Chapter 164 The Vortex of the Struggle 1

Wang Xiu was finally able to relax, although he felt that the Holy Grace was declining, he had almost done what he should have done. If you want to go as you wish, even if you try to adapt to the environment, you have to pay a corresponding price.

He discussed with Shen Mo, and he took down a small store of the Shen family in the south of Guangbei Bridge as the first branch of Wang Ji Department Store.

That night, he came to Fan Lou alone, faced Qin Xianrong on the ground, and said to Mrs. Li: "Li Ganniang, I plan to redeem Xijun and let her take care of the storefront, I don't know if Li Ganniang is willing to cut her love." ”

Mrs. Li didn't expect Wang Xiu to redeem Wen Xijun, which of those romantic talents didn't abandon the chaos and treat the singers as playthings, and they really didn't spend a lot of money to redeem themselves. It's not right to say that they are redeemed, the singer is different from those camp prostitutes, the singer has a relatively independent identity, she doesn't sell her body to sell her art, she doesn't need to go to the military camp regularly to serve the soldiers, their value is much higher than her name, and even her own private money can buy back her official status.

The reason why they stay in major restaurants is nothing more than to earn pension money and seek a wishful husband, but these restaurant shopkeepers really don't have many means to keep them.

"Where do the officials say, the old woman is not the one who beats the mandarin ducks."

"That's good." Wang Xiu glanced at Qin Xianrong and said.

Qin Xianrong's face was without sorrow, joy, reason, and trace, and said lightly: "The thirteenth sister doesn't know yet, the officials have to say it themselves." ”

Wang Xiu's heart moved, and there was a faint sense of loss, Qin Xianrong was too calm, and the calm made him uncertain.

How can Mrs. Li take care of these, she is calculating how to get the maximum benefit, although Wen Xijun is well-known, but he has also recently sung Wang Ci, and he has also made a lot of money, and unlike a top singer like Qin Xianrong, it can be said that Wang Xiu has created the name of many singers, and according to common sense, Wang Xiu should be given face.

However, the businessmen are still divided into three, six, nine and so on, and if they are replaced by Wang Xiu, they will definitely wave their hands, and even buy a rich dowry. After all, Mrs. Li is a lot stingy, and her vision is also very limited, so she said hesitantly: "Big official, the thirteenth sister was raised by an old man since she was a child, and she looks closer than her own son, so she is really reluctant." ”

Qin Xianrong clenched his silver teeth, his face turned crimson, and his expression was so ashamed

Wang Xiu didn't care, if Mrs. Li didn't say these, then she wouldn't be in this business, and said with a smile: "Please also ask Li Ganniang to pay a ransom." ”

Mrs. Li was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be reluctant and said: "Hey, it is said that you shouldn't ask for those ransom money, but the rules in the industry can't be broken. ”

"Two thousand times." Qin Xianrong was taken aback, how could there be such a lion with a big mouth, when people are fat sheep

"Okay, two thousand times." Wang Xiu didn't hesitate, and he couldn't have any hesitation, but fell behind.

"Official." Qin Xianrong wanted to persuade Wang Xiu not to be the wrongdoer.

Before the words could be spoken, Mrs. Li glanced at Qin Xianrong, smiled with a chrysanthemum face, and said softly: "It's still a big official, and the old woman will go to get the official status." ”

Mrs. Li went out, and Qin Xianrong said resentfully: "The official is really willing to be blackmailed, but he still doesn't want to say more."

Wang Xiu didn't dare to look at Qin Xianrong, and smiled awkwardly: "It's only two thousand guan." ”

"Two thousand runs" Qin Xianrong looked at Wang Xiu and smiled faintly.

Wang Xiu was forced by Qin Xianrong's eyes, a little unbearable, and said slowly: "I owe her." ”

"Let's find a shopkeeper" Qin Xianrong was unceremonious, not giving Wang Xiu face at all.

Wang Xiu was stunned, Qin Xianrong, who has always been gentle like water, actually has a sharp side, and he can see through his plans in several aspects at a glance, he does have the plan to let Wen Xijun run the branch, and he also has the psychology of compensation, but these are all hidden in his heart and have not been told to anyone.

"Hypocrisy." Qin Xianrong glanced at Wang Xiu, and turned around lightly to go out.

Wang Xiu didn't speak, he stood in the room very calmly and thought, recalling Qin Xianrong's words, he was indeed very hypocritical, in order to get rid of the royal marriage, he did not hesitate to linger in the beauties and play the world.

It can be said that Qin Xianrong, Wen Xijun and other singers have become his props, and even Cai Yi was used by him, and in the end he not only achieved his goal, but also left some invisible benefits of future investment.

Suddenly, he felt very lost in his heart, all the while, Qin Xianrong was silently by his side, quietly playing the pipa, and silently paying attention to him. People are not grass and trees, how can he not feel it, at the moment when Qin Xianrong turned to leave, his heart has been a pain since he knew that Zhu Lian married into the royal family, and now it is a pain.

Am I really so hypocritical, am I changing?

Things went very smoothly, and he lent Wang Xiu 2,000 yuan very generously, all of which were repaid in installments in the payment for the goods.

Wen Xijun got his wish, and finally achieved the positive result, he was full of joy and tenderness, although he could not become a wife, and now he has no name, but he is just the shopkeeper of the Kaifeng branch of Wang Ji Department Store, but she is already satisfied, she can follow the man she loves, what else can she ask for at the age of sixteen to devote herself to the preparation of the branch.

