Chapter 1525: Futu (Page 1/1)

The commanded guard went down the mountain. Yuan Quan was carrying a tray out of it. He stopped him and asked a few questions, and then asked the guard to go. She slowly walked up the mountain, and her long skirt swayed like water waves as the steps moved, and her slender legs appeared and faintly under the soft long skirt. She was holding the tray in her hand and had to sideways slightly, with a very wonderful curvaceous beauty and rhythm.

When Sun Ce saw it at the top of the mountain, his anger was slightly reduced. He took a few steps, took the tray with one hand, held her hand with the other, and led her into the pavilion.

"Why are you here? Two children are below. Why don't you stay and take care of them? Just let Lan'er bring them up."

"Sister Lan was frightened by you and dared not come." Yuan Quan said with a smile.

Sun Ce placed the tray on the railing, sat sideways, picked up a piece of pastry with one hand, picked up a tea cup with the other, ate a bite of pastry, took a sip of tea, and praised it twice before saying, "Did you know about this pagoda?"

"Since King Ying of Chu sacrificed to Futu, the Futu has been spreading in Xuzhou for more than a hundred years. How could she not know? As for me, you will not forget how our Yuan family started." Yuan Quan smiled. "I am a little strange. I have never seen any interactions with the people in the Futu, and I have never read a page of the Futu scriptures. Why are you so disgusted with Futu?"

Sun Ce was stunned. This is indeed a problem. How should I explain it?

"Gao Wenhui is a cautious man. As a military commander, he has always been loyal to his duties. If there is anything wrong with the Buddha, how can he indulge him? What are you going to say to him later?"

Sun Ce's eyes flashed slightly, and he stuffed the pastry in his hand into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Yuan Quan reminded him in time. He had limited knowledge of Futu, and he would argue with Gao Rou later. What if he was argued by Gao Rou? Gao Rou's name is Rou, but he is not gentle at all, otherwise he would not be able to become an official like Jun Zheng who offends others. If there is no sufficient reason, it is difficult to make him obey, and even if he is convinced, he will not be convinced. The bureaucratic style of suppressing people at the top of his official position has always hated the pain. At this time, when changing his style, it is inevitable that people will think that he was so arrogant and full of ambition after defeating Yuan Shao.

At such a delicate moment, of course, he could not make such a mistake and push talents to his opponent. Gao Rou was from Chenliu. Although Zhang Miao agreed to cooperate with him, he was not his jurisdiction after all. Even if he was in his jurisdiction, if he could not treat others with courtesy, a talented man would abandon him.

"I understand." Sun Ce swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and his mood had calmed down. Yuan Quan didn't say anything else, and changed the topic. "I just received a letter from Chang'an that my aunt was going to Yecheng to attend the funeral, and then she would come to her hometown in Ruyang. If it was convenient, she wanted to go to Yuzhang to see it, and maybe she would celebrate the New Year there. She asked me if I could take time to accompany her."

Sun Ce looked at Yuan Quan, a little confused. "Your aunt is alone?"

Yuan Quan smiled. "She didn't say it, but when I heard that tone, my uncle probably wanted to go together, but the itinerary may not be exactly the same. This is for both public and private, and it may be to explore the verbal first."

Sun Ce also felt that this was the case. The court wanted to test his attitude, and Yang Biao was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Before the official declaration, send Yang Biao to discuss related matters with him, reach a compromise, and avoid obvious conflicts. This is the safest way. Doing so itself shows that the court has realized the crisis and is very pragmatic, and does not think that justice is in hand and domineering.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing. Good things are everyone who can sit down and talk about them, but bad things are no longer going back.

Fortunately, he didn't plan to look back.

Thinking of Chen Wang Chong's children preparing to go to Chang'an, Sun Ce couldn't help but smile bitterly. The court has been making frequent moves recently. Although his attitude is relatively pragmatic, it was also rumored that the court did not want to tear his face, but it could not be ruled out that they would take risks. Those who know others are wise, and those who are close friends are clear. After all, there are limited people who truly know themselves. The court has great righteousness in hand, as well as the wealth of the quiet and cool Shima and Yizhou. If you have a hot mind, it is not impossible.

