NOVEL NEXT Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy
Chapter 878 You are still believing in Buddhism, what's the use of what?
Chapter 878 You are still believing in Buddhism, what's the use of what?
To be honest, Li Chunfeng didn't quite believe what Kong Qing said that those officials of the East Palace who had become gods would immediately raise their butcher knives against Buddhism and start a religious war as long as they had a legitimate reason.After all, he and these people are also colleagues. Although the relationship is not very close, they can be regarded as understanding.
In his opinion, among the subordinates of the East Palace, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others can definitely be regarded as a model of civil servants, while Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others are brave enough to say that it is not too much to say that they are enemies of ten thousand people, even if they are similar Zhang Liang, Hou Junji's relatively non-staff personnel are also enough to be called talents in various fields.
And most importantly, ever since His Royal Highness the Prince Shimin defeated the former Prince Li Jiancheng outside the Xuanwu Gate, His Majesty Li Yuan, who was manifested at the funeral, passed on the throne personally, and was able to control the power of the world. Sang, recuperating with the people, even the ancient Mingjun is nothing more than that.
Will His Royal Highness like this and the ministers who can be called Zhengying Dynasty start a religious war that will definitely spread to the world just because they want to expand their beliefs?
So, with doubts in his heart, Li Chunfeng quietly began to investigate his colleagues...
"Brother Zhang..."
Just when Li Chunfeng, guided by his superb divination skills, came to a certain position on the first floor of a restaurant of a beautiful cook in the West Market, he just sat down, when he heard the sound coming from the screen behind him. Two chattering voices came from behind.
First, a somewhat hoarse voice said in an indignant tone.
"Someone is just so angry. It's obvious that Li Cheng's grades in the Mingjing test are on par with that of a certain one. Why can he be admitted, while a certain one has to wait for the next subject to continue!"
"Of course it's because of Li Cheng's pious relationship with Wenqu Xingjun!"
Another voice said with some complaints.
"Master Wenqu Xing told us in a dream, saying that my Confucian culture and education will be governed by him in the future. Only scholars who believe in him will be able to win the imperial examination in the future, and all scholars who do not believe in him will not be able to win...
Then Li Cheng went to the Taoist temple the next day and invited a statue of Wenqu Xingjun, and he had to offer incense and pray in the morning and evening, but what about you, Brother Wu?Completely ignore it, as if there is no such thing, if someone is Wenqu Xingjun, he will not let Brother Wu win you! "
At this time, Li Chunfeng heard the hoarse tone and continued.
"But someone who believes in the Buddha, how could he turn to the Taoist temple to worship that Wenchang Xingjun?"
"Since that's the case, brother Wu, don't complain!"
Another voice spoke again.
"After all, it is Emperor Wenchang in the Taoist temple who is in charge of the imperial examination now, not the Buddha of Brother Wu... But Brother Wu, someone said something too much. You have believed in Buddhism for so many years since you were young. It can be said that you have not gained any benefits. Because this incident has affected your imperial examination, think about it for yourself, is it worthwhile for you to believe in Buddhism?"
"..."
Li Chunfeng never expected that he would eat such a big melon just after sitting down.
The most important arm of His Highness the Crown Prince, his eldest brother-in-law Wen Quxing's eldest grandson Wuji, actually blatantly pretended to be public servants, mixed private goods in the imperial examinations, knocked out this brother Wu who did not believe in him, and admitted those who believed in him.
This is already regarded as selfish fraud!
How could his grandson Wuji do this?
……
Just when Li Chunfeng was in a complicated mood, he heard the voices of two other people talking from the next door. Judging from the content and tone of their speech, Li Chunfeng felt that they should be members of the imperial court.
"Brother Bai..."
An anxious voice sounded.
"This time, someone in the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials of your Ministry actually got a middle-lower grade. Is there something wrong with it?"
"What's the problem?"
A leisurely voice on the opposite side replied calmly.
"Magistrate Liu, your political performance is mediocre this year, and the criminal department found two or three mistakes in the case you reported to the criminal department. Take it for granted!"
"Even if it's wrong to build a Buddhist temple, I'm still working anyway, and the county magistrate Qian in the next county doesn't do anything all day long, and the cases on his desk are piled up three feet high, and he knows to go to poetry gatherings everywhere... ..."
The anxious voice continued.
"But the examination department of your official department actually gave him a middle-upper grade in the end, and even promoted him to the Imperial Academy!"
"This is also impossible!"
The leisurely voice on the other side continued.
"The person who presided over the Jingzhao examination this time is the prince's close minister Fang, and he and the county magistrate Qian are both followers of Zuofu Xingjun. Not bad, so I was transferred away to use my expertise..."
Having said that, the leisurely voice continued.
"As for your county magistrate Liu, you not only have mediocre official achievements, but you have no literary talent in writing poems. You are full of craftsmanship, and you have no strengths that can be handed out. How can you ask the officials to give you good reviews! Besides, you still believe If you don’t believe in Zuo Fu Xingjun and You Bi Xingjun, which officials should believe in, then your promotion is just a dream!”
"Brother Bai, you are a sensible person, please tell me something..."
Next, Li Chunfeng heard that anxious voice continue.
"Someone doesn't believe in Buddhism now, so is there still time to go to the Taoist temple to offer incense to Mr. Zuo Fu Xingjun?"
"Um……"
For this question, that leisurely voice did not answer directly, but let out a long hum.Then soon Li Chunfeng heard the sound of money clattering from the next door, and then a satisfied voice sounded.
