My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 400
Immediately there was news in the middle of the court that the emperor Zhao Ji was going to tour the two Zhejiang provinces in the south, and that the crown prince Zhao Gou would supervise the country.

Many common people cursed behind their backs that the emperor Lao Tzu was about to run away.

The third day after Wang Lin and Kong Lin got married was the day of Guining.

If it is according to the wishes of the Confucian family, Gui Ning will return to the Confucian family's home in Qufu, Shandong.

But how could Wang Lin have the time to travel all the way to Qufu, so the one who returned to Ning was Kong Rui's mansion.

For the face of the Kong family, Wang Lin used the entire honor guard of King Yan for the first time.

Flags, chariots, guards, guards of honor.

A mighty group of more than a hundred people circled the imperial city and then went to Kongrui Mansion in the inner city.This commotion was actually not small, because behind the guard of honor in Prince Yan's Mansion, dozens of fanatics followed, just like die-hard fans of later generations of stars.

All members of the Kong family in Beijing came out and opened the main door to welcome the King of Yan and Mrs. Fu to Ning.

After listening to Wang Lin's suggestion, Yan Sheng Gong Kong Jie, his son Kong Rui and nephew Kong Qi looked at each other, speechless for a while.

Confucian mansions and Confucian temples implement a charging system, or collect incense money for offering sacrifices to Confucius?

The general idea is that every year, a large number of scholars from all over the country go to Qufu to visit the Confucian Mansion and the Confucius Temple, which is called a pilgrimage.

However, the Confucian family managed the Confucian Mansion and the Confucian Temple, inherited the incense, and charged a certain fee for the pilgrims who came to visit the pilgrimage.

Specific standards are discussed separately.

Kong Jie hesitated for a long time, then said lightly: "My lord, this...isn't right? If my Kong family sacrifices incense to saints, if it is used for profit, I am afraid it will cause criticism from all over the world."

Kong Rui and Kong Qi also echoed.

Wang Lin smiled: "My sect inherits the saint's incense, and daily sacrifices and offerings cost a lot of money. If there is no charge, you will never be able to make ends meet just by relying on the salary and court support of Mr. Yan Sheng.

Unless, the Kong family encloses a large amount of land like a local tyrant and expropriates them violently.But if this is the case, is it likely to have a negative impact on Shengren Qingyu? "

"The name can be set up to offer incense to saints and maintain and repair the facilities of Confucian temples. For example, like Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, selling incense, candles and safety symbols..."

The three of Kong Jie were a little moved, but they still felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, it is the supreme merit for a sage to educate all peoples. What kind of pure virtue is this, how can it be defiled by money?
Wang Lin said again: "There are so many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the world, and it's normal to accept offerings from believers. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism stand side by side. With the virtues of saints, they are no less than Buddha and Taoist ancestors. It is justified to collect some incense money."

"The Buddha still said that the scriptures should not be passed on lightly, otherwise the disciples of the younger generations will starve. The same is true for the inheritance of saints. Scholars in the world should not only be bathed in the blessings of saints, but also contribute to the inheritance of saints. Yan Shenggong, you Confucius family Don't have a mental block about it."

"The Buddha set up teachings to support hundreds of millions of monks in the future, but the sage's brilliance is glorious in the past and present, but he can't support the sages and Miao people? This is not normal."

"Furthermore, the imperial court can come forward, the local government can publicize it, and use the power of the government to help the Kong family push it away. You are nothing more than telling the people of the world that the incense money collected is earmarked for special purposes, and will never be used as the private wealth of the Kong family. .”

As soon as Wang Lin said this, Kong Jie was really moved.

If the government came forward to help the Kong family, the matter would have a 100% success rate.Moreover, the imperial court announced it first, so there will be no flaws in the righteousness.

There are more than ten thousand scholars from all over the country who go to Qufu every year. If each person receives a sum of incense money, the accumulation of small amounts will become more, but it is not a small amount.

