let go of my skin fairy

Chapter 161 New Explanation of Inaction
Jiang Chenshui thought hard, not knowing how to answer.

And just then, a voice sounded.

"time up!"

This is to remind Jiang Chenshui to answer as soon as possible.

If you can't answer it all the time, just admit defeat.

Baoqing looked at Jiang Chenshui and said again: "Daoist Jiang, do you have an answer?"

"No." Jiang Chenshui shook his head: "However, I can't answer, it only means that my research on Taoism is not deep enough, this does not mean that Taoism cannot govern the country!"

This basically has the same meaning as Kong Shan who left earlier.

"I can't answer. It's not that the Taoists can't do it, but I can't. The Taoists haven't lost. You can continue to argue!"

……

When Jiang Chaoge heard that Jiang Chenshui had conceded, he could only sigh in his heart. Although this Jiang Chenshui was a genius, his understanding of "Tao" in his heart was too "right".

The question given by Baoqing is actually aimed at this point.

When you insist on "Taoism" in your heart, you will not be able to answer this question.

Because, from the point of view of Taoism, governance by doing nothing means to 'let nature take its course'. Simply put, the ruler formulates 'reasonable rules', and people develop themselves within the reasonable rules, so that they do not interfere with each other. If people do not feel the oppression and exploitation of the rulers in their lives, they will naturally feel happy.

To put it bluntly, it is to make people feel relaxed and free, and then, to fall in love with this country from the bottom of their hearts, so that the country will naturally become stronger.

But in fact, this concept tends to be somewhat 'idealized'.

The concept of class and nobility has been passed down in this world for thousands of years. Where is there a noble who does not oppress the people?Where is the ruling class that does not exploit the people?

In fact, this is also the reason why some kings in the previous life valued Confucianism and law, but none of them used Taoist ideas to govern the country.

After all, the Taoist philosophy of governing the country, fundamentally speaking, is to let the king give up 'authority'.

In this way, which king dares to reuse Taoism?
Unless, this king is pure-hearted and ascetic as he is dedicated to cultivating immortals!
……

Jiang Chenshui retreated.

In this way, if the Taoist sect wants to argue again, they can only send a second person to play.

Huo Lingzi looked at Mu Lingzi, Mu Lingzi turned to look at Lei Lingzi, and Lei Lingzi looked at Wu Ling...

Wu Lingzi looked at Jiang Chaoge, then turned to look at Feng Lingzi.

Feng Lingzi opened his mouth, and finally looked at Jin Lingzi.

Jin Lingzi opened his eyes and shook his head lightly.

The meaning is obvious... I can't answer this question, if you want to answer it, go up and answer it.

Feng Lingzi was a little speechless: "Brother, is there no solution?"

Jin Lingzi sighed: "Unless inaction is replaced by action, but 'action' is the philosophy followed by Confucianism, which is exactly the opposite of my Taoism."

Feng Lingzi understood.

To answer the question with "promising" and safeguarding the interests of the ruler's class, this question is self-solving, and at the same time, it can also gain the affirmation of the Queen Mother Heping Ledi and the nobles of the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, in this way, Daomen is no longer Daomen.

"If we choose to 'go against the grain' because of the establishment of the state religion, it is really impossible!" Feng Lingzi gritted his teeth.

"If you can't answer, just lose a game." Huo Lingzi naturally saw the problem: "Buddhist sect also lost a game, so what does it matter if our Taoist school loses a game?"

"This match cannot be lost!" Feng Lingzi shook his head.

"Why?" Huo Lingzi was puzzled.

"If we can't answer this question, the establishment of Daoism as the state religion cannot be recognized." Feng Lingzi explained.

"What do you agree with or disagree with? Didn't that Jiang Yu'er say it well when he was in Hanzhong County? He said that as long as our Taoist sect is willing to return to Jixia, we will make our Taoist sect the state religion, and the emperor and queen mother also agreed. Could it be that this matter is about to become a scandal just because of a debate?" Huo Lingzi was not convinced.

"Yellow... it should be yellow...but it can't last."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the emperor may still establish our Daoist sect as the state religion according to the agreement, but he will not give full support. Moreover, it is very likely that Buddhism will be established as the state religion in the near future!"

"He... he dares?!"

"Shut up!" Feng Lingzi stared fiercely: "Junior Brother Huo Lingzi, don't say that again!"

"Understood." Huo Lingzi also knew that this remark was inappropriate.

He was just plain upset.

