Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 207

Seeing that Guo Kang was obviously unhappy, Zhu Wenkui was more anxious than Rangna's mother and daughter.

Guo Kang turned his head and was about to say goodbye to them, saying that he would escort Princess Ma and others to drive away first, and asked Jie Shika and other "royal officials" to play with Princess Rangna for a while, and called Zhu Wenkui to go with them.

Zhu Wenkui looked at Rang Na's mother and daughter, wanting them to apologize to Guo Kang.But Princess Jeanna didn't know whether she didn't react, or she was unwilling to accept it, and she never spoke.

"Mr. Guo, please stay!" Zhu Wenkui shouted hastily.

When Guo Kang heard this, he quickened his pace.

There is a famous joke in the Purple Horde Khanate.At the beginning, in order to publicize his achievements, Uncle Timur hired people to write many, many works about his own deeds.Some Persians brought these literary works to the Purple Horde Khanate, and after adaptation, many historical scripts that were quite popular in this era were produced.

In the storybook, Timur is a diligent and pious image, and he devotes himself to calling on all believers every day to go to jihad together.Church members often have their own reasons and do not want to participate, so he earnestly persuades everyone to participate together.

In the various story clips, there are often plots where church members don't listen to him, and just walk away.At this time, Uncle Timur would yell "Church friends, please stay behind", and then go to persuade others.

However, regardless of whether the jihad is won or lost, at the end of the story, it is basically the church members who have suffered a lot.

Because this kind of thing happened too many times, the imperial literati hired by Emperor Timur couldn't tell whether there was any connection here.After a long time, everyone took "Church members please stay" as a fixed meme, and used it as a joke every day.Some people think that this is an unlucky word, so it should be avoided as much as possible.

Seeing him running away, Zhu Wenkui looked around, hesitated for a moment, and resolutely left his aunt and cheap sister whose identities were uncertain, and went after his good brother Guo Kang.

At the side of the convoy, Guo Kang looked at Zhu Wenkui who was chasing him, and was a little surprised: "Aren't you going to follow them over there?"

"Aunt Rangna is a princess of a country, and she can protect herself well. My sister will not have any problems if I leave it there for a while." Zhu Wenkui explained, "I am afraid that you may have some misunderstanding with everyone, so I will tell you Come and ask."

"Oh, don't worry about it." Guo Kang shook his head: "This is probably a matter of religious identity. There is no way to force this kind of thing."

Just as she was talking, Princess Ma opened the car window and asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Aunt Jeanna's religious views are somewhat different from ours." Zhu Wenkui walked over quickly and told his mother: "I'm afraid we'll hurt our peace if we continue talking. Let's stop here. Let's go home first."

What he said was rather cryptic, as if neither side wanted to offend.But Concubine Ma was obviously not stupid, she understood what he meant in a few words.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Uh... just some political affairs, current situation and so on." Zhu Wenkui said.

"Oh, this is not good." Princess Ma glanced at Guo Kang, then turned her head quickly, and said to Zhu Wenkui: "This is all relatives and friends, how can we make a fuss over a trivial matter? Hurry up and persuade them to come back." .”

"Ah?" Zhu Wenkui hesitated: "They probably don't think it's a trivial matter."

"Then bring Youzhen back. Let Sister Na, please ask other people to follow her first. After she calms down and calms down, we will go to appease her." Princess Ma followed suit: "How can a quarrel bring a child into it? Woolen cloth?"

"The child was not brought in. She is still fighting..." Zhu Wenkui was a little dissatisfied.

However, Princess Ma urged him to go quickly, and if they disagreed, she told them that she asked for it.Zhu Wenkui couldn't hold back his mother, so he had to run errands again.

After a while, he really came back with little Jeanne.

"Come on, Youzhen, get in the car." Concubine Ma greeted enthusiastically: "I heard what your brother said. Hey, what's the matter you said. Everyone worships the Buddha, just to make peace and peace of mind. How to worship Buddha If you fight, isn't that putting the cart before the horse? The Buddha will be sad when he knows that you quarreled."

"No, mother, we are not talking about Buddha." Little Jeanna explained.

After fleeing from France, the princess took care of her personally for a long time.Up to now, she has even been with her biological mother longer than she has been with her, so she has been calling her directly by her mother.It is probably because of this that she is also willing to listen to Princess Ma and follow Zhu Wenkui.

"That's right, what they're talking about is the worship of God in Europe." Zhu Wenkui also helped.

"Hey, I've heard that too. The beliefs of the people over there are really too violent." Princess Ma shook her head and sighed, "If everyone pursues purity like Buddhism, then this place will probably be much more peaceful."

"Buddhism is not really good." Zhu Wenkui reminded: "Mother, don't forget, we have seen it in Nanyang. The Buddhist disciples over there are chasing Tianfang Sect people every day."

