"Zang Feng, since you have dispersed all the copied money, why do you still bother to collect the accounts and calculate clearly the money that is not included in the treasury?" Fang Xuanling asked in confusion.
Xiao Rui frowned and said: "Fang Xiang, I have a vague feeling that what we copied is only a small part, and a large part of the money is unknown."
Fang Xuanling smiled: "What's so unclear about this? There's no need to calculate. A Yuandeng Temple can hand over 90% of the money to Daxingshan Temple. The other temples must have the same rules. You don't even need to calculate, you know that most of them All the money has flowed into the big monasteries supported by high-ranking officials and nobles."
Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "No, what if, I mean what if, we plunder the Daxingshan Temple and don't have much money? If we plunder these small and medium-sized temples, we will get hundreds of thousands of taels, and we can't even get 20% of the total? What about 80%? How much money do you have? I’m afraid it will be piled up like mountains of gold and silver, right?”
"How is this possible? I have also been to Daxingshan Temple. It is magnificent and magnificent. It has been extremely luxurious since the Sui Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is made from mountains of gold and silver. How could it be..."
"Wait, you mean..."
"hiss……"
As a prime minister of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling's vision, strategy and scheming were definitely unparalleled in his era. While chatting and laughing, he realized what Xiao Rui meant. At the same time, I also took a breath. If it is really as guessed, I'm afraid things are not that simple. Buddhism? Buddhism has great plans.
Just as the two were discussing the deduction, Xiao Yue came over in a panic, "Brother, brother, run, run, your father is back, and he is looking for you everywhere, and he will fight you tooth and nail."
"What? Isn't he on vacation at the farm? Who leaked the news?" Xiao Rui exclaimed and stood up.
Xiao Yue explained: "It was Xiao Qi, the cousin of the fourth uncle's family. He is a devout Buddhist believer. He quickly found the farm and told his father."
Xiao Rui was so angry that he crushed two floors with his feet, "The Xiao family? Very good! Devout Buddhist believers? Standing with the Buddhists to deal with me at the critical moment? It's really good. Xiao Yue, go home and stabilize your father for a while. I'll go back soon. Someone, please find out where Xiao Qi is immediately. I'll break his legs!"
"Brother, please be gentle. After all, he is a cousin of the fourth uncle's family and is much older than us." Xiao Yue advised.
"What we are fighting are those guys who are not united at critical moments. You don't have to worry about it. Go and stabilize your father. I'll go back. I, Xiao Rui, am known as the nemesis of the Dandy in Chang'an. How can I deal with other people if my own Xiao family doesn't help me?" ?" With that said, Xiao Rui strode out.
When I walked to the door, I didn't forget to turn around and say: "By the way, Prime Minister, please go into the palace immediately and report to His Majesty. You must find out who is behind the last few big temples? This thing is too scary."
Fang Xuanling nodded heavily, "Don't worry, you will take good care of Song Guogong."
At the Duke of Song's Mansion, Xiao Yue hugged his angry father tightly, "Dad, I really promised to come back right away. Just wait, wait!"
"Go away, let my father wait for this rebellious son? What kind of behavior is this? Did he go to Daxingshan Temple? Really? Erlang, do you even support him to destroy the Buddha? Don't you listen to your father's words the most and believe it since you were a child? Is it from Buddha? Don’t stop me, I’m going to stop him.”
Xiao Yue cried and said: "Dad, my brother is too arbitrary. No matter how you punish him, you have to close the door at home. If you chase him to the street and beat him, how will he walk in Chang'an City in the future? You It is true to believe in Buddhism, but in order to protect Buddhism, I shouted at my eldest brother to kill him, and if outsiders listened, they would laugh at our Xiao family because of the disagreement between father and son. You must not go, my brother will definitely come back."
"You... ugh! Okay, let it go. My father is waiting at home. You go and find him." Xiao Yu listened. In the end, he still wanted to be close to his son.
As soon as Xiao Yue walked to the gate, he bumped into Xiao Rui who came back angrily, "Brother, you're back, I can't hold it anymore. How's it going? My cousin's place..."
Xiao Rui snorted coldly: "I broke his legs in front of the Xiao family."
