At this moment, the 343rd year of the Han calendar, the year of the Guimao Rabbit, must have passed.
The cold has gone and the warmth has come, and the smell of green grass must have spread all over the mountains and plains.
But my nostrils were filled with the smell of medicinal herbs. In a daze, I couldn't stand the shouts of my elder brother Liu Yi and my brothers in my ears. I woke up leisurely, and just when I wanted to speak, I felt a cramp in my abdomen. , fainted again.
When I was in a coma, old things came into my dreams, and I was back to those days again!
...
My name is Wang Sanbao. Apart from my eldest brother Liu Yi, I am the youngest in the officialdom of Huaxing County.
Therefore, although I come from a poor family, I have attracted much attention since I was a child, and my family has high expectations for me, hoping that I will get rid of my poverty and achieve unparalleled glory.
This matter really caused me a lot of trouble, and that was not my intention. Hey, let’s talk about it later.
In my case, the eldest brother is a veritable Wenquxing who has descended to earth, and no matter how bad he is, he is still the reincarnation of Su Qin and Zhang Yi.
Although I am well-read and memorized, eloquent and eloquent, my articles are comprehensive, and I am more intelligent than Zhang Liang..., but compared with my eldest brother, who is a literary star, I am still a little bit less interesting.
The reason why I was able to ascend to the throne with a weak crown and have a prosperous official career was all due to a little luck.
When I'm with my eldest brother, there's always a feeling of being both good and good.
But my parents always taught me to be content with what I have, so among brothers, there was no need to mention who was better than the other.
After all, a brother's name is as deep as the sea, isn't it?
...
As a Confucian scholar who is in charge of education in a county, I may appear to be a high-ranking official to outsiders, but in reality, I am a clear-cut official in Qingshui County!
Huaxing County’s education funds are controlled by the county magistrate’s office, and the appointment and dismissal of public school teachers is decided by the subordinates. Even when I went on inspection tours, Mr. Ying only gave me a lame gray donkey, and he said something high-sounding 'The horse is too high for a boy to ride but hard to get off. Riding a donkey is more down-to-earth.'
snort! Obviously, you don’t take me, Wang Sanbao, for granted!
However, this is good. I am leisurely every day, riding my beloved little donkey, walking through the streets, going to the mountains and countryside, listening to books, people, things, and passing on knowledge, scriptures, and Dharma. As long as I don’t take out Due to my official seal, no one would think that I was a county official. They would just think that I was someone's young master traveling around the world.
Xianyun Yehe, things in the world have nothing to do with me. Only at this time, I am the real me.
When it comes to the world, everyone has their own world, and everyone's world is very different. It's different from the "seclusion" that the elder brother talks about. I really want to live in seclusion in the market and ignore the worldly affairs.
I know that I am not a great talent, and I do not have the ability to help the world like Mr. Da and County Sheriff Ying.
He doesn’t have the same ambitions as his elder brother and Li Erniu.
Not to mention Ying Cheng's martial arts talent and rich family background.
The back-and-forth flattery in the officialdom is really not what I want.
I remember one time, my disciples complained that Cao Huangyan’s son, Huang Jing, was infected with the cold.
Ouch, this is really serious. After hearing the news, several disciples packed up their bedrolls and rushed directly to the Huang Mansion. None of them went out on business, and they stopped doing official business. They were at the Huang Mansion. Up and down, Huang Jing was served with medicine and urine. I heard that even several people rushed to pour Mr. Huang's chamber pot. One time they even got into a fight over this matter, which was simply insulting to gentlemen.
Humph, you can't be so afraid of your own son!
I remember another time, I heard that Huang Yuan's younger brother had a broken bone and needed external application of gold sore medicine. Huang Yuan was busy with official business, so he sent a small official to go and take care of it. This small official was not so good, he just pulled a piece of tiger skin. ’, he found the county’s doctor, Cao Tu, who was also a ‘sensible’ man. With a stroke of his pen, a whole carriage with twenty jars of gold sore medicine was delivered to Huang Yuan’s brother’s house at night.
