Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 196 Gautama Buddha?How many troops does he have?

On that day, Daguangming Temple, which had finally opened with great difficulty, was temporarily closed before it could officially open its doors, and there was no explanation from the beginning to the end.

Anyway, all the people who followed up the mountain that day, whether they were Ban Zhi or ministers, all remained silent and refused to say anything no matter how they asked.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he beat birds, wrestled, and even kicked the wall. He had rarely been so angry and uncomfortable since he became emperor.

However, if I really wanted to ask him how to deal with this matter, he actually had no idea at all.

Angry, really angry.

But if you asked him to depose Queen Wang, he really couldn't bear it.

Even if he didn't consider the influence of the queen's family background, he still couldn't bear it.

Just like Zhao Guangmei said, he, the queen, was married to her before he became the emperor or even became an inspector. She was not a couple in need, but after all, she was his wife and she had real feelings for her.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, as we all know, his biggest shortcoming is his emphasis on feelings, especially family ties. He really values ​​his family extremely, not just pretending. Personally speaking, he really can't bear to waste this queen.

Of course, the Tian family has no private affairs, but if you look at it from a business perspective, the queen should not be abolished. He can pass this inspection and even wear a yellow robe. The Wang family has indeed made great efforts. They got married. At that time, the lintel of the Wang family was a little higher than that of the Zhao family. At this time, after deposing, it was more or less like burning bridges across the river.

How could he, Zhao Kuangyin, do such an unkind thing?

Hey ~
This Queen, why is she so stupid, letting someone act as a swordsman!

He was reluctant to abolish this queen, but he was really angry about it, and he also had to worry about Zhao Guangmei's feelings. Therefore, after returning to the palace, he ordered the queen to be grounded. Except for a personal maid, no one was allowed to have contact with her. But if there is any specific punishment, there is none.

However, Zhao Defang took him away and gave it to the Queen Mother Du to keep temporarily. The child seemed to have noticed something and cried all afternoon. He was quite smart.

Hey ~
uncomfortable.

While he was getting upset, Wang Jien came over quietly and said: "The official, His Highness the King of Qin, asked someone to bring a gift to the Queen, and specifically stated that it must be delivered to the Queen. You see..."

"Third brother gave you a gift? What did you give me?"

Wang Jien asked someone to carry him up, but Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but laugh and burst into tears.

But Zhao Guangmei actually gave him an oversized tumbler with a picture of Zhao Guangmei's head crying and an arrow target on his belly.

"His Highness said that knowing that the Queen was angry with him, he ordered someone to make this thing and send it to the palace to vent her anger. Although this thing was made in a hurry, it was also made by eight senior craftsmen in the business. It has a mechanism inside. Hit it and there will be a sound."

"Is there still any sound?"

Zhao Kuangyin thought it was funny, so he tried to step forward, and punched Zhao Guangmei in the face, causing the roly-poly to fall over, but the roly-poly's stomach made a sound of "ou~", which made him so funny. Zhao Kuangyin laughed again.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "I, having such a virtuous brother is the blessing of the world."

Now that I think about it, it's actually quite scary. What happened today is really thanks to Zhao Guangmei.

To be honest, the trick this group of people used was indeed quite insidious and vicious. Almost all the spearheads were pointed at the queen. Although it was not perfect, when the witchcraft was taken out, , even he couldn't help but burst into anger. He was not rational enough at all, so how could he make any clear decision?

He was still like this. Under normal circumstances, if someone else found out that he was so cursed, anyone would be furious. Moreover, the Queen's intention to kill him was already so clear, even if it was for self-protection. , if it were a mortal, even if he felt there was any doubt in this, he would take this opportunity to settle the matter first.

However, this third child was not afraid or angry at all when he encountered such a thing. Zhao Kuangyin could see that this kid took this matter as a joke from beginning to end. It was this kind of mentality that made him keen. Find out what is unreasonable.

