Chapter 2156 Still have to shovel out the injustice, and wipe out the destination of the unrighteous
When Lu Zhishen walked out of the back door of Pufa Temple, he saw that Wu Song was still wearing the yellow and golden bounds in his disheveled hair, a soap-colored robe, and a colorful tutu covered with a mandarin coat around his body. He was carrying a pair of Dao, holding his arms and leaning against a locust tree, saw Lu Zhishen swinging his arms and walking out of the temple gate. Wu Song, who usually had a look of awe and majesty on his eyebrows, couldn't help but smile: "Brother, just go, which way?" Can you stop him? Why bother with him? After we go to see His Majesty, we should set off."
Although Wu Song, who was crowned the Patriarch of Zhaowu Qingzhong, also had a temple to live in, he was very quiet except for drinking with his brothers. He never liked people who had nothing to do with him. Compared with Lu Zhishen, who was the abbot. Here at Pufa Temple, the temple where Wu Song lives is well-equipped, but it is not large in scale. Apart from travelers who pick up and clean the temple, there are no other devotees who come to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Therefore, Wu Song spent his whole day just practicing martial arts and looking for friends to eat wine and meat. But every day he would sit in the nunnery in front of the ancient Buddha with a green lantern and think about it for an hour or so. He seemed to be meditating on Buddhism and looking back to reflect on his life. All kinds of experiences. However, only he knows what Wu Song is thinking about when he meditates every day...
After hearing this, Lu Zhishen couldn't help but let out a long breath: "Erlang is quite at ease. The monks, mother-in-law and mother-in-law in the temple are very noisy all day long. I prefer the monks in my own temple who are sincere to the Buddha, and they are not as good as those who do many unjust things." Birds are so resourceful that they can be purified after just hitting them with a Zen stick. If they are still living in the Daming Mansion, the Sa family would like to change with Erlang. You come to this Pufa Temple to be the host, and I will go to your temple to clean up. ...Don't say that Erlang, you are just a tutu who leads the practice. How can you look like the abbot of a great Buddhist temple? Now that we have made up our mind to say goodbye to my brother, we still have a lot to say. If these My brother is not very busy with official business these days. We have been living in the palace again for the past two days, but we may not be able to leave Daming Mansion just like that."...
Let's talk about Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, who each held a water-milling Zen staff and a snowflake iron knife and entered the imperial city. It was common for the soldiers of the Suwei Banzhi. At the beginning, Lu Zhishen and Wu Songshang were not monks and tutu. They were the same as Xiao Tang. The three of them had already become sworn friends once they got together. The mutual loyalty was even more profound. The three of them got together again, and they wanted to have a drink. However, they saw the Phoenix Pavilion, the Dragon Tower, the jade-stepped chariot, and Xiao Tang leaning on the golden cloud carvings. The dragon-patterned throne, with Lu Zhishen and Wu Song sitting on the ground on the jade steps with futons under their butts. Surprisingly, in this gilded relief, it represents the supreme dignity of the emperor, and is usually used in the palace where the emperor listens to politics and ministers attend court. With fists and sleeves in his hands, he started eating and drinking...
Xiao Tang can probably understand Lu Zhishen and Wu Song's intention to temporarily give up everything they have received and plan to travel around the world again. Lu Zhishen and Wu Song now regard fame very lightly, and they already have some feelings about life. Suddenly enlightened, the old man who can live up to his ambitions is still aiming for a thousand miles. With Lu Zhishen and Wu Song's character, it is impossible to recite sutras and recite Buddha with six pure roots. The heroic and bloody spirit of pleasure and hatred engraved in the bones has not faded. They want to The answer may still have to be found in the world.
When the brothers met, the three bowls of wine were smashed together. Xiao Tang drank it all in one gulp and said to Wu Song with a smile: "I heard that my brother gave a lot of the gold he received to Shi En's widow Jia Xiao.
I send people to give alms, and now I have to travel around the world, is the expense enough?"
Seeing this, Wu Song smiled heartily and replied: "Since I am a monk practicing Buddhism, I am single and have no family, so why do I need so much money? My brother and I walk around in the rivers and lakes, and we usually have enough wine and meat.
During the battle in Yanggu, brother Shi En risked his life to protect me from the sword. Even my brother also used gifts to support his children. This is what I have to do.
