Chapter 306: Protection
The great monk was gone, and a room full of people were petrified.
Zheng Lang picked up the chess pieces and fell, and said, "Lu Zhixian, continue." ”
What else did Lu Gongbi have to play chess, rubbed his eyes and ears, and said, "Governor Zheng, do you want to distinguish Buddha with the entire senior monks in Hangzhou?" ”
"yes."
"Governor Zheng, do you know how many monasteries and monks there are in Hangzhou?"
"Yes."
"Know, you ......"
Zheng Lang smiled and said, "What do you think I can distinguish?" Challenge many monks in Tianzhu like Xuanzang? ”
Isn't it looking for a draw?
"I don't understand."
"I only distinguish between encroaching on the land of the poor people and lending usury, these bad behaviors are not the whole Buddha's teachings, and this is still self-aware."
"Original...... It's hard to ...... too."
"It's difficult, but whether it's Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism, the purpose is the art of governing the world and helping the people. It's just that the experiences of each founder are different, which leads to different methods. For example, in Confucianism, the master is the minister of the Lu State, so it is to enter the WTO, and to set the etiquette of honoring and humbling. Another example is Taoism, Confucianism and Taoism were created from the time of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Taoism began to grow from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty until the Three Kingdoms and Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the core idea is still Lao Tzu's Taoist thought. Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan and went to Hanzhong to live in seclusion, so Taoism likes to be quiet and inactive. ”
"Didn't Lao Tzu go to Tianzhu and become a Buddha?" The little lady of the Wu family asked.
"What to go to Tianzhu, Hanzhong and Bashu were not fully civilized at that time, how to go to Tianzhu to preach."
"Why do you say Lao Tzu turned into a beard?"
Zheng Lang and Fu Bi all laughed, ignored her, and continued: "The founder of Buddhism is Shakyamuni, at that time Tianzhu also had many small countries, and China (China came from the Book of Songs, referring to the Central Plains, and later extended to the Chinese orthodox dynasty, the ancient dynasties were mostly used, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties also had a dispute for this, and China called the Song Dynasty and Huaxia without doubt) The war was endless, and Shakyamuni sat under the Bodhi tree to solve the suffering of the people, and finally founded Buddhism. He was a prince, he had no worries about food and clothing, and he couldn't do anything. Therefore, Buddhism wants to give alms, want to live a better life, and have a temple, not only preaching, but also incense to improve life. ”
Several people all lowered their heads and laughed.
It is equivalent to scolding Buddhism as a parasite, but Zheng Lang does not mean this, he can really teach the people to be good, and they themselves are really being disciples of the Buddha, even if they receive incense from the people, it is not too much.
All walks of life have a role to play, and they don't necessarily have to be peasants to eat.
"Speaking of Western religions, the founder of Islam was Muhammad, a man of great wisdom who was an active expansive ruler throughout his life, destined for radical doctrines. There is also more Western Christianity, the founder is Jesus, who was a commoner and was even crucified as a pagan, so the doctrine is populist, and in addition doomed to an exclusive surname. ”
"What exclusive surname?" Huan'er Road.
"Even if this religion flourishes in the future, it will double down on the infidels with torture."
"It's barbaric."
"Hugh is to see it as barbaric, and of all religions, it has the best prospects."
"Why?"
"Confucian scholarship cannot be sloppy, if you want to know some fur, you must at least read the Five Classics, Meng Xun's works."
Huan'er nodded heavily.
"How many ordinary people can understand the Pentateuch? It is seen by ministers, scholars, and emperors, and how difficult it is to be glorious. Besides, if you learn Confucianism, you can't become an immortal, and a few ordinary people will be interested in it. Again Taoism, Taoism wants to become a god in the flesh and fly directly to the sky, who can do it? "Could it be that the enlightenment of the Tao has passed through the atmosphere, the moon, the solar system, the Milky Way, and the physical body at a speed of several light-years per second to a certain heavenly place in the universe? He couldn't say it, and said, "What about Buddhism, when a person dies, the soul can go to heaven." I said I was dead, and the great monks said that they went to heaven, who will prove it? If you had to choose, which religion would you choose? ”
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry.
