Chapter 285 The Monk of Honglu Temple-II
"Hahahaha......" Hearing Li Shimin talk about the conversation with Shu Tingbei, Zhuge Liang, who had just woken up from the lunch break, lay on the bed and laughed over and over again, "The four masters are really wise and martial, and they are worthy of being a living treasure-level character, and such jokes can be made." ”
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, had a bitter face. He didn't think it was Shu Tingbei's joke. It is obvious that the bald donkeys have corrupted the word "temple", so that when Shu Tingbei heard the word "temple", she directly thought of the temple.
What does "temple" mean? There are clouds in "Shuowen": the temple, the court, and those who have the law. "Sancang" says more clearly, temples, official houses.
Later, after Buddhism spread to the Central Plains, it began to use the word "temple" to refer to the place where they lived. From this point, it can be seen that Buddhism from India did not take the government of the Central Plains seriously from the beginning, and used the name of the official residence at the beginning, which is not a way to show respect.
In early Buddhism, various statues of the Buddha were also eagle-hooked Aryan statues, which were the appearance of the conquerors, and the Aryans once invaded India and left their descendants. It's a pity that after they came to the Central Plains, we have reason to proudly say that your government has come to an end. The next evolution of Buddha statues, without exception, embarked on the road of localization, and soon after, even the Buddha looked like a kind old man in the Central Plains.
It can be seen that the so-called historical inheritance cannot be authentic at all. This is true of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam. So those who claim to follow the Holy Prophet don't know whose meaning they are following. It is also for this reason that there are many opportunities for academic careerists to promote their meaning under the banner of "retro". For example, in the wave of "doubtful scriptures", Wang Anshi, who occupies the position of official science, was satirized by Su Shi, Cheng Yi Cheng Hao's Luoxue who was suppressed by Wang Anshi, and Zhang Zaiguanxue, whose world view is closest to atomism.
In the eight hundred years since, Cheng Zhu Lixue finally dominated by his own nonsense. One of the speculations of the cynics is that the cultural cultivation of the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty is low, and they may think that the Southern Song Dynasty regime denounced Zhu Xi's learning as "pseudo-learning", so there was no China after Yashan, so the Ming Dynasty decisively insisted on Zhu Xi's learning. As a result, the Later Jin Jurchen army drove straight in, and the Ming Dynasty firearms troops even defected, and then, the Southern Ming regime did not even get the opportunity to be as peaceful as the Southern Song Dynasty regime.
Since then, "no China" no longer needs "after the cliff mountain".
The so-called Han tradition that we adhere to now makes Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, and Liu Bei laugh off their big teeth after seeing it.
Of course, in this process, the ability of traditional novels to distort the worldview still exists. In Luo Guanzhong's "The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons", there have been many times the logic of "there is poetry as proof", and these four words actually do not only appear in this book. But we know that "there are poems" can't be proved by bullshit. However, the lower-class literati are still willing to show their writing skills, and then use the blind worship of culture by the general public to promote a world view and logical system that they are not sure of. Now, we have to thank our education for making us no longer worship blindly, but at the same time we should despise our education and keep us from knowing these facts at the school level.
Regarding Zhuge Liang's words, Li Shimin's attitude was obviously disapproving. Having said that, he didn't think it was a wise decision to let Zhuge Liang persuade Shu Ting not to pay attention to historical common sense. Or, Zhuge Liang's sentence just now, there is another interpretation. …
The clever Zhuge Wuhou had already figured out Li Shimin's intentions, but he also knew that this kind of persuasion had no effect. Therefore, even if he knew that Li Shimin had good intentions, all he could do was to cover up for the four lords.
If that were the case, Li Shimin would feel that it would be a waste of time for him to continue to stay here. Perhaps, Zhuge Liang has now driven him away in his heart.
"In that case, then I'll go first."
Zhuge Liang got up from the bed, sighed, and sent Li Shimin, who was no longer willing to say anything, away.
After coming back, Zhuge Liang wanted to laugh when he thought of the wise and martial Shu Tingbei. In the end, he couldn't help it and went to find Shu Tingbei.
"Let, do you want to go to Honglu Temple to have a look."
At this time, Shu Tingbei looked curious, "I really want to go to that temple to have a look." ”
The bureaucratic system in the early and middle Northern Song Dynasty was probably the most chaotic period in history. Officials are separated from their duties and from their dispatches. At the same time, in order to weaken the existing power structure, the Northern Song Dynasty court arbitrarily set up official offices, resulting in a sharp increase in redundant officials and redundant personnel. In addition, there are still a large number of clan nobles to feed, and the cost of the government is very high when it is running.
This is actually an important reason for Wang Anshi's change. Because, there is no money to spend.
But unfortunately, during the period that Zhuge Liang and Shu Tingbei traveled over, Wang Anshi was still an official in the southeast. Therefore, most of the diplomatic functions of Honglu Temple are actually entrusted to the Privy Council. And Honglu Temple itself, like Taichang Temple and Guanglu Temple, basically has nothing to do, just an empty yamen.
Therefore, when Shu Tingbei and Zhuge Liang came to Honglu Temple according to the map, they found that there were basically no people here.
"Why don't there be two monks? Doesn't it look like the incense is very strong? ”
Zhuge Liang couldn't bear it anymore.
"My lord. This Honglu Temple, in fact, ......"
"Actually, it's not a place for monks to stay, is it?"
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately jumped up like a fried cat. "Don't you know, it's like a little girl who doesn't know anything."
"What's wrong?" Shu Tingbei smiled, "As long as you pretend to be forced, we are not allowed to sell cute." ”
Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded, when did he pretend to be forced. It's true that Shu Tingbei likes to sell cuteness. And it's a common phenomenon, just like thunder on a rainy day.
"Could it be that you went out and asked 'where is the monk of Honglu Temple', in order to sell cuteness?"
"In that case, I just don't feel like I'm being ridiculed as often, and I'm not that bored. Speaking of which, it's your attitude towards me that is more important. I heard that Li Shimin went to look for you, what's the matter, you are not satisfied with his opinion, or do you already think that I am an incorrigible person. ”
"No, absolutely not." Zhuge Liang immediately cleared his mind, "Li Shimin may think so in his heart, but he is a person who is used to multiple steps, and it is not unusual for that situation to occur." ”
"Uh, is that so?" Shu Tingbei said to Zhuge Liang with a smile, "Then let's let the people here feel the power of the time and space dealers." ”
Zhuge Liang only felt that the cold wind was blowing on his back, as if he wanted to insert a needle into each of his spine, but he still had to cater to what Shu Tingbei said.
