Wen Yanbo was supported by Wen Yiqing when he arrived at Funing Hall.
His brows furrowed.
Because the person coming towards him is the person he hates the most right now.
Prince Shaobao, Zhang Fangping, the military governor of Zhangde Army!
However, Wen Yanbo soon started laughing.
Because Wen Yanbo knew that Feng Jing would soon be ordered to return to the court.
The decree has been issued.
The envoy of Baoning Army and the envoy of Zhongtai Palace ordered Feng Jing of Henan Prefecture to return to the court to report on his duties.
This is caused by the struggle of multiple forces.
Among them, the one who contributed the most was of course the Grand Master Wen Yanbo.
"Grand Master!" Zhang Fangping also saw Wen Yanbo, and immediately stepped aside, bowing slightly to salute, but his gesture was very perfunctory, and he just cupped his hands.
"Is Zhang Jiedu entering the palace today?" Wen Yanbo asked with squinted eyes.
"To be honest, Grand Master, I have been ordered to present the third volume of "Yuanyou Dictionary"..." Zhang Fangping replied without mercy.
He is very angry now!
Because Feng Jing’s golden-haired rat is about to return to court.
The time is just before the Holy Day of the Queen Mother.
Once Feng Jing returns to the court, the golden-haired rat will definitely try to compete with him for the right to compile the "Yuanyou Dictionary".
Just thinking about it makes Zhang Fangping feel sick.
"Compiled to the third volume so quickly?" Wen Yanbo smiled: "Jiedu should be more careful and more careful."
"This is a grand ceremony for the officials to present gifts to the two palaces! It is also a cultural and educational event for the country and the dynasty!"
"Grandmaster's advice, I will bear it in mind!" Zhang Fangping said almost through gritted teeth.
"That's good!" Wen Yanbo nodded as if it were a matter of course, and said in the tone of a superior instructing his subordinates: "I will go to the "Yuanyou Dictionary" bookstore in a few days to pay a visit to Jiedu..."
"Don't dare!" Zhang Fangping lowered his head, his old eyes seemed to be cannibalistic.
"I am in the bookstore, waiting for the grand master to come!"
Wen Yanbo smiled and said goodbye.
Zhang Fangping smiled and said goodbye.
He stood there all the time, watching Wen Yanbo's back disappear into the palace.
Then he spat viciously: "Old man!"
"If Han Wei Gong and Fu Zheng Gong are here, who will get this old man to show off his power and rely on his old age to betray his old age?"
Unfortunately, the reality is that Han Wei Gong has already passed away, and Fu Zheng Gong has also passed away.
He actually let that old man steal the status that should have belonged to the second rich man, Mr. Han.
…
After Wen Yanbo entered the closed door of Funing Hall, he had completely forgotten Zhang Fangping.
Back then, when he was in court, Zhang Fangping was no match for him.
What’s more, now?
A defeated general is not worth mentioning!
With Wen Yiqing's support, Wen Yanbo slowly walked into the curtain of Funing Hall.
From a distance, he saw the figure of a small official sitting in the bead curtain at the end of the curtain.
Next to Xiao Guanjia, there was a delicate figure that he was very familiar with.
Wen Yanbo laughed in his heart.
Today’s little official!
You really nailed his weakness!
…
"That's what happened..."
"What do you think, Grand Master?"
Zhao Xu sat on the mattress and told Wen Yanbo what he had said to Cao Yan two days ago.
Wen Yanbo was very cooperative: "Your Majesty has devoted himself to the teachings of saints, extended his grace to the world, and benefited all people. I would like to congratulate the world on this."
"Of the four stations in the southeast, northwest and northwest, which one does the Grand Master prefer?" Zhao Xu asked with a smile, then he picked up the perilla drink cooked by Wen Xunniang and drank it slowly.
The fragrance of perilla fills the mouth, the sweetness of honey is not greasy but not heavy, and the refreshing smoothie dilutes the sweltering heat of this summer.
Wen Yanbo was obviously stunned.
Although it is said that the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty were not shy about talking about profit.
But for the emperor to hint directly and nakedly to a senator, it was somewhat exaggerated!
