Thinking that when Wei Ce captured Kong Chang, Kong Chang said viciously: "In the next life, I will turn into a thief, so that I can disturb the world of the Ru family!" When Wei Ce heard the word "afterlife", he suddenly remembered Buddha Tucheng.

Because according to Chinese tradition, there is no such thing as reincarnation, and when encountering a similar situation, the most ruthless thing to say is "how can I turn into a ghost?" The concept of reincarnation, originally from the ancient Brahmanism of India, was later absorbed by Buddhism, and after Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth, Taoism was also copied in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and finally became a superstitious idea that almost all people believed—or at least known—.

Wei Ce had also been in contact with Buddhism before, and when he was in Luoyang, he was instigated to listen to the sermon of the corpse Li Midoro, and although he was not very interested in the theory of reincarnation, at least he had this concept. Therefore, after listening to Kong Chang's words, he suddenly remembered that Buddha Tucheng was coming, and said that the old thief was not in the siege of Xiangguo that day, and he didn't know where he had fled to? After all, he was a national teacher of Zhao, and if I can capture it, it will be a great achievement.

After a few months, he finally caught Buddha Tucheng in Guangzong, and his disciples Dao'an and Zhu Faya, etc., were pushed into the carriage and escorted to Luoyang. Before the threshold arrived, it was played in advance to the imperial court, which caused a fierce debate.

Because there is a White Horse Temple in Luoyang, this year can be regarded as the base camp of Buddhism in Middle Earth, so the proportion of scholars in Luoyang City who believe in Buddhism is hidden as the crown of the world. Their reasons are not much different from what Wang Xizhi said, Fo Tucheng is a monk, and he does not have his own land and arms like Fan Changsheng in Shuzhong, so how much effect can he have on the political affairs of Qian Zhao? You should not receive the death penalty.

Furthermore, it is rumored that Buddha Tucheng was in Xiangguo in the past, and he also persuaded Shi Le, Shi Hu and others to kill less many times, so it can be said that his merits in China outweigh his faults.

Although Pei Wei and the others did not believe in Buddhism, they also felt that it was unnecessary to kill a monk, so as not to show the benevolence and virtue of the new dynasty, so it was recommended to expel him from the Central Plains and rush back to his hometown in the Western Regions.

Pei should not be noncommittal, but said: "Let's take it first, wait for me to see you, and then it's not too late to set the punishment." ”

When Pei Wei and the others heard this, they were a little panicked, and they all admonished him, saying that His Majesty did not need to see this Western monk. Xiong Yuan said more clearly in the prelude, the West came to explain the teachings, and the good can bewitch the foolish man and the foolish woman, although it is not a big trouble for the time being, but it should also be prevented from the slightest - "Liu Ying, the king of Chu in the past, is relieved and reversed, and the Han Dynasty has a Buddha bath and chaos in Xuzhou, Your Majesty should be cited as a reference." ”

Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, the root cause is that people can't see the future clearly in the troubled times, so they look for spiritual sustenance; And since the Central Plains has been decided, unless the ministers of the Chinese Dynasty have been influenced by it in the past, most of them will not believe in religion until they are dying and afraid of imminent death—because the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism are in conflict with Confucianism in many aspects. Therefore, Pei Wei, Xiong Yuan and others think that Buddhism is not a good thing, and it is just a foolish folk belief, if the Son of Heaven is also bewitched, and he is increasingly far away from Confucianism and worships Buddhism, then how can it be good?

Although judging from Pei Cai's previous performance, not only did he not believe in Buddhism, but he also did not believe in Taoism, and he only admired the words of sages, but after all, he started in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou has always belonged to the "hardest hit area" of Buddhism - the root cause of which is the matter of "bathing the Buddha in the Buddha" that Xiong Yuan said - how can it be completely unaffected?

Di Rong was a powerful man in the late Han Dynasty, and was appointed as the minister of Xiapi by Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taokan, and was responsible for transporting grain from Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng counties to Zhitan County. But who would have thought that Zhenrong would withhold the materials of the three counties and build temples in Xiapi, causing Buddhists from all over the world to gather in Xiapi, reaching as many as 5,000 households. And every year on the eighth day of the fourth month of the Buddha's birthday, the prime minister of the country will also hold a "bathing Buddha meeting", set up meals (that year and month did not talk about fasting) on the road, costing hundreds of millions of money, and there are more than 10,000 people who come to eat and watch.

Tao Kan did not repair the criminal administration in Xufang, so Cao Cao made a big tart (at least he gave Cao Cao a suitable excuse), and the army was defeated, so he could only hope for Liu Bei, an outsider, and he could not help but say that there was also the "credit" of Zhenrong, so Xiong Yuan said that Zhenrong "bathed in Buddha and messed up Xuzhou".

