Zhao Hanqing stared at Zhao Bairen blankly, and after a while he realized that his father's eyes were not staring at him, but looking directly at the shrines and tablets of his ancestors in front of him.
Zhao Hanqing felt even more guilty and self-blame. He kowtowed and said, "My child is incompetent and I am ashamed of my ancestors!"
After saying that, he was about to kowtow again, but Zhao Bairen took half a step forward, put his hand on his shoulder, and stopped him.
Zhao Bairen laughed and said, "Third brother, you did a good job!"
Zhao Hanqing was stunned and looked at Zhao Bairen with his mouth agape. He didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhao Bairen said: "Lao San, come here..."
Zhao Bairen slowly sat down at the seat where Zhao Hanqing had copied the "Book of Filial Piety". He flipped through a few pages of the "Book of Filial Piety" copied by Zhao Bairen, and saw that the fonts on it were strong and strong, and almost every word and line were neat and neat, like a knife. It's as good as chopping with an axe.
Zhao Bairen couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't know whether it was admiration or sigh. He said: "Lao San, do you know the two Shenjing Rebellions during the periods of Emperor Gaowu and Emperor Taizong?"
Zhao Hanqing was stunned again, then he stood aside with his hands down respectfully and said, "I know."
Zhao Bairen knocked on the small table and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Zhao Hanqing carefully knelt down and sat aside, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. His sitting posture was impeccable.
Zhao Bairen said: "Do you know what Emperor Gao Wu and Emperor Taizong want to do in their dreams?"
Zhao Hanqing's heart trembled, and he whispered in a very light voice: "My son... I know."
Zhao Bairen looked up at the tablets of his ancestors and whispered: "The danger of Da Qi is not outside but within; the trouble of the world is not in the brothers and feet, but in the heart and soul!"
Zhao Bairen picked up the brush and wrote a strong and powerful character on the paper: Go!
Zhao Hanqing only glanced at it and then stared at Zhao Bairen with wide eyes in astonishment, somewhat speechless.
He knew that the word Zhao Bairen naturally meant: Qiankun Divine Sect!
Zhao Bairen sighed: "When Emperor Xuanzong passed the throne, he struggled to get up from his bed, and then, like today, he took my hand and led me to look at the spiritual tablets of our ancestors. His words were sincere and sincere. You told me this."
Zhao Hanqing was shocked. It was as if he had met the father in front of him for the first time, and truly understood the emperor for the first time!
This sentence is naturally: the danger of Daqi is not outside but inside; the trouble of the world is not in the brothers and feet, but in the heart!
What is this inside? What is this henchman
Naturally it is the Qiankun Divine Sect!
The struggle between the imperial power and the religious power spanned the five hundred years of Da Qi's history. Emperors of all dynasties wanted to charge and attack the religious power. They wanted to defeat the religious power and subdue these terrible practitioners into prisons.
However, the iron law set by the Nine Heavens puts the imperial power at a natural disadvantage in such a battle: if you are an official without practicing, you will not be an official if you practice!
Members of the royal family must not participate in spiritual practice!
Violators will be punished by heaven!
This is a chain that firmly locks the expansion and expansion of the royal family.
Zhao Bairen said in a low voice: "Nine Heavens set these iron laws in the first place, naturally to check and balance the development of our human world, so that our royal family and the monks would fight within themselves. However, how can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed!"
Zhao Bairen snorted coldly, eyes gradually gathering anger and hatred: "Emperor Gaowu wanted to take back part of the religious power, and wanted people from the divine religion to take the lead in paying taxes and serving the country. As a result... Emperor Gaowu died suddenly the next year! Cause of death It is still an unsolved case! After Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, he inherited Emperor Gaowu’s last wish and also learned from Emperor Gaowu’s experience and lessons.”
"However, he still underestimated the desires and ambitions of the divine sect! Emperor Gao Wu just asked the reform minister Wu Yucun to take part of the paddy fields under the sect's jurisdiction, which immediately led to countless impeachments. In the end, he could only lose his official position and go home. Take care of yourself, but the next year, he also died suddenly!"
