Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 139 Follow-up measures to deal with Buddhism

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Cheng looked at the numbers displayed in the national treasury on the Gold Finger panel, and an uncontrollable excitement appeared on his face.

Feng Bao bowed and stood beside Xiao Cheng, holding the memorial in his hand, and reported:

"In the Ganye Temple, gold, silver, and copper were confiscated, totaling 4301 million taels. In addition, there are jewels, colored glaze and other treasures, which have been returned to His Majesty's private treasury."

Feng Bao waved his hand, and dozens of young eunuchs hurriedly carried dozens of trays into the hall, knelt down on the ground, and held them up high.

"These are treasures selected from Ganye Temple."

Xiao Cheng nodded slightly, got up and looked over one by one.

Most of these things are scriptures and classics, apart from Buddhist scriptures, they are martial arts secret books collected by Ganye Temple.

It's just that these secret books, if you open them casually, are almost the same as ordinary Buddhist scriptures. They use Buddhist nouns throughout, and they look cloudy and foggy.Without the guidance of Buddhist masters, Xiao Cheng couldn't practice well.

the rest.They are also considered treasures, but most of them are one-star treasures without special effects.

There are only a few that can catch Xiao Cheng's eyes.

[Shurangama mantra on top of the Buddha, four-star treasure
Introduction: From the Shurangama Sutra, the supreme classic of Buddhism, practitioners can overcome evil grievances and difficulties, and achieve complete success in their practice

Study effect: Those who study have a chance to realize Buddhist martial arts, and the force value increases to 90 (this chance depends on the cultivation of Buddhism)]

[Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra, three-star treasure
Introduction: All conditioned dharmas, like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, should be viewed as such
Study effect: Those who study have a chance to realize Buddhist martial arts, cultivation below the eighth level, force value +30 (this chance depends on the cultivation of Buddhism)]

【Vairocana Buddha Lotus Hat, Three-Star Treasure
Introduction: How to control the ten bodies?Tanyue went up on the top of Pilu.

Wearing effect: The person who wears it will gain the skill "Bright Wisdom" and morality +10. 】

[Hua Lian cassock, two-star treasure
Introduction: Dharma robes worn by monks can keep away from cold, heat, mosquitoes, and those who see them will be happy, eliminate all crimes, and cut off the five desires

Wearing effect: the person who wears it, morality +5]

Among them is the only four-star treasure, the Great Buddha with the Shurangama Mantra on top of it, Xiao Cheng was a little surprised.

"There is a chance to realize Buddhist martial arts, and the force value will increase to 90." This thing means that the force value will increase to 90.That is to say, even a great virtuous monk who does not know martial arts can be promoted to the ninth rank master overnight just by triggering the effect.

The increased force value of this thing seems a bit exaggerated!
But looking at Ganye Temple, who is the leader of Buddhism, there are only two ninth-level masters among them, and it can be seen that the effect of this thing may not be so easy to trigger.

Xiao Cheng waved his hand helplessly, and ordered:
"Put it away!"

"Yes!"

Anyway, it's all good stuff.But unfortunately, Xiao Cheng doesn't seem to be able to use any of them!

But getting so much money is obviously enough, and one should be content.

Feng Bao waved his hand quickly, and the little eunuchs quickly bowed and retreated.

Xiao Cheng sat back on the throne and said:

"What happened in Ganye Temple should have spread to temples all over the country!"

Feng Bao quickly lowered his head and said:

"Yes, now the middle school temple has received the news. Among the Buddhist sects, they are already preparing to send people to Beijing to meet His Majesty."

Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words:

"Yo, Dongchang has been developing very fast recently, and it has all extended into the Buddhist gate!"

Feng Bao replied immediately:
"Monks are human too. How can anyone not be afraid of death? During the Ganye Temple incident, several monks from Ganye Temple were left behind in Dongchang. They managed to control them with some means, and now they are all sent out! These monks originally had a high status in the Buddhist sect, and when they went to various temples, they would naturally be able to get in touch with the core plans of the Buddhist sect. Now, every move of the Buddhist sect cannot escape His Majesty's eyes!"

"Well, the ordinary monks don't know what the Ganye Temple did, but the abbots of those big temples know it well. How could they believe that they were accused of colluding with traitors? I'm afraid they came to Beijing this time to investigate Hui The cause of Kai's death, and use this as an excuse to attack me."

Hearing this, Feng Bao quickly asked:
"Then, Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with it?"

"It's always a trouble, but it's better to make them burn out and have no time to take care of it!"

When Feng Bao heard this, his eyes moved, and he muttered:
"There are a lot of filthy things in Buddhism. Otherwise, how could there be so many gangsters who pretend to be monks and commit crimes every year? Just spread these things and they will always be in a hurry."

Xiao Cheng burst out laughing, pointed at Feng Bao and said:
"Hahaha! A prodigal son with no hair, a Tathagata with a family. Killing monks, setting fire to looting monks. Your tricks are useless, but they will definitely work!"

Hearing Xiao Cheng laughed, Feng Bao also smiled and said:

"The servant girl didn't think it was abusive, after all, she was just telling the truth!"

The creativity of the common people cannot be underestimated.Even if you only tell the truth, as long as the people's awe of Buddhism is broken, some stories will become more outrageous if they add oil and vinegar.Isn't Feng Bao's move just a slap in the face.

