Section 116 dilemma
Zhao Gonglian didn't believe that someone would deny his brother's assertion that there were ghosts and gods in the world.
The younger brother said that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and that no one has supernatural powers to predict fate or something, so there is no designation.
If so, why can't this strange man with the power of ghosts and gods create a magical career like his younger brother?
doesn't have the ability of his younger brother, but he dares to claim to have supernatural powers? Dare to challenge the Cangzhao family?
It's just a trick to deceive.
It must be a conspiracy with ill intentions.
Even if it is reliable, it is inferred from secular common sense, not from magical calculations.
He had learned the science of logical analysis from his younger brother.
He knew that the so-called magic prediction was a conclusion deduced from various objective factors of reality, and to put it bluntly, there was nothing magical.
Prediction is a kind of wisdom, the result of experience and experience accumulation, is a university question, and people have long been able to know, has long been applied in all walks of life, the old farmer looks at the weather of the sky; Officials solve cases and manage major budget events, and people judge things and prepare early, they are all using prediction and speculation, but this world has not yet specifically summarized and defined this knowledge in this era, anyway, it can be anything, but it just can't be ghosts, gods, spells and supernatural abilities.
My brother said that there is no such power in the world, so there must be none.
Someone dared to assert the fate of his Zhao Gonglian, but he didn't believe it at all.
If he dares to jump out and hurt him, he will try his ability to use the scientific skills he knows from his brother to expose his fairy skin.
What happened to the monk?
Dare to say that I am a hidden dragon and want to indirectly kill me. I can reasonably infer that he is a follower of a cult organization that has been secretly actively engaged in rebellion in the future of the Great Song Dynasty in order to harm the future pillars of the Great Song Dynasty.
However, his thoughts were not useful.
Emperor Zhao Ji saw that he was not frightened and timid, not panicked or some conspiracy to disguise the performance of being exposed, looking at the angry and passionate teenager was completely righteous and awe-inspiring, impulsive and responsible, the response was not the slightest hesitation or artificiality, it was selfless to be so, he laughed, and comforted the young man funny.
"Xiao Aiqing doesn't have to mind."
"Those eminent monks like to play with those criticisms to avoid trouble or something. Otherwise, how can he be shown to be clever and mysterious? Where does the belief come from? He eats on this. ”
But things didn't go by with a laugh.
Zhao Gonglian was angry, he couldn't let go of this matter, and he wanted to find out, and he had to figure out this threat and get rid of it as soon as possible.
Emperor Zhao Ji was also curious about why the senior monk suddenly made such vicious assertions to a young newcomer in officialdom for no reason.
To put it bluntly, he was also afraid that the monk really had some magical powers, and he was worried that the compassionate monk was for the stability of the Great Song Dynasty so he deliberately and faithfully reminded the royal family to make a decision early, so as not to get the war and internal friction and cannibalism.
However, the high monk has a fart view and is life-threatening.
He just speculated and deliberately made an assertion based on the objective situation.
Zhao Gonglian is a genius who is rare in thousands of years, brilliant and intelligent, capable of both civil and military, at a young age, he created the status of the leader of the younger generation of Shilin, and turned the ordinary family of Biansai into a new and unlimited potential wealthy family in one fell swoop, young and old, born suitable for political and mixed officialdom, when he first entered the officialdom, he showed the ability to be like a fish in water, and he was not timid when he mixed with the emperor, and his character was brave and strong, not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and he was decisive in killing, obviously not an ambitious person who was willing to live under the people for a long time, and was favored by the emperor and maintained and cultivated, Such a person will inevitably soar in officialdom, and it is inevitable that he will take power sooner or later, and it will not take too long.
The ability is extremely strong, and it has to be reused, and the achievements that can naturally be created are great.
The prestige is too high, the power is too great, and the influence is too extensive and strong, under the Great Song system and national conditions, it is absolutely impossible not to be suppressed or even eradicated by suspicion.
And with the tradition and anti-enemy style of the Zhao Gonglian family, I am afraid that they are not willing to wait for death, and they can resolutely and tenaciously resist too strong foreign enemies, and they can also deal with the court in this way.
This is very common, very simple reasoning.
The eminent monk is just playing the mystery of Buddhism with the status of a high monk, and it is more demagogic and credible to say it in a magical way.
But outsiders don't know it.
Zhao Ji saw that Zhao Gonglian's expression was obviously dissatisfied and refused to give up easily, so he asked a few more questions.
Anyway, if you're idle, you'll be idle, so it's okay to be idle and find out about this by the way.
"Aiqing has offended the Buddhists when she came to Tokyo?"
Zhao Gonglian shook his head directly and simply.
