"My son, can I still trust you?"

Zhang Ting was sitting on a bed, and when he said this, there were two people kneeling in front of him.

The commander of Jinyi's personal guards, Zhang Liecheng, Marquis of Yecheng.Zhang Lieming, deputy commander of Jinyi's personal guards.

Zhang Lieming put his head on the ground, wishing he wasn't there at all.

Zhang Liecheng was so terrified that he almost collapsed on the ground. The words "my son" in Zhang Tie's mouth must be referring to him, not Zhang Lieming.

"The son's death penalty! But the loyalty to the adults has never changed for half a day.

Fourteen years ago, it was the adults who gave the child who was about to starve to death in the desert in the river a bite of food. Since then, the son-in-law swore to serve the adults with his life. "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liecheng smiled wryly, "A child who can be bullied by everyone has become the adopted son of the most respected in the world, and enjoys a wealth that he never dared to imagine. How could he betray his father?"

Zhang Tie stared at Zhang Liecheng, and Zhang Liecheng also faced Zhang Tie's scrutiny calmly.

It wasn't that Zhang Ting was meddling, but what happened just now. For an emperor like him, it was indeed a bit too horrifying.

Zhang Ting once confidently thought that he was a rare hero in the world, and everyone around him had received great favor from him, so his safety should be foolproof.

But today, the appearance of Master Cixian broke the protective shell that Zhang Ting was so proud of.

A monk, or a foreign monk of unknown origin, was able to appear only a few feet away from him without his knowledge.

If it was an assassin holding a crossbow, Zhang Ting would confess today!
Thinking of this, the anger in Zhang Tie's heart rose monstrously.

Thinking about it, Oda Nobunaga was so aggrieved and killed in the Honnoji Temple back then.

fuck you!If it weren't for the Central Plains Buddhism's expectation of him, Zhang Tie, they would have made a change in Xiangji Temple just now.

Zhang Tingji pointed at Zhang Liecheng, "Up to now, you are still flaunting your filial piety and loyalty, but your father almost died on the spot because of your negligence."

Hearing Zhang Tie utter the word negligence, Zhang Liecheng finally cried out, with tears gushing from his eyes.

"My son is guilty of death, please be punished by my lord."

How to avoid such a thing from happening again, Zhang Ting had a lot of thoughts in his mind when Master Cixian left.

The best way, of course, is to completely drive away all the guards other than the Han people, leaving only the guards of all ethnic groups in Hexi who believe in the Six Dharma School.

They regard Zhang Ting as a true god, and their interests are completely consistent with Zhang Ting's, so they will not be infiltrated by the Central Plains Buddhism at all.

But Zhang Tie rejected this option with great perseverance.

This step must never go any further.

If things go on like this, those pro-armies in Longyou, Hexi who believe in the Six Dharma Schools will really become Yeniceri.

Moreover, the sects at this time, or conflicts of ideas, are still very intense, especially the cultural conflict between Confucianism and Buddhism with a touch of Tianzhu, which can be said to be unyielding.

The struggle between the two sides even led to the extermination of Buddhism in Huichang 100 years ago. It can be seen from the fierce attitude towards Buddhism of Han Yu, a Confucian leader who supported the extermination of Buddhism.

Zhang Ting has not yet unified the world this week. If too many religious elements are tied to his body at this time, he will immediately disagree with the Confucianism of Zibuyu, strange power and chaotic gods, and it will hit hard the sage king Zhang is trying to build. main image.

Zhang Ting heard people say before that Confucian culture is the choice of all Chinese people, and the exclusive respect for Confucianism in the past dynasties is just to follow the people's hearts.

At that time, Zhang Ting sneered at this, thinking that it was completely nonsense, but now it seems that it is not completely unreasonable.

Since Buddhism came from Tianzhu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the religious (philosophical) contradictions on the land of China have been very sharp. In all dynasties, there is no shortage of religious followers who want to establish a Buddhist kingdom on the ground.

