Of course, Jiang Yu'er has no soldiers and horses, he only has a few clones.

A squad at best.

However, he had his own plan, and this plan naturally needed the help of Emperor Pingle, so he said: "Your Majesty should know about the upcoming entry of Buddhism into Beijing?" ”

"Yes, do you want to ......?"

"Between Buddhism and Taoism, there is likely to be a 'dialectic', perhaps, we can take advantage of this opportunity!" Jiang Yu'er spoke her mind.

"What do you want to do? Do you want me to negotiate with Buddhism in private? Emperor Pingle nodded, as if thinking of something: "But, I don't know what the Buddha Sect wants?" Moreover, if the conditions of the Buddhist gate are too harsh, the queen mother may not agree, right? ”

"Direct negotiations are not the best approach."

"And what do you mean?"

"Actually, it's very simple, as long as the Buddhists see the strength of my Great Qin, then they will naturally make a 'wise' choice at a critical moment."

"I see." Emperor Pingle came to his senses: "It seems that Imperial Envoy Jiang already has a plan, what do you need me to do?" I will fully cooperate. ”

"First ......"

……

Time flies.

Three days later, the envoy group of the Buddhist Gate of the Western Regions came to the gate of the capital Xianyang.

Such a group of monks pulling scriptures and wearing robes naturally attracted the attention of the people.

In particular, one of the huge white elephants attracted the attention of the people.

It was a giant elephant with a two-story loft high and a snow-white body, two white tusks inlaid with golden buckles, and a Buddha statue full of Western culture carved on it.

Moreover, above the white elephant, there is a young man in a bright yellow robe who is sitting on it with his eyes slightly closed.

It is the Bodhisattva of Buddhism.

White elephants, bodhisattvas, plus the unique music of the Western Regions.

It's hard to keep the crowd watching.

"Look, what a big white elephant!"

"I heard that the Bodhisattva of the Buddha Gate sitting on this white elephant is so powerful!"

"yes, yes...... Never seen someone can sit on top of a white elephant. ”

The crowd talked a lot, and they all cast reverent eyes.

At this time, the empty phase sat in an open carriage, closely following the white elephant, and he knew that the intention of the Buddha to establish a 'sacred' image had basically been achieved.

"Amitabha!"

A loud Buddha horn came out of Fugen's mouth.

As if they had been 'inspired' in some way, the crowd immediately folded their hands and bowed to Fugen, their faces full of piety.

An attic.

Feng Lingzi straightened the dark colored Taoist robe on his body, and looked at Fuxian on the white elephant with a slight frown.

And opposite him, there were Jiang Chaoge and Wu Lingzi.

"It seems that the person who came was not good." Feng Lingzi snorted softly: "To be able to forcibly inspire the people with Buddhism, the cultivation of this universal virtuous is unfathomable." ”

"The Western Regions are vast, although they are not as good as my Great Qin, but there are many countries and endless battles, but Buddhism is a single country, and its prestige is even higher than that of the kings of the Western Regions, so naturally it has its means." Jiang Chaoge picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip.

Wu Lingzi was a little curious: "Brother also has an understanding of the culture of the Western Regions?" ”

"Well, I've traveled to the Western Regions, so I know a little." Jiang Chaoge nodded lightly.

Feng Lingzi snorted coldly again: "Most of the Buddhism of the Western Regions Buddhism is passed on to my Daomen orthodoxy, Brother Jiang to understand the Dharma, it is better to understand the Dao Law directly." ”

Jiang Chaoge smiled.

Feng Lingzi's words are not unforgiving, many of the scriptures of Buddhism do originate from Taoism, and even in the legend of "Fengshen", many powerful "Buddhas" in Buddhism were originally Taoist cultivators.

It seems that in any world...... The battle between Buddhism and Taoism is inevitable.

Jiang Chaoge did not delve into this issue, but asked casually: "I heard that Daoist Jin Lingzi has agreed to return to Jixia, I don't know when I will be able to get to the capital?" ”

"It should be in the past one or two." Wu Lingzi thought for a while and said, "I came with Senior Brother Jin Lingzi, and Senior Sister Lei Lingzi, but it's a pity that Senior Brother Tu Lingzi ...... him."

At the mention of Jin Lingzi, Wu Lingzi thought of the fall of Tu Lingzi again, and his mood seemed to be a little low.

Jiang Chaoge could only say: "Little sister, don't worry, we will definitely be able to avenge Tu Lingzi's revenge." ”

"Hmm." Wu Lingzi nodded, and his face regained his calm: "Brother, do you have any other opinions about the Buddha's entry into Beijing this time?" ”

"It's called dialectics, but it's actually robbing the state religion!" Jiang Chaoge replied calmly.

"Hmph." Feng Lingzi took a sip of tea: "They don't think about it!" ”

The three of them were chatting.

A young man who was also wearing a dark robe walked over.

