Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 759 Chen Yun is only a few years old and is marrying someone else
"Are these mages coming from nowhere?" Liu Che didn't hesitate when he saw several people looking over. He greeted them simply, and then got out of the car, "Did something happen to your carriage?"

"I have seen Buddhist monks and Buddhist monks. These are my disciples."

Among the monks, a man stepped out. He was about forty years old. He had a solemn face and handsome nose and eyes. He was dressed in a cassock. When the wind blew, he flew around and looked very elegant.

When Liu Che saw this, he immediately fell in love with him and couldn't help asking. After asking, he discovered that this man actually spoke in detail and quoted many scriptures. He seemed to be knowledgeable about the past and present, and he was not like ordinary monks who talked about Buddhism.

At this moment, Liu Che's favorable impression grew even stronger, and he couldn't help but invite him to sit in his carriage. He was served tea and fruits, and asked about his history.

Just listen to what the Dharma slip said: "The poor monk was originally from Youzhou, his family name is Wei, and he belongs to the Wang clan of Fanyang County. However, because the poor monk came from a small branch, his parents died early, so it was his uncle who helped him grow up and learned When I was twenty years old and confused, I asked the monks in the temple for help. I felt something in my heart, so I became a monk to serve the Buddha and translated Buddhist scriptures. I gained a lot, but I also became more and more confused. I met my teacher in Luoyang two years ago and worshiped him. Take a seat and your doubts will gradually be cleared."

Liu Che couldn't help but ask: "Which great mage is your teacher?"

The Dharma slip put his hands together and said respectfully, "The poor monk is Zhu Fo Tucheng."

"It turns out to be Master Fotucheng!" Liu Che was immediately in awe. "I live in the Kingdom of Zhao, but I have heard about the reputation of the master. I heard that he was originally an eminent monk from the Western Regions. In order to promote Buddhism, he traveled thousands of miles to come to our eastern land and determined to In order to turn the Eastern Land into a Buddhist country, he stayed in the capital city of Luoyang a few years ago, chanting sutras and preaching about Buddhism, and recruiting many disciples. Unexpectedly, the master was also a disciple of this great master. No wonder he is so elegant and knowledgeable. He is really admirable. !"

The Buddhist Dharma slips are folded together and don't say much.

Liu Che suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He thought about the popularity of Buddhism in Luoyang nowadays. He heard that even the King of Guanghan was involved in it, and he highly praised and respected several Buddhist masters. When he was at home, he would I heard my father and ancestors mention it, saying that the mysteries of Buddhism and the mysteries of metaphysics have the same approach and the same purpose, but the mysteries are more broad, and the wording has its own unique features. This is why it is highly respected by everyone in metaphysics, and those who practice it gradually many.

"In Luoyang, there are many kings who practice Buddhism and practice Taoism. They have special respect for the Buddhist master, especially Fotucheng. It is said that he is the guest of several princes, princes, and even princes, and there are many famous people, The Grandmaster is in contact with him, and if he can get this person to come forward, it would be great whether he could help his father out of trouble, say a few words on behalf of Chen Zhi, or exchange Chen Zhi's promise to send troops."

After this thought fell, he couldn't help but become more enthusiastic, and asked again: "The master studied under Master Fotucheng, so he must be profound in Buddhism. Is this trip to the north to spread Buddhism in the north? Have you ever gone to Daijun? I think The mage's carriage is damaged, why don't we take it and go to Daijun."

Seeing that the Dharma slip's expression moved slightly, he continued: "Master, you should probably have heard of this place. This county can be said to be a prosperous place in Youzhou, with many business travelers and a large population. The Hu people all joined some of them. Their governor, Chen Zhi and Chen Shouyi, was also a famous scholar and had a great influence. He was famous both among scholars and among the people. If it can be said that he valued Buddhism, it would be beneficial. numerous."

