Chapter 397: Skinning the Tiger Alive
Just when Shi Zhixuan secretly analyzed the strength of the air, the empty eyes were gloomy, and he said indifferently: "The north and south of Middle-earth have been in turmoil for a long time, and the people are in dire straits, and they are miserable.
Although the poor monk and the great virtue are outsiders, they can't bear to continue to suffer from the people, so they can only hope that the heavens will descend on the Lord, mix the north and the south, and settle the world and the people!"
Likong and Shi Zhixuan saw it clearly, and the moment they heard the word 'Ming Lord', Yang Jian's eyes condensed slightly.
Of course, the two of them would not think that Yang Jian was so uncomposed, but silently determined that Yang Jian was deliberately expressing his ambitions and intentions just right.
After all, they are all 'their own people' here, and when he heard that Buddhism was ready to praise people to be the 'Ming Lord' who ruled the world, if Yang Jian reacted too excitedly, he would be impetuous, and he would definitely not be a person who has achieved great things!
On the contrary, if Yang Jian doesn't react at all, and it seems that the city government is too deep, and he is even more suspicious of not being able to trust emptiness and 'great virtue', it is likely to lead to the death of the strategic cooperation before it starts!
This is subtle, if it weren't for Yang Jian's nearly 20 years in the court, which has been tested for a long time, it would be difficult to score well.
With the deep relationship with Buddhism and the close connection, Yang Jian knows very well that except for a handful of Buddhist bigwigs, no one knows the various factions and soft and hard power of Buddhism better than him.
Now the policy of banning the Buddha and abolishing the Buddha in the Northern Zhou Yuwen Yong seems to be unimpeded and irreversible, and the harvest is even more amazing.
However, Yang Jian, as a person in half of Buddhism, faintly found that although there is a Buddhist boss who is obscure, taking the opportunity to eliminate the black sheep and purify Buddhism, there are also various factions within Buddhism that are tilting against each other and eliminating the appearance of dissent......
Therefore, all kinds of high-strength forces in the open and secret of Buddhism have never been shot. There is no loss at all, and once the Buddhism reaches an agreement within the sect, it will deal with Yu Wenyong at any cost, but I am afraid that it will ......
Yang Jian has always believed that Yu Wenyong is likely to become a Buddha and defeat a Buddha - stealing the wealth accumulated by Buddhism for more than 100 years. But if you don't destroy the core power of Buddhism, it's like skinning a tiger alive and ignoring the tiger's fangs, and there is no scum left that is destined to be devoured by the tiger!
Thinking of this, Yang Jian's gaze inadvertently swept over the two monks opposite, and secretly wondered: I don't know, the one who finally started to finish Yuwen Yong represented the emptiness of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Monastery, or the 'great virtue' of the four major sects......
However, Yang Jian didn't know. The subtlety of the Zen mind of Kong and Shi Zhixuan has reached an unbelievable state, and he has changed his mind six or seven points thoroughly, and the two of them are silent on the surface, but the bottom of their hearts twitched together.
He continued casually: "Fang is under today, although it is the Three Kingdoms of Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, and Southern Chen, but if you want to mix the north and the south, it is nothing more than using the north to unify the south. or the south to the north......"
As he spoke, he looked at Shi Zhixuan and asked tentatively, "Dade has been in the south for a long time." I don't know what to think of the south and the north?"
Yang Jian and his wife also turned their heads to look at Shi Zhixuan, with a rare hint of nervousness in their eyes.
It's just because the two of them know very well that once the 'great virtue' representing the four holy monks is willing to unify the north with the south, they will definitely support Nan Chen, not the Yang family, who is one of the Guanlong groups in the north.
If this is the case, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery can only help the Yang family withstand the open guns and hidden arrows of the four major sects. And there is no way to help the Yang family in other aspects.
Once Buddhism itself fell into this kind of infighting and confrontation, the support for the Yang family would immediately go to zero!
Of course, Shi Zhixuan understood the worries of Yang Jian and his wife, but there was no need to make the 'Dade' vest into an angry young monk who was short-sighted and did not know the current situation in order to disgust the empty and the couple.
It is undeniable that the long-term division of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties moved towards future unification. It is actually another historical event following the Warring States period to the unification of Qin, and there is no historical event that can be compared with it.
