Part 4 Madness Against the Sky Chapter 4375 The Justice of the Taoist Priest
On this day, the staggering iron cavalry finally ate their meal after leaving the capital|l When they passed the official document of the Privy Council to Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing responded quickly, and Xuzhou got Zhao Xing's reply, and immediately allocated enough food for them, and also presented them with 100 pigs to raise the army......
The Iron Cavalry ate this fat meal with gratitude, and then, their march speed increased, and the support of the counties along the way began to be sufficient, and they hurried to Xiuzhou on Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Yamen of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau is located in Xiuzhou. Due to the influence of the Qiantang tide, Hangzhou's marine terminal is closed to the outside world for at least one month every year, so the headquarters of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau has set up its own yamen in Huating County, Xiuzhou, which is also the anchorage of the First Fleet of Nanyang. At the same time, the Suzaku Army was also stationed in the area.
But Zhao Xing did not work in Huating, his office was still in his own castle, but due to the influence of the Qiantang tide, the Nanyang Affairs Bureau in addition to the establishment of the command headquarters in Xiuzhou, but also set up a temporary anchorage in the neighboring Changguo County Zhongshan Island, when the Qiantang tide rose, the headquarters stationed in Hangzhou went to Changguo to temporarily avoid the tide.
Not to mention that the Iron Cavalry entered the Xiuzhou military camp to prepare for the New Year, when the Iron Cavalry held a Chinese New Year's Eve dance to wash away the journey, Zheng Juzhong also arrived in Hangzhou, accompanied by Princess Changguo, Zhao Xing greeted the Dazai and the princess according to etiquette, and then pulled the two to watch the dance in front of the castle.
Taoist master Lin Lingsu was led to Zhao Xing, the legendary half-honored and half-withered Lin Lingsu stood in front of Zhao Xing, and before he could speak, Cheng Azhu behind Zhao Xing had already smoked cold air frequently.
Zhao Xing looked at Lin Lingsu carefully, the half-glorious and half-withered face in ancient times was said to be facial nerve paralysis caused by stroke in modern times, and as a result, the expression on one side of the face remained normal, and the expression muscles on the other side of the face were all paralyzed. In modern times, this kind of face is a disease, and in ancient times, this face is a kind of auspiciousness, which is called "fairy face".
Lin Lingsu looked at Zhao Xing, a smile appeared on his face, this smile was placed on his face, only half of it was revealed, the corner of his left lip was upturned, his left eye was full of smiles, but the right lip was stiff like dead wood, and his right eye was blank. This weird smile made Zhao Xing a little creepy, and he muttered in his heart: "Is this the immortal smile that our Daojun Emperor reveres?" ”
"Poor Dao is ridiculous", Lin Lingsu solemnly thanked Zhao Xing with this weird smile: "Poor Dao thought that he would go overseas, but he didn't expect the Taiwei to take it in...... Five thousand words omitted below"
Zhao Xing stretched out his hand to interrupt Lin Lingsu's talking, and he reminded lightly: "I took you in because you said a fair word to your teacher." ”
Lin Lingsu crooked his mouth and smiled: "Po Xian is also the master of the Huang Xiang family!" ”
This "half-honored and half-withered" Lin Lingsu Master Lin was so eloquent that he couldn't say it. History records. Master Lin gave a lecture. Although there is nothing extraordinary. But it's always funny. The language is vivid and intelligent. The audience was shocked and happy and sad at first glance. From time to time, there was a burst of laughter. The atmosphere was very lively and enthusiastic.
In fact. These techniques are familiar to modern people. Chinese living today. In particular, Chinese people who have heard all kinds of master teachings or MLM courses are no strangers to this. And the Sect Leader Dao Monarch Emperor is at such a moment. It's also a lot of fun. "There is no courtesy of a monarch and a minister". In a trance. The Emperor may have really regarded himself as the eldest son of the Jade Emperor.
Under the initiative of the emperor. All the country's Taoist priests have official ranks. Salary, wages and benefits according to eligibility. As a result, people flock to it. Then. In order to expand the influence of Taoism. At each lecture conference, the imperial court used taxpayers' land money to set up a "free lunch". And listening to the scriptures can get 300 dollars in alms. Outcome. Many poor people buy a piece of green cloth. Dressed as a Taoist priest to listen to the lecture. Afterwards, receive money for food.
