Chapter 4482
"Duke Yue, absolutely not!"
"Fang Erlang, this is a good official. Although you are persecuted, but after all, for the sake of our people, can you be lenient?"
"Bah! When did Fang Er's stick ever speak the truth? This is a muddlehead who turns black and white, frames Zhongliang, and a big treacherous minister!"
"Hey, that's over. Which one of us Guanzhong people has never received the favor of Fang Erlang? You can't pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to scold your mother!"
……
The people around were furious and pleaded for Pei Yi one after another. After all, Pei Yi's behavior was disrespectful to Fang Jun, but his original intention was to control the flood for the people. With Fang Erlang's kindness, he should not be blamed, let alone arrested.
Pei Yi faced the common people and said loudly: "Everyone, don't do this. Fang Erlang is an important minister in the court, with power in the court and the public, representing the face of the court. It is really a great mistake for me to persecute Fang Erlang with this small way. Please stand on my behalf." Wouldn't interceding make me suspect of coercing public opinion? As long as Fang Erlang can get the stones from Xingjiao Temple, I will have no regrets even if I can be whipped and lose this official position."
What he said brought tears to the eyes of the people: "This is an upright official!"
"If Erlang insists on inflicting harm, wouldn't he be turning black and white, punishing the good and promoting the evil?"
"Erlang, don't make mistakes!"
……
The soldiers obeyed, stepped forward and knocked Pei Yi to the ground, and tied his hands behind his back with a rope. Pei Yi's face was calm, he was happy and fearless, and his whole body was awe-inspiring and upright.
Ma Zhou glanced at Pei Yi, and whispered to Fang Jun, "This person's motives are not pure, but if he is arrested in public, it will definitely cause public opinion, and it will be extremely bad for Erlang's reputation. We should let it go for now and consider it in the long run."
In the eyes of these common people, Pei Yi is an upright official who wants to obtain stones for flood control at any cost. For the sake of the homes and lives of the common people, he would rather offend such a powerful figure as Fang Jun, who is dismissed from office and jailed today. And the person who arrested this honest official is naturally a traitor and a villain.
The minds of the people are so simple, either good or bad, black or white.
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Fame is useful to others, but it is useless to me. With my current status and power, if I want to have a reputation as a corporal, fair and honest... I want to learn from Xindu. ?”
The Marquis of Xindu is Wang Mang.
Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and humble... Wang Mang was a man of humility, self-denial, incorruptibility, virtuous corporal, and almost all the advantages of human nature. The ruling and opposition parties praised him, thinking that he was comparable to the ancient saints .
However, such a person with a reputation close to perfection eventually usurps the Han Dynasty and establishes a new dynasty, becoming a model for thousands of years. Since then, people with a reputation for love have been feared by generations of emperors, lest there will be another Wang Mang by their side...
Ma Zhou thought about it, and nodded in agreement.
The imperial power is supreme, and those who are the most powerful ministers should be cautious in their words and deeds, so as not to touch the taboos of the imperial power, otherwise even father and son siblings can turn against each other, let alone just a mere courtier?No matter how important Fang Jun is to Li Chengqian, once the imperial power is involved, there will be no ruthless distinction. Either the emperor will cut off the threat, or Fang Jun will really follow Wang Mang and usurp the community...
Based on Ma Zhou's knowledge of Fang Jun, the latter will definitely not happen, so we must pay more attention to it.
Fang Jun said to the soldiers: "Take this fang and hand it over to the 'Hundred Riders' for interrogation, and say that I suspect that this fang obstructs water control and damages my reputation, has sinister intentions, and is suspected of plotting to overthrow the empire. Please 'Hundred Knights' The cavaliers will interrogate them strictly, and clarify the people they have been in close contact with, and screen them one by one, but if anyone finds that they have misbehaved, no matter what their status is, they will all be arrested and interrogated!"
Perhaps the flooding and bursting of the dike this time was not a conspiracy against him, but Pei Yi's remarks, no matter whether he went to Xingjiao Temple to obtain stones or not, he would fall into a passive position. It is an "overt conspiracy" with a lot of means.
And this Pei Yi, as an official of the Ministry of Industry, happened to stir up such a thing when he was present. If he said that it was just an unintentional mistake, he would never believe it.
"Here!"
The soldiers lifted Pei Yi up, dragged him and walked back.
Pei Yi's complexion changed drastically, he didn't think that Fang Jun was in a high position and still didn't change his temper as a "stick". He didn't care about his reputation at all and wanted to take him out for interrogation. Where is the "Hundred Knights"?Good people have to peel their skins when they go in, not to mention how can I be innocent after being an official for most of my life?
Immediately shouted: "How can you wantonly frame and maliciously frame?"
Fang Jun said leisurely: "Whether it is framed or not, you have nothing to say. After the 'Baiqisi' rigorous investigation, if you prove your innocence, I will come to the door to apologize, otherwise, you will wait to be dismissed from office and leave your family. Exile."
His Majesty does not want to kill people, but he has a soft spot for exile. After all, the frontiers are sparsely populated. If you want to occupy those wild places for a long time, you must continue to immigrate to fill the borders, and ordinary good families are willing to leave their homes and travel thousands of miles. ?Only those prisoners are the best choice.
