Chapter 305: Chen Qian's Worries
After finally understanding why Chen Ji was unhappy with himself, Wang Ze also admired the power of this Futu sect more and more, especially in brainwashing, which was incomparable, especially in terms of opening his eyes and telling nonsense.
Probably many people are deceived by the phrase 'monks don't lie', and always think that the teachings of the Futu sect are very good, but they don't know that the more people shout such words, the more they will deceive people in a dignified manner.
There is no doubt that this Chen Ji Chen Tai Brother was fooled by the Futu Sect, this did not become the first batch of main forces for the sect to launch a counterattack against Chen Qian, no matter what, with such a powerful helper as Chen Ji, the Futu Sect will not be severely suppressed as in the past few years.
In the past, when Wang Ze came to Nanchen, he also heard that Chen Ji believed in the Futu Sect, but Chen Ji was a hostage in Chang'an at that time, so he didn't care.
When Chen Chang was drowned in the Yangtze River by Hou Andu on the way back, but Chen Ji returned to Jiankang City safely, the first thing he did was to persuade his brother Chen Qian to restore the monastery that was ordered to be closed by Chen Baxian during the Jiankang Incident.
Although Chen Qian did not completely listen to Chen Ji's opinion at that time and did not agree to return those monasteries to the Futu sect, he finally relaxed the oppression of the Futu sect in the Southern Dynasty, and with the strong support of many scholars close to the sect, the Futu sect in the Southern Dynasty showed signs of recovery.
At this time, Wang Ze didn't know that this Chen Ji was far more obsessed with believing in the Futu Sect than he imagined, and was even called the first layman of the Futu Sect by the Futu Sect in later generations, which shows Chen Ji's true attitude towards the Futu Sect and what his contributions were.
However, although I don't know how much Chen Ji supports the Futu Sect, because of Wang Ze's dislike for the Futu Sect, he still reminded Chen Qian: "Big brother, although I don't know why Brother Chen is so obsessed with the Futu Sect, you should still know the truth of believing in Buddhism and destroying the family, worshiping Buddha and destroying the country!" Emperor Wu of Liang has learned from the past! ”
Wang Ze took out the experience of Emperor Wu of Liang to worship Buddha and destroy the country, Chen Qian immediately woke up, yes, a living example is in front of him, although he does not have the courage to dare to order the destruction of Buddha and the destruction of Buddha four times, but it is still possible to prevent the Futu Sect from eroding Nan Chen's national strength.
"It's still a reminder from the virtuous brother!" Chen Qian sighed, "The Futu Sect doesn't produce, it likes to work hard, not only does it occupy a lot of land, but it doesn't even have to pay taxes, if I accidentally agree to Ah Xuan, I'm afraid it will be Xiao Liang's fate in a few decades!" ”
During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the power of the Futu Sect can be said to be amazing, these sects are in solidarity with each other, and can greatly manipulate the government, and they often occupy one-third or even nearly half of the labor force of a country, which greatly damages the development of these countries.
Because of the collusion between these Futu sects and the officials of the DPRK and China, a large amount of taxes were passed on to the ordinary Qi people, resulting in a large number of civilians either joining the Futu sect and accepting the exploitation of the Futu sect, or they could only flee to the mountains and forests one after another and become bandits and thieves.
Therefore, Wang Ze can be said to be extremely disgusted with the Futu Sect, and such a religion cannot be viewed from the perspective of future generations, compared to the Futu Sect that has been castrated and put in a cage in later generations, the Futu Sect is still a rapidly growing beast.
He not only devoured the flesh and blood of ordinary people, but also devoured the luck of the Central Plains Dynasty, and later Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen Yong summoned up the courage to order the destruction of Buddha is also derived from this, although Yuwen Yong was finally killed by the Futu sect and other courtiers, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty finally increased its national strength and eliminated the Northern Qi who worshiped Buddha.
Wang Ze thought about these questions, and suddenly looked up and felt that Chen Qian was very strange today, and just as he was about to open his mouth to ask questions, he listened to Chen Qian and said, "Da Lang! What do you think is the relationship between my brother and you? Do you treat each other with sincerity like ordinary people's brothers? ”
Although I don't know why Chen Qian suddenly asked like this, but this is indeed a fact, since they met over the years, although the two have not met much, they have helped each other, even if Wang Ze has his own layout for Nan Chen, but it will be a matter of the next few decades.
Therefore, Wang Ze nodded and said: "Although I don't know why my brother said this, but the brotherly relationship between you and me is like a brother, this cannot be denied!" ”
As soon as Wang Ze's words fell, Chen Qian sighed and said: "The age difference between you and me is almost thirty years old, and we don't see each other much, so we are already like brothers, but some people don't necessarily treat each other as honestly as you and me even if they are brothers!" ”
Wang Ze was a little confused by Chen Qian's inexplicable words, and felt that he seemed to be reflecting Chen Qian's own brother Chen Ji, but since ancient times, Wang Ze is not good at evaluating these, and what if he thinks wrong?
Thinking of this, Wang Ze simply stopped talking, these things are Chen Qian's family affairs, and they themselves say that these things are okay, but if outsiders follow their words and say how bad their relatives are, then these people will definitely be angry.
