Daxia Wensheng

Chapter 163 The Eight Resentful Monks, Go to Kyoto to set up a Longevity Card for the Huns' chief offender?
at the banquet.

Gu Jinnian was having a great time.

But throughout the banquet, Gu Jinnian didn't talk about articles or politics.

It's purely to meet people and have a meal.

Even when facing Yu Yi and He Zhai, Gu Jinnian didn't talk too much, the imperial examination was about to take place, and as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, Gu Jinnian didn't want to say anything, so as not to affect their performance in the imperial examination.

Even though their luck is like a rainbow, Gu Jinnian still upholds the justice in his heart.

After dinner.

Gu Jinnian also bid farewell.

Everyone sent them off one after another.

After Gu Jinnian left, He Zhai couldn't help but speak.

"I never thought that Master Hou would be so respectful to the corporal. He is worthy of being a saint in future generations."

He Zhai spoke, admiring Gu Jinnian's quality.

"The person who can be appointed by Kong Sheng is naturally not bad. Although I am a few years older than Lord Hou, Yu feels that Lord Hou understands the word "government" better than Yu."

Yu Yi spoke up and praised Gu Jinnian involuntarily.

"Brother Yu, if there is nothing wrong, the two of us can continue to have a drink or two?"

He Zhai spoke up and invited Yu Yi to continue drinking.

"it is good."

Yu Yi nodded and agreed.

in this way.

By the next day.

The heads of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Hua and Li Anzhi, have arrived.

In a few days it will be the day of the imperial examination. They came here to inform them of two things.

"Master Hou, Yang Shangshu wants you to prepare the imperial examination questions, and the imperial examination will be in a few days, so there should be no delay."

Zhou Hua smiled obsequiously and told Gu Jinnian about it.

"clear."

"I will go to the Ministry of Rites today and inform Master Yang of the test questions."

Gu Jinnian nodded.

"I'm sorry, Lord Hou."

"One more thing, did Hou Ye invite some candidates to a party yesterday?"

Zhou Hua said, this is the second matter. When this matter was mentioned, Zhou Hua's voice was a little calm, and he lowered his head slightly.

"what happened?"

"Is someone impeaching the Marquis?"

Gu Jinnian was a little curious.

"Back to Lord Hou, someone from Yushitai impeached Lord Hou, saying that Lord Hou, as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, met with students in private. My sage, it is also reasonable to meet scholars."

Zhou Hua spoke up and told Gu Jinnian about this matter.

Hearing this, Gu Jinnian nodded.

But he also realized one thing.

After stepping into the officialdom, every move you make will be noticed.

What Yu Shitai did, Gu Jinnian is not angry, this is his responsibility, if there is a problem, point it out, you can explain it best, if you can't explain clearly, there is a problem.

And Yushitai is not targeting himself, as long as he enters the court as an official, everyone will target it, and it is a good thing to have someone to supervise.

"understood."

"The Marquis will pay more attention in the future."

Gu Jinnian nodded. It is true that there is something wrong with him. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it.

"Yes."

Zhou Hua nodded, never thought that Gu Jinnian was not angry, and Zhou Hua felt at ease, not because he thought too much about Gu Jinnian.

After all, one is Lord Marquis, who was impeached just after he entered the government. Gu Jinnian is only 17 years old now, it's normal to be unconvinced, but I didn't expect Gu Jinnian to be so calm, he really has some courage.

This is the pattern.

"Master Hou, the construction of your Hou Mansion started earlier, and if there are no accidents, it will be completed on the auspicious day of August."

Zhou Hua mentioned another matter, which was the matter of Gu Jinnianhou's residence.

"Okay, it's a small thing."

Gu Jinnian seemed very casual, it didn't matter if it was Hou's house or not, anyway, there was an academy to live in, so if he couldn't go home, it wouldn't be a big problem.

After a while, Gu Jinnian and Zhou Hua went to the Ministry of Rites together.

Regarding the topic selection, you still have to discuss it with Yang Kai.

After half an hour.

Great Xia Rites.

The imperial examination is coming soon.

The Ministry of Rites is most concerned about the test questions.

It is true that the test questions were hand-picked by Gu Jinnian, but the Ministry of Rites still has to select a few test questions, and Gu Jinnian will choose them.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Gu Jinnian can say something better.

At this moment, the Minister of Rites, the Left and Right Ministers, and three great Confucian scholars gathered in it, and they were discussing about the test questions.

After the test questions are selected, it is time to go to the Gongyuan to rest, and besides the Ministry of Rites, there are also soldiers from the Ministry of War strictly guarding it.

