Looking at the foot of the mountain from a high place, the verandah connects the pavilions, waterside pavilions and attics. It is crowded with people everywhere, with laughter and laughter floating around.
At the foot of Jilong Mountain and on Xuanwu Lake, hundreds of people were divided into several places, walking together, tuning strings and playing the piano, writing and painting, some gathered in a group to argue with each other, and some were blowing in the wind by the lake as if watching fish. In all kinds of ways, most of them are directed at King Langya.
Xuanwu Lake is where the Chinese army trains naval forces. Sima Dewen borrowed a four-story boat and carried more than a hundred people on the lake to enjoy the scenery. Those who can be summoned aboard the ship by King Langya are naturally famous people in the capital and ministers in the court.
The Empress Dowager Li Lingrong was unwell, and Sima Dewen believed in Buddhism. He invited eminent monks from the temples in Beijing to accompany him on this trip to discuss Buddhist scriptures and pray for the Empress Dowager's blessing and wisdom.
Those literati who were not qualified to board the boat walked quickly around the river, hoping to be seen by King Langya, who sent a small boat to take them to the upper boat. You must know that more than ten people had been picked up by Sima Dewen's walking gang. Walk.
This kind of excitement is not suitable for Yang Anxuan. Yang Anxuan looked around to see where there was any deserted place.
A boat came to the shore and was immediately surrounded by a group of people, all asking who the prince wanted to summon.
"Hongnong Yang Anxuan, is Young Master Yang here? Your Majesty has invited me."
The call came, and Yang Anxuan stepped forward calmly. The purpose of this trip is to meet King Langya, and Yang Anxuan will not pretend to be arrogant.
With everyone's attention and whispers, Yang Anxuan got on the boat and took him away.
Behind him, the Xie family also went down the mountain. Xie Hun saw Yang Anxuan leaving in a boat and said, "Let's go to the boat to have a look too."
Xie Hun is not only a son of the Xie family, but also the husband-in-law of Princess Jinling and the brother-in-law of Sima Dewen. Naturally, it will not be a problem for him to get on the boat.
Seeing Xie Hun appear, everyone on the shore came forward to greet him. Xie Hun was not good at sociability. He just bowed indifferently and boarded his boat with his brothers and nephews. The sound of the oars was loud, and the boat swayed slightly, heading towards the high-rise boat several miles away.
Xie Lingyun stood at the bow of the boat, unintentionally browsing the scenery of the lake and mountains, staring closely at Yang Anxuan, who was dozens of feet away.
The poem Yang Anxuan just wrote on the top of the mountain was like a warrior riding a horse and brandishing a machete, trampling all the beauty in his heart to pieces. However, he had to admit that the poem he had written was just as Yang Anxuan said, like drinking too much. A moan after a full meal.
How could Xie Lingyun be willing to admit defeat? He wanted to fight Yang Anxuan again to let Yang Anxuan, a vulgar martial artist, see what the poetry, wine and romance of the Haoying family were like.
The walking boat and the painted boat approached the building boat at about the same time. When the people on the boat saw Xie Hun, they hurriedly put the planks on the painted boat first and asked Xie Hun and others to board the boat first. .br>
Xie Lingyun jumped onto the boat, looked at Yang Anxuan who was standing on the boat with his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, and followed his uncle straight to the top of the boat, where King Langya was entertaining guests.
After Xie Hun and others boarded the boat, the planks were placed on the boat, and Yin Dun walked out of the boat to greet them.
As he walked inside, Yin Dun said: "The prince is discussing Buddhist scriptures with Master Juexian, Master Huijing and others. Master Huijing extracted the two verses you left at Wa Coffin Temple, so the prince sent someone to invite you. Already."
Yang Anxuan knew that Buddhism had been introduced to China for some years. Buddhist ideas about the afterlife, reincarnation, and enlightenment had a great impact on society. From kings to common people, there were many people who believed in Buddhism.
Most famous people had close contacts with monks, pursuing the joy of forests and mountains and rivers, cultivating a broad-minded, elegant and remote style, living in the world of mortals and transcending things, pursuing the true nature of life, and reaching a state of no stagnation and no hindrance.
Wang Dao, Wang Meng, Wang Tanzhi, Wang Gong, Wang Mi, Wang Xun, Wang Min, Xie Shang, Yu Liang, Xi Chao, Xu Xun and other powerful officials and celebrities were all familiar with Buddhism and often met with the eminent monks Zhi Min Du and Zhi Daolin. , Zhu Qian and others discussed classics and mysteries, leading the fashion of scholars.