"What? How could you be... so cruel?"
"Hard? No, I personally picked him up again and let him lie on the hospital bed for a hundred days to reflect and reflect. By the way, we will set out to deal with Daxingshan Temple tomorrow. Remember to pick him up. I want him to see clearly. The face of Buddhism has no brains and was deceived by others, and then came to cause trouble for us, what a waste!" After Xiao Rui said this, he strode towards the living room at home.
Xiao Yue stood stunned on the spot, did I hear it correctly? I broke someone's legs, why don't you let them rest in bed? To deal with Buddhism tomorrow, carry a disabled person to the scene?
It's a good thing that the fourth uncle died early, otherwise, seeing his son being bullied like this, he would probably be angry to death on the spot. Dad must not know about this.
But when Xiao Yue chased him into the living room, he was dumbfounded.
"Dad, brother, you must calm down. You can't sit down and discuss anything. You have to...Brother, what's wrong with dad?" Xiao Yue exclaimed. It turned out that Xiao Yu seemed to have fallen asleep sitting on the chair in the middle. , quite scary.
Xiao Rui waved his hand and said: "It's okay, he just fainted because of my anger. This is the self-protection function of the human brain. This is good. It allows dad to have a good rest to avoid being angry."
puff……
Listen, listen, is this human speech? You made your own father faint with anger, and you still said it was okay so calmly?
Xiao Yue couldn't bear it anymore and roared: "Brother, you can be reasonable. Why are you so cruel to your own family? This is our biological father."
Xiao Rui's expression softened, and he sighed and took the initiative to pick up his old father with both hands and walked to the bedroom, "It's not that I'm cruel. They have believed in Buddhism for too long and have been deeply poisoned. With a few words, they want to unravel their beliefs. It’s almost impossible. Just like my cousin, I will bring my father with me tomorrow. Only by allowing Buddhist believers like them to see the truth with their own eyes can it be possible to unblock the barrier in front of them.”
"Take this bottle of elixirs, the heart-saving elixirs that I have specially refined. If Tomorrow's father is so angry that he faints, give him one to save his life. I already gave him one just now."
"You..." Xiao Yue was speechless. His brother was good at everything, but he was too cruel.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yue said something, "Brother, do you know why my father asked our family to believe in Buddhism?"
Xiao Rui shook his head. He didn't know. Maybe he had heard the story when he was a child, but he had traveled through time and his childhood memories were long gone.
Xiao Yue explained: "My father said that he was able to live as a prince of Xiliang and become a noble of the Sui Dynasty because he received the guidance of a Buddhist monk. Afterwards, he did good deeds every year without being disrespectful at all, and the family was proud and prosperous for a long time. .”
"That's it?"
"It's not just that. My father also said that he almost died when he gave birth to you. He personally went to Daxingshan Temple to pray for peace incense, which saved the lives of mother and you."
Xiao Rui couldn't laugh or cry, "Does this count? At best, it's just a coincidence. My mother and I were not destined to die."
Xiao Yue shook his head and said: "Brother, maybe you are right. Those monks are all liars. But in my father's heart, it is not the case. He firmly believes in cause and effect, and firmly believes that our family has been blessed by Buddhism, so You must worship the Buddha devoutly. If you want to overturn Buddhism now, you are overturning the faith in your father's heart. I can support you, but I beg you, for the sake of the family relationship between father and son, change a gentle way. Once your father is angry with you Come anyway..."
Hearing the kind words and advice from his underage brother, Xiao Rui lowered his head in shame and reached out to pat Xiao Yue on the shoulder: "Good boy, before you know it, you have grown up and become a responsible man. . Okay, I’ve written down what you said, don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
"I have made all arrangements. You go and ask to see my father's old friend, Mr. Fu Yi, Taishi Ling. Send me a letter and explain clearly the situation at home. I have to ask him to come forward to take charge of what will happen tomorrow. "
Xiao Yue nodded. Fu Yi was a well-known anti-Buddhist fighter in the court. He had been fighting against Buddhism for many years, but had been ignored for many years. This time his brother asked him to come forward, and he was considered a professional.
