Chapter 835 Father and Son (2)
Li Tong's question really made Li Ling interested.
He has thought about why Luo Tian Sect was born and how it continued over the years, and asked the relevant people, but he has never had a definite answer.
This is obviously the highest secret of the Luotian Cult. Ordinary believers only know that the Holy Church has the true god of the Sun and Moon, which is to make the decision for the poor people, to lead them to overthrow the corrupt Dayue Dynasty and let them live a good life; furthermore, there are more ideas such as building a new dynasty...
Perhaps Shao Qiuxi, among the senior officials of the Luotian Sect who Li Ling could come into contact with, knew the truth. But he has always kept silent about it, and Li Ling didn't ask too much, so this matter has always become a mystery, a mystery that has not been solved yet.
Today, just after seeing that his father was a senior member of the Luotian Sect, he actually mentioned this key to himself. Li Ling was naturally very interested and stared at him and asked, "Why did Luotian Sect be born?"
Li Tong's expression became extremely serious, with a hint of excitement: "My Holy Church is named Luo Tian, just to capture all the Sun clans who regard themselves as emperors, and make them pay the price! The origin of my Holy Church is the same as the current Dayue Dynasty. At the beginning of its founding, my Holy Church already had my Holy Church, because the leader of my Holy Church is the real master of the world and the former Song royal family!"
This answer really surprised Li Ling. I didn't expect that the Luotian Sect's origin was like this. They were actually related to the Zhao Song royal family!
According to current historical records, Emperor Taizu of this dynasty was a minister of the Song Dynasty when he was young. Then he worked hard step by step, and continued to accumulate strength through disputes between the Central Plains and the Liao and Jin countries at the end of the Song Dynasty. After several wars, he truly mastered a strong and loyal army force after the army.
Then, Emperor Taizu did not, like many foolish and loyal generals in history, have to ensure his loyalty even if he died. Instead, he launched a mutiny and controlled all the tyrant monarchs and treacherous ministers in the court at that time, and became a powerful minister in the Song Dynasty like Cao Cao and Huo Guang.
Then, he experienced various changes through various methods and unified the army in the world and paved the way for his emperor. After everything was ready, he cleverly used the Chai clan of Later Zhou, who had been stolen by Zhao Song, to take the throne of the lord of the world into his own hands.
After all, Chai Zhou, who only mentioned it in history books, Taizu officially ascended the throne and established the country three years later, which was for the Great Yue. Because of Chai Zhou's excessiveness, Emperor Taizu lost the reputation of being a minister as a minister. After all, he was a Song minister, but he was not considered a Zhou minister, because even the little emperor of the Chai family was held by him.
But unexpectedly, the Zhao family, who had long been destroyed, had never given up. After the founding of the Great Yue Kingdom, they secretly created such a Luotian Sect, which took it as their responsibility to overthrow the Yue Kingdom. Even a hundred years later, they were still in chaos in the world and disrupting the world!
It turns out that the incident of Zhu San Prince Zhu in history is legendary enough, but compared with Luo Tian Sect, it is still a bit small.
At the same time, Li Ling could understand why this origin became the biggest secret of the Luotian Sect. Because if the court really knew their origin, it would have been wiped out by the government at all costs decades ago. No government would tolerate the existence of the previous dynasty and provoke the majesty of the government again and again.
In the past, the imperial court cracked down on the Luotian Sect, but it was impossible to do its best. Therefore, the local governments always focus on local stability and will not kill them. But as long as this secret truth is spread, within two or three years, the Luotian Sect will inevitably be uprooted!
Li Tong didn't know Li Ling's true thoughts. Seeing him showing surprise, he continued to follow his thoughts: "This truth is that few people know about my holy religion, but this also proves that my holy religion is orthodox. Our leader's lineage is much nobler than those who have usurped the throne and rebels!
"I thought that when the Song Dynasty was rich and the country was rich, I was very polite and valued Sun Tu. But as a result, he not only did not want to repay the kindness of the emperor, but instead did such a defiant thing, and also became emperor. He built such a great Yue Dynasty. He was really shameless!
"Anyone with conscience will ignore what they do and think of my prosperous era in the Song Dynasty! Do you know how rich the world was in the Song Dynasty. The people did not have to worry about food and clothing, and there was no such thing as today's officials everywhere imposed heavy taxes, and the wealthy families embezzled civilian industries, making ordinary people difficult to make a living, and they would soon have no place to gain a foothold.
"That is why our Holy Church will become more and more prosperous and have a lot of arrangements in such a heart-to-heart place as Huguang. Believe me, this time, we will be able to take over Huguang in one fell swoop, so as to follow the trend and recreate the prosperity of our emperor Song."
