Zhang Xuan heard these words, did not refute, just shook his head, and said softly: "Buddhism may have merit, but Shamen has other thoughts, now in the north, there are many wars, this time it is difficult, the poor road has seen many tragic conditions, and see many barren places, but there is one point, but it is very strange, that is, the cloth clothes are miserable, there are many people from the Taoist sect in and out, and the camp where the commander is in power is often by monks. ”

"Oh?" Chen Zhi's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

Zhang Xuan's words actually wanted to influence Chen Zhi's judgment, but he no longer started from simple Buddhist habits, but secretly touched on the place where Chen Zhi, a powerful bureaucrat in a corner, paid the most attention.

The place where the cloth clothes are scattered, in fact, is talking about the displaced people, among which there are many people, this is the meaning of being used for self-blackening, because in the past history, wherever there were people scattered, there were many Wudoumi disciples who haunted, preached and pulled people, and gradually formed a scale, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion happened like this.

It can be seen that the entry and exit of Taoists is by no means a good thing.

However, in the army of displaced people, it is different.

"What the Taoist said is interesting," Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "These five doumi disciples sometimes have demagogic words, in the past, there were three Zhang Jiao, who gathered people's hearts with Taiping Dao, but they became rebels and eroded several states, this lesson is still there, but the Taoist mentioned that the Taoist walked out into the place of the people in distress, didn't he remind Chen to raise troops to suppress it in order to cut off this hidden danger?" ”

"Why does the prince knowingly ask?" Zhang Xuan shook his head and said in a rather sincere tone: "The Daomen are scattered, the good and the bad are uneven, just like the people of the world, there are good and bad, this is cast by the way of heaven, people have no ability to reverse, the Daomen is a little evil, and they have taken the crooked road, they will be spurned by future generations, and it is understandable, but today's situation, Jizhou is erosive, the homeless people are thieves, or they are the precursors of foreign races, and they have long lost their purity. It's a good thing for the imperial court! ”

Chen Zhi tapped lightly on the table and asked; "Isn't that good news for Shile the Grim?"

Zhang Xuan said bluntly: "Shi Le, bandits, such a character should have been killed, but his person only occupies a corner of Jizhou at the moment, where can it become a climate, if the displaced people are scattered, it can make this person stronger, making it difficult for the court to exterminate, it can only show that the court is wrong." ”

Li Shi on the side was stunned when he heard this, and then he was worried and thoughtful.

Chen Zhi laughed: "This Daoist is so bold to say such things in front of me, but in this way, doesn't it seem that there is indeed a hidden danger in the Daomen?" Are you trying to belittle Buddhism, and you won't even let go of your own family? ”

"Some people who have gone astray in my Taoism may cause human disasters, but in fact, they are still in the clear place," Zhang Xuan did not deny it, but changed the conversation and led the topic towards the Shamen monks, "And the monks often choose one or two powerful people, develop them into Buddhists, and then use this as a force, and the forcible promotion of righteousness and brightness distorts my Chinese Taoism!" And this kind of action, even the people of insight in the court can see it, and they are powerless to reverse it, behind the implementation of Gain, there is often a background, and if you want to eradicate it, the only way to prevent it is to prevent it from getting worse, and kill all kinds of hidden dangers at the beginning! ”

Chen Zhi thought for a while, recalled what he had seen, as well as some Buddhist practices in history, and couldn't help nodding secretly, and said: "What do you mean is that these high-ranking monks who came with the family actually wanted Chen to believe in Buddhism, so they came?" ”

"There must be this purpose, and ......" Zhang Xuan suddenly jumped as he spoke, "Didn't the prince of the government invite the two of us here, and didn't he also mean to ask about the situation in Jizhou?" ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, you have come all the way, you are taking the road of Jizhou, I heard that the situation over there has changed again, I don't know what the situation is, with the insight of the Taoist, there should be an opinion." ”

"That poor road is ugly," Zhang Xuan was not polite, "The current situation in Jizhou, it looks chaotic, in fact, it has been distinct, with the invasion of Shile, and the siege of Zhao, sweeping the three counties, prestige has been established, but also the collection of many rogue militia horses, faintly in the west of Jizhou to gain a firm foothold, and the king of Jiangdu in the east, was originally sent by the imperial court to let him suppress the rebellion in Jizhou, but because of various willingness, he hesitated, sat back and watched the thieves become bigger, and now under the strong order of the imperial court, there is the intention of sending troops, this is still the relationship between the prince of Zhao and the court, but judging from the situation of several counties under the rule of King Jiangdu, it is difficult to break Shile, unless there is external help. ”

"The Taoist chief has a good heart, and he points out the situation in one sentence, but since the prince of Zhao Wang went to ask for help, he will always have the help of the imperial court, except for the soldiers and horses of the king of Jiangdu, I am afraid that the surrounding military towns, including my generation of counties, will receive orders, not to mention that the soldiers and horses will come directly from ......Luoyang."

"Taishou misunderstands the meaning of Poor Dao," Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, "What Poor Dao wants to say is not actually a military rivalry, but to discover the movement of the monks of this Shamen, where the King of Jiangdu is stationed, there are monks in and out, and on the way to Shile March, there are also monks to teach the Fa, and even Poor Dao and others have made a detour for safety, I heard that the ancestor of Najiyin is stationed, and he can actually see monks entering and leaving the mansion of the family!" ”

Chen Zhi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said: "What do you mean is that these monks, regardless of the government, the vassal king, or the thieves, will come to visit if they have some authority and occupy the territory?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded and said: "At that time, such an act can already be said to be exhaustive, without any intention at all, but for the purpose of spreading the Fa, there is no distinction between good and bad, so when the monks come to the place of the king, there must be monks who go to the king's side, maybe even the Xianbei people outside the Sai, they will not let go!" ”

As he spoke, he paused suddenly, and then said: "Perhaps, characters like Xianbei people and Qianren people are more favored by them, after all, these people are inherently people who have read the scriptures, but most of them are not immersed in the Huaxia Taoism, and it is easier to get the method of Shamen!" ”

Chen Zhi's brows furrowed, because he knew very well that Zhang Xuan's words were not alarmist, in the original history, Buddhism and the Central Plains Dynasty established by foreign races complemented each other, and the impact on the Central Plains region was far-reaching.

However, he also knew very well that in Zhang Xuan's words, there was also his own content to play on the topic, so he nodded and said: "What the Taoist said is good, but you go all the way north, there are not many people, and you have to worry about your own safety, I'm afraid there are not many people sent out to investigate the situation, and what you say will inevitably have an element of speculation, fortunately, you can see a lot of monks today, why don't you talk to them at the dinner, how about it?" ”

In this situation, Zhang Xuan could only nod his head, and then the two of them said goodbye and prepared for the dinner.

The whole city is busy with this.
