"Scholar, do you have any extreme prejudice against Manichaeism?"

Seeing that Zhao Cheng looked strange and didn't answer, Cai Wenji asked again.

Zhao Cheng looked at Cai Wenji Shaoqing, and his heart moved, in fact, about these things, trouble will come soon, and it happens to be Cai Wenji's identity, and it is difficult to tear it up without her help.

Thinking about Zhao Cheng, he smiled slightly, hugged his fists and said, "Little lady Cai, you haven't read enough books about these, Zhao Cheng has some alternative understanding, and I will talk to you in detail when I have time." ”

Cai Wenji was really flattered, and now that she felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye, she was excited, "Why don't you talk about it now." ”

Zhao Cheng looked at He Zhi and hesitated, and then didn't care, and said, "It's probably a matter of doctrine." ”

Cai Wenji shook her head and said, "I don't understand too much, is there any difference between them and the Buddhists?" It's all abstinence and ordination. ”

Zhao Cheng said eloquently: "The overall difference is still very big, these Hu cultures are not on the table, especially the most extreme Central Asian ideas among the Hu people. Buddhist abstinence, it can be regarded as a violation of morality, but fortunately, they are mild, and they are in the realm of strict self-discipline and leniency towards others. Manichaeism, on the other hand, were basically lenient with themselves and strict with others. ”

"Well, you seem to be listening to a head full of question marks. It doesn't matter. ”

Zhao Cheng continued, "I know this because I know Mani, no, strictly speaking, my immortal-level master is very familiar with him. Speaking of which, Mani himself has a negative attitude towards the whole world, he believes in light, and believes that the human body imprisons the light, so his ultimate theory is that the world dominated by humans must perish, and after releasing all the light, everyone can go to the great light world of bliss together and attain transcendence. ”

Cai Wenji was very curious and was stunned when she heard it.

He Zhi scoffed at this, but now it is inconvenient to resist him.

Zhao Cheng continued, "So about 800 years ago, before Mani was executed, a judge asked him: Do you advocate abstinence from marriage and abstinence because you want the world to be destroyed? Mani replied, "Yes, the human world should be cut off from its children, so that all evil can be eliminated and the world may be restored to light." ”

Khan, the 24-year-old Divinely inspired Mani who claims to be the combined successor of Buddha and Jesus, thinks so and answers truthfully. In the end, the shocked judge sentenced him to hang the streetlight.

This is obviously a very aggressive cult theory, and it belongs to the category of stubbornness and unrepentance. Not to mention that in the third century AD, he was definitely sentenced to "holding the doctrine of one person and one class" in the court of the fallen civilization.

In fact, in the barbaric era when the people's wisdom was not open, the elders of the family would take the children of the clan to sacrifice in the ancestral hall, so in this era, the head of the first religion and the head of the gang who held the doctrine of anti-one person and one category, who knew how many bloody things he had done. So theoretically, the judge in the third century ruled that there was nothing wrong with him hanging the wall.

Given the extreme nature of its teachings, its introduction to the Central Plains made it particularly aggressive in the face of Han thinking. Just as deer and horses are sometimes similar, Manichaeism and Buddhism are similar to some extent. This is difficult for those who control religious policy to grasp the measurement.

In particular, through the development of the flourishing Buddhist culture in the early Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was very important at that time, and Manichaeism, a different species like a horse and a deer, was integrated and influenced in it, which gradually led to the religion as a whole at that time becoming very aggressive and extreme, and gradually becoming somewhat uncontrolled.

In this way, there is nothing new under the sun, and when Emperor Wuzong was in the year of Huichang, he began to officially pull out the list of this group. The history of that event said: Huichang is difficult.

In the Huichang incident, in addition to the local Buddhism, Manichaeism was naturally also cleaning up, but all Hu monks were "expelled", including the most harmonious Japanese monks in ancient times. Since then, Buddhism in the Central Plains, including Manichaeism, has officially entered the development of localization.

The so-called localization development is actually a formal break away from the influence of "Central Asian religious culture", which can be regarded as an independent variant and begins to explore its own program. Then, including Manichaeism, since the Huichang incident, there has been a process of gradual change of doctrinal theories towards the habits of the Han family.

In "Guo Daxia's Sword and Sword", Mou Yong mentioned that "the local Ming Sect broke away from the Persian General Sect and developed on its own", referring to this incident. That is, since the beginning of the Huichang Movement of Tang Wuzong, due to political changes, it officially severed contact with the Central Asian Church. Let's just say that this over-regarded writer is actually a bit of a flattering writer, and he doesn't quite understand the difference between Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism.

No, this is like the Zhao Gao incident that Cai Jing said, isn't it? It's really not just Zhao Gao who likes to do this.

He Zhi didn't feel much cold when he heard this, but he was still very politically sensitive.

