Section 233 Silent contest

Cangbei steadily received monks, and small disputes continued, but there was no big trouble once.

Once it becomes a criminal gang that the state focuses on cracking, without the support and indulgence of the government and dignitaries, as soon as he peels off the divine skin of the sacred decency, he is arrested in a net, separated from the believers, and loses the opportunity to bewitch and incite the masses to echo and make trouble in solidarity with them, this group is immediately nothing, and the real ability to blackmail the country is gone, and those who don't want to die can only obediently continue to play the role of compassion, virtue, and tolerance. I have to be a meek and obedient lamb.

In the blink of an eye, when the autumn harvest in the north was entered, thousands of monks and prisoners from Wutai Mountain arrived, including the elder who became a monk and changed his name to Hua Monk Lu Zhishen.

The elder is not the former Tokyo Imperial Boxer, Zhou Dong, one of the martial arts masters in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

But this person can also do martial arts, martial arts are unique, and proficient in medical skills, and there are some mysterious skills, such as meeting people's hearts, he is indeed an extraordinary great monk, otherwise he would not be able to be the host of the thousand-year-old temple here in Wutai Mountain, the holy land of Buddhism. Zhao Yue learned this from Lu Zhishen when he chatted before.

At this point, the entire monks who were to be sent to Cangbei were basically completed, and the number of the last summary scared Zhao Gonglian.

Fifty and more than 10,000.

That's a terrible number.

You must know that Song Seng fled to the pirate country before, picked up the butcher's knife and said that it was a vajra angry eye, and he wanted to directly eradicate social evil, truth, goodness and beauty with violence, and return the world to a peaceful and beautiful world, but in fact, he became a murderer and robbed the devil and became a robber and a thief, because of all kinds of disasters and died, and the total sum of the total accounted for the vast majority, and this is it, but the remaining monks still reached more than 500,000 yuan, and I dare not imagine how many monks in the parasitic society were consuming social resources at that time when Buddhism was stable and prosperous.

This is already a great evil, a disguised cruelty to the enslavement of the toiling people, and a profound mockery of the ruling class that is accustomed to conniving at the generous support of Buddhism.

The monk is actually richer and more comfortable than the proud official, and he is more authoritative, decent and socially influential, and more sacrosanct!

The official lord does not care for the people, indulges Buddhism without hard work and indulges in bloodsucking thousands of people, ignoring the misery and misery of the people, but he should always be a monk who can be a monk with a bald head, and he actually overshadows them who have worked hard to study and take the top prize or the bloody battlefield to become an official, and they are angry and jealous of the scenery of their officials.

But the officials and old men do not have this awareness, which shows their ignorance and stupidity, and it is no wonder that the Buddhist monks always ridicule and despise the officialdom in their hearts. The official master indulged in desires, was fascinated by the five colors, and indeed lacked great wisdom, which was not as profound and sober as the great monk who looked at the society and had a profound and sober understanding of people and all things in society.

So many monks gathered in Cangbei, among which there are many famous monks with great reputation, and groups of monks and celebrities will ask to see Wen Chenghou.

Note that it is a strong request rather than a plea, much less a pleading.

They are afraid that they will lose their status as high-ranking monks and experts, and they will lose their high-profile and even high-profile negotiation qualifications to suppress Zhao Gonglian.

Some even use subtle language, suggesting intimidation and threats.

But Zhao Gonglian didn't receive any of them, let alone humbly or even sincerely ran to meet them in person.

I don't have that much to spare.

It's all up to Tong Gang to arrange.

His main attention was on Song Abroad.

The most important thing is that the younger brother is leading the army to fight the barbarians. He, the elder brother who is like a father, is very worried about the safety of his younger brother.

If the younger brother has three long and two short, it will kill his mother. It will also collapse the backbone of the empire and severely damage the spiritual pillars erected by the people of the empire.

Zhao Yue is a living god in the hearts of the pirate empire, the guardian god of the empire, the god of guidance, and the god of wisdom...... is the spiritual leader of the Empire.

If such a god is broken, then what is it?

One can imagine how frightened the people of the Empire, who had just acquired a new spirit, and wondered if it was a mistake to be a pirate national, or if God had abandoned him again......

Zhao Gonglian knew very well what the monk wanted to do.

Buddhism wants to pressure me to bow my head and negotiate for treatment?

The country is about to die, and the rest of the people have to support such a huge expenditure of the Song Dynasty, you can imagine how hard and difficult it will be, and you still want to continue to be a holy Buddha who does not work hard?

has been a hasty criminal, and he is at this point, and he is still pretending to be forced to do this?

Are you a bully when I'm spineless? Or am I Zhao Gonglian's wisdom not enough to be stupid than your monks?

What do you want to do?

While going cool.

No matter how high the monk is, he is now a repeat offender appointed by the imperial court, and the more famous he is, the more important the hidden danger, even if he is not a criminal, he is not qualified to point fingers at Cangbei's decision-making. Before he refused to dedicate his life to the so-called devout Buddhism, then, when he arrived in Cangbei, he would consciously be obedient, and he would clean you up if he dared to be honest.