"It is not as convenient as Christianity, Buddhism has many precepts, but Christianity does not, you can drink alcohol, you can eat meat, you can get married and have children, as long as you pray occasionally, you can go to heaven after death. In a fight, what kind of religion will the believers believe? ”
It's not that it can't be changed, but from the time Shakyamuni founded the religion, Buddhism was already destined for this kind of caste.
If he doesn't want to be painful, he can't solve it, his power is too small to end the war of mankind, the inequality between the rich and the poor, so he came up with a way to make the people empty, broken, and only pursue the sublimation of the soul.
However, it is not easy to break, such as color, it is a man who wants to be a beautiful girl, even if the vicissitudes of the sea are only enough to take a scoop, monogamy, who doesn't want his wife to be beautiful like a flower, gentle and virtuous, but the better the female surname to follow, the more his own conditions can't keep up, but he has become a troublemaker. For a woman's surname, Cinderella can also marry a scholar, but after marrying, she must be prepared to guard the boudoir for 365 days a year and 300 skies.
This is the source of trouble.
For a while, he couldn't live forever, so he asked the disciples to become monks and nuns, shave their hair, and so on, and forcibly abstain from it.
Another example is food, if you want to eat food, you also need wealth, which is the source of trouble. So he said that all beings are equal, that they can't eat meat, and so on.
With these, the main purpose of Buddhism came out, and then what words were used to impress the people's faith, and then think about it, when the flowers fell and were colorful, they stood up with flowers, and there was a religion.
As long as you grasp this theme, you can use your perverted brain to read more Buddhist scriptures, and you can distinguish it.
Euphemistically said the meaning, and Xing'er pinched his back desperately in the back.
Zheng Lang said: "Don't pinch, I won't say it." ”
Fu Bi and Lu Gongbi glanced at each other, and understood, this idiot is the most blessed, so great creation, because of learning words, he finally became Zheng Lang's concubine. is Zheng Lang's concubine, and she is also equivalent to half of her official wife.
They have some mistakes in their thinking, if they are blessed, it is the blessing that Xing'er is idiot, if they really ask for a concubine, they may not be satisfied.
Han Jiang asked: "According to Governor Zheng, there are no ghosts and gods in this world?" ”
"I don't know, there may be, and even if there is, it is not what we mortals can idealize, let alone the gods and goddesses that we mortals imagine and concoct. Listen to the master's words, don't ask the ghosts and gods to ask the common people, and stay away. ”
"Pangu, Woe to the Woman, Shakyamuni ......"
"Don't say it, you can't say it, religion has the role of religion, promoting good and eliminating evil, so after Taizu ascended the throne, he believed in Lao Shi, and there were relics, and it was not good to say it."
Understood, didn't ask again.
Little Lady Wu suddenly shouted: "Oh no." ”
I listened attentively, but Zheng Lang continued to play chess while talking, and fell into more than a dozen pieces, and the chess board obviously fell to the upper hand, and it was difficult to correct it.
"It doesn't matter, if you lose, you will lose, I am a human being, I will not be omnipotent, everything is excellent." Zheng Lang smiled faintly, dropped another son, and said, "Where are you." ”
"Are you going to let me go?"
"It's not for you to play chess, it's for you to talk, what's the matter with coming to me?"
"Governor Zheng, why did you put my father in prison too?"
"Why don't you catch it?"
"He made a meritorious service."
"But he is very dishonest, and the official coerced him for a long time before he confessed the truth."
"You said that night."
"What did I say?"
"You say ......"
Wang Anshi stood on the side and said: "Little lady, if this is the case, please go back, that is not to arrest, but to protect." The case is too big, and it is inconvenient for Hangzhou to deal with it, so it must wait for news from the imperial court. Doctor Zheng has carefully written down what happened, including your father's merits and mistakes, and once the imperial decree arrives, no matter how you deal with it, your whole family will not stay in Hangzhou, and your father will be safe when you leave. ”
"Original...... No wonder my brother was beaten. ”
"It's good to understand, you can go back." Zheng Lang said again.
"Why did you raid our property?"
"Is that your property?" Zheng Lang sneered.
"That ......" The little lady of the Wu family suddenly fell down again and said, "The concubine is the concubine of the prefect." ”
"When were you the concubine of this official? Go back, fortunately it's not a concubine, otherwise for the sake of the law, I will use your father to show me. ”
"Concubine ......"
