Chapter 835
Su Dongpo's coffin went to Haizhou through the canal. It was not a boat, but a long row of official ships, with heads and tails connected, with more than ten ships. The largest of them was of course Su Dongpo's coffin. In addition to Su Dongpo's body, there were also a bunch of burial objects, mainly calligraphy and paintings, including Wu Haohao, Mi Youren, Huang Tingjian, Su Dongpo's own, Du Wenyu, Zhang Zeduan, and of course, there were also thin gold calligraphy works by Tiankang Zhao Ji, who owned all over the world. In short, if someone was dug out for later generations, there would be one million...
With so many treasures, of course, I have to find a good place to bury Su Dongpo's coffin. So Wu Haogu also brought a boat to see Feng Shui and divide the Jin Ding Cave, led by Liu Wuji, a real person from Wanshou Palace, and Guo Qingyi (Guo Xiaoxiao), a Qingyisan man from Huaxian Temple, and also went to Haizhou together. At that time, they would have to find a treasure cave that can bless the descendants of the Su family to get promoted and make money. Wu Haogu really didn't know that Liu Wuji and Guo Xiaoxiao would also divide the Jin Ding Cave.
The Taoist priest is responsible for dividing the Jinding acupoint, and the monk is responsible for rushing to the undead! He invited the monk Shaozhuyuan monk from Daxiangguo Temple, Zen Master Huiming, abbot of Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple, and Zen Master Xuanji, the first Damo Academy of Shaolin Temple. They are all Taoist monks! They can definitely pass Su Dongpo to the West.
Both Buddhism and Taoism have all been together, so of course Confucian scholars cannot be missing. Su Dongpo's sons are Confucian scholars, and his favorite disciples Wu Haogu, Li Li, Jiang Tangzuo, Pan Dalin, and Pan Daguan are also Confucian scholars. There is also Ji Yizhi, the Confucian scholar who "meets by the way" in the third year of Yuanfu. Everyone sent Su Dongpo's coffin to Yuntai Mountain, Haizhou for burial, and the road was quite lively.
Of course, the funeral procession should be more serious, and it is not easy to engage in any entertainment activities on the road, so everyone gathers on Ji Yi's super luxurious "cruise boat" every day... discussing worldview, outlook on life and values!
Uh, but it's really a discussion.
"...I mean, I still have to follow the path of unity of the three religions, otherwise the large education group would not have to educate others, so I would have to start a fight."
"But how do the three religions integrate one?"
"It can be said that in the beginning, there was the law of heaven, and there was Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism governed people's hearts, Confucianism governed the country, and Taoism followed nature. In other words, the law of heaven gave birth to the three religions of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, and the three religions each performed their duties..."
"This is not possible. Buddha is the biggest! Amitabha!"
"Laojun is the greatest, Wuliang Heavenly Lord!"
"Well, it's clear that the law of heaven is the greatest, the unity of man and nature, and the law of heaven and man..."
The quarrel started!
Monks, Taoists, and Hou Zhongliang, a great scholar in Neo-Confucianism, were not convinced by anyone.
The integration of the three religions was a hot topic in the Song Dynasty. Not only did the two-Cheng Neo-Confucianism take this path, but the Su-Shu studies also wanted to integrate the three religions. Even Wang Anshi's new learning of Jinggong also absorbed a lot of nutrients from Buddhism and Taoism.
However, this kind of unity of the three religions is the Confucianism learning from Buddhism and Taoism, rather than the true unity.
Now, Confucianism has Wu Haogu's "Personal Theory" and "Reason Theory", and has already had a materialist line. Without Buddhism, it doesn't matter that Taoism (referring to Taoism) is fooling people. When did materialism fear idealism?
However, in order to facilitate the transcendence of Confucianism, Wu Haogu still proposed that the concept of unity of the three religions was not proposed as a great Confucian scholar of positivism and rationalism, but as a great Confucian scholar of Neo-Confucian scholar.
Wu Haogu looked at Ji Yi with a frown slightly. He had never had a superficial position since the beginning of the discussion. I don’t know if he wanted to add a set of Manichaeism to the point?
"Brother Yizhi," Wu Haogudao, "What do you think?"
Ji Yi shook her head, "Brother Chongdao, there is no successful precedent for this confluence between different sects as far as I know.
Believing in God is actually the purer the better! For example, the Tianfang Sect and Nestorian are all gods... There are already many gods in Buddhism and Taoism. If you combine the three religions, it will probably be too messy and complicated."
Not to mention, Ji Yi, a Confucian scholar, has a very mixed knowledge. He knows a little bit of everything, which is a bit of a mixed-class meaning.
"It makes sense, too." Wu Haogu nodded.
Neo-Confucianism actually has a bit of the meaning of Uni-Divine Buddhism, but Confucianism did not establish gods from the beginning, and advocated keeping away from ghosts and gods. Therefore, Cheng Yi could not turn Neo-Confucianism into the Heavenly Principle Buddhism. He could not establish gods and could not make up divine words.
For believers, God's words are unquestionable, so naturally there is no need to make practical suggestions and rational inferences, or they can only use practice and reason to prove that God's existence is correct, and cannot draw opposite conclusions, otherwise they will be barbecued.
In this regard, Confucianism without a god is actually more likely to accept reason and empiricality.
