The second fierce out of Chang'an. Qin and Jin peace talks and horse exchange weapons! But on the morning of the 15th, Chen Caozhi, accompanied by Dou Lang, sent two truckloads of newly cast weapons transported thousands of miles to the Diqin Ordnance Division

Compared with the weapons of Di Qin, the batch of spears and halberds brought by Chen Caozhi this time are obviously superior in terms of iron quality and forging technology, and the gap between the advantages and disadvantages of weapons in the exercise and training of short soldiers will be more obvious. After those Qin soldiers used it, they would report the advantages of these weapons to Wang Meng and Fu Jian

In the early afternoon, the eunuch Zhao Quan and the eunuch Meng Feng of Ganlu Palace came to the mansion to invite Chen Caozhi into the palace to give a lecture to the Empress Dowager, and Ran Sheng and Su Zhu followed, but the two could only stop outside the gate of Jianzhang Palace.

The eunuchs Zhao Quan and Meng Feng led Chen Caozhi to the outside of the Ganlu Palace, but saw a hanging boy come forward to greet him, Zhao Cheng and Meng Feng hurriedly greeted each other and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince." Chen Caozhi also gave a long salute.

This boy is Fu Jian's eldest son He Hong, when He Jian ascended the throne, Hong was not yet one year old, that is, he was canonized as the crown prince, now He Hong is seven years old, his appearance and demeanor are very fatherly, and his head is huge, the upper body is long and the lower body is short, although he is young, but his words are calm, please Chen Cao went to the palace, saying that his grandmother and the queen mother have been waiting for a long time.

Ganlu Palace Lanfu Hall! Rammed earth load-bearing exterior wall, the interior is a wooden frame beam frame, the analysis of the sycamore overlap, the building is magnificent, the wall belt is a golden nail, including the blue field bi, the pearl green feather ornament, the five-color tassel, the green text purple ribbon. Honeysuckle collars, banners give brilliance, shine on a temple.

Chen Caozhi followed Qi Hong up to the main hall, and Gong E rolled up the curtain of the life-saving pillar, and the hall suddenly lit up. The Empress Dowager and Queen Qi, who are dressed in full makeup and coveted clothes, plump and dignified like a goddess, sit on the brocade couch. More than ten palace maids stand.

The Empress Dowager is in the center, and the Empress Dowager is slightly to the left. There are two solitary couches in front of the palace, Chen Caozhi and He Hong kneel and sit on the left and right sides respectively after seeing the Empress Dowager and Empress Yu.

The Empress Dowager, who is over forty years old and still has a rich charm, looked at Chen Caozhi with a smile, and was in the Taixue lecture hall yesterday. Because it is far away, I can't really see it, today I am close to ten steps, I see Chen Caozhi's eyebrows are picturesque, his demeanor is handsome, and this beautiful man from the left of the river is really like a pearl in front. Pure and pure, it makes people dazzle

Buff.

Empress Dowager Qian opened her mouth and said, "How young is Envoy Chen?."

As soon as he heard this, Chen Caozhi felt a little uncomfortable being teased, so he had to respectfully reply: "The foreign minister has wasted twenty years this year. ”

The Queen Mother asked: "Have you ever been married?"

Chen Caozhi replied: "There is a daughter of the Lu family, and the foreign minister swears to be with the elder

Empress Dowager Qian had already heard about Chen Caozhi's marriage with the Lu girl of the Sanwu Gate. Now listening to Chen Caozhi's answer, he said: "Chen Envoy is young and handsome, presumably there are many people who love Jia, why don't you marry the daughter of the Lu family, isn't it a young man!" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The marriage of the world is very difficult to explain, and the foreign minister is also an addicted and unconscious person, but the queen wants the foreign minister to talk about the Buddhist scriptures, which is very ashamed." ”

The Empress Dowager remembered that today she invited Chen Caozhi to preach the scriptures, so she said: "Chen envoys don't want to be too humble, the surviving people have listened to the old monks of the Western Regions preach the "Human-Oriented Desire to Live Sutra", write it down word by word, but the meaning of the scriptures is difficult to understand

