Section 225 Two Birds, Down
"It's more than cleverness!"
Tao Daxian sighed: "In order to achieve the goal, Buddhism took Su Hui with Su Hui when the ninth great good man was reincarnated, so he was born extremely intelligent, and he became famous as a young man, and the scenery was infinite. Buddhism also deliberately arranged for him to be born in the Cangzhao family. Although the Cangzhao family is just an ordinary person, the poor and poor of the past generations are also hundreds of years of people who adhere to compassion and righteousness, rescued and sheltered many people in the war, and inadvertently accumulated great merits. β
In order to make Zhao Gonglian more beautiful and more confident in this life, he dared to let go of the chaos when he was a big official, and Buddhism also arranged for many skilled craftsmen to be reincarnated as Zhao Zhuang people, so that Zhao Zhuang could get rich and develop by himself, and when Zhao Gonglian grew up to be a teenager and succeeded, he began to dream of winning the officialdom under the expectations of the family, and when he urgently needed help, he immediately had the most important economic power base. This is also the reason why the Cangzhao family can be so dazzling in business operations. β
In Zhao Ji's contemplation or admiration, Tao Daxian sighed: "Buddhism does this, but it is also in accordance with the will of heaven, and it does not violate the general trend of heaven. β
"Under the way of heaven, the Cangzhao family, which has accumulated good for hundreds of years, should be rich and prosperous for once."
"And if the Ninth Great Benevolent wants to attain perfection, he should go through more difficult and complicated tests in the most critical tenth life."
"How can it be so easy to turn from ordinary to supreme immortal. Zhao Gonglian entered the officialdom to be a big official, doing big things and doing great deeds, involving the extremely complex interests of all living beings, if he is clear and good in this life, it is because his virtue and will are still flawed, and the number of good fortunes is not enough, and he has no chance of heaven. On the other hand, if he succeeds, the great deeds he has accomplished will also be the cornerstone of his noble position in the heavenly realm. With great merit in the body, the gods and demons of the Ten Thousand Worlds can have a true awe and admiration for this good man of the tenth world. Otherwise, even if the gods and demons dare not question the way of heaven, they will feel that the way of heaven is unfair. After all, the heavenly realm is also respected by power and merit. If you don't have something you can get your hands on, how can you convince the gods with only the protection of the Heavenly Dao? β
That is to say, although the Buddha's intentions are not good, only for the Buddha's own interests, they can be called reasonable, just like the image erected by their lay disciples, disciples, and grandchildren in the world. The gods and demons understood in their hearts, but there was nothing to say. And my Taoist sect is also worried about this great good man, and he will become a god after attaining enlightenment, but his intention is not clear. After all, this person is not close to this religion, let alone believes in this religion, he has his own set of beliefs and persistence, only according to his own beliefs, once he succeeds in soaring, I am afraid that it may not harm the interests of Taoism. Therefore, when I taught this person to be reincarnated in the tenth life, I did not intervene, I did not touch this great cause and effect, and let the Buddhism do what it did, and it was also in accordance with the will of Heaven to let this person undergo a greater test and abide by the general trend of Heaven. β
When Tao Daxian said this, he stared at Zhao Ji meaningfully and said slowly: "This Zhao Gonglian is a mortal, but he is an extraordinary mortal, not comparable to others. β
"His life is very important to him, and he has a natural future. My patriarch should also be courteous to him, and give up three points in everything. If you are defeated, you are not like other people, it is nothing more than re-entering the cycle of reincarnation, you still have the opportunity to be a human being, and you can still work hard to create a great good person in the world. The way of heaven does not allow a person to have the opportunity to repeatedly impact the perfect avenue. For all intelligent beings, there is only one chance. Otherwise, that's not fair. It will also destroy the order set by the authoritative laws of the Heavenly Dao. β
The gods and demons know that there is such a convenient way to become the supreme god, if you can repeatedly impact like this, there will be more success, and the sky is full of this kind of god, then it is not an auspicious good thing, but a great disaster. Heavenly Dao wants to protect and take care of so many gods, I am afraid that Heavenly Dao will be annoyed to death if it is unintentional and ruthless.
