Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 683 The Responsibility of the Founding Emperor
In Weiyang Palace, the conversation between Zhang Ting and Pei Yuan was still going on.

Of these two people, one was afraid that the label of Dharma king on his body would be misunderstood by the people of the world as that they wanted to push the Six Dharma School from Hexi to the whole country.

To be the master of the secular world, but also to be unique spiritually, let alone in China, where the secular flavor is very strong, even in Europe, no one can do both the emperor of the Roman Empire and the Pope of Rome thing.

Therefore, Zhang Tie did not come forward to reform the Buddha himself, so as not to be opposed by the people of the world.

The other felt that he had to be more cautious, because what he was doing was taking risks on behalf of the king.

This thing is not easy to operate, after all, Chao Cuo's example came first.

Chao Cuo's father said, "The Liu family is safe, and the Chao family is in danger!" 'But for thousands of years, it's the thing that courtiers fear most.

Pei Yuan glanced at Zhang Ting cautiously, he knew very well in his heart that if he really messed up this matter, the world would be out of control.

The emperor in front of him, who is the same brother as his father and son, will immediately push him out without hesitation to appease the anger of the people in the world, just like Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty pushed Chao Cuo out.

The reason why he knew so clearly was that if Pei Yuan had thought about it on his own terms, if he was in Zhang Ting's position, he would definitely be able to do this. able to come out.

Of course, today's Buddhism is not as powerful as the princes of the Liu family in the former Han Dynasty. Their attacks are more of a spiritual attack in words, and they may not go to the step of being stabbed at the Xuanwu Gate.

However, Confucian scholars like Pei Yuan are not very afraid of swords and axes. Before he took refuge in Zhang Ting, Pei Yuan was often put on his neck with a sword.

What is he afraid of?He was afraid that things would be messed up, so Danqing made a big note of him, and described him as an incompetent person who messed up things.

Incompetence is the word Pei Yuan fears the most in his life.

The two discussed some details again, and Pei Yuan pondered over his words before speaking slowly to Zhang Tie.

"From the perspective of the imperial court, the reform of Buddhism mentioned by the sage is considered from the perspective of economy and customs.

It is quite inappropriate for the Buddhist sect to collect gold from all over the world to cast Buddha statues. As for destroying the body and giving as a gift, it is even a bad habit, and it really needs to be changed and reformed.

But from another perspective, it has been thousands of years since Buddhism was introduced in the late Han Dynasty and the Xinmang period, and it has been entangled with Chinese culture to this day.

After several collisions and fusions, I have included everything. If I want to reform, it will not only involve the inside and outside of the court, but also affect the five mountains and mountains. "

Words such as angle and economy were all brought over by Zhang Ting. Now officials in the court of Zhang Zhou can also use these new words proficiently. Wuyue Mountains and Rivers are used by Pei Yuan to imply intellectuals inside and outside the court.

Zhang Ting thought about it, and what Pei Yuan said was indeed reasonable.

If we want to mention the cultural challenges encountered in Chinese history, the European science brought by the strong ships and guns of the Western powers is only the second time.

The first time was when Buddhism came to the West and Indian culture was passed to China through Buddhism, which brought about a severe impact.

This shock was far more severe and ferocious than the people of later generations thought, even surpassing the second time.

Because the second impact only changed the Chinese people relatively in their lives, but failed to really impact the core of Chinese culture.

It can't even knock down ancestor worship, the most external manifestation of Chinese culture.

However, the arrival of Buddhism to the West, carrying with it Shamanism, had a direct impact on Chinese culture.

For example, before Buddhism came to the west, there was no concept of hell and heaven in Chinese culture. Ancient Chinese culture believed that after death, the soul would go to Mount Tai.

But after the arrival of Buddhism, heaven and hell, blessings, evil results, afterlife, karma, etc., began to appear in Chinese people's thinking.

For ancient Chinese thought, which was relatively lacking in logical thinking, the speculative thinking of Buddhism is tantamount to a major earthquake in the ideological world. Literati in the past dynasties often like to associate with monks, which is to accept the collision of ideas.

As for other representational aspects of painting, music, architecture, etc., they can be seen everywhere.

Historically, Chinese culture discarded the bad elements of Buddhist culture and extracted the essence, which was completed at the end of Tang Dynasty and the beginning of Song Dynasty.

The Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties, which had a profound influence on later generations of China, actually came into being only after Chinese culture absorbed Buddhist thought thoroughly.

This is an era of cultural re-innovation or renaissance that began with Confucianism as the specific form of Chinese culture as the source of Chinese culture after being violently impacted by Buddhist culture.

This is an important dividing line in classical China. This cultural trend began to surge after the Anshi Rebellion, and it only stabilized after Mr. Song Chusan and the Five Sons of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhang Tie groaned in pain, he hugged his head, trying not to let himself think wildly.