What's even more commendable is that even though he was so angry that he was going to crumble, Zhao Guangmei had a broad mind and dug out the cocoons to find out the bigger conspiracy behind it. At the same time, he also persuaded Zhao Kuangyin that peace was the most important thing, and now he gave such an interesting little gift.

This is really a blessing for the common people. In fact, as long as Zhao Guangmei's tolerance is just a little bit smaller this time, this matter is likely to be a major event that will cause the world to collapse. If it spreads to the court, it may cause a big mess. Woolen cloth.

In this incident, in fact, the Mingjiao's methods were not unskilled. They were playing a game of death by posing as evildoers, and they really only missed success by a small margin.

Their purpose is quite straightforward. Do they want to replace Buddhism's position in the Central Plains? They may even want to take this opportunity to use the Song Dynasty to get involved in the Uighur regime. They must have been planning this for some time. Then, by chance, he met Mrs. Huarui, who came to her door, and they hit it off immediately, and they worked together.

As for Mrs. Huarui, I have to say that this woman is really cruel.

On the surface, they went for Queen Wang, but in fact, they went for Zhao Guangmei. Although she was indeed not qualified to be a queen, they had no intention of becoming a queen.

To put it bluntly, the poem Zhao Guangmei wrote in Chengdu was originally intended to appease the Shu generals, but when Mrs. Huarui heard it, she panicked a little.

Let her fight Zhao Guangmei. She definitely doesn't have the strength. She is not at that level, so she came up with such a plan to divert trouble.

In fact, as long as the conflict between Queen Wang and Zhao Guangmei breaks out, the matter itself will be a big thunder in the Song Dynasty, exploding and destroying the Queen. Zhao Guangmei will never find the slightest bit of a female prostitute like her again in the future. trouble.

After all, he had already killed one of his sisters-in-law, and there was no way he could kill another one. He would only hide far away.Besides, if Queen Wang is really deposed because of this, or even has some shortcomings because of it, this matter will definitely become a thorn in the hearts of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangmei afterwards. Even if Zhao Kuangyin doesn't say anything, he will definitely be angry with her because of it. Zhao Guangmei felt disgusted. Even if the plan was a bit frivolous, if he reviewed it afterwards, all the problems in it would be thrown at Zhao Guangmei.

After spending so much effort, the original intention was just to protect herself. I have to say that this girl is really ruthless and courageous in her actions. She even mastered the timing really well, and she immediately hit the Mingjiao's demand point. .

And in this way, she and Mingjiao are a highly bound political alliance. After all, Mingjiao is different from Buddhism. It has a clear management team within it, and there is such a special position as a saint, and it is related to The Uyghurs' surrender will give this woman more assets besides her beauty when the tide rises in the future.

If Zhao Guangmei hadn't been calm enough, Zhao Kuangyin might have been deceived in a rage. In this case, it would be too late by the time he reflected on the situation in the future.

However, after returning to the palace, Zhao Kuangyin did not do anything to Mrs. Huarui. He just asked her to return to the palace to rest. After all, she insisted that she knew nothing about this matter. So far, there is indeed no evidence that can directly point to her. Mingjiao None of those backbones bit her directly.

Of course, the key is that she is not important in this matter, at least for the time being, no one has time to pay attention to her.

Unlike Zhao Kuangyin who could still sulk alone in the harem, Zhao Guangmei and Zhao Guangyi were really busy and even a little annoyed.

The Mingjiao religion is really special, because it has always been a demonic religion, and the rulers of all dynasties have always suppressed it. When Chai Rong destroyed Buddhism before, he was actually just giving Buddhism a slap in the face. At most seven of the monks were forced to return to secular life, two were killed, and one was left. But for the Mingjiao believers, almost every one was killed.

It just so happens that the rulers of all dynasties have done this, and their basic vitality is still very strong. The lives of the common people have been too miserable for the past five generations. The teachings of Zoroastrianism actually have a strong appeal to the poor people. The fire is not extinguished, but the spring breeze blows and rekindles it, but it has made this sect somewhat extreme.

