Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 56 Have your own moral bottom line

Zhao Mu's words made it clear to Elder Xu that it was not true even if he didn't say it.

Even Grandma Tan who was invited by him was the same. Originally, Grandma Tan didn't want to get involved in this matter because she had a close relationship with Xuanci, but she couldn't stand up to Elder Xu's face.

But after Zhao Mu made such a fuss, they didn't know what to say.

Now Zhao Mu's word "forgery" directly blocked their words. No matter what they said, they would be accused by him of Elder Xu's conspiracy to seize power. And the person who signed the letter was Xuanci. I'm afraid no one will believe me even if I say it.

Although Zhao Qiansun was the one who experienced it, he was crazy.

And just when everyone was speechless and didn't know how to end it.

Only one sound of "Amitabha" was heard.

Everyone looked around and saw a kind-hearted old monk slowly walking over.

When Elder Xu saw this old monk, he felt as if Quan Guanqing had seen him. When he saw Master Zhiguang arriving, it was as if he had grasped at straws. He quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Master Zhiguang came to Elder Xu and said, "Amitabha, I am so late, please forgive me for my sins."

Elder Xu grabbed Master Zhiguang's arm and said, "Master Zhiguang came not too late, he came just in time."

As he spoke, Elder Xu pulled Master Zhiguang to the front of everyone, and then Elder Xu said: "This is Master Zhiguang from Tiantai Mountain. He is also the guest I invited this time. Everyone must know Master Zhiguang's character. Today, Let him prove the matter, which must be enough to convince everyone!"

Although none of the younger members of the Beggar Clan present knew the name of Monk Zhiguang, everyone in the older generation knew it.

Qiao Feng and the four elders of the Beggar Clan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and salute.

Zhao Mu also looked up and down at Master Zhiguang in front of him.

Compared with other monks, Zhao Mu has a high favorability towards Master Zhiguang. Because Master Zhiguang is a true Buddha.

He is not like the Shaolin monks who open the gates of the mountain, collect incense and money from above, and teach the world with arrogance.

Master Zhiguang personally went deep into the people and tried his best to resolve the sufferings of the people. Although he did the wrong thing of killing the Qiao Feng tribe because of Murong Bo's deception, he has always repented over the years and used actions to redeem his sins.

And when this incident was revealed, he chose to swallow Xuanci's signature to defend Xuanci. And then he resisted all the sins against Qiao Feng, not letting Qiao Feng live in hatred, and not letting another drop of blood be shed in this world.

Although Zhao Mu hates those smelly monks who are sanctimonious and have nothing to do with production.

But he still has great respect for Master Zhiguang, a Buddhist who saves the world and saves all people from the sea of ​​suffering.

Zhao Mu also stepped forward and raised his hands and said: "It turns out that Master Zhiguang is here. Zhao Mu is being polite. Master has been practicing medicine for many years to save people from fire and water. I admire you very much. I don't expect to be lucky enough to meet you today."

Although Master Zhiguang didn't know who the young man in front of him was, he still returned the gift politely.

Before Master Zhiguang could speak, Zhao Mu snorted coldly at Elder Xu and said, "Humph! Elder Xu has such a deep plan. It wasn't enough for you to use tricks to defraud the Tan family, Mr. and Mrs. Shan, and his son to come here to give false testimony. You actually also tricked Zhiguang into doing so. The master also came here under false pretenses. If Master Zhiguang also gave false testimony on your behalf, wouldn’t Master Zhiguang’s reputation be completely ruined?”

Elder Xu was already trembling with anger from Zhao Mu. He pointed at Zhao Mu and said, "You!"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhiguang was also stunned.

Although Zhao Mu wanted to help Qiao Feng completely clear his name this time, he still didn't want to drag a good person like Master Zhiguang into trouble.

Although Master Zhiguang also participated in the murder of Qiao Feng's mother, what does this matter have to do with Zhao Mu?

Zhao Mu is not the selfless Bao Longtu, nor is he a "just hero" who insists on upholding justice. He has his own set of moral bottom lines.

Right or wrong doesn't matter at all as long as it's in his interest. But if it harms the interests in his heart, then even if it is right, he will find a way to confuse right and wrong.

