Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 944: The world is in a state of chaos, someone is making a mistake

After Nie Daoren's words fell, the room fell into a strange silence and silence.

After all, the master and apprentice started their search for power in the North from Dai County, and they both had complicated thoughts about the figure in the north who had now taken over Youzhou.

After a long while, the Buddhist scriptures said: "I know that you have regrets about this matter, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back."

Nie Daoren's expression changed slightly, and he finally nodded and said: "This disciple certainly understands this truth. The commander-in-chief is actually a wise master, with great ambitions, means and strategies, and his early experience has tempered his firm will. In comparison, several parties around him Almost no one can compare with his power.”

"It's good if you think so," Dharma Jian breathed a sigh of relief, the apology in his eyes slightly dissipated, "But your position is actually unstable at the moment. Although we have the help of the Buddhists, it makes Marshal Shi realize It has become important, but it is still not the leader of the plan. The reason is that on the one hand, there are still reservations, and on the other hand, there is no real plan and no clear strategy."

"This is normal," Nie Daoren was open-minded. "I haven't been here for a long time. With the help of my master, I have gained the commander's trust. After all, time is still short, so we have to proceed step by step."

"It's good that you can keep your composure, after all." Dharma Jian nodded, then lowered his head slightly, "However, the current situation has changed drastically, and there is also chaos in the south. We urgently need a northern stronghold so that we can protect the believers in the north in the future. , to save the world, so you have to speed up your pace. Moreover, the person who is pressing on you now still has misunderstandings about our Buddhism. If you can replace him as soon as possible, all kinds of hidden dangers can be eliminated."

"The teacher is talking about Zhang Jun?" Nie Daoren pondered for a moment after hearing the words, with various thoughts running through his mind, and finally said: "This person actually has great talents. If you want to become a commander in the future, you cannot do without this person, and I will also work more with him." study."

"Zhang Bin's abilities are well known to me as a teacher, but sometimes we should not be obsessed with superficial appearances." When the Dharma slip spoke, his demeanor as a monk had gone, and he had gained an inexplicable aura. A mysterious person, but there is a difference between my thoughts of Buddha. If you cannot suppress him, he will definitely suppress us in the future. But at this time, you cannot take this risk. I will give you a warning here. At the end of the day, Buddhism is backing you, and everyone has money and food. You can satisfy what the commander-in-chief has learned. You are the Buddha's example and serve in front of him. You should speak out bravely. The general trend is where the general trend is. Zhang Bin, a lonely man, can win with one or two strategies. Not for long.”

Nie Daoren listened, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, making the Dharma Jian very satisfied.

Later, the monk said: "Now, since Marshal Shi wants to destroy the ancestors, let's wait first. The ancestors are now weak and on the verge of collapse, and they will definitely fall in one battle. How to seize the counties in eastern Hebei is the key." , if you can outwit Zhang Bin, then I, the Buddha, will have no worries."

After hearing these instructions, Nie Daoren nodded, indicating that he understood.

Following the Dharma Brief, he asked again if there were any specific measures to be taken next.

"Just wait," Nie Daoren said bluntly, "As the teacher said, Zu Ti's power will not last long. Under heavy pressure, there will be civil strife. After the chaos, we will attack and win, so as to nourish Hejian and recover. Intimidate Jidong, and then cultivate calmly, the current situation, within seven days at most, the situation of Zu Ti's army in the river will definitely change."

After listening to the Buddhist teachings, he was deeply aware of the exquisiteness of his words. He couldn't help but smile and said: "My disciple is indeed brilliant!" Then he ordered that what the two of them said today must not be leaked to the outside world. This is to maintain the dignity of their Buddhist sect and prevent others from letting others know. Seize the rhetorical handle of joining forces with the government.

On the other hand, many of what we talked about today involve Shi Le. As a staff member, we should not disclose it to outsiders. Nie Daoren knew the master's thoughts before telling him. However, once some content is spread, it will be taboo and reach Shi Le's ears. It may cause the suspicious person to stop trusting.

