    When Tang Monk saw the young monk kneeling down and admitting defeat, he raised his hands to lift him up and said, "You are destined to be my Buddha. You can learn Mahayana Buddhism and listen to my scriptures."

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

    When the monks saw Fa Hai admitting defeat, they thought, can one become a Buddha even with just one Chanti?  Of course you can, otherwise you wouldn't be able to nod your head. If you ask a stone the question "Can Yichanti become a Buddha?", the stone will nod and think it's okay. This is the allusion of the stone nodding. In fact, it means that Yichanti can become a Buddha.  Ti also includes the scope of becoming a Buddha.

    That's it?  No fight for 300 rounds?  The common people expressed their disappointment. The holy monk should have had a fight with the little monk. Now, they are going to doze off again.  However, Fahai listened very seriously, and he also hoped that one day he could regard Baozi and Buddha as the same thing. Praying for Buddha means praying for Baozi, and praying for Baozi means praying for Buddha.

    Sun Wukong had such an expression on his face that he knew that the master would be fine, but the young monk had some wisdom and felt that he was going to have some hardships in the future.

    The five thousand and forty-eight volumes of scriptures have been spoken for several years, and Tang Monk has also translated them for several years. Sun Wukong and his three disciples lived in Yunyao's house, and also helped Yunyao work, and measured a lot of canal data. For them, it was  It's just a matter of effort, just thank Yunyao for the hospitality.

    Five years later, Tang Seng finally completed the translation and was going back to the West.  In five years, he has not succeeded in converting anyone, but the contents of the Consciousness-only Sect have been preserved, and he has done everything he can.

    Three months after Tang Monk left, Empress Changsun and Emperor Taizong died one after another. In the thirty-third year of Zhenguan, it can be said that the King of Hell wanted people to die at the third watch but did not dare to keep them until the fifth watch. The human emperor's lifespan was also fixed, and it was not just random.  Can be changed.

    Prince Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne and changed his reign to Yongzhi. He continued the legacy of the late emperor, developed the canal industrial belt, and reused the Industrial Upgrading Department.

    After that, Wu Meiniang joined politics and became the representative of young scholars by virtue of her reputation as a scholar. She united a large number of officials to form a new force and secretly competed with the princess.

    Li Chengqian believed in Yunyao before becoming emperor, but after becoming emperor, he had to think about himself. He supported Wu Meiniang to check and balance the princess in order to make his voice play a decisive role.  If the princess keeps getting bigger, the emperor's orders will not be as useful as the princess's orders, which would be too cowardly.  Li Chengqian did not want to be a useless emperor, so he must use the art of balance to enhance his influence through checks and balances.

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

    Li Chengqian reigned for twenty-eight years. During this period, two women were performing the show. There was one emperor in the entire court, but there were three cores.  The emperor, Wu Meiniang, and Princess Zhu Yun maintain a balance. Although they have different political opinions, all three of them are constantly promoting industrial upgrading.

    The canal industrial belt has also initially completed its layout in the past thirty years. At the same time, the flames of war have also been ignited again. After the small countries in the four directions have regained their energy, they are ready to move again. Anyway, for small countries, even if they lose against a big country, it will be the same.  Make money, because Datang has been guiding the flow of funds from big cities to various places in recent years, so many good trading cities have been built on the borders, and you can make a lot of money just by grabbing a wave.

    At the same time, threats from the sea have also increased. The prosperity of maritime trade will inevitably lead to the emergence of pirates. Although the scale of pirates is not large now, the flames have been ignited.  Pirates are also an important part of maritime trade. It can even be said that pirates are the gateway to maritime trade. They pay for passage and help others monopolize trade.

    Although Datang is developing, there are still many problems in all directions.

    After Li Chengqian died, the balance of the three pillars was broken. Wu Zetian was the first to attack and launched a lightning-fast and fierce attack on the princess.

    For a time, there was a tense situation within the Tang Dynasty. The scholar-officials represented by Warrior Tian launched a fierce duel against the aristocratic officials represented by the princess.

    The aristocratic class will eventually join the scholar-bureaucrat class, because with the development of printing, the cost of books is getting 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 nobles will completely overwhelm the nobles. If they can't defeat them, they will join. This is a helpless thing.

    Even if the nobles don't give up and hope that Li Shimin's daughter can lead them to maintain the dignity of the nobles, they still can't do it.

    The theory of Tianli has been established since the time of Li Shimin, which solved the problem of "differential love" that Confucian ethics has never been able to solve. Tianli established another system for Confucianism in which all things are one, with principle as the foundation and Qi as the branch.  Emphasizing that 'there are differences in love', but 'love comes from the same source',It emphasizes that benevolence is not only human nature, but also natural law.

    The scholar-officials already have the theoretical basis to challenge the nobles. Although there is a gap in wealth between the scholar-officials and the nobles, their benevolence is the same. The nobles are not more noble than the scholar-officials.

    As a representative of the aristocracy, Yunyao knew very well that the only thing the aristocrats could do was to accept the reality, because the scholar-bureaucrats would not use intrigues and tricks to deal with the aristocrats, they would use scheming. Wu Meiniang's camp would become bigger and bigger, and the aristocrats' camp would get bigger and bigger.  Getting weaker and weaker.

    Of course, there is no way to verify such things as the principles of heaven, so the scholar-officials in the future will naturally despise the classics and emphasize talk, and talk more about their own understanding of the principles of heaven instead of citing the classics.  This was also the reason why the scholar-officials in the Qing Dynasty later opposed Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties. In addition, there was a literary prison in the Qing Dynasty, so the scholar-officials stopped talking about natural principles and continued to study classics.

    The study of Confucian classics was very popular during the Han Dynasty, and a classic book had various interpretations.  By the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, chatting became the mainstream.  The Sui and Tang dynasties were similar to the Spring and Autumn Period. Although there were no hundreds of schools of thought contending, there were still three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism competing for hegemony.  In the Song and Ming dynasties, history repeated itself again, following the old path from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, and eventually developed into Qingtan.  After the Qing Dynasty, we returned to the Han Dynasty, and it seemed that history was about to reincarnate again.

    ??In the end, which is more important, the scriptures or the insights?  In the development stage of a class, scriptures are definitely important, because they have to find their own basis. Once they have established a firm foothold, they will no longer look for any basis and can talk about their insights.

    This is the same as the study of success. When a person develops, he will study hard to make money. When he makes enough money, he will start to share his successful experience with everyone.

    The study of Confucian classics is still just talk. If you want to develop, you must engage in the study of classics. After the development is completed, you can start talking about it.  After all, quoting scriptures is very tiring, but sharing insights is easy, and it is impossible to continue to develop if you keep quoting scriptures. For secondary development, you must deconstruct and add fresh content.

    Whenever you want to dig into the classics, you must go to Confucius and Mencius.  The most classic ones for casual conversation are of course Zen Buddhism and Wang Yangming¡¯s philosophy of mind. When you look at flowers in the mountains, the flowers are not in the mountains but in your heart.  The study of Confucian classics and Qingtan talk developed repeatedly and spirally.

    Yunyao knew that the nobles would fail sooner or later. Even if she could extend the lives of the nobles in the mortal world, she would leave sooner or later, and then the nobles would be playing tricks on her.  So instead of disappearing meaninglessly, it is better to leave a little pressure and let the scholar-bureaucrats slowly turn to talk.
