Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 492
Buddha's remorse became more and more intense, but the foundation of the Buddhist treatise was solid and the articles were clear-cut. There was no opportunity for him to belittle him. He was able to turn to the next best thing and list other people as his hatred to vent his dissatisfaction.

This angry look was immediately caught by Leqi. Halfway through the Buddhist treatise, when the listeners were all intoxicated, they knew that they had made a big mistake, and it was irreversible. Big mistake!He was already feeling uneasy, and now when he noticed that Fo Zhizuo's expression was not kind, he subconsciously took a few steps back.

However, due to a guilty conscience, Leqi was originally standing in the corner of the stage. As soon as he stepped back, he immediately reached the edge. He almost missed the point, which shocked him. After exclaiming, he finally managed to maintain his balance. , but his shout just now has attracted the attention and eyes of others.

When everyone saw that it was him, and then saw his red face, they understood something in their hearts.

The people on the stage were okay, they would save him some face, and they were all eager to read Buddhist treatises, so they didn't pay much attention to him. They just glanced at him indifferently, then withdrew their gaze and stopped paying attention.

On the other hand, the people in the audience, who were originally discussing the content of Buddhist treatises, were suddenly attracted by his joy and couldn't help but start talking with a smile.

It stands to reason that this Leqi is also a big-name person, with good status and good grades. He usually cheers and cheers before going out, which is quite powerful. Few people dare to discuss it in private. However, the law does not blame everyone, and now Leqi makes his own mistakes. If you are embarrassed, you can predict that your reputation will plummet in the future. It is a good time to beat the dog in the water. How can people not discuss it?It’s really something that I like to hear!

"This Le Master really made a mistake today."

"Yes, this person is too selfish. He wants to embarrass Chen Jianzheng, but he doesn't care about his own worth. Is that what he can offend Mr. Chen? One is talented and the other is narrow-minded. I see, this Le family family It’s over.”

"Yes, one is Leqi and the other is Mingfa. The two of them always opposed Mr. Chen because of trivial matters, but Mr. Chen has never slandered them. As a result, these two people found the opportunity to belittle Mr. Chen. This person compares others to others. Judgment!"

……

These comments reached Leqi's ears, making his already ashamed heart even more angry.

Who are the people in the audience?To put it mildly, they are scholars, but in Leqi's view, they are just people who have no talent and do not know how to work hard. They just come to join in the fun. They may not have much ink in their stomachs. Even such people dare to criticize themselves. Okay, is this okay?

But he knew that there was no point in getting angry with this group of people. The key was still Chen Zhi, but once the Buddhist treatise came out, he could only keep it in his heart. , otherwise don’t mention your name behind your back, you will be walking around without food.

But thinking about his posthumous name, Leqi couldn't help but lament.

His counterattack even seemed almost crazy. Perhaps it would be difficult for people in later generations to understand, because people at that time valued money more than reputation. But even in later generations, if a person's reputation is reviled by thousands of people, such as Even if those of the Ma family and the Song family have no shame, they would not dare to do it in broad daylight.

And in this new Han Dynasty, if a person's reputation is gone, his fame and fortune in this life will gradually dissipate. If his reputation is ugly in the future, his family and ancestors will be affected. In extreme cases, a bronze statue may be erected to kneel down. millennium.

Leqi wanted to be ashamed. Thinking of such consequences, how could he care about anything else?Therefore, before I was so angry that I couldn't stop talking, but now I can't do anything about it. I can only choose the lesser and cover myself as much as possible.

But even this idea is unrealistic.

Because the King of Jiangdu was always paying attention to Fo Zhizuo's expression and eyes, he also saw Leqi, and his exclamation just now reminded the prince of his previous actions.

Now, after noticing the reaction of the five monks, King Jiangdu also figured it out. He was afraid that Chen Zhi's volume of Buddhist treatises would have such a great influence on Buddhism that the five monks would no longer even think about continuing to comment on Buddhism.

This is not good news for King Jiangdu. His support of Buddhist commentary originally had a political purpose, which also involved his own reputation. As a result of such a commotion, not to mention political purposes, his reputation will be affected.

Fortunately, with the support of Chen Zhi's Buddhist theory, I can still save a little face.

But thinking about it this way, King Jiangdu also became annoyed.

"Today's matter was originally to let the five masters sit in charge, let the little master Master Zhu Faqian rise to prominence, and then spread the reputation of the king, and reassure the King of Guanghan, but in the end he had to rely on Buddhist scriptures to maintain his face. I know the inside story People, why don't you laugh at me? King Guanghan can't fool me even more. He might think that I am in trouble! Not to mention, who wrote this Buddhist treatise? It's Chen Zhi! Today's Buddhist commentary is in chaos, On the surface, it seems to be because of Jiang Yi and Zhao Yuan, but in fact, it is still Chen Zhi. Without Chen Zhi, the prestige of the five monks can suppress them! But Chen Zhi did not deliberately sabotage. And provocation again and again!”

