Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi looked at each other, then turned to Kumarajiva and said: "But our Eastern Jin Dynasty is the Han people's clothing to travel south, and what we Han people believe in is not Taoism but Confucianism and Zhou rites. Great Qin is willing to send troops to help
If we repel the demon thieves and expel the warlord Liu Yu, we will be grateful. But if you want to replace the Confucianism of the Zhou Dynasty that has been handed down in the Central Plains for thousands of years with Buddhism, I am afraid it will be difficult to obey. Even if we promise you, we will
Even the Han scholars and the common people would not agree.
Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "The two donors misunderstood that our Buddhism is about cause and effect. It will not be like the way of the Celestial Master, which uses all kinds of coercion and inducement to coax others, or coerce others to join. Even in the two countries in the north,
You have also seen that most of those Buddhist temples and nunneries were not built by us at the request of our rulers and heavenly kings, but by good men and women who believe in our Buddha. In order to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and to have blessings in the next life, they voluntarily donated
Incense money.
"We disciples in Buddhist temples also need to practice. In addition to doing their homework, ordinary novice disciples also have to support themselves and cultivate the land. It is not something for nothing. It is just that the government and the court have given a forest, and the common people rely on some incense money.
, In addition, our disciples farm and water their own vegetables, eat some fruits, melons and vegetables, do not eat meat or fish, and do not drink alcohol or sex, so the food and clothing expenses are much less than that of ordinary people."
"Just like me, I only wear five sets of clothes in four seasons. The cassock given by the King of Heaven is only worn during important rituals and is not worn at ordinary times. The three meals a day are just porridge, water and vegetables. Compared with the lives of the two donors,
But we need a lot of servants, because what we want to become a monk is hard work and atonement, unlike Confucianism, which talks about scholars gaining wealth, and unlike Taoism, which talks about cultivating immortality and becoming immortals, so our disciples live a better life than ordinary people.
Farmers have to work a lot harder. Unless they have truly given up worldly thoughts and devoted themselves to Buddha, they will not enter our Buddhist family.
Sima Chuzhi let out a long sigh: "Is this what you are talking about, specifically to help those who are destined to be together? Then it is hard for me to imagine that there are still people who are willing to give up the secular life and practice hard to become a monk."
Yao Shao laughed: "So only those who have no nostalgia for this world and want to practice for the next life are willing to endure the hardship. Not many people will join this Buddhism, because they can't live a good life, and they can't even get married.
A wife and children are destined not to occupy too many social resources. You don’t have to worry about competing with your Confucian Zhouli or Lao-Zhuang Taoism for the mainstream sects. Because human nature dictates that there won’t be too many in this world.
People are willing to give up a good life to suffer the pain of self-cultivation.
Kumarajiva said seriously: "So, we don't need an inch of land to save Jin this time, and we don't need your Jin country to adopt Buddhism as the state religion like Da Qin. In fact, even Da Qin took the initiative to invite me from Liangzhou to Chang'an to preach.
, It’s not that I want to preach. What Buddhism talks about is to save all sentient beings and only accept those who are destined. This word "destiny" is more important than anything else. This time, I can kill demons. On the one hand, it is for the practice of the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty.
Eliminating karma, on the other hand, is also about forming a good relationship with the military and civilians of the Jin Dynasty. If you think our Buddhism is useful and someone is willing to enter our Buddhist sect, then we will naturally welcome it and are willing to send eminent monks to spread the Dharma in the Jin Dynasty.
Sima Guofan nodded with satisfaction: "We believe that because of your character and practice, Xiao Liuyu, we will be satisfied if you can return to the Jin Dynasty and return to the clan. If you can go back, we will definitely recommend to your Majesty that you enter the Jin Dynasty for Buddhism."
Jin spreads the Dharma and opens the door of convenience. One more thing, Wang Miaoyin, who framed me this time, I have entered Buddhism as Wang Miaoyin before. If we go back this time, we will inevitably seek revenge and settle accounts with him. If you want
To kill him would be to offend the noble family. He is an important ally and pillar of the Imperial Preceptor in the court. If we want to overthrow the Imperial Preceptor, we must get rid of him. What can Liu Yu do?
Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "If everything goes well, maybe we can find a way to get that Zuo Junjiao to become a monk again and escape into Buddhism. I am willing to personally transform him and accept him as his disciple. This person is extremely smart.
, I have a lot of wisdom. If I use my thoughts of supporting Zuo Jun in Buddhism, I will definitely become a great master in the future. I have already thought about this. If everyone gets what they need, wouldn’t everyone be happy?"
Sima Chuzhi laughed loudly: "Okay, great, let him really become a nun this time and never become a secular man again. Haha, it's great. Liu Yu is not Liu Yu. This can make you imagine. You
Too"
The more he talked, the happier he became, and his eyes shone with excitement.
Mang, it seems that a beautiful tomorrow is right in front of you!
Kumarajiva said coldly: "What's so difficult about this? If the soldiers and horses of the Tianshi Dao defeated Liu Yi, the isolated city of Jiankang would have no soldiers to defend, and the army of the national division was far away and could not come back.
At this time, what else can they do besides begging us to send troops? At this time, they have to open their mouths. If they want to show their true intention of cooperation, they have to exchange Wang Miaoyin. If they are afraid that I, as a woman, will be humiliated by them, then escape
If you enter Buddhism and worship me as your teacher, you can't let them worry. Even Zuo Jun has to agree to such conditions!"
"But Liu Yu's method is really great. If we can only take away Queen Wang as a hostage, let her go back to study Buddhism, and then return to Jin Dynasty to preach, it will solve all the conflicts. In this way, we can give His Majesty a new life."
It is only up to us to choose a queen and decide whose daughter can be selected. Depending on this, major families will rush to curry favor with us and form alliances with us. Hehe, in this era when the king and the horse share the world, it will happen again.
It’s coming.”
Yao Shao looked down on it and raised his brows: "Guofan, I advise you to think about the good things first. Maybe our king of heaven wants to marry, and will send our princess from Qin to be the queen of Jin to marry Qin and Jin.
, However, these are all based on Liu Yi's defeat and our victory. No one knows what the situation is like now?" Yao Shao frowned slightly: "Zuo Jun, is this really possible? Queen Wang, after all,
She is the queen of the Jin Dynasty. Isn’t it a bit overwhelming to force her to become a monk and escape into Buddhism?”
Sima Guofan laughed loudly: "Okay, great, this is really the best solution. If the Queen is not eliminated, I will not be able to return to the court. After all, he was the one who convicted me of treason."
.And if you want to bring him down, you have to offend the Xie family, the Wang family, and become enemies of the noble families. It is not easy to think about it. If we, the Sima family, want to regain our power, not only the national preceptors have to stop it, but also other people.
I’m afraid even a high-ranking family won’t let go easily.”
Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi looked at each other, then turned to Kumarajiva and said: "But our Eastern Jin Dynasty is the Han people's clothing to travel south, and what we Han people believe in is not Taoism but Confucianism and Zhou rites. Great Qin is willing to send troops to help