However, the inability to establish a god in Neo-Confucianism is only because it is restrained by the Confucian "source code" and cannot establish a god. This problem only exists in the Central Plains. In places like the Western Regions without the foundation of Confucianism, the laws of heaven and Juan La can be the same as the Heavenly Father.
"It's better to do this," Wu Haogu thought for a while, "The banner of the unity of the three religions will still be raised for the time being. At least in the Western Regions, there may be a South Asian country in the future."
Missionary preaching has to be fooled! Didn’t Western colonists also preach Catholicism and Christianity in history? I have never heard of them passing on Newton’s three laws to the colonial people as soon as they came up.
He thought about it and said, "The Great Educational Group is the joint force of the three religions... How can it be done without the saying of one unity? But when everyone arrives in the Western Regions, opens temples, Taoist temples, and academies, they will teach their own teachings. It is just a point that the three religions are the ones, and they cannot kill each other, and they do not distinguish between territory or each other."
"This is OK!"
"OK!"
"Amitabha, that's it."
"The Infinite Heavenly Lord..."
Wu Haogu nodded, and said to He Tianran and Master He around him: "Print a...a alliance between the three religions! Write down the three religions and families without killing each other, regardless of territory, no matter how they work together!"
"Shishuai," He Tianran thought for a while and asked again, "Do you want to write if there is any violation, and if there is a lightning strike, three or six holes?"
Why does it sound like a gangster?
Wu Haogu looked at the monks, Taoist priests and Hou Daru who were present and were the ones who were in charge of blood. Wu Haogu was the financial backer behind the scenes and did not participate in the alliance.
"Okay!" said the great scholar Hou Zhongliang, "Let's write it all up. Kill a chicken later. Let's take blood to form an alliance!"
"Kill the chicken?" Master Xuanji of Shaolin Temple shook his head, "This is killing, Amitabha..."
Wu Hao Gu’s Ancient Dao: “Then let’s not kill the chickens, but let’s swear in front of the Buddha, the Sanqing and the Saint Confucius statues! After making the swearing, let’s discuss the affairs of monk soldiers, swordsmen and doctors of protecting the Tao.”
Of course, the missionary in the Western Regions must be convinced by reason, and they must learn from the Confucius saint who "don't leave his sword and conquer people with virtue." Therefore, not only did the Doctorate Order send armed Doctors (Knights), but Shaolin Temple also planned to send Arhat monk soldiers. The Taoist temples such as Jingling Palace and Wanshou Temple do not have Taoist soldiers, but Guo Jing and Liu Wuji also asked for an order from Zhao Ji that they could recruit a small number of swordsmen to the Western Regions together.
...
"Dad, there is a distinguished guest coming."
Su Zhe, who was reading and thinking in the study room, suddenly interrupted his thoughts by the sound from outside the door.
The person who interrupted him was his third son Su Xun. Su Xun was a Jinshi in the third year of Jianzhong Jingguo. His ranking was not very high, but he was awarded a very good official position. He was a secretariat, not a secretary for Zhao Ji, but a librarian! However, in the promotion picture of civil servants in the Song Dynasty, librarians were much more popular than county magistrates.
"Discover?" Su Che frowned. There was no time for his family to come to visit.
"Come in." Su Zhe said.
The door of the inner study room was creaking and someone pushed open. It was Su Xun who walked in. He held a famous post in his hand and handed it to Su Che with both hands.
When Su Zhe took the famous post, he was stunned and was visiting Cai Jing, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe!
"Cai Yuanchang?" Su Che suddenly stood up, "He is here in person?"
"That's right!" Su Xun said, "He came in contemporaries, and the child asked him to wait in the inner hall."
The dignified Zuo Prime Minister visited a minister of Rites who was about to serve outside the office at night... What was he trying to win over him? Su Chexin said: I am the upright Su Qingtian! However, Cai Jing is the prime minister after all, so it is still a rude thing to avoid him.
Thinking of this, Su Che said to his son: "Let's go and meet."
Cai Jing came to visit in a low-end manner, of course he didn't want anyone to see it. But he didn't have any arrangements. His son, Cai Chong, who also worked as a proofreader in the Secretariat, agreed to Su Xun early in the morning to arrange for the two husbands to meet him, and not to see that Su Che and Cai Jing were political enemies, their two young men actually had a good relationship.
Moreover, there is no irreconcilable contradiction between Cai Jing and Su Che.
"Dad, Su Xianggong is here."
Cai Chong's voice, who accompanied Cai Jing, came from the door of the inner hall. Cai Jing immediately stood up, smiled, and looked at Su Che who was walking in quickly from outside.
Su Zhe bowed and said, "Chief Yuan, why don't you let me inform me in advance? I can open the middle door to greet you."
Cai Jing shook his head and said, "No, no! The two servants of the Shangshu Province should not be generous in the Ming Dynasty, so as not to speak."
"Chang Yuan, what you said..." Su Che looked at Cai Jing with some uncertainty.
Su Che was the Minister of Shangshu, but that was during the Yuanfeng period, and now he is just the Minister of Rites.
"What?" Cai Jing smiled, "Isn't it time for brother to make up for the right servant who was empty after his death?"
"Me?" Su Che couldn't believe his ears.
