Chapter XVI: Judgment
"Maitreya is alive? That is, someone is going to rebel?! ”
Yuwen Fifteen's voice suddenly became louder, and Wu Ming hurriedly emphasized: "This matter is inconclusive, it's just a conjecture of mine." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Since he got the 'point' of his biological father Liu Taozhi, he found that the matter of the Maitreya Buddha statue is not trivial, and he must not be taken lightly, and the next day he found Sima Yuwen 15 in Huangzhou to report on relevant matters.
Yuwen Wen was on an expedition, and the affairs outside the palace were handled by Yuwen Fifteen, who stayed behind, so "Yuwen Sima" became Wu Ming's temporary superior.
Looking at the Maitreya Buddha statue in front of him, Yuwen Fifteen was a little excited, he shouldered a heavy responsibility, so he was very sensitive to any wind and grass in Xiyang City, and he was damaged by the Lang Lord Yuwen, so he felt that "there must be something strange" when he saw everything, and once there was a doubt, he had to give full play to his imagination.
Now that someone really wants to make trouble, how can Yuwen 15 not be excited?
"The problem is that the person who holds this Buddha statue, whether he is passing by Xiyang, or specially coming to Xiyang to do business, we don't have any clue, just guessing, I'm afraid that he will mess up and be busy in vain."
Wu Ming took out a piece of paper as he spoke, and spread it out in front of Yuwen Fifteen: "These are some of my judgments, which may be helpful in solving the mystery behind the Buddha statue, but whether the judgment is correct or not can only be implemented one by one." ”
There are a lot of contents written densely on the paper, and it can be seen that Wu Ming spent a lot of effort to make it, and he has made various analyses of this Buddha statue that came from something wrong.
First of all, there are countless believers in Maitreya in the world, and there are countless Maitreya statues, whether Maitreya Bodhisattva statues or Maitreya Buddha statues, they are very common images, but this Maitreya Buddha statue has a special meaning.
In other words, the person who owns this Buddha statue should be the remnants of the group of people back then, and its purpose is likely to be the same as back then, in a vain attempt to gather believers to rise up and establish the so-called Pure Land on Earth, which is actually a rebellion.
The next question is whether the purpose of these people to Xiyang is to take Xiyang as a foothold on their journey, or to regard Xiyang as the final destination?
According to the landlord, these people are not as simple as staying in Xiyang for a few days, otherwise they should go to the mansion and inn to stay, rather than renting a private house, so the other party is very likely to come to Xiyang to do something.
Maitreya belief is very common, travelers, businessmen carry Maitreya statues, put them out in the place of accommodation, the store will not make a fuss, and those suspects specially choose to rent a private house, I am afraid to gather other believers, do some shady deeds.
Of course, it is also possible that there are people in Xiyang, these people are likely to come to Xiyang from nearby states and counties, and after the people who should come come, they will make the next move.
What's next? This is very important, maybe everyone rushed to other places after they gathered, or they met to discuss some things, and then went their separate ways, or they directly did things in Xiyang.
Wu Ming thinks that the probability of this last judgment is very small, because the king of Xiyang has been keeping a close eye on Huangzhou, and Xiyang City is full of eyes and ears, and after long-term surveillance, no secret societies have been found to infiltrate the military camps and official offices.
Therefore, these suspects may be in contact with some people in Xiyang, probably to develop believers and other things, and there should be no possibility of rebellion in the short term.
However, there is one point that cannot be ignored, that is, since it is possible for the other party to come to Huangzhou to develop believers, it is inevitable that they will come into contact with the legal private society of Huangzhou and the surrounding areas - Buddhist societies.
The Buddhist society is also called "Yi", "Yiyi", Wu Ming unified to "Yiyi" called it, the composition of Yiyi is mostly a kind of private society gathered by believers at home in order to build Buddha statues and pagodas.
There are many Buddhist believers in the world, and many believers at home want to make a Buddha statue and make a vow, but they can only make a small Buddha statue to worship at home, but this seems to be not sincere enough, so everyone gathers together to raise funds to build a big Buddha statue.
There is money to contribute power, everyone works together to build a Buddha statue, and when the Buddha statue is completed, this Yiyi will be dissolved.
However, the construction of a large Buddha statue is a huge project, and depending on the size of the Buddha statue, it can take months, years, or even more than ten years.
In addition to making Buddha statues, such Yiyi will also carry out activities such as repairing temples, building pagodas, camping fasting, and chanting, so many Yiyi eventually become quite cohesive folk Buddhist groups.
And some ambitious people under the guise of "Maitreya's present life" will try to organize Yiyi, at first as a legitimate private society recognized by the government, and then develop their own followers against the influence of the yang and yin, and when they think that the time is ripe, they will rebel.
Therefore, Wu Ming judged that if those suspects really wanted to develop believers in Huangzhou, they would inevitably contact Yiyi in various places, or take the lead in organizing Yiyi to gather believers in the name of building Buddha statues.
"Yiyi... It doesn't matter, all the Yiyi in all places under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou Governor's Office have been filed with the government, and they are regarded as complicit in forming associations without permission. "Yuwen fifteen is confident, he, the Sima of Huangzhou, is not in vain.
Although he is only a state Sima, he can be said to know the general situation of the states under the jurisdiction of the governor's mansion, after all, the Huangzhou governor's mansion is Yuwenwen's territory, and as Yuwenwen's eagle dog, Yuwen fifteen cannot be unfamiliar with his own territory.
"Sima, there are dozens of people in Yiyi and hundreds of people at most, most of them are composed of one clan or one village, such Yiyi, it is difficult for outsiders to influence it in the short term, but if the other party has a heart, he can choose to win over the lord of Yi, and get twice the result with half the effort..."
"So in my opinion, don't alarm those lords, but let the eyeliner pay attention to it secretly."
They are all their own people, so Wu Ming and Yuwen Fifteen don't have too many taboos when they talk, and Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen has been keeping a close eye on the non-governmental associations under his rule, although normal private associations are allowed, but they are loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Yuwen Wen actually does not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, although he will not destroy the Buddha and destroy the Tao, but he has always been on guard against the excessive development of Buddhism and Taoism, which will affect the income of the government, and he must beware of demon monks and demon Taoists rebelling in the name of religion, so while allowing Yiyi to appear, he also bought and planted eyeliner in various Yiyi.
What each Yiyi is doing, what the lord of the Yi, what the Yizi is probably doing, and which officials have joined the Yiyi, the eyeliners will regularly report to the upline, and form a written text after being summarized by the "Kaiguang Office", and if there is any abnormality, it will be reported to Yuwenwen.
Thanks to the eyeliner network that has been formed for a long time, it will be very convenient for Yuwen Fifteen to take measures, but he thinks that it is not enough to just stare at Yiyi, and the Buddhist temple is also a place to keep an eye on.
"Not to mention elsewhere, all the Buddhist temples in Huangzhou, I will keep my eyes on it, lest those thieves be clever and pull ignorant believers into the water, and as for the state soldiers and officials, I will also let the eyes star."
"Sima, you have to beware of the other party's reckless moves, in case something auspicious comes out of the city, it will really be like a bubble of falling on the surface of your feet, disgusting."
Hearing Wu Ming say this, Yuwen Fifteen sneered: "Xiangrui? If anyone dares to make trouble in Xiyang City, I will make him auspicious! ”
