241:Liberation Gate Congress (1)
The sixteenth day of the lunar month.
The Shimen Cultural Seminar was held in the Great Ci'en Temple.
The most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang'an City, located in Jinchangfang, is the 22nd year of Zhenguan of Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and the crown prince Li Zhi was founded in memory of his mother, Empress Wende's eldest grandson.
After returning from the scriptures, Xuanzang presided over the temple affairs here, led the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and founded the Faxiangzong, one of the eight major sects of Chinese Buddhism.
In order to preserve the relics brought back from the Western Regions, Xuanzang built a brick tower in the shape of the Western Regions in the temple.
The name of the tower was originally called "wild goose", because of the allusion that the gate of the gate was buried to bury the wild goose to build the tower, and then because of its majestic potential, it was Mahayana Buddhism that was stored again, so it added a big character in front, it was the big wild goose pagoda.
The tower body was originally five stories high, Li Shimin felt that it was not grand enough, and could not show the magnificence of the Tang Dynasty, so he ordered to rebuild it, and it was repaired into nine layers in one go.
Later, Wu Zetian was in power, and he turned strange into even, and he wanted to cover his ex-husband, and he forcibly raised a layer, which was very majestic, as evidenced by poetry:
"The tower is like a gushing out, lonely and towering in the heavenly palace.
Ascending out of the world, the road is empty. ”
As a result, good flowers do not bloom often, beauty is difficult to last, and the earth dragon turns over......
The seven-story pagoda inherited from the present was repaired in the Tang Dynasty five generations later.
However, the literati have always liked to join in the fun, and in the end of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many literati and ink writers left ink treasures on this tower.
In addition to riding a horse to see all the Chang'an flowers in one day, they also have to drink and comment on poems and poems together in the Qujiang River, which is a grand event with the holy driver.
First, the apricot orchard explores the flowers, then participates in the state banquet, and finally climbs the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, where the calligraphers inscribe their names, places of origin and time with ink pens on the wall to commemorate them, symbolizing that they are rising step by step.
If any of these people become prime ministers in the future, they will have to change their names to red pen writing.
Among the people who inscribed the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda, the most famous is Bai Juyi. At the age of twenty-seven, he won the first place in one fell swoop, climbed the Wild Goose Pagoda, and inscribed "The inscription under the Pagoda of Mercy, the youngest of the seventeen".
Great writers also have times when they are young and frivolous.
The title of the wild goose pagoda, the eight views of Chang'an, is just a derivative, the key is that the Great Ci'en Temple has a lofty leadership position in the Shimen, and no one has anything to say to hold a cultural seminar in such a place.
There were more than 2,300 monks who participated in this grand meeting, but only 36 monks were qualified to enter the lecture hall.
First, they sent letters on horseback, invited the public, and when they came, they said that the weather was too cold, the cold wind was too strong, and they could not hear the speech in the square at hand, so they could only hold it in the lecture hall.
The Great Ci'en Temple has a lot of money, and all dynasties have financial allocations every year, so the lecture hall is also very large, in fact, it can accommodate a full 300 people.
But His Majesty has a will, the weather is cold, and then sit on the futon, the old people can stand it, and the monks are old, how can they suffer from the cold, all the tables and chairs, one person and one position, the table is wide and long, the chairs are tall, and the people sit there, which is the solemn appearance of the treasure.
Of course, the emperor's position is the highest and the largest, and the ministers of the ruling government are not inferior to the monks, and they have forcibly raised a step, but the highest level is the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, which is full of gold and color, and the weather is thousands.
This time, the lecture hall that could originally accommodate 300 people can only accommodate 36 monks, and there are many monks and few monks, so what to do is simple - adhering to the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, and conducting elections.
You are all the same practitioners, who are familiar with each other, who is virtuous, who is the representative.
His Majesty said that this is a grand event of Buddhism, and the royal gift should be given a purple-clothed monk's robe and a seven-treasure robe, which should be worn properly, so it should be tailor-made.
As a result, simple things were not simple immediately, in order to compete for this position, they fought for seven days in a row, Jiayin took Cao Bin and Chai Zongxun back from Xingyuan, and these thirty-six representatives have not yet been elected.
You are virtuous and respectful, and I am still profound in the Dharma, and you are making a lot of noise.
