After the monk mentioned the two of them, he asked curiously: "How does master plan to deal with them?"

"Just call me Duke Guiyang..."

Liu Yizhen said weakly, but his attitude was still extremely tough when it came to the issue of Monk Hu.

"The murderer will be punished. There is nothing to say."

But the monk carefully dissuaded them: "What Master said is absolutely true, but does Master really want to kill them at this time?"

Although the monk guide is a monk, he is not involved in officialdom politics.

But the monk's age is still there, and after going through so many ups and downs, he can still see some things.

What's the meaning?

Liu Yizhen looked at the monk's expression with some confusion.

The monk guide said: "Mr. Guiyang, it's not a month ago now."

Liu Yizhen suddenly realized it, but then he frowned.

He knew that the monk was reminding him.

The current Liu Yizhen is not as transparent as before. Everything is blocked by the people left by Liu Yu.

Since moving to Qianli Hetao, Liu Yizhen's influence has grown more and more, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at him.

Everyone understands that Liu Yizhen is no longer the "Liu Yu Zhizi", he is the Duke of Guiyang of the Jin Dynasty, the governor of Yongzhou, the general of Anxi, etc.

In the future, Liu Yizhen's own thoughts may affect the lives and deaths of countless people in Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Liu Yizhen touched his nose and fell into deep thought.

He hadn't thought of this before.

But now things are getting more and more involved, and Liu Yizhen cannot afford not to dig deeper.

Religious issues, Han and Hu issues...

Suddenly Liu Yizhen asked the monk guide: "Master, I would like to ask if there is any involvement from the Guanzhong family in this temple?"

The monk guide didn’t hide it either.

"It is true that some pilgrims from big families will come to donate property, and I will leave the rest to my disciples, so I don't know what other matters there are."

Okay.

Family issues also surfaced.

Thinking of some of the intriguing words Wang Xiu said to himself that day.

Now Liu Yizhen has confirmed that this matter was tailor-made for him by Wang Xiu.

Although the development of things is always related to each other, such a straightforward connection cannot be explained by the word "coincidence".

What does Wang Xiu want to do?

At this time, Liu Yizhen felt extremely uncomfortable.

He was always very polite to Wang Xiu, and he didn't dare to express his sincerity, but he was still honest with him.

But Wang Xiu had some conspiracy against him.

Liu Yizhen clenched his fists, suppressed the discomfort in his heart and began to analyze Wang Xiu's actions.

Betray Liu Yizhen?

That's not enough, otherwise Wang Xiu would have too many opportunities when Helian Bobo attacked Guanzhong.

For power?

No, Liu Yizhen didn't care, and Wang Xiu was the actual person in power in Guanzhong.

For money?

That's even more impossible.

Eliminate all impossibilities, and whatever is left is still the answer no matter how absurd it is.

Wang Xiu wanted to push Liu Yizhen to the front and let Liu Yizhen take charge of Guanzhong.

Liu Yizhen's clenched fists loosened slightly.

He remembered that Wang Xiu had asked him that night why he didn't kill anyone himself?

And Wang Xiu’s phrase “I scared myself”?

Perhaps Wang Xiu had already seen some of Liu Yizhen's thoughts.

Otherwise, Wang Xiu would not have said that Liu Yizhen "did too little" that night.

At this time, Liu Yizhen's face looked extremely bright, turning black, flushing, and pale for a while.

This frightened both Director Seng and Pei Fangming.

"Master..."

"Do not talk!"

Liu Yi was really reviewing Wang Xiu's thoughts in his mind.

Wang Xiu knew Liu Yizhen quite well. He knew that with Liu Yizhen's jealous character, after receiving this file, he would not waste much time in bringing people to destroy the murderous Caotang Temple.

Facts have proved that if Liu Yizhen had not known that the monk guide had saved his life in history, he would have acted in this way given Liu Yizhen's character.

When the time comes, Wang Xiu can use this as a guide to detonate some conflicts in Guanzhong.

I would like to ask if Liu Yizhen knew that some things happened because of him, would Liu Yizhen still be the hands-off shopkeeper as before?

And because Buddhism involves so many things, Wang Xiu has almost infinite chess pieces in his hands.

For example, today some Hu people say that Liu Yizhen is unfair to the Hu people, tomorrow some Buddhists will come out and say that Liu Yizhen is disrespectful to the Buddha, and the day after tomorrow some aristocratic families will come out and say that Liu Yizhen is not considerate of the people.

As long as Liu Yizhen solves one problem, Wang Xiu will leave another one for Liu Yizhen to do.

As time goes by, it will be difficult for Liu Yizhen to escape.

"Excessive!"

Liu Yizhen was so angry that his teeth itched and his eyes were filled with cold light.

He hated the feeling of being led around.

Although Wang Xiu is actually kind to Liu Yi.

But Liu Yizhen was completely unwilling to appreciate it.

This feeling of being treated as a chess piece made Liu Yizhen very unhappy.

"Pei Fangming! Go back with me! I want to settle the score with Wang Xiu!"

Pei Fangming looked confused.

Why does it involve Wang Xiu?

Aren't we talking about Monk Hu?

And what did Wang Xiu do that made people angry? Judging from Liu Yizhen's expression, it was no longer angry, it was simply furious!

"Mr. Guiyang, what should we do with those two monks?"

Liu Yizhen took a long breath.

"kill!"

"But not here!"

"Catch the person, list his crimes, and publicly display them!"

This is obviously not enough to silence some people.

But at least the attitude must be made clear.

In Liu Yizhen's mind, the Buddhist problem can be suppressed and killed by violent means, but the method of solving the Hu-Han problem is definitely not the same.

Buddhism is still a foreign product, and its integration with the local Chinese civilization is not as deep as that of later generations. It can still be stopped with a little effort.

But the Hu people and the Han people are not incompatible.

After a long period of integration and struggle, we have become one among you.

Learning to be open to coexistence with many ethnic groups like Li Tang is the best solution.

Even if you want to kill, you can't deliberately do it in the name of "killing the barbarians". You can only find some legitimate reasons to clean out some of the thorns in the barbarians.

Only with a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other can you tame the opponent to the greatest extent.

It's just that the middle degree is difficult to grasp.

If you give too much carrots, the result will be the Anshi Rebellion.

The stick is not strong enough, and the consequences will be the disgrace of Jingkang.

To say that the one with the best grasp of this balance is actually not the Han Dynasty.

But the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty did so many unscrupulous things in China - the Ten Days in Yangzhou and the Three Massacres in Jiading. Compared with the Jurchens, the Mongols were even worse. But in the end when the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, there were still so many people with pigtails

The Han people cried and shouted to be loyal to the Manchus, which fully demonstrated that the Manchus' methods were superb.

If Liu Yizhen didn't use this method, it would be a crime.

But now is not the time to think about this.

Liu Yizhen wants to return to Chang'an and settle the accounts with Wang Xiu!
Chapter completed!