After that, the Empress Dowager Qi, who was dressed in a snow-white robe, got up and left her seat, curled up to Chen Caozhi's solitary couch, knelt down on her knees, and her hands fell to the ground, and her brown updo almost touched Chen Caozhi's kneeling knees

Chen Caozhi hurriedly left the couch, knelt down and bowed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the Empress Dowager's plump cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were wavering, and her chest was undulating. What a look of lust! It seems that I can still enlighten her with Buddhism, don't indulge in lust, well, educate and persuade a queen mother, and she is also better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter

"The Sutra of Human Desire" is the late Eastern Han Dynasty An Shigao Ze, An Shigao is the son of the rest of the king, after becoming a monk through the Western Regions, and finally came to Guangzhou, is the Theravada Sutra of Ze, compared to the later generations of Kumarosh and Xuan these Ze Sutra masters. The Buddhist scriptures of An Shi Gaoze are quite obscure and difficult to understand, and it is difficult to understand the meaning of the scriptures without the explanation of the great monks. Chen Caozhi once read the "Humanistic Desire to Survive Sutra" annotated by Qi Dao Dao, the master of the Trench Fatai in Waguan Temple. At the moment, I will hold a volume of scriptures and explain it in detail to the Empress Dowager, Empress Qi and the crown prince Qi Hong"

"Those who want to give birth to the scriptures will become the Four Noble Truths according to the twelve causes. This one, stupidity. Desired. Love also. The living, life and death. People are living and dying. Don't be stuck in the third world. Lingering in the nine. Silk in the eight binders also. Twelve causes are due to nine, then the first person is also heaven.

The four truths are learned, the nine stops are learned, and the eight explanations are corrected. It is the eight evils. Evil and righteousness are invincible. Stopping is unpleasant. Nothing but pleasure. Therefore, it can shine through the hole, and it is invincible, so it is necessary to concentrate on the change of mind. If God responds, he will not hurry. The hole shines on the side, and it goes without saying. It is self-evident, so there is no abandonment; There is no disease, so there is no relic. The things are not left behind, the people are not abandoned, and the reason for the wisdom of Zen is also. Therefore, the scripture says: "Tao from Zen to read the latest children's festival on the washing stream book and drying the fine concave said to shake Shan) human desire to give birth to the scripture note preface", the Empress Dowager's aunt and nephew naturally did not understand, and Chen Caozhi explained them one by one in easy-to-understand language. It also mixed with the scriptures and meanings of the Yuanjue Sutra, such as "in all confusion karma and the demon realm." Liberation in the world is like a lotus flower without water, just as the sun and the moon are not empty of all the worlds. Oviparity, viviparity, wet birth, and metamorphosis are all due to lust and positive life, and we should know that reincarnation love is the foundation. Another example is "life and death without beginning, covered by ignorance, tied by love knots, reincarnated in the long night, and ignorant of the nature of suffering"

At first, the Empress Dowager's eyes fluctuated and she was uneasy about her seat, but Chen Caozhi did have the infectious power of the stubborn stone nodding from the Father-in-law, saying that Buddhism was simple to understand. He also told some stories of karma, good fortune, and punishment that women love to hear, and used the Buddha's verses to warn them, such as "Adultery is impure behavior, and it is confused and lost in the right way." The spirit is galloping, and he dies early. Suffering from sin, stubbornness, and desolation. Death and revert to the evil way. I am afraid of it, and abandon my home and return to the forest. ”

The seven-year-old crown prince Fu Hong was also quite sitting, and always sat on the couch alone, but later began to nap, but it was the queen who was the queen of the family, with a pair of big eyes that did not leave Chen Caozhi's face, greedy for Chen Caozhi's appearance and demeanor, but he didn't listen to what Chen Caozhi said

Chen Caozhi spoke for most of the hour, that is, got up to say goodbye, the Empress Dowager was happy and admired, please Chen Caozhi tomorrow afternoon to enter the palace again to say the Dharma, Chen Caozhi: "The foreign minister is not a monk, not to promote the Dharma as a business, because the Queen Mother worships the Buddha, so he does not explain the Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother is gracious, the foreign minister is in Chang'an. As long as he has time, he will come to the palace every single day to preach for the Queen Mother. "Chen Caozhi wants to leave Chang'an smoothly, this Empress Dowager is the key, there are many people in the palace, so there is no need to worry about how the Empress Dowager will have lustful thoughts

The Empress Dowager ordered the crown prince He Hong, the eunuch Zhao Quan, and Meng Feng to send Chen Caozhi out of the palace.