Wu Lingzi heard the conversation between Feng Lingzi and Huo Lingzi, and he also knew the seriousness of the matter: "This Buddhist sect has sinister intentions. It is obviously just a debate, but it uses such a method."

"Yes, this question is not difficult to answer if it is purely debating the law, but once it involves the establishment of Daoism as a state religion, this question is unsolvable."

Mu Lingzi also nodded: "If you argue with Taoist methods, you will definitely offend the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, but if you don't answer... Although there will be no problems for the time being, the future is hard to say."

"Forget it, there is no other way, let's admit defeat." Feng Lingzi gritted his teeth and made a choice: "For the future, we can only find ways to remedy it."

This is a stopgap measure of last resort!

It is impossible for the Taoist sect to embarrass the Queen Mother and His Majesty in public because of the defense of a question.

After finishing speaking, Feng Lingzi stood up: "Let me do the embarrassing thing, I, Feng Lingzi, went up to admit this question today, let's see what else the Buddhist sect can do next?"

Jiang Chaoge knew that the Taoist sect really had no choice.

It's not that he doesn't want to speak out to help, but that he is not a "person in the Taoist sect" after all.

If it was up to him to answer... what is this?

No way.

Although it was a bit blunt, he could only start planning in advance.

Therefore, when Feng Lingzi stood up, Jiang Chaoge reminded, "Feng Daoist, if you admit defeat on this question, you may be in danger of establishing a national religion for the Taoist sect, right?"

"Oh? Brother Jiang, do you have a solution?" Feng Lingzi immediately turned to Jiang Chaoge.

"Perhaps, we can use a trick of 'Li Daitao stiff'." Jiang Chaoge replied.

"Why?"

"Use other people's mouths to solve problems for the Taoist sect." After Jiang Chaoge finished speaking, he pointed to the crowd.

That's where the Jixia students sit and stand.

And the location Jiang Chaoge pointed to was the location where Jiang Yu'er was.

Feng Lingzi looked over, and his face changed obviously: "Brother Jiang, do you want Jiang Yu'er to answer? But, he is a Confucian disciple, not from my sect?"

"Hasn't Daoist Feng heard of something that has been circulating in the capital for the past few days?"

"Brother Jiang is talking about... Jiang Yu'er's [-] years of traveling in the fairy world in his dream?" Feng Lingzi seemed to have thought of something when he heard this.

"That's right, since he has traveled the fairy world for [-] years, he should naturally know the Taoism. If he can't answer it, it's not too late for the Taoism to admit defeat?"

"That's the truth, but in fact...Brother Jiang knows that our negotiation with him last time was not very pleasant. How can you be sure that he will help me?"

"It's his proposal to establish Taoism as the state religion!" Jiang Chaoge smiled.

"Yes... makes sense!" Feng Lingzi's eyes lit up.

As a general in the 'White World', he doesn't have too much status burden. As long as the Dao Sect can solve this difficulty, he is very willing to lower his figure and go to Jiang Yu'er for a while.

So he stood up.

out of the crowd.

……

Jixia's students and clan disciples immediately turned their attention to Feng Lingzi.

And Feng Lingzi looked like a fairy, with his hands behind his back, he first saluted Baoqing, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"Poverty Feng Lingzi, I would like to ask Master Baoqing what cultivation level he is in now?"

"Four realms." Baoqing answered truthfully.

"So it's only the fourth realm?" Feng Lingzi showed a disdainful expression on his face: "Pindao is about the same age as Master Baoqing, but now he is the Yin God of the sixth realm."

"Hehe, since it's a method of debate, it doesn't matter what the realm is. Daoist Feng has stepped forward now, does he have an answer to my question?" Bao Qing glanced at Feng Lingzi, neither humble nor tricky.

"It seems that Master Baoqing didn't understand what Pindao means?" Feng Lingzi smiled: "What Pindao means is that maybe this question doesn't need Pindao to solve it."

"Oh? There are still geniuses in Taoism?" Bao Qing probably understood.

Feng Lingzi stopped talking and said directly to Jiang Yu'er, "I heard that Jiang Yushi traveled to the fairyland in his dream for twenty years. Have you ever seen the ancestors of my Taoist sect in his dream?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ji Xia's students and the clan's children all looked at Jiang Yu'er.

Not only them, including Emperor Ping Le and the Queen Mother all looked over.

Jiang Yu'er could only stand up and said, "As Daoist Huifeng said, I did meet the Taoist ancestor 'Lao Tzu' in my dream, and I got some pointers, but now I am a student of Jixia, and I am a Confucian scholar. People, although I have the answer in my heart, I can't say it."

