Sima Guofan murmured: "It turns out that there is no connection between Da Qin and Tianshi Dao, it is just Gou Lin's personal choice? But why doesn't everyone in the world understand this?"
Yao Shao said coldly: "That Gou Lin is just a Liangzhou tribe that belongs to the Qin Dynasty in name. He is essentially the same as the two of you. He asked the Qin Dynasty for help, but the Qin Dynasty could not control him. Huan Qian is also of the same nature. He
He wanted to go back and stand on his own feet, but also wanted to borrow Da Qin's soldiers and horses. Da Qin did not have the ability at the time, so he had to recruit people from various tribes in Liangzhou who were willing to help him. The price was to allow them to plunder or choose to settle in Jingzhou. "
"After the defeat of the former Qin Dynasty, some of the former Qin's former troops followed Fu Hong and fled to Jingzhou. They heard that life was not bad there, so after years of war in Liangzhou, some people thought they could live a similar life.
Gou Lin was originally a big bandit leader who circulated between Western Qin and Southern Liang, rebelling against Wuchang, and was not tolerated by all parties. When he heard about such an opportunity, he thought of moving his tribe and subordinates to Jingzhou with his family, and there was a place in the Central Plains.
Who wouldn’t want to go to this colorful world?”
"Our Heavenly King happened to be happy to get rid of this evil thief. To divert the trouble, he let them go out under the banner of the Qin Army. In fact, they didn't even send a supervisory army. They just provided some food and grass for passing by, and they were given as gifts.
Leave the country and eliminate foreign troubles.
"As a result, Gou Lin refused to change his character. After arriving in Jingzhou, he robbed houses and homes everywhere. Even Huan Qian couldn't stand him. After all, Jingzhou is Huan Qian's territory. Asking people to help is not to cause harm. So Huan Qian made a plan.
Asking Gou Lin to join forces with Tianshi Dao to deal with Liu Daogui actually drove Liu Yu away. This played into Weng He's plan, but he also used Tianshi Dao in turn, leaving him as a rear guard to fight Weng He Ai.
, Tianshi Dao’s own army went east along the river and attacked Yuzhou. In the end, Liu Yu and Gou Lin were defeated by Weng He Ai. In fact, both of their armies have nothing to do with our Great Qin!"
Sima Chuzhi gritted his teeth: "This does not mean that Da Qin and Tianshi Dao have no friendship, let alone allies. So this time when dealing with Tianshi Dao, we can't use the banner of doing justice for heaven, right? It's just that we can't attack like that.
It would not be good for us to go to Huanqian. It would not be good for Da Qin if they took the opportunity to occupy Yuzhou.
Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "This world is bustling with people, and everyone is seeking profit. Although they say it is for the purpose of cultivating virtue, they do not care about the rewards at all. Take our Buddhism as an example, if we send troops to aid Jin this time, if we succeed,
, then we must put forward conditions to the Jin State. First, we must ask the Emperor of the Jin State to pardon our crimes, just like he pardoned Huan Qian. In this way, we can transform from sinners and traitors of the Jin State to heroes who save the Jin Dynasty.
Only then could he return to the Jin Kingdom with pride and dignity and regain his power.
Sima Guofan said angrily: "It was Weng He who wanted to usurp power and establish himself, so he decided to attack your clan princes. It is he who is guilty and wrong, not us!"
Kumarajiva waved his hand and said calmly: "Seven benefactors, don't worry, listen to what I have to say. Regardless of the rights and wrongs of this matter, it is Huan Qian who is in charge, and we are forced to go abroad. Just like in the past, Huan Qian gave no matter how he gave
Xi Chao was framed by the White Hand Party. On the surface, he escaped from Jin and married the princess of Yan. Emperor Xiaowu only pardoned Huan Qian, granted him a marriage, and allowed him to perform meritorious services. Let's find a way to return the favor first.
In the Jin State, we should restore the status of the clan and make long-term plans in the future. Otherwise, we will always have the reputation of defecting from the country, and no one in the Jin State will be willing to lead it."
Sima Guofan wanted to speak again, but Sima Chuzhi gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Master, please go on and tell me what the second and third are."
Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "Yes, the second condition is that if we send troops to defeat Tianshi Dao and take the land of Yuzhou, we must be led and managed by our seven donors, because Liu Yi
Once defeated, we are no longer qualified to guard this place, and we have accomplished this great feat, so we should be rewarded. The benefactor of Guofan can join the court to assist in the government, and the benefactor of Chu can take over as the governor of Yuzhou as a foreign aid. Or let him guard Yuzhou in the past.
Sima Xiuzhi, the younger brother of Sima Shangzhi, the king of Qiao, came here to guard, and was assisted by General Zhenxi, the director of Chu Zhishi. In short, isn't it in your interests that the Sima family has captured a big state and embarked on the road to restoring imperial power?
"
Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi both had smiles on their faces and kept nodding. Just as they were about to thank them, Sima Guofan suddenly thought of something and said, "Master, what benefits can Da Qin get from this time?"
? Just remove
Huan Qian?"
"But I, the Buddha, am compassionate and urge people to do good and cultivate karma in the next life. In this life, I must see through the mortal world and not fight. This is very conducive to rule. The reward required is not much. It is just to give the believers some places to live and settle down.
In the future, if we want to get along with aristocratic families, we can also use our Buddhism as an external force to compete with them. The reason why Da Qin can get rid of the constraints of many chiefs is also to use the power of our Buddhism to value peace. In that world, you Da Qin
, and the benefits we want from Buddhism, do you think these requirements are too much?"
Kumarajiva nodded and said seriously: "Then thirdly, one of the conditions for us to send troops is that Jin must formally apologize to us and punish Huan Qian. When I was in Nanyan, I proposed to them to stop the troops.
He is disrespectful and arrogantly talks about sending troops to our country. Most people can just say this. But as a minister of the country, Huan Qian is so disrespectful in a formal diplomatic occasion. This is tantamount to declaring war on our country, the Qin Dynasty. I must bear this responsibility.
Therefore, the condition for us to send troops is to remove Huan Qian from his official position, at least not allow him to govern in the central government, and not allow him to return to Jiankang."
Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "You, Da Qin, naturally have your benefits. First of all, you deposed and weakened the powerful enemy Huan Qian who was hostile to you, and let these two friends guard Yuzhou, thus lifting the pressure in the south.
Threat. Secondly, it can also ask the Jin Dynasty to promote Buddhism from now on and slowly replace the Celestial Master Dao who is ambitious and wants to cause trouble in the name of religion. In fact, from the Taiping Dao in the late Han Dynasty to this Celestial Master Dao
, are not simply religions that persuade people to do good, but are a bunch of ambitious fanatics. If you and your ministers want to be in power in the future, you should keep this in mind."
Sima Guofan laughed and clapped his hands and said: "This is a good proposal. It is tantamount to forcing Huan Qian to be expelled and not allowed to return to Beijing. Okay, great. If Weng He holds the power of the central government, then they really can't go back arrogantly.
Don’t worry about bearing the infamy of being a foreigner!”