It's true, this little official has already proven that his words and actions are not arbitrary, but after careful consideration.
At the same time, he can also be responsible for the words he says and the decisions he makes.
Wen Yanbo might think he was joking with him, or even playing tricks on him.
However, Wen Yanbo's expression still became serious.
Wen Yanbo stood up, bent down slightly, and then asked angrily: "I am stupid, I don't know what your Majesty is talking about?"
"I hope your Majesty will make it clear!"
Zhao Xu looked at Wen Yanbo's serious expression and calmly put down the perilla drink in his hand.
At this moment he even wanted to laugh.
Because Wen Yanbo’s words, translated as: “You might as well speak more clearly!”
This reminded Zhao Xu of a micro-manipulation master he had seen on modern TV.
Therefore, he was not angry. He even chuckled. He knew these civil servants of the Song Dynasty.
Everyone wants to be a bitch and also wants to build a memorial arch.
Including Zhang Dun!
During the Shaosheng era, Zhang Dun would find an excuse every now and then to instigate others to write a letter to impeach him.
Every time, Zhao Xu had to go to persuade him to stay and comfort him.
Once, Zhao Xu deliberately made a joke with Zhang Dun and left out someone's impeachment memorial.
The next day, Lao Zhang hurriedly submitted a message to beg for an audience. When he arrived in front of the emperor, his demeanor was like an ant on a hot pot. At that time, Zhao Xu laughed and leaned forward.
Therefore, Zhao Xu stopped teasing Wen Yanbo, lest Lao Deng would be angry.
He said to Wen Xunniang beside him: "Mr. Ganquan County, go and fetch for me the few volumes of manuscripts that I have placed on the desk in my bed."
Wen Xunniang was obviously stunned.
Obviously, she is not used to the social style of "referring to her position at work".
After a while, she came to her senses and bowed Yingying: "No!"
Wen Yanbo looked at Wen Xunniang and could freely enter and leave Zhao Xu's bed, without Zhao Xu even needing to tell him where to go to pick up the manuscript.
My heart suddenly shivered and I quickly lowered my head.
Scholar-officials and relatives are two different kinds of creatures in front of the imperial court.
The scholar-bureaucrats could confront the emperor forcefully.
This is a duty and requirement, and it is also the ‘ancestral law’ that has been formed since Renmiao.
But relatives... must recognize their status clearly at all times.
Don't call him a hard-core emperor.
Even when you speak, you should choose your words carefully, otherwise you will be labeled as "arrogant because of favor".
If you are not careful, you will be labeled as ‘domineering’, and then you will be attacked by the government and the public.
I remember back then, Empress Wen Cheng and Zhang were so favored.
But his father and brother were still cautious and cautious like domestic servants in front of the emperor.
Now, since the Wen family wants to transform into relatives.
I can no longer cling to the bad temper of scholar-bureaucrats.
Not long after, Wen Xunniang arrived in front of Zhao Xu with several stacks of documents and presented them.
Zhao Xu took these documents, picked up one at random, and handed it to Wen Yanbo: "Grand Master, please read..."
"This is the text I copied from the Sermons of the Three Dynasties that you gentlemen revised for me today, such as "Chong Mu Zai", "Minister of Body" and other sermons and holy words..."
"The ancestors succeeded the saints with saints, and the saints' virtues were passed down from generation to generation. Every time we use them to make great achievements! I, a young man, do not dare to forget each other for a day, so I read diligently day and night and do not dare to relax."
Wen Yanbo quickly stood up and paid his respects: "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, I would like to congratulate the world."
Then he took the stack of Yuan calligraphy papers sent by Wen Xunniang.
Every word on the paper is correct and correct. It is indeed the original handwriting of today's official family.
Looking at the content again, we can see that they are all stories of Ren Temple, Ying Temple, and the late emperor showing love, importance, trust and forgiveness to his ministers.
However, very few words are used for each thing.
It can be as short as two or three crosses, or as long as one hundred crosses.
It simply records the conversation between a certain late emperor and a certain minister in a certain month of a certain year.
However, Wen Yanbo looked at it and narrowed his eyes.
Because if you look at these words and stories separately, they might not seem like much.
