Emperor Qin

Chapter 193 3 times

Of course, it is impossible for a minister to dare to expose Emperor Qin on such a trivial matter, so Yan Jiang didn't ask at all.

Feeling displeased, he went to find Gunara again.

When he found the target, the Buddha sat quietly in the courtyard, stroking the jade pendant engraved with Buddha's gatha, the broken sunlight sprinkled from the leaves, and reflected the mottled light and shadow on his pale cheeks, that kind of beauty and tranquility, as if making time stand still for him .

Hearing Yan Zi's footsteps, Goo Nara smiled lightly and raised his head to "look" with him.

"Every time I see you, I feel that you are more detached," Yan Jiang sighed, "The Bodhisattva is not far away."

"How can I put it into words, the appearance of self, the appearance of human beings, the appearance of living beings, and the appearance of life, those who do not have these four appearances are Bodhisattvas," Gu Naluo said with a light smile, "Between life and death, those who want to live and are afraid of death, I have my appearance; If you have love and hate in your heart, you will never be separated from each other; let alone the appearance of sentient beings, you will be far away from each other."

Yan Jiang also tried to make up for Buddhism in the Maurya Dynasty. Fortunately, their classics are the same as those of the pre-Qin period. They are all simple, profound and complex, and can be explained in countless versions, so they discussed Buddhism with him.

The key point is the Buddhist gatha.

Buddha's gatha, also known as Huixiang gatha, is a summary after preaching the Dharma, which is almost equivalent to "What is the purpose of my preaching?"

The few Buddhist verses Yan Jiang said are very philosophical and easy to understand, and they are very useful for Gu Naluo, who is translating the scriptures.

Gu Naluo also asked how "Anuttara Sanyak Sanbodhi" should be translated into Qin language. After copying the Diamond Sutra, Yan Jiang, who knew the answer, directly gave a "Supreme Righteous Enlightenment".

So Gu Naluo couldn't help laughing, and mentioned that the eminent monk Emperor must hope that Yan Zi would become a monk to preach. At that time, the emperor said that Yan Zi could prove the status of Arhat if he only understood a little, and if he studied deeply, he would definitely be able to "" "Anuttara Sanyak San Bodhi", even the tiger beside Yan Zi is endowed with the heart of Buddha in his eyes.

Yan Jiang shook his head, unwilling to recall the difficult days when he was immersed in Buddhism and studied.

So Gu Naluo asked when it was time to spread Buddhism to the east.

Yan Jiang is sure that it will take a hundred years.

"So that's how it is," Gu Naluo nodded indifferently, folded his palms together and muttered lightly, "My Buddha is merciful."

Yan Jiang sighed softly. Thousands of years after Buddhism was spread to the east, it has become an indispensable part of oriental culture. It has the effect of enlightening all living beings, calming hostility, and has rich philosophy of life.

However, as long as there are people's hearts, there will be right and wrong. No matter how good a religion is, it cannot resist changes in people's hearts.

Under the circumstances that their own culture cannot resist, the religion will gradually seize the right to rule, and in turn annex the original civilization. Now there are hundreds of furniture in Qin State, but it is a pity that all the schools are now taking the high-level route. In the face of Buddhism that is close to the people, It's really hard to say the outcome.

Therefore, Yan Jiang must at least let the state of Qin set the procedure for selecting scholars, and support hundreds of schools before he dares to introduce Buddhism. Otherwise, if he becomes a kind of Buddhism that integrates politics and religion, he will be guilty of a great crime.

Of course, this possibility is actually very small. When Buddhism was introduced to the Three Kingdoms in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism was on the rise, and the rulers really liked to play a balance between the two religions. Whichever side was stronger would suppress the other side, especially Taoism. The big killer "alchemy" has pitted many emperors who were looking forward to longevity.

The two chatted about Buddhism for a while, and Yan Zi got up to leave.

Gu Naluo didn't hold back either, he just explained that he would leave for the Northland on the following day, and hoped that there would be a chance in the future, and they could meet again.

Yan Jiang felt that there should still be a chance, so he said yes.

……

He felt that His Majesty should have given His Majesty a sense of crisis, so he went back to the palace to look for the Emperor Qin, thinking about how Ah Zheng would look when he found out about this, and then secretly thinking about what routine he would play at night—but he was in vain , not in the Golden Palace... Bah, I saw Emperor Qin in Daming Palace.

