Chapter 353: Tongue Battle Lin Xi

How did Qingzhou become the most friendly and tolerant place for the White Lotus Sect? Because of Doncell.

In the nearly 1,000-year history of the White Lotus Sect, most of the time it has appeared as a villain, but there are also highlight moments. The anti-meta struggle is naturally one of them.

But when it comes to the most charismatic White Lotus Sect figure, it is definitely Tang Sai'er, there is no one. Wang Cong'er, who didn't come out until the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, can be regarded as a rising star, but he is not as famous as Tang Sai'er.

The origin of Tang Sai'er's legend is actually very similar to that of stinky mandarin fish, and it is by no means disrespectful to Tang Sai'er, but a true history.

Like the stinky mandarin fish, Tang Sai'er's rebellion was also caused by the energetic Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, who moved the capital.

Moving the capital is to build a palace and repair the city wall, and the original Yanjing City as the capital of the capital must be almost meaningful, and it needs to be renovated.

So the imperial court conscripted hundreds of thousands of people from Shandong to work, which was called forced labor. Originally, from the perspective of the system, the matter of conscription was not so miserable, it was nothing more than working for the government and getting less paid.

However, as long as there is a lot of conscription in all dynasties, there will inevitably be turmoil and rebellion, and it is estimated that many emperors scratch their heads and can't figure out which link went wrong.

The people work for the landlord and the court, and I don't let them work in vain, and I also give money and grain? Why did they rebel?

The legend of Tang Sayer explains this problem very well: the problem of the conscription system is mainly due to the problem in the payment of remuneration.

Tang Sai'er's husband's name is Lin San, and after the young couple got married, Tang Sai'er's father was conscripted to serve in forced labor. So the young couple went to the government to ask for wages - my father worked for you, and according to the system, there is a food subsidy.

The government answered the questions of the little couple with a stick, and beat Lin San to death with a stick. Tang Sai'er's father saw that he was working hard, but he was relied on by the black-hearted boss for his salary, and he killed his son-in-law by asking for wages, so he died of anger.

Tang Sai'er's mother saw that her son-in-law and husband were dead, and she also died of illness under grief. Tang Sai'er was left alone in this family.

If Tang Sai'er was an ordinary weak woman, then she might have died of grief or illness, but she was not, she had practiced martial arts since she was a child, she was good at kung fu, and she was quite prestigious in the White Lotus Sect.

Tang Sai'er, who claimed to be the mother of the Buddha, rose up in Qingzhou and led thousands of people to start a rebellion, and all parts of Shandong responded one after another. The imperial court immediately sent a large army to suppress it, and the two sides fought twice, Tang Sai'er won both battles, killing two Ming army generals.

Tang Sai'er's story tells people a profound truth - migrant workers' wages cannot be in arrears, let alone violence against wage seekers, otherwise there will be great trouble.

In the end, the court had no choice but to mobilize armies from all walks of life to encircle and suppress Tang Sai'er, and the rebellion was finally extinguished, but Tang Sai'er's legend did not end - she disappeared.

Without seeing anyone alive or dead, Comrade Zhu Di was forced to relive a nightmare brought to him by his nephew.

It is said that in order to find out Tang Sai'er, he killed many officials who were incompetent, and also arrested tens of thousands of Taoist nuns, but unfortunately found nothing.

This incident fully reflects the extent to which Comrade Zhu Di compared Tang Sai'er with his nephew - he suspected that his nephew had become a monk, so he reasonably speculated that Tang Sai'er should have become a nun or Taoist aunt.

I don't know if Zhu Di has obsessive-compulsive disorder, if he is like Xie Er, then the names Zhu Yunwen and Tang Sai'er may be in his mouth before he dies.

Therefore, the name Tang Sai'er, in the hearts of the people of Shandong, has actually surpassed the White Lotus Sect itself and has become a spiritual symbol of the Shandong people who are not afraid of power.

Of course, in line with the principle of loving the house and Wu, it is natural that the people of Qingzhou are more tolerant of the White Lotus Sect than other places.

Xiao Qin had high hopes for Qingzhou, a blessed land, and asked the extremely wise Lin Xi to start from a small master, find suitable puppet officials, bribe the upper echelons with heavy money, and use the protection of the strict party, hoping to create a solid base.

Why doesn't Governor Huang need to be a strict party? This in itself is Xiao Qin's arrangement. If Huang Zhifu joins the Yan Party, although the Yan Party's help is more justified, it will arouse the suspicion of non-Yan Party officials, and some things can be done

I can be held accountable.

Therefore, Huang Zhifu is in the best state, secretly protected by Yan Shifan, but on the surface it has nothing to do with the Yan Party.

Those Qingliu who oppose the Yan Party have always judged their character by looking at the position where they sit on their buttocks, and naturally they will not embarrass Huang Zhifu, and they accept gifts, and sometimes they even help cover up some flaws.

It was under the joint inaction of these two groups of people that Qingzhou gradually became the most rampant area of the White Lotus Sect under the manipulation of Master Lin.

If it weren't for Xiao Feng coming this time, it would be difficult to predict what Qingzhou would become if it continued to develop.

