Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 360 Monks are not allowed to taint people’s innocence anymore

"It turns out that the mage is looking for me so hard!"

Guo An's face was full of guilt.

But the face of Master Daoyan opposite him turned dark.

He could tell that Guo An was teasing him deliberately.

"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor! The monk did not expect that Guo Changshi was so favored and trusted by His Highness King Yan. When His Highness King Yan left Beiping Mansion, he would be so dissolute..."

"The mage misunderstood!"

Guo An explained with a smile still on his face, "His Royal Highness King Yan favors me because of my ability to help His Highness King Yan manage Beiping Mansion and bring wealth to King Yan Mansion.

Therefore, when His Highness King Yan leaves Beiping Mansion, I need to work diligently to show His Highness the workshops, medical halls, farms, and housing construction teams in Beicheng! "

"We eat breakfast early every day, and then we sit in a carriage and inspect Beiping Mansion while eating. We are not allowed to rest for a moment, but we are much more tired than when His Highness was there!"

Master Dao Yan’s eyes twitched.

"Amitabha!"

However, he was a Confucian monk who was profound in Buddhism, and he quickly calmed down.

"Guo Changshi doesn't need to anger the monk like this!"

"What does the mage mean by this?"

Guo An looked innocent, but deep in his eyes, there was a flash of disappointment.

Monk Dao Yan said slowly: "If Monk is not wrong, Guo Changshi has been deliberately avoiding Monk these past few days!"

Guo An said helplessly: "How come Master has such a kind face but always maliciously speculates on people's hearts?"

Monk Dao Yan's expression remained unchanged and he continued: "The monk has been watching Guo Changshi in the academy for three years, and finally saw through Guo Changshi's plan!"

"Ok?"

Guo An was stunned again, and then asked with concern on his face: "Why is the Master talking nonsense today? Downstairs are a group of doctors with the most superb medical skills in Beiping Prefecture. Can you go down and make a diagnosis?"

Heaven and earth conscience.

In the past few years, he has been working hard to develop Beiping Mansion, make money for Prince Yan's Mansion, and also make some money for his Guo Mansion.

Then, find a way out for Prince Yan's Mansion.

Why is it that in the eyes of Monk Daoyan, an ambitious monk, he is always planning something?
"Amitabha!"

Master Daoyan smiled faintly and said to himself: "Why should Guo Changshi be so cautious? The monk has always believed that His Highness King Yan is the one destined by fate.

And the monk has been thinking of ways to help His Highness King Yan..."

"It's just that now it seems that the monk is far inferior to Guo Changshi!"

"Guo Changshi was the first to improve the steel-making method, so that the iron mine owned by His Highness King Yan can produce more steel for His Highness King Yan every year!"

"Next, I will help His Highness Prince Yan win over the people... develop Beiping Mansion... Prince Yan Mansion is getting richer and richer, and the Yanshan Guards also have two more guards.

All the Yanshan guards are becoming more and more loyal to His Highness..."

"The Yan Kingdom of Goryeo is completely controlled by Prince Yan's Palace. You can have as many armies as you want...

There is also a silver mountain in Japan..."

"As for the gentry and merchants in Beiping Mansion, an academy tied them to His Highness Prince Yan...

Merchants across the country can also be controlled by Zhangjiawan Wharf..."

"Even the Ming Dynasty's military-honored generals... His Majesty summoned more than 100 military officials in the capital, but even the most commanders were only rewarded with [-] taels of silver and [-] ingots of banknotes.

But His Majesty, King Yan, saved so many generals and officials from His Majesty's hands.

These generals and officials must be more grateful than the capital..."

"Also, the monk doesn't know how much money Guo Changshi has made for His Highness King Yan over the years.

However, according to the monk’s understanding of His Majesty the King of Yan, the annual tribute silver from the Yan Palace to His Majesty and the money spent on the people of Beiping Mansion are simply not enough..."

"enough!"

Guo An snorted coldly, "Since the Master has escaped into Buddhism, he needs to have his six roots pure and all five aggregates empty!
How come the whole day is just about catching other people and getting to the bottom of it! "

"Amitabha!"

Monk Dao Yan looked at Guo An, with a smile flashing in his eyes. He was a little proud of being able to irritate Guo An.

"Guo Changshi, the monk has had great ambitions since he was a child, and wants to save the poor people in the world.

However, I discovered that even though my father worked diligently every day to practice medicine and save people, he could only save a thousand people in his lifetime.

The monk was unwilling to accept it, so he believed in Buddhism and became a monk. However, monks were even worse than doctors.

A few years later, the monk became a disciple of Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen and learned the art of yin and yang.

The monk discovered that only by assisting the real dragon can he break through the dark mountain pressing on those poor people and truly save thousands of people in the world.

However, now everyone in the world values ​​Confucianism. Even today’s saints, although they are well aware of the suffering of the people in the world, still value Confucianism!

The monk then went to study Confucianism again, and he visited many great Confucians. Some were despised, and some were kicked out directly. Of course, there were also some who sat and discussed Taoism..."

"Finally, the monk waited until His Majesty ordered the monks who were proficient in Confucianism to take the examination at the Ministry of Rites. The monk felt that he could finally use his talents.

However, I didn’t expect that although a monk is just a monk after all, he can only seek a monk’s position in front of His Majesty, but he is not allowed to be an official, let alone give advice and suggestions to His Majesty... Fortunately, with the blessing of the Buddha, the monk met His Highness..."

After listening to Monk Daoyan's self-report, Guo An couldn't help but admire him!

