Chapter 62 The three religions turned out to be one family
Tangtang drank the ginseng soup from a small bowl. Duanhong didn't care whether the dinner was cold or not. The food was very sweet. After a while, she finished all the food on the table. Looking back, Tangtang was still drinking the ginseng soup.
So I walked quietly to the edge of the gauze curtain and looked at the doll inside.
The child was only seven or eight months old and was a girl. Duan Hong felt pain for the child almost to the point of his heart. He wanted to hug the child, but was afraid that he would wake the child up by being rough.
It was so difficult to give birth to this child. Tangtang almost died. If they had not taken an old ginseng from the Yun family, they and their daughter would have died long ago.
"Actually, the reason why I don't want to drink ginseng soup is because I don't want you to owe the Yun family too much." Tangtang whispered quietly.
Duan Hong wiped his face and said with a smile: "At that time, you were struggling for your life in the delivery room. I couldn't help you at all except being anxious outside. When Po Wen said that your lives were in danger, the sky fell at that time. Don't
No matter how much you owe someone a favor, I'll give it to you even if it takes my life.
Since you have already sacrificed your life, then collect all your capital. If you have money, you can't buy this kind of old ginseng anywhere. If the Yun family wants me to work hard, they must ensure that you mother and daughter live well."
Tangtang snuggled into Duan Hong's arms and said, "I'm actually very stupid. If I had married you earlier, my mother would have been able to see you get married, and she wouldn't have been unable to close her eyes before leaving.'
Duan Hong smiled and said: "Mother knows, she knows you will definitely marry me..."
The stars in the night sky are blinking constantly, and the small room is filled with the atmosphere of happiness, but compared to the entire noisy city, the happiness here is just countless broken fragments.
This is a city that never sleeps. If an immortal looked down from high in the sky at this time, he would be surprised to find that there is a bright light in the dark Eastern Hemisphere. This is the most glorious civilization created by mankind in this era.
In the vast land outside the light, there are countless evil wolves hidden. Their gloomy eyes glow green in the night sky. They cannot create such light, but they have a heart that yearns for the light...
After the sun came out, the earth shone brightly. What was more dazzling than the sun were the eleven Garudas. Eleven naked warriors walked heavily towards the palace with the Garudas tied with iron chains on their backs.
All extremely heavy.
The golden garuda gleams under the morning sun, especially the first garuda carried by Han Niu. It is even more dazzling, and the various colored gems inlaid on it reflect a maddening light.
Compared with the brilliant Garuda, Yun Zheng is like an eternal darkness. His body is completely hidden under the black armor. A colorful ancient sword with its sheath is held in Yun Zheng's hand, only two of them are exposed.
The eyes were glowing with cold light, and the big green horse under its crotch was already a little old, but that didn't stop it from moving forward with its head held high.
Countless Tokyoites got up very early just to see this legendary Buddha.
"What a good thing. No wonder Yun Shuai would rather kill thousands of Dali monks to get this thing back. For these treasures, killing ten thousand is not much."
"Amitabha, you are not afraid of going to hell even if you say these words. In my opinion, this is pure banditry. How can you be a monk?"
"You know nothing. Just by chanting Buddha's name all day long, the Dali people killed many of us in Jianchang Prefecture. General Cao Rong's head was cut off. It is a logical thing for us to attack Dali. We did not destroy Dali."
The emperor of the country has already given him an advantage by catching him."
"But killing the monk..."
"How are you going to get these treasures back without killing? Everyone knows that the sesame oil in Daxiangguo Temple is rich in money. You can try touching their merit boxes and see if those monks with sticks don't beat you to death..."
Yun Zheng sat on the horse and sighed over and over again. He couldn't do what he had already thought of. Last night, his teacher Lu Qingyuan came to his house to give him a lesson.
This class is about the origin of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The three families of red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots were originally one family. This is what this class is about.
The idea of the unity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism first emerged in the Tang Dynasty. Although the discussion of the three religions began during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that celebrities from the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism began to discuss difficulties, and it gradually became more and more popular.
And tend to blend and harmonize.
The lecture on the unification of the three religions led scholars to explain the meaning of Confucian classics through the interpretation of moral principles, thus promoting the transformation of Confucian thought. Obviously, the Tang people had already started this process.
Yun Zheng was a pseudo-literary in the Song Dynasty, and he knew almost nothing about the current academic thought of the Song Dynasty. He did not know that Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was now embracing Buddhist and Taoist theories in an eclectic way.
With Confucianism as the exterior, Taoism as the interior, and Buddhism as the return, it is called the Three Religions. This is something new that Confucian scholars have studied.
The Confucian literati and scholars of the Great Song Dynasty advocated the unification of the three religions, and soon received responses from people of Buddhism and Taoism. They also found many similarities between Confucianism and Buddhism.
For example: Confucianism says ‘Wuji’, ‘Taiji’, which is what Buddha calls ‘all dharmas return to one’.
