Of course Jiang Yuer has no soldiers, he only has a few clones.
It's a small team at best.
However, he had his own plan, and this plan naturally required the help of Emperor Pingle, so he said: "Your Majesty should know that Buddhism is about to enter the capital?"
"I know, do you want to..."
"There is likely to be a "debate" between Buddhism and Taoism. Perhaps we can take advantage of this opportunity!" Jiang Yu'er expressed his thoughts.
"What do you want to do? Let me negotiate with Buddhism privately?" Emperor Pingle nodded, as if he had thought of something: "But, I don't know what Buddhism wants? Moreover, what if the conditions offered by Buddhism are
If it’s too harsh, the Queen Mother may not agree to it, right?”
"Direct negotiations are not the best approach."
"What do you mean?"
"It's actually very simple. As long as the Buddhists see the strength of our Da Qin, then they will naturally make a "wise" choice at the critical moment."
"That's it." Emperor Pingle came to his senses and said, "It seems that Ambassador Jiang has already made a plan. What does he need from me? I will definitely cooperate with him."
"first……"
…
time flies.
Three days later, the Buddhist envoys from the Western Regions arrived at the gate of Xianyang, the capital city.
Such a group of monks holding scriptures and wearing cassocks naturally attracted the attention of the people.
Especially one of them, a huge white elephant, attracted people's attention.
It was a giant elephant that was as high as two floors of attic and covered in snow-white. Its two pure white tusks were inlaid with golden rings, and carved with Buddha images full of the cultural colors of the Western Regions.
Moreover, above the white elephant, there is a young man wearing a bright yellow cassock, sitting on it with his eyes slightly closed.
It is the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of Buddhism.
White elephant, Bodhisattva, plus unique music from the Western Regions.
It's difficult to keep the crowd from watching.
"Look,
What a big white elephant!”
"I heard that the Buddhist Bodhisattva sitting on the white elephant is so powerful!"
"Yes, yes... I have never seen anyone sitting on a white elephant."
The crowd talked a lot and looked at him with admiration.
Kong Xiang was sitting on an open carriage at this time, following closely behind the white elephant. He knew that Buddhism's intention of establishing a "sacred" image had been basically achieved.
"Amitabha!"
The resounding Buddha's name came from Samantabhadra's mouth.
The crowd seemed to have received some kind of "inspiration", and everyone immediately put their hands together and worshiped Samantabhadra, their faces full of piety.
In an attic.
Fenglingzi straightened his black Taoist robe and looked at Samantabhadra on the white elephant with a slightly furrowed brow.
Opposite him were Jiang Chaoge and Wu Lingzi.
"It seems that the person who came here is not good." Feng Lingzi snorted softly: "To be able to use Buddhism to forcefully inspire the people, this Samantabhadra's cultivation is probably unfathomable."
"The Western Region is vast. Although it is not as good as our Qin Dynasty, there are many countries and they are fighting endlessly. However, Buddhism is a dominant family. Its prestige is even higher than that of the kings of the countries in the Western Region. Naturally, it has its own methods." Jiang Chaoge picked up the
I took a small sip from the teacup in front of me.
Wu Lingzi asked curiously: "Brother, do you also know about the culture of the Western Regions?"
"Well, I have traveled to the Western Regions, so I have some understanding." Jiang Chaoge nodded lightly.
Feng Lingzi snorted again: "Most of the Buddhist teachings in the Western Region Buddhism are transmitted to our orthodox Taoist sect. If Brother Jiang wants to understand Buddhism, it would be faster to directly understand Taoism."
Jiang Chaoge smiled.
Fenglingzi’s words are not completely out of place. Indeed, many Buddhist scriptures originate from Taoism. Even in the legend of “conferred gods”, many powerful “Buddhas” in Buddhism were originally Taoist cultivators of immortality.
It seems that in any world...the battle between Buddhism and Taoism is inevitable.
Jiang Chaoge did not delve into this issue, but asked casually: "I heard that Taoist Master Jin Lingzi has agreed to return to Jixia. I wonder when he can arrive in the capital?"
"It should be in the next day or two." Wu Lingzi thought

After thinking for a while, he said: "Senior Brother Jin Lingzi came here with me, as well as Junior Sister Lei Lingzi, but unfortunately, Senior Brother Tu Lingzi..."
Mentioning Jin Lingzi, Wu Lingzi thought of Tu Lingzi's death again, and seemed to feel a little depressed.
Jiang Chaoge could only say: "Don't worry, little sister, we will definitely avenge Tu Lingzi's revenge."
"Yes." Wu Lingzi nodded, and his face regained its calmness: "Brother, do you have any other opinions on the Buddhists' entry into Beijing?"
"It's called debate, but it's actually robbing the state religion!" Jiang Chaoge replied calmly.
"Hmph." Fenglingzi took a sip of tea and said, "Don't even think about it!"
