Northern Dynasties

Chapter 146
In Zhixing City, Beihua Prefecture, a number of Hui sat in the hall and looked at Li Tai and complained: "Why didn't you tell me as soon as this happened? You may not be a villain, but your guest It’s not that you can’t trust your courage and strength, but I’m near the river, and it’s only a matter of one sentence, and the envoy will not miss the itinerary!”

Seeing how many Huizhen were getting angry, Li Tai couldn't sit comfortably at the table, got up and said, "If it's just a private matter, I will of course come to visit the envoy, please be careful. But the disturbance today is public affairs, and the envoy is the official The governor of the state, the situation is inevitably embarrassing. I think I can solve it, so I don't want to disturb the envoy."

He didn't doubt that Shuohui would stand up for him, but as the governor of Beihua Prefecture, if he blindly helped an outsider like himself, it would indeed make the state and county officials feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, you are no longer a hermit in the countryside. You have to give an explanation to your subordinates. If this matter is investigated by the state government, it may not give you a satisfactory result. The envoy Yang Shao of Fucheng County came to sue me. Knowing that the country man is actually a disciple of Chang Shan in Xi'an Prefecture. Although Chang Shan and I do not have a deep sense of fellowship, we still guard the frontier together, and we were taken care of by him when we were raiding Bu Luo Ji last year."

After hearing the words, several Hui also nodded, admitted that sometimes he couldn't help himself, and said: "Yang Shao has already imprisoned the criminal official in Luochuan County who colluded with the village evil, and I let him be judged and beheaded in the county. There will be no more disturbances in this environment, but how Chang Shan will react is still unpredictable."

"Whether it is inside or outside, they are all loyal to the country. Chang Shijun guards Beizhou, and it is not intentional to cover up crimes. Since these kinds of foxes pretend to be powerful and do evil in the village, since the law has been subdued, I will not entangle me based on it anymore .”

Li Tai added: "I will send a letter to Xi'an Prefecture later. It would be best if Mr. Chang Shi can tolerate for the sake of the country. But if he is ignorant of justice and harbors personal anger, I can only argue with reason.

Before his death, Lei said that he had a son who was serving under the command of the Chang Shijun, and threatened him with this. Of course, I believe that the Chang Shijun can distinguish right from wrong, but it is inevitable for a wise man to worry about occasional mistakes.

If I don't go into the details of the crime, I have left him room to judge the innocence of the whole party. If he is bewitched by the wicked again, he will really live up to the appointment of the court.Even for the sake of the minister's reputation, he must get rid of all evil affairs! "

"Are you willing to offend the veteran generals inside and outside the army? Although Daxingtai rewards your talents, if you just blindly be stubborn and don't get along well with the masses, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be alienated and disgusted."

Hearing Li Tai say that he was already exaggerating, several Hui couldn't help being amused.

He didn't doubt whether Li Tai had the guts to say and do this, after all, this kid dared to provoke Zhao Gui when he was only a descendant from Dongzhou.Although Chang Shan was also a general who founded the government, he was still much inferior to Zhao Gui, so he couldn't frighten this boy who was protected by Da Xingtai.

After pondering for a while, several Hui said again: "Forget it, you don't need to send any more letters to Chang Shan. Since the matter happened in our territory, I can't stay out of it, so I will explain it to him for you."

He didn't want to try Li Tai's ability to offend others again, so he decided to come forward to make peace.After all, his son is still living in this little village. If the conflicts are deep, Chang Shan will lead the people to come to the door to ask for accountability, and he will have to scare his son.

Now that he was planning to take matters into his own hands, several benefits said: "Although the evil of the village is not called a national defense fighter, he has also given a lot of help to the army. They are all dead, and you should stay for the soldiers of Xi'an Prefecture. .”

Li Tai was naturally a little unhappy after hearing the words. My goods have already been loaded into the car, so how can I stay?
But Shuohui was kind after all, and didn't want him to have too many grudges.

After thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "I know that the frontier army is in trouble, so naturally I will not be greedy for money. Needless to say about these trivial matters, in addition to telling the past, there is actually one more thing to visit today, which is It is necessary to increase the supply and use for the defense of the northern states and counties."

Hearing this, Shuohui's interest suddenly increased. He never doubted Li Tai's wisdom in making money and doing things, so he hurriedly approached and asked curiously, "What tricks do you have?"

"I would like to ask the envoy, when you attacked the Jihu tribe before, among the things seized, were there any Buddhist artifacts related to Master Liu?"

Li Tai asked again.

"That's not clear, let me ask first."

A few Hui shook his head after hearing the words, raised his hand and summoned his subordinates to make a brief inquiry, and ordered to go to the treasury to check the spoils of Jihu's battle.

When the subordinate officials were ordered to leave, some Huicai asked curiously again: "Why are you asking these questions? Could it be that the plan has something to do with Buddhist affairs?"

In front of Ji Hui, Li Tai had nothing to hide, so he briefly explained the massacre of the temple by his subordinate Mao Shijian and others.

"What kind of officials really are, there are what kind of subordinates! You dare to do this kind of thing. You all have little authority in the Water Yamen Office, but your courage is amazing."

Hearing this, Shuohui's eyes widened immediately. He was considered a Samana believer, as evidenced by the fact that he named his son Bodhidharma.In fact, the Wu people in Beizhen more or less believed in some Buddhist teachings. Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, still lives in the temple.

