The moment Kou Ji heard what He Xiangu said, he understood the purpose of the Ku monk in handing the'great gift' to him.
There is no doubt that what is in the bag should be the so-called Dharma relic and the longevity mantra in He Xiangu's mouth.
Kou Ji frowned subconsciously.
Seeing this, He Xiangu guessed that Kou Ji already knew the intention of the Buddhist school.
"This scheme is poisonous. It can't make people live forever, but it can make people earn three hundred years of life..."
"It's really poisonous..."
Longevity is impossible for everyone.
So once the Law of Longevity appears, most wise men will treat it as a joke.
Except for a few people who are obsessed with the pursuit of longevity, they will stare at the law of longevity. Most other wise people don't care about the law of longevity.
But the longevity method is different.
Longevity is desirable.
The ancients attached great importance to the way of keeping in good health, and some people obtained a longer life span than ordinary people by relying on the way of keeping in good health.
Therefore, the longevity method is easier to win people's trust than the longevity method.
Three hundred years of life, of course, is a bit exaggerated.
But compared to Peng Zu's eight hundred years of life, it is still much inferior.
With Peng Zu, an eight-hundred-hundred-year-old sage, the longevity method that can obtain three hundred years of life is no longer a vain thing.
The longevity method of three hundred years of life is enough to drive everyone crazy.
The craziest person is probably Zhao Zhen who is sitting on the throne.
Because the emperor is eager to live longer than anyone else.
Even if they knew that longevity was a scam, they would not hesitate to plunge into it, invigorating the people and hurting the people and wealth.
They still do for things that are invisible and intangible.
For what they can see and touch, they dare to do and can do more.
Kou Ji could completely hand over the things the Ku monk gave him as they were, and get out of this trouble.
Since Monk Ku dared to give this thing to him, that means Monk Ku was not afraid of him handing it over.
Why not be afraid
Kou Ji held up the cloth bag in his hand and said quietly: "There may be nothing in it..."
The bitter monk can preach to the whole world that he dedicated the law of longevity to Kou Ji.
But Kou Ji couldn't clarify to everyone in the world, he didn't get anything.
Even if he clarified, the people would not believe it.
The people are more willing to believe that Kou Ji hid the Law of Longevity and was unwilling to hand it over.
This is human nature and human heart.
The Buddhist school cleverly took advantage of this.
Kou Ji put away the cloth bag and looked at Aunt He and said, "No wonder you say it's the same if you open it or not."
He Xiangu smiled calmly: "If you can't open it, there is no difference for you, because the moment you get something, you are caught in a trap."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, and smiled: "Do they think it's taking me?"
He Xiangu smiled, but did not speak.
Because she felt that the trap of the Buddhism was directed at people's hearts, and it was difficult for Kou Ji to crack it.
Kou Ji said to He Xiangu: "Aren't you saying you want to ferry me? Are you not going to help me?"
He Xiangu smiled and said: "Pan Dao can save your life when you are about to be beheaded, but it can't help you through the disaster."
Kou Ji said with emotion: "You are not a good person either."
The smile on He Xiangu's face remained unchanged, and she would not resent her life because of her tongue-in-cheek argument.
After Kou Ji sighed, he continued: "Buddha has passed on for thousands of years. There must be a lot of good things in their hands. They can easily hand over the longevity method for three hundred years. Then five hundred, six hundred, and seven hundred years of longevity. The law of longevity must be in the Buddhist school.
In your Taoist school, Peng Zu passed down the longevity method of eight hundred years of life. It is impossible for the Buddhist school to lose your Taoist side on this, right? "
He Xiangu's face changed when she heard this.
Kou Ji ignored him. He turned around and ordered the entourage behind him, "Go and bring a brazier."
The entourage returned to the mansion and moved a brazier to the entrance of Kou's mansion.
Kou Ji threw the cloth bag in his hand in front of the pedestrians on the road.
The cloth bag blazed ablaze in the brazier.
Kou Ji stared at the flames and said, "Since there is a longevity law of 800, don't fool me with the law of longevity of 300."
Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at He Xiangu, squinted and said: "I can't come up with the longevity method of 800, but it will kill people, many people will die."
He Xiangu's face changed completely upon hearing this, "This matter has nothing to do with my Taoism."
Kou Ji said calmly: "Buddhists are monks, and Taoists are also monks. So no matter whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, it makes no difference in my eyes. You know that they count me, but don't remind me, you are also responsible. .
Your responsibility is even on Taoism. "
He Xiangu gritted her teeth and said: "You are deceiving too much..."
Kou Ji snorted coldly: "You are the one who troubled me first. If you don't trouble me, I will take care of you? Since you dare to deal with me, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"The court dealt with us first."
"You also said that the court dealt with you first. Since it was the court who made trouble with you first, then you should go to the court to settle the accounts, and keep staring at me. Do you think I'm a bully?"
