Chapter 20: Separate Statements
(Thank you for the reward from Pi Gongzi's book friends, today's sixth watch...... )
However, Liu Shengzhi did not rush to refute. Since this Jiang Shen said it so seriously, there must be a reason.
"The Sun father and son rose to Jiangdong back then, killing heroes, but they didn't let go of all kinds of shrines. How could it be that when Sun Quan arrived, a Zhong Shanjun was suddenly erected? Have you ever thought ......about it?"
Liu Shengzhi stopped talking, at this time it was not far from the time of Eastern Wu, and all kinds of legends were still circulating in Jiangzuo.
It is also clearly recorded in the history books of later generations, when Sun Jian's father and son first rose, it was not as glorious as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
As an outsider, he almost fell out with the entire Jiangdong gate valve family and the county wanghaoqiang. In particular, Sun Ce was active in Jiangdong as a general of Yuan Shu, who usurped the Han Dynasty and became independent. It is even more despised by the people of the time.
Because of this, without the cooperation of the local powerful lords, Sun Ce killed the Jiangdong people, but he was not soft at all, and even the indigenous gods in various places did not let go......
The most famous thing is that Sun Ce killed Yu Ji, and this kind of thing is not isolated. Whether it was a local shrine or a wizard, Sun Ce refused to let go.
"Look at Sun Jian's background, he was originally a county official when he was young, and later he made meritorious contributions to catching thieves, and he was promoted all the way to the county magistrate, and slowly made his fortune from then on.
Look at the Zhong Shanjun again, saying that he was the Moling Lieutenant at the end of the Han Dynasty, chased the robbers to the foot of Zhongshan, and was buried in Zhongshan after dying in battle. Gradually, there were supernatural powers, and even a plague broke out in Jiankang City, forcing Sun Quan to make him a god......"
Speaking of which, there is no need to say more. Liu Shengzhi found something suspicious, the father and son of the Sun family are stubborn. Extremely high-spirited.
That Sun Jian, Sun Ce, father and son are all known as the Jiangdong Tigers, so it can be seen.
It seems that Sun Quan has a better temper. But as long as you look at the history books, you can know that this man has a stubborn temper and is not under his father and brother.
And he is open-minded. But it's also very narrow. Especially in his later years, all kinds of perverse and brutal acts.
almost forced all the important ministers like Zhang Zhao and Lu Xun to death, and even swept away all the four major families in Wuzhong
In his later years, he held a grudge against Zhang Zhao, the first important minister of Eastern Wu, who persuaded him to join Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi, and often brought it up during the banquet.
Such a character, who is stubborn and self-serving, will be repaid. You're going to force him to do something. How is that possible?
As you can imagine. That Zhong Shanjun came out of the plague in Jiankang and coerced Sun Quan to admit it. Sun Quan's most likely reaction was to directly lead his troops over and wipe out Zhong Shanjun's shrine.
It's definitely similar to Sun Ce's killing of Yu Ji back then......
Therefore, the biggest doubt about the rise of Zhong Shanjun lies in this.
"In fact, the so-called Zhong Shanjun is the god set up by the Sun family itself, and he is also the protector of Sun Wu. This in itself is a false name deliberately made by the Sun family in order to portray his father as a god......"
The Jiang God smiled slightly: "Otherwise, how could there be any god who rose so fast." All of a sudden, he became the protector of Eastern Wu and the Eastern Jin Dynasty......"
Liu Shengzhi was silent. I have believed most of it. That Jiang Shen naturally had a lot of evidence, and seeing that Liu Shengzhi believed it, he didn't say more.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Shengzhi asked, "I don't know if Jiang Shen told me this." What does that mean?"
Liu Shengzhi and Zhong Shanjun have a festival, and it is also a festival because of the Wang family. He didn't believe that this Jiang Shen had nothing to do with what he said.
This Jiang Shen smiled again, and the smart man spoke. Sure enough, it saves a lot of effort: "Huan Xuan entered Jiankang with the help of Suhou God, but did not get the help of Zhong Shanjun. ”
Suhou God. Isn't that Su Jun?
Su Jun was a rebel general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Na Zu Yue was the younger brother of Zu Di who smelled the chicken and danced. Together, they launched a rebellion during the reign of Emperor Cheng.
These two people used to be big officials in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they were both homeless commanders, and they controlled the army of homeless people.
made great contributions to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Wang Dun entered Jiankang and almost changed the dynasty, it was all supported by these two forces.
It's just that the Eastern Jin Dynasty court has always been suspicious of the homeless handsome, and all kinds of practices forced the two to rebel. The coalition soldiers killed Jiankang, and even took down Taicheng, looting countless times. The arrogance is similar to today's Huan Xuan.
It's just that in the end, it was broken and killed by the joint efforts of all the gate valves.
Unexpectedly, although this Su Jun is dead, his soul is still there, and he has become a ghost. It is called the god of Suhou. But he is also one of Jiangzuo's famous gods!
"What does this matter have to do with me?" Liu Shengzhi was a little puzzled.
"Liu Dugong captured Xiangyang, didn't he plan to send reinforcements to Jiankang?" asked Jiang Shen in surprise.
Liu Shengzhi laughed: "What does the Eastern Jin Dynasty court have to do with me? I have no official position in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I was not born in Jiangzuo. The Sima family and I don't have any grievances, so why should I help Jiankang?"
"Does that Du Gong want to enter Shu?" Jiang Shen said with a smile.
"That's right," Liu Shengzhi nodded. There is nothing left to hide.
"Then do you know the Shinto situation in Shu?"
"I'm about to listen to Jiang Shen's explanation!"
The two of them laughed when they looked at each other, and they had a feeling that they were going to meet a good talent.
"In that year, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent envoys to the Western Regions, met Gashmorteng and Zhu Falan, and returned to the Central Plains. Those monks pretended to be light on their faces, saying that Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty dreamed of gold at night and sent people to the Western Regions to usher in the Dharma clouds......
But I don't want to think about how enthusiastic Emperor Ming is about Confucian scriptures, how can he send someone to the Western Regions to ask for the Dharma that he knows nothing about, it's really nonsense!"
Jiang Shen let out a long sigh, but Liu Shengzhi knew that this was about to get to the point.
In the distance, looking at the heights, you can vaguely see a sandbar. There is a Buddhist temple above, and that is the Iron Buddha Temple, one of the most important Buddhist temples outside Xiangyang City.
"Since Buddhism came to the East, the original Middle-earth Shinto has collapsed, and countless gods have fallen. To this day, it is still turbulent...... "The Jiang Shen smiled slightly: "But these monks have also done a good deed, do you know what it is?"
"Could it be that you're talking about overseas dragons?" Liu Shengzhi asked softly.
"That's right, the biggest enemies of my Middle-earth Divine Dao, especially the Jianghu Water God, were originally those overseas dragons. I knew that after Du Gong began to prepare to conquer Xiangyang, he would raze all those monks. However, this Iron Buddha Temple, it's better not to move......"
Liu Shengzhi smiled faintly: "I know that the Iron Buddha Temple is the place where the water eye is suppressed, if I want to move, I will already take it!"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Shen smiled and said nothing, and said no more.
After a long time, Fang Cai asked: "How are you going to take Xiangyang, but Dugong is ready?" (to be continued......)