"Those are not serious monks. I think the sutras they recite are different." Princess Ma resolutely denied their status as regular Buddhists:

"I also know that there are always unworthy disciples in Buddhism, and all kinds of dirty things are not uncommon. But our world is impossible to be perfect. In comparison, our regular monasteries are at least decent."

"That was forced by the government." Zhu Wenkui was very clear about it, and obviously cared about his mother's trust in Buddhism: "If the government hadn't intervened several times and forcibly rectified it, Buddhism would only be more greedy than the church."

"According to what you said, it was a good thing to exterminate the Buddha back then." Princess Ma said with a wry smile.

"It depends on how you think about it. From the perspective of Buddhism as a whole, it is definitely good for Buddhism as a whole if the imperial court dismantles illegal temples and disperses monks. Monks are busy making money, so how can they promote Buddhism?" Zhu Wenkui obviously agreed. Thoughts: "This is like a tree. Cutting off the branches and leaves that grow randomly can make the whole tree grow better."

"What about Taoism?" Princess Ma questioned, "Why didn't Taoism be destroyed? Don't they need to correct and rectify?"

"Taoism is much more serious." Zhu Wenkui was unambiguous: "Talking against Taoism is generally not called destroying Taoism, but suppressing rebellion."

"When the government deals with Buddhism, it sends officials and yamen servants to ban temples, arrest demon monks, and investigate ill-gotten gains; when the government deals with Taoism, it sends officers and soldiers to fight against the Taoist rebels. This is beyond the scope of 'destruction of Taoism' category, so there is no such word.”

"You are getting more and more eloquent." Princess Ma couldn't refute and said with a smile.

Although her son directly contradicted herself and questioned her religion, she was still quite happy.

"Youzhen, get in the car." Without arguing, she turned her head and said, "Let's go home first."

When little Rangna got into the car, the convoy set off again.Guo Kang and Zhu Wenkui also mounted their horses and followed.Princess Ma started to chatter again.

"You go to worship God, and my mother has never objected. Which Bodhisattva or deity you worship depends on your own preferences, and there is no difference. But you have to worship a decent God, and don't mistakenly worship an evil god."

"Hey?" Little Jeanna didn't seem to understand why she said that: "I haven't worshiped other gods."

"You mother and daughter, for a week's matter, you have a quarrel with Mr. Guo, I know it all." Ma Wangfei told her: "This is not good. A decent god must educate believers and persuade people to do good. How can you Reasons to encourage everyone to dispute?"

"My mother doesn't read as many scriptures as you, but I also know that the Bodhisattva Yishu Bodhisattva came down to save all sentient beings and let everyone get rid of the suffering they were born with. He would even sacrifice his own life to influence the Romans. In the end Finally, the Roman Empire was persuaded, and only then did the present religion of God worship come into existence.”

"Heavenly brother Bodhisattva is trying to save suffering and disaster, what is it for? Could it be that you are fighting under his banner?" She sighed and said, "So, when you want to worship, let Master Wang take you to the Niangniang Temple Do proper worship. Don’t mix with those barbarians, they will spoil you after a long time. Do you understand?”

She educated little Rangna like an ordinary mother who taught her children not to associate with bad people.

"But, that's not a barbarian, that's my biological mother." Little Rangna explained helplessly.

This sounds strange, but there is no help—the Serese are almost as stubborn as the Romans in insisting on distinguishing barbarians.

Not to mention taking care of other people's feelings, they often don't even take care of their own.Little Rangna has heard many stories about her ancestors being barbarians...

"That's a classification, not to talk about her." Princess Ma didn't care too much: "Mother can't stand the religion those people believe in. She just doesn't believe in those things."

"What are they?" Little Rangna blinked, but still didn't quite understand.

"Your brother told me." Princess Ma told her: "As far as the religion that the Poles believe in, they say they worship God, but I don't know which demon tampered with the teaching. It even said in it that people Take your own child as a sacrifice. Even the bishop of Rome couldn’t stand it, so he forced him to change it into a sheep.”

"That seems to say that believers are asked to sacrifice the closest people to show their loyalty." Zhu Wenkui added for her.

"Oh, this is really not human!" Princess Ma shook her head again and again, cursing with the most serious words she could think of: "All these people gather together, what kind of orthodox sect can it be? I think what Wen Kui said is also true." It’s not unreasonable. Some sects are owed to the court to suppress them.”

Little Jeanna couldn't refute, so she just nodded.

"Although my mother bears the name of this princess, she is just an ordinary woman who doesn't understand small words and great righteousness, and classics and graves. I have no interest in the political and military affairs that you like."

"But mother knows, as a person, we should at least know good and evil." Princess Ma warned: "So, we must stay away from them. Don't look at them as pity, but sympathize with them. Don't think that everyone worships them." A Buddha speaks for them—these people are all bad!"

"Got it, got it." Little Jeanna continued to nod obediently.
