"Young master, there is news from Tubo that master farIn has passed away! Reincarnate and become a spirit boy." Mo San reported in the Mo mansion.
Mo San is in charge of Mo magazine on weekdays. He is the most well-informed. Once there is news about all schools of thought, he will come to report it immediately.
"Master farIn passed away!"
Merton couldn't help sighing when he heard the news.
Master Falin, known as the Dharma protector, is well deserved. He has devoted himself to Buddhism all his life. He has repeatedly resisted and killed Buddha. This time, during his trip to Tibet, master Falin did not hesitate to pave the way for Buddhism with his own flesh and blood.
According to Merton's prediction, the Buddhist family will slowly figure out the reincarnation of Lingtong. However, he did not expect that master farIn would be so radical and sacrifice himself to forcibly promote the influence of Buddhism in Tubo.
"Master farIn is admirable for sacrificing his life for a doctrine!" Merton sighed in his heart. Buddhism is a foreign doctrine that can be carried forward in the Tang Dynasty. It is promoted by people who have dedicated themselves to Buddhism like master farIn. Buddhism really has a bad side, but there are also a large number of people who can be sung and respected.
"Young master, in addition to the rumors of the reincarnation and rebirth of master Falin in Chang'an City, there are also rumors in Chang'an city that master Xuanzang, who traveled westward to seek Buddha, was the reincarnation of Jinchanzi, the second disciple of the Buddha, and the momentum of the Buddhist family has soared." Mo San reported.
"The reincarnation of the Golden Cicada! The Buddhists want to blossom in Tubo and Datang!" Merton said with the same eyebrows. He didn't expect that the Buddhists had begun to build momentum for Xuanzang before he came back. It can be imagined that once Xuanzang returned, the Buddhists would surely be at the height of the sun with his influence on the West.
"Young master, if you want to expose this matter in Mo magazine, Confucianism magazine will not sit idly by and watch this behavior of Buddhism, but will follow up." Mo San asked. The theory of reincarnation of Buddhism can't stand scrutiny. As long as Mo magazine and Confucianism magazine follow up, it will certainly humiliate Buddhism.
Merton shook his head and said, "forget it! Today's Datang is not the Datang of the past. The theory of reincarnation of Buddhism may be feasible in Tubo, but it doesn't work at all in Datang."
Today's Tang Dynasty is a hundred schools of thought, a hundred schools of thought are rising, and all kinds of knowledge are exploding. The theory of reincarnation of Buddhism can not stand scrutiny and is not a worry at all.
"In addition to Buddhism, Confucianism has also made great moves. Kong's sacrifice of wine" justice in the five classics "has been published and distributed all over the world. Please take a look." Mo San presented a thick book with both hands.
"Justice of the five classics" Merton was surprised. Kong Yingda's justice of the five classics was corrected several times and finally began to be published.
When Merton opened the title page, he saw that the printed font was movable type printing, the font was clear and neat, and punctuation was used on a large scale to determine all the controversial contents of the five classics justice in the past dynasties.
It is said that there are a thousand Confucius in the hearts of a thousand people. In addition, the four books and five classics have a lot of disputes over sentence breaks, so there are many schools. If others determine the contents of the disputes of the five classics, they will certainly provoke people's dissatisfaction. Kong Yingda is not only the direct descendant of Kong Sheng, but also a contemporary great Confucian. He is the most righteous.
"Master, this is to unify the Confucian factions with the five classics of justice. Unfortunately, master's idea is very beautiful and the reality is very skinny. I'm afraid it's not so easy for the Confucian factions to obey!" Merton shook his head and smiled.
Up to now, various schools of Confucianism have emerged one after another. It may be possible if Confucius is alive, but Kong Yingda is only the 31st grandson of Kong Sheng, which is far from qualified.
Moreover, a single flower is not spring. A hundred schools of thought contend in spring. A hundred schools of thought contend not only among a hundred schools of thought, but also among a hundred schools of thought. Perhaps a hundred schools of thought contend in order to maintain vigorous vitality. Take the Mohist School for example, even if Merton had several opportunities to unify the Mohist school, he did not hesitate to give up, which made the three veins of Mohist school go hand in hand and greatly increased the trend of Mohist revival.
However, Kong Yingda's eagerness for quick success and instant benefit has something to do with Merton. The development momentum of Mohism is at its peak, and the other 100 schools are also making progress. Only Confucianism, which has reached the peak, can make a contribution. Kong Yingda's use of the five classics justice to unify Confucianism has been stimulated by Mohism and hundreds of schools.
"Young master, Confucian classics are emerging one after another. Kong Yingda has just published the five classics of justice to become famous for Confucianism, but my Mohist school still has only the classic book of the Mohist school, which is somewhat weak. Small and the Mohist masters mean that the young master should also publish a book to boost the prestige of my Mohist school." Mo Sanyi looks forward to Merton, and no one can doubt the young master's knowledge, However, the knowledge flowing out of the young master's hands is endless, but it is always scattered and not a family's word. If the young master arranges the knowledge in his heart into a book, he believes that it must be a classic work no inferior to the Mojing. Today, there is only one Mojing thousands of years ago and half of Mozi in Merton's mouth, which is not as good as Confucianism.
"It was Chinese cabbage that you published a book at that time! If you want to publish a book, you can publish a book?" Merton glared. He didn't know how many years and words it would take to write a book. Journey to the West lasted eight years, the dream of Red Mansions took ten years, the romance of the Three Kingdoms took 14 years, and the compendium of Materia Medica took 27 years. Merton shivered when he thought about it. If he publishes a book, I'm afraid it will be in the future. Now he doesn't have the patience and takes many years to write a book.
Mo San couldn't help but curl his lips. When the young master was writing novels, he didn't see that he was tired. Although Merton couldn't expect to publish a book now, he didn't give up. Among the pre-Qin scholars, Confucius didn't publish a book when he was alive, but only published a book after being sorted out by later disciples. If he started collecting the young master's comments from now on, After finishing later, it is not a masterpiece.
If Merton knows that Mo San has given up on him now, after his death, he will prepare for the things behind him, and one Buddha will be angry and two Buddhas will ascend to heaven.
"There's another thing to let the young master know. Hou Shangshu's western expedition army has triumphed and will arrive in Chang'an City in a few days." Mo San reminded him.
"Hou Junji is back?" Merton was stunned.
The soldiers of the Western Tang Dynasty destroyed a country with only a few casualties, which made the military family's reputation soar. Before that, the situation in the western regions was unstable and needed a large army. Now the land in the western regions has been snowed and cannot use troops. The situation in Gaochang has been stable. Hou Junji returned triumphantly with the success of destroying the country.
He believed that the western expedition was the peak of strategists and his achievements. With the power of destroying the country in this war, he could certainly become the military God of the Tang Dynasty at one fell swoop, no inferior to the predecessors of strategists in previous dynasties. However, Hou Junji did not know that a huge storm was sweeping the whole western expedition, making him fall directly from the peak to the lowest valley.