Standing at the top of the pyramid will always be the few.
In Zhao Ji's complete understanding and approval, Tao Daxian's voice became faint and said: "As for whether Zhao Gonglian will succeed in cultivating the tenth generation of good people, I can't figure it out." It is difficult to say whether he will be harmful to His Majesty's country or not, and it is impossible to predict in advance. β
"Big things count. The personal actions of mortals cannot be accurately measured. People are alive, and their minds are changeable. β
"Abandon theism and look at reality. Zhao Gonglian's actions obviously prove that he is also very firm in his adherence to loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. However, a mortal, as an official, he is no different from other officials, whether he is loyal or helpful, or becoming a traitor or a danger, it depends on how His Majesty treats him. β
Zhao Ji nodded.
Officials, if I treat him well, I will naturally be able to win him into loyalty, and if I treat him badly, he will naturally be resentful, and if he refuses to be loyal, he will most likely have bad intentions.
But Zhao Ji asked again: "Won't he become an ambitious but good at disguise traitor in this life?" β
"What do you have to do when you are a great traitor?"
Tao Daxian smiled: "It's nothing more than power and pleasure." Zhao Gonglian risked suffering in Cangbei, not in Tokyo, and often had to go into battle in person to risk death and kill, what did he enjoy? Far away from His Majesty, lost his favor, his family was ruined, some soldiers did not rebel but went home as farmers to pay off their debts, and the loyal and brave soldiers who had been trained and trained hard also fled with little left, life and death, honor and disgrace are all in the mind of Your Majesty, where does the power come from? This Hou Ye is a big traitor, but it is too much of a failure to treat it like this. Huh"
Zhao Ji's face was a little ashamed when he heard this, but he was proud.
He always felt that Cai Jing and other Beijing officials around him were loyal ministers, at least they would not rebel against him, but the bloody people at the border were suspicious and could not really be trusted.
He also understands that if Zhao Gonglian really rebelled, it was also forced by him.
Tao Daxian caught the fierce light in Zhao Ji's eyes from Zhao Ji's smug smile lines, knowing that this faint monarch can be tolerant and generous, and those sycophant traitors who have ruined his country will not let go of the pillars of the country who have made great contributions to the loyal society but refuse to always follow his nonsense. Zhao Gonglian's words collided and angered Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is interested in Zhao Gonglian's murderous intentions, and he will never forget it, and sooner or later he will make another murderous attack.
He sneered in his heart, but he wouldn't do anything about it, he took the initiative to relieve Zhao Ji's embarrassment on his face, and said with a smile: "The art of the emperor, the way of the emperor, Your Majesty naturally has no shortage of it." Poor people don't understand it, and they can't give any good advice. How to decide and how to do it is up to Your Majesty. β
Zhao Ji listened proudly, and changed the topic at the right time, and curiously asked the Confucian sage Confucius whether he became an immortal after his death, or whether he was simply reincarnated as an immortal to educate the world and make merits.
Tao Daxian didn't answer directly, but said with a faint smile: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many talents from all walks of life who were respected as sons. At that time, what the society needed most was to develop the economy, meet the people's minimum and most urgent needs for survival, and to enrich the country and strengthen the army to quell the wars and disputes. What Confucius taught was the most useless moral doctrine of his time. β
The doctrine he founded was of no great benefit to the country and the people, it was out of date, the rulers and the people did not care to pay attention to this empty dogma, it had no great influence at the time, let alone established great achievements, and among many doctrines, it was far inferior to the practical doctrine, do you think he would be qualified to become a god at that time, or would he be the reincarnation of an immortal?
The most useless thing that the gods do, is it stupid?
Zhao Ji was surprised when he heard it, but he was relieved when he thought about it again, and he felt reasonable. Confucius is indeed a descendant who gradually became a saint.
