Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

"Fang La, the sea merchant, turned out to be Fang La, the Manichaean saint!"

This news exploded like thunder among the wealthy businessmen in Shanghai City. Everyone looked at Fang La in disbelief as he was escorted in with an arrogant expression.

Fang La is a legendary figure in Shanghai. He sold his property but could only buy a small seagoing ship. However, he successfully turned around with this seagoing ship and became a legend in Shanghai.

"Your Majesty the Transfer Envoy, the Manichaean Saint Fangla has been brought here, and all the Manichaean remnants who lurked into the Peace Hotel have been killed!" Liu Daoquan, who was in charge of the arrest, said excitedly.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

When Fang La heard this, his eyes burst into tears. He did not expect that his carefully planned assassination operation would be discovered in advance. Even if he was arrested, he would implicate a group of Manichaean believers.

"Brother Fang, long time no see!"

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded, and Fang Laru was struck by lightning.

All the maritime merchants couldn't help but look at Fang La and the evil doctor Fan Zheng in surprise. The two people, who were not destined to be enemies, actually knew each other.

"I heard that Fang La once received guidance from a noble person before he became successful. Could it be that that noble person..."

A well-informed merchant suddenly thought of a rumor and whispered.

The faces of other maritime merchants also changed. No one expected such a tortuous process.

"It's you! Brother Fan!"

Fang La suddenly raised his head and looked at the young figure sitting in front of him in disbelief.

Brother Fan Jin, who once advised him, claimed that he had failed the imperial examinations many times and had no talent for governing the country, but he had no way out. He turned out to be the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Brother Fang, you shouldn't come back again! Brother Fang is now rich and well-known in maritime business. All his family members have moved overseas, so why come back?" Fan Zheng said quietly.

"No wonder! No wonder! Hahaha!" Fang La suddenly figured out a lot of doubts. When he met him at the Peace Hotel, Fan Jin was so elegant. How could such a person be unknown.

He also thought that he would restore the glory of Manichaeism in the future and join forces to fight against the Song Dynasty, so he invited Fan Jin to be his military advisor. In the future, they would overthrow the decadent Song Dynasty court together and make Fan Jin his prime minister to repay his kindness. Well, but who would have thought that the clown was actually himself.

"You actually knew that I, Fang La, was a Manichaean. Why didn't you kill Fang directly? Instead, you showed Fang La how to make money." Fang La looked embarrassed and asked angrily.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "One of the reasons why Fan came to Zhejiang is Manichaeism. Naturally, he has done some research on Manichaeism and naturally knows that Fang Lanai from Qingxi County is one of the leaders of Manichaeism. First, Brother Fang has changed his ways and sold his family's income to make a living abroad. Naturally, Fan is happy to see this happen, and this is what he saw back then!"

A group of maritime merchants listened to the conversation between Fan Zheng and Fang La, and couldn't help but look at Fang La with pity. Manichae was targeted by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and naturally he was badly beaten from head to toe. Fang La's little tricks couldn't be hidden from him at all.

"As for killing people, although Fan is targeting Manichaeism, these are the people of the Song Dynasty. I have never killed Manichaeism believers. Instead, it allowed Manichaeism believers to escape poverty and become rich, and allowed Manichaeism fanatics to follow Brother Fang and leave. Manichaeism, on the contrary, Brother Fang tried his best to induce Manichaeism to cause chaos and assassinate Fan!" Fan Zheng looked at Fang Ladao.

Fang La couldn't help but feel guilty. Just as Fan Zheng said, the imperial court adopted the method of boiling frogs in warm water against Manichaeism and cut off Manichaeism believers step by step. Although Manichaeism suffered a disaster, but in Manichaeism, During the destruction, no one really died.

"The transshipment envoy is a member of the medical family. He saves lives and heals the wounded and saves the world. We really admire him!" A group of maritime merchants hurriedly boasted.

Fang La's veins popped out when he heard this and he glared at Fan Zhengdao: "Just because the teachings of Manichaeism are inconsistent with the medical ideas, the doctors suppressed them. What's the truth?"

Fang La's heart was full of hatred. Manichaeism was originally developing well, but it ended up being completely destroyed because it was inconsistent with the medical philosophy.

Fan Zheng looked at Fang La and shook his head: "With or without Fan, Manichaeism will eventually suffer this calamity. Not to mention that Manichaeism uses religious talismans to harm people and makes people eat vegetarian food and cause various diseases. Manichaeism is The teachings of foreign religions are too radical and are not in line with our Chinese culture. Even the now-famous Buddhist school had to go through three exterminations of Buddhism before it found its way back, let alone Manichaeism.”

"Buddhism!"

Fang La was very angry when he heard this. Buddhism was also responsible for Manichaeism's current miserable end. The court's suppression could only make Manichaeism dormant temporarily, but Buddhism's dominance of the magpie's nest caused Manichaeism to lose its foundation. .

However, Fang La was a very smart man. He instantly understood Fan Zheng’s instructions. Manichaeism completely copied the teachings from the Far West country and did not integrate into the culture of the Song Dynasty at all. The Buddhists had to exterminate the Buddha three times before he realized that, Manichaeism was not unjustly defeated.

