Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 265 Traitor of the country?
Zhongqing City, Senglu Division.

Although it was already late at night, the Senglusi tonight was obviously a little lively.A dozen great monks, taking advantage of the darkness of night, quietly came to the Senglu Division.

These monks are all wearing satin cassocks, and they are of different ages, but just looking at their demeanor, they are all extraordinary.Each of them is a solemn image of treasure.

If there are Buddhist believers here at this time, they will definitely be able to recognize many eminent monks who they have known and respected in the past among the great monks who came late at night!

At this time, in the Senglu Division, wisdom fans and wisdom have been waiting for a long time.Seeing a group of monks coming, they greeted them one by one.

Not long after, nearly half of the abbots and masters of the Buddhist temples have gathered in the Senglu Division.

Zhimi took a step forward, clasped his hands together, saluted slightly, and said:
"Zhimi is only on behalf of Master Liuhuai and Hui Qizhengyin, and welcomes all senior uncles, uncles, and senior brothers. It's hard work for you to come here at night, because the situation in my Buddhist school is critical, so I have to act like this!"

When all the monks and all the monks heard the words, they all put their hands together and returned them with Buddha's courtesy.

Then I heard some monks couldn't help but say:

"Wisdom fan vice seal, we all know which is more important! The failure of Buddhism and Taoism has already threatened the foundation of my Buddhist existence, so I should stop saying these polite words!"

Hearing this, Wisdom Fan couldn't help but salute slightly to them again, and immediately led all the great monks into the monk's room quickly.

At this time, the monk Liuhuai had already been waiting in the monk's room for a long time.

Although Liuhuai was the youngest and was born in a wild temple on the frontier, he didn't have much prestige in connections among Buddhist sects.

But as the canonized by His Majesty today, the leader of Buddhism on the face of it, everyone naturally dare not be disrespectful in front of him.The first thing to do when entering the monk's room is to bow to him.

Liu Huai sat on the head and accepted the salutes from everyone frankly.

A monk sat down and looked left and right, but none of them saw Senglusi Zhengyin, the figure of Huiqi, the number one master of Buddhism, couldn't help frowning slightly, looked at Zhimi, and asked hesitantly:

"Dare to ask Zhi Fan Vice Seal, where is Master Huiqi?"

When Monk Liuhuai saw all the monks seated, he asked Hui Qi's whereabouts immediately, and couldn't help but twitch his brows.

The meaning of the monks is as if the Buddhist school can't do anything without his blessing!
Huili on the side couldn't help but speak first, and said with dissatisfaction:
"Master Huiqi, but you look down on the clever tricks we play for the prosperity of Buddhism!"

When all the monks heard the words, they immediately frowned, and looked at Liuhuai, Zhimi, and Huili in unison.

For Buddhism, whether it is the targeting of the royal family, the court, or the invasion of various schools of thought, the harm to itself is not as great as the slightest threat from Taoism!

Therefore, for the abbots of these great temples, the failure of the Buddhist and Taoist debate is an extremely serious matter.

But looking at the appearance of Liuhuai and others, it seems that the higher-ups of the Buddhist sect have made some trouble again!
There are already worries outside, and if it is added to the internal struggle of Buddhism, it is something that everyone does not want to see.

Wisdom fans saw the group of monks like this, immediately coughed lightly, laughed inexplicably, and said:
"Everyone also knows that Uncle Hui Qi has a noble character and is dedicated to pure cultivation. He has always been unwilling to let the mundane world contaminate his practice. Just as Uncle Hui Qi taught us on weekdays, self-cultivation is the foundation..."

This is obviously much smarter than what Huili said.

Although Hui Qi did say these words, it was only to persuade a few people to concentrate on cultivation.

But after Zhimi said it with such a tone and expression, it seemed that Huiqi looked down on all the monks present and taught them not to concentrate on cultivation, but to use these methods to maintain the prestige of Buddhism.

All of a sudden, the faces of the monks present were obviously a little ugly.

When they came here at this time, they naturally knew that the gathering tonight was to discuss ways to deal with Taoism.Since it is necessary to use means, it is inevitable to lose the pure heart of Buddhism.Those who want to argue against Taoism by relying on the strength of Buddhism's own cultivation base will not come tonight!
In this way, the words that Zhimi relayed and what Hui Qi said sounded like scolding all the monks present.

Seeing that the faces of all the great monks present are not very good-looking, Liu Huai, Zhi Mi and Hui Li couldn't help but secretly feel complacent.

Suppressing Huiqi's prestige is the common goal of the three of them at this time.

"Okay, don't waste any more time!" Liu Huai coughed lightly and said loudly.