Zhao Bairen stared at Zhao Hanqing with a heavy gaze and said, "Do you think this was done by the divine religion?"
Zhao Hanqing lowered his head and said: "Everything depends on the heart but not on the traces..."
It doesn't really matter whether it is really done by the divine religion, because the irreconcilable contradiction is there, and the royal family unswervingly believes that it is done by the divine religion, then it must be done by the divine religion, and it can only It could be done by the divine religion!
Zhao Bairen nodded, with a look of admiration on his face, and said: "When you were young, I didn't think highly of you. You are upright and have the demeanor of a gentleman. If you are a minister, you will definitely be a famous minister. But if you are an emperor, If you are the king of a country, you must be the king of its destruction! Do you know why?"
Zhao Hanqing's heart trembled, and he whispered honestly: "Although a gentleman can bully a minister, he must abide by his heart and stick to the way of being a minister, clean himself, and be pure. The only people around him will lose." There are only four or five people, and they can still be famous in history; but if the monarch does not know how to adapt and compromise, then he will be strong but easy to break, and he can be bullied, and the people in the world will lose."
Zhao Bairen kept nodding and said: "My son has really made progress! He has traveled all over the world these years, and it has not been in vain!"
Zhao Hanqing had already understood most of it at this time, and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "It's all because of Father's good teachings!"
Zhao Bairen smiled and said: "I have chosen a good master for you, and he has lived up to my expectations!" After that, he looked at the tablet again and said: "Emperor Xuanzong entrusted this great position to me, and he will also The last wishes of our ancestors are entrusted to me! I... I have worked hard and tried, but... I... I am still afraid in the end!"
Zhao Bairen did not elaborate on the details, but Zhao Hanqing could probably guess some of the hidden sword shadows and undercurrents.
Zhao Bairen looked at Zhao Hanqing and said: "Lao San, your character is unyielding and unyielding. You are stronger than me and have more hope than me!"
Zhao Hanqing fell to the ground in fear and said: "My son, I am scared!"
Zhao Bairen patted Zhao Hanqing on the shoulder, signaled him to stand up, and said: "My son, do you know that although the current murder case in Qiuyue Valley is a tragedy that has not happened in the 500 years of our divine capital, it is also a tragedy that has not happened in the Qiankun Divine Sect in 500 years. massacre?"
After saying this, Zhao Bairen stared at Zhao Hanqing, his turbid eyes full of fascinating light!
Zhao Hanqing was stunned for a moment, and then his body began to tremble uncontrollably!
He realized what Zhao Bairen meant!
Right now is the period when the Qiankun Divine Religion is at its weakest and in decline. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! !
Zhao Hanqing immediately kowtowed without hesitation and said: "My son must be the pioneer of my father and emperor, carry out the last wishes of our ancestors, eradicate the cancer of the divine religion, restore our great Qi world, and revitalize our country!"
Zhao Bairen was in high spirits. He helped Zhao Hanqing up with a smile, gently smoothed the wrinkles of his court uniform on his chest, and said, "Right now, you still need a chance!"
Zhao Hanqing thought for a while and asked tentatively: "The battle situation in the southeast?"
Zhao Bairen nodded and said: "Although the Qiuyue Valley massacre severely damaged our Divine State congregation, the war has now reached a critical moment, and the arrow has to be fired! I will ask the Divine Religion to send troops, together with the monks from various factions, to fully support the southeastern war. As long as the southeastern war is certain , I will pass it on to you immediately. At that time, third brother, you can show off your power and avenge the shame of the late Emperor of Qi!"
Zhao Hanqing said in panic: "Why is my father doing this? What virtues and abilities do my sons and ministers have? How..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Bairen stared at Zhao Hanqing sternly, and said in a low and stern voice: "This is a heavy responsibility entrusted to you by our ancestors, do you want to shirk it?"
Zhao Hanqing stopped talking. He took a step back, knelt down heavily, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times!
Zhao Bairen stood there and accepted the gift without hesitation. After Zhao Hanqing stood up, he held Zhao Hanqing's hand again and said seriously and emotionally: "Third brother, when the time comes, it's all up to you!"
