Liaozhai Great Sage
Page 813
Li Xiuyuan said to the golden Buddha.
This golden Buddha does have the compassion of the Buddha, but it gives him a weird feeling, making people feel that something is attached to it.
His voice fell.
Immediately, the Golden Buddha emitted a dazzling golden light, which formed a circle, like a seal of Buddha.
From the golden light, a dignified, honorable, compassionate, and kind old man, dressed in Dharma clothes, looked like a monk or a Taoist, came out slowly.
"Is it the incense avatar again?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.
Ever since he dealt with this national teacher until now, he dared not show his real body, and always showed himself as an incense avatar.
Can't get away?I still have fear when facing myself, and I dare not show it at ease.
"Li Shengren went north to Beijing to serve the country and the people. His kindness was inspired and covered half of the capital. I saw all kinds of visions very clearly in the imperial city. I don't know what made Li Sheng unhappy today. Call me out to talk about things? It’s not that I’m avoiding you, it’s just that the imperial city is not at peace. I have to sit in the imperial city, and I only have to wait a few days for Li Shengren to enter the court to report on his duties. You and I are ministers of the same dynasty. To be the horns of each other, to govern the capital and the world well, this is your pursuit, Li Shengren, and it is also my pursuit."
The national teacher had a smile on his face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his tone was respectful.
"See Old Ancestor."
Du Ze walked in at this moment, and when he saw the national teacher, he was shocked and knelt down to salute.
"You and I do have the possibility of cooperating, but I didn't promise you to cooperate. Before that, wouldn't the national teacher want to talk about what happened to Du Ze, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment?" Li Xiuyuan pointed at Du Ze.
The national teacher said with a smile: "Du Ze used to be a corrupt official and evil minister. He formed a party for private interests and disregarded the laws of the country. Some villains and sinners who should have been beheaded escaped beheading because someone bribed him. Some prisoners who shouldn't have died, but instead of death row, their heads were beheaded unjustly."
"In the past, there was a yamen in the capital who bullied men and women. Relying on his father's power, he robbed and insulted the wife of a foreign businessman. After the incident, he murdered the businessman and killed the businessman. There were more than ten servants in total. The crime of beheading, but on the day of the execution, because Du Ze took bribes, he brought in prisoners of similar size and appearance to the execution ground."
"Do you know that the prisoner who died for the dead was only locked up for a few days for fighting and fighting. Because the family has no power and power, he became a ghost for the dead."
Li Xiuyuan frowned: "The court's law is out of balance. This is the result of unfavorable government regulation. What do you want to say?"
"The government is also powerless. The courtiers form cliques and private parties. They are colluding and have the intention of controlling the government. In addition, the national power is declining and the court's majesty is gradually losing. How can we punish a minister of the Ministry of punishment? If you want to punish, you have to go to the court. Okay, but who in the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty would use such opinions to offend the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?" the national teacher said with a smile on his face.
Li Xiuyuan said: "So you came up with a way to use the soul-shifting technique to let the centipede under your hand occupy Du Ze's body, turning him from a corrupt minister into a just and strict Your good servant?"
"Exactly, this is what I thought of a strategy for governing the country."
The national teacher said: "Don't worry, Li Shengren, the ghosts I choose are all those who have read poetry and books, know etiquette, justice, integrity, loyalty, filial piety, and filial piety. They are officials. , make sure nothing goes wrong."
"It's just your truth?" Li Xiuyuan frowned deeply.
"It's absolutely true, do I still need to tell you some lies to deceive you in front of you, Li Shengren? At our level, what we pursue is nothing more than the ideal in our hearts. The ideal of a saint is prosperity and stability in the world, peace for the people, and peace and contentment. , My philosophy is also the same, I also hope that the people will be prosperous and the world will be peaceful, otherwise I would have become a fairy and be happy with my abilities, so why should I stay in the world and get involved in this world of mortals."
The national teacher said with emotion, it is indeed a gesture of compassion.
"However, I have only a small manpower. If I can get help from you, Li Shengren, to kill some evil spirits blocking our way, then it is not impossible for us to complete this idea in our lifetime, and before that Of course, you will be the saint, and of course I will be the evil demon, the king inside and the saint outside? Why worry about the world not being stable? And I live a thousand years, ten thousand years, as long as I don't die, I can protect the world forever, and I can Wouldn't it be better to avoid the pain of dynasty replacement?"
After finishing speaking, the national teacher looked at Li Xiuyuan sincerely.
Li Xiuyuan was silent.
The reason for his silence was not that he could not find a reason to refute, but that he saw the feasibility of this plan.
From the perspective of the national teacher, his approach is not wrong. Instead of letting corrupt officials control the government, it is better to let the spirits under his hands govern.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's silence, the national teacher yelled at Du Ze: "This is a saint from the south, with a very noble status. He still kneels down and kowtows to apologize."
Du Ze didn't dare to disobey his ancestor's words, so he immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Li Xiuyuan, and said, "The little demon has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so I ask the sage to forgive me."
