Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 488 Where is the Buddhist theory?

"What's the matter? What happened?"

"This Governor Chen, is he talking about Chen Jianzheng, right? Why do you think he speaks too loudly?"

"Didn't you praise Supervisor Chen just now? Why did your tone change as soon as you turned around?"

The people in the audience looked at each other in confusion after hearing these words, and then became more and more concerned.

In this way, Leqi's goal was achieved. Regardless of Zhao Yuan's annoyed and angry look opposite him, he said as if he had been saying it since ancient times: "A book of Dharma is not surprising to me, but if it is based on this general outline, Other books can also be written. Let’s not say they can be written, just say a few books can be written in the past few years. That would be incredible, but now it seems that it is just a big talk!”

"What qualifications do you have to say that?" Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Leqi with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Brother Chen can write Dharma treatises, and naturally he can also write other things. It's just a matter of sequence. It’s just the order, not to mention other things, isn’t the Dharmastra alone not enough to prove his talent?”

But in order to clear up his reputation and avoid being infamy for eternity, how could Leqi miss such an opportunity?Now even Wang Yan didn't say anything to stop him or defend Chen Zhi!

"Whatever the theory is, I also know that this book is indeed a rare masterpiece. Based on this book alone, Chen Zhi can be called a master. However, the so-called master must at least have both talent and virtue!" Le He sneered and looked at Zhao Yuan without fear, "Let me ask, Chen Zhi has talent and learning now, but what about his virtue?"

"Oh? Could it be that my Brother Chen's virtue is lacking?" Zhao Yuan quickly calmed down after hearing this. It can be said that the root cause of the current unfavorable situation is his impulse, and the cause is the joy in front of him. Of course, the current situation is Be extra vigilant.

"Virtue?" Leqi smiled, waved his sleeves, and pointed at the people around him, "Everyone, just look at this Dharma treatise and the general outline today, don't you understand? Chen Shouyi is clearly dissatisfied with the king of Jiangdu Bingzheng. , because I have a quarrel with Master Mingfa and I don’t like Buddhism, so I chose today, today, to take out such a book and want to destroy this important event of Buddhist commentary!"

Zhao Yuan frowned and was about to speak, but King Jiangdu asked unexpectedly: "Master Le, you are also a famous person in the capital, so you can't talk nonsense. Can you prove these? Chen Zhi and I, Su I haven't met, but I still respect Tai's talent and learning, why would he be dissatisfied with me?"

When Zhao Yuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that King Jiangdu seemed to be speaking truthfully, but in fact he had a prejudice against Chen Zhi, so his words were actually very guiding.

Leqi cupped his hands, and then said with a solemn face: "Actually, I know a little bit about Chen Zhi. You all knew at that time that Chen Zhi and I had some conflicts, which is okay. You should be broad-minded, so it's not They argue with him, but Chen Zhi is different. He is a bit headstrong and does not like to be overpowered by others. Therefore, the commentators in Luoyang did not hesitate to ruin the reputation of others and also wanted to stand out for themselves. Zhao Yuan and Zhao Jun, you Don’t you also suffer a loss?”

"Don't say these are useless!" Zhao Yuan sneered, "Is this your certificate? If you want to talk about that painting competition, it is because my skills are not as good as others, and there is nothing to complain about. Brother Chen and I also We agreed to compete again in the future. I competed with him three times while he was in Luoyang, and I was always convinced by the defeat. What can I say? But you, and that Mingfa monk, slandered Brother Chen everywhere because of a conflict. , I have never heard him say anything wrong with you!"

Leqi was not angry. He laughed and said like a celebrity: "Zhao Jun has a broad mind. Let me make it clear. What Chen Zhi values ​​​​is nothing more than the Luoyang Commentaries. What are the Commentaries? The front is also As I said, those are the Luoyang masters who criticize the academies in Luoyang and spread the name all over the world. What do these masters have to do with the academies and Chen Zhi? Aren't those who really show off their writing, painting, and music all the academy students? They are willing I came forward for the sake of everyone, but in the end the reputation fell on Chen Zhi, is this normal?"

In the last sentence, he looked at many people and asked, making several of them frown.

King Jiangdu stroked his beard and nodded. Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Zhao Yuan, he felt a sense of relief in his heart. He was so embarrassed just now that he almost couldn't get off the stage. Now that the situation is changing, he is optimistic about the success.

The expressions of the five monks beside them also changed, seeming to be relaxed and happy.

Zhao Yuan was furious. He felt that Leqi was really shameless. Looking at a few people who seemed to be trying to make a move, he felt that these people were really ungrateful!

Without Chen Zhi's guidance, without Chen Zhi's mediation, without Chen Zhi's planning and arrangement, everyone in Luoyang would still be touring the mountains and rivers, and the students in the academy would still be quarreling with each other. How could it be like this now, with celebrities and celebrities so famous? Scholars and scholars also gained something, and the fighting in Luoyang was reduced a lot.

Not to mention, everyone and students were reluctant at first, thinking that participating in the comments was to give Chen Zhi face. Only when they got the benefits in the end did they understand the meaning.But these words involve interests, and Zhao Yuan knew it even when he was confused, so he couldn't say it in person. Once he said this, everyone would be self-defeating if they couldn't stand up.

