Chapter 123: When the Buddha is prosperous, he is in decline
Seeing Beigong Chun's expression, Zhang Bin instead persuaded: "General Beigong doesn't need to worry, although Shi Le has the intention to implement it, but the situation is not optimistic, after all, there are still many families in Jizhou, and what the Buddhists advocate is inherently contrary to them." ”
"I want to hear about it!" Beigong Chun was interested at this time, and he didn't care about anything else and asked.
Zhang Bin was not surprised, and looked eloquent: "I don't know what this Buddhist temple looks like in General Beigong's heart?" ”
"Buddhist temple?" Beigong Chun was stunned, and then replied: "This Buddhist temple is naturally a place to worship the Buddha, but it is a place for those monks to recite the Buddha, is there something wrong?" ”
Zhang Bin said with a smile: "When ordinary people look at Buddhist temples, they probably think like this, but the title of 'temple' is not so simple, in fact, it is the name of the official office, if there is no permission from the imperial court and local officials, where can ordinary people use it." ”
Beigong Chun understood as soon as he heard it: "In this way, if this temple wants to be established, it actually has to be convenient for the government." ”
Zhang Bin nodded and said: "Now the Buddhist family is prosperous, but why did many senior monks go to Jiangzuo and be with the family, or go directly to Luoyang to give lectures in a solemn place?" ”
"The Jiangzuo clan, whether in the court or in the locality, has a lot of influence, and many of them are sitting in the court to exercise power, and they are friends, which is naturally convenient," Beigong Chun also knew what he meant, "As for the land of Luoyang, needless to say, as long as it can be famous, the government must also be courteous, and the things that follow will of course come naturally." ”
But even so, since Zhaolie restored the Han Dynasty and Xuanwu Zhongxing, in a few decades, how many Buddhist temples have been there? Ordinary people always talk about which temple is famous, but they never thought that the sum of these famous temples is only a dozen, but since the decline of the authority of the imperial court, temples have sprung up one after another in various places, and the reason for this, General Beigong, must be able to think of it! ”
"I think it is without the constraints of the court and the government, this Buddhist temple can be built at will, so it will pop up one after another." Beigong Chun said, showing a puzzled look again, "However, even if there are more monks, it is not necessarily a bad thing, and these Buddhist classics are also a method for people to seek purity, even if there are more, it is not necessarily a bad thing, right?" ”
"Of course it's a bad thing, and it's a big bad thing!" Zhang Bin said, but his expression became serious, "You can't confuse Buddhist scriptures, Buddhism, and the Buddhist temple, you can know that Nashile in order to replace the summer with the Buddha, the Buddhist temple is particularly favorable, coupled with the promotion of the Ming monks, Nie Daoren and others, in the end, the Buddhist temple not only has a lot of good land, monks and monks, but also can be exempted from servitude, so that a township, three or four out of ten in the prime of life, are all in the temple to avoid mundane things!" ”
"Oh?" Beigong Chun's eyes widened, "This means that they all went to become monks?" Then he immediately realized the problem, "That Jizhou is already because of natural and man-made disasters, although the population is large, but most of them are homeless, and they are scattered in all directions, this limited young and strong, there are still so many people who go to become monks, isn't there even fewer soldiers available?" ”
"That's right, it's the Jizhou Shi clan, in fact, it has been a sign of defeat, people enter the temple, luck is taken by the Buddhism, their roots are basically unstable, like this, if the surrounding are weak, and continue to live one or two, but the land of the tiger and wolf in Youzhou, now the grassland in the north, Pingzhou in the east, and the Huns in the west, and then it will inevitably go south, and Shi's Anke will last forever?"
"No wonder, no wonder you Zhang Bin left without any nostalgia, and went straight to Youzhou, what a good vision!" Beigong Chun couldn't help but admire, although he didn't like Zhang Bin's betrayal at a critical moment, but the other party could see so much from a Buddhist matter, not only glimpsed Shi Le's intentions, but also saw the day of his defeat, and then acted decisively, which is not something ordinary people can do.
"In General Beigong's heart, I'm afraid that he still despises what he has done." Zhang Bin chuckled, then waved his hand, not letting Beigong Chun explain, and said directly: "This is nothing, just as I said at the beginning, with my plan, I will stay, if not, it is useless for me to stay, only to increase the extinction of the clan, what is the so-called?" But then again, with such an accumulation in Youzhou, the general trend is unstoppable, even if that Shile used my strategy, it was only a few years of life, and sooner or later it would be defeated. ”
Beigong Chun said with a smile: "In this way, Zhang Jun actually has the heart to leave a name, otherwise where can't he go?" ”
Zhang Bin didn't hide it, nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Beigong Chun guessed again and said: "Then you came to a certain family, not to ask for advice, but to ask a certain family to say a few words for you in front of Mo Gong, so as to introduce General Chen to you?" ”
Zhang Bin said: "Yes and no." ”
"Then so-and-so is confused."
Zhang Bin said bluntly: "I want to ask, is that Grandpa Mo eager to destroy the three kings?" If this is the case, then I want to ask the general whether this matter is urgent. ”
This was a surprise to Beigong Chun, the old eunuch's mind had never been mentioned in front of outsiders, but this Zhang Bin said it in one bite, but he didn't dare to respond easily, to prevent the other party from hiding any traps and wanting to talk.
Zhang Bin said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to be so careful, I really want to ask for advice, because of Mo Gong's intentions, I'm afraid it will affect the idea of the general of Zhengbei, and if I have the heart to advance, I want to plan it, if I can do what he likes, it is the best, even if I can't, I have to prepare in advance." ”
"You just said it so directly," Beigong Chun thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "I can't answer for Mo Gong." ”
"Then, I hope to make an appointment with Mo Gong," Zhang Bin noticed the other party's expression and said with a smile: "I know that Mo Gong wants to be pure now, I don't want to disturb him here, but to meet him in another place to discuss this matter." ”
"Where?" Beigong Chun was a little curious, he already knew that this Zhang Bin was by no means in vain, this meeting, he should try a temporary meeting, after all, he and the old eunuch had just arrived, unless Zhang Bin could not predict the prophet, how could he deal with it in advance?
But in such a short period of time, Zhang Bin still mastered, or speculated, enough information to come and contact him, so Beigong Chun was really curious, where did the other party want to meet Mo Anjie.
"Outside the city, there is an altar of the heart, which is called the place of dragon sacrifice, and it is said that the emperor's dragon body is now buried there......
