Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 135 Demoting Xia to Buddha!

Looking at this article he wrote, Chen Hua was filled with pride and joy.

According to his original level of knowledge, he would never have been able to write it, but with the acquiescence of his teacher Guo Zhan and the help of many servants from other courtyards, the situation was completely different.

"External and internal, high and low, high and low, have their own positions, practice the way of teaching and make them settle in their positions, then the universe will be completed, and the world will be stable. This is called the way of the teacher! As a body, with Buddha as a bone, it is far more than the previous articles!”

Looking at the last summary sentence, Chen Hua nodded silently, then called someone and asked him to inform the teacher.

"Brother Chen, Dharma monk Naming is here, and the teacher is entertaining him."

"Master Mingfa is here? Just in time, let the master comment on my article. It also contains Buddhist insights, and it will definitely be appreciated by the master." Chen Hua smiled slightly, not appearing arrogant, and not matching his external image. Very different.

Guo Zhan's family is either rich or noble. In terms of status and background, there are many people higher than Chen Hua. There are no less than seven people with famous names. Here, even Chen Hua knows to restrain himself. This is why he inherited it. Influenced by Guo Zhan's theories, one knows one's own character and when to abide by one's duties.

When Chen Hua arrived at Guo Zhan's Taoist discussion hall, he heard the sound of loud discussions inside through the door, and there were more than two people inside.

The person who went in earlier made an announcement, and Chen Hua knelt and sat by the door, waiting quietly. When he heard Guo Zhan's call, he opened the door, bowed and called, "Teacher..." Looking up, he saw There were three people sitting in the room. Apart from one person who was obviously dressed as a monk, there was another person who was Mei Xian.

Mei Xian was a member of the Mei family in Huaiyin and an aristocratic family in Xuzhou. He inherited the family's Ci Fu and studied Confucian classics. Mei Yan, whom Chen Hua met in Liu County, was the younger brother of Mei Xian. Mei Xian himself was a master of Confucian classics and a famous scholar in Guangling. A celebrity with a far-reaching reputation, he did not try to make any concessions compared to Guo Zhan.

"I've met Master Mingfa, I've met Mr. Mei, and this..." Chen Hua greeted them one by one, and his eyes fell on the last person. He saw that this person looked elegant, but his clothes were simple, and he had a calm attitude. When he saw Chen Hua Hua came in and didn't respond much, just glanced slightly.

Guo Zhan smiled slightly and said: "Let me introduce to you. This is Qian Baoqian Lingsheng. He is the governor of the province. Now he is going home to observe his filial piety. He happens to be old with me. He passed by here and came to meet him."

"It turns out it's a farewell, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Chen Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The governor Biejia was also the assistant officer of the governor. He was a close person and had the value of making friends. However, Chen Hua was much less interested when he heard that this person was returning home to observe filial piety.

Guo Zhan noticed something and continued: "Brother Qian Xian has a good academic background. He is also a master of poetry and poetry. He has also made many achievements in history. I heard that the imperial court intends to recruit him to serve as a historian editor."

Will you be a historian?

When Chen Hua heard this, he immediately paid attention, and his eyes towards Qian Bao also changed. There are too few people in this era who are not enthusiastic about Qingshi.

Qian Bao shook his head and said: "They are all rumors, don't take them seriously. I came here today just to catch up with my brother, nothing else."

Guo Zhan smiled and nodded: "Okay, in that case, you might as well read the new article of my disciple and have a good taste." He saw the article in Chen Hua's hand, so he said this .

Chen Hua didn't show any pretense and went with the flow.

Guo Zhan took the article and showed it to everyone.

"Teacher's teachings? It seems to be an article about famous teachings." Qian Bao glanced at it thoughtfully.

The monk, Mingfa Monk, looked at it for a few times, pointed to the article with a smile and said: "This article is quite subtle and coincides with the meaning of Buddhism. I listened to the eminent monk Zhu Fotuchen's sermon in Luoyang last year and was deeply impressed. Now I have read this article. , but I feel that there are similarities among them, but I am enlightened by the number of things."

