0186 Smell the Fragrance Sect

While Liu Pei was busy relocating the displaced people and children, some people were discussing secret matters in the mansion of Liujiatun in Yuncheng, Shandong. If the government knew what people were discussing, they would be scared to pee their pants.

The people below him were also dressed differently. A man dressed as a peasant is called Hou Five; The person dressed as a scholar is Shen Zhi; The person dressed as a businessman is Xia Zhongjin; A short-dressed person is Zhang Cambodia; The person who looks like Mr. Bookkeeper is Zhou Nian'an; The last merchant dressed up was Meng Xianhan.

Speaking of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, everyone may not be familiar with it, but if you mention the White Lotus Sect, you will be familiar with it. To say that this White Lotus Sect is really weird!

In the early days, the White Lotus Sect worshipped Amitabha Buddha, advocated chanting Buddha and keeping precepts, and stipulated that believers should not kill, steal, be evil, not lie, and not drink alcohol. It calls on believers to worship their ancestors and is a secret society that is half-monk and half-layman. Its doctrine is simple, and the Scriptures are relatively easy to understand. It is accepted by the lower classes, so it is often used as a tool for rebellion. This has caused a strange phenomenon: in the eyes of the world, the religion of the White Lotus Sect was anti-Tang in the Tang Dynasty, anti-Song in the Song Dynasty, anti-Yuan in the Yuan Dynasty, anti-Ming in the Ming Dynasty, and anti-Qing in the Qing Dynasty! However, due to the generally low level of leaders at the time of their rebellion, they never succeeded!

The anti-criminal record, so the White Lotus Sect is in the "Ming Law" to explicitly ban the "Left Evil Arts", since then the trend has fallen, has been repeatedly suppressed, and gradually began to split, forming dozens of branch sects, Wenxiang Sect is one of them. Since its creation, Wenxiang Sect has constantly changed its religious names, such as Mahayana Sect, Eastern Mahayana Sect, Mahayana Red Sect, Hongfeng Sect, Dacheng Sect, Good Friends Association, etc. Later, it was renamed the Tea Sect, and it was also commonly called the Qing Tea Sect or the Qing Tea Sect.

After joining the Church, if a believer can become a "master" or a higher level of religious leader, he can collect the money from the new disciple or the next level of religious leader, as well as other so-called "foundation money", "seed blessing money", "line money", and so on. Therefore, "missionary money" is also the fundamental reason why the founder, the Wang family, was able to change from a peasant and a small handicraft to a wealthy tycoon in one fell swoop, and took the risk of extinction to preach extensively.

However, Wang Sen was betrayed by his fourth apprentice, Li Guoyong, and was imprisoned for the second time in the 41st year of Wanli, and died in prison five years later. His son Wang Haoxian succeeded him as the head of the church, and Xu Hongru continued to preach after Wang Sen's legacy.

Spread the head to plan the uprising in order to win the world. Xu Hongru pursued peace, opposed the riots, and devoted himself to uniting various branch sects to reorganize the White Lotus Sect.

One of the evidences is that Xu Hongru was denounced by his parishioners before the uprising and had to revolt in advance. Moreover, after being denounced by the parishioners, he was able to calmly organize an uprising, which shows that the status of the denounced parishioners is not very high, and they should be grassroots parishioners. The fact that the followers at the grassroots level knew that they were going to revolt showed that the countdown to the preparations for the uprising had begun, which also showed that they were quite radical and active in the process of preparing for the uprising.

If Xu Hongru really opposed the riot as recorded in the history books, he would not be in such a hurry to add the yellow robe. And if he really has a sect leader in his heart, he should also support the sect leader Wang Haoxian, instead of claiming to be the emperor himself. It can be seen that he is just a tyrant who uses the blood of others to try to ascend to a high position.

It can be seen from this that the real opponent of the riot should be the sect leader Wang Haoxian. His death was just implicated by Xu Hongru. Come to think of it, wouldn't it be good to be a sect leader at home, collect some money from the parishioners below, and enjoy life! Why bother to engage in that kind of business that is easy to lose your head!
