Chapter 1148: Buddhist Disputes

On the morning of the second day, Princess Tang Yuewan of Qin rushed to Ganzhou City. Yunxi herself did not come forward, and asked Xu Miaojin to take Zhiqi and other princes and county lords to greet her.

As soon as Tang Yuewan saw Zhiwen, she hugged him and cried. A few days ago, when she learned that Ganzhou City was in danger, she almost fainted, and she was about to rush to Ganzhou City day and night, but her body couldn't stand it and could only come slowly. When I saw Zhiqi at this time, worry and fear came up together, and I couldn't help crying.

It took a long time for her to restrain her mind and talk to Xu Miaojin normally.

Song Ying hurriedly came out to plead guilty. He is responsible for protecting Zhiqi and the others, but he has put them in deep danger, although this crisis has little to do with him, he still has to be punished. However, Tang Yuewan was not unconscious, of course she knew that it was none of his business, so she let him stand up with a gentle sooth.

One day later, Tang Yuewan proposed to leave Ganzhou City and return to Yiwu, but Zhu Shu couldn't stay, so he could only go with him.

Since Tang Yuewan left with the children, Yun Xi didn't have the heart to stay here, and left here after rewarding the heroes of the danger of Ganzhou City with Zhu Ji.

Before leaving, he instructed Zhu Ji: "I originally let Lan Qing sit in Xi'an and be responsible for the return of the soldiers. Since I want to send troops to suppress the bandits, I will let him temporarily sit in Ganzhou, which is not only responsible for the return of the soldiers to the east, but also assists you in exterminating the bandits. ”

"Yes, official." He agreed.

A few days later, on the tenth day of the ninth month, Yun Xi and Zhu Ji finished the Double Ninth Festival together, set off from Ganzhou City, and returned to the capital while touring the mountains and rivers. Of course, political affairs have not been completely forgotten.

……

……

"Your Majesty, Qinghai Lake is also known as Cuowenbu, which means "blue sea" in Tibetan. With a radius of nearly 1,000 miles and abundant water and grass, this lake is one of the few places in the Qinghai-Tibet region suitable for large grazing. ”

"The scenery of this place is also very beautiful, now it is slightly worse, Tang Yuewan, the climate is suitable in August, it is the most beautiful time of Qinghai Lake, countless flowers around the lake are blooming one after another, the blue periphery of the blue waves is scattered with golden bright yellow, the wildflowers of the alpine pastures are colorful, like silk, countless cattle and sheep are fat and strong, dotted in the meantime."

At this time, Yunxi and others were sitting on a boat, and the boat was drifting on Qinghai Lake. Yun Xi stood near the string, looking at the beautiful scenery of Qinghai Lake while listening to Tsongkhapa's explanation.

After he finished speaking, Yun Xi turned his head and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the first lake in Qinghai-Tibet, the scenery is indeed beautiful, according to me, it is not worse than several famous lakes in the Central Plains." ”

"I heard that Lama Tsongkhapa was born around here? It's a good thing to be able to see such a beautiful scenery from a young age. ”

"Your Majesty, although the place where the poor monk was born is not far from Qinghai Lake, it is not too close. There is a river called Huangshui to the east of this lake, which flows into the Yellow River. There is a place named Huangzhong along the coast of Huangshui, and Chen was born in Huangzhong. Although it is close to Qinghai Lake, it is already 400 miles away. The poor monk had never been to Qinghai Lake before going to Uszang to seek the Dharma. ”

"However, after that, the poor monk traveled back and forth between Qinghai and Wusizang several times, and every time he passed by Qinghai Lake, he would stay for a few days, and he was familiar with this place." Tsongkhapa smiled faintly.

The people spoke a little more, and the ship was docked. Therefore, it was getting late, Yun Xi turned his head and said, "It's the middle of the unitary time, and it's not too early, so let's go back and rest in peace." ”

Then he said to Tsongkhapa alone, "Now that you have seen Qinghai Lake and have taken a boat ride around the lake, let's go to other places tomorrow." ”

"Is there a Tibetan Buddhist temple around here? Although I have seen it in Ganzhou and other places, it is a temple in Han after all, and it may be different in the past few decades. ”

"Your Majesty, although decades have passed, the style of the temple has not changed much, only slightly different. Your Majesty can also see it, but there are no big temples near Qinghai Lake, all of them are small temples, and it is difficult to reflect the difference between the newly built temples. Tsongkhapa said.

"So, what is the temple around here that is more famous?" Yun Xi asked again.

"If you talk about the temple near here, it is only Xia Qiong Temple, which is five hundred miles east of this place."

Tsongkhapa said: "Xiaqiong Monastery was built in the ninth year of the Mengyuan Dynasty (1349 AD) and is the largest monastery near Qinghai. The founder is the master of Qujie Dunzhu Rinchen, who has studied in Nie Tang, Natang and other temples, and served as the Dharma platform of Lintao Temple, and then built to Hualong and built Xia Qiong Temple. ”

"When the poor monk became a monk at the beginning of his childhood, he was also in Xia Qiong Monastery. Master Qujie Dhondrup Rinchen was the enlightened teacher of the poor monks. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the place where the master was a young monk, so I need to take a look. Tomorrow, we will set off for Xia Qiong Temple to have a look. Yun Xi smiled.

