Guo Fen came out of the small restaurant, and went to Tianning Temple to worship the Buddha again, praying for the safety of her husband and children, but she didn't want to encounter a torrential rain before she arrived. Spring rain and winter snow, are good things for the agricultural society, the rain in mid-spring is dripping, it rains very densely, Guo Fen did not bring rain gear when he went out, he saw a small temple and hid in, but it was a Guanyin Hall.
Brother Guo Lu's family said: "Tianyu stays guests, presumably this temple has a relationship with Mrs. Why don't you go in and incense it? ”
Buddhism pays attention to a fateful word, Guo Fen said yes, then he can get in, but see that although this Guanyin temple is not big, it is also elegant, the main hall is a pair of couplets, written: "The holy name is free, and the world is full of compassion; Recite the Pumen, save the suffering and find the voice. ”
Guo Fen has always been martial and brave, in fact, the Guo family has both civil and military resources - just look at Guo Luo, so she also has a certain degree of cultivation in calligraphy, and there are fewer opportunities to fight after the cold, but there are more opportunities to contact literary affairs. Although the Anlong area is remote in the northwest, but since the Han and Tang dynasties, there have been many famous calligraphers, and there are many treasures of ink treasures in various places.
At this time, I saw that the font of this couplet is not bad, and it is newly carved, obviously it is close to the pen and ink, and the heart said: "Hexi humanities gather, and it will shine in time!" I don't know who this man is. When I saw the signature, it was Fan Qian, and I couldn't help but think, "It turned out to be him." No wonder this word looks familiar. ”
Fan Zhen is a famous scholar in the Central Plains, and is the envoy of the Later Tang Dynasty in Liangzhou, Guo Fen has received him twice through the curtain, and heard that Liangzhou is very popular with his articles and inscriptions, but unexpectedly this small temple also asked.
At this time, some monks of the temple had already seen Guo Fen's good manners and came out to receive him, Guo Fen pointed to the couplet and said: "You have such a pair hanging on the main hall, but it is also novel." ”
During the Chinese New Year, the peach charm without words on the door has long been hung, but the couplets with inscriptions and poems hanging on the gate are still new in this era.
The monk who came to receive said: "This is the marshal's first creation, on the day when the Tiance Mansion was completed, he asked Lord Zhang Yi to inscribe the couplet, everyone looked at it and thought it was wonderful, so they were ambiguous, and now many lintels in Liangzhou are like this." ”
Guo Fen was stunned, remembering that the Buddha was like this, but he didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, and said: "This Mr. Fan's words are now in Anlong, I heard that the market is more expensive than Zhang Yi, and he spent a lot of money." ”
The monk saw that Guo Fen actually recognized Fan's words, and he didn't dare to slack off when he heard this conversation, so he expected that she was a noblewoman of a certain family, although Guo Fen did not wear gold and silver, but the folk customs in the Anlong area were simple, and it was normal for the wives of many big people to dress plainly, and he was busy saying: "Mr. Fan once stayed in a small temple, and on a whim he inscribed this pair for the small temple, and this hand did not cost money." ”
Guo Fen entered the temple to worship Guanyin, added sesame oil, and then followed the monks to the east corridor to drink tea, at this time Guo Julan brought two people to rush in to greet him, and brought rain gear, Guo Fen said: "I don't go to Tianning Temple today, just take shelter from the rain here, and go back after the rain stops." Go back first. ”
Guo Julan agreed, but only withdrew from the temple, still waiting not far away.
This east corridor is divided into two places with a thin wall of a vertical knife, Guo Fen sits in the north section to taste tea, the eaves are like a curtain, flowing into the patio, but it is also a quiet scene, so that the mood is gradually calm, even forget the customs, to Guo Luge's family said: "This is the place that makes people clear their hearts." Although Tianning Temple is a large temple, it is not as quiet as here. ”
But when he heard someone stepping on the rainwater to come in, Guo Fen thought to himself: "There are still pilgrims at this time?" Looking at the comer in the rain curtain, but vaguely recognized, a novice stepped forward and called: "Mr. Fan is here, I will go and invite Mr. Wei." Guo Fen immediately remembered: "This is Fan Quality." Looking at the appearance of this novice, Fan Zhen seems to come often. ”
Fan Zhen also glanced at this side, he and Guo Fen had actually met, but the diplomatic etiquette was revised by Zhang Yi, Guo Fen did not pay much attention to his courtiers when he saw him, but Zhang Yi insisted that he could not be rude when meeting with foreign ministers, and he must add a bead curtain to separate him, so when they first met, Guo Fen sat close to the bead curtain, and he could see Fan Fen clearly when he looked out, Fan Zhen was far away from the bead curtain, but he only vaguely saw Guo Fen's figure, and at this time there was rain separating him, and he didn't expect Guo Fen to appear here, so he didn't recognize it, and said: " At this time, there are pilgrims. "Salute this way.
