Chapter 8 It is difficult for the poor to seek the Western Scripture
“I am tired of hearing those words, but my daughter heard that there were knights who got rid of the evil tiger in Qingping Mountain recently?”
Mention this matter , Zhang Qingyun’s expression immediately changed.
Seeing his father's face, Zhang Qing asked what happened.
Zhang Qingyun was also depressed, so he told Zhang Qing about his invitation to Jiang Sheng as a casual conversation.
After hearing this, Zhang Qing couldn't help laughing and said: "Father, you did something wrong indeed."
Zhang Qingyun was puzzled: "Why did you do something wrong as a father?"
Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Father, my daughter has heard a story book."
"It is said that in the far western continent of the Western Regions, there is the Buddhist holy land Daitianlong Temple. One day a novice monk from the Daitianlong Temple came down the mountain. He gave a lecture to the leader of a small country and received three liters of gold sand. "
"When he came back, the novice thought he would be praised by the Arhat, but the Arhat said that he had received less and sold the sutra at a lower price."< br>
"Father, why do you think the Arhat scolded the novice monk?"
"The Taoist priest is not a monk from our Qi country. Father, I am afraid that you have overestimated yourself and underestimated that Taoist priest. ”
Zhang Qingyun couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed when he thought about it.
Before, I didn’t feel anything in the family.
But after coming out, Zhang Qingyun also deeply felt the value of practitioners.
Among the monks who have cultivated themselves, except those casual cultivators with no background and ordinary Qi-training monks with no hope of promotion, who would miss the prosperity of the world?
Who would fear the princes and generals?
I originally thought about asking a monk to be my assistant, but now it seems that I am afraid that I have hated the Taoist named Jiang Sheng.
Zhang Qing asked again: "What did my father plan to do when he invited the Taoist priest to come?"
"Recently, my daughter heard that her father's administration was frequently blocked by the gentry and the common people. Could it be that his father planned to do it?" Use that Taoist priest as a helping hand?”
Zhang Qingyun sighed and said helplessly: "My father does have this idea."
"Qing'er, you also know that my father has just arrived. No matter in the county or in each town, it is very important to my father. "Those gentry and wealthy merchants control everything inside and outside the county, and the people only fear the river god and listen to the bewitchment of those gentry and wealthy merchants."
"Wouldn't it be like becoming a father if this goes on? The puppets in the hands of those gentry? "
Looking at his smart daughter, Zhang Qingyun suddenly asked: "Qing'er, in my opinion, what should I do next as a father? "
Zhang Qing first dismissed the servants waiting around, and after everyone left, she smiled and said: "Then it depends on what you really want to do, father."
Zhang Qingyun was very puzzled: " What does Qing'er mean by this? "
"Father, are you planning to destroy the River God Festival?" Zhang Qing asked.
Zhang Qingyun frowned slightly: "I have such a plan."
Zhang Qing asked: "The River God Festival, sacrificing six pairs of boys and girls every year can bring good weather for the year . As long as he continues, his father can survive his term in Qingshan County smoothly. Why must he destroy it? ”
Zhang Qingyun looked at his daughter and sighed quietly: "The River God indeed only needs to sacrifice six pairs of boys and girls every year to ensure smooth weather in Qingshan County."
"But the River God is not canonized by the imperial court. To inhale the incense of the common people and to sacrifice boys and girls, this is an obscene sacrifice!”
“Since he is an obscene sacrifice, he is not a god, but a demon!”
Said Zhang. Qingyun suddenly stood up: "Exchanging the care of six pairs of children under the age of six every year for the so-called good weather for a year is a natural thing for a father to do. It's not that he doesn't understand the principle of giving up the young to protect the older!"
“But if my father can kill the river god of the Taiping River, destroy his obscene worship, and regain the hearts of the people of Qingshan County to the court, this will be a great political achievement!”
"The entire thirteen counties of Dongjun are sitting back and watching the demons' obscene sacrifices, and if my father opposes the obscene sacrifices, then my father will be in the eyes of the court." Zhang Qing looked at her excited father and couldn't help but sigh.
She and her father are branches of the family, and have not been taken seriously by the family since childhood.
My father has no cultivation, but my mother has some cultivation, but even so, as a side branch, I am destined to work hard for the main family.
My father had suffered in the family for many years and was suppressed. My mother was also constantly instigated by the family and eventually lost her life.
Once the mother, a monk, was gone, the father and daughter were even more bullied.
These trivial matters could not catch the eyes of the family's senior officials, so their life was extremely difficult.
It was Zhang Qing’s mother who sacrificed her life to be able to come to Qingshan County to serve as a county magistrate.
Zhang Qingyun often told Zhang Qing that these side branches did not get much support from the main family. They finally got the opportunity. How far they could go could only depend on themselves.
Zhang Qing understood that his father was going to take this opportunity to make a comeback.
"Qing'er, do you know that you also have the qualifications to practice, but you have been replaced by the direct descendants of the master's family? The master's family doesn't want you to succeed in practice at all. They just want you to marry in the future to share the worries of the master's family!" Zhang Qingyun broke out again! A secret.
Seeing Zhang Qing's shock, Zhang Qingyun added: "Before becoming a father, I was controlled and powerless by others. As long as I am able to do what I am doing now, then you and my daughter will never be the same as before."
< br>"In the future, if the imperial court rewards you, Qing'er, you will also have resources to practice, and you will not be restricted from now on."
Zhang Qing sighed softly, seeing that she was once very high-spirited, but now she has a few gray hairs. The father felt a little distressed: "My daughter knew it would be like this."
Zhang Qingyun knew that his daughter was extremely intelligent and had the talent of being the number one scholar. He knew she had an idea when she saw her appearance.
"This is one of the few opportunities we have, Qing'er. If you have an idea, just say it. If you can do it as a father, you will definitely do it!"
"You and I must never be used as pawns again. "
Zhang Qing analyzed the situation, her thoughts turning quickly: "Our country of Qi has its own Taoist palace, and there are corresponding court monks in every state and county; and there are sects in every state and county. That cultivating family. "
"Their most important thing is to maintain stability in each place and eliminate demons and evil spirits."
Zhang Qingyun nodded, indeed.
Everyone in the counties of East County worships the so-called river god and offers boys and girls as gifts. This matter only needs to be reported to the county governor, who will then ask the local sects and spiritual families to take action.
Of course, the practicing families and sects in various places did not dare to violate the imperial system.
Just listen to Zhang Qing continue to say: "From the first two county magistrates to the present, it has been a full decade. If I say that I don't know anything about the situation of the sect family in Dongjun, who would believe it?"
"But the sects and the aristocratic families in Dongjun are indifferent to this. Why?"
Zhang Qingyun frowned deeply: "What's going on here? My father never thought about it.”
Zhang Qing looked at her father, the county's respected father, expressionlessly: "Father, this matter is of great importance, it is related to our lives!"
"If there is really any secret in it, we rashly Attacking the River God will not be worth the gain."
Zhang Qingyun drank tea silently and finally said: "We still have to do this, as long as we make it big enough and attract enough people. There will be a chance to stand up!"
Zhang Qing nodded: "If father insists on doing it, the Taoist priest from Qingping Mountain must be invited."
"Father, something needs to be done. Come with sincerity.”
