Chapter 53 The three are all flesh and seven bones
The old layman Xiao Ziliang laughed loudly. Although he was already a man with crane's beard and chicken's skin, his laughter was still as wild as a naughty boy.
How could someone with such a temperament be able to become a religious convert? Qingyun was also secretly surprised.
Just listen to the old monk raise his hoarse voice, as if to show off,
"I don't want to cut off this incense.
But if I don’t stop, the monks and children will fight me tooth and nail!
Can you see the size of the book collections in the wing rooms on both sides of this ancient paper temple?
Apart from the secretaries and supervisors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there are probably only two great families in the world, Xuandu and Lu's collection of books in the Northern Kingdom, and Shen and Ren in the Southern Dynasties that can rival Wang Shuxian's private collection.
His collection of books is extremely valuable, so even the old Taoist has to be wary of it."
Qingyun remembered that Xiao Chonghua had used the word "decoration" when describing this place. It turned out to be because of the incense on the walls of this temple. He couldn't help but feel respectful and changed his folded hands into folds.
"The younger generation understands that as long as you recite sutras, worship the Buddha, and respect the Three Jewels with your heart, those forms are all false."
"Hey? This little friend is quite transparent."
Qingyun suddenly smiled slyly,
"Juniors just don't understand that many of these collections of classics and histories are just the rude words of the world of mortals.
Seniors who are willing to give up the incense of Buddhism for these rude words in the world are not people who stick to the past.
As far as I know, not only Wang Shuxian and Quan Shenyi were former staff members of Prince Jingling's palace.
Xiao Yan, Ren Shentong, Chu Tongzi, and Taishi Shuming were all old acquaintances.
Buddhism cannot only save one person, it should be carried far and far to benefit the whole world.
Therefore, there is the meaning of clear pictures and safe roads.
An old friend came from thousands of miles away and wrote with great care to ask, why did my senior give up even the most basic etiquette of replying to a letter?"
The old layman twisted his beard and snorted coldly,
"You're such a glib guy, you're starting to get a little unpleasant.
A seasoned person doesn't need to read a letter to know what it means. If you are eager to reply, that's no problem.
Monks and Confucians grind it. Poor Taoists dictate it, and you write it."
Just as Wang Sengru agreed, Qingyun shouted, "Wait a minute!"
He saw Xiao Ziliang looking at him with a somewhat unhappy look, so he smiled again and used the last resort Xiao Yan taught him.
"Master Xiao heard that when his predecessor was in the Southern Dynasties, he was never able to obtain a gift from Jiang Yan, which was a pity.
So he specifically begged Jiang Caizi and drafted this letter in his own handwriting. Do you really not want to read it?"
"Jiang Lang? When he was young, he once dreamed of writing and became a noisy writer.
But later I heard that his writing skills were exhausted and he had not produced any good works for many years.
Is this just an excuse because he doesn't want to humble himself and serve the new king?
Come on, since it's really Jiang Lang's calligraphy, you might as well take a look.
Monks and Confucians, please read it for me. My eyes are no longer useful!"
Qingyun was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over the letter.
The envelope was lacquered and had been kept properly. Wang Sengru checked carefully to confirm that it was correct, then tore open the envelope, took out the paper, and read aloud:
"In the past, Huilin sat down and got seventeen relics, which she offered to Lanruo on the east mountain. Emperor Gao and Yan went back to pay a visit. They saw clouds and clouds in the sky, and the sun and moon were in the same sky. The emperor said: 'This is a sign of the replacement of Zhuo Yao.' Yan Hui He lost his manners in panic, staggered, and lost his crown three times. He said: "Liu Huizhen is brilliant and wise, and her poems, books, classics, and history can never be forgotten by looking at them; the feathers of palace merchants are swirling around like flowing glasses; she folds silk to make her own clothes, and polishes them with pearls and jade to enhance her luster." .The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and its wings are flying. (The author's case: the wings are spreading in the south, and the bullfighting is in the north. Qi is in the Southern Dynasty, corresponding to the palace of the Suzaku); The silver armor reflects the light of thousands of miles. The civil and military affairs in the territory are prosperous, and your Majesty's blood is upright. How can you say this?'
The emperor said: 'The robin (starling) can speak, but is inferior to the cicada. The blackbird is good at music, but it cannot beat the sparrow. What benefit does a woman's skill and tricks do to the country? Those who play with people lose their virtue, and those who play with things lose their morale.
Wenchang and Wulong, the people of the land, are worthy of being the emperor's sword. Can they be given the handle to a common man who wants to seize his ambition?'
Yan replied: "In the past, Emperor Ping passed away, the Han Dynasty collapsed, and Wang Jujun stood up to support the country. The nine princes, princes, and ministers filled the family, and the power was not weak. The barter was reorganized and all the old diseases were eliminated. The ambition was not weak."
The government orders are thunderbolts, the swords and axes are opened and closed, and the actions are not bad; the great Confucian Confucianism is fierce but not domineering, and the praise is not bad. The giant king pours his four, breathing and roaring all over the world, stamping his feet and falling into the eight wastes.
Extremely, is it possible to forcefully adopt the method of killing snakes and changing the sun? Confessing the princes to please the scholars, and the scholars will use their guidance; reward the troops and give them salaries to comfort the generals, but the generals will turn against them; abolish the slaves, return their status, and pardon the world.
