Chapter 390: Idle Chess and Raiders(1/2)
In the Baoxiang Palace City, Tang Sanzang and the Baoxiang King had decided to discuss that the 20,000 regular iron cavalry of the Baoxiang Kingdom would deal with the ordinary monks, Taoists, Buddhas and Taoists, and Tang Sanzang would be responsible for solving the problem.
The plan was decided, and nothing else said. Tang Sanzang was about to say goodbye, but suddenly he seemed to sense something, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Baoxiang Dongcheng, Weifu.
Since Huo Ji died and the collapse of the Huo Party, Wei Taiqiu was promoted and used by the king. He immediately knew how to see the color and sent the Wei family's ancestral home back to Wei Taiqiu.
This house was given by the Baoxiang Kingdom, and was built by Emperor Shizong. It can be said that it is extremely magnificent.
At this moment, in the elegant and quaint hall, the two of them sat separately.
One was Wei Taiqiu who had just left the palace, and the other was a tall young man with handsome facial features.
At this moment, the young man was asking Wei Taiqiu with an anxious look on his face: "Taiqiu! What's going on?"
This person was the friend who had been begging for Wei Taiqiu in front of Huo Ji, and was called Zhao Guangyang.
This person has many ways. When Huo Ji got the power, he was highly valued under Huo Ji's command.
Now that Huo Ji has fallen, this person has taken many ways, and coupled with the operation of the family behind him, he has escaped!
Although he was dismissed from his official position, it was only a matter of time before his official position was restored, and it was not impossible to even go to one or two levels.
But at this moment, he couldn't care about his own affairs. Only by solving the family affairs first can the family solve his own affairs for him.
Wei Taiqiu glanced at his friend with complicated eyes.
This friend's personal morality is not the case yet, but he really has nothing to say to himself.
He saved his life. Although he refused his relief when he was in trouble, the store where he worked in a coolie was the property of his friend's family. Every time he did the lightest and cheapest work and got the most wages... Of course, these were also what he only found out later.
In the past few days, the national master Shangfu and the king are preparing to work together to clean up temples and Taoist temples across the country. He is the official responsible for feedback on the progress of this matter to the king and the national master Shangfu.
I don’t know who spoke too much, but I actually let my friend know.
He came to the door and asked himself to advise the king and the master Shangfu to stop investigating the Buddha and Taoist families, at least not too anxious, and to proceed slowly.
In terms of personal gain, this friend helps him and lives.
On the Duke, he did not agree with the emperor's decree. The so-called rabbits are still biting people when they are anxious. The Buddha and Taoist families have strong foundations and are powerful among the people. They shout at them and shout at them to kill them. I am afraid they will be bad!
Both public and private, Wei Taiqiu agreed to Zhao Guangyang's request without reason to refuse.
But the result is...
"Oh, Taiqiu, you said, you must be anxious to death!" Looking at Wei Taiqiu who was stunned and ecstatic, Zhao Guangyang couldn't help but press Wei Taiqiu's shoulders and shook them.
Wei Taiqiu, who was traveling outside the sky, suddenly woke up and said with a wry smile: "Don't shake it, it makes me dizzy... I also made a suggestion, but... the king and the national master Shangfu would not listen!"
After getting the result from Wei Taiqiu's mouth, Zhao Guangyang took a few steps back in a daze and sat on the chair.
The Zhao family is also considered a great clan in Baoxiang City.
From Zhao Guangyang to the next four generations, there were people from the Zhao family who served as officials in the center of Baoxiang Kingdom.
It can be called a family of Zhongming Ding Food, with a famous family. I don’t know how many people envy it. Everyone says that the Zhao family’s ancestors have a strong fortune, so that the family has such a grand occasion.
But only the real core clan of the Zhao family knows that the bullshit ancestral fortune is prosperous!
This is all because the Zhao family has a big and thick leg.
The ancestors of the Zhao family were just a down-and-out little businessman.
Later, he met a Taoist priest who was seriously injured on the road. The ancestor of the Zhao family developed kindness and cured the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was grateful for the life-saving grace of the ancestors of the Zhao family, so he promised the ancestors of the Zhao family to protect the Zhao family from generation to generation.
So he first gave the Zhao ancestors' divine pill. After taking it, the Zhao ancestors immediately remembered it and were quick-witted.
He also gave him a large sum of gold and silver, and also pulled the ancestors of the Zhao family to meet all kinds of powerful people. Therefore, the ancestors of the Zhao family had many wealthy and powerful friends, and their reputation became greater and greater. Finally, with the recommendation of these friends, they entered the official career and their officials became greater and greater.
But the ancestor of the Zhao family did not become arrogant because of this, but instead became more and more banished against the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest never treated the Zhao family unfairly. With the help of the ancestors of the Zhao family, he established a magnificent Taoist temple and established a Taoist sect. There were more and more disciples under his command, and these disciples provided help to the Zhao family, whether in terms of financial resources or military strength.
As a result, the sect established by this Taoist priest became tighter and tighter with the Zhao family.
