Chapter 161: A New Interpretation of Nothingness

Jiang Chenshui thought hard, not knowing how to answer.

And just then, a voice sounded.

"It's time!"

This is to remind Jiang Chenshui to answer as soon as possible.

If you can't answer, you can simply admit defeat.

Baoqing looked at Jiang Chenshui and said again: "Daoist Jiang, do you have an answer?" ”

"Nope." Jiang Chenshui shook his head: "However, I can't answer, it can only mean that my research on the Dao Law is not deep enough, which does not mean that the Dao Law cannot govern the country!" ”

This is basically the same as the empty goodness that left earlier.

"I can't answer, it's not that Taoism can't do it, but I can't do it, Taoism didn't lose, and I can continue to argue!"

"High in the Sky"

……

Jiang Chaoge heard Jiang Chenshui admit defeat, and he could only sigh in his heart, although this Jiang Chenshui is a genius, his understanding of the 'Dao' in his heart is too 'right'.

The question given by Baoqing is actually aimed at this point.

When you insist on the 'Tao Dharma' in your heart, you will not be able to answer this question.

Because, from the purpose of Taoism, the meaning of inaction is to 'go with the flow', simply put, the ruler formulates 'reasonable rules', and people develop themselves in reasonable rules, so that they do not interfere with each other, and people do not feel the oppression and exploitation of the ruler in their lives, and they will naturally have a sense of happiness.

To put it bluntly, it is to make people feel relaxed and free, and then, from the bottom of their hearts, they like the country, so that the country will naturally be strong.

But in fact, this idea is somewhat 'idealized'.

The concept of class, aristocracy has been passed down in this world for thousands of years, where is there a nobility that does not oppress the people? Where is the ruling class that does not exploit the people?

In fact, this is also the reason why among the kings of the previous life, there were Confucianism and law, but none of the kings reused Taoist ideas to govern the country.

After all, the Taoist concept of statecraft is, fundamentally, to make the king give up his 'authority'.

In this way, what king would dare to reuse Taoism?

Unless, this king has a pure heart and few desires, and is dedicated to cultivating immortals!

……

Jiang Chenshui retreated.

In this way, if the Daomen wants to argue again, he can only send a second person to the field.

Huo Lingzi looked at Mu Lingzi, and Mu Lingzi turned his head to look at Lei Lingzi, and Lei Lingzi looked at Wu Lingzi again......

Wu Lingzi looked at Jiang Chaoge, and then turned his head to look at Feng Lingzi.

Feng Lingzi opened his mouth, and finally, looked at Jin Lingzi.

Jin Lingzi opened his eyes and shook his head gently.

The meaning is obvious...... I can't answer this question, so if you want to answer it, go up and answer it.

Feng Lingzi was a little speechless: "Senior brother, do you have no solution?" ”

Jin Lingzi sighed: "Unless there is no action to change something, but 'Youwei' is the concept followed by Confucianism, which is the opposite of my Taoism in this regard." ”

Feng Lingzi understood.

Answering with 'promising' to safeguard the class interests of the ruler is self-solving, and it can also gain the affirmation of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Pingle and the nobles of Great Qin at the same time.

However, in this way, the Dao Gate is no longer the Dao Gate.

"If we choose to 'go against the grain' because of the founding of the country, this really can't be done!" Feng Lingzi gritted his teeth.

"If you can't answer, it's good to lose." Huo Lingzi naturally saw the problem: "The Buddha Gate also lost a game, what does it matter if our Dao Gate loses a game?" ”

"You can't afford to lose this one!" Feng Lingzi shook his head.

"Why?" Huo Lingzi was puzzled.

"If we can't answer this question, we won't be able to agree on the idea of establishing the Daomen as the state religion." Feng Lingzi explained.

"What disagrees? Didn't that river fish say it well when he was in Hanzhong County? said that as long as our Daomen is willing to return to the subordination, we will make our Daomen the state religion, and the emperor and the queen mother also agreed, is it because of a dialectic, this matter will be yellow? Huo Lingzi was not convinced.

"Huang ...... It shouldn't be yellow...... But it doesn't last long. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the emperor may still make our Daomen the state religion according to the agreement, but he will not give full support, and it is very likely that Buddhism will be changed to the state religion in the near future!"

He ...... How dare he?! ”

"Shut up!" Feng Lingzi's eyes glared fiercely: "Senior Brother Huo Lingzi, don't say this again!" ”

"Got it." Huo Lingzi also knew that this was inappropriate.

He's just plain upset.

