Wang Zhen continued: "I will build a Taoist temple of the Quanzhen Sect in Luoyang for the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect to live. Once something happens to me in Shu, I will have to trouble Taoist Master Chunyangzi."
"That's a matter of duty."
Junyangzi answered without hesitation.
He didn't stay any longer, got up and left, leaving Wang Zhen and Cheng Yu behind.
After Chunyangzi left, Wang Zhen looked at Cheng Yu and the others and said: "My lords, although handing over 10% of the tax will not cause much turmoil to the Shu Kingdom, the entire territory of the Shu Kingdom is full of Quanzhen Sect, I'm afraid
It will also affect the fate of the country. What do you think of this?"
Cheng Yu also frowned.
The current situation is quite pessimistic.
After thinking about it, Cheng Yu said: "In the current situation, we have to do two things."
Wang Zhen said: "Mr. Zhongde, please speak."
Cheng Yu said: "First, mobilize intelligence personnel across the country to investigate the Jianghu sects in the Kingdom of Shu. In the Tang Dynasty, there is the Shaolin Temple; in our Kingdom of Shu, there is also the Quanzhen Sect. Are they just these two sects?
?”
"The veteran concluded that there will be more sects."
"Wherever there are people, there will be fights."
"The country is like this, and the sect is like this."
"The Shaolin Temple intervened in the Tang Dynasty, and the Quanzhen Sect intervened in our country of Shu. Therefore, I concluded that other sects will also actively intervene in the secular world to strive for benefits."
Cheng Yu said: "As long as there is profit motivation, there will naturally be people who challenge the Quanzhen Sect. Today, there is no one in the Shu Kingdom who can compete with it, but there are people in other places."
"With the help of other sects, we can counter the Quanzhen Sect."
"At least, the Quanzhen Sect is not the only one."
"That way, things will be easy."
Cheng Yu said: "When the time comes, our Shu Kingdom will secretly accumulate strength and one day we will counterattack."
Wang Zhen said: "What Mr. Zhong De said is very reasonable."
The rest of the people also expressed their agreement.
Cheng Yu continued: "The second thing is to wait for the Emperor to return to Luoyang. The Emperor is excellent in martial arts and he is more familiar with the situation. After the Emperor returns, we can discuss countermeasures."
Wang Zhen said: "Father will come back as soon as possible."
During the discussion among the people, their attitude towards the Quanzhen Religion was clearly explained, and then everyone left.
The Quanzhen Sect affairs were arranged immediately.
The Shu official did not publicize the matter in a big way, but arranged the matter layer by layer.
Time passes day by day.
In a blink of an eye, it’s June.
In June, the weather gradually becomes a little bit hotter, and the air is filled with a fiery breath.
Wang Can came back with everyone.
He had previously sneaked into the Tang Dynasty and worked within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Although many of Wang Can's actions had achieved their goals, the emergence of the sect caused many of Wang Can's plans to fail. Even the Tang Dynasty, which could be destroyed, could no longer target him.
.
Upon returning to Chang'an, Wang Can asked Chen Dao, Gan Ning and others to go to the army.
And he took Guo Jia and Zhang Liang and went straight into the palace.
Back in the palace, Wang Can called Wang Zhen, as well as officials from the cabinet and six ministries.
Everyone gathered in the palace.
On the way back, Wang Can already knew about the Quanzhen Sect. He didn't have any objections to Wang Zhen's response. If it were him, he could only do what Wang Zhen did.
Because in front of Quanzhen Religion, they have no right to speak.
Without strength, there is no right to speak.
Wang Can said: "You all know the current situation. What do you think about the sect's intervention in the secular world?"
Cheng Yu said: "Your Majesty, we believe that we currently do not have the power to fight back against the sects, so for the time being, we are mainly patient and try to find other sects that can use our strength to fight."
“That’s good advice!”
Wang Can nodded in reply and said: "On the way back from Nanyang County, I was thinking about the strategy to crack it. In the current situation, I am planning to break all the potential generals among the generals into parts, and then enter the sect to become a disciple.
Learning. We don’t lack wisdom and strategy, we don’t lack money and resources, but what we lack most is the teachings of famous teachers, and we lack great masters in martial arts.”
When Cheng Yu heard Wang Can's words, he suddenly became enlightened and said: "What the Emperor said is true. Why didn't you think of this before? We can completely disguise our identities and go to study under the teacher. By then we will have enough strength.
, when we return to China, we can naturally support the situation of Shu."
Cheng Yu didn't expect this.
The rest of the people also didn't expect it.
Everyone felt that Wang Can's suggestion was the best strategy at the moment.
Wang Can said: "Chun Yangzi from the Quanzhen Sect is here, but he has not seen me. Not many people in the country have seen me. Especially the Quanzhen Sect, the same is true."
"Now, I am only in my early twenties. If I join the sect, I can find ways to gain access to their classic secrets to enhance my strength."
"However, although Chunyangzi is here, no one knows where the Quanzhen Sect is for the time being."
"You have to know the address of Quanzhen Sect."
Wang Can looked at Wang Zhen and said: "Zhen'er, how to test Chunyangzi and find out the location of Chunyangzi's Quanzhen sect, that's what you have to do."
Wang Zhen said: "What should my son say?"