Guo Zhan nodded in agreement and said, "It is precisely the wonders of the Five Yins, Four Truths, and Twelve Entrances. To be a teacher is to enlighten the disciples with external force. Now that I study Buddhism, I realize that the Buddhist dharma has a long history. Regarding the way to be a teacher, , perhaps still above that of Confucius and Mencius in China, it is actually a wonderful voice in the world. I should work hard to promote it and make the light of Buddha shine in China."

Chen Hua also nodded at the side, pointed to his article and said: "In my opinion, among all the schools in China, only Lao and Zhuang can be compared with Buddhism, but there are still shortcomings in subtlety. If a teacher cannot understand the mind, nature, and color, , the wonder of emptiness, how can we allow our disciples to bathe in the light of the Buddha? The way to be a teacher actually lies in enlightenment, through which the light of the Buddha is born within us."

"Great kindness!" Monk Ming Dharma laughed heartily when he heard this.

But Mei Xian, who was listening, frowned and looked increasingly unhappy.Guo Zhan was also laughing. He turned his eyes and saw Mei Xian's expression. He understood a little and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Brother Mei also has some opinions. You might as well tell me. This article by my disciple is just a reference. Let's discuss it together." , it’s also easy to distinguish.”

Chen Hua was secretly happy when he heard this.

He also understood that Mei Xian was the successor of Confucian classics. He was naturally unhappy when he heard that several people praised external Buddhism. To put it simply, the three views were at odds.

At other times, Chen Hua would have been uneasy if he was disliked by a Confucian scholar. But now, in order to restore his reputation and make up for his mistakes in Pengcheng, he needs to use this article to gain a reputation for enlightenment in Guangling and Jiangzuo. Only in order to be invincible, as long as the reputation can be spread, then it is good, and other things cannot be taken care of for the time being.

What could be easier to spread your name than to gain controversy among celebrities?After the debate, the popularity of the article will immediately increase. His article "Ode to the Way of the Teacher" will become famous even if it is not famous.

Sure enough, I heard Mei Xian say: "I also know that Buddhism is exquisite, but the learning of China has a long history, and each family has its own merits. However, Buddhism came from the west and did not worship the ancestors and worship foreign gods. Since ancient times, Yi and Xia have been different, how can we Comparing the sages with Hu gods?" As soon as he spoke, he raised the matter to a debate between Yi and Xia, not because he did it deliberately, but because Guo Zhan was his good friend, and he also knew that Guo Zhan had studied Buddhism intensively in recent years. I didn't want to spoil the fun, and I didn't want to argue directly, so I reminded him in a roundabout way.

Unexpectedly, Guo Zhan shook his head and said: "Brother Mei, what you said is wrong. You have also read Buddhist scriptures and seen high temples. You should know that the Buddhist teachings are best at enlightenment. Even young children can achieve enlightenment. This is the merit of Prajna wisdom." , In contrast, the teachings of Chinese Buddhism are relatively closed-minded. They are mainly based on one family and one surname. Each has its own teachings and does not like external teachings. This falls into the lower vehicle. Brother, why should we exclude Buddhism because it is from outside? Why not be inclusive and inclusive? ? Let the sea be open to all rivers."

When Guo Zhan talks about a family and a surname, the family here refers to a hundred families rather than an aristocratic family. It represents an academic sect and refers to a private academy. The surname refers to an aristocratic family, which refers to a generation of family studies. The Han school is stubborn and unchanging, and they still cherish their own affairs and do their own things.

At the same time, Guo Zhan also used an admonishing tone to ask Mei Xian not to be too nationalistic, because cultural origin denies the theory of foreignness. Logically speaking, his words are also upright, but they distort part of the reality. In order to praise Buddha, he deliberately belittles them. In middle school, it is biased to ignore the fact that there is no distinction between education and distinction. Of course, Mei Xian will not be convinced.

