Previously, Kumarajiva had been ambiguous about whether he would appear at Lu Guangshou's banquet and did not make a clear statement.
It's no wonder that if you go alone when someone invites you, it's tantamount to degrading your status. But if you keep talking to death, you will definitely offend Lu Guang, which is not a smart move.
At this time, his sudden appearance can still serve as a surprise. Although Kumarajiva's move is only a small trick, it is just right.
"Master!" Lu Guang stood up in person and led the crowd to welcome him. Although Kumarajiva has only given public lectures twice in the past few days, he is already known to everyone in Guzang, especially many who are doubtful.
People, many people who don’t believe in Buddhism, after listening to Kumarajiva’s sermons, turned into pious and fanatical people.
There is no way, it’s just that Kumarajiva’s own cultivation is profound, the key is that he has a pleasant appearance, and when he looks at that one, he squints his eyes slightly, he has such an independent style that others can’t learn from him.
As soon as Morosh opened his mouth,
His voice was mellow and fresh, his articulation was clear, and his rhythm was moderate, which made people feel like spring breeze. His explanations of Buddhist scriptures were also convincing and simple, so soon, Kumarajiva had a group of loyal believers in Guzang City.
This time he came at this time, just when Lu Guang was being stumped by Zhuge Xuan. As soon as everyone greeted Kumarajiva, they almost jumped over this issue. Duan Ye also thought in his heart that this was really the best.
way
The guests and hosts sat down and exchanged pleasantries. Kumarajiva wished him birthday and Lu Guang thanked him. Everything was done in a formal manner.
Naturally, an ignorant person like Zhuge Xuan told Kumarajiva about the sky stone and said: "Master, now that the sky stone has fallen to Liangzhou, this is a blessing for the country.
Bless you! Master, what is your opinion on this?"
Now it was like kicking the ball to Kumarajiva. Everyone craned their necks to see what Kumarajiva had to say. Even Lu Guang, who was all staring at Kumarajiva.
But Kumarajiva is a person who has seen big events, and of course he will not be stage frightened. He laughed loudly and said: "What Zhuge Benefactor said is true. This stone from heaven is naturally a blessing from God. It's not wrong."
Lu Guang asked with concern: "What kind of blessing is it for those who give blessings?"
"Hahaha" Kumarajiva smiled, "Your Excellency is in charge of the military and governance, so naturally the blessings will also be there."
"Is there room for improvement?" Lu Guang asked cautiously
As soon as this question came out, everyone pricked up their ears. What it means to go up a higher level here is too obvious. Lu Guang is now the governor. The governor is the highest local official representing the imperial court. And if you go up higher, of course, you will be brazenly self-reliant.
The reason why this issue attracts everyone's attention is not only because everyone attaches great importance to Kumarajiva's opinion, but also because at this time, to a certain extent, this is Lu Guang's own statement.
Because no matter what Kumarajiva says, Lu Guang has to have a response, and that response is the most important statement.
Kumarajiva did not answer directly, but took a deep look at Lu Guang and said, "Why do you want to be an official and a commander?"
"This is to repay your kindness and protect your family and country," Lu Guang said without thinking.
"Then what is your ambition?" Kumarajiva asked even faster
"The world is clear and peaceful, the river is clear and the sea is clear"
"Sir, how long do you think this world of chaos will last?"
"If no saint is born, I'm afraid it will last for a long time." Lu Guang looked worried and generous.
Kumarajiva nodded and said: "As Zhuge Changshi said, the heavenly stones naturally have the meaning of inheriting the destiny of the sky, but this is 'fate', whether it can be achieved depends on 'luck'
', fate or luck, ultimately the success will fail."
"How to have luck"
"Making the best of the situation, going with the trend, advancing and retreating in a measured manner" Kumarajiva said twelve words
Lu Guang thought deeply for a moment, then nodded with sincerity and said: "The master's words made Lu Mousheng study for ten years!" Lu Guang must have kept these twelve words of the master in his heart, and he will not forget them for a moment. "Jiu Mo
Luo Shi proclaimed the Buddha's name, just smiled and did not say anything else.
After this episode, Kumarajiva was naturally invited to take the seat, while others had to continue the process of congratulating Lu Guang on his birthday.
With Duan Ye's heavenly stone in front, other people's gifts, even if they were extremely thoughtful, would eventually fade a lot. The gifts from Lu Shao and Lu Zuan, if not for Duan Ye's sake, would actually be objectively speaking.
Not bad, but now, everyone just gives a few polite compliments. Everyone knows what it means.
Lu Zuan and Lu Shao's brilliance was all snatched away by Duan Ye. Although they appeared to be calm and composed on the surface, they were like people who drink water and know whether it is warm or cold.