At the same time, Fang La couldn't help but sigh that he had indeed not misjudged the situation back then. The once down-and-out scholar did indeed have the talent to govern the country. If he could get his help, Manichaeism would definitely be able to grow in strength.

Of course, he was mistaken in the end. Who would have thought that a failed scholar would turn out to be the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng, who had long been famous in the Song Dynasty. A little bit of news would be enough to make him a lot of money.

"Secondly, I would like to have a heart-to-heart talk with Brother Fang. Although religion is rampant in the Song Dynasty and there are many believers, in fact, the vast majority of the people in the Song Dynasty do not believe in God." Fan Zhengyu said in surprise.

"The people of the Song Dynasty don't believe in God, how is that possible?"

"The Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou has become a Buddhist resort just because of one of Li's operas, attracting countless believers to burn incense and worship Buddha!"

"That's right! Even when I go to sea, I will kneel down and worship the Dragon King and Mazu to pray for safety when I go to sea?"

........................

All the maritime merchants were talking about it, and they couldn't help but question Fan Zheng's words, including Fang La. He had personally spread Manichaeism, so he naturally knew how pious those believers were.

Fan Zheng looked around and said: "That's because people in the Song Dynasty worshiped gods and religions for utilitarian purposes. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha were mostly for the purpose of seeking wealth, seeking children, and bless peace and good health. We can also worship gods when we see them. Anyway, it's better to worship more. No harm done.”

Fan Zheng's words directly hit everyone's heart, making all the maritime merchants look embarrassed.

As Fan Zheng said, kneeling down and worshiping Guanyin is to ask for a child, praying to Buddha is to bless peace, worshiping the God of Wealth is to make money, even worshiping the Dragon King is to bless smooth sailing. They are indeed utilitarian and not for faith.

Fang La also changed his expression. He had been the same way before. He joined Manichaeism for utilitarianism, for Manichaeism's influence, and for power and status. However, since the imperial court suppressed Manichaeism, he gradually stepped into the position of Manichaeism, and then gradually lost his original intention.

"However, gods and Buddhas are so high above that it is impossible for them to respond to mortals. Our faith is destined to be unresponsive, and naturally we cannot be called believers. Of course, the same is true for Manichaeism, not to mention that Manichaeism is from the far west. God, how can he protect you when he is far away in the West?" Fan Zheng said again.

"Impossible, our faith Mani must be able to sense it!" Fang La insisted through gritted teeth.

"Of course it cannot be said that the people of the Song Dynasty have no faith. What we believe in is our ancestors and sages. Only when we kneel down to worship our ancestors is our heart the purest." Fan Zheng said again.

"If we have to say there is still faith, it is the belief that man can conquer heaven. We go to sea and kneel down to worship the Dragon King and Mazu, but we believe more in the sails and rudders of our ships. We pray to gods for blessings and long lives. The ones we believe in most are the doctors in the world. We never rely on God’s favor, we believe that it is our own hands that create a beautiful life.”

Fan Zheng's voice was resounding and echoed in the Peace Hotel.

"What your lord said is true!"

A group of maritime merchants were convinced that their sacrifices to gods and Buddhas were indeed utilitarian, but worshiping ancestors was the purest. When you go to sea, you naturally trust the rudder and the compass in your hand more.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but cast his eyes on Fang La and said seriously: "You think it was the doctors who suppressed Manichaeism that caused the destruction of Manichaeism. It is better to say that the people of the Song Dynasty gave up Manichaeism."

When Fang La heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. Fan Zheng's words could be described as murderous and heartbreaking.

"Brother Fang, you shouldn't come back. If you follow the path pointed out by Fan and take Manichaeism out to sea, even if you go to the Western Ocean to worship at Mani's Holy Land, or even if you preach overseas, Fan will turn a blind eye. Close your eyes, but you shouldn't cause chaos in the Song Dynasty." Fan Zheng looked solemn.

Fang La laughed and said: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "No! You don't understand. You, Fang La, can become the Holy Duke of Manichaeism. You are indeed a hero of the generation. However, your vision is completely blinded by religion and you have never cared about the general trend of the world. Now, I, the Song Dynasty, have been The Liao and Xia jointly attacked. Although Fan Mou's reforms in recent years allowed the Song Dynasty to regain some strength, the Song Dynasty was still at a disadvantage facing the Liao and Xia countries. "

Many maritime merchants nodded slightly. The current situation of the Song Dynasty was indeed not stable. With the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty was forced to defend itself. The Liaoxia in the north still looked at the Song Dynasty covetously.

"The Song Dynasty's chances of winning against Liao Xia are still 50-50, which means that there is a half chance that the Song Dynasty will be defeated! How have you ever thought about the consequences of the Song Dynasty's defeat?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

All the maritime merchants were stunned. They had only seen the prosperous business of the Song Dynasty and had never thought about this problem.

