Luoyang.

This is a two-storey restaurant, which is very large and full of people.

Cao Chao sat by the window on the second floor, looking at the various crowds in the distance.

"When I first came here, this restaurant was just a small courtyard, and no more than six people could enter, an old man and his children."

"Now that old man is gone, the restaurant has become so big."

Ji Kang sat in front of Cao Chao, looking very interested.

This was the first time he had gone out with the emperor in private, and he was even a little excited.

With the completion of the great unification, these celebrities and scholars today are also exceptionally obedient, and the original negative and escapist thoughts are gradually being banned.

Even for people like Ji Kang, today's works are no longer centered on the negative.

He would occasionally write about the prosperity of Luoyang, sometimes he would write about the strength of the Great Wei army, and sometimes he was in a good mood, so he began to write about some mountains, rivers and rivers.

Many literati were influenced by him, and the works of celebrities and scholars also underwent great changes.

Of course, Cao Chao also contributed a lot to it, and he occasionally wrote some poems, and most of the content was heroic and heroic.

Cao Chao felt that he was single-handedly curbing the decadent trend of thought in the whole world.

Looking at Ji Kang who was looking out the window in a daze, Cao Chao said with a smile: "Yesterday, I saw the poem you wrote in the palace, and I was very excited, so I took you to dinner today." ”

"Among the Great Wei, if you talk about poetry, it must be Qing."

Ji Kang shook his head, "With Your Majesty here, how dare the minister say that he is the first?" Your Majesty has Chen Si's talent, which is really embarrassing for the minister."

Speaking of this, Cao Chao was a little ashamed.

Although Cao Chao also has literary talents, it is self-inflicted humiliation to say that he compares poetry with people like Ji Kang.

There are many talented people in the old Cao family, great-grandfather Cao is very good at operating, his eldest father Cao Pi's literary research is very powerful, and Zhong's eldest father Cao Zhi doesn't need to say much, this person's literary talent is well-known in the whole of China.

As soon as Luo Shen Fu came out, it was God who blocked and killed God

Cao Chao can't compare with them, and the same is true with Ji Kang, the reason why Ji Kang thinks he can compete with Chen Siwang is thanks to Li Taibai.

Ji Kang's style has changed dramatically over the years.

The poems that Cao Chao saw yesterday are the mountains and rivers poems written by Ji Kang, he wrote about Wangwu Mountain, and what he wrote is called a majestic, and that is called a heroic.

Cao Chao couldn't help but want to go over there for a walk after reading it.

Cao Chao said: "Originally, everyone wrote poems, but I didn't like them very much, most of them were sad words, either expressing that they could not be reused, or feeling that there were no virtuous people in the world, and they wanted to be indifferent to fame and fortune and hide in the mountains and forests."

"Today's poetry, I am finally willing to go and see it, it is also a scene, it used to be a lament, but now it is a praise, it is really different."

Ji Kang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the landscape is still the landscape of the past, it has not changed, it is the people who have changed." ”

"In the past, the Sima family was in power, they suppressed the world's virtuous talents, perverse acts, the people were not able to make a living, officials were corrupt, thieves were rampant, fish and meat villages, morality was degraded, leading beasts to eat people, and the sages were depressed, even if they were traveling in the mountains and rivers, how could they be proud?"

"Today, Your Majesty has reversed the situation, implemented great unification, purged the rule of officials, persuaded farmers to teach mulberry, educated barbarians, and pacified the people of the world, and this landscape will naturally become spectacular."

Cao Chao couldn't help but laugh.

In the field of literature, the era in which we live does affect the overall trend of thought.

Under such changes, the ideas of these literati are also gradually changing, and Cao Chao feels that in a few years, the original negative style of writing will be completely replaced by the current style of Ji Kang.

It really feels like the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday.

Cao Chao is very happy about this.

The two then chatted about the rest of the famous poems, and there are many poems today, and celebrities compose poems almost every day, and then go around publicizing them.

Ji Kang didn't really like these poems.

Just as the two were communicating, there was a commotion and commotion downstairs.

The two stopped and looked down through the window.

I saw a burst of cheers in the restaurant, everyone ran out, and some people poked their heads out to look out.

Cao Chao narrowed his eyes, and Ji Kang couldn't help but look at Cheng Ji on the side, "Cheng Jun, please go down and ask to see what's going on outside!" ”

Cheng Ji received the order and quickly went downstairs.

A moment later, he walked up.

"Your Majesty, I heard that it is a Futu monk from Chang'an, and his name is very strange."

Cao Chao was still a little stunned, but Ji Kang suddenly realized.

"Then I'll know."

"Oh?"

Ji Kang explained: "Your Majesty, I heard before that there was a floating monk called Zhu Fa Protector, this person is a native of the Yue clan, who has lived in Dunhuang for generations, and I heard that he had studied with the Tianzhu people, so he changed his surname to Zhu, this person is intelligent, can read the scriptures and recite ten thousand words a day, he is proficient in the Six Classics, dabbles in the sayings of a hundred schools, and knows the 36 Chinese languages of the Western Regions"

"I heard that he returned from the Western Regions with the scriptures, and was in Chang'an before, specializing in translating scriptures and teaching people"

As soon as Ji Kang said this, Cao Chao understood.

