Chapter 438 Preaching
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was listening seriously, Gongsun Sheng continued: "I discussed it with Qiao Daoqing and Fan Rui. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's distinguish them in clothes. Heaven. Shi Laochen, senior mage , those with outstanding Buddhist scriptures wear purple robes. The superior mages can wear red robes, and the others can use them for casting spells, performing rituals, praying, etc. with permission. The rest can use cyan robes for praying and wishing birthdays. green The robes are also worn by Taoist priests, Taoist priests, and believers. The materials of the robes should also be distinguished according to the size of the temple gate. The number of Taoist priests must also be limited. For example, in Daguan, there are three high-level magicians, five high-level magicians, thirty middle-level magicians, sixty low-level magicians, and a number of Taoist priests. Those who have merit will increase in number, and those who have no merit will decrease in number. It changes every three to five years. If a Taoist temple has outstanding achievements, it can be promoted to a middle Taoist temple, and the number of high-achieving Taoist priests can be increased accordingly. Those who have no merit in Taoist temples and such temples must also be restricted."
"Incense in a Taoist temple The money is recorded in the register every day and is redistributed by the Taoist Alliance according to the size of each Taoist temple. After excluding the basic consumption of maintaining the Taoist temple, the Taoist alliance will naturally control it according to the merits of each Taoist temple. Buddhist temples pay attention to the equality of all living beings, and there has always been no hierarchy in Buddhist robes. Junior disciples can ask Yuantong, Yuanguang, Guanghui and others to set regulations. "
"The two Taoist temples in Xianfang are both small mountain gates. As I originally thought, little The Taoist temple master is just a middle-level mage wearing a blue robe. These two Taoist temple masters can wear red robes before they become immortals, and the number of lower-level mage in green robes can also be increased by four. "
"In addition, both Buddhism and Taoism have secret techniques for refining elixirs and making utensils, which most consume gold and silver. In the case of Taoist elixirs, even if a lot of gold and silver are wasted, they may not be refined, and it is very expensive to practice. Taoists who practice alchemy have a lot of desire for money. In every village and city, there are also restrictions on the number of monks who can do things. Taoist priests in this state must have blue robes. Only the master can preside over it. The fifth-level robe is the fifth-level Taoist priest in the state. "
"In addition to the five levels, the monks and monks in each temple can also exchange for their contributions and receive some rewards. . As for those who are practicing asceticism, they don’t need to worry about external things, just maintain their basic needs.”
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Zhen naturally wants to have control over Buddhism and Taoism. This is why Gongsun Sheng and others were asked to investigate the Taoist temples.
Preventing criminals from hiding in temples and cultivating cults is just a superficial reason. After all, Zhao Zhen had read history books and already knew that there were many people who relied on preaching to rebel, so others could not say anything about it.
On the other hand, Taoist temples uphold kindness and are believed by the people, which can also stabilize the people's minds.
Buddhism cultivates the afterlife, Taoism cultivates this life, and Confucianism cultivates its own body.
These three have their own uses for Zhao Zhen. Needless to say, scholars are indispensable in governing a place. If there are really ghosts and monsters in the border area, the two will naturally be indispensable. Even if there are no ghosts, it is still good to appease the people.
Zhao Zhen said: "What senior brother said is that this Taoist alliance will be implemented according to what senior brother said. I will ask Yuantong, Guanghui and others to determine the Buddhist affairs and promulgate them together."
While they were talking, they saw Zhao Yuanli walking in. Zhao Zhen asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Yuanli replied: "Wang Zhixian of Fan County sent someone to deliver urgent official documents."
"Please come in quickly."
After a while, Zhao Yuanli led a deliveryman in.
After seeing the gift, the messenger took out an official document and handed it over a book.
Zhao Zhen checked the sealing mud and opened the official document. After reading it, he couldn't help but be stunned. Passing the official document to Gongsun Sheng aside, he said: "Senior Brother Gongsun, please take a look at it later."
Gongsun Sheng and the others looked at each other and looked at each other.
Gongsun Sheng said: "I am ashamed that we have not discovered this group of cultists."
"Senior brother, there is no need to be like this. Didn't Wang Lun not discover it in Fan County? It's still Kong Changsheng, Two brothers, Kong Weisheng, went to the countryside to study for their talents The clues were found so deeply that they could not be discovered without going deep into the village. Fortunately, Brother Chao Gai had already made arrangements, and Liu Xinmin was also very capable, and he was able to compile his own "The Treasure Book of the Heavenly King's Savior". "." Zhao Zhen said, holding up the book in his hand.
Gongsun Sheng took the book, flipped through it and said: "It's just a creation of some famous people such as Patriarch Po Kong and Patriarch Dakong, etc., compiled into seven words, like a song but not a song, like a song. The poem is not poetry, and the sentences are very vulgar."< br>
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Brother, don't underestimate this book. There are many ignorant people in the villagers in the mountains. If there are people with evil intentions who add fuel to the fire, it will cause a big disturbance."
After that, he said to the postman: "You have been working hard all the way, so go down and rest for a day. Return to Fan County tomorrow with the official documents."
"Yuanli, arrange for this brother to go down and rest, and treat him with good wine and meat." "
After hearing this, the postman bowed and went down with Zhao Yuanli.
Zhao Zhen then continued: "Now Liu Xinmin is preaching, and Wang Lun has sent people to join the religion to secretly inquire about the situation. Tomorrow I will lead the Zuo Yong Cavalry Camp, the Right Yong Cavalry Camp and the capture bandit camp. Let's go to Fan County to meet Liu Xinmin. Xu Rongfu recommended him the day before yesterday. He is in Fan County and I just want to go see him."