But this Lu Hong is really interesting. When people give gifts, they are either precious or rare, or they have some meaning like Duan Ye to please Lu Guang. How can Lu Hong just give him a book?
At first, everyone was very curious. What is the book you sent me at this time? Could it be some kind of secret book? Duan Ye began to wonder in his mind, could it be a sword manual to ward off evil spirits?
When the book was put on the tray and presented to Lu Guang, Lu Guang did not open it, but touched the yellow cloth covering it and asked with a smile: "It's a book, hehehe, Hong'er, do you want me to write it for you?"
What book does dad read?"
Lu Hong said solemnly: "Father! This is the "Tao Te Ching" that the boy spent three days and three nights dictating word for word. Three years ago, my father once asked the boy to read the "Tao Te Ching" three times. In the past three years, the boy has been different.
Things are not done
, I am all reading this book, reading it day and night, never stopping, reading it more than three times? Now, the child can also recite it by heart, so today is a good day for his father, and the child uses this to celebrate his father's birthday.
!”
After saying this, everyone was a little surprised, because all this was really nonsense.
As we all know, the Tao Te Ching is clearly a work by Lao Tzu, which emphasizes quietness and letting nature take its course. In this day and age, it is of course very popular, but most of them are Taoists, hermits, and talkative people who like people who actually lead troops to fight and are really ambitious.
How many people who are striving for world supremacy would be interested in the Tao Te Ching?
But at this time, Duan Ye keenly noticed that Lu Zuan and Lu Shao's faces were a little ugly. Although Lu Guang was still smiling at this time, it was obvious that he was no longer smiling.
He lowered his head, patted the book gently with his hand, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Okay! It's rare that you have such a heart, so I'll accept it!"
"Thank you, father!" Lu Hong replied immediately before Lu Guang finished speaking. Then he lifted the skirt of his robe, stood up, saluted, turned around and walked towards his seat.
Now everyone was even more dumbfounded. If he had just given an inappropriate book as a birthday gift to his father, considering that everyone knew that Lu Hong was a little different from normal people, giving him such a
It's not that I can't understand it, it's just that he behaved differently again.
But the behavior of being disrespectful is different. At this time, etiquette is very important. There are very strict restrictions on how to deal with people, speak and do things, every word and action. Duan Ye once hated these very much, because in Duan Ye's view, some etiquette...
You are definitely causing trouble for yourself and making yourself uncomfortable.
But there is no way. Before Duan Ye is unable to control the situation, he can only choose to compromise and accept these red tapes. Otherwise, it will be difficult to even gain a foothold, let alone other things.
But at this time, Lu Hong had the confidence. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Lu Hong quickly walked to his seat, and then sat down calmly, regardless of other people's eyes.
What's even more surprising is that Lu Guang didn't say a word in response to such a rebellious move. He just shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and said nothing.
As for Lu Zuan and Lu Shao, they did not stand up and say anything. Fortunately, at this time, the next person who wanted to celebrate his birthday came up in time, which broke the awkward atmosphere. Lu Guang also quickly adjusted his mood and started
Accept the gift of your next son with a smile
Although except for Lu Shao and Lu Zuan, most of Lu Guang's sons are actually people with mediocre talents. Duan Ye seems to think that although they look well-dressed, they really look stupid.
But after all, they are Lu Guang's own children. At this time, Lu Guang behaved like a loving father and was still very kind to these sons.
After Lu Guang's relatives had finished presenting their gifts, the next step was naturally the other guests present. This process was very lengthy because there were too many people. Many of them had never seen Lu Guang, or had not had the opportunity to see them so close.
Some people are still nervous. When they speak, they are extremely awkward and stammered.
But today Lu Guang was naturally patient and listened to their mumblings, but Duan Ye didn't have the self-cultivation to look at these and make an assessment. After a while, Duan Ye naturally started to lose focus.
At this time, Duan Ye was very interested in what happened to Lu Hong just now. He intuitively believed that the previous relationship between Lu Hong and Lu Guang must not have been so harmonious, and it was probably Lu Guang who felt sorry for Lu Hong. Otherwise, according to his father's wishes,
According to Zigang, Lu Guang used this to show off to his father and Lu Guang killed Lu Hong. I am afraid no one would dare to say that he was wrong.
Lu Guang actually swallowed it and endured it. This can only show that Lu Hong's attack made Lu Guang feel guilty. Moreover, the expressions of Lu Zuan and Lu Shao just now were also very intriguing. It was obvious that they knew the inside story.
What could it be? Duan Ye actually intuitively thought of the incident between Tang Minghuang and Yang Guifei. Man, the great hatred is nothing more than the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of taking his wife. Now that his father is still there, if his father takes away him
