The Most Powerful Man in the World

To be honest, Lin Lingsu is quite satisfied with his current status, but if he is asked to run into the palace every day to compete with those people, to be honest, Lin Lingsu can't do it. Of course, Lin Lingsu is in Zhao Ji's house. In his eyes, that is the impression of an expert outside the world. He has always trusted Lin Lingsu, but Lin Lingsu does not need to go to great lengths to maintain his position in Zhao Ji's mind.

It can be said that as long as Lin Lingsu does not lose his cultivation level, then Zhao Ji will only value Lin Lingsu more and more. After all, while Zhao Ji is on guard against the royal family, he must draw other strong men to help him. Otherwise, , his throne is not stable at all.

I saw Lin Lingsu glanced at the Daotong and said, "Send someone to report to His Majesty, saying that Pindao is in retreat and practice, and he can't enter the palace to obey orders for a while."

Daotong's expression was calm, even though he knew very well that Lin Lingsu hadn't retreated and practiced at all, he nodded and walked out immediately.

The two little Huangmen who came to pass the decree heard Daotong's reply, and the two couldn't help but look at each other with a bit of surprise and embarrassment on their faces.

His Majesty's will was for them to invite Lin Lingsu to enter the palace, but Lin Lingsu could not enter the palace with them. As a result, the two little Huangmen were worried.

However, whether it was the Son of Heaven or Lin Lingsu, neither of them could offend them. The two of them glanced at the gate of the Imperial City Division, gritted their teeth, and one of them said, "I'll go back now. Your Majesty Gong Binming, you are here to wait for the news."

When the little Huangmen met Zhao Ji in a daze, Zhao Ji just threw the fish food in his hand into the pond. Several beauties in cool clothes were surrounding Zhao Ji, and gave the little Huangmen a faint look. Said: "But the real person was invited?"

Xiao Huangmen lay on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the slaves are incompetent, and you cannot invite the real person."

Wang Hao couldn't help but said: "It's ridiculous, Your Majesty said, how could Lin Lingsu not come here in accordance with the decree? Could it be that he has to resist the decree and be disrespectful?"

The little Huangmen quickly said with grievances: "We were not able to meet Lin Zhenren, but the boy of Zhenren told us that Zhenren was in retreat and could not enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

When Zhao Ji heard the words, there was a bit of indifference on his expression: "So that's the case, since that's the case, Wang Qing's family, it's up to you to go, and you must invite the real person Lin Lingsu."

The moment Wang Hao bowed his head to answer the order, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but he was a little curious in his heart. To say that Zhao Ji was so eager to summon Lin Lingsu was for Liang Shicheng's business, to be honest, Wang Hao was If he didn't believe it, at least he didn't believe that Zhao Ji would care so much about Liang Shicheng's whereabouts and his life and death.

But in such a hurry to summon Lin Lingsu, there must be something wrong.

In the Imperial City Division, the Taoist boy saw Lin Lingsu again and said, "Teacher, Your Majesty has sent Wang Hao to ask for an interview. I don't know about the teacher..."

This time, Lin Lingsu opened his eyes and said calmly, "Follow me and see Wang Qian."

In the living room, Wang Hao was sitting there drinking tea. Suddenly, the light in the living room dimmed, and a familiar figure appeared in his eyes.

When Wang Hao saw Lin Lingsu, he hurriedly put down the teacup, and at the same time stood up and greeted Lin Lingsu with a salute: "Wang Hao has seen the real person and disturbed the real person, it's really inappropriate, but your Majesty has something to discuss, and he still Please move in person."

Wang Hao and Lin Lingsu didn't have a deep friendship, so he made it clear as soon as he opened his mouth. Although he said a look of pleading, he made it clear in his words that the name was the emperor's move.

It seemed that he didn't hear Wang Fu's intention to use Zhao Ji to suppress him, Lin Lingsu sat down, just glanced at Wang Fu lightly, and said, "I also ask Wang Xianggong to return to the palace to report. Your Majesty Ming, it is said that Lin Lingsu is praying for His Majesty, and it is really impossible to enter the palace."

Wang Hao couldn't help being stunned, looked at Lin Lingsu with a solemn expression, and almost pointed at Lin Lingsu's face and cursed.

What kind of person is not a real person, apart from pretending to be a ghost and fooling the emperor, what ability does he have? At this moment, he says to pray for the emperor. Does this imply that His Majesty will have some calamity?

It seems that he has caught Lin Lingsu's handle, so Wang Hao's mind turned and his expression remained unchanged: "The real person has a heart. If Your Majesty knows that the real person is praying for him, he will definitely be very moved."