According to Liu Che's idea, he first tricked the person, built friendship along the way, and took a breather. When both parties knew it, he connected in front of Chen Zhi, and both sides were selling favors. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
But while he was still thinking about good things, he saw the Buddhist Dharma Slip shaking his head slightly. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, the Master himself said: "The poor monk and others went north to spread the Dharma, but they also came to visit the seniors. Monk, there is a great master named Zhufa, who is profound in Buddhism. Now he has established a temple in the north, named "Sangshui", to teach Buddhist scriptures and translate scriptures, so he came to ask for advice. This Sangshui Temple is located in the south of Sangqian River and north of Daijun, so it is The poor monk has already met the Grand Administrator Chen, but this person does not see the Buddha nature and is unwilling to take refuge, so the poor monk will leave on his own."

"This..." Liu Che was stunned for a moment, looking a little embarrassed. Now the flattery was slapped on the horse's leg. He had praised Chen Zhi and Dai Jun just now, but when he turned around, he realized that the monk in front of him was actually Chen Zhi. Those who had refused immediately became speechless.On the other hand, Sun Xiu, who had been sitting in the corner and watching with cold eyes, sneered secretly in his heart. He looked at the monk in front of him and assessed his plan.

According to Sun Xiu's understanding of the Samanas, if these people want to spread the Dharma, they don't just need to pass on the Dharma. They also need to have supporting infrastructure, such as temples, fields, and tenant farmers. They all hope to get it from the government. The people in power dug it out bit by bit, and finally established an entire ecosystem, even with its own armed personnel.

"Chen Zhi even wanted to deprive and weaken the armed forces of the big families, strengthen the weak branches, and bring them back to himself. It took a lot of effort and several incidents to achieve the goal. Coordinate the whole county. You Shamen, go over there. , trying to pluck the feathers from such an iron rooster is simply a fantasy. If you don’t fail, who will fail?”

When Zhu Fawei built Sangshui Temple, Sun Xiu and Liu Che were still in Dai County. They knew a lot about the cause and effect. Of course, they knew that the great master initially proposed to build a temple in the city, but failed to approve it, so he retreated. The next best thing was to get a piece of land in the north outside the city.

But Chen Zhi still refused, saying that the land was being planned there and could not be used to support the temple.

He refused twice, and if it had been someone else, he would have been full of anger, and he was afraid that the matter would not go away, but Zhu Fawei had done enough to cultivate his energy, and finally retreated to the bank of the Sanggan River, chose a piece of land, and surrounded it. Get up and build a temple.

But even so, Chen Zhi was not willing to give this piece of land away for free. He signed and signed the certificate. Although he did not mention selling it, he also made it clear that the monks had to take care of the things needed to build the temple themselves, such as transporting wood and the like. You also have to use money to buy it, and you even have to pay shipping fees to help transport supplies. It can be said that it is like a goose plucking its feathers, and it has no intention of respecting the Buddha.

"You are looking for such a person to preach Buddhism, but you are looking for the wrong person."

Sun Xiu was thinking to himself, but his young master was still chatting awkwardly over there, but he was somewhat running out of things to talk about. In order to prevent both parties from being embarrassed and speechless at the end, Sun Xiu made a suggestion, saying that he should let My people will go over to help repair the car. If it can be repaired, they will go their separate ways and contact each other later. If not, then I will send a fast horse to the town ahead to contact you and find a carriage. Anyway, in this era, you can bring The monk who followed a group of monks to the north must be a rich man and would not be short of money.

Although Liu Che wanted to say a few more words to the other party, he knew it was hard to continue after looking at the situation, so he agreed.

In the end, everything went smoothly, and the carriage was barely repaired. Several monks said goodbye to Liu Che, saying they were going to a small town in Fanyang County for formal repairs.

As soon as Liu Che's carriage left, the monk Dharma Jian shook his head slightly and whispered: "These are two people who can't see the situation clearly. They thought Chen Zhi had something to do and went to seek refuge. Little did they know that Chen Shou was lucky. Within a few years, I was making wedding clothes for others."
