In a compound in the city, Yu Wenwen, Zhou Faming and others were discussing, and the local allies of the Su I clan, the wealthy clan of the Japanese Kingdom, and Sima Da and others feasted several "fierce" ferrymen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just now in the port, a Baekje ship brought the stone statue of Maitreya Buddha, Sima Da and other people greeted it at the pier, but someone did not allow the Buddha statue to enter the country, which led to a conflict.

The dying Sima Da and others were quite concerned about Zhou Faming, who came from his hometown, and saw that Yu Wenwen, who called himself "Yu Wen", and his subordinates were very capable, and they had the heart to recruit.

However, Yu Wenwen refused, and he did not persuade further.

Now everyone is talking about topics of their own interest, Zhou Faming told Sima Da and others about Jiankang's 'recent situation', while Yu Wenwen asked the ancestor of Japanese Buddhism in later generations about the customs and customs of the Japanese country.

After a preliminary introduction, he probably figured out that he was located in Hakata, an important port in the Wa Kingdom, roughly located in the northwest of Kyushu Island, and that it was the port of departure for the Wa Kingdom envoys to the Central Plains, Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo in this era.

Envoys sent by the Wa Kingdom to various countries boarded a ship at Namba on the island of Honshu and waited for the wind at Hakata Port on the western island of Kyushu, and crossed the sea with a tailwind, reaching Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo in the north, and the Central Plains in the west and southwest.

"Uncle, the ship we are waiting for has been caught in a storm and is now being repaired in Hakata Port, I wonder if I can ask this ... Ahem, ask him for a favor and get some more wood or something. ”

The official who led the troops was from a local wealthy family, and Yu Wenwen couldn't remember the lengthy name when the guests introduced each other, but now that he has met the head snake, he naturally has to take a shortcut.

"Don't worry, Yu Langjun, the old man has already told the garrison the reason, and the wood and manpower will be provided on a priority basis from tomorrow."

"I'm tired."

Yu Wenwen arched his hand towards the ground snake, smiling all over his face.

The ship was repaired quickly, and the day to go home was getting closer, and Yu Wenwen's mood finally improved, so he talked more, and asked why someone would block the entry of the Buddha statue.

Speaking of which, Sima Da and the others were a little helpless, and explained the reasons in detail:

Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, and from the Central Plains to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, and then about 30 years ago, King Seongmyeong of Baekje presented Buddha statues and scriptures to the king of the Wa Kingdom, which can be regarded as the spread of Buddhism at the official level.

And he and many Buddhists have been running around for decades to promote Buddhism, which can be regarded as a non-governmental spread.

The Wa Kingdom originally had its own religious beliefs, and it was the clan god of each tribe, so the nobles who evolved from tribal clans to wealthy clans had different opinions on foreign Buddhism.

God and Buddha, who to choose?

The strong advocate of the introduction of Buddhism is the newly rising wealthy Su I clan, which is a Buddhist sect; And against Buddhism is the first to rise the Hao clan Wubu clan, which is the anti-Buddhism sect.

As for whether or not to promote Buddhism, the king of the Wa Kingdom convened his ministers to discuss, and Soga Inamo, one of the important ministers, advocated accepting it, while the important ministers were opposed.

The opinion of the Oyu of Monobe is that there are one hundred and eight gods (national gods) in the Wa Kingdom, and if you believe in a foreign god (Buddha), it will cause the wrath of the national god to bring disaster.

The king persuaded Soga Inamu to allow one of his properties to be used as a Buddhist temple, and Soga Iname worshiped the Buddha and chanted sutras, but it didn't take long for the plague to break out in various places, and the Monobe clan took the opportunity to tell the emperor that this was "the wrath of the national god", so all the Buddha statues were thrown into the river and the temple was burned.

The imperial court forbade the spread of Buddhism within the territory, but the extrajudicial benevolence allowed the Soga clan to practice it themselves, but not to spread it, and Soga Inamome had been persistent in promoting Buddhism, and later the imperial court relaxed its attitude and allowed the re-establishment of Buddhist temples on a small scale.

