Chapter 805 Breakthrough (5800 Fill)
royal palace.
Daqing Palace.
Today's Emperor Dasong is in his forties, with a refined appearance, good at painting flowers and birds, and good at cultivating Taoism.
At this time, the early court had passed, and he deliberately left a few people behind to discuss matters in the apse.
"Northern barbarians violated the border again..."
"There was a severe drought in the Central Plains, and the disaster relief funds were embezzled..."
...
After discussing it, the officials couldn't help but show a trace of tiredness on their faces.
How could he not see that the imperial court was in decline and the country was in decline?
But... If you want to kill a thief, you can't bring yourself back to heaven!
To tell the truth, the previous prime ministers were all good for a while, and they proposed many feasible strategies, but when it came to the bottom, the officials sometimes misunderstood it.
This is also the trick of the bureaucracy to deal with the fate, either delaying, ignoring...or adding layers...
All in all, if the executive power at the grassroots level is not good, no matter how good the strategy of saving the country is, it will be useless!
Therefore, in all dynasties, the rectification of officials has been regarded as the top priority of the officialdom.
However, no matter how the feudal dynasty was rectified, it was still ruled by men, and it could not escape the vicious circle of death and death.
Even though the officials at this time know that the imperial court is hard to return, just like a seriously ill and frail person, who cannot use strong medicine, but can only take it slowly.
There have been lessons in this regard.
In the previous dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Xizong, although there were also border troubles, the imperial court was able to barely survive with repairs.
But after Sizong came to power, he couldn't wait to get rid of the eunuchs and change the prime minister... The most important thing is that he was too anxious, and the order was changed day and night.
In the history books, those mediocre lords can be successful ones instead, and a small number of radicals win and most lose, which can be described as ironic.
When the official family was young, he was also full of ambitions, thinking that after ascending to the throne, he would reform the government and become the king of Zhongxing.
But after a few blows, the person became decadent, only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, and begged immortals to ask questions.
At this time, after discussing with several Qingzi senior officials, the official waved his hands: "... I heard that a Taoist riding a tiger came to the capital?"
"Report to the officials, there is indeed such a thing."
Jia Yan, a scholar of Baowenge, came out and said: "It is rumored that he can subdue fierce tigers, and he has Jiaolihuozao, which can cure all kinds of diseases! His Taoist name is Xu Lingzi, and he seems to be a real practitioner..."
The officials knew it well, but how could the officials who had secret agents of the Imperial City Secretary not know about the Void Spirit?
It's just that there were too many objections before, such as the privy envoy Tong Jing in a red official robe and a black long-winged hat! And real Zishi and so on...
Although the officials were a little interested in the Void Lingzi before, but the other party only showed the ability to ride a tiger, it was of no use. Since there are loud voices of opposition, it's okay not to see it.
But now that Jiaoli Huozao was exposed, the situation was quite different.
It can cure all diseases and prolong life, who wouldn't want it?
In fact, Jia Yan was speaking on behalf of the official, and the ministers knew that he couldn't stop it!
"Officials, please listen to the old minister!"
Tong Jing came out at this time, his skin was as dark as iron, he was high-spirited and burly, he did not seem to be from a eunuch background, at this time he said loudly: "Monks and Taoists are lowly people and should not stand in the court. There are precedents in all dynasties. You are a saint, you must not be deceived..."
Although Tong Jing is an eunuch, in fact, he admires famous teachings and has been actively approaching civil servants.
But... people look down on him.
But at this time, seeing someone coming forward, the other civil servants still followed: "Even if your majesty wants to ask about the family scriptures...the real people in the palace are enough, and the countrymen are used to pretending to be ghosts and tricking fools and fools..."
"You... are you comparing me to a farmer and woman in the countryside?"
The official was in a hurry, but it was hard to say anything.
Civil officials have long been known for being so, and there are ancestors' precepts, not to offend the officials, so as not to block the way of speech.
"I dare not wait."
A group of courtiers took off their hats and pleaded guilty, but it's hard to predict what's going on in their hearts.
"Officials, just in time for the feast of the Qianqiu, how about summoning that Taoist to come to the front of the hall, so that all the officials and other Daoists of Chongming Dao can have a look, if it is true or not, won't you know it at a glance?"
At this time, the traitor Jia Yan stood up.
Why is it so easy to use treacherous ministers? Here it is, and they can cater to their wishes without a bottom line. Which emperor doesn't like it?
And because the reputation is too bad, there is a handle, and wanting to clean up is just a matter of words.
"It's so good."
The official smiled slightly, and it was settled.
...
Great Vajra Temple.
"The official orders, Taoist Master Xu Lingzi, please come to the Qianqiu Banquet on the fifteenth day of this month!"
Wu Mingzi was troubled in his heart, without revealing anything on his face, he handed an invitation to Aaron, and said with a smile, "I've been busy with business these past few days, so I've neglected Fellow Daoist, don't blame Fellow Daoist!"
"Where is there, I have to thank you fellow daoist, otherwise this matter will not be able to be done."
Aaron accepted the invitation with a smile, and saluted again, as if he didn't know anything about what happened.
Wu Mingzi chatted with him for a few more words, and then left with his relatives.
Aaron looked at the old Taoist who was following Wu Mingzi, and suddenly sneered.
...
Wu Mingzi and Lao Dao walked for a while, and got into a carriage.
In the carriage, Huo Yunzi had already been waiting, and at this moment his face was full of shame: "Really... I know I was wrong."
"Where did you go wrong?"
The old Taoist priest with a vicissitudes of life sat cross-legged, and there seemed to be a breath of fresh air lingering in his body, and asked in a cold voice.
"I shouldn't underestimate the people of the world, let alone try to monopolize Qianlong Qi..."
Huo Yunzi lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake.
"You are a leader in this sect... If you reminded me earlier, wouldn't you be the next real person to be promoted?"
The old Taoist was heartbroken.
After this incident, there will be many twists and turns in Huo Yunzi's future path.
In Chongming Taoism, there is one great master and five real people, so naturally there are factions.
If Huo Yunzi didn't belong to his faction, he wouldn't rush to wipe his ass.
"That Void Spirit..."
After Huo Yunzi admitted his mistake, he asked unwillingly.
"It has become a fact that the people personally ordered by the officials go to the Qianqiu Banquet... As for Taoism?"
When the old Taoist said this, his expression was also full of confusion: "I can't see it through, I really can't see it through..."
He saw that Xu Lingzi was originally an anti-king, and he would end badly.
But upon closer inspection, it seems that something has changed, vitality has flourished, and the fatal calamity that was hit is gone.
More importantly, he even practiced Taoism!
How can this be?
...
At the same time, in the secret room of the Great King Kong Temple.
Wu Shan was also reporting to Abbot Baimei: "Abbot...the fire dates are really effective! What should I do?"
"Amitabha... How should the Chongming Dao deal with the Dao when the Dao is manifested in the world? Since that Xu Lingzi said that the Fated Dharma is over, so be it." The abbot said in a low voice.
Wu Shan nodded slightly, knowing that Da Jingang Temple still had the previous view, and let Xu Lingzi fight Chongming Dao!
It's just that the young Buddhist disciple felt confused in his heart.
Since Taoism can be manifested in the capital, what about Sanskrit?