He's just a dick who likes to play with swords, swords, bows and crossbows, just an ordinary person who likes to search for history and culture to pretend to be beeps and just eat!
Why bump into this era of great change?
If you don't know anything like Zhao Da and Zhao Er, you won't have so much burden on your heart.

But Zhang Yu has already seen this thread, and the pressure in his heart can be imagined.

Success will be a blessing for thousands of years, and failure will harm future generations.

Pei Yuan glanced at the emperor with relief and sympathy, and he was not surprised at the emperor's gaffe.

The gratification is that Zhang Tie understood at one point, knowing the responsibility on his body, such pain is exactly what a king with a heart in the world should have.

If it is not so painful, then at most it is just a monarch like Zhu Quanzhong and Li Cunxu, not a saint who comes out every 500 years.

The sympathy is because when Zhang Tie understands these things, he will no longer leave these things to Pei Yuan.It is natural to share with each other.

And when Zhang Chi had a headache, Pei Yuan suddenly felt a little more relaxed.

"Saints, ministers can help saints solve Buddhist problems in terms of court and customs.

But in terms of five mountains, mountains and rivers, six families and nine streams, it is necessary to choose another influential minister to assist. "

What Pei Yuan used was support, which meant that he should be the main one in reforming the Buddhist sect. The emperor treated him so favorably.

Zhang Ting thought for a moment, then shook his head slowly. The Central Plains has become more conservative since the Song and Ming Dynasties.

In other words, the reason why Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties became conservative was actually spawned when the general environment tended to be conservative.

And the atmosphere became more and more conservative, because the Northern Song Dynasty emphasized civility over martial arts, and he limped one of his legs.

A cripple, or a rich cripple surrounded by rotten people, can't be conservative.

In fact, only by being conservative can we hold the basic market. The Northern Song Dynasty is not the Han and Tang Dynasties. With its military strength, if it is not conservative, it will not be able to gain a firm foothold.

"Yuying thinks, who can help you accomplish this?" Zhang Ting asked in a low voice.

The "matter" he mentioned at this time is not only about reforming Buddhism, but also about how to deal with the revival of Confucianism. It also sets a broad direction for the future development of Confucianism.

Pei Yuan was also very sensitive, and immediately heard something else from Zhang Ting's words.

He looked at Zhang Ting in surprise, not understanding why Zhang Ting seemed to have a slight resistance to the Confucian scholars, as if he was afraid that the Confucian scholars would do something terrible.

Of course Pei Yuan couldn't have imagined how cruel the Confucian scholars' counterattack against martial arts would be after the country became "lame" decades later.

Warriors physically killed people with the handle of their knives, while scribes launched spiritual attacks, driving the warriors into the abyss at all levels.

So Pei Yuan was just surprised and didn't think much about it, when he heard Zhang Ting's question, he immediately replied: "Feng Dao, who is in charge of political affairs and minister of the Ministry of Officials, is responsible for the world's cultural reputation, and can be used as an assistant.

The rest, such as Sun Guangxian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, a scholar of the Chongwen Academy, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, Yuanheng Wang Renyu, Deng Xunmei, Meng Binyu, etc., all have literary names.

The minister also heard that Qian Yue, Qiu Guangting, Meng Shu and Ouyang Jiong were also very talented.

If the sage can authorize his ministers, he will call all the literati in the world to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and at the same time complete the compilation of national history for the Great Dynasty, Zhuliang, and Later Dynasties; select.

On the one hand, it can discuss the merits of Buddhism, Taoism, Great Qin Law, Great Food Law, and Mani, and discuss the gains and losses of the six schools of Confucianism, Law, Mohism, Taoism, Ming, and Yin and Yang.

From the decline of the great dynasty to the prosperity of this dynasty, no one in the world has yet fully reflected on why the great dynasty prospered and why it declined.

If the sage can make this move, it will be the most prosperous thing in the world, and those who have not yet attached themselves, such as Nantang and Qian Yue, will be able to pass it on! "

It is an exaggeration to spread the call, but it can definitely greatly reduce the will to resist of other unsubjugated forces in the world.

Zhang Tie's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered a novel he had read before traveling. He almost forgot the content, but he still remembered the name very clearly, which was very suitable for Pei Yuan's proposal at this time.

What is it called?This means that although Da Zhou has abundant martial arts virtues, he chooses cultural victory.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Tie confided his last anxiety to his most confidant courtier.

"People have two legs, they can climb and walk, and state-owned civil and military are like people's legs.

However, since Anshi, warriors have ruled the country, killing people for joy, and despising civil servants, there are still countless people, and this grievance has been going on for hundreds of years.

If my Great Zhou handed over all the power of the imperial court to the Confucian scholars, how can they know that they will not retaliate against Wufu for his brutality in the past 200 years? "

When Zhang Tie said this, he knew very well in his heart that it was not whether he would retaliate, but that he would definitely retaliate.