As long as these people come out, they must be escorted to the Gongyuan, and they will be escorted for food, drink and clothing, and they are afraid of leaking their questions.

The major dynasties have extremely strict inspections of the imperial examinations. Fraud is a major crime. At the slightest, the examinations will be abolished for life, and at worst, they will be distributed to the frontiers.

It is precisely because of this that Daxia's imperial examinations can be recognized by people all over the world.

"Meet Yang Shangshu."

soon.

The door opens.

It was Gu Jinnian's voice.

He walked into the room and bowed to Yang Kai.

"It's Jinnian."

"Jinnian, I was just talking about the imperial examination questions, do you have the test questions?"

Seeing Gu Jinnian, Yang Kai stood up with a smile on his face.

"This time the imperial examination questions, the lower officials have ideas, so I don't know what you think."

Gu Jinnian walked into the room and wrote two words directly in front of the desk.

【Prosperity】

At that moment, everyone couldn't help getting up one after another, looking at the test questions written by Gu Jinnian.

Take the prosperous age as the theme.

It is also in line with the current situation.

However, the voice of great Confucianism inevitably sounded.

"Master Hou, there is not much problem with this test question, but this question is too broad, I am afraid that students will not be able to write it?"

The great Confucianism made a sound, not because he thought there was something wrong with the test questions, but simply because it was too broad and difficult.

In the past, the test questions basically selected a certain paragraph from the scriptures and asked everyone to write it.

Gu Jinnian's simple two words are not appropriate.

"No."

"Taking the theme of prosperity, I can just see what the talented scholars of my Great Xia think about the government and what they think about the country. In this way, we can also understand more about the evils of the world."

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

He didn't think of a test question casually. When the emperor asked him to write a test question, Gu Jinnian also thought about it for a long time.

Prosperity is the topic, there is absolutely no big problem, it is reasonable.

The Huns have now been suppressed, and there are no foreign aggressions for the time being. For the Great Xia Dynasty, two things are the most important.

One is the civil strife among feudal lords, which is a hidden danger after all, but this matter cannot be said on the bright side.

The other one is the people's livelihood. Externally and internally, it is a matter of the government. The core is the people. The only thing that is fundamental is to let the people eat and drink well. If the people become rich, everything is easy to talk about.

Daxia also has enough confidence and is not afraid of civil strife at all. After all, everyone is full of food and drink, who wants to rebel against you?
Prosperity is the theme.

There is no problem.

"The old man agrees."

"In the past, the topic was based on the scriptures of the sages. After all, after all, there are some great truths that matter to everyone. What Jinnian said is indeed good, and the old man agrees."

Yang Kai took the lead in expressing his opinion, almost unconditionally supporting Gu Jinnian.

After getting such an answer, the rest of the people thought about it, and finally agreed.

Firstly, the Minister of Rites said so.

Secondly, there was nothing wrong with Gu Jinnian's choice.

Moreover, they also knew about this matter, Emperor Yongsheng had given full power to Gu Jinnian, so it was meaningless to be serious.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's settle it like this."

"Everyone go to the Gongyuan first and have a good rest."

Yang Kai made a sound and told them to leave first.

Not long after, after they left, Yang Kai closed the door.

"Jin Nian."

"There is one thing that you still need to be vigilant about. Recently, the Buddhist sect has a lot of opinions on you. Some bad news has spread to Daxia territory, saying that you have killed everyone in Ata Temple."

"Now the entire Buddhist sect knows about this matter. The Upward Esoteric School has joined hands with Xiaoyuan Temple and Dayin Temple to put pressure on me, Daxia. I hope you can give me an answer."

"Right now, the Ministry of Rites is suppressing the news, but as far as I know, some border cities have huge disputes against you."

Yang Kai made a sound and told this matter.

A Ta Temple thing.

Everyone in the Ata Temple was killed. It is impossible that there was no movement in this matter, and Gu Jinnian had already guessed a thing or two about the method of Buddhism.

"I didn't kill the abbot of Ata Temple, but the old man Tianmo, including those temple monks."

"However, if I have the strength, I will kill them all."

Gu Jinnian replied, he told the truth, but also expressed his own meaning.

"Elder Tianmo?"

Yang Kai was a little surprised, but it made sense after thinking about it. After all, Gu Jinnian's strength should not be able to kill Luo Ze's host.

"Since it's not you, that's fine."

"This old man will take care of this matter. Jinnian, don't meddle in it. The imperial examination is the most important thing."

Yang Kai nodded.

Said so.

"it is good."

"Then I'll go to the Gongyuan too."