There is an answer... this sentence is the point!
The other Jixia students and clan disciples were all surprised when they heard it. Jiang Chenshui, the youngest genius in the Taoist sect, couldn't answer, but Jiang Yu'er actually had the answer in his heart?

Could it be that the rumor is really true? !

Feng Lingzi's eyes became even brighter. If Jiang Yu'er could really help the Daoist sect out of their difficulties, it wouldn't matter if he lost some face.

So, he said again: "Pindao remembers that when Jiang Yushi was in Hanzhong County, he once said that only when the hundred families return to Jixia can the Great Qin be strong and prosperous. If this is the case, why should there be a distinction between Confucianism and Taoism? Just treat it like this Wouldn't it be better if it was a battle of all schools of thought?"

"Well, that makes sense."

"That's right, Buddhism originally wanted to communicate with hundreds of schools, so Jiang Yu'er stepped forward to answer, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it?"

"Yes, yes, and it seems Jiang Yu'er's proposal to establish Daoism as the state religion. If so, he must have a reason to establish Daoism as the state religion, right?"

When the others heard it, they all nodded.

Of course, there is another more important reason why they are like this, that is, everyone wants to see with their own eyes what Jiang Yu'er has gained after [-] years of traveling in the fairy world.

At this moment, Bao Qing snorted coldly: "Have you traveled the fairy world for twenty years? Hehe, if Yushi Jiang really has an answer to this question, please tell me. My Buddhist sect doesn't think there is anything wrong with it."

When Jiang Yu'er heard this, he could only stand up helplessly.

However, he did not answer Bao Qing's question right away, but turned to the carriage where Emperor Ping Le was sitting: "Your Majesty, please tell me, can you answer this question?"

A voice came from Emperor Ping Le's carriage: "Zhen, did you agree?"

The queen mother was silent and did not speak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Yu'er saluted back.

However, he did not go out, but stood at the same place and replied: "Master Baoqing just said that the inaction of the Taoist sect is to make the people feel that the ruler does not exist. I don't quite agree with this point."

"Oh?" Bao Qing smiled: "I heard that Jiang Yushi is a member of Confucianism, and Confucianism emphasizes 'governance through action'. So, Jiang Yushi's words, can the poor monk think that Jiang Yushi thinks Is 'doing something' better than 'doing nothing'?"

"Master Baoqing doesn't need to deliberately 'distort ideas' here, or provoke Taoism and Confucianism to argue. What I want to talk to Master Baoqing now is nothing but inaction!"

"..." Baoqing's face turned cold: "Okay, let Jiang Yushi come to answer, how does inaction apply to the governance of state affairs?"

"As I said, I only answered inaction, not to talk about state affairs!" Jiang Yu'er continued: "Why is Buddhism so obsessed with Taoism's inaction and must be used to govern the country? I suggest that Daqin establish Taoism as the state religion, just because The Daoist sect is willing to serve the country and drive out demons and evil things."

When Jiang Yu'er said this, he no longer gave Baoqing a chance to speak, but continued: "The inaction of the Taoist sect only needs to be aimed at the Taoist sect. The general trend of the world, so this inaction refers to the inaction of the Taoist sect, not the inaction of the ruler!
It means that the Taoist sect only needs to assist the ruler to act, and it is possible to do nothing, but the monarch does not need to do nothing, because the Great Qin has always ruled the country by law. The reason why my Great Qin is strong and prosperous.

In this point, my Great Qin is indeed different from the countries in the Western Regions, because there is only one Buddhist family in the Western Regions, but my Great Qin is the head of a hundred schools of thought, and it is tolerant to all rivers, and it is great to be tolerant! "

As soon as the words came out.

The students of Jixia and the disciples of the Zongmen all froze in place.

Then, there was cheers like a tsunami.

"That's right, I, Daqin, was originally the head of the collection of hundreds of schools, and this is also the reason why the hundred schools returned to Jixia. Jiang Yu'er's debate is really good!"

"It not only answered Baoqing's question, but also clarified the real purpose of this lecture!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Everyone cheered.

And Feng Lingzi took a deep breath.

This river fish...

What a genius!

Taoist inaction, the ruler will not feel threatened... This is easier for the ruler to feel safe!
With this answer, there is no need to worry about Taoism being established as the state religion!

Because any ruler will hope that his subordinates will "do nothing", so that they will not have ambitions and will not compete for power.
