Chapter 455: Fellow Daoists, please stay
The dismissal of the Nestorian and Wu families had a great impact on Chang'an. Not only did some nobles become unable to sit still, but even the "immortals" who had gone to two major tortures were asking people to find out some inside stories.
, who knows when the imperial court will find some excuses and kill them again.
Worms have their own ways, rats have their own ways. Whether they are pilgrims or close friends, everyone has used all the connections that can be used. At this time, there is no way to care about the amount of favors owed!
Changsun Wuji was a believer and a frequent visitor to the Qintian Prison. More importantly, he had a close relationship with the emperor and the prince. He would naturally be the first to know any news, so Li Chunfeng decided to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs in person.
please teach me.
When he arrived outside the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue, he saw Heng Lian and Zhang Sizheng standing outside with dead faces. Needless to say, that man was inside!
So, just when Li Chunfeng turned around to leave, he saw Chang Sun Chong staggering out of the room.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay, fellow Taoist, I have something important to discuss with you!" He couldn't find his father, so he asked his son for the same thing, so he quickly stepped forward and stopped Changsun Chong who was heading west.
Hearing Li Chunfeng call himself a fellow Taoist, Changsun Chong couldn't help but frowned. "You're always trying to be courteous for nothing, and you're either a traitor or a thief. Even if you're a monk, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. I have to be careful with you."
"Li Jianzheng, please don't call me fellow Taoist. My old man believes in your tricks, but I don't. If you have something to say, just say it, and if you have anything to say, let it go. We are all acquaintances. Do you need to use this trick?",
As Changsun Chong spoke, he looked up and down at Li Chunfeng, who had a lewd expression on his face.
Haha... After laughing a few times, Li Chunfeng said casually: "Zhongliang, you are right, that is, we are all brothers, let's take a step to talk."
After pulling Changsun Chong aside, Li Chunfeng continued in a low voice: "Zhongliang, our Taoist sect has a good relationship with your Changsun family. You can't just stand by and watch as my brother is in trouble!"
What he said was irrelevant. Changsun Chong frowned and asked: "Old Li, what do you mean by this? When has our Changsun family ever done anything to add insult to injury? Besides, I haven't heard of any troubles in your Taoist sect recently.
?”
Changsun Chong is a close minister of the prince and the nephew of the queen. He can get the wind and the rain. He has wielded a lot of power at a young age. Of course, he doesn't know the hard work of these people.
In other words, not everyone has the opportunity to rely on the big tree of the East Palace. The prince's vision is not generally high, and not everyone can enter his discernment.
"Zhongliang, you have heard about what happened to Nestorianism a few days ago. Oh, it was so tragic. All the fellow Taoists who went to watch the execution were frightened, fearing that if they were not careful, they would end up in the same fate. You
I also know that these guys are good at pretending to be magic, but if they use real rules, they will have diarrhea.
Many elders in the Taoist lineage were also a little restless because of this, not knowing what the holy will was, so I sent my brother out to inquire about the news.
Originally, I came to see your father, but the young man is here, and it’s not convenient for us to go in!" After speaking, Li Chunfeng quietly pointed in the direction of the lobby, with a very wretched expression.
How obscene.
Ah, this matter! This is difficult to handle. The emperor and the prince have never had a good impression of these guys. Like the Nestorian guys, they all think that they are servants of God. They neither serve nor pay taxes, and they can also
It's strange that such a rogue doesn't make people hate him when he lives a comfortable life and goes around cheating.
Okay, seeing that you have a good relationship with the old man, I'll give you some advice. It's up to you whether you can figure it out.
So, Changsun said calmly: "Old Li, money can help or harm people. The money your Taoist sect has accumulated over the years can probably be exchanged for several treasuries without any problem!"
Today, the prince and my father have been talking inside for so long, just to build some permanent river embankments and dams so that the people will be less affected by floods..."
Well? Li Chunfeng understood what Chang Sun Chong meant, ah, this is to save the Taoist sect from losing money and avoid disasters. Money is a magical thing. The old guys are like Pixiu, they just eat and don't eat. Let them spend money.
, what is the difference between that and cutting their flesh with a knife?
Besides, what kind of appetite does the prince have? He only has a small amount of money to spend, but building river embankments is a bottomless pit. Old guys can cultivate Taoism and temples, even if they don't care about the cost, but let them throw money into the water, and they may not even make a sound.
If you can't hear it, can they agree?
"Zhongliang, the Taoist sect has a lot of money, but it can't stand the lavish spending of the elders. Can you tell us some information about how big the scale is and how much money it costs."
"Old Li, your question is on point. As for me, I am a prison officer. If you ask about legal matters, I will definitely know.
But when it comes to spending money and projects, I really don't know anything about it and I'm not interested. As for how you want to show your filial piety to His Majesty, that's up to you.
Let me remind you one more thing, everything must be done in a certain way. Why do you have so many disciples and disciples? Those Nestorian guys are a lesson to you, so think about it carefully!"
Looking at Chang Sun Chong's leaving figure, Li Chunfeng bowed to him from behind. Although Chang Sun Chong was arrogant, for the sake of friendship, he still gave him face this time, especially the last sentence, which was a point.
substance.
In the past two years, once the Taoist sect has made some achievements, it has asked for more in the ultimatum and petitioned for more at every turn. The emperor has made exceptions time and time again.
With an example like Nestorianism in front of us, if the Taoist sect continues to recruit disciples, occupy land, and eat and occupy as much as those bald donkeys from the Fo sect, then Nanya will be waiting for them.
of troops.
Hey, let's go back and discuss it with my uncle to see if we can get a little more. Otherwise, if we send it to the East Palace, we won't be flattering, but will make others hate me.
Just when Li Chunfeng was thinking about what to tell Yuan Tiangang after returning, Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji walked over from the main entrance of the lobby.
"Your Majesty, Li Chunfeng, has met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Seeing Li Chunfeng appear here, Li Chengqian was not surprised at all. Changsun Wuji was obsessed with Taoist classics. Whenever he had nothing to do, he would sit with these talented people to talk about Taoism and Dharma. This involved personal hobbies, and Li Chengqian just didn't do it.
If you like these things, you won't stop them.