At this time, he forgot that Leqi's arrogance was largely caused by his acquiescence, but when venting his anger, he didn't care so much.

Therefore, when the King of Jiangdu saw that none of the five monks were interested in continuing the Buddhist commentary, and knew that it would end in disgrace, the more he watched it, the more unpleasant it became, and he couldn't help but have people summon him.Leqi walked over with a puzzled look on his face. Before he could understand, he was met by the cold voice of King Jiangdu: "Master Leqi, you have dealt with a lot of things today, but it has also made your mind too excited. It's so big." At your age, I think you’d better not participate in anything like this from now on, and just rest at home!”

As soon as these words came out, several people on the side stopped talking and looked over in astonishment.

How could they not hear it? These words were clearly meant to incriminate someone, so why bother? Is Leqi considered too old?What about Wang Yan?That elder Wang had half his foot in the coffin. He didn't even need to recuperate at home, so why did he care about Leqi so much?

Leqi trembled all over. This meant that he should not show up in the future. He was a famous scholar with no specific official position and relied on his reputation. If he was not allowed to participate in such a big battle from now on, his reputation would soon fall. , won’t it be lost to everyone in the future?

But King Jiangdu is in power in Luoyang. In one sentence, it is final, unless you leave Luoyang and find another place. But with Leqi's age and wealth, if he leaves the capital of the empire, his reputation will fade away sooner or later.

Immediately, Leqi knew that he had been angered, but he was immediately filled with grievances, thinking how could he have reached this point if the prince hadn't stopped him just now?
"Thank you... thank you for your relationship with the prince. I will keep it in mind."

Just contradicting her face to face was definitely not a good idea, so he could only nod with a wry smile. Not only could he not refute, but he also had to express his gratitude. He did not dare to say anything more. What he was thinking about was how to spend the years in the future.

Seeing Leqi's expression, King Jiangdu finally calmed down. He was about to say a few words to the five monks when he suddenly heard Wang Yan say: "Su Liao, why is it such a coincidence that you mentioned it here?" When it comes to Buddhist treatises, you just take them out, you can’t just write them just now.”

Su Liao was watching the show next to him, and felt happy when he saw that Le Qi was unlucky. Just now, this person had verbally attacked Chen Zhi, which made him very angry. Now things have turned around, and the person is unlucky, and his reputation will be ruined in the future, so he has let go of his bad temper.

But when I heard Wang Yan's words, I felt a thump in my heart, thinking that Wang Yan had misunderstood Chen Zhi's deliberate calculation and wanted to settle the accounts with the Queen of Autumn. That would be bad. Even if the King of Jiangdu bowed his head and the five monks disappeared, but with Wang Yan's status , if we really want to pursue it, there will be some twists and turns.

But just as Su Liao was thinking about how to answer, the people around him were also guessing what the old man meant.

Wang Yan's next words finally exposed the old man's purpose——

"I just saw you taking out this Buddhist treatise scroll from the cloth bag in your arms. There seems to be something else in the bag. Bring it over and show it to me. You are quite tired from holding it all the time."

I'm sorry that after reading this Buddhist treatise, you are still not satisfied, and you still want to think about a few other books——

Not only Wang Yan saw Su Liao's actions just now, but others also saw it clearly. They all guessed what was inside, but they couldn't say anything. In the end, the old gentleman was still thick-skinned.

Listen, it's tiring no matter what, the cloth bag is only big, and there are two books in it, how heavy can it be?If you want to take a look, just say so.

Not only that, after the old man finished speaking, he also asked for the Dharma treatise, then looked at Su Liao with a smile, waiting for him to hand over the cloth bag to the old man for inspection.

When others looked at it, they immediately felt dissatisfied, seeing that the old gentleman planned to take it all for himself!
So he no longer cared about respecting his elders. Wang Lan from the Wang family in Taiyuan was the first to attack and stood between Wang Yan and Su Liao. Su Liao said: "Su Jun, what you are carrying in your arms is Mr. Chen's general outline." Can you lend me the other two volumes? The Dharma and Buddhist treatises really opened my eyes. I admire Mr. Chen’s knowledge, so I want to learn more."

Wang Lan's age and status were much higher than Chen Zhi's. In the past, although he respected Chen Zhi, he still acted like an elder to a junior. But these words were spoken to Chen Zhi's staff, and his tone was But very polite.

Wang Yan frowned, knowing that someone was about to intervene in the fight, and his temper rose.

But before the old gentleman could speak, the others also came to their senses. After looking at each other, they all took action. Gu You, Zuo Lian and others were not suitable to argue in terms of personality, but they learned from the two theories of Buddhism and Dharma. Seeing the value of the general outline and knowing that the news has spread, the masters in the city will definitely take action. If someone like Guo Xiang comes forward, it will not be their turn.

It's better to make a time difference, and those who are near the water and the towers get the moon first!

But this swarm of people made Su Liao stunned.