Guo Fen got up and saluted, and the novice next to him said, "This Mrs. Zhang came in to take shelter from the rain." While leading Fan Zhen to the south of the painting wall in the east corridor.
Soon the east chamber walked out of a cloth cloth, to the east corridor and met Fan Qian, Guo Fen heard that the two of them met and did not have much greetings, must be a very familiar person, she knew that the temple often rented out the wing room to merchants or scholars, as one of the economic income of the temple, in fact, it was actually a disguised inn (short-term resident) or rental house (long-term resident), but also to avoid taxes, because thought: "Most of this surnamed Wei is a friend of Fan Zhen." ”
After Fan and Wei sat down, they chatted casually, and talked about the current situation in a few words.
The two groups of people were only separated by a painting wall, and there was also a openwork carving in the shape of a goddess scattered flowers on the wall, and Fan Wei and the two did not deliberately suppress their voices, so Guo Fen actually heard the conversation between the two clearly. She thought: "This surnamed Wei just said that he received a letter from Weizhou or something, and it sounds like it's from the Central Plains." This unrestrained comment of the Central Plains scholar is rare. ”
At present, under the Tiance regime, there are two factions of opinion on how to deal with grain prices in the central part of the country, some are close to Yang Dingguo, and some are close to Zheng Wei.
Only here, the conversation heard is not as superficial as that of the outside.
But I heard the scholar surnamed Wei say: "The princes of Tiance can't help the people of the country to discuss politics, and now even women and children are talking about this matter, and this kind of atmosphere in Liangzhou is really rare in ancient and modern times." Now there are rumors in the market that the Tiance Center does not seem to have unified opinions on how to deal with Liangzhou. ”
Fan Zhen smiled and said: "Yes, the old Yang Gong seems to want to punish the evil hoe and rape to set an example, while Zheng Changshi advocates leniency and leniency." It's not very convenient for me to travel in Liangzhou, but I've heard a lot of rumors. "He is a resident envoy from abroad, and his daily activities are monitored, but he has a lot of contacts with the romantic figures and powerful people in Liangzhou, so he can also get a lot of information that cannot be heard in the public, and he communicates with Wei Renpu at the moment what he knows.
The scholar surnamed Wei said: "In the past two days, I have walked through the streets and alleys, and the people in the market are short-sighted and shallow-insighted, and most of them are only talked about based on their likes and dislikes, which can only be used as a reference for the people's wishes, and are not enough to be used as a criterion for the rulers to make policies." In fact, these grain merchants in the central part of the country are not difficult to solve, and they can send an order and send a Xu official down to wipe them out, but those who are indecisive in the center must have a foresight in the political system, which shows that the princes in charge of Tiance are extraordinary, if it is the Khitan Hu Lord or the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, I am afraid that they may not have such patience and insight, as for Meng Shu and Wu Chu, I am afraid that they do not have such a mind. ”
Guo Fen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said secretly: "Fan Zhen's insight has always been praised by Zheng Ji, Zhang Yi and others, but it's a pity that he is the envoy of the Central Plains to Liangzhou, otherwise it would be useless to come to Chu Caijin and use it." This scholar surnamed Wei has good knowledge. ”
Fan said: "Now this matter is not big, but it is not small, this matter is quite difficult to decide, no matter how we choose in the end, we can get a glimpse of the future trend of the scale of the Tiance Army." ”
"That's not the case," the scholar surnamed Wei said: "If the world is uncertain, then the Tao is inevitable for the world to split, if the marshal is here, by him to decide, then we see that the direction is not difficult, but the marshal is not there, the central decision may not be completely in line with his heart." ”
Fan Zhi said: "Brother Daoji, if you follow you, then Yang and Zheng's arguments, whose proposition will make the country more beneficial?" ”
Guo Fen was fascinated when she heard this, she was just trying to hear what people of insight who had no conflict of interest had to say about Yang and Zheng's ideas, and she didn't want to meet them by chance at this time.
But I heard the scholar surnamed Wei laugh and said: "You are a foreign envoy, I am a candidate for the exam, if you talk behind closed doors, it will be okay, but now you are talking in public, but you want to make the pilgrims next door laugh." Obviously, he didn't completely ignore Guo Fen's existence.