They just teach the emperor that ministers should be valued, officials should be selected with morality, ministers should be treated with kindness, ministers should be respected, scholar-bureaucrats should be treated favorably, etc.
But when these things are put together, something doesn't taste right.
Just listen to the little official sitting on the throne say: "The teachings of the three dynasties are the two prime ministers and gentlemen who worked hard day and night to extract the sacred teachings, words and deeds of our ancestors to teach me how to listen to and inquire about politics.
It is also the study of political governance.”
"The Prime Minister of the Zuo, Duke Kang, once told me when he gave me the Precious Instructions: The master should be a scholar, observe the intentions of the ancient saints, discuss the rise and fall of the emperors in the past dynasties, and seek the key to establishing government and affairs.
If you talk about the art of loving the people and benefiting things, you will naturally get better with each passing day, and your virtue will spread throughout the world!"
"I will study it diligently so that I can improve with each passing day!"
As Wen Yanbo listened, he hesitated and said like a conditioned reflex: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Xu looked at it, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Just like the scriptures of Confucius and Mencius, it is also impossible for the deceased emperor to rise from the coffin and explain his words and deeds back then.
The scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty, even the two saints Confucius and Mencius, could directly communicate with each other, and then announced that they had known the "true meaning" of the saints and understood the intentions of the "sages" back then.
Naturally, it is impossible to let go of the ‘former emperors’.
Therefore, the so-called "Sacred Instructions of the Three Dynasties" is actually a so-called "Sacred Instructions of the Ancestors" compiled and excerpted by the scholar-officials out of their own interests.
Its authenticity is not absent.
But it is generally similar to the modern "Reader" and "Zhiyin".
The deeds and conversations excerpted and intercepted above have all been beautified and whitewashed. There is even a question mark as to whether some things actually happened!
Why?
Because when Jing Yan Guan was ordered to compile the "Three Dynasties Precepts", he followed the story of the Renmiao Dynasty.
In the "Bao Xun" written in the Renmiao era, a large number of folk stories were used.
It even directly refers to the "Sacred Instructions of the Three Pilgrimages" written privately by Shi Jie.
With this precedent, whether it was written by Han Jiang or Lu Gong, whether it was written by Fan Chunren or Lu Dafang, in the compilation process of the "Three Dynasties Precepts", a large number of folk tales that conformed to their ideologies and positions were used.
Many things were even directly copied from Sima Guang's "Shu Shui Ji Wen" and the private notes of other old party literati and ministers.
Therefore, when Li Tao later wrote "The Long Continuation of Zizhi Tongjian", he saw the various "Sacred Instructions" and "Hadith" materials that had been left behind.
Because he discovered that many things in these "Sermons" and "Hadith" cannot be found in actual records, and there are no records in the history of the country.
Even the years, months and days are blurred, and I can only estimate the approximate years by relying on the monarchs and ministers they talked about.
Of course, Zhao Xu would not be used to these scholar-bureaucrats.
Journalism.
It's as if he doesn't know how.
A monk can touch it, even a poor Taoist can touch it!
"So, Taishi, I am following the methods of our ancestors, using our ancestors' love for the people as our foundation, putting the world first, and focusing on the country, to carry out our ancestors' stories of 'emphasis on shepherding and slaughtering' and 'body ministers'."
As he spoke, he began to memorize the excerpts he had excerpted.
Generally speaking, it's all about Injo, Yeongjo, and Hwangkao.
Their deeds are all that the three late emperors valued, were close to and trusted ministers, and acted freely. Finally, with the assistance of this wise minister and capable officials, they finally suppressed the rebellion or stabilized the famine in a certain area.
Among them, there is even Wen Yanbo’s own story.
"During the Qing Dynasty of Injo's reign, Beizhou rebelled and the world was shaken. Injo sighed and said: None of the ministers are doing anything for the country, so what's the use of going to the palace every day?"
"At that time, Wen Yanbo, the grand master of Pingzhang, was in charge of the military and state affairs. He was the deputy envoy to the privy council. When he heard about it, he was so impressed that he begged to see Renzu and reported the incident in Beizhou, the strategy of calming the people and quelling the chaos, and the words of pacifying and rewarding the army. Renzu
Ancestor Nai was delighted and said: I have entrusted my army and state to your love! I worshiped the envoys of Xuanfu and came out to quell the rebellion..."