Gongsun Sheng said: "I will go with the official tomorrow. once "Let's go and see how this Liu Xinmin preaches and hides it so well." Qiao Daoqing said: "Official, in my opinion, this Liu Xinmin is just a money-grubbing person. You read what is said in the book: Everything is the same. False, because all appearances are false, so those who have wealth must not be stingy with money and silk, and must sincerely donate it to the King of Heaven. The King of Heaven will be happy to bless you, prolong your life, and ascend to the Heavenly Palace after death. "
"Those who have no wealth and wealth, and their bodies should also be exposed to falsehood. They must sacrifice themselves before the king of heaven, offer the goods they can get, and be driven by the leader. The king of heaven will also be happy."
At that moment, Zhao Zhen wrote a military order and sent Zhao Ji to various places.
On the second day, after packing up, Zhao Zhen mounted the Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse, took a group of sergeants and the postmen who carried the message, and rushed to Fan County in a mighty manner.
In the county seat of Fan County, Wang Lun received the news from the postman in advance and took Yan Liu and a group of county officials to meet Zhao Zhen three miles outside the city. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen asked: "Where is Chao Tuan's training envoy?"
"My lord, Chao Tuanlian and his men are pretending to be marching and practicing. They have now stopped at Longwangzhuang Township, adjacent to Zhangzhuang Township." Wang Lun quickly replied.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded and asked: "Has it been found out? How many households in the villages have joined the religion?"
Wang Lun said: "Officials, we have found out. Fortunately, Sihu The two brothers Kong Changsheng, the Kongmu officer of the Military Affairs Department, discovered early that this Liu Xinmin was not from this place. He had only been in Zhangzhuang Township for more than a month to worship a Shinto called Duobao Tianwang. The leader who was called the Heavenly King is now preaching in seven villages in Zhangzhuang Township. After hearing this, Zhao Zhen frowned and asked, "Isn't there anyone in the seven villages who has complained?"
< br>Wang Lun heard this and said quickly: "My lord, this village spans both sides of the Yellow River. These seven villages are all on the east bank of the Yellow River. Anyone who wants to report the news will probably be killed."
< br>
Zhao Zhen frowned even more after hearing this. He asked someone to take the map and asked Wang Lun to point on the map.
After looking at it, Zhao Zhen nodded and only ordered the army to enter the camp and rest.
After setting up the sergeants and horses, Zhao Zhen summoned Wang Lun and asked: "Can this Liu Xinmin know magic?"
"According to the spies' report, this guy used Fuluan to pray for the saint and curse water. He cures diseases and transforms people into figures by the light of cigarettes. He claims to be able to tell life, death, misfortune and blessings, and the seven villages have been moved by him. "
"The lower official also inquired about the binding law set by this guy: Anyone who converts to Christianity must make a strong oath before the Heavenly King. If anyone betrays the faith and leaves, he will go to the eighteen major hells after death, the Mountain of Knives. The sword tree, the fire snake, the iron dog, the sufferings are endless, and there are many names and colors such as the enlightenment, the magpie nest reunion, the dragon girl offering beads, etc. "
"There are now Liu Xinmin's notices posted in these seven villages. The spies secretly posted one here. Please take a look at it."
Zhao Zhen took the notice and saw that it read: Maintain the legal realm and unify the law. Liu Yiyu, the minister in charge of the case of the Heavenly King who regulates yin and yang, controls the land and water resources of the world, and has many treasures as he wishes, the scholars and the people know:
He who converts to the orthodox religion will be blessed. Those who believe in the King of Heaven will go to Longhua’s meeting. This leader, following the personal instruction of King Chrysostom of Heaven, helps to save all sentient beings, so that the whole world can achieve peace and happiness together. This is the original wish to return to the King of Heaven and save all sentient beings.
I have been teaching almost as long as today since I started teaching. Moreover, how can a good man who believes in a woman not believe in the ear of the King of Heaven? Now, I am entrusted with the instructions of the King of Heaven, and I am entrusted with the teachings of this leader, to persuade you and the people to change their minds and do good. How can you not believe in the King of Heaven? If you die, you will fall into hell.
All the common people need to fill in the name list in person, and indicate the age, appearance, age, appearance, appearance, appearance, etc. of the men, women, and family members one by one. On the day when my teachings were completed, Deir and others returned to the King of Heaven to absolve themselves of the sin of poverty and grant them a hundred years of blessings.
For those who do not believe in the King of Heaven and run away with their wives and children, the King of Heaven will be so angry that they will die in poverty and be relegated to the eternal hell, where they will never be able to regain their human body for eternity, and their regrets will never reach their ears.
Qieqie special edict.
After watching it, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. The people were so stupid and willing to incite. He said: "The people are innocent and should be pardoned. This Liu Xinmin has ulterior motives. After being captured alive, he needs to be executed in front of the people so that the people can see his face clearly. In addition to Liu Xinmin, are there any other powerful people?"
"I don't know where this guy recruited four people, all with several kilograms of strength. They were named Protector Generals, and the leader was called Zhang Chi. He made a thick iron The second brother, Ba Zeng, made a nine-tooth nail. The third brother, Ji Guang, made a five-pronged steel fork. In addition to these four, the fourth brother, Lu Duo, made a bullhead. The teachers are distributed in various villages, each with more than a dozen key members, and the rest of the villagers are mostly watching. "
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen knew what he was doing and sent Wang Lun away. Return to the city.
On the second day, Zhao Zhen and his troops met up with Chao Gai and Han Bolong in Longwangzhuang Township. The two armies crossed the Yellow River and went to various villages to search for the backbone of the religious people. Then they all went to Jiaozhuang where Liu Xinmin was located.