However, this kind of belief is not pious. It is either influenced by the living environment and atmosphere, or it is out of a utilitarian and peace of mind.If everyone is a devout Buddhist, I'm afraid they are still herding sheep and chanting scriptures in Wuchuan.

Li Tai only thought that a few benefits were praising them, and after hearing the words, he just laughed dryly: "There are truths in the Dharma, and there are good and evil in the Buddha. If you worship them all without careful consideration, you will lose your sincerity in serving the Dharma and serving the Buddha. Believe it, lose yourself, and destroy the foundation of Buddhism. This kind of superstitious believer in Buddhism is useless to the world and to the Dharma!"

"You have never believed in Buddhism, so you can distinguish the truth from the evil?"

Naturally, Shuohui wouldn't be easily persuaded, so he snorted coldly after hearing the words.

"As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with the bystanders and the bystanders are clear. It is because of my innocence that I am not involved in it that I can maintain a clear understanding of the truth!"

When Li Tai talked about fallacies, he came from one set of rules. At this moment, the state government official who went to take inventory also returned, followed by two people, carrying a huge cage, which contained many scriptures. The scrolls and Buddha statues are somewhat similar to the Buddha statue of Master Liu that Li Tai saw in Pushan Temple. It can be seen that the image of this eminent monk who has passed away for many years is relatively unified in the hearts of believers.

Seeing that there were indeed many Buddhist relics related to Master Liu in Jihu's spoils, Li Tai became more determined, pointing to the Buddhist artifacts in the cage, and said: "The so-called revenge for killing the father is irresistible! The accumulated hatred is more than two or three.

Jihu worships Liu Shifo because of his genus. If Liu Shifo has the true Dharma, why can't he teach kindness to his kind?The elders in Kansai sacrificed their homes to pay homage to the Buddha, but those monks ignored the blood feud of the clan and enshrined this evil Buddha in the hall. Even if the heavens cannot wear it together, the evil Buddha can be worshiped like this! "

Hearing what Li Tai said, Shuohui also grasped his train of thought, and said again: "You mean, Master Liu is enshrined in the Buddhist temple that was slaughtered earlier?"

Li Tai nodded after hearing the words: "The scriptures of Buddhism may be able to cleanse evil. Although I am not a monk, I dare not look down on great virtuous and eminent monks. Master Liu may be transcendent and benevolent, but it must not be used to erase the heinous crimes of his race!
It may be difficult for ordinary people to discern the profound meaning of Buddhism, but are those monks ignorant?They even confuse the elders in Kansai, tempting people to make fun of Hu Qun and worship the same Buddha. This is a heinous crime and deserves to be severely punished! "

"That's the truth!"

Hearing these words, several Hui couldn't help but nodded in agreement.It is true that he believes in Buddhism, but if it is said that he has so much respect for Master Liu, he really does not have it.Even after learning that he was born in Jihu, he couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart.

Jihu has disturbed Kansai for many years, and there are not many people who have suffered directly from it.Believers may not know about Master Liu, but they are willing to pay homage to him out of their belief in Buddhism.Also out of disgust for Jihu, he will turn hostile towards Liu Shifo.

Li Tai is naturally unable to provoke the entire Buddhist sect right now, but those monks, can they represent the entire Buddhist sect?Putting the Jihu idol in the Buddhist hall in a grand manner, isn't this a provocation to the sentiment of the masses?
"If that's the case, then your troops don't mean to kill indiscriminately. Those monks really deserved to die!"

A few Hui first sighed, and then asked: "You said in the beginning that you want to increase the supply and create benefits for the frontier garrison, and that's what it is?"

Only then did Li Tai take out the account book confiscated by Mao Shijian in the temple, and said to Ji Hui: "I have ordered my subordinates to confiscate the floating goods stored in the temple. However, there are still a large number of people in the manor owned by the temple. Pushan Temple Confusing the public and destroying the law is a crime that deserves it, and it is only natural to confiscate all the characters in the government."

Naturally, he didn't intend to spit out what he ate.But he couldn't afford to eat other monastery savings.After all, it was in someone else's territory, if he seized and transported it away recklessly, it would be too embarrassing for the magistrate.

"One temple is like this. I'm afraid it's not an isolated case. So I also plan to return to Taiwan to sue Daxingtai and strictly investigate the temples in Kansai. If there are still evils like this, they must be strictly eliminated!"

Li Tai said sternly again, of course it is impossible for this so-called strict investigation to invite the Buddha statue into trouble, and there must be an economic account behind it.

The reason why the monks are difficult to deal with is that the superstitious coercion of public opinion is the key. The current state of the Western Wei regime is obviously not suitable for large-scale extermination of Buddhism, otherwise it will cause group turmoil and even the collapse of the rule in minutes.But if you can use this to win over public opinion, it is also a basic operation to make a big deal.

Hearing this, Shuohui immediately pointed at Li Tai and laughed, "No wonder Daxingtai treats you so well, even if you don't even have some good faith. This talent is really enviable!
You also don't want to stay outside, return to Taiwan quickly to play a role, I will send disciples here to visit the temples in the territory carefully, and do it immediately after the order of Daxingtai is issued! "

After Li Tai heard the words, he was happy again. If this matter alone can be done, Yu Wentai will be willing to help him wipe his ass a few times. Do you want to find a time to try to offend some big bosses in Beizhen?If he ruined his fellow villagers, I'm the only loyal minister of the Overlord's Mansion!
