Chapter 300: Cultivation is not enough
Shu Yu heard the argument between Shu Min and those children of the family, and already understood what was going on in his heart, and when they finished venting, he slowly walked to the stone steps in front of the main hall, his face solemn.
The disciples of the family also knew that Shu Yu was going to speak, so they all quieted down and looked at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu nodded and said, "I already know the reason why you gathered today.
"There are a few points I want to say, first, this world is not a comfortable nest, Qifengcheng is not, Yunzhou is not, and the calligrapher is not!
"Since the world is uneasy, it is a good thing for us, which can inspire our heroic righteousness, to serve the country with loyalty, and to help the world!
"The piano is uneven in the box, and the phoenix flies when it waits in the sycamore! Heaven and earth have righteousness, and they are mixed with manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. Yu people say Haoran, full of gloom. When the poor festival is seen, one by one!"
Such words first woke up many people, and some of the disciples of the family had quietly lowered their heads.
Shu Yu watched, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"Second, good birds fold trees and perch, your ancestors back then, before following the calligrapher to retreat, had a lot of opportunities to choose to be loyal to the imperial court. If the word 'loyalty' is spoken, loyalty to the calligrapher is far from reaching, and loyalty to the court is the ultimate loyalty.
"But why did your ancestors still follow the calligrapher here? It must be that the calligrapher has its own satisfaction and admiration, the calligrapher has developed from thousands of years to the present, let me ask the entire Dawu country, which family has such strength?
"A gentleman chooses an opportunity, and those who know the times are Junjie, since your ancestors have made a choice, it is time for you to make a choice. Now that Emperor Wu Jinlong has issued an order, he will not obey it, but there will be resistance, and the whole country will be annihilated, and this is the dignity of imperial power! This is also the best time for my good man to be loyal to the country, to fight in all directions, and to establish meritorious deeds! You only see danger, can you see the opportunity? If you don't have any courage, why mention your ancestors to shame them?"
Saying this, many disciples of the family bowed their heads one after another, and their faces were full of shame.
Many of them are proud of the merits of their ancestors, and their arrogance is suppressed by a few words.
Shuli and Zheng Wenqi both looked at Shuyu on the steps, and they were secretly in their hearts.
His remarks, starting with Confucianism's heroic righteousness, first suppressed the general trend in Confucian morality, and then boosted morale in the virtue of "loyalty" and the meritorious deeds of "conquest".
Shu Yu looked around, nodded, shamed and courageous, and saw that there were those who had suddenly awakened, secretly relieved, and continued:
"Third, if you think that the calligrapher only opens his mouth and does not make a difference, then you are mistaken. The imperial court and Emperor Dawu fancy you children of a weak and struggling declining family? Wrong!
"What they value is the loyalty of the calligrapher to the court of Emperor Wu since ancient times, the accumulation of the calligrapher's conscientious and thrifty governance for thousands of years, and the unique family strength and huge foundation of the Great Wu Kingdom!
"Therefore, the scholar family will not let you children of the family die in vain, and my scholar will send all the elite children of the family to lead you to Junzhou, and listen to the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Dazhu Kingdom.
"If you want to die, my scholar boy will take the lead bravely, and if you want to live, I will have my scholar boy to block the sword!"
As soon as these words came out, the disciples of the family standing underground were ashamed and angry.
They already had some of the glory and arrogance of their ancestors, and some of them had set ambitions, but the worldly ties are like a quagmire, and they will be forgotten after a long time.
At this time, the words were radicalized, and suddenly someone blushed and shouted: "Glory to the ancestors, for me to take the lead!
Immediately, the crowd was excited, the momentum was huge, and the majestic voice shook the sky.
Shu Yu pinched his beard and nodded with a smile, and after a while, he pressed his palm, suddenly pointed to Shuli, and said:
"Don't say that after the scholar is willing to be a man, the old man sent his only son, Shuli, to Junzhou to fight on the battlefield!
