Chapter 438: I'm here to give Dudu credit~
Since the fifth year of Yuan You, the happy events of the Jia family have been one after another.
With the revival of the family, the atmosphere of the festival has become more and more sufficient. The younger generations of the clansmen in West Street have been sending their own rice dumplings and other food since early in the morning, and the old lady also instructed the maid to give the fruits prepared in the house.
When Jia Cong vividly learned the dragon tattoo of his juniors and recited the mighty dragon, Ni Er came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
"Master Dog, there's news from Jia Hua......
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the second dog, and he sneered: "This white-eyed wolf has finally revealed its fox tail." Let's go, follow me to see the third master. β
The two walked quickly to the gate of the inner courtyard, and the maid guarding the door quickly spread the news to Rongxi Hall.
After Jia Cong heard this, he didn't disturb the interest of a large family for the festival, but just talked to Master Yu and Jia Lian, and then broke the story that Fahai had to tell with the white snake and the green snake, and hurriedly came to the Dongyue study.
After pushing open the door, he sat down in the main seat and asked, "What did you find?" β
Ni Er has been worshipping himself in the Rongguo Mansion for several years, and has been entrusted with important tasks by Jia Cong, secretly recruiting a large number of rangers on the street, either to inquire about the news, or to do something that is not good on the surface.
Seeing Jia Cong's inquiry, he clenched his fists and replied: "After the news in the palace spread, his subordinates let people keep an eye on the front and back doors of Jia Hua's house. Sure enough, he suddenly went out in the afternoon and went to the direction of Nancheng, and the sons and daughters followed him all the way to the Fazang Temple at the southernmost end of Chongnanfang. β
"Fazang Temple?"
Jia Cong was a little unfamiliar with this temple, and it was Ergouzi, a know-it-all in the capital, who explained the subtleties of this temple to him.
I only heard the second dog say: "Third master, although this Fazang Temple is small, its status in Buddhism is extremely special. The presiding monk Yuanhui of Fazang Temple is from Shaolin and is nicknamed the Jingcheng Branch of Shaolin Temple. β
Jia Cong was a little confused, why did he still have anything to do with Shaolin Temple?
"Who did Jia Hua meet when he went to Fazang Temple?"
Ni Er shook his head: "Fazang Temple can't meet today, and my subordinates have arranged for several waves of people to enter the temple, but they haven't found any exact news." However, one thing is very strange, after entering the temple, he did not go to the guest house to rest, but went to the apse of the temple. In other words, the person he saw was extremely noble, and the presiding officer of the Dharma Tibetan Temple personally entertained him......"
"Or maybe the person he wants to see is a person in the Buddhist sect, such as the host of Fazang Temple, Monk Yuanhui!"
Jia Cong said his guess, which was beyond Ni Er's expectations. He has always set his goal on the noble relatives and princesses, but he has never considered people like Buddhism.
But Jia Cong is different, because he has done a lot of things against religion before, and many of them are directly cutting the flesh of these religions.
It is not surprising that it harms the interests of others and is targeted by others.
Compared with those princes and ministers in the court who are afraid of the prestige of the Jia family, people like Buddhism who are unexpected outsiders are easier to be ignored.
"It seems that Buddhism finally can't help it. I am not at all surprised that I have advised His Majesty to clear the fields and tighten the control of religion. β
The corners of Jia Cong's mouth raised slightly, compared to the Daomen, the land hanging under the name of the Buddha Gate was more than the land occupied by the royal family.
The Shaolin family alone occupied most of the land within a radius of 100 miles at the foot of Song Mountain.
This year, the imperial court agreed to comprehensively promote the Qingzhang Tianmu, and appointed Tanchun's fiancΓ© Lin Bai to go to Henan for Qincha.
Baoyu once reported in the newspaper that Buddhism was hiding in the shadows, and he had already offended Buddhism.
Therefore, it is very likely that the leader of Buddhism will stand up and make a move against Baoyu.
"Continue to stare at Jia Hua, and the prisoner of the Guozi Prison......"
"Tian Feng!"
Ni Er reminded: "The subordinates let people stare at the place where Tian Feng often goes, whether it is his eating, drinking, Lazar, there are people watching it all the time." β
Jia Cong praised: "Good job, but Second Brother Ni still has to think of a way to see if he can find out who Jia Hua met with, what they said and did, the clearer the better." β
This is a bit embarrassing for Ni Er, but he has already worshiped under the Rongguo Gate, so he naturally has to do his best.
When the time comes, as soon as the third master is happy and drinks blood wine with him, then he will become a retainer of the Jia family.
Born by the Jia family, died into the Jia family ancestral hall, and enjoyed the incense of the Jia family......
β¦β¦
It couldn't be simpler to hide a person in the temple, not to mention that the real garden is a monk who is placed in the Fazang Temple.
After Jia Hua told him about the unexpected situation in the palace and the contact with Rongguo Mansion, Fazang Temple did not seem to change on the surface, but Monk Yuanzhen visited various temples in Beijing in the name of discussing Buddhism.