Three people were chatting.
A young man also wearing a black robe came over.
First he saluted Feng Lingzi: "Jiang Chenshui, I have met Uncle Feng!"
After saying that, he bowed to Wu Lingzi again: "Disciple Jiang Chenshui, I would like to pay my respects to Master."
"Well, get up." Wu Lingzi stood up, helped Jiang Chenshui up, and pointed at Jiang Chaoge: "This is my senior brother, his name is Jiang Chaoge."
Brother? Jiang Chenshui was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Jiang Chaoge, who was younger than himself, with a rather strange expression on his face.
However, he still saluted quickly and said: "Jiang Chenshui, I have met Master Jiang."
"My nephew is so polite." Jiang Chaoge felt a little funny in his heart, but on the surface he still looked like a master: "I don't know if my nephew is here, but I didn't prepare any greeting gifts."
Generally speaking, this is a "polite" word, and you will be given some amount of greeting gift.
But after Jiang Chaoge finished speaking, he didn't make any move.
Jiang Chenshui's expression was dull again, and then he replied respectfully: "Uncle is an elder, Jiang Chenshui doesn't dare."
When Wu Lingzi saw this, he asked Jiang Chenshui to sit down: "When Master and his elder brother were sworn sworn brothers in Hanzhong County, there was also a third brother named Jiang Erlang, who was the golden flag of the Night Reconnaissance Department."
"Yes..." Jiang Chenshui nodded silently.
Jiang Erlang's name...he had heard of it.
He was not sure about Jiang Chaoge's age, but he knew Jiang Erlang's age very well. He was really younger than him.
Of course, as a disciple, he has no right to choose and can only accept it.
When Feng Lingzi saw Wu Lingzi finished his introduction, he spoke: "Chen Shui, you are the youngest genius in our Taoist sect. This time we asked you to come because there is something we need you to prepare for..."
"Is it a matter of debate between Buddhism and Taoism?"
"Yes." Feng Lingzi nodded: "Buddhism sent a Bodhisattva this time, but there is also a Buddhist genius named "Kong Xiang" among them. You should understand what we mean?"
"Well, Jiang Chenshui understands."
…
…
Buddhists from the Western Regions came to Beijing, this time representing the countries of the Western Regions.
Da Qin naturally treated each other with "national courtesy".
Therefore, after the Buddhist party entered the capital, they immediately arrived at the entrance of the palace.
Prime Minister Han Shen personally led all the officials to welcome him, and then took Puxian Bodhisattva, Baozhi and Kongxiang into the palace to pay homage to Queen Mother Yuan and Heping Le Emperor Ying Qi.
After receiving the "letter of credence" handed over by Samantabhadra, the Queen Mother spoke: "Buddhism comes to Beijing at the right time. Our country, Qin, is about to establish Taoism as the state religion. I heard that Buddhism and Taoism have a long history.
, when Samantabhadra Bodhisattva arrives, you may be able to go and have a look."
When Pu Xian heard this, he clasped his hands with a calm expression and said, "Taoism and Buddhism do have some connections. Buddhism dare not disobey the empress dowager and the emperor's kindness."
There was no intention of "fighting" at all.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Samantabhadra to stay in the capital for a while, and at the same time, take a good look at the customs and culture of our country, Qin."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you very much, Emperor!" Samantabhadra saluted again, and then said: "However, the Central Plains has always been about "reciprocity", and I, the Buddha, also intend to take this opportunity to learn about the culture of the Qin Dynasty, exchange ideas, and jointly explore ways to save the world.
"
"Oh? How do you want Samantabhadra to communicate with you?" The Queen Mother naturally knew what Samantabhadra meant.
"I heard that the culture of the Central Plains all originated from Jixia, and recently hundreds of schools of thought have the intention of returning to Jixia. What I mean is that if it is possible

, I want to participate in the exchange of hundreds of schools." Puxian said calmly.
"What?!"
Some officials couldn't hold it back and shouted in surprise.
The Queen Mother's face was also a little strange, because, according to Samantabhadra...the purpose of going to Beijing this time was to use Buddhism to fight against hundreds of schools of thought?
This is obviously somewhat different from the "Buddhist and Taoist debate" she originally envisioned.
But the Queen Mother is dignified after all.
Even though she was surprised, she still replied: "There are hundreds of schools of thought, each with its own strengths. Since Buddhism and Taoism are closely related, is it appropriate to communicate with Taoism first?"
"The Queen Mother has misunderstood me, Buddha." Samantabhadra shook his head: "My Buddha only wants to spread the Dharma. Since various schools of thought have their own talents, of course they must communicate together, so that we can reflect the tolerance and compassion of our Buddha."
Arrogant!
This was the first thought of all the officials after listening to Puxian's words.
