Chapter 74: Fan Yun died young
"Your Majesty, there are no regrets. Weichen can assist His Majesty in establishing the Liang Kingdom, and he will die without regrets. Fan Yun cried.
"Fan Yun. If you go, Who can be trusted? Xiao Yan asked.
"Shen Yue. The person I can't worry about the most is my cousin Fan Zhen. He did not believe in ghosts and gods. If this continues, the officials of the court are afraid that they will alienate him. I hope Your Majesty can save Fan Jin. Fan Zhen is not for himself. His purpose was to ensure that the people would have enough food and clothing. Fan Yun said.
"Actually, I also know that Fan Zhen is a maverick. But he also wanted the court to prosper. He was a loyal servant. However, the way is wrong. Xiao Yan said.
Xiao Yan remembered Fan Jin:
At this time, Xiao Yan was still surveying geography in Yongzhou.
"Xiao Thorn History, this is Wei State's "Water Jing Note". Fan Yun brought a book.
"This is the book of the Wei State. How did you get it? Xiao Yan asked.
"I am friends with many pirate dealers in Wei. For example, that Fan Jin. He was very fond of piracy. Fan Yun said with a smile.
"Fan Jin. I know that he preached "atheism", which is somewhat similar to Zu Chongzhi in the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty. They all think the Dharma is. However, although we do not believe in Buddhism very much, we also have some research on Buddhism. Fan Zhen is also persona non grata. Xiao Yan was a little resentful.
"Not necessarily. Fan Zhen is actually kind. He had been an envoy to Wei and found that the Wei emperors were very fond of Buddhism. The people of Wei now have no combat strength before entering the Central Plains. Fan Zhen didn't mean it," Fan Yun said sadly.
"Fan Yun, your cousin is also amazing. He wasn't just against the Buddha. I don't even think that immortals exist. Such a deviant person. Even His Majesty wouldn't dare to use it! Xiao Yan said angrily.
"People in the world also need spiritual sustenance. These are troubled times. The Wei State invaded our Qi State in three days. The world is in turmoil. The common people also have no spiritual sustenance and need some faith. Fan Zhen only saw the disadvantages of Buddhism, but did not see its benefits. Fan Yun said with a smile.
"I have been doing Yongzhou Thorn History these days, and I have always been polite to people of Buddhism. Confucianism has always been tolerant of all rivers, and it may not be impossible to live in harmony with Buddhism and Taoism. My recently married cousin, Ding Lingguang, is also a Buddhist. She is kind-hearted and has always loved to help the poor. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Fan Yun thought to himself: Xiao Shuda seems to be very yearning for Buddhism. If only he could devote himself to the Buddha. Our Yongzhou is a paradise on earth.
"yes. Buddhism can also benefit all living beings. Fan Yun said with a smile.
He thought to himself: Fan Zhen doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Such people have no reverence.
Not reusable.
However, in order to comfort Fan Yun, Xiao Yan still said: "I will reuse Fan Jin." ”
Fan Yun said: "Your Majesty, Weichen can rest assured that he can go." Fan Zhen is a genius in the world. If he can be a scholar, the Liang Kingdom will definitely prosper. ”
Xiao Yan thought to himself: If you add an official to a person like Fan Jin. I'm afraid that our Liang Kingdom is going to be in chaos. There are several times more Buddhists in our Liang Kingdom than in the Jin Dynasty.
If Fan's proposition is implemented. Our Liang country is going to be in chaos.
Fan Yun then closed his eyes peacefully.
Xiao Yan touched his forehead and cried: "Aiqing, you have Zhang Liang and Xiao He's strategy." Why did you go so early? ”
Xiao Yan began to cry.
Let's talk about Fan Yun talking about Fan Jin.
He was still idle in his hometown at this time.
He often preached his atheism to the people.
"Don't be stupid. Taoism. Buddhism is all about deception. You give so much money to monks and Taoist priests. What did they give you? Fan Zhen scolded.
"Aren't you afraid of going to hell? Mr. Fan. Aunt Li scolded.
"Don't be afraid. Because there is no hell at all. That's all a lie. Fan Zhen scolded.
"Then why can people be mothers. Am I going to marry a poor ghost? Aunt Li said.
"That's because you don't come from a high background. Origins determine your room for development. Nowadays, this is the case in the Southern Dynasties, and the children of the nobility have a future. The aristocracy preaches the Dharma in order to oppress you. so that you can't resist. Fan Zhen said.
At this moment, Chen Qingzhi arrived with a team of people.
He saw more than fifty people gathered in Fan Jin's house and asked, "Don't you know that the law of the Liang State prohibits the gathering of people?" ”
"No, I don't. My lord. I didn't gather a crowd. I am giving to the poor. Fan Zhen quibbled.
Chen Qingzhi snatched the manuscript on Fan Jin's desk and asked, "What is this?" "The Theory of Divine Annihilation". Mr. Fan, you don't do a good job of educating the villagers, but you are propagating heresy and heresy. What are your intentions? Come with me to Your Majesty. He admires your talent very much. Tell him about your high arguments. ”
Aunt Li shouted: "My lord, don't take Mr. Fan Zhen with you." He's a good guy. His Majesty must have misunderstood him. He just doesn't like Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. Nothing is a problem. ”
"Really? Now His Majesty forbids the gathering of people. Feel relieved. His Majesty will not kill him, at most he will educate him. Chen Qingzhi said.
Fan Zhen thought to himself: Your Majesty will not kill me. He is the most people, and I am in Jiankang City for the elderly.
At the same time, Xiao Yan looked at the folk rumor "The Theory of Divine Annihilation" and thought: Fan Zhen is indeed talented.
He remembered the first time he met Fan Jin:
Xiao Yan set off for Jiankang City early.
Along the way, Xiao Yan saw that the people along the way were unclothed.
He saw many people holding broken rice bowls, and cried out pitifully and weakly, "My lord, give me some!" ”
Xiao Yan watched as the people dragged their patched clothes and cried in the cold wind.
He thought to himself: Why is the world of our Qi country so depressed?
Does Xiao Baojuan have no ability to govern the country at all?
It seems that I need to persuade Your Majesty well. Your Majesty can't be so confused anymore.
After Xiao Yan arrived in Jiankang, he lived in the post house.
He heard someone next door shouting, "God is a vain thing." Why do the dignitaries spend their money on God and ignore the lives of the people? ”
Xiao Yan thought to himself: Who is this person? Dare to insult the gods. Isn't he afraid of retribution?
Who is he?
I must see it.
Xiao Yan heard the sound and walked to the opposite room.
He saw a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old, and his face was a little haggard.
However, his eyes are very sharp, as if he can see through everything.
"Do we know each other?" The middle-aged man wondered.
"We don't know each other. However, I heard your remarks next door and thought you were a talent. Dare to ask your honorable name? Xiao Yan asked.
"I'm Fan Jin." Fan Zhen said with a smile.
Xiao Yan was suddenly startled, and thought: It turns out that you are Fan Jin. I heard my buddy Xiao Ziliang mention this person. He advocates: atheism. Siu Ziliang is a Buddhist. So, they always quarrel.
"It turns out that you are Fan Jin. I've heard of you for a long time. excellency
Say.
