[Second update, ask for red tickets, collect]

Han Gang had heard of Zhiyuan's name and his methods when he went to Beijing.

The three-life monk wishes to come true, the medical monk Zhiyuan, is the two monks who are famous in the Great Xiangguo Temple, always walking among the wealthy officials, and Han Gang, who had just entered Beijing, had no chance to see.

May Cheng be good at fortune-telling, observe the appearance of the human body can judge its three lives to blame, talk about the past of life can be divided without loss, and say that the past life and the future life are true, so people call the three lives of the monk. And Zhiyuan's medical skills are even more magical, it is rumored that he can know the high and low of people as long as he only needs to diagnose the pulse with one hand, and he can even know the blessings and misfortunes of his son according to his father's line, and what he said is as accurate as a god. The officials and nobles in Beijing flocked to it, either inviting two people to the door, or visiting in person.

However, for the legend of Yuan Cheng and Zhiyuan, Han Gang laughed when he heard it. The reincarnation of three lives is ethereal, and it is even more ridiculous to diagnose the father and know the son, he doesn't believe it at all.

However, it is said that Wang Anshi really believed in Zhiyuan's ability, and it is rumored that when he talked about Zhiyuan with the Son of Heaven, he said, "The former Qin doctor and the Marquis of Jin diagnosed the vein, and knew that his good minister was going to die." Fu Liangchen's life is seen in the vein of the Marquis of Jin, so how strange is it to diagnose the father and know the son! ’

But it's just this rumor about Wang Anshi, Han Gang is a little suspicious, first, how can the private chatter between the Son of Heaven and the politicians in the palace come out so easily and be spread by word of mouth in the market? Second, if Wang Anshi really believes in Zhiyuan's ability, when Zhiyuan volunteered to come to Qinzhou, he would not be stingy with a purple coat [Note 1].

It's a pity that when Han Gang saw Zhiyuan, he was still wearing a red robe.

When Han Gang and Wang Hou entered the hall side by side, Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu were talking with a monk in his fifties wearing red robes. Except for wisdom, it will not be by others.

Han Gang and Wang Hou saluted Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu, straightened up and turned to face Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan sat arrogantly, and Wang Hou wanted to make a move. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Han Gang straightening his waist and not moving at all, so he also stopped moving.

Zhiyuan has no official status, and Han Gang will not surrender his identity and salute him first. Although Zhiyuan is an outsider, he does not use vulgar etiquette. But since you want to expand the border for the imperial court and come to the northwest border to pursue fame and merit, don't pretend to be a great monk - of course, the most important thing is that Han Gang doesn't like Buddhism. If he is facing a well-educated Confucian, even if he does not have an official body, Han Gang does not mind being humble. But he can't be respectful and humble to the monks who suck the blood of the people and don't work.

After staring at each other for a short time, Zhiyuan saw that Han Gang did not intend to greet him first, and his face changed slightly. He rubbed for a while, and finally got up and bowed to Han Gang, "Little monk Zhiyuan, I have seen Han Jiyi and Wang Jiyi. ”

Zhiyuan's voice is thick and mellow, like Zen singing. Its voice came out of the dantian, and when he opened his mouth, the mellow voice echoed in his ears. Using this voice to explain the scriptures to others, and talk about the blessings and misfortunes of people, it is no wonder that he can earn such a name.

Han Gang responded with his hand, "The name of the master and good doctor, Han Gang has heard it for a long time, and it is like thunder. Su Mu respects his face, but he is stingy. I can see it today, and I will finally fulfill my life's wish. Han Gang is old and sophisticated, this compliment is extremely smooth, Wang Hou followed Han Gang and said, each laughed twice, and sat down to talk again.