From the point of view of his heart, Shi Zhixuan naturally favors the unification of the north with the south and the revitalization of the Han Dynasty, but the comparison of strength between the north and the south cannot be ignored.
Therefore, he looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and his eyes were hidden, and he said solemnly: "Since the Hou Jing Rebellion more than 20 years ago, the Southern Dynasty has been smoky for more than ten years, and the people are not able to make a living.
Although the Ming lord Chen Baxian conformed to the current situation of the people and established the Chen Dynasty, he was unable to seek peace with all the ministers, so he had to seek stability in compromise and reluctantly put an end to the southern beacon smoke, but after all, there were many hidden dangers......
After nearly ten years, Chen Baxian, Chen Qian, and Chen Ji worked hard one after another, and the Southern Chen State gradually improved, but the strength was far less than the previous Southern Song Dynasty, Southern Qi, and Southern Liang three generations...... Hey!"
The last sentence seems to be a sigh, but in fact it clearly shows that he is not optimistic about the Southern Chen Northern Expedition and the unification of the north with the south, but he does not express his support for the unification of the south with the north.
Yang Jian and his wife were secretly relieved, as long as 'Dade' was not a staunch supporter of Han unification like many scholars in the south, everything should be discussed, otherwise things would be in trouble!
Today, when the original Wuhu was in turmoil, many Han Tong clans who 'crossed to the south in clothes' have already disappeared most of them in various tricks.
However, there are still some families in the south who insist on the purity of Han unity, and try their best to reject foreign ancestry and foreign cultures, and thus also reject the Han people in the north who are deeply influenced by the Hu culture......
Although the Han unification and etiquette adhered to by these families were only political slogans.
In fact, the children of his family put the interests of the family first, not the interests of the Han dynasty.
The structure of the family itself is much more rotten, not to mention, what they do is to annex land without scruples, bully the commoners, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which can be said to be a luxurious aristocratic life with the people's fat and ointment to provide them with 'poetry and wine'!
They have long since become parasites of the southern dynasty without knowing it!
However, after all, these families are the mainstream of culture in the south and have a great influence on the ******** of Buddhism in the south, so the couple are worried about the political tendencies of 'Dade'.
Originally, the 'great virtue' who was born in Zen Buddhism did not fully represent the four holy monks, but the actual situation today is that as long as the 'great virtue' is willing, it can really decide that Buddhism will play a role in the historical event of mixing the north and the south in the future.
Among the four major sects, the power of the Huayan Sect of the Emperor Heart Venerable, mainly in the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, has now been swept away by Yuwen Yong, but the relationship between the Emperor Heart Venerable and the Jingnian Monastery is quite close, and it is quite easy to win over the Jingnian Monastery;
Half of the Tiantai sect forces of the Master of Wisdom are in the Northern Qi and Southern Chen, and the Master of Wisdom has always worn the same pants as Master Daoxin, so he should be a staunch supporter of the 'Great Virtue';
A small part of Master Jiaxiang's Three Treatise Sect forces have disappeared in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and most of them are in the south, and Master Jiaxiang and 'Dade' have the name of master and apprentice, and they are likely to favor 'Dade';
The forces of Daoxin Master and Zen Buddhism, half of which are distributed in the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi Dynasties, and the other half are in Southern Chen, which is also the firmest backing of the 'Great Virtue'.
After careful calculation, 'Dade' is faintly the plenipotentiary representative of the Southern Buddhism, plus it seriously affects the Northern Buddhism, while Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery, in addition to their own descendants, can only control half of the Northern Buddhism.
In addition to being secretly jealous, he also guessed that the reason why 'Dade' did not officially express his stance on unifying the north with the south was because he was worried about whether Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery would take the opportunity to unify the southern Buddhism with the northern Buddhism.
If the 'Great Virtue' and the Southern Buddhism it represents to let down their guard and support the unification of the south with the north, they need not only the 'guarantees' of Cihang Jingzhai and the Jingnian Monastery, but also the promise of many 'empty checks' from the future powerful faction like Yang Jian......
Of course, this is only a preliminary expression of intention by all parties to reach a strategic unity within Buddhism, and the specific negotiation and signing of the 'memorandum' will only need to wait for the descendants of Cihang Jingzhai to be present in the future.
Thinking about this in an instant, Likong and Yang Jian glanced at each other, and bowed their heads slightly in agreement, but at the same time, they also had a deep impression of the difficulty of 'Dade': he is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles! )