Just when Wang Xiu was preparing to set up a branch, he was summoned by Zhao Ji to Yanfu Palace and directly intervened in the whirlpool of palace struggle.

It turned out that Lin Lingsu was very disgusted with Zhao Huan, he respected Zhao Kai as an immortal emperor among the immortals of Shenxiao Mansion, but he did not have the position of the crown prince Zhao Huan, in other words, Zhao Huan was not a Shenxiao immortal at all, and the taste was self-evident.

When Zhao Huan couldn't bear it anymore, the Buddhists in Kaifeng gave him strong support, and these monks invited monks who were proficient in magic to completely suppress Lin Lingsu.

The reason is very simple, in the first month of this year, Lin Lingsu's efforts to suppress Buddhism increased, and since the Tang Dynasty, Taoism has endured a bad breath in the face of the growing power of Shamen, and used the opportunity to completely eradicate Buddhism.

Zhao Ji is a pet believer in Taoism, the major Buddhist temples gather a lot of young and strong population, and the land is also extremely rich, only the Daxiangguo Temple has 30,000 acres of land in Gyeonggi, and he also has the intention of suppressing Buddhism to reap benefits, and he does not ask about the edict of 3721.

The Buddha changed his name to Dajue Golden Immortal, and the rest changed to the name of the immortal and the monk, and the monk changed his name to the monk, and he was not allowed to wear the monk's robe, and he no longer became a monk. The Buddhist temple was changed to the palace, the Zen temple was changed to the view, the abbot was changed to the palace view, all the monks were changed to the Taxi Division, the left and right streets were changed to the Moral Institute, the Taxi Division was subordinate to the Moral Institute, and Cai You was responsible for the unified responsibility, and the monks of the state capital of the world could all be renamed the Taxi Division.

As Wang Xiu and others said in idle chat, Zong Ze, the military state affairs of Dengzhou, was removed from the list and placed in charge because he was not pious in building the Shenxiao Palace.

In this way, Buddhism was played beyond recognition, and became the little brother of Taoism, or the kind of little brother raised by the stepmother who was bullied, and the children and grandchildren of Taoist disciples in various military states took the opportunity to encroach on Buddhist monasteries and property, and even nuns, which caused strong resistance from monks.

Prestigious monks and famous teachers of other sects appealed to the imperial court, and they also found Zhao Huan, since the official family affairs of the Daojun Emperor, asked the prince to make decisions for them, and promised to become a staunch supporter of the East Palace.

The crown prince Zhao Huan received the support of Buddhism and some great religions, and was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ji's belief in Taoism, so he took the opportunity to come forward to defend the monks. Just yesterday, Shang Song reprimanded Lin Lingsu for confusing the public with demon methods, and asked Zhao Ji to kill Lin Lingsu, in order to let Zhao Ji believe in Taoist witchcraft, he asked Zhao Ji to allow the monk to fight with Lin Lingsu, completely expose Lin Lingsu's deception and kill this bird.

Wang Xiu, as a bystander, watched this farce with interest. He understood that Lin Lingsu seemed to have gone a little too far, and Yan Zhan Zhòng underestimated the huge influence of Buddhism. Since the Tang Dynasty, Taoism is the state religion, but most of the emperors of the past dynasties believed in the Buddha, because Buddhism pays attention to the afterlife, Taoism says that in this life, it is obvious that Buddhism is more favorable to rule than Taoism, so that the influence of Buddhism rapidly expands among the people.

Today, in the minds of the middle and lower classes of society, the status of Buddhism is supreme, and Taoism is at a disadvantage. This wave of suppression of Taoism affected the Ming Sect and the Yuan Sect, and the Taoist priests wantonly bullied other sects, causing the people to panic and turmoil, and the strict zhòng affected the good situation of harmony and stability.

If you suppress it, you can suppress it, and you can take the opportunity to play the dead Buddhism, but you can't be so violent, and put several major sects and the aristocratic families in power in a basket, and there is no strategy at all, isn't it boring to find them They want to unite, I'm afraid that Zhao Ji will believe in your Mixed Yuan Emperor and Taishang Laojun again, and he will have to worry about secretly paying the ministers and maintaining the good flowers, rivers and mountains.

While he was disappointed and sighed at Lin Lingsu, he had to marvel at how wonderful this world was, Lin Lingsu didn't know what method he used, he spit out a mouthful of immortal rune water, turning into a five-colored cloud, and there were hundreds of crane shadows inside, flying around the Condensing Temple, which stunned him.

What kind of thing is this magic is impossible, and you can't play it in front of so many people in broad daylight, what kind of magic is this, is it a trick summed up by thousands of years of foreign pill magic here is too magical.

What amazed him the most was that Lin Lingsu asked to burn the fire cave, and when everyone changed color, he got into it, but he was not burned, and walked out calmly. This is beyond his imagination, the atheistic thought that was crumbling because of the soul crossing collapsed in an instant, and he had no way to use scientific theories to solve Taoist magic, he could only say that this world was too wonderful. "Your Majesty, since Wang Qing is a subordinate of the Taimen, Penglai Sanxian, he should also be able to fight with Shamen." The monk was completely coaxed, and no one dared to play with his life. Zhao Huan was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect it to be this kind of ending, he couldn't see it anymore, and suddenly saw Wang Xiu who was thoughtful on the side, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't get angry, and directly led the trouble to Wang Xiu. Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Xiu, some worried and gloating, and more of them were hanging high
