Chapter 39: Controversy in the Temple
"He is the Fan Zhen who blasphemed the True Buddha?"
"He has a good face, but he is a person who does not seek the right way, and he does not destroy the former saint all day long. . . ."
There was a lot of discussion in the hall in an instant, but I didn't expect this to be Fan Jin, who was named Zhenjiang in the past, and I didn't expect that the Southern Dynasty would let him go to Pingcheng as an envoy.
Pei Zhaoming looked at many people in the hall pointing at Fan Jin, commenting on them, some of them nodded with their beards, some with angry faces, and some watched coldly, as if Fan Jin, a stranger who had just come to Pingcheng, was quite famous here.
"Fan Jun has been in Jiangzuo for a long time, and he has never been to Pingcheng, you all seem to have heard of it?" Pei Zhaoming wondered
As soon as Pei Zhaoming's words fell, he heard a loud and angry word from behind him: "I have been in the north for a long time, and I heard that the land of Wenchang in the south of the Yangtze River has not expected that there are such people who have turned their backs on the Holy Dao!" ”
Tuoba looked cautiously at the sound, and it turned out to be Taixing, the king of the Xihe clan who said this. King Xihe is from the Jingmu lineage, has always been famous for his devout belief in the Buddha, often in Pingcheng soup porridge and fast, many times to the monasteries to give slaves, property, known as the first Buddha of the clan. I heard that he was angry after reading Fan Wei's "Theory of Divine Annihilation" at that time, and he had not eaten for a day, but today he saw Allah, how could he bear it, no, it broke out.
Fan Jin, who was pointed at by many people around him, heard the angry rebuke of the King of Xihe, and saw that the people around him were looking at him, waiting for him to speak, so he stood up, turned to the King of Xihe, and said: "Who is Your Excellency, why did you make such evil words when you first saw Your Excellency?" ”
"This is in front of His Royal Highness the King of the Great Wei Xihe." Tuoba Yanming, the king of Anfeng, who was sitting in the back, replied that he was out of the Wencheng department, did not serve in the imperial court, and did not believe in Buddhism
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Xihe, Fan Zhen is reasonable, if His Royal Highness has any advice, he will answer in person."
Seeing that Fan Zhen had no remorse, the King of Xihe pretended to be confused, and said angrily: "There is no King of Xihe in this Taihe Hall today, only the Buddha's disciple Tuoba Taixing, since Fan Jun dares to write foul words blaspheming the saint, he will have something to see, and today I will discuss Buddhism with you." ”
"If Your Highness wants to worship the Buddha, you can go to many monasteries. If you want to argue the vanity of the Buddha, you are willing to accompany you. ”
"Since you have never been respectful to the Buddha, you don't know the true meaning. How dare you speak out and criticize "reincarnation" and "retribution"? ”
"The weirdness of reincarnation is spread in Xiyi. Unheard of by Confucius and Mencius. Why should he spend decades of poverty and ignore the true righteousness of China and read the sophistication of the desolate Xiyi? ”
"You... Okay, let me ask you, since you said that people die and God is destroyed, and there is no ancestor Wangzong, is it true that the world worships at four o'clock, and the country of Zhen has it, is it all vain, the world does not dare to be in short supply, and you alone say that God is destroyed, and the Fan family should have no blood to eat. ”
"The worship of the world is entrusted with the love of private feelings, and the thoughts of the gods, although there is no real view, but never less, this affection is not the belief in the reincarnation of gods and ghosts."
"Since there is no reincarnation, why is it that life in the world is endless, and it is passed on for thousands of years?"
"The truth passed down from generation to generation in the world is not known, if Your Highness wants to say that it is caused by reincarnation, then you also have a word, who in the world can directly say about the reincarnation of the previous life?"
"In the middle of winter, many dead trees have died, and the seeds left over in the coming spring have revived, isn't this the fruit of reincarnation?"