Prisoners, according to their crimes and responsibilities, will be allocated land and houses after being "reformed through labor" under the supervision of the army for different periods of time in the frontier, and will be given local household registration to defend the country and reclaim the territory for generations.
"Intellectuals" like Pei Yi are exactly the talents that the frontiers desperately need...
Pei Yi wanted to yell for mercy, but his mouth was gagged by the soldiers, he was dragged aside and put on the horse's back, and he galloped away.
Fang Jun looked at the people in front of him who either had a bad look or were unspeakably disappointed, and said with a smile: "This commander-in-chief, why do you need others to tell you what to do? Everyone, follow me to Xingjiao Temple. If he dares not give stones, I will do it today." Smashed his mountain gate!"
"Okay! This is Fang Erlang!"
"Since you have decided to go to ask for the stone, why arrest that upright official?"
"Hehe, it's the first day you know Fang Er? This is a donkey, so please take care of yourself!"
……
A group of people marched southward, heading straight for Xingjiao Temple south of Duqu.
On the way, Ma Zhou was worried: "This Xingjiao Temple is expanded according to Master Xuanzang's intention. If the monks in the temple refuse to donate stones, what should we do?"
Seeing Fang Jun leading a large group of people in a mighty murderous manner, Ma Zhou was terrified. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the royal family of the Li family claimed to be the descendant of Lao Dan, so they advocated Taoism and suppressed Buddhism. It has been deeply rooted for a hundred years, how can it be easily suppressed?And as Master Xuanzang brought back a large number of Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu, the prestige of Buddhism skyrocketed, and the theory was so advanced that even the talented and powerful His Majesty Li Er had to avoid him for the time being, and had to confer Xuanzang a series of official positions. In order to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the country.
Therefore, Buddhism is now at its peak, once it is angered, not only countless believers will attack Fang Jun, but the government and the opposition will even make trouble.
Fang Jun rode on, disapproving: "So what about Buddhism? He really became a tiger's butt and couldn't touch it? Back then, that little thief from Bianji was hailed as an outstanding figure of the new generation of Buddhism, with profound Dharma and high prestige. Lao Tzu was forced to go far away in the south of the Five Ridges without any news? Unless Xuanzang comes in person, the rest are out of my sight."
Ma Zhou became more and more worried: "You can't mess around!"
Based on his understanding of Fang Junzhi, this man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, dared to step on Han Wangfu and beat Qi Wangyou back then, who knows that he can't smash the gate of Xingjiao Temple today?
That's a hornet's nest...
"I have my own opinion, brother Bin Wang, don't worry! Drive!"
As Fang Jun said in his mouth, he stepped on his horse and led hundreds of people straight to Xingjiao Temple.
……
Xingjiao Temple stands on the south side of the original Shaoling Mausoleum and the southern section of Fanchuan. It is impossible to know when it was built. The few temples surrounded by gable walls have long been dilapidated. The carved lacquer is peeling off, the doors and windows are rotten, and even the mountain gate is crumbling under the rain for many days since late autumn.
However, this place is backed by mountains and faces the river, with undulating hills and plains, Tibetan wind gathers energy, and Fengshui is excellent. Therefore, Master Xuanzang planned to rebuild this temple, and then moved here to live in seclusion and continue the heavy and vast work of translating Buddhist scriptures.
Outside the mountain gate, everyone got off their horses one after another. Ma Yiyi pulled Fang Jun's sleeve and reminded: "In the place of Buddhism, it is better to be respectful and low-key. It is best if you can ask for stone materials. If the monks in the temple don't allow it, we will send it to you again." Think of ways to."
Fang Jun said seriously: "If a man does not do something, he must do something. How can a mere Buddhist sect compare with the life and death of the people? When I go to requisition stone materials to control the flood and relieve the people's misfortune, if the monks in the temple agree, then let it go. Never give up!"
The righteous words made Ma Zhou one head and two big. Just now he said that he was afraid that his reputation would cause His Majesty to be afraid, but now he has become a good official who pleads for the people again?
The people who came with him have already clamored, "Erlang is mighty!"
"I already said when Erlang let us little people down?"
"The official was just talking about it before, but Fang Erlang is really doing real things!"
The monks inside the mountain gate had already discovered that hundreds of people were coming straight to the temple, and they were terrified. Although Buddhism has been prosperous in recent years and has countless believers, even the government has taken it easy. I am particularly afraid. After all, with the prosperity of Buddhism, there are many good and bad. Many monks are greedy for money and coax believers to donate incense. There are also money lenders who often make people's homes ruined. What's more, some young and strong monks seduce female pilgrims do shitty things...
Once public resentment is aroused and public anger is aroused, it is an extremely bad incident. Even if the monks are beaten and the gate of the mountain is smashed, it can only be ignored. Shall I do it?
The people are not only the foundation of the country, but also the foundation of Buddhism. If you put Buddhism on the opposite side of the people, wouldn't you be digging your own grave?
The monk who was guarding the gate trotted all the way to the Daxiong Hall, and informed the host about the hundreds of people flocking in. The host also realized that something was wrong, so he quickly put on his cassock, and called a dozen strong monks to go to the mountain gate to check what happened. , Beating people is definitely not allowed, but you also need to bring a few more people to prevent yourself from being beaten...