"..."
He Xiangu said angrily: "My Taoists don't have a longevity of 800."
"That's your business."
Kou Ji hummed: "If you can't come up with the longevity of 800, then wait for the official to take care of you. If you take a fake, the official will not live to be 800 years old, then you will wait. Let the successive officials look to you for liquidation.
The official family can be regarded as a generation of British masters. You have deceived him and tainted his wiseness. Do you think his children and grandchildren will let you go after they become king? "
He Xiangu stared, "You want to calculate my Taoism, it's a idiotic dream. You still want to think about how to overcome this difficulty in front of you."
Kou Ji said coldly: "Then we will wait and see."
"Humph!"
He Xiangu snorted, turned and left the entrance of Kou Mansion, leaving Kou Ji with a beautiful back.
After Kou Ji left, the cold color on his face disappeared.
He stepped through the gate of the mansion.
In the study.
Send someone to recruit Lu Ming.
After Lu Ming arrived, Kou Ji stared at Lu Ming and said: "Then the folks should have a lot of rumors, I got the Buddha's longevity law of 300 years. You tell the people below to follow along, saying that the Buddha still has six hundred and eighth longevity. Hundreds of longevity methods, and 16 treasures that have been accumulated for thousands of years.
The money hidden in every treasure trove is far more than tens of millions. "
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "Master, is it too exaggerated?"
Kou Ji squinted his eyes and said, "I will think of a way to implement it."
Lu Ming frowned.
Kou Ji said solemnly: "I will leave this to others to take care of. You don't need to ask more."
Lu Ming nodded slowly, did not ask much, and left the study to follow Kou Ji's instructions.
After Kou Ji left, he went out of the study to Kou Zhong's convalescent yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Kou Zhong lying in the yard basking in the sun, completely confused.
"Uncle Zhong..."
Kou Ji called out softly.
Kou Zhong opened his eyes in a daze. After seeing Kou Ji, he said in confusion: "Master..."
Kou Ji nodded to Kou Zhong, and then ordered the servants and servants who were waiting in the courtyard to leave first.
After they left, Kou Ji said to Kou Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, I need you to send someone to the sea, tell Cao Utilization, let him take people, bring money, and go back to Da Song."
Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "Cao took advantage of his return to the Song Dynasty. If someone finds his whereabouts, it will be a big trouble for you, Master."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "I can't take care of that much until now. You send someone to tell Zhu Neng to bring millions of dollars into the Song Dynasty. Find a larger temple in the south, according to For yourself.
Then dig earth and build a room inside to create an underground secret room with a lot of money to bury.
During this period, he could use the soil excavated to build the underground secret room as gold and silver treasure and transport it out of the temple.
After he has built the secret room, he can make a false impression of digging up the treasure.
The local yamen are bound to capture them.
When they flee with millions of tangible goods, they can continue to leave them behind.
This is the general plan.
Cao Liu is a smart person, knowing what I want, he will fill in all the details. "
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Kou Zhong stared at Kou Ji in a daze, "Did the Buddhists offend you?"
The Buddha used the longevity method to frame Kou Ji, which is indeed poisonous.
But Kou Ji's method is more poisonous.
Kou Ji only needs to send someone out for a walk. The rumor claims that the Buddhist family has huge gold in more than one place, and then he is sending someone to create the illusion that the Buddhist family really has huge gold.
In the future, the Buddhist school will not want to stop.
Temples everywhere will become a playground for bandits, bandits, bandits, deserters, and local tycoons.
The government may also intervene.
As long as the places where the Buddhists are hidden in the rumor have not been dug up, the Buddhists should not be clean.
Rumors may spread for decades or even hundreds of years.
Buddhism will also be scourge for decades, or hundreds of years.
Facing Kou Zhong’s question, Kou Ji said frankly: “They sent someone to give me the longevity law of three hundred lives.”
Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment, and fell into silence. After a long time, he slowly said, "Then they really should clean up."
Kou Ji nodded.
After Kou Ji confessed the matter to Kou Zhong, he chatted with Kou Zhong for a while, and then left the yard.
A few days later.
Sure enough, the folks spread the longevity law that Kou Ji got three hundred lives.
In order to thank Zhao Zhen for cleaning up the villains in the temples in the world, the Buddhists used Kou Ji's hand to offer Zhao Zhen the longevity method of three hundred lives.
The Buddhist school obviously wanted to put Kou Ji to death.
Buddhism dedicated three hundred longevity to Kou Ji, and dedicated it to Zhao Zhen through Kou Ji's hands, completely two concepts.
The incident spread to the central government and was confirmed.
Zhao Zhen called Kou Ji into the palace.
Inside Shishi Hall.
Zhao Zhen topped the list.
Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai were also there.
After Kou Ji entered the Shishitang, the eyes of the four people all fell on Kou Ji.
