Shi Xie has four brothers: the eldest, Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou, the second, Shi Yi, the prefect of Jiuzhen, the third, Shi Wei, the prefect of Cangwu, and the fourth, the prefect of Zhuya, Shi Wu. Shi Xie also has four sons, the eldest son, Shi Zhuan, the prefect of Nanhai.
The second son, Shi Hui, the prefect of Jiaozhi, the third son, Shi Qian, the prefect of Yulin, and the fourth son, Shi Song, the prefect of Dan'er. Shi Xie is over seventy years old this year. According to his age, he has not lived for a few years. Therefore, the three sons of Shi Xie are
The brothers and four sons had some ideas.
The most capable among them is Shi Xie's eldest son, Shi Zhuan. Shi Zhuan is in his fifties this year, the same age as his third uncle Shi Wei. Shi Zhuan Zhang is tall and strong, and he is very popular in Jiaozhou with a big sword.
He was considered invincible in the world. After the Sun family occupied Jiangdong, they repeatedly sent people to provoke him. Fortunately, the eldest son, Shi Zhuan, was stationed in the South China Sea to resist Sun Quan.
The most astute one is Shi Xie's third disciple, Shi Wei. Shi Wei is the most knowledgeable, because his territory is close to Jingzhou, and a lot of intelligence and news about the Central Plains will be sent to Jiaozhi through him. Shi Wei will profit from it and send some information to Jiaozhi.
Useful information was copied before being sent to Jiaozhou. Also because Cangwu was the closest to Jingzhou, Shi Wei privately organized a team of people to travel between Jingzhou and Jiaozhi to deliver grain and salt from Jingzhou to Jiaozhi.
Send some of the native products produced in Jiaozhi to Jingzhou. As the business grew, Cangwu became rich, and Shiwei also became rich.
What Shi Xie liked the most was his second son, Shi Hui. Shi Hui took Shi Xie as his example in benevolence and filial piety. He paid greetings to Shi Xie every day. In his spare time, he studied hard and was proficient in various classics and histories. This is right for Shi Xie.
Shi Xie's appetite was so great that Shi Xie left his son in Jiaozhi and stayed with him.
The people of the Shi family are divided into two groups. As the eldest son of Shi Xie, Shi Zhuan has a great advantage in inheriting the position of Zhou Mu. Furthermore, he also has the support of Shi Wei. One is rich, the other is brave, Zhu Ya,
Dan'er's warriors, Shi Song, had made it clear that they were willing to join Shi Zhuan's command. These few people occupied half of Jiaozhou's territory. The second faction was led by Shi Hui, and gathered his second uncle, Jiuzhen Taishou Shi Yi, and his third brother.
Shi Qian, the prefect of Yulin. This group is supported by Shi Xie, the governor of Jiaozhou. Although there are not many people, they can still fight against Shi Zhuan.
After reading the information collected by Xu Shu, Long Fei suddenly realized: "No wonder! Shi Wei actually sent me to the South China Sea in person, and even told me solemnly that if there is anything I can tell Shi Zhuan, it turns out they are an alliance!"
Xu Shu nodded: "Exactly, according to Shi Wei's wishes, we should stay in Nanhai to negotiate directly with Shi Zhuan, but the lord did not do so and must go to Jiaozhi. When Shi Zhuan came to Shi Wei, Shi Wei thought that we were going to negotiate with Shi Zhuan.
Shi Xie united, it is very likely that he was the assassin sent by them."
"That's wrong!" Xu Chu said, "The people who sent us to Jiaozhi were sent by Shi Gan, the prefect of Yulin. Shi Gan is from Shi Hui. Why do they want to harm us too?"
Long Fei waved his hand: "Now I seem to understand a little bit. You can continue to check this. Tomorrow I will go to visit this Shi Hui. Feng Xiao will go with me. This Shi Hui is a master of Confucian classics. By the way, he will leave from Cao Cao's house that year.
Bring the white jade statue you got!"
Shi Xie loved the study of Confucianism and attached great importance to the dissemination of Confucianism. He exchanged Confucian scholarship with the Confucian scholars who came to Jiaozhou for refuge, and wrote books and biographies, which set off a prosperous situation for Confucianism in Jiaozhou and created a golden age in the history of Lingnan culture. It is precisely because of this that Shi Xie
His attainments in Confucianism were appreciated by his father. Shi Hui was already in his forties. He spoke kindly and acted quietly. He had the same demeanor as his father Shi Xie, and was deeply respected by the people of Jiaozhou.