Since Yang Kai could handle it, Gu Jinnian didn't hesitate and planned to go directly to the Gong Yuan.

"It doesn't matter whether you go to the Gongyuan or not. If you have important matters to deal with, you should deal with your own affairs first."

Yang Kai shook his head.

Others were going to the Gongyuan, but Gu Jinnian didn't have to go, because his status was here.

"Let's go."

"Keep the rules, so that Yushitai won't come to me again."

Gu Jinnian didn't want to break the rules, since he had a test question, he went to the Gongyuan to avoid a verbal dispute.

"Row."

"However, Yu Shitai's participation in you is not a big deal. The old man has also been involved. It's their responsibility."

Yang Kai nodded, he was very satisfied that Gu Jinnian had such an idea, but he still reminded Gu Jinnian so as not to cause Gu Jinnian to misunderstand Yushitai.

"Master Yang, please rest assured, I understand."

Gu Jinnian cupped his hands, then left the Ministry of Rites and walked towards the Gong Yuan.

After coming to the Imperial Examination Tribute Court.

Gu Jinnian obeyed the arrangement and did what he wanted without overdoing it.

And this moment.

Daxia outside Kyoto.

On a river, a small boat was driving slowly, and there were two figures standing on the small boat, they were two monks.

One of them is older, this is the Eighth Resentment Divine Monk, he has already arrived in Daxia territory, and he will arrive in Daxia capital in a few days.

The other person, this is the abbot of Nanshan Temple, but the abbot of Shangxing Esoteric Buddhism.

"Monk."

"It's a little inappropriate for you to come to the Great Xia Dynasty this time to trouble Marquis Tianming."

The host of Nanshan Temple spoke. When he heard that the eight resentment monks were coming, he naturally rushed over immediately. Afterwards, the two were in the same boat. After he asked the other party's intentions, he couldn't help but make such a noise.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, although there were Buddhist temples, the more central the area, the fewer Buddhist temples. Like Nanshan Temple, temples were built because they were controlled by the Ministry of Rites and some games were played.

Therefore, within the territory of Great Xia, the Buddhist sect was indeed somewhat suppressed. On the contrary, it was a fairy sect, which was not bad, at least with the support of the imperial court.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm just here to ask for justice. The Marquis of Tianming is the number one Marquis of the Great Xia, and he is also the sage of later generations handpicked by Confucius. Is it possible that he is unreasonable?"

The Eighth Resentment Divine Monk was expressionless, and said lightly.

"No."

"I have also heard about the Ata Temple. It is true that Master Luo Ze has a deep obsession. It is said that he died under the blessing of karma, not by Gu Jinnian."

"Gu Jinnian, I know something about him, and I have some prejudices against my Buddhism. Moreover, he has an extreme personality. I'm afraid that the divine monk will not get anything good when he comes here this time."

The host of Nanshan Temple didn't dare to speak too directly, so he could only mention something cryptically.

But the eight resentment monk shook his head, looking at the green water and green mountains.

"You're right. Master Luo Ze died because of karma, but Gu Jinnian had something to do with it after all. Besides, this matter has the shadow of the demon old man Tianmo. All the monks in the temple died because of the old man Tianmo. die."

"The majestic Marquis of Destiny is involved with the giants of the Demon Dao. For this matter alone, he, Gu Jinnian, cannot escape the blame."

The Eighth Resentment Divine Monk spoke out and told about the old man Tianmo.

"Is it related to the old man Tianmo?"

"That's unlikely, is it?"

The latter was a little surprised, but immediately frowned and said: "But I did hear that the old man Tianmo claimed that Gu Jinnian was his disciple, but we all thought that it was Gu Jinnian who had fairy roots, so he wanted to accept him as a disciple. Gu Jinnian Did not agree."

"If this matter is really related to Gu Jinnian, then it can indeed be a fuss."

"It's just that if Gu Jinnian is really related to Old Man Tianmo, will I provoke revenge from Old Man Tianmo if I do this? This person has a strange nature and is decisive in killing."

The abbot of Nanshan Temple said this, but his words were still full of scruples about the old man Tianmo.

"Don't worry, we've already found out why Old Man Tianmo wanted to help Gu Jinnian."

"It's not Gu Jinnian's master, but he owes Gu Jinnian a cause and effect, and he chooses to make a move in order to repay."

The Eighth Resentment God Monk seemed to disagree.

"God monk, this is not reliable."

The host of Nanshan Temple felt a little weird and couldn't help but speak out.

"There's nothing unreliable, just think about it."

"Who is the old man Tianmo? He is a quasi-seventh-level monk, and the magic skills he cultivates are not trivial, and he can step into the seventh level at critical moments."

