Du He thought about it, but he didn't come up with it even if he tried his brain, snorted, and fought with silence.

"It can be seen that what persuades people to do good deeds and accumulate virtue is also a cliché, and there is nothing unusual." Xu Qilin said: "Look at the princes here, or rely on talent, strategy, or proficiency in scriptures, before they can enter the room. Who else relied on the cause and effect of the previous life, did not study hard, and struggled to achieve today's achievements? ”

Du He's face was angry, and he felt that he was mocking himself for having no talent and no virtue, no learning and no skills, and only relying on his father's shadow to gain office.

Xu Qilin stopped looking at him, bowed his hand to the guests present, and said: "The kid is arrogant, and he is ugly and clumsy in front of the princes." Inheriting the teacher's training, he is also a shallow learner, and he doesn't want to fight over words. However, for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the reputation of the family teacher, he had to stand up and defend. In the words, if there is any offense, I hope that the public will see that a certain age is still young, and forgive more. ”

Kong Yingda has a good impression of Xu Qilin, Confucianism and Taoism are close, and in the future, Confucianism and Taoism will join forces to oppose Buddhism. Therefore, he bowed his head slightly and took the lead in saying: "Speak freely, reasoned and difficult, and it is harmless to speak a little late." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, as the host, saw that Lao Kong was speaking, so he also smiled and said: "I don't want to have a banquet today, but I'm so happy." Xu Cheng's words on behalf of the teacher are thought-provoking, worthy of being a Taoist immortal master, and he is admired and admired. ”

Chu Liang was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only avoid the important and said lightly: "People can promote the Tao, but not the Tao." The words of the sage made a certain mouth suddenly. ”

Several bigwigs spoke, and the tone was set, and everyone present echoed it, and the atmosphere became warm again.

Everyone is not an ordinary person, and they also know that Xu Qilin is opportunistic, talking about benefiting the country and the people, and moving out of His Majesty, standing on the high ground of morality, making it difficult for people to refute, but he may not be proficient in the scriptures.

But no one has studied the details, pretending to be confused and following the crowd is the way to live in the world.

What is even happier is Xu Huang and other people in the Taoist sect, worshipping the Tao and suppressing the Buddha is what they want, and Xu Qilin, a new force, has emerged, regardless of whether it is really a suggestion or not, this matter has spread, and it is also a big blow to Shamen.

Du He forcibly suppressed his grievances and sat in the seat to make a happy face. The eldest grandson Wuji and Kong Yingda were present, but he couldn't have a seizure.

At the same time, Du He also regretted in his heart, what did he do to provoke Xu Qilin? Wouldn't it be better to wait until the three teachings are preached to make it difficult, and not to rush to the front by yourself, and see how Xu Qilin deals with the prince?

When this matter came out, would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still let Xu Qilin participate in the lecture on the three religions?

This guy is obviously a troublemaker, if he is not lightly or seriously talking nonsense, if the people in the Shamen hear about his remarks and do not quarrel with each other, will it not destroy the harmonious tone of the conference and damage the reputation of His Royal Highness the Prince?

In fact, he is not the only one who is so worried. All of them here are human spirits, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Kong Yingda and others are even older foxes, how can they not think of this layer?

"The Three Treatises Conference, if Shamen is in trouble-" Kong Yingda stopped talking, looked at Du He, and said: "Why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to change the list, don't let Xu Cheng attend the meeting!" ”

Du He looked at Kong Yingda, hesitated for a moment, and it was difficult to answer.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "If Jinglun's argument turns into a battle of will, I am afraid it will not be very good. Xu Cheng was a young man, and he took care of the reputation of his teacher, so it was difficult for a strong man to endure it. ”

Du He finally nodded, his personal grudges still couldn't match the reputation of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he decided to go back and suggested to the prince that Xu Qilin be kicked out of the list.

Xu Qilin also heard it, and he was proud in his heart, and he wanted this effect. Don't be afraid that I'll make trouble, just let me go and see who loses face in the end.

As for what to advise, Xu Qilin is just talking. But these words will definitely reach the ears of His Majesty Li Er, whether he is revered for Buddhism, when it will start, and under what pretext it will be implemented, it is not a matter for him to worry about.

The reason why Buddhism was tolerated and supported by the feudal ruling class was not that the ruling class could not see all the shortcomings of Buddhism, but that it adopted policies under trade-offs.

This is because Buddhism encourages people to endure all the sufferings of this life and pursue the so-called happiness of the afterlife, which does not exist at all, so as to play a role in stabilizing society. To put it mildly, it is to paralyze the people's will to resist.

and how Shamen will react to his anti-Buddha remarks, Xu Qilin feels that if he is smart, he will not take the opportunity to embarrass him, and pretending to be deaf and dumb is the best policy.

Because, this is just casual words in the banquet, if it makes a big fuss, the government and the opposition know about it, and if it sets off a trend, it will do all kinds of harm to Shamen and no benefit.