Although it was a little unpleasant as soon as they met, Han Gang did not deny the charm of Zhiyuan. This monk has a good appearance, a wide face and big ears, and even a Buddha image. Although the figure is not tall, he sits upright, like a bronze bell, and his body has no trace of bias, and he does not take off the description of a high monk at a glance. And he spoke with the style of Confucianism, and the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were also at his fingertips, discussing the meaning of the Nine Classics, although he did not have Han Gang's profoundness, but he cited the scriptures of Buddhism and Taoism as annotations to the Confucian scriptures, but he did not fall behind at all.

After a few words of gossip, it was time for the meal, Wang Shao sent people to set up a banquet and dinner, and called the big and small officials in the ancient Wei Village, such as Miao Zhu, Zhao Long, and Yang Ying, to accompany the guests, giving Zhiyuan enough face.

Sitting at the table, Zhiyuan pointed to the food and talked about the way of health. With his reputation as a medical monk, Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu were convinced. Later, he even wrote poems on the spot, singing and harmonizing with Wang Shao, a jinshi, and the limelight completely covered Han Gang.

was robbed of the limelight by Zhiyuan, and Han Gang did not feel the slightest bit sad. He originally hoped that Zhiyuan's ability would be as good as possible, so that he could persuade more Tibetan troops for Hehuang's strategy of opening the border. During the Age of Discovery, Christian missionaries were often proficient in astronomy, geography, and medical architecture, and each of them was a generalist—only exceptional talent could convince the missionaries. Make yourself an object of trust, and then you can pour out the teachings. And Zhiyuan's excellence also made Han Gang see the hope of success.

Zhiyuan's talent and learning are indeed outstanding, especially as the study of the three schools, which can make many scholars willing to bow down. However, it is no wonder that today's Confucianism and Confucianism are mutually confirmed by the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, after thousands of years of coexistence and development, have long since lost the clear distinction of the old times. In many cases, Buddhism is more of a folk custom than a sect among the people.

In terms of the world, Buddhism and Taoism that have been integrated into the world are becoming more and more prosperous, and there are countless believers. Even if it is a scholar who worships Confucianism and Buddhism, their families will go to the temple to burn two pillars of incense, such as Han Gang's teacher Zhang Zai and Cheng Yi Cheng Hao, all of whom hate the word Futu, but Han Gang has seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Zai's family and Cheng Hao's wife go to the temple to burn incense.

may be because he drank too much wine, but also because he appreciated Zhiyuan very much, Gao Zunyu suddenly called out for Zhiyuan, "With both virtue and ability as a master, I can't get a purple robe, it's really wronged...... The princes in the political hall are too stingy. ”

Zhiyuan smiled disapprerovitively: "The Son of Heaven and Wang Xianggong originally wanted to be with the poor monks and monks, but the poor monks thought that they had not seen an inch of merit, and they had no talents, so they won the official position with their tongues, but it was difficult to see people after coming to Qinzhou." Therefore, he excused himself to the prince and said, 'I have not seen the merits, but I have received grace, and I am afraid that people will speak.' When you have merit to the court, it is not too late to be with the officials. ’”

Gao Zunyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately praised more enthusiastically, "Regard fame, fortune and official positions as dung, the master is really virtuous!" ”

Zhiyuan proclaimed the Buddha's name, "The jurisdiction has won the award." The poor monk invited himself to Hehuang this time, and he couldn't bear the pain of the people of Han Fan here being burned again. Therefore, I am willing to go deep into the barren, promote Buddhism, persuade the Tibetan people to submit to the imperial court, and share the joy of peace from now on. ”

"What a shared peace! The master's compassion is enough to make the court's mediocre officials ashamed. Wang Shao lightly high-fived and approved, and raised his glass to Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan replaced wine with tea, and after drinking with Wang Shao, he put down the teacup and asked: "The poor monk passed through Qinzhou the day before yesterday, thanks to Guo Taiwei and Yan Taiwei not giving up, and set up a banquet to entertain them. At the banquet, I heard that there was a Xingluo tribe that had been repeatedly disagreeing recently, and its patriarch Beiqiang Xingluo gathered troops to show the foothills of the mountain, intending to rebel. I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

Wang Shao hesitated for a moment and nodded, "There is indeed such a thing." ”

Regarding all kinds of troubles in Beiqiang Xingluojie, Qinzhou has already reported it. It's just that Guo Kui and Yan Da will inform Zhiyuan about this, which makes Wang Shao a little unhappy.