With the implementation of this matter, the economic difficulties of the Confucian clan were easily solved.

The three of Kong Jie were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.

Wang Lin smiled without saying a word.

In fact, the Confucian temples of later generations collected fees and consumed Confucius, and the income was owned by the state. His proposal was to attribute the relevant income to the Confucian family.

Once this hole is opened, presumably driven by profit, the Kong family will not let this piece of Tang monk meat go.

But if the Kong family amassed wealth without restraint, the reputation of the saint would be wiped out by his unworthy descendants.

That's the matter of the Kong family.

He just offered an idea.

On the other hand, from ancient times to the present, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples have flourished with incense, and there is an endless stream of people who pray to God and worship Buddha. Most of the monks in the temple are fat and big-eared, earning a lot of money.

In view of the great contribution of Confucius to Chinese culture, it seems to him that there is nothing wrong with imitating Taoism and charging some incense fees.

Even a complete industrial chain can be developed.

However, it depends on whether the Kong family has enough brains.

……

Kong Lin wanted to stay at her mother's house for one night, but Wang Lin was busy with military affairs and couldn't live with her. In the afternoon of that day, after having a meal with Kong's family, she hurried back to the palace.

At this time, Li Gang, Wu Min, Zong Ze, and Guo Zhishun had been waiting for him for a long time.

The faces of Li Gang and the others were not good-looking.

Why?

Naturally, it was because of Emperor Zhao Ji's southern tour.

It's not a big problem for the prince to supervise the country, because the current court has been operating normally according to the established track under the control of the four people, and it will not be messed up because of Zhao Ji's departure.

But they have deeper and more anxious concerns.

Wang Lin walked into the main hall slowly, and the four of them got up to see the ceremony, but they were all sitting here without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the hall was dull.

Wang Lin smiled: "Ministers, you can be open and honest with me, and speak out. I think that at least in terms of the great cause of the family and the country, I and the ministers of the country have the same goals."

Ensure the economic, cultural and social stability of the Song Dynasty, and mobilize the power of the whole country to fight against Jin.

Defend the country.

Defend China's clothes.

This is the common goal of Wang Lin and Li Gang.

This is also the key factor for the four ministers in the court to stand firmly behind Wang Lin.

Of course, among the four, Guo Zhishun had already tied the interests and future of the Guo family firmly to Wang Lin, and all were prosperous and all were harmed.

Li Gang was silent for a moment, then sighed suddenly: "King Yan, have you ever thought that if the government is allowed to take some courtiers to the south and southeast, the court will be divided in the future? Fu, how can we get chestnuts out of the fire again?"

Guo Zhishun also interjected: "That's right, my lord, we must not let the official family tour the south. This will definitely lead to the split of the Song Dynasty, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Zong Ze's eyes were piercing: "King Yan, based on the old man's judgment on the officials, he will probably set up a separate court in the southeast, enclose the wealth and wealth in the southeast, and form another country."

"As for us, we are just abandoned sons of the official family, staying in the north, and serving as pawns for the official family to fight against gold!"

Wang Lin remained silent.

Since he did not openly oppose Zhao Ji's southern tour, how could he not have thought of such a hidden danger.

Hidden dangers are still on the table.Although Zhao Ji didn't have the courage to set up another imperial court, he couldn't stand being pushed behind his back, and Zhao Ji had always been a master without his own opinions.

Now that this layer of window paper has been pierced, the four of Li Gang have heated discussions.They almost made it clear that Zhao Ji, the official family, would be placed under house arrest in Tokyo, as if he were the overlord who didn't care about world affairs.

Seeing that Wang Lin remained silent, Zong Ze couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why didn't your lord say anything?"

Wang Lin took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile, "Gu is not ignorant of what everyone is thinking. It's just that after all, the officials insist on going to the south of the Yangtze River, so what can Gu do?"

He didn't say some things clearly, but Li Gang and others knew that he was considering the feelings of Zhao Fujin and other women's relatives, after all, he was also Zhao Ji's son-in-law.