That’s twenty jars of golden sore medicine! It was enough for Huang Yuan's brother to use until his eighteenth generation grandson was born. I heard that Huang Yuan's brother returned fifteen altars afterwards, and the rest was replaced by gold and silver and pocketed privately.
Brother Huang Yuan's behavior is considered clean in the officialdom!
I know that petty theft is not a serious crime, and Mr. Ying is not the kind of county magistrate to torment people over such trivial matters.
The school is as big as the official hall, and the human relationship is greater than the king's law. We all understand this truth.
but I do not like it!
There can be thousands of rooms in the building, but only eight feet are needed to sleep at night. All the glitz and glamor will eventually come to an end in one lifetime, so what's the point of having so much money for you and me?
What I want seems to be a school, where the sound of Lang Lang's books can be heard all day long; or a courtyard, a courtyard where the world outside the courtyard cannot be seen, and the old lotus trees in the courtyard are all eyes and ears. Talking about scriptures under plum snow, don’t raise your spirits.
For this reason, I once went to see Mr. Da. Mr. Da is not a rotten scholar who is looking for chapters and quotes. After I explained to him the whole story, Mr. Da laughed and said, "Some people like mountains, some people like the sea, and some people love Flowers, plants, people, thoughts, insects, and fish, whatever your heart desires, are all for your own good. You are still young. If you don’t want to be mediated by the officialdom, why not get out early? If one day, you really get stuck in it and can’t extricate yourself, wouldn’t you have trapped yourself in a cocoon?”
"Mr. Da, let Sanbao take over your school in the future! Hey."
I said to Mr. Big teasingly but sincerely.
"Go!" Mr. Big hit me on the head and whispered with a smile, "Don't try to take my job."
I kept pestering, holding Mr. Da's arm, and said coquettishly, "Hey! Mr. Da, just follow the junior generation, more people, more efforts!"
After my stubbornness and hard work, Mr. Da finally had no choice but to agree and hand over the school to me when I was old enough. However, looking at his very "reluctant" look, I always felt that I seemed to have been deceived. , fell into his trick.
After getting my parents' consent, I was relieved. I wanted to resign immediately, but when I thought about the fact that my salary still needed to support my family, and my appointment with Mr. Da had not yet come, I held back my temper. It was business as usual, keeping the agreement secret.
Lingyuan Shui was in trouble. The Lingyuan Liu family was quickly pacified by Mr. Da. The glitz and glamor in the officialdom was curbed. At least, it was not as blatant as before. Even Lord Ying, who likes rare treasures, is no longer aboveboard. Buy Tiancai Dibao.
After that, the eldest brother met a very happy event. In the winter of Hanli 341, he received the Pingtian Order from the Five Counties.
This is a high-ranking official with a bronze seal and green ribbon, who ranks higher than a county governor!
It is not an exaggeration to describe the big brother at this moment as "hidden dragon entering the sea."
snort! Let me just say it! No matter how bad the dragon's son is, he should not be an earthworm. For this, I wish my eldest brother the best from the bottom of my heart.
I am naturally timid and fearful. I am afraid when I meet strong-looking people, I am afraid when I meet brave warriors, I am afraid when I meet powerful people, and I am afraid when I meet talented people. The great ancestor Liu Bang once commented on his counselor Chen Ping as "a man with more than enough wisdom and plans, but it is difficult to act alone" , I guess, I should be the same type of guy.
The eldest brother is surrounded by Ying Cheng, who has excellent swordsmanship, Er Niu, who is fierce and tough, and Huang Fu Lu, who is shrewd and capable. To the eldest brother, I am just a nerd, a person who can have anything.