‘Where does one return to?’; Confucianism says ‘it is better to sit quietly than to read’, which is what Buddhism said ‘don’t establish words, directly point out the mind and see the nature to become a Buddha’;
Confucianism says, ‘No intention, no necessity, no solidity, no self’, which is what Buddhism calls ‘empty space, absolute appearance, everything is unimpeded’. Obviously, this is the fusion of Confucianism and Buddhism.
Yun Zheng originally thought that scholar-bureaucrats had received a good set of traditional Confucian education since childhood and should be defenders of Confucianism.
However, the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty, whether they were important officials in the imperial court or minor officials in prefectures and counties, whether they were in office or living in the countryside, were all advocates of Buddhism and Taoism, and even became the "protectors" of Buddhist temples. Today's trend is that scholars use
It is elegant to associate with people of Buddhism and Taoism.
Lu Qingyuan even used Wugou and Xiaolin as an example, telling Yunzheng that the return of the three religions was a general trend that could not be questioned. Once Yunzheng opened fire on Buddhism, Yunzheng himself would be the only unlucky person in the future. If Yunzheng hindered the three religions,
The general trend of religious unification will face an unprecedentedly fierce counterattack.
Yun Zheng couldn't imagine the scene where monks, Taoist priests, and Confucian scholars all attacked him. Even the emperor couldn't handle such a scene, let alone a martial artist himself.
Lu Qingyuan was an expert among experts in the Song Dynasty. After retiring from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs the year before last, he became the director of the Imperial Academy and a bachelor of Fuwen Pavilion.
He knew Yun Zheng very well, and knew that he would not resist after being wronged. He came to Yun Zheng with a precautionary attitude, and found eleven golden-winged birds.
If only one statue is normal, but eleven are taken out at once, it means that Yun Zheng is definitely up to no good.
Lu Qingyuan warned Yun Zheng not to act recklessly. At this time, handing over the conflict was the wisest choice. So, Yun Zheng presented the golden-winged bird to the emperor with great fanfare.
As for why we snatched the Garuda, the excuse is easy to find. It was to pray for the emperor and wish him a speedy recovery with the blessing of the Buddha.
Zhao Zhen, who was half lying on the bed, had smiles in his eyes, and his eyes were rolling around to look at the eleven golden-winged birds placed in the main hall.
Zou Tong translated for a long time and then confirmed again and again before he said to Yun Zheng tremblingly: "Your Majesty thinks you hate him to death!"
Because he was in the inner palace, Yun Zheng didn't really care about the emperor's words. The emperor had said this to him before.
Yun Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Why did your Majesty say this? The loyalty and respect of the ministers can be expressed every day."
Zou Tong opened his mouth and said again: "Your Majesty said that divine objects have spirits, and killing is the most taboo. It is obviously an auspicious sign. If after your killing, the auspicious sign is stained with blood, it is not a good sign. I am afraid it will turn into a deadly ghost."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is overly worried. I knew this was a possibility, so I transformed the original Garuda into a hundred fires and burned it again, making it even more glorious than before.
Even if there was anything wrong, it was all burned away by the raging fire, and what is before His Majesty is the clean Song Xiangrui."
Zhao Zhen's eyes were very lively today. Zou Tong quickly translated and said hurriedly: "I guess what you said is reasonable. These golds will be regarded as the price for me to take the blame for you. However, you want to spend this time with peace of mind."
Please, you must do something for me."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the king of me. If you want me to do anything, just issue the decree. Why find other excuses?"
Tongdao Zou: "It's different, it's different. You have to do it willingly. If you need to make a will, you can't do it well."
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear."
Zou Tong clapped his hands, and there was a sound of footsteps behind Yun Zheng. He turned around and saw a little boy walking out from the depths of the hall very carefully.
"The general fought bloody battles in Dali, and his hard work and merit are great. The lonely king expresses his gratitude on behalf of his father."
Yun Zheng did not return the gift, but just stared at the child. He knew that the child should be the prince Zhao Xu, but now that he was the prince's eunuch, there was no need to salute him.
After being a general for many years, there were not many people in the army who dared to look at Yun Zheng. Zhao Xu persisted for a moment and then had to turn his eyes elsewhere. This scene made Zhao Zhen clearly see it from the bed.
Somewhat disappointed.
"Yun Yue said that you have learned how to control your anger and are qualified to learn the art of battle formation from me. Why don't you even dare to look at me now? Is this your inner persistence?"
Yun Zheng suddenly stood up from the chair as he spoke. The armor all over his body made a clanging sound. Facing Yun Zheng, who was covered in armor and holding a sword, Zhao Xu couldn't help but take three steps back. He sat down on the ground and looked at his own eyes in panic.
Father.
Both Zhao Zhen and Zou Tong turned their attention elsewhere, and no one looked at poor Zhao Xu.
Yun Zheng squatted in front of Zhao Xu and said: "The strength of a person is first of all the strength of the heart. You dared to call me the lonely king just now, why do you almost wet your pants now?
What His Majesty wants me to do must not be an ordinary thing, and now I am certain that it must be related to the newly trained warriors.
Your Highness, since those people are called warriors, they must be extremely fierce people. You want to use their strength for your own use. Do you think you can do it with such cowardice?" (To be continued)