After Pei Wei Nantou, he stayed in Xuzhou for a period of time, and Xiong Xiaowen was once the minister of Pengcheng, so he was very clear about the relatively strong atmosphere of interpretation among the people of Xufang. So the Son of Heaven has been based in Xuzhou for a long time, taking it as a base for the Central Plains, if he has never been influenced by Buddhism, it is unlikely that - if not, how did the words "tongue lotus" blurt out in Hanoi in the past?

Shi Le was therefore suspicious of Pei Gai's belief in Buddhism, and sent Zhu Faya to persuade the army to retreat, at that time Pei Gai did listen to the monk talk a lot of teachings, looking at his performance, it seems that he did not think so, but if he said that the left ear enters, the right ear goes out, and he can't even listen to a word, and he definitely doesn't consider it, and it may not be too wishful thinking.

Therefore, the ministers repeatedly advised, saying that you should give the order directly, whether to kill or expel us, we have no objection, that is, it is better not to see the old monk.

Pei Gai smiled at this and said: "Qing Yan can bewitch fools and fools with the good of teaching, but I am a fool? When he opened his mouth, even if Yushi stood up to impeach Xiong Yuan for committing the crime of great disrespect, he asked to be punished in prison. Pei Cai couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart that since I am the Son of Heaven, my words and deeds will have a great impact, how can I not be cautious...... The original song dismissed, but Xiong Xiaowen was not blamed.

After the Buddha Tucheng master and apprentice entered Luoyang City, Pei Wei asked to meet the Son of Heaven again, and prepared to say that the foolish people in the city set up incense cases to greet them, saying: "It can be seen that the Buddha is demagogic and hurts the country's government. ”

Pei Cai does not believe in any religion, but compared with the local Taoism, he has a better impression of Buddhism, because the monks of the Western Regions came to preach in the east, and not only brought Buddhist teachings and superstitious thoughts, but also brought the customs and culture of the Western Regions and even India, which played a certain role in promoting the development of Chinese civilization - at least a lot of missing content in traditional Chinese philosophical thought must be made up by Indian philosophy.

Therefore, he did not intend to strictly prohibit Buddhism - it is estimated that he could not help it, spiritual opium is always in demand for people who are suffering, and besides, if the Buddhism is not good, it will make the Taoist family sit big, but it will be unfavorable to the rule - he insists on seeing the Buddha Tucheng. Pei Wei couldn't think about it, so he could only ask, Your Majesty, don't have a private opinion, let me wait for the waiter to sit down? If the old monk wants to "tongue the lotus" and bewitch the Son of Heaven, we can refute it on the spot.

But he thought about it left, Pei should only pay attention to the person of Buddha Tucheng, and he was not interested in the teachings of Buddhism - and theoretically speaking, he knew more than Pei Wei and others and even the scholars who believed in Buddhism in Luoyang City today - so after seeing Buddha Tucheng, he also asked how you got along with Shi in the first place, and reprimanded him for being attached to Karma.

Buddha Tu is indeed able to speak well, and learned a standard Chinese, immediately talked eloquently, portrayed himself as a white lotus, and said that I served the Shi family, specifically to persuade them to kill less, and to appease the people.

In the end, Pei Gai decided to confine the Buddha Tucheng master and apprentice in the White Horse Temple, concentrate on translating Buddhist scriptures, and were not allowed to interact with outsiders.

Fotu Cheng can speak Chinese, and several of his disciples are all scholars and can translate and write scriptures, which is exactly what he is good at, promoting the integration of Western Regions, Indian culture and Chinese culture. But since the tongue is then given, you should not go on a mission, lest you really deceive people's hearts and cultivate too many believers as Pei Wei said.

As for the corpse of the silk, Rinmidoro, he was not guilty, and it was not convenient to punish him, nor was it easy to expel him. Fortunately, that guy has never learned Chinese, and if he has to preach through translation, he probably won't be able to pass on the ugly character - whatever he wants.

——In the original history, it was the silk corpse pear Mitara in the south, and the Buddha Tucheng in the north, each preaching doctrine, relatively speaking, the Southern Buddhism of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties was more important than metaphysics, and the northern Buddhism was more important to religious activities, which was also related to the ability and character of these two monks.

——————————

At this time, in Jiankang City, there were ministers one after another, imploring Sima Rui to practice the position of the Son of Heaven, and even fabricated the news that Sima Ye had been murdered by the Chinese. So since the Son of Heaven is gone, the world of Jin cannot be left without an owner, how can you not inherit the cause of your ancestors and ascend the throne as the emperor? You see, just because Dan is called the king of Jin and refuses to practice Zuo, we can't get along with Ba Yi, which leads to Liu Kun and other loyal ministers finally falling into the arms of the Chinese......

Immediately, under the repeated instigation of Wang Dao and others, Sima Rui mourned Sima Ye in Jiankang City, and was called "Emperor of Filial Piety", and built a mound outside the city.

It's just that Sima Rui still insisted on refusing to be the emperor, and he even ran to cry to Concubine Pei of Wuxing, saying: "Maohong and others want to be lonely on the fire, and they have no heart to transgress, and my uncle and mother are ......."