Because I was afraid that following my eldest brother Hirata would lead to death, that winter, I took advantage of the end-of-year evaluation of teachers in the county to go south from Lingyuan City and hid out. Although it was a bit unethical, there was nothing I could do about it. , when I think of the intrigues and fights with other clansmen in the future, my teeth can’t stop chattering and my body can’t stop trembling. I simply shouldn’t be a dragster.
To the east and slightly north of Taihao City, in the southernmost part of Xuanhuai County, there is the Jiafu Temple. This is one of the few temples in Huaxing County that is still worthy of human attention. Not far to the south is Fanggu County. territory.
In the age of great strife, the Qin Dynasty believed in Taoism, and the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism. On the borders of these two countries, they advocated Buddhism that "all dharma arises due to causes and conditions". It was the kind of Buddhism that the father did not care for and the mother did not love. The family was relatively neglected and the incense was not popular. .
But Buddhism’s approach of coming and going as circumstances dictate is what I like very much. After evaluating the students at the last public school in southern Huaxing County, I stood alone at the gate of Jiafu Temple, a deserted temple with few pilgrims, preparing to enter the temple to worship Buddha.
The entire Jiafu Temple faces north and faces south. It is said that there are Shanmen, Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Zhaitang and Pilu Pavilion. There are the Abbot's Courtyard and Yanqing Pavilion in the east, Lengyan Altar and Jietai in the west, which are solemn and solemn. Four brick pagodas stand in the Xihuntan in the back mountain to bury the abbot. Green smoke curls up all day long, and the Buddhist atmosphere is strong.
I stopped at the door. The inscription on the royal stele at the door seemed to have been unread for a long time. Under a thin layer of dust, it recorded two past events in Jiafu Temple.
The first thing is that in 299 of the Han calendar, the protracted struggle between the Qin and Han Dynasties came to an end. Emperor Shenwu returned to the capital and passed by the Lingyuan Mountains. Suddenly he felt heavy and heavy, and he felt as if he was carrying a heavy weight when walking. Normally, Shenwu Emperor Liu Chen, who was in his prime, just thought he was overworked and didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, the further south he went, his breathing became more and more difficult. Within three days, he suddenly felt short of breath, sweating frequently, and he was already exhausted. I was so pressed that I couldn't straighten my waist.
At that time, all treatments by military doctors were useless, and some of the literati accompanying Liu Chen who entered the country also began to show their magical powers. Murong Jinchuan, a close minister of the emperor and proficient in yin and yang and the five elements, even tens of thousands of people used the Haoyang Formation to exorcise Liu Chen's evil spirits. To no avail!
Perhaps Liu Chen's life should not have been cut off. At this moment, a Buddha's head suddenly descended on the Baozhu Peak where the army was stationed. It was said that Liu Chen was carrying tens of thousands of homeless souls, so he was not going fast, and he wanted to help him escape from the sea of suffering. .
Therefore, this Buddha head was set up as an altar, offering and boundary for Liu Chen under Baozhu Peak. On that day, the Buddha held the Great Compassion Mantra with his head and heart recited in armor, crossed the fire with seven golden papers and held the mantra to invite the Buddha, Bodhisattva and Vajra Protector to come to him. , eliminate disasters.
After the sacrifice, dark clouds formed in the sky, and a gloomy wind blew in. The soldiers of the three armies were blown around, and the strong wind blew away all the sacrifices on the altar. During the vision, Liu Chen vomited blood and fainted. After the vision, , the altar and the Buddha's head disappeared out of thin air. Liu Chen woke up again, feeling more energetic and unobstructed.
After returning to Chang'an, Liu Chen spent a lot of money looking for the divine monk, but could not find him, so he built Jiafu Temple to worship him.
I silently recited the annotation written by someone I don't know: If there is a Tathagata who knows that there is no physical form, and he can understand it through practice, this person will soon become a Buddha.
It turns out that Buddhists also have seven emotions and six desires. Otherwise, how could they pursue Buddhahood immediately?
Some people died, but not completely...
