On the way, Sun Simiao smiled bitterly: "You kid can't teach people to worry, in a short time, it's about to be completed, and you come out like this!" ”

Zishi Daoist said on the side, "Mr. Li is also a passive move, you said that he Luo Ming was caught secretly spying, isn't it just to apologize truthfully?" But he has always been treacherous and sophistry, exposing his mediocre nature, and even the shallow inaction of Feixi Temple has been revealed, so I can't tolerate it! ”

Sun Simiao sighed, "Having said that, after all, Luo Ming and his body belong to the Duyuan Temple, and now it is the beginning of the alliance forces, so he makes such a brazen move, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble between the two sides because of this, right?" ”

Li Zhi smiled, "So what? Not only did Luo Ming not tell the Watana Temple, even if he told him clearly, he could escape punishment because of this? Thinking about coming to Feixi Temple under the auspices of such people, there will not be many good kinds, otherwise why would the imperial court build another temple in the middle of the mountain? ”

Sun Simiao expressed his approval, "The Lord said that after the construction of the temple in Lingjinan, some local officials were ordered to pray for rain in the temple, and the great harvest of Ganlin was realized, and the disaster and famine were relieved, and the people benefited. From this point of view, instead of looking ahead and hesitating, it is better to cut through the mess quickly and win it in one fell swoop! ”

As everyone spoke, they quickly went to the foot of Bafen Mountain, not far from the north side of Baiyun Cave.

A few people's breath was slightly flat, and they saw Li Yi leading a team of people to hurry over, and a wooden prisoner cart in the crowd was particularly conspicuous, attracting nearby pilgrims to stop and watch.

At the head of the group were several civilian-looking people, and behind them were a group of well-dressed soldiers.

Before they could get closer, the military horses stopped, and Li Yi and several officials rushed over.

Some of these people who entered the Tongyun Cave with them yesterday evening, and there was no need to introduce them again, but one of them said:

"A few years ago, the inaction of the Feixi Temple has made the local people complain, how can they preside over the abbot have another statement, and have close contacts with a certain family in Chang'an City, so it was said that the county government of this county, that is, the Ezhou Mansion also received a message from the family, saying that the Feixi Temple is doing some secret research, and it is a loss in the promotion of Buddhism!"

Some words don't need to be pointed out in the clear place, Li Zhi knows that he must rely on it behind him, so that after the imperial court gives the temple, he still firmly occupies the most prominent peak of Bafen Mountain.

"Of course, we have to have a reasonable name for this trip, and the Lingjinan Temple in the mountains should also consult the congregation and public opinion in advance."

As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, the man was already replying: "Someone has already gone to Lingji South Temple, and several of their hosts will come later, Mr. Li wait for a while!" ”

Very satisfied with this person's authentic work, Li Zhi said with a smile: "Mao Zhixian is worried about things, and it is obvious that the local people have a very thorough understanding of the physical situation. ”

On the side, Sun Simiao gave a glance that seemed to be contemptuous, and he was more thoughtful about the affairs of the senior officials of the DPRK and China, even if he knew the people's feelings well?

In fact, Li Zhi has his reason for saying this, if the yamen did not have a clear understanding of the people as officials, how could the later imperial court give temples and temples.

Moreover, he could sense that this person's state of mind was very stable at the moment, and it was obvious that there were no psychological fluctuations in the arrest of Yu Feixi Temple, which meant that this person had not benefited from Feixi Temple on weekdays.

Feixi Temple has a deep relationship with Chang'an City, and it stands to reason that in a remote place far away from Chang'an, it should first be reconciled with the local officials.

Now that Mao Zhixian can be so at ease about this matter, either he has a noble heart, or he is not valued by Feixi Temple, at least he has not benefited from Luo Ming.