When Wen Yanbo heard this, he finally knew something was wrong.
Because this official is practicing the "Three Dynasties Treasure Training" in reverse.
He directly processed the carefully selected sermons, hadiths, and deeds of the "Three Saints" in the Sermons of the Three Dynasties, and then spliced these things together to form his own set of logic.
However, this logic is quite smooth!
Even, it has occupied the moral high ground.
really!
After the official finished memorizing the stories and deeds he had excerpted, he said affectionately: "The Three Sages govern government with benevolence first, caring for the people as the foundation, and benefiting the world."
"Although I am young, I am still willing to serve you!"
"That's why I decided to buy the embankment company last year, and now I'm starting to buy the pawn shop."
"but……"
"After all, the counterfeit office is no better than the embankment department...it involves millions of families..."
"If a merchant buys it without mercy, but instead strips it, carves it, and abuses the people, how can I bear it?"
"The grand master, the elder of the four dynasties, my teacher and protector, came out in my generation to lead the people to a new beginning!"
As he said this, the young official who was sitting on the mattress had already stood up and bowed to Wen Yanbo.
Wen Yanbo's eyelids jumped.
This taste...
Wen Yanbo is very familiar!
Because there is a record in historical records - after Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he deeply felt that the merits of the veteran army were valuable in Beijing, and he was afraid of being in danger, so he issued an edict to the two prime ministers Chen Ping. Zhou Bo said: "If you send the princes to the country, you may not say it."
The most important thing to me, Prime Minister, is the country where I lead the princes!
Therefore, the two great ancestors and elders who had killed Zhu Lu and established Emperor Wen were relieved of their power and sent back to their feudal kingdoms with a flimsy edict.
Emperor Wen was able to assume great power.
Nowadays, the tone, word choice, and attitude of petty officials are almost the same as the tone, word choice, and attitude of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty in historical records.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty wanted to take power.
So what is the purpose of Xiaoguanjia?
Wen Yanbo was excited and immediately realized - this was to ask the Wen family to submit their name!
They are also forcing him, a veteran, to express his stance!
He was even testing the Wen family to see if they had the consciousness to help the emperor do bad things and dirty things - yes, nine out of ten bad things done by the relatives of the Song Dynasty were actually done for the emperor.
Of course Wen Yanbo knew this very well, because he was very close to Queen Wen Chengzhang's family back then.
He is very familiar with the affairs of the Zhang family.
In those years, the relatives of the Zhang family were greedy for money, seized power, and interfered in local money-making businesses everywhere, which caused a lot of criticism in the world.
Do you really think the Zhang family is willing?
Don’t the Zhang family want to imitate the Cao family and live a pure life?
Have no idea!
They were all forced.
When Wen Yanbo thought of this, he lost all temper.
He once again became the Wen Yanbo who, in the Qingli and Huangyou years, licked his face and became brothers with Zhang Yaozuo in order to pay homage to the prime minister.
"Your majesty is a wise man, inherited from his ancestors, and faithful to the teachings of his ancestors, he will surely become the wise master of the world!" Wen Yanbo immediately expressed his attitude.
Then, he sighed: "However, the old minister is old and it may be difficult to act."
It's not that he wants to shirk it.
It's true that he is really not suitable for this job.
"If Your Majesty will not give up, I will beg my dog and my husband to serve Your Majesty!"
This is reverse testing.
Wen Yanbo did not want the Wen family to end up like the Zhang family - Zhang Yaozuo worked as a dog for Renmiao, did so many things, and was besieged by the world.
And finally?
The Zhang family doesn't even have a mansion in the capital, so they can only rent other people's houses to live in!
After the death of Empress Wen Cheng and Zhang, the Zhang family could not even pay the rent, so they could only write a letter begging the court for favor.
Only then did Renmiao issue an edict, asking Yousi to pay a monthly rent of ninety thousand.
Converted, that's one hundred and twenty guans per month.
