After hearing these words, Zhang Xuan did not refute, but shook his head and said softly: "There may be something good about Buddhism, but the monks have thoughts. Now there are many wars in the northern part. This time, I have seen many miserable situations and many barren lands. However, one thing is that there are many miserable places, and there are many people from Taoist sects coming and going, and the camp where the troops are in power is often brought and gone by monks."

"Oh?" Chen Zhi's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.

Zhang Xuan's words actually meant to influence Chen Zhi's judgment, but they no longer start from simple Buddhist habits, but secretly touched the most important aspects of the real power bureaucrats like Chen Zhi who live in a corner.

The place where the common people are scattered is actually about refugees, and many of them are Taoists. This is what is used to make a self-deprecating, because in the past history, whenever there were people scattered, there were mostly five dou of rice believers, preaching and pulling people, and gradually forming a scale. This is how the Yellow Turban Rebellion happened.

It can be seen that Taoists are in and out of no good.

However, it is different in the refugee army.

"The Taoist priest said something interesting," Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "These Five Dogs of Rice believers have delusions. In the past, Zhang Jiao and the other three men gathered the hearts of the people with the Taiping Road, and became a rebel and destroyed several states. The lesson of the previous car is still there, but the Taoist priest mentioned that the Taoist walked out and entered a place where the people were in trouble. Wouldn't it remind Chen to bring troops to suppress them to remove this hidden danger?"

"Why should the lord of the palace ask me clearly?" Zhang Xuan shook his head and said in a sincere tone: "The Taoist scattered and the good and bad are mixed, just like the people in the world, with good and bad. This is made by the way of heaven, and people have no ability to reverse it. If the Taoist sect is a little evil, if you go wrong, you will be despised by later generations. It is understandable that today's situation is decayed, and the refugees follow the thieves, or are the forerunners of foreign races, have long lost their purity. In addition, the Jie people have been scattered, and they can even see the chaos, and even the power of unifying the prefectures and counties. If you walk by the original intention of your Taoist sect, you will undoubtedly be able to divide and disintegrate their power, which is a good thing for the court!"

Chen Zhi tapped the table lightly and asked, "Isn't this good news for Shi Le, the Jie man?"

Zhang Xuan said bluntly: "Shi Le, the bandit, such a person should have been killed. Now he only occupies a corner of Jizhou, so how can he become a climate? If the refugees disperse, he will make this person stronger and make it difficult for the court to wipe out it. It only means that the court is wrong."

Li Shi next to him was stunned when he heard this, then he was worried and thoughtful.

Chen Zhi laughed: "This Taoist priest is so bold. He said such things in front of me, but in this way, does it seem that there are hidden dangers in the Taoist sect? Are you not even letting go of your own family in order to belittle the Buddhist sect?"

"Although some people who have gone astray in our Taoist sect may cause man-made disasters, they are still in the clear place," Zhang Xuan did not deny it. Instead, he changed the subject and guided the topic towards monks and monks. "Monks often choose one or two powerful people to develop them into Buddhists, and then use this to promote the righteous and open force, which has distorted my Chinese Taoist tradition! Moreover, even those who are knowledgeable in the court can see that they are unable to reverse it. Because there are often backgrounds behind the implementation. If you want to eliminate them, you can only prevent the problems and kill all kinds of hidden dangers on the signs!"

Chen Zhi thought about it for a moment, recalling what he had seen and some Buddhist practices in history, he couldn't help but nod and said, "What do you mean is that these monks who came with the aristocratic families actually wanted Chen to believe in Buddhism, so he came here?"

"It must have this purpose, and..." Zhang Xuan said, the topic suddenly jumped, "Don't you also want to ask about the situation in Jizhou?"

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, you are following the road to Jizhou. I heard that the situation has changed over there. I don't know what the situation is. With the Taoist priest's knowledge, he should have an opinion."

"Then I will be ugly," Zhang Xuan was not polite. "The current situation in Jizhou looks chaotic, but it is actually clear that with Shi Le invading and besieging Zhao State, sweeping across the three counties, the prestige has been established, and many militiamen have been incorporated, and they have gained a foothold in the west of Jizhou. The King of Jiangdu in the east was originally sent by the court to wipe out the rebellion of Jizhou, but because of all kinds of willingness, he kept his feet on the verge of waiting for the thieves to grow bigger. Now, under the court's order, he wants to send troops. This is the relationship between the Prince of Zhao seeking the court. However, judging by the situation of the county ruled by the King of Jiangdu, it is difficult to break Shi Le unless there is external help."

"The Taoist priest has a lot of thoughts and points out the situation with one sentence. But since Prince Zhao goes to ask for help, he will always get help from the court. In addition to the soldiers of King Jiangdu, I am afraid that the surrounding military towns, including my county, will receive orders, let alone soldiers and horses come out directly from Luoyang..."

"The prefect misunderstood my meaning," Zhang Xuan smiled faintly. "What I want to say is not actually the army fighting for strength, but the discovery of the movements of the monk monks. There were monks entering and leaving the place where the King of Jiangdu was stationed, and on the way of Shi Le, there were monks preaching the Dharma. For safety, I even took a detour to the place. I heard that for the prefect of Jiyin, the ancestors of the ancestors, you could even see monks entering and leaving the mansion of aristocratic families!"

Chen Zhi's eyes suddenly became cold, and he said, "What do you mean is that these monks, regardless of government, vassal king, or bandit, will visit them if they have some authority and occupy the territory?"

Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "At that time, this behavior was already so easy to do, and he had no intention of speaking. He was to preach the Dharma and did not distinguish between good and bad. Therefore, when the monks came to the place of the Mansion, there must be monks going to the king's envoy. Perhaps even the Xianbei people outside the border would not let go!"

As he said that, he suddenly paused and said, "Perhaps, people like Xianbei and Jie people are more favored by them. After all, these people are well-readers of scriptures, but most of them do not follow the Chinese Taoist tradition, and it is easier to obtain the monk's method!"

Chen Zhi frowned because he knew very well that Zhang Xuan’s words were not alarmist. In the original history, Buddhism and the Central Plains dynasty established by foreign races complemented each other, and their impact on the Central Plains region was far-reaching.

However, he was also very clear that Zhang Xuan's words also had content that he took advantage of the topic, so he nodded and said, "The Taoist priest said it well, but you have not many people all the way north and you have to worry about your own safety. I am afraid that there are not many people to send out to inquire about the situation. What you say is inevitable is speculation. Fortunately, you can see many monks today. It is better to talk to them during dinner, how about it?"

In this case, Zhang Xuan could only nod and respond, and then the two of them said goodbye and prepared for the dinner.

The whole city is busy with this.