There are countless ways for the so-called monks and virtuous people to learn how to behave in Cangbei.

Therefore, Zhao Gonglian ignored the monks who pretended to be forced to do so.

With hope, they still regard themselves as wisdom gods and Buddhas in their hearts, and the arrogant monks are full of incomprehension, shame and resentment towards Zhao Gonglian, who is known for his compassion and wisdom.

How can a celebrity like you be like those stupid, vulgar, and evil officials in the imperial court?

How can you do this to a monk like me? How dare you be so indifferent to the many wise and virtuous people of our Buddhist sect?

Thinking about the rumors that I heard on the road, it was said that the destruction of Buddhism by the imperial court was caused by Zhao Gonglian's disgust with Buddhism and his strong suggestions, so the shame and resentment turned into resentment and hatred towards Zhao Gonglian. They began to believe the rumors, and regarded Zhao Gonglian as an enemy of Buddhism in their hearts, and secretly drew circles and viciously cursed Zhao Manmen.

It's just that this fart doesn't work.

Zhao Gonglian ate well and slept soundly. Zhao Yue grew up more and more heroic. Zhao Yue's oldest grandmother, Guo Shi, is almost ninety years old, and she still eats Ma Ma Xiang, often chattering about waiting to get on the plane piloted by her little grandson, knowing what it is like to fly in the sky before she closes her eyes, and a few years ago she said that she would close her eyes with peace of mind when she got in the car. Not to mention the other younger grandmothers, who are living happily and hopefully. And the next generation is smart and healthy, although there are bear children, they should be young and interesting. One of the people in the Cangzhao family is counted as one, and they are all very big-hearted regardless of age. And the monks are not gods, without any supernatural powers to advocate, the curse can only be spiritual**.

There is nothing wrong with the Cangzhao family. Zhao Gonglian was not sick or sick, and his focus was not related to these monks. If the curse can't be fulfilled, the monks will have no choice but to stare dryly. It can be seen that what is false is false. Soft power is soft power. When it needs to be hard, it needs to be effective immediately, it just can't be hard, and it can't work.

However, when the elder of Wutai Mountain Wenshu Monastery arrived, he also proposed to meet the Marquis of Wencheng, but Zhao Gonglian suddenly agreed.

The previous monks didn't understand it.

I am the top monk today, my reputation is much higher than his, my qualifications in Buddhism are much deeper than his, and my wisdom is much stronger than his. I can't have an interview with Zhao Gonglian, how can he? He's just a junior in front of me, why should he?

The more ashamed, the more resentful.

Amitabha, sin, sin.

Of course, Zhao Gonglian is guilty of a lot of crimes.

Elder Wenshu of Wutai Mountain, hereinafter referred to as Elder Shu, was surprised that Zhao Gonglian was willing to give him face.

But he regained his indifferent state of mind in an instant, and in the eyes of the vast majority of high-ranking monks who seemed to be happy, encouraged, and compassionate and generous, but in fact secretly hated, he listened frankly and humbly to the solemn entrustment of the elders who took turns to place high hopes on him, and in fact, he was the old man who gave him earnest lessons and warnings, and shouldered the heavy mission of fighting for the treatment of Buddhist monks, at least to fight for the privileges of the monks, and entered the city with Tong Gang.

After entering the mansion, Tong Gang led him directly into Zhao Gonglian's office, stretched out his hand and silently motioned for him to sit down, served tea, and then quietly stood on Zhao Gonglian's side with a knife.

And Zhao Gonglian sat behind the table and looked at a book, he was reading it intently, and he read it out loud from time to time, and when Elder Shu came in, he didn't even raise his head, let alone greet him warmly, Elder Ren Shu sat there dryly.

Elder Shu didn't squeak since he came in, only quickly glanced at the furnishings in the room calmly, and then looked at Zhao Gonglian, and after getting to know the true face of the most famous legendary marquis, he sat there quietly, although he was hungry and thirsty in his stomach, he didn't drink it, he only smelled it, and knew that it was a very rare good tea, and he wouldn't make a noise to attract attention to it.

Time has passed constantly, minute by minute, and every second.

Half an hour passed, an hour passed, Zhao Gonglian had been busy reading, sometimes writing on paper, and still ignoring Elder Shu.

Tong Gang stood on his side expressionlessly, motionless like a statue.

The room was quiet, except for the occasional slight clatter of flipping through a book. The breathing of all three people was clearly audible.

Elder Shu sat with his eyes closed for half an hour like an old monk in a state of meditation, without any emotions or actions.

Compared with patience and willpower, than silent and dry sitting, than playing dumb riddles, who can compare to the monk who is best at meditation and meditation and meditation with a closed mouth.

Thicker than the cheek, more than the pampering and humiliation, not surprised, angry and not happy, who can compare to the Buddha's compassion and generosity, the most worldly people worship me, humiliate me and do not distract from my heart, everything is vain and do not care about the Buddha.

This is what the monks practice, and the senior monks are even more professional-level super experts. In these respects, who are the eminent monks afraid of?

