Chapter 415: Jiu Niang's curiosity
Besides, he also sighed, he himself couldn't figure out whether ordering someone to kill was considered killing, and Murong Yanran obviously couldn't explain it clearly.
As long as you don't kill with your own hands, it doesn't count as killing. He also felt that his theory was a bit hypocritical, but he could only be an ostrich.
Those high-ranking emperors opened up the territory and expanded the territory, fought everywhere, and killed hundreds of thousands of millions of people at every turn, and they all ordered others to do it, isn't this considered killing?
Don't say that in this position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, it is inevitable to order people to kill and torture, that is, he is just a white-clothed showman, strong enemies are all over the world, and there are many people who want his life, and it is difficult to say whether he can keep not killing in the end. At least the people who were killed by King Qin's faction to protect him had his share.
"Childe, don't worry about these little things, kill when you should kill, try not to kill or kill less. Keeping one's own safety first comes first, and if one's life can't be saved, what's the point of keeping the precepts? The ancestors of the Venerable family will probably not approve of you doing this. Murong Yanran followed the good path.
"That's all it can be." Besides, he smiled bitterly in frustration.
"You're a very smart person, almost all the same as me, why can't you figure this out?" Jiuniang said disdainfully.
Besides, he and Murong Yanran both laughed, Jiuniang is indeed smart, but it would be a joke to say that she is smarter than that.
"What are you laughing at? I'm not convinced, he just looks smart, in fact, he is an elm head in many things, and he is not enlightened at all, much worse than me. Jiuniang continued.
"Indeed, I'm not as far away as the ninth sister." Besides, he was convinced, and he was also convinced by this cheeky kung fu.
"Also, what precepts and rules are written by your ancestors when they are idle and tossed for future generations to play, think about it, are precepts and precepts the same thing? Buddhism's observance of the precepts also depends on the specific situation, not to mention ordinary people? I think you're doing it to yourself. Jiuniang continued to say disdainfully.
"Well, that's the reason, I'll ask the great monk of Daxiangguo Temple one day to see what he thinks about this problem." Besides, he laughed.
"He won't admit to killing, you're so stupid." Jiuniang covered half of her mouth and whispered.
Besides, he laughed out loud, and the gloom in his heart was also dispelled.
"Nonsense." Murong Yanran also scolded with a smile.
"Really, Master, tell me, don't they kill?" Jiu Niang asked with wide eyes.
Murong Yanran was silent, obviously acquiescing to Jiu Niang's statement.
"The reason why they kill is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but there are so many demons in this world, I don't believe it!" Jiuniang said indignantly.
Besides, he smiled: "Ninth sister, who provoked you today, so angry?" ”
"I'm not like you, I'm a murderer. If anyone messes with me, whether it's a demon or not, click it. Jiu Niang pulled her neck with her hand and said.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense." Murong Yanran stopped her with a wry smile.
Daxiangguo Temple is the leading faction in the Qinwang faction, it can be said that the Qinwang faction was the national teacher Daoyan based on the Daxiangguo Temple to expand little by little, and finally formed the largest faction in the country, which is no worse than the power of the White Lotus Sect, and it is very likely to be larger.
The disadvantage of the Qinwang faction is also that it is too big, and there are many internal factions, and it is difficult to unify them together, but it is only respected by a few particularly large factions such as the Great Xiangguo Temple, the Heavenly Master Sect, and the Wudang Sect.
Even now, the status of the Great Xiangguo Temple in the Qinwang Sect is still the highest, and it is better than the Heavenly Master Sect and the Wudang Sect. Jiuniang probably couldn't get used to seeing the lofty faces of the monks of Daxiangguo Temple, so she sprayed them behind her back and vomited quickly.
"Hey, where did your talisman go?" Jiu Niang grabbed her wrist again and studied it carefully.
"Well, I don't know." Besides, he said.
He really didn't know, usually when the talisman was not revealed, there was no trace at all, and he couldn't feel the existence of the talisman, and sometimes he even wondered if it had melted into the blood.
"I'm going to do some research to see where it is." Jiu Niang didn't shy away from suspicion, rubbing her wrists and arms.
Jiu Niang's tender fingers touched his wrist and arm, which should have been a wonderful touch, but it was creepy, and his face turned yellow, he was afraid that this girl would cut off his arm on a whim and take it back for study.
This girl can definitely do it, Jiu Niang's ruthlessness is completely convinced, and she feels scared from the bottom of her heart.
"Hey, where did you go?" Jiuniang rubbed and kneaded, and pondered in wonder.
"Okay, don't scare the son, I didn't see the son's face was sallow." Murong Yanran hurriedly pulled away Jiu Niang's hand.
"It's still a man, what are you afraid of, I won't hurt you." Jiuniang was sullen.
Besides, I thought to myself what I'm afraid of, your fingers touch it like there are ten eyes of a king snake crawling on my arm, can I not be afraid, even if I don't bite, I'm afraid.
