Shi Yuan was shocked and asked: "Your Excellency is the nephew of Pang Degong, Mr. Shuijing's high apprentice, and Pang Shiyuanhu, who is known as the 'Phoenix Chick'?" ”

Pang Tong said: "Yes. ”

Shi Yuan said: "Mr. Jiuwen is well-read and eloquent, and his eloquence is unparalleled. ”

Pang Tong said: "People with dead hearts, send their love to the mountains and forests, read the writings of the sages of the past, and occasionally gain something, which makes the great monk smile." ”

Shi Yuan said: "Mr. is highly talented, every word is fine, it sounds refreshing and has benefited a lot. ”

Pang Tong grinned, the huge yellow plate teeth were exposed, which made people shudder, Rao is Shiyuan and the twelve monks have been cultivating for many years, and they couldn't help but feel numb, only to hear Pang Tong say: "I am fortunate to know all the monks, how about I dare to invite you to have a drink?" ”

Shi Yuan said: "Mr. said that he laughed, the Shi family has strict precepts and cannot drink." ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "Cultivating the Buddha lies in cultivating the mind, wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart, why should the master bother?" ”

Shi Yuan smiled slightly, but did not answer, Pang Tong was bored, so he had to return to his position and drink sullenly.

Liu Ze returned to the capital, rested for a few days, and began to govern the court. Liu Zhen with the assistance of Xun Yu and Jia Xu, the government affairs were handled in an orderly manner, Liu Ze saw that the government was running smoothly, and his heart was very happy.

Along the way, Cheng Yu, Lu Su, and Xu Shu were all transferred back to the capital to hold important positions, and the Military Aircraft Department brought together celebrities at that time. Liu Ze looked at these elites in front of him and said: "Now the territory opened up by the Han Dynasty is vast and boundless, and the people in the country have been influenced by Confucianism for a long time, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and there is no repetition; Sanhan, Buyeo, Xianbei, Wadao and other places have been recovered for a long time, schools have been set up extensively, and people's hearts have been cohesive; Linyi, Funan, Shanguo, Tianzhu, Guishan, Persia, Luzon, and even Kangju and Dawan have mixed personnel and different beliefs. You are my great ministers, how to unite people's hearts and use them for me is a top priority. ”

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, as far as the old minister knows, Tianzhu is the place where Buddhism originated, and most of its people believe in Buddhism; Guishan, Kangju, Dawan, the Western Regions have many impacts, and there are many congregations; The Persians were Zoroastrian, and the Romans were Catholic. Speaking of which, it is really complicated enough, and if we unify our beliefs, it will be of great benefit to the governance of the country. ”

Liu Ze said: "It is so, during the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, to our dynasty respected Confucianism, Lao Huangzhi said has also won the hearts of the people, Buddhism since the Ming Emperor into our country, now the three religions in the country are established, in the road of governance, rarely helpful." ”

Xun Yu Zheng'er Eight Classics is a descendant of Confucianism, the Xun family has always been a poetry and book heirloom, for other miscellaneous families, has always been more repulsive, Xun Yu said: "Since Dong Zhongshu proposed to depose the hundred schools, Emperor Wu accepted it, Confucianism is of great benefit to governing the country and the people, why doesn't the emperor take Confucianism alone and teach it all over the world?" ”

Liu Ze said: "Confucianism makes people self-contained, unenterprising, and its theory of monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, does not conform to the current general trend. If you want to enrich the people and strengthen the country, you must help the study of the economy; If you want to expand your territory, you can't let it go if you are not a soldier; Legalism focuses on binding the world with the law, which is actually the way to govern the country. I govern the country by the Han Dynasty, with Legalism as the backbone, Confucianism as the surface and inside, and interpretation and Taoism complement each other. What we are discussing now is how to unite people's hearts and use them for our own use. The Han Dynasty's art of governing the country will not be changed at all. ”