The Queen Mother has obviously given Buddhism a step forward, but Buddhism still insists on challenging hundreds of schools with one family, trying to cover up hundreds with one method. Isn't this arrogance?
No wonder Pu Xian showed no concern when the Queen Mother just mentioned that she wanted to establish "Taoism" as the state religion.
"Gene Era"
If Buddhism really "occupies the top position" in the debate among hundreds of schools of thought, whether or not to fight... Da Qin established Taoism as the state religion will become a joke.
The Queen Mother's face showed contemplation.
Because this is different from what she imagined, or in other words, different from what everyone expected.
However, now that Buddhism has made such a request in the court, and it is in the capacity of the envoy of the Western Region Kingdom, how can Da Qin lose its etiquette and refuse?
Prime Minister Han Shen also frowned at this time.
He finally understood why Buddhism chose to enter Beijing at this time.
…
Samantabhadra waited for a while, but received no reply, so he clasped his hands together again, chanted the Buddha's name, and then said: "Three hundred years ago, the First Emperor gathered hundreds of schools in Jixia. Because our Buddhist sect was far away in the Western Regions, we did not
I am honored to participate. Today I have the opportunity for hundreds of families to return to Jixia. I really don’t want to miss it. I hope the Queen Mother and the Emperor of Qin can allow it.”
The Queen Mother looked at the silent officials below with her phoenix eyes.
Han Shen knew that he could no longer "sit down and ignore", so he could only stand up: "Buddhism wants to communicate with hundreds of schools of thought, which is a good thing. However, there are still a few of the hundreds of schools of thought that have not yet arrived. I, Da Qin,
As a land of etiquette, this matter still needs to be discussed with hundreds of schools before we can give a reply to Buddhism."
When Puxian heard this, he smiled and said: "The coast of Sui Tu is not the king's land. This Central Plains world belongs to Da Qin, and these hundreds of schools naturally belong to Da Qin. I am willing to wait for the reply from the Queen Mother and Emperor of Da Qin."
This can be said to be extremely high-level.
Although it seems that he is willing to wait, the meaning is very obvious...
If Da Qin does not agree, it means that Da Qin cannot control the world and cannot control hundreds of schools of thought.
Han Shen's brows furrowed even deeper.
Just as he was about to say something more, he saw the Queen Mother wave her hand towards him.
So Han Shen retreated.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Samantabhadra Bodhisattva can visit Jixia Academy first. As for the exchange with hundreds of schools of thought, Daqin will naturally give a satisfactory answer to Buddhism."
"Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Puxian bowed and expressed his gratitude.
Then, he took Monk Baozhi and Kong Xiang out of the hall.
…
Inside the palace.
After seeing the three of Puxian going out.
The civil and military officials couldn't stand any longer and spoke one after another.
"Isn't this Buddhism too arrogant?"
"Do they want to regard me, Da Qin, as the kingdoms of the Western Regions?"
"The intention is very obvious. The Buddhist sect wants to take advantage of this opportunity for hundreds of schools to return to Jixia to use Buddhism to suppress the hundreds of schools, so that we will only have one Buddhist sect in Great Qin from now on!"
"Hmph, we, the Qin Dynasty, rule the country by law, so what's the use of Buddhism's Dharma?"
"ridiculous."
The civil and military officials were obviously unhappy.
After all, there are "Legalists" and "Confucians" in this court.
When Buddhism makes such a request, it actually means they don't take them seriously.
Queen Mother, listen

Fang Baiguan's expression on his face was actually a bit uncomfortable when he was talking. However, when countries intersect, there are some things that you can't just refuse if you feel uncomfortable.
After Han Shen heard what the officials said, he spoke again: "The Queen Mother, as I wish... it is best to let the Taoist and Buddhist debates first."
In fact, Jiang Yuer and Luo Yu visited the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago.
I also discussed with him the "debate" between Taoism and Buddhism.
However, no one expected that Buddhism would suddenly change its mind and no longer target Taoism, but would want to compete with hundreds of schools at the same time.
The Queen Mother actually knew the significance of this matter.
Just waiting to speak...
Emperor Pingle Yingqi, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "The culture of hundreds of schools, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com is the foundation of our Da Qin culture. Our Da Qin should have this confidence, and the hundreds of schools will not lose to Buddhism."
"But……"
"Your Majesty is right." The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Pingle for the first time at this time, with a bright light shining in her eyes: "Since Buddhism wants to communicate with hundreds of schools of thought, then let's go with their wishes.
So what does it mean? Could it be that the Confucian culture, Taoism, and Legalism that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years... and the inheritance of hundreds of schools of thought are not as good as one Buddhist sect?"
"..."
Say it in one word.
None of the civil and military officials said anything more.
Although they knew the intentions of Buddhism, as Emperor Pingle and the Queen Mother said, Da Qin could not lose its etiquette, let alone its cultural confidence!
