Chapter 264 Talking about Buddhism
Japan has been fighting for a long time under the deliberate provocation of Song Qing, and Song Qing will also help the weak side from time to time, so Japan's civil war, which has lasted for several years, has never ended.
However, the letter Song Qing just received from Dengzhou gave him a very bad feeling. Because Emperor Toba suddenly died of an acute illness.
These little devils are all unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. Their life and death are not in Song Qing's heart at all. The problem is that Toba suddenly hangs up, which is bound to break the balance of power in Japan.
No matter how Yoshiki Fujimoto and Yoshiyoshi Fujimoto fight, they are also their own brothers. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, it is easy to regroup them and become a new hard force.
In the final analysis, Japan is too far away from the mainland, and the information transmission is not timely, which makes Song Qing unable to use it here. What he can do now is to order Xie Wenying and others to continue to collect Japanese intelligence so that they can respond in time.
This matter came to an end for the time being. Next, Song Qing began to prepare to receive senior monks from all over the world. To his surprise, although Dabolajie and Master Duan of Dali came, none of the living Buddhas from Tibet came, which made him very depressed when he had wanted to take this opportunity to send troops to Tibet.
Of course, Song Qing knew that the problem was there. The messenger sent by Tubo a few years ago had gone back because he refused to see him. Therefore, Ali Gu should be making a fuss from it, otherwise he will not fail to come because of his relationship with Zhuo Puba.
Foguang Temple has been built, and Dabolajie has also arrived, so what should be done will continue.
Daborajie is the host of the Buddha Light Temple hired by Song Qing. The Dharma is profound and there are countless disciples. It is most appropriate for him to preside over the opening of the Buddha statue.
Dapola has studied Buddhism intensively. Although the heart of fame and fortune is indifferent, there is no lack of missionary heart. Compared with Luoyang, Dali is simply a small quagmire, so as soon as Song Qing just proposed it, he immediately agreed.
A day suitable for the opening of Buddhism was selected. The opening ceremony, attended by Song Qing and presided over by Dabolakiel, was held grandly. The ceremony was also presided over by senior monks from many monasteries in the Central Plains.
King Liang's favorite Buddha is a grand event of Buddhism in the world and a good opportunity for Guangda Buddhism. Can they not come?
Song Qing does not believe in Buddha. He only believes in himself. Of course, he did this for a purpose, but unfortunately the plan did not change quickly. But of course, it can't be done like this. I dare not invite you. Isn't it too arrogant? It doesn't work for any reason.
Before the opening ceremony, Song Qing sent a letter to Zhu Wu, requiring him to deal with it at his discretion. Zhu Wu knows his mind best and believes that he knows what to do.
Song Qing participated in such a Buddhist ceremony when he was in Chengdu. He knew that it would take more than half a day for good people to stand up into wood after this full set of ceremonies. So after attending the first two ceremonies, he went to the backyard to be called meditation.
It was not until Song Qing took a nap that Daborael had the opportunity to come to the Zen room to talk to Song Qing.
The reason why Song Qing did not leave was that he was waiting for him. Song Qing wanted to ask him about Tubo Buddhism.
Zhuo Puba has a good relationship with Song Qing, but Song Qing will never put eggs in a basket, otherwise he will rely on Zhuo Puba for everything. Isn't it too passive?
Obviously, Dabolajie also knew what Song Qing wanted to ask. After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, he said, "Although my brother can't come, he still asked me to apologize to Chitose. I hope Chit be surprised. He will definitely apologize to Chitose in person when there is a chance in the future."
Song Dan smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter. It's the same if the master can come. I'm waiting for the master here. I have something to ask."
"Chitose, please speak"
"I heard that it is difficult to separate politics and religion in Tubo. Why is that? In contrast, although there are many believers in Central Plains Buddhism, they have never had such a situation. Can the master solve the king's puzzles?
This question is really not easy to answer. After all, Dabo Lajie and Zhuopuba have a family. If they talk too much, isn't it suspected of betraying the teacher?
But if you don't say anything, won't you live up to King Liang's help to you?
Song Qing knew the contradiction in his heart, but this was what he wanted to hear very much, so he just sat there quietly waiting for him to answer, without urging him at all. Anyway, if you don't say it, I won't leave.
Dapolajie pondered for a long time and said, "Thousand years old man is really embarrassed! Well, Laoqi just said his opinion. As for whether it is right or wrong, Laoqi can't guarantee it."
This old monk is also cunning.
"Master, but it doesn't matter, I listen to it"
"This matter is really long. If you want to trace it, I'm afraid it will start from the Li and Tang Dynasty. As far as Lao Na knows, the heyday of Tubo's teaching began with Li Kezuzanpu, and the difference between Tubo Buddhism and Central Plains Buddhism is that it integrates popular Hinayana Buddhism and Tianzhu's Tantric Buddhism in the former Western Regions. As well as the local religion and witch religion, its tantra ideology dominates, eating meat and not abstaining from killing. Gradually, a strict religious group was formed, and then began to enter politics."