The Empress Dowager on the side didn't speak, but quietly looked at the Empress Dowager Mi, who was her aunt and aunt, thinking about the affairs of the Empress Dowager Mi, and she was envious.

For more than ten days after that, he was accompanied by Dou Lang. Visiting the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Qin Dynasty, whether it is a noble relative of the Di people or an important minister of the Han people, Chen Cao visited them one by one. Because Fu Jian saluted this Jiangdong envoy, and Chen Caozhi became famous in the Taixue Lecture Hall, those high-ranking officials did not dare to be disrespectful to Chen Caozhi. It's just that relatively speaking, the Han officials are more cordial to Chen Caozhi, while the Di nobles are relatively cold, especially the leading general Qiang Wang is the most obvious

Qiang Wang is the younger brother of Qiangde, a noble relative of the Di tribe. Qiang's several generations and the royal family He's marriage, Qiangde's sister is Fu Jian's uncle Fu Jian's queen, Fu Jian appointed Wang Meng after the throne, first cut and then executed Qiangde, Qiang's power declined, because Wang Meng was favored by Hejian, and the special Jin Wanshi was also beheaded by Fu Jian in the west hall because of offending Wang Meng, Qiang Wang knew that he could not resist Wang Meng, so he had to bend to cater to him, but the resentment in his chest has not diminished, Qiang Wang listened to Chen Caozhi's praise of He Jian and Wang Meng in the Taixue lecture hall is a virtuous minister of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that Daqin can have today's situation is all Wang Meng's strength, Qiang Wang is very angry, Naturally, Chen Caozhi didn't have a good face, just chatting about entertainment, but Chen Caozhi didn't think it was wrong, deliberately praised Wang Meng's sage, forced Wang to endure hardship, and waited for Chen Caozhi to go out, pulled out his saber and studied the couch that Chen Caozhi had just sat on, and his hatred was unsettled.

Fu Liu, the general of the chariot and cavalry, is Fu Jian's brother, and Henan Gongshuang is Fu Jian's half-brother, Chen Caozhi noticed that the two were very angry with Fu Jian and Wang Meng when he visited, Chen Caomao naturally praised Jian and Wang Meng, and the two just sneered

Every single day afternoon, Chen Caozhi entered the palace to explain the Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager, which is not limited to the "Human-Oriented Desire Sutra", Chen Caozhi starts from the world of desire, the world of color, and the world of colorlessness, talking about karma and the six reincarnations. Then mixed with the karma story of the name, surname, time and place (all of them were entrusted to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, anyway, the Empress Dowager Qi has no way to verify), the Empress Dowager listened to it fascinated, and looked deeply enlightened, and the original lustful heart of Chen Caozhi turned into respect, and Chen Caozhi was really respected as a virtuous monk.

On May 24, Wang Meng returned to Chang'an and reported to Fu Jian about the locust plague in Jingyang and Sanyuan counties, worried that the locust plague would continue to expand, and requested that the army and civilians be requisitioned to fight the disaster. When he still remembered the deal with Jin, he asked Shilang to tell Chen Caozhi that if Chen Caozhi wanted to go to Longyou Horse Farm to see the horses, he would order An Lang to accompany him.

From Chang'an to Longyou, it will take at least more than a month to go back and forth, and Chen Caozhi is only an envoy, and when he really wants to trade, there are naturally officials in charge of this matter in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to come, this is Wang Meng's procrastination, Chen Caozhi does not know, he has been in Chang'an for more than ten days. He should reach an agreement with Di Qin as soon as possible, because he is still concerned about the safety of Luoyang and Lu Weirui, who is waiting for him in the distant east of the river.