"For such a great person, what if Gu Jinnian has fairy roots? Will he have seen few geniuses? How can he only like Gu Jinnian?"

"But he should need Gu Jinnian's help. He owes a karma. Although the old man Tianmo is cruel by nature, he must repay his kindness. It's not a big deal to help Gu Jinnian once."

"If it's really Gu Jinnian's master, why bother to lie? For what? Deliberately making people trouble Gu Jinnian?"

"What's the point of this? Is it difficult for him to kill someone?"

"It doesn't make sense."

"That's why the old man Tianmo will only help Gu Jinnian once. He may be thinking about the old relationship. If he pushes Gu Jinnian too hard, he will choose to be a peacemaker."

"Don't worry too much. Although people in the devil way like to go back on their promises, but the old man Tianmo, in such a state, should do what he says. If he says he will only help once, he should only help once."

"Furthermore, if you really turn your back, is it possible that Buddhism is afraid of a demon cultivator?"

The eight-resentment monk spoke very confidently. First, he felt that the old man Tianmo had no reason to help Gu Jinnian twice, and secondly, Buddhism was not afraid of the old man Tianmo.

So the odds are on.

"Indeed, the monk is still thoughtful."

"However, I dare to ask the monk, what is your purpose for coming here this time? Is it just to make Gu Jinnian admit his mistakes? Or is it to save Gu Jinnian?"

The host of Nanshan Temple asked, also wondering why the eight resentful monks came here?
"Two things."

"For one thing, it is impossible to publicize this matter to the world. It is impossible to save Gu Jinnian, but it is impossible to let this matter go. We must let the world know what Gu Jinnian has done. In this way, we We can take this opportunity to build more temples in Daxia."

"Secondly, Shangxing Tantric sect owes the Huns a great cause and effect. The Hun King asked me to help Shangxing Tantric sect, hoping to bring back the bones of the twelve city lords who invaded Daxia, set up longevity cards, and burn incense and pray for them."

The eight resentment monks expressed their intentions.

"Eternal Life Card?"

"God monk, this is absolutely impossible."

"When Great Xia and the Xiongnu State negotiated peace, the Xiongnu State only proposed to let the Great Xia Dynasty revise the history books, but Gu Jinnian refused to agree. After all, he is the grandson of Duke Zhen and hates the Huns. All the main criminals have been executed by Ling Chi."

"If you, the divine monk, came forward in person and asked for the bones, Gu Jinnian would never agree."

The host of Nanshan Temple said seriously.

He knew Gu Jinnian's temper. After all, he was in Daxia, so he knew a lot of news immediately.

Gu Jinnian didn't even agree to revise the history books. Gu Jinnian ignored all the conditions that the other party offered. Now he wants to take away the bones of the main criminals and set up longevity cards for them. Isn't this asking for trouble?

Hearing this, the Eighth Resentment Divine Monk said calmly.

"There is nothing to promise or not to promise."

"This time the old monk dared to come, because he had made all the preparations."

"Before I entered Beijing, I already contacted several old friends, and they will help me deal with this matter, whether Gu Jinnian agrees or not."

The Eighth Resentment God Monk didn't care, and gave people the impression that he didn't come to discuss with Gu Jinnian, but to inform Gu Jinnian.

"What does the monk mean to say that someone has dealt with it secretly?"

The host of Nanshan Temple asked curiously.

If that's the case, that's okay, even if it is discovered, it's no big deal.

"almost."

"But this old monk will personally inform Gu Jinnian and let him know."

The next words of the eight resentment monks made the abbot of Nanshan Temple silent again.

"Why is this? Monk, are you trying to provoke him on purpose?"

This time, the host of Nanshan Temple didn't understand at all. He knew that Gu Jinnian would not agree, but he still took the initiative to say it?He didn't understand what that meant.

"That's right, it was to provoke him on purpose."

The Eighth Resentment Divine Monk nodded and replied like this.

"Why is this?"

"Shen Monk, Gu Jinnian is now the number one marquis of Daxia, and he has won the emperor's favor. If he is directly provoked, it will be even more difficult for me to wait in Daxia. Take a step back and say, Shenseng, really angered Gu Jinnian, he It is very possible to dare to do such a thing as destroying Buddha."

The abbot of Nanshan Temple was very clear about who Gu Jinnian was. He had heard about him. He dared to brave the pressure of the family to punish the merchants, and he dared to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops to flatten the Bailu Mansion.

As a scholar, dare to criticize the Confucian family, even go to the Confucian mansion to summon the saint, and cut down the world's scholars?