Although the authenticity of Han Qi's sentence "The one who rolls the name outside the Donghua Gate is a good man" is still doubtful, but since this sentence has been recorded, whether it is said by Han Qi or not, it represents a general social cognition.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, thieves have joined the army, good irons do not nail nails, good men do not serve as soldiers, and the third-rank generals have to salute from the seventh-rank magistrate when they meet, and other cruel revenges follow one after another.

Zhang Ting's words stunned Pei Yuan. He was as clever as him, but he hadn't actually thought about this question seriously.

After all, it is still an era when scribes need to rely on the prestige of the emperor to avoid being blackmailed or even hacked by warriors.

But the emperor has now started to think about whether the scribes will retaliate against the warriors. Should this be said to be a rainy day, or is it unfounded worry?

After thinking about it, Pei Yuan nodded, and decided to follow Zhang Ting's train of thought.

"Since the decline of the great dynasty and the separatist rule of the feudal towns, the swords and swords in the hands of the world's bitter warriors have been around for a long time. This is not a question of whether the scribes will retaliate. It is already the consensus of the people of the world to suppress the swordsman's right to dominate the court.

A sage cannot turn a blind eye to this, let alone raise the status of civil servants because of fear of the future.

Otherwise, it will not last long to do things only by speaking with the sword in hand. There must always be an explanation for the 200 years of chaos.

His majesty is sage, literary and martial, and he is kind to the world. He is the perfect candidate to set things right without letting things go to the other extreme.

If the sage cannot solve it, he must leave it to his sons and grandchildren.

In the past dynasties, the descendants of later generations can approach or even surpass the founding emperor, only Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, Emperor Sejong Xiaowu, and Emperor Zhongzong Xiaoxuan of the Han Dynasty.

This matter must not be left to future generations to handle! "

Ok!Zhang Ting nodded knowingly. Obviously, not to mention before, even in the next 1000 years, no dynasty could continuously produce three high-level emperors, Emperor Wen, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Xuan, so that they were caught in the middle. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, who had a middle-to-high endowment, seemed to be overshadowed.

Who knows what strange things will come out of his offspring.

What Pei Yuan said is right, this is also a problem that he should solve. Even if there is no solution at present, he can't give up because of choking, and he has to solve it step by step.

Fortunately, Feng Dao was already on his way to Chang'an due to the issue of the surrender system, so he didn't have to wait too long.

Zhang Ting quickly adopted Pei Yuan's suggestion, using Pei Yuan to solve the reform of government affairs, and using Feng Dao to try to solve cultural problems.

. . . .

Feng Dao is 66 years old this year, and his energy is not as good as before. Zhang Ting also likes to employ Zhang Xichong, He Ning, and Guo Tiance who are capable of government affairs.

Although Feng Dao has the title of a political adviser, he basically only does things related to the Ministry of Rites. His greatest achievement is to give Zhang Tie an archaeological record of Ji Zhou's system in the pile of old papers.

So Feng Dao actually already had the idea of ​​resigning from office and returning to the farm.

However, this time, as soon as he arrived at Jingzhao Chang'an Mansion, before he crossed Baqiao, he was sent by Zhang Tie to take him directly to Weiyang Palace. After drinking a cup of hot milk tea, Zhang Tie threw this huge issue to Feng Dao.

Feng Dao listened to Zhang Ting's instructions calmly, with a look of surprise on his face.

He was not surprised that he would be reused, but that the emperor who liked to be a land god still knew how to measure. He didn't want to replace the Central Plains Buddhism with the Hexi Six Dharma School.

Feng Dao immediately forked his hand and praised: "Your Majesty is really the Holy Master born in 500 years! But if you want to change the atmosphere of 200 years and rejuvenate the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is not enough if the Six Dharma Schools do not enter the Central Plains!"

Seeing Feng Dao's behavior, Zhang Ting immediately understood that he was not wronged at all for being almost stabbed in Xiangji Temple.

It turns out that even people like Feng Dao think that they want to replace the Buddhism of the Central Plains with the Hexi Six Dharma School, and control both the earthly world and the kingdom of heaven.

Zhang Tie couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, but luckily he had a clear mind and didn't personally take action to destroy the Buddha like Guo Rong did, otherwise it would really cause the world to be in chaos.

"Since you have invited Mr. Feng here today, please speak freely. What else do I need to do? Let me tell you one by one."

Feng Dao's face turned serious, and he put away the flattering and admiring face from before, "I ask the sage to move the Six Fazong out of Longyou, Hexi. Reduce the authority of the Zhongshu Province, or stop treating the Zhongshu Province as the inner court and separate from the outer court." relatively!"

Fuck!Zhang Ting jumped up at once, the Six Law Schools and the Inner Court Zhongshu Sheng are the inner and outer arms of Zhang Shengren!