Little did the two of them know that their conversation was accurately predicted by another person. "Nie Daoren has a Buddhist background. Although he looks kind-hearted, he has already been tainted with the Buddhist heart of salvation. Otherwise, how could he come to join him? I'm afraid he will be planning how to expand his Buddhism while the commander-in-chief unifies Jizhou. The influence of the Buddhist temple, while thinking about how to suppress me, the commander’s confidant and number one schemer, or replace me.”

The person discussing this matter was Zhang Bin, Shi Le's counselor, whom the master and disciples of the Dharma Slip were talking about.

His nephew Zhang Duo said with some confusion at this time: "My uncle also worshiped Buddhism in the past, discussed mysteries with others, and even confirmed Buddhism. Why did he insist on discouraging him this time? This made Nie Daoren and others feel unhappy."

Zhang Bin sat in the room, sipping tea and setting up cups, and talked eloquently: "This Buddhism is certainly good, and the Buddhist teachings are exquisite and true, but the Buddhist temple should not be built now. After all, the temple occupies mountains and rivers, is rich in fertile soil, and does not pay taxes." , do not serve, and it is obvious that there are many tenants, which not only cannot strengthen the country, but also causes cramps. I persuaded the commander before, but he looked at the talents and business routes provided by the Buddhists, and felt that only one or two temples were insignificant, but he did not know this The Buddhist approach has always been to get one into two. To have a temple, you need to build two temples; to get an acre of land, you need to set up three tenants; if you have power to enter a county, you need to plan a state, which is really a hidden danger."

As soon as Zhang Duo said this, he savored it carefully and found that it made sense. He was not vulgar. He had also been wandering. He had also studied the Six Books and had a wide range of knowledge. He knew that these ideas in Buddhism have expanded rapidly recently. As long as they take root in one place, they will immediately It expanded rapidly, and its influence grew stronger and stronger, often attracting the attention of local officials.

"With the power of the imperial court, the rich prefectures and counties in Jiangzuo can naturally suppress the Buddhist temples, but the general has created it and has not yet established itself. It is the time to win over the aristocratic families and clans. How can we abandon the near and seek the far away? Those Buddhist people You can use it, but you can't rely on it. You can rely on some favors and let them transfer money to people, but you shouldn't really designate the land as a temple."

Zhang Duo knew something, so he said: "Perhaps he felt that it was difficult to win over the local aristocratic families, so he borrowed the help of the Buddhist family."

Of course, it is difficult to win over him. The legacy of aristocratic families, poems and etiquette, and the most important thing is reputation, which is used to establish his reputation. He, Shi Le, was born as a horse bandit, and he is a foreigner. He is still engaged in beheading business, which is no different from rebellion. Which aristocratic family is willing to get close to him?If it weren't for the fact that this person was bloodthirsty and worried about the family inheritance being cut off, everyone would probably have to scold him in front of him to clear his name.

"Now and then," Zhang Bin shook his head, "The majesty of the imperial court is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they all feel that today's chaos is only temporary, so they do not want to be with the commander-in-chief. However, the situation is different now. They may be able to move to keep more people." The way to go, to put it mildly, is to ignore the situation. The commander-in-chief should not give up just because it is difficult. In terms of difficulty, the most difficult thing in the world is to crack the earth and build the system. The commander-in-chief even dares to do this, so why should he be afraid that the family will not obey? The worst case scenario is to kill some people, shock them, and forcibly conquer them. How can we give up the difficulty and seek an easy solution just for a moment?"

Zhang Duo was frightened when he heard that. He tasted the hidden meaning in those words and asked cautiously: "Uncle, could it be that you feel that this chaos is not just a temporary situation, but..."

Zhang Bin glanced at him with a smile and did not answer.

Zhang Duo also came back to his senses and ignored the mention. He just asked: "Now that the commander-in-chief is re-employing the Nie family and Buddhism, what if it is a hidden danger?"

"Wait a minute." Zhang Bin smiled faintly, "Then Nie Daoren must have spoken to the commander-in-chief. His words are powerful, and his eyes are fixed on Hejian, thinking that he can break the ancestors. We only need to wait to wake the commander-in-chief."

Seeing the confusion on his nephew's face, he smiled and said: "Don't be suspicious, the situation is as expected. The river is the eye, and the commander will make a move to surround it, so you have to wait for another person to make a move."