The reason for this is largely because the original Buddhist thought was completely foreign to India, and naturally it was incompatible with the Chinese culture that had been integrated and passed on as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

So who is resisting Buddhism?Not Taoism, not Legalism, not to mention Mohism.

It is Confucianism that resists Buddhism, and finally discards the chaff and preserves the essence of the Indian culture brought by Buddhism, and takes the essence and discards the dross.

Only Confucians who advocate the unity of man and nature, practice secular government, respect ancestor worship, and set KPIs for gods and Buddhas can carry this banner.

At this time, it is the critical period of this integration, and it is also the reason why after the Sanwu Yizong exterminated the Buddha in the middle Zhou Shizong, later generations no longer need to exterminate the Buddha.

Because after that, Buddhism was fully integrated into Chinese culture, and the three schools of thought of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were basically united in the general direction, and there were no major religious conflicts in the entire Chinese culture.

Zhang Ting is also a man of the secular world, and he can only follow the choice of history—to promote Confucianism to the high altar, and complete the historical mission undertaken by Zhou Shizong Guo Rong in history, but now he can only complete it.

"Saint!" Li Xiaojie walked in quickly from outside.

"Yu Hou An Sizhong, the third capital flying tiger general of You Shen Wei Wei Zuo Battalion who was on duty last night, suddenly disappeared, and the two relatives of Zuo Shen Wei Wei disappeared with him.

An epidemic broke out in General Flying Tiger's camp, and more than 30 people couldn't get out of bed. "

"Sure enough, it's the Right Godly Guard!" Zhang Tie's face was ashen. He thought for a long time, and the pro-army might have problems. Qianniuwei, and the left and right leopard guards composed of Hedong soldiers and Youyun heroes.

Because only the soldiers of the Six Guards were formed by Zhang Ting after he entered the Central Plains. In addition, the Central Plains, Youyun, and Hedong have always promoted Buddhism, and they are most likely to be infiltrated by the Central Plains Buddhism.

Among the three pro-armies who followed him to Xiangji Temple, You Yu Lin Wei and Zuo Long Xiang Wei were all from Longyou, Hexi.

The Zhonglang of You Yu Linwei will be Li Cunhui, and the Zhonglang of Zuo Longxiangwei will be Panquan. These are Zhang Tie's confidantes, and they will never be bribed.

Then there is only You Shenweiwei left. More than [-]% of the soldiers are pro-army composed of the former Jin imperial guards, and there may be problems.

"Does anyone else know about this?" Zhang Tie asked in a low voice.

Li Xiaojie quickly shook his head, "You Shen Weiwei Zhonglang General and Uncle Anyuan Jiao Jixun have already blocked the news, and now they are kneeling outside the door to plead guilty, except for Uncle Anyuan's personal guards, no one else knows."

For Li Xiaojie, Zhang Tie trusted him very much, he was even more trusted by Zhang Teng than Zhang Liecheng and Zhang Lieming.

Zhang Liecheng has flaws in his character, he cares too much about power and reputation, under the current circumstances, he may hide something in order not to lose points in front of Zhang Tie.

Zhang Lieming may be influenced by the Zhang family in Shazhou, the clan.

Only Li Xiaojie, who was born in Yuanzhou Dangxiang, his grandfather Li Zhongchao and father Li Siyi were the first group of old people who followed Zhang Tie into the pass.

Although they were coerced to follow the Guiyi Army into Guanzhong to quell the chaos, Li Zhongchao and his son completely surrendered after the war.

Now Li Zhongchao's party has moved to Lingzhou where the water and grass are luxuriant, and there are more than [-] officers in the clan who are above the Marquis of General Yu.

Li Xiaojie himself was taken to Liangzhou by Zhang Ting when he was 11 years old, and he has been living with Zhang Ting all the time. He has been raised in the palace longer than Yang Jiye.

Therefore, at this time, Li Xiaojie is the most reliable.

"Call the Imperial Physician to order Zhao Jinfang to come, and ask him to personally take someone to investigate the disease of Youshen Weiwei. As for Jiao Jixun."