"Little lady, the prefect is kind, Hangzhou has done an investigation and punishment in advance, which is equivalent to punishment, there are many officials involved in the case, your father has the merit of reporting, and the family property has been confiscated, even if the court punishes, it will become very light. Seeing that your chess skills are exquisite, why can't you figure it out? Fu Bi said.
"Well, I'll take a look with you." I heard that her brother was bullied by others, and taking a look is equivalent to a kind of protection.
…… Hangzhou finally ended the arrest, sorted out the files one by one, and handed them over to the imperial court. But another thing went viral, and the prefect wanted to discuss Buddhism with all the senior monks in Hangzhou during the Double Ninth Festival.
The people were stunned and amazed.
The great monks were very worried.
It turned out that it didn't matter, the reason why there were all kinds of greedy and insufficient manifestations was that he thought that Zheng Lang was gentle, and honest people were easy to bully, even if they were monks, they wanted to bully. But the thunder operation in early June allowed the great monks to see another side of Zheng Lang.
Still thinking wrong, Zheng Lang has been hesitant about this, and the idea is not Zheng Lang's idea, it is Tong Ming's bad idea, which will work quickly, but there will be many drawbacks in the future. In the future, no matter which state Zheng Lang goes to serve as the governor or prefect, it is inevitable that there will be some bad thoughts in the hearts of large families.
In this era, the big families are the mainstream of the country after all, and without their support, everything may not be done.
I don't know the inside story, but I know that Zheng Lang is not easy to mess with.
Discerning Buddhism makes these great monks even more worried, losing, as long as the loss is not too embarrassing, Zheng Lang will not care, he is a Confucianist, and he is a person, he is a real Buddhist disciple, and there are many people. I am not well prepared, unlike myself as "eminent monks" who have been studying the Dharma all their lives. Even if he has the ability to make Zheng Lang lose and run away, but he is a parent official, do you dare to do this?
Won? If you don't say anything about the serious consequences, what prestige will these people have in the future? I'm afraid that even the incense will be reduced by more than half.
The great monk thought that Zheng Lang didn't have time to care, and things came one after another, so he had the energy to ask. But at home, he asked four students: "Do you know why I let out the wind at this time?" ”
Yan Rong replied, "Reduce the trouble." ”
"Yes, reduce the trouble, otherwise these great monks will continue to be greedy and insufficient, one temple and two monasteries can be forcibly executed, and many monasteries will work together, and if they want to force it, it will cause great trouble." Zheng Lang shook his head.
I don't understand, no matter whether they are really monks or not, the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang believe in Buddhism, and the incense has always been very vigorous. It shows that he is still a little prejudiced, not only in the Song Dynasty, but also in the Tang Dynasty, which forced the imperial court to forcibly exterminate the Buddha for a time. Then he asked, "What else?" ”
Wang Anshi said: "Calm the hearts of some people." ”
"It is to calm their hearts, otherwise it will not be good to run to the Japanese country." said with a sigh, and said: "Wang Sanlang, this action in Hangzhou, you have to keep it in mind, if you want to do things, the main thing is to use gentle measures, spring breeze and rain, moisturizing things silently, and the country will benefit the most." In ancient and modern times, we either talked about the changes in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as the Shang Dynasty reform, or Wang Mang's reform, or the Tang Dynasty's two tax laws, but in fact, it was not, the founding of the country was not counted, it was the formulation of the system. The most famous example of ZTE is the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, and Yao Yuan Chongjin's admonition is also a change, because there is no dispute, almost everyone ignores it. But as long as it changes, there will be some disputes, although Yao Yuanchong is a spring breeze and rain, the important drawbacks of the Tang Dynasty, the destruction of the household escape, the destruction of the Juntian system and the government military system, and the merger have not been solved. If he doesn't move, there will be a lot of strife, and if he moves, he will mainly use gentle means, and if necessary, he must be supplemented by the method of thunderbolts. Therefore, Confucianism also says that generosity and fierceness are mutually beneficial, and there is a way to be relaxed. ”
The doctor advised, "Now Wang Anshi doesn't know what Zheng Lang said." In history, Wang Anshi's method of changing the law was very radical, but the implementation process was very ink. actually let Sima Guang lead a large group of bigwigs to Luoyang to repair the history books, accumulate greater strength and fame, and wait for an opportunity to fight back against the new law at any time.
