Wang Can only paid a little attention to the affairs of various temples and left them alone. Although Puji, Xuanzhao and others said that they submitted to him and worked for him, in fact, Wang Can did not need these people to do anything.
It is enough if each temple can do something beneficial to the people.
This is Wang Can’s starting point.
Wang Can did not go out of the house and was still reading at home. However, when Wang Can was reading, Yuan Tiangang came. Yuan Tiangang entered the study, saw Wang Can, sat down and said: "Young Master Wang."
Wang Can said: "Mr. Yuan, what can I do for you?"
After a pause, Wang Can continued: "Speaking of which, Mr. Yuan has been staying at my house during this period. I have no objection to Mr. Yuan staying at my house. It's just that you have been staying at the house and haven't gone to order Mao.
Doing things. Doesn’t it mean that there is no need for Mr. Yuan to take charge of specific matters in the Qintian Prison?"
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard under his chin and said seriously: "Master Wang, there is really no need for me to intervene in the matters in Qintian Prison, because the people below are responsible for specific things. As for other things, they are also responsible for it.
It’s not a big deal. So, I don’t need to go. All I have to do is observe the stars every day and see clearly the trends in the sky. That’s enough.”
Wang Can said: "This matter, Mr. Yuan, is quite easy."
Yuan Tiangang smiled and returned to the topic, saying: "The reason why I came to see Mr. Wang is because there are rumors about the relationship between Mr. Wang and Buddhism."
Wang Can said: "Does the matter between me and Buddhism have any impact?"
Yuan Tiangang said: "It doesn't have any impact. It's just that I heard news from outside that people from the Buddhist sect said that they submitted to the prince and worked for the prince. In addition, these Buddhist sects no longer hoard money, land, etc.
Rather, it is taken from the people and used by the people. All the merit money received will be used to relieve the people and help people in need. In addition, the land will also be given to the people for farming. Such news is really too shocking.
Therefore, I came to seek confirmation from Mr. Wang."
Wang Can said: "This is indeed the case. Puji and Xuanyuan said they would submit to me. They must have convinced all the Buddhist people now, so many Buddhist temples have made such arrangements together."
When Yuan Tiangang heard this, his expression became more solemn.
That's really the case.
Buddhism has really lost face, and really doesn't care about anything.
So shameless.
Yuan Tiangang cursed in his heart.
Yuan Tiangang's mind turned and he said: "Master Wang, these bald donkey monks in Buddhism are extremely hypocritical and even scheming. Now they are doing things in your name. You should be careful and don't be taken advantage of by them.
"
Wang Can said: "I understand."
Yuan Tiangang didn't interfere too much with Wang Can's thoughts. He just said a few words, said no more, and left. Wang Can looked at Yuan Tiangang's leaving back, smiled and didn't care what Yuan Tiangang thought.
.
Yuan Tiangang is a member of the Taoist sect.
People from the Taoist sect should be extremely happy when something happened to the Buddhist sect that was suppressed before. But now, Puji, Xuanzhao and others have all changed. They have changed their previous attitude. Such a change, the Taoist sect feels that there is something wrong.
threatened.
This is the reason why Yuan Tiangang came.
Yuan Tiangang returned to his yard. In his yard, there were three people wearing Taoist robes.
One of them was Li Chunfeng.
This is Yuan Tiangang's disciple.
In addition, there are two people from the Taoist sect, one named Qingyunzi and the other named Changfeng Taoist. They are both Taoist names, and both of them are people from the mountains.
Li Chunfeng sat aside and said nothing.
Qingyunzi and Taoist Changfeng had a look of eagerness on their faces. Qingyunzi said: "Brother Daoist Yuan, what did Mr. Wang say?"
Yuan Tiangang sat down and said: "Master Wang made it very clear that Puji and Xuanzhao did lead all Buddhists to return Wang Can and believe that Wang Can was the reincarnation of Buddha. The relationship between Buddhism and Prince Wang has been finalized.
.Now this Buddhism has reversed the situation in one fell swoop. In fact, it was only because of the relationship with the prince that we had such an opportunity."
Li Chunfeng nodded and said: "Master's words are reasonable, but now that the Buddhist sect has this relationship with Prince Wang, it is not good for our Taoist sect."
Yuan Tiangang said: "Taoism has always been quiet and inactive, and Buddhism is strong. That is their business. Whatever arrangements Buddhism has, that is also their own business. We don't need to care about it. We only need to do our own thing."
Qingyunzi said: "Brother Yuan Dao, what you said is a bit wrong. Let me tell you, Buddhism has been suppressed, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, and we cannot miss it. Nearby, Buddhism is about to resurgence, and we should suppress it.
They suppressed Buddhism."
Taoist Changfeng said: "Pin Tao also holds this view, so Taoist brother Qingyunzi and I came out."
Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice: "Qingyunzi, Taoist brother Changfeng, I have to remind you. Why are Puji, Xuanzhao and their many temples suppressed by the court? That is because they are hoarding money, so the prince can't see it."