I haven't been in the position yet, and I, Zhang Shengren, are going to cut off my arms?

Pei Yuan on the other side was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that Zhang Ting could tolerate even some rude actions by his subordinates, but he certainly couldn't bear his subordinates coveting his power.

Sure enough, the furious Zhang Tingji pointed at Feng Dao and shouted loudly: "Mao Zhuizi wants to seize my power? Your servant, how dare you say this?"

Mao awl refers to the writing brush, which is the word that warriors like to laugh at civil servants most at this time.

In history, Shi Hongzhao even publicly declared that long spears and swords are enough to stabilize the country, so what's the use of hair awls.

Zhang Ting was indeed blown away by Feng Dao's anger, which reminded him of the fact that the emperor in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was suppressed by the civil official group, so that he had to rely on eunuchs to guarantee his power.

Feng Dao looked at Zhang Tie without fear. This fearlessness came from his understanding of Zhang Tie.

If he was under the tent of Zhu Quanzhong, Li Cunxu and other kings, Feng Dao would not dare to say these words even if he was killed, because he would be hacked to death if he said it.

But not here, since Zhang Shengren wants to be a Confucian sage and master, he must follow the rules and gameplay of the sage and master.

Even if Feng Dao said these bold words, Zhang Tie would definitely not execute him, at most he would be dismissed from office and fined.

"Although Hexi Longyou is a frontier, it has been the arm of the country since the champion of the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu. The Six Dharma Schools did not leave Hexi Longyou. As time goes on, as time passes and customs change, Hexi Longyou will be separated from the middle land. Wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Today, the sage uses Zhongshu Province to take over the power of the imperial court. Of course, his majesty can rule the country and build a great dynasty far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties.

But in the future, the descendants will follow suit, emphasizing the internal and despising the external, and there are many schools of government. The external court is like a clay bodhisattva.

Even if there were no foreign ministers in charge of the Zhongshu Province, if one of the descendants of His Majesty was a bold and caring person like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the old incident of the death of the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty might not repeat itself. "

Zhang Ting stared at Feng Dao fiercely, his surface anger had not subsided, but he was actually a little more sober.

He was also thinking about Feng Dao's words that the Six Dharma Schools would cause a split between Hexi Longyou and the Central Plains culture.The power of the Ministry of Secretaries in the inner court continued to expand, and in the end it would take over the external court. After thinking about it carefully, it was not alarmist.

Seeing Zhang Ting thinking about it, Feng Dao prostrated himself on the ground and said to Zhang Ting.

"The minister lives sixty-six out of sixty. He is an official and a minister, and he is a prime minister. His life is already complete. He could have brought disaster on his own by not saying these words.

But your majesty is really a holy king, so the minister dared to appeal directly, please think about it. "

Zhang Tie thought for a moment, and helped Feng Dao up from the ground himself, "I was so angry just now, my words were inappropriate, please don't take it to heart.

The Liufazong and Zhongshusheng are actually the sword in my hand and the armor on my body, so I can't move it lightly for the time being. "

Feng Dao was helped up by Zhang Yan himself, with tears running down his face, "Your Majesty is the true Holy Lord! What I just said, I don't want His Majesty to get rid of the sword and armor now.

It is the Six Law Schools and Zhongshu Province, which cannot be mastered by a non-heavenly ruler. His Majesty can use it, but his descendants may not be able to use it. It is advisable to make preparations early. "

Zhang Ting nodded again and again, "As Feng Gong said, I will definitely think about it carefully."

Zhang Shengren knew that Feng Dao dared to say that, in addition to being reasonable in himself, he was still uneasy about Zhang Ting's status as the Supreme Heaven.

This anxiety is deeply rooted in the hearts of Chinese people who have been influenced by Confucianism, Legalism and other schools for thousands of years.

The relationship between the two is something that Zhang Tie must think about after the reunification.

After figuring it out, Zhang Ting was about to appease Feng Dao again, when the guards outside came to report, Shang Shuling, and Zhongshu's subordinates, Zhang Zhou's real prime minister, Zhang Xichong, died of illness in Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo four days ago.

Zhang Tie was stunned for a long while. The five generations of Xin Qiji, who grew up in Khitan and led 3 people back to the south after adulthood, was the most important official who was willing to go all out to work for Zhang Tie. It was really not the right time to die!

How should the personnel affairs of the imperial court be arranged?
　Who said yesterday that I was the king of pigeons?Also. It's quite appropriate!

　　Well, I drank too much yesterday, the last second I remembered was someone toasting me, and then I woke up in the middle of the night.

　　It will be updated normally during the Chinese New Year, as long as it is not too drunk to get out of bed.

　　Of course, the most important thing is to wish book lovers a happy new year, a happy family, and a lot of money in the Year of the Rabbit!