Reputedly. For each lecture conference, the imperial court allocated local financial expenses equivalent to about one million yuan today. Of course. Half of them went to the Taoists. It is charged as a lecture venue. A small portion is used to set up a large meal and give alms to the listeners.
Reputedly. At that time, Lin Lingsu alone had more than 20,000 disciples. Brocade clothes and jade food are swaggering inside and outside the capital. He is extremely hot. It is even known as the "Taoist Two Mansions". It means that this person's power can already be tied with the prime minister.
It is at such a moment. Chu Hui, Xianqing, Lin Ling, and Su Lin masterfully pretentious. It led to Emperor Huizong's rethinking of the Yuanyou Party case and the convictions of the Shangyan incident.
Historical records say that one day, the emperor held a banquet in Taiqing Building, and Lin Lingsu served the banquet.
It just so happened that downstairs in Taiqing, there was a monument to the Yuanyou Party erected by Zhezong. Lin Lingsu walked to the monument and bowed. The emperor was amazed and asked him why he was so. Master Zhuang Rong replied: "Most of the names on this tablet are stars in the sky, and the ministers are not polite, how will everyone get along when they return to the sky in the future?" ”
It is said that this bull-nosed veteran also immediately recited a poem. The poem said: Su Huang is not a guest, and Tong Cai is a social minister. Thirty years have been inconclusive, I don't know who the traitor is?
Zhao Xing's words of gratitude to Lin Lingsu for being a teacher refer to what Lin Lingsu did.
Zhao Xing felt that he couldn't find any evidence of the relationship between this Lin Lingsu and Su Dongpo, he thought that this was the historical interference of his own appearance, and thought that Lin Lingsu
Please him. He didn't know that in the absence of his history, Lin Lingsu). At that time, Lin Lingsu suddenly spoke for those unlucky people, which was probably an important reason for Song Huizong's attitude towards the Yuanyou party to improve significantly.
In addition to Lin Lingsu, an unknown Taoist priest also did the same, and it is said that once the emperor visited a Taoist temple. In front of the emperor, the Taoist priest in the temple bowed to God and bowed to the seal, and it took a long time to get up. The Emperor waited for a long time in amazement, and then asked him what had happened. The Taoist priest replied, "When I went to the office of the Jade Emperor of God just now, it was just in time for Kuisu to report to God, and it took a long time for him to finish. ”
When the emperor heard this, he sighed; And he asked who he was. What did you report to God? The Taoist priest replied, "The ministers are far away, they can't hear clearly, and they don't know what they are talking about." However, that Kui Suchen saw it clearly, it was Su Shi and Su Dongpo, the former Duanming Hall Scholar. ”
It is said that when Emperor Huizong heard this, he was greatly changed, and then he did not increase the persecution of the Yuanyou party.
In the original time and space, Song Huizong stopped the persecution of the Yuanyou followers after all the Yuanyou followers were persecuted to death, and the local officials had no new persecution targets, so they stopped chasing and killing the Yuanyou followers......
Because of the appearance of Zhao Xing, history went wrong a little here, Huang Tingjian used the existence of the ghost army to force Cai Jing to abdicate in one fell swoop, and forced Song Huizong to submit, he is a person who believes in Buddhism, and feels that the country has raised a large number of Taoist priests in vain It is really worth the loss, plus that group of Taoist priests are doing evil in the capital, which is eye-catching, he is angry, and beat all these Taoist priests as demons, and match them overseas, including the 20,000 disciples who Lin Lingsu sat down and registered.
The Taoist priests were escorted in batches, most of the Taoist priests were escorted to Hangzhou, Zhao Xing didn't even see it, and directly let the officials deal with it, after Lin Lingsu arrived, Zhao Xing specially ordered his subordinates to intercept it, but Lin Lingsu's huge number of apprentices he couldn't support, and directly instructed: Lin Lingsu was allowed to select a hundred apprentices to stay by his side to serve, and the rest were all loaded and shipped.
Lin Lingsu is famous for his incessant talking, and when it comes to his antics when he speaks, well, his grimace, no need to make expressions is already funny. Zhao Xing's excuse for leaving him was to let him preside over the military play, and one hundred of his disciples were playing the full role of the play.
An Sida has frowned since Lin Lingsu appeared, and when Zhao Xing and Lin Lingsu answered, he asked with a gloomy face: "My lord, you shouldn't let these evil gods shake your faith, I think ......"