Guo Fen coughed and said: "Why should you be humble, I once heard the humble husband sing a sentence: 'How many things rise and fall through the ages, they are all in the laughter of the fisherman'." The fisherman is still talking about the rise and fall, not to mention the two scholars who read poetry and books. ”
Fan Zhen was stunned for a moment, and thought, "This voice sounds a little familiar." But I can't remember who it is, this person has a good conversation, most likely the noble lady he has seen at a banquet. ”
The scholar surnamed Wei had already applauded and said: "How many things have risen and fallen through the ages, they are all in the Yuqiao joke - good words!" But you don't know where it came from? ”
Guo Fen said with a smile: "The clumsy husband also heard people sing, and the concubine doesn't know it." ”
The scholar surnamed Wei is young after all, and he is the age at which he points out the country's words, and the policy of Liangzhou does not guard against the mouths of the people, so he has no scruples at the moment, and said: "In fact, the arguments of Yang and Zheng Ergong are all from the public heart, and they all have their strengths, but they also have their shortcomings. Yang Guolao's theory of the public but not the party, easy and selfless, can take the hearts of the people as their own hearts, if the rulers can always have this feeling, then the country is blessed, and the society is blessed. ”
Guo Fen said: "According to what Mr. said, it is Yang Guolao's opinion. ”
"That's not true." The scholar surnamed Wei said: "If the princes who are in power today, especially Marshal Zhang, they are all unborn figures." It is not that the talents of Marshal Zhang and the ruling princes surpass the sages of the past, but that people like Marshal Zhang and Yang Guolao who can not only take the hearts of the people as their own hearts, but also can influence the government and politics, are not available from generation to generation, and can even be said to be one in ten! Mortals have selfish intentions, and there are only a handful of people in the position of emperors and generals who can still do things on the official side! If the artifact of authority can be placed in the hands of the sages from time to time, it will naturally be a blessing for all the people, but everyone in the world has selfish desires, and the public is not the party, and it is easy and selfless to be passed on for a long time. The country will eventually encounter a time when the emperor and the minister will be in a state of disgrace, and if there is no rudeness, law, and law to restrain and guide it, the country will be in chaos. Therefore, the sage not only admired the virtuous king, but emphasized the great ritual system, and Yang Guolao's theory may not have any great disasters in the contemporary era, but if it forms a powerful power in later generations, it is easy to be used by the great bureaucrats and become a disaster of substituting power for law. ”
Guo Fen listened to it in his heart, and thought that this discussion was clearer than what he heard in the Tiance Mansion, because he said: "It turns out that what Mr. Wei agrees with is Zheng Changshi's proposition. ”
The scholar surnamed Wei laughed when he heard it: "That's not true!" Zheng Changshi's proposition of protecting everyone's selfishness in order to become selfless is also a public heart, but if this proposition is followed, not only will there be disasters at the moment, but as far as the establishment of the ritual and legal system is concerned, it may not be unbreakable if it reaches a hundred years. ”
Guo Fen said: "What is the truth of this? ”
/ > the scholar surnamed Wei said: "The law is impermanent!" When the world is different, so are things! If things are different, the use of the law will change! Even if the Dharma of the Supreme Perfection was revised in the heart of supreme goodness at the beginning, it will still appear in future generations. ”
"Tricksters?" Guo Fen interjected and asked.
The scholar surnamed Wei said: "It is a group of people who play with the law for personal gain, and this group of people does not rely on power, but on intelligence." The people are shallow and weak, and they can only obey the law in the face of it, but there must be a group of wise and resourceful people in the crowd, who are obedient and law-abiding at first, and then can be like a fish in water under this law, get wealth, power, and public opinion, and the people dare not say what is wrong, and then manipulate the law, government affairs, and etiquette, and finally even be able to oppose the guest-oriented, so that the law, etiquette and even political strategy are subject to its arrangement! The stricter and more perfect the law, the more it can weave a net of heaven and earth, so that the people have nothing to escape, trapped by the law but unable to do anything. At this time, if there is no people-oriented force that can support the hearts of the people to balance it and break it, it will be a more terrible scourge of virtue and thieves than the scourge of the bureaucracy. Those who are oppressed by the powerful, the people are forced to the extreme, and they can still have the heart to resist, but those who are trapped by the secret law can only go around in the legal net. ”
When he said this, he paused and said: "In fact, these truths have been discussed by the princes of the Warring States period, and they are very subtle, but I also confirmed what I saw and heard after I traveled west to the cold, and I have only recently understood them thoroughly. Now the actions of those grain merchants in Gaochang have already had this beginning. As far as I know, their actions have not actually violated the laws of the current Tiance Datang. ”
Guo Fen was a little stunned when she heard this, she actually felt that Yang Dingguo's momentum was more sufficient in Tiance Mansion that day, but Yang Dingguo was not educated enough after all, and only relied on a momentum to compete with Zheng Wei, and could not analyze its origin and interests like this scholar surnamed Wei, let alone find a theoretical support point, and at this time, when the scholar surnamed Wei said it, Guo Fenfang had a sense of enlightenment.
At this moment, Fan Zhen, who had not joined the discussion next door, suddenly became shocked after listening to Guo Fen say a few words one after another: "Ah! I remember who she was! ”