He just came to Tokyo as an official, although he was not too busy to have time to go out for a stroll, but he kept in mind the advice of his family and the great cause in his heart, and was very cautious in his words and deeds, how could he offend the powerful people in the Buddhist sect, let alone offend the senior monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple who had a complicated relationship with countless powerful people in the capital.
Zhao Ji asked again: "Then, who did you have a conflict with?" ”
You don't want to offend someone who is powerful and someone is deliberately corrected, right?
Think about it.
Whether it is young and vigorous, intentionally or unintentionally offended, this will plant a bane.
Besides, seeing that the young man is so favored, I am afraid that someone wants to take advantage of Zhao Gonglian's preoccupation and cleverly destroy this talent who will definitely reach the sky early.
Zhao Gonglian still shook his head.
He abides by the rules of officialdom, respects the elderly, and does not despise the lowly and despicable people, and is polite to ordinary little eunuchs, how can he collide with the powerful or any officials.
Zhao Ji said strangely: "This is strange. For no reason, why did the eminent monk assert that he harmed you? I'm afraid he hasn't even seen you, right? ”
Zhao Gonglian suddenly remembered this.
There was an incident on his younger brother's first birthday, and he really offended a monk. Let the monk reveal the ugly nature, notorious, lost the presiding throne, which is equivalent to ruining his future, although he is a great monk in Cangzhou, but Buddhism is one, the monk is afraid that he has a lot of friends in Buddhism, and some of his status is not low......
As soon as he told the emperor like this, Zhao Ji laughed.
Sure enough, he offended the monks.
That's the root of the problem. This is where the scourge of assertion comes from.
With this reason, Zhao Ji was a lot more relieved, and the vague wariness of the little boy Zhao Gonglian was gone.
In other words, an emperor like Zhao Ji is really righteous enough to be a friend, and it is really happy to be his favored traitor. He is very protective of his favored official friends, and he is very considerate.
The Daojun period was definitely a heavenly kingdom for traitors to happily mix with officialdom.
Soon after, the monk saw that there was no movement in the palace, perhaps for fear of suspicion and retaliation, or because he had been bored for a long time in the Great Xiangguo Temple, so he left Tokyo to travel the world, wanting to avoid trouble, and by the way, he exchanged feelings with fellow religious friends from all over the world.
But he didn't make it.
Not far from the capital, he was robbed by someone pretending to be a robber.
No one was killed, but arrested. The secret spy department personnel sent by the emperor interrogated it, and the matter became clear.
That's it.
This senior monk is venting his anger for his friend in Cangzhou.
In addition, he hated the Cangzhao family's behavior of disrespecting Buddhism and daring to destroy the reputation of the temple and the image of the monks, and regarded it as a provocation to Buddhism. Otherwise, when Zhao Gonglian is developed, has a high position, greater influence, and a more prosperous family, and the ugly past of the monks of the Cangzhou temple spreads, will the people of the world not think that Buddhism is not a pure land? What's even more terrifying is that without the blessing of Buddhism, people with the ability can still soar to prosperity and peace?
In that case, who still truly believes in the power and majesty of the Dharma?
Undoubtedly, in the psychology of this old man, the small conflict has been put on the line to the major events related to the honor and disgrace and survival of the entire Buddhist sect, giving himself enough reasons to harm others.
He can't harm others, so it is naturally his turn to swallow the bitter fruit, and he deserves it.
Zhao Ji was teased and used by the monks, and he was very unhappy, so he handed over the monk to Zhao Gonglian to dispose of at will.
It is also an indirect test of political potential.
However, Zhao Gonglian was young because of his younger brother's prompt to understand the essence of the emperor early, aware of the emperor's intentions, and also learned a profound lesson from the incident that the person was sitting at home this time, and the disaster came from the sky, and realized that Buddhism is not as clean as the people imagined, and the monks are not necessarily so merciful and holy, this is an invisible terrible force, and the difference between offending it and offending the emperor is really not too big.
The whereabouts of the monk have since become a mystery.
Wandering around is uncertain, and often goes to the temple in the mountains, or hides in a certain place to practice behind closed doors, sitting, and the monks who intend to escape from the world, there are too many possible reasons, not to mention in the Song Dynasty, that is, in the modern era when the population management and reconnaissance methods are advanced, it is almost impossible to find out, and the later generations do not know how many people die and disappear every year, and it has become an unsolved case that cannot be found out. With the power of Buddhism all over the world, it is impossible to trace the truth of the disappearance of the monk.
It's been a long time.
Emperor Zhao Ji had already forgotten all about it.
But back then, this incident taught a good lesson to the deliberately developed Cangzhao family, especially to Zhao Laoer.