There was no expression on Zhao Zhen's face, and the three of Lu Yijian frowned, with a deep worry on their faces.
Kou Ji entered the hall, after the salute.
Zhao Zhen spoke slowly, "I heard that the fourth brother has obtained a longevity method that can increase life by 300."
Kou Ji said calmly: "What is the law of longevity? The minister does not know it."
Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and continued: "I heard that someone saw a monk with his own eyes and offered the law of longevity that can increase life by 300 to the fourth brother."
Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "Then he must have not seen me or watched, so he threw the thing into the brazier and burned it."
When Zhao Zhen heard the words, his face was expressionless.
The three of Lu Yijian breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yijian said solemnly: "There is no way of longevity in the world, it's just those monks who fool the people and deceive the world."
Wang Zeng nodded in agreement: "To live long, there is no other way, just like the way of a doctor to maintain one's health, which has the effect of longevity. The longevity of monks is too exaggerated, too fake, and unreliable.
The minister had seen it before when he was patrolling the place.
After the death of a monk, in order to fulfill the lie of longevity, he boasted of rejuvenation under the guise of a boy. "
After Wang Zeng’s voice fell to the ground, Zhang Zhibai followed and said: “Everyone knows that Peng Zu’s life is eight hundred. But the world doesn’t know that Peng Zu’s eight hundred is based on the method of counting his sixtieth birthday.
Its actual life span is more than one hundred and thirty years.
According to the method of counting the years of the small sixties, the three of the ministers and others also have a life span of several hundred years. "
The three of Lu Yijian attacked the so-called longevity almost one-sidedly.
The reason why they are so is because of Zhao Heng.
In order to pursue the illusory immortal way and the pursuit of longevity, Zhao Heng tossed the Song Dynasty out of shape.
The establishment of Taoist officials, Taoist palaces, and Xingtian scripts are extremely absurd.
The Song Dynasty did not subdue the country under Zhao Heng's tossing, all because of the civil servants and generals desperately guarding the Song Dynasty.
If the civil servants and military commanders do not defend the Song Dynasty desperately, with Zhao Heng's tossing method, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will be defeated during the Battle of Tanyuan.
Had it not been for Kou Zhun desperately forcing Zhao Heng to go to the battlefield, it would have encouraged the morale of the soldiers on the battlefield.
Liao people are likely to go all the way.
Once the Liao people invaded the south and occupied a part of the territory of the Song Dynasty, it would not be a little bit of money to quell the war.
It may have to cut the soil.
The Empress Dowager Xiao Yanyan of the Liao Kingdom Chengtian and the Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Kingdom were not Yelu Deguang, the Taizong of the Liao Dynasty.
Their mother and son wouldn't be like Yelu Deguang, Taizong of the Liao Dynasty. After occupying a part of the territory of the Central Plains, they would leave easily after a lot of raids.
The two of them have been in the territory of Liao State for Sinicization for many years, in order to occupy the Central Plains and take the Central Plains as their own.
It is precisely because they know that the emperor is pursuing the evil of eternal life, Lu Yijian three talents are unwilling to see Zhao Zhen, the wise lord who has finally appeared in the Song Dynasty, and embarks on the path of pursuing longevity, which has destroyed the great situation of Song Dynasty.
After they learned that Kou Ji had obtained the Longevity Law, deep worries grew in their hearts.
For this reason, the three people sat down to discuss together how to persuade Zhao Zhen to give up the pursuit of longevity.
Now that they heard that Kou Ji had burned that thing, they were also relieved.
While admiring Kou Ji's knowledge in general, he also opened his mouth to help Kou Ji speak.
After hearing the advice of the three of Lu Yijian, Zhao Zhen said with a weird expression: "In the eyes of the three Aiqings, I am so unbearable?"
The three of Lu Yijian were taken aback.
Zhao Zhen spoke eloquently: "Since I learned that there are no gods in the world, I have learned that there is no magic for longevity in the world. The life span of a person is fixed by heaven, and no one can change it, and I will not be an exception.
Instead of wasting time pursuing things that don't exist at all.
It is better to use limited time to do many things that are beneficial to me. "
The three of Lu Yijian were completely stunned.
Awareness so high? !
After Zhao Zhen’s voice landed, Kou Ji hesitated for a while and said: "The reason why I burned the longevity method of three hundred lives is because the Buddha still has five hundred, six hundred, and seven hundred longevity methods. Taoism There is also the method of longevity passed down by Peng Zu."
Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai stared at Kou Ji in amazement.
Wang Zeng was the first to react and yelled angrily: "Kou Ji, do you know what you are talking about? Those illusory things can be used to confuse the officials. Do you want to be a traitor?"