"So, the problem still lied with the early Tubo emperor?"
"It can also be said"
Song Qing sneered and said bluntly that this was just a means for the emperor to control the people. The people are all Buddhists, but the emperor is the spokesperson of the Buddha, so that the people don't listen to the emperor?
Control people's behavior with harsh laws, and then control their thoughts with religion. It can't be said that this is a very smart means of governance, but the problem is that there is no difference between politics and religion.
There is no division between politics and religion, and it is strange that the country is not chaotic.
In fact, Song Qing also wanted to ask for advice on how to separate Tubo politics and religion, but now it seems that there is no result.
Thinking of this, Song Qing stood up, bowed to Daborah, and said, "Thank the master for solving the king's puzzles and benefiting me a lot. Say goodbye"
Daborahel is also helpless, because some words can't be said indiscriminately, and he can even feel the displeasure in Song Qing's heart. However, there was nothing he could do. Seeing that Song Qing was going to leave, his heart suddenly moved and immediately understood why Song Qing asked this question.
Following Song Qing, he asked in a low voice, "Chitose is going to send troops to Tibet?"
The old monk reacted very quickly. Song Qing turned his head and said with a smile, "Does the master think it's inappropriate?"
Dapolajie bowed his head and said, "I dare not. Chitose is kind to me. I should have known everything, but please understand the difficulties of Lao. If Qiansui insists on using troops against Tubo, he must no longer celebrate, otherwise it will easily be counterproductive!"
Zhu Wu's massacre in Xingqing Prefecture has spread all over the Western Regions, and many small countries in the Western Regions believe in Buddhism, so it is not surprising that Dapollajie can know.
Song Qing understood that he was reminding himself that he could not take such a measure when dealing with Tubo. It can be said that he is also kind.
Of course, Song Qing knows that the slaughter can't solve the problem, but what should be treated? For those aliens, they must be treated with a big knife and a sweet date.
Killing blindly will be counterproductive, and blind compromise and forbearance is even more difficult.
said solemnly: "I will remember the words of the master. Xixia and even all parts of the Western Regions have been an inseparable part of my land since ancient times. What is the fault of the king's body, obedience to the will of the people, and the army to recover his homeland? The master should know that I am not a killer, but he will never be soft on those who intend to divide the country and subvert our Liangshan regime. When the king came, those who obeyed me prospered, and those who rebelled against me died."
Song Qing's words were powerful and loud, showing his great confidence in defending the land. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Dapola opened his mouth. In fact, he wanted to say that Tibet was not the homeland of the Central Plains, but he saw that Song Qing had left without stopping.
Fortunately, he didn't say it, otherwise Song Qing would have told him that it was not before, but soon. Song Qing may not have the ambition of Genghis Khan, but as long as the territory in his memory, it is bound to be included in the territory of Liangshan.
After Song Qing left, Daborah pondered for a moment, immediately turned back to the Zen room and wrote a letter to his brother.
There is nothing to say about the old monk's study of Buddhism, but when it comes to mind-to-machine, it is too far worse. When he thought about it, Song Qing wanted to send troops to Tibet, probably out of revenge, because neither Han nor Tang, Tubo was in the territory of Middle-earth. But I didn't expect that Song Qing had even counted the future generations.
In his letter, Daborael asked his brother to immediately urge Ali Gu and other nobles to repair with Song Qing as soon as possible so as to avoid the suffering of the Tubo people.
Song Qing dared to say such a thing to the old monk. Of course, he also thought that he would inform Zhuo Puba, but this is exactly what Song Qing wanted.
I can protect your faith, but you must also obey my rule. This is an era of the law of the jungle. Who makes my strength stronger than you!
After Song Qing went back, he ordered someone to find Xiao Rang and let him draft an article to be distributed in various parts of the Western Regions, calling on the people of the Western Regions to welcome Wang Shi and return to the arms of the Middle-earth. At the same time, he also added his sentence "Wang Shi, the obedience will prosper and the rebels will die".
Song Qing did not expect to return all parts of the Western Regions through a piece of paper, but this can at least be used as a spiritual guide to make the people of the Western Regions have a sense of identity and know why Liangshan sent troops to the Western Regions.
Now that the weather has turned warm, Yue Fei is ready to rise up to destroy the remnants of Li Renli, and this article will also accompany the army to the Western Regions.
He was ordered to send the article to Zhu Wu, and he was responsible for when to send it out.
Zhu Wu hasn't replied yet, but what Song Qing was most worried about in Japan still happened.
Fujimoto Yoshiaki and Fujimoto Yoshiyoshi suddenly shook hands and made peace, and then attacked the birds, feathers and horses in both directions, and now they have recovered Kyushu Island.
This is not to mention. Fujimoto Yoshitsuna, who used to be like his grandson, did not know what medicine he took wrong and detained the commercial ships in Jiangnan and Japan. At the same time, he would be detained by Liangshan officials who were responsible for supervising mining in Kyushu.
It seems that there is a tendency to break with Liangshan.
When he got the news, Song Qing couldn't help frowning.
