After his anger subsided, Zhao Zhen thought of more practical problems.
Even if there was the Mercy Boathouse, was there also the Zen of meditation?
As their old rival, the demonic sect probably had an inheritance too, right?
These three forces represented the struggle between Taoism and Buddhism.
Especially the Demon Sect. Although it was called the Demon Sect, it was mainly based on Dao. In fact, it was a combination of the various schools of thought before the Pre-Qin era.
In other words, it represented the crystallization of the wisdom of the native ancestors.
However, due to various reasons, it was branded with the symbol of evil!
Since he had already made a great oath and had a clear goal, Zhao Zhen still felt that this world was getting more and more interesting.
At the right time, Bao Zheng came to see him again.
"Long live the report. The situation of the Joyful Sect is getting worse and worse.”
As expected, he was here for the matter of the Joyful Sect.
"Why do you say that, Minister Bao?" Zhao Zhen frowned.”
"This subject followed the imperial edict and informed the Great Xiangguo Temple that they sent out another forty-nine eminent monks.
The situation was unclear to begin with, and the Joyful Sect had shown the intention of holding the monks hostage and threatening the court.
At that time, I strongly opposed it and only allowed them to send a representative to enter. However, the eminent monks did not listen to my advice and entered the Joyful Sect together with the excuse that if I did not enter hell, who would enter hell? Moreover…"
At this point, Bao Zheng hesitated.
Zhao Zhen could understand the first part.
It was impossible for the Great Prime Minister Temple to know that the current Emperor, Zhao Zhen, had long seen through their scheme.
And because it was a royal monastery, they naturally thought that they were very important.
The more people they sent as hostages, the more they could force him to compromise and the Imperial Court to submit.
This was within Zhao Zhen's expectations.
However, Bao Zheng's sudden hesitation made Zhao Zhen realize that the situation had changed.
"So what?"
"I don't dare to hide anything from you. Guard Zhan has contacted many people and many chivalrous people have come.
Influenced by the eminent monks of the Daxiangguo Temple and their willingness to sacrifice for the common people, nearly a hundred people volunteered to protect them.
However, other than the eminent monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple, all of them were killed and their corpses were sent out, which had already affected the morale of the army.”
What a great Great Xiangguo Temple.
He was clearly in cahoots with the Joyous Sect and entered as a hostage, but he still wanted to bewitch the people and kill nearly a hundred righteous men.
His shameless face was disgusting enough.
Such actions were actually to put the Imperial Court in their place and force the Imperial Court to compromise for them.
Giving the Imperial Court a show of strength was giving Zhao Zhen a show of strength!
"It seems that the people who killed the Joyful Sect thought that the palace had already raised a consecrator.
They did not realize that the members of the imperial family already had the power to break through the mortal world.
It was even more impossible for him to think that it was him, the emperor, who possessed such strength. This was very good!”
Zhao Zhen was still looking at Bao Zheng quietly as he was secretly muttering in his heart.
"Long live, although these chivalrous people were summoned by Guard Zhan, they sacrificed their lives for the country.
Since they had ended up like this, they could not be dealt with lightly.
Therefore, I would like to ask Wansui how to deal with their corpses.”
"Whether it is for the country or for the people, as long as you have these two characteristics, you will be a respected hero.
He chose a good place with good Feng Shui to build a chivalrous tomb. On both sides of the lintel, there were carvings of chivalrous figures for the country and the people.
They would be buried in a grand manner, and the government would send someone to take care of the cemetery. In order to show their righteous deeds, the government would host a national sacrifice every year, and the commoners could also pay their respects at any time!”
As soon as he said this, Bao Zheng's face was filled with submission.
This was because it was a sign of respect for the dead, and also a more obvious signal.
The era of valuing literature over martial arts had passed.
The Song Dynasty would no longer be ruled by a group of weak scholars.
Especially those who were chivalrous. The eight characters that were hand-picked for the country and the people could restrain the people in the Jianghu from breaking the ban with martial arts. As long as they were really for the country and the people, they would also receive the greatest glory.
The current government was really too wise!
A decision made in the blink of an eye was so perfect.
This made Bao Zheng feel respect and admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"Long live the Sacred!"
Bao Zheng bowed. His voice was unusually loud because of his respect and admiration.
At this moment, a young eunuch on duty outside entered the royal study.
"Long live the Kaifeng Prefecture Dynasty, bringing Master Wu Bei here to seek an audience!”
At this moment, the so-called master must be the monk of the Great Xiangguo Temple.
The double act was here.
"Announce!"
Zhao Zhen's eyes were cold as he spoke.
He wanted to see what kind of face the monk, who clearly did not care about the prosperity of the country and the safety of the emperor, would show when he secretly stole and showed mercy.
A moment later, Wang Chao, who was dressed in service clothes, supported a frail and injured old monk into the room.
However, Zhao Zhen could already tell that his Dharmic powers were extremely powerful.
He was already at the perfected Connate realm.
"Long live, this poor monk is polite!"
After Wang Chao knelt down and bowed, he stood to the side. Sorrowless then put his palms together and said very " respectfully."
"Master Wu Bei, there's no need to be so polite. Hurry up and tell me the specific situation of the Joyful Sect!”
Zhao Zhen didn't show any emotion as he spoke calmly.
Seeing that the other party was deliberately hiding his strength, Zhao Zhen also did not reveal his strength.
This was a function that came with the system.
As long as he did not release his strength, he would be an out-and-out ordinary person in anyone's eyes.
"Amitabha, good, good!"
Wu Bei put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha before speaking slowly.