"If Li Shengren thinks it's wrong for Du Ze to be the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, even if you kill him, I will not protect him." The national teacher still said frankly.
Li Xiuyuan stood with his hands behind his back at this moment, and saw Du Ze who was kneeling beside him and kowtowed to him.
He knew that the real Du Ze was dead, and what he saw was just a ghost in the guise of Du Ze's body.
Chapter 649 Seeking Common Ground while Reserving Differences
"But your subordinates killed people, using spells to kill people, this is intolerable."
After a long time, Li Xiuyuan said suddenly, thunder and lightning popped out of his palm again.
The national teacher immediately smiled and said: "Spells are not good or bad, it depends on whether the person who uses them is good or bad. If one can kill a wicked person and destroy all people, then this person can be killed. Does the sage think so? Evil cannot become a great good. Is there anything wrong with tolerating some small crimes in exchange for greater good and beauty?"
"There is nothing perfect in this world. The saint killed ghosts and gods in the south, went to the heavenly palace, and entered the underworld several times. Isn't it just doing evil and promoting good? My approach is no different."
The national teacher's ability is not only powerful in Taoism, but also his thoughts and ideas are also very powerful, which can convince people's hearts and make people think that his approach is correct.
It's right to cast spells to kill people, it's right to resurrect the dead, and it's right to control Chao Gang.
As long as it is for the stability and prosperity of this world, all of this can be tolerated.
Li Xiuyuan knew that this conversation between him and the national teacher was not just a conversation in a simple sense, but a discussion of the Tao.
It's the same as discussing the Tao with Dongyue Shenjun in the Tiangong last time.
It's just less hostility and more kindness.
"If this is your philosophy, the national teacher, then I cannot agree with it." Li Xiuyuan waited for him to finish speaking, and then said suddenly.
"I would like to hear the great opinion of the sage." The national teacher smiled slightly, and gave a salute because he wanted to hear the sage's way.
Li Xiuyuan walked to the window, looked at the dark sky outside and said, "Your idea seems to be familiar. I talked with Dongyue Shenjun when I was in Tiangong. He upholds the way of gods to rule people, demons, and ghosts. Immortals are the same for thousands of years, unchanged from ancient times, using the divine way to control thousands of creatures, the world is in turmoil, prosperity, peace, and stability, all within the divine way."
"I think he is pretending to use the name of Shinto to maintain his superior status, but the facts have proved that it is the same. His Shinto lacks justice. If the Shinto is supreme, then tens of millions of souls will be enslaved. This is the future I see. So he was cut down from the Heavenly Palace by me."
"As for your philosophy, the national teacher, if I come to judge, you, the national teacher, practice the way of a demon, and control the court with the ability and deeds of a demon, but as the power of your demon way continues to expand, sooner or later the court will no longer It is the imperial court, but the court of demons, officials are no longer human beings, they are all demons, and they are taking the road of using demons to control people, which is not much different from the philosophy of Shinto."
"A monster is a monster after all. It has no humanity and cannot understand people's feelings. The result of this kind of governance is still slavery, because the people are unarmed and do not know magic. They can't beat you monsters. Once the demon court is established, the people will never turn over. He was even deprived of the qualification to raise his arms to change the dynasty."
"So I don't agree with your philosophy. Although I agree with what you are doing now, there will always be divergences on the same road. At that time, I felt that there was only one way for me and you to go on."
Li Xiuyuan turned his head and stared at the national teacher with burning eyes.
"Since Li Shengren, you think my way is the way of monsters, so it is the way of monsters. It is just Li Shengren's idea of co-governance by man and god, can it be implemented? Your way is humane, and the way of humanity can overcome the way of monsters. , Shendao, if your way is successful, the human way will surely prosper in the future, where in the world is there a place for the demon way and the way of the gods?"
"The gods of Dongyue know this, and so do some ghosts, so they are preventing you from becoming enlightened. The only ones who can agree with you are those ghosts and gods who were born out of humans. There are infinite obstacles to this way, and it is difficult to achieve this way in your lifetime."
The national teacher shook his head and sighed: "Your lifespan is limited, it must not exceed a hundred, and enlightenment is so elusive."
"You are wrong. My Taoism is humane, but it also gives ghosts and spirits a living space, because I never thought of letting people govern ghosts and spirits, but ghosts and gods govern ghosts and spirits, and spirits govern spirits. My Tao has a kind of The meaning of tolerance is in it, but Dongyue Shenjun's divine way, and Guo Shi's demon way are less tolerant."
"However, I don't think you are wrong, because one of you is a god and the other is a demon. It is normal to practice the way of the gods, and the way of the demon. But also, I am a human being, and there is nothing wrong with walking the way of the human." Li Xiuyuan said.
"So today, in your opinion, Li Shengren, should this Du Ze be killed?" The national teacher pondered for a while, and suddenly pointed at Du Ze.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, but he understood the meaning of the words of the national teacher.