Everything is prepared for any danger and cannot be taken care of. Especially for the army, you cannot be confused at this time.

"You see, deal with it. If you have any needs, tell me in time."

Yuan Quan hesitated a little. "There is one thing... but I don't know if it's right."

"It seems that it is not a trivial matter to make you so embarrassed." Sun Ce laughed out loud. "You think it yourself first, say it if you think it is suitable. Don't say it for the time being if it is not suitable. Wait until the right time." Sun Ce looked into the distance. "Gao Rou will arrive soon."

Yuan Quan thought about it for a while and stood up. "No matter how anxious I am, I'll think about it again."

Sun Ce glanced at her sideways, smiling without saying a word. Yuan Quan rolled his eyes and turned around. Seeing her falling down the mountain step by step, Sun Ce sighed secretly. Everyone has everyone's obsession, and even smarter Yuan Quan could not avoid it. Perhaps it was because he felt that Sun Ce's gaze, Yuan Quan walked very steadily, except for the hem of the skirt, the rest of his body remained motionless. But even so, her mature style was still as bright as the summer sun.

Twenty-three years old is the most beautiful time for a woman.

Seeing Yuan Quan disappearing into the shade of the trees, Sun Ce turned around and called Zhuge Liang. "Kong Ming, how much do you know about the theory of the Buddha?"

"A little bit of it."

"Speak and listen."

"The theory of the Buddha is slightly closer to Huang Lao. The main theme is to talk about tranquility and inaction, and to stop killing. The method of practice is similar to art. The difference is not big. However, they have stricter requirements. If they want to cultivate the great way, it is best to live alone and leave their wives and children. I heard that the gods of the Buddha gave up the glory and wealth of the world, became monks and practiced for more than ten years before they finally achieved the great way. The Buddha was officially introduced to the Central Plains when Emperor Xiaoming was when Emperor Xiaoming was said to have dreamed of gods and people. Some people said they were Western gods. Later, they sent people to India to seek Dharma, brought some scriptures back, and built Baima Temple to translate scriptures in Luoyang. These scriptures are very mysterious and cannot be understood by ordinary people. Only one "Forty-Two Chapters" is relatively simple, similar to the "Filial Piety". Most people who believe in Futu read that scripture."

"Have you read it?"

"Readed." Zhuge Liang paused and said, "I don't really agree with these teachings of the Buddha, especially after seeing Zuo Rong."

"Why?"

"First, these teachings of the Buddha are too inaction, even better than Lao Tzu, and are not in line with the doctrine of the mean of the saints. Second, the teachings of the Buddha are far-reaching, but the people are ignorant, and most of them cannot understand the wonders. The reason why they believe in the Buddha is that they are born in troubled times and life and death are impermanent, so they ask for comfort. People are poor and call the heavens, and the world is in chaos to respect ghosts. This is the common sense of human beings. They have the merit of comfort, but they are not helpful to the world. The Yellow Turban incident is the lesson of the past. Moreover, the great way of being a great man is not based on doctrine, but on setting up wine and food, restoring labor, and consuming money and food, not to mention spending a lot of money. Building temples in the Buddha are exhausted and damaged by the people. The disaster is fierce due to military and military affairs, and wars and disasters. Those who govern must guard against it."

Sun Ce's interest increased greatly. Zhuge Liang's view was very close to him. His biggest disgust with Buddhism was that it was exhausting the people and wasted money. A large number of people were invested in Buddhist temples, statues and other things. A large number of people became out-of-pocket people who did not pay taxes or serve. The country's financial resources were empty and the household registration was insufficient. Buddhism was a bottomless pit. Once it became popular, no matter how much manpower or material resources were, he could not fill that pit. As a philosophical research, he did not object. As a secular entity, he would never allow it.

"Then tell me, how can I ban it?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head. "General, it is better to be dispersed than to block. Even if there are many shortcomings, the theory of the Buddha can be used to appease it. It is unlikely to prohibit it altogether. It is better to take the meaning and prepare a statement. For example, scholars can study it, but there is no need to implement it."
