Section 0719 On the Former Dynasty
The next day, many of the people who delivered the Chang'an newspaper came to buy the newspaper before they went out.
What everyone wants to see is what the powerful and fast boat on the Jingyang Wharf is, and such a thing will definitely be written in Chang'an Daily.
However, today's Chang'an newspaper opens with eight big characters.
Sin is in the present generation, and merit is in the future.
The people and officials of Chang'an City were instantly stunned.
Talking about any topic of the former Sui is taboo in the hearts of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, after all, the Tang Dynasty is the world taken from the former Sui Dynasty, so they basically keep silent about the former dynasty.
There is an old saying that the history of the previous dynasty was written by the later dynasty.
Han wrote the history of Qin, and Jin wrote the history of Han.
At present, the history of the Sui is also written by the Tang Dynasty.
This rhythm is not quite right, it should be said that it seems to be the right topic to talk about the fast boats running on the Najing River.
In other words, although the content published in the Chang'an newspaper does not match the expectations of the people in Chang'an, the sales volume is amazing, and after being printed once at noon, it is still sold out.
Sin is in the present generation, and merit is in the future.
The article was signed by Sanyuan Yanagimu, and the people naturally believed it, but the important ministers of the court basically did not believe it.
It's the New Year's vacation right now, and if there is no particularly urgent matter, the courtiers won't enter the palace at will.
In the box of a theater garden in Dongshi, Cui Dunli put down the newspaper: "I understand, this is going to be prepared to overhaul the canal." ”
"Not necessarily!" Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was not a guest invited by Cui Dunli, but he did not book a box, and it happened that Cui Dunli had a place here, and after a few polite words, Tang Jian sat in Cui Dunli's box.
"Definitely!" After Cui Dunli confidently finished speaking, he explained: "Without a canal, is it useful to ask for a boat?" ”
"Although that's true, there's no need to speak for Qiansui." Tang Jian still didn't believe it.
Cui Dunli said: "When did we, the willow horses, speak for ourselves. ”
At this point, Tang Jian was silent and no longer spoken.
That's right, Liu Mu has never opened his mouth for himself, and he has never publicly commented on anything, and when he really has something, Liu Mu will do it first and say it later.
Tang Jian shook his head, he knew that Cui Dunli was thinking simply.
If this is Liu Mu speaking out on behalf of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, then the meaning of this is definitely not simple.
Don't guess.
Cui Dunli is different from Tang Jian, Cui Dunli is from a famous family, a very orthodox and talented official. Tang Jian is different, he has been in the Qin Wangfu for many years, and he is one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Wangfu, and he knows Li Shimin.
Chang'an Daily was about those eight words for three consecutive days.
After Liu Mu posted an article, the poor scholars of Chang'an City also wrote articles after Liu Mu paid a very generous pen fee, Liu Mu thought that he was not talented, but there were really talented people who picked out some and printed them in Chang'an Daily.
The strange boat in the Jing River never appeared a word.
Some people can't sit still and want to find willows.
But the willow was nowhere to be seen.
Jingyang, Qin Qiong's Zhuangzi in Jingyang, here Qin Qiong herself may not come over more than twice a year, everything is taken care of by Liu Mu's people.
There were more people than last time, and this time there were more than forty monks left in the Zhuangzi.
"Have you finished reading the story?" Liu Mu set up a wine banquet, which looked like a big fish, big meat, and a big bowl of wine.
All the monks silently chanted the scriptures and ignored the willow wood.
Liu Mu sat at the table: "There is a way that wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha is in my heart." ”
"Don't bully the poor monks." A well-known monk in Chang'an City spoke.
Liu Mu laughed: "Is there really meat?" This is made of tofu, a vegan feast. If you don't believe me, you can take a closer look to see if I'm lying to you, there's no flesh here. ”
At that moment, a monk approached, and after carefully examining the plate with chopsticks, he believed Liu Mu's words.
These monks were brought over by Qin Qiong, and they were really hungry for some hours, and some of them didn't eat yesterday.
The monks were indeed vegetarians before they were seated.
Liu Mu sat aside and continued: "It is said that there was an old monk and a little monk who went down the mountain to make a relationship, passing by a river, and there was a woman who could not cross the river left and right, and then the old monk picked up the woman and crossed the river. ”
One of the monks turned his head to look at the willow wood, and many of them stopped their chopsticks, although they didn't turn their heads.
Liu Mu continued: "After crossing the river, the old monk continued to walk with the little monk. When he was about to arrive in the town, the little monk asked the old monk why the master still crossed the river with a female benefactor if there was a precept in the precepts. So this old monk, is it considered to be a broken vow? ”
The monks were thinking, and Liu Mu also picked up the chopsticks: "Eating, let's also chat, don't stop, don't stop." ”
The monks seemed to feel that Liu Mu was using a topic to ease the atmosphere, so they spoke one after another.
The thin old monk who Liu Mu had seen a few days ago looked at the monks who were talking around him, looked at Liu Mu again, and after saying a Buddha name, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
Some people say that the old monk is right, he is just helping others. Some people also say that the old monk is wrong......
Liu Mu was not in a hurry, and when these monks had almost eaten, he got up and asked, "Master Daozhen, you seem to have thought of a different answer?" ”
"It's a trap."
"Indeed!" Yanagi generously admitted.
The monks were surprised, but they still didn't understand.
The thin old monk Daozhen said: "The old monk has let go, but the little monk has not let go. Just like this dish, vegetarian food has the shape of a meat dish, what is breaking the vows and what is not breaking the vows, I really can't tell. Or Lord Liu's sentence that the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, so that he can understand it better. ”
Liu Mu clapped his hands gently: "It's really a master." ”
"Don't dare to be!"
"I ask you, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, I don't understand your Buddhist scriptures, I just know that those who do evil things will be punished in this life. Some people enter the Buddha's door, but they think that they can resolve the evil deeds they have done. What is the difference between the temple doing this and doing evil, not killing, not eating meat, in my opinion it is a joke, taking money from the wicked for sesame oil, it is more hateful than killing pigs and eating meat, the temple is killing people and taking money. Refute me and prove me wrong. ”
Xuanzang's teacher, Ciku, is already on a parade, and the top monks here are really one.
Daozhen said: "When Buddhism was first introduced to the Central Plains, the temple was still self-cultivated. Huayuan is not to feed the temple with other people's things, but was originally used to seal scriptures and make statues to relieve hardship. Blame it, it's a greedy word! ”
"That's good, then I'll be practical."
Liu Mu took out a formal Tang official document from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table.
All the monks here are not only from Chang'an, but also a few wandering monks from afar, since Liu Mu is speaking to the Tao, this official document is naturally sent to the hands of the Tao.
