People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 250: Han Yu was demoted. On the day of his birthday, his nephew wrote a poem about where is Heng Qinling’s family? 【Please subscribe】

"A certain minister said that those who worshiped the Buddha were one of the dharma ears of the barbarians and the Di. They flowed into China since the Later Han Dynasty and were unprecedented in ancient times. In the past, the Yellow Emperor reigned for a hundred years and was a hundred and ten years old; Shaohao reigned for 80 years and was a hundred years old. ;…………

Buddhism began to exist during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Ming only reigned for 18 years.Afterwards, chaos and death occurred one after another, and luck did not last long.During the Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, Yuan and Wei dynasties, Buddhism became more and more prudent, and the times were especially fast. However, in the 48 years of Emperor Wu of Liang's reign, he sacrificed his life for Buddhism three times before and after. The sacrifices in the ancestral temple did not require animals to be imprisoned, and he ate only once a day. He stopped at Caiguo, but was later forced by Hou Jing to starve to death in Taicheng, and the country was also destroyed.Serving Buddha to seek blessings will only lead to disaster.From this point of view, it can be seen that the Buddha does not have enough things to do.

Now I heard that Your Majesty ordered a group of monks to welcome the Buddha's bones to Fengxiang, watch them from the imperial tower, and move them into the palace. He also ordered all the temples to welcome the Buddha's bones and make offerings.Even though I am very foolish, I must know that Your Majesty is not confused by the Buddha, and you worship me in this way to pray for good fortune and good fortune.He always enjoys being in his prime years and is partial to others, so he creates strange views for the people of Kyoto and makes them play with his ears.

If there is a sage like this, he is willing to believe in such things!However, the common people are ignorant and easy to be confused but difficult to understand. Seeing your majesty like this, they will say that they are sincerely devoted to the Buddha. They all say: "The emperor, the great sage, is still devoted to faith. Who are the common people? How can they care about their lives?"

Burning their heads and fingers, they form a group of hundreds and ten, take off their clothes and scatter money, and from morning to night, they follow each other's example, lest in the future, young and old will run around and abandon their careers.If we don't impose a ban immediately and go to all the temples, there will be people with broken arms and limbs as offerings.

It is not a trivial matter to disgrace one's customs and make people laugh in all directions... In ancient times, when princes were hanging in their country, they would order the witches and Zhu to use peach and bamboo to ward off bad luck before proceeding to the funeral.

……

……

If the Buddha has a spirit, he can cause misfortune. If there is any disaster, he should be punished by his body. God will give him a warning, and he will not regret it! "

Han Yu wrote vigorously, and in a flash, he wrote an eternal article "Admonition to the Buddha's Bone Table".

The article is full of momentum, always has a harmonious tone, and has the power of gold and stone.

He used historical events as evidence, his reasoning was thorough, his style of speech was exciting, and he was very eloquent!

When he finished writing, Han Yu stared at it for a long time, and suddenly he felt that the joy and joy in his heart poured out, rushing towards the city!

At that time, the boy was nearby and did not dare to breathe.

Looking sideways at the desk, he only read a few sentences before feeling a sense of fear all over his body.

The words are sharp and the writing style is angry. He denounces the Holy Master for personally embracing the Dharma. This is really not what a wise king would say!
It not only wastes people and money, but also does nothing to educate people!

It can be expected that as soon as this article comes out, it will cause a sensation in the entire Tang Dynasty!
"Master, do you have to think about it?"

After being silent for a while, the boy suddenly spoke nervously.

"Although I am already an old man, I still want to be the first for the world!"

Han Yu spoke in a deep voice, with sharp eyes and a firm tone.

He has planned to return to Chang'an in person and hand this memorial to the Holy One!

No matter what, if you want to persuade the Holy One, you must not do this!

Therefore, this day, Japan and South Korea simply packed their luggage.

Early the next morning, I got on the carriage and headed to Chang'an.

As soon as he left the house, he immediately alarmed the entire city of Changli!

You know, Han Yu has been retired and returned to his hometown for five years.

