After a long silence, Xu Hui, who had a bitter smile on the corner of his lips, broke the silence: "If you don't launch the Prajna School, with my Xu's current strength, can there be other ways to prevent Buddhism from sitting big?" ”

Her question went straight to the point, and after thinking for a while, Xu Heng gave a positive answer in a determined tone: "No." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yes and no.

The foundation of the Shangdang Xu clan is too weak, the talent is too lacking, and they can win the hearts of the people in order to win enough fame, but they cannot be forcibly seized like other families, which is destined to hinder their development by many factors.

If the Buddhists in the north are single-minded, colluding with the Western Regions at both ends of the first rat, and fully supporting the Hu people, it is only a matter of time before the corrupt government of Daqi is now controlled by the family.

Seeing that his grandfather still didn't speak, Xu Heng smiled lightly, and there was a little more lightness in his voice, and there was some indescribable excitement: "Grandfather, instead of worrying about this and thinking about that, it's better to give it a go." If you really get your long-cherished wish fulfilled, let alone the Prajna school, even Buddhism has to bow down and be subordinate, and you can fiddle with it as much as you want, so wouldn't it be happy? ”

Xu Ze's soft gaze lingered on Xu Heng and Xu Hui for a moment, and then moved to the Lotus Sutra.

Xu Heng is talented, arrogant and conceited, and has the pride and escape unique to young people, he is an unpolished diamond that will surely shine. Xu Hui is meticulous, low-key and cautious, and because of the things in his previous life, he always pursues thoughtfulness and stability. If such two brothers and sisters can maintain their relationship as always, not affected by any external factors, and cooperate with each other, even if he leaves, he can completely relax with his children and grandchildren, but ...... Among the two, Xu Heng, who is the dominant party, has not yet completely settled his temperament, and the human heart is the most fickle existence in this world.

Thinking of this, Xu Ze sighed softly in his heart.

He is not yet forty-seven years old, if he was in the prime of life in his previous life, he should be in the prime of life, and he should be thirteen years away from retirement. But the medical conditions are extremely low, a cold can kill people, an ordinary plague can kill thousands of people, forty-seven years old, is already a person who has half a foot into the loess!

Sensing that his grandfather's mood was a little low, Xu Hui thought that Xu Ze was dissatisfied with Xu Heng's radical remarks, so he quickly changed the topic: "Grandfather, does my granddaughter have to leave the study?" Calculate the time, Senior Zhong should also be ...... fast"

"Zhong Wan?" The corners of Xu Ze's lips rose slightly, and he said with some sarcasm, "Do you think that for such a trivial matter, Zhong Wan will come over to apologize to me in person?" ”

"But ......"

Xu Ze looked at his grandson and granddaughter who were most important, his expression was calm, and his words were like knives: "Many families in Yingchuan are arrogant and arrogant, and even look down on the surnames Wu and Bei, how can they look down on us families with the surname Bei from humble backgrounds?" If it weren't for the Zhong family's incident, the family surnamed Wu and Qiao knew the inside story, disgusted that Yun Niang had no half of the Zhong family to rely on, and refused to promise a young talent, Zhong Wan hindered his face and family reputation, and couldn't let Yun Niang marry casually, so that he couldn't make it high or low, how could this marriage fall on Zichu? Over the years, the seemingly harmonious relationship between the Xu family and the Zhong family is just to take what they need! Don't you all understand this? ”

The wedding of Xu Rong and Zhong Yun linked the originally unrelated Shangdang Xu and Yingchuan Zhong together, and made a covenant to help each other in the peaceful years. But since Xu Rong, who was supposed to be the Taishou of the party, died of illness, and Mrs. Zhong had no children, the definition of Mrs. Zhong by the Zhong family has changed from "a chess piece that may be effective at a critical time" to "a chicken rib that is tasteless to eat and a pity to abandon".

Even if it is not as out as today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... Someday, the contradictions that have been backlogged for many years will erupt. Just like today, the Zhong family let the Xu family go through the side door, and the Xu family regarded it as humiliation; But for the people of the Zhong family, no matter how down-and-out the royal family is, no matter how unsatisfactory it is, it is better than the family with the northern surname who was still part of the Han clan five generations ago, so it is natural to divide the priorities. In Zhong Wan's opinion, even if his mother and wife do not do it properly, there is no need for he, the head of the family, to tear off his face and personally apologize. After all, Zhong Wan has been an official more than Xu Ze; And the 700-year heritage of the Zhong family is far from being comparable to the Xu family; Zhong Wan can't help Xu Ze, this is indeed true, but can Xu Ze help but get Zhong Wan? The answer, of course, is no.

This is the contradiction between the concept of the emerging family and the old family, different things based on the same reason, do not happen in the Xu family, but in every corner where the surname Bei and the surname Wu and the surname Qiao collide, but there is just a lack of a burst of fire. There will never be eternal friends and enemies between families, and there will only be eternal interests.

