Chapter 1080: The Dispute over the Buddha and the Dao

Guo Ye's brain crashed instantly, isn't this Nima the legendary "Battle of Buddhism and Taoism"?

His Majesty Li Er put forward this condition to seduce Yuan Tiangang, no wonder Yuan Tiangang was so excited that it was difficult to refuse.

It is said that there is no first and no second, but in fact? Who wouldn't want to be the first person?

Otherwise, in the era of the hundred schools of thought in the Warring States Period, although the hundred schools of thought contended and each faction flourished, any faction wanted to defeat and squeeze out the other schools and emerge as the boss.

So much so that after Dong Zhongshu proposed to "overthrow the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism", Confucianism overwhelmed the hundred schools of thought and became a dominant family, affecting the existence of the pattern of China for two thousand years.

The reason is also simple when you think about it, which is obviously that the ruler at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his ruling class, hit it off with Confucianism, which opened the door for the Confucian family to become independent. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty needed the allegiance of Confucianism, and needed the core ideas of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, forgiveness, loyalty, filial piety, and piety" to rule the people, and Confucianism also needed the help of Emperor Wu of Han with a scepter and a steel knife in his hand to meet his needs.

Both sides take what they need, and both sides are mutually beneficial. Confucianism preaches loyalty to the monarch and patriotism on behalf of those in power, preaches the prince of heaven and earth, and recognizes his dominance; And what about those in power? In the same way, the reciprocity of both parties guarantees the respect and legitimacy of the Confucian family.

Now from this point of view, how similar are the current Majesty Li Er and Yuan Tiangang to the original Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Dong Zhongshu?

Guo Ye's mind was full of the tempting conditions put forward by His Majesty Li Er to Yuan Tiangang: to support Taoism and suppress Buddhism, completely drive Buddhism out of the Central Plains, so that Taoism would become dominant, and establish the Northern Quanzhen Tao in Taoism as the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.

I have to say that His Majesty Li Er really knows Yuan Tiangang too well. Yuan Tiangang, an outsider, is not good at power, not good for profit, and not good for women, and is detached from the world. Maybe this is the only name that Yuan Tiangang's only death hole, right?

This name is not the other. Yuan Tiangang can not care about what people in the world or officialdom think of him, but Yuan Tiangang must value the opinions of people in the Taoist sect about him. If Daomen can be facilitated by Yuan Tiangang, it will dominate Buddhism in the Central Plains, and make the Quanzhen Dao in the north of Daomen the state religion of the Tang Empire. Then he Yuan Tiangang is definitely the existence of the Taoist sect that directly catches up with the ancestor of Taoism - Laozi Li Dan. If Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, is called the first, he Yuan Tiangang should be the second person in Taoism since the previous year and the first person in a hundred years with his brilliant achievements in Taoism.

No wonder, no wonder Yuan Tiangang was excited, no wonder he put down his body and was willing to run for His Majesty Li Er in the south.

Guo Ye secretly exclaimed, His Majesty Li Er is going to learn from the three martial arts in history to destroy the Buddha (Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, and Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Buddha), and he also wanted to come to a "feat" of demolishing temples and destroying temples to force monks and nuns all over the world to return to the world.

If memory serves, Guo Ye remembered that His Majesty Li Er had really never done such a thing in his previous history.

Could it be that the historians have omitted the record? Or is it that the absurd behavior of His Majesty Li Er recorded in the history books was deliberately destroyed by his descendants and emperors?

Or is it ...... It was because of his arrival that history was slightly deflected, and then his little butterfly wings that crossed over fluttered so much that he directly stunned His Majesty Li Er?

Grandma's, evil!

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Yuan Tiangang saw Guo Ye standing there in a daze, and he didn't say anything for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you in a daze?" Now I understand why Lao Dao wants to let the White Lotus Sect fall into infighting, and let Hu Bilie's family completely control the White Lotus Sect, right? ”

"Kind of understood."

Guo Ye replied thoughtfully: "You and the emperor mean that you want Hu Bilie to lead the White Lotus Sect to demolish temples and destroy temples in the south, and do the evil thing of persecuting monks and nuns to force the monks and nuns in the world to return to the world, right?" The infamy that has been stinking for 10,000 years has completely fallen on Hu Bilie and his White Lotus Sect. In this way, we can not only achieve the goal of completely eradicating the Guanlong clan, but also achieve the goal of exterminating the Buddha in the Central Plains, right?"

"In a word!"

The corners of Yuan Tiangang's mouth sneered, and he couldn't help but ask: "Do you still want to block this errand for Hu Bilie, and personally handle the matter for Lao Dao and the emperor?" ”

"Pull the calf!" Guo Ye immediately waved his hand and refused, "Whoever likes to do this kind of thing of destroying Buddha, I Guo Ye don't want to create this evil." ”

"Humph!"