Now, as far as Zhao Guangyang knows.
Nearly two-thirds of the land in the Zhao family are placed under the sect established by the Taoist priest. Every year, the group of Taoist priests will be given approximately 30% of the tax on land taxes.
These Taoist priests continuously provided several ancestors of the Zhao family with elixirs that could prolong their lives.
It also protects the Zhao family's business and eliminates the need for many local snakes.
It is with the help of the Taoist sect that the Zhao family grew up step by step to the behemoth today.
When Huo Ji was in power, the Zhao family was unwilling to join Huo Ji, and they did not want to have a quarrel with Huo Ji.
So he pushed Zhao Guangyang out and fooled Huo Ji.
Although this proud and powerful minister was furious, he could only swallow his anger after looking at the Zhao family's size!
All of this can be said to be given by Taoist sect...
Now, the king wants to abolish Buddha, Taoism, and all Taoist temples and temples in the entire Baoxiang Kingdom!
This... is breaking the Zhao family's roots!
No, this is breaking the roots of all the aristocratic families in the entire Baoxiang country.
The Zhao family's rise is not just this family, no semicolon, but a phenomenon in the entire Baoxiang Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyang was in a state of confusion. He hurriedly bid farewell to Wei Taiqiu and rushed home.
The Zhao family’s old house is in a remote courtyard.
An old man in plain clothes was concentrating on the flower garden, but Zhao Guangyang only dared to stand far away and did not dare to get close.
After a long time, the old man stretched his waist comfortably, and then he spoke slowly: "Guangyang, what's going on?"
Zhao Guangyang felt a bitter face when he heard this, but he still trotted forward, bowed his head and apologized: "The grandson is useless...thing is not done!"
"Well? Isn't Wei Taiqiu your life-saving friend? Why? He didn't agree?" The old man narrowed his eyes and spoke very lightly, but the murderous intent in it made Zhao Guangyang tremble.
He quickly explained: "It was not Taiqiu who refused to agree. In fact, his meaning was the same as us. He did not agree to attack Buddhism and Taoism. However, the national teacher... Shangfu and the king..."
Zhao Guangyang told the whole story.
After hearing this, the old man slapped the copper-skin shower in his hand and threw the blue brick floor!
"National Master Shangfu? Bullshit! A witch who came from the world who was not sure where he actually named him Shangfu, and he deserved it... I think, our king is also ill and confused!"
Zhao Guangyang next to him turned pale and said quickly: "Oncestor, be careful of your words!"
"This is in our Zhao family's old house! What are you afraid of!" The old man glared at his eyes, a little dissatisfied with the timid behavior of this junior whom he admired quite a lot.
"Okay, you go down first! Don't worry about this!" After a while, the old man gave Zhao Guangyang a depressed advice, and then went into his study without looking back.
Zhao Guangyang looked at the shady back of his ancestors, a little worried.
This ancestor suffered from an emergency when he was young and was rescued by a Taoist priest from the Taoist sect. Since then, he has been extremely friendly to the Taoist sect.
Later, several major businesses between the Zhao family and the Taoist sect were all facilitated by him.
The key is that this ancestor is extremely stubborn. Since he told Zhao Guangyang not to care about this matter anymore, it means that he is ready to take action himself.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyang couldn't help but sigh. Is the Zhao family really going to go to the point of opposing the king?
In the study, the old man sat in front of the big desk by default, staring at the desk, and slowly rose in the exquisite red copper incense burner, and the incense lingered incense.
Although he looked down upon Tang Sanzang in front of Zhao Guangyang, he knew in his heart that Tang Sanzang was definitely not a warlock.
On that day in Wanzi Mountain, the earth-shaking movements were a celestial phenomenon!
The Zhao family had already received news that the celestial phenomena were very likely to be created by the national master Shangfu. In other words, this national master Shangfu is very likely to be an immortal, an arhat or the like!
The king's cry of "Shangfu" is really a big profit!
But even the national master Shangfu is the Buddha, the Heavenly Lord descended to earth, but if he wants to seize food from the Zhao family, then his old bones are unreasonable, so he will meet Shangfu!
Thinking of this, the old man became more and more worried.
In fact, when the king wanted to rectify Buddhism and the news of the Taoist families came, he had discussed with several major families who started their own business by relying on Buddhism how to deal with the king's edict.
But what surprised the old man was that the patriarchs of these big families seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and refused.
They also expressed in unison that they had the dream of the future Buddha of Buddhism, saying that the king of Baoxiang is now very lucky and should not conflict head-on. They should be patient for a while, and then talk about others.
The old man almost laughed at the time!
The future Buddha?
What kind of old age has this been?
The old man is not a Buddhist, but he understands politics.
Now it is obviously the Tathagata as the master of all Buddhas, the future Buddha? Let’s wait for the future.
Is that person's words reliable?
Still enduring for a while?
The knife is so terrible that it is around your neck. If you have to endure it for a while, your head will fall off.
To be continued...
