Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 485 I have another book!
Da da da!
The sound of horseshoes was urgent, and he rode a fast horse to the north of Luoyang City, took out the official customs clearance document, and handed it to the guard at the city gate.

The guard looked at it for a few times, then raised his head and said with a smile: "You came from Dai County? It has only been a few days, and you came too fast. What is your purpose?"

The rider was quite sensible. He took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it over. He said with a smile: "This is to send a letter home to the prefect. Our prefect Chen, you know."

"Prefect Chen? I know, I know, that's a very capable man. Who doesn't know the reputation of Luoyang's commentaries? Even if the Buddha's Commentary is so powerful now, isn't it still the commentators who follow suit? Okay. , hurry up and enter the city!"

"Thank you brother!"

The rider thanked him and then led his horse into the city. He did not have a military order and was not allowed to gallop freely in the city. However, as soon as he entered, he still walked quickly and went straight to Chen Zhi's house in the city.

When Chen Zhi was an official in Luoyang, the imperial court assigned him a corresponding residence, which has not been revoked yet. In addition, there is also a courtyard donated by Chen Yong. This is where the rider went. .

But not long after he entered, he came out again with a confused look on his face, and then went straight to the city gate.

………………

On the other side, the Buddhist commentary outside Shouguang Temple is still in progress.

After Fo Zhizuo suggested, he first asked people to serve the vegetarian meal. Because there were many people expected to come, the vegetarian meal was prepared in large quantities, but the taste could not be expected.

After the meal, everyone's emotions calmed down again. Under the guidance of Ming Dharma Monk, the topic finally turned to Buddhist commentary.

"Faqian, your handiwork is better than many Buddhist scriptures in the past."

With King Jiangdu's initiative, everyone followed suit and read the Buddhist scriptures. Then they compared them one by one. Wang Yan coughed a few times and praised him.

He also wants to understand now that he is a descendant of his own family and cannot really bring trouble. If he really wants to understand Chen Zhi's Dharma theory, he can wait until the Buddhist commentary. Since he can't escape anyway, he might as well give King Jiangdu some face now.

Moreover, Zhu Faqian's notes are indeed very rare. If the Dharma Commentary had not happened, I am afraid that this note alone would have caused a lot of trouble.

Especially when everyone spread out their notes and searched for Buddhist scriptures based on some of the notes on them, this feeling became even more obvious.

“I really didn’t expect that even a person like me, who knows only a little about Buddhist scriptures, would feel enlightened after reading this note and reading the Buddhist scriptures again!”

After Liu Jin read a Buddhist scripture, he actually showed a pious expression. He went on to say: "I feel the peace of mind and my true pursuit. Although I have heard about Buddhism and read several Buddhist scriptures in the past, but Now that I think about it, it’s all just literal meaning, a hasty understanding, and there’s no real understanding in it at all.”

Not only Liu Jin, but also several other people were also filled with admiration after reading it.

This one says: "The teachings of the Buddhist scriptures come from the heart and make people calm."

He said: "I used to think that this line of Buddhist scripture was just to persuade people to do good. Now I understand that it actually means transcendence. No wonder when I looked down in the past, I always felt that something was missing. Now that I think about it, it's me. The state of my mind is not enough!”

And everyone concluded: "This is also the credit of this notebook. Remove the false and preserve the true, peel off layers of fog, and reach the beauty of the Buddhist scriptures. Otherwise, how can I understand it all at once?"

In fact, this is not surprising. Masters of music like Liu Jin, or other masters who are good at painting, etc., are quite emotional in nature. They were just inspired by the Dharma theory, and with the help of Zhu Faqian's notes, they further understood the Dharma. Naturally, I feel that my spirit has been sublimated and my mood is agitated.

But this kind of evaluation really made King Jiangdu and the others heave a sigh of relief, and several monks also calmed down slightly.