"Stingy, if you don't want to give it, forget it, don't even let you study it." Jiu Niang stomped her foot and left.
"Don't be surprised, this girl is like this." Murong Yanran smiled apologetically and left.
Besides, I breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Suddenly, the governor Wang Chonggu and the governor Fang came over at the right time to ask if the danger outside had been lifted and if they could go back to the yamen.
Moreover, he said with a smile: "The two adults can go back to the yamen to work, but the city gate still has to be closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave unless there is my order or holy decree." The other two adults should pacify the soldiers in the city, don't let them make trouble, report me if there is any situation, and I will clean them up. ”
Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi both nodded and agreed.
"By the way, Lord Qincha, has Li Zhipeng been recruited?" Wang Chonggu asked.
"He may have committed too many sins to be guilty of unless I first pardon him for all his crimes. I didn't say yes. Besides.
"What? He asked for amnesty? Wang Chonggu was shocked.
Moreover, now that the power in his hands is very large, ordinary sins can be forgiven in a word, and if he asks for amnesty, it must be a crime of great rebellion such as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and it is not included in the pardon.
"So there's something wrong with him?" Fang was also shocked.
The two of them couldn't get used to Li Zhipeng's usual domineering appearance, but the chief officers of the border army were almost all virtuous and used to seeing it, but they couldn't imagine that this guy was hiding so deeply and had such a big problem.
Especially Wang Chonggu was even more shocked into a cold sweat, if Li Zhipeng really colluded with Zhao Quan of the White Lotus Sect or colluded with King Alta, what else is the pass guarding here, what checkpoints, what city walls, it is useless, the Tatar cavalry rushed over, Li Zhipeng should be combined with the outside, and the border pass was broken in minutes.
"Thanks to Lord Qincha's clever calculation, a catastrophe has been avoided at the border pass." Wang Chonggu prayed and sang well.
It turned out that he had been deprived of his governor's rights without notifying him, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, but now he was really grateful from the bottom of his heart.
If the border pass is broken, everyone else can escape, only he and Fang can't escape at the right time, it is basically the life of suicide, you can't escape, you can't fight, of course, you can't surrender, what else can you do besides suicide and martyrdom?
Fang Fengshi thought the same as he thought, and finding out Li Zhipeng was equivalent to saving his life, and also saving the lives of his family, this kindness is too great.
Although Li Zhipeng did not confess, he took the initiative to ask for amnesty, which is actually equivalent to a confession.
It is not a crime to be arrogant, and it is not a big crime in the court to make noise or even mutiny, so what is a crime, and it is a big crime that must be used and pardoned by the minister with full powers? Then there is only rebellion or betrayal.
Li Zhipeng did not feel that he was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, he just accepted the money and was defeated without a fight, and vacated the area he defended to the Tatars, but in the eyes of the imperial court, this was a collaborator with the enemy and betrayed the country, and there was no room for discussion.
He also knew that there was no quaffeting, so he came up and asked for amnesty, thinking that he was so young that he could agree immediately.
Ignoring him, he turned and walked away, waiting for the Lord of the Yama Helm to confess.
"It can't be said that the catastrophe will be avoided now, I don't know how many White Lotus Sectarians are in the border army, how many of their people are mixed in Datong City and even Xuanfu, these are all hidden dangers, we must think of priing open their mouths, and then wipe out the White Lotus Cultists, so that the border defense is really foolproof." Besides, I thought about it.
"Can this be done?" Wang Chonggu couldn't believe it.
It is well known that there are White Lotus Sectists in the border army, but what everyone does not know is the identity of these people, as for the residents of the city and even the people in various industries of Shinong, industry and commerce, there are White Lotus Cultists, which is also well known, and of course there are things that everyone does not know.
Trying to catch all the White Lotus Sect disciples like rats was impossible in Wang Chonggu's opinion, and no one had ever done it.
But besides, I believe that it can be done, just like Wang Yangming, when he was the governor of Guangxi, didn't he wipe out all the bandits that had not been exterminated for hundreds of years?
Of course, he didn't get a good deal with him, and the people in the court, especially the military department, said that he had nothing to do and showed off himself, who told you to suppress the bandits? I don't have that order.
However, the governor of a province does not need the order of the imperial court to suppress bandits, this is the true nature of the feudal officials.
Besides, it is the same situation now, Zhang Whale has already scolded him for being troublesome, the court sent you out to negotiate, you are in charge of local affairs, and you have stretched out your hand to the border army, isn't this a manifestation of great joy?
However, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the minister with full powers, he has the right to handle any affairs, and there is nothing beyond the scope of his authority, whether it is civil affairs, military affairs, or even border defense.
However, this is destined to be a thankless act, and in the future, someone will definitely impeach him for having nothing to do, breeding right and wrong everywhere, etc., he can already think of that scene.
But he never wanted to be pleased by the people in the court, as long as he lived up to his own heart.