Tsongkhapa was about to say something more when someone suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, both Central Plains Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism are branches of Buddhism. Although Tibetan Buddhism is all Mahayana Buddhism, our Central Plains Buddhism has also become Mahayana Buddhism since Master Xuanzang returned from his westward journey to obtain the true scriptures during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. Since they are all Mahayana Buddhism, there is no difference, and there is nothing worth seeing in this Xia Qiong Temple. ”

Yun Xi didn't even need to distinguish the voice to know who was speaking. At this time and now, the only person who dares to speak like this to him, the Ming Emperor, is Master Fangzheng, the presiding officer of Shaolin Temple.

Yes, the Shaolin Temple presiding master, Master Fangzheng. After Yoon-hee set off for the east, he also set off to return. He originally wanted to march with His Majesty, but Yun Xi hurried over after receiving the news that Ganzhou City was in danger, and Fang Zheng was too old to rush like this, so he fell behind. However, after Yun Xi stayed in Ganzhou City for a few days, he also caught up and continued to return with Yun Xi on the tenth day of the ninth month.

As he spoke, he first glanced at Tsongkhapa hostilely, then turned his head and looked at Yun Xi with burning eyes.

Yun Xi understood the meaning of his gaze, and even more understood the meaning of his words. Tsongkhapa led the troops to relieve the danger of Ganzhou City, and it can be said that he saved the lives of Princess Su, Xu Miaojin and Zhu Yunzhi, and made great contributions.

This had little effect on the middle and lower class monks, and even if Tibetan Buddhism replaced Chinese Buddhism, it would not be possible to abandon all of them, and most of them would be co-opted unless someone was desperate and unwilling to do so.

But for them, the upper monks, it was different. When the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, there was a period of Tibetan Buddhism that flourished, and at that time, the Shaolin Temple was incomparable even if it was the largest temple in the Central Plains, and life was very difficult. In order to avoid that, Fang Zheng felt that he had to fight Tsongkhapa resolutely.

And Yun Xi also knew that the reason why he dared to speak like this in front of him was because of his 'miracles' in Yiwu. Under the witness of countless people, several lightning bolts fell in a row and could not die, such amazing deeds made him not only famous, and even regarded by some people as the reincarnation of the Buddha or Bodhisattva, since the second day of August, there was an endless stream of people to visit him in the temple, countless generals begged him to pray to the Buddha to bless himself, and donated a lot of money, until Fang Zheng refused to accept cash, let them go back and send the money to the Shaolin Temple.

All the people of Yiwu believe in Buddhism, and countless people rush to invite a Buddha statue that has been opened to the light at home.

Therefore, Fang Zheng himself was also a little inflated to dare to speak to Yun Xi like this, even if it was only when it came to the topic of Tibetan Buddhism.

Yun Xi smiled at Fang Zheng, and said slowly: "Master Fangzheng, the so-called simultaneous listening is clear and partial listening, Tibetan Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism are both Buddhism, and they have both gone through thousands of years of development, and each has its own strengths. As a master of Buddhism, we should learn from the strengths of other schools and eliminate the shortcomings of our own school. ”

"Jiang Xin, the host of Fayuan Temple in Baoji, Shaanxi, I used to talk to him when I went to the northwest, although I don't know much about Buddhism, but Jiang Xin thinks deeply of my concept. I wonder what Master Founder thinks? ”

Fang Zheng knew that he was not satisfied when he heard Yun Xi's tone, but he had to fight for the place he should fight, and he was about to ponder some tactful words, when he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He forced himself to calm down before he said, "Your Majesty is right, it is the poor monk who is wrong. ”

"In that case, Master Fangzheng will follow me to Xia Qiong Temple tomorrow to have a look." Yun Xi said again. Fang Zheng hurriedly nodded in agreement.

When he had said this, the people dispersed. Yun Xi also set off to return to Xingzai. Yun Zhi leaned up very curiously and asked, "Brother Huang, why has the presiding officer of Shaolin Temple been against Tsongkhapa all the way, and even openly in front of Brother Huang?" ”

"But since he did this, why did the Shicai Emperor suddenly admit his mistake and stop talking after mentioning Jiang Xin, the host of the Fayuan Temple in Baoji, Shaanxi?"

"Miaojin, what do you think?" Yun Xi turned his head and asked Xu Miaojin.

"Husband, Sister Yun Zhi, the reason why Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple has been working against Master Tsongkhapa is probably because he is afraid that His Majesty will replace Buddhism in the Central Plains with Tibetan Buddhism. Both of these are Buddhism and can be substituted. ”

"But the royal brother has no intention of doing this? Tibetan Buddhism, the imperial brother only wants to spread to the Mongolian steppe, not to the Han land. Yun Zhi said.

"But Master Fang Zheng doesn't know. He only knew that my husband had been a believer in Lama Tsongkhapa during these days, and I had believed in Tibetan Buddhism, so I was very worried. ”

"I see. But why did he later admit his mistake after the imperial brother mentioned Jiang Xin of the Fayuan Temple in Baoji, Shaanxi? My sister remembers that it wasn't like that yesterday. ”

"This sister-in-law doesn't know." Xu Miaojin said this and turned his head to look at Yun Xi.