In the past, I went directly to the palace to see His Majesty. Finally, the imperial court ordered the suppression of Buddhism."
"After Buddhism was suppressed, Puji, Xuanzhao and others first turned to the Supreme Emperor for help, but the Supreme Emperor refused. Soon, everyone turned to Prince Wang for help, but he also refused."
"Puji, Xuanzhao and others took desperate risks."
"We joined forces and went directly to the house to assassinate the prince. In the end, he was seriously injured. Puji and Xuanzhao are extremely powerful in their skills and strength. You all know this."
Yuan Tiangang talked eloquently and said: "But the two of them were beaten miserably and were seriously injured."
"Later, the two of them surrendered to the prince."
"Moreover, the two of them have recovered from their injuries. How they recovered is unknown. What is certain is that their injuries were able to completely recover in a short period of time, which should be closely related to the prince."
"And the prince's own strength is unfathomable."
"If you two have any ideas, or want to take advantage of Prince Wang, I advise you to stop thinking and it's best not to act rashly."
Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, you will be the ones who suffer in the end. If the entire Taoist sect is affected because of the two of you, then you two will be the scourge of the Taoist sect. If you want to harm other people, I don't care.
No. But if you want to harm the entire Taoist sect and cause the entire Taoist sect to be implicated, then that won’t work.”
When he said this, Yuan Tiangang's tone gradually became harsh.
His face became more serious.
Yuan Tiangang has always been quiet and inactive. He does not interfere with the government affairs of the court or the struggles within the court. He only does his own thing. Even his mentality is free of desires and demands.
At present, Yuan Tiangang is rarely harsh in his words.
Qingyunzi said with a smile: "Brother Yuan Dao, don't worry, we have no idea of dealing with Wang Can. Wang Can is extremely powerful and influential. Our Taoist sect is not enough to deal with Wang Can."
"Yep!"
Taoist Changfeng also immediately agreed.
Taoist Changfeng said: "Brother Yuan Dao, what we have to do is actually very simple. Taoist brother Qingyunzi and I came out because Buddhism makes adjustments when it encounters crises, which not only turns the crisis around, but also makes Buddhism's influence further.
So when we come out, we also want to seek changes in Taoism."
Yuan Tiangang said: "How are you going to seek change?"
Changfeng Taoist said: "Our plan is that people in our Taoist sect cannot always hide in the deep mountains and old forests and practice hard. Keep practicing hard and seek the opportunity to become immortal. It is simply empty and elusive. It can be encountered but cannot be sought. Especially since ancient times.
, although there are influential people such as the Celestial Master of our Taoist sect, in fact, there are almost very few people who have truly pursued the Tao. Therefore, our idea is to change the previous situation of ascetic cultivation and become an official.
.”
Yuan Tiangang said solemnly: "It is not easy to become an official. The intrigues in the officialdom are a test of people's hearts. Taoist monks who have been practicing hard in the mountains enter the officialdom, and they are afraid that they will be devoured even to the bones.
Won’t come down.”
Changfeng Taoist said: "Brother Yuan Dao is overly worried. What we want to do is to become an official, but in fact, we do not get involved in the officialdom. What we want to do is to hope that in various county offices and other places, the imperial court can also establish something similar to that of the imperial court."
A department of the Sky Monitor. All we are responsible for is observing the sky."
"impossible!"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said: "It is impossible for the imperial court to spend such a huge amount, because for such a department, the Qintian Supervisor is enough. Any more would be a waste of resources, and it is purely done to accommodate people from the Taoist sect.
.At this point, it is impossible, the court cannot arrange it. Even if the prince is persuaded, it is impossible to succeed."
After a pause, Yuan Tiangang said: "Brother Changfeng Taoist, Taoist brother Qingyunzi, if you want to prosper the Taoist sect, it does not depend on what you do, but on changing your ideas one by one, no longer hiding in the mountains, but choosing to join the world.
That’s the most important thing.”
Taoist Changfeng sighed when he heard this.
Pity.
Qingyunzi said: "Brother Yuan Dao, you also know that people in our Taoist sect make alchemy and practice one by one, and practice in seclusion in the mountains. How can we enter the world at will?"
Yuan Tiangang said: "Since Taoism has its own rhythm now, why bother to change anything? Buddhism has its own way, and our Taoism also has its own way. There is no need to compare with them. To be honest, if it weren't for the two of you, we wouldn't be able to do anything.
I would not have gone to see Mr. Wang before. I still say what I said, Tao follows nature, and let everything take its course."
Taoist Changfeng heard this and sighed.
Qingyunzi said: "Brother Yuan Dao, can we really just watch the Taoist sect prosper again?"
Yuan Tiangang said: "The ebb and flow, the rise and fall, have their own destiny. It is meaningless for us to interfere. For now, we should just follow our own path and let nature take its course."
"That's it, that's it!"
Seeing that Yuan Tiangang disagreed, Taoist Changfeng had no choice but to give up.
Qingyunzi also sighed and said no more. (To be continued)
