Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4174: karma is beneficial

The latest website: Sima Guofan murmured: "It turns out that there is no connection between Daqin and Tianshi Dao, it's just Gou Lin's personal choice? But why doesn't everyone in the world understand this?"

Yao Shao said coldly: "That Gou Lin was originally a tribe of Liangzhou who belonged to Daqin in name, and is essentially the same as you two. He asked Daqin for help, but Daqin couldn't control him. Huan Qian is also of the same nature. He He wanted to go back to stand on his own, but also wanted to borrow Daqin’s soldiers and horses. Daqin didn’t have the ability at the time, so he had to recruit people from various ministries in Liangzhou who were willing to help him.

"After the defeat of the former Qin army, some former Qin troops fled to Jingzhou with Fu Hong. They heard that they were doing well there. Therefore, Liangzhou has suffered years of wars, and some people thought they could live a similar life. Gou Lin was originally a bandit leader who rebelled against impermanence between Western Qin and Southern Liang, and was also tolerated by all parties. Hearing such an opportunity, he thought of moving to Jingzhou with his clan and subordinates. Who wouldn’t want to go to the colorful world.”

"Our heavenly king happened to be happy to get rid of this villain, and let them go out under the banner of the Qin army. In fact, they didn't even send a supervising army. They just provided some food and grass for passing by. It's right to give it as a gift. Go abroad to eliminate foreign aggression.

"In the end, this Gou Lin never changed his mind. After he arrived in Jingzhou, he robbed houses everywhere. Even Huan Qian couldn't stand him. After all, Jingzhou is Huan Qian's territory. Asking someone to help is not asking someone to come to harm him, so Huan Qian resorted to tricks. Asking Gou Lin to join forces with Tianshidao to deal with Liu Daogui is actually driving Liu Yu away. This is exactly in Weng He's arms, but he is also used by Tianshidao in turn, leaving him as a rear guard to fight against Weng Heai However, Tianshidao's own army went eastward along the river and went straight to Yuzhou. In the end, Liu Yu and Gou Lin were defeated by Weng Heai. In fact, both of their troops have nothing to do with our Great Qin!"

Sima Chuzhi gritted his teeth: "It doesn't mean that Daqin and Tianshidao don't have any friendship, let alone an ally. So this time, we can't deal with Tianshidao under the banner of doing justice for the heavens, right? It's just that the attack like that won't help." Going to Huanqian is not good for us either. It is not good for Daqin if they take the opportunity to occupy Yuzhou.

Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "The world is bustling and bustling, and they are all for profit. Although they say it is for accumulating virtue and practicing, they are not completely careless about rewards. Take our Buddhism as an example. , then we have to put forward conditions to the state of Jin. The first thing is that the emperor of the state of Jin must pardon our crimes, just like Huan Qian was pardoned back then, so that we can change from sinners and traitors of the state of Jin to heroes who saved the great Jin. Only then can he be proud and return to the state of Jin to regain power.

Sima Guofan said indignantly: "It is Weng He who wants to usurp power and stand on his own, and that's why he wants to attack your clan princes. It is he who is guilty and wrong, not us!"

Kumarajiva waved his hand and said calmly: "Don't be anxious, seven benefactors, listen to the old man. Regardless of the merits of this matter, Huan Qian is always in power, and we were forced to leave the country. Just like Huan Qian did in those days. Xi Chao of the White Hand Party framed him. On the surface, he escaped from the state of Jin and married the princess of the state of Yan. Emperor Xiaowu only pardoned Huan Qian, gave him a marriage, and let him make meritorious deeds. Let's find a way to get back Jin State, restore the identity of the clan, and then make a long-term plan in the future, otherwise you will always have the reputation of defecting from the country, and no one in the Jin State is willing to lead."

Sima Guofan wanted to speak again, but Sima Chuzhi gently tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Master, continue to talk, what are the second and third."

Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "Yes, the second condition is that if we send troops to defeat the Heavenly Master Dao and take the land of Yuzhou, we have to be led and managed by our seven benefactors, because Liu Yi Once defeated, we are not qualified to guard this place anymore, and we deserve to be rewarded for this great achievement. The benefactor of Guofan can enter the court to assist the government, and the benefactor of Chu will take over as the governor of Yuzhou as foreign aid. Or let the former guarding Yuzhou The younger brother of Sima Shangzhi, the king of Qiao, Sima Xiuzhi came to guard here, and the director of Chu Zhishi, General Zhenxi, assisted him. In short, it is not in your interest for Sima to win a big state and embark on the road to restore imperial power from now on? "

Both Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi had smiles on their faces, and kept nodding their heads. Just as they were about to thank them, Sima Guofan suddenly thought of something and said, "National Teacher, what benefits will Daqin get this time?" just remove

What about Huan Qian?"

"But my Buddha is merciful, urging people to be good, to cultivate karma in the next life, and to disregard the mortal world in this life, and not to fight or fight. This is very conducive to ruling, and the rewards are not much needed. It is nothing more than giving believers some places to settle down. In the future, if we want to get along with the aristocratic family, we can also use our Buddhism as an external force to contend with it. The reason why Daqin was able to get rid of the restraint of many chiefs of various ministries is also to use the power of our Buddhism to regard peace as the most precious. In that world, you Daqin , and the benefits we want in Buddhism, do you think these requirements are too much?"

Kumarajiva nodded~www.readwn.com~sternly said: "Then the third thing, one of the conditions for us to send troops is that the Jin Kingdom must formally apologize to us and punish Huan Qian. When I was in Nanyan It is disrespectful to their proposal to strike soldiers, and even uttered wild words to send troops to our country. This kind of talk is fine for ordinary people, but Huan Qian, as the minister of the country, is so disrespectful in a formal diplomatic occasion, which is tantamount to declaring war on my great Qin. I have to bear this responsibility, so the condition for us to send troops is to remove Huan Qian from his official position, at least not to allow him to govern in the central government, and not to allow him to return to Jiankang."

Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "You Great Qin naturally has your benefits. The first thing is that Huan Qian, a powerful enemy who was hostile to you, was dismissed and weakened, and these two friends were guarding Yuzhou. Threat. The second thing is that you can ask Da Jin to promote Buddhism from now on, and slowly replace the ambitious Taoism of Heavenly Masters who wanted to make trouble in the name of religion. In fact, from the Taiping Taoism at the end of the Han Dynasty to the Taoism of Heavenly Masters , are not simple religions that persuade people to be good, but a bunch of lunatics with wolf ambitions. If you want to govern in the future, you should keep this in mind.”

Sima Guofan laughed and clapped his hands: "This proposal is good. It is equivalent to forcing Huan Qian to be expelled and not allowed to return to Beijing. Okay, great. If Weng He holds the power in the central government, then they really can't go back ostentatiously. Don't worry about bearing the infamy of being familiar with foreign countries!"