Shi Hui also has two good friends, one is named Mouzi, whose origin is unknown, and the other is named Kang Senghui [note]. This person has a great background. The eldest son of the prime minister of Kangju Kingdom in the Western Regions, his single name is Hui. He does not love wealth and sees through the world of mortals.
, determined to become a monk, and was known as "Kang Seng Hui". Kang Seng Hui adhered to the Buddhist decree and came to China to spread Buddhism and make good friends. He was not only proficient in Buddhist scriptures, but also dabbled in astronomical maps. In his early years, he had
When Buddhism was preached in Jiangdong, it was unthinkable that the people in Jiangdong were deceived by Yu Ji. They believed in Yu Ji's Taoism and Kang Senghui was kicked out by Liu Yao, who was the governor of Yangzhou at the time. When he arrived in Jiaozhi, he was entertained by Shi Xie and paid to build temples. Kang Senghui
He stayed after the meeting.
Muzi was also a monk. During his years in Jiaozhi, he devoted himself to studying Buddhism, communicated with monks from the Western Regions such as Kang Senghui, and wrote "Muzi's Theory of Confusion", which became a classic in the history of Buddhism.
Shi Hui also believes in Buddhism, because Shi Xie believes that Buddhists are kind-hearted and will not have too many intrigues. Therefore, Shi Hui gets very close to Mouzi and Kang Senghui, and often goes to the temple to burn incense and spend the whole day
I discussed Buddhism with Monk Mouzi and Kang and never tired of it. Shi Xie saw it in his eyes and felt happy in his heart.
When Long Fei came, Shi Hui was discussing Buddhism with Kang Monk. The family did not dare to disturb them, so they had to ask Long Fei to wait in the living room. After waiting for about an hour, it was really boring, so Long Fei strolled to the backyard. Shi Hui was
He is the prefect of Jiaozhi, and his residence is naturally the best place besides the prefecture's mansion. The prefect's mansion in the front yard is no different from the ordinary one, but the yard in the back is very different. In the middle of the yard is a large lake, which leads to the river water flowing through it.
The yard forms a natural lake. Various aquatic plants are spread throughout the lake, and lotus flowers compete for beauty.
There was a small island in the lake with a pavilion. From a distance, Long Fei saw two people sitting opposite each other. One was wearing a robe like a Han man, and the other had nine ring scars clearly on his shiny head.
Wearing a red cassock, he was sitting cross-legged and peaceful. When he came to the edge of the small bridge leading to the middle of the lake, two servants hurriedly came to stop him. Dian Wei glared at him, and the two of them were so frightened that they quickly moved out of the way.
The two people in the pavilion were talking happily, and Long Fei sounded like a book from heaven. Guo Jia hurriedly explained that the two people were discussing Buddhism, and they were trying to convince each other through stories in Buddhist scriptures. This test
It not only tests your understanding of Buddhist scriptures, but also tests the scope of your study of Buddhist scriptures. From the expressions of the two people, it is obvious that the official badges are already sweating, and Kang Senghui said that he unconsciously reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
Long Fei did not disturb the two of them, but stood aside and listened quietly. Stories about Bodhi trees, lotus terraces, and other Buddhist scriptures that he had never heard of came one after another, and they sounded interesting. Seeing that Shi Hui could no longer resist,
About to be defeated. Long Fei suddenly remembered a poem and recited casually: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."
As soon as these words came out, the two people who were discussing Buddhism stopped talking at the same time and turned to look at Long Fei. Kang Senghui quickly stood up, packed his monk's robe, clasped his hands, and gave Long Fei a deep sigh.
Bow: "Amitabha, General Long's poem is really the original meaning of Buddhism. I think I have not realized it after decades of worshiping Buddha. If the general worships Buddha, he will definitely be more accomplished than me."
"Miscellaneous praise, ridiculous praise!" Long Fei actually didn't know where this poem came from, but he had heard some of it when he was in school. It is said that it was written by the Sixth Patriarch of Buddhism. As for who the Sixth Patriarch was, he had no idea who the Sixth Patriarch was.
I know. When I read it at this moment, I heard the conversation between the two about the bodhi tree.
Shi Hui also hurriedly said: "General Long is truly a man of great enlightenment. There is probably no other Buddhist in the world who can match him!"
