Chapter 711: Xuanzang

Liang Shuo was not familiar with the situation of the officials, and this matter was handed over to Liu Linfu, the servant of the ministry. Originally, the imperial court election began in November and ended in the spring of the following year, and a large number of officials spent the New Year in Chang'an. Liu Linfu now adopts the four seasons of on-the-spot selection, and notes on official positions at any time, and when he saw the request for the mutual transfer of officials, he drew up a plan.

Liang Shuo could only sigh in the political affairs hall, Du Yan's long-term caution is not unreasonable, Liu Linfu values the so-called quantity is the move, in this way, people from poor families and the army are incapable in many aspects; It's just that it's not obvious in the schedule at any time on weekdays, but it can't be avoided in front of plans and statistics.

Cui Chuzhi read the plan and said: "It's not proper, the county magistrate Baili Hou, it stands to reason that being a magistrate is better than being a small Beijing official in Chang'an, but the plan of the ministry will make people look at remote places such as the northwest, southwest, and Lingnan as a daunting path." Not to mention the difficulty of working in the local area, and being far from the center, it is difficult to be promoted; So there must be intermodulation, you can't leave people there just because the person can sink down there, some people are opportunistic, but they have a smooth journey. ”

Cui Chuzhi still has some skills, but the bigwigs in the political hall have understood, Liu Linfu asked many people, the plan involves the avoidance of origin, relatives, positions and imperial examinations, but the premise of the measure of the number of people restricts the mutual transfer of officials. After all, Du Yan has just left the Ministry of Officials, and he has more say than Liang Shuo: "Then it is limited to three terms and nine years, and in nine years, no matter what, the Ministry of Officials will have to make a transfer." ”

Yang Chong asked, "Then when will this transfer start?" ”

Liang Shuo said decisively: "After the New Year, it is mainly officials who have served in one place for more than five years. ”

Huangfu Wuyi echoed and said: "It should start from the top level, and the officials who stay in the department and transfer the first level for more than five years should move first." ”

This list is very limited, that is, Zhang Jin left behind in Luoyang, Xu Shiji left behind in Zhuojun, Yuan Baobao left behind in Taiyuan, and Kou Jiuhui, the Jiangnan transfer envoy, etc., but they are all key positions and key figures.

Yang Chong came out of the political affairs hall, sitting in the carriage and still thinking about the gains and losses of this personnel change, everyone's position is different, so the angle of the same thing is also different. However, Huangfu Wuyi's view is also reasonable, people will change, and Fu Gongyou is the last person to rebel in another time and space.

The carriage stopped in the middle of the city, this is Suzaku Avenue, what is the trouble in the center of the street, Yang Chong can hear the reaction of the guards, but a shout of "Xuanzang" made Yang Chong laugh, according to the time, this monk should have appeared. Yang Chong asked Zhang Liang: "But a young monk?" ”

Zhang Liang came back and said: "There is more than one monk, but the monks of Caotang Temple are surrounded by a monk named Xuanzang, it seems that someone has made a move, and Xuanzang has suffered a little loss." ”

Yang Chong chuckled: "Bring everyone back, I'll ask." ”

Zhang Liang didn't know why, or escorted a cadre of people back to the Yue Palace, Yang Chong asked a little to make it clear that Xuanzang did not look down on several schools of Buddhism promoted by Caotang Temple, but Xuanzang was the only one among the monks, and on different occasions many times the Caotang Temple could not get off the stage, and several senior monks were humiliated. These monks happened to meet Xuanzang on the street today, and they argued again in a few words, and when it came to the fierce place, some monks couldn't help but move their hands.

Yang Chong reprimanded the monks of Caotang Temple for a few words, then asked them to wait outside, summoned Xuanzang alone, and asked Xuanzang about his experience and today's events; Xuanzang learned Confucian classics such as "The Book of Filial Piety" with his father at an early age, and was rewarded by Zheng Shanguo, the secretary of Dali Temple, at the age of ten, and made an exception to become a monk in Luoyang Pure Land Temple with his second brother Master Chen Su; Later, after the war in Luoyang, Xuanzang and Changjie left Luoyang for Sichuan, and went to Chengdu to listen to Bao Xian talk about "The Theory of Regency", learn from the Daoji, "Abhi Tan Theory", and study "The Theory of Wisdom" at Daozhen. Finally entered Hanchuan, received full ordination in Chengdu, Xuanzang has traveled all over the world, visited famous teachers, and preached the scriptures.

As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Buddhist academic community began to debate whether sentient beings have Buddha nature. Xuanzang studied under the northern and southern schools, and deeply felt that the translation of Buddhist scriptures was wrong, resulting in ambiguity in doctrine, different understandings, and different commentaries, and great differences on some important theoretical issues, which were difficult to integrate. Therefore, after returning to Chang'an, Xuanzang communicated with the Tianzhu monk Bopo, and vowed to travel west to seek the Dharma, preparing to go to Tianzhu Landa Temple to explore the original scriptures and re-translate them, in order to unify the differences in Chinese Buddhist thought.

As a traverser, Yang Chong saw very clearly from a historical perspective that the so-called differences between the north and the south were just differences in concepts, and if you wanted to propagate the doctrines, you had to find ways to conform to the customs in the region, and some changes were necessary. But the benefits of the birthplace are obvious, you can block the mouth of the opposition to the law, go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, Xuanzang selected must also be the content he is interested in, Tianzhu came to Chang'an There are many monks, Bopo can become Xuanzang's best friend, I am afraid the biggest reason is the similarity of beliefs.

Xuanzang's ideas conflicted with Caotang Temple, which was the real reason why Li Shimin did not allow Xuanzang to go west in another time and space; In this regard, Yang Chong and Li Shimin's attitudes are different, Xuanzang is by no means a crazy person like Song Zixian, and he will make an organization similar to Maitreya to disturb the world. Whether differences in Buddhism can be resolved through debate, or if even a young man cannot cope with the high monks of Caotang Temple, appropriate reforms are still needed.

Yang Chong himself advocated Mohistism, and it was impossible for him to advertise himself as "the one who I am good for today, but in the way of Yao and Shun, and the teaching of Zhou Confucius", so he is not very exclusive to Buddhism. What's more, with the long-term smooth passage of the Silk Road, there are now talents who are familiar with the Western Regions in the Great Sui, and there is no need to consider Xuanzang's future use in the region, just like Li Shimin's father and son, he will ask Xuanzang to return to the world in the next three days.

Yang Chong just thought with a little malice, Tang Seng took four apprentices in "Journey to the West", and now Jiangshan is still surnamed Sui, there should be no Tang Seng, but Sui Seng. Yang Chong specially asked Zhang Liang to transfer a white Qinghai horse to Xuanzang as a mount, and asked Caotang Temple to send three warrior monks to accompany him and arrange official documents in the Ministry of Rites. Xuanzang was stunned when he heard this, Yang Chong, the king of Yue, is not a person who believes in Buddhism, so much help is really unexpected, Xuanzang hurriedly thanked: "There is no need for the warrior monk to go with him, the little monk is to study, and there is no need to be extravagant." ”

Yang Chong smiled and said: "I was worried about hurting the Sanskrit line, and I was afraid that I would not fall into the city when I entered the mountain." The world has the law of both, and it lives up to its promise. Xuanzang went from Chang'an to Bashu and went to Heluo, have you ever been emotional? ”
