Chapter 114: Tai Chi on Buddha
In the Taiji Palace, Li Zhi was sitting on the dragon chair, and Wu Zetian, Wang Ruoxi and Concubine Xiao Shufei were also sitting on both sides of Li Zhi. Although Li Zhi has a deep affection for Wu Zetian www.biquge.info after all, Wu Zetian has no name, and Wang Ruoxi is the queen and Concubine Xiao Shufei is the concubine, so the three of them still sit in the order of respect and inferiority.
The civil and military officials in front of the hall are divided into two rows and stand on both sides, and there are two extremely spacious pieces of air in the middle, but the ground is paved with black and white floor tiles to form a big gossip, and the two black and white yin and yang fish of the gossip are neatly placed on the paving. Zhu Mingyang sat in the eyes of the white yin-yang fish, while on the eyes of the black yin-yang fish sat the Galqin Mausoleum, behind which sat the three most proficient disciples of Buddhism.
Wu Zetian muttered a few words in Li Zhi's ear, then walked down the hall and sat down behind Zhu Mingyang. Originally, Zhu Mingyang wanted to discuss the Buddha and arrange Li Zhi to take Wu Zetian back to the palace, but he didn't expect Wu Zetian to seriously participate in the Buddha discussion. Zhu Mingyang saw that his only teammate came, and his flustered heart calmed down a little.
"Your Majesty! The time has come to talk about the Buddha, can we start talking about the Buddha? At this time, Yan Shansi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked out of the queue and asked Li Zhi for instructions.
"Hmmm! Let's go! Li Zhi said with a hint of seriousness on his face.
"The auspicious time has come, and the discussion of the Buddha begins!" Yan Shansi turned around and shouted at the civil and military officials.
"I am the Tibetan teacher Garqinling. Please also ask Childe for more advice! Garqinling politely introduced himself at the beginning, even though he knew that Zhu Mingyang knew him.
"I am Sima Zhu Mingyang of Yongzhou in the Tang Dynasty, please give me more advice!" Zhu Mingyang also responded politely, and on this occasion, he felt a little uncomfortable talking to Garqinling.
"Today's discussion of the Buddha is also fate, and please ask the donor to focus on the lives of the two countries and the world!" It seems that the Galchen Mausoleum expected that this discussion of the Buddha would not be a simple discussion.
"Remember the Master's good words!" Zhu Mingyang was also aware of Garqinling's worries.
"Then let my three disciples discuss the Dharma with you first!" The voice of the Garqin Mausoleum was not very loud, but the few disciples behind him could hear it clearly.
"I am Zhuoma, a disciple of the Tubo National Teacher, today on Buddhism is the grand event of my Buddhism, is there no one in the Tang Dynasty, the person selected for the grand event of Buddhism is either a woman or an official, don't you know that my Buddha precepts and abstains?" As soon as Dolma, the eldest disciple of Garqinling, came up, he gave Zhu Mingyang a problem.
"I have so many people in the Tang Dynasty that I can call no one, my Tang Dynasty monk Master Xuanzang is famous in the sea, and his Buddhist attainments are at the peak, how can you understand. I believe in Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, and even our women and children and officials at all levels are also devout to the Buddha, and run the society with Buddhism. Just as Zhu Mingyang was thinking about the solution, Wu Zetian behind him suddenly said confidently.
"You...... You! Dolma blushed and couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhu Mingyang saw that the eldest disciple of Garqinling was embarrassed by Wu Zetian like this, so he turned his head and smiled at Wu Zetian. Thinking that this woman is really not simple, no wonder the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Renyou are worried about this woman, it seems that they underestimate Wu Zetian, but fortunately, their relationship with Wu Zetian is still very good for the time being.
"Good, good, good!" Li Zhi saw that Wu Zetian's momentum overwhelmed Zhuoma as soon as he came up, and he only applauded. And the civil and military officials in front of the hall also cast approving glances, and even the eldest grandson Wuji had a smile on his face.
"Humph! You can win my brother, but you can't win me. I am Tashi, the second disciple of the Tubo National Master, and I have been bothering the little monk with a problem recently, and I want to take it out to ask my son for advice. I have a chicken called Tibetan chicken in Tibet, and Tibetan chicken lays eggs and then has chicks. So, let me ask you if you are a chicken or an egg. Tashi, the second disciple of Gar who came in person, saw that Zhuoma was down, and hurried up to help.
"This ......" Wu Zetian fell silent as soon as she heard this question, she knew that this was an unsolvable question, if she said that there was an egg first, Tashi would definitely ask where the egg came from. If he had said that there were chickens first, Tashi would have asked where the chickens came from.
Li Zhi and the civil and military officials saw Wu Zetian's willow eyebrows frowning, and their hearts suddenly became nervous, and they turned their eyes to Zhu Mingyang, because they saw that rare confident smile on Zhu Mingyang's face, and every time such a smile appeared, it meant that Zhu Mingyang must have found a way to solve the problem.
"Your Majesty, I ask for pen, ink, paper, inkstone!" Zhu Mingyang did not answer directly, but asked Li Zhi for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"What do you want pen, ink, paper, inkstone for?" Li Zhihu asked suspiciously, and the ministers also looked at Zhu Mingyang in confusion.
"The minister begs Your Majesty not to ask, Your Majesty will understand in a while!" Zhu Mingyang said confidently.
"Quasi-play! Pen and ink waiting! Li Zhi turned to the eunuch beside him and ordered.
After a while, the eunuch ordered the guards to carry a table, but there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, and Wu Zetian stepped forward and personally polished the ink for Zhu Mingyang, she also wanted to see how Zhu Mingyang dealt with Tashi.
Zhu Mingyang saw that Wu Zetian had sharpened the ink, so he picked up a brush and wrote a few big characters on the rice paper.
"I wonder if Master Tashi can understand Chinese characters!" Zhu Mingyang asked carefully.
"Master and I often come to Datang, what's so difficult about this Datang character!" Tashi said confidently.
"That's so good, I wonder if the master knows these words?" After Zhu Mingyang finished speaking, he raised the rice paper in his hand.
"Hide the eggs!" Tashi read it out heavily.
"No, no, no! I wrote about Tibetan laying hens, and it seems that the master Tang characters still haven't learned well. Zhu Mingyang said contemptuously, and even had a hint of ridicule.
"It's an egg, how can it be a laying hen?" Tashi's head was full of doubts.
"I obviously wrote the word egg in the front and the word chicken in the back, how could the master pronounce it backwards?" Zhu Mingyang pointed to the words on the white paper.
"No, it's definitely not like that, the chicken is in front of the egg!" Tashi again recognized Zhu Mingyang's handwriting.
"It turns out that the master's point of view coincides with mine!" Zhu Mingyang suddenly put away the blank paper and smiled.
"What's not the same?" Tashi was even more confused by the monk who looked like Zhang'er.
"Didn't the master just say that the chicken is in front of the egg! Actually, what I wrote is hiding eggs, and it seems that the master's Tang characters are still very well learned! Zhu Mingyang said carefully.
"What are you? You're actually setting me up, I'm ......" Tashi blushed and looked like he couldn't say anything.
"Hahaha!" Li Zhi suddenly laughed out loud regardless of the might of the Son of Heaven, he didn't expect Zhu Mingyang to use this method to solve this problem, and he admired and laughed at Zhu Mingyang's witty approach, and the civil and military officials in front of the palace also laughed in agreement......
