Chapter 209 Chance Encounters
"Hey, this inn is empty, donor's shop, don't let people stay in the store?"
"Is the shopkeeper looking down on me and other monks, afraid that I won't have the money to pay for the donor's stay?"
"The master laughed, it's not that the villain doesn't let the master live in the hotel, it's that the store was contracted yesterday, how can the villain lose his trust?"
When Gao Sheng and Wu Qianjun heard the quarrel, they had already come to the front yard of the inn, and saw the shopkeeper in the inn smiling and persuading, and there were several men in gray monk robes standing in the hall, including young people and middle-aged people.
It's just that these men in monk's robes all have their hair grown, and they say that they are monks but they don't look like monks, and that they are not monks and wear monk's robes, which is strange.
But the shopkeeper calls them "masters", then these people are probably monks.
Gao Sheng saw that these monks were dressed like this, different from ordinary Buddhist disciples, and he was curious, so he stood beside him and didn't speak, just watching the shopkeeper refuse to let these monks stay.
And Wu Qianjun also seemed to feel strange, sitting on the sidelines, watching with great interest.
At this moment, hearing the quarrel in the inn, Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong also came to the hall together.
Seeing these strange monks, Wei Yuanzhong was also full of curiosity, but it was Di Renjie, when he saw these strange monks, his brows were twisted together, and a pair of small eyes flashed with a strange light.
Di Fatzi's expression fell in Gao Sheng's eyes, making him smile slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Why, Huaiying knows the identities of these people?" ”
Of course, Di Renjie knew that the people in his mouth were referring to this group of noisy monks who were blocking the inn.
Di Renjie lowered his voice and said, "Does the third brother know about Manichaeism?" ”
Gao Sheng was slightly stunned, then nodded.
In fact, as early as the Sui Dynasty, Manichaeism had been introduced to Middle-earth, and in the Tang Dynasty, Manichaeism had an unprecedented development.
The reason for this is that the Tang Dynasty was tolerant of religion and allowed pagan religions to set up temples and teach scriptures in the Tang Dynasty, which shows the degree of enlightenment.
Di Fatzi said: "When Huaiying reviewed Chen Shuozhen's anti-case file in Dali Temple, he found that Chen Shuozhen was agitating the people to rebel, and he was also using Manichaeism to develop believers, and his heart was punishable. ”
Di Fatzi is also a person who is familiar with history books, and of course knows that in history, many "rebellions" were launched in the name of religion, based on loose religious organizations, using rumors, falsehoods, etc. to launch military operations to achieve the goals of careerists.
Religion has repeatedly become the vanguard of dynastic change in history.
Gao raised the pressure and asked in a low voice: "Since the government knows that the rebels are using Manichaeism to induce the people to rebel, why don't they ban it?" ”
Di Fatzi was taken aback, looked at Gao Sheng a little blankly, and said: "Third brother, Manichaeism is Manichaeism, and anti-thieves are anti-thieves. ”
"That's right." Gao Sheng smiled.
Lao Tzu is the eldest brother and has to be tolerant, this is the mentality of the Tang Dynasty.
Di Renjie finally said: "It's just that this Manichaean monk appeared here, which is strange. ”
Gao Sheng nodded, Di Renjie's words were to the point.
Wei Yuanzhong and Wu Qianjun also listened to the conversation between the two, while looking at the shopkeeper with a serious face, and communicating with the Manichaean monks.
It seems that the Manichaean monks did not dare to come hard, and made too much trouble about it, and the ink of the shopkeeper for a long time, without any progress, finally left the store.
Looking at the back of the Manichaean monks leaving, Di Renjie blinked his small eyes and sighed: "I always feel that this group of Manichaean monks is a little strange. ”
Gao Sheng smiled: "Because these Manichaean monks are fake. ”
"Fake?" Di Renjie, Wei Yuanzhong and Wu Qianjun were all stunned.
It is not that these "monks" have long hair, and Gao Sheng concludes that they are fake, but that the practices of these "monks" are very Manichaean teachings, which makes him so conclude that these Manichaean monks are fakes.
Although Gao Sheng did not know the teachings of Manichaeism, Manichaeism has elements of Buddhism and Christianity, and Manichaeism believes that the forces of good and evil are equal in strength, and this is also a good sect that careerists often use to rebel.
But the Manichaean doctrine is also to make people good, and arguing with the treasurer like this is completely contrary to Manichaeism.
Gao Sheng said that these "monks" were fake, and there were some speculative elements.
Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong have known Gao Sheng for a long time, and they don't ask why they are a little blind to him, and they directly said to Wu Qianjun in a voice: "I am afraid that these fake monks have a big stake, and I ask Lao Wu to follow these fake monks and go to see what is going on." ”
When Wu Qianjun heard Di Fatzi say this, he was also enlightened, nodded hurriedly, and chased him out of the inn directly.
The group was ordered by the emperor to come to Jiangnan Province, in order to secretly investigate why Chen Shuozhen was able to induce the people to rebel in Jiangnan Province, but in other places in the Tang Dynasty, Chen Shuozhen did not appear second?
What Li Zhi wants is the root.
This emperor, under the aura of Zhenguan's rule, is bent on surpassing his father and becoming another emperor through the ages.
Li Zhi knows that it is not easy to surpass his father Li Shimin's exploits, not to mention that the court is still his father Li Shimin's courtiers, and if he wants to show his strength, he must go through a bloody storm.
Chen Shuozhen's counter-case in Jiangnan Province will never be allowed to appear a second time, and he still understands the truth that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and he must thoroughly investigate the root cause of Chen Shuozhen's easy rebellion.
Therefore, as soon as Di Renjie reminded him, Wu Qianjun was enlightened and understood that these people who might be Manichaean false monks may have something to do with Chen Shuozhen's rebellion, because Chen Shuozhen's rebellion was made with the help of Manichaeism to confuse believers.
When the shopkeeper saw Gao Sheng, the rich man, appear, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and after Gao Sheng returned the gift, he let the shopkeeper stay.
Anyone who runs an inn or a wine shop will come into contact with all kinds of people every day, and know that there are many things in the market and many sources of information.
Looking at the trembling shopkeeper, Gao Sheng smiled and said: "The shopkeeper, please sit down, eat tea, I also want to ask the shopkeeper what is new recently." ”
The shopkeeper sat down in a hurry, and Di Renjie didn't take his identity, but directly poured tea for the shopkeeper with a teapot.
The shopkeeper's hand was shocked, and he hurriedly said to Gao Sheng: "I don't know what Lang Jun wants to ask, as long as the villain knows, he will never hide it from Lang Jun." ”
Gao Sheng took a sip of tea with a smile, and asked the shopkeeper to adjust to the psychological inquiry, and then said: "Dissatisfied with the shopkeeper, something new that I want to hear, naturally I want to do it with the thief Chen Shuo, no matter how big or small, the shopkeeper will tell me." ”
"Ahh When the shopkeeper heard this, the master on the other side wanted to listen to the anti-thief, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants......