My elder brother was also given a high honor by His Majesty, and the imperial court commended him for his uprightness and integrity during his tenure. He was transferred to the Xiansi Division on the East and West Road in Beijing, where he performed important duties such as serving as a minister to the criminal and prison officials. He was also harmonious and affectionate with his sister-in-law, and he has served me well.
The Wu family is flourishing, so there is no need for me to worry about it."
Lu Zhishen drank heavily and drank up all the wine in the bowl. Then he laughed and said: "When the Sa family made a big fuss in Mount Wutai and disturbed the clean place, Elder Zhizhen had to teach me to go to Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo to join his junior brother Zen Master Zhiqing. On the way there was another
There was no expense involved, and all the way down the Taohua Mountain, Liu Taigong was in charge of him, and he also captured and beat the Zhou Tong brothers in the gold sales tent. They were so frightened that they slaughtered oxen, horses, sheep, and pigs for a farewell banquet. They ate for two days.
Okay, so what’s the big deal if you go all the way to Bianliang to stay overnight and beg for food?
Now two or three years are enough to travel with the Wu Song brothers with this expense. Not to mention that my brother has promised to send edicts to manage the various post stations, and there are many brothers who have gathered together to take charge of the family business in their hometown, which is a good life.
Prosperous, with confidants in the sea, how can the food and clothing of the Sa family and Erlang be short-changed? Zhemo doesn't have to do what we did when we gathered at Erlong Mountain, but we heard that there were evil households that oppressed good people, and that
When you are cutting off the vicious bandits who are killing the people, just go and clean up the activities of those guys who took all the money and food."
And Lu Zhishen's words hit the point. Xiao Tang secretly said that he had worked hard to govern and spared no effort to administer benevolent policies to the people. Now, although everywhere under the rule of the Qi Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous, it can never be said that it is open every night.
Don't pick up things on the road, everyone is gentle, respectful and thrifty, honest and honest... Even if the social environment is clean and clear, there is no guarantee that some people will still do evil... Xiao Tangxin said that the current security of the motherland where he lives in future generations is definitely worthy of praise
, but it is inevitable that there will be vicious criminal cases and cases of bullies who dominate and oppress the people. Although the flaws are not hidden, individual cases cannot be eliminated.
However, just like the trajectory in the original work, it should be that Lu Zhishen went to the Crock Temple, and then joined forces with Shi Jin to kill Cui Daocheng. Qiu Xiaoyi's pair of evil monks must also be Wu Song who went to Centipede Ridge at night to test the knife and beheaded the deceased.
The whole family was saved, and the head of Taoist King Taoist Flying Centipede, whose daughter was raped, was taken away... Although this was an injustice and a duty to eradicate evil, it was indeed a forbidden act to use force.
After all, the water in Liangshan was a special phenomenon formed in a specific environment. The reason why people became thieves was because the court was ignorant, the taxes were heavy, the officials were promiscuous, and there was no food and clothing. Therefore, thieves all over the world have sprung up. It has never been a problem to force them to Liangshan.
It only refers to the experience of a certain person, but to the overall social situation in the late Song Dynasty. However, now that the Qi Dynasty is in power, if Lu Zhishen and Wu Song are walking around in the rivers and lakes again, they really encounter the thieves and bullies who are doing harm to the people.
If an individual abuses an official, what will they do based on their temperament?
If later generations of retired special forces kill a certain criminal gang for no reason, or even execute some corrupt officials without going through the judicial process, although the situation is pitiable, the crime is unforgivable. It is a no-brainer that they must still be punished according to the law.
Convicted. However, today is still the period of imperial autocracy. There are feudal patriarchal laws, equal emphasis on rites and punishments, and the original situation of law enforcement, etc. The most important judicial concepts in ancient China. At least Xiao Tang has not done anything like amnesty and released a lot of people.
Regarding the matter of death row prisoners, it is not yet an era in which future generations must emphasize the protection of civil rights and the protection of democracy as the basis for laws and regulations.
In other words, Xiao Tang, the emperor who belonged to the "feudal ruling class", had already thought about what kind of "privileges" he would give to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, two brothers who were always willing to fight against injustice and had a fiery temperament.