Zhao Xingyi waved his hand: "Forget it, Damu, this is not a religious sacrifice, just a folk custom, and let's treat it as a folk custom, after the dance, isn't the whole army going to carry out a big prayer, that is our faith, Damu, the customs are like this, why insist on it." ”
An Sida also wanted to say, Zhao Xing immediately rushed to add: "I remember that when Catholicism was founded, the Winter Solstice Festival was not set as Christmas, and the Winter Solstice Festival was set as Christmas, and the church just used the ready-made festival of the Winter Solstice Festival. If they had kept this mind, would Nestorianism still be in exile? Therefore, I think Nestorianism cannot repeat the mistakes of the past, so why not show the courage to change at the beginning and adapt to the land in front of us. ”
Zhao Xing said this, An Sida took a step back and lowered his eyes.
During the dialogue between An Sida and Zhao Xing, Lin Lingsu has been staring at this Shaanxi religious pastor with provocative eyes, and when he saw Zhao Xing stopping An Sida, he crooked his mouth and sent a smile, saying: "Zhao Xiang, Poor Dao has a lot of experience in scriptures, I look at the house"
Zhao Xing's face sank: "My house refuses the entry of Taoist priests, and also refuses monks to come to open the altar to preach, so the dance can only start in front of the castle gate, let's start!" ”
Hearing this, An Sida's face softened, Lin Lingsu sighed in disappointment, turned around and returned to the queue, Shuai Fan picked up the bear skin, put it on his body, put on an iron mask, and led the dance.
Immediately, the drums beat and the play began.
Shuai Fan danced for a while, and began to walk towards the military column standing in front of the castle, according to the ceremony, he needed to dance from the front of the team to the end of the team, fortunately, Zhao Xing's army has always been small, so there is no need to overwork.
Shuai Fan danced very seriously, he finished dancing, took off the bear skin, put it on Lin Lingsu, Lin Lingsu shook the magic bell and began to dance.
The people in Zhao Xing's army who are good at gunpowder are not young and old, so this dance method creates a mysterious atmosphere through the fireworks created by gunpowder, so Lin Lingsu's dance seems to be less mysterious than the capital, Zheng Juzhong saw it and sighed: "Chu Hui Xianqing is old, and she is no longer as brave as she was in the past." ”
Princess Changguo, who was beside Dazai Zheng Juzhong, was squinting at Li Qingzhao, who was holding hands with Zhao Feng, and when she heard this, she wrinkled her nose, but said a fair word: "When Lin Lingsu was in the capital, he didn't see any power, but when he was preaching, he was like a joker, funny and funny." ”
At this time, Shuai Fan approached Zhao Xing's side and said with a smile: "Taiwei, you once said that the charging religion always starts with intimidation and ends with charging. I guess Lin Lingsu just wanted to say that there is evil qi in your house, and then he will inevitably ask to exorcise demons and evil spirits for you, and if you go further, he will come to give a lecture on the scriptures for the ladies in the house, but
Dao, these tricks can't be played in front of you. ”
An Sida had been frowning and watching the dance, seeing Lin Lingsu posing all kinds of interesting poses, which caused the soldiers to smile, and those Taoist priests also made all kinds of entertainment expressions, he breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and said with a smile: "It's really a custom." ”
An Sida's statement was tantamount to allowing the Song army to still maintain its traditional troop ceremony. And he didn't know that at this time in England, the Church also allowed soldiers to use the ancient tradition of marching ceremonies.
After a pause, Shuai Fan bowed to Zhao Xing: "Taiwei, do you have any other orders?" ”
Zhao Xing replied: "After the prayer is over, you will set off, this time you will send troops, training is the main, not to win, only to be undefeated." ”
Hou Meng pretended not to understand, and asked in surprise: "Send troops?" Lord Taiwei, where is this conquest? ”
Wang Mingsuo leaned over and whispered: "Liaodong Savage Mountain...... The Iron Cavalry is coming, and the horses in the horse farm are not enough, so they want to go out to search for a group of war horses, and the Qinglong Army is going north for this purpose, but this matter is inconvenient to publicize. ”
Hou Meng frowned in embarrassment: "Liaodong seems to be under the jurisdiction of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau?" ”
Wang Mingsuo, an honest man, smiled slyly and replied evasively: "We are just going to transport horses, neither to send troops to conscript, nor to occupy, to transport horses, just to transport horses." ”
Hou Meng continued to frown: "There is knee-high snow in Liaodong, so I chose to send troops at this time......"
