Zhou Quan did not directly punish Fu Youwen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Just like the prime minister Bingji of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty asked Niu Pan and did not ask about the brawl, Zhou Quan did not want to directly interrogate and sentence, this kind of matter naturally has a judicial department in charge of law to deal with, if he directly intervenes, not only overstepping his authority, but also setting a bad example.

He can directly intervene in this case, so in the future, local political officials and generals of a military town can also directly intervene in some cases?

Although this kind of man-rule cannot be eradicated, Zhou Quan still hopes to start with himself and avoid it as much as possible.

The monks of the White Horse Temple, after learning that Zhou Quan was coming, were ready to put on a great ceremony to welcome Zhou Quan.

This temple is the ancestral temple of Huaxia Shijiao, Zhao Ji had posthumously sealed his ancestors, and it was also quite prosperous at this time, otherwise, Zhou Quan would not have used it as a temporary residence for those poor people.

In the White Horse Temple, there was a person who also heard the news, he hesitated for a while, and then came to see the abbot of the White Horse Temple.

"Please also ask the master to make it convenient, so that I can meet Zhou Quan." He bowed to the abbot.

The abbot's face became very ugly: "Gong Chen, this matter must not be allowed, you are hiding here in the poor monk, the poor monk has already taken a risk, and he will take you to see the king of Ji...... Your death is small, even the Sangha, and the destruction of this ancient temple, my ancestral court, so what face do I have to see the Buddha and Bodhisattva? Never, never! ”

"Abbot Gaoyi, just rest assured, as long as you mention to Zhou Quan, saying that I am in the temple, he will definitely meet me, and he will not blame me in the temple!" That's humane.

The abbot just shook his head, the man was in a hurry, this may be his only chance, he can't help but seize it, he shouted: "Master abbot, I have made up my mind, if the master does not agree, I will go to see Zhou Quan myself, but I may not be able to see Zhou Quan himself at that time...... If that's the case, under torture, maybe I'll talk nonsense and summon the masters of the White Horse Temple! ”

The abbot was dumbfounded, looked at him for a long time, and then said hatefully: "The poor monk has good intentions to save you, but you want to take revenge like this?" ”

"As a last resort, Master, this is my last chance!"

The abbot was so helpless by him that he could only reluctantly deal with the matter.

It didn't take long to hear that Zhou Quan was about to arrive, and the abbot came out with all the monks to greet him, and that person was among them, but he had already shaved his hair and clothes, dressed as a monk, and followed the abbot, but no one recognized him.

Zhou Quan and Zong Ze stepped into the temple together, and of course the abbot master stepped forward to receive them, but the rest of the monks were separated. Zhou Quan talked a few words with the abbot, but he himself was not interested in Shi Jiazhi's words, and this abbot was not a funny master, so the two were not speculative. Zhou Quan didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he asked people to take out the silver yuan: "There are five hundred silver yuan here to rejoice, Zhou has one thing, to bother the great monk." ”

The abbot had long known the cause and effect, so he said: "Saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, even if His Highness did not order, the poor monk should also take over this matter." Your Highness can rest assured that as long as the Sangha has a bite to eat, these poor people will not be spared. ”

The monk said this, which made Zhou Quan very satisfied, but he has always been a man who respects me a foot, so he smiled and said: "Your temple originally relied on the donor's alms, and with these hundreds of people, some of them need to be raised and cared for, I will let people send money and rice and grain month by month, please let the monk bother more." ”

The abbot was happy in his heart, since he should do this, after a while he brought up the matter of that person, Zhou Quan would not blame the White Horse Temple too much. He led Zhou Quan around the White Horse Temple, although Zhou Quan is not a believer, but he is not rude, but also makes the abbot happy: it is said that this Royal Highness is close to Taoism, and now it seems that he is also polite to the Shi family!

He didn't know that Zhou Quan was going around here, but he had an idea in his heart.

Central Asia was originally the birthplace of Buddhism, when Master Sanzang entered Tianzhu, along the way, all of them believed in Buddhism, but now many have become the territory of the Great Food Sect. Although Zhou Quan does not believe in Buddhism, compared to the Great Food Sect, the Buddhism that has been reformed by Huaxia is much more civilized after all. Since the generation of people in Central Asia and West Asia could not live without gods, they had to believe in God, why not support Buddhism and compete with it, so that the local people could not believe in one heart and one mind?

With this idea, Zhou Quan smiled and said to the abbot: "Master, when the Sanzang Master of the Tang Dynasty traveled westward, there was a record of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, I wonder if there were any high-ranking monks who traveled west to seek the Dharma in modern times?" ”

The abbot didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "The poor monk has never heard of it." ”

"I heard that the original countries of the Western Regions were all Buddha countries, but now they are occupied by foreign Taoists, I intend to support the great virtues of famous monks, go to revive Buddhism, the master can send a letter to the monks for me, and those who are interested can come to see me."