He asked about the east and the west, afraid of Buddhism, afraid of Tian Hu and other anti-thieves, afraid of Zhao Gonglian, afraid of this and that, curious about this and that, and asked and asked, but he didn't ask if the girl who was destined to perish in the Great Song Dynasty, ruined his noble pleasure and gave him the most cruel and shameful was not demonized, would it endanger the Song Dynasty.
Tao Daxian didn't have the heart to waste time and energy to talk nonsense with Zhao Ji, and deal with a few words, just called leaking the heavenly opportunity, afraid that retribution would come at any time, and slowly got up and walked outside the palace, and said slowly while walking: "Speaking of which, after all, Your Majesty is the person of the destiny of heaven, the country will not fall, Your Majesty is the emperor, and no one under the way of heaven can help to get the supreme glory of the emperor in this world." Whether it is the destruction of the Buddha or the apostasy, both are beneficial and disadvantageous, and the final consequences are beyond the ability of the poor Dao to be known, so it depends on how the Supreme of the Two Sects will treat His Majesty. However, no one can threaten and control His Majesty to make a choice, and the affairs of the world are still all in His Majesty's thoughts. The upper realm can only watch. β
"There is only one thing Your Majesty needs to know, and at this point, one of the two must be chosen. If you imagine that you used to worship the Tao and worship the Buddha, you can seek peace and peace of mind from the left and right, hehe......"
"It's a big nuisance. Your Majesty needs to calm down and weigh it carefully before making a decision. Poor Dao didn't dare to disturb His Majesty more. β
Tao Daxian left with a smile, thinking in his heart: Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, if you want to steal peace and refuse to take some risks to destroy the Buddha, then your remaining value is really only to wait for the Jurchen to be captured by the Jurchens and go to the cold and snowy land in the north to sit in the well and watch the sky and taste the taste of self-inflicted evil.
Zhao Ji had the idea of being reluctant, otherwise he would not have the leisure to ask about some irrelevant things.
At this time, when he heard this, his color changed, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being too lucky, and he was confused.
Unstable factors, that is, potential hidden dangers, must be eliminated first. The Wall-Riders will always be hostile and prioritized by both sides.
At this time, the contradictions between the two religions of Taoism and Buddhism have intensified, and they cannot back down, otherwise their luck will be damaged, and I, the emperor of the world, have become the focus of contradictions and conflicts. The result of the left and right sources will not only not please both sides, but will become the target of both religions to despise and hate and punish together......
Moreover, even if the Buddha Gate is forgiven and favored, the Buddha Gate of the world and the Buddha Gate have become the climate of the two anti-kings of Hebei Huaixi, who will never stop corrupting his throne.
The established national policies of mortal nations will not be easily changed. How could the proud gods of the Upper Realm easily change their ways?
The battle of luck is related to the rise and fall and even the survival of the two religions of Taoism and Buddhism, and the two religions will never put their hopes on a person who is uncertain, and they will not be soft.
From the fact that Buddhism colluded with the people and the thieves and the king of Anqing, and tried their best to arrange usurping forces in the government and the opposition, it can also be seen that Buddhism is determined to overthrow him, the emperor.
There is no middle ground for compromise.
Zhao Ji understands how powerful it is, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to do it. He still couldn't make up his mind to eradicate Buddhism.
Courage can be practiced. A timid and cowardly person can be tempered into a fearless warrior.
However, this quality is mainly nature, not acquired experience, and it will be revealed at a critical juncture. That's how most traitors come here.
Zhao Ji's nature says that indecision is light.
From the reluctance and naΓ―ve surrender of the Jin Army in history, it can be seen that when it comes to life and death, Zhao Ji has the material to take responsibility.
It is also the ancestral system and survival essence of the Song Dynasty. The emperors of the Song Dynasty, even if they were counted, would not regard stealing peace as a shame, but as a clever political compromise.
This essence is particularly vivid when it falls on Zhao Ji. At this time, it was not so decisive and ruthless as the original determination to kill the Cangzhao family, and it was completely dish.
Just when Zhao Ji was alone and hesitated, a eunuch suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, she is critically ill." β
Zhao Ji was taken aback, and then remembered that the queen was frightened and needed his husband to comfort and protect her, but he was so frightened that he didn't think of this stubble at all.