Kou Ji gave a dry cough and laughed: "The prince needn't be angry. Didn't Zhang Gong just say? Peng Zushou 800 is the method of counting the years with a small sixtieth birthday, so Peng Zushou's eight hundred longevity method should be a small sixtieth birthday. The method of counting the years.
The other methods of longevity are probably the same. "
When Wang Zeng heard Kou Ji's words, his face looked a little better, "Don't pant when you speak."
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "We already know the roots of the so-called longevity law of monks, and naturally we will not be deceived by them. Since we will not be deceived by them, then we can let them dedicate all the law of longevity. Come."
The three of Lu Yijian frowned.
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji thoughtfully. He had a hunch that there must be some horrible idea in Kou Ji's stomach, and the monk would be unlucky.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen and the four were silent, Kou Ji continued: "Their longevity law is dedicated to officials. Once it is verified that there is a problem, it is to deceive the emperor. If the emperor is angry about this, it will not be so easy to calm down. of.
Among the monks who assassinated me before, one monk told me.
We can hardly imagine the wealth that my family has accumulated for thousands of years.
The money we found was only a drop in the bucket. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen and the four have already understood Kou Ji's thoughts.
Kou Ji wanted to use his strength to blackmail the monk again.
just…
"Do monks really accumulate so much money? You know, during our investigation of the temples in the world, the money and land properties we found out exceeded the unacceptable figures for ordinary people."
Lu Yijian had some disbelief.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether they have so much money. The important thing is that once they criminals deceive the king, then we want it, they have to give it. If they don't give it, they will pay the debt.
When yamen in various places were building bridges and repairing roads, they could be counted among them when they were enlisted in levies.
They either pay or contribute.
It has to be the same.
After all, the king's anger is not so easy to calm down. "
When Lu Yijian heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched and said, "They just calculated you together, so you will force them to death?"
Kou Ji put away the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Are they calculating me? They want my life. If the official suspects me because of this, then sooner or later I have to move my head.
Since they want to kill me, don't blame me for hacking. "
"Ahem..."
Seeing Kou Ji's words so straightforward, Zhao Zhen coughed slightly, and said, "I can't suspect the fourth brother, let alone hurt the fourth brother's life."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen looked at the three of Lu Yijian, and solemnly said: "In my heart, Jiangshan Sheji is far more important than long growth and longevity. If my great Song can overwhelm the world, Fuyan thousands of years, even if my short life, I have no regrets or regrets."
The three of Lv Yijian got up and exclaimed to Zhao Zhen with excitement: "Official sages, ministers, etc., can become official ministers, it is indeed the luck of the three lives."
The monarchs praised it.
Zhao Zhen sent Lu Yijian to leave Shishitang.
As soon as they went to Shishitang, the expressions of the three of Lu Yijian changed.
One by one staring at Kou Ji seemed to be looking at his enemies.
Lu Yijian stared at Kou Ji and shouted, "Since you have burned down the art of longevity, why do you propose to let the monks devote other art of longevity to the officials
Do you know what kind of disaster we will usher in the Song Dynasty once the officials become obsessed with longevity? "
Kou Ji shrugged and said, "I also think about the lives of the four of us. The officials are still young and energetic, so the technique of longevity is not that attractive to him.
He can shut it out unceremoniously.
But what happens when the officials get old
You three should be aware of the history of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was young, he was not as wise, but when he was old, he became fascinated by the art of longevity. How many things did he do that endangered the Dahan Society
Do you think Han Wudi is not smart
Don’t you know that the art of longevity is a phantom thing
I think he must know that the art of longevity is a vain thing.
But as far as he is concerned, as long as there is a little bit of hope that he can live a few more years, he is not willing to miss it.
The so-called law of longevity may not allow him to live forever, but if it can increase his life, he will not lose money.
As wise as the Emperor of Qin and Han Wu, he still cannot escape the fate of pursuing longevity after he is old.
Do you think the officials can escape when they get old
In case officials are old, they must also pursue longevity.
If we block the law of longevity from entering the palace today, we will greatly offend him.
When the time comes, he will act on us and will never be soft. "
Lu Yijian said with disdain: "After the officials are getting old, the tombs of the old man and others have probably been repaired countless times."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "So... Is the head of your kylin son Lu Gong made of iron? When the official family gets old and can't cut you off, you may be ordered to plan your graves, just like Li Shimin planed Wei Zheng. The same as the grave.
Then cut one of your children and grandchildren clean and let them go down to reunite with you. "
When the three Lu Yijian heard this, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng did not speak.
Zhang Zhibai said with a black face: "Officials can kill the old man's children and grandchildren, but you should not dig the old man's grave, which will cause stigma. If you were alive at that time, you should advise one or two."
Kou Ji, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng stared at Zhang Zhibai in astonishment.
Almost yelled'you are ruthless'.
Zhang Zhibai said with a serious face: "If you are a minister, you shouldn't be wronged by officials."