The Soga clan of the Buddhist-worshipping sect did not give up their goal, and the Monobe clan of the Buddhist-pai sect did not give up their goal, and the two sides originally had different political views, and they engaged in open and covert battles around religious issues.

Soga Inamome passed away, and his son Soga Mako continued to be obsessed with the introduction of Buddhism as the head of the Soga clan, and after the death of Monobe Oyu, his son Monobe Moriya inherited his father's will and led the Monobe clan to drive Buddhism out of the Wa Kingdom.

The struggle between God and Buddha is now the struggle between the Monobe clan and the Soga clan in the world, and now Buddhism is in the Wa Kingdom, only the Soga clan is allowed to believe in itself, and the Maitreya Buddha statue brought by the Baekje ship this time is to be sent to the family temple of the Soga clan in the capital for placement.

The people who made trouble at the dock before were the people who were arranged by the Monobe clan in Hakata, and every move of the Su I clan, the other party followed them like a shadow, and Sima Da and others led people to welcome the Buddha in Hakata, so the Monobe side also sent people to Hakata to intercept it.

The reason of the Monobe clan is high-sounding: the imperial court has an order not to welcome the Buddha privately!

And the reason for the Su family is also very legitimate: the imperial court allowed the Su family to believe in Buddhism by himself!

Anyway, it is all reasonable and beneficial, as for the extent of "moderation", that is, it depends on the means of each person, and the goal of the wave of people is also very direct: smash the Buddha statue, and it will be a hundred.

"Thanks to Zhou Langjun and Yu Langjun for their help, otherwise the Buddha statue would have been destroyed, and the old man would not know how to return to Beijing to return to the minister."

The "minister" mentioned by Sima Da and others is the position of the current head of the Soga clan, Suga Mazi, and his opponent, the head of the Monobe clan, is "Dalian", which is one of the highest official positions in the Wa Kingdom.

"My father-in-law crossed the country to the east, just like when the Bodhidharma patriarch crossed the river with a reed, and promoted Buddhism for decades, how could the future generations let Xiaoxiao deface the Buddha statue and spoil the hard work of the old man!"

Zhou Faming was indignant when he said this, he was not a devout Buddha, but he was inevitably infected by the atmosphere of worshipping Buddha in Jiangnan.

"Lang Jun... Who is the Bodhidharma Patriarch? Tian Yilong quietly asked Yu Wenwen, he really didn't understand the character allusions that everyone said.

"It's a long story... If you have time to ask Yang Sima for advice..."

Yu Wenwen probably understands some Buddhist allusions, but he doesn't dare to mislead people's children, so he doesn't hesitate to "dump the pot" to Yang Ji, anyway, if he does more than this kind of thing, he doesn't have any psychological burden.

"Old man, I don't know if the status of the Su I clan and the Wubu clan mentioned just now in the imperial court of the Wa Kingdom is similar to the Wang and Xie clans after the southern crossing of the clothes?" Zhou Faming listened to the 'customs' for a long time, and finally asked the idea.

"Exactly, now Su and Ma Zi are the ministers, and the Ministry of Things is the keeper of Dalian, all of them are the humerus of the imperial court, and most of the other important positions are held by their respective cronies." Sima Da and the others said, "The old man has been running around for decades, thanks to the great assistance of the Su family, the minister of Su and I has always been friendly to the people who came to the crossing..."

Seeing that the "headhunter" began to blatantly dig into the corner of the wall again, Yu Wenwen immediately interjected: "Uncle, there is something unknown in the next life, I want to ask..."

"Yu Langjun, please speak."

"Hmm... Later born in Jiangnan... There are quite a few ways to go in Shannan... If the Buddhist scriptures can be transported to the Wa Kingdom, or if there is a high-ranking monk who wants to come to the Wa Kingdom to preach the Dharma, I don't know if the old man is happy or not..."

"Yu Langjun is serious!" Sima Da and the others stood up excitedly, "The old man crossed here when he was young, and he has almost no contact with his homeland for decades, if Lang Jun can bring Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, it is..."

