Chapter 196: The Truth of a Big Lump
"The reason is very simple, that is, don't reason with scholars.
Isn't this what the national teacher did? With just a lump of tea, the old man was leveled, so why bother to listen to the scholar's righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period. β
Zhang Weng put on a full posture of teaching his teacher to give a lecture, and stroked his beard again with self-satisfaction, and said a few words as if he was not a scholar, and now he was not reasoning.
"It doesn't make sense to reason with scholars, and scholars' truths are always higher than the sky and thicker than the sea. In the same way, fighting with Wufu is also in vain, there is no second martial arts, even if you beat him into a handful of loess, you will never be able to defeat him. β
"In the same way, it is even more vain to talk about right and wrong with those bald heads, in the hearts of bald heads, there are only Buddha demons, there is no right or wrong, and the Buddha is themselves, how can you make a Buddha recognize himself as a demon?"
"So, the old man thinks that you killed those bald heads in Beijing for nothing, and no matter how much you kill, they won't feel that they are wrong. With the temperament of those bald heads, the next day after you kill this wave, you may rush in several times more people to take the initiative to die to influence you, this is a great dedication to them, sacrificing their lives for the truth, if this continues, this situation will only become more and more chaotic, and in the end, these monks will be forced to rebel, and this covenant will be meaningless. β
"National teacher, you keep the covenant and keep the precepts, the original intention is to keep order, to make all parties obey the order can not rely on spanking alone, especially some people do not remember to eat, no matter how hard the beating is, it is useless. It is necessary to use the most appropriate method, such as scholars, if you want scholars to be orderly, you can't reason with them. β
Speaking of this, Zhang Weng deliberately paused, according to common sense, the other party should be asked to ask for advice and the like.
But the little national teacher sat there with squinted eyes, and had no intention of answering.
The national teacher didn't answer, Zhang Weng only said half of what he said, and he was suffocated like this, which made Zhang Weng feel uncomfortable, just like no one high-fived him under the stage of the high tide.
Seeing that there was no movement after waiting for a while, the little national teacher simply turned his head to look out of the door, and listened attentively to the moral declarations of the scholars outside the courtyard.
The little national teacher's trick is too poisonous, and letting the literati hold back their words is not equivalent to letting the martial arts ban the martial arts, the rangers to be grounded, the cooks to be grounded from meat, and the groom to be banned from the eighteenth being so vicious.
Zhang Weng kept brushing his beard, and almost dragged off his few little goat whiskers.
Later, he couldn't hold it back, Zhang Weng patted his thigh, shook his head and continued to himself: "According to the old man's opinion, since those bald heads are so persistent in thinking that they have been wronged, and since they like to dedicate themselves so much, why don't they dedicate this fearless dedication to the help of the national teacher to abide by the covenant and order?"
Instead of the national teacher guarding against them day and night, why don't you let these bald heads change their identities, let them become precept keepers, let them keep their own precepts, and let them restrain themselves? In that case, national teacher, aren't you happy to be idle and can practice day and night?"
Hmm, let them be the keepers of the precepts, keep their own vows? This sentence is kind of interesting......
The little national teacher moved back his gaze, looking at Zhang Weng with blazing eyes, ordinary people only know the literal meaning of the hundred-year covenant at most, and they all think that this covenant is simply not allowing the monk to have the opportunity to get involved in the court, and this Zhang Weng seems to have a good grasp of the details of this hundred-year covenant, and there are some insiders in it that should not be grasped by a clear stream, who is this Zhang Weng?
Zhang Weng peeked at the national teacher's attention and finally returned to him, and smiled proudly: "National teacher, do you say this is the reason?"
"Zhang Weng, didn't you keep saying that you won't reason with me anymore after taking the tea tonight......? What is it?"
"No, no, the old man is just chatting, chatting, how can there be any reason, the old man hates the most is the literati who open and close their mouths are all big truths, smelly and rancid. Zhang Weng slapped his nose, and then leaned forward: "The old man is not that kind of person, you see that the old man went into the courtyard alone to find the national teacher, just want not so many people to disturb him, and talk to the national teacher about some private things." β
The little national teacher's eyes were dark and gloomy, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Weng's jokes, and asked directly: "Oh, private affairs, Zhang Weng, you...... In addition to begging for tea, do you want to come and help the monk talk good things?"
