Chapter 1226: As dark-hearted as the little ancestor
Zhongqin Hall.
Qi Qian was sitting on the dragon chair. Below him were Lin Prime Minister Yu Lao and other important ministers. The other two were Taicheng Zhenren from Jinhua Temple and Master Huiquan from Jade Buddha Temple.
In view of the fact that those monks and Taoists who suddenly 'rebelled' in the middle of the journey were misleading the public and making the people's belief in the water god intensify, they were also a little numb. Thinking of what Qin Liuxi once said, they had no choice but to invite these two people.
Come and have a morning meeting together and listen to the voices of the officials.
Qi Qian and Lin Xiang also wanted to invite Qin Liuxi, but she seemed to have disappeared. I heard that she was in retreat. They had no choice but to invite these two. After all, the scale of Jinhua Temple and Jade Buddha Temple were both
First of all, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is a thousand-year-old temple, and countless saints come to visit it every year.
As for Taicheng Zhenren and Hui Quan, they are both accomplished people, and the temple behind them is very representative, so it would be a good idea to let them discuss it.
"The host and the real person heard it just now from behind the curtain. Nowadays, the number of people worshiping the water god is increasing day by day, and it has become a new sect. The new dynasty has just been established. What Da Feng needs is recuperation, not turmoil, not in my view of Buddhism and Taoism.
The two sects are not pleasing to the eye, and they are removed for selfish reasons. In fact, the ranks of the saints of this sect are constantly growing. If left unchecked, once someone with intentions incites the people, it will cause great disaster."
Master Taicheng and Hui Quan looked at each other and said, "To be honest with you, Saint, we have already understood that the water god did exist a hundred years ago, but today's water god has become an evil god."
Everyone's expressions changed.
Prime Minister Lin immediately thought of what Qin Liuxi said about the terrifying existence that wanted to tear down the sky.
Qi Qian frowned and said, "Can the evil god be eliminated?"
Master Taicheng smiled bitterly and said: "Only Qingpingguan's Fuqiu Immortal Chang can get rid of her, but now she is in retreat, so we can't disturb her."
Prime Minister Lin said: "Then there is nothing we can do to him?"
Master Huiquan clasped his hands together, recited Amitabha, and said: "The Water God Sect can absorb saints so quickly only because the people in our Buddhist path are determined to preach and guide."
Mr. Zuo said: "It is true. If it were not for the preaching of Buddhism and Taoism, everyone would not believe in this water god."
"That's right, you Buddhist and Taoist sects have unshirkable responsibilities, and you should vigorously clean up the sect." Someone also said this.
Master Huiquan said: "This is what the poor monk and the real person want to say. Anyone who rebels will be led back to the right path."
The monks who helped spread the word and believed in the water god were all bewitched by Siluo. It was their duty to lead him back to the right path.
"That's right, we will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it." Master Taicheng also said with certainty.
He wouldn't say more. When they seek political power, these officials think that the saints will lead to rebellion and turmoil when they grow stronger. But what they think of is that the more saints and believers there are, the stronger their will will be, and the harder it will be when the time comes.
deal with.
"It's easy to lead them back to the right path. What if they end up on a dead end?"
The tone of this questioning made Master Taicheng frown and feel a little unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, there was movement in the void, and a slightly frivolous and uninhibited voice also sounded.
"Since you also know that it is a dead end, then just send them on their way. What's the problem?"
This sudden sound startled everyone.
Although Qi Qian was also shocked, he quickly recognized whose voice it was, calmed down quickly, and raised his hand to stop the hidden guard from moving rashly.
When Feng Xiu saw Qi Qian's movements, he glanced at the corner of his mouth and revealed his figure.
"Ah, protect, protect." The questioning official almost fainted from fright, but he did not forget to show his loyalty and stumbled towards Qi Qian.
The other important ministers also stood in front of Qi Qian.
What kind of evil god can be more shocking and terrifying than this man who is as beautiful as a demon and seduces people's souls appearing out of thin air?
Qi Qian said: "My lords, there is no need to panic. This is the owner of the Palace of Eternal Life, and he is also a Taoist."
Master Taicheng and Master Huiquan bowed to Feng Xiu.
Feng Xiu nodded slightly as a greeting, then looked at the man just now and said, "Why are you panicking? I won't eat you."
Everyone: "..."
He looked at Taicheng Zhenren and said: "You shouldn't have spoken so vaguely to them. If those traitors are really determined to go to death as he said, then let's fight to the death. Otherwise, we can fight to the death."
, do you want to keep them to help others do evil?"
Taicheng Zhenren laughed.
Master Huiquan was very obedient and didn't answer. I don't know where this fox came from. The evil spirit and evil spirit all over his body were not gone. It's best not to mess with him.
Feng Xiu looked at Qi Qian again and said: "Those monks and Taoists will naturally be dealt with by us, but those believers will have to be dealt with by your court. Mortals have selfish motives, and as long as their lifeblood is grasped, all gods will be empty.
. Pass on the instructions. The water god is an evil god who transports and eats souls. Anyone who worships him will be in bad luck and is not allowed to worship him. He will destroy the statue within three days after seeing the announcement. If he does not listen to the advice, once discovered, he will be slapped with a blackboard for thirty years or caned for two times.
Ten and a fine of fifty taels of silver. If you cannot pay the fine, you will have to serve as a corvee after being sentenced. In addition, the rewards and punishments are clear, and there will be rewards for reporting. If you report someone who worships the water god, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If you say this imperial edict is issued, who will
Dare to confess?"
Everyone thought about it and found out that this strategy could be used.
Human nature is selfish. When it comes to your own interests, you must take care of yourself first. Look at the punishment first. How harsh is it? Even if you beat it, you still have to pay a fine of silver. What can you do with the money?
There is also the report, which is simply poisonous. You can get a reward of ten taels of silver by reporting it and worshiping the water god. If you use it sparingly, your family can live for a year.
"Thank you for your advice, boss." Qi Qian saluted.
Fengxiu waved his hand and said: "No need to thank me, this is a bad move that Yu Changkong thought up. I just met him on the way and passed on a message for him."
Qi Qian was a little surprised, and felt warm in his heart.
"What if someone slanders others for the reward of silver? In addition, Yuhang in the south of the Yangtze River is a prosperous place. The most people who believe in this are the wealthy gentry, and there are officials to protect them. If they incite the people, wouldn't they cause chaos?" The one who started?
said the questioning official.
The feudal lord sneered softly: "You are stupid or not. You are not afraid of them moving, but you are afraid that they will not move. Your treasury is so poor that even the poor can't stay. If the officials and wealthy businessmen in Yuhang in the south of the Yangtze River want to incite the people to make trouble, why not rebel against the party?
Are you going to raid their homes to solve the problem of an empty treasury? If you loot a few more, the treasury will have money. Qi Qian, you are the emperor. Whoever you say is guilty is guilty, so why are you so polite?"
Qi Qian: "..."
Is this not teaching me to be a foolish king?
Qian Shangshu immediately jumped out: "Your Majesty, I second this proposal!"
This move is much better than selling the harem of a saint.
Everyone looked puzzled, but they also handed over their hands: "My lord, I second the proposal."
Master Taicheng glanced at Feng Xiu and thought to himself, "Those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. I believe this. I have the same dark heart as that little ancestor!"
