Mrs. Jiang’s words were not aimless.

Before this, two major forces were confronting each other, and people were divided vertically. Simply put, the masters of the Taoist sect and ordinary disciples of the Taoist sect are both Taoist camps, and the leader of the Confucian sect and ordinary Confucian scholars are both Confucian camps, regardless of their high or low status, they only have positions.

But after equalizing the land and exempting tax, people are divided horizontally. Those who occupy the land are above and strongly oppose equalizing the land and exempting tax. Those who do not have land are below and strongly support equaling the land and exempting tax.

This is the real point of heart-killing. This is to dig out the foundation of Confucianism. It is not only the economic foundation of Confucianism, but also the ideological foundation of Confucianism. If people in the world distinguish them horizontally, how can the rules be preserved by Confucianism?

Fortunately, there is a difference between high and low in Taoist sect. Many people are afraid of being burned by fire, so they still retain it. Therefore, it is available to the people but not to use it.

Yan Shenggong also understood this truth, and he even felt that he was indecipherable, that is, Li Xuan was happy to see it. Not only targeting Confucianism, but also targeting Taoist sects secretly. However, Yan Shenggong no longer cared about these things now. Whether the foundation of Confucianism will be dug up and whether the Taoist sect will be backfired by the people is not a question they should care about. What they should care about is whether the sage mansion can continue.

The current situation is very clear and clear. Qin Xiang's army is at the city, Taoist masters gather in Penglai Island, and the saint's mansion has reached the critical moment of life and death. If one is careless, it will be a situation where thousands of years of inheritance are cut off from his own hands. Then he will be unable to redeem it. What kind of face does he have to meet his ancestors?

Mrs. Jiang asked, "What does the Confucian side mean?"

Yan Shenggong smiled bitterly and said, "These great priests are all vague, but the meaning is the same. At this time, they can only stick to the imperial capital and cannot rush to the saint's mansion. We can only ask for blessings for ourselves."

Mrs. Jiang closed her eyes.

In the past, she contacted the hermits, but now the seven hermits are too busy to take care of themselves. Three of them have died before and after. It is no longer realistic to rely on them. As for the high priests, they are mainly the Lord and the Sect, and it is reasonable that they are unwilling to come at this time.

Mrs. Jiang felt a deep feeling of fatigue, subconsciously rubbed her brows with her hands, and asked casually: "What do you think now?"

"What my son means..." Yan Shenggong deliberately paused.

Mrs. Jiang raised her head and looked at Yan Shenggong: "But it's okay."

Yan Sheng Gong said: "My son thinks, mother should run away quickly."

"What?" Mrs. Jiang was stunned.

Yan Shenggong repeated again: "Mother, please run away quickly, leave the saint's mansion, go to the imperial capital, and go to the hermits."

Mrs. Jiang never expected that her son would say such a thing, and for a moment she didn't react.

Yan Shenggong was still standing and still very respectful, but this was the first time he had made a request to his mother in many years.

After a while, Mrs. Jiang finally understood the meaning of Yan Shenggong's words. She looked disbelief and pointed at him, trembling slightly: "Do you say it again?"

Yan Shenggong repeated again: "Mother, run away quickly."

"You want to drive me away?" Mrs. Jiang suppressed her anger, "Why are you driving me away?"

Yan Shenggong whispered: "The son is for the good of his mother. The one who was disagreeing with Mrs. Li back then was the mother. Now the one who stood up and made things difficult for Mr. Qingping. If the Taoist sect came over, how could the mother be lucky? So the mother should escape quickly, at least she could save her life."

Mrs. Jiang's tone was slightly relieved, but she refused to retreat: "They dare!"

Yansheng said in a fair voice: "Who told his mother that they didn't dare? If they didn't dare, how did the Ziyanshan people die? And the Qinghe lay Buddhist and Zen Master Hu, they would never die of old age."

Mrs. Jiang's face changed unchanged.

Yan Shenggong continued, "To be serious, our saint's mansion has deep hatred with the Qingweizong. His mother and Mrs. Li have old grudges. Situ Xuance died because of old man Long. Li Qingyun died indirectly because of this. His mother has a close relationship with Old Man Long. Mother should not forget that Situ Xuance's junior brother Zhang Haishi is still alive, and Li Qingyun's sister Li Feiyan is also alive. They are both close elders of Li Xuandu. If they insist on letting their mother pay for their lives and killing their mother to vent their anger, their mother thinks that Li Xuan will not follow their advice?" Mrs. Jiang's face finally changed: "What about you?"

Yan Shenggong said calmly: "Mother can leave. I am Yan Shenggong, the head of the family, so I can't leave. Did my mother forget the dispute between the Northern and Southern sects back then? I always have to stay and give my ancestors an explanation. This is my duty."