Chen Qian probably also thought of this, so she didn't say anything more, but sat up and said to Wang Ze with a straight face: "Da Lang, I have felt a little lacking in energy since last year, I'm afraid the deadline can be expected, I don't know if you can see you next time!" "Reed bamboo forest
"The eldest brother laughed, now that the eldest brother has just arrived, he is not confused, it is the time of blood and gas square steel, how can he say such a thing!" After listening to Chen Qian's words, Wang Ze objected repeatedly, Chen Qian is only forty years old this year, how could she die like this.
At this time, Han Zigao, who was busy cooking food next to him, heard Chen Qian's words, and hurriedly knelt in front of Chen Qian, and said with a sad face: "I hope Your Majesty takes care of your body, if there is an accident, the barbarian is willing to die together!" Although the words are soft and clear, they reveal a strong conviction.
Chen Qian patted Han Zigao's back, stroked it gently, and whispered a few words to him, which made Han Zigao touch a handful of tears, and then went to clean up the food, but his hand speed was much slower than before, and he seemed to be preoccupied.
Chen Qian sat up straight, looked at Wang Ze Zhengse with both eyes and said: "Don't think I'm joking, in the Hou Jing Rebellion, I was first captured by Hou Jing's generals and imprisoned for several years, which was quite tribulous, and then followed my uncle to go around to fight against Wang Sheng's defense, and I don't know how many illnesses fell after the horses!" ”
With Chen Qian's narration, Wang Ze's face became more and more serious, it is said that Chen Qian is only forty years old, which is when he is in good health, and he can generally live for at least another twenty years, so that Nan Chen's power can be smoothly handed over.
But now even Chen Qian feels that her health is not good, and there is a faint meaning of trusting the orphan, if this is the case, Nan Chen's situation will be a little bad, although the situation of Nan Chen was created when Chen Baxian was born, but in the two years after Chen Qian took the throne, he also did a lot of things.
Not to mention the destruction of the Western Liang and the defeat of the Northern Zhou Southern Invasion Army, he also launched a large-scale counterattack on the Northern Zhou Dynasty until the city of Xiangyang, although it failed to capture the city of Xiangyang, but it still greatly inspired the scholars and people of Southern Chen, so Chen Qian's prestige was also very high.
Even Hou Andu, who had made great contributions to supporting Chen Qian's accession to the throne, was cautious when facing Chen Qian, and did not dare to be too presumptuous.
But if Chen Qian is not there at the critical moment, then I am afraid that Nan Chen's affairs will be a little complicated, after all, even Chen Qian's eldest son Chen Bozong is only ten years old this year.
Wang Ze couldn't help but ask: "Then eldest brother, what are you telling me all this for?" ”
Chen Qian glanced at Wang Ze, sighed again, and said: "Da Lang, you also know that now my eldest son Bozong is ten years old this year, even if I can live another five or six years, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can such a child have the ability to control the power of a country!" ”
"In this way, what I'm most worried about is Ah Xuan," Chen Qian said with a low face, "Ah Xuan's ability is also undoubted, not inferior to me, but his concept of governing the country is different from mine, and he especially believes in the Futu Sect!" ”
Speaking of this, Chen Qian also smiled self-deprecatingly, at the beginning, she also believed in the Futu Sect for a long time, and later after seeing the harm of the Futu Sect to the country, she repented and no longer believed in Buddhism, but her younger brother Chen Ji was still addicted to it.
Seeing Wang Ze's gloomy face, Chen Qian continued: "Although my uncle and I have tried our best to suppress the Futu Sect in the past two years, but at the beginning, Emperor Wu of Liang worshiped Buddha in a big way, and the power of the Futu Sect in the Southern Dynasty was too great after all, even if Ah Xuan was unwilling, he would be pushed up!" When the time comes, it's fratricidal again! ”
"In that case, why don't you strike first?" Wang Ze finally couldn't help but speak this time, since this Chen Ji is like this, it is better to kill it first.
But Chen Qian shook her head and said, "But Ah Qian is my own brother after all, how can I bear to do it?" In addition, to be honest, if Ah Xuan is my successor, it will be far stronger than Bozong's accession to the throne, so I am conflicted! ”
Hearing this, Wang Ze was really speechless, and he was reluctant to let his son be persecuted, and he couldn't bear to persecute his younger brother by himself, and then he lamented vigorously, Brother Chen, what are you going to make trouble about?
Perhaps Chen Baxian vigorously cultivated Chen Qian's ability to handle political affairs on the one hand, but on the other hand, he delayed the establishment of a prince, also because of such ambivalence!
In the end, Wang Ze still asked helplessly: "So, eldest brother, what do you want me to do when you tell me this?" Although we are not brothers, we are better than brothers, as long as I can help, I will do my best to do a good job. ”
Seeing Wang Ze's sincere expression, Chen Qian smiled lightly, and he said seriously: "Da Lang, brother asks you for something, please be sure to agree!" ”
Wang Ze's scalp suddenly went numb, and it seemed that something bad was going to come to the door, but he still stubbornly agreed: "Big brother, it's okay to say!" ”
