Chapter 683 Spiral Development

When Tang Monk saw the young monk kneeling down and admit defeat, he raised his hand and held the other party up and said, "You have a connection with my Buddha. You can learn Mahayana Buddhism and listen to my scriptures."

"Amitabha." Fahai bowed gratefully, and walked to the front and sat down, continuing to listen to the sutras.

When the monks saw Fahai admit defeat, they thought to themselves that Yi Yazhi could become a Buddha? Of course, it would be possible, otherwise the stubborn stone would nod. If we use the question of "Can Yi Yazhi become a Buddha?" to ask a stone, the stone would nod and think it would be OK. This is the allusion of the stubborn stone nodding. In fact, it is to include Yi Yazhi to the scope of becoming a Buddha.

Just this? There was no big fight for three hundred rounds. The people expressed their disappointment. The holy monk should have fought with the young monk. Now that they are going to doze off again. However, Fahai listened very seriously. He also hoped that he could take buns and Buddha seriously one day as soon as possible. Asking for Buddha is asking for money, and asking for money is asking for Buddha.

Sun Wukong had indeed such an expression on his face. He knew that his master would definitely not have any problems, but this little monk had a little wisdom and felt that he would suffer some hardship in the future.

The 5,048 volumes of scriptures were talked about for several years, and Tang Seng also translated them for several years. Sun Wukong and his three disciples lived at Yunyao's house and also helped Yunyao work and measured a lot of canal data. For them, it was a small task, just to thank Yunyao for their hospitality.

Five years later, Tang Seng finally completed the translation and was about to go back to the West. In the past five years, he had not successfully saved anyone, but the content of the Yogacara school had been left behind and everything he could do was done.

Three months after Tang Monk left, Empress Changsun and Emperor Taizong of Tang died one after another. In the 33rd year of Zhenguan, it can be said that the King of Hell wanted to die in the third update and dared not leave anyone until the fifth update. The Emperor's life span is also fixed, and it cannot be changed casually.

Prince Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, changed his yen name to Yongzhi, continued the legacy of the emperor, developed the canal industrial belt, and reused the Industrial Upgrade Bureau.

Later, Wu Meiniang participated in politics and became the representative of young scholars with her reputation accumulated by writing books. She united a large number of officials to form new forces and vaguely competed with the princess.

Li Chengqian believed in Yunyao very much before he became an emperor, but after becoming an emperor, he had to consider himself. He supported Wu Meiniang to check and balance the princess in order to make his voice play a decisive role. If the princess blindly becomes bigger, the emperor's orders are not as useful as the princess' orders, then that would be too cowardly. Li Chengqian did not want to be a cowardly emperor, so he had to use the technique of weighing and strengthen his influence through checks and balances.

Wu Meiniang did not waste the opportunity and immediately showed her amazing talent, becoming Li Chengqian's profitable general, and becoming the sharpest weapon against the princess.

Li Chengqian was reigned for 28 years. During this period, two women were playing big dramas on stage. There was one emperor in the entire court, but three cores. The emperor, Wu Meiniang and Princess Zhu Yun, maintained a balance. Although the political views were different, the three were constantly promoting industrial upgrading.

The canal industrial belt has also been initially completed in the past 30 years, and the war has also ignited again. After the small countries have cultivated their spirits, they are ready to move again. Anyway, for small countries, they will make money even if they lose when they fight against big countries. Because the Tang Dynasty has been guiding funds back from big cities to various places in recent years, many borders have established good trading cities, and they can make a lot of money by grabbing one wave.

At the same time, there are more threats from the sea surface. Pirates will inevitably appear in prosperity. Although the scale of pirates is not large now, the flames have been ignited. Pirates are also an important part of marine trade. It can even be said that pirates are the gateway to marine trade, they are the ones who buy money and help people monopolize trade.

Although the Tang Dynasty was developing, there were still many problems in all directions.

After Li Chengqian's death, the balance of the three-legged tripod was broken. Wu Zetian first attacked and launched a fierce attack on the princess with lightning speed.

For a time, there was a tense inside the Tang Dynasty. Scholar officials represented by the warrior Tian launched a fierce showdown against noble officials represented by the princess.

The aristocratic class will eventually join the literati class, because with the development of printing technology, the cost of books will be lower and lower, more and more people can accept learning, and more and more talents will be selected through the imperial examination. The number of literati will completely crush the nobles, and if you can't beat them, you can join. This is helpless.

Even if the nobles do not give up, they still hope that Li Shimin's daughter can lead them to maintain the dignity of the nobles, which is impossible.

Since the Li Shimin era, the theory of heaven has been established, and the problem of "love is different" that Confucian ethics has never been solved. The principle of heaven has established another system for Confucianism with the same origin, taking reason as the foundation and qi as the branch, emphasizing "love is different", but "love comes from one source", emphasizing that benevolence is not only human nature, but also the principle of heaven.

The scholars and officials already have the theoretical basis to challenge the nobles. Although the value of the scholars and officials is different from that of the nobles, the benevolence of the two is the same, and the nobles are not more noble than the scholars and officials.

Yun Yao, as the representative of the nobles, knew very well that the only thing a noble could do was accept reality, because the literati would not use conspiracies to deal with the nobles. They just used open conspiracies. Wu Meiniang's camp would become larger and larger, while the aristocratic camp would become weaker and weaker.

Of course, there is no way to verify the principles of nature, so the later scholar-official class will naturally ignore classics and focus on pure talk, and talk more about their own understanding of the principles of nature, rather than quoting classics and classics. This is also the reason why the literati and officials of the Qing Dynasty later opposed the Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming dynasties. In addition, there were literary inquisitions in the Qing Dynasty, so the scholar-officials stopped talking about the principles of nature and continued to study the classics.

In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was very popular, and a book of scriptures had various explanations. In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Qing Dynasty became mainstream. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were similarities to the Spring and Autumn Period. Although there were no hundreds of schools of thought, there were also three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism that competed for hegemony. In the Song and Ming Dynasties, history was repeated again, and it followed the old path from the Han to Jin, and eventually developed into Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, it returned to the Han Dynasty, and it seemed that history was about to begin to reincarnate again.

Is it important to be the scriptures or to be the insights? The stage of development of a class is definitely the scriptures, because you need to find your own basis. Once you have firmly established your foothold, you will no longer find any basis and you can talk about your insights.

This is just like the science of success. When a person develops, he will work hard to study the ways to make money. When he makes enough money, he will start to share his successful experience with everyone.

To learn classics or talk about classics, you must do it. If you want to develop, you must start talking about classics. After development, you can start talking about it, which can be regarded as getting rid of the real and going into the virtual. After all, it is very tiring to quote classics and classics, and it is easy to share insights. Moreover, it is impossible to continue to develop through citation classics and classics. If you want to develop again, you must deconstruct and add fresh content.

Every time you want to dig out the classics, you must dig into Confucius and Mencius. The most classics of Qingshu are naturally Zen Buddhism and Wang Yangming's mind study. When watching flowers in the mountains, the flowers are not in the mountains but in the heart. The classics and Qingshu develop repeatedly and spiral.
