489. A chaotic relationship
Chaoge City.
Before we knew it, Ye Xiao and his party had been here for several days.
After this period of visit, they also gained a deeper understanding of the current situation of the Shang Dynasty.
Because Buddhism helped Cheng Tang defeat the Xia Dynasty, after the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, Buddhism also became the state religion of the Shang Dynasty. In this case, Buddhism was originally a dominant trend among the human race.
Not only that, after understanding the Buddhist teachings to a certain extent, the rulers of the Shang Dynasty also found that the Buddhist teachings were very beneficial to maintaining their rule. Therefore, in order to maintain their own rule, many rulers of the Shang Dynasty also helped Buddhism preach in the human race. Over time, Buddhism has been deeply rooted in the human race.
The rule of some tribes around the Shang Dynasty may be better, and the influence of Buddhism may not be that deep, but within the rule of the Shang Dynasty, almost every household has believed in Buddhism.
In this way, Ye Xiao was actually a little hesitant about finding someone who was in trouble.
Although he knew who the so-called person who responded to the disaster was, and also knew that Jiang Ziya was most likely to be around Chaoge City now, in this environment, even if they could find Jiang Ziya, who could guarantee that they would not find Jiang Ziya who was dedicated to Buddha?
Ye Xiao never doubted the brainwashing ability of Buddhism. This can be seen from the fact that countless people in later generations were deceived by Buddhism, but they still enjoyed giving money to the Buddhist temple.
Jiang Ziya, who has already gone to Kunlun Mountain, and his identity as a person who is in danger, you may believe that he can resist the brainwashing of Buddhism, Ye Xiao, may still believe it, but Jiang Ziya was an ordinary person before he went to Kunlun Mountain!
Even if he is a person who is in charge of the disaster, can he really avoid being brainwashed by Buddhism when he has nothing?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao also had a headache.
Personally, he felt that instead of believing in Jiang Ziya, he would rather put hope on Shen Gongbao.
Because in Ye Xiao's opinion, when facing a brainwashed missionary like Buddhism, with Jiang Ziya's personality, Shen Gongbao, who likes to study all kinds of strange things, has a high resistance.
Of course, no matter how much I think about it, I still have to find someone.
What if Jiang Ziya happens to be a Buddhist brainwashing missionary that misses the net?
Nothing is possible until the truth comes to light.
He can't give up looking for a killer weapon like a person who responds to the disaster just because of his personal speculation.
The most important thing is that although he felt that under the missionary of Buddhism, Shen Gongbao might be more likely to be brainwashed than Jiang Ziya, he didn't know where Shen Gongbao was!
He only knew that Shen Gongbao was the Kunlun Mountain that Jiang Ziya worshipped at about the same time. In addition, he didn't know anything about Shen Gongbao's people and where he lived when he was young.
Therefore, instead of looking for Shen Gongbao, it is better to stare at Jiang Ziya in front of him, at least he knows that Jiang Ziya is probably in Chaoge.
However, it is inevitable that although they are still looking for Jiang Ziya, Ye Xiao is no longer as concerned as he did at the beginning.
Now he has focused more on people who appeared in the Battle of the Gods and have caused considerable impact.
For example, the old prime minister Shang Rong, the old teacher Wen Zhong, and the old general Huang Gun.
Although he is now in power in Emperor Yi, these old ministers of the Shang Dynasty have long been in high positions.
The old prime minister Shang Rong was a veteran of three dynasties during the Emperor Xin period, and when he was a veteran of two dynasties during the Emperor Yi period, he had assisted Emperor Yi's father.
Although Shang Rong during this period was not as old as Emperor Xin's period, he had already held a high position and served as prime minister of the Shang Dynasty. He was deeply grateful...
That thing, Di Yi didn't seem to like him very much, but Shang Rong was very close to the Buddhists and was deeply supported by Buddhism. Therefore, even if Di Yi didn't like him, he could only continue to let Shang Rong be the prime minister.
As for the old master Wen Zhong, he is not old yet and has not become the Grand Master, but he is the real Emperor Yi's direct lineage and is highly valued by Emperor Yi.
Of course, because of the butterfly effect in all aspects, Wen Zhong did not worship the Holy Mother of Jinling as in history. Wen Zhong in this life was a Buddhist disciple.
However, although Wen Zhong is a disciple of the Buddhist school, he is deeply influenced by the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. He can be said to be absolutely loyal to Di Yi, but he has no connection with Buddhism, so he is not very popular among Buddhism.
Therefore, Shang Rong and Wen Zhong are simply two extremes. One is a minister promoted by the Shang Dynasty, but after he was in a high position, he began to have a relationship with Buddhism. The other is clearly a Buddhist disciple, but he maintains absolute loyalty to the Shang Dynasty - this wave, this wave is mutual NTR.
There is also the veteran general Huang Gun. Although this veteran general is not as high as Shang Rong and Wen Zhong, he is also a long-time general in the army and has a prestige among the Shang Dynasty's army.
The most important thing is that he is also absolutely loyal to the Shang Dynasty, so he is highly valued by Emperor Yi.
The old general's son Huang Feihu is also a well-known young hero, and has great expectations.
In addition to these people, Ya Geng, who is very well-known in later generations, is not doing well now.
He and Di Yi are brothers.
But the brothers from the Imperial Family understand everything.
Now that Di Yi is in power, Bi Gan is the loser.
Although Di Yi did not kill him, he did not give him any better expression.
Now Bigan is an unemployed vagrant who is under disguised house arrest in Chaoge City. Although he is not short of food and clothing, he does not have any rights.
However, Bigan and Shang Rong were quite close, and they often had some contacts.
All of this fell into Ye Xiao's eyes, which made him call him a good guy.
It turns out that it is so interesting inside the Shang Dynasty, as well as between the Shang Dynasty and Buddhism.
Just think about it, although Buddhism is the state religion of the Shang Dynasty and theoretically has common interests with the Shang Dynasty, no one will care whether you are your own person or not.
Besides, the struggle between religion and royal power can be said to be a very normal thing from the perspective of later generations.
You can understand this by looking at the West.
In the original land of China, because Buddhism entered late and Xuanmen was relatively inaction, there was not much conflict between the two. However, this time, Buddhism entered the human race so early. After a long time, with the existence of Buddhism, it is inevitable that a conflict between religion and royal power can be said to be inevitable.
However, in this way, Ye Xiao felt that this time the God-Fengcai, their chances of winning seemed to be greater.