Emperor Xiaowu believed in Buddhism and built a monastery in the palace. People like Zhi Miaoyin could enter and leave the palace without restriction, and could even influence the government. Under the influence of his father, Sima Dewen also believed in Buddhism, and the Buddhist masters in Beijing always donated money. He gave alms and often invited eminent monks to the palace to give sermons.
"An Xuan, you are a lay disciple of Master Huiyuan. You left two verses at Wa Coffin Temple and two couplets at Jianjing Temple. You are quite famous in Buddhism. I estimate that those eminent monks will debate scriptures with you. Yin Dun warned softly.
Yang
An Xuanyi frowned. He didn't have a deep understanding of Buddhism. He only relied on a few verses he had forgotten, as well as sentences from the "Diamond Sutra" and "Heart Sutra". He really wanted to discuss Buddhism with eminent monks. Why don't you show your flaws?
Climbing up the stairs, Yang Anxuan made up his mind. Even if there are a thousand words, silence is worse than silence. If he can't say a few words, it will shock the whole audience, and then he will smile and say nothing to show his profoundness.
The top cabin of the building is more than ten feet long and more than three feet wide. King Langya is sitting with his back on the bow, surrounded by monks and nuns. Further down, dozens of scribes in long robes and scarves are sitting on both sides. The descendants of the Xie family are sitting in the cabin of King Langya Sit forward on the left side.
Yang Anxuan followed Yin Dun forward, bowed deeply and said, "Yang Anxuan has met the prince, and wishes the prince a long blessing."
Sima Dewen's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Master Yang has been busy working for the country for more than two years. It's hard work. Please sit down."
Several cold snorts sounded from the right side. Yang Anxuan looked sideways, and it turned out to be Wang Xin, Wang Ru, Wang Chunzhi and other children of the Wang family. Okay, thanks to the king on the left and the king on the right, the two top families are gathered together.
Yin Dun was a little hesitant. Yang Anxuan was wearing a heavy filial piety, and he didn't know where to place him.
Master Huijing beckoned with his hands and said, "Yang Tanyue, please sit next to the old monk."
Yang Anxuan saluted Huijing, stepped forward and sat down beside the master.
When Xie Lingyun saw that Yang Anxuan was sitting in front of him, he rolled his eyes, thinking of looking for an opportunity to embarrass Yang Anxuan.
After Xie Huan left the table, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what scriptures you and the eminent monks were discussing?"
Sima Dewen smiled at Xie Huan and said: "Brother-in-law, Master Faxian is rightly saying that nature is empty. All conditioned dharmas arise from causes and conditions. Causes and conditions arise from actions. If they do not come from causes and conditions, they are impossible. In this way, all dharmas cannot have the nature. To obtain the reason is because of the emptiness of nature, but it is actually a high theory."
Xie Lingyun was fostered by his family in Taoism since he was a child. He has deep feelings for Taoism. Hearing this, he said: "This theory is like the Taoist theory of nothingness. The body of Tao is nothingness, including all things. Its nature is consistent with Tao, so it exists but appears to be nothing, and is real but appears to be empty. "
Sima Dewen saw that Xie Lingyun was similar in age to him and spoke thoughtfully, so he smiled and asked, "Who is this boy?"
Xie Lingyun stood up and saluted, saying, "This young man is the grandson of Duke Xianwu. He is also the Lingyun of the Xie family."
Sima Dewen had heard about Xie Lingyun's foster care of the Taoist family, and said, "Are you the Xie Lingyun who fostered the Qiantang Taoist family? You are indeed very smart, and the Xie family members are all like beautiful trees in the garden, which is enviable in life."
Wang Ru felt unhappy when she saw that the Xie family attracted the attention of the prince as soon as they arrived. She must have known that after her father Wang Xun died of illness (1), the influence of the Langya family in the court was greatly reduced. Xie Yan serves as the governor of Xuzhou and also serves as the internal historian of Kuaiji. He holds half of the Beifu army. The Xie family of Chen County is about to overwhelm his own family.
"Empty space gives rise to wonderful existence. If the self-nature is not empty, how can existence arise?" Wang Ru said loudly.