Another county magistrate surnamed Lu took the opportunity to say: "Mao Daren is upright, strong and upright, unflattering, and impartial, but he has also offended many people because of this, and he has been trapped in the post of county magistrate for more than ten years." And because of the frequent local perennial famines, although there is a Feixi Temple on the Bafen Mountain, but there is nothing to do in the place of Lingxiu, so I implore the imperial court to build a temple here, and then respectfully invite the monks to come to preach the Dharma, and do not want to be falsely accused by traitors because of this, resulting in the desire of Lord Yin of Ezhou Mansion to be promoted, because of the oppression of power from Chang'an City, so that the promotion order had to be abolished halfway! ”

Looking at the county magistrate surnamed Lu, who was quite outspoken, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh loudly, he waved his hand to stop Mao Zhixian's eyes and motioned to his subordinates, and said in a deep voice:

"I know the grievances of Mao Zhixian, it just so happens that Lord Ming is in Ezhou City, and one of my Shang Fang swords, which is a member of the royal family surnamed Li in Chang'an City, if it is involved in this matter, it will also be severely punished. Don't mention this matter again, but I will personally report to King Ming! ”

Mao Zhixian said worriedly, "Mr. Li, please think twice, after all, this matter has involved a certain big family in Chang'an City!" ”

Sun Simiao laughed on the side, "The county magistrate is really sincere!" However, he Li Zhi and Li Zhengwen also don't rub sand in their eyes, otherwise they wouldn't be angry because of Luo Ming's behavior! Besides, you don't know, do you? He personally ordered two of the ten kings to fall from this family and become commoners, and the entire Tang Dynasty, what family did he dare not provoke? ”

Of course, these bystanders know, especially the county governor surnamed Lu, who is himself an auxiliary official in the county, acting as an assistant official in the county, and he is going to Chang'an City, so he knows about the major matters that happened in the imperial court.

The existence of such positions is because the county officials themselves have positions in the imperial court, so they are not the official governors of the county, and more than 100 years later, in the Song Dynasty, in order to improve the governance of officials and rebuild the prestige of the county order, court officials were sent to preside over county affairs.

But this county magistrate is only an acting temporary dispatch, not a county order, he has already dared to admonish him before, and if he has something to say at this time, he will not dare to overstep Mao Zhixian slightly.

Li Zhi understood some things in officialdom very well, so he continued: "Mao Zhixian has the ability to rise one step higher, and there are many available people in Lord Yin, but remember that this matter must not be mentioned again!" Especially you, otherwise, no matter how hard Mao Zhixian is, and no matter how wise and decisive Lord Fu Yin is, it is inevitable that there will be some taboo people who are extremely sensitive to this kind of subordinate officials applying for promotion. ”

"So Mr. Li doesn't have to worry about this anymore, the reasons are very complicated!" Mao Zhixian said.

Li Zhi said happily, "It's not difficult for me, and I can use this incident to dig out those people in Chang'an City first, and the matter of Mao Zhixian will become a matter of course, and others have nothing to say!" ”

While talking, a group of people from afar came down from the mountain, several of them were dressed up, and when they saw Luo Ming in the prisoner car, their faces immediately became wonderful.

There is no lack of schadenfreude, obviously Feixi Temple's usual style, very teaching Ling Jinan Temple monks can not see.

Soon someone introduced the big host Qingzhao among the people, who was skinny, a simple linen dress, and his eyes were still lazy and open to the vulgar, which seemed to be ordinary, but the wisdom was hidden, just like the wisdom of the Buddha's eyes.

He is not a cultivator, but he walks steadily, has a faint virtue and noble temperament, and is more calm in his calmness.

After clasping his hands together and exchanging salutes with everyone, Qingzhao said bluntly: "The person in the prisoner car was the leader, and he secretly sent Huitong, the person in charge of Feixi Temple, to make half of the Bafen Mountain a miasma. The most contrary to the precepts of Buddhism is that he even used the so-called spirituality that does not exist in the Feixi Spring to deceive the pilgrims who enter the incense to worship their property. For this reason, Quan concocted a foolish function to coerce and lure many people to be deceived. ”

"So, it's true that the people in Feixi Temple are misbehaving?" Li Zhi said coldly.

"Not only is it misconduct, but also domineering, not only frequently send people to the door, with force and Lingji South Temple to compete for pilgrims, but also more than once the temple to pray for God rain practice of the merit of their own. It is said that there are people in the court who will give a certain amount of silver every year according to this matter, and that person I have seen is from the Xiao family in Chang'an City! ”

"Chang'an Xiao's family? Hmph, there is such a number, and it is the only family surnamed Xiao, and its head is indeed a high-ranking official of the imperial court. ”

Li Zhi smiled dryly, although he himself claimed to be a first-class member, in fact, in the official rank, there was no positive one-product system, but from the second grade, each grade was divided into positive and from, which shows that the third-grade canonization is already a very high rank.