With all these things here, who would dare to provoke Gu Jinnian?
To put it mildly, this is called gentlemanly spirit, to put it bluntly, this is a powder keg, whoever touches it will die.

Is King Ning strong?The biggest king in Northwest China, his two sons died in the hands of Gu Jinnian. What can you say?
Now in the entire Daxia territory, everyone has a consensus, do not provoke Gu Jinnian in anything.

But I didn't expect that the eight-resentment monk would deliberately trouble Gu Jinnian. After all, this is the territory of Daxia. If it is in the West Desert, then the eight-resentment monk will provoke Gu Jinnian. What are you afraid of in your own territory?
"Destroy the Buddha?"

"If he really dares to destroy the Buddha, then the Buddhism will flourish."

The Eighth Resentment Divine Monk spoke lightly.

"Buddha is booming?"

"God monk, this."

The abbot of Nanshan Temple doesn't understand what this means at all. Exterminating Buddha will make Buddhism flourish?
"I speculate that after a few days in the Great Summer, there will be a terrible natural disaster. I can't figure out exactly where or what kind of natural disaster it is."

"I went to Daxia Capital today to find Gu Jinnian, in order to make my Buddhism flourish."

"As long as Gu Jinnian dares to destroy the Buddha, sacrifice some members of the Buddhist sect, and wait for the natural disaster to come, then this disaster is entirely caused by him, Gu Jinnian."

"At that time, Buddhism was assisting the Great Xia Dynasty and saving the souls of the dead. Once they came and went, the prestige of Buddhism must have reached its peak in the Great Xia Dynasty. At that time, the Great Jin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty will jointly put pressure on Great Xia."

"Let Gu Jinnian bear the consequences for this matter. According to the character of the Great Xia Dynasty, it will inevitably protect Gu Jinnian. Then we can take this opportunity to let Buddhism settle in."

"This is one of the few opportunities for Buddhism to enter the Great Xia Dynasty."

"As long as we enter the Great Xia Dynasty and take advantage of this natural disaster, Buddhism will develop rapidly. Within three to five years, the power of faith of the people of Great Xia is enough to allow our Buddhist sect to give birth to a seven-level Buddhist venerable."

"When the battle for destiny begins, our Buddhist sect will win the championship, obtain the destiny, and give birth to a true Buddha."

Eight resentment monks revealed the plan of Buddhism.

The abbot of Nanshan Temple was silent. He didn't expect that all of this was a Buddhist plan, which was too meticulous and interlocking.

On the grounds of the death of Master Luo Ze in Ata Temple, he sought justice from Gu Jinnian, and at the same time wanted to return the bones of the principal culprit, sacrifice the Longevity Card, and intentionally provoke Gu Jinnian.

If Gu Jinnian chooses to fight head-on, he will put the natural disaster on Gu Jinnian's head, and then let the Buddhist sect save the souls of the dead and rescue the suffering. At that time, the Buddhist sect will have more than enough to advance and retreat, and the initiative will be entirely in the hands of the Buddhist sect.

The only sacrifices were some Buddhist disciples in Daxia territory.

"But if according to Jinnian's temperament, he wants to wipe out all the Buddhist disciples in Daxia territory, what should we do?"

"There are still some sacrifices for so many people."

The abbot of Nanshan Temple couldn't bear it. Although it was for the prosperity of Buddhism, there are many Buddhist monks in Daxia. If they all sacrificed, it would be a bit bad.

"He dare not!"

"Do you really think he dares to destroy Buddha?"

"Kill some people, he dares, I believe in it."

"But there are tens of thousands of temples in Daxia, does he really dare to destroy them all?"

"Are you really not afraid of provoking God's punishment?"

"Even if he dared, would the Great Xia Dynasty dare? Are these people not afraid?"

The eight resentment monk looked at the latter and said firmly.

He didn't believe that Gu Jinnian dared to destroy Buddha at all.

So what if Gu Jinnian dared?Are all the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty dead?Gu Jinnian is impulsive, but all civil and military officials in Daxia are also impulsive?

Sure enough, when it came to this point, the host of Nanshan Temple understood.

"But what if Gu Jinnian has no intention of destroying Buddha?"

he continued to ask.

"That's better."

"If he bows his head, it will be a good thing for the people of the world, and it will also increase the prestige for our Buddhist sect. Wouldn't it be beautiful to propose the matter of allowing the Buddhist sect to settle in at this time?"

"And it saves some trouble."

"All in all, from the moment Gu Jinnian killed Master Luo Ze, Gu Jinnian was destined to be involved in cause and effect."

Eight resentment monks spoke slowly.

