Hu Mingzhi came to Jiang Zheng and bowed respectfully: "Zhaojiazhuang wants to protect Champa?"
"Of course, when Champa is invaded by other countries, Zhaojiazhuang can send troops." Jiang Zheng thought for a while and finally answered.
Zhaojiazhuang not only has a small garrison, but also has more troops and horses, which will be more beneficial for future control. Jiang Zheng certainly agreed.
However, there is a premise for this. It will never allow Champa to unify Khmer, Annan and Chenla and become a regional power that threatens the formation of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Jiang Zheng's answer was very clever. When Champa was invaded, Zhaojiazhuang could send troops.
However, if you invade another country, Zhaojiazhuang will not help you.
When Hu Mingzhi and Wu Jiayuan heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Zhaojiazhuang's combat power can be said to be superior to that of the Song Dynasty, and even tied with the Hu people.
If you don't hug me like this, how long will it take?
Hu Mingzhi felt that this trip was the greatest gain in his life. Not only did he buy weapons that could equip 20,000 soldiers and horses, but he also gained an extremely strong thigh.
As for the 20,000 acres of land, he didn't think it mattered.
But he did not let Zhaojiazhuang threaten him, so he opened the map, found a port in Maling, and agreed to allocate 20,000 pieces of land.
This port is between Annan and Champa ports. If Annan invades, it must pass through here.
Jiang Zheng originally wanted to be in Champa, but now there is a port, which is not bad.
Hu Mingzhi was happy, and Duan Shi also gained a lot.
Dali sent a princess, so naturally Zhao Ping couldn't treat her badly.
Zhaojiazhuang gave away 10,000 pieces of firearms, swords, and leather armors, 100 pieces of Flower Fairy Powder and Zui Chunfeng, 100 complete sets of sweaters, and 100 pieces of clam fairy oil that had just been made.
Dali is a small country, but for a Crystal Bodhisattva, it actually took out a delivery card worth more than 100,000 yuan, which shocked the temples behind it.
In any case, one Crystal Bodhisattva has been found, and now there are three more Crystal Bodhisattvas. Let’s see which temples have a chance?
All the monks looked at Zhao Feiyang, what should he do?
Zhao Feiyang coughed and announced in a deep voice: "The next Crystal Bodhisattva is in the Song Dynasty."
Hearing Zhao Feiyang's words, the monks in hundreds of temples in the Song Dynasty were all very happy.
"Ziyang, they are almost enlightened monks. Logically speaking, they have jumped out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements. Why do they still have joy, anger, sorrow and joy?" Mei Shou looked at the Song Dynasty monks below and asked in confusion.
Although Wang Wenxiu was the former magistrate of Xi County, Mei Shou looked down upon him to some extent.
Although Wang Wenxiu has been elected for three times, he has not yet won the Jinshi.
In Mei Shou's view, Wang Wenxiu became the county magistrate because he gave his youngest daughter to the little saint as his concubine.
It is natural for Mei Shou to have this idea. He is not only a Jinshi, but also an official in the capital.
You must know that when officials in the capital are placed in the local area, they usually have to be promoted to one level. This is the advantage of the officials in the capital and the confidence of the officials in the capital.
"These masters are no longer in the world of mortals. Of course they are not the joys, angers, sorrows and joys of the human world." Wang Wenxiu thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts, "Their joys, angers and sorrows are the joys, angers, sorrows and joys of the Buddhist world."
"The Buddhist world also has joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Why haven't I heard of it?" Mei Shou couldn't help being surprised and looked at Wang Wenxiu with doubtful eyes.
Mei Shou looked down on Wang Wenxiu just now, but he did not expect Wang Wenxiu to have such research on Buddhism.
"There is no joy, anger, sorrow or joy in the Buddhist world?" Wang Wenxiu shook his head and asked in a faint voice, "Zixin (Mei Shou's courtesy name), may I ask where the smile comes from?"
Hearing this, Mei Shou couldn't help but be stunned and suddenly speechless.
He never expected that joy, anger, sorrow, and joy really existed in the Buddhist world.
"Be taught, be taught, be taught." Mei Shou said three consecutive words, then he bowed his hands and asked, "Ziyang, even if you have a smile, what about anger and sorrow?"
This is a very serious question and at the same time a very difficult question to answer.
"Let me think about it." Wang Wenxiu drank tea and fell into deep thought.
He was meditating, and Mei Shou was also meditating. Does holding a flower and smiling count as happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy in the Buddhist world?
If there are joys, angers, sorrows and joys in the Buddhist world, and there are also joys, angers, sorrows and joys in the world of mortals, how different are they from the human world?
Is there really any difference between the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in the Buddhist world and the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in the human world?
If there is a difference, what is this difference?
Wang Wenxiu put down his tea cup and looked around.
He found that Mei Shou was also thinking, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Looking."