He spent most of his time here lecturing and writing books, and rarely left Changli City.

In addition, many students come here every year to visit him.

Now that he has suddenly left home, everyone has to be curious. Where is Mr. Han going at such an old age?
As for the fact that the Holy One wanted to welcome the Buddha's bones in person, it only spread in Chang'an.

At present, the news has not reached Changli.

Therefore, no one knows.

However, within a few days, the news of the Holy Master personally welcoming the Buddha's bones will spread throughout the world!

……

three days later.

A carriage slowly drove into Chang'an, heading towards the direction of the Han Mansion.

Although Han Yu no longer serves in the imperial court, there are still members of the Han family serving in Beijing.

Most positions are not low!

His arrival shocked the Han clan in Chang'an.

You know, if it weren't for Han Tuizhi from the Han family, the Han family would not be so famous.

Not even from aristocratic family.

It can be said that Han Yu is the ancestor of the Han family.

The Han family can have such a large network of contacts, industries, and fame, mostly thanks to Han Yu!

Without him, it would even be difficult to gain a foothold in Chang'an.

Now, he arrived in Chang'an without saying a word, which really caught everyone off guard.

"Uncle, how come you have time to come to Chang'an?"

In the lobby of Han Mansion.

Han Lizheng welcomed Han Yu to the front of the hall and sat down with a respectful look.

Then he asked politely.

After finishing speaking, he lectured the young boy again:
"Liang'an, what's the matter with you? My uncle came to Chang'an. How come he didn't know to inform me in advance and ask me to lead the younger members of the clan to greet him?"

"Zhengchi, no need to mention him, I came to Chang'an directly because of my rise."

Hearing this, Han Yu waved his hand and said.

Hearing this, Han Li nodded, then frowned:
"Uncle, at such an old age, you can enjoy your old age in Changli without having to travel to Chang'an. If this goes wrong, we can't bear it."

Hearing this, Han Yu snorted coldly and said dissatisfied:
"Humph!"

"What can't be taken care of? Such a big thing happened in the court. You are in high positions one by one, and you are depriving yourself of the emperor's salary. It's not a bad idea to say Gonggun, but you didn't write to tell me. It was Liu Shisun who wrote to tell me, so I found out. The Holy One wants to receive the Buddha’s bones!”

Han Li hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said:

"Uncle, forgive me. We were negligent for a moment. Besides, the matter of welcoming the Buddha's bones is sanctioned by the Holy One. Even if we inform my uncle, what will happen?"

In fact, when he learned that Han Yu had come to Chang'an, he had vaguely guessed something.

In recent years, His Majesty has been pro-Buddhist. When his ancestor was in his hometown of Changli, he often criticized Buddhism and often advised the world's officials to focus on learning and not to believe.

Han Li had certainly heard all kinds of rumors.

I also understand that Han Yu disapproves of the Holy Father being pro-Buddha.

Now, the Holy One is about to welcome the Buddha's bones. If he is told about this, how will this old ancestor who has not yet seen him make a fuss?

Who would have thought that Han Li was on guard against his own Han family, but he never expected the Liu family and others.

Hearing this, Han Yu shook his head and chewed on Han Li's words:
"How can it be?"

But his face gradually showed a look of disappointment, and he said:
"Zhengchi, I want to ask you, how did you get to be a third-grade official now?"

"Uncle Master, I got it by taking the exam," Han Li replied.

Han Yu asked again:

"What if we don't rely on this in the future? How will the imperial court select talents?"

"Could it be that Ping Ke just recited a few volumes of sutras and preached a paragraph of Buddhist teachings?"

"If this is the case, all the officials in the world will read the books of sages and focus on Buddhism. But in the country, who will work, who will produce, who will farm, or just recite Amitabha, seedlings will grow in the fields and embankments will be repaired?" dam?"

"This……"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Li was stunned. He didn't know how to answer at all.

"Why, can't you answer?"

Seeing this, Han Yu's face darkened slightly.

"Uncle, this junior is wrong!"