During the Jiayou period, the money might have been enough for the Zhang family to rent a relatively decent house in Bianjing City.
But now...
I'm afraid I can only go to the edge of the new city to rent a house big enough for dozens of Zhang family members.
The most chilling thing is Zhang Yaozuo's legitimate son Zhang Shanfu, who was also a veteran of the Four Dynasties.
All my life I have been following the rules and doing things respectfully.
In the end, the Privy Council accepted the decree.
However, when Zhang Shanfu became an official, the imperial court did not favor his descendants. Without Zhang Shanfu's salary, the Zhang family's life in Bianjing became increasingly difficult.
Later, Wen Yanbo still couldn't stand it anymore, and last year he told An Tao, the Privy Councilor of Tongzhi at the time, about this matter. An Tao took advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne to write a letter, and won a few places for Zhang Shanfu's descendants to be appointed as Enyin officers.
Is Wen Yanbo afraid that the Wen family will also be demolished and their bridges destroyed?
Of course I'm afraid!
Therefore, he needs some attitudinal protection.
Wen Yanbo, who was worried, saw Xiao Guanjia stand up and said with joy on his face: "It would be best if the Grand Master can make Wen Aiqing come forward!"
"I have long heard that among the Grand Master's disciples, Shi Wen Yiqing, who is the general secretary of the Grand Master, is considered to be the most virtuous, and I have long wanted to reuse him!"
"However, the Grand Master has a high moral character and has repeatedly declined my appointment."
"Now that the Grand Master has agreed to send Wenjun out of the mountain, I am really happy!"
"With Jun Wen's help, great things can be accomplished!"
Wen Yanbo listened to Zhao Xu and spoke out the names and positions of his two favorite sons fluently.
My heart suddenly became happy.
Regardless of what the future holds, the current attitude is already worth the fate of the Wen family.
So he bowed his hands and bowed: "Your Majesty loves the dog so much that I am so grateful that I will teach the dog to be attentive to the king's affairs and to run for your majesty."
Zhao Xu smiled, looked at Wen Yanbo, and asked, "Master, can you answer me now?"
"There are four defense stations in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Which one does the Grand Master like?"
Wen Yanbo did not hesitate and bowed directly: "Old minister, I only obey His Majesty's orders!"
"Good!" Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I am going to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow, so Wenjun can go with me."
"I will obey your will."
…
After sending Wen Yanbo away, Zhao Xu rubbed his hands and took the Yuan Shu paper that copied the text of the three dynasties' teachings in his hands.
"Xunniang." Zhao Xu looked at Wen Xunniang who had been standing by and ordered: "Come with me to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow."
Wen Xunniang immediately said, "No!"
"Prepare the things you are going to bring and pack them up. Just give them to Wen Jifu tomorrow and let him hand them over."
Wen Xunniang raised her head, her face flushed, her nose twitching: "Does the official know?"
Zhao Xu laughed: "If I can't even notice what the people around me are doing, how can I govern the world?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Xunniang's clothes.
She wears a plain and simple gown, uses only ordinary silk for her bra, and has no makeup on her small face.
He leaned over and sniffed.
This time the Liao envoy came to court and brought among the national gifts, thirty bottles of rose sesame oil, a specialty of the Liao country, and Zhao Xu gave Wen Xunniang one bottle.
However, Wen Xunniang did not smell the fragrance of rose sesame oil.
so……
The truth was already out - she had sold it.
As for who to sell to?
Is there any need to ask? It must be those people outside the palace.
The Song Dynasty was a feudal dynasty with a developed commodity economy.
This is not only reflected in the people, but also in the officialdom, and also in the palace.
As early as the founding of the Song Dynasty, a small market had been formed outside Donghua Gate for concubines, ministers, and female officials to sell and purchase goods.
You can buy anything in that small market as long as you have money.
Over time, this small market actually developed into a trading place like the Wanxing Trading Conference at Daxiangguo Temple in Bianjing City and super large markets such as Tushizi, Maxing Street, and Panlou Street.
Even in the Yuanfeng era, a stacking yard appeared directly here to serve as a commodity warehouse, and this stacking yard was opened under the personal order of Zhao Xu's father.
no way!