As he said that, he even stared at his son's face: "Ling'er, do you know what my Li family came from? We are the loyal ministers of the Emperor Song Dynasty, and we will give everything to the revival of the Song Dynasty!
"Our ancestor Li Gang was willing to be enemies of Sun Tu in order to save the Song Dynasty. Even if his family died in the end, he never regretted it. Today, you, my father and son should follow the example of his ancestors and do their best to establish a country for our Song Dynasty.
"You are now a high-ranking official in the court and have great power. You just happened to cooperate with me. In this way, we can take Xiangfan more easily and make the first contribution to the uprising! When the matter is completed, I will lead you to meet the leader and other elders. With your and my contributions, the past misunderstandings will naturally be resolved. You will inevitably become a great minister to the emperor and Song Dynasty again. It is not impossible to be a marquis and prime minister, so why should you be the lackey of the usurpation minister?"
Okay, after saying this, Li Tong turned his head and wanted to pull his son into his own camp!
Li Ling was shocked. He was obviously trying to persuade his father to go back and explain everything to him, but after all, he persuaded him to surrender. Moreover, he was using such a ridiculous reason!
When he saw his father's excited look, he realized that he really thought so, thinking that Zhao Song was so good back then, and now there are problems everywhere in Dayue. If he hadn't also known some history, he would have been deceived by his father.
So, under Li Tong's expectant gaze, Li Ling said seriously: "Dad, do you really agree with everything you said and think that those are true?"
"That's of course, don't you see anything right now? The people today..."
Li Ling quickly interrupted him: "I naturally see these things since I came to Huguang. Indeed, there are many injustice in the world, and there are too many people who kill people without blood for personal gain. Many poor people have also suffered from their exploitation and abuse... I will not deny all of this.
"However, I have also seen many people trying to correct things. I myself, including myself, are thinking about cracking down on the powerful and saving the people, and at least letting them have their own land to eat and wear. This is what Your Majesty thinks today, and what the court does, and what I do. So you want to use this to illustrate how unbearable the Dayue court is. It is obviously not convincing enough when it is time to overthrow it."
As he said that, he saw that his cheap father's expression had become a little gloomy, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with his statement. However, Li Ling didn't care about this and just smiled and said, "There is another point, father, you are also wrong, and it's a big mistake!"
"Where did I say it wrong?" Li Tongqiang asked patiently.
"That is, the powerful Zhao Song you praised, and how rich and happy the people were in the Song Dynasty, this is simply a lie. Let's not mention that Zhao Song's position was not right. It was because the orphan and widowed mother of the Later Zhou Dynasty were in power, and Zhao Kuangyin held military power, so he mutiny in Chenqiao and seized the world. Just talking about Zhao Song's failure to revive after winning the world, and causing a large area of northern territory to be reduced to the hands of foreign tribes. Such a crime is not worth mentioning in the Han dynasties.
"What's more important is that as far as I know, Zhao Ji, the last emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty, was a complete foolish monarch. He favored many treacherous corrupt officials, and caused hundreds of millions of people in the world to suffer for his own selfishness. There were countless people in Jiangnan who died because of the destruction of Hua Shigang's family, and Fang La raised an army. In addition, in the war with foreign tribes such as Liao and Jin, Zhao Ji was defeated repeatedly and had already reached the verge of destruction of the country.
"A dynasty like this will only harm the people and have almost no achievements in the world, but you call it a wise monarch of the holy dynasty, and everyone yearns for it. It is really a big absurdity in the world! If I want to say, Zhao Song shouldn't have appeared, Emperor Taizu was born too late, and it should have been destroyed a hundred years ago. Only in this way can our Han people not suffer such pain and grievances!"
Bang—A loud noise interrupted Li Ling's words behind him. Li Tong was angry, stood up, pointed at his son and shouted: "You... are simply a traitor, a traitor..."
"I am a minister of Dayue. What's the problem with Zhao Song's fault?" Li Ling looked at him without any fear, and then quickly added, "Also, do you think that Zhao Song can really continue without the Taizu of this dynasty? I'm afraid that he will be defeated even worse at that time. Then Zhao Ji and his son will only become prisoners of the Jurchens, and the entire Zhao Song will also become a laughing stock in the world and be ridiculed by all generations!
"Also, even if there are still people from the Zhao family who survived and escaped, they would just continue to survive in the southeast for a while and end up with a death and a destruction of the country.
"So, I took Zhao Song and replaced it to conform to the principles of heaven and man. However, you old and corrupt officials have been trying to turn the black and white into trouble for a hundred years. This is a great crime and a great damn thing!"
