Chapter 11 Don’t ask the common people, ask ghosts and gods(2/2)

But, there is no way.

It was just like he always advised his wife not to burn incense, but he could not persuade her.

Facing the Empress Dowager and Empress, as a minister, he had no other choice except to obey.

Fortunately, at least, there was a head start today.

Three provinces and two governments and Hanlin Bachelors, dynasty in the same dynasty!

In the Song Dynasty, the most difficult thing is always to set a precedent.

Today, he took advantage of the fire in Kaibao Temple, which caused the three provinces and two prefectures and the Hanlin Bachelors to fall into panic. He set this precedent. In the future, if there is any more, this example can be cited.

"I am equally obeying the order!" After the ministers bowed and bowed, Cai Que took the opportunity to take the opportunity to leave the list and replied: "I dared to ask the Empress Dowager, Your Highness: Do you need to report to the official family for the fire in Kaibao Temple?"

Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang heard this and looked at each other: Didn’t this report be reported to the official family?

They immediately woke up.

That's right!

If you report this to the government, you don’t need to come to them.

So, Empress Dowager Gao asked, "Dear ministers, what are the consequences of the fire in Kaibao Temple?"

Cai Que bowed and said, "Qi Zuo the Empress Dowager, Your Highness: Last night, the four drums were flowing from the tribute courtyard of Kaibao Temple. Although the inspection was carried out by Kaifeng Prefecture, the left army patrol envoy in the front office of the Hall led his troops to fight the fire. By dawn, the fire had been put out!"

"However, the fire and fire were ruthless, and the Gongyuan fire broke out, not only burning the provincial examination papers of Gongyuan, but also burning dozens of officials to death..."

"Among them, Chengyi Lang Zhai Man, Fengyi Lang Chen Fangzhi, Xuandelang Ma Ximeng, all have been confirmed to be buried in the fire..."

"This matter is very important, and I dare not be good at it..."

"Now, the official family is in trouble, and the imperial physician and the officials instructed the ministers and others: It is better to engage in more happy events, not worry, and to calm the holy body..."

"I am stupid and frightened. I beg for the Empress Dowager and the Queen's Highness to command!"

After saying that, Cai Que bowed respectfully and bowed again.

The ministers bowed their heads and bowed: "I am waiting for the Empress Dowager Fugu, and the Queen's Highness commanded!"

At this moment, among the three provinces and two prefectures, not no one noticed something strange.

However, under the slightest conscience of herd emotions, they had to pinch their noses and dance to Cai Que's rhythm.

Empress Dowager Gao and Empress Xiang did not notice this strange detail.

Only, Zhang Maoze, who served by Empress Gao and Queen Xiang, frowned inadvertently and noticed something strange.

But Zhang Maoze didn't dare to interrupt, and he didn't even dare to speak out!

When the minister is in charge of the matter, where can the inner minister speak?

If he dares to speak, he will have to roll the bed and go out tomorrow - the crows will be very happy to use a body known to the inner eunuchs to prove their loyalty and integrity to the world!

Empress Dowager Gao could not protect him, let alone protect him.

Because, this is the ancestral system!

...

Note: The big temples in the Song Dynasty all have quality databases. They were originally an organization that helped each other among believers, and then developed into financial entities similar to today's pawn shops, banks and venture capital...

There were many monks in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there were more monks who were not serious.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on the monk.

Because the Northern Song Dynasty court was more colorful than monks.

In the Song Dynasty, the monk's certificates basically acted as checks and credit certificates today. Generally, when the court had no money, it would send a bunch of certificates to people for money. It was easy to sell a certificate of certificates for 100-200 cents per certificate.

So, don’t blame the fake monk ran all over the street.

Note 2: The symbol of the high monks in the Song Dynasty was the purple robe and monk robes given to the court.

Note 3: Japanese monks were called monks, and were an Indian monks. During the Qingli period, they came to the Northern Song Dynasty to preach the Dharma. In Xining and Yuanfeng, Japanese monks came to Bianjing to seek Dharma and met Japanese monks. Jin Zongji seemed to be from Afghanistan. He first worked as a national teacher in Xixia for several years. Then he heard that the Song Dynasty had been recruiting a monk who could translate Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures and decisively ran away to the Song realm (he said it himself).

This person lived until the Southern Song Dynasty in history and was famous in many notes of scholars and officials in the Southern Song Dynasty.