"Master is really a genius. If you study medicine, you can learn it well!
You can master it by studying Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, yin-yang calculations, and Confucianism.

It's a pity that the mage is actually a villain!
If you had been studying Confucianism under a great Confucian sect since you were a child, I am afraid that you would have been on the gold medal list in the palace examination, and you would have been in charge of a country, governing a city according to your own wishes, and realizing the revenge in your heart..."

"Villain schoolmaster?"

Monk Dao Yan chuckled lightly and said: "Guo Changshi is indeed a wonderful person, he always comes up with such new and wonderful words.

However, the monk did not dare to have any confidence in his career in the imperial examination. "

"Even if you are a lucky monk, get a spot on the gold medal list, or even get the top prize in high school, you may not be able to become a county magistrate."

"Even if you become a county magistrate, those states and counties are not firmly controlled by the gentry and can only become their puppets..."

As he spoke, Monk Dao Yan couldn't help but look at Guo An with envy, "Not everyone in the world is as lucky as Guo Changshi, but in the eyes of His Highness King Yan, he allowed Guo Changshi to govern Wanping County at will. , or even govern the entire Beiping Mansion!"

Guo An suddenly said in a cold voice: "So, you, a monk, just stay in front of His Highness all day long and encourage His Highness to rebel?"

Monk Dao Yan was shocked and said quickly: "Guo Changshi misunderstood, the monk never incited His Highness to rebel.

The monk is assisting His Highness to save the people of the world, not to make the world miserable! "

Guo An was startled. He was actually affected by the inertial thinking of later generations.

Monk Dao Yan is an ambitious monk, but he is not a stupid monk. How could he do something like hitting an egg with a stone?
"Then the mage asked again and again, and even said those treacherous words, why?"

Monk Daoyan said slowly: "Amitabha! The monk has calculated that His Royal Highness King Yan is the real dragon. As for the one in the capital, even if he reluctantly ascends the throne, he will not be able to sit for long, so he wants to invite His Highness..."

"Why do you think that His Highness King Yan is the real dragon?"

Guo An looked directly at Master Dao Yan coldly, making Monk Dao Yan stunned.

Without waiting for Monk Dao Yan to explain, Guo An pointed below to the crowd of people who came to see a doctor with their parents, wives and children, and asked: "Master, I wonder if you have personally seen the living conditions of these people in Beiping Prefecture?
In Beiping Prefecture, after a year of hard work, in addition to paying taxes to the imperial court, the family still had enough food for a year.

In addition, if they are more diligent, they can still make dozens of dollars just by selling the peppers they grow and working for the Yanwang Mansion workshop.

With this money, they can use it to buy meat, clothing and cloth, send their children to school, or come to the medical school for medical treatment. They have gained something from their hard work, and they are full of hope..."

Monk Dao Yan was silent, he knew what Guo An meant.

However, when he thought of the miserable conditions of the people he saw during his studies in the early years, he quickly said: "Guo Changshi, under the rule of His Highness Prince Yan of Beiping Prefecture, it has become a paradise on earth, but the entire There are thousands of states and counties in the Ming Dynasty that need the rescue of Guo Changshi and His Highness King Yan!"

Guo Andao: "But according to Master Daoyan's wishes, the prosperous living conditions of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Beiping Mansion were directly broken, and their families were even destroyed.

Even more than half of the people of the Ming Dynasty will face the tragic situation of family destruction and death! "

Dao Yan said: "Monk naturally knows about this matter and is extremely unwilling to face it.

Therefore, the monk has always suggested that His Highness King Yan should compete for that position. Only he is the most suitable. "

"This time, Guo Changshi did not suggest that His Highness King Yan should take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the other two younger Highnesses to the capital to express their loyalty to His Majesty and reassure His Majesty of King Yan!"

Guo An couldn't help but snorted coldly, with disdain on his face: "How can you, a monk who has evil intentions all day long, know our true intention of suggesting that King Yan bring the three young highnesses to the capital?"

Monk Dao Yan was startled, and suddenly his face was full of curiosity: "I wonder what Guo Changshi's intention was in suggesting this move to His Highness King Yan?"

Guo An stared at Master Daoyan with a solemn look on his face: "Master, everything is determined. Don't force anything. What is yours is yours after all, and it is not yours. Don't force it.

Nowadays, Beiping Mansion is prosperous and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. Is this so bad? "

"The monk is very impressed by Guo Changshi's ability!"

Master Daoyan looked sincere.

Guo An asked loudly: "Then why do you still want some extravagant changes?"

At this moment, Guo An finally realized that Yao Guangxiao, who was famous in the Yongle Dynasty, was still just a Master Daoyan who had failed in his attempt to persuade.

Shi Guoan, the chief minister of Prince Yan, was many times more powerful than the rebellious scholar Daoyan monk.

"Guo Changshi..."

Monk Dao Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Guo An in disbelief.

"The monk is just giving advice to His Highness, you are the one who has been making various preparations for the great changes from the beginning.

Those things make the monks feel ashamed..."

Guo An frowned instantly and scolded Monk Daoyan loudly: "Monk like you, why do you like to denigrate people's innocence?"

Dao Yan said: "Why should Guo Changshi deceive himself?"

Guo An said angrily: "It's you, the monk, who tainted my innocence out of thin air!"

Monk Dao Yan couldn't help but continued: "Then what did Guo Changshi do?"

Guo An asked with a serious face: "I dare to ask Master, is there anything I do that is not what I should do as the chief historian of Prince Yan's palace?"

Dao Yan: "..."

Think about it, it seems that this is really the case!