Many of these monks, such as Fo Tucheng, Fo Zhizuo, Bhikkhu Shutuo, etc., are all experienced and have extraordinary concentration. Even Zhu Fazhi and Zhu Faqian, who are slightly younger and have extraordinary backgrounds, have been immersed in Buddhism for many years and have already developed The concentration of Taishan collapsed in front of him without moving his mind.

It's just that today's matter is really related to the spread of Buddhism. These monks have a sense of responsibility and responsibility. When it comes to promoting Buddhism, they can't stay calm.

As soon as Chen Zhi's Dharma theory came out, all of them were a little confused. They were worried that today's affairs would end in an anticlimax and make wedding clothes for others. Now that things were back on track, they finally felt relieved.

"I just hope there won't be any further complications."

The five monks looked at each other and had this thought. They knew how powerful Chen Zhi was. They didn't think anything of it before. They just thought he was a famous celebrity, but he was not old, so he was a little arrogant. Of course, this arrogance This perception was actually instilled in them by Mingfa Monk.

But because of this, they turned a blind eye when Ming Dharma monk belittled Chen Zhi overtly or covertly when he was promoting Buddhist commentary. Now they couldn't help but feel a ray of regret. However, they were somewhat relieved. After all, they wanted to come to Chen Zhi. There is only one Dharma treatise, which is surprising enough. There will be no surprises later that can shake up the spread of Buddhist scriptures.

The one who had the same mood was King Jiangdu.

The birth of the Buddhist Commentary was not only driven by the monks' ideas and trends in promoting Buddhism, but also relied on the promotion of him as the reigning prince. King Jiangdu was involved in it. How could he not know Mingfa Monk's little actions? It's just that he and Mingfa Monk were old acquaintances. , the Jiangshui Temple of Mingfa Monk is right next to the fiefdom of King Jiangdu, and there are frequent contacts between the two sides.

King Jiangdu didn't take Mingfa Monk's revenge against Chen Zhi seriously at all. In his opinion, no matter how powerful Chen Zhi was, he was still a young scholar. Even if he founded the commentaries, he was still in northern Xinjiang. Could it be that his influence on Luoyang could be compared to that of a person in power like him?

He never expected that the other party would mess up the situation he had worked so hard to manage just by sending him a book.

"Fortunately, we are back on track now, but we can't let Chen Zhi's matter mess up anymore..." The prince glanced at Zhao Yuan not far away with lingering fear.

Zhao Yuan was in the limelight today. Not only did he enhance Chen Zhi's reputation, but he also avenged his previous refutation. Now that he saw everyone, he was satisfied and had no intention of causing trouble. He was just planning in his heart. How could he advertise Chen Zhi's white paper? Otherwise, if he did it himself and Chen Zhi asked him about it afterwards, it would be embarrassing if others only knew about Dharma and not Chen's white paper.Zhao Yuan's thoughts also made him appear much more stable, which made King Jiangdu who was watching him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now that Zhao Yuan has no intention of causing trouble, as long as he doesn't provoke him anymore, I believe nothing will happen. But then again, Chen Zhi is really powerful. I underestimated him in the past, but at his age , it’s already a blessing to be able to write a Dharma treatise, and I guess there won’t be any back-up, otherwise with Zhao Yuan’s temperament, he wouldn’t have become honest so quickly.”

King Jiangdu would never have thought that the Dharma treatise that was valued and respected by everyone, and would even cause a storm in Luoyang, was actually just a large-scale advertisement. Chen Zhi's real purpose was to sell paper.

It is estimated that if Wang Yan and others knew about this, their chests would definitely feel tight.

But at this time, Su Liao was anxious looking at the current situation.

"What's going on? Are you talking about Buddhism now? No more Dharma? What about the paper? Zhao Yuan made such a fuss, and no one said anything about the paper in the end. Such a good opportunity, if you don't take advantage of it I don’t know how much effort it will take afterwards, and I will have to lower my evaluation when handing over the job.”