Jiayin was so lively, he threw Cao Bin and Chai Zongxun to Qin Yue's side, and then ran to the Daci'en Temple to see the excitement, watched it for a long time, and found it interesting, saying that I am also a person from Shimen, and I also signed up for a position.
These words frightened the monks, and someone asked, dare to ask General A, who did you study with?
Lazy monks, iron arhats, haven't you heard of such a famous person on the rivers and lakes?
Before the monks could understand, Jia Yin left laughing, saying that he was amusing you, but he continued to go back to listen to Qin Yue and Cao Bin.
However, after his nonsense, he immediately accelerated the speed of the election.
On the twelfth day of the twelfth month, the representative of the Liberation Gate was finally elected, Qin Yue immediately fulfilled his promise and gave the thirty-six virtuous monks monks' robes filled with new cotton, as well as colorful robes.
The key is that the chest is also embroidered with a statue of the Buddha, and there is the words "The First Liberation Gate Congress" below.
Well, unconsciously, the cultural seminar became a congress, a few people were happy and a few people were worried, Qin Yue didn't care, because the opening ceremony on the first day was presided over by Tang Shi, Zeng Wu attended, and let the monks understand the imperial court policy first, and be familiar with the etiquette of deliberations.
The hard stone that Qin Yue himself had to deal with was Cao Bin.
Cao Bin is a typical loser who doesn't lose power, and he is still hard-mouthed when he dies, saying that he was yin by you, and a certain family recognized it, and now, when people come, they want to kill or chop casually, and they are not considered heroes when they frown.
Qin Yue came first to the soft one, then to the hard one, and finally said that he was lazy and said that he could guess the punch and fight, or in exchange for Cao Bin's pair of whites of the eyes, such a result was a little crazy.
On the contrary, Chai Zongxun's arrangement is simple.
Qin Yue said very openly: "The current situation, I can't tolerate it, this world is not a family with one surname, but a world of people and all people, if I abdicate, the world will only be more chaotic, and the people will only be more miserable." ”
Chai Zongxun showed a maturity that was completely inconsistent with his age, got up, first saluted Qin Yue, and said solemnly: "Zongxun first thanked Your Majesty for the grace of King Qin to save the driver, although the matter did not work out, but the little lady also made a decision under the condition of learning from the pain.
It is not the country that is abandoned, because the country does not belong to me anymore.
It is the responsibility that is abandoned, and it is also the responsibility that is recovered.
The stability of the world and the happiness of the people are the greatest expectations of the late father.
The reproduction of bloodlines and the success of children and grandchildren are also the greatest expectations of the late father. ”
Although the words were loud, he was still young after all, and before he finished speaking, his eyes turned red.
Qin Yue, who said this, was also embarrassed, got up, pressed Chai Zongxun back to his position, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Your father, the emperor, has the grace of knowing and cultivating me, this kindness is as great as Mount Tai, this position, since I sit down, I can't help it, besides, what do you need, just speak."
However, for now, you should focus on your studies, learn martial arts, find your uncle, well, so call it, he likes to pretend to have a big tail; If you want to learn literature, find this Master Cheng, he is your Uncle Huzi's senior brother and the best teacher; If you want to learn to be a soldier, you will follow Mu Nanke and stretch out a little finger, which is also stronger than you, Uncle Cao. ”
Cao Bin snorted coldly in his nose, but did not speak.
Chai Zongxun looked at Cao Bin, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Can you ...... Can you get my little lady out of ......"
"That's a must, in fact, since she left the palace, her life is still peaceful, and there are our people to protect her, even if there is a crisis, she can deal with it, but she can't move, because behind her, there are hundreds of relatives."
"Hmm."
"First of all, you will be a marquis, with Yulu, economic freedom, people can be free, and then you can do what you want to learn, I will help you find a teacher, but you must also work hard, motivated, not willing to be mediocre.
The reason why I am brilliant in China and proud of the world is because there are hundreds of people competing for romance, I am now enlightened, but it is too late to have a choice, otherwise, I would rather be an ancestor Chongzhi. ”
"Zu Chongzhi?"
"Yes, if I have more ancestors in Huaxia, the world is big, and the footprints are everywhere, it will be Huaxia."
Chai Zongxun had a look of doubt on his face, but there was a different brightness in his eyes.
