Chapter 43: Trinity!
"Your Excellency?"
Although the person in front of him said this, Xu Tian still did not relax his vigilance, and the matter related to his life should not be ignored.
Because he didn't know this man at all.
"My lord, I'm here to repay the favor."
Seeing that Xu Tian was still not at ease, the black-robed man couldn't help but smile dumbly, and immediately solemnly said his intention and identity, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of introducing myself, I am the ninth deacon of the Trinity Society, codenamed 'Prison Heaven'." ”
"Trinity? Are you a member of the Trinity Society? Xu Tianyi raised his eyebrows.
This is no small surprise.
Trinity, that is one of the four most well-known sects under the largest religion in the country, "Yajiao".
Yajiao is the religion of Yazu, which is equivalent to Buddhism on earth.
In the Dalan Dynasty, more than half of the people were followers of Yazu. The influence of Yajiao is very far-reaching, and the power is also extremely huge, and there are many groups and organizations that worship Yazu, among which the most powerful and most famous are the four major sects.
Misha, Trinity, Huizong, Reformed!
These four major sects, which are also the four orthodox branches of Yajiao recognized by the state, have unimaginable financial resources and power, and even have independent military power.
In the Dalan Dynasty, although it was said that there was no pathological social phenomenon of the pope dominating on the earth, theocracy and imperial power were basically equal, and the theocracy here referred to the power shared by the heads of these four major sects, that is, the heads of the sects.
The crown prince and the crown prince inherit the throne must be completed under the joint witness of the four sect masters.
The meaning of the four sect masters represents the holy will of the heavenly Yazu, if one of the sect masters does not recognize the crown prince or the emperor, then even the emperor must not disobey it, and a new person needs to be elected.
If not, once Yazu is offended, I am afraid that the national fortune will not be guaranteed.
However, the four major sects do not interfere in politics, and the imperial power does not interfere with the river water, so it can be said that the imperial power and politics are to reconcile and maintain the material life of the people, while the existence of religion is to enrich the spirit of the people, and the two can be said to be responsible for different fields.
But there is no doubt that the influence of these four major sects is no less than that of the royal family.
It can even be said that as long as the four major sects are interested, it is okay to support a new royal family.
Religion influences the hearts of the people, as long as Yazu speaks, the people will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire, and the spiritual control of religion has this kind of magic, which is not an exaggeration.
Otherwise, why would the Western countries of the Middle Ages be shrouded in the shadow of the theocracy of the Catholic Emperor?
The status of the deacons of the Trinity Church in the Trinity Church is also quite high and important.
"There are a total of eight deacons in the Trinity Society, when will there be one more?"
Xu Tian recalled that there were only eight deacons in the Trinity Society.
"I am the new ninth deacon, and I have not yet been officially anointed, and when my anointing ceremony is over, the adults will know."
The imprisoned deacon shook his head and said.
"Since Your Excellency is a deacon of the Trinity Order, why did you come to me to repay your kindness?"
Xu Tian carefully searched the memories of the body, and he didn't remember that he had eaten for such a martial arts master.
"Adults are kind to the world, and there are more than tens of thousands of people who have received the grace of adults to save their lives?"
The imprisoned deacon said, "Naturally, adults will not remember that you once healed a dying old woman in Bali Pavilion, and that old woman is my mother!" ”
Xu Tian was stunned.
It turns out that he inadvertently saved such a promising old woman?
There is a son who is a deacon of the Trinity Church?
Yes!
Sure enough, people still have to do more good deeds.
But Xu Tian was more suspicious, and still asked more: "Your Excellency is a deacon of the Trinity Society, why would you let your mother wait to die in such a slum?" ”
Yes, it's very strange, the son is in a high position and is definitely not short of money, how could he throw his wife into such a personal purgatory waiting for death.
"My lord, to tell you the truth, before the outbreak of the epidemic, I had already accepted the test of being promoted to deacon, and entered the field of divine choice for the final experience and selection. He also knows nothing about what is happening in the country. ”
The deacon of the prison sky was full of guilt, "It is indeed unfilial, and my seventy-year-old mother almost died of illness in the township." However, thanks to the return of the Holy Hand of the Lord, I was able to see my old mother again, otherwise, if I could not see my old mother for the last time, how could I be worthy of the word filial piety? I will regret it for life. ”
Xu Tian nodded.
"Without further ado, my lord, please accept this."
As he spoke, the imprisoned deacon turned over his hand and took out a bronze flame-like token, and wrote one word: Ya!
"This is the supreme order of the Trinity Society, as long as the Lord holds this token, the Trinity Congregation will obey the orders of the Lord. The bento is my gratitude to you for saving my mother's life! ”
Xu Tian didn't stretch out his hand to take the token, but asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will take it and do evil?" ”
The imprisoned deacon said with confidence: "If I don't even know what a good official who is willing to make a military order with the emperor for the sake of the common people in the world, and who refuses to accept even the slightest gift from the people afterwards, then I am not in vain?" ”
Xu Tian was noncommittal.
Also.
Look, if you don't say that a good name is better than a big fortune, and your good reputation is outside, won't the benefits come up on your own.
People, really want to be a good person.
In the end, after some symbolic refusal, Xu Tian accepted this piece of Trinity Supreme Order half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.
After watching the tall figure of the imprisoned deacon disappear into the night.
Xu Xiangxiang and Lu Su, who were holding long swords, slowly walked out of the shadows.
"It scared the hell out of me."
Xu Xiangxiang said.
Lu Suyeyu caressed his full chest with his hand, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, people are here to thank you, if there is the slightest evil intention, I am afraid that we are not his opponents combined." ”
"What are you afraid of?"
Xu Tian spread his hands, shook the token in his hand, and thought, it is impossible for the emperor to slander himself for corruption and bribery after accepting this thing.
The next step is to think about how to use this token to rebel...... No, it's for the benefit of the people.
……
Early in the morning of the next day, the mist in the south of the Yangtze River shrouded the four fields, and the music of Lin Miyue Fuqin playing "Water Tune Song Head" sounded again in Shangshufu.
But when Xu Tian passed by Lin Miyue's Garden, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a conversation between Lin Miyue and another mature female voice.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, why have you been hiding in this Shangshu Mansion and not coming to look for me?"
Listening to this voice, is it Lin Miyue's master from the Gongsun family?
Finally found the door?
Xu Tian then hid outside the courtyard gate and eavesdropped.
"Master, apprentice...... I don't have the shame to see you! ”
Lin Miyue's voice was filled with crying.
"What the hell is going on?"
Master's voice was quite stern, "Why did you assassinate the Empress Gongsun?" What is the reason for this? ”