Suddenly, Han Min seemed to have realized something, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately knelt on the ground with a pop and said sadly.

Seeing that Han Li understood the seriousness of the matter, Han Yu did not reprimand him too much, but just said:

"Fortunately, it's not too late for you to wake up. I will accompany you to the court tomorrow to meet His Majesty."

"Yes, Uncle Shi."

Han Li nodded and agreed immediately.

After noon that day, Han Li called other tribesmen from Chang'an here.

Let me tell you that Uncle Master wants to advise the Holy One to welcome the Buddha's bones.

After learning about this, many members of the Han family were shocked.

Do you understand what this means?
That is almost the opposite of His Majesty!
If Han Yu had come to persuade His Majesty a few years ago, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, maybe His Majesty would have listened.

But now that he is firmly seated in the court, why should he remonstrate with him at this time?

How could the Holy One continue to listen?Besides, once Chrysostom is opened, how can it be taken back?

Now tomorrow, there will be another violent storm in the court hall.

Suddenly, many members of the Han clan felt that a storm was coming.

……

the other side.

The news of Han Yu's arrival in Chang'an spread throughout Chang'an in less than a day.

At that time, his great-nephew Han Xiangzi, also known as the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji, was so elegant!

Being favored by the late emperor, he was not only treated with great courtesy, but also appointed as his national advisor, built temples and repaired statues of gods.

And because of him, Han Yu became a great minister beside the Holy Emperor!

Above the imperial court, there are almost no ministers who can compare with him!

But in recent years, with the accession of the new emperor to the throne, the resignation of Minister Han and the disappearance of the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji, the court's favor towards the Han family has slowly receded.

At present, the Holy Master will soon welcome the Buddha's bones. At this opportunity, Han Shilang returned to Chang'an.

Coupled with Han Yu's previous remarks criticizing Buddhism in Changli, some interested people had to guess the purpose of his visit to Chang'an this time.

If this is really the case, then Han Yu would have risked the world to speak out!
Whether it is true or not may be known tomorrow morning.

……

In the blink of an eye, the night passed.

When the golden bell rings in the imperial city and the morning sun shines.

As soon as the civil and military officials arrived, they walked through the long white jade street and slowly arrived at the Golden Palace.

However, among the crowd, Han Yu looked extremely eye-catching in his plain clothes.

Seeing him going to court, some of his disciples, old friends and relatives also came over to say hello.

Soon, there was a great eunuch in front of the palace, who was wielding a whip nine times.

The new Tang Emperor, already wearing a dragon robe, walked to the dragon chair surrounded by people from the palace.

As soon as he sat on the dragon chair, Emperor Tang looked down at the ministers and immediately spotted Han Yu.

Emperor Tang also heard about Han Yu's visit to Chang'an yesterday at the palace last night.

However, I didn't expect that he would actually come to court today.

After all the civil and military officials had finished shouting "Long Live Long Live", the Emperor of Tang Dynasty asked Han Yu:
"Han Laoqing's family has come to Chang'an for a rare occasion. I thought I was here to visit my relatives, but I didn't expect that I would also come to the court today."

"But I don't know where the so-called Han Laoqing family comes from?"

After all, Han Yu was an important minister in the late emperor's time and a great Confucian who was famous all over the world.

What's more, his nephew Dongxiao Guangji Tianshi saved the Tang Dynasty!

Even if he knew Han Yu's intention of coming to the court, Emperor Tang could not look unhappy and deliberately make things difficult for him.

I can only ask in a friendly manner.

Brush brush!
After Emperor Tang finished speaking, all the civil and military officials above the main hall looked over.

In fact, the Holy Spirit had already given him a step down when he asked this question.

It depends on how Han Yu chooses?
At this moment, Han Li was a little nervous.

He didn't dare to look at Han Yu.

Under the gaze of everyone, Han Yu looked calm. He said nothing. He just slowly took out a memorial from his arms, walked to the front of the hall, and said:
"Your Majesty, the common people have a watch to show!"