This stacking yard outside Donghuamen is really profitable.
However, Wen Xunniang was startled by Zhao Xu's sudden approach. She was like a thief caught in the act, and her face turned pale.
"The official family... the official family..."
"I am guilty."
Zhao Xu laughed loudly and said: "Xun Niang missed her mother, what crime did she commit?"
After taking Wen Xunniang back to Wen Mansion last time, Zhao Xu discovered that this little girl started to save money secretly.
Her salary and rewards were all saved by her.
Even the silks and silks given to her by the two palaces for making clothes were secretly hidden by her.
Obviously, she wanted to have the opportunity to take it back to her mother.
Wen Xunniang's biological mother, Zhao Xu met last time.
Although the dress is not bad.
But the skin on her face and the exposed calluses on her hands showed that she was not living well in the Wen family.
It can even be said to be bad!
Shi Deyi's detective department also reported the living conditions of Wen Xunniang's mother and son before she entered the palace, which people in the Wen family talked about.
Except for having a wing to live in, everything else is the same as a servant.
Mother and daughter depend on each other and are said to have a very good relationship.
Through some investigations, Zhao Xu found out why his mother and daughter were living in such bad circumstances.
Wen Zongdao's first wife was jealous.
Wen Zongdao himself was famous for being henpecked.
Originally, this was nothing. As long as Wen Zongdao abided by the rules and followed Shen Kuo's good example, maybe their married life would be very happy.
However, besides being henpecked, Wen Zongdao also liked to flirt with women.
This is the problem of Wen Zongdao.
You can't be henpecked and romantic at the same time.
A good pure love drama turned into a harem drama.
But the heroine is still a woman who has the same strong possessiveness as in the world of Saionji.
To be honest, Wen Zongdao did not become Brother Cheng. I really have to thank him for being born in the Song Dynasty and having a good father.
Naturally, the head wife who holds great power will try her best to treat and abuse the vixens and bastards brought back by Wen Zongdao.
That is to say, the feudal etiquette governs it, and she dare not go too far.
Otherwise, Wen Xunniang and her son would not survive at all!
Listening to Zhao Xu's gentle comfort, Wen Xunniang burst into tears, and the grievances and uneasiness in her heart surged out like a flood.
"Woooooooo..."
The little girl started sobbing.
"Don't cry!" Zhao Xu reached out, brushed away Wen Xunniang's hair, looked at her red eyes, touched her forehead, and then whispered: "I will protect Xunniang from now on!"
Listening to this, Wen Xunniang sobbed even more fiercely.
When Zhao Xu saw this, he had no other solution and could only sigh.
Little did he know that his move would fall in the eyes of the ministers and female officials inside and outside the palace, and these people would be moved.
no way!
It is basically impossible for the emperor, who is so high above, to empathize with the people below.
But now Zhao Xu has shown that he can empathize with others, can even bear to talk about his grievances and cry in front of him, and can comfort others.
What's this?
This is Jen!
At least that's how it is in the eyes of the lower class.
…
Wen Yanbo was carried back home on a shoulder cart by Wen Yiqing.
After entering the door, he was about to call Wen Jifu over and tell him something.
But he suddenly remembered something.
"Why did the officials also copy down the events in Beizhou?"
"And you only copied my deeds in Pingbeizhou back then?"
His intuition told him that this was not simple.
There must be a meaning in this, a hint - Xiao Guanjia has proved that he will not take aim without aim.
So, what is the connection between the Beizhou Wangze Rebellion and the current events?
Wen Yanbo suddenly had an enlightenment.
"Maitreya Cult!"
The Wangze Rebellion was launched in the name of Maitreya's coming to the world.
In recent years, the Song Dynasty has actually been troubled by folk obscenities and religious activities.
However, in the prefectures and counties of the Song Dynasty, wherever commerce flourished, there must be a big temple, and a big temple must have a warehouse.
The great monks use one hand to treasury and the other hand to annex.
Did officials in the past dynasties fear it or not?
Of course I'm afraid.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to maintain the shelter all the time.
Now the officials want to buy up the pawnshop, and the point pointed by the sword is the pledge storehouse.
