Cheng Yue said with a smile: "In addition, the order of transmission of Buddhism mentioned by the Great Khan is not correct, Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was only introduced to Tibet in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info And there is one more thing that the Great Khan does not know. ”

Kublai Khan was stunned: "What's the matter? ”

Cheng Yue said: "In fact, whether it is the so-called Red Sect or the Yellow Sect, it is not authentic Buddhism. It is a monster born after Buddhism was transmitted to Tibet and combined with Tibet's own Bon religion. Tibet has been a wild land since ancient times, and the barbaric and cruel customs of the people must be better known than me. The ignorance and absurdity of the religion born in that kind of place can be imagined. After Buddhism was introduced to Tibet, it was no longer possible to see true compassion and equality for all sentient beings, but instead emphasized the cycle of retribution and cultivation in the next life, which was simply a crooked path. As for the joy of Zen and the art of double cultivation, it is even more smoky nonsense, and its original intention is just to satisfy the selfish desires of the lamas. However, after Buddhism was transmitted to the Central Plains, it was combined with the Confucian tradition and other teachings based on benevolence and virtue, so there was Zen Buddhism that surpassed primitive Buddhism! With all due respect, the reason why Buddhism can be carried forward is all due to the contribution of the Han people! If there were no successive generations of Han monks and scholars, would Buddhism still exist? As for the so-called Tibetan Buddhism that the Great Khan worships as Jinglun, it is the real nondescript! Otherwise, why would it be difficult for Tibet to flourish? For hundreds of years, were they not religious enough? The Mongols occupied Tibet with a large army, and all the lamas in Tibet were subjects of the Great Khan, but now the subjects have ridden on the head of the master, and the things that the ministers have seen in their lives have never seen such absurdity! ”

Cheng Yue made another tirade, and Kublai Khan, Chabi and others were stupid when they heard it! It is true that they do not agree with many of Cheng Yue's statements, but there are many things that they cannot refute, and some of them have never been heard of. For example, Bon, where do they know what it is? I've never heard it mentioned before!

If someone else had said this, Kublai Khan would have repelled him long ago and regarded it as absurd, but when these words came out of Cheng Yue's mouth, he couldn't turn a deaf ear. Cheng Yue never lies on major matters, not to mention such a major matter, if Cheng Yue says something wrong, it will be debunked immediately, so it must be true.

But in this way, is Tibetan Buddhism really inferior to Zen Buddhism of the Han people? For the first time, Kublai Khan's firm faith in the Red Religion was shaken!

Nanbi asked: "King Zhennan, I heard that the Eight Thoughts and Eight Kingdoms Division received the battle letter and wanted to debate the Buddha with the three masters in your house, can you be sure of victory?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "The minister is only willing to contribute to this matter from the side, and it doesn't matter who wins or loses." ”

Nan Bi looked at the expression on Cheng Yue's face seriously, she also knew a little about Cheng Yue, but she really didn't see that Cheng Yue had any desire to win on the matter of debating Buddhism.

Not only Nanbi, but also Kublai Khan, Chabi and others could see that if Cheng Yue wanted to win, no matter his tone, expression, or demeanor, he would become extremely firm, and he looked confident and determined to win. But today Cheng Yue is very peaceful, his face is light and light, as if he has nothing to do with himself. It is only when it comes to Tibetan Buddhism that Cheng Yue reveals a palpable disgust.

Kublai Khan said in a deep voice: "The Eight Thoughts and Eight Kingdoms Teachers are very measured, and after you and Nangjiazhen get married, you will debate the Buddha with the three masters in your house, no matter whether you win or lose, you must remember the favor of the Eight Thoughts and Eight Kingdoms Masters." ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "What the Great Khan said is very true, and the minister remembers it." But it's good for the minister to think about it, he went back to Wusizang, and was personally escorted by the minister, even if this favor is repaid, the minister doesn't owe him anything. ”

Kublai Khan shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, this Cheng Yue always refused to reconcile with Basiba, but fortunately, Basiba was about to return to Wusizang, and it was difficult for the two to conflict again.

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Great Khan, the so-called both listening is clear, partial listening is dark, if the Great Khan wants to enlighten, he might as well listen to the righteousness of other religions, as long as he finds it beneficial, it doesn't matter where he comes from?" ”

When Kublai Khan heard Cheng Yue's words, he suddenly remembered Li Jushou! At present, I want to debate Buddhism with Cheng Yue's three eminent monks, and it is inconvenient for me to summon Buddhist lamas or monks to preach, so why not let Li Jushou explain Taoism a few more times? Perhaps, as Cheng Yue said, there may be another harvest. At that moment, Kublai Khan made a decision in his heart, but he did not say it.

At this time, Cha Bicai asked, "Cheng Yue, do you have anything important to do today?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Did the queen forget?" The queen once instructed the minister to come over to play mahjong with the Great Khan if he was free, and the minister finally had free time today, and immediately pulled Wan Ze to come, and by the way, he had a meal here. ”

Kublai Khan was overjoyed, and laughed and said: "Very good, very good, I am invited for this meal, if you don't have anything urgent to do, I will also take care of dinner!" Haha, I'm worried about no one to accompany me for a few laps these days. Come, come, come, you have a good time with me, I don't stop, you are not allowed to leave! As he spoke, he grabbed Cheng Yue and walked to the small hall that had been arranged a long time ago, and the concubine also happily followed.

The matter of the three eminent monks arguing with the Eight Thoughts and Eight Kingdoms Master also caused a sensation in the capital, and the streets and alleys were discussing this matter, but the whole news was only one sentence. So there were good people who went to the vicinity of the Zhennan Wangfu to inquire about the origin of the three monks. Soon, the three eminent monks came from Japan, two of them were from the Southern Song Dynasty and one was Japanese, and what their Dharma names were, all of them were found out.

There were soldiers from the Japanese army inside and outside the capital, and the transcendent status of the three monks in Japan was immediately spread, and the interest of the people in most of the capital in this competition became even stronger.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, as usual, there is another day off and no court. Cheng Yue once again took Wan Ze to Kublai Khan's Xiangshan Villa to accompany Kublai Khan for the New Year.

This time is different from the past, all the princes and grandsons of Kublai Khan, the concubines and princesses of the rank all came, and the villa was very lively, which was a great reunion of Kublai Khan's family.

Cheng Yue's duties as the supervisor of the palace are on the last day today, and the inside and outside are still arranged by him.

As soon as Cheng Yue arrived at the villa, he moved a chair and sat at the door, and the attendants and palace women who were transferred to serve obeyed the orders and were commanded by Cheng Yue in an orderly manner.

Kublai Khan rarely had the opportunity to see how Cheng Yue used his troops, but from the momentum of Cheng Yue's command of the palace attendants, it could already be seen that he arranged the army, and he couldn't help but admire it again and again in his heart.

The other princes, including the crown prince Zhenjin, were talking to Kublai Khan, or running to play with Wang Zhang. Only Dehuan has been by Cheng Yue's side, acting as Cheng Yue's follower, busy running before and after, but he is never tired of it.
