Chapter 922 The so-called superstition
Lin Rong, who decided to be a cruel official, was forced to take the initiative by Gao Fangping. Anyone who was confirmed in the judicial process would be taken to Caishikou and then executed. Because the social impact was extremely serious, it greatly damaged the customs of the people and the sense of security of the people. The crimes were extremely evil and there was no need to be killed.
On the contrary, there were not many true Taoist priests executed. Gao Fangping gave Song Dynasty policies some face and left some underwear to the sects trusted by the emperor. Most young Taoist priests focus on education, and do not be punished if they are punished with one-size-fits-all status.
In addition to killing those who were found guilty of death on judicial reasons, and then killing two hundred backbone members of various Taoist sects on the charge of "gang leader", Gao Fangping classified other Taoist priests as people who did not know the truth. They were not guilty, and they did not have labor reforms, but they needed to organize political studies.
Let the young SS give them popular science on the law, the principle is to brainwash them: I, the Great Devil, will not target anyone this time, but will target all the garbage. It doesn’t matter which sect, as long as you know a little, the teachings and family laws are smaller than the national laws.
Of course there is nothing wrong with such an official reason. When it comes to Zhao Ji, he is also upright and upright.
As a result, a large group of people cried blindly. Although they were true Taoist priests, they did not love them. They bought "Taozhi" at a high price after seeing the reputation of Taoist priests became popular. Now, although pork is so generous and not targeting Taoist priests, most of them who are cunning understand it. This is called "not only did not get the account, but also left the name of the thief.
Obviously, the Taoist priests would never dare to jump again in the future. Since they could not jump, they would still be a Taoist priest.
So no one is a fool. I understand that this is a political incident. Taoist priests will definitely be the focus of the blacklist in the future. So many true Taoist priests began to yell to leave the Taoist priests.
"Yes, it's okay to leave Taoist priests." Gao Fangping stood tall at the meeting where he scolded Taoist priests, "The rules in the world are naturally coming in and out horizontally. Among the gangs, people call this defection. However, for me, the people of the Song Dynasty are all free. No matter what the teachings say, they are less than the national law. Believing in religion is free or not. If you dare to make things difficult for you, let me tell me, and I will let them know who is the biggest gang in this land."
So everyone believed him.
Of course it was not believed that other bureaucrats said this, but everyone really believed this when they said this after a few days. Seeing that the Taoist priest was about to fall sharply,
Many people want to retire from education, but no one dares to stop them in the current climate, because the heads of those leaders who will stop are already hanging on the city wall...
In addition, Gao Fangping organized young army cadres and representatives of various people around Bianjing to hold a meeting.
Gao Fangping stood at a high place with a loudspeaker and said, "Superstition, is it worthy of trust? This question is different. In fact, I, Gao Fangping, is superstitious. For example, everyone says that pigs and dogs are worse than pigs and dogs, and pork is dirty meat and cannot be eaten. Why do I believe it? Because this is what my father said. Why does he believe it? Because it was his father told him. The so-called superstition is that this is mystery. Who said it and where the source is, we don't pay attention to it, so it eventually became a tradition. Everyone believes it, but it is always a mystery. This is called superstition."
Han Shizhong hid in the crowd very vulgarly and shouted, "It makes sense."
So many people shouted without knowing it.
Li Qingzhao, who came to listen to the lecture when she was bored, was really stunned. When she thought about it, it was true. In fact, this is how the so-called superstition and tradition came about. It is all trivial matters in life, but over time, after one by one, it has no source, but everyone believes it.
Li Qingzhao felt very literary and thought that Xiao Gao was a great hooligan. He spoke of a small thing in life. His father said that pork was dirty meat, but it contained great philosophy and exposed the unspoken rules that lasted thousands of years.
So, Li Qingzhao applauded excitedly.
Gao Fangping raised his hand very pretentiously, suppressed his emotions, and then said, "It is a forced force for the bitter people to eat pork. They can't afford Zhang Shangying's mutton. At that time, my Gao family didn't need to care about the price of meat, and they would eat whatever meat is good. So this formed a polarization. Any rich family, because their grandfather said that pork was dirty meat, so they only ate mutton when they could afford it. When the bitter people saw the powerful and the rich people only ate mutton, so the bitter people believed that pork was dirty meat. Otherwise, why did those rich families not eat pork, right? So, this not only solidified for thousands of years, but also a mystery. Believed by people, it is superstitious."
"But in fact, there is no right to speak without investigation and research. Once I was surprised. Why did I believe my father said that pork was not good? So I raised a pig nervously. Strictly speaking, it was raised by Duo Erniang, who has a royal decree. At that time, many Taoist priests told me that it was unlucky and was not conducive to Feng Shui. My father also said that it was not arguing. It makes sense for my ancestors to say that pork was not good."
"I not only raised it, but also ate pork. It's just meat. After eating it, I digest it and pull it out." Gao Fangping smiled and said, "So is it really ruining the Feng Shui of the Gao family? I don't think it must be, at least I have been called pork flat for many years. The theory of pork flat collapse has become popular for many years. More and more people believe in it, but I am becoming more and more fascinated. I haven't fallen down now and become more and more popular, so I'm self-defeating and self-defeating. This is called breaking superstition. Isn't it simple?"