Lin Xi stared at Xiao Feng deadly, his eyes were full of disbelief, he was a smart and conceited person, so when Xiao Qin told him not to act rashly, he felt that the Holy Envoy was too cautious.

Xiao Feng and the princess were trapped in the city by themselves, and the cavalry led by Yu Dayou was left outside the city and attacked in the middle of the night, which was a sure victory.

What's more, in order to ensure safety, he also specially prepared sumptuous wine and food, and gave all the secret poisons of the White Lotus Sect to the cavalry troops.

Do you still need to be suspicious of the food and drinks sent by friendly troops? Even if you are cautious and try it, ordinary silver needles and the like can't try this poison, what reason do those cavalry have not to eat it?

Xiao Feng looked into his eyes and smiled, "I know you have a lot of questions, and I can answer them for you, so that you will die blindly. But before that, should you give an account to the vigilantes?

Their names are not on the booklets, and their families are not well-off, judging by their clothes. Since you didn't rely on promotions to get rich and get rich, then I think you relied on the teachings of the White Lotus Sect.

What do the teachings of the White Lotus Sect say? Is it for you to kill the good and take the risk? Or do you force people who have no choice but to join the church?

Although Tang Sai'er is a rebel of the Ming Dynasty, she is finally a chivalrous woman, will she let you harm the Qingzhou Mansion she is dedicated to protecting?"

Master Lin smiled miserably and looked at the people in the militia group: "Brothers, it's not that I, Lin Xi, is perverse and goes against the will of the Buddha's mother.

Tang Sai'er was such a hero back then, and the Holy Doctrine Army was defeated after only two months of fighting. Now the imperial court is corrupt, far better than it was back then, but the imperial court is still powerful, the holy religion has been suppressed for many years, and talents have withered.

In order to quickly grow the Holy Sect and fight against the corrupt imperial court, I had to use extraordinary means. A thousand sins, the sin is mine alone, in the future the white lotus will bloom, the world will be peaceful, I will go to hell, never be reborn."

Everyone in the militia looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what was right and what was wrong. Xiao Feng secretly praised, there are indeed talents in the White Lotus Sect, and there is indeed a reason for it.

"Master Lin, since the White Lotus Sect thinks that the imperial court is corrupt, how will the White Lotus Sect govern the world if it succeeds in its rebellion?"

Well? Governor Huang's eyes widened, this, how could the Governor still discuss the success of the rebellion with the White Lotus Sect's rebels, this topic itself is a bit rebellious.

Master Lin was also surprised, but such propaganda slogans are usually familiar with them, and he will definitely not be stumped by such a question.

"Of course, the world is the same, the light of the Buddha shines, and all beings are equal!"

"Then why did the White Lotus Sect keep rebelling from the Tang to the Song, from the Song to the Yuan, and from the Yuan to the Ming, but it has never succeeded?"

Master Lin sneered, "People say that Xiao Feng is a great master, with profound Taoism and pedantic, but he can't imagine that he is vain and exaggerated.

Who says that my rebellion against the Holy Religion has not succeeded? How did this Ming Dynasty come about? The Ming Dynasty is the credit of my Holy Sect, and of course we have succeeded!"

Everyone in the militia had forgotten their situation at this time, and listened blankly to the confrontation between Xiao Feng and Master Lin, they were all people who were affected by the White Lotus Sect, especially the head of the group, who regarded Master Lin as a god.

But today, Xiao Feng exposed Master Lin's preaching methods, which greatly impacted the militia that had been kept in the dark, and their mentality was extremely complicated at this time.

I hope that Master Lin will win the debate, so that they will feel better, even if they are also killed as rebels, at least they know that what they are doing is right.

But I also inexplicably hope that Xiao Feng can explain things more clearly, so that they can understand it

The envoys of the White Lotus Sect said that the White Lotus Sect was so good, but it has been suppressed by the imperial court, and even the people outside Qingzhou don't treat it very well?

This kind of ambivalence is prevalent among the less determined White Lotus followers in all dynasties. They are lost, confused, and hesitant.

They are like girls who have slept with scumbags, they have a certain understanding of scumbags, but because they have been asleep, they will keep helping scumbags find reasons in their hearts, convince themselves, and convince their parents that this scumbag may still be a good person.

What's more, this scumbag does occasionally behave very gently, such as the anti-Yuan uprising and Tang Sai'er, which are rare to show the gentle side of the White Lotus Sect, a scumbag through the ages.

Therefore, at this time, Master Lin cited the most bullish evidence that the White Lotus Sect had been talking about in recent years, and everyone in the militia looked at Xiao Feng to see if he admitted it.

Everyone in the government has always been in accordance with the caliber of the imperial court, and will never admit that the establishment of the Ming Dynasty has anything to do with the White Lotus Sect, but Xiao Feng did not categorically deny it.

"If, as you said, it was the White Lotus Sect that rebelled and overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty, then the White Lotus Sect has succeeded in rebellion, why are you still rebelling now?"

Master Lin groaned slightly: "That's Zhu Yuanzhang's treachery and betrayal of the White Lotus Sect! He doesn't admit that he is a member of the White Lotus Sect anymore! In turn, they suppressed the White Lotus Sect!"