The Northern and Southern Sects of Yanshenggong were what happened when the golden tent entered the Central Plains. Some descendants of the saint followed the Dajin court to the south and were enthroned by the Dajin, which was the Southern Sect. Some descendants of the saint remained in the north and were enthroned by the Jin tent, which was the Northern Sect. So the Southern Sect and Northern Sect came into being, which ended with the demise of the Dajin.

The meaning in Yansheng Gong's words is very clear. He does not want to repeat the same mistakes. His ancestors are in front of him, and Mrs. Jiang has nothing to say.

Mrs. Jiang stood up and said, "It seems that this is the only way to go now. Let's avoid it for the time being. When will I leave?"

Yan Shenggong whispered: "My son thought it would be better for mother to leave as soon as possible. If she was blocked by Taoist masters, she would not be able to leave."

Mrs. Jiang looked at her son deeply, as if she had always underestimated her son. Until today, she realized that this son had already had his own ideas and was no longer the child she was sheltered under her wings.

So she said, "Be careful too..."

"If you are tired, my mother cares." Yan Shenggong remained respectful.

Mrs. Jiang is not a person who is dragging on the mud, and she has nothing to clean up. She has her own treasure of Sumeru, so she left the saint's mansion.

Just the second day after Mrs. Jiang left the Saint's Mansion, Li Xuandu led the Taoist people to Dongping Mansion.

The people don’t know who Li Xuan is, but the top gentry with good knowledge knows that they even know that Li Xuandu’s status is still above Qin Xiang and Qin Daofang, and the name of “King of Qi” is not false.

In the eyes of the gentry, Li Xuandu naturally came for the saint's mansion.

Li Xuandu did come for the saint's mansion. After arriving in Dongping Mansion, he asked someone to send a post to the saint's mansion. However, to everyone's surprise, Li Xuandu did not fight for Confucianism and Taoism this time, nor did he ask for an explanation for the matter back then. He came for the new policy.

The so-called new policy is the strategy of equalizing land that Qin Xiang and Qin Daofang have begun to implement. All the gentry and wealthy families will clear the land under their name and pay taxes. If they cannot pay the land under their name, they will offset the land under their name.

Everyone suddenly remembered that the Saint Mansion was the largest landlord in Dongping Mansion, with the most land, and not only did they not pay taxes for two hundred years, but they probably had it for more than a thousand years.

For a moment, everyone was secretly excited, some were waiting to see Li Xuandu jokes, and some were waiting to see the saint's mansion. The gentry whose fields were confiscated began to gloat. No matter who was in trouble, they would feel better. It would be better to have both sides. Some people hope that the saint's mansion could withstand Li Xuandu's pressure, which means that Qizhou would have the day of "recovery", and by then, Qizhou would be their world again.

Under the expectations and attention of many people, Li Xuan symbolically handed the greetings and went straight to the door.

The response of the saint's mansion was beyond the expectations of many people. The middle door was opened, and the Yan Shenggong went out to greet him personally. The courtesy specifications were equivalent to the reception of the prince. He really treated Li Xuan as the King of Qi.

Li Xuandu stood in front of the open main door, looked up at the plaque "Sacre Mansion" hanging on the blue-bottomed and gold-shaped characters above the middle of the door, and then moved his eyes to the couplets hanging on the pillars on both sides of the door, and whispered: "With the country and the country, the country is as rich as the one with the same great moral saints as the one with the same name as the one with the same name."

Yan Shenggong, who was with Li Xuandu, had a cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and he couldn't figure out what Li Xuandu meant.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "The saint's mansion is rich and noble, and the saint's doctrines and virtues cover the world, and the Tao is the ancient and modern times. The rituals, music and laws of the saint's family can coexist with heaven and earth, and the sun and moon are light. Compared with this, the 'The Tao is high and the dragon and tiger are hidden, and the virtue is heavy and the ghosts and gods are respected' in the Great Zhenren Mansion is nothing. How can dragons, tigers, ghosts and gods compare with heaven, earth, sun and moon?"

Yan Shenggong's face turned slightly pale: "Mr. Qingping is so serious."

Li Xuandu laughed it off and walked into the saint's mansion.

The first step into the narrow courtyard is the second gate on the middle road of the Saint's Mansion, commonly known as the Second Gate. The lintel of the door is hung high on the plaque "The Saint's Gate". Usually, you only walk through the armpit door, but the main door is not opened to show solemnity. However, today is an exception. The second gate is wide open to welcome Li Xuandu.