With such thoughts, Su Liao was in a dilemma. He wanted to remind him, but after taking a few steps forward, he hesitated when he reached the edge of the stage and thought of his identity.

Now, if he ran to the front, in such a solemn place, and reminded a celebrity to find a way to sell paper in such a solemn place, it would not be a good thing to spread the word.

Little did he know that his actions fell into the eyes of a caring person.

This person is Leqi.

Leqi's situation is very bad. Although Fo Criticism seems to be back on track, he has been drifting away from the edge since he was reprimanded by Wang Yan. With Wang Yan's status and prestige, Leqi can imagine his situation after Fo Criticism. Definitely not good.

In addition, he deliberately targeted Chen Zhi, and as a result, Chen Zhi took out the Dharma Treatise, which is comparable to Zhu Faqian's notes. If the notes become famous in the future, the Dharma Treatise will follow, and what he does today will also be spread. If the two books are Heirloom, then...

"Am I not going to be infamy for eternity?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Le Yue's whole body was aroused. There was an indescribable fear, a fear that he could not rest in peace until he died, pressing in his heart, prompting his whole body to think about how to get rid of this. kind of situation.

Now, Su Liao's expression and behavior fell into his eyes, and Leqi immediately started to make assumptions.

Like King Jiangdu, he also knew very well that with Zhao Yuan's temperament, he should not be able to calm down so easily, so quickly, and without saying a word or even saying a word.

"Perhaps there are some flaws in Chen Zhi's Dharma theory, or there are some hidden dangers behind it. Otherwise, Su Liao wouldn't be like this. He hesitated to speak. He seemed to have something to remind Zhao Yuan, but he didn't dare to take it seriously. Let’s speak clearly in public!”

He certainly recognized Su Liao and knew that this person was Chen Zhi's aide. When he saw that, he made a guess and then looked towards Monk Ming.

The latter nodded to him as well.

Unlike other monks, Mingfa Monk was most keen to belittle Chen Zhi, so he had the same worries and fears as Leqi. Therefore, their stance had deviated from that of King Jiangdu, the Five Monks and others.

Therefore, when everyone was immersed in the comparison between Zhu Faqian's notes and Buddhist scriptures, the atmosphere became harmonious, there were no more quarrels, and it gradually became quiet.

The monk who understood the Dharma said nonchalantly: "This Buddhist sutra can guide people's thinking and help them understand me. Perhaps it is at a higher level than simply discussing the Dharma."

Everyone was slightly taken aback when they heard the words.

But Le Qi said without losing the opportunity: "In fact, just looking at this note is actually better. Because what is recorded in this note is actually a method of translating Buddhist scriptures, which involves a wider range. There are hundreds of Buddhist scriptures, and they are in the body. The Poison Land has been passed down for countless years and covers all parties. Strictly speaking, it actually goes far beyond the scope of a single school of thought!"

The scene suddenly became quieter.

What does this mean? You will know after a little taste.

Even King Jiangdu understood immediately.

You guys are still causing trouble!
But before anyone could speak, Zhao Yuan jumped up, his face flashing with anger, he took out a book from his arms and hit Leqi directly in the face.

Snapped!
Although the book didn't have many pages, it used a new paper-making method, so it was extra tough. If it hit Leqi's face, it would immediately make Leqi's whole face burn with pain.

He grabbed the thing and glared at Zhao Yuan with anger on his face.

"What do you mean!"

"I want to put things to rest, and I was planning to recommend Brother Chen's white paper to everyone later. I didn't expect you to be ignorant. No matter what, just take a good look at it!" Zhao Yuan said as he walked up. In front of him, he slapped Leqi on the elbow, using a technique that he had obviously practiced, so that Leqi's arm was sore. He took the book back, with a distressed expression on his face, looked at it, and raised it again.

"Didn't you say that we are not limited to one school of thought? As it happens, I also have a book by Brother Chen, please take a look!"