Long Fei was even more embarrassed. Because of this poem, the distance between the three of them became much closer. Kang Senghui looked at Long Fei as if he were a celestial being, while Shi Hui looked at Long Fei with emotion. The few of them returned to the living room, where a servant came to serve him.
Serve tea. After a few polite words, the conversation turned to Buddhist scriptures. Long Fei waved his hands hurriedly: "Boy, I know nothing about Buddhist scriptures. Those few sentences just now were purely accidental. I came here this time because I heard that the prefect likes to worship Buddha. I was here earlier.
I got something in Nian, but it’s useless wherever I put it, so I wanted to give it to the prefect.”
Xu Chu held a box and placed it in front of Shi Hui. Shi Hui opened it gently and was quite surprised when he saw it: "This... this is not what the two eminent monks from the Western Regions, Kasyapa Mateng and Zhu Falan, used when they came to Luoyang.
The Buddha statue carried by the white horse?"
Kang Senghui hurriedly stepped forward. There was a white jade figure carved in the box. It was a woman, beautiful in appearance, wearing colorful satin. One hand was holding a ribbon, and the other hand was placed on the chest like an orchid. At first, Long
Feibing didn't think there was anything special about this white jade statue, but after looking at it, he thought it looked like the Feitian in Mogao Grottoes, so he kept it. Today he suddenly came to Shihui's place. Hearing that Shihui believed in Buddhism, he brought it with him.
After looking at it, Kang Senghui hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, chanting Amitabha. Shi Hui also followed him in worshiping, making Long Fei and others not sure whether to worship or not.
According to legend, in the seventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to the Western Regions to pray for Buddhist teachings because of a night dream about a golden man. In AD 67, the Han envoys and two eminent monks from the Western Regions, Kasyapa Mateng and Zhu Falan, carried Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues on white horses.
Upon arriving in Luoyang, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty welcomed him personally. In AD 68, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered the construction of a monastery outside Yongmen in Luoyang. In order to remember the merits of the white horse carrying scriptures, it was named Baima Temple. This place is known as the "ancestral court" of Chinese Buddhism.
.
The jade statue that Long Fei took was one of the Buddha statues brought by two eminent monks from the Western Regions. I don't know how it came to be in Cao Cao's mansion. Long Fei visited Cao Cao's mansion at night and came here to steal it. This time he performed a miracle.
Shi Hui liked this gift very much. From that day on, Shi Hui often walked around with Long Fei. From Shi Hui, he learned that Shi Xie maintained a neutral attitude toward the war between Long Fei and Liu Bei, as long as Long Fei did not harass Jiaozhou
, Shi Xie would never send troops. However, his eldest brother Shi Zhuan and his third uncle Shi Wei had been encouraging Shi Xie to intervene in Jingzhou's affairs, thereby seizing Guiyang and Lingling to prepare for continued expansion into the Central Plains.
With Shi Hui as his "internal support", Long Fei's affairs in Jiaozhi went very smoothly. Once he figured out Shi Xie's trump card, he would be able to handle it with ease. In less than two days, after three talks with Shi Xie, the two sides had already reached an initial agreement.
Consistent. First, Long Fei will never send troops into Jiaozhou. Second, the two families will always form an alliance. If Jiaozhou is attacked, Long Fei will send troops to rescue. Third, open markets in Guiyang, Cangwu and other places to allow merchants from both sides.
Buy and sell freely.
When everything was ready and the alliance was about to be signed, Shi Zhuan suddenly returned to Jiaozhi from the South China Sea.
Note: Kang Senghui’s ancestral home is Kangju, he has lived in Tiantang Master for a long time, and he moved to Jiaozhi with his father to do business. He became a monk when he was more than 10 years old. In the tenth year of Wu Chiwu, he went to Jianye to build statues and practice Taoism. Sun Quan built the first temple for him, which is called this in history.
The beginning of the establishment of Buddhist temples in the south of the Yangtze River. Kang Senghui translated and compiled "Wu Pin" and "Six Perfection Sutras" in two parts and 14 volumes at the beginning of the construction of the temple. It also passed down the sound of Nihuan chanting, annotated "Anban Shouyi", "Dharma"
"Mirror" and "Tao Shu" three classics. In April of the fourth year of Wu Tianji, he died without illness in Jianchu Temple. Longhua Temple in Shanghai is the temple where Kang Senghui lives.