It's okay to enter.

It's okay to withdraw.

Buddhism has already figured it out, otherwise it would not have come directly.

"Amitabha."

In the end, the abbot of Nanshan Temple clasped his hands together and said so.

And so.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During these three days, one incident spread throughout the entire Eastern Barren Territory.

That was about the murder of all the monks in Ata Temple. This incident involved Gu Jinnian, and countless news spread.

The son of King Ning committed all kinds of crimes and converted to Guru Luo Ze. Gu Jinnian stood up for the people who died in vain and asked Guru Luo Ze to hand over the son of King Ning.

However, Master Luo Ze refused to hand it over, and in the end the whole temple was slaughtered by Gu Jinnian.

The general news is like this, but some gossip is what the people pay attention to. There are rumors that the old man Tianmo did it. Gu Jinnian is inextricably related to the people of the devil way.

There are also gossips that this strong man of the devil way owes Gu Jinnian a kindness. Seeing that Gu Jinnian is in trouble, he helps out. It's just that the devil's way of doing things is ruthless, and he directly destroys the temple. This is something Gu Jinnian did not expect.

This gossip was unanimously recognized by the common people. They did not believe that Gu Jinnian was the kind of person who killed innocent people indiscriminately.

So he pointed the finger at the old man Tianmo, scolding the devil's way of being cruel, and explained it to Gu Jinnian.

However, no matter what the news is, one of the four great monks of Buddhism, the eight resentment monks, has entered Beijing, and this matter has become the biggest topic in Kyoto.

The eight resentment monks came here this time, making it clear that they wanted to trouble Gu Jinnian.

Therefore, the common people are very curious about how Gu Jinnian will solve it.

However, when the eight resentment monks came to the Great Xia Dynasty, they did not look for Gu Jinnian immediately, but went to the Ministry of Rites, and that night, they went to Ye Yihou, and some ministers, including the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

No one knew what the eight resentment monks were doing to them. The only thing they knew was that the eight resentments did not trouble Gu Jinnian.

Insein 13 years.

February 29.

There are still two days left before the imperial examination.

In the capital of Daxia, it seemed very quiet. Because the imperial examination was in front, there was a decree in the palace to strictly prohibit the market from being messy, and setting up stalls to call the streets, especially near the Gongyuan and around some restaurants.

Worried about making noise to these students, afraid of affecting the students.

The people are also actively cooperating. After all, these students will be the pillars of the Great Xia in the future.

However, at noon today.

Outside the Daxia Gongyuan.

A figure slowly appeared.

It is the eight grievances.

He was wearing cassock, with a calm face, clasped his hands, walked on the street, and finally stopped outside the Gongyuan.

"Amitabha."

"The old monk ascended the esoteric sect, and the Buddha's name is Eight Resentments. Today is a matter for Ata Temple. I come to ask Gu Jinnian, the Marquis of Daxia."

"I hope Lord Marquis can come to meet and give an explanation."

With the voice of the eight resentment monks, the whole street was disturbed.

His voice was not loud, but it was full of magical power, resounding in everyone's ears.

All of a sudden, figures appeared around the street, and all the people gathered here. The arrival of the Eight Resentful Monks these few days has already caused a storm in the capital.

Everyone knew that the eight-resentment monk would definitely come to trouble Gu Jinnian, but everyone thought that they would trouble Gu Jinnian after the imperial examination was over, but they never thought that the eight-resentment monk would speak out on the eve of the imperial examination.

This is really unreasonable.

It was obviously a deliberate attempt to find fault.

Inside the tribute courtyard.

Gu Jinnian, who was studying quietly, was startled by this voice.

He put down the book in his hand, looked calmly, and looked outside.

"This is the Daxia Gongyuan."

"In two more days, it will be the day of the Great Xia Imperial Examination. The idlers, etc., retreat quickly and do not disturb the order of the Gongyuan."

However, before Gu Jinnian could speak, the voice of a great Confucianist sounded.

Respond directly.

This place is the Gong Yuan, and two days later it will be the day of the imperial examination, no matter who he is or what he is for, these great Confucian scholars cannot stand by and watch.

"Amitabha."

"This old man brought thousands of resentful souls from Ata Temple to seek justice from Lord Hou."

"The matter of the imperial examination is indeed the most important thing, but the grievances of my Buddhist monks are also the most important thing."

"I hope you benefactors will forgive me."

The voice of the Eighth Resentment Divine Monk continued to sound, unrelenting.

He chose this juncture because he wanted to make things big, and naturally he would not leave because of someone else's words.

Inside the tribute courtyard.