Wang Mingsuo smiled: "The battle last winter made the captain very dissatisfied, and the sons and daughters have summed up the lessons and lessons in the past this time......
The two of them muttered behind their backs, Princess Changguo stared at her bright eyes and listened, at this time, An Sida didn't want to watch Lin Lingsu perform, he strode out of the column, held the flame lotus scepter high, and prayed loudly: "On this day when God the Father comes, let us pray...... God, make me your instrument to sow charity where there is hatred; Where there is cruelty, let me sow forgiveness......
In the face of my ruler, I swear: I will be merciful to the weak; I will face a strong enemy bravely; I will stand up to sinners without reservation; I will fight if I can't fight; I will help those who need my help; I will not harm women or children; I will be faithful to my friends; I will treat my family with sincerity......"
The troops nodded to the ground on one knee and prayed loudly along with An Sida's prayers, and the dance team was no longer ignored, Lin Lingsu had no choice but to recruit his disciples and stand aside to watch An Sida's performance.
The dance held in front of Zhaoxing Castle was also watched by many Hangzhou people, but when An Sida raised the scepter, many of the onlookers also knelt down and prayed loudly.
The solemn scene lasted until the end of the prayer, An Sida did not give Lin Lingsu another chance to perform, he waved his scepter, Shuai Fan bowed his head and kissed his scepter, accepted his blessing, and then turned around and ordered: "All the armies board the boat!" ”
An Sida saluted the soldiers, touched the soldiers' heads one by one to show blessings, the troops began to board the boat, the dance began to dance again, Lin Lingsu led his apprentices to the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, according to the regulations he had to cross the entire Hangzhou streets, and then climbed the Nanshan Mountain, held the final "burial" ceremony. Seeing him dance again, Anstar turned and walked towards the castle. The officials present followed closely, and Zhao Xing had no choice but to turn around and invite Zheng Juzhong and the princess back to the castle.
Zheng Juzhong asked in surprise as he walked: "Is this An Damu's mana higher than Chu Hui Xianqing?" ”
Zhao Xing shook his head with a smile, and whispered in a mysterious tone close to Zheng Juzhong's ear: "Don't tell anyone else, I'll tell you the truth...... Second, I don't have a good evaluation of the high mana, but most of the medical officers in our army are trained by Jingjiao, I don't pay them, and they come to our army for free to treat the injuries of the soldiers, so I have to accommodate in many ways. ”
Zheng Juzhong laughed, he used the attitude of not offending ghosts and gods typical of Chinese people, and said in disbelief: "Lord Zhao's attitude is not good, I have something to do in my spare time, I want to listen to this mage open the altar and talk about the scriptures." ”
When Zheng Juzhong was talking to Zhao Xing, according to etiquette, it was the princess who went first, and the princess was pricking up her ears and listening to the conversation behind them, Zhao Xing saw that Princess Changguo shook her head slightly, but her feet didn't stop.
He laughed and added: "However, Lord Zheng wants to listen to the Great Shepherd, it is okay, but although this Great Shepherd is kind, his god is very domineering, thinking that he is the only righteous god between heaven and earth, and there is no god except him." Therefore, after listening to him, you will listen to other Buddhist teachings, which will inevitably be even more disrespectful. ”
Zheng Juzhong nodded: "He actually thinks that he is the only righteous god, and this kind of self-righteousness is not harmed by evil worship, maybe his god is really the only god." ”
At this time, Princess Changguo nodded slightly as she walked.
Returning to the warm hall, Cheng Azhu invited Princess Changguo to go upstairs to listen to the play, Princess Changguo's eyes glanced at Zhao Feng, and now Zhao Feng was talking to Li Qingzhao, she nodded slightly, and reluctantly followed Cheng Azhu.
After she left, Zheng Juzhong smiled and said his purpose: "I'm here, one is to accompany the county lord to see her Changguo fiefdom, and the other is ......."
Before Zheng Juzhong finished speaking, An Sida turned around and said goodbye: "Captain, I'll go and rest first." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next,,More chapters,Support for work,Support!) )
