Baili Wuji even forgot that he was a middle-aged person, and in front of a girl younger than his daughter, he actually had the heart to win.

"Emptiness cannot be said, non-emptiness cannot be said, and the total is not said together, but it is said in a pseudonym." Hundreds of miles of Mowgli-for-tat.

The meaning of this sentence is that it is impossible to say that the dharmas are empty, that the dharmas are not empty and that the dharmas are not empty, and that the dharmas are neither empty nor empty, nor can they be said to be empty.

But if you set up a pseudonym by chance, then you can say that it is all about qiē.

The four sentences of emptiness, non-emptiness, emptiness and non-emptiness, and non-emptiness and non-emptiness all capture the reality of the Dharma, and there is no escape from it.

They seem utterly unspeakable on the one hand, and all of them seem to be speakable on the other, and they are both speakable and unspeakable when there is nothing to say and when there is nothing to say.

At this time, if one thinks that random teaching is the true meaning of the vulgar and self-proof is the true meaning, then it is a vain distinction between the true and the vulgar in the absence of distinction.

Baili Wujitong guò refutes Duan Foyin's sentence, and the appropriate opportunity she said may not be the real appropriate opportunity.

This is also known as "to say, to speak; Don't say it, don't say it".

Say what can be said, don't say what can't be said.

Since you can't say it, don't say it.

Duan Foyin was a little surprised that Baili Wuji would actually talk about Zen, and was even refuted by him.

When she couldn't answer for a while, Duan Foyin began to take a detour, she said: "I don't want to, His Majesty is also a fellow believer, and Buddha Yin is ashamed of himself, but since His Majesty Xià can't be said, then you might as well listen to what Buddha Yin says about what can be said." ”

Baili Wuji felt a little proud in his heart, and he replied casually: "Princess Foyin, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Duan Foyin saw that the detour tactics in front failed. In order to prevent extraneous branches, she turned to the topic, and said: "Since the Ming court cannot send more officials into Dali. Buddha Yin has an idea, after the Dali State was incorporated into the Ming State, in order to solve the difficulty of the shortage of officials in the Dali State, all the officials of the state government were appointed by the Ming State, and the officials below the state government were appointed by the Duan family. ”

The smugness in Baili Wuji's heart instantly cooled, and he knew that Duan Foyin had begun to turn from a roundabout to a frontal battle.

Her words were very good. Leave high-ranking official positions to officials appointed by the Ming court, and keep lower-level official positions to yourself.

Anyone with a modicum of brains can understand that the foundation of political power lies at the grassroots level.

If the grassroots officials are in the hands of the Duan family. Then the state officials sent by the Ming court are equivalent to the commander of the bare pole and have become decorations.

This is absolutely impossible, and it is completely inconsistent with the interests of the Ming Kingdom.

Baili Wuji categorically refused: "The princess's proposal cannot be decided, and Ling Zun sincerely dedicates the land to the Ming Kingdom." How can I cross the river and tear down the bridge? Chilling Ling Zun's heart? I don't think it's as good as this, the number of officials needed in each state and county of Dali can be placed according to two people in the Ming Kingdom and one person from the Duan family, so how does the princess think? ”

Baili Wuji this law is considered seamless, and in the future, two-thirds of the officials in Dali from top to bottom are from Ming, so that Ming can completely control the power of Dali. At least, it won't be dominated by the Duan clan.

Duan Foyin listened. also thinks that Baili Wuji does not leak, but Baili Wuji forgot one thing, which made his words leak some facts that should not have been leaked.

Duan Foyin smiled, because she heard it, the Ming court was likely to be in civil strife, at least, not as monolithic as it appeared on the surface, combined with the riots in Zhongshu Province and Feng Dao's suicide a few days ago, Duan Foyin had reason to believe that Baili Wuji was in a difficult situation at the moment.

Baili Wuji's words inadvertently revealed the political pattern of Dali in the future, which is the second of the Ming State and the first of the Duan family, which clearly says that the number of officials really appointed to the Dali State by the Ming Dynasty is far less than the eighty percent mentioned above, but more than sixty percent, or even less.

In other words, the Duan clan will be able to decide more than thirty percent of the Dali officials.

And this was proposed by Baili Wuji.

Next, Duan Foyin decided to start attacking.

Duan Foyin said: "Since His Majesty's mind has been decided, Foyin will not speak in vain." The affairs of the officials should be done according to what His Majesty said, but Dali Mansion has always been the foundation of the Duan family, and the interests involved in the Duan family are too many, so please be considerate of Your Majesty and do not let the Ming army be stationed in the Dali Mansion. ”

Often, one side of the negotiation begins to make concessions, and the other side needs to make more or less concessions in response.

It's an unwritten rule.

Duan Foyin made concessions in the affairs of officials in exchange for Baili Wuji's concessions to the Ming army in Dali Mansion, and his mind could not be described as unscrupulous.

Baili Wuji looked at Duan Foyin and sighed again, he really underestimated her.

After pondering for a long time, Baili Wuji agreed.

It's not that Baili Wuji shows weakness, but Baili Wuji considers from the overall situation that the Duan family needs to stick to the foundation of Dali Mansion, if the persecution is too much and causes a backlash, it will affect his own reform of the country, whether it is energy or time, it will be involved.

Rather than this, it is better to appease the Duan clan and let it hold the foundation of Dali Mansion, in exchange for the Ming State's control of the situation in Dali State.

Dali Mansion is just a state of land, and it occupies too little land compared to the entire country of Dali.

As long as the Ming State controls the entire Dali Kingdom, even if the Dali Mansion is guarded by the Duan family, it is just a "country within a country", as long as Baili Wuji is willing, Dali Mansion will be under the Ming army at any time.

Baili Wuji picked the corner of his mouth and said, "The princess is scheming." However, I still agreed, as you wish, the Ming army will not enter Dali Mansion, but will only be stationed in Huichuan, Nongdong, Tengchong, Weichu, and Shanyan Five Mansions, each with 6,000 people. So, is the princess satisfied? ”

Duan Foyin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." In this way, the Buddha Yin can give ...... to his father. ”

Baili Wuji suddenly raised his hand to stop Duan Foyin from speaking, and he asked solemnly: "I want to ask, how many troops will Dali keep?" ”

Duan Foyin was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately understood the true intention of Baili Wuji wanting to know this, and she replied: "Back to Your Majesty, when my father sent Foyin to Jinling Mansion, he once said that the Dali army should maintain a scale of 50,000 people, I wonder if His Majesty can agree?" ”

Baili Wuji raised his head and thought for a while, then said categorically: "The Duan clan can only have a maximum of 30,000 troops, otherwise, I will send more Ming troops to Dali." ”

Duan Foyin was a little embarrassed, she knew that for the Duan family, the army was equivalent to the protection of interests, without the army, the Duan family and even the entire Dali were meat to be slaughtered on the board of the Ming Kingdom.

Duan Foyin asked tentatively, "Can Your Majesty be a little more tolerant?" 40,000, the Duan clan only retains 40,000 troops, and asks His Majesty for permission. ”

Baili Wuji was a little amused, and he asked, "Princess Foyin thinks that under the siege of the Ming army, how much difference is there between the 30,000 army and the 40,000 army?" (To be continued......)
