Chapter 104: Fame Spreads (Part II)
I didn't sleep all night, I coded words all night, and two chapters came out to accompany the sin, and then I went to sleep
"Thirty years of searching for swordsmen, a few times back leaves and branches. Since I saw the peach blossoms, I have no doubt about it until now! Fang Xin suddenly thought of this inexplicably, he smiled, and prepared to leave.
"Amitabha, donor, be polite!" At this time, the monk seemed to have finished reciting, bowed his head slightly, and pronounced a Buddha name.
"Courteous." Fang Xin said indifferently.
"Donor, please come in and serve tea." The monk said.
"It's good!" Fang Xin hesitated for a moment, then replied. When he got inside, it was a little monk who stepped forward to serve tea, Fang Xin looked at it, and saw that this little monk was not tall, but his breath was long, and between movement and quiet, he had his own bearing, but he didn't know what kind of method to practice, Fang Xin didn't care, took it, took a sip, the fragrance entered the spleen, and he secretly praised it in his heart, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" ”
"Sanping Mountain is not high, but there are also a few tea trees, and the old man will also take care of some and pick some to drink when the time comes, so as to entertain the VIPs." The monk said.
"VIP? What kind of VIP am I? Moreover, before Buddhism, all living beings were one, and it was not good to talk about high or low! Fang Xin also said it casually.
"That's what the donor said." The monk spoke plainly, and did not explain. As soon as this sentence came out, Fang Xin couldn't help but glance at him.
Fang Xin took another sip of tea, and when he saw that a wall was hanging in the room, he got up and looked. The content of the record is a "Diamond Sutra".
At this time, it can be seen everywhere, but this pen is very clumsy, and with an elegant wind, but it is a masterpiece.
I secretly praised it in my heart, so I stepped forward to watch it carefully. In other words, when it comes to this kind of effort, this closer look is almost equivalent to copying, and I only feel that I have benefited a lot.
Until I read it carefully, it was half an hour. As soon as I turned around, I saw the monk again. The monk was closing his eyes and meditating again, without the slightest hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction, and said with a smile: "Still ask the monk the Dharma number?" ”
"Monk Shizhi!" The monk replied. And the little monk, under the porch outside, had a small red clay stove, rebrewing tea, and the faint fragrance of tea floated in the room.
At this time, the afternoon sun was shining, and it was September again. The scenery was light, Fang Xin smiled and said, "Monk, you really have some foundation!" With that, he went out, and there should be someone waiting outside.
Walked on the trail. Enjoy the surrounding scenery all the way, right now. A leisurely bell rings, ringing in a curling way, and the empty mountain bell rings, spreading far and wide.
"Master, why are you so courteous to this person?" Through the window, seeing that Fang Xin was really far away, the little monk couldn't hold back any longer, and asked.
"You don't understand? Just now, the man asked, why are you so cheap, and what do you think? The monk glanced at this apprentice who had met his expectations, smiled slightly, and cast his eyes into the distance, where white light rose to the sky, and there was purple qi in it.
"Nature is empty, how can it be noble and cheap." The little monk said achi.
"Self-nature is empty, but those who drink tea are not self-nature, naturally there are high and low, and Buddhism has the luck of rise and fall, otherwise, Buddha, how can you say that the Fa-rectification is like the Fa-rectification for a thousand years, and the end of the Dharma is 10,000 years?" The monk's faint voice filled the room: "One religion and one sect, the rise and fall are still there, and it is because of this that there are noble and low." Hearing this, the little monk pondered and asked: "Buddhism says that there are many great virtues, why is there still a rise and fall?" ”
"Becoming a dwelling is bad and empty. In this way, since this Fa has fallen into the world, it is naturally bound by the world. Although the monk's words were faint, listening to the little monk's ears suddenly made him brighten.
"Even if it is the supreme law, everything that comes out will be destroyed, so the supernatural power is not as good as karma."
"Then how can the Dharma be preached in the world, and how can it be extended so that it can be widely listened to by all sentient beings?" The little monk suddenly asked: "I also see that the white light is shrouded, and the purple qi is condensed, but it is not the nature, so what is the weight?" ”
"Relying on great strength, universal merit, and self-righteousness." After speaking, the monk closed his eyes and said no more. Fang Xin handled it indifferently, but the original intention of benevolence and propriety had already spread.
…… Lu Fu ...... When the door opened, Yan Min entered the room and asked for a little peace, but saw Lu Hou holding a book in his hand and was groaning, and when he saw him come in and salute, he said to himself: "Is there any news?" Yan Min saw that his expression was calm, so he said, "It's already here." ”
"Say it!"