Wang Ru is also fifteen years old this year, the same age as Xie Lingyun. Xie Lingyun first came to the capital and not many people knew him, but Wang Ru was already famous in the capital for his Qingwu.
Xie Lingyun had a very high self-esteem and did not put Wang Ru in his eyes. He argued loudly: "Laozi said, 'Everything comes into being and then disappears.'" This shows that there is something first and then there is nothing. "
The debate about what came first or what came first will probably never come to a conclusion. Yang Anxuan thought of the Zhongyi Tomb outside Yanshi City. Although the lives of these people were lost, they always left "being" in this world.
Master Faxian said: "Both Tan Yue's words are reasonable. You must know that the five aggregates exist and the self-nature is empty."
A sentence popped into Yang Anxuan's mind and he blurted out: "Color is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color; color is emptiness, and emptiness is color."
"Amitabha, that's good, that's good." The eminent monks beside Yang Anxuan clasped their hands together.
Master Faxian praised: "Yang Tanyue understands Buddhism deeply and sees his true nature, which is really great wisdom."
Xie Lingyun tasted what Yang Anxuan said. It was a bit convoluted, but it seemed to make some sense.
It's just that he wanted to separate from Yang Anxuan, so he said without thinking deeply: "What Yang Taishou said is nothing more than what is said in the Tao Te Ching, "the two come from the same place, have different names and the same name." Taoism always means doing nothing but doing everything. I wonder what Governor Yang thinks? "
Yang Anxuan remained silent. Talking about classics and mysteries was not his specialty. Xie Lingyun saw that Yang Anxuan was silent and said more and more eloquently: "The Tao Te Ching has four ways to govern the world, governance by inaction, governance by superior benevolence, and governance by superior justice.
The rule of governance and the rule of rites..."
Most gatherings have no fixed topics. This kind of topic about the concept of governing the country is very popular. Someone immediately stands up to explain and argue, and the scene is very lively.
Sima Dewen, the king of Langya, interrupted from time to time to encourage the speaker, which attracted more and more generous speeches from scholars on both sides, hoping to take this opportunity to attract the attention of the king of Langya and rise to the top of the sky in one step.
Seeing everyone in the hall talking about governing the country, Yang Anxuan felt cold in his heart. Huanxuan occupied the three states of Jiang, Jing, and Yong, and had disloyal ambitions; the land of Sanwu was in turmoil, the foundation of the court was shaken, and Sun En might make a comeback at any time; Sima Yuan He is arrogant, domineering and extravagant, and the government is corrupt.
All these things are so urgent, and everyone here is still talking about inaction, which is really making people laugh.
Yang Anxuan was silent. Xie Lingyun didn't want to let Yang Anxuan go, so he raised his hands to Yang Anxuan and said, "Prefect Yang, as the prefect of Runan, you don't know how to govern the county?"
Not bothering to pay attention to Xie Lingyun, who was covered in tree thorns, Yang Anxuan said calmly: "Yang just followed the court's decree, preaching morality, encouraging students to teach farming, instructing the five religions, and building schools. That's all."
Xie Lingyun said impatiently: "What Governor Yang did was somewhere between the rule of Shangyen and the rule of Shangyi..."
Everyone was talking about it, praising or criticizing it, quoting scriptures, referring to ancient and modern times, and talking in such a colorful way that Yang Anxuan felt very irritated.
After everyone discussed for a while, King Langya asked with deep meaning: "Yang Anxuan, what do you think of the princes' views on the governance of Runan?"
Yang Anxuan said: "Your Majesty, it is better to sit down and discuss the truth than to stand up and practice it."
Everyone's expressions changed. Yang Anxuan's words meant that everyone's talk on paper was too flashy.
Before everyone could get up to reprimand, Yang Anxuan stood up and bowed to King Langya and said, "Yang is very filial, but it is not appropriate to be polite here, so he left first. Three days later, he helped his father and uncle return to Runan. Ding You keeps his filial piety."
After saying that, Yang Anxuan bowed to everyone and left.
When he came outside the cabin, the cold wind swept away the warmth in the cabin, and Yang Anxuan was refreshed.
My eyes passed over the lake and water, and the prosperity before my eyes soon turned into desolate grasslands. Poetry, wine, and romance can't compete with gold and iron.
Yang Anxuan smiled casually, how could such great rivers and mountains fall into the hands of these beetles.
The wind is blowing fast, and a good man is showing off his skills to turn the tide and change the world.