"Are you wearing a face?" Mei Shou couldn't help being surprised when he heard that he was wearing a face. He didn't know why he was wearing a face.
Could it be that just now I looked down on Wang Wenxiu, and now I admire him again, this kind of arrogance is just a sign of being arrogant?
Naturally, Wang Wenxiu didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't look at him, but continued to ask: "Zixin, do you know how you get a smile while holding a flower?"
"How do you get it?" Mei Shou didn't expect that Wang Wenxiu would take the test himself. He thought for a while and then said, "Sakyamuni preached at Lingshan, but he didn't say anything. He just held flowers and smiled, and everyone could only Kasyapa smiled and became enlightened.”
"Kasyapa is enlightened," Wang Wenxiu nodded, agreeing with what he said, and then changed the topic, "But what about the other disciples?"
"Other disciples, of course other disciples have not realized it." Mei Shou felt that this was not difficult to answer.
Wang Wenxiu put down the tea cup and let the steam of tea come out of the tea cup, which was obviously mysterious and indescribable.
Seeing Wang Wenxiu's calm and calm look, and thinking of his understanding just now, Mei Shou was more and more impressed.
Could it be that Wang Wenxiu had such understanding because of the influence of the little saint? Mei Shou couldn't help but think wildly.
Wang Wenxiu smiled faintly and asked softly: "Why don't they have understanding?"
"Why didn't they realize it? Let me think about it." Mei Shou couldn't help scratching his head and fell into deep thought.
He took a sip of tea and unconsciously looked towards the monks present, hoping to get the answer from these enlightened monks.
The Crystal Bodhisattva seemed to have infinite magic power, and the monks kept making offers, desperately trying to get acquainted with the Crystal Bodhisattva.
"It is said that the Buddha is in the heart and does good deeds in the world," Mei Shou said while looking at the monks, "but why are these monks so attached to the Crystal Bodhisattva?"
"After all, those who can keep the Buddha in their hearts and do good deeds in the world are only a few people who have practice and enlightenment. But most people can only feel at ease when they see a real Buddha statue." Wang Wenxiu drank tea, He replied, "The Buddha in the heart is a virtual Buddha, and the Buddha image is a real Buddha."
"Virtual Buddha, real Buddha?" Mei Shou bowed his hands in admiration, "I am not talented but I am also educated. Thank you for raising me."
"This is not what I said, but what the little saint said." Wang Wenxiu shook his head, "That's why I made this crystal Bodhisattva."
Sure enough, he was influenced by the little saint. It seems that the little saint is really a genius, and he can influence people like Wang Wenxiu who know destiny, Mei Shou couldn't help but think.
"Buddha's heart, Buddha's heart?" Mei Shou thought for a while and wanted to compare a gentleman with a person with a Buddha's heart: "Zhe Mo is the same as a gentleman. Those who can be a gentleman are in the minority after all. Most people are just ordinary people. People also have seven emotions and six desires.”
"Of course," Wang Wenxiu agreed with Mei Shou's statement at this time, "gentlemen and villains are in the minority after all, and ordinary people are the majority. It is the minority of gentlemen that makes them precious."
"The Buddha sits in the heart, and Guanyin looks at himself!" Mei Shou couldn't help but think of a master's on-site saying, and couldn't help but read these words, "Cultivation of the body depends on practice, and cultivating the mind depends on cultivating virtue! Buddhas and demons depend on one thought, and one can become a Buddha. One thought can turn into a devil! Cultivate your mind and you will be peaceful. There will be no fights, no thoughts, no profit and no fame."
"Confucianism emphasizes cultivating one's character, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world." Wang Wenxiu nodded and expressed his thoughts. "Buddhism emphasizes understanding, but Buddhism also requires cultivation. There are similarities and differences between the two. Confucianism focuses on self-cultivation and understanding. as a supplement; Buddhism focuses on understanding, supplemented by self-cultivation."
"He is indeed a gentleman, able to speak such profound truths." Mei Shou was filled with admiration and bowed his hands in front of him, "Then I would like to ask the disciples of Buddha, why don't they have the understanding of Kasyapa?"
Are you able to come to this conclusion because of the influence of the Little Saint?
"What a gentleman, I'm just an ordinary layman, I'm just a few years older." Wang Wenxiu shook his head, fought back, and smiled bitterly, "As for the Buddha's disciples who don't have enlightenment, it's because they are obsessed with appearance."
"If you don't have understanding, you're just a fool?" Mei Shou couldn't help but fell into deep thought and forgot to put down the teacup in his hand.
It wasn't until he felt his hands getting heavier and heavier that he realized that he had forgotten to put the tea cup on the counter table. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then put the tea cup on the counter table.
Wang Wenxiu took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said calmly: "With understanding, you can smile while holding flowers. This is the happiness of Buddhism. Without understanding, you are still stuck in the image. This is the pain of Buddhism."
