Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 189 Viper
The predecessor of Mingjiao was Manichaeism, which was the Persian Zoroastrianism that was once famous in the world.

When this religion was at its most powerful, it swept across Central Asia and fell in love with Buddhism for hundreds of years. Therefore, many people in the Western Regions adopted this religion as their state religion. During the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains people embraced Manichaeism. Naturally, it came in.

Since the Central Plains region has always been dominated by Buddhism and Taoism, and Manichaeism was at a disadvantage as a latecomer and was suppressed by Buddhism, so gradually came the terms demon sect and evil cult, and the rulers This is also fueled for political purposes.

Therefore, during the development of Manichaeism in the Central Plains, it was inevitable that it began to absorb more and more elements of Buddhism, and even later integrated all the Diamond Sutra into it, and combined it with many other Buddhist sutras to create the Guangming Sutra. They are all nondescript, neither earthy nor foreign things like Mani Guangming Buddha, and they have touched the porcelain of Buddhism in the opposite direction, causing the Buddhist community to hate them more and more. However, there is something about both of them that is different from each other. That makes sense.

You can freely switch between Buddhism and Mingjiao by changing your clothes, so at least ordinary Mingjiao masters only need to change their appearance and pretend to be an enlightened monk, which is invisible to ordinary people.

On the same day, Mrs. Huarui invited Master Mingyang to come to the palace to explain the scriptures.

Zhao Kuangyin himself didn't know much about these mythical things. Recently, the Ganzhou Uyghurs had intended to ease relations with the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin also reciprocated the favor. The restrictions on Mingjiao's missionary work had been relaxed a lot. Seeing this Mrs. Huarui Even if he believed this, he didn't take it seriously.

Ten days later, it is said that a supremely powerful mage came to Kaifeng. It was said that he was invulnerable to water and fire, could not be killed by a knife, and had the power to bathe in an oil pan. When he explained Buddhism, it made people feel like they were in the Buddhist kingdom, and they were able to pray for enlightenment and wisdom. With this ability, almost all children who are touched by him and prayed for blessings will become smarter, as if they have been enlightened.

A person with such great supernatural powers naturally aroused the curiosity of many dignitaries. Of course, Chai Rong was not far away from destroying Buddhism after all. The Song Dynasty inherited the Zhou system, so they always stayed away from these gossips about gods and gods. Therefore, everyone just It's just curiosity. No one really dares to let him climb the heights of the temple. Everyone wants to wait and see.

However, by some strange combination, the news about this so-called eminent monk was able to reach the palace, and the queen actually heard it.

As we all know, the Queen believes deeply in Buddhism.

After all, the three children she gave birth to were not fed. As a woman, it is inevitable that she would ask ghosts and gods, and she would always think that she was not virtuous enough. From then on, she only wore plain clothes and chanted sutras every day. If the Buddha does not destroy the Buddha, no one can take care of her anyway.

Then Master Huineng entered the palace as a guest and began to perform magical powers for the queen, explain Buddhism, and enlighten the prince. It is even said that this person has the ability to make alchemy.

In just a few days, this mage had become a popular figure in front of the queen. Zhao Defang even asked him to call him master and ask him for advice on how to practice and how to prolong life and stay healthy.

"Queen, the difference between the lives of the two princes...is an indescribably precious relationship between heaven and man."

"Is it?"

"Ah, it's a poor monk who made a mistake."

Queen Wang had long regarded this monk as a trustworthy master, and regarded Zhao Defang as her biological son. She quickly said: "Master, please explain more clearly."

"The prince... is the reincarnated soul boy of my Buddhist sect. It should have been a precious life, but it's a pity... ah~, it's a pity, it's a pity that there are enemies of the Buddha who blocked the prince's life."

"The so-called enemy of Buddha, is he the King of Qin?"

"This... Amitabha Buddha"

Zhao Guangmei is indeed said to be an enemy of Buddhism. He has always disliked religion. Especially when he attacked the northwest and recovered the rebel army, his rejection of Buddhism was already obvious.

Seeing the master's silence, the queen couldn't help but ask: "Master, is there any... solution?"

"Amitabha, Amitabha, this is a serious matter. Queen, it's better to be a humble monk and not say anything."

"Master, I heard that... Emperor Shizong was also an enemy of Buddha. He... seemed to have been cursed to death by you?"

"This..." "Master, you must help me. If you help me, you are helping yourself."

"This...well, as the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? In order to get rid of this enemy of Buddhism, the poor monk has no choice but to go to hell and walk through it."

Then he took out a small puppet and said: "Queen, if you can take the hair of the enemy of the Buddha and the belongings, make it into a witchcraft, prick it with needles every day, and it will be stained with feces and urine, and if things go on like this, They will surely suffer bad luck and be riddled with diseases. The more stunningly talented and beautiful a person is, the more likely they are to be jealous of God."

When Queen Wang heard this, her eyes lit up and she blurted out: "Is this how Chai Rong was cursed to death by you?"

"This... Amitabha, so good, so good."

"Thank you, Master. I understand."

As the saying goes, old and new grudges, in fact, if there were no Zhao Guangmei in this world, Zhao Defang would indeed be qualified to inherit the throne. After all, the official family is now at its peak, so what does it matter if the child is younger?In contrast, Zhao Dezhao, who was thinking about gunpowder all day long, was really unlikeable.

Besides, even if Zhao Dezhao inherits the throne, it's not a bad thing. She is Zhao Dezhao's aunt after all.

As for the personal belongings and hair, at least for her, it's not too difficult to get them.

At the same time, Mrs. Huarui has officially joined the Ming Cult, and from time to time she also invites Ming Cult masters to come to the palace to explain scriptures to him, and she has made great progress.

Because Mingjiao and Buddhism collided very hard, and many of the doctrines were the same as Buddhism, so much so that Mrs. Huarui actually had a common language with the queen, and they became more and more attached to each other.

"Queen, I...I heard a piece of news from the great mage of the Ming Cult. I don't know whether it is true or not about what happened outside the palace."

"what news?"

"It's true... Although Kaifeng is prosperous, in fact, there are also corruptions under the prosperity. It is said that there is a gangster, nicknamed the Sky Rat, who has thousands of knights under him, bullying and dominating the market, and doing everything he can. No one dares to mess with him. He once said that in Kaifeng, no one else can compete with him for any business he likes. Whatever he, the Yizimen, wants, sooner or later, it will belong to the Yizimen."

Queen Wang frowned: "Kaifeng? How can the emperor have such an arrogant outfit? How did the second son become the governor of Kaifeng?"

"Prince Qi... he must be weak-minded."

"Ah? Second brother, will you be helpless against this gangster?"

"I heard that... this gangster is a close friend of the official family, and there are rumors that his relationship with the trading company is extraordinary."

"Huh, second brother, this is getting more and more outrageous. What kind of cats and dogs dare to cling to our royal family like this?"

"Hey~, my sister shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the outer dynasty. However, my sister has been eating fast and praying to the Buddha recently, and her heart has really softened. I heard that this wandering rat has done all kinds of evil things, and cares about people's lives, but no one can care about it. I can't help but feel a little bit. ...some...hey~ I am a demon concubine, it is too late to hide from this political matter, how can I move forward? But...but I..."

Seeing this, Queen Wang quickly said: "Sister, I understand, I understand everything. Don't worry, this matter is something I can't bear to take care of. It must have nothing to do with you. Humph, come here, give me your dick. Call me, I want to question you."

"In this case, my sister would like to thank the queen for her strength. Then, my sister will take her leave first."

After that, he stepped back in small steps, but when he turned around, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