However, the more this happened, the more cautious Zhao Guangmei had to be in handling it.

Zhao Guangyi suggested that we simply kill them all. After all, their purpose of supporting the Mingjiao was to control the Uighurs instead of the foreigners. Why not just find an interest spokesperson or puppet from the Uighurs? This would actually save a lot of trouble.

However, Zhao Guangmei objected.

"It's better to block than to block. The Ming Cult has been growing stronger and stronger under the name of the Demon Cult for so many years. This fully proves that they have a mass base. The more they are banned, the more deformed they will be." , Moreover, if I want to govern the northwest, I want to completely treat it as the hinterland of my Song Dynasty. If I just choose an agent, our Song Dynasty will be strong at this time, and the Uighurs will bow to us, and our Song Dynasty will decline in the future. At that time, people will no longer recognize you."

Zhao Guangmei knew better than anyone that the Mingjiao sect could not be controlled by banning it. Historically, the Northern Song Dynasty also suppressed the Mingjiao sect. In the end, the leader Fang La was banned and half of his life was lost in the Northern Song Dynasty with a kick.

Not to mention, during the great uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, although there was no exaggerated basis for the Ming Dynasty to be derived from the Mingjiao in the novel, the Mingjiao did play an important role in it. After the Ming Dynasty, this thing became The White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect are professional households that rebelled. Even Li Zicheng’s slogan of equalizing land and freeing grain was more or less related to the Ming Sect. Until the Qing Dynasty’s red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots, in fact many The organizational ideas are inherited from Mingjiao.

During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, many generations of wise emperors banned this Ming religion for a thousand years. Is it useful?useless.

What this religion emphasizes is mutual help and love, it talks about discipline and self-cultivation, advocating light, and even has a touch of egalitarianism. They are all things that the people at the bottom need. The harder the life of the people, the more difficult it is. Lively.

Might as well formalize it.

"Then you say, now that we have wiped out all the high-level officials of Mingjiao, if the Uighurs don't need to open the Daguangming Temple, who will open it? The murderer still uses others, and expects them to help us suppress the Uighurs? Is this appropriate? ?”

After hearing this, Zhao Guangmei thought for a while and asked, "Tell me, would it be possible if I asked Cao Yuanzhong to take a part-time job as the leader of the Ming Cult?"

"what?"

Zhao Guangyi looked confused: "Cao Yuanzhong believes in Buddhism!"

"Then let him change it."

"........."

"You see, the Guiyi Army and the Uighurs have been living together all year round. Although there are many conflicts, they have been stumbling for many years. Sometimes the Han people rule the Uighurs, and sometimes the Uighurs rule the Han people. In fact, it is really that there is me in you, and you in me. I really asked someone to find out. Today's Mingjiao has also absorbed many things from Buddhism, and Guiyijun's Buddhism has also absorbed many things from Manichaeism. In the future, when we explore the northwest, Guiyijun will definitely be the most important. This is the fulcrum, but they believe in Buddhism. Buddha and other old people may not necessarily listen to our surname Zhao. This is also what I have always been most afraid of about Gui Yijun. So tell me, if Gui Yijun can convert to Mingjiao, this matter Are we settled? The Ming Cult has a leader. As long as we can canonize this leader, do you think that canonizing the leader and canonizing the Jiedushi mean the same thing?"

Zhao Guangyi said speechlessly: "I discovered that you have no respect at all for things related to these gods and ghosts."

"Religion, in essence, does not serve politics?"

"Can Cao Yuanzhong agree?"

"Let's give it a try. What if he agrees?"

Then the two found Cao Yuanzhong.

Cao Yuanzhong fell silent after hearing what he said.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so courageous. In your eyes, whether it is Sakyamuni or Mani Guangming Buddha, are they just random toys?"

"Yes, what else? Sakyamuni? How many armies does he have? Just tell me whether you want to do it or not."

"Then...should I expand the Mogao Grottoes again? Paint the Guangming Buddha inside?"