Zong Ze dissatisfied: "How can the prince ignore the overall situation? If the Song Dynasty is split and the Jin people take advantage of it, how can we face thousands of people?"

Li Gang, Wu Min, and Guo Zhishun stared closely at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin frowned: "I don't know how the court reacted to the official's intention to tour the south?"

"Most opposed. Only Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others catered to them, and even many clans were secretly echoing and promoting. The old man estimated that if the official family really made the southern tour, [-]% of the Tokyo clan would go, and Wu Xun and civil servants could go [-]% one."

"This is enough for the officials to set up another small court in Hangzhou." Li Gang said slowly: "I have to wait."

"In this way, all the ministers and ministers may wish to write a letter to ask the officials to change their course and withdraw their orders. As for this king... I will also play a letter later."

Hearing Wang Lin's words, Li Gang and the others nodded secretly.

As long as Wang Lin agrees to stop them, Zhao Ji can't escape even if he wants to.

The four left in a hurry, and went back in time to connect with their own courtiers, and wanted to launch a wave of impeachment to prevent Zhao Ji from fleeing south.

Wang Lin sent the four of them to the entrance of the hall.

He looked at the backs of the four of them going away, with a complex look on his face.

As far as he is concerned, he does not want Zhao Ji to give the throne directly to Zhao Gou.

Because in this way, Zhao Gou will feel that the throne is too easy to come, it is easy to go up, but it is difficult to come down.

So he guided Zhao Ji to have the heart of the southern tour.

Of course, people like Tang Ke in the middle of the court have been clamoring for the emperor's southern tour.In addition to being afraid of war, I am afraid that there is also an ulterior motive for setting up a separate court.

Wang was not like this back then.

Wang Lin knew that Zhao Jinan's tour would arouse strong opposition from Li Gang and others.It can even be said that most of the subjects of Song Dynasty would oppose Zhao Ji's escape.

Therefore, in the end, Zhao Ji couldn't leave.

But after this, it became an established fact that Zhao Gou supervised the country as a prince instead of a new king.

With the turbulent court discussions and the raging public opinion, Zhao Ji could only stay in the harem honestly and be his de facto emperor.

This is in the interests of all parties at the moment.

But in this case, Li Gang can say it, Wu Min can say it, Zong Ze and Guo Zhishun have no scruples, only Wang Lin can't say it publicly-he opposes the emperor's southern tour, and he also opposes Zhao Gou's direct ascension to the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. Then he became the prince of the supervisory country.

Some things can only be done but not said.

Therefore, some tactics of playing hard to get, and retreating after desire were used.

The villains who prevented the emperor's Southern Tour and Zhao Gou from proclaiming himself emperor had no choice but to let people like Li Gang be the ones.

……

Zhao Fujin, Chongde, Zhao Yupan, Zhao Gou and others came out of the study. They were all listening to the conversation between Wang Lin and Li Gang just now in the back hall.

In fact, they were even more unwilling to have Zhao Ji flee south.

Even if Zhao Ji fled south, they would not follow.

So far, not to mention Zhao Fujin, the interests and future safety of Zhao Yupan, the princes and queens, have been firmly tied to the chariot of the Yan Palace.

Of course, the main factor is that they feel that even if Zhao Ji changes course in the south, he won't be able to make a difference.

Just relying on those weak soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, can they stop Wang Lin's subduing tiger cavalry?Sooner or later it will end in death.

And if so, can Zhao Ji still save his life?
This is what they don't want to see.

Zhao Yupan said lightly: "King Yan, the royal father's tour to the south is full of debate, and the ministers oppose it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve what he wants."

"Hmph, Father knows how to run... where might he go? If the north is not protected, the Jin people drive straight in, and the south can be protected? It's ridiculous." Zhao Gou said somewhat resentfully.

He was very resentful, why couldn't his father give him the Zen seat directly?

Then you will be the emperor, and you can run anywhere you want.
