Before Fei Qian finished speaking, the little prince Shanshan, who knew that all his land had been redeemed by Tong Grojia, couldn't sit still. He hurriedly ran to Fei Qian and fell to his knees with a thud, "
Great general! You can’t promise him!』
When Taishi Ci heard this, his eyebrows stood up, his hand went back and he pressed it on the handle of the knife.
Fei Qian stretched out his hand to signal Tai Shici not to be angry, and then said with a smile: "Why do you say that? Is there anything wrong with the land he gave me? This is really cunning. I have to send someone to check on the spot..."
The little prince didn't know that Fei Qian was pretending to be stupid, or he also guessed that Fei Qian was pretending to be stupid, but he had to say: "Great general...then, those lands were my previous fiefdoms, they were all...all
My land..."
Taishi Ci snorted coldly, "Your land?"
The little prince nodded.
Taishi Ci sneered disdainfully: "Since it is your land, why were you driven out? And why didn't the officials and people on those lands resist and protect you? Can such land still be considered yours?"
"Ah?" The little prince was stunned, and his expression suddenly changed, turning green and white, but after a moment he lowered his head, "Great general, that...those lands were left to me by my father...I
We can't lose those...General, this old thief has failed. He should cede his own land rather than someone else's, right? Great General, why don't you let me kill this old thief, and then I will
His land is dedicated to the general!』
Fei Qian smiled gently, "This suggestion... It's not impossible... But, you know, we Han people pay attention to order and fairness... Because he was unfair to you before, so we came, but now you
This suggestion seems unfair to him... because he used his troops to drive you away, and now you need to borrow the power of us Han people... Of course, we are good friends, and I am willing to use my personal power to
Share it with you, I can help you for free, but I am only one person, and there are so many Han people, they can’t help in vain, right?”
Fei Qian came up, helped the little prince up, still smiling, and patted the dust on the little prince's body, "Of course, this is an internal matter of your Shanshan Kingdom, and we Han people don't have anything too special."
Many opinions, you can make your own decision... Personally, I am more inclined to help you, but again... I can only represent myself... Acquiring land is not my intention,
It’s just that when you see so many of us here, we always need a place to rest, so we can’t come to your royal city every day? Isn’t that right? This is very reasonable.”
"So, there is still some time. If you have any questions, you should go and "discuss" with your subordinates or your Uncle Wang..." Fei Qian smiled, as if he was talking about something very important.
Ordinary things, "You don't seem to understand what I just said... Put it this way, the price your Uncle Wang offered is two cities and five hundred thousand gold coins... I think this price is not enough to show
The value of a Shanshan king...what do you think?"
The little prince Shanshan retreated full of sorrow and helplessness. He knew that if he wanted to impress Fei Qian, he would need to offer a higher price than Tong Grojia, but in this case, he would not be able to continue to maintain the reputation of a victim.
Image...
Does Fei Qian care whether Tong Geluojia will be the king of Shanshan or the little prince?
Obviously not.
Even if Shanshan split into East and West Shanshan because of this, Fei Qian would be able to accept it.
Can Shanshan State's promises, treaties, covenants, etc. be taken seriously?
This depends on the relative strength between countries.
Taishi Ci squinted at the little prince Shanshan, like a tiger that had just eaten a meal and saw a lamb. Although he was too lazy to move at the moment, he wanted to think about it first.
"Befriend far away and attack close by..." Tai Shici whispered, "Now the closest ones to Haitou City are Shanshan and Yanqi... Now that we have captured the land of Shanshan, we have control over both the north and the south..."
Fei Qian nodded, and then said with some seriousness on his face: "It is true, but...this land in the Western Regions does not have the importance of Hangu... The reason why Qin destroyed the six kingdoms was not because of Hangu, but because of Hangu."
Go down to Shangdang first, and after destroying Han and Zhao, then attack the south from the north... Therefore, Ziyi must carefully consider the order of the countries in the Western Regions... and not rush forward... In this land of the Western Regions, the road from north to south is long and narrow, and everything is possible
It's "Confusing Mountain"..."
Taishi Ci Zhengrong raised his hands and answered, "I will bear in mind this."
Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. Many people just stared at Qin Shihuang and thought that Qin Shihuang was very awesome. He defeated the six kingdoms in ten years. However, in fact, Qin State actually went 540 years for the highest goal of unification.
Nineteen years...