Several great scholars came to Gu Jinnian's room, they looked at Gu Jinnian calmly and said.

"Master Hou, don't get involved in this matter. With me waiting, how dare you be so arrogant?"

"Well, leave this matter to us."

A few great Confucians came forward, although they didn't know what happened, but at this moment, the eight resentment monks came to the door, and they must be trying to make trouble.

The imperial examination was just around the corner, and they didn't want anything to happen to Gu Jinnian, so they planned to come forward and let Gu Jinnian leave.

"Several gentlemen, the students have been prepared for a long time, let the students handle this matter."

"If the students don't come forward, I'm afraid the trouble will be even bigger."

At this time, Gu Jinnian stood up.

Yang Kai had talked about this matter with himself before, and also heard some gossip. Naturally, Gu Jinnian also guessed that the Buddhist sect would come to find trouble, and even he did it well, and the Buddhist sect came to find trouble on the day of the imperial examination.

Two days in advance, it is still a bit of conscience for Buddhism.

If he dared to make trouble on the day of the imperial examination, no matter what the other party wanted to do, Gu Jinnian would not forgive him lightly.

"This?"

"Jinnian, if he dares to come here, he must have a perfect plan. If you go out, it will be a bit bad."

"Yes, Jinnian, although we are only great Confucians, we still have some abilities. It is not difficult to deal with a Buddhist monk."

Several people spoke one after another, mainly because the imperial examination was just around the corner, and they didn't want Gu Jinnian to go out and respond.

I'm afraid that things will get bigger and bigger, and it will affect the imperial examination at that time.

Of course, he was also afraid that Gu Jinnian would suffer.

"Gentlemen, don't worry."

Gu Jinnian said calmly, and then walked out of the room, and these great scholars didn't think much, they glanced at each other, and then left with Gu Jinnian.

In front of the tribute courtyard.

The soldiers frowned and looked at the eight resentment monks. If it weren't for the eight resentment gods who looked unfathomable, they might have already made a move.

Outside the Gongyuan, many people gathered, they were silent, did not speak, and waited for the result.

Even some scholars couldn't help but come over to watch the excitement.

Soon.

Gu Jinnian's figure appeared, but he did not leave the Gongyuan, this is the rule.

The two were less than a hundred meters apart, looking at each other.

"This place is the Daxia Gongyuan."

"What's the matter with you, making noise here?"

Gu Jinnian appeared, looked at the other party, and directly asked the eight resentment monks.

"The poor monk has seen the Marquis of Destiny."

"I've always heard that the Marquis of Heaven petitioned for the people and put the people in his heart. The poor monk wanted to ask the Marquis, are Buddhist monks considered common people?"

Seeing Gu Jinnian's appearance, the eight resentful monks were expressionless, but directly asked Gu Jinnian a question.

Hearing this, even these common people guessed what the Eighth Resentment Divine Monk was going to say.

If Gu Jinnian answered yes, the eight grudges would definitely let Gu Jinnian deal with the killing of the monk at Ata Temple impartially.

And this matter has something to do with Gu Jinnian. If Gu Jinnian doesn't deal with it, it doesn't count as putting the people first. If Gu Jinnian handles it, then this matter will be very difficult.

The Buddhist eminent monk is worthy of being an eminent Buddhist monk, every word is a hidden trap.

just.

Among the tribute courtyard.

Gu Jinnian shook his head.

"If you're just here to ask this kind of question, then go back."

"Buddhist monks are not ordinary people in the eyes of this Marquis."

Gu Jinnian said lightly.

He knew what the other party's intention was, so naturally he wouldn't be too polite.

As soon as this remark came out, the eight resentment monks remained expressionless.

"Monks are not considered ordinary people? Dare I ask Lord Hou why?"

He continued to ask.

He didn't care about Gu Jinnian's attitude either.

"Why?"

"The monks hid in Buddhist temples at a young age, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, in the name of purporting to save all living beings, but in reality?"

"If you don't pay taxes, don't pay money, and don't do anything practical for the dynasty, what's the point of copying scriptures and chanting Buddha?"

"If copying the scriptures and reciting the Buddha's name can satisfy the common people and make the world peaceful, then everyone in the world will copy the scriptures and recite the Buddha's name."

"Do you think Buddhist monks are considered ordinary people?"

Gu Jinnian spoke up, this is his explanation.

Indeed, the biggest problem with Buddhism is not the teachings, but the Buddhist monks do not pay taxes. They worship Buddhism at a young age, perhaps in their teens, and then copy some scriptures and recite some Buddhist scriptures every day, and enjoy their lives in peace.