This sentence made all the civil and military officials present look startled.

Indeed, Han Yu has retired and returned to his hometown and no longer serves in the imperial court.

"Bring it up."

Seeing this situation, Emperor Tang looked a little uncertain and gave instructions to the guards in front of him.

Not long after, the guard walked over, took the "Remonstrance to the Buddha's Bone Table" and presented it to the Holy One.

Opening the table, Emperor Tang slowly took a look at it.

But the closer he looked to the end, the worse his face became, and the more powerful he became. The power of a thunderous monarch seemed to spread in the hall.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the court was so solemn that all the ministers dared not look directly at the Holy One.

After a long time, Emperor Tang put down the memorial table, looked directly at Han Yu and said:
"Mr. Han loves you, I have made up my mind to welcome the Buddha's bones in person. There is no need to mention this matter again."

"Since you are a meritorious official of our dynasty and a literary sect of the generation, I will not pursue the crime of disrespect."

"If there is nothing else, Mr. Han Aiqing should go to court first."

Emperor Tang finally suppressed his anger and did not blame Han Yu.

Hearing this, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty firmly believes in Buddhism, and ordinary people dare not say anything. But if you want to welcome the Buddha's bones into Chang'an, it goes against the system."

"Please, Your Majesty, take your life back!"

Unexpectedly, Han Yu actually turned a deaf ear to the Holy Sage's words, but still argued with reason and resolutely remonstrated.

"Old Ai Qing Han, you are already old, so there is no need to get involved in this matter. I will make my own decision on what is more serious."

"Come here, please bring Mr. Han Aiqing down to court."

At that time, Emperor Tang's face was already a little ugly.

Han Yu was so aggressive that he simply couldn't get off the stage!
While thinking about it, Emperor Tang directly asked people to invite Han Yu to the court.

"The grassroots won't leave!"

"Unless the Holy One agrees to the advice of the common people, he refuses to welcome the Buddha's bones into Chang'an."

Han Yu shook his head. His face was firm and he would not give in.

Seeing the stalemate between the monarch and his ministers, all the civil and military officials were a little at a loss.

Some ministers persuaded Han Yu to go to court first. Whatever happened, we could discuss it in the morning.

Of course, some ministers took advantage of Han Yu's common style to directly advise the Tang Emperor to refuse to welcome the Buddha's bones.

In less than a moment of burning incense, the Jinluan Hall was already noisy.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huang had a headache.

He sighed helplessly and said to Han Yu:
"Mr. Han, I welcome the Buddha's bones for the sake of the country. Besides, I have already opened the golden mouth, so why can't I take it back?"

"The Buddha's bones are already on the road. If you refuse to welcome them now, you will be neglecting my Buddha."

"Your Majesty, if you really care about the country, you should understand that this Buddha's bones cannot be welcomed!"

Han Yu replied loudly.

As soon as he opened his mouth, many ministers agreed:

"Your Majesty, Minister Han is right, this Buddha's bones cannot be welcomed!"

"Your Majesty, it has never happened before that the emperor came out of the city to welcome the Buddha's bones. You are the most powerful person in the world, how can you do this?"

"Your Majesty, take back your life quickly!"

"..."

Seeing the ministers starting to play in a commotion because of Han Yu's words, Emperor Tang was a little impatient and resentful. At this moment, his anger could no longer be suppressed. He slapped the dragon chair and said angrily:

"Why can't we welcome this Buddha's bones?"

"When the Dongxiao Guangji Tianshi Temple was completed, the late emperor personally observed the ceremony and went out to greet it. Why do you want to welcome the Buddha's bones, but you are here to push and hold them back!"

"Han Yu, do you really think that I dare not deal with you?"

Hearing this, Han Yu said neither humble nor arrogantly:

"If you deal with the common people, your majesty can change his mind, and the common people will be willing to do so!"

Hearing this, Emperor Tang sneered and said:

"Okay! Since Mr. Han Aiqing said so, I will order you, a great scholar, to go to Chaozhou and take up the post to educate those unruly people!"