Oh, Tang Wei monk, right?

The co-author is a monk who came back from the scriptures.

Cao Chao frowned, not knowing what to think, but Ji Kang continued: "I heard that in this desolate place, there are many believers, and most of them call him the Moon Branch Bodhisattva Futu is the most widespread in the Western Regions.

Cao Chao suddenly asked, "Then in the Central Plains, how is the situation?" Are there many believers? ”

Ji Kang pondered for a moment, "I can't say too much, but it's not nothing."

Ji Kang suddenly looked at Cao Chao, "Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong?" ”

Cao Chao shook his head, "It's okay, since this Zhu Fa Protector is a master who is proficient in the Six Classics and knows a hundred schools of knowledge, I want to meet him." ”

Ji Kang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty!" The doctrine of this floating slaughter shall not enter the temple of worship."

Cao Chao laughed, "Gong Ji doesn't have to worry, I just want to ask about the situation in the Western Regions, as well as the situation in Tianzhu, hasn't he been to those places and is familiar with the local language?" ”

"There are a lot of people like him who can be proficient in many languages in the Western Regions and have been to Tianzhu, so let's do it, Chengji, you go and bring him over!"

Ji Kang hurriedly got up, "Your Majesty, let's go, if Chengjun goes, I'm afraid that this person won't be able to come completely."

Cao Chao nodded, and Ji Kang immediately walked out.

Cheng Ji said at this moment: "Your Majesty, these people are no different from Zhang Jiao and others at the beginning, they are all gathering believers and pulling them into the gang, I think this guy is the same as Zhang Jiao and the like, it is better to arrest him and execute him directly!" ”

Cao Chao glared at him.

"I finally found a talent who is proficient in the Western Regions and Tianzhu, and you want to take his life?"

Cheng Ji smiled and scratched his head, "Then it's not too late to kill after you finish asking." ”

Cao Chao glared at him and didn't speak again.

Too many temples are not a good thing for the world, and a large number of laborers have become non-farmers, just like the big clans, sitting in the local area, seizing land and money, so there have been many incidents in history when the emperor took the lead in suppressing Futu.

The period of the Two Jin Dynasty was indeed an era in which Futu entered the Central Plains on a large scale and rose rapidly.

Cao Chao ate and drank alone, and after waiting for a while, Ji Kang walked up with a person.

The guards led by Cao Chao blocked the door, blocking the good deeds outside, and those people found that they couldn't see anything, so they dispersed.

Cao Chao looked at the monk in front of him at this moment.

He has hair, but his hair is shorter, and he is not a familiar bald image, but it is such a short hair, which can cause onlookers in the Central Plains.

If it's bald, isn't it going to scare people to death?

He is not very old, his skin is dark, he looks like a dusty man, he is dressed very plainly, and the whole person is relatively thin.

He saluted Cao Chao.

"Meet the gentleman."

Cao Chao just looked at him and didn't answer.

This person was not angry, and stood calmly and calmly in front of Cao Chao.

Cao Chao suddenly asked, "I heard that you are proficient in the language and writing of the countries of the Western Regions, and there are also those over there in Tianzhu?" ”

The man said, "I understand a little." ”

"Then sit down."

"Don't dare."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty is already disrespectful if you don't kowtow in front of you, how dare you sit with Your Majesty?"

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment and looked at Ji Kang, who shook his head, "I didn't tell you." ”

Cao Chao was very curious, "How do you know my identity?" ”

"Your Majesty's appearance is extraordinary, he was born with an emperor's appearance, and he sits on the top position, which is terrifying"

"Tell the truth!"

Cao Chao interrupted him unceremoniously.

This person smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I know Ji Gong, who can let Ji Kang stand aside and serve, except for Your Majesty, I really can't think of anyone else." ”

Ji Kang laughed at this time, "What else did you say about the appearance of the emperor, did you deliberately coax Your Majesty?!" ”

Zhu Fahu hurriedly shook his head, "How dare you, I'm just afraid that Your Majesty will blame you."

Cao Chao beckoned, "Okay, you sit down." ”

Zhu Fahu was willing to take a seat.

Cao Chao suddenly asked: "I heard that there are many temples in the Western Regions and even Yongliang, and there are floating statues, if I see the floating slaughter, who should avoid whom?" ”

Zhu Fahu replied without thinking: "Naturally, it is Futu to avoid Your Majesty. ”

"Why?"

"Your Majesty is a great unification, appeases the common people in the world, and practices more benevolent government, this merit, the ancient sages should also avoid it, let alone Futu?"

Cao Chao was overjoyed.

"No wonder you have so many believers, this eloquence is really amazing, how many disciples do you have now?"

"I heard that when Zhang Jiao preached in various places, there were still more than 30 disciples who followed him, and your current disciples will not be less than him, right?"

Zhu Fahu only felt his legs tremble for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I have not taken apprentices."

"Oh? Have you ever taken an apprentice? ”

"Your Majesty, I am just translating the scriptures and telling the people of the world that I have never accepted disciples or done anything against the law."
