Chapter 5276 The battle between Buddhism and Taoism for friend points
Lu Gu sighed softly: "Forget it, whether it's fate or destiny, maybe such a thing does exist. It's your business to believe in this, but I believe that my fate is up to me and not to God. Only
The most reliable thing is to hold your destiny in your own hands. I will not believe in the theory of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds in this life and practicing without any desire. I only want to make achievements and become famous in history. This is the same as when I was a teenager.
Our original intention has not changed. Therefore, after crossing the south, our Lu family still wanted to take the road of becoming officials and taking power as much as possible. It was just that we crossed the south of the Yangtze River too late. If we had followed Wen Qiao south earlier instead of going to Liaoxi, it would not have been possible.
As for that."
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "Your family is reluctant to part with the wealth and property in the north, and you still want to cooperate with the Hu regime. Ah, you shouldn't have such a vision."
Lu Gu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Our conversations when we were young were so high-spirited because we have not reached that position, where one decision can determine the rise and fall of a family that has lasted for hundreds of years. I did ask my grandfather and father
It would be better to imitate the Wang family of Langya and move south with your family, and you can also become a minister of Conglong in the new dynasty. But at that time, the Sima clan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have a firm foothold in Jiangnan. Secondly, Sima Rui and
He was not the heir to the throne designated by the last emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty, but a separatist force who established himself as the emperor with the title of prime minister and general of the world's soldiers. There was also Liu Kun in the north at that time. If he could stand in the north and support another Sima
His clan may not be worse than Sima Rui."
Huiyuan nodded: "Yes, there was Sima Mo in Guanzhong at that time, and later Emperor Min of Jin. Liu Kun wanted to support the Sima clan's regime in Guanzhong. Unfortunately, he failed in the end. Your Lu family stands behind
On Liu Kun's part, it can't be considered a mistake at that time. It's just that he didn't bet on the right thing. Amitabha, these are God's will and calamity, how can we mortals understand it?"
Lu Gu said in a deep voice: "I don't believe in God's will. I only believe that God's will can be changed. What our Taoists say is that you can cultivate immortality and naturally change the world. You gave up on these concepts after you escaped into Buddhism.
, but I still persisted. Baoyu, the facts have proved that I succeeded. You may have become a Buddhist master and a famous monk in the world, but you are just guarding a temple with a radius of less than ten miles and only a few hundred disciples. Even if it is
If a county magistrate wants to destroy you, it only takes one word. In the troubled times we have experienced, those savage and ferocious barbarians, as well as the soldiers and bandits everywhere, can destroy the leaders of hundreds of people.
I won your Donglin Temple, I’m not wrong about that.”
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "You are right, but why don't you think about why my master, my master, was able to survive in that troubled world, and became a national master, and even an emperor like Shi Hu had to obey his words?
Where is the famous monk?"
Lu Gu said disapprovingly: "On the surface, it is because the Hulu monarch needs to borrow your master's prophecy to become the national master. But in fact, it is your Buddhism that promotes this kind of karma and karma, asking people to give up resistance and settle for peace."
Destiny means that even if you live a miserable life in this life, you will receive blessings in the next life. This statement is used to reduce and eliminate the resistance of the Han people. It is also used to restrain the killings of Hu soldiers by saying that murder and evil will be punished. In this way,
To achieve the stability of the regime.”
Huiyuan nodded: "This is just one reason. The more important point is that Buddhism is a foreign religion, a brand-new doctrine, which is different from the inherent Confucianism, Taoism, Yin-Yang School and other doctrines in the Central Plains.
Religion, the Hu people are foreign. If they fully accept the Central Plains, the people below may not accept it. Therefore, using Buddhism, which is also foreign, as the state religion, while retaining the beliefs and religions of the Han people, can eliminate the Hu-Han culture at that time.
A good way to resolve conflicts.”
Lu Gu sneered and said: "Yes, but even when our Lu family was in the north, we did not accept Buddhism. We can accept becoming Shi Zhao's ministers. In the future, we will have the opportunity to overthrow them and expel the Hulu. This is what we are sure of.
, because the Hulu military advantage cannot be maintained for a long time. Once the force is no longer used, then we Han people can rely on the advantage of numbers to destroy them. At that time, we believed that even Liu Kun and his descendants could do this, even if
We later joined Shi Zhao as officials, and we also believed that one day, the Han people would regain the world."
"Therefore, we must maintain our Han people's beliefs. Confucianism, Lao-Zhuang, and Taoism are the foundation of our existence. Not only can we not lose it ourselves, but we must also let the sons and nephews of the Hu nobles learn these, so that they will admire the Han style for a long time.
In the end, they were willing to convert to the Han people. The former Qin Dynasty like Fu Jian did this, so it was possible to unify the north for a time. We were more unlucky. We had a bloodthirsty demon like Shi Hu, who brought trouble to the world, and the follow-up Ran Min
He is also a reckless fool who only cares about killing and not burying people, and only knows how to fight and not produce. This is why our Lu family cannot gain a foothold in the north."
Speaking of this, Lu Gu let out a long sigh and murmured: "Actually, when my grandfather was in Shizhao, he went to Guozi to learn sacrificial wine. He ignored high-ranking officials such as Shangshu Ling, but he went to serve as this sacrificial wine, just because he wanted to
It is necessary to educate the children of the Hu people's aristocrats, let them learn the culture and theories of our Han family, and realize that killing and looting like the Hu people is evil, incorrect, and cannot last long. In the future, these Hu people's nobles can be transformed into
We Han people are the same, but it is a pity that this process could not continue. If Fu Jian was the ruler at that time, the result would be completely different. Maybe today, we have unified the world."
Huiyuan said calmly: "This is impossible. The fusion between Hu and Han, the blood feud and differences between them cannot be made up in just a few decades. Even Liu Yuan, the Hun, is a famous person in the world, but
Among the ordinary tribesmen, who has the same level of Sinology as him? In the end, didn't Liu Yuan ascend to the throne and shout that all the five tribes of the Xiongnu were rebels? After all, even among ordinary people of the Han people, there are a few who can read and write.
Woolen cloth?"
Lu Gu proudly stroked his white beard and said: "Our cultural heritage of the Han family, especially Confucianism and Taoist metaphysics, all talk about origin and family status. Confucianism talks about the hierarchical system and everyone's destiny.
And this destiny is determined when a person is born, and it is difficult to change throughout his life. When we were young, we were able to hang out with classmates and meet in the capital instead of farming for a living in our hometown. Isn’t it because we come from official families?
Is it a gentry? I used to support and admire this system very much, but it wasn’t until the Eastern Jin Dynasty that things changed.” (End of Chapter)