It's hard to decide for a while, so let's go see the queen first.
Zhao Ji came to the queen's palace and saw the queen's henchwoman Yungu was serving the queen with a sad and anxious face, and the queen Zheng Niangniang was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Zhao Ji's heart trembled, and his cowardly heart that only wanted to ask for peace finally ignited his anger again.
The relationship between Empress Zheng and Zhao Ji is not ordinary.
As early as when Zhao Ji was still an idle prince, he became attached to Zheng Niangniang.
At that time, he often went to the Queen Mother to say hello and fulfill his filial piety.
Empress Dowager Xiang likes Zhao Ji, who is personable, elegant, talented, sweet-mouthed and extremely filial to her, seeing that Zhao Ji likes the two beautiful and shrewd henchmen around her, every time Zhao Ji comes, she specially arranges for the two palace maids to come forward to entertain Zhao Ji, which is intentionally fulfilled. These two palace maids are the current Empress Zheng and the Da Liu family, who died early and was also posthumously crowned queen.
Zheng Niangniang and Da Liu are obviously not ordinary people, they are quite scheming and seized the opportunity. It can be said that Zhao Ji was able to become the emperor, and the two daughters have a lot of credit.
It was the second daughter who always praised Zhao Ji in the ear of the Queen Mother, Zhao Ji was filial and talented, the closest to the Queen Mother, the emperor was the most beneficial to the country, and the Queen Mother Xiang finally overrode the public opinion and made up her mind to take over the throne.
Zhao Ji's original character is dignified, fair, thrifty, is a virtuous wife, and a competent queen, but her appearance is ordinary, and her actions are not as good as the taste of Zhao Ji, so she is naturally not happy, and she was angry with Zhao Ji in a few years when she was the queen. Zheng Niangniang, who is extremely beautiful and everything like Zhao Jiyi, naturally ascended to the queen's throne.
Two favored concubines with kindness and affection, Da Liu (the fallen beast Jin Junshou, blessed) died first. The remaining Zheng Niangniang is cherished by Zhao Ji.
The relationship between Zheng Niangniang and Zhao Ji is not only the relationship between the chief of many concubines and the emperor, but also the relationship between husband and wife, which has a different meaning for Zhao Ji, and is a symbol of luck. Therefore, even if Zheng Niangniang is not the prince's mother, and there is no son who can survive to take over the throne on behalf of the crown prince, the queen's throne has always been sitting and relatively stable.
Such a queen is very likely to die if she is harmed by the traitor monks of Daxiangguo Temple, and Zhao Ji has been perverted since the eunuch and does not care about the palace concubine's heart finally hurt.
Seeing that the queen was unconscious, and in a blink of an eye, he thought that the many other little wives and all the daughters who had only given birth to daughters were poisoned, and Zhao Ji's anger and murder all broke out.
"Bald donkey, I can't spare you. Buddha Gate, Buddha Gate, hum"
Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
The anger overwhelmed his reason, but he still did not forget to take revenge on Zhao Gonglian.
"The ninth great good man, the tenth world is perfect, and after attaining the Tao, he will become a supreme person and press on the top of my head? Hmph, delusional. You will not be allowed to succeed. β
Regardless of whether Zhao Gonglian is loyal or not, Zhao Ji decided that he must destroy Zhao Gonglian's merits and great prestige among the people, and then kill him and make him disappear forever.
As soon as he did this kind of thing, his brain was very good, and he immediately clearly remembered the hateful monk mentioned by Zhao Gonglian in questioning the love of a fake country, and hated Buddhism more and more, and knew that Zhao Gonglian and the Cangzhao family did not want to see Buddhism and had a grudge against Buddhism. He suddenly had an idea.
It kills two birds with one stone.
No, no, such a hateful Buddhism and Zhao Gonglian are not worthy of being called the eagles of the sky, and they are only worthy of the two birds waiting to die, the island.
Kill two birds with one stone.
