Chapter 70: Propagating the Dharma
The autumn rain has been continuous for three days, but it has not stopped, and the entire Jiangzhou city has been drenched in mud, and people walking on the street are easily contaminated with half of the mud.
But it was in such bad weather that a group of monks drove into Jiangzhou City in the rain, all of them were ordered to come to Jiangzhou to preside over the Dharma propagation conference, and escorted them with a hundred black-shirted guards.
The black-shirted guards, that is the elite team commanded by Emperor Zhili, have the power to kill and kill, and everyone is murderous, and even children dare not cry wherever they go.
On that day, Chen Jianchen deliberately stood on the side of the street to watch, and saw the black-shirted guard in poor armor riding a snow-riding horse with dark clouds, and entered the city gate from the east side proudly.
They all had a rugged face, and in addition to their signature outfits, the flat-headed ghost slashing knife without a sheath at their waists flashed with dazzling light, shaking people's hearts in a panic.
This flat-headed ghost knife, three feet long and four fingers wide, is made of the best cracked steel, and the iron is like clay, cutting thousands of heads without rolling the blade, and the end is a first-class good knife.
And the ghost slashing knife on the waist of every blackshirt guard doesn't know how many people's blood has been drunk.
-- The Tiantong Dynasty ruled the world, and the word "Tianxia" is actually worth considering, and it has a self-proclaimed meaning of "self-respect."
As far as Chen Jianchen knows, there are other countries around the Tiantong Dynasty, such as the nomadic Mengyuan Kingdom in the north and the Duyin Kingdom in the west, which are said to be large countries with vast territories and very strong national strength.
In addition, in the southern part of the Heavenly Dynasty, there is an island country called Rakshasa that is just a small island, and it is extremely arrogant to call itself the "Great Rakshasa Country".
Their customs and habits are also very strange, they regard ugliness as beauty, and they all look strange. The criteria for selecting officials in China is not article knowledge, but based on appearance. The uglier the appearance, the higher the official position, a typical "judging people by their appearance" system.
A merchant went there to do business, and once saw the prime minister of the Rakshasa country, saying that he had two ears on his back, three nostrils, eyelashes like a curtain, and his facial features were like a mess, as if he had been cast in the wrong place, and he was more ugly than a ghost. However, in the Rakshasa Kingdom, such a appearance is a pleasing flower beauty, and when the people of the Celestial Dynasty went over there, they saw it, but they were frightened and fled as if they had seen a monster.
Therefore, when the people in the Tiantong Dynasty used to trade and do business there, they had to paint their faces black with black charcoal, wear their hair and make up like Zhang Fei, so that they could do business with them smoothly.
It is normal for there to be countries abroad, and there are often wars on the frontiers, but for many years, they have been small-scale wars, mainly training, and the impact on them has little impact.
For the people of the Central Plains, who have lived and worked in peace and contentment for a long time, in their eyes, there is only the Tiantong Dynasty. First, very few people have the opportunity to go abroad, and second, foreign countries are too far away and there is hardly any conflict of interest, so it makes no sense to exist or not.
However, since Chen Jianchen crossed over, he has been paying attention to the background structure of this world, and only then did he inquire about many situations. He also heard that the monks who celebrated the birthday of the Empress Dowager this time were all high-ranking monks invited from the Duyin Kingdom, and there was a large team of 500 people, all of whom were profound in Buddhism and very powerful.
And the origin of the Shi family of the Tiantong Dynasty can be traced back to the origin, which was originally introduced from the Duyin Kingdom. However, the dynasty respected Confucianism, and the emperors of the past dynasties worked hard to govern the country, and never welcomed the Shi family, often holding a rejection attitude, which went through many large-scale purges, so the power of the Shi family gradually declined, and almost even the roots were uprooted.
Things changed but after Emperor Zhengming ascended the throne, the young new emperor seemed to have a different mind, changed his father's opinion, and took the opportunity to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday, and took the initiative to send envoys to the country of Duyin, asking the monks to ask for Buddhist scriptures, and also to hold Dharma propagation conferences in various states across the country, and the momentum was immediately beaten.
The direction of the wind seems to have changed. Just as spring turns to autumn, the east wind becomes the west wind. And Qingyun and Guanghan, as well as Yan Chixia, all rushed to the capital one after another, just to watch the changes in the direction of the wind, and at the same time there was the idea of competing and comparing.
The black-shirted guards escorted the monks into Jiangzhou, of course, the settlement point was not an inn, and the county government was not up to standard, and they were finally arranged in the Wu family's mansion.
This is a very rare honor, even if Wu Wencai was born into a powerful person, he felt very honored, and he was busy ordering his servants to sprinkle water and sweep the dust, clean up the wings, and put them in order, and welcome the Dharma propagation team to come.
The arrival of the imperial court's Dharma propagation team broke the peace of Jiangzhou City and caused heated discussions, and the arrival of the other party also disrupted Chen Jianchen's plan and lost the possibility of implementation.
Life is always full of accidents......
Chen Jianchen couldn't help but show a wry smile as he watched the honor guard march into the Wu family's compound. He found that since he entered Jiangzhou to study, he had encountered more troubles all of a sudden, just like a rope on his body, and he could no longer be as chic and uninhibited as he used to be in Jingyang Village.
Or, after all, they still lack a lot of experience, after all, the world is different, and they still need to adapt further.
......
The Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion is located in the center of the city, which is very prominent. But here and now, compared with the glorious mansion building, Nie Zhiyuan's mood is gloomy.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Nie Xiaoqian was wearing a well-fitting Luo skirt, pretty, and had a dignified appearance.
Nie Zhiyuan looked back at his beloved daughter, and suddenly said, "Qian'er, we're leaving." ”
Nie Xiaoqian's body trembled: "Where are you going?"
Nie Zhiyuan raised his eyes to look into the distance, and said leisurely: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor, finally did not accept my advice, the monks of the Dharma propagation came, and at the same time, the Zhou commander of the black-shirted guard also brought a secret decree, and from now on, he was dismissed from the post of Jiangzhou governor of Jiangzhou, who was his father, and transferred to Zhezhou, and served as the commander of Jinhua County. ”
Nie Xiaoqian bit her lip with her silver teeth, almost biting blood: her father was demoted from Zhizhou to the county order, and it can be said that he was kicked off the stage and turned over a big heel fight.
This fall, and may not even be able to get up again.
She looked at her father, and suddenly noticed that his father's sideburns and hair were dyed and white, and even his back, which had always been straight, was now slightly bent.
Nie Xiaoqian knows better than anyone else that although her family and the Wu family have been friends in the world, with the new throne, the relationship between the two families has long been slowly estranged due to different political views. This is also the reason why Nie Zhiyuan has never made up his mind to marry himself to Wu Wencai, he has always been a very principled courtier, during his tenure as the governor of Jiangzhou, he was conscientious, honest and loving the people, and his sleeves were clean. At the same time, Nie Zhiyuan also strongly opposed the Shi family's westward arrival.
However, in the current situation, there is no doubt that his ideas are unsociable, do not go downstream, disobey the will of the king, and it is a natural thing to be demoted -- the battles between temples and temples are often only a snap of a finger. It is sinister and far beyond imagination.
"Dad, when are we leaving?"
Nie Zhiyuan showed a loving smile: "Tomorrow, so, if you want to find someone to say goodbye, there is still time!"
