Four hundred and thirtieth eight chapters guilty edict
Three days passed, but the officials did not take any action. They did not even issue an order to inquire about Lin Lingsu. They seemed to have completely forgotten such a person. The huge Shenxiao sect became famous for a while in the hands of Lin Lingsu, but in this day
The smoke disappeared; the Taoist temples and temples and nunneries that had been occupied by the Shenxiao sect were also returned. The Taoist priests, monks, and nuns were so grateful that they set up countless longevity tablets for the Ximen Imperial City envoys and prayed day and night.
This incident made Ximen Qing the most discussed person among civil and military officials, and the Imperial City Secretary once again proved his existence.
How could he be so favored by the officials? The Imperial City Division took decisive action at the critical moment and imprisoned Mr. Tongzhen Daling, and the Shenxiao sect ceased to exist.
This method made more people start to pay attention to this humble person who rose to become a popular envoy of Ximen Imperial City.
When it comes to the Imperial City Division, some people may not know King Zhao Kai, but they all know that the Imperial City Division has an amazing Ximen Qing.
The performance of Ximen Qing and the Imperial City Secretary made some people secretly become more and more vigilant. On the other hand, some people tried to reach out to Ximen Qing, preparing to make friends and win over them.
This group of people was headed by Cai Jing, the grand master of the dynasty, who made no secret of his invitation to Ximen Qing in front of all the officials that day.
When this kind of behavior fell into the eyes of Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu and others, they naturally had different ideas.
On the fourth day, Zhao Ji finally went to court to face the civil and military officials, and his face finally looked better.
The Taojun emperor announced three things through Huangmenguan.
First, Lin Lingsu will be deprived of the title of Mr. Tongzhen Daling, and the title of Ningshen Temple Server will also be deprived. Lin Lingsu and Zhang Ruhui will be sent to the Imperial City Prison to be dealt with separately.
Second, disband the Shenxiao Sect and drive all Shenxiao Sect disciples out of Bianliang; declare to the world that anyone who acts in the name of the Shenxiao Sect will be imprisoned by the local governments and will be deemed guilty of their actions.
Third, from today onwards, the title of Taoist Lord and Emperor will be cancelled. Anyone who mentions it will be held accountable.
The above two are just fine, but the third is far beyond the expectations of the civil and military officials. This is almost equivalent to a criminal edict for the officials. Although it does not specify whether they will continue to practice Taoism in the future, at least the officials will not do so in the future.
Then let a Taoist like Lin Lingsu get close to him.
Prince Zhao Huan and Prince Jia Zhao Kai were delighted. They both believed in Buddhism. This statement almost meant that their fathers would not force themselves to change their beliefs for a long time to come.
When Ximen Qing learned about these three edicts, he was sitting in the Imperial City Department and smiled at Wu Song. Ma Rulong said: "In this way, the world is finally a little more peaceful. Officials should not have such people around them. It is forbidden to
If you build a Taoist temple inside, trouble will happen sooner or later."
"Brother is right." Wu Song nodded and said, "This way King Jia can rest assured."
Since taking over from Qian Gui as the official, Ma Rulong has done things in an orderly manner. After listening to Ximen Qing's words, he said: "Master Ximen's move is really beautiful. Ma admires it. The collapse of the Shenxiao sect is really great."
There are a lot of manpower left..."
When Ximen Qing mentioned this, he said solemnly: "The number of newly added commanders is almost full. With the freed manpower, according to my opinion, we can start to focus on the north and south."
"North?" Ma Rulong frowned: "There have never been fewer black-clothed police officers looking at the Liao State General Affairs Bureau. Which is the south that Mr. Ximen is referring to?"
Ximen Qing played with the thunder stone and said slowly: "There is no big basket in the west, and there is not only the Liao Kingdom in the north, but also the Jin Kingdom! If intelligence work is not done early, and the war breaks out, it will be difficult for the police to act...
In the south, I heard that Mingjiao activities have been very frequent recently, especially among the Taoists in the south of the Yangtze River..."
"Jin Guo! Manichaeism!" Ma Rulong took a breath, feeling that Ximen Qing's words contained too much information.
Mingjiao, that is, Manichaeism, has been secretly preaching among the people. Ma Rulong has heard about it, but the information from the Jiangnan Taoists did not mention much... But the Ximen Imperial City envoy seems to value it very much...
How did Ma Rulong know that Ximen Qing's views came from his familiarity with Water Margin. Fang La's uprising only happened three years later. Of course, now we must take precautions in advance and solve it without using weapons, which is the best outcome.
"Quanzhou is the base camp of Mingjiao." Ma Rulong recalled some of the contents of the intelligence: "I will ask the police in black over there to pay more attention to it."
"There are also Muzhou and Shezhou!" Ximen Qing raised his forehead with his hands, and finally found Fang La's location from his memory, and added: "You should pay more attention to the area in western Zhejiang! It is said that there is a helmsman of the Mingjiao branch in western Zhejiang.
, this person should be paid close attention to!"
Ma Rulong felt sweat on his forehead: "Well... Sir Ximen, where did you get this information? Why don't I have any information here?"
