Chapter 16 Judgment

"Maitreya appears? That is to say, someone wants to rebel?!"

Yuwen Shiwu's voice suddenly became louder, and Wu Ming quickly emphasized: "This matter is not finalized, it is just a guess from me."

Since he got the "remarks" of his biological father Liu Taozhi, he realized that the matter of Maitreya Buddha statue is extraordinary and must not be taken lightly. The next day, he found Sima Yuwen Shiwu of Huangzhou to report on the relevant matters.

Yuwen Wen went out to war, and all matters outside the royal palace were handled by Yuwen Shiwu, who was left behind, so "Yuwen Sima" became Wu Ming's temporary superior.

Looking at the statue of Maitreya Buddha in front of him, Yuwen Shiwu was a little excited. He shouldered heavy responsibilities and was very sensitive to any movement in Xiyang City. In addition, he was damaged by the boss Yuwen Wen, so he felt that "there must be something strange" when looking at everything. Once there is a doubt, he must fully use his imagination.

Now that someone is really going to cause trouble, how can Yuwen Shiwu not be excited?

"The question is, whether the person holding this Buddha statue passed by Xiyang or came to Xiyang to do business, we have no idea. Just guessing, I'm afraid we will be in vain."

Wu Ming said as he took out a piece of paper and spread it in front of Yuwen Shiwu: "This is some of my judgments. It may be helpful for solving the mystery behind the Buddha statue, but whether the judgment is correct or not can only be implemented one by one."

A lot of content was written on the paper, and it can be seen that Wu Ming had spent a lot of effort to make it. He analyzed variously about this Buddha statue that was of some wrong origin.

First of all, there are countless believers in the world who believe in Maitreya, and there are countless statues of Maitreya. Whether it is the statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva or the statue of Maitreya Buddha, they are very common. However, this statue of Maitreya Buddha has a special meaning. In the Qi State, someone in Qingzhou claimed that he was in the present Maitreya, and gathered believers to be in trouble to build a pure land on earth.

In other words, the person who owns this Buddha statue should be the remnants of the group of people back then, and the purpose is probably the same as before, trying to gather believers to cause trouble and establish the so-called Pure Land on Earth, which is actually rebellion.

The next question is whether these people’s purpose in visiting Xiyang is to regard Xiyang as a destination on their journey, or Xiyang as their final destination?

According to the landlord, these people are not as simple as staying in Xiyang for a few days. Otherwise, they should have gone to a residence or inn instead of renting a house, so the other party is most likely to have come to Xiyang to do something.

The belief in Maitreya is very common. Travelers and merchants carry Maitreya statues with them and put them out in their accommodation. The store will not make a fuss. The suspects specially chose to rent a house, probably to gather other believers and do some shameful activities.

Of course, it is also possible that it is Xiyang and others. These people are likely to come to Xiyang from nearby prefectures and counties. After the people who should come, they will take the next action.

What is the next step? This is very important. Maybe it is to rush to another place after being together, or to gather to discuss things, then go their separate ways, or to make trouble in Xiyang directly.

Wu Ming believed that the chance of this occurrence was very small, because the King of Xiyang had been keeping a close eye on Huangzhou, and the city of Xiyang was full of eyes and ears. After long-term monitoring, there were no existing secret associations among the civilians infiltrated the military camps and government offices.

Therefore, these suspects may be contacting some people in Xiyang, probably for the likes of the believers. In the short term, there should be no possibility of rebellion.

However, one thing that cannot be ignored is that since the other party may come to Huangzhou to show off its believers, it will inevitably contact the legal private private associations in Huangzhou and surrounding areas - the Buddhist society.

The Buddhist community is also called "中", "中文", and Wu Ming unified the "中文" and the composition of the civil society is mostly a private community where lay believers gathered in order to create Buddha statues and pagodas.

There are many Buddhist believers in the world. Many lay believers want to make Buddha statues, but they are short of money and can only make a small Buddha statue to worship at home. However, this seems to be insincere enough, so everyone gathers together to build large Buddha statues.

If you have money and work hard, everyone will work together to create Buddha statues. When the Buddha statue is completed, the meaning of the city will be disbanded.

However, building a large Buddha statue is a huge project. It took several months, years or even more than ten years according to the size of the Buddha statue. Therefore, the temporary national meaning of the purpose of creating the statue will be developed in the future, and will be developed in a fixed national meaning for the period of time.

In addition to building Buddha statues, such a city meaning will also carry out activities such as building temples, pagodas, camping, and chanting scriptures. Therefore, many city meanings eventually became cohesive folk Buddhist groups.

Some ambitious people who take the "Maitreya's appearance" as a pretext, will try to organize a civil service. At the beginning, they are legal private communities recognized by the government, and then they will disobey their believers. When they think the time is ripe, they will rebel.

Therefore, Wu Ming judged that if those suspects really wanted to show believers in Huangzhou, they would inevitably contact the local civil affairs, or take the lead in organizing civil affairs, and gather believers in the name of creating Buddha statues.

"Municipality... It's okay, all the civility affairs under the Huangzhou General Administration have been registered with the government. If they have formed associations without permission, they are considered as rebellion." Yuwen Shiwu was confident that he, the Sima of Huangzhou, was not in vain.

Although it is only a Sima of the State, it is very familiar with the general situation of the states under the General Administration. After all, the General Administration of Huangzhou is Yuwen Wen's territory. As Yuwen Wen's hawk, Yuwen Shiwu could not be unfamiliar with his own territory.

"Sima, the national morality is at least dozens or hundreds of people, and most of them are composed of one clan or a village. Such national morality is difficult for outsiders to influence in the short term, but if the other party is interested, he can choose to win over the national master, which will result twice the result with half the effort..."

"So I think below, don't disturb the town owners, but let your eyes look at them in a dark way."

They are all their own people, so Wu Ming and Yuwen Shiwu don’t have much taboos when talking. Wang Yuwen of Xiyang has always been very close to the private associations under his rule. Although normal private associations are allowed to exist, they are loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Yuwen Wen actually did not believe in Buddhism or Taoism. Although he did not destroy Buddhism and Taoism, he was always wary of excessive development of Buddhism and Taoism, which would affect the government's rent and income. He also had to be wary of demon monks. The demon Taoist rebelled in the name of religion. Therefore, while allowing the city meaning to appear, he also bought it from various city meanings and placed a spy.

What each official is doing, what the official is doing, what the official is doing, and which officials have joined the official, the eyeliner will report to the online line regularly, and after the summary of the "Consecration Office", written text is formed. If there is any abnormality, it must be reported to Yuwen Wen.

Thanks to the long-formed eyeliner, it would be very convenient if Yuwen Shiwu wanted to take measures, but he believed that just focusing on the city is not enough, and Buddhist temples should also be a place to focus on.

"Not to mention elsewhere, I will let my eyes look at all Buddhist temples in Huangzhou, so as not to let those thieves be clever and pull ignorant believers into the water. As for the state soldiers and officials, I will let my eyes look at them."

"Sima, you have to beware of the other party taking risks. If you make any auspicious things in the city, it will be like a soaked shit on your feet, which is so disgusting."

After hearing Wu Ming say this, Yuwen Shiwu sneered: "Xiangrui? Whoever dares to cause trouble in Xiyang City, I will make him auspicious!"