First gave a salute to Feng Lingzi: "Jiang Chenshui, I've seen Uncle Feng!" ”

After speaking, he bowed to Wu Lingzi again: "Apprentice Jiang Chenshui, meet Master." ”

"Well, get up." Wu Lingzi stood up, helped Jiang Chenshui up, and pointed at Jiang Chaoge: "This is the elder brother of the teacher, called Jiang Chaoge." ”

Brother? Jiang Chenshui was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Chaoge, who was younger than him in front of him, his face looked quite strange.

However, he still quickly said, "Jiang Chenshui, I've seen Uncle Jiang." ”

"My nephew is polite." Jiang Chaoge felt a little funny in his heart, but he still looked like a master on the surface: "I didn't know that my master and nephew came, but I didn't prepare any meeting gifts." ”

Generally speaking, this is 'polite', and some of the meeting gifts will be given.

But after Jiang Chaoge finished speaking, he didn't make any moves.

Jiang Chenshui's expression was stunned again, and then he replied respectfully: "Uncle Shi is an elder, Jiang Chenshui doesn't dare." ”

When Wu Lingzi saw this, he beckoned Jiang Chenshui to sit down: "When the master was worshipping Jin Lan with his brother in Hanzhong County, there was also a third brother named Jiang Erlang, who was the golden banner of the Night Investigation Division. ”

"Yes......" Jiang Chenshui nodded silently.

Jiang Erlang's name...... He'd heard it.

If Jiang Chaoge's age is concerned, he is not sure, but he knows Jiang Erlang's age very well, it is really younger than him.

Of course, as a disciple, he has no choice but to accept it.

After Feng Lingzi saw that Wu Lingzi finished saying the words of the introduction, he spoke: "Chenshui, you are the youngest genius of my Dao Sect, and we called you here this time because we have something to prepare for you......

"Is it a matter of Buddhism and Taoism dialectic?"

"Yes." Feng Lingzi nodded: "This time the Buddhism Sect sent a Bodhisattva over, but there is also a genius of the Buddhism Sect called 'Void Phase', you should understand what we mean?" ”

"Well, Jiang Chenshui understands."

……

……

The Western Regions Buddhism Gate entered Beijing, representing the countries of the Western Regions this time.

Daqin naturally treats each other with 'national courtesy'.

Therefore, after the Buddhist delegation entered the capital, they arrived at the gate of the palace as soon as possible.

Xiangguo Han Shen personally led hundreds of officials to greet each other, and then, he took Fuxian Bodhisattva, Baozhi and Kongxiang into the palace together, and met with the Empress Dowager Yuan and Emperor Pingle to win Qi.

After receiving the 'national letter' handed over by Fuxian, the Queen Mother spoke: "Buddhism entered Beijing this time, it was the right time, I Daqin is trying to establish Taoism as the state religion, I heard that Buddhism and Taoism have a long history, when Fuxian Bodhisattva arrives, maybe you can go to a look." ”

When Fuxian heard this, he folded his hands with a calm expression and said: "Daomen and Buddhism do have some origins, and the Queen Mother and the emperor are warm, and Buddhism does not dare to disobey." ”

There is no intention of 'fighting'.

The Queen Mother smiled: "Okay, then please ask Fuxian Bodhisattva to stay in the capital more, and at the same time, take a good look at the terroir and culture of my Daqin." ”

"Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Emperor!" Fuxian saluted again, and then said: "However, the Central Plains has always paid attention to 'courtesy and exchange', and my Buddha also intends to take this opportunity to learn the culture of Daqin, exchange ideas, and jointly explore the way to save the world." ”

"Oh? How does Fugen Bodhisattva want to communicate with him? "The Queen Mother naturally knows what Fuxian means.

"I heard that the culture of the Central Plains all originated from Jixia, and recently the hundred schools of thought have returned to Jixia, and my Buddha means that if possible, I want to participate in the exchange of hundreds of schools." Fuxian said calmly.

"What?!"

Some officials couldn't hold back and were surprised.

The Queen Mother's face was also a little strange, because, listening to Fuxian's meaning...... The purpose of entering Beijing this time turned out to be to use Buddhism to fight against the hundred schools?

This is obviously a bit different from the 'Buddhist dialectic' she originally envisioned.

But the Queen Mother is dignified after all.

In addition to being surprised, she still replied: "There are hundreds of schools of thought, each with its own strengths, Buddhism and Taoism have a relationship, is it appropriate to communicate with Taoism first?" ”

"The Queen Mother misunderstood my Buddha." Fuxian shook his head: "My Buddha only wants to spread the Dharma, since all the sons and hundreds of schools have their own talents, of course, they must communicate together, so as to reflect the tolerance and compassion of my Buddha." ”

Arrogant!

This was the first thought of all the officials after listening to Fugen's words.