The ancestor of Qin was just a horseherd of King Zhou. In the beginning, King Qin was not even a prince.
In that era of strict hierarchy, Qin Xianggong saw that he had struggled all his life, but could not even touch the threshold of the nobility. He urgently needed to improve his "class", so he actively devoted himself to the restoration of Haojing by King Yijiu of Zhou Ping.
During the war, the Qin State began its 549-year process of unifying China.
The process of the unification of the Qin State was not smooth sailing. During the Battle of Wei, the backbone of the Qin State was almost broken. Fortunately, King Chuzhuang jumped out in time and made a mockery, attracting the attention of the Jin State.
Qin Guoneng breathed a sigh of relief and regained his blood volume...
Later, of course, it was the classic strategy of distant friendship and close attack. This kind of conspiracy was almost on the table, but it made the six kingdoms unable to resist at all. Although the six kingdoms joined forces many times, they were actually intrigues, especially only the three Jins truly joined forces.
Other countries often participate because they are afraid, otherwise it will be your death and it has nothing to do with me. When they find that they are also meat in the tiger's mouth, cooperation is impossible and they can only wait to die.
Therefore, if Fei Qian wants to conquer countries one by one in the Western Region, even if every city can be as smooth as the city of Duni, what about the losses on the march? What about the soldiers that need to be stationed locally?
Without Qin's "Fen Sixth Remaining Lieutenant", just think that Qin Shihuang can push F2A by himself. What do you want to peach?
This is what Fei Qian meant when he warned Tai Shi Ci.
In the early stage, stability is the main priority.
After all, in the early days, it was impossible for Taishi Ci to have enough troops and manpower, and it was impossible for Fei Qian to give Tai Shi Ci too much support. After all, Fei Qian had a lot to do, and it was impossible to devote all his strength to the Western Regions, so If Taishi Ci encounters the "War of Confusion" again, it will greatly delay the development of the Western Regions.
When Taishi Ci established a firm foothold in the Western Regions and had accumulated enough strength by invading nearby Western Regions countries, he would naturally be able to push forward like the Qin Kingdom did in the last ten years...
Fei Qian cast his gaze in the distance to the old monk Busen who had temporarily stopped cursing due to lack of physical strength. He smiled and gestured for someone to bring him over.
Bu Sen walked over, there was still some residual anger on his face, and he looked at Fei Qian with a very unkind look.
"I have a question, please ask the great monk..." Fei Qian did not talk to Busen about Shanshan's problem, but said, "Everyone has a butt, and the butt is a part of a person, and everything in this world is It’s up to people to decide, so my butt is involved in deciding world affairs...I wonder what the great monk thinks?"
Busen's eyes changed slightly, and he began to look at Fei Qian seriously. He lowered his head and said the Buddha's name, "People make things up, and the clothes are made up of things. How can you think about making things up while you are thinking about things apart?"
Fei Qian laughed and said, "Why does such a great monk give up looking at the whole world and only look at a certain place in the Western Region?"
Busen also laughed: "General, do you think you own the world?"
Fei Qian was not angry and continued to ask: "Who does that great monk think can rule the world?"
Busen Heshi once again declared the name of the Buddha, "Of course only the Buddha can be called the whole world."
"In that case. I would like to ask the great monk, is there only one "Buddha"?" Fei Qian asked with a smile.
Busen's expression changed, his face trembled, and then he remained silent for a long time before saying: "Everything in the ten directions and three times is Buddha, all Bodhisattvas are also Mahasattvas, and Mahaprajnaparamita..."
Fei Qian laughed loudly, "One Buddha is all Buddhas. How can the Great Monk be the Buddha of the Western Regions and not the Buddha of the Central Plains? Buddhas and Buddhas are equal. Therefore, one Buddha is all Buddhas. In one word, all Buddhas have all meanings! The merits of one Buddha are immeasurable and boundless." , is also the same as the merits and virtues of countless Buddhas. When one sees the Buddha of Infinite Life, he will see countless Buddhas in the ten directions. The great monk only sees one Buddha but not all the Buddhas. How can he gain merits? Arahants are not defiled and ignorant, but they are still undefiled. Ignorant, the five great things in the sky can be called Arhats, and the ten things can be called static and illegal. Why can't the Western Region be ruled by a Han Dynasty? If everything exists, then there should be a Han Dynasty in the Western Regions a hundred years ago. If all conditions arise, Dare I ask how the current destruction of Shanshan is not the cause of karma? Why does the great monk think that the country of the Western Region is more important than the Han Dynasty? Isn't it because he regards the Buddha's shrine as the Buddha and does not see the Buddhas of all worlds?"