Wu Lingzi heard the conversation between Feng Lingzi and Huo Lingzi, and he also knew the seriousness of the matter in his heart: "This Buddhism has sinister intentions, obviously it is just dialectic, but it uses such a method. ”

"Yes, if it is a simple dialectic, this question is not difficult to answer, but once it involves the matter of canonizing the Daomen as the state religion, this question is unsolvable."

Mu Lingzi also nodded: "If you use the law of the Daomen to argue, you will inevitably offend the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, but if you don't answer...... Although there will be no problem for the time being, it is difficult to say what the future holds. ”

"That's it, there's no other way, let's admit defeat on this question." Feng Lingzi gritted his teeth and made a choice: "In the future, we can only find a way to remedy it." ”

This is a stopgap measure as a last resort!

It is impossible for Daomen to make the Queen Mother and Her Majesty lose face in public because of the dialectics of a question.

After speaking, Feng Lingzi stood up: "Let me do the shameful thing, I, Feng Lingzi, will go up today to admit this question, but I want to see what other means Buddhism has next?" ”

Jiang Chaoge knew that there was really no way to do it.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak out to help, but after all, he is not a 'man in the Daomen'.

If it's up to him to answer...... What is this?

There is no way.

Although it was a little blunt, he could only start planning in advance.

So, when Feng Lingzi stood up, Jiang Chaoge opened his mouth to remind: "Wind Dao Chief, if you admit defeat on this question, I'm afraid that the matter of establishing a state religion in the Daomen will fall into a hidden danger, right?" ”

"Oh? Does Brother Jiang have a solution? Feng Lingzi immediately turned to Jiang Chaoge.

"Perhaps, you can use a trick 'Li Dai Taozhuang'." Jiang Chaoge replied.

"What's the explanation?"

"Borrow the mouth of others to solve problems for the Daomen." After Jiang Chaoge finished speaking, he pointed to the crowd.

That's where the students sit.

And the location that Jiang Chaoge refers to is the location where Jiang Yu'er is.

Feng Lingzi looked over, and his face changed obviously: "Brother Jiang means to let Jiang Yu'er answer?" However, he is a Confucian disciple, not a member of my Taoist sect? ”

"Haven't you heard of a thing that has been circulating in the capital in the past few days?"

"What Brother Jiang said is...... Jiang Yu'er traveled to the fairy world for 20 years in her dream? When Feng Lingzi heard this, he seemed to think of something.

"That's right, since he has traveled to the immortal world for twenty years, he should naturally be familiar with the Daomen, if he can't answer, it's not too late for the Daomen to admit defeat?"

"That's the truth, but in fact...... Brother Jiang knows, the last time we negotiated with him, it was not too pleasant, how can you be sure that he will help me? ”

"It was proposed by him that the Daomen should be established as the state religion!" Jiang Chaoge smiled.

"Yes...... Reasonable! Feng Lingzi's eyes lit up.

As a member of the 'White Prostitution World', he doesn't have too much identity burden, as long as he can solve this difficulty, he is very willing to lower his body and go to Bai Jiang Yu'er once.

So, he stood up.

Out of the crowd.

……

The students and clan disciples immediately turned their gaze to Feng Lingzi.

And Feng Lingzi looked like a fairy wind dao bone, carrying his hands behind his back, first bowed to Baoqing, and then slowly spoke.

"Poor Dao Feng Lingzi, I want to ask Master Baoqing where he is cultivating now?"

"Four Realms." Baoqing answered truthfully.

"So it's just the Four Realms?" Feng Lingzi's face showed a disdainful expression: "Poor Dao is the same age as Master Baoqing, but now he is the Yin God of the Six Realms. ”

"Hehe, since it's a dialectic, naturally regardless of the realm, the wind path chief has now stood up, does it mean that my question has been answered?" Baoqing glanced at Feng Lingzi, neither humble nor pit.

"It seems that Master Baoqing didn't understand the meaning of the poor way?" Feng Lingzi smiled: "Poor Dao means that this problem may not need to be solved by Poor Dao. ”

"Oh? Is there still a genius in the Daomen? "Baoqing probably understood.

Feng Lingzi didn't say anything more, and spoke directly to Jiang Yu'er: "I heard that Imperial Envoy Jiang has traveled to the fairy world for twenty years in a dream, have you ever seen the ancestor of my Dao Sect in a dream?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the students and the children of the clan all looked at Jiang Yu'er.

Not only them, but also Emperor Pingle and the Queen Mother all looked over.

Jiang Yu'er could only stand up: "If you return to the wind and say that the Taoist is long, I did meet the ancestor of the Daomen 'Lao Tzu' in my dream, and I got some guidance, but now I am a student and a Confucian, although I have an answer in my heart, but I can't say it." ”

There is a ...... This sentence is the point!

