Chapter 170: What Great Cause?
"The crow god has shown miracles and helped the poor people. The unicorn is now a long canal, and the world is peaceful. However, in just a few days, a few lines of poetry did not look like poetry, and the prophecy that did not look like poetry spread throughout Dinghu Province.
The rebellion of the displaced people was just a small misunderstanding before Xiangrui appeared, and the construction of the north and south long canals was not affected. In other words, the officialdom of Dinghu Province has no merit, and everyone is happy to see this situation. The only remaining question is who should present this auspicious rui to the court.
The three adults of Futai, Fantai, and Zhentai all knew that the key to this auspicious scene was Ye Xingyuan, so they were all waiting for him to come back, and wanted to take him into their hands, which meant that they had won the full merit this time.
At this time, Ye Xingyuan stayed in Danyuan County to receive an uninvited guest. The visitor was hazy, shrouded in a gray mist, only occasionally the mist dispersed, revealing the golden armor scales on his body, which was fleeting.
This is none other than the crow god deity who asked Ye Xingyuan to revive the incense! Although he can't fully appear in the flesh, he doesn't have to borrow the form as before, and only bows down to Ye Xingyuan with a shadowy image to thank him.
"Ye Xiansheng has helped him this time, and this god will not forget it, and there will be a supplementary report in the future. "A dignified god, but he salutes a mortal, and if he is seen by others, he is afraid that his jaw will drop in shock.
Although all this was indeed Ye Xingyuan's plan, he didn't dare to take credit, and thanked him: "The student just took advantage of the situation, and respected the gods." ”
When the crow god descended on the temple lady, he said to Ye Xingyuan that he would have the opportunity to revive the incense of the crow temple in the future, but Ye Xingyuan couldn't believe it at that time, and he didn't know when this kind of time would come.
Unexpectedly, in just over a month, the situation has changed like this, and by solving the rebellion of the displaced people, the matter of the crow god has been preliminarily solved.
auspicious and present. The reputation of the Raven Temple has been boosted, and it can always frighten many fools and fools. With the seeds of this incense, coupled with a set of missionary rules designed by Ye Xingyuan for the homeless people, even if the belief in the crow god cannot be said to be prosperous in the world, at least in this southwest area, it should be able to gain a foothold. There will be no more danger of extinction in a few decades.
Ye Xingyuan said that he was not completely modest, in fact, the situation in Dinghu Province had developed to such a point, and the cards in Ye Xingyuan's hand could only be so cooperative, under the guidance of the Mandate of Heaven, that the current effect could be achieved.
The homeless people created fake auspicious rui for them, and the crow god made the auspicious rui fake into real, and then took advantage of the subtle situation of the current officialdom in Dinghu Province. Turn this farce into a reality that is sure to be. Take a risk, and you will be dazzled like a tightrope to win.
It's a pity that although the Raven God has recovered some of his divine power now, he is still too weak to provide Ye Xingyuan with some substantial returns. However, the gods have promised a thousand gold, and there will be benefits in the future, and Ye Xingyuan is not in a hurry.
After the crow god said goodbye and left, Zhu Zhen rushed to see him again. Zhu Zhen turned evil into good fortune this time, although it is impossible to become the nine-grade inspection of his dreams. But I heard that the provincial commendation has come down. As one of the discoverers of auspiciousness, he can also be rewarded with ranks. Even though he had no real job, he was satisfied.
"Following my brother's instructions, all of my 20,000 homeless people have believed in the Raven God, and my brother can go to inspect them. "The first thing Zhu Zhen did when he came in was to repay his merits, and he acted resolutely. Since Ye Xingyuan gave the order, of course he carried it out to the letter.
Ye Xingyuan laughed and laughed, 20,000 homeless people, each with their own beliefs, even though this auspicious appearance is in the world. There is a reason, where is it possible to completely convert to the crow god in one fell swoop? This is obviously Zhu Zhen's reckless man forced to oppress, among the 20,000 people, how many sincerity do you know?
However, Zhu Zhen's ability is limited, he can make a scene, and he has already reached Ye Xingyuan's standard, Ye Xingyuan encouraged: "Leader Zhu has done a good job, but this review is not necessary, if the imperial court or the adults in the province come to inspect in the future, you subordinates should not show their feet." ”
Zhu Zhen patted his chest and took it all over, "Brother, don't worry, if the people I bring dare not believe in the crow god, they will be punished for a heavy crime when they go back!"
Sure enough, it was obtained by strong pressure. Ye Xingyuan smiled bitterly and didn't pursue it, and let him go back. For the matter of the crow god incense, he can help if he can, which can be regarded as holding the grass and beating the rabbit. After all, faith can only push the boat along the river, and looking at the appearance of the crow god in the world tonight, it is already a good job.
Of course, the one who provides more incense to the Crow God must be Zhu Ning'er's subordinates. After Zhu Ning'er talked with Ye Xingyuan on the mountain that day, she sincerely admired it, and went back to do her best, preaching and laying the foundation, and cooperating with the miracle of the collapsed crypt, which was very fruitful.
I heard that these tens of thousands of homeless people have regarded Zhu Ning'er as a holy crow. Many people are devoted to believing in the god of crows, but even the silver taels of grain distributed in this cash-for-work are only taken to the minimum standard of subsistence, and the rest are donated, which shows their fanaticism.
How long has it taken to create so many fanatical believers? Ye Xingyuan was even more impressed by Zhu Ning'er, this woman was always able to bring him unexpected surprises, and to some extent, surprise was more than joy.