"Your Highness is wrong in what you say! Now that the tree has died, the remnants of the seeds, although they can regenerate, are no longer the trees they used to be. The predecessors have explained that the candle flame shines, the candle is extinguished, and even if His Highness lights another candle, it is no longer the light of this candle. The reincarnation of life and death, no one has said this since Xia Shang, and the Buddhists have preached this, which is really out of nothing, and it is not enough to be trusted. ”
Tuoba Taixing was speechless for a while, and said angrily: "Since the Han Dynasty, Shamen has flourished, and in recent times, believers do not know how many, and they all regard it as the truth and reason, and take Shakya as a saint. Is it that the people of the world are ignorant of etiquette and religion? Duer Fan Zhen can break through the obstacles, but he can't see great virtue? ”
"Buddhism is not owned by China, it has been passed down from ancient times to the present, but it has been hundreds of years, how can it be said to be a religion of rituals. The monks and nuns abandoned their families and careers, betrayed their ancestors and forgot their ancestors, thinking that they had forgotten the world, and abandoning their wives as if they were cheating, such absurd and treacherous, how to say that it was etiquette. And in ancient China, there were Shang Han in law, Lao Zhuang in Taoism, and Confucius and Mencius in Confucianism. I haven't heard of Shakya. ”
。。。。。。。。
"Wonderful! Fan Yuanjun said this is very good! There is no floating Buddha in ancient China, why are the people of the world deceived so far and do not know the right way? ”
Tuoba Taixing was about to get angry and ask the emperor to drive Fan Zhen out in the name of betraying the salute, when he heard someone dare to praise Fan Jin's words, looked up at the person who spoke, and wanted to reprimand him. After seeing who it was, he changed his words when the words came to his lips: "Nephew Guangchuan, what do you mean by this?" For Uncle and Fan Jin, what does it have to do with you? How to not know how to be humble and talk too much. ”
Tuoba Shen looked at the past, it turned out that the interjection was the Guangchuan King Tuoba Harmony of the Wencheng Department, Tuoba Harmonic's father and the first emperor are in the same vein, according to the bloodline, the relationship with Tuoba Shen is closer than Tuoba Taixing, Tuoba Taixing worships Buddha, he worships Taoism, has lived at home all these years, has nothing to do, but often interacts with the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master Taoist Altar, I heard that there are often bait of medicine, as for the results, of course, it is nothing.
Tuoba Taixing obviously wanted to suppress Tuoba Harmony with his seniority, and asked him to respect his elders and retreat in the face of difficulties, which may not be so easy in Tuoba Shen's opinion. Speaking of the relationship between the Jing Mu Department and the Emperor was originally farther than the Wencheng Department, but the Wen Cheng Department has been idle at home all these years, but the Jing Mu Department is thriving, although they dare not criticize the Queen Mother's reuse of the Jing Mu Department, but they can stab the nerves of the Jing Mu Department from time to time. Anyway, they have been suppressed for so many years, and occasionally get angry, and the emperor won't do anything to them.
Tuoba Shen saw that King Guangchuan and King Xihe below were arguing about "only academics, regardless of seniority", and it seemed that he had to delay for a while, so he didn't bother to look at them again. Turning his head to look at the emperor who had been silent in the palace. The emperor did not look down at this time, and looked at the palace steps with his head slightly lowered. is still obsessed with what just happened, this thing really doesn't blame the emperor, it was originally a kind word, even if the courtiers were unhappy after hearing too much, they just advised in private, how could they confront the emperor in front of so many people, especially the envoys of the Southern Dynasty.
Tuoba Shen looked at the silent emperor, and couldn't help but admire it very much, this kind of thing can be endured without attacking, it is very rare, even the fourth master who is quite practiced in later film and television dramas is not as good as the emperor at this moment.
The fire that was just lit just wanted to shift the attention of everyone in the hall to Fan Jin, but I didn't expect Tuoba Taixing to put the fire bigger and bigger, and the opportunity was rare, so he hurriedly invited the emperor who was now in an embarrassing situation out, otherwise he wouldn't know how to end it later.
Looking back at the people below all paid attention to Tuoba Taixing and the others, few people stared at the emperor, Tuoba Shen hurriedly walked behind Tuoba Shen with a slight bend and walked up from the steps on the left.
"Your Majesty," Tuoba said, tuoba shen tugging at the emperor's sleeve
The emperor looked at it, his eyes were a little depressed, and he said, "What's the matter?"
"The palace is too noisy, and my son feels uncomfortable in his chest, so I beg His Majesty the Emperor to send my son to the side hall."
When the emperor heard this, he looked at the sleeve that was pulled by Tuoba Shen, and he was not worried about the second son first, but felt a little strange, Erlang has had an opinion since he was a child, and he has never been so close to him, let alone pulled his sleeve, saying such childish words. Thinking of Erlang, he has the idea of becoming an adult. I had a flash of inspiration and understood. Erlang is here to find an excuse for him to leave here first, and relieve the stuffiness in his chest.
Thinking of this, his eyes were much gentler, and he looked at Tuoba Shen's eyes that were obviously very different from the past, and said, "Okay! Good! For the Father's sake, I will send you to the side temple. ”
Looking at the two kings who were still arguing below, if it was the past, he would have suppressed these two people a long time ago, but the time was not right today, so he had to turn a blind eye to the two people's impolite behavior.
The emperor got up, took Tuoba Shen's hand, walked down the steps, and after arriving at the gauze curtain brocade tent, he greeted Zhang Mao, his face was a little gloomy, but his voice was still calm and said: "Zhang Qing, you go and tell the king of Xianyang, today's banquet will be presided over by him on my behalf, the second prince is sick, I will take the second prince to the side hall first." ”
Zhang Mao understood that the emperor didn't want to stay here now, so he had to breathe a sigh of relief first. He himself hated the guy who dared to offend the emperor. I can't wait to go down and do it myself. immediately accepted the order and went to the king of Xianyang.