In essence, he is the same type of person as Quan Guanqing, but it is a pity that Quan Guanqing is only an accomplished scholar. The biggest pattern of his life is to be a "beggar head".

Zhao Mu, on the other hand, was deeply influenced by the powerful people in Beijing, and he was more like a real "politician". He is even more hypocritical. What's more, people who come from a family of officials and have experienced ups and downs in the officialdom will not live long if they are not hypocritical and do not become "hypocrites".

Black-and-white diode thinking will definitely not last three days in official terms.

If you are a simple good person, you will be ostracized and persecuted by your colleagues, and eventually you will be slapped with a big label, and then kicked out of the core of power.

If you are a pure bad person without covering up or establishing a moral cloak for yourself, but are always arrogant and domineering, then you are seeking death.

Therefore, Zhao Mu is a complete "hypocrite".

Take Duan Yu, Qiao Feng, and Master Zhiguang as an example.

He helped Duan Yu because he had an affair with Dao Baifeng. Dao Baifeng cared about her son and Duan Zhengchun's irresponsible husband. So as Dao Baifeng's lover, he naturally had to help her deal with some things that she couldn't do. trouble, it is a sense of responsibility for personal purposes.

He helped Qiao Feng because he admired Qiao Feng as a person and respected Qiao Feng's brother's loyalty. I don't want Qiao Feng, a heroic and heroic person, to be ruined. He helped Qiao Feng out of brotherly loyalty.

As for not pulling Master Zhiguang into the water, it was out of his own selfish motives.

Although Master Zhiguang was wrong, he thought he was killing Khitans and barbarian Tatars. And what he treated were thousands of people in his Song Dynasty.

Zhao Mu was the Marquis of the Song Dynasty, so he naturally put the interests of the Song Dynasty and the interests of the Han people first. He would not persecute a "living Bodhisattva" who saved thousands of people of the Song Dynasty for the sake of the lives and deaths of several Khitan people. What's more, the fault does not entirely lie with Master Zhiguang.

The Khitan people were plowing grass and valleys on the border, robbing and causing harm to countless people. As the Marquis of the border area, Zhao Mu saw this with his own eyes.

I don’t know how many Han people were killed and enslaved by them, and I don’t know how many Han women were raped by the Khitans and sold as goods.

Within his territory alone, thousands of people have disappeared in the Liao Kingdom outside the Pass in recent years, and it is not known that they were killed. Still got robbed.

What's more, Xiao Yuanshan belongs to the Xiao family of the Liao Dynasty. When the old witch Queen Xiao went south to invade the Song Dynasty, the Liao soldiers did not leave any chickens or dogs behind. Not to mention ordinary people, even the famous Tianbo Yang Mansion had many people die at the hands of generals of the Xiao family.

As the Marquis of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Mu had to pity his family's "old enemy" and embarrass his family's "living Bodhisattva", then he was really smart.

What's more, in Zhao Mu's opinion, it is not as important to cultivate kindness as to give birth to kindness.

The Qiao couple knew that Qiao Feng was not their biological son, but they went through all kinds of hardships to raise him.

Master Xuanku knows Qiao Feng's true identity and helps Qiao Feng become a talent regardless of his background. This kind of kindness cannot be compared to Xiao Yuanshan, a biological father who ruined his son's reputation.

Therefore, even if Master Zhiguang and Abbot Xuanci committed indiscriminate killing of innocent people, Zhao Mu would not hold him and Xuanci accountable. As for the Xuanci family, he will also pursue Ye Erniang for her crime of harming the baby.

　This chapter is a bit "watery".

　　The author has been really annoyed these days.

　　With the appearance of Master Zhiguang, let’s explain the character of the male protagonist.

　　The setting of the male protagonist is that the officials and princes are "hypocrite politicians", not simple heroes of justice.

　　He only thinks about and handles problems from his own perspective, his own interests, his own standpoint, and his own moral cognition.

　　So don’t dwell on the issue of the male protagonist being a hypocrite.

　　The good thing about Tian Long Ba Bu is that there are not many simple good people.

　　Qiao Feng also robbed the government when he was short of money, Xu Zhu also broke the sexual and murder warnings.

　　The only one who can be considered a gentleman is the silly Duan Yu.