Coincidentally, after Ni Er couldn't find any useful clues in Fazang Temple, he thought about it and thought about whether there were dates or not, and expanded the scope of exploration to the entire capital.
He arranged manpower to various temples in the capital, and this group of rangers who wandered around every day happened to take the opportunity of the Duanyang Festival to worship the Buddha and offer incense.
Ni Er followed Jia Cong's instructions, and he didn't think about saving money at all.
The rangers he recruited were all knights with a good reputation among the people, and they were generous, and the monks in the temple naturally thought that Buddhism attracted the rangers, and they didn't think about avoiding them at all.
Soon, Jia Cong received the news.
There is a monk from Shaolin in Songshan Temple, who is visiting various temples everywhere.
"Huh...... Exploring the Dharma~"
In the past two days, there has been a lot of commotion in the puja in Beijing, and many officials who believe in Buddhism in the DPRK and China have been invited to go.
Buddhism wants to rely on winning over officials to build momentum for them, and intends to wrestle with the imperial court to avoid this incident of Qingzhang Tianmu, and even more wants to trick these officials who believe in Buddhism to admonish the emperor and let the imperial court lift the restrictions on Buddhism.
After Jia Cong listened to Ni Er's report, he soon appeared at the home of Cao Jiugong, the commander of the Dragon Guard.
Governor Cao has been very irritated recently, and with the full advancement of the New Deal, there have been endless incidents of opposition to the New Deal in various places.
In Nanzhili Province alone, there have been hundreds of conflicts between the local gentry and the government.
As the largest intelligence organization in the country, the Dragon Guards sent thousands of official documents to the capital every day, which was still considered the most important after being screened by thousands of local households.
He worked overtime on holidays, and finally stayed up late to deal with the piled up of official documents, and just lay down and wanted to rest for a while, but he heard Menzi report that Yongfeng Bo Jia Cong was visiting.
"I said, you kid can't let me save for a while......"
When Jia Cong saw Cao Jiugong after entering the door, he was startled by his two dark circles.
"Dudu, how long has it been since you slept?"
Cao Jiugong yawned and stretched out three fingers: "Three days, three whole days, I slept for two hours!" β
"Those who can work hard, Your Majesty is really the most important."
Listening to Jia Cong's embarrassing compliment and comfort, Cao Jiugong just pouted.
He took a sip of strong tea, woke up and said, "Today is the last day of the three-day holiday, why don't you go and play with Princess Wen'an, what are you doing here with me?" β
Jia Cong smiled and replied, "Good thing, big good thing." I'm here this time, but I give Dudu credit to ......"
"Don't~"
Cao Jiugong is about to have a psychological shadow on the word credit, especially when he hears these two words from Jia Cong's mouth.
Jia Cong also said the same thing last time, which made him go to Shanxi in the winter, and went back and forth between Taiyuan and the capital several times in the ice and snow, until he cleared the northland tumor of the eight families of the Jin Shang Dynasty, and then returned to Beijing to enjoy a few days of stable life.
Jia Cong didn't care about these, Ni Er's means were limited, and he couldn't inquire about the specific situation, so he could only come to Lalong to guard the water.
Anyway, Buddhism hides dirt and dirt, which is contrary to the major policies of the country, and the dragon guards will attack them sooner or later.
In this case, it is better to start drying it early, and it will save this tumor from being disgusting there.
Jia Cong told the ins and outs of the whole thing in one fell swoop, and Cao Jiugong went from having a headache at the beginning to becoming vigilant in the end.
In fact, the Dragon Guards have been staring at the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and the Daomen are under the control of the Taoist sects such as Longhu Mountain and Wudang, and they are still standing on the same line as the imperial court.
Moreover, Taoist Zhengzong rarely gets involved in the affairs of the court, and there are few Taoist temples that occupy land and take in scum who violate the laws of the imperial court.
On the contrary, it is the Buddhist sect, which borrows the convenience of foreign sects without paying taxes, and flickers from the people to a large amount of land under their names to avoid the land tax and silver of the imperial court.
It also accepted fugitives, and put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha on the spot, so that many bandits who brutalized the people hid in the temple and got away with it.
Last time, the emperor took advantage of the case of the abduction of the Xing family's mother and daughter to officially attack the Buddhism, and the Dragon Guards had already sent a large number of people to monitor the movements of the Buddhism.
Unexpectedly, before the dragon guards could find any useful clues, Jia Cong sent an excellent excuse.
"Say it earlier, I have a headache and no good reason to make a move on Buddhism!"
Cao Jiugong took Jia Cong to the study and found a letter from Henan from a pile of official documents.
"Henan Mansion sent a letter earlier, which was found by the spies of the Dragon Guards in Dengfeng County, and the Shaolin Temple wanted to transfer the land under its name to the name of King Yu's Mansion, and King Liu Xun agreed."
"Promised? Does King Yu have a ...... in his brain?"
