In the Duke's Mansion of Qi, after listening to the news delivered by the servant, Changsun Wuji said: "I didn't expect that the last person to show up was Fa Lin."
Changsun Chong frowned and said: "It is said that Master Falin is an eminent monk who is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. I didn't expect that he would be compared to a child."
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said: "Do you really think that Fa Lin will lose to a ten-year-old boy? He just doesn't want to be known as a bully, and he also uses this to show his kindness to Zhenren Sun."
Changsun Chong became even more confused and said, "Then why did he block the door?"
Changsun Wuji sighed: "People can't help themselves in the world."
Changsun Chong seemed to understand, but seeing that his master had no intention of elaborating, he did not ask further.
…
In Su Guogong's mansion, Cheng Yaojin listened to the details of the incident. He smiled and said to himself: "Fa Lin is a smart person. After being used as a weapon, she simply took advantage of the opportunity to establish contact with Zixiaoguan."
"I just don't know how those people who are waiting to see the joke will feel. I think it will be fun."
…
At Duke Yi's Mansion, Qin Jia said happily: "Da Lang, Yan Dao must have established a friendship with that little real person, and your illness can be cured."
Qin Qiong also had a smile on his face, but then he said with shame: "It is really unbecoming of a gentleman to take advantage of a young master in this way. If Yan Dao is not young enough to support the family, I would rather die than do this."
Qin Jia comforted him: "We have to do this as a last resort when things are urgent. I believe Xiao Zhenren will understand. In the future, wouldn't it be enough to let Yan Dao Haosheng meet Xiao Zhenren and become true friends?"
Qin Qiong said helplessly: "That's all I can do. Tell Yandao that he must repay Xiao Zhenren well in the future. If I knew that he had done something sorry for Xiao Zhenren, I, Qin Qiong, would not have a son like him."
…
Wei Chigong, the Duke of Wu, frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "It seems that letting Xun Yu make friends with Zi Xiao Guan is the right move."
Yuchi Baolin also agreed: "If you dare to argue with Fa Lin, this Chen Zhenren is also a very good person. Xun Yu's friendship with him is indeed not a bad thing."
Yuchi said respectfully: "Qin Yandao is here too. It seems that Brother Shubao has the same idea as us."
Yuchi Baolin thought for a while and said: "I thought Duke Yi Guo asked Yandao to befriend Xiao Zhenren because he wanted to please Sun Zhenren. The saint asked him for a prescription from Sun Zhenren. I heard that his condition improved after using it.
It’s getting better.”
"Is this happening?" Yuchi Gong was surprised at first, and then said happily: "Zhenren Sun is a miracle doctor. If Brother Shubao's health can improve, I won't have to support myself in the court."
Everyone has a circle, not to mention that there are many factions in the court.
Because of his background and personality, Yuchi Gong was a semi-lone minister, with no allies to help him.
When Li Shimin attacked Luoyang, his comrades suspected that he wanted to rebel, so they tied him up and killed him. Fortunately, Li Shimin trusted him and survived.
This shows how poor his interpersonal relationships are, but because of this he has gained Li Shimin's trust.
On the eve of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin first thought of him when he wanted to rebel, and asked him to bring his sword to call Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to come over.
Why do you need to bring a sword to "please"? There is no need to explain the reason.
When Li Shimin came to the throne, he was often slandered by people because he had no allies to support him. Later, he established an alliance with Qin Qiong and his life became easier.
For this reason, the two families also decided to marry. Yuchi Gong promised his only granddaughter to Qin Qiong's legitimate son Qin Yandao, making the alliance more stable.
But the good times did not last long. Qin Qiong's health soon began to suffer, and he was basically in a state of semi-retirement. But as long as he was alive, many people would give him face, and Yuchi Gong could also find someone to discuss important matters.
So Yu Chigong was very concerned about his health, and now that he knew there were signs of improvement, he was naturally very happy.
He immediately said: "Tell Xun Yu that he must cooperate with Yan Dao and strive to become friends with Master Chen as soon as possible."
…
Fang Xuanling, the Duke of Wei, fell into deep thought when he saw the "Three Questions and Three Me" sent back by his servant. He was a famous prodigy, well-read in classics and history, proficient in Confucian classics, and also dabbled in Taoism.
He could see the essence of the 'Three Questions', but what surprised him even more was that the 'Three I's' had become a common refrain.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "There is another sect of Taoism, and it is already on the verge of great development. I just don't know where Confucianism should go."
…
Li Chunfeng and Cheng Xuanying got together again, talking about metaphysics while waiting for news from Zixiao Temple.
Soon a disciple hurried back and recounted the situation in detail.
When they heard that the Forbidden Army and Wannian County government officials were dispatched, they couldn't help but nodded. Your Majesty really valued Sun Zhenren and directly sent the Forbidden Army to escort him.
When he heard that Fa Lin was coming in person, Li Chunfeng laughed and said: "Buddhism can't stand still anymore, but I never thought they could ask Fa Lin to take action."
Cheng Xuanying smiled and said: "I'm afraid they will be disappointed. Unless it involves the life and death of Buddhism, Master Falin and them are not of the same mind."
Li Chunfeng smiled and nodded. A group of people who read the Sutra of Death and one person who is determined to use Chinese thought to interpret the Sutra can only have one mind.
"But since Master Falin has gone, he will definitely not let go. I don't know how Master Sun will respond."
After the disciple relayed the "Three Questions to Three Me" to them, both of them were shocked and couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
Cheng Xuanying spoke first: "Before, I only heard that Sun Zhenren was a master of Taoism and had a profound knowledge of Taoist classics. But because not a single word was leaked out, I always had doubts in my heart."
"Today, we know that there are no deceptive people under the great reputation. Zhenren Sun's understanding of Tao is already ahead of us. Alas, I only regret that I was not there at the time, otherwise I would have asked him in person."
Li Chunfeng also nodded with deep understanding and said: "If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster. Once I come out with the three questions and three questions, Zhenren Sun will be famous all over the world and become a great master."
Not surprisingly, the two of them attributed the idea of "three questions and three self" to Sun Simiao. Not only them, but most people also thought so.
There is no way around it. It is too shocking for a ten-year-old boy to make a statement about his family. It is beyond the scope of genius and no one wants to believe it.
…
In the palace, when Li Shimin saw Three Questions and Three Me, he was naturally very surprised and asked: "Guanyin Maid, do you think this was created by Master Sun or Jing Ke?"
Changsun Wugou was also surprised, but she had another opinion: "I thought it was neither. Erlang, don't forget those strange medical skills. These things are probably learned from Jing Ke's family."
Li Shimin slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, how could I forget such an important thing? It seems that his hometown not only has superb medical skills, but also has in-depth research in learning."
When he said this, his heart moved and he said, "Do you think it is really possible for him to complete the merger of the three religions?"
