Chapter 024 Zhengzheng Buddha
While thinking nonsense, I suddenly heard the sound of reciting Buddha. I turned my head and saw that a monk came to the riverside and looked at me with a smile. He gave me a Buddha's gift when he approached, and I quickly got up to return the salute.
He asked, "Is the benefactor General Liu Yu and Liu Jinu?"
In Jingkou's hometown, there are far more people who know my name is Liu Jinu than those who know my name is Liu Yu.
"Exact. I don't know what the great monk has learned?"
After confirming my identity, he saluted and said, "Can the general talk to the little monk alone?"
Although I don't know what he meant when he came here, he was kind-looking and came out to relax, so I might as well talk a few words. So I sent my servants to the sedan chair to accompany my wife and daughter.
Seeing that the idle people had left, the monk read a Buddha and said, "The monk should no longer deal with the affairs in the world, but this matter is of great importance, so he has to meet with the general. Please forgive me."
I don't know what he is going to say, so I have to be perfunctory.
"General Liu is unspeakable, and the future will be immeasurable..."
I heard a frown. There is a sense of inexplicity in my heart. I don't know why this monk said this in the first sentence.
Jiangnan will face chaos. An Jiangnan is the only general.
My eyebrows frowned deeper. The chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is well known. Sun En and Lu Xun encouraged the ignorant people to rise up against the court, so that the court had to use half of its military strength to fight against the enemy when facing a strong enemy in the north. Even without me, other generals will complete this task. Moreover, the main thief is Liu Laozhi, not me. Now, Sun En has just calmed down. I don't know what this monk means. Do you mean Lu Xun?
I was thinking about it. Shamen seemed to see my mind, smiled and said, "This chaos is not the chaos of Sun En and Lu Xun."
I asked, "Now that Sun En is dead, Lu Xun has surrendered. The world is peaceful. What's the mess?"
"This is also the sky. The general is determined to sweep the uneven place. The biggest unevenness is not in the people, but in the court.
"What do you mean?"
"unspeakable, unspeakable. The general is good at himself. Just remember what I said to you today. You are very human and can't be treated normally. Just as I didn't know how to respond, he said, "Is there a sore on the general's left arm?"
How did he know the sore on my left arm? Did he see it?
I replied, "I had a sore more than ten years ago. Although the sore has not worsened, it has never healed. It hurts or itches every cloudy and rainy day.
He smiled and said, "It's okay." Then he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and gave it to me. Try applying this medicine."
I took the bottle and looked at it. This is a rare exquisite porcelain bottle, and a picture of plum blossoms is printed on the white tire. There is a seal under the picture, but the seal is too small to see what the words are. I was wondering why a monk had such a bottle, but when I looked up, I found that the monk had disappeared. There is no one left or right.
This medicine is very effective. After only two times, the sore was cured.
Although what the monk said was inexplicable, when I thought of the strange things that had happened before and the experiences of Sun En during the Southern Expedition, it seemed that I really felt that a mysterious force was pushing me forward. It's just that I don't understand what power it is; I don't understand where the direction is going.
No matter what impact this has on my psychology, I won't think about it in a few days.
That day, Liu Daogui brought a young man to my house. He introduced to me, "This is my brother's friend, Wang Zhenzhi."
Seeing that it was my younger brother's friend, I politely invited Wang Zhenzhi to drink tea.
Wang Zhenzhi is very good at talking and talking with me. Obviously, this Wang Zhenzhi has some similarities with Taoism.
Wang Zhenzhi first expressed his respect for the extermination of Sun En, and then analyzed the current situation to me. He believes that although Huan Xuan is in the capital Jiankang, his foundation is in Jingzhou, not Yangzhou, where Jiankang is located. Huan Xuan's business in Yangzhou has never shaken his foundation in Jingzhou. Once he is frustrated in Yangzhou, he will definitely return to Jingzhou. Therefore, although Huan Xuan adhered to the government of the State of Jin, the regent was actually uneasy to stay in Jiankang.
His words are exactly the conclusion of my recent analysis. Hearing this, I took a look at the Taoist rule. Taoist rules nodded to me with a smile in his eyes.
Although it is not convenient to talk about such a topic at present, I can't help but continue to listen to it when someone analyzes the current situation like this. So I touched my beard and said lightly, "This is national politics, and I can't solve it."
Wang Zhenzhi did not respond quickly to what he said to me, but followed his thoughts just now and analyzed:
"The reason why Huan Xuan was a little proud in Jiankang is that he relied on two points: First, he brought the heavy troops from Jingzhou to Jiankang. In addition to the Beifu army controlled by Huan Xiu, Huan Xuan's own Jingzhou soldiers were the strongest. He is holding the two strong soldiers and is fearless. Second, he has implemented benevolent politics in Jiankang, abolished tyranny, cracked down on illegal rich families, and won the support of some scholars in Jiankang. These two points distinguish him from Dong Zhuo at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"So don't be offended." I said such an ambiguous sentence.
Wang Zhenzhi looked back at Liu Daogui and then said, "I just mentioned that Huan Xuan's difficulty in Jiankang is because he cares about Jingzhou. This is one of them. The second reason is that Huan Xuan and his son have been operating in Jingzhou for many generations, which has kept them away from the decision-making power of the capital. His father Huan Wen's intimidation of the emperor was vivid, and Jiankang's courtiers have been wary of Huan Xuan's usurpation of power since Sima Daozi. In Jiankang City, once there is a rebel, they will respond.
Hearing this, I said, "That's all right, but I'm afraid it's your imagination."
Liu Daogui interrupted at this time: "No matter what you imagine or the truth. You can't ignore the emperor and courtiers, and let Huan Xuan's left and right.
I said, "I'm just a military Cao in Beifu. I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with me. How about national politics? It is controlled by ministers above the court and generals outside the court. I'm afraid that you two can only talk so loudly in my place.
I wanted to say a few more words, but because it was the first time I met Wang Zhenzhi, I couldn't say it too directly.
What else did Liu Daogui say? I waved my hand and said to Wang Zhenzhi, "I'm obsessed with military affairs. Please accompany me, and I won't accompany you. Excuse me!" After saying that, I told the rules to accompany Wang Zhenzi to stroll around the garden, and then got up and went back to the inner room.
