Chapter 50: A Monk
"You are really cowardly, we and other people who study are righteous and evil, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
Liu Yuan was very deep in the city, and took the initiative to lean over by speaking.
Liu Yuan understands very well what kind of people are available and what kind of people are worthy of his investment, like Shen Shi, it is worth investing.
The literati of the Great Song Dynasty were looking down on the martial artists and suppressing them, but this did not mean that they did not use the martial artists.
Di Qing is the best example.
For example, Bao Zheng used the dynasty Ma Han, and later Yang Zhide Cai Jing's subordinates appreciated, which shows that the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty understood the usefulness of martial artists.
They did not suppress for the sake of suppression, their suppression originated from the political correctness of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.
Like Shen Shi, Liu Yuan has been thinking that if he can take him for his own use, then his father is still afraid of officialdom.
Liu Yuanze's father, Liu Lin, did not do a good imperial envoy, resigned and returned to his hometown, outsiders don't know why, but his own family knows - war.
When Liu Lin was an official, the Song-Liao War continued. What's even worse is that the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty is to suppress the military with literature, and in order to suppress the martial arts, there must be civilian officials in the army.
Of course, if the Song army in the early Northern Song Dynasty was victorious, there would be no problem. As long as the army does not collapse, civilian officials will not die.
However, the second generation of the Great Song Dynasty was not a military talent, and directly defeated the army left by his brother. When he arrived at Zhenzong, he had to spend money to buy peace for the Liao State.
When he arrived at Renzong, he couldn't even beat Western Xia.
As the saying goes, if force is not enough, you have to be beaten.
Civil officials who have suffered defeat will not survive. It was not the Great Song Dynasty that killed them, but the enemy country that had won the battle killed them.
They are scholars, and they can be said to be the best officials to catch after defeat.
A military general like Yang Wuving, on the contrary, not many soldiers dared to catch him and kill him. Most of the generals with amazing force were trapped alive. Unlike civilian officials, without the protection of a large army, a small soldier can kill them.
Liu Lin's resignation was not because he wanted to join the army, but because he heard that he was going to send an envoy to Western Xia. It's also a deadly job. Anyway, the diplomats of the Great Song Dynasty will die a few times a year, so that this has become a profession that the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty are more afraid of than accompanying the army.
After all, wars don't happen every year, but when diplomatic envoys arrive in Renzong, they are already high-risk occupations in turn.
Of course, Liu Lin regretted his resignation, otherwise he would not have raised hope in his hometown and become a celebrity.
Shen Shi's sword, Liu Yuan really saw it in his eyes. Such a big wave can be split with a sword, and what are you afraid of the Liao people and the Xixia people. With such fierce protection, no country would dare to send an envoy.
In order to let Shen Shi bow his head after the door, Liu Yuan extended an olive branch. You must know that the Great Song Dynasty is not only a magical dynasty where civil officials extend olive branches and military attaches bow down. It is also an era when even famous generals like Di Qing and Yue Fei have to call themselves "lackeys boys" to civil officials. This is also the reason why Liu Yuan has the confidence to extend an olive branch.
It's just that he didn't know that Shen Shi was not a real Song Dynasty person, Shen Shi glanced at him, then looked at Bao Zheng and said: "If you have righteousness, you will indeed be able to change the ghosts and gods." ”
Hearing Shen Shi's approval of his statement, Liu Yuan smiled. But is Shen Shi talking about him? Shen Shi is talking about Bao Fei. As for Liu Yuanze, hehehe......
"What this son said is not wrong, but those female ghosts like the scholar's yang energy the most, and one breath of yang energy is better than ten mouths of ordinary people, because the scholar's yang energy has a literary atmosphere, which is very helpful to ghosts. It is indispensable to be taken by a few coquettish female ghosts and squeezed for a night. "Well, suddenly there was a man's voice.
"Who, who. Liu Yuan was so frightened that he almost jumped up.
It's already dark now, and it's a ghost story when I'm walking on the road, and I suddenly hear another voice talking, and I'm not scared to death.
At this time, a lantern approached quickly from the front, and when the sound was heard, the lantern was still far away, and before the words fell, it approached, and the speed was a little fast and weird, and people were behind the light, and they couldn't see the figure clearly, until they got closer, and everyone saw that a monk in a monk's robe strode over.
Everyone looked at the monk carefully, and saw that the monk was wearing a blue monk's robe and a bright head, which was very attention-grabbing.
"I've seen the Elders. ”
Elder is an honorific title for a disciple of the Shakti family. A scholar greeted him one after another.
Shen Shi glanced at this Shi disciple and did not sense mana fluctuations on him, so Shen Shi also nodded with the crowd and did not practice the etiquette.
"The donor came here late at night, and the poor monk didn't know whether to say it or not. The monk bowed back and spoke.
"I don't know what happened to the elders?" Liu Yuan said respectfully.
As a family of hope, the Liu family naturally knows the strength of Buddhism. There are no less than a million monks in the Great Song Dynasty alone, and they are still a system, as long as a person says a good word to someone, this person can be promoted to a celebrity in an instant.
Baume & Mercier, Baume & Mercier. It's not that everyone is unparalleled, as long as they are famous, they are celebrities. Every year, there will be more celebrities in the Great Song Dynasty, how did these people become famous? How many of them are real genius prodigies? And how many of them are created by family propaganda?
Don't look at the later generations to canvass votes, it seems to be quite enlightened to hold elections, but in fact, this is all left over from the ancients.
In addition, as an aside, there were about 10,000 Taoist priests in the Great Song Dynasty during the same period, and the highest was 30,000.
The monk did not speak immediately, but looked over one by one, and finally smiled: "I saw you returning late, the poor monk glanced at it curiously, but he wanted to remind a few people, a few of you may not know your own situation, a few of you are contaminated with ghosts and demons, I am afraid that I will encounter something unclean on the way this night." ”
Liu Yuan was suddenly shocked, and was shocked for a while, "The elder is really a god, the late generations crossed the river by boat during the day, and the river was stationary, and then it drove automatically, so we suspected that we had encountered a water demon or something." ”
When the monk heard this, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and congratulated and said: "Really congratulations, I can't imagine that the donors are so rich, even the water demon can't bear to harm ......"
"The elder has spoken. As soon as the monk spoke, everyone who spoke danced with their eyebrows, as if their lives were really precious.
"Elder, thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention, and we will definitely avoid walking at night in the future, so as not to encounter ghosts again. ”
A number of scholars thanked each other, and for a time they had a good impression of this monk.
However, he was nervous, and the monk spoke again: "Although a few of them are okay this time, they are counteracting with Quakers, and it doesn't hurt to meet them once or twice, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not meet again in the future." Repeatedly offsetting with Quakers is afraid that it will be detrimental to the future of the donors. ”