"You...you..." Bu Sen obviously wanted to scold Fei Qian for disrespecting the Buddha, but he swallowed the words as they came to his lips. If Fei Qian did not regard Buddhism as the basis, Bu Sen could scold Fei Qian and despise Fei Qian, but when Bu Sen When Sen discovered that Fei Qian was familiar with Buddhism and used Buddhism to describe the affairs of the Western Regions, it was difficult for him to directly refute Fei Qian. He had to use Buddhism to refute.
But what Fei Qian said is extremely difficult to refute.
Buddha is the only one, but he is also all Buddhas.
If Busen denies the Buddha of the Han Dynasty, then he is denying all Buddhas. Similarly, if he criticizes Fei Qian's actions in Muni City as unmerciful and is the work of demons and rejects the Han people, then he must also deny the Great Heaven
Five things...
In fact, the disputes within Buddhism are no less than those within Confucianism.
Does an Arhat have any worries? Can he turn around?
Is there eternal existence or non-existence in three lifetimes?
Such things are actually just like the various schools of thought, reflecting the exploration and thinking of the world by people of that era.
Moreover, the Ten Directions Theory of Buddhism is even somewhat like the hyperspace in later science fiction, which even makes Fei Qian inevitably think about the issues of space and time in the universe...
However, one thing Feiqian can be sure of is that Busen is not a Theravada, so he must admit that the Arahant has troubles and can retreat, otherwise it will go against his original intention of preaching in the Western Regions for many years.
The status of Arhats in Buddhism is transcendent, just like the great Confucians in Confucianism, who are respected by others. However, there are millions of people in the world, and it is only because of human nature that there will be true Confucianism and false Confucianism. In the process of the development of Buddhism,
Of course, it is inevitable that some people will use the name of Arahant to deceive and cause serious damage to Buddhism. At this time, they choose to deny the transcendence of "Arahant", to distinguish who is the true and false "Great Confucian", and then let the believers meet the Arahant.
Let's do a round of scanning first. Or does it mean that being an Arahant is correct, but some "Arahants" will have the five great heavenly things, will be troubled, and will retreat?
This is like the "experts" and "experts" of later generations.
Is it because the government doesn’t know that the experts are lying?
I know that, but they never say what standards the "experts" have and how they can let ordinary people distinguish what is a specialist and what is a brick. They just blindly say that Arhats can also have wet dreams and drool because of "he ordered them to enter."
”, then it can be said that “the Tao arises due to sound”.
Otherwise, as the old saying goes, if you catch ten experts and shoot them, some of them will be unjustly accused, but if you catch ten experts and shoot nine, some of them will definitely slip through the net.
So do you dare to come up with a standard for identification?
Don’t dare!
Why don't you just close your eyes, the sky is still a good comrade, oh, a good Arhat.
In addition, Buddhism and Confucianism, as well as most knowledge inheritance processes, have problems. After the death of the original ideal communicator, it is actually very difficult for people to unify and achieve equality.
When Master Buddha died, the Buddhist family fell into pieces.
People who adhere to the Buddha's precepts stick to the Buddha's precepts and judge the ten things to be illegal. However, in the process of the spread of Buddhism, the ten things are pure. Because even the Buddha himself foresaw that the Buddha's precepts would be broken before he passed away.
When the Buddha was still alive, the disciples of the Buddha followed the teachings, lived together in harmony with each other, and practiced according to the Dharma. Although there were no major disagreements, there were differences in certain opinions and opinions, but they were able to follow the Buddha's teachings.
By observing and upholding the prescribed precepts, one can practice the path of pure holy life.
The Buddha once preached the Dharma, and all sentient beings have their own explanations for whatever troubles they have.
Therefore, there is no difference in the Buddha's teachings, but there are differences in the delusional minds of all living beings. When the Buddha was about to enter Nirvana, the Buddha knew that his later disciples would stick to small details and hinder the development of Buddhism, so he
The attendant Ananda said: "After I pass away, I should gather all the monks together and give up my fine emblems and precepts."
But it is a pity that the Buddha did not clearly explain what are the major precepts and what are the subtle precepts.
It doesn't matter if you take minor precepts or not, but gradually even the big precepts are thrown away...