Cheng Yu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, actually this is not difficult. Just like the imperial court selects officials, the Quanzhen Sect will also select talented people to join the Quanzhen Sect."
"Veteran, I have just received news that the Shaolin Temple in the Tang Dynasty has begun to recruit disciples extensively."
"Chunyangzi has not made arrangements for this matter yet."
"We can tell Chunyangzi this news without asking the Quanzhen Sect to recruit disciples. As long as the Quanzhen Sect knows that Shaolin Temple is recruiting disciples, they will follow suit."
Cheng Yu said: "At that time, the Supreme Emperor and some of the talented people in the army can go and strive to be selected into the Quanzhen Sect. As long as our people enter the Quanzhen Sect and can slowly penetrate, in the end, Shu
The country’s strength will definitely become stronger and stronger.”
Wang Zhen said in surprise: "What Mr. Zhong De said is true."
Wang Can also agreed with Cheng Yu's suggestion and said with a smile: "What Mr. Zhong De said is good, so let's do it."
Wang Can went on to talk about other things.
After explaining each matter, Wang Can asked everyone to retreat, and he also left the hall, letting Wang Zhen summon Chunyangzi alone.
The chamberlain went to convey the order, but it didn't take long for Chunyangzi to arrive.
Chunyangzi is now in Luoyang, feeling proud of the spring breeze.
He has always been working in the mountain gate and has not been exposed to anything in the world. He is used to poverty. But now in the world, living a life of delicacies, he no longer wants to live in Shu.
Chunyangzi's face glowed red and he said with a smile: "The king of Shu summoned Pindao, what's the matter?"
Wang Zhen said: "Master Chunyangzi, I have just received the news from the spies from the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the Shaolin Temple is recruiting disciples and has begun to recruit disciples."
"In addition, there are people in Shaolin Temple who have sneaked into Shu Kingdom."
"These monks are preaching secretly."
"They are also recruiting disciples."
"The Shaolin Temple of the Tang Dynasty is hostile to our country of Shu. The Shaolin Temple has done such a thing. Do we, the Quanzhen Sect, want to stop the other party and prevent the Shaolin Temple from becoming too arrogant?"
Wang Can did not recruit disciples for Rang Chunyangzi.
This way the purpose will not be revealed.
Upon hearing this, Chunyangzi's expression suddenly became solemn, and his tone became stern, saying: "Shu Kingdom, is this really happening?"
Wang Zhen smiled and said: "It is impossible to hide such news. The Quanzhen Sect where Master Chunyangzi belongs is powerful enough to find out the news."
"Too!"
Junyangzi also nodded.
When it comes to such a major matter, he believes that Wang Zhen dare not talk nonsense.
Chunyangzi's expression became even more solemn. During this period of time in Luoyang, he was too proud and too relaxed to know any news from the outside world.
Quanzhen Sect is a Taoist sect!
Shaolin Temple is Buddhism!
Taoism and Buddhism are not mutually exclusive.
The two sides are antagonistic.
Under such circumstances, Chunyangzi must take any action taken by the Shaolin Temple into consideration.
But unfortunately, he was negligent.
Chunyangzi's mind changed and he immediately said: "King Shu, I have a request."
"What request?" Wang Zhen asked.
Chunyangzi replied: "Please ask the King of Shu to issue an edict to the entire Shu Kingdom. Our Quanzhen Sect wants to recruit disciples and disciples, but in all cases, people in the Shu Kingdom can participate. Even people from other countries can come.
Participate. As long as you agree with the conditions, you can come and participate."
Wang Zhen said: "Taoist Master, will such a large-scale recruitment of disciples be sabotaged? What if someone from the Shaolin Temple or other sects makes trouble?"
"Who dares?"
Chunyangzi raised his head and said: "King Shu, please rest assured, no one dares to cause trouble. Especially after Pindao returns to the Taoist temple, he will immediately arrange for someone to report the matter to the headmaster and ask him to arrange someone to come to Luoyang to escort him.
"
Wang Zhen said: "That's good, that's good."
At this moment, Wang Zhen felt relaxed. As long as Quanzhen Religion recruits disciples, this means that Wang Can and others can participate in the selection.
Chunyangzi looked at Wang Zhen with an expression of approval and said: "This time the news from the King of Shu was very timely. This time, the poor man owes the King of Shu a favor. If anyone needs help in the future, Shu
Just tell the king."
This time, Junyangzi did react slowly.
If he remains unresponsive, when Shaolin has recruited countless disciples and the news reaches the ears of the headmaster of the Quanzhen Sect, he will definitely be punished and will be considered unfavorable in his work.
Wang Zhen smiled and said: "Taoist master, you don't have to be like this. This is what I should do. Now the safety of Shu needs the protection of Quanzhen Sect."
Chunyangzi said: "You're welcome, poor Taoist, take your leave!"
Wang Zhen said: "Master Taoist, walk slowly!"
After Chunyangzi left, Wang Can came quickly. Wang Zhen told about the conversation with Chunyangzi and asked Wang Can to make preparations.
Wang Can didn't waste any more time and immediately went down to prepare.
He must negotiate with everyone under his command so that he can easily deal with the subsequent process of recruiting disciples of the Quanzhen Religion. (To be continued)