The Queen Mother obviously gave the Buddha Gate steps, but the Buddha Gate still insisted on challenging the hundred schools with one family, and wanted to cover a hundred laws with one law, what is this not arrogance?

No wonder when the Queen Mother said just now that she wanted to establish 'Taoism' as the state religion, Fuxian showed that she didn't mind.

"The Great Age of Genes"

If Buddhism really 'dominates the debate' in a hundred schools, then it is not ...... The establishment of the Dao Sect as the state religion of Great Qin will become a joke.

The Queen Mother's face appeared in contemplation.

Because this is not what she imagined, or rather, it is not what everyone expected.

However, now that Buddhism has made such a request in the court, and it is coming as an envoy of the Western Regions, how can Great Qin lose his etiquette and refuse?

Xiangguo Han Shen was also frowning at this time.

He finally understood why Buddhism chose to enter Beijing at this time.

……

Fuxian waited for a while, did not get a reply, then put his hands together again, announced a Buddha name, and then said: "Three hundred years ago, the first emperor gathered hundreds of schools under the Ji, my Buddhism because of the far away in the Western Regions, did not have the honor to participate, today there is this opportunity for the hundred schools to return to the Ji, my Buddha really does not want to miss it, and I hope that the Queen Mother and the Emperor of Great Qin can allow." ”

The queen mother's phoenix eyes looked at the silent officials below.

Han Shen knew that he couldn't 'sit and ignore the courtesy' anymore, so he could only stand up: "Buddhism wants to communicate with the hundred schools, this is a good thing, it's just that now there are still a few of the hundred schools of thought that have not yet arrived, and I am the state of etiquette in Daqin, and this matter still needs to be discussed with the hundred schools before I can give the Buddha a reply." ”

When Fuxian heard this, he smiled: "The shore of the land, it is not the king's land, the Central Plains is the land of Daqin, and the hundred schools of thought are naturally of Daqin, and my Buddha is willing to wait for the reply of the Empress Dowager and the emperor of Daqin." ”

This is a very high level.

Although it seems that he is willing to wait, the meaning is obvious......

If Da Qin doesn't agree, it means that Da Qin can't control the world and the hundreds of schools.

Han Shen's brows furrowed even deeper.

Just as he was about to say something more, he saw the Queen Mother wave her hand at him.

So, Han Shen retreated.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Fuxian Bodhisattva can visit the Jixia School Palace first, as for the exchange with the hundred schools, I Daqin will naturally give a satisfactory answer to the Buddhism." ”

"Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Your Majesty the Emperor!" Fuxian bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Then, he took the monk Baozhi and the empty phase out of the main hall together.

……

Inside the temple.

After seeing the three of Fuxian go out.

The civil and military officials were a little unable to stand and spoke one after another.

"This Buddhism is too arrogant, isn't it?"

"Do they want to treat my Great Qin as the countries of the Western Regions?"

"The intention is obvious, Buddhism wants to take the opportunity of the return of the hundred schools of thought to suppress the hundred schools with Buddhism, so that I will only have one Buddhism in the future!"

"Hmph, my Great Qin uses the law to rule the country, what is the use of Buddhism's Buddhism?"

"Ridiculous."

The civil and military officials were obviously unhappy.

After all, there are 'Legalists' and 'Confucians' in this court.

When Buddhism makes such a request, it actually doesn't take them into account.

The Queen Mother listened to the discussions of the hundreds of officials below, and the expression on her face was actually a little uncomfortable, but when countries intersect, there are some things that you can't refuse if you are uncomfortable.

After Han Shen heard the meaning of the hundred officials, he also spoke again: "Queen Mother, what do you mean by the minister...... It is better to let the Taoist and Buddhist sects debate the law first. ”

In fact, a few days ago, Jiang Yu'er and Luo Yu went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

I also discussed with him about the 'dialectic' between the Taoist gate and the Buddhist gate.

It's just that no one thought that Buddhism would suddenly change its hexagram and no longer target the Daomen, but want to compete with the hundred schools of thought at the same time.

The Queen Mother actually knows the significance of this matter.

Just waiting to speak......

Emperor Pingle, who had been silent, opened his mouth: "The culture of the hundred schools of thought is the foundation of my Daqin culture, and my Daqin should have this self-confidence, and the hundred schools of thought will not lose to Buddhism." ”

"But ......"

"Your Majesty has a point." The Queen Mother also looked at Emperor Pingle for the first time at this time, and a pair of phoenix eyes flashed with bright light: "Since Buddhism wants to communicate with the hundred schools, what if you follow their intentions?" Could it be that Confucianism, Taoism, and Legalism, which have been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years...... The inheritance of the hundred schools of thought is not as good as a Buddhism? ”

“……”

In a word.

None of the civil and military officials said anything more.

Although he knows the intentions of Buddhism, as Emperor Pingle and the Queen Mother said, Daqin cannot lose etiquette, let alone cultural self-confidence!
