Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 474 Standing as a Grandmaster at Thirty?
Monk Mingfa immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yuan. He didn't say anything for a while, but Zhu Faqian said: "This comment was made by Fo Tucheng and other masters. In fact, it is also an affirmation of all comments."

"My good friend is so talented. His comments were praised by Luoyang and imitated by the world. I don't know how many people in Jiangzuo imitated them. They all said that they were perfect. Why do we need the affirmation of your Buddhists?" Zhao Yuan As soon as he opened his mouth, a big hat fell down, and many people who came to listen to the lecture today immediately saw his identity——

This is a big black Buddha.

As soon as he said this, Zhu Faqian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed despite his profound concentration.

On the other hand, the Ming Dharma monk smiled slightly and said calmly: "Jun Zhao's words are wrong. How can Jushi Chen's comments be attributed to him alone? If there are not many people's comments, how can it be so powerful? In fact, it is Gathering the efforts of everyone to do it, and what's more, one person's efforts are sometimes limited. Although layman Chen made various comments, who can agree on the scope of these comments? In the opinion of the poor monk, the original comments are even more Like the initial matter, there are obviously sequels, so it can be seen that there should not be only a few of these comments, and it is logical to add a Buddhist comment."

"It's so logical," Zhao Yuan sneered. He had no good impression of Mingfa Monk at all. "Without Brother Chen's pioneering work, where would there be the soil for the birth of Buddhist commentary? Besides, all the previous commentaries were inherited by me, China. You, a Hu Shen alchemist, dare to advocate Hu Xue in the land of China and Luoyang. It is simply ridiculous! What’s more, your so-called Buddhist commentaries are also wrong. The commentaries in Luoyang are made by various academies. Students come forward to compete with each other on their own background, but your Buddhist commentary requires opening a forum to teach the Dharma, allowing others to learn it, and then compare it. Isn't this a public weapon for private use? Use the power of the court to spread your Dharma. !”

As soon as the "Hu Shen Alchemist" statement came out, Mo Mingfa Monk, Zhu Faqian, who had always looked calm and elegant, also had a drastic change in his expression, and everyone around him was stunned.

Among the crowd, someone asked -

"This is Zhao Yuan, who is both excellent in calligraphy and painting. I didn't expect him to have such a prejudice against Buddhism."

As soon as he finished speaking, an enthusiastic person next to him gave an explanation——

"You don't know something about this. Zhao Yuan has actually known about Buddhism for a long time, and he has visited many Buddhist masters before. In fact, he also has considerable attainments in Buddhist scriptures. He has also visited in the past He was praised by masters such as Fo Tucheng."

"Yes, I remember it too. I also heard that when someone visited Mr. Zhao before, he would get them to discuss Buddhism and study it all night. Those who didn't know it thought they were cultivating the enlightened path of immortality."

After listening to the popular science provided by several people around me, the person who originally asked the question suddenly didn’t understand.

"Then why is it like this now?"

Those people who obviously knew the inside story looked at each other and smiled, and said to this friend who was full of doubts: "Actually, this change happened in the past few days. When Zhu Faqian came here, his reputation spread. He is from the Wang family, a son of a wealthy family, so celebrities and scholars like to interact with him, and Zhao Yuan also visited him at the beginning."

"Yes, when Master Zhu came, Jun Zhao also went to greet him. It was only the relationship between Master Zhu and Master Ming that made Jun Zhao angry."

"Mingfa Monk is the same. After arriving, he intentionally or unintentionally belittled Chen Jiazheng's comments. Who doesn't know that Zhao Jun and Chen Jiazheng are on good terms? Therefore, even if Zhao Jun is provoked, it is not the end. Later, Monk Ming didn't know what method he used. He invited Fo Tucheng and other Buddhist masters. After liaising with everyone, he actually asked the Taile Department and the Secretary Supervisor to come forward together, saying that they would organize a Buddhist commentary, and everything would be according to the rules. However, the person who was invited to criticize was the Buddhist master, and the title of the first Buddhist commentator fell on the monk Ming Dharma. Zhao Jun was very angry at this point, so he came over to debate, but was dismissed instead. Master Zhu lost the argument, and this is the end of the dispute."

"I know something that I heard. It was said that there was a feud between the Ming Dynasty monk and Chen Jianzheng before, and there was a conflict in Qingzhou. Therefore, the monk held a grudge. Chen Jianzheng came to Luoyang to serve as an official, but the Ming Dynasty monk did not. While lecturing in Qingzhou, he met Zhu Faqian of the Wang family. After the two agreed, they followed the path of Fotucheng and came to Luoyang to give lectures. Master Zhu really wanted to promote Buddhism, but the purpose of Master Ming was not the same. So simple, so as soon as he arrived, he challenged all the comments left by Chen Jianzheng."

The two people finished speaking one after another, and the few people who were listening attentively could not help but suddenly realized that many of them knew what was happening and did not know why. Only now did they know the cause and effect.

But then, someone asked the person who originally asked, "By the way, brother, basically everyone in our hundreds of teahouses knows about these things. Looking at your outfit, you don't look like a commoner. Why are you wearing it?" have no idea?"

The man replied: "To tell you the truth, I recently went to Northern Xinjiang and stayed there for a while. Didn't I just come back?"

"It's no wonder I came back from northern Xinjiang."

Only then did a few other people understand.

And the person who kept asking was Chen Zhi's confidant, Su Liao.