"Since County Magistrate Liu is so sincere, let me tell you the truth... Du, another close minister of the crown prince, will review his merits soon. This person is a follower of Lord You Bixing. If County Magistrate Liu wants If you want to pass the test safely, you can think of a way on this point!"
"Brother Bai, thank you very much..."
Just after the satisfied voice finished speaking, a voice of thanks came from the opposite side.
"If a certain can pass the test safely, it is all thanks to Brother Bai!"
"..."
If it is acceptable for the two scholars to complain about Li Chunfeng's complaints about Wenqu Xingjun's eldest grandson Wuji, then the words of these two lower-level officials are somewhat unacceptable to him!
A certain person thought that only a person like Zhangsun Wuji could do this kind of behavior of using power for personal gain, but he didn't expect that guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, would actually start doing this kind of thing...
This is the downfall of the world!
……
Half an hour later, the preoccupied Li Chunfeng reappeared in a sugar water shop near the Jinguang Gate on the west side of Chang'an. After drinking two bowls of sugar water and waiting for a quarter of an hour, he found the opportunity in divination... The returning middle-level general came rushing in from the door, and sat down on several seats behind Li Chunfeng.
"One bowl of sugar water per person!"
After ordering the sugar water, Li Chunfeng heard these generals chatting casually.
"Brother Zhou..."
A slender man in strong clothes said to a burly man on the side.
"It's still early, why don't you go to the Taiqing Palace in the south of the city together after you finish drinking the water, and give Wuqu Xingjun..."
Speaking of this, Li Chunfeng found out from the corner of his eye that the other party paused, and then continued.
"...And Tianyong Xingjun and the two gods offered incense, in order to thank the two gods for their protection, how about it?"
"Um……"
The burly man seemed to have the highest official position among these generals, he nodded after hearing the words.
"As it should be!"
When these generals were talking, Li Chunfeng looked over quietly, and found that when the slender man mentioned Wuqu Xingjun and Tianyong Xingjun, all the people present showed respect. Presumably these people should be the two of them. believers.
"Come!"
After the sugar water was served, a dark-skinned man sitting next to him immediately picked up the bowl with a bold face.
"Let me congratulate Brother Zhou for relying on his piety and bravery to win the favor of Wuqu Xingjun and his old man, and to become the Zhechong Captain of our Zhechong Mansion. You have honored your ancestors!"
After hearing his words, these people present took up the sugar water bowl at the same time.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhou!"
"Where where..."
The burly man also picked up the sugar water bowl and smiled happily.
"Actually, I just took a step forward. With the talents of all the virtuous brothers, plus the blessing of Wuqu Xingjun... and Tianyong Xingjun, everyone will have such a day sooner or later, drink victory!"
"Brother Zhou's auspicious words!"
These generals agreed with a grin, and then touched bowls with each other.
"Drink wins!"
After the auspicious words were finished, these generals started chatting casually again. From their conversations, Li Chunfeng discovered that it was not just them who were believers of Wuqu Xingjun and Tianyong Xingjun, but the whole university. Most of the school lieutenants of the twelve guards around Tang Dynasty and the middle and low-level officers above the brigade commander level have become believers of the two of them!
Based on this calculation, the two of them have become the patron saints of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
"Actually, it's a pity for Old Liu..."
In the process of chatting, a person who had been silent all the time suddenly spoke.
"He is the oldest general in our Zhechong Mansion, and he is unambiguous when fighting, but because of his stubbornness, he insists on saying that he believes in Buddhism, and even slanders Wuqu Xingjun and Tianyong Xingjun. It will end up being idle!"
"Be content, Old Liu is pretty good!"
The slender man curled his lips and said in a disdainful voice.
"Although he was idle, he hasn't committed any crimes. That Zhang in the Zhechong mansion next door to us is relying on his superiors to back him up, and he dares to say that it is useless to believe in Wuqu Xingjun and Tianyong Xingjun. He should believe it." The Buddha was right, and he even smashed the statue of Tianyong Xingjun. As a result, he couldn't even catch the idle cast, and he was directly dealt with by the military law, and he was kicked out with a military stick!"
"Not only!"
Another added.
"It is said that the superiors originally wanted to take his Yongyetian and put him in a cell. If Zhang's boss hadn't turned down his face and went to the East Palace to beg, I'm afraid he, Zhang, would be in a worse situation than he is now!"
"Deserved!"
Another young man snorted.
"What's so good about believing in Buddhism? My father also believed in Buddhism back then, but during the Daye years...huh! Anyway, now I'm looking for Wuqu Xingjun. He's a fair old man, and I believe in peace of mind."
"..."
After these generals left, Li Chunfeng's face was still full of confusion.
If Qingwei hadn't mentioned him, he wouldn't have known that Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong had jointly controlled the army's beliefs, and had already begun to liquidate the Buddhists in the army.
……
Next, relying on his superb divination techniques, Li Chunfeng found followers of the tongue-rolling star Zhang Liang in a flower building in Pingkangfang; he found followers of the Tianma star Hou Junji in a post station; A follower of Cheng Yaojin, the star of the five grains, was found in the field outside the city...
From the mouths of these believers, Li Chunfeng still found out that they suppressed Buddhism intentionally or unintentionally.
Finally, when the technique of divination led Li Chunfeng to a certain slum in Chang'an, and saw Emperor Ziwei show his holiness and send officials from Chang'an to help the poor, Li Chunfeng had completely calmed down.
"Okay! It seems that someone is wrong! Qing Wei is indeed right. From the moment he bestowed gods on the prince and his subjects, it is destined that these gods will definitely follow the people outside the Taoist sect because of their beliefs. The rest of the religions are at war!"

Another voice spoke again.
