Although Han Du came and waited early, he did not show up and just stayed on the warship.
Yan Ne came to the boat, bowed to Han Du, and said: "I have seen the Marquis of Zhenhai. Please forgive me for keeping the Marquis waiting for so long."
Han Du smiled and nodded, and said: "Master, you're welcome. I arrived early. Please invite all the masters to board the ship."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." After Yan Ne finished speaking, he asked the monks to start boarding the ship.
After all the monks got on the boat, Yan Ne saw that Han Du was still standing there, with no intention of moving his feet. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and asked: "The Marquis still doesn't let the ship sail, is there anyone else coming?"
Han Du nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, wait a little longer."
"Okay." Yan Ne nodded with a smile.
Anyway, he was going to sea this time with the help of Han Du's warship. If Han Du wanted to bring some people along with him, he would certainly not object.
But within a moment, a group of Taoist priests came from a distance, attracting the attention of the people around them.
"What day is it today? The master from Tianjie Temple just passed by, and now the optimistic Taoist priests are here?"
"No matter what day it is, there is always something good to watch."
"What's the show?"
"How stupid, how can the master of Tianjie Temple and the optimistic Taoist priests come together and not have a good show?"
"That's right, let's go, let's go and have a look..."
"Go together, go together..."
When Yan Ne saw the purple robe coming towards him, his face suddenly turned bad.
The leading Taoist priest walked up to Han Du and bowed respectfully: "I have met the Marquis of Zhenhai, a poor Taoist named Zhang Yuqing."
"Tao Zhang, you're welcome." Han Du smiled and nodded.
Yan Ne's face had long since darkened, he stared at Zhang Yuqing with an unkind expression, and said, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Yuqing was obviously an old acquaintance with Yan Ne, and he said with a smile: "You, a bald donkey, can come, why can't a poor monk come?"
"Niubi, you!" No matter how strong his determination was, Yan Ne couldn't resist Zhang Yuqing's provocation.
Seeing that the two were about to fight here, Han Du quickly reached out to stop them.
"Okay, both of you are virtuous people who have cultivated for many years. Under the public gaze, you two should restrain your anger."
The two men immediately turned back to look at the people outside, and saw everyone looking at them. The anger on their faces was immediately put back, and they were replaced with smiles.
After Yan Ne bowed to the people, he turned around and walked onto the warship.
After Zhang Yuqing laughed a few times, he also followed up.
When Han Du walked into the cabin, he happened to see Yan Ne and Zhang Yuqing confronting each other without giving in.
Han Du smiled slightly in his heart, just to let you fight over each other. If everything is fine between you, then you will be worried about yourself. Today's scene was exactly Han Du's intention. Arranging two parties who are not dealing with each other on a ship is something that only Handu can do.
Don't look at the advertisements to see the efficacy. Judging from the current situation, the effect is still satisfactory to Han Du.
"You two have something to talk about. Now is not the time for you to argue. Of these two ships, one is going north to Korea and Japan, and the other is going south to Nanyang. Where are you going?"
"Nanyang!"
"Nanyang!"
The two shouted in unison.
Nanyang has tens of millions of people, rich products, and wealthy people. Such a place is an ideal place for Buddhism and Taoism to preach. Naturally, both of them want to go to Nanyang.
As for Goryeo and Japan, what are they? In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, Korea was originally a remote country. Japan is even worse. I heard that Japan has been at war for decades. What are they going to do in a place like this, to suffer?
However, both of them wanted to go to Nanyang, which was exactly what Han Du wanted. As long as the two parties have points of contention, as long as they are incompatible, no one will be able to gain power. When the time comes, they may even have to win over the imperial court to support them.
The imperial court will naturally be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and reap the benefits.
"You go north, I'll go south."
"You go north, I'll go south."
The two instantly pointed at each other's noses, both wanting to drive the other to the backwoods.
Zhang Yuqing glanced at Yan Ne and sneered: "I heard that there is still a branch of your Buddhist sect in Japan. Since your ancestors were the first to choose to go to Japan, why don't you follow in the footsteps of your ancestors?"
"Amitabha~" Yan Ne closed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "It is precisely because the sages have brought the Buddha's kingdom to the Japanese country, but Nanyang still does not have my Buddha's light to shine, so the poor monk has to go. On the contrary, You, there is no trace of the Taoist sect in Japan so far, so it is just right for you to preach."
"You!" Zhang Yuqing stared at Yan Ne.
But Yan Ne looked at him without giving in.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly and said: "Pindao still feels that the people of Nanyang need the arrival of our Taoist sect more. As for the Japanese country, maybe the Taoist sect will also return in the future."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Han Du quickly reached out and interrupted the two of them, saying: "You two, it's up to you to decide where you go. Anyway, this ship is going to Nanyang, and the other one is going north. You two Discuss it yourself. I have already given instructions to the captain, and they will send you safely to your destination. I still have something to do, so I won’t send you two off. Farewell!"