Pei comforted him and said, "Why should the king be like this? The ministers played, there is also a reason, if the Yangtze River can be guarded, why not follow it? ”

Sima Rui smiled bitterly and asked, "Can the Yangtze River be guarded?" ”

He was like a mirror in his heart, and no one in the Jiangnan ministers headed by Wang Dao and Wang Dun really reinstated Jin Zuo, but they just wanted to seek greater wealth by arching themselves to the throne. In fact, who doesn't want to be the emperor, if he can really rule the river with the Hua Dynasty, Sima Rui doesn't care about being a puppet son of heaven - anyway, he is also a puppet prince now. But the question is, can the Yangtze River really be able to hold on to its natural risks? If I only call the king, and surrender in time when the future is urgent, I can still hope to protect the head, if I really call the emperor, most of the time there will be only a dead end!

Don't look at Liu Chan and Sun Hao who can get a good death after surrendering, because they inherited the inheritance of their predecessors, not their own arrogance; As for himself, once he ascends the throne, he may only be able to compare it to Gongsun Shu between the two Han Dynasty...... Besides, Hu Han killed Sima Chi and made a bad start, God knows if Pei Wenyue will follow suit?

If you want to treat the emperor of the previous dynasty preferentially, it is enough to have a Sima Ye, and maybe the rumors are true, Sima Ye has really been killed by him......

The key is that now the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, seventy percent are controlled by Wang Dun, and they are in the middle reaches, and thirty percent are armed by local wealthy families such as Wuxing Zhou, and the garrison in Jiankang City is less than 4,000 people. Director Wang has tried many times to build a capable Wang family guard, but he is always constrained or even hindered by Wang Dun - Wang Dun's intention, Jiankang has no soldiers, I have it in my hand, do you want to send some over? Maohiro, you don't know much about military affairs, why do you have to recruit troops yourself?

So once the Chinese contain Wang Dun's soldiers and horses, and send an army to cross the river from the stones, Jiankang City will almost be undefended!

What's even worse is that the bureaucrats in Jiankang City, big and small, are currently focused on persuasion, and few people are really worried about the Chinese invasion and are committed to the construction of river defense.

Therefore, Sima Rui resolutely refused to be the emperor, and deliberately came to complain to Pei's family, which means - even if one day I really can't bear it and is forced to go further into the abyss, you are not only my parent, but also Pei Wenyue's aunt, you must help me intercede with Pei in the future, this is not what I want, I was forced......

In fact, Sima Rui underestimated Wang Dao, Wang Maohong really has the ambition to protect Jin Zuo and guard Jiangnan, and the reason why Sima Rui is called emperor is also to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jiangnan and win over and appease the natives. Although he often feasted in the palace, his main purpose was not to enjoy himself—not to exclude that others were indeed drunk and dying—but to facilitate the discussion of state affairs with his peers.

After all, his identity is there, and now he is a hussar general and a regular attendant of the cavalry, a stabbing history in Yangzhou, and a governor of the Jin Dynasty, who is the bull's ear of Jiang Zuo's ministers, and is also the first powerful figure in Jiankang. So, according to the tradition of the Chinese, if there is anything we can say with the banquet, or at least when I invite you to drink tea after eating, take the opportunity to say.

On this day, Director Wang had another banquet, and the guests were all Jiangdong Junyan, including He Xun, He Yanxian, Zhou Yi, Zhou Boren, Xue Jian Xue Lingchang, Ji Zhan, Ji Siyuan, Lu Ye, Lu Shiguang, Dai Miao, Dai Wangzhi, as well as Wang Bin, Wang Shiru, Wang Di, Wang Chuzhong and other brothers of the same clan - the excuse is to wash the dust for the Huiji Taishou Zhuge Hui Zhuge Daoming.

These people are either indigenous Masters or old people who have migrated south, and their families are prominent and prestigious, so it is convenient to gather in one place; As for the recent comeback, the Yu brothers who have been in charge of the government, in terms of their background, have never been regarded by Lu, Dai and others - and except for Wang Dao, it seems that no one really likes Yu Liang's thorny head - Wang Maohong has to set up a banquet to talk, and the Yu family can't squeeze in on this occasion.

So after three rounds of wine, the five flavors of the dishes, and the atmosphere on the table gradually warmed up, Wang Bin took the opportunity to point out the topic: "We have repeatedly pleaded, but the king has always refused to take the throne, you think, how is it good?" ”

Dai Miao said unceremoniously: "Is the king unintentional? I don't dare. Then he looked at Wang Dao and said word by word: "Jiankang has no outer Guo, and the inner city is also low; The stone was originally a dangerous fortress on the river, but the garrison was less than a thousand people; Once the Chinese invaders, how many days will it take for Brother Ling to come back to help? At this time, how dare the king be called an honorific title?! ”