Jia Cong couldn't help but complain, and said in surprise: "It is said that King Yu is also a well-known shrewd person of the imperial family, it is impossible for him to be so stupid, standing on the opposite side of the new deal at the moment when His Majesty is determined to make a new deal!" β
Cao Jiugong nodded: "The problem is here, last year, King Yu also sent the prince to Beijing, and expressed his attitude to His Majesty, willing to cooperate with the imperial court to clear the land...... By the way, King Yu once wrote to His Majesty, saying that he was old, had a son and a grandson under his knees, and did not plan to participate in the division of overseas affairs. β
"It's a bit strange that attitudes have changed so much before and after. Dudu didn't let people check it out? β
Hearing Jia Cong's question, Cao Jiugong shook his head helplessly.
I only heard him say: "How can you not check, but in the end it is the prince's mansion, and King Yu is the same generation as the saint, and the dragon guards can only check it secretly." There is no reason, it is not easy for the dragon guards to enter the palace to investigate. β
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Jia Cong, smiled and continued: "But you came just in time......
Jia Cong immediately blew up, and shook his head again and again: "If you don't go, my second sister is going to get married, don't want me to go to Henan!" β
Cao Jiugong amusedly comforted the fried Jia Cong and laughed.
"You don't have to go to Henan, King Yu will enter Beijing next month, and when the time comes, I will find an excuse to let you get to know King Yu and Sun."
That's okay......
Jia Cong's heart was a little relieved and grinned.
"This can be ...... But I've helped Dudu, and Dudu has helped me. The matter of the monk Yuanzhen, please also take a do. After all, the Dragon Guards are the best at finding out the news. β
Cao Jiugong nodded: "This is natural, if you don't mention it, I have to investigate, dare to make a move against the court officials, or such unseemly selfish means, how can this governor easily let go!" β
β¦β¦
Leaving the Cao family, Jia Cong was much more relaxed.
The Dragon Guards made a move, and the relationship between Yuan Zhen and Jia Hua, as well as Yuan Zhen's every move in the capital, were sent to Jia Cong's hands by the Dragon Guard's spies.
Even Yuan Zhen ate a few bowls of rice every day and went to the toilet a few times, and the spies wrote them down one by one.
Unless he is in a secret room, the content of Yuan Zhen's conversations with others is clearly explored by the dragon guards.
Sure enough, Baoyu's matter was what Yuan Zhen instructed Jia Hua to do.
It's not that Jia has become a lackey of Buddhism, but that the two parties are in cahoots.
Jia Hua, a white-eyed wolf, saw that Liu Ke stayed in Jiangnan and forgot about him, so he thought about taking the door of Jia's house again and wanted to go up.
But the Jia family is very defensive of him now, and they don't give him a chance at all. This made Jia Hua think that Ning Rong's Jia family had turned his back on him, and his character had been completely distorted, so he hit his mind on Jia Zheng, who was the easiest to calculate in Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Zheng's weakness is obvious, he has a son named Jia Baoyu......
And Jia Baoyu's weakness is also extremely obvious, lustful......
Taking advantage of this, Jia Hua originally wanted to borrow Tian Feng's hand to drug Baoyu and let him "fornicate" with Tian Feng's wife.
With this handle, Jia Zheng's father and son are not at his disposal?
can do a lot of calculations, but I didn't expect that since Baoyu woke up, he has been very strict with the rules of the family every day, and rarely spends the night outside unless there are special circumstances.
On that day, Tian Feng took the opportunity to meet Wei Shangle, a member of the Information Department, and invited Wei Shangle and Baoyu to his house for a banquet, so that he could take the opportunity to act.
But he didn't want Wei Shangle to invite Baoyu with the wine given by Tian Feng, and happened to encounter the news that the Xing family's mother and daughter were safe when it came back to the capital, and Baoyu was anxious to bring the good news home......
By mistake, Baoyu did not "fornicate" with the married man, but slept with the attacker.
And what role did Monk Yuanzhen play in this matter?
Tian Feng was able to meet and intersect with Wei Shangle, and it was Yuan Zhen who pulled the strings. Both of them are people who believe in Buddhism, and Yuan Zhen, as a Shaolin monk, has shown profound Buddhism in Buddhist pujas.
Even the special apricot blossom wine in that jar was provided by Yuan Zhen. As for saying that Yuan Zhen is a monk, a bald monk, how can there be such an obscene thing?
On the surface, Amitabha Buddha is not taboo in the back.
Huh, isn't that weird?
Jia Cong saw that the last page of the information said that Yuan Zhen wanted to persuade the temples in the capital to unite against the imperial court's control of religion.
And this person doesn't know if he is dizzy because of the special status of Western religions, and he actually wants to engage in a strange system in Daxia where religion is greater than imperial power.
Not only did he not get any response, but he frightened the presiding officers of many temples so much that he took the initiative to quietly deliver the news to the dragon guards.
Jia Cong couldn't help but sneer and said to himself: "Not everyone will be so greedy that they have no brains, and the Buddha of your family can't control the emperor of the Celestial Empire." I really think that Shaolin Temple is the Holy See of Great Xia~"

After dinner, I received a phone call that a loved one in the family had passed away.
This year has been really unfavorable, and this month alone has experienced two white events.
The next few days will be very busy, and the update may be late or delayed by a day, so I hope you can understand.
I'll go here tonight, good night~