So he could only say: "Without Brother Chen's connection, where would all the comments come from? Don't confuse right and wrong, you must know..."

"That's all," Leqi obviously hadn't finished what he said, and he didn't intend to let Zhao Yuan finish. "He attributed all the names of Luoyang's commentators to his own head, and took the talents of everyone, It's all on his own head, and no one is allowed to imitate and surpass him. Now just looking at the posture of the Buddha's commentaries, he knows that he will surpass all the commentators. Looking at the background of the masters, they are also far superior to Chen Zhi! He was unhappy, so he When he sent me a Dharma treatise, he must have racked his brains to write it. He wanted to write another book, but it was so difficult! But I was afraid that one book would not be able to mess up the Buddhist commentary, so I made a plan. I wrote that general outline and created a huge battle, but I didn’t know it was self-defeating!”

"That's nonsense!" Zhao Yuan couldn't bear it anymore and took two steps forward to catch Leqi, but the latter was already prepared and quickly backed away.

As he retreated, he smiled and said, "What? Did I mention the sore spot?"

"What's the pain? It's ridiculous!" Zhao Yuan's eyes were cold, "Brother Chen racked his brains to write some Dharma commentaries for a Buddhist commentary. This statement is simply laughable. Whenever such a book appears, it will be famous for future generations. Is it really necessary to write a commentary on Buddhism? It’s simply putting the cart before the horse. What you said is just to suppress Brother Chen’s reputation. I know what you are thinking. You were reprimanded by the prince just now. You are worried about the spread of bad reputation, so you don’t hesitate to ruin Brother Chen’s reputation. Contrasting black and white is really the behavior of a villain! A person like you actually had the name of everyone in the past, it is really surprising and incomprehensible!"

"Are you furious? Are you angry?" Leqi laughed loudly, "You have a guilty conscience, but no matter how angry and unwilling you are, you can't change the third book. Do you know why? Because Chen Zhi can't write it. come out!"

Leqi didn't know whether Chen Zhi could write it, but he knew very well that if he could take this opportunity today to make a fool of Chen Zhi and ruin his and Tongdian's reputation, then no matter how big this book was, How rare and valuable it is is a matter for future generations to comment on. At least in contemporary times, Chen Zhi's reputation will suffer a great loss. In this way, he will not have to worry about being infamy for thousands of years.

It was just this kind of pretense that Wang Yan couldn't stand. The old man coughed and warned: "When you are happy, stop it in moderation. You know full well how talented Shouyi is, so why bother to say such words."

Leqi's heart trembled, but before he could nod to accept the instruction, King Jiangdu said: "What the prince said makes sense. Leqi, you must have proof when you speak. If you don't have proof, I can't listen to your guessing here." !”

Leqi was shocked, but after savoring it carefully, he understood and calmed down again, saying: "Prince, Prince, I am not just talking nonsense, but I have proof, and the proof is still right in front of me... "As he spoke, he pointed at Chen Zhi's two books, "These two books did not come out of thin air. Zhao Jun said that Chen Zhi sent someone to send them to him. Please think about it, if it was really just a gift. Let him take a look, who should be responsible for the transmission? It must be an ordinary servant, but in reality?" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the crowd.

Hearing this, many people were moved in their hearts. When they followed Leqi's finger and looked over there, they saw Zhao Xing with a stunned look on his face and Su Liao who was talking to someone.

When Zhao Yuan saw this action, he immediately knew something was wrong.

Leqi narrowed his eyes when he saw Su Liao talking to someone. He recognized this person and knew he was Chen Zhi's confidant, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "The person who is talking to someone is named Su Liao." , I think many of you know him. This person had appeared on behalf of Chen Zhi many times during the Luoyang Commentary. He was originally Chen Zhi's staff, but now he is Chen Zhi's confidant. How can Chen Zhi's confidant? Will you appear in Luoyang at this time?"

Everyone's expressions changed, and there was silence in the audience.

"Obviously, these two books were sent by Su Liao," Leqi nodded with satisfaction, but then frowned and saw the man who was talking to Su Liao handed something to him, and then Su Liao He showed a look of surprise, but continued, "I just sent a letter to Zhao Jun for review. Do you need to send your confidants? As you all know, Chen Taishou is newly appointed, and it is exactly when he needs a right-hand man. He doesn't There is only one reason why you keep your confidants by your side, but send them here, and that is because you have a big plan in Luoyang. You don’t need me to explain what the purpose is, right?"

When he said this, his face was full of pride, and everyone was lost in thought. Even the people in the audience were surprised and vaguely understood.

Could it be that Chen Jianzheng has some plan to deliberately suppress Buddhist criticism?
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but said: "You're really good at drawing conclusions!"

"Isn't this far-fetched? In fact, the answer is already in the book!" Leqi pointed to the general outline in the distance, "I just took a quick look and clearly saw that there was a lot written in the book, and there was even a Buddhist theory. Isn't it just a fool's errand? If he, Chen Zhizhen, could write the general outline, then he would write out the so-called treatise on Buddhism and let everyone comment on it to see if it can be compared with several great masters today! But where is this volume? I'm afraid. No, right?"