It is just reversed, which is also an important reason for the failure of the law change.
But Zheng Lang is not easy to say about the future. What Wang Anshi has done, Zheng Lang has been doing many times. Even if we are going to set up measures similar to banks in the future, as long as we continue to do so, there will be no need for Wang Anshi's so-called green seedling law.
The porter came in again to report: "Zhang Daliang asks to see." ”
The five masters and apprentices glanced at each other, and Zheng Lang said, "Let him in." ”
The person brought in, bowed down to give a salute, let Zheng Lang pull it up, and asked, "Zhang Daliang, what are you looking for this official?" ”
Zhang Daliang said: "I heard that there is a rich Ah Lang, but he has not been arrested so far. ”
"There is this person, but I just heard that this person looks like and what industry he does, and the official has not received any news, but unfortunately, even the case is not very easy to conclude."
"Do you want to send someone to ask?"
"What clues did you hear?"
"The little one didn't hear anything, but he was smuggled salt from the sea, and he was very familiar with the small sea lanes, if it weren't for the Zheng Governor's order, to this day, the small one still has two boats that continue to run the Japanese slave country, so the small one has a little friendship with the fishermen at sea, and some other people, maybe he can ask for any clues."
"I don't know how to thank you."
"It's a small honor."
"Sit down and talk."
Zhang Daliang sat down with his body in arrears, and said, "There is another small thing that dares to ask for Governor Zheng's mansion. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The little righteous daughter Yi Niangzi admires the prefect, and she just wants to enter the house to be a family secretary or a little maid, I don't know if I can make a ......"
Zheng Lang laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said: "This official can't agree, there are four wives and concubines in the family, and the official is very satisfied, and he doesn't want to take any more concubines." As for the family records, the official has never liked it. To be a little maid, with the color art of a lady, is too aggrieved. There is no grass at the end of the world, the country of the lady is fragrant, not to mention the concubine, even if you are a wife, you can also find a good husband. ”
Zhang Daliang furrowed his eyebrows.
Zheng Lang also said: "This official is a little vain, and he is a parent official, and it is his duty to treat the people under his jurisdiction well, but the people will have some thoughts, thinking that this official is great, or grateful, or for other reasons, if it is a good woman, one by one, what will become of this official?" Is it to open a hundred flowers? ”
Zhang Daliang couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Xing'er came over to make tea for him, Zhang Daliang was flattered and stood up to give a salute, Zheng Lang said: "No, treat it as your own home, you don't have to be bound by vulgar etiquette, then the official doesn't like it." But you are kind, check the clues for the official, but you must remember, don't keep it secret, there are many outlaws among these people, last time in the East China Sea, the official now thinks about it, and he still has relatives in his heart. ”
"Remember the little ones."
After talking for a while, a servant came in and handed a letter to Zheng Lang: "Xiuzhou Wei Zhizhou's letter to the prefect." ”
"Wei Zhizhou's letter?" Zheng Lang said to himself strangely, last time this Wei Zhizhou also wrote a letter to the capital to impeach himself, why did he write a letter to himself again? Could it be that Shi Jie caused something, opened the letter, read it quickly, his face changed, and asked, "What about the person who sent the letter?" ”
"It's in the government."
"Bring him in at once."
Wang Anshi asked strangely, "Doctor, what happened?" ”
"Wei Zhizhou said that Jiang Wuzhun went to Xiuzhou with my handwritten letter and asked Wei Zhizhou to release two prisoners."
"Jiang Wuzhun?"
"It's Zhengzhou Jiang Erlang."
"Your friend?"
"yes."
"It's impossible."
"Who can copy my handwriting?" Zheng Lang asked rhetorically, his font has been circulated, but it is not very widely circulated, even if it is counterfeit, Wei Zhizhou's eyesight will not be unable to see it.
"It's hard to imitate the doctor's handwriting, but the doctor can't write this kind of letter at all." Wang Anshi frowned and said incomprehensibly, it can't be said that it is impossible, the Jiang family also has the Jiang family's business, in case it happens that Xiuzhou has the Jiang family's industry and is implicated in the case, Jiang Erlang came to Xiuzhou and didn't know the importance of it, so let Wei Zhizhou use it, it would be very bad