Mei Xian was not polite anymore and said directly: "Yuhuan and Wang Fu have long said that Lao Tzu turned into a Hu. This is the inheritance of the teaching of teachers from China to the West. It is the inheritance of the teaching of teachers. Why can't it be compared to Buddhism?" His eyes sharpened, and he organized words in his mind, preparing to use classics to fight back.

Sure enough, Mingfa Monk expressed different opinions next, and the two were tit for tat. Soon, Guo Zhan also joined in, and one-on-one, Mei Xian gradually lost. Especially since the other two often regarded Buddhist dharma as their foundation, He spoke eloquently about the way of inheritance, and in an instant, Mei showed lack of preparation and gradually fell into defeat.

At the end, Mei Xian didn't even have much chance to speak. Instead, it was Guo Zhan and Ming Dharma monk who debated Buddhist views. Seeing this scene, Mei Xian became even more angry. He waved his sleeves and said, "Buddhism is compassionate." Like a worm, you disrespect your parents and ancestors, you lose your hair, you lose your clothes, you are in trouble, you are hypocritical and rude, you can’t believe it!” After saying that, he didn’t even want to say goodbye, and left directly without saying goodbye!
Seeing this scene, Guo Zhan was not worried. It was common for friends to leave in anger after discussing the topic. After all, cutting off seats and severing friendships was rare, and it also seemed narrow-minded. Ordinary celebrities would not do it easily even if they were arrogant. , unless it is a big issue of right and wrong.

Therefore, seeing Mei Xian leave, Guo Zhan laughed and shook his head, sighing: "Brother Mei Xian has no idea, so he had to use the courtesy of distinguishing things to refute."

The monk Ming Dharma said: "This is not Brother Mei's problem, it is the Dharma he has learned that is immeasurable. It is also fate that I can discuss Buddhism with Brother Mei today. It also shows that Brother Mei has a fate with Buddha, and maybe he can also open up in the future." Enlightenment.”

"That's right, that's right!" Guo Zhan nodded, then turned to Chen Hua and said, "Your article was praised by Master Mingfa, but you can't be complacent. Besides, it's your fault that Brother Mei was angry because of it. Remember to come to visit him afterwards." apologize."

Chen Hua quickly nodded in agreement, feeling like Ming Jing, knowing that his article would soon spread to Guangling and Jiangzuo!
Steady!

Regardless of the content of the article, just having Mei Xian, Ming Fa Seng, and Guo Zhan argue fiercely, and finally forcing Mei Xian to walk away, is enough to spread the name!

With the topic and Guo Zhan's hype, it's hard to think whether it will become popular or not.

"When this article becomes famous, it doesn't matter what the content is, because it's full of gimmicks, and I have the right to speak on the matter of famous education. At that time, I will use the way of education to refute the rumors of Pengcheng, and then belittle Chen Zhi's knowledge. , who can blame?”

At this moment, Gan Bao, who had been silent as if he was just a bystander, spoke up: "You two, I don't know if you have heard or not, but in the past few days, there has been an article circulating in the north, and it is also about the way of a teacher. "

When Guo Zhan heard this, he became interested and said with a smile: "Oh? There are also people in the north who write articles about teaching, which is quite interesting."

Monk Mingfa also laughed and said: "It's a pity that as soon as your disciple's "Ode to the Teacher's Way" came out, the other articles on the way of teachers were just untimely. I wonder whose article it is?"

Chen Hua also paid attention. Although he had the support of teachers and the praise of Ming Dharma monks, if he met someone who had written a master's essay, he would still be at a disadvantage, which would affect the effectiveness of the campaign.

Qian Bao didn't beat around the bush and said, "The article is called "The Master's Theory", and it wasn't written by a well-known celebrity. It was by a man named Chen Zhi. I was never famous in Guangling."