Gao Fangping also said: "I stand here, try to avoid talking big and empty talk, and some of you will not believe me. I don't force this, but you believe me all, that is another mystery. But I ask you, while not believing in me, you should not believe in his sect, nor do you believe in the Feng Shui they sell to you. My pork is a mystery, they are also a mystery. If Feng Shui Narcissus is so useful, and as good as they blow, I wonder, they are full and sold to you? Did he collect money when he sold it to you? Sure. So this is not Feng Shui but a business, I allow it to exist but it must be correct.
Look at it. The truth is, you ask yourself, will you sell your treasure pot to others? The answer is no. If Feng Shui is so magical, Taoists do not need to sell it out, but they will use magical powers to live in the world, right? If those consecrated amulets are useful, they will not sell them to you, but will stay on their own to avoid being knocked to the ground by me now. My pork started out with pork, and my only purpose is to sell pork to you for consumption. I am not a saint, I just want to make money. The only thing that makes my conscience calm is that I didn’t tell you that pork is fairy meat, it is meat, it is real price, and it is not deceived."
Wow
Applause is like a tide...
The whole of Bianjing was in full swing.
Now, on the other hand, the emperor belongs to the small group who does not know the truth. He really doesn't know what is happening now, and what's going on.
This is the sorrow of the foolish monarch and the benefit of the foolish monarch. In history, Cai Jing and others ruined the entire country, and Zhao Ji was not sure of it, so now the pork burned a few fires in the capital, and Zhao Ji still felt it was quite lively.
Zhao Ji doesn't like to go deep into the people in private, so he can only stand up on Xuande Tower and watch the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in his eyes. Why does he feel lively? Because the people during this period are particularly active, and they can do group activities as if they are injected with chicken blood. Every time he sees Zhao Ji standing on Xuande Tower, countless people will waving slogans and shouting "Long live the Great Emperor."
So Zhao Ji smiled with a slight smile.
The reason why the people shouted like this was Gao Fangping's request. In fact, the benchmark for their turnaround action this time was still based on the theory that the imperial power was not trampled on. They were the emperor's people. The emperor was deceived before, but now he understood and began to shout for protection. So the people who ate the melons thanked the emperor.
In other cases, Xu would go to the palace to impeach Zhuo Ping with the reputation of the Ministry of Rites, speak strongly for Taoist priests, use the tone of the Song Dynasty, and use the way the emperors before the Song Dynasty treated Taoist priests to confront Zhuo Ping. Then, Lin Lingsu would also explain the "truth" to Zhao Ji during his lecture.
Unfortunately, Gao Fangping's momentum was too strong and unstoppable. Lin Lingsu was very clever and left Beijing to avoid the limelight, so he couldn't explain the truth. Zhao Ji didn't know what he was doing, thinking that "he had something to do in his hometown."
As for Xu General, he weighed his pros and cons, and he did not dare to fight against pork after a day. So he surrendered and lost half. In the end, he submitted his resignation to the court on the grounds of his old age and poor health, and resigned from his position as Minister of Rites.
Without the Minister of Rites, according to the inherent bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty, Liu Zhengfu temporarily presided over the work of the Ministry of Rites as the Left Minister. Although the team was still the "leaders" ahead, at a time when the momentum was huge, the boss Xu General could not defeat the great devil and resigned. Therefore, under the suppression of Liu Zhengfu, no one of them dared to stand up and talk about the "policy of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty".
Since no relevant departments came out to report, Zhao Ji didn't know what happened.
Only Zhang Kegong, who brought his own lunch box, was still chasing the Taoist priest biting. Yes, Xiao Lao Zhang is not a pork Ping person, but the so-called "take your life while you are sick, I have long been unable to stand Taoist priests who threaten Confucianism, so now the person who is chasing the Taoist priests who are impeached by Gao Fangping, but Zhang Kegong.
Since no one reported it and did not join the Secretary of the Central Committee to discuss it, then this incident is not a political issue. It is just a severe crackdown under the rule of Kaifeng Prefecture and belongs to the judicial scope.
Liu Zhengfu said: "It's not about my Ministry of Rites. Don't send any documents to me. Look for soft persimmons. There are so many yamen and ministries, why do they ask me to take care of them when they have lunch? I don't have enough manpower. Many trade agreements with Liao Kingdom need to be coordinated to deal with them. There are also the Goryeo issue, the Western Xia issue, the Young Army textbook review issues, and the imperial examination issues. They are all in a hurry and don't have enough resources. So don't you think about coming here to take advantage of the troubled waters. Go out and turn right to find the Ministry of Justice. This is their fault."
Liu Zhengfu's remarks were used to send a group of people waiting to complain at the Ministry of Rites. They were some people related to Taoism who made their last efforts, as well as countless newspapers that had been inexplicably closed down and rectified.
In the past, when they came to the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, they would be welcomed, and most of the requests could be implemented. But now the climate has changed, Liu Zhengfu said, "It's not my business, it's the business of those fools next door to the Ministry of Justice."
So how dare these guys with shit in their butts go to the Ministry of Justice?
In theory, of course you can go to the Ministry of Justice to file a lawsuit and ask for troubleshooting. However, once you go to the Ministry of Justice, this is no longer a special issue of etiquette and law. Going to the Ministry of Justice is a criminal law issue. Of course, it is possible to sue Kaifeng Prefecture. But the possibility is slim.
Once the Ministry of Justice cannot sue Lin Rong of Kaifeng Prefecture, it will not be simply "political consultation" with the court. It will become a false accusation of the government, slander, or even subvert the rules.
So the conclusion is that they dare not. Lin Lingsu, who has the cultivation of the Nascent Soul, has run away, and they have no Vajra body.