After listening to Zhao Cheng's nonsense, and convinced everyone, including Cai Wenji, He Zhi deliberately approached and whispered, "Xiao Zhao, I don't know if you are chasing the wind and talking nonsense, but for the sake of you saving me, don't blame me for not reminding me: If you don't revise your rhetoric and insist that the bandit leader of the Battle of Lingyang Mountain is the words 'Mani Cult', you will find trouble." The bureaucratic tearing up between the strands is coming soon. ”

Zhao Cheng nodded, but did not speak.

This is for sure, and it is also expected by Zhao Cheng. This is the reason why I deliberately said something good to Cai Wenji just now. She was on the scene in this matter and needed her help to correct it, so that her father Cai You could go around together.

Because Muzhou does not belong to Jiangnan East Road, but to Liangzhejiang Road. For bureaucrats like Cai You who don't want to make more trouble, the battle of Lingyang Mountain happened when it happened, but fortunately, only 200 Xiang troops died, and Zhao Cheng really led the team to turn the tables, close to annihilating the other party, and captured an important backbone.

If we don't talk much about this, and the simple conclusion is "the counterattack of the Chizhou bandits", then it will be much simpler for Chizhou, Muzhou, and Wuwei Army. It can be preached as a strong counterattack by the official army against the bandits after the Battle of Xishan.

However, in the first military meeting, Zhao Cheng intentionally or unintentionally designated the Manichaeism that Wen Yanbo had killed in Beizhou that year, and said that they had been lurking in the southeast region since then.

Then Manichaeism, whose main altar is in the Muzhou Gangyuan Cave, is bound to be pushed to the forefront of the storm. This is not about Chizhou and Wuwei Army, and it will passively involve Muzhou Zhizhou, Liangzhejiang Road Criminal Division, Shuai Division and other institutions.

Because there is a problem: since the ones that Wen Yanbo Xiangye was in Beizhou Ping back then were Manichaeism, Manichaeism was in the realm of Muzhou Bangyuandong, and its courage grew to the point of such madness. In He Zhi's opinion, this incident is either Zhao Cheng biting people with nonsense, or the officials of Muzhou Zhizhou and Shuai Si are blind.

So there is no doubt that this lawsuit will definitely make waves in the middle hall.

The problem that makes He Zhi crazy is that Zhao Cheng now seems to have really calmed down and brainwashed the stunner of Cai Xiaoniang. If she believed Zhao Cheng's words and insisted that it was Manichaeism, it would obviously drag the bureaucrats of the two Zhejiang roads who were hanging high and watching the chaos in Chizhou into the quagmire of this bandit war.

He Zhi didn't know anything else, but he knew that once Zhao Cheng and Cai Wenji's rhetoric was really qualified, Muzhou was bound to face war.

If the people of the two Zhejiang factions don't want to go shirtless, then their counterattack will come soon, which is inevitable. And the only people who can help Zhao Cheng in this incident are Cai Wenji and the He family!

Thinking of this, He Zhi's eyes darkened, and he felt that Zhao Cheng was too treacherous, and he felt that this kid had betrayed favors earlier and said "I will not investigate the responsibility of He Jia's blind command", in order to have one more heavyweight "witness" on the political battlefield next.

"The surname is Zhao...... Xiao Zhao, you are really insidious, you seem to know some big cats, and you want to involve this official and Miss Cai together, and fight the thunder with you? That person can be stabbed! ”

After finally figuring it out, He Zhi muttered to Zhao Cheng who was very dissatisfied.

Cai Wenji didn't know what to do, anyway, she now thinks He Zhi is a big embroidered pillow, and Zhao Cheng is a beautiful scholar with a hateful personality and a hero.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Seeing that Zhao Cheng didn't answer with a strange expression, He Zhi asked again.

Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said, "If you want to ask, then I don't have anything to say." I can only tell you that if you don't poke it now, there will be chaos in the southeast in a few years, and then it will really be powerless to recover from internal and external troubles. ”

He Zhi pondered: This Nima is about my birds, don't let my He family flood during this pit.

Thinking about it this way, He Zhi had to show that he was relatively concerned about national affairs, "Okay, it is recognized that Lord Zhao is worried about the country and the people and loves to do things." The problem is that it's just what you think, what you think, what you assert. How persuasive are you? ”

Zhao Cheng said: "Objectively speaking, I was not very convincing before, but on several major issues recently, I advocated what I thought was right. Besides, now Master He and Little Lady Cai support me together and get on my thief ship...... Actually, I mean the official ship, then I have a much better chance of success. I thought you knew about it. ”

He Zhi felt that he was simply Wang Xiu, or that this kid was not much better than Wang Xiu. Wu Zhixiang said that he was a hooligan, Huang Wenbing said that he was good at extortion, Wang Hao said that he was good at coaxing women with clever words, Cai You said that he was extremely talented, Zhang Ji said that he was magical, Cai Wenji said that he was hateful and hateful, these are all true.

No matter who you listen to, you will cry blindly, only the evaluation of him by all the people is combined, and it is a three-dimensional him......