"Once the Song Dynasty is defeated, countless people of the Song Dynasty will be trampled by the foreign cavalry, the tragedy of the Wuhu chaos in China will be repeated, and it will even be more miserable. Chinese civilization will be interrupted, and our ancestors will be cut off from sacrifices. The Song Dynasty We will face the tragedy of national subjugation and annihilation of our species!" Fan Zheng said fiercely.

All the maritime merchants could not help but feel cold all over. Although the possibility of what Fan Zheng said is very small, it is not impossible, especially when Liao Xia is eyeing the Song Dynasty.

"For this reason, Fan will not tolerate any hidden dangers in the Song Dynasty, including Manichaeism! Please ask Brother Fang to die!" Fan Zheng looked at Fang La with cold eyes.

The reason why the Northern Song Dynasty collapsed in later generations was largely attributed to Manichaeism. Song Jiang was evil, but he was finally pacified. However, Manichaeism swept through the two Zhejiang areas, turning the most prosperous Jiangnan into ruins, and causing heavy damage to the economy of the Song Dynasty. , the loss of millions of people was the trigger for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. Naturally, he could not repeat the same mistakes in this life.

But Fang La laughed and said: "What a evil doctor Fan Zheng, what a righteous person in the world. Now I, Fang La, have been defeated. I, Fang La, can be killed and chopped into pieces without any hesitation. I just want to make Manichaeism extinct, which will never be possible." , Mani will live forever, Manichaeism will never die.”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "There is another news that Brother Fang doesn't know yet. Today's Manichaeism is not only banned in the Song Dynasty, but also banned in the West and the Far West. Even the Holy Land of Manichae has been banned by new religious forces. Occupy, Manichaeism will disappear from the world soon."

Fang La couldn't help but be shocked. If others said that the Manichean Church had disappeared, Fang La might not believe it. However, in front of him was Brother Fan Jin, whom he admired most, and the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng. All his predictions came true one by one.

"As for the local Manichaeism in the Song Dynasty, this time in your name, with Fang Fei as the internal response, and Bao Kang mobilizing an army, we will definitely be able to wipe them all out." Fan Zheng said quietly.

"Fang Fei, Bao Kang!"

Fang La was immediately filled with hatred when he heard this. Bao Kang was the executioner of the evil doctor Fan Zheng who suppressed Manichaeism, and Fang La had long hated him.

What really made him grit his teeth was Fang Fei. He was arrested as soon as he arrived at the Peace Hotel. Naturally, he was betrayed by an informant. However, he never expected that the informant turned out to be his second-in-command, Fang Fei!

Fang Fei's fat body appeared from the darkness and said helplessly: "Brother, I advised you not to come back!"

"Fang Fei, you despicable villain! What kind of high-ranking official and salary was given to you by the imperial court, so that you dare to betray Mani!" Fang La cursed loudly!
Fang Fei shook his head and said: "No! The transfer envoy did not promise Fang a high official and a generous salary, but promised not to pursue the responsibility of the Manichaeans who were transferred to overseas. Now the Manichaeans all over the world have been wiped out. We must leave a spark for Manichaeism. Moreover, the imperial court has already been well aware of Manichaeism. The transshipment envoy will have a long talk with you, but you don’t know anything about it, but you still want to do it. Manichaeism revolted, and you were the one who really led to the destruction of Manichaeism!”

Fang La suddenly felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart. He wanted to argue but was speechless in the end.

"By the way, Baihua?" Fang La was shocked and suddenly raised his head.

Since Fang Fei is an internal agent, isn't Fang Baihua, who is responsible for the response, also in danger?
"The raging fire burned my body. Fang Baihua did not hesitate to set fire to the ship. Now it is time to go see the God of Light." Fan Zheng stood up and looked at a sea ship burning with raging fire on the Huangpu River, and said faintly.

Fang La suddenly collapsed to the ground, and all his thoughts were lost. He did not expect that because of his one thought, Manichaeism suffered heavy losses and embarked on the road of complete destruction. Even the sister he valued most, Fang Baihua, was forced to self-immolate.

"Take Fangla, the anti-Manichaean thief, into custody and send him to Kaifeng for Mingzhengdian punishment. Anyone who believes in Manichae will be exiled overseas and become a coolie!" Fan Zheng waved his hand and said coldly.

"Yes!" Soldiers immediately took Fang La down.

All the maritime merchants looked at the evil doctor Fan Zheng who was sitting in the chair in silence. Who would have thought that the Holy Father of Manichaeism would be played by the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Keep playing music, keep dancing! The world is still peaceful and prosperous!" Fan Zheng said with a big wave of his hand.

At that moment, the entire Peace Hotel immediately became lively, with singing and dancing going on, people drinking and drinking, and it looked like a scene of peace and prosperity.

Only the burning ships on the Huangpu River gradually became silent after a long time, while waves of riots broke out in the city of Shanghai, which were immediately suppressed with force.

Within the Liangzhe Road, the secret strongholds of Manichaeism were cleared one by one, and there was no trace of Manichaeism in the entire Song Dynasty. (End of chapter)