Xiao Feng nodded, "Then as you said, if Taizu was originally a member of the White Lotus Sect, why did he refuse to admit that he was a member of the White Lotus Sect later? Why did he suppress the White Lotus Sect in turn?"

Master Lin frowned and looked up at Xiao Feng, what does this kid mean? Isn't this lice on the bald head—obviously?

"He refuses to share the fruits of victory with the White Lotus Sect! I refuse to divide power, but want one person to monopolize the world!"

"Then why does he refuse to divide power and want one person to monopolize the world?"

"You! Does this need to be asked? That's the kind of guy he is! He's just vile by nature!"

"Since you said that he was despicable by nature, then why was he able to be the leader of your White Lotus Sect in the first place? The leaders of your White Lotus Sect are all despicable by nature, how good can the entire White Lotus Sect be?"

"This ...... When did I say that Zhu Yuanzhang was the leader of the White Lotus Sect? He's just a little person who can't be taught by the White Lotus!"

Xiao Feng suddenly realized, "You mean, Taizu is not the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and he is not even a big person, is that true?"

"Of course! At that time, there were many heroes in the White Lotus Sect, how old was he?"

"In that case, Taizu's successful uprising, overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty and establishing the Ming Dynasty, what does it have to do with your White Lotus Sect?"

"This ......"

Master Lin suddenly found that he had fallen into Xiao Feng's trap, and he went around and around, forcibly stripping Zhu Yuanzhang of the success of his rebellion and the White Lotus Sect.

But I admit it, and it's really uncomfortable to argue about it now. But looking at the sad expressions of the militia group, he had to try harder.

"Although he is not a big figure in the White Lotus Sect, he is a member of the White Lotus Sect after all, so he represents the White Lotus Sect, and he should share the fruits of victory with the White Lotus Sect!"

Some of the people in the militia frowned, thinking about the truth in this, while others repeatedly said yes and supported Master Lin.

Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Before Taizu's uprising, he was a monk, you all know about this, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has never shied away from this, the whole world knows about it, and everyone in the militia naturally knows it, and they all nodded, and Master Lin also nodded.

"According to you, although Taizu is not a big man among monks, he was a monk after all, so he represents a monk, and after the victory of the uprising, he should share the fruits of victory with the monks, right?"

"This ......" Master Lin was a little confused, "How can this be compared?"

"Of course, it can't be compared, Taizu was a monk in front, even if he entered the White Lotus Sect as you said, it was a matter later.

Everything must come first and come first, and the rights of the other monks' groups are obviously ahead of you!"

Master Lin was dumbfounded, this logic sounded incredible, but he couldn't think of anything decent

statement to refute the other party.

Because Xiao Feng is completely explaining according to his own logic, even in the case of assuming that he fully admits his statement!

Xiao Feng smiled: "Actually, the monk's grievances are only a little bigger than yours, and the most wronged person should be the beggar."

Taizu was a beggar before the uprising, although he was not a big man in the beggar gang, but he was a beggar after all, so he represented a beggar.

After the victory of the uprising, the rights of the beggars should be greater than those of the monks and the White Lotus Sect, otherwise, according to what you said, Taizu will forget his roots."

Master Lin was finally speechless, his brain was buzzing, and he always felt that Xiao Feng's words were strong words, but they couldn't beat him, and they couldn't win him.

Xiao Feng smiled coldly, slapped the startled wood, and made his legs weak, and Huang Zhifu, who had just gotten up, was so frightened that he fell to the ground again.

"Lin Xi! In order to force the people of Qingzhou to join the White Lotus Sect, you encircled the defenders, bribed and arrested quickly, killed the good and risked the merits, and brutalized the civilians!

No matter how clever your tongue is, you can't escape the heavenly reason, the White Lotus Sect may not always be bad, but the great tomorrow has been decided, you call yourself the people of the world, but in fact, it is for your own selfish interests, so that the people will be in trouble again!

Your holy envoys colluded with the Tatars, colluded with the Japanese invaders, betrayed the Ming soldiers, and killed the Ming people.

Today's White Lotus Sect is like a jackal, and the disaster is worse than that of a wolf! The little face that Tang Sai'er gave you the White Lotus Sect earned in front of the people has made you lose everything!"

Master Lin laughed miserably: "Amazing, really powerful, I can't talk about you." But I'm just a small person in the Holy Sect, and I can't say you, just because you are justified!

You can't control who the people of the world believe! Don't think that there are two official words, two mouths of the government, and the people don't believe any of them! Although the White Lotus Sect has only one mouth, it can speak into the hearts of the people!"

Xiao Feng looked at him with a sneer: "You are wrong, from now on, the people of the world will only believe me, and the White Lotus Sect will never turn over again."

Master Lin didn't know where he got this confidence, and looked at Xiao Feng in surprise, Xiao Feng knew what he was thinking, so he just said lightly.

"Guess what, do the people believe in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

Master Lin looked at Xiao Feng blankly, and suddenly understood what Xiao Feng meant, and his face suddenly turned pale.