After some inquiries, I found out that Emperor Qin drove to the Shaofu while he was away.

So I searched out of curiosity.

Qin Huang, Xiang Liyun and others were found in Taofang.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw hundreds of pottery figurines of Qin soldiers with different expressions and postures.

Xiangli Yunzheng introduced to the king in detail: "The eyes, ears, nose, and lips of this figurine are all fired in different molds, and then spliced ​​together, so the pottery figurines are different, and they will surely form an army for your majesty. I accompany you into the mausoleum, as for the improvement of the main tomb, the coffin has been remade, but I don’t know whether its patterns should be decorated with dragons and phoenixes, or other decorations?”

This is a very troublesome question. His Majesty Qin Huang fell into deep thought for a while, what kind of system does A Jiang like to make a coffin after death?

"I think it's good to burn, and I don't want to squeeze in with you." Yan Jiang interjected coolly when he heard this.

"Why did you say that?" Qin Huang immediately changed the topic when he said "burning words", "The tomb of Mount Li is so big that it has never been seen in ancient and modern times... Besides, doesn't A Jiang really like my body?"

"It's just like that if you like it for a long time." Yan Jiang snorted softly.

Qin Huang saw that he was not in agreement, so he pulled A Jiang up to let him admire the soldiers, chariots and horses buried with him after his death, and waited for A Jiang to persuade him to spend less on the tomb.

Yan Jiang's heart was beating more and more. Ah Zheng cared so much about his mausoleum, did he really have some kind of disease, belittle life and death, and planned to salt fish in advance?

So instead of persuading him, Ah Jiang looked at these pottery figurines with admiration, and personally colored a soldier, and at the same time disliked the bright colors of a demonstrative pottery figurine by Xiang Liyun.

Qin Huang was left out for a long time, slightly displeased, and just about to speak, he heard Yan Zi and Xiang Liyun say that the coffin should be made by one person, don't waste wood.

Qin Huang was even more displeased: "Nonsense, if I live alone, wouldn't I be lonely?"

Yan Jiang smiled: "Don't you still have a large army of chariots and horses? How about only one person, why don't you ask Xiang Liyun to pinch one for you and let me put it in."

Qin Huang's eagle-like sharp eyes suddenly looked at Xiang Liyun, who suddenly felt as if the frozen sun had been splashed with ice water, and his whole body felt numb and stiff, and his heart felt cold, thinking that the fight between you two gods would implicate my little one. What to do with dried shrimps?

He was quick-witted and immediately objected: "Yan Zi's words are wrong, how can a living person be made into a living sacrifice, isn't this hurting His Majesty's true love?"

Only then did Qin Huang's eyes soften a bit.

Yan Jiang smiled slightly, and was about to speak when Xiang Liyun cut him off urgently: "This way of dyeing the terracotta warriors, I will have to trouble Zhengqing more in the future. To express my gratitude, Zhengqing might as well reward my young family with Your Majesty." Choreograph music?"

Yan Jiang was not very interested, and was about to refuse, when Xiang Liyun continued: "Now there is a new musician in my young mansion. Pity."

Ever since Yan Zi compiled a new opera, the Shaofu has been looking for talents from all over the world. Nowadays, it is hard to find a ticket for the performance team of Xianyang Academy, let alone a favorite character. It has become a new way for the nobles to fight for power It's also the busy people like Qin Huang and Yan Zi who are used to all kinds of entertainment that can be so careless.

Hearing what Xiang Liyun said, both of them were interested, although they wanted to see if they could make each other cry, but it was a kind of adjustment.

So the two decided to go see it together.

Qin Huang came in person, so he was there in person. The plot of this new dog-blood drama is very simple, it is a love story of Qin, but the music behind the scenes is really too sad and lingering, even Yan Jiang and Qin Huang are slightly moved , overwhelmed by the music that hides all the flavors of life.

After the play was over, Emperor Qin asked the musicians to come out to meet him.

There was silence behind the scenes.

After a long time, I saw a thin man in Tsing Yi come out of his arms and raised his head calmly.

Yan Jiang was slightly startled: "Gao Jianli?"