Yuan Tiangang heard Guo Ye's words with some pity and sympathy for Buddhism, and suddenly became a little displeased, and said: "You kid, don't think that those people in Buddhism are vegetarians. They have dominated the Central Plains for so many years and fooled the people for so many years, do you really think that they are all Buddha-mouthed and Buddha-minded? Confused, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and everything changes will not deviate from its origin, after all, it will not escape a sharp word. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Buddhism is not a Buddha, after all, it is still for hegemony in the Central Plains. Boy, when you see the statues of the Buddha in the temple, all of them are smiling and looking like the Buddha is compassionate, as if looking at the grand wish of Ning to fall into the eighteen layers of hell for the well-being of the world, but what does the Buddha think in his heart? How do you kid know? Well, now is not the time to talk about the kindness of a woman, put away your little compassion. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Tiangang became more and more energetic, and couldn't help but reprimand in an aggravated tone: "I see that your kid is also deeply poisoned by Buddhism, and he must have been influenced by the great monk Xuanzang of the Great Ci'en Temple, right?" ”

Monk Xuanzang?

When Guo Ye thought of the great monk who was cute and cute, but had great perseverance to go to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures, he was really full of pity in his heart, and secretly said silently, perhaps, a pure monk like Xuanzang is the most pitiful and innocent.

"Alright, everything that needs to be said has been said."

Here, Yuan Tiangang looked at himself and said: "Tomorrow, Hu Bilie will lead his White Lotus Protector Army to take the lead, and your kid must withdraw his troops tonight and take the initiative to give up Qianzhou City." Lao Dao proposed that you lead your army to cross the Heishui River from the west gate of Qianzhou City tonight and withdraw to Lingnan City on the other side of Qianzhou City. ”

Although Lingnan City and Qianzhou City are separated by a Heishui River, the Heishui River is bottomless and the water is rapid, but it is a natural danger that can be relied on.

Guo Ye looked at Yuan Tiangang and asked, "Hu Bilie should want to take advantage of the rain tomorrow afternoon to break my mine array, and then lead the army to storm the north gate, right?" ”

"Yo, that's good," Yuan Tiangang said approvingly, "It seems that Lao Dao taught you how to stargaze and predict the weather back then, and you kid hasn't thrown it away." That's right, tomorrow afternoon, there will be an onslaught. Therefore, Lao Dao hopes that you will withdraw from Qianzhou City tonight and move to Lingnan City on the other side of the Heishui River. It is also good that Hu Bilie can take advantage of the attack on Qianzhou City to be on an equal footing with Dugu and Yujia as soon as possible. ”

Guo Ye had already moved his mind at this time, nodded and said, "Presumably you also learned from Hu Bilie's mouth the real reason why they were in a hurry to recapture Qianzhou City, right?" It's okay to give up Qianzhou City, but I have to transfer the gold bricks in Qianzhou City. The city can be allowed, but the gold bricks cannot be left! This is a wealth that rivals the country, enough to be worth ten years of taxes from the imperial court, and it must not be cheap for these rebels and thieves. ”

Yuan Tiangang didn't value money, and said happily: "This is natural." Lao Dao only needs to help Hu Bilie break through Qianzhou City, as for the batch of gold bricks, Lao Dao doesn't know anything, and he doesn't do my business. ”

The implication is that Yuan Tiangang said that he didn't care about the retention and ownership of the gold bricks, and he was hinting at Guo Ye, and he would never mention this matter to His Majesty Li Er.

Guo Ye naturally understood his voice, and muttered secretly, your sister, is this a transaction under the table?

Immediately, he pretended to be fine, and promised: "Okay, I will promise you now, that I will start a great transfer of the whole city tonight, and leave an empty city for Hu Bilie's grandson before dawn tomorrow." ”

Yuan Tiangang pursed his lips and responded with a chuckle.

In the end, after a brief greeting, he submitted his resignation to Guo Ye on the grounds that it was inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so as not to be discovered by others, and he was about to leave after lifting his robe.

Guo Yexiang was sent to the door of the flower hall.

Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang stopped and turned around, looked at Guo Ye as if he remembered something, and sighed softly: "Guo Ye, in fact, it is not yet time to completely eradicate the Guanlong clan, these things are left to Hu Bilie and their dog-eat-dog infighting." If you rush now, you may lose your life. ”

This word, which has no beginning and no end, suddenly made Guo Ye suspicious, and he couldn't help but ask: "Yuan Laodao, what do you mean by this?" Ambiguity is confusing. ”

Yuan Tiangang's eyes were a little evasive, he stopped talking, his brows furrowed a few times, and finally he didn't hold back, and asked softly: "Do you know the whereabouts of your teacher, the former Guozi Priest Wine, when the left servant of the court Shangshu shot Yu Shinan?" You have been in the south for so many days, and you have not inquired about it? Don't you want to know whether he is alive or dead now? ”

asked three questions in a row, and directly confused Guo Ye, yes, Yu Shinan Yu, old man Yu, where is this teacher of his own? And he promised Kong Yingda and assured him of the teacher's safety.

As soon as he thought of this, Guo Ye really wanted to slap himself, fuck, he was really careless, he was so confused!