Elder Shu was not afraid that Zhao Gonglian would play this hand with him.

But he was wrong.

Zhao Gonglian is not what he judged at all.

He never said hello and ignored it, but Zhao Gonglian didn't want to speak first, so that Elder Shu felt that he had the upper hand and had the illusion that there was a hole to exploit.

Of course, it also hints at an attitude towards Buddhism and monks.

He doesn't pretend to read, he really concentrates on studying.

What he read was not the books that the Great Song Dynasty readers of this era were most enthusiastic about and accustomed to reading, but a book on economics.

This is the latest economic monograph published by the Pirate Empire, mainly about the financial industry and related macroeconomic and people's livelihood knowledge, compiled by Zhao Yue's girlfriend, not Zhao Yue's economic professional knowledge can be written by two knives, it is the latest textbook of the Imperial University, just opened, at present, only university economics teachers, college students, and senior government officials responsible for managing the country's economic construction and people's livelihood can have a sneak peek. This is the first one, and it was specially sent by the Empire.

Zhao Gonglian saw it and opened his eyes, only then did he know that there were so many terrible means in the financial industry, which must be learned, and he was also amazed again by the talent of his younger brother's mysterious girlfriend, and he really learned it, and he didn't pay much attention to Elder Shu coming in, and after Tong Gang stood on his side, he realized that Elder Shu was coming, but he simply continued to study.

He didn't want to argue with the monk, and he also wanted to test what kind of person this Lu Zhishen's Buddhist leader was.

There is indeed a reason to make an exception to meet Lu Zhishen.

Although he did not think that the essence of this high monk could really be so compassionate and noble. When Luda was able to shave his ordination in Wutai Mountain to avoid disaster, it was also an opportunity that the outsider spent a lot of money to buy, not that Weiguang of Wenshu Monastery was willing to lend a helping hand. If there is no money, I am afraid that this elder will not give Ruda a chance.

It was also time to make his attitude clear to the monks. Save those senior monks from having any illusions and cause inconvenience or even passivity in managing monks.

Elder Shu sat there, but he was thinking quickly about how to break the deadlock and enter smoothly to gain the initiative.

The ass decides the head. He believes that there are monks who should be punished for breaking the law, but Buddhism is innocent. Buddhism is also a great and sacred ...... of justice

He himself also desperately wanted to be a monk for the sake of Buddhism, and the monks, including himself, tried to get some preferential treatment.

Now that he has become a monk and a prisoner, he cannot change for a while, he can put down his body and earn food by working, but he must not be as tired and tired as ordinary people and cannot eat without food, let alone be driven by wanton slavery like cattle and horses without dignity and decency. Monks are the children of the Buddha, they are sacred, they are blessed by the Buddha, and they must not be insulted by the world......

He noticed that Zhao Gonglian was not reading Confucian classics and beautiful texts such as the Tao of Confucius and Mencius or poetry, and he didn't understand it, but he understood that it was about the economy and people's livelihood, but he didn't care about it, and he didn't have the heart to care about it. Economic development and people's livelihood are the affairs of the state, and they are mundane things that officials should worry about, and they have nothing to do with the children of Buddhism.

However, in the second half hour, he was anxious in his heart, and gradually couldn't hold it anymore, so he slowly opened his eyes first.

He saw that a big man like Tong Gang was around Zhao Gonglian, but he was as strict and honest as a well-behaved child, and he got a glimpse of how strict and methodical Zhao Gonglian was in governing the family and the army.

You must know that the wood is motionless and standing quietly for an hour, and I don't even know how long it takes, not to mention ordinary people, even people who are successful in martial arts and extremely strong are difficult to do. The children of Buddhism are good at standing silently, but I am afraid that few people can hold on for so long. He wondered, how could this middle-aged and weakened General Tong do it?

Is it the power of reverence or fanatical worship that sustains him with the love of his faithful master?

He didn't know that this kind of standing pile was purely a pediatric matter for the soldiers of the national honor guard in later generations, and it was not a matter to stand for a day. That's an iron will, not a quality that a person who pretends to be a god or a Buddha can live an easy and decent life. Poor monks, poor monks, known as penance, in fact, few can endure great hardships, and few are willing to endure hardships. Just talk.

Looking at the furnishings and style of this office, we can also see what kind of person Zhao Gonglian is, who pays attention to practicality, acts capably, decisively, and has a very strong style.

Such an opponent is not easy to deal with.

The name of Marquis Wencheng is indeed worthy of his reputation. You have to think through and work with all your spirit.

He can see a lot of things, but unfortunately he can't see through what this Hou Ye wants to do, and he doesn't know how to break the situation and start negotiations.

Zhao Gonglian was disappointed to realize that this Shu Elder, who is said to be quite noble in character, is also a so-called virtuous and compassionate monk who is conceited of his Buddhist identity and does not really care about the miserable situation of the people's existence. Obviously, this eminent monk also thinks that there is nothing wrong with the children of Buddhism getting something for nothing. Monks, born from fate, this is the characteristic of monks.