When the abbot heard this, his heart moved: "Your Highness wants to use the Huaxia Army to propagate the Dharma?" ”

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Exactly! ”

The abbot is not stupid, he knows that Zhou Quan is using it, but it is better to be used than to have no use value. Therefore, he saluted Zhou Quanheshi and praised: "Your Highness's move, you will be favored by future generations!" ”

The White Horse Temple turned around, and there was nothing to see, at this time, people were also found by Wan Baoyu, Zhou Quan comforted them one by one, and then called the abbot, ready to give a few more words and left, but at this time, the abbot kept crooking his mouth to Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan knew that he had something to say, so he smiled and said: "Could it be that the master is practicing closed-mouth meditation, what is there that he doesn't say directly, but he is there to squeeze his eyebrows?" ”

The abbot smiled bitterly and said, "The poor monk is guilty, and I want to ask His Highness for forgiveness." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Quan's smile was slightly full.

"The poor monk has sheltered a wandering monk here, and when he heard that His Highness had come down, he had to shout to see His Highness, but the poor monk did not lose his face, so he said more...... This person said that his common surname was Chen, and his name was old. ”

Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be this guy!

He knew very well that this guy was also involved in the cases of Zhao Huan, Zhao Gou, Wen Weishen, etc., and he was also the mastermind of Wen Weishen and others, and after Yang Shi entered Beijing, he ran under Yang Shi's door, although he was not the mastermind who calculated him, but he was definitely one of the accomplices.

It's just that when the capital was searched, he escaped, and the officials in his hometown said that they didn't see him return to his hometown, because he was not an important person, so Zhou Quan didn't dig deeper, but he didn't expect this guy to become a monk and hide in Luoyang, where the wind was loudest.

When this guy saw him, not only did he not hide, but he also changed his way to see him?

"But the old man, let him come to me." Zhou Quan said.

After a while, Chen Chaolao came to him, at this time, Chen Chaolao was no longer high-spirited as a student of Beijing Middle School, describing himself as withered and haggard, but he was arrogant when he saw Zhou Quan.

"Duke Zhou, although my heart is towards the Song family, I have never harmed you, do you believe it or not?" He raised his voice to Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan nodded: "If you Chen Tingchen say it, Zhou will naturally believe it." ”

Hearing this, Chen Chaolao's eyes turned red, and his voice was a little choked: "Zhou Gong is really the master, but I have already submitted to the Song family, not two masters, not the minister of Zhou Gong, please forgive Zhou Gong!" ”

Zhou Quan smiled, although the old generation of Chen Chao is impassioned and dares to fight for the world, but Zhou Quan has no shortage of such people in his hands, what he needs more is to solve practical talents, so there is no regret.

"Although we can't be the ministers of the Duke of Zhou, but the Confucian scholars and sages in the world, the disciples of the sages, and the people who are willing to serve the Duke of Zhou don't know how many, why should the Duke of Zhou cut them off?" Chen Chaolao said earnestly: "I risked my death to see me today, not for personal wealth, nor for me to get rid of my crimes, but to seek a way out for the world's scholars!" ”

Zhou Quan didn't expect Chen Chaolao to appear in front of him, for such a thing!

He still underestimated the scholars at this time, like Chen Chaolao, Chen Dong, etc., who boasted of their integrity, and dared to say anything if they really lost their lives for this, they were willing to do it.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Quan said slowly: "Why didn't I leave a way out for the world's scholars?" As long as they switch to practical study, and with their foundation, they will soon be able to grasp the contents, participate in the selection and selection, work in the position of officials for a few years, and gain practical experience in handling affairs, and then they will be able to transfer to official posts -- isn't this road more spacious than hundreds of thousands of people competing for two or three hundred jinshi places? ”

Chen Chaolao's expression was solemn: "Scholars learn the words of the sages, and the practical learning of the Duke of Zhou can be practiced by the officials, but the official positions inside and outside the center are better to use the articles of the sages and morals!" ”

Zhou Quan smiled.

These scholars regard being an official as a welfare that they naturally deserve, but they are unwilling to sink down to do specific practice, which is really a bit of a master.

He waved his hand: "Brother Chen, I already understand what you mean, but the moral man of the article did not cure the Great Song Dynasty, but practical learning made me prosperous in China, how to choose, there is no need to say more." ”

Chen Chao was in a hurry, and he shouted: "Zhou Gong is like this, he is pushing millions of scholars in the world to the enemy, and this is not taken by the wise!" Zhou Gong's practical learning, although it is supplemented for a while, is not the foundation of eternity after all, only the sage's writings ......"

Zhou Quan was impatient, he waved his hand again and said, "Needless to say, since Brother Chen is a monk, why bother with worldly things?" ”

Chen Chaolao was interrupted by him and took a deep breath: "Zhou Gong, isn't there any such grace?" ”

"If I don't have this kind of elegance, how can Brother Chen appear in front of me?" Zhou Quan asked rhetorically.

Chen Chaolao nodded, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "That being the case, please Zhou Gongya be more magnanimous, gather people with outstanding morals in the world, and allow them to speak and debate." My Chen Dynasty is an old man who is shallow in his studies, and he can't convince Zhou Gong, they always have a way to move Zhou Gong, just ask Zhou Gong to give them a chance! ”

Zhou Quan didn't speak, and on the other side, Zong Ze, who had been listening silently, moved two steps at this time, came to him, and took a deep look: "What Chen Chaolao said is true, I remember that Zhou Gong once said that the more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes, please ask Zhou Gong to allow him to do this, so that everyone in the world knows that Zhou Gong is a good measure!" ”

Zong Ze is also a reader after all, and at this time, he can't help but speak for readers!

Zhou Quan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he began to weigh the benefits and disadvantages.
