Chapter 374: Scheming Jin Lan
Shuli looked at Cui Ming, who was talking with Gonggong De Wenjiu in the courtyard, and he seemed to really feel the weight of the scheming of this great pillar of the imperial court until today.
It has been some time since he came to Junzhou City again, although Cui Ming secretly sent someone to supervise him, but with the help of Ah Shui's unique concealment talent, there is always a chance to escape, but he will not really escape for the sake of his promise.
However, he took the opportunity to listen to the news in various places in Junju City, and obtained a lot of rumors and secrets about the DPRK and Junju City.
When he came to Junzhou City for the first time, he couldn't have a clear understanding of the situation inside and outside the imperial court, and Yifeng hid the three strategies of Buddhism and Taoism in his heart to offer advice to Cui Ming.
Now it seems that that scene was just a scene of Cui Ming from beginning to end.
At that time, he knew that Emperor Wu was using the Buddhist array of Beizong Temple to recruit merit for the Queen Mother, and he couldn't directly oppose Buddhism, so he took advantage of the situation and asked Yifeng to accompany him in a play as a supporting role.
At that time, Cui Ming predicted that the shortcomings of Buddhism would soon be revealed, and it was imperative for Emperor Wu to turn against Buddhism, so he deliberately opened the middle door to welcome the monks.
Cui Wangfu opened the middle door, only when Emperor Wu came to the palace, Yifeng was such a stunned young man who didn't know the world, even if he hung the name of the Buddha, why did he compare with the emperor of the three sects of the Great Wu Kingdom?
This matter was widely spread in Junzhou City at that time, and needless to say, this was also Cui Ming's arrangement.
At that time, when the monks of Baoxiang Temple heard this, they were very elated, and they would never have imagined that the tragedy would be staged on them soon.
And those imperial history supervisors and other officials and Qing Tan scholars in the court were grief and indignation, and called many victims to petition outside the palace of Emperor Wu, but they were sent by Emperor Wu and exiled, who instigated this matter?
What is Cui Ming's purpose in doing this?
There is only one explanation, and that is to cook oil over fire.
At that time, Buddhism was already in full swing, and the disasters caused to the people of Dawu were already in front of them, and the water overflowed.
Cui Ming took advantage of Emperor Wu's psychology at that time and asked Yifeng to accompany him to act, so as to strengthen the momentum of Buddhism, and even put Buddhism in a higher position, and then instigated the ministers of the court and China to petition.
Emperor Wu was furious and vented his anger on the courtiers, but he didn't expect that those officials were all nerds who were not afraid of death, and they were distributed in waves and waves.
When Emperor Wu was difficult to ride a tiger, he used this incident to show Cui Ming's support for Buddhism, echoing Emperor Wu from afar, and serving as a ladder to bring Emperor Wu next.
And all this, when Emperor Wu was extremely disappointed in Buddhism, all became a crime.
Before Cui Ming arranged the riots caused by Xiao Ji and others, the deaths of thousands of victims were counted on the head of Yifeng, on the head of Buddhism, plus the peasant uprisings in various states caused by Buddhism, the firewood for baking Buddhism and Taoism in the middle gate, and the remorse of Emperor Wu's anger after distributing the courtiers, Cui Ming once again expounded the "Eight Felonies of Buddhism" in accordance with Emperor Wu's intentions at the Daoist Conference······ This piece of firewood finally made Emperor Wu unable to suppress his anger anymore, and issued a golden dragon order to clean up the Buddhist path.
However, the rebellions set off by Buddhism made Emperor Wu feel that the imperial power was shaken, and he continued to issue golden dragon orders, each more ruthless than the other, and finally irrevocably sent Buddhism into the quagmire of war.
All of this is a wonderful drama that can go down in history, and it can really be described as a step-by-step operation, and the mechanism is exhausted.
If it is not Cui Ming's conspiracy, he is present in everything, and if it is his planning, then his manipulation of the situation is too shocking.
Shuli's eyes looked at Cui Ming again, he finally knew that Cui Ming could sit in this position, he simply applied the set of conspiracy theory on the back of the Confucian classics to the fullest, and no one was invincible.
If Xiao Ji was here, he would definitely appreciate Shuli's judgment, because he had said this to Yu Luo at the beginning, and even Xiao Ji, who had read countless people, couldn't see through Cui Ming, it was too unfathomable.
However, Shuli had an intuition that destroying Buddhism was not his ultimate goal, and the strange aura on Cui Ming's body made him feel that there was a bigger conspiracy behind Cui Ming.
At least, it can be seen from Cui Ming's secret holding of the calligrapher in his hands that he has never sat idly by for Emperor Wu's tricks and coercion.
The Holy Academy is the largest family, and the civil and military scientific expedition will inevitably produce a new imperial power to hedge and balance the power system of the family represented by the Holy Academy.
Now, Cui Ming directly showed a little fox tail, that is, Gonggong De.
Gonggong De was also the companion of Emperor Wei Yu when he was a child, why did he appear in King Cui's mansion at this time?
Why does he have two faces and never show his current side in front of Emperor Wu?
Why did he sneak the Buddha Frost behind Wei Yu's back and give it to Cui Ming?
Father-in-law De's influence is no less than Cui Ming's, why is he willing to risk being suspicious of Wei Yu?
Cui Ming, what other big conspiracy is behind you that is difficult for Emperor Wu to detect?
