Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 671 How to See Virtue
The great virtue's discussion is naturally in the Tai Chi Hall.

Tai Zhen watched the discussion between the two Kun Dao, and even the most unruly minister kept his mouth shut.

There was a rare sincere smile in Changsun Wuji's eyes.

Sizi, she has grown up safely!

Changsun Wuji personally went to Taizhen Temple to offer incense, talked with Feng Zhen, who was vaguely thinking of being released from the world, checked her condition, and asked the master of Wuzhen Temple, and finally confirmed that his niece had survived the disaster safely.

Alas, it was just too deserted, so different from the Si Zi who sweetly called "uncle" when he was a child.

No matter what, Changsun Wuji felt happy that Amei's bloodline was safe in the world.

A great virtuous person must have a share of Sizi. Even the emperor cannot stop it. My eldest grandson Wuji said so!
Zen Master Xuanmo, the master of Wukun Temple, and the master of Chen Junnian Temple are all famous people with perfect virtues.

Of course, not all monks have six roots of purity, and there are also many who hide dirt and evil, but those who are promoted to be great virtues must be pure and flawless.

Just like a lotus, it emerges from the mud and remains unstained, but it relies entirely on the roots in the mud to provide nutrients.

So, when reading ancient books, think more.

A gentleman without faults is sometimes more terrifying than a person with faults.

After a long time, Shi Qiu Shenji, the imperial censor, asked aloud: "Why don't you see the name of the benchmark Zen master of Daxingshan Temple?"

It can be seen that getting the benchmark to appear on the roster actually involves a multi-party game.

Fan Zheng left the class: "This person was originally Du Shanxian, the commander of Chang'an. The name of Benchmark was given by the late emperor. He was ordered to become a monk because the officials did not distinguish between good and evil."

"When I was the governor of Yongzhou, I never heard of Benchmark's good deeds, nor did I see any achievements in Taoist or Buddhist debates. Why should I recommend him as a great virtue?"

How to see virtue?

Changsun Wuji grinned but said nothing.

After not speaking out for several years, some people thought that a certain person was fasting and reciting the Buddha's name. The benchmark that a certain person had set with his own hands back then dared to raise it to their eyes and poke it.

Wo Haofu came out of the class with a belly full of belly: "Since there is a dispute, why not call the benchmark Zen master to go to the hall, examine the Buddhist scriptures, and ask about merits?"

This melon is cowardly and very bad!
The head of the ancestral temple is in charge of the temples around the world. He dare not say that he knows everything about the thousands of monks in Chang'an City. At least he knows the situation of the famous figures.

As a monk, Benchmark Zen Master could recite no more than three sutras, and he could even recite "Bini Daily Essentials" in a daze. If he hadn't been ordered to become a monk, he would have recovered his ultimatum long ago.

Dade?

Hehe, it’s so wicked!

If you want to send someone to the position of Great Virtue, you actually want to slap Taizong and Changsun Wuji in the face;
As for Fan Zheng, he was the fish in trouble.

Sorry, even though Fan Zheng is now one of the Nine Qings, he still fails to become an opponent in the eyes of some people and does not have enough weight.

If the benchmark is allowed to go to the palace to recite scriptures, those who desperately support it will inevitably make a fool of themselves, and may even lose the trust of the court and the emperor.

It’s not that Benchang is uneducated, but he has never had the intention to become a Buddha!
Merit... is even more of a luxury for Benchmark. He spends his days in Daxingshan Temple like a year and barely does his homework, so there is no merit.

The two uncles Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were very bad. They asked him to become a monk without giving him a time limit.

This is to make him fast for the rest of his life.

Censor Zou Jiujiu came out to smooth things over: "Censor Qiu just asked casually, without any serious intention, so there is no need to bother."

Fan Zheng sneered, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, when he saw Li Qianyu, the imperial censor, shaking his head slightly and his Xie Zhi crown swaying lightly.

Fan Zheng straightened the three-beam crown on his head and lowered his eyelids.

Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. When people live in the world, there are always some favors to take care of. The old Tang official Li Qianyou once cared a lot about Fan Zheng, so he had to give him favors.