You are good or bad, I like it so much!
Xiao Cheng nodded and said with a smile:
"Okay, you can go to Dongchang to handle this matter, and someone will cooperate with you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Xiao Cheng was quite satisfied, and said:

"The recent errands have been done well! I will reward you with a fat job to sell all the things confiscated by Ganye Temple for me. You will get a per cent of the money you get. How much benefit you can get depends entirely on your ability! "

Feng Bao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

One centimeter, one hundredth, doesn't sound like much, but the items from Ganye Temple are worth a lot.

If you find a way to sell 800 million taels, you can get 8 taels, and if you sell 1000 million taels, you will get [-] taels.This is the kind that Xiao Cheng personally asks him to take, and he has no worries about the future.

Feng Bao was overjoyed immediately, hurriedly ran down the steps of his majesty, knelt down in the hall, kowtowed respectfully, and said:

"Slave, thank Your Majesty for the reward!"

Xiao Cheng raised his hand to let Feng Bao stand up, but suddenly remembered something, and said:
"It's just that this trick alone seems to be almost meaningless."

When Feng Bao heard this, his eyes rolled again, and he quickly added:
"My slaves have also heard that Taoism is prevalent in the Central Plains. If it is introduced, the Buddhist side will worship it for folk beliefs, and it will definitely focus on it..."

"Taoism?" Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Taoism and Taoism, in fact, the relationship between the two is not great, but it can not be said that there is no connection.

Taoism is a school of thought among hundreds of schools of thought, and Taoism is a religious sect born of the combination of Taoism's careful thought and spread, folklore, and worship of gods and ghosts.Taoism has flourished in these hundreds of years and has already occupied the folk beliefs in the Central Plains.

You must know that the power of Buddhism is not stronger than all schools of thought in the world.However, a large part of the reason why Buddhism can monopolize Yunguo is because of the differences between this school of thought and religion.

People always need faith.

For the schools of thought, only when the students understand the essence of the theories of the schools of thought and realize the mysteries of the heaven and the earth with the ideas of the schools of thought, will they have that kind of belief.

For religion, there is only one pursuit that everyone cannot resist, such as longevity, seeking immortality, and becoming a Buddha.Or a fictional, beautiful picture, such as a quiet paradise free from disease and worry.Even a single sentence can attract the simple beliefs of many people.

As far as Buddhism is concerned, as long as the various schools of thought do not have the idea of ​​developing power in the country of Yun, and do not send core personnel to the country of Yun, they will not mind the spread of theories of various schools in the country of Yun.

But if you see the figure of Taoism, it is the encirclement and suppression of Buddhism with all its strength.

Xiao Cheng considered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"feasible!"

Introducing Taoism is actually just an expedient measure to hold back Buddhism and make it overwhelmed.

After all, Xiao Cheng's plan to build himself into a living god needs time to plan, and there are achievements that can convince the world, otherwise it is a joke.

At this time, Xiao Cheng spoke again:

"The decree is that Great Master Huikai passed away, and Ganye Temple colluded with rebels, and will no longer be enshrined by the royal family. The position of Great Master, who leads the monks in the country, cannot be vacant. I want to hold a Buddhist conference. With the realm of Buddhism and martial arts, Choose the next Archmage!"

This great master of Buddhism, conferred by the royal family, is recognized as the leader of Buddhism.In the previous dynasties, it was the head of the Ganye Temple, and the rest of the temples were the abbots, and there was no chance at all.But now Xiao Cheng's move is to put this position out for people to fight for.

There is no denying that among these monks, there are people with high morals.However, most people in the Buddhist sect practice Buddhism only on the lips, and the six sense organs are not pure at all.Faced with this opportunity to become a Buddhist leader, there are not many people who are not tempted!
Hearing this, Feng Bao immediately understood what Xiao Cheng meant, and sent him another flattery, complimenting him:

"Your Majesty's method is the way to be upright and upright. But this move hits the key point of the Buddhist sect. Seducing the Buddhist sect with the position of a great mage will inevitably cause the Buddhist sect to fight each other and become jealous. Compared with these tricks of slaves, I don't know where Gao Ming has gone!"

Xiao Cheng shook his head and said:

"If you want to make Buddhism completely non-threatening, these methods will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. If you hurry up and send people to search, I don't believe it. There is no Buddhist temple that strictly abides by the rules in this country."

The belief in Buddhism is really deep in Yun Country, and it is difficult to shake it for a while.

The best way now is to find a Buddhist temple that is obedient and sensible, does not mix with the world, and strictly abides by the rules and regulations, and supports them to become Buddhist leaders.

If there really isn't one, Xiao Cheng doesn't mind creating such a Buddhist sect!

Feng Bao heard this and quickly explained:

"The slave has already stepped up and sent people to various places to search for it. It will not take long before news will come back. Please wait a little longer, Your Majesty."

　I had root canal surgery today, it hurts so much, I can't concentrate at all.

　　Although it is a little late, but after all, there is no bounced ticket, everyone forgive me...

　　Everyone should pay attention to caring for your teeth. If this thing is sick, it will be expensive and troublesome to treat, and you will suffer!