Shuli's pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart was cold, he never thought that his father would arrange it like this, knowing that he would devote himself to Buddhism, and let himself exterminate Buddhism!
He was furious in his heart, but now this scene was unbearable, so he had to forcibly endure it, but his face was pale, his fists were clenched, and the green snake sword in his waist flickered, and he was very uneasy.
Next, Shuli was resentful in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to how Shumin and Shuyu discussed the departure matter, how to post a city list to appease the people and calm down the people's grievances, how Shumin set up a banquet to catch the wind, and how he sent everyone back to the mountain, but he was just a person who was demented.
When others told him to eat, he took two mouthfuls and told him to drink, but his teeth were closed and his eyes were dull, but his heart was turbulent and he was not at peace.
When I arrived at the return mountain, I saw that the mountain of no return was still verdant and lush, the stone steps reached the sky, and the students in white clothes and the children of the scholars were bustling.
Shuli silently followed his father back to the mountain, at the south gate of the mountain, saw the towering and majestic archway, on the book: "The pen in the heaven and earth waved the ancient and modern righteousness", the right couplet and wrote: "The sound of the sky and the earth swallowed the righteousness", and the middle read: "Zhanghua world".
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart, if he talked about it, the depth and mystery of the morality of the Confucian classics were not inferior to Buddhism.
Moreover, the calligrapher was originally the original court to exterminate Confucianism, only to return to this place in frustration, the history of the "Confucianism burned" public case is still impressive, why repeat the mistakes of Buddhism?
From this point of view, both Confucianism and Buddhism are just a pawn of the imperial power.
As long as it threatens the imperial power, no matter which dynasty the Emperor Wu is, he will sensitively use the strongest and most powerful means to destroy it, and will never allow the slightest disobedience to the imperial power.
When Yifeng said "In Emperor Wu, it is a battle for imperial power, and in Buddhism, it is a battle for the survival and extinction of morality", Shuli still had doubts in his heart, and it was only at this time that he suddenly became clear.
At this time, he couldn't help but be impressed by this usually shy and simple little junior brother in his heart.
Originally, when he came down from Qingshan Temple, his senior brother Yuan Yin asked himself to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.
Now that he looks back on what he has encountered many times, it is actually the little junior brother who fights to the death, turns the tide, and saves them more often, and he can't help but feel guilty in his heart.
On the way back to Qifeng City from Nanzong Temple, I heard that Zheng Wenqi received the news that Emperor Wu sent the Marquis of Badun to lead 50,000 Yulin troops to conquer Nanzong Temple.
Hate yourself for not being by his side!
As a result, he added a little sadness to his resentment, and he just thought about it, following his father through the courtyards and palaces of the scholar's house, and he didn't know how Zheng Wenqi was arranged by his father and how the others went home.
Along the way, there were familiar scholars and juniors who came over to greet each other happily when they saw the book ceremony.
But just looking at Shuli, I feel stupid and stupid, far from the appearance of the talented and suave at the beginning.
As a result, the calligraphers were more determined in their hearts about the demonic words of the Buddha and the Buddha, and those disciples who were about to participate in the battle of the Buddha and the Dharma were more determined to destroy the evil demon and the Buddha.
Of course, these are by no means expected in Shuli, and even if they knew, they would not be enough.
The wall is down and everyone pushes it, and the Buddha is in trouble, there must be the result of countless causes and conditions, and the cause must have an effect.
It's just that when I arrived at the door of the mansion at home, I saw my mother trembling over, hugged him, and cried one by one.
She saw Shuli's stupid appearance again, slapped Shuyu in distress, and cried and blamed him for forcing Shuli to leave home.
The family members and relatives behind him also had many sad people who covered their eyes when they saw this scene.
Shuli saw his mother hugging him, and looked down to see his mother's silver hair on his chest, the sourness in his heart welled up, and he burst into tears for a while, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
Oh, my Buddha way, I don't practice enough!