However, Emperor Wu is not weaker than Cui Ming in terms of conspiracy, what a touching Jinlan friendship!
Shuli thought to himself that he had never even seen face-to-face, and he was toyed with by them, and sooner or later the Dawu Empire would be played by them to cause turmoil in the court, the situation would be turbulent, and the gold and jade would be completely shattered!
Thinking so, he continued to listen to the conversation between Cui Ming and Father-in-law De, and became even more sure of this.
Cui Ming asked Degong fairly: "What news do you have over there?"
Gonggong De put down the wine bowl, frowned and said, "Although he has now arranged our family to be the head of the imperial dining room, some of our apprentices are still loyal." They told our family that Emperor Wu had secretly met with someone. ”
"Who is it?" Cui Ming asked.
"Banno. Father-in-law replied slowly.
Cui Ming pondered for a moment and said, "He still doesn't trust the prince!"
Gonggong De nodded and said, "Ban Nuo has been by Wei Huang's side since he was a child, and now he is his personal guard, but he didn't expect that he has already become the eyes and ears of Emperor Wu. ”
Cui Ming smiled instead, and said: "Lao De, you are wrong, maybe when it was arranged for the prince, he was already a person who had been trained in secret, and a child of a few years old was the most obedient." ”
Father-in-law De's face was resentful, and he said: "Even our family didn't know about this matter at the beginning, and he could calculate anyone, which is too chilling." ”
Cui Ming sneered: "Chilling? The old man's six legions are desperately trying to exterminate Buddhism for him all over the Great Wu Kingdom, and how many legion soldiers have died that the old man has worked so hard to cultivate, and he is actually thinking about calculating the old man's holy academy in Junzhou City, beware of Confucianism and civil and military officials, and even the calligrapher who has just defected to the old man, is there anyone more chilling than the old man?"
Father-in-law De was silent.
Cui Ming sighed and said, "However, I'm also used to it, he was frightened by the decline of the Dragon God's strength and began to panic." In the face of the rebellion of Buddhist monks in various states, although he was stern and arrogant on the surface, he was already uneasy in his heart. ”
Father-in-law De said, "What do you think of the current situation of the Buddhism and Taoism rebellion?"
Cui Ming's tone changed, became very stiff, and said, "Don't worry. The rout of the Yunzhou Army was just an arrogant soldier of Shang Gu, who was caught off guard by a backhand. The fourteen states of the Great Wu Kingdom, and the thirteen states still have an absolute advantage in their forces, although they are dragged down by those evil monks and traitors, they are just surviving. ”
"Moreover, the Buddha Yifeng, who became famous in the Great Wu Kingdom, when he came to my palace before, he looked at the pattern of things really well, and he was also very thoughtful, but that's it. ”
"I have arranged for a 'Martial Spirit Group' composed of top cultivators of the two sects of Confucianism and Taoism, and vowed to kill him. If I can kill the first Buddha, I can kill the second Buddha! He has now become a banner of the Buddha's path, as long as this banner falls, those monks will not fall from the wind?"
Father-in-law De seemed to remember something, and said, "Then, will Lord Solomon interfere with it?"
Cui Ming sneered: "Let him toss, anyway, he can't make any waves now." ”
Gonggong De continued to ask: "Old Cui, then, what plan do you have······ ?”
Cui Ming's face changed suddenly, and he immediately stopped him, hurriedly looked around, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he slowly turned around and said, "Old De, don't talk about this tonight······"
When Shuli heard this, he prepared to leave here, and what they said later was just a recollection of something when he was a child.
He moved extremely carefully, cold sweat broke out on his head, he knew that once he was discovered by Cui Ming now, he would definitely die.
It took a lot of effort for him to return to the roof of the courtyard where Cui Ming had placed him.
The courtyard below was already in chaos, and there were ten secret guards who had been watching him in the open and secretly looking for his traces in a panic, Ah Shui looked at the people underground, standing beside him and smiling at him stupidly.
The guards immediately spotted them, but Shuli stood there generously and let a dozen double-jumping guards surround him.
They looked at him with resentful eyes, but their orders were only surveillance, and there were no other orders, so he could not be moved.
Shuli felt funny, stretched his hands, pulled them away, and landed neatly in the courtyard, and walked into the room with Ah Shui.
After closing the door with his backhand, the smile on Shuli's face suddenly disappeared, and he knew that the crisis in Junzhou City had been crushing towards him.
Since Emperor Wu has given an order, whether it is Cui Ming or the scholar, they will try their best to coerce him to participate in the civil and military scientific examination.
But he would never participate, he had to replenish his fourteen sword intent before he was forced to kill them.
Because since he promised that Ichikaze would return to him, he would definitely go.
The importance of commitment in his heart can be seen from the fact that he safely accepted the arrangement of the calligrapher and went deep into the Longtan tiger's den in Junzhou City.
As he said, the Confucian concept of Junzi Yinuo has been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, representing his integrity and dignity, and it is precisely the more difficult the moment, the more precious his integrity and dignity are.
No matter how much hardship there is, he will return to Yifeng's side.
What's more, because he knows very well that he and Yifeng's path are in the same direction, and he will accompany Yifeng to go down, even if the Buddha Dao is wiped out by the Dawu Army in the end, he will not hesitate to do it.
A gentleman promises, kill yourself to become benevolent! Kuang help the world, who else can I be!