Everything is developing as the monk analyzed and predicted for harming people, as if a monk is a monk, even if he has the ability to criticize his life, and the purpose of harming people cannot change this fact.
When he returned to Zhao Laoer, he encountered a monk making trouble again.
He immediately remembered the incident back then, and also thought that the emperor might also remember the matter of the senior monk's judgment back then.
If the extremely superstitious emperor concluded that the Cangzhao family would rebel and had to deal with it decisively, it would not be good, and it would seriously threaten the retreat plan of the Great Song Dynasty in the end.
Facing the arrogant monk who aided the abuse, Zhao Lao Er couldn't help but feel jealous.
What to do?
If it is a hard top, there is an armed conflict with these arrogant monks, resulting in the death and injury of the monks, and the news reaches Tokyo, I am afraid that it will arouse the emperor's memory of the incident of approving the order of the year, and it will inevitably arouse the fierce emotions of Buddhism.
Regardless of the holy faith, in the final analysis, there are very realistic secular factional interests, and whoever offends it will not really treat this matter fairly, openly and selflessly, and admit its mistakes to the people of the world. The most likely thing is to try by all means to distort the facts and cover up its ugliness, and make every effort to safeguard the dignity and image of the face, that is, to safeguard the vital and fundamental interests of the faction. It is conceivable that there is no way to make concessions and compromises, to force the imperial court to hold the court accountable with invisible and powerful forces, and even to incite public opinion to smear the enemy and directly retaliate with the grand force at its disposal.
If you compromise and retreat to this group of evil monks dressed in the skin of the Holy God, with Zhao Laoer's temperament, he is extremely unwilling.
It is necessary to eradicate all evil, unscrupulous, and unearned social parasites in the homeland, and create the most ideal social environment for the returning empire.
If you can't meet it, it's enough.
encounters evil, and threatens himself with arrogant provocations by his identity and the forces behind him, just like the usual encounters with the ruffian gangsters, then he can't retreat or let go, otherwise his prestige and dignity will be swept away, and he will be despised by the world, which will only make the evil more arrogant, and the consequences will not be much better for the Cangzhao family.
Zhao Yue watched the monk group pressing the knife violently and quickly pressing over, he became more and more angry in his heart, and made a decision in a blink of an eye.
Turning over in front of the war horse, gently urging the big white horse that was standing on the other war horses, the big white horse neighed lightly, and the other war horses did not move, it shook its tail like snow silver silk, carrying the master, and Da briskly crossed Gan Mao and was beaten to the front, actually blocking the way for the monk to pounce.
The man who beat him had no intention of stopping.
Looking at Zhao Laoer's style again, Master Qingde felt that the majesty of Buddhism was ignored, and the well-maintained white and tender face was red with excitement, and when the mule cart approached, he simply jumped out of the car, twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and shook the expensive and exquisite monk's robe that symbolized his lofty status in the temple, and walked straight to Zhao Laoer's horse with his head held high and a big belly.
Because it was backlight, he squinted and looked at Zhao Lao Er on the horse with a gloomy and arrogant gaze.
Zhao Lao Er sat still expressionlessly. No one knows what this famous little bully of the Cangzhao family is thinking.
Master Qingde didn't care what Zhao Lao Er thought.
No one in the world dared to openly oppose Buddhism, including the emperor.
He is not afraid that Zhao Lao Er will be fierce and will not back down.
The Holy Buddha disciples are intimidating, and they have force to rely on around them.
If the Cangzhao family dares to blow up the thorns, others can't teach him a lesson, but the detached Buddhism is not afraid.
He is not afraid of the high authority of the Marquis of Wencheng, just take this kid as the best baby to show the world, and show the majesty of Buddhism to the inviolable.
Of course, this is his own idea.
If the real virtuous monks of Buddhism know about it, they will definitely smack him in the face, and he will never be allowed to use the power of Buddhism to openly defend evil and challenge the Cangzhao family, which is benevolent and spread all over the world.
That is not the image of Liwei Guangda Buddha, it is completely denying the purpose of Buddhism and discrediting Buddhism.
But I hope that the temple is well managed, and the local people are coaxed to superstitious beliefs by magical means such as eliminating disasters and solving problems, and the people are deceived into danger and helpless to make a big vow to the gods and Buddhas, and the victims promise that the disaster will voluntarily donate money and food and even donate all the fields and property to thank the Buddha, etc., and so on, taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the wealth, the temple is rich and prosperous, and the monks with status live happily and happily, taste the sweetness, and the master of Qingde, who is mainly in charge of the temple management and procurement and other businesses, has a high status in the temple, and his heart is getting darker and darker, and he has long been accustomed to the way of doing things. has his own set of beliefs, and today he has cleaned up Zhao Lao Er.