The Imperial City Division's intelligence was always copied to the three event officials and promotion officials, and what Ximen Qing said was so accurate that Ma Rulong was confused.
"Huh?" Ximen Qing then remembered that he seemed to have made a big mistake. Fortunately, he didn't say Fang La's name, so he hurriedly covered it up with words: "Well... I watch the sky at night, and there are disaster stars in the south like brooms.
Generally speaking, it is estimated that it should be in Muzhou and Shezhou!"
Ma Rulong nodded slightly: "That's it!"
Next to him, Wu Song was ashamed. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know when the Mingjiao helmsman of the western Zhejiang branch had offended his brother and made him miss him so much.
"That's right!" Ximen Qing talked eloquently and became more and more smooth: "Then Lin Lingsu is a disaster star lurking around the official family. If I hadn't been proficient in celestial phenomena, how could I have known it in advance? The disaster star in the south is getting closer and closer.
It's getting brighter and brighter, if you don't pay attention in time, I'm afraid it will lead to a big mistake!"
"I'll order you to go down immediately!" Ma Rulong was nervous when he was told: "The Jin Kingdom in the north is also when Lord Ximen is observing the sky at night..."
Ximen Qing laughed loudly: "What Master Ma said is so good! There is a patch of red in the north, which is the symbol of war! Although the Kingdom of Jin has just been established, it is located in a bitter and cold land. Everyone who is strong and strong can be a soldier.
"I have been enslaved by the Liao Kingdom for too long. It is strange that there is no war..."
In this way, Ma Rulong is more acceptable than some Mingjiao helmsmen in the south; he knows the information about the rise of the Jin Kingdom in the north, and the Jin Kingdom has begun to slowly encroach on the land of the Liao Kingdom from the north, and the two tigers are fighting each other.
It is still unclear whether the Song Dynasty is a joy or a worry, so it is always right to pay attention in time.
"Brother is right." Wu Song also agreed with Ximen Qing's view: "The Jin people are very ambitious! Remember the father and son of the Zeng family in Zengtou City, they are the masterpieces of the Jin Kingdom!"
Ma Rulong nodded and sighed: "Zengtou City is a... In fact, after that, the Imperial City Division found signs of Jin activities in several places. The Jin people were indeed very ambitious. They had not yet defeated the Liao Kingdom.
He has already set his greedy eyes on me, Da Song!"
"I do have a plan that I want to discuss with you." Ximen Qing said: "At least half of the Chazi sent to the north must be elites, operating in the name of businessmen... The Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty are still nominally
In the country of brothers, it is best to do so in an unofficial capacity."
Ma Rulong spread his hands: "That's no problem. These people used to lurk all over the Liao Kingdom for a long time. Businessmen are the best cover, but...are you, Mr. Ximen, planning to do some business on the way?"
Ximen Qing laughed loudly: "My thoughts cannot escape the eyes of your Lord Ma. To do business, we also need information, so the transactions our people want to make must meet the needs of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom.
..For example, fine wine, spices, porcelain, etc., rice, not a single grain will be sold.”
Wu Song gave a thumbs up: "Brother is absolutely right, and what is being traded is the horse from the Liao Kingdom!"
Ma Rulong seemed to be very interested in this plan: "This will also increase a lot of funds for the Imperial City Department..."
"If Mr. Ma wants to start a business, I'm afraid he is also a good hand!" Ximen Qing praised, changing the topic: "Of course, my plan does not stop at this..."
The door to the house was rarely closed, and no one knew what the three criminals were planning inside.
But when the door of the room reopened, Ma Rulong's face was filled with an indescribable joy, and he held his hands at the same time.
Wu Song was thinking thoughtfully on the sidelines.
Ximen Qing showed them both not just a plan, but also a bright future.
Ma Rulong originally thought that Ximen Qing's proposal to increase manpower in the north might not be without selfish motives, but he did not expect that Ximen Qing's plan was so detailed and considered in every aspect.
If we proceed step by step and develop slowly as Ximen Qing said, neither the Liao Kingdom nor the Jin Kingdom will be a threat from the north anymore.
Great peace for the world! Blessings for the common people!
For the first time, Ma Rulong looked at the Ximen Imperial City Envoy with awe in his eyes. Ximen Qing's plan had gone beyond what he could imagine. Apart from acting according to the plan, Ma Rulong had no better choice.
Of course, as a veteran intelligence worker, Ma Rulong is still qualified to modify and improve the details of the plan.
But the plan Ximen Qing mentioned today has already plunged Ma Rulong into a deep shock.
If the plan succeeds...that glory belongs to Ximen Qing and the Imperial City Division!
Ma Rulong is glad that he is now sitting in the position of an event official and can personally experience the realization of this plan!
"It's easier said than done." Ximen Qing shrugged, naturally realizing that things may not develop exactly as he planned: "But at least with the efforts of the three of us, I believe we can
Keep the whole thing in the right direction.”
"Wu Song threw his head and blood without hesitation."
Wu Song spoke firmly, and his words were full of blood: "To carry out such a big plan in the north, someone needs to direct it in time...I'll go!"