Even build Buddhist gates, let people come to worship Buddha statues, and donate silver taels. Where did the silver taels go?

To put it bluntly, it's fine if you don't pay taxes, and you still earn money from the common people.

Is this the Furman?

When Gu Jinnian said this, many people applauded.

And the eight resentment monks were obviously a little silent.

He asked Gu Jinnian if he was a common man, which was actually a verbal trap.

But it never occurred to Gu Jinnian to dismiss this statement from the perspective of the dynasty.

But the eight resentment monks did not continue to remain silent because of this.

"Master Hou doesn't know Buddhism, this is an innocent fault."

"Buddhist monks recite scriptures to eliminate karma from heaven and earth, in order to make people's lives better."

"If there were no Buddhist monks like me, how many disasters would come to this world."

The Eighth Resentment Divine Monk opened his mouth and explained aloud.

But before Gu Jinnian could refute, the voice of the eight resentful monks continued.

"Master Hou."

"The whole temple of Ata Temple was slaughtered. Our Buddhist sect used our supernatural powers to find Lord Hou present. Dare to ask Lord Hou, is this matter related to you?"

The Eighth Resentment Divine Monk continued to speak, which was straight to the point and didn't want to be long-winded.

"kindness."

"It's related to Ben Hou."

"However, the person was not killed by this Marquis. The presiding officer Luo Ze was killed by his own karmic fire."

"As for the monks in the temple, they were killed by the demon old man."

Gu Jinnian said lightly.

"Understood, that is to say, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Hou?"

The Eighth Resentment Divine Monk continued to ask.

"Not at all."

"It was Ben Hou who asked Old Man Tianmo to do it."

Gu Jinnian said unscrupulously.

Not afraid at all.

Sure enough, when these words were said, some people exclaimed.

It stands to reason that, even if Gu Jinnian really did it, he should shirk responsibility. After all, killing people is not good, let alone killing monks and destroying temples.

At this moment, the eight resentful monks did not expect Gu Jinnian to answer like this.

This is different from what he expected.

Soon, he understood one thing.

Gu Jinnian is no longer prejudiced against Buddhism, but a huge prejudice.

"Dare to ask Lord Hou, why is this so?"

"No matter how good the Buddhism is, it has never done anything harmful to the heavens and principles. The Hou Ye's actions are against the laws of heaven. Do you hate my Buddhism?"

The Eighth Resentment Monk sighed.

Said so.

"This Marquis respects Buddhism, but it's different for false Buddhas."

"okay."

"Stop rambling here."

"This matter, you can say whatever you want, explain your purpose, and don't waste time."

Gu Jinnian didn't bother to say anything.

Are you interested in talking?

It’s good to directly explain the purpose of coming. What’s the point of debating here?
It's nothing more than wasting each other's time.

He just wanted to know, what did the Eighth Resentment Divine Monk want to do when he came here?or what to do?
Hearing Gu Jinnian's voice.

Several great Confucian scholars are extremely satisfied.

And the Eighth Resentment Divine Monk seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he was neither angry nor angry.

"Amitabha."

"Since this matter is related to Lord Hou, the poor monk also knows when it is time to repay the injustice."

"Will Lord Hou build a temple in the capital of Daxia to enshrine Master Luo Ze and others, which can be regarded as repaying the karma and washing away his sins."

"Buddhism doesn't want to embarrass Lord Hou, nor does it want to be an enemy of Lord Hou. The death of master Luo Ze is also a karmic cycle."

"His realm is not enough to save Prince Ning's son. This is his cause, but those monks in Ata Temple died in vain. I think Lord Hou should also feel guilty."

"Besides, there is one more thing that the poor monk came here."

"The Xiongnu chief offender was sent to the capital a few days ago and was executed by Ling Chi. This can be regarded as the end of karma, but the people are dead, and the poor monk hopes that the Great Xia Dynasty will return their bones."

"Send it to the upward merit pool, set up longevity cards for them, eliminate their grievances, and pray for their next life."

The Eighth Resentment Divine Monk spoke lightly.

Gu Jinnian just sneered at what he said earlier.

Buddhist classics means that you are always a good person, and others have problems, but they don't care about you.

Pay back the karma and wash away your sins?

That's just disgusting people.

But the second half of the sentence made Gu Jinnian's expression change immediately.

Hand over the main criminal's bones?Li Changsheng brand?Pray?

He was slightly silent.

After a while, he spoke.

"You mean to say."

"For the chief culprit who slaughtered my Great Xia people, set up a longevity card and chant scriptures to pray for blessings?"

Gu Jinnian spoke up.

His previous expression was calm.

But now his expression became a little cold.