"No, no, the old man is not a monk, the old man just thinks that it is useless for these monks to kill, so he wants to make a suggestion, a suggestion that is good for everyone. β
"Is that the suggestion to let the bald head be the keeper of the covenant? Let the thief shout to catch the thief?"
When the little national teacher said this, Zhang Weng knew that he was somewhat moved, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was most afraid that the national teacher would not listen to people.
"Don't be a thief shouting to catch a thief, those bald heads, if you really get up, the execution is also very good, use them to supervise who defaults on this drudgery, the old man believes that they will be more suitable than Fuber, and they can endure loneliness better than Fuber.
Fu Bo has been with you for so long, and he should be relieved.
Besides, the day of the fiefdom is approaching, and this year's fiefdom ceremony may not go well, so it is not better to take this opportunity to press these bald heads to work as coolies and do some hard work for you. β
Even understood the ritual of sacrificing the ground, and the little national teacher asked bluntly: "Who are you, and where do you know these inside information." β
Zhang Weng smiled and bowed his hand, which belonged to the special salute of the Daomen.
The little national teacher suddenly wondered, it turned out to be a member of the Taoist sect, but how could this noble court member who sacrificed wine in front of the country's eunuch be a member of the Taoist sect? This is unreasonable.
Although he was full of doubts, the little national teacher still returned the salute according to the rules and gave face to the foot door.
After Zhang Weng finished saluting, he quickly put down his hand, looked left and right, and whispered: "This matter is also asked to be kept secret by the national teacher, it is a little private of the old man, the old man has not been apprenticed to the Taoist teacher for many years, and he came to meet with the national teacher by name tonight, and made a small suggestion on behalf of the Taoist sect." β
The corners of the little national teacher's mouth twitched, and he was in an extremely bad mood, whether it was the breach of contract by the Buddhist sect, or the change of precepts mentioned by Zhang Weng just now, it was a big deal, and these people from the Taoist sect did not visit for nearly 20 years, and it was just a matter of standing by, after all, they were light-hearted.
But when you come to discuss the important matter of changing the precept keepers, you only send an old man who is not even a disciple of the outer sect in the Dao Sect to come over, what is the matter?
I don't have any respect for the national teacher, the executor of the precepts, is it really a miscellaneous shopkeeper?
Zhang Weng is also a skilled person, he doesn't need to look to know that the little national teacher is unhappy.
But he couldn't help it, there was a breach of contract in Buddhism, and he wrote many times to ask the teachers to go down the mountain to Beijing, but the replies of those teachers and ancestors were full of urgency, and they really couldn't go down the mountain...... Although Zhang Weng has a low seniority, he also knows what kind of urgent matter it is to repair a chicken coop and build a latrine, which is obviously that the elders are too lazy to go down the mountain, and they only use some trivial urgent matters to prevaricate him.
In the reply letter, the head of the sect gave an explanation, saying that he could handle everything he encountered, but which of these things could he handle with full authority?
Although the head of the sect told him the whole truth of the hundred-year covenant, he had no ability, no seniority, and no power, so how could he meddle in this matter?
Even if he is too lazy to go down the mountain to push him out to support the faΓ§ade, then he has to fly so many ten or twenty fairy swords to protect his body, just drawing a thunder talisman on the back of the letter paper will be sent away, which kind of master is this......
This door is really a pit, what's the whole matter? Is it all based on one mouth?
Zhang Weng was speechless, he thought about it before, but in the end he found that he really only had one mouth left, he had been studying for so many years, and he had only been cultivating for several years, and his whole body was just this mouth that he had cultivated for decades to talk about life and reason with others.
So Zhang Weng came in tonight, talking about everything, and in the end he could only reason with the national teacher.
But the problem is that looking at the current situation, it seems useless to be reasonable, but this national teacher has the look of fighting......