Li Xuan was not polite. When he entered the door of the saint, he was facing a small and exquisite screen door. The lintel was called "Chengguang Gate" because Emperor Shizong personally presented the plaque "Gift Chongguang" by Emperor Shizong. The Chongguang Gate is not open normally. At a grand ceremony, the emperor came to read the edict and held major rituals, and the cannon was opened. However, Yan Shenggong probably figured it out that the two doors in front were opened, and the last one was not missing, so it was also opened.

Li Xuandu passed through three doors with an extremely rare courtesy, came to the main hall, and sat down separately.

Yan Shenggong lowered his eyebrows and looked down: "I have already known Mr. Qingping's purpose."

Li Xuandu picked up a bowl of tea, took a sip, and asked, "So what does Yan Shenggong mean?"

Yansheng Gong said: "The saint's mansion is willing to give out all the land under his name. If it is not enough to make up for the taxes, the saint's mansion is willing to fill it with family wealth, just to be able to retain the Supreme Holy Temple and the Supreme Holy Forest."

Li Xuan was a little surprised, but did not respond immediately, but said: "The family temple and tomb fields are public property, so of course they will be retained, but the fields are just. I still said that as much as you should be. If you don't take a single cent, you will follow the rules to show justice. I don't know what Yansheng Gong wants to do?"

Yan Shenggong lowered his head and said, "Mr. Qingping said very well, but I have not thought about it carefully."

Li Xuan looked at the Yan Shenggong and asked again: "Where is Mrs. Jiang?"

Yan Shenggong hesitated for a moment and whispered: "My mother does not recognize the general trend and still has to resist stubbornly. I don't want to see the ancestor's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family's

"Elusion is the first in all evil, and filial piety is the first in all virtues. This is an unfilial act. Isn't Yan Shenggong afraid of being scolded by the world?" Li Xuandu asked on purpose.

Yan Shenggong whispered: "As long as we can protect our ancestors' foundation, it is insignificant to be a little bit of infamous."

"Okay." Li Xuandu asked, "Yan Shenggong really knows the general, knows advance and retreat, bends and stretches, is a real man."

How could Yan Shenggong not hear the sarcasm in Li Xuandu's words? He was not moved at all, but just lowered his head deeply.

Li Xuan understood that Yan Shenggong's intention was nothing more than betting on both ends. If the Confucian Sect wins, he might lose the position of Yan Shenggong and replace it with other children in the clan to inherit it, but the saint's mansion was saved. If the Dao Sect wins, he not only saved the saint's mansion, but also the sage's mansion. Moreover, as an active surrender, his status is much higher than that of the defeated person, and he may even be supported by the Dao Sect to control the Confucian Sect.

Yan Shenggong knew that Li Xuan knew his intentions, and the two of them knew it, and no one had pointed it out.

This result was beyond Li Xuandu's expectations, but it was reasonable. After all, it was not the first time that Yan Shenggong did this, and there were precedents.

When the gold tent comes, the gold tent comes, and when the Great Wei comes, the Great Wei will worship the Great Wei again.

Now that Liaodong is coming, it is not incredible to worship Liaodong.

However, it cannot be said that the saint's mansion has no backbone. The Southern Sect that went south was the main line of the sect. When the Great Jin Dynasty went south, the direct line of the sage's mansion went south with the wooden statue passed down by the sage, which was the Southern Sect. After the fall of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Jin Tent wanted to return the sage and the Southern Sect to Yan, and was rejected. The King of Jin Horde praised him: "It is against the glory but not against the relatives, and the true sage is the queen of the sect." In the bloodline inheritance of the two sects of the north and south, the Southern Sect has been inherited with a pure bloodline, and it has never changed. It is rumored that the Northern Sect has been replaced by a pillar, and the paternal bloodline has changed twice. It seems that there is also the bloodline of the Jin Tent. I don't know whether it is true or false, and there are many different opinions.

No matter what, Li Xuan decided to accept this surrender. He didn't care whether the bloodline of the Saint's Mansion was true or not. He just needed everyone to know that the Saint's Mansion surrendered to the Taoist Sect.

After Li Xuandu left the Saint's Mansion, Qin Daofang immediately sent someone to measure all the fields under the Saint's Mansion.

The gentry who planned to watch the fun waited for such a result, but they couldn't tell what they felt. There were some surprises, angers, and sadness.

Even the saint's mansion has kneeled, can they still hold on? Is Qizhou really going to change the day?

However, some gentry decided to sacrifice their lives after being completely desperate, either to resist secretly and buy the officers and soldiers who measure the land, intending to get away with it, or to hide their family wealth and secretly transfer their property. Or to openly oppose, summon people, kill the officers in charge, and directly rebel.
