Chapter 84 Historical Orthodoxy
The Taoist, with Su Yang's reward, returned to the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan first, reported all this to the master, and then came to compile Taoist scriptures in the Western Garden.
Su Yang naturally allowed it.
When the Taoist master left, the main hall of Xiyuan became quiet. It was almost noon, and the auspicious scenery was in the middle. The scenery clouds were fainting, and the surroundings were bright. Su Yang led Jinse, and the two of them were walking in the Xiyuan. There were maids clearing the scene near them. Even if monks and Taoists were studying books here, Su Yang and Jinse were still in peace.
The western garden is evergreen all year round. Su Yang and Jinse come all the way and see willows weeping branches, flowers blooming, birds and swallows whispering. Although it is still winter, the yard is full of spring.
"But your heart has been fulfilled again!"
Jinse suddenly spoke as Su Yang walked slowly.
When Su Yang heard this, he knew that what Jinse said was about Shangguan Xianger. This morning, Shangguan Xianger came to visit Jinse. Jinse was naturally aware of this matter, so he smiled, pretended to be puzzled, and asked, "What does Empress mean?"
Seeing Su Yang pretending to be confused with his understanding, Jinse couldn't help but glance at him. The autumn waves were flowing, and it was hard to describe the brightness and gloriousness, and said, "You have a clear idea in your heart!"
Su Yang laughed and held Jinse's hand tightly.
Jinse was not very angry at first, but when Su Yang clenched her hands, she felt even more angry. She looked at the green water in the garden and looked at the koi in the water, leaning gently in front of Su Yang, and suddenly said, "The beautiful girl has all returned to the placement."
Before Su Yang took office, there were already people from all over the Daqian Dynasty who were promoting the selection of women. Before Su Yang ascended the throne, the officials of the Daqian Dynasty had already selected them in various places and sent them all. After Su Yang took office, they did not even see these women, so they directly asked Jinse to retreat them.
"Nothing happened, right?"
Su Yang asked.
Jinse sighed softly and said, "Many people were scolded by their families after they returned home. Some of the beautiful women were arrogant and had never seen the emperor. They committed suicide shyly, while others wanted to become monks and nuns, but in short, they were messy."
Su Yang also shook his head.
The Daqian Dynasty was just like the feudal dynasty of any era. Because the dynasty was vast, the people below could be highly self-sufficient. Therefore, whether it was exchanges or trade outside the Daqian Dynasty, it was full of laziness. Confucianism also maintained authority in the dynasty changes and could not accept any foreign ideas and systems.
Because of this idea, the dynasty will stagnate and progress, and will be invaded and trampled by foreign barbarians. However, this idea is also the idea that it can assimilate barbarians and promote unity.
Confucianism established a transnational relationship in various places and tribes of the dynasty.
But at the same time, this Confucianism also restricts ordinary people. Almost everyone was instilled with the emperor as the ruler and supreme, and thus made almost everyone's existence serve the royal family.
These girls and the people below may have missed a chance to reach the sky, but some people feel ashamed because they did not serve Su Yang.
Inertia and stubbornness are the cancers of Confucianism.
If Su Yang called to overthrow Confucianism now, all officials would kneel down the entire Fengtian Hall the next day, and then the entire Daqian Dynasty would be stopped. The scholars would petition for death, and the people would not understand it, because Confucian thoughts had penetrated into their bones. This kind of stubbornness could not be cut open with a sword.
"The Confucian status is really deeply rooted. After education is implemented, the people will become more and more sensible and their thoughts will be liberated."
Su Yang said that everything he does now is promoting "progress" to move the present to the future, and the basis of all this lies in the education of the people.
"Your ambition is to collect all the homeless ghosts in the world."
Su Yang held Jinse and said, "If the world does not change, this homeless ghost will continue to flow. When the world changes, your orphan garden will be closed."
The emergence of the underworld is to make up for the shortcomings of the yang world. If the yang world undergoes earth-shaking changes, it can be completely complete, good and evil are counted, everything has laws and regulations, the world is bright and clear, and even the underworld can be closed, as long as it is left with a place of reincarnation.
Jinse smiled and asked Su Yang: "According to what you said, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is about to become a Buddha."
Hell is not empty, and you will never become a Buddha.
This is the great wish of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. If the world changes and hell is empty, it is the time for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to become a Buddha.
Su Yang smiled and said, "After becoming a Buddha, all the extinction, nirvana will be destroyed, and nirvana will be ignored. The past sea of suffering in the world is just watching coldly. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cannot bear to see the lonely world, so he lives in the Bodhisattva position. With such divine power in the world, he will help sentient beings to overcome the sea of suffering in the future."
"If the world is pure and everyone is happy, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will be able to let go of this thought, and becoming a Buddha is a natural thing."
Whether it is the compassionate and merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva, or the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, their cultivation or state of mind, they have long been able to escape from the Bodhisattva position and become a Buddha and become a Buddha. However, after becoming a Buddha, they will be in vain and nirvana, and they will no longer have any worries and ignore human affairs, so they cannot let go.
If you cannot let go of sentient beings, you will not become a Buddha, and you will not be able to become a Buddha.
As long as Su Yang continues to follow his own pace and spread wisdom through education, the thoughts of the people in the Daqian Dynasty will change. In just ten years, the style of the entire dynasty will be completely renewed. In this way, one day, Su Yang will be the future Buddha. By then, both Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will be able to let go of sentient beings with peace of mind and become a Buddha in silence.
But when Su Yang conveyed his ideas, Maitreya Bodhisattva in Xifan was also learning Su Yang's thoughts, which became his own ideas and promoted them in order to compete with Su Yang for the future Buddha position.
Su Yang doesn't care about this. No matter what Maitreya Bodhisattva is doing, it will be the people who benefit. Only he wants to kill himself, Su Yang can't bear it...
He doesn't want to die.
Jinse smiled naturally and looked at Su Yang and said, "In this way, there is a Confucianism in the middle from the future you described. Ruyu is going to work harder in the Wheel-Running Palace."
After Yan Ruyu absorbed the books from the Wheel Palace, she could help Su Yang establish a new historical orthodox concept, so that the old and new eras could be separated.
The traditional Confucian historical concept will naturally be overturned, and everything from the old era can be swept into the garbage dump.
That was the arrival of a new era.
“There are still a few stumbling blocks.”
Su Yang hugged Jinse and said, "After the New Year, I will go to the underworld and visit my father-in-law."
Su Yang wants to ask what kind of historical responsibilities this destined emperor must bear.