"Drink to win." Liu Zhenghe raised his glass again and invited him to drink, and he admired Xu Qilin so much that he threw himself to the ground.

"Drink to win!" Xu Qilin was broad-minded and also raised his glass to drink.

Eating and drinking, and watching the singers sing and dance, Xu Qilin finally returned happy, lost the gift, and earned a belly. Well, and made a name for yourself!

………….

The sunlight shines through the light veil and sprinkles on Princess Changle's beautiful jade face. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Li Lizhi slowly opened her eyes and saw her husband sitting next to her, looking at her with a stupid smile.

Stretching out her hand to cover her mouth and yawning, Li Lizhi was helped up by her husband's lazy body, took the tea served by the maid, drank two sips, and asked with a smile: "The banquet is over?" ”

"Scattered, scattered." The eldest grandson Chong couldn't suppress his smile and said, "It's a pity that the lady can't go to the banquet, and I haven't heard and witnessed the interesting things in the meantime. ”

"Then Lang Jun will tell the concubine to listen!" Li Li said with a smile: "It's just eating, drinking, chatting, listening to songs and dancing, what fun can it have?" ”

The eldest grandson laughed and said, "If there is no Xu Xiaolang at the table, it must be the same as usual, there is nothing to say." Today is different, and the witty words are really unbearable. I have to endure it at the table, and now I can laugh. ”

Li Li's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked curiously: "Xu Xiaolang is still young, why do you come from a witty remark, it must be a paraphrase of Lu Yu's immortal elders." ”

"That's right." Eldest Sun Chong nodded, and began to tell what happened in the banquet.

Li Lizhen frowned when she began to listen, and hurriedly asked, "Xu Xiaolang is anti-Buddha and Buddha?" This is no small matter. said in front of everyone at the banquet that even if his teacher was a Taoist, he was a little reckless and bold. ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, wait until I continue, and you will understand." ”

Li Lizhi nodded, picked up the teacup, and sipped slowly. After a while, however, she burst into laughter and hurriedly handed the teacup to the maid.

"If it's a woman, Xu Xiaolang is so narrow, hehehehe." Li Lizhi covered her small mouth and laughed, "If there is a sand gate on the table, why don't you fight with him?" ”

"Jokes and jokes, if Shamen is entangled, it is inferior." Eldest Sun Chong smiled disapprerovingly, "I think Xu Xiaolang also did it on purpose, there was no sand gate at the banquet, he made a lot of nonsense, he probably didn't want to participate in the Three Religions Lecture Conference." ”

Li Li sighed and looked at her husband with an inquiring gaze.

The eldest grandson Chong pondered for a moment and said, "When Xu Xiaolang and I left, we had a conversation on the road, and he didn't know anything about participating in the Three Teachings Seminar, and his expression was quite shocked, I think there should be something strange about this matter. Looking at Xu Xiaolang's attitude towards Du He, there seems to be discord between the two. ”

Li Lizhi frowned slightly, thought about it, and said, "Could it be that inviting Xu Xiaolang to attend the meeting is ill-intentioned?" ”

The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "I don't know. Just looking at Xu Xiaolang's reaction, he should think so. ”

"It's not good." Li Lizhi said slowly: "If there is any misunderstanding, don't let the suspicion deepen, and then become a grudge." ”

Changsun Chong said: "I will ask if I have the opportunity, if I can solve it, it is the best." ”

Li Li nodded and said: "Speaking of which, it is not an outsider, it is better to be harmonious and close." ”

The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Although Xu Xiaolang is young, the benefits of his tongue are not inferior. Bald everywhere, who is the real monk? Haha, I want to laugh when I think of that. ”

Li Lizhi also laughed, and said angrily: "This Xu Xiaolang, why don't you keep your mouth on your lips and arrange the Shamen monk like this?" ”

"He made his debut, and he is a young man, so it is reasonable to depreciate Buddhism." The eldest grandson Chong took his beloved wife's jade hand, patted it gently, and said: "It's Lu Yu Immortal, who knows the subtleties, has a profound Taoism, and is admirable." ”

Oh, Li Li glanced at her husband with disgust, and said, "Let's listen to it, what does the immortal chief say?" ”

The eldest grandson Chong stroked the jade hand and said eloquently, what "the Tao is prospered by people, and it is also walked by people", and what "four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasty" sighed.

Li Lizhi listened carefully and sighed from time to time.

"Hehe, Xu Xiaolang is so cunning and cunning, flattering his father and the emperor as the Buddha of this world, and he is not in the mouth of everyone, which is also praiseworthy."