Zhang Ting was a little undecided, because he didn't trust You Shenweiwei now, and who knew if Jiao Jixun was involved in anything.

"Uncle! You must immediately summon Uncle Anzhou to appease you. Perhaps their intention is not to test your attitude towards Buddhism, but to punish you!"

Seeing that Zhang Ting hesitated, Zhang Lieming, who had been sticking his head on the floor tiles, immediately lowered his voice and shouted.

Zhang Ting glared at him angrily, "What is your identity? Do you know what Zhuxin is?"

Zhang Lieming was so frightened that cold sweat fell off his face, but he still trembled and said to Zhang Ting: "How can there be hair if there is no skin? My nephew's surname is Zhang!"

Zhang Tie withdrew his gaze from staring at Zhang Lieming, closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"Zhang Liecheng immediately went back to Tokyo to sort through the Jinyi Guards that have connections with Buddhism. Those who believe in Buddhism must also be found out, but it must be done in secret, so as not to startle the snake.

Zhang Lieming, go to Chang'an City, find Luo Yu'er, and ask him to bring Changguo Town.

Xiaojie will send Jiao Jixun to come in, and then send someone to inform Li Gu and Zhao Pu. "

Jiao Jixun felt that his feet weighed ten thousand catties. Li Xiaojie didn't know An Sizhong's background, but he knew it very well.

Just based on this An's surname, we know that An Sizhong must be from Shatuo, but he is just a fake Shatuo in the three tribes of Daibei.

The four generations of An Sizhong's ancestors all ate the food of warriors. His great-grandfather was also a personal attendant of Li Guochang, the father of King Li Jin.

Now that such a big event has happened, the relationship between the sage, Daibei, and Hedong Wuren is a bit delicate.If all the pro-army and forbidden soldiers from Daibei and Hedong warriors were involved because of this matter, it would be really troublesome.

Jiao Jixun, who was in a mess in his mind, followed a few guards in brocade clothes to the inner hall, and soon saw the emperor standing in the room, the emperor was talking to Li Gu and Zhao Pu.

As soon as Jiao Jixun came in, the emperor saw him, there was no thunderous anger, and of course he didn't let Jiao Jixun be taken down immediately, and he didn't even blame him.

"The results are here! Don't be nervous. I know this matter has nothing to do with you. Someone is here to drive us apart. Sit down and tell me, where did An Sizhong come from? I'm not mean to him."

When Jiao Jixun heard this, tears came down in a burst of tears.What a good emperor!Encountering such a great danger, she didn't even blame him, and could still be so kind to Yan Ruise.

You know, Zhang Shengren is not a king like Shi Chonggui who doesn't have much power in his hands.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Shi Chonggui encountered this kind of thing, not to mention massacres, it is certain that a group of people will die.

"My minister, Jiao Jixun, is ashamed of his trust in the saint. He deserves death! But I must say that Ze Duo, a soldier in the army, respects the saint very much. It is rare for someone like An Sizhong to harbor evil intentions."

"You!" Zhang Tie couldn't help but reached out and tapped Jiao Jixun a few times.

This famous official who was known as a Confucian general in history and made great achievements many times has always been used as a tool, which is probably related to his temper.

Is this something you can say with a body of guilt?If you say it's rare, then you have to bear the responsibility. If there is another An Sizhong, Zhang Tie can cut off Jiao Jixun's head reasonably and legally based on this sentence.

But such a brave and capable general is exactly what Zhang Ting wants.

Moreover, after receiving Zhang Lieming's reminder, Zhang Tie thought it over.

He realized that Buddhism alone must not have such great energy, at least when they were rectified by Chai Rong in history, they did not have such resistance.

And just as both Zhang Lieming and Jiao Jixun are aware, these people are poking at the two sensitive words Hedong and Daibei in every move. I am afraid they really want to arouse Zhang Tie's dissatisfaction with the non-Hexi Longyou pro-army and forbidden army. alert.

Therefore, although he was very angry in his heart, and at the same time he did have some worries and distrust, Zhang Tie still forcibly suppressed all this.