Seeing that Wang Shao did not deny and conceal it, Zhiyuan asked Wang Shao at the table: "The poor monk came here to persuade the Tibetan people to return to the imperial court. Now there is a Xingluo junction that is not in line with the Great Song Dynasty, but it is a coincidence. Tomorrow, the poor monk will go to the foot of the exposed mountain and persuade,"

Wang Shao's face did not change in the slightest, as if it was not he who approved the plan for the raid on the Xingluo Junction a few days ago. "The master has just arrived, and he has not yet understood the inside affairs of the Tibetan Ministry. I also asked the master to stay in Guwei for a few days, first familiarize himself with the geography and people here, and then go to the Tibetan Department not too late. ”

Zhiyuan recited Amitabha Buddha again and said: "Sitting in the ancient Wei village, how can you be familiar with the inside of the Tibetan department." What's more, if it drags on for one day, its unhappiness will prevail for one day, and if it drags on, there may be a big war one after another, and the dead and wounded. ”

"The master is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the people miserable, Han Gang deeply admires it." Han Gang bowed his hand to Zhiyuan and expressed his respect. Turning to Wang Shao, he said, "Pacify, in the opinion of the lower officials, since Master Zhiyuan wants to go, it is better to allow him to go." The Tibetan people worship the Buddha devoutly, and as the master of wisdom, there will be no danger when they walk between the Tibetan tribes. ”

Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu, as well as all the officials who knew the plan that Lu Dao was about to implement, all looked at Han Gang in surprise, which was tantamount to pushing Zhiyuan into the ghost gate.

Wang Shao was about to reject Han Gang's proposal, but Han Gang took the lead and said, "But can you ask the master to go to the Blowing City of the Nazhi Linzhan Department and the Qingtang City of the Qingtang Department first." The great victory of Tuo Shuo and the great victory of Gu Wei had a lot of strength from the two families, and there were also many casualties. If the master can go to the two cities to do a ritual and surpass the souls of the dead, it will be of great goodwill, and it will also make the two parts more obedient to the court. ”

Zhiyuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "The opportunity is fateful, and the poor monk does not dare to refuse." ”

"In the next part, I will thank the master for his kindness." Han Gang got up and saluted Zhiyuan, "The people of Fan are looking forward to Master for a long time. Originally, the most famous monk in the Hehuang area was called Wu Qila, and there were many of his disciples and followers in this place. Later, because he did not abide by the precepts of Buddhism, he instigated Dong Yu to kill and loot in Qingwei, and was beheaded along with Dong Yu in the Battle of Guwei," Han Gang pointed to Wang Shunchen, "This credit is still his." ”

"Amitabha." Zhiyuan bowed his head and folded his head, and said to Wang Sunchen, "Reciting the Buddha and rebelling against the Buddha, being sincere in the mouth but insincere in the heart, Wu Qila will go to hell after his death." Killing this fang, Wang Tan has a lot of yin virtue. ”

Wang Sunsin's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, he did a lot of murder and arson, although he was open-minded, he sometimes worried that he would go to hell after death. But Zhiyuan said that if he kills people, he will save people, which can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue, and let him let go of a big stone in his heart, how can he be unhappy, "Thank you master, more masters." ”

Note 1: Monks in the Song Dynasty who were successful in translating scriptures or promoted to a high-ranking monk could be given a purple robe and robes. Nominally, it is not a high-ranking monk and a great virtue, but in fact, as long as there is a recommendation from the prince, the chief deacon or the local supervisor, he can be awarded purple clothes by the Zhongshu Sect, and purple clothes can be worn.