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, please go slowly!" Zhang Yuqing's attitude towards Han Du was very good, and he was even close to Han Du. Obviously Zhang Yuchu must have told him.
"Your Majesty, please!" Yan Ne also bowed slightly to Han Du.
Han Du nodded, then turned around and got off the boat, got on the carriage and went back.
After he left, Yan Ne and Zhang Yuqing became tit for tat at every turn.
The two argued for a while, but neither could convince the other.
Yan Ne fell silent first, and after thinking for a while, he called the monks and gave some instructions, and asked a dozen monks to disembark and board the ship heading north.
After seeing this, Zhang Yuqing pondered for a moment, and then called a dozen Taoist priests and asked them to board the ship to Goryeo and Japan.
When Yan Ne saw it, he immediately said dissatisfied: "What do you mean by your nose? The poor monk sent people north, and you also sent people north. Are you deliberately going against the poor monk?"
Zhang Yuqing burst out laughing and said, "Didn't Marquis Zhenhai say that? Anyway, it's up to us to choose whether to go north or south for the two ships. Now the poor monk suddenly feels that it's good to send some people to go north, so why not?"
"Besides, your Buddhist sect still has its roots in the Japanese country. I'm not even afraid of your collusion, so what are you afraid of, you bald donkey?"
Yan Ne stared at Zhang Yuqing and said that the Taoist sect had no foundation in the Japanese country. Yan Ne didn't believe this.
There are onmyojis in the Japanese country, and these onmyang schools in the Japanese country have the shadow of Taoism. Buddhism talks about cause and effect, while Taoism talks about yin and yang. It just so happens that the Japanese country has a group of people like the Onmyoji. To say that the Japanese figured it out by themselves is not because Yan Ne looks down on the Japanese. If no one deliberately leaked the secrets of Yin and Yang, those Japanese would never be able to touch the fur of Yin and Yang even if they lived ten more lives.
Such secrets may not be known to ordinary dignitaries, but they cannot be hidden from Buddhism.
Although according to Taoism, the secret book was stolen, why could these things be easily stolen by the Japanese? There are more than just Japanese people in this world. Why didn’t the Koreans steal the Taoist Secret Book? As for the Mongols, the Siamese, and the Cochins, why can't so many people steal the secret scriptures from the Taoist sect?
"Amitabha, since you insist on this, let's see the real seal in our hands." Yan Ne's face was solemn, his eyes were slightly closed, and he made up his mind.
Zhang Yuqing also suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "This is exactly what I mean!"
The two of them turned around at the same time and returned to their cabins.
The cabins on both sides of the cabin happened to be occupied by monks on one side and Taoist priests on the other. The two sides are facing each other tit for tat, with clear distinctions between the two sides.
Han Du returned to the city from Beishi Port and reported to Lao Zhu first.
When he saw Han Du for the first time, Lao Zhubian said slowly, "Have you sent everyone away?"
"Already sent away." Han Du asked and answered.
Lao Zhu looked up at Han Du and asked casually: "How are both of them doing?"
Han Du smiled and said: "I arranged for them to be on a boat. Ever since the two sides met, the quarrel between the two parties has not stopped. The quarrel made me dizzy, so I hurriedly left there and came back to The Emperor reports."
"Hahaha," Lao Zhu laughed, and his voice spread throughout the hall. After a while, Lao Zhu stopped his laughter and said, "They have been grudges for thousands of years. It is impossible for them to meet without tit-for-tat."
"Yes, I asked them whether they wanted to go north or south. It turned out that both of them wanted to go south, and they had another argument..." Han Du picked up some interesting things and told Lao Zhu, which made Lao Zhu amused. Laugh heartily.
...
After sending Yan Ne and Zhang Yuqing away, Han Du suddenly felt at ease again.
With nothing to do, Han Du read the "Xia Lin Qingyin Picture" given to him by Zhang Yuchu. Although Han Du is not familiar with painting, he seems to have gained something after reading it a few times.
When Han Du told Ping'an about this idea, An Qing immediately laughed at her, and she herself even bent down with laughter.
"Husband, if the painting of Da Zhenren is so simple that my husband can see through it at a glance, then it will be worthless."
"What's so great about a painting? Give me time and I can paint one." Han Du said unconvinced.
An Qing pointed to the "Xia Lin Qingyin" hanging on the wall and said: "Husband, let alone a painting, even if you find a painter to copy it, it is impossible to paint such a painting."
Just when Han Du wanted to continue arguing with An Qing, Hongyi barged in directly and said eagerly: "Princess, Lord Marquis, a message was just sent from the palace that the emperor is ill."
Is Lao Zhu sick? Han Du glanced at the maid in surprise. The last time I saw Lao Zhu was more than a month ago, but although Lao Zhu looked a little tired at that time, he didn't look sick at all.
"Father is sick? Is it serious?" An Qing asked nervously.
Han Du quickly comforted her and said, "It shouldn't be a serious illness, it will be fine."