Lin Lingsu said very calmly: "Pindao only hope that there will be no disaster for Your Majesty."

Paying a salute to Lin Lingsu, Wang Hao said to Lin Lingsu: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for this official to disturb the real person to pray for His Majesty. Farewell..."

Watching Wang Hao leave, Lin Lingsu just said indifferently: "The mere fortunate minister even dares to play tricks in front of this real person, if the poor Dao doesn't teach you a lesson, you are really the kind of poor Dao who comes right away. The one who lingers?"

Daotong stood beside Lin Lingsu, shrank his neck, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, that person won't run to His Majesty to complain."

Lin Lingsu stroked his beard, looked like a master, and said with a bit of disdain: "I want him to go and complain to His Majesty."

This time, the little Daoist was even more confused, and obviously couldn't figure out why Lin Lingsu did this.

On the contrary, Wang Hao came out of the Imperial City Division looking angrily and frustrated, then turned his head and gave the Imperial City Division yamen a vicious look and said, "You're such a bully, you really don't eat a toast and eat a fine drink, and Your Majesty even dares to refuse repeatedly. , what blessing, is it really so easy to fool your majesty?"

In the palace, Wang Hao went to invite Lin Lingsu to invite Lin Lingsu, but he told Zhao Ji what Lin Lingsu ignored, and finally said: "Your Majesty, that Lin Lingsu dares to curse Your Majesty, You really don't put your Majesty in your eyes..."

Wang Hao was talking to himself, but he didn't notice that Zhao Ji's face changed slightly when he heard that Lin Lingsu was praying for her.

"enough."

At this moment, Wang Hao, who was counting down Lin Lingsu, suddenly heard an explosion in his ear, especially that the voice was Zhao Ji's voice, but it shocked Wang Hao.

Wang Hao raised his head and saw Zhao Ji's face filled with anger, his heart skipped a beat, but at this moment he realized that the emperor didn't seem to be angry because of Lin Lingsu, but rather was angry with him.

Realizing this, Wang Hao fell to the ground with a thud, pouted his buttocks and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty..."

Zhao Ji flicked his sleeves and said, "Zai Jia, I want to meet Lin Zhenren in person."

Soon Zhao Ji left the palace and went straight to the Imperial City Division.

Not long after, under the protection of a team of imperial guards, Zhao Ji stepped off the road and looked at the open gate of the Imperial City Division, and saw a figure of immortal style standing at the gate of the Imperial City Division. Who is the recruited Lin Lingsu?

Lin Lingsu stepped forward and bowed to Zhao Ji: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, nodded and walked into the Imperial City Division together with Lin Lingsu. , Could it be that there are other calamities that will befall me?"

Lin Lingsu said with a straight face: "Pindao did some calculations for His Majesty not long ago, but found that His Majesty had a disaster recently, so Pindao retreated and prayed for His Majesty, hoping to eliminate this disaster."

Hearing Lin Lingsu say this, Zhao Ji's expression changed to Lin Lingsu and said, "Really, can you tell me what disaster will happen to me?"

Lin Lingsu looked at Zhao Ji with a cautious look and shook his head slowly: "The secret cannot be leaked, once it leaks, even if His Majesty escaped the catastrophe this time, the catastrophe did not break out, it will only accumulate more and more. If it breaks out again in the future, the disaster will be even more terrifying."

Chapter 16 Chapter [-] Daomen's Wonderful Flower Forest Real Man

Wang Hao on the side couldn't help but curled his lips. In his opinion, Lin Lingsu was clearly talking nonsense and deceiving Zhao Ji. He didn't believe that someone as smart as Zhao Ji would not be able to see Lin Lingsu. trick.

Wang Hao only knew that Lin Lingsu was highly trusted by Zhao Ji. He thought that the reason for Lin Lingsu's trust in Zhao Ji was because Lin Lingsu was a powerful man and could be Zhao Ji's assistant. It seemed that Lin Lingsu was confusing Zhao Ji with nonsense.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Wang Hao raised his head and looked at Zhao Ji. Wang Hao was expecting Zhao Ji to be furious. It was best to directly point out what Lin Lingsu had deceived him, or to remove Lin Lingsu's identity directly.

But at this moment, Zhao Ji said to Lin Lingsu, "Since it's a matter of heaven, I won't ask any more questions. I don't know if there is any way to help me get rid of the calamity?"

Wang Hao widened his eyes from the side, looked at Zhao Ji in disbelief, and then looked at Lin Lingsu, Wang Hao only felt that his brain was not enough, what was wrong with this, and why it always seemed extremely Will the shrewd Zhao Ji be fooled by Lin Lingsu's easy-to-see lies?