"Inviting all of you to come here today is really to save my Buddhist school from the decline caused by the failure of the previous debate!"

After Liu Huai finished speaking, someone asked:

"I waited to come here, and it was precisely for this reason!"

"If the Archmage has any ideas, please speak up!"

The great monks present here are either Buddhist eminent monks with a reputation throughout the county, or the abbot of that temple. They can be regarded as "vested interests".For them, they obviously don't want and can't accept that Buddhism is overwhelmed by Taoism, so their attitude is naturally very positive!

Liu Huai heard the words, looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice:
"The poor monk believes that the influence of our Buddhism is not as good as before, and the debate between Buddhism and Taoism only accounts for less than half of it. After all, in the result of the debate, our Buddhism is only slightly inferior! The most important reason is because of... various reasons, which caused my The prestige of the monks is not as good as before!"

The "various reasons" that Liu Huai said made all the monks lower their eyebrows and lower their eyes, clasping their hands together and chanting the slogan lightly.

The reason why the influence of the Buddhist sect has been greatly reduced is not because the previous high-level Buddhist sects did not know how to live or die and blocked the way of His Majesty today.This time, His Majesty has attracted several shots, causing the prestige of Buddhism to drop to the bottom of the 600-year-old Yun Kingdom.

However, these words should not be mentioned too much!

Liu Huai coughed lightly, and said again:

"That's why the poor monk came up with an idea, just to revive the prestige of my Buddhist sect in Yunguo!"

"The poor monk has discussed with the two deputy seals and plans to..."

At this time, Liu Huai presented the magic version of "Journey to the East" that he had come up with to the great monks present one by one.

In the monk's room, there was silence for a long time.

One of the monks said with some hesitation:

"This method...does it really work?"

After hearing the words, Zhi Fan said quite confidently:
"I am Dayun sweeping the kingdoms in the west, defeating Xiali in the east, covering thousands of miles, benefiting all directions, and being incomparably strong. The barbarians of the foreign countries, who admire me, King Hua of Dayun, come from thousands of miles to seek the scriptures. Proud and moved! My Buddhism is involved, and this reputation will definitely increase."

Well, in a nutshell, exploiting national pride.

The most common examples are those gringos who can't speak Chinese well on the Internet, but keep saying "XX is not good, Huaxia is good".This is what they use.

Under Xiao Cheng's leadership, Yun Kingdom's national power is in its heyday rarely seen in hundreds of years.Externally, war victories continue.Internally, the emperor is both civil and military, benevolent and caring for the people, and has a high prestige, and has begun to show deification.

At this time, a foreign country and barbarians come to Yunguo to embody the cultural victory of Yunguo. The people don't talk about a collective climax, but also have a collective spiritual satisfaction, full of pride and pride!

The great monks who can get to this position must have active minds.Just turning around in my mind, I immediately understood the benefits of this method.

Public opinion and public opinion are the easiest to be fanned and forgotten. As long as the operation is done properly, the black material that was dug out of Buddhism at the beginning will naturally be turned over!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but nodded slightly.

And at this moment, another person said in a deep voice:

"Since this is the case, it needs the cooperation of Tianzhu Buddhism! If it is not handled properly and people notice it, it will be a big disaster!"

Your Buddhist sect claims that there are disciples from Tianzhu Buddhist sect who admire King Yun to come here, but if it is found out that you randomly recruited someone to pretend to deal with it, it would be a huge scandal.On the Taoist side, I'm afraid they will die of happiness!

Hearing the monk's worries, Liu Huai smiled slightly, but said:
"To tell you the truth, I, Shi Yuanzong, inherited the Great Monk Alagana, and my ancestral home is in the northwestern border of Dayun, and we still have connections with the Buddhism in Tianzhu!"

It's really not his nonsense.On his side, he really has some connection with Tianzhu Buddhism.

Shiyuan Temple was the first temple built by Tianzhu monks when they entered Yunguo. It was located in the southwestern border of Yunguo, not too far away from Tianzhu.

For hundreds of years, this Shiyuan Temple has lost contact with the Buddhism in Yunguo, but it has never broken the connection with Tianzhu Buddhism.Finding a way to invite a Buddhist disciple from Tianzhu to cooperate is really not a difficult task for the monk Liuhuai.

Even at this time, the people he sent to Tianzhu by Liuhuai will be back soon!
Hearing this, all the monks immediately nodded their heads again and again, without any further hesitation, they leaned over and said in unison:

"For my Buddhist sect, I would like to listen to the arrangement of the Great Master!"

Liu Huai looked at all the monks who bowed their heads in front of him, expressing their surrender, and his breath was slightly rough.