Seeing that this precursor who had entered the precursor of excessive cerebral hemorrhage with excitement, Yu Wenwen hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and persuaded Zhou Faming with kind words, so that the other party's mood could recover a little calm.

"Uncle, Yu... Yu Langjun has a lot of connections in Shannan, and he also has contacts with major ancient temples..."Zhou Faming was obviously damaged by Yuwen Wen, and his face was not red when he lied, "If the old man needs it, I will definitely try my best to transport the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues to the country after I go back." ”

"There are also enlightened monks who propagate the Dharma!" Yu Wenwen emphasized this point again.

"Good, good, good! The old man immediately replied to Minister Su, and asked you not to deceive me! ”

"Then if the ship docks at Hakata at that time, and is driven away by some inexplicable person, this..."

"Yu Langjun! If this matter is decided, there is Minister Su I speaking in the imperial court, and Hakata Port will always open the door to Lang Jun! ”

Sima Da and the others were excited, they could only contact Baekje and Silla in the Wa Kingdom, and if they got the help of the Central Plains, the confidence in the promotion of Buddhism in the Wa Kingdom would be significantly stronger.

'Buy, sell, buy! Yuwen Wen thought so, excited to excited, but in his heart there were other calculations, making money is secondary, don't use the heart is true.

In this year, the Wa State was not even a disease of ringworm scabies for the Central Plains, and the move of the second point was about 80 years later in the Battle of Baekjiangkou, when the Wa State and the Baekje Coalition Army were taught to be a man by the Tang Army in the Baekhekou of the Korean Peninsula.

In that battle, the Japanese army was defeated in an uproar, which frightened the Japanese court, knowing that the boss was strong and could not be provoked, so without saying a word, he knelt down and sang about conquest, and sent a large number of Tang envoys to the Central Plains to learn all kinds of advanced cultural systems.

The second attack of the second disease was the Wanli Korean War at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese army that invaded Korea was taught to be a man by the Ming army in the afterglow of the sunset.

The third time was Jia Wu, I didn't want to say it, and I was in tears when I talked too much.

Since God blew him to the Wa Kingdom by a storm, what should he do, so Yu Wenwen should learn from advanced experience: in history, Buddhism abolished Tibet and Mongolia, so a small scourge is nothing to do to the Wa Kingdom!

He didn't know much about the specific historical trend of the Wa Kingdom in this era, but he only knew that it was about the transition between the Kofun period (Yamato period) and the Asuka period, and he didn't know who the final winner of the various forces in the country was.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the Su I clan and the Monobe clan will sooner or later divide the winner, he doesn't know who has the last laugh, but according to the development of Buddhism in the later generations in the Wa Kingdom, the Su I clan has a great chance of winning.

Su I worship Buddhism, and have a powerful position in the court, if he wins after the victory, he will vigorously promote Buddhism, then the opportunity has come: let everyone in the country have a scripture, and every family worships Buddha!

The whole country is full of temples, encroaching on a large amount of land and fertile land, rare copper is used to make Buddha statues, and every household is frugal to worship the temple, just like the situation faced by the Zhou State in those years: taxes and forced labor have been sharply reduced.

There are even more ruthless, just like when Lamaism was introduced to Mongolia, except for the eldest son, all the men became lamas (monks), and no one became soldiers, and no one engaged in labor.

As a lama (monk), he did not have a family and had children, the population could not come, he could not pay taxes, and the large and small temple forces "desertified" the country.

Of course, we must emphasize the article that "monks cannot marry and have children", after all, in later generations in Japan, it is normal for monks to marry wives and have children, so it is necessary to "correct" this system from the root.

Yu Wenwen only felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy, and he should vigorously support the missionary cause of Sima Da and others within the scope of his spare time, and build the Japanese country into a "Buddhist country on earth".

The large and small temples are too big to fall, and the central court, which is weak and weak, everyone wants to repair the afterlife, so they have no intention of landing on the Korean Peninsula and marching towards the rich Central Plains.

As for making a fortune by the way, this is not the key! (To be continued.) )