Lin Lingsu's eyes lit up, looked at Zhao Ji, and said to Zhao Ji with a very solemn expression: "If Your Majesty really wants to eliminate his own disaster, there is indeed a way for the poor."

Zhao Ji said with a bit of joy: "The real person will come quickly."

Lin Lingsu flicked the dust in his hand, and said to Zhao Ji like an expert from outside the world: "His Majesty's predecessor was a god who came into the world, and the reason why there is a catastrophe is because of the great power of Shimen and the unpopularity of Taoism. , Your Majesty's root lies in the Taoist door, the Taoist door is not happy, your Majesty's fortune will naturally be hindered..."

Hearing Lin Lingsu say this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but hurriedly said: "It's actually like this, please ask a real person to teach me."

Lin Lingsu said sternly: "Your Majesty should be the gate of the Guangdao, the first thing to do is to cultivate the Taoist treasures, and secondly, the Buddhist teachings harm the Tao. Although it is immortal, it is necessary to combine and correct it, and change the Buddhist temple to a temple, the Buddha to the goddess, and the bodhisattva. Changed to a sergeant, an arhat changed to a venerable one, and a monk became a cleric, all of them kept their hair crowns and kept their heads.”

Wang Hao, who was on the side, was stunned, and his eyes almost fell out. If he hadn't heard about it with his own ears and seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a suggestion would come from Lin Lingsu's mouth.

Wang Hao is not a fool. If Zhao Ji really did what Lin Lingsu suggested, Shimen in the world still doesn't hate Zhao Ji in his heart, and the royal family of Song Dynasty will definitely be abandoned by Shimen in the world.

Even though the power of Daomen is stronger than that of Shimen today, Shimen has been inherited for thousands of years, and the background is not bad.

Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard Lin Lingsu's words, looked at Lin Lingsu and said, "Do you really want to translate it into Tao?"

Lin Lingsu said with a solemn expression: "For the sake of Your Majesty's fortune, this must be the case."

Zhao Ji just pondered for a while and then said to Lin Lingsu: "I'm sure, this matter will be handed over to the real person to supervise."

Lin Lingsu was overjoyed when he heard the words. His greatest ambition in his life was to make light of the Daomen. However, the biggest opponent of the Daomen was Shimen. For thousands of years, it was difficult for anyone to overpower the other. This time, Lin Ling Su is to be the first person to create the world, and to translate it into Tao.

Compared with resolving his own calamity, Liang Shicheng's whereabouts are naturally less important, but Zhao Ji, after Wang Hao's reminder, did not forget about Liang Shicheng, so he mentioned it and ordered the Imperial City Division to investigate Liang Shicheng's whereabouts.

In the land of Jiangnan, Manichaeism has broken more than a dozen large cities in a row, and it has already caused huge waves in the land of Jiangnan. However, compared with what happened in the imperial court, not many people paid attention to these waves.

On the same day, Lin Lingsu, the real person who was designated as the national teacher by the emperor's decree, wrote to the emperor, called the people of Taoism in the world, compiled Taoist Tibetans, and at the same time ordered the temples in the world to be changed into Taoist temples.Buddhist monks, all with hair and crowns and stickers.

In Lin Lingsu's memorial, it is not only suggested that the monastery be changed to a Taoist temple, the Buddhist disciples should grow their hair, but also the Buddhist Sakyamuni to be changed to the goddess, the bodhisattva to be called the great master, the arhat to be the venerable one, and the monk to be a virtue. Scholar, changed the Buddha to Dajue Jinxian Yi clothing, called the surname.

It can be said that if this memorial is approved by the Son of Heaven, then from now on, the ancestor of Buddhism will be called Tianzun, and the Buddhist Bodhisattva will be called Dashi, just like Guanyin Bodhisattva, who will be renamed Guanyin Dashi. , the Dragon Subduing Arhat, will be called the Dragon Subduing Venerable.That is to say, the names of Buddhism are all changed to the names of Taoism.

Although Lin Lingsu's move was not to destroy the Buddha, it was far more powerful than the destruction of temples and Buddha statues.

Even though Zhao Ji believed in Taoism, and among the courtiers, almost half of them believed in order to please Zhao Ji, but this did not mean that there were no Buddhist believers among the courtiers.

Although there were not many of these courtiers, they were not too few. For a time, Lin Lingsu's memorial blew up the court.

It can be said that the ministers have a lot of discussion about this. Some people support it, and naturally some people oppose it.