Those who cause robbers roar in the green forest; those who merge the land and divide it into royal fields; those who introduce righteousness dye their eyebrows red, why? The Master said: If the name is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly; if the words are not right, then the things will not be accomplished.'
The emperor said: "You have no plan! You are responsible for all troubles. Abolition of slaves harms people, abolishing businessmen harms people, deposes barbarian kings, the world is in turmoil, and the army is worried. Fighting for land and acres will cause disasters, but freeing slaves will have no problem."
To cause trouble because of things, to induce sudden pain in order to drive away old maladies, just like aconite is used to cure hunger, and poison is used to quench thirst. If the world is not cured, it is just a play.'
Yan replied: "But what does it mean to know?"
The emperor said: 'The great ancestor did not have the majesty of the first emperor, nor the courage of the overlord. He conquered Xianyang and defeated Qin Zuo.
), a concubine, who whips his whip to make a promise, and shows his banner as an oath to stop fighting (quoted from "The Oath of Shepherd"), he knows the time. Today, he has his own ministers to organize the government and support the people, and to quell the rebellion and the imperial prisoner Xiao Chiaxe, this is what I
Scholars. The golden sword (Liu family) will make all the stars fall, and the women of the Northern Yi are in charge. This is my time. In troubled times, it is necessary to strengthen the dragon to suppress it. At that time, great achievements will eventually be tabooed. If a person cannot transform into a dragon, he will become a disaster.
Do you think so?'
Yanhui was afraid of facing him directly, but Nuonuo Weiwei was trembling with fear, "It was as if I was deafened by the words spoken in the trenches. He said: He can be replaced!"
Xiao Ziliang shook his head and praised,
"Well, Jiang Yan is indeed a master of novels. Although the idea of writing flowers in a dream is not his first creation, this old idea was put to good use as soon as this new idea came out.
Interesting, interesting.
At this time, he was secretly attracted by the pearl, but he could not hide his desire for Bole.
If you meet the Ming Lord in the future, you will definitely be able to show off to Qiji again.
This poem does not mention what it wants. It uses the question and answer form of "Qifa" as its bones and the parallel algae of "Sandu" as its flesh. Not bad, not bad!
Monk and Confucian, make a copy for the poor Taoist."
The original document is here and needs to be copied, but Wang Sengru does not ask why, as long as Xiao Ziliang orders it, he will do it.
This is not a letter in the standard sense, but a short poem that records a conversation between the famous Southern Qi official Chu Yuan and the Gao Emperor Xiao Daocheng.
At that time, the Southern Dynasty was still in the Liu Song Dynasty, and the monk and Prime Minister Huilin was enthroned, and the relics were enshrined in Dongshan Temple on Hongshan Mountain in Wuhan today.
Xiao Daocheng and Chu Yuan (named Yanhui) rushed to pay their respects and saw the wonderful scene in the mountains of the setting sun dyeing the sea of clouds and the sun and moon in the sky.
Xiao Daocheng sighed at that time, things are going to change!
Chu Yuan was so frightened that his hat fell off. He thought that the last emperor Liu Yu (also known as Huizhen) was intelligent, had a photographic memory and was skillful in craftsmanship. The Song Dynasty was very powerful. He didn't understand why Xiao Daocheng suddenly said this?
Xiao Daocheng directly accused Liu Yu of playing with things and losing his ambition, which means that the country will soon become a general.
Chu Yuan immediately cited the example of Wang Mang (also known as Jujun) as a warning.
He believed that at that time, Wang Mang was a high-ranking member of the old Qi State, with a transcendent status. He wanted to save the country from danger and had lofty ambitions. He carried out thorough reforms and was vigorous and resolute. He had wise ministers, fierce warriors, and many talents under his command. He had four major advantages to dethrone the emperor and change the Yuan Dynasty, but none of them succeeded.
,Why?
The name is not correct and the words are not correct.
But Xiao Daocheng disagreed. He thought that Wang Mang was stupid and brought trouble on himself.
Although his policies brought benefits to slaves and merchants, they also touched the fundamental interests of the gentry and some rich peasants.
People competed for land, and the concentration of freed slaves became the biggest destabilizing factor in public security, causing turmoil in the world and rebellions.
So what should smart people do?
Xiao Daocheng said that Liu Bang had neither the majesty of Qin Shihuang nor the bravery of King Chu, but he killed them all because he knew how to use people.
Emperor Guangwu came from a humble background. He raised his arms and shouted and the crowd responded. He was good at seizing the opportunity.
Now as long as Chu Yuan and Xiao Chiaxe support him, the civil and military humerus will be in Xiao Daocheng's hands.
The generals loyal to the Liu family were either old or dead, and the Northern Dynasty was in chaos when the Queen Mother came to court, so it was a good time.
Xiao Daocheng's status is transcendent. If he doesn't transform into a dragon, he will be tabooed by the royal family, so he must take action.
When Chu Yuan heard this, he hurriedly took off his hat and lowered his head to show his submission. He praised the two of them at this moment, just like the oaths Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo made when they stood on the embankment and watched the King of Qin's ceremonial guard: He can take his place!
Chu Yuan's last sentence is the key to Jiang Yan's entire text, as it hints that Xiao Ziliang can return to Qi to take Xiao Luan's place.
The civil and military affairs of the Southern Dynasty responded to the order, while the Northern Dynasty was undergoing restructuring and internal friction. The timing was perfect.