It turned out that Su Liao visited Chen Yong, Secretary Supervisor and Zhao Mansion successively, but he didn't see anyone. However, he heard several big news in succession. He couldn't help but become solemn, so he went straight to Baijia Tea House to find out more. News, it happened to happen that Zhao Yuan and Ming Fa Seng were fighting each other.After asking here, the conversation over there also came to a conclusion, but it was not that the dispute between Zhao Yuan and Ming Fa Monk had a high or low level, but that a highly respected person came out to smooth things over. Su Liao still has an impression of this person. He was the one who did it before. Wang Lan, who has commented on paintings.

He is also a member of the Wang family, and he has also judged Chen Zhi and Zhao Yuan——

Zhao Yuan initially competed with Chen Zhi on his painting skills. At that time, Wang Lan was the witness and critic. In the end, Zhao Yuan tore up the painting himself.

As soon as Wang Lan came out, everyone saluted one after another, and then heard him say to Zhao Xing: "Nephew, how can you talk like this? How can we just reject it?"

"What the prince said is true." When Zhao Yuan faced Wang Lan, his attitude naturally softened a little, "However, when my good friend left, he repeatedly told him that the comments had the ability to lead the trend. It is also the responsibility of advocating for learning. Now not only Luoyang, but also other places are following suit. It can be seen that Chen Zhi is not just talking. In such a situation, it is not enough to advocate Chinese learning. Hundreds of schools of thought are divided into several schools. How can we ignore the Central Plains culture and advocate Hu Xue instead? Isn’t it putting the cart before the horse?"

Wang Lan frowned slightly.

Zhao Yuan seemed unaware and continued to say: "If you want to learn Buddhism, you can study it in your spare time. The younger generation also has experience in Buddhism, but they don't think that this Buddhist teaching can be included in the comments. The rest of the Commentary, calligraphy, music, paintings, articles, etc., are all Chinese learning, the six arts of a gentleman, and what the Buddhists say is wonderful, but those who serve the Buddha want to destroy the hair and skin given by their parents, and they will never do it. The ancestral temple of our ancestors can be understood through Buddhism, but Buddhists should not serve it. If we use various commentaries to advocate and change the trend, wouldn't it destroy the foundation of China?"

"That's too much!" Wang Lan finally showed a bit of displeasure, "Your words will inevitably make people think that they are alarmist. Master Zhu's knowledge is not limited to Buddhism. He is from the Wang family of Langya. Although I am from the Wang family of Taiyuan, But some people have also heard that he is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has profound knowledge of classics. Master Fotucheng also said that he unified Prajna learning and combined the strengths of various schools. He can be regarded as a comprehensive figure. Although he is not old, he is Looking at all the families in the Central Plains, I'm afraid there is no one who can achieve academic success like him at such an age! He can be called a master!"

As soon as this comment came out, the crowd suddenly became a little commotion, because although this group of people admired Zhu Faqian, they just thought that he could open a lecture forum and become a master at a young age. But now after hearing what Wang Lan said, they just thought I know that even Fotucheng, the great Buddhist master who is famous in Luoyang, said that Zhu Faqian was a man of great achievements!

What is a comprehensive collection?
That is the evaluation of Confucius in "Mencius": Confucius said that he has gathered great things, and he has achieved great success!
It is to evolve the knowledge and scholarship of the predecessors into a mature system, and then integrate it into a whole body!
However, Zhu Faqian is full of potential and he is only [-] years old, so he has become a grandmaster?
So when Zhao Yuan heard this statement, his expression changed slightly, and his face became a little more solemn. He subconsciously looked at Zhu Faqian, but saw that the latter looked as usual, neither proud nor panicked. He was not complacent or pretending to be humble. .

After Wang Lan said this, he breathed a little, looked at Zhao Yuan, and said seriously: "I know, I'm afraid you still don't believe it in your heart, and that's okay. Until the day of the Buddhist commentary in a few days, everything will be over. Naturally, we can see the difference, which is also the reason why this Buddhist commentary is held!"

The Buddhist Commentary was actually held because of this Zhu Dharma Qian?

Everyone's eyes fell on the elegant monk again, but the latter's expression remained unchanged as if the breeze was blowing on his face.

"From this point of view, this Buddhist commentary is going to be held no matter what, so it's okay, then Zhao will go to see what kind of mastery this Buddhist master is!"

After saying that, he flung his sleeves and left, and the crowd also consciously gave way.

Wang Lan looked at Zhao Yuan's back, shook his head slightly, and then smiled at Zhu Faqian and said: "Master, don't worry, Zhao Jun is also a scholar. On the day of the Buddhist commentary, you will naturally understand after seeing the book written by Master."

Zhu Faqian remained silent and just nodded, but others who looked at him couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He really had the bearing of a master. At such an age, if the evaluation is true, he might be the youngest grandmaster in the Central Plains.

Those who study regardless of priority, internal or external, can form a family of their own, and lead achievements can all be called masters.

"Unfortunately, the people in Luoyang City have forgotten that the emperor is still fighting against the rebellion, and they are all waiting for the so-called Buddhist commentary. If this Buddhist commentary really makes Zhu Faqian make any noise, and with the help of Jiangdu King, I am afraid that the people of Luoyang will Comment, we will have to change the family from now on! Come to think of it, when Chen Zhi left, he didn't expect such a change."

Outside the tea shop, Zhao Yuan was walking and thinking. When he got on the bullock cart and was about to leave, someone came to meet him.

"I am Xia Su Liao. I came here on the orders of the Lord and have met Mr. Zhao."