"Yes, on August 16, the 18th year of Mingwen, Guming County was broken, Guming County ordered Zheng Yongze to be captured, and then hanged, Guming County Cheng Qiao Jieying escaped from the battle, and was arrested by the political envoy and cut his official position."
"Well, this person is dead, I know Cui Han's character, when I get there, the first thing I do is to kill these people to respect military law." Lu Hou said calmly, paused, and said, "Go on." ”
"Yes, Qi Zhiqing, the county lieutenant of Guming County, was killed on the spot, and the officials in other counties are the same, but the four people related to Lord Li have fled and are coming from Jiangfu."
"These four people, have you found out?"
"I checked, they are all children in the neighborhood, but they are strange, gathered together, and they are called by the surname Dai." Yan Min replied respectfully: "The reason is not clear. Lu Hou put down the paper and said, "That's it, then that's it, and, how is the current situation of this book?" ”
"Back to Luhou, the book has been passed out, and it has been commented on by many scholars, but this book directly mentions benevolence and courtesy, and does not mention loyalty and forgiveness, which is a defect." Yan Min thought about it and said.
Zigong said: "Who has a word that can be practiced for life? Confucius said, "It is forgiving." Zi said: "See! I have been consistent. Zeng Zi said: "Only! When the son went out, the doorman asked, "What do you mean?" Zeng Zi said: "The way of the master is only loyalty and forgiveness." In fact, the focus is loyalty, which is to obey the interests and laws of the court and the emperor, in fact, it is to obey the principles of the Legalists and the will of the monarch.
However, in fact, Confucius did not directly say loyalty and forgiveness
"Who has a word that can be done for life?"
"It's forgiven!" Zeng Zi said: "The way of the master is only loyalty and forgiveness." This is actually just Zengzi's opinion that forgiveness is part of benevolence, and, in fact, it cannot be directly quoted, the key is that Confucius's background at that time, almost like the exiles, did not have any power, so he practiced it all his life, it is this forgiveness, not that the great benevolence is not unwilling to do the great benevolence, but it is really impossible to practice the great benevolence!
Lecture notes, in the ancient classics, the slightest difference can be a thousand miles away, and the past dynasties ruled the world, but deliberately so, so there are often Confucians to claim: "As long as you leave the word loyalty, you will also leave the word benevolence!" This naturally welcomed the ruler's mind, and later, he didn't even mention benevolence, but only said loyalty and forgiveness, of course, for the ruler, loyalty itself is the law, that is, etiquette, as for benevolence, this word forgiveness is very appetizing, forgiveness this meaning, in essence, is very based on high and low ranks.
I am willing to forgive you, it is grace, unwilling, it is also the law of the country, you can do whatever you want, whether it is thunder, or rain and dew, it is the grace of heaven, and it is also a grace to kill your whole family, but if you are unfaithful, this is absolutely impossible.
And now the "Theory of the Original Intent of Benevolence" is closely linked
"Renli", although it is the right way, but in the Shilin world, it is naturally silent for a while, which is not in line with the taste of the ruler, before the emperor speaks, those who are smart, who dare to talk loudly?
This, Lu Hou naturally knew it, he smiled, and said: "It's a defect, but it depends on his luck, but I heard that this son is in full swing now?" Yan Min listened and responded: "Yes!" "But I was also secretly strange in my heart, according to reason, this book had already been sent to the imperial capital, why was the court delayed, and no one came out?
The imperial court has always attached great importance to the transmission of books and the writing of books.
"Then it depends on where he goes, although he is flawed, but after all, it is right, and there is still no questioning." Lu Hou said indifferently, he said with a smile: "It's just how widely it spreads, it's over, let's go out for a walk!" Yan Min was stunned for a moment, this kind of change in the mind of the superior is impossible to speculate, but as a subordinate, you have to work hard, at the moment, steady steps, followed, walked on the side of Lu Hou, and took a step back.
Lu Hou was a little careless, slowly moved his steps, walked through the courtyard, and finally, stood still on the stone steps, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Yan, how many years have you been in my mansion?" ”
"Ah, it's been eleven years."
"Eleven years is not too short." Lu Hou seemed to be a little emotional, stared down and said, for a long time, he sighed: "Since you followed me, you have done a lot of things and suffered a lot. With an indescribable smile, he said slowly: "There is merit and hard work, you say, how should Benhou reward you?" Yan Min's heart sank suddenly, it was the first time he heard this tone, it seemed to be a compliment, and with an ominous aura, he hurriedly replied: "Hou Ye is as kind to me as a mountain, I should do something, how dare Hou Ye praise and reward?" ”
"Well, it's good that you have this heart." Lu Hou's eyes were dark, he waited for a while, and said, "Then you go down and do things well." ”
"Yes!" Yan Min's cold sweat oozed out, and he responded.