When Xu Heng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "What if Zhong Wan is proud? The three grandsons he values the most are indeed talented, but the three of them, one is above the top and has no self-knowledge; A narrow-minded person is difficult to achieve; An indulged in wine, for a short life. If it is a peaceful era, hidden in the mansion, doing I don't know if it is my own knowledge, encountering trouble and mud, it is just a matter of spending my life in peace. Can be messed ...... At such a special moment, there is no successor, and the scenery of the past must be empty! ”

He is talented, his heart is extremely high, he can't tolerate others to look down on and slander, and when he hears Zhong Wan's gentle and kind on the surface, he actually has this mentality towards Xu, and he can't stand it for his grandfather and sister. Xu Hui quickly recalled the map of Daqi, and said with a little disappointment: "The terrain of Yingchuan is too good, and the environment is extremely superior, unless the Hu people invade, it is difficult to cause them any harm." ”

Hearing Xu Hui say this, Xu Heng couldn't help but be stunned.

I haven't seen her for a year, when did my sister become so murderous? When something happens, I don't think about how to defeat my enemies politically, but I think about destroying them by force? But...... Xu Heng touched his chin and began to think about the possibility of Xu Hui's proposal.

Hui'er is right, even if the political struggle fails, with the background of the family, it is difficult to completely and quickly, and the invasion of the Hu people is much simpler. Destroying the withered and decaying, slaughtering the city and exterminating the clan, Xiucai met the soldiers, no matter how reasonable it is, it can't be explained! The problem is that Shangdang is in the north of Yingchuan, and if the Hu people invade, it will definitely be Shangdang who will suffer first.

"It's hard to do!" Unconsciously, he said what was in his heart, and Xu Hui asked curiously, "What is so difficult to do?" ”

"Let Hu Ren enter the ......" Xu Heng stopped talking, smiled awkwardly, and saw his sister look away from him angrily, and said, "If you really do such a thing that is inferior to a beast for personal grudges, I will be without you as a brother!" ”

Xu Heng just wanted to say something, but Xu Ze suddenly said: "Hu people can't do it, what about the displaced people?" ”

Hearing Xu Ze's question, he stayed here for more than a year, Xu Heng, who had surveyed the situation, shook his head and said disapprovingly: "The Yingchuan forces are staggered, the officials dare not be too arrogant, the people's lives are okay, and the idea of rebellion will not arise." If the displaced people from other counties gather hundreds of thousands of people and have a good enough leader, they will fight to the death against many tribes with their lives, and they will not retreat, there is a slight possibility of victory, but this is too ...... What's more, if Yingchuan is destroyed, many books will also ......"

Xu Hui, who listened carefully to Xu Heng's analysis, thought for a while before asking: "Listening to my brother's words, I suddenly thought, can our intermediary get mixed into the Taiping Dao and wait for the future...... Or look for opportunities to make your own profits? ”

It is true that Taoism is the state religion of Daqi, but it has also divided into too many schools, such as the Heavenly Master Dao, the Five Bucket Rice Dao, which have been approved by the government, and can have their own Taoist temples and dojos, and also have a large number of believers and high prestige in the family. As for Taiping Road...... Its great name is in Daqi, which can be described as thunderous, and everyone knows it, but its purpose and way of action are diametrically opposed to the Heavenly Master Dao -- starting from Zhang Jiao, the founder of the Dao, the successive generations of Taiping Dao heirs have been tirelessly devoted to the promising cause of uniting the toiling masses and resolutely taking the line of rebellion. Even if the government suppressed and suppressed, and the family suppressed it repeatedly, the teachings and inheritance of Taiping Dao have never been broken, and they will always raise a counter-flag when Daqi is vulnerable, giving Daqi's already shaky rule another stab.

Regarding this point, Xu Ze actually admires Zhang Jiao, after all, in a different time and space, the Eastern Han Dynasty has also become a Great Qi, and so many heroes have all been dropped by butterflies. The founder of Taiping Road is still in the long river of history and has written a heavy stroke.

Hearing his sister's suggestion, Xu Heng's mind also became active, and as soon as he wanted to say something, Xu Ze categorically vetoed: "No." ”

The brainwashing power of religion is too strong and incendiary, and Xu Ze does not dare to guarantee that the spies he sent out will stay in Taiping Road for ten or eight years, and still maintain his loyalty to the Xu clan of the party. What's more, if this kind of religion wants to rebel, it must absorb other forces, and it is likely to unconditionally absorb the power of surrender, not to mention that it is especially easy to disperse power, and it is also convenient to install people, so it is impossible to come to such a thing from the beginning.

Seeing Xu Hui's face full of disappointment, Xu Heng was a little unwilling, Xu Ze deeply felt that it was not a good thing to be too smart and flexible in thought. So he took out the original text of the Lotus Sutra that he had carefully expanded and said, "Heng'er and Hui'er, you two also know Sanskrit very well, and we will not go out these days to translate the Lotus Sutra together, so that you can have a better understanding of the Prajna school. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to translate the scriptures, Xu Heng, who was biased towards Taoism over Buddhism, subconsciously frowned, and Xu Hui was also a little depressed, but he didn't say anything to refuse. Because they all know that whether it is for them, for Xu Ze, or for the Shangdang Xu family, the tough battle has just begun. (To be continued.) )
