Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 1172 Bankrupt!

Hearing what Tang Seng said, a wry smile appeared on Han Shichen's lips.

"Really, believe in the eyesight of the poor monk, you can really win the first prize, and the poor monk will not be wrong!" Tang Seng gave him further confidence.

Han Shichen picked up the kettle, poured a little water into Tang Seng's thick bowl, picked it up and drank it directly, then looked at Tang Seng and said, "Little master, Han knows that he will win the first prize!"

I made a move, and Tang Seng almost stumbled.

Confidence means self-confidence. There is nothing wrong with it. Fortunately, I said it in front of myself. Otherwise, if I were a different person, I would really think he was bragging!

"Don't look at me with such eyes, because three years ago, Mr. Han won the number one prize!"

Immediately afterwards, Han Shichen showed a self-deprecating wry smile, with a resentment on his face.

Hearing this sentence, Tang Seng was obviously also shocked. He guessed that Han Shiping would definitely not lie about this matter.

There must be a story here, and there must be tricks!

He suppressed his curiosity about where the monks were treated unfairly, but instead became very curious about the fact that Han Shichen had already won the first prize and instead farmed here.

"Amitabha, Master Han, can you tell the poor monk what's going on?" Tang Seng clasped his hands together and asked in a low voice.

"Heh... Actually, it's not a secret. You and I are both people who have received unfair treatment. It's okay to talk about the so-called fallen people at the end of the world!"

Han Shichen said with a chuckle.

"Three years ago, in Chunwei, I went to Beijing to take the exam, and won the Huiyuan in the general examination, which is No.1. Before that, I was lucky enough to know Yuan in the provincial examination. Finally, in the palace examination, Han was awarded by the emperor. Hand-picked as champion."

"This is the legendary Lianzhong Sanyuan? What a disrespect!" Hearing this, Tang Seng really admired the system. He knew such a character!

Han Shichen shook his head slightly: "What if I won the first prize? The emperor hand-picked me as the first prize, but later withdrew it and sent it back to my hometown. I am no longer an ordinary tribute."

"What's the reason?" Tang Seng asked. He knew very well in his heart that such a strong contrast would be absolutely unbearable for ordinary scholars. If he doesn't become a psychopath, he has the strongest brain.

"The reason is my father. My father was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry before his death. Because he promoted the reform of the new law, it touched the interests of many dignitaries. This is not counted. The emperor respected Taoists and longed for longevity. The new law also involved some Taoism. Among those Daoist sects, many people with great supernatural powers in the future, my father was inexplicably imprisoned for the crime of causing chaos and chaos. Isn’t it ridiculous?”

Speaking of this, Han Shichen showed a mocking smile, and then he continued: "After being selected as the No. [-] scholar, I originally thought that I could take revenge from now on, clean up the king's side, revive the court, rehabilitate my father, and rescue him from prison. However, my father's political opponent found the emperor, and as a result, he was deposed from the number one scholar."

"In this way, I will be disheartened and lazy, thinking that in the countryside, I will plow the fields and serve my mother until I die of old age. As a result, last year the old emperor went west and the new emperor ascended the throne. My mother regained her mind. I want Han to go to the meeting again. Back then, the late emperor was just a subordinate tribute, and his status as a tribute student is still valid."

"However, Mr. Han has become disheartened towards the court, and he doesn't want to take the humiliation on himself. That's why my mother scolded me like this before."

After listening, Tang Seng nodded, and generally understood the cause, process, and result of the incident, these three elements.

At the same time, he also keenly grasped a key word... to implement the new law!
But all new laws are in conflict with the old interest groups, because the new law is to change the vested interests, the pressure is not so great, and there is even the danger of ruining one's reputation and family.

"What is the main content of the new law mentioned by Master Han?"

Tang Seng became interested in this matter and asked.

Han Shichen said: "Reducing age tax, lightening corvee, suppressing wealthy families, regulating relatives of the emperor, promoting water conservancy, and encouraging land reclamation! These are the six main contents of my father's new law."

Tang Seng nodded again, already having a preliminary understanding of the character of Han Shichen's father, the old minister of the Ministry of Industry.

It’s easy to talk about other things, but the royal family, Lu Huang’s relatives, and those who touch the interests are not ordinary people. They are two big mountains, two big mountains that are difficult to chew, and this old minister of the Ministry of Industry is really courageous!
Although Tang Seng has never been an official or dealt with government affairs, he still has some judgments on the contents of the new law, which are all great things that benefit the country and the people.

When being suppressed by others, there will definitely be supporters.

It's just that the status of the supporters is very low, such as ordinary people.

Knowing this situation, Tang Seng stopped talking about this matter, but changed the subject and asked: "Then, what do you think about the unfair treatment of monks by Master Han?"

He really wanted to know about this matter, but he couldn't ask directly, Donor Han, tell me, what injustices have we bidders encountered?Why?
This question is ten points, and he will definitely not get a point.

Because Han Shichen will definitely think that he is a fake monk and be wary.

Therefore, he asked very strategically.

What do you think?Generally speaking, it must be strange to ask this way.

"Humph……"

Hearing Tang Seng's question about this matter, Han Shichen was obviously more excited than before. He snorted and slammed his fist on the table.

"The Immortal Emperor pursues longevity wholeheartedly, and believes in some Jianghu Taoists, so that he suppresses Buddhist disciples, demolishes their temples, cuts off their incense, and makes you Buddhist disciples displaced and homeless. You say, you persuade people Good monks, who provoked whom, and received such unfair sanctions?"

A strange expression appeared on Tang Seng's face, why is this thing so familiar?
This is not a question of Buddha and Taoism, but a question of human beings.

It is a Taoist problem, so it is manifested in the monks through the emperor.

While talking, Han Shichen's wife Yun Niang brought out a bowl of steaming yellow rice and a plate of dried radish and pickles from the kitchen.

"Little master, I'm sorry, the people in the country don't have anything to eat, so you can take care of it!"

If it was okay to say it normally, but now that Tang Seng knew that the family was out of rice, he cooked and ate the only rice for himself, and then he said it so politely, he himself felt a little embarrassed.

"The benefactor is very polite!"

Tang Seng proclaimed the Buddha's name, then picked up the bowl, and pulled the rice and radish into his mouth
"Hey, little master, slow down, how many days have you not eaten?" Yun Niang hurriedly stopped.

However, with these few chopsticks, Tang Seng has already dried up the rice.

The bowl slipped away.

"Little master, if it's not enough, have another bowl." Han Shichen asked.

Tang Seng was just about to say enough, enough, no more bowls, but Yun Niang covered her forehead: "Shichen, why don't you have the nerve to raise your head, go and see in the pot yourself!"

"Ah... not anymore!"

Han Shichen got up, went to the kitchen, clinked, and took out half a big radish.

"Little master, this is delicious. It can be eaten as a fruit. I'm very hungry. I just like to fart, but it's smooth! Pay attention to eating!"

Tang Seng covered his head and said to himself, what the hell am I doing as a human being?

Eat and bankrupt everyone!