This kind of brainwashing ability is even better than the words of the sage, after all, the sage cannot speak, what he says is the truth of heaven and earth, and it takes wisdom and innocence to understand. The belief in gods is surprisingly simple, and it is more intimate and easy to get started for the people at the bottom who have little culture.
Ye Xingyuan knew that he had almost opened Pandora's box, allowing Zhu Ning'er, an ambitious woman, to master the terrifying tools of the human heart. If the imperial court decays and its control declines, it is likely that there will be a Yellow Turban and White Lotus, but the matter has come to this point, and for the time being, it can only quench its thirst by drinking a donkey, and it is impossible to watch the 80,000 homeless people go to a dead end.
Anyway, this is not the only problem in the country now, there are many smart people in this world, and sooner or later someone will find out this set of things, Ye Xingyuan can only comfort himself like this.
When the provincial test is passed, he can hurry to the capital to take the top prize, and then ignore the mess in Hu Province, he should be able to see out of sight, right?
Just thinking about this, he said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and Zhu Ning'er came to see him overnight. Ye Xingyuan was a little surprised by her arrival.
I heard that in the north and south long canal dug out of the auspicious crypt, a big sacrifice will be held tomorrow, tens of thousands of displaced people to worship together, it is said that this so-called "holy woman" should be busy when she is busy, how can she have time to come?
Seeing Zhu Ning'er hire Tingting walking in, Ye Xingyuan asked: "The virtuous niece doesn't preside over the overall situation of the sacrifice, what is the reason for coming here?"
Zhu Ning'er was blessed and said with a smile: "Ning'er is here today to invite my uncle to watch the ceremony tomorrow." What is the interest of this great sacrifice, if my uncle doesn't come?"
Ye Xingyuan was stunned, shook his head and said, "I told you about this matter a long time ago, and all the things that show up will be done by your father and daughter." The two of you have their own lineage, with you as the master and the father as the auxiliary, which is in line with the way of yin and yang, and the way of the crow god will have a long history. What am I going to do?"
Ye Xingyuan had already made his attitude clear, although he had laid out this mess in Dinghu Province, he didn't want to get too involved, even if it was a return to the Crow God, he didn't expect much. He has always been a scholar, and if he wants to follow the right path of a scholar, how can he go to the path of a god-bastard?
With Zhu Zhen's father and daughter here, he can have a certain influence on the belief in the crow god among the displaced people, which is enough for him to find a fulcrum in the wrestling between Futai, Fantai, and Zhentai to temporarily avoid the wind and waves. As long as they can get past the provincial test, who wants to mess with these unstable elements?
He said these words openly and honestly to the Zhu family's father and daughter, and it was also an important reason for them to rest assured that he would not take away their benefits, why was Zhu Ning'er confused at this time?
Zhu Ning'er looked strange, but persuaded: "Uncle's heart, Ning'er knows everything." However, there is a saying that loyalty is good for deeds, so uncle might as well listen to me. The hearts of these outcasts are as changeable as duckweed, and it is certainly a convenient way to fool them with supernatural powers. But the hearts of the people have always been tied to the gods, not to the uncle.
Ning'er is loyal to her uncle and doesn't dare to have two hearts, but as the hope of all the people, it is inevitable that someone will want to stir up trouble. In my humble opinion, my uncle still has to show up and win the hearts of the people!"
What is this? Ye Xingyuan was a little confused by Zhu Ning'er. He is a scholar who has taken exams well, what does he want to do in the hearts of the people? This is originally a preferential treatment for the Zhu family's father and daughter, so how could he want to get involved?
Is this little girl here to show her loyalty? But how can you figure out that this tastes wrong? Ye Xingyuan frowned and said, "Don't think too much about the virtuous niece, I don't doubt the use of people, even if I invite you two fathers and daughters to come forward, I won't suspect that you have any different intentions." Isn't it just right that you have the name of a saint now?"
Zhu Ning'er gritted her teeth, and suddenly knelt down and said: "Ning'er knows that her uncle has great ambitions, and she has already sworn to serve her uncle as the master, and she will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire." Therefore, everything is for the sake of the uncle, tomorrow's great sacrifice, and all the people worship, except for the uncle, who else is qualified to stand in the center of ten thousand people?
I can't occupy this position, and neither can my father. Only when the uncle is shocked and wins the hearts of the people, when the flag is raised in the future, it will not disturb the morale of the army, this is a great cause for thousands of years, and my uncle can no longer hide behind the scenes!"
She is wholeheartedly tied to Ye Xingyuan, for fear that if she replaces Ye Xingyuan and accepts the worship of all the people, if she acts in the future, it is inevitable that there will be unwise people who can't distinguish between priorities and priorities, and if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.
The so-called heaven has no two days, and the people have no two masters, and such a major event as rebellion requires a unified command. Zhu Ning'er has long been convinced by Ye Xingyuan, so she will try her best to admonish her, and she is also painstaking.
What the hell is this? Ye Xingyuan was already dumbfounded, he had long thought that this little girl was weird, but he had never thought about it. Who knew that at such a young age, she would have such ambition and be so dedicated and loyal?
You just want to rebel, your whole family wants to rebel! The anger of the king and the overlord that I have been expecting is surging, how can it be such an unexpected and embarrassing scene?
He is a good scholar, when did he ever think about raising the banner to carry out the "great cause of thousands of years"? He just wanted to fool things! (To be continued......