Cheng Yu is strictly a miscellaneous person, and then he said: "Since the emperor proposed to unite people's hearts, the doctrine is really the only way. I think that Zhang Lu practiced the Five Dou Rice Sect in Hanzhong, the people's hearts gathered, and the road was not left behind, but it is a pity that Zhang Lu's ambitions were inflated, politics and religion were integrated, and he tried in vain to cut the land and stand on his own, so he was broken by my heavenly soldiers. Wudou Rice Sect, in terms of demagogy, there is still a set. ”

Lu Su said: "Zhang Lu's actions, compared with Zhang Jiao, there is a world of difference, Zhang Jiao has been on the Taiping Road for more than ten years, bewitching millions of people, and the yellow scarf is together, and the foundation of the Han Dynasty is shaking. Your Majesty, for the sake of long-term peace and stability, you must not let this way spread. ”

Liu Ze said: "The people live a prosperous life, live and work in peace and contentment, and have faith in their hearts, so they can seek joy and peace in their hearts, eliminate anger, and contribute to social stability." On the way back to the capital, I have ordered the senior monks of the White Horse Temple and Zhang Lu of Longhu Mountain to enter Beijing together, and they must be about to arrive. ”

Xu Shu said: "What does the emperor mean is to let Taoism and Buddhism fight and choose from them?" ”

Liu Ze waved his hand and said: "The sects in the world are all founded by people, and the successors of each sect are then passed on and carried forward. In my opinion, if we mix the various schools and factions of our Han Dynasty, choose their essence and remove their dross, can it become a new doctrine? ”

Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Lu Su, and Xu Shu applauded together, Lu Su was quick and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's good to choose its essence and remove its dross." The doctrines of all schools and sects in the world have their own shortcomings, and if they can be combined to form their own doctrines, they will be much more perfect. As soon as the new doctrine comes out, it spreads to the whole world, which is really of great benefit to our Han Dynasty to consolidate the state foundation. ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Yes, the new doctrine comes from the Han Dynasty, of course, it is to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the Han Dynasty." Nowadays, there are candidates for both the Buddha and the Taoist, so can there be suitable candidates for Confucianism, Legalism, Bingjia, Mojia, Famous Family, Miscellaneous Family, Yin and Yang Family, and Zongheng Family? ”

Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, Confucianism arrogant Confucianism Ma Rong opened accounts to teach apprentices, famous scholars, Taiwei Yang Biao, Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu, Wang Cang, Guan Ning, Hua Xin, Bing Yuan, Cui Yan, etc., are not contemporary Confucians. The soldiers chose me to see Wenhe and Zhongde, and everyone is one of them, and only Mr. Huang is still the heir of the Mo family, as for the Legalist, the famous family, the vertical and horizontal family, etc., it is a pity that they do not see their heirs. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "The theory of a hundred schools, how can it be drowned, as long as the emperor is conscripted, it will inevitably come surgingly." ”

Liu Ze said: "In this case, I issued an edict to the whole country and recruited hundreds of heirs. Where is Liu Zhen? ”

Liu Zhen sat in front of Liu Ze, and hurriedly said, "Father, the child is here." ”

Liu Ze said: "You will take the lead, Zhongde, Zijing, and Yuanzhi will help you, entangled the elites of all factions across the country, read the classics, founded Protestantism, and served my Han Dynasty." ”

Liu Zhen replied loudly: "Yes, the child is ordered." ”

Xun Yu said: "Your Majesty, the teachings of various schools and factions are as vast as a sea of smoke, and the minister suggested collecting books from all over the world for reference. ”

Liu Ze said: "Yes, the prosperous era repairs the book, and the world is also a grand event." Immediately acquire hundreds of acres of land in the northeast of the capital, build a library pavilion, collect books, and provide reference for all families and factions. ”

Everyone bowed down together and agreed, Liu Ze said: "This matter is not too late or sooner, once the new doctrine is agreed, it will be implemented immediately, but if there are mistakes, revise them at any time, don't miss a major event." ”

Liu Zhen had to make a statement, and said immediately: "Erchen must be conscientious and conscientious, and complete it as soon as possible." ”