"The Tao is prospered by people, and it is also walked by people. This is a wonderful saying, the immortal chief has seen the secret of the avenue, and it is a pity that he can't see the real body and listen to the truth. ”

"There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. What a poem, reminiscing about the past and reminiscing, thought-provoking. Thinking that the Southern Dynasty was devoted to the Buddha, how pious it was, but in the end, the country was destroyed, and it was just an empty dream. ”

Li Li looked out the window, and seemed to see the pavilions and pavilions in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, her eyes were a little confused, and her mouth sighed, "This Xu Xiaolang, I can't remember the master's words clearly, why are there only two sentences?" ”

The eldest grandson smiled, sat side by side with his beloved wife, hugged her slender waist, and comforted her gently: "When I go to let Xu Xiaolang remember, I will definitely write all this poem and show it to the lady for appreciation." ”

Li Li said angrily: "The slave family is only shallow in learning, how dare you appreciate the poetry of the immortal, if you want to say that it is to pay respect." ”

"Yes, yes, look, look." The eldest grandson Chong accompanied the smiling face and coaxed his beloved wife.

Li Lizhi didn't know what she thought, and suddenly burst out laughing, making Changsun Chong wonder.

"You say, Xu Chongrong is so quiet and gentle, how can there be a quirky and floating brother like Xu Xiaolang?" Li Lizhi finally stopped laughing, but there was still a smile on her face.

"This-" Changsun Chong shook his head with a smile and said, "Maybe it's because there are no adults in the family and no one cares about him, so he has today's temperament!" ”

Li Lizhi nodded and said, "Needless to say, you are smart, but this casual nonsense is better to be restrained." ”

"He's still young!" The eldest grandson Chong said: "When you are older, you will naturally be steady. ”

Li Lizhi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "When we meet today, we should be able to settle the matter of osmanthus fragrance dew, and save yourself from asking for it." ”

"Don't worry, lady, if you need a fragrance in the future, I will ask him for it." The eldest grandson Chong firmly assured, "There are also more novelties in the Xu family's shops outside the city, and I often go to buy them." ”

As he was talking, the maid came in to say goodbye, and the eldest grandson Wuji asked the eldest grandson to rush over to talk, and the two cousins were reluctant to separate.

…………….

Xu Qilin was not bad, for the sake of the harmony and success of the conference, he, a troublemaker who made a lot of nonsense, was kicked out of the list of participants the next day and disqualified from participating in the conference.

And his anti-Buddha remarks have not yet spread widely, and no defenders have come to him to theorize or protest at home.

It's good, life is back to normal. Xu Qilin continued to be busy in Dayingku, and was ready to set off for Luoyang in the autumn.

Although Xu Qilin did not go to the Three Religions Lecture Conference to stir up the situation and destroy it, there was still disharmony at the conference.

I don't know if it was inspired by Xu Qilin, after the Buddhist Huijing opened the "Lotus Sutra" and the Taoist lecturer Cai Huang finished speaking on the "Tao Te Ching", he did not use the scriptures to make difficulties in the protest, but started with how the Taoism and Buddhism benefit the country and the people.

There have been many great debates in Buddhism and Taoism in history, and the 14 influential ones have been more influential, and the winning rate of Buddhism is significantly higher than that of Taoism. Angry, Taoist priest Wang Fu fabricated "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Sutra", saying that Shakyamuni was enlightened by Lao Tzu to become a Buddha.

But in the end, the fabrication was rootless and unfounded, and it was a moment of righteousness, but it laid a hidden danger for the Daomen. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was finally defeated and ruthlessly suppressed.

In terms of economics, Taoism mainly takes Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" as the main theory, but it is not as numerous and perfect as the Buddhist scriptures.

And Cai Huang's talk about benefiting the country and the people is also to avoid its strengths and weaknesses and give full play to the inherent advantages of Taoism.

You must know that Taoism does have in-depth research and mastery in medicine, mathematics, divination (I Ching), alchemy (chemistry), etc.

For example, when Chinese medicine was not clearly defined at that time, Taoism had the highest medical skills, which is the so-called "ten ways and nine doctors".

Moreover, quite a few celebrities in history are Daomen, such as Fan Li, Hua Tuo, Zhang Liang, Zu Chongzhi, Wang Xizhi, Sun Simiao, Wu Daozi, Li Bai, and even Wei Zheng, the prime minister of the dynasty.

There are so many historical celebrities who are Taoists, which is inseparable from the entry of Taoists into the WTO. The monk was born to practice, nesting in the temple Ami Tofu, regardless of the change of dynasties, let alone the chaos of war, that is, he did not ask about the world.

The effect of Cai Huang's change of strategy is obvious, although Hui Jing's words are extremely sharp and knowledgeable, but in view of the actual situation, he can only persuade the good and educate to turn around, so that Cai Huang has the upper hand.

Of course, in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed happily, sat together and celebrated, and ordered the day: "Don't be happy to the point." "The conference was successfully concluded.

It can be regarded as harmony, there is no tearing of the face, there is no bad language, and there is no foul language like Xu Qilin "bald".