When the other Jixia students and clan disciples heard this, they were all surprised, Jiang Chenshui, the youngest genius of the Dao Sect, couldn't answer, Jiang Yu'er actually had an answer in his heart?

Could it be that the rumor is really true?!

Feng Lingzi's eyes were even brighter, if he could really let Jiang Yu'er help Daomen solve the problem, it wouldn't matter if he lost some face.

So, he spoke again: "But Poor Dao remembers that when Imperial Envoy Jiang was in Hanzhong County, he once said that only when a hundred schools of thought returned to Ji, Daqin could become strong, in that case, why should there be a distinction between Confucianism and Taoism?" Wouldn't it be better to just think that this was a hundred cuts? ”

"Well, that makes sense."

"That's right, Buddhism just wants to communicate with a hundred schools, Jiang Yu'er stepped forward to answer, it doesn't seem to be inappropriate, right?"

"Yes, yes, besides, it seems that Jiang Yu'er's proposal to establish Daomen as the state religion, in this case, he should always have a reason to establish Daomen as the state religion, right?"

When the others heard this, they all nodded.

Of course, there is a more important reason why they are like this, that is, everyone wants to see with their own eyes the harvest of Jiang Yu'er after twenty years of traveling in the fairy world.

Baoqing snorted coldly at this moment: "Have you traveled to the fairy world for twenty years?" Hehe, if Imperial Envoy Jiang really has an answer to this question, please tell it, my Buddhism will not feel that there is anything wrong. ”

When Jiang Yu'er heard this, he could only be helpless; of them stood up.

However, he did not answer Baoqing's question immediately, but turned to the carriage where Emperor Pingle was sitting: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions, can you answer this question?" ”

A voice came from Emperor Pingle's carriage: "I, allowed?" ”

The Queen Mother was silent and did not speak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Yu'er returned the salute.

However, he didn't step out, but stood on the spot and replied: "What Master Baoqing just said is that the inaction of the Daomen is to make the people feel that the ruler does not exist, and I don't agree with this too much. ”

"Oh?" Baoqing smiled: "I heard that Imperial Envoy Jiang is a Confucian, and Confucianism pays attention to 'ruling by doing', then, what Imperial Envoy Jiang said, can the poor monk think that Imperial Envoy Jiang thinks that 'doing' is more appropriate than 'doing nothing'?" ”

"Master Baoqing doesn't need to deliberately 'distort ideas' here, or provoke Taoist and Confucian ideas to argue, what I want to talk to Master Baoqing about now is just inaction!"

"......" Baoqing's face turned cold: "Okay, then ask Imperial Envoy Jiang to answer, how can Wuwei be applied to the governance of national politics?" ”

"I said, I only replied that I did nothing, not to talk about national politics!" Jiang Yu'er continued: "Why is Buddhism so obsessed with Taoist inaction that must be used to govern the country? I suggested that Daqin establish Daomen as the state religion, just because Daomen was willing to serve the country and expel demons and evil things. ”

When Jiang Yu'er said this, he no longer gave Baoqing a chance to speak, but continued: "The inaction of the Daomen only needs to be aimed at the Daomen, the so-called inaction and rule, that is, the Daomen conforms to the way of heaven and does not change the general trend of the world, so this inaction refers to the inaction of the Daomen, not the inaction of the ruler!"

It means that the Daomen only needs to assist the ruler to act, and it is possible to do nothing, but the monarch does not need to do nothing, because Daqin has always ruled the country by law, and there is a minister Han who handles national affairs carefully, and His Majesty and the Queen Mother preside over the supervision, which has always been the reason why my Great Qin is strong.

At this point, my Great Qin is indeed different from the countries of the Western Regions, because there is only one Buddhism in the Western Regions, but my Great Qin is the director of a hundred schools, the sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance! ”

As soon as these words came out.

The students and the disciples of the sect were all stunned in place.

Then came a tsunami of cheers.

"That's right, my Daqin was originally the director of a hundred schools, which is also the reason why a hundred schools have returned to Jiji, Jiang Yu'er's debate is really good!"

"Not only did it answer Baoqing's question, but it also made clear the real purpose of this hundred lectures!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

The crowd cheered.

And Feng Lingzi took a deep breath.

This river fish......

It's just a ghost!

If the Taoist does nothing, the ruler will not feel threatened...... It's easier for rulers to feel safe!

With this answer, the matter of Taoism being established as the state religion will no longer be worry-free!

Because any ruler will want his subordinates to 'do nothing', so that they will not have ambition and will not compete for power.