Fan Zheng is not the faceless and anxious person from Water Margin.The word "shameless" means, firstly, it means being inhumane, and secondly, it means being as embarrassed as being anxious.

Changsun Wuji raised his eyelids and glanced at Situ Li Yuanjing who was watching the excitement.

Not every question has an accurate answer, but fortunately, Fatty is never the one who needs answers.

For some things, just having a direction in your heart is enough.

Great virtue is an honor and a bondage.

Emperor Yonghui held the roster in hand and considered it for a long time before approving it personally with his imperial pen.

However, Fan Zheng inadvertently saw a trace of dissatisfaction flashing in Emperor Yonghui's eyes.

What is he dissatisfied with?
Although Fan Zheng is not someone who always speculates on his ideals, he still has a question mark in his mind.

The position of Minister of Rites was directly assumed by Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Yi.

Although Fang Yizhi's resume is slightly short, he is the heir of Liang Guogong. He has been an official in the Department of Rites before, so he can barely make up for it.
-
Xue Wanche, who returned after being pardoned, sluggishly drank Xia Tooling Langguan clear wine in the empty mansion.

There were very few people in the mansion. Except for a few tribes, only the son who was a county prince survived. The rest of his descendants were gradually scattered in various places as minor officials.

"Old Tang Book" clearly records that Xue Wanche followed Li Shiji to defeat Xue Yantuo in the 15th year of Zhenguan, and made one of his sons a county marquis based on his merits.

According to this text, it means that Xue Wanche had more than one son.

Xue Wanche married the eldest princess Danyang in the 18th year of Zhenguan. It was obviously the eldest princess who continued his marriage.

"Wan Che is so stupid, the princess is ashamed, and she has not been with her seatmate for months." It looks a bit like an innocent little wolfdog, but is it possible?
It is estimated that Xue Wanche was ashamed of himself at that time and had a vague sense of inferiority.

The eldest princess Danyang did not accompany Xue Wanche for a few years, but she died anyway.

If she had restrained him, Xue Wanche would never have gone to the point of no return.

Fang Yiai didn't know when she sat down next to Xue Wanche, with a bowl of fragrant beef and a jar of Xishi Qiang wine. She drank it deliciously, touching the jar with Xue Wanche from time to time.

Xue Wanche admired Fang Yiai, but only for his strength, not for his martial arts.

"Why is it that the high official is willing to condescend to see me, a useless commoner like me?"

Xue Wanche laughed wildly.

In fact, Xue Wanche cannot be said to be a commoner in any way, and his title of Duke of Wu'an County has not been diminished.

However, this time back to Chang'an, things have changed and people have changed, except for my brother Xue Wanbei who still exists.

Only the Old Tang Book of the two Tang Dynasties mentions that Xue Wanbei died before Xue Wanche, but the epitaph of Xue Wanbei who was buried in Gaoyangyuan, Chang'an mentions that he was implicated and flowed to Jiaozhou.

There is a conflict between historical data, and only the epitaph shall prevail.

As for "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" mentioning Liu Jiaozhou, forget it, this book cannot be read as a historical material.

If it cannot be found, the history books shall prevail (snickering, you are so clever).

However, Xue Wanche deliberately alienated his brother, fearing that he would be implicated.

However, if they are connected by blood, how can he really not be involved if he says he is not involved?
Fang Yiai smiled bitterly: "I think that I, Fang Erlang, a good man, would not go to battle to fight for eternal glory, but he would be in Taifu Temple, guarding those belongings for the imperial court, like a watchdog."

This is a typical example of great ambition and lack of talent. If Fang Yiai goes into battle, he will not even be as good as Zhao Kuo.

Xue Wanche, who always spoke harshly, ignored Fang Yiai and drank all the wine in one gulp. The jar was thrown outward and fell on the rockery, smashing it into pieces.

"Xue conquered the enemy bandits for the Tang Dynasty. Even though he did not capture Bozhuo City, he also killed his husband and grandson. He resigned from his post in Liuxiangzhou because of the villain's slander!"