"When you hold a flower and smile, Buddhism is happy; when you look at it, Buddhism is painful." Mei Shou suddenly realized, and bowed his hands to Wang Wenxiu, "I am so grateful for my teaching. Thank you so much."
Did you understand this by yourself, or were you inspired by a little saint? Mei Shou couldn't help but think about this while talking.
"I have thought about it for decades before I came to this conclusion." Wang Wenxiu stroked his beard, which had a few white whiskers, and smiled bitterly while returning the courtesy. "I am only a few years older. If you were at my age, The same conclusion can be drawn.”
"That's wrong. Ziyang is a person with a will and a destiny, so he can have such understanding." It turned out that it was you who had the understanding, Mei Shou felt embarrassed.
At this time, he finally put aside his prejudices and bowed his hands in admiration, "Ziyang is not only a gentleman, but also has understanding. It seems that he is destined to be the Buddha."
"I am just a layman, only suitable for the world of mortals. Is it fate, it is these masters." Wang Wenxiu put down the tea cup in his hand, glanced at the monk, and smiled faintly.
"Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading." Mei Shou shook his head, and his tone became more and more admiring, "Although Ziyang does not have a cassock, it is better than a cassock; although he does not recite Buddhist scriptures, it is even better than Buddhist scriptures. If you can give Ziyang a conclusion. , Ziyang is a person with a Buddha mind and a Buddha mind."
After saying that, Mei Shou stood up from his seat, came to the opposite side of Wang Wenxiu, and bowed respectfully to him.
Wang Wenxiu hurriedly got out of the way, but still said: "I am really a common man. He stays in the world to eat, drink, get married and have children, and to be a patriarch and an official. He is not a disciple of the Buddhist family."
"After the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, the Buddha is sitting in my heart." Mei Shou bowed respectfully again, feeling even more admired in his heart, and said with a stern look on his face.
"I just have some insights into Buddhism," Wang Wenxiu shook his head, and while returning the courtesy, he felt that what the little sage said was reasonable, "A person who is a Buddha does not necessarily wear cassocks, and wearing cassocks does not necessarily mean he is a disciple of Buddhism!"
Isn’t this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey? You know, most of them are monks now.
Mei Shou never expected that a very enlightened gentleman would actually say this.
King Zhemo's level of literary cultivation was too high to look down on these real monks, Mei Shou couldn't help but think so.
Mei Shou secretly looked at the monks, hoping not to be overheard by such a group of monks.
Fortunately, they were sitting on the stage with Zhao Feiyang, Jiang Zheng and others, while these monks were all below the stage.
They were not more than five steps away from the monks, and it seemed that the monks did not hear.
Otherwise, if these words were heard by those monks, they would definitely ask Wang Wenxiu for an explanation.
Mei Shou put his fingers in front of his mouth and said carefully: "Ziyang, keep these words in your heart and never say them out."
"Keep it in your heart?" Wang Wenxiu shook his head and looked at the group of monks in red, his tone full of disdain, "I want to ask, are they disciples of Buddhism? While telling believers that all living beings are equal, they regard slaves as slaves. They are talking beasts, and they are skinned alive to make magical instruments. You must know that these slaves cannot struggle during the making process, otherwise they will threaten to kill their families. Are they disciples of Buddhism or the disciples of the devil?"
Mei Shou almost stood up from his seat, his eyes widened as he couldn't believe his ears.
After he was stunned, he couldn't help but ask: "Ziyang, is this really happening in the world?"
"Of course, it's that group of lamas." Wang Wenxiu smiled faintly, "And most of the people who were skinned and made into magical instruments were Han Chinese."
"It turns out that the status of the Han people in Tubo is so low. Is this the reason why Ziyang wants to go to Tubo?" Mei Shoujing was frightened, took a look at him, stood up again, and bowed respectfully to Wang Wenxiu.
"Of course, they are members of our clan, because we are all descendants of the Yanhuang people and the Han nationality." Wang Wenxiu did not give in this time, but bowed his hands to the sky and said solemnly and decisively.
"Exactly, we and they are both descendants of Yan and Huang, and both are Han." After hearing this, Mei Shou felt the same.
He bowed respectfully again, bowed his hands to the sky, and then bowed his hands to Wang Wenxiu again, "Now I can't wait to go to Tubo to save the Han people."
"Governing Xi County well is the greatest support for Tibet." Wang Wenxiu shook his head and bowed to Mei Shou, "Xi County is the base of Zhaojiazhuang, and it was Zhaojiazhuang who captured the first county. After I left, Xi County I leave it to you.”
The two of them completely opened their hearts at this time, talked to each other, and saluted each other.
After the two saluted, they looked at each other and smiled, feeling extremely relaxed.
At this time, Liu Quan said to the two of them: "Two adults, the results of the Crystal Bodhisattva in the Song Dynasty will be out soon."
"Excuse me, Mr. Liu, which temple is this?" Wang Wenxiu and Mei Shou asked in unison.