Therefore, the official's intention is to make all possible efforts to weaken and suppress the stockpile after the purchase!
Thinking of this, Wen Yanbo felt that everything was explained.
"I see."
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Wen Yanbo thought of the first person the officials were looking for to pawn off the purchase.
Painted by Cao Yi, Xiang Zongliang, and Gao Gong.
This is my cousin Xunchen!
Then, I found him, a veteran of the four dynasties, a grand master, and an important military and state affairs official!
This is the scholar-bureaucrat!
Not only that, the official also showed him the hadiths and sermons excerpted from the Three Chaos Sermons.
At that time, he did not react and thought he was putting pressure or even coercion and inducement.
Thinking about it now, Wen Yanbo sighed for the rest of his life.
"Where is this for me to see?"
"It's for everyone in the world to see!"
"This is the ancestor of the Dharma who respects the heaven, and also uses the saint to succeed the saint, and introduces the saint to explain it!"
This is equivalent to handing the scholar-officials a knife and a sharp sword.
The knife that can suppress all the dissatisfaction and opposition of the great monks, and the sharp sword that can make them tremble!
Wen Yanbo is very familiar with this.
Isn't this the way that scholar-officials used to use the scriptures of saints to intimidate the emperor, relatives, and nobles?
Reversing the teachings of the sages!
"If we include military ministers..." Wen Yanbo murmured to himself: "Relatives, nobles, scholar-bureaucrats, military ministers, all are involved!"
"The entire Song Dynasty formed a joint force to encircle and suppress the Qiku!"
"Transfer the benefits of the treasury from the hands of monks to the hands of scholar-bureaucrats, military ministers, and nobles..."
Wen Yanbo felt that he understood.
This is a big game!
I'm afraid, it was already being planned during the late emperor's time.
Definitely!
Since Taizu, the Zhao Guan family of all dynasties has been envious of the great monks' benefit from the treasury, not just for a day or two.
But I could never find the place or opportunity to speak.
The late Emperor was naturally no exception.
Therefore, Wen Yanbo guessed that the late emperor must have been planning today's big game, and it had even taken shape.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, it was not implemented in time.
So the matter fell on the young master who inherited the late emperor's legacy and was also young and smart.
After observing keenly for more than a year, the young master finally decided to implement the late emperor's plan.
I just don’t know how much of these arrangements were the late emperor’s intentions, and how much were perfected by myself today.
However, Wen Yanbo knew that this would definitely happen!
Because once the scholar-bureaucrats, nobles, relatives, and military ministers form a joint force.
The quality bank of the great monks will quickly fall apart.
You may even be crushed before you have time to resist.
As for those officials and nobles who believe in and respect Buddhism, will they help the great monks?
Wen Yanbo himself believed in and respected Buddhism.
So he knew that most people would be the same as him.
"Monks, you should abide by the precepts of Qingdeng Ancient Buddha!"
"For a monk, all four elements are empty. How can he be contaminated by foreign objects and be polluted by the smell of copper?" Wen Yanbo clasped his hands together and praised: "Amitabha!"
"If Buddha knows this, he will also support me."
"I am cleaning the dust from the mountain gate for the Buddha and restoring peace to all the Buddha's monasteries!"
Yes!
This thing is full of the smell of copper. The Buddhist practice of the monks in the world is not profound enough, so I am afraid that no one can grasp it.
You still have to let me, a gentleman like this, who is full of sage scriptures and has practiced Zen for decades, come!
Saying this, Wen Yanbo became energetic.
Because he discovered that this matter was indeed what he thought.
Then his reputation and reputation in Shilin will not be damaged, but may even become more glorious.
Because he is doing something good for everyone!
Once the resistance of Bianjing City is completed.
All states and counties will definitely follow suit.
Everyone will participate in the wave of carving up the mass library.
Everyone will be satisfied.
Scholar-officials, nobles, military ministers, and relatives made money.
The Tianjia eliminates the risk of great monks using the money in the treasury and the power of religion to incite ignorant people to rebel.
What a win!
This is how a world where only the great monks were injured was achieved!
Thinking of this, Wen Yanbo immediately said to Wen Yiqing: "Go and call Wen Jifu quickly."