The visionary people realized that Lin Lingsu's move was aimed at suppressing Buddhism and prospering Taoism, but considering Lin Lingsu's identity, such a move was understandable, but Zhao Ji, as the emperor, if he really did this. If you do, you will inevitably lose the support of Buddhism.

Seeing that the ministers below were arguing about this, Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was condescending, suddenly coughed lightly, and all the people below looked at Zhao Ji.

Everyone knew very well that no matter whether they opposed or supported, it was Zhao Ji who had to make the final decision, which means that Zhao Ji's attitude determined whether Lin Lingsu's memorial could be passed.

I only heard Zhao Ji speak slowly: "I have watched the memorial of the real person, and after thinking about it for a long time, I deeply feel that this method is feasible..."

Many ministers couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, and even some ministers couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, this is the way to bring disaster..."

Zhao Ji has always acted according to his heart. As long as it is his decision, no one can make him change his mind. What's more, in Zhao Ji's view, he is doing this for the prosperity of Taoism. As for Buddhism, it is nothing more than a name change. What's the point? unacceptable.

What Shakyas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, it sounds good to hear that there are Venerables, Great Masters, and Celestial Venerables.

With all kinds of thoughts flashing in his heart, Zhao Ji said solemnly: "Enough, my will has been decided, and my will will be announced to the world tomorrow. If there is something to do, I will retreat to the court!"

The people below are still immersed in the impact of this imperial decree, and even if there are other things, they don't have the heart to mention it.

Zhao Ji looked at the reactions of the ministers below, and immediately got up and left.

After Zhao Ji left, without Zhao Ji, many of the courtiers immediately scolded Lin Lingsu. These people were either Buddhist believers, or they realized that Lin Lingsu's move would bring great influence to the Song Dynasty. What kind of hidden dangers are coming from the loyal people of the Song Dynasty.

There was such a big commotion in the capital of Song Dynasty here, and all the attention of everyone in the capital was immediately focused on the waves caused by the national teacher Lin Lingsu.

However, at this time, the land of Jiangnan was in chaos.

Manichaeism has been rooted in Jiangnan for decades. At the beginning, Manichaeism developed its followers very slowly in Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan is prosperous and people can still survive. , there are not many believers willing to join Manichaeism.

However, thanks to Zhao Ji, the treacherous officials in the DPRK ran rampant, and the disaster of Hua Shigang, the originally prosperous Jiangnan was turned into a miasma. I don’t know how many people have been displaced, but it was only a few short years. Subs skyrocketed dozens of times as much.

With the increase of believers, Manichaeism can be said to have increased its power in Jiangnan. If it were not so, how could Fang La and others have the confidence and confidence to dare to rebel.

After all, in the past few years, the Song Dynasty has been playing well with the outside world. However, under the scene of this peaceful and prosperous world, the Song Dynasty has already been corrupted.

It was through this point that they realized the powerlessness of the imperial court in pacifying the rebellions of Wangqing in Huaixi, Tianhu in Hebei, and Chaogai in Liangshan. Choose to fight.

Hangzhou City, such an important place in the south of the Yangtze River, has now fallen into the hands of Manichaeism, and dozens of surrounding counties have also been breached and fell into the hands of Manichaeism. For a time, Manichaeism had hundreds of thousands of troops and participated in the rebellion. The number of people has reached millions, and half of the land in the south of the Yangtze River has changed color.

On this day, Fang La, who was already the king in Jiangnan, was holding a meeting with his subordinates in a temporary palace.

Although it is said that there are many core locations of Manichaeism and various important towns occupied by the garrison, for example, Fang Jie, Fang Fei, Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue and others are in the city of Hangzhou.

A group of Fang La's confidants sat on both sides, Fang La in a luxurious robe looked at the group of people below and nodded to Fang Fei.

As a rare literati under Fang La, Fang Fei was even more relied upon by Fang La. After he became king, he made Fang Fei the prime minister and acted in government affairs.

Fang La's reaction was in the eyes of everyone, and everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Fei.

Fang Fei, who was wearing a green shirt, coughed lightly, stood up and looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, there is good news and bad news."

Deng Yuanjue, who was dressed in a monk's robe, laughed and said, "Prime Minister Fang, don't give up. What good news and what bad news can be said together."

Fang Fei couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He cupped his hands at Deng Yuanjue and said, "If that's the case, then I will rely on Master Deng, but Master Deng should not be angry when he hears it."

Deng Yuanjue scratched his head, with a look of doubt on his face. Could it be that this bad news has nothing to do with him?

On the other hand, other people showed some interest and looked at Fang Fei one by one.