That's it, that's what it feels like!This feeling is completely different from the feeling of being revered as a golden Buddha statue in the past!

Liu Huai blinked his eyes, and said in a bold tone:

"In this case, let's start preparing according to our previous discussion!"

"Follow the Archmage's decree!"

On the second day, the people who got up early in Zhongqing City were stunned when they passed by Senglusi, and looked at the door of Senglusi with a look of astonishment and surprise on their faces.

It is already the time of summer and autumn, and the leaves on the branches in front of Senglusi have already turned yellow, floating down in twos and threes.

But this morning, the people were surprised to find that the trees in Senglusi had turned green again.On the branches, pink stamens bloom out of season.

The most surprising thing is that the branches of these trees are pointing straight to the west at this time, without any artificial decoration.When the morning breeze blows, the branches lighten slightly, as if they are welcoming someone.

At the same time, there was a rumor that a monk from Tianzhu traveled thousands of miles east to our Dayun Country to obtain scriptures, and quietly spread in the Cloud Country.

When people heard about it in the marketplace, they all thought of the trees Qiqi pointed at in front of Senglusi's gate, but they didn't take it to heart, they just took it as an anecdote...
-
Li Dynasty, Thang Long Mansion.

On the street, hundreds of armored guards cleared the way, and then a group of guards of honor escorted them slowly, surrounded by a gorgeous carriage.

On the frame of the carriage, a banner with the words "Imperial Marquis of Wanrong" fluttered, revealing the identity of the visitor.

Taiwei Chen Feng of the Li Dynasty, because he helped the current king of Li, Dayun Kingdom conferred the title of King An Li Weining, wiped out the cronies in the court, and regained power. At that time, it can be said that "under one person, above ten thousand people".

When Chen Feng's carriage passed by, the people of the Li Dynasty on the street had strange expressions and remained silent.

Occasionally, some unruly martial arts figures showed contempt and contempt for the convoy in front of them, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice:
"Coward! Traitor!"

Chen Feng, who was born as a commoner and won the position of Taiwei with his military achievements, had a very high prestige among the people before.Countless disciples from poor families in the Li Dynasty all took him as their role model.

Even though the failure of the two battles against Yun Kingdom in the past caused the great loss of Li Dynasty's national power, Chen Feng's reputation among the people has not reached the point where he is now being reviled in the street!

Several armored warriors escorting the frame were deaf, and when they heard the curse of the martial artist, they immediately frowned, stepped forward, came straight to the man, and shouted condescendingly:
"What did you say!"

Armored warriors are all warriors on the battlefield, full of bloody aura, coming with the sound of violent drinking.The common people beside the martial arts practitioners panicked and frightened, they ran away on hands and feet.

The martial artist was also overwhelmed by the chilling aura of the battlefield, subconsciously took a step back.

Immediately, he immediately realized that he was retreating, and with a look of embarrassment turned into anger, he felt ruthless in his heart, and immediately shouted angrily with the meaning of grief and indignation in his heart:
"I said, Chen Feng is in a high position and is in charge of the army, but because of several defeats, he is afraid of the Yun Kingdom, so he even encouraged the king to accept the imperial decree of the Yun Kingdom, so that I can go to the Kingdom of Daan and become a subordinate of the Yun Kingdom! Chen Feng is not only a coward, but also a treacherous minister who will be reviled by the government and the people of my Daan Kingdom..."

"Bold!"

As Chen Feng's personal soldier, the Iron Armored Warrior immediately became furious when he heard the words. He swung his long spear in his hand, and the end of the spear immediately drew a white light.

The martial artist frowned, pulled out his saber brazenly, and collided with the armored warrior's spear.

"Bold!"

"There are assassins!"

The armored warriors at the side saw that this person dared to fight back with a knife, and immediately found the reason for the attack, shouted violently, and gathered around, vowing to take down this rude person.

As Chen Feng's personal soldiers, among the elite soldiers of a country, the Iron Armored Warriors are naturally extremely brave.Even though people in the martial arts world have higher levels of cultivation, they are still blocked by the left and right under the encirclement of the army, and there are many dangers.

And at this moment, a coughing sound suddenly came from the frame.

"Cough, cough, cough, stop!"

Chen Feng opened the car window to reveal his face. On the thin cheeks, there was only a layer of skin covering the bones.The eyes that were originally sharp and full of sharpness were now slightly gray and cloudy.Previously, there were only some gray hairs, but now all of them turned into gray hairs.

Chen Feng, who is in his prime, looks like he is in his seventies or eighties at a glance.

　The work matter has come to an end for the time being.In the next few days, before the community is unblocked, I should be able to add a few more days...