After all, practicing asceticism is too painful.
Who doesn't like cheating?
There are many other names for this cheating. It is called "Sudden Enlightenment" in Buddhism, "I am thinking" in Warhammer, and it is called "System" in others...
Various other inconveniences caused by asceticism have caused many believers to lose confidence and doubt in Buddhism.
The behavioral and theoretical thresholds are too high, which is not conducive to the spread and inheritance of Buddhism.
Therefore, after the Buddhist organization gave up the precepts, it quickly became corrupted, corrupted, decayed, and collapsed into various sects and sects. They criticized and attacked each other, leaving the lotus platform stained with blood. Even though Mahayana Buddhism was later unified again, it has been forever.
Instead of the purity and glory when the Buddha was born, only the dimness and embers after the Buddha's death are left...
Fei Qian looked at the silent Busen and did not want to let him go because of this. "The World Honored One said the first note for Chanda. Was it to kill the Arhat, or to speak of the Arhat, or to practice the Arhat? If both are possible,
I am also an Arhat. If I cannot do this, the Buddha will also violate the precepts. Great monk, how do you explain this?"
Busen's eyes widened, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and his head felt swollen and buzzing.
Because Fei Qian said something very serious in Buddhism.
Just like Feiqian said in front of the believers who admired Confucianism that Confucius was unfaithful and unfilial. As a native of the Lu country, he held an official position in the Lu country. However, during the war, he did not think about being loyal and filial. He said, "What is tolerable and intolerable?"
, but with oil on his feet, he took refuge in Qi State...
There is a Chanda in Buddhism.
This guy serves as the lead driver...
Chanta had thoughts of committing suicide due to his illness. Although Shariputra and Mahadzhunta repeatedly visited Chanta and advised him not to commit suicide, the power of words obviously could not relieve Chanta physically. The pain of illness made Chanta finally choose to commit suicide.
According to the teachings of Buddhism at that time, suicide was also a kind of murderous karma, and the person who caused the murderous karma could not become an Arhat. However, the Buddha said that Chanda had attained Arhat status at the same time when he committed suicide.
This matter involves the conflict between fruition and killing. First, how can you know for sure that you are already an Arhat when you commit suicide? This is undoubtedly a big gamble. If it cannot be determined, it means that a lifetime of practice will turn into water and eventually fall into the animal realm.
If you repay the karma of killing, the consequences will be very tragic. Secondly, if an Arhat can commit suicide to attain enlightenment, then other Buddhists can also commit suicide to attain enlightenment? If so, what is the difference between Buddhism and other cults that frequently commit suicide to attain enlightenment? Thirdly, if
Suicide and nirvana can coexist, so how to define the cause and effect that occur at the same time and the sequence?
As a result, such a big hole caused many Buddhists to scratch their bald heads. They were like Confucian disciples who put dog-skin plasters on the holes in Confucian scriptures...
The Buddha said that it is not a big mistake for Chanda to commit suicide.
Considering his many years of service as a driver, consider him a Luo Han Guo!
Calculate?
Does this count?
From a human perspective, there is nothing wrong with this.
However, judging from the monastic rules, Chanda has made mistakes.
Killing is a great sin.
The monastic law was also taught by the Buddha.
This is like euthanasia. This may be the last peace and joy for a terminally ill person, but the system does not allow it. According to the system, this is killing. It is also easy to understand why the system does not allow it, because from the existing
From an institutional perspective, it is impossible to determine whether it is truly euthanasia.
If the Buddha is not a Buddha, but a human being, then it is very simple. Different people have different understandings of different things, and they can go back on what they said before at any time. This is a human being.
But Buddha can't be like this.
If a Buddha changes his mind at any time and becomes a human being, can he still be called a Buddha?
Return to secular Buddhism?
Feiqian pointed at the Kuni Palace and smiled at Busen: "If Chanda can become an Arhat, then you and I are Shariputra and Mahadzunda, here to help him make his own choice... If Chanta cannot become an Arhat,
, then if I ask Tong Grojia to redeem him now, aren't I also saving Tong Grojia? Why is the great monk angry?"
Busen was completely defeated and had no words to reply. He could only keep chanting the Buddha's name.
However, it doesn’t mean that you can just close your eyes and pretend it doesn’t exist.
Fei Qian smiled gently, and under the Shanshan Palace, prepared to give Bu Sen the final blow...