He sighed helplessly, and continued to say to Jiao Jixun: "In the future, don't speak so arbitrarily. Do you know that the two words you just said may make you lose your head in the future."

Jiao Jixun also realized that what he said just now was not what he should have said.

But after hearing Zhang Ting's words of not treating him as an outsider, he was so moved that he couldn't help himself, and the concerns that had just arisen in his heart were immediately forgotten by him.

"With the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven, there will naturally be such outspoken ministers as ministers.

Although An Sizhong was born in Daibei, since his father, few members of the family have been able to hold high positions.

Now that he is rebelling alone, he really cannot be equated with Daibei and Hedong Wuren. This is a trick set up by the traitor, please be aware of it. "

"Huh!" Zhang Ting snorted coldly, "If I didn't know clearly, I would have ordered you to be killed right now, and the cleaning of the army would have started long ago.

Tell me, what does the decline of the An Sizhong family have to do with me?
As soon as he surrendered, I rescued him from the Khitans, and then promoted him to the position of Marquis Yu, a general in the army. Why did he do this? "

As Zhang Ting spoke, he pulled Jiao Jixun up with his own hands, and Jiao Jixun hurriedly said: "An Sizhong's family is actually a descendant of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. They believe in Buddhism most. It is said that An's mother cut off her right arm five years ago to give alms."

"I'm sick!" Zhang Tie scolded angrily with a livid face.

There is a very disgusting trend in Buddhism at this time, that is, believers like to use self-harm to show their devotion to Buddhism.

Usually, the face is scalded with hot oil, the face and hands are burned with fire, and even arms and even thighs are cut off. The more cruel the method, the more devout it can be.

And temples often encourage this kind of practice. Even when believers cut off their hands and feet to donate, temples will give him food and raise him up, thinking that he has Buddha nature. There are more believers.

And this kind of practice further stimulated the comparison among believers.

Some are not even believers, and they risked self-mutilation simply to feed the temple.

Although this An Sizhong family has declined, he is still a member of Daibei and Hedong warriors.

Even if Zhang Zhou is not the traditional Shatuo regime in Hedong, Zhang Zhou's pro-military general Yuhou, although he cannot be said to be rich and powerful, is by no means an ordinary family.

For this kind of family, An's mother cut off her right arm fiercely to give alms. It can be seen that this is true piety.

It is not surprising that the sons educated by such crazy believer mothers are bought by Buddhism.

"Saint, I found out through investigation that An Sizhong's family used to have a large manor in Daizhou, Hedong. After the imperial court recovered Daizhou, An Sizhong wanted to take back the property, but he couldn't produce any evidence. In the end, he only took back a piece of manor. More than a hundred acres, An Sizhong often complains." This time it was Li Xiaojie who spoke.

Zhang Ting nodded. If there are religious reasons and economic reasons, then they will work together.

"This is all dereliction of duty by you. A dignified military general Yuhou who is always by my side not only has such strange things in his family, but also often complains. No one takes it seriously, hmph!"

Still angry, Zhang Tie stepped forward and kicked Zhang Liecheng, knocking him to the ground who was kneeling on the ground.

"Release Zhang Liecheng to Marquis of Yecheng as Uncle Yecheng, and he will be fined for one year. Zhang Lieming and Li Xiaojie will also be fined for one year each."

As he said that, Zhang Ting looked at Jiao Jixun, who immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "I would like to deprive you of the title and resign from the position of General of the Right God Wei Wei Zhonglang."

"I have resigned, let me do things alone? If I run away when I have something to do, what will it look like?
Jiao Jixun was removed from the post of Zhonglang General, the right god and Weiwei, and ordered to be the commanding officer of Zhonglang General, and deprived of all ranks and honors.

Take good care of You Shen Weiwei for me, don't make any more mistakes, and if there are more mistakes, there is nothing I can do.

As for what you are worried about, you can rest assured that I will not be fooled by those people. This matter will stop at An Sizhong, and I will never expand it. "
