Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 541 The God-Buddha Controversy
----

The spring of the 11th year of the reform was destined to be a bloody storm. Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Twelve Guards fought in Shendu. The brutality was enough to be remembered by the people of Shendu for decades.

That night, thunderstorms continued, and blood flowed along with the rainwater, turning the water in the drainage channels of Shendu red. The stench of corpses surrounded Shendu for several years, and there were often flocks of crows hovering over Shendu.

This drama of four dragons fighting for the dragon finally came to an end with the fourth prince, Prince Yong, as the winner!
With the help of the Buddhist Jing Nian Zen sect, Prince Yong defeated his three elder brothers with the power of thunder and clearing the acupuncture points, and in one fell swoop cleared several major obstacles before becoming the Great Chong Emperor.

After Prince Yong completely slaughtered the three competitors and used ruthless methods to eradicate the weeds, there was no suspense about the throne. All forces in Buddhism also recognized the fact that Prince Yong was the crown prince.

"The overall situation is set!"

Under such circumstances, not to mention that the Gengshi Emperor was ill, even if the Gengshi Emperor had no illness or disaster, when the Crown Prince, King Kang, and King Fu were all dead, and only one adult prince was alive, he could only pass the throne to this 'unable' one. Dutiful son'.

Otherwise, not only the major Buddhist forces would not agree, but also the tens of thousands of left and right military guards who had launched an army with Prince Yong would not allow Emperor Gengshi to 'make mistakes' again.

After all, Prince Yong's succession to the throne is the general trend. Only by Prince Yong's succession can the benefits promised to Buddhism and the benefits promised to tens of thousands of people who dare to fight be realized one by one.

At this juncture, it should not be said that the Gengshi Emperor himself had an unfair position. He got the throne by bullying orphans and widowed mothers.Even though he is the King of Horses and the founder of the country through hundreds of battles, he still has to temporarily compromise with this general trend.

From ancient times to the present, any emperor who blocks the interests of the army will not end well, no matter how prestigious the emperor once was.In the face of real interests, no matter how high the prestige or majesty is, it can't stop people's greed from trampling on them.

When Prince Yong led his army to knock on the gate of the palace, the old and dying Emperor Gengshi looked at his four sons who were both familiar and unfamiliar, and looked at his four sons who were full of blood and blood.

Everything seems to be a reincarnation. With the support of the army, the Gengshi Emperor ended the [-]-year rule of the former Tang Dynasty and opened up a grand foundation for the world.

In response to this, Emperor Gengshi burst into tears. Facing the same indifferent face as before, he could not help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Retribution!!"

In the autumn of the [-]th year of Gengshi, Prince Yong Shangjun entered the East Palace and became the crown prince of Dachong. In the spring of the twelfth year of Gengshi, Emperor Gengshi issued an edict to pass on the throne to the crown prince and crown prince on the grounds of old age and frailty.

As a result, Prince Shangjun was able to succeed to the throne, and Emperor Gengshi was the emperor, with the reign name Yongzheng. He was the second emperor of Dachong, and he was entrusted with the destiny of Emperor Yongzheng!

After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he not only generously rewarded the meritorious officials, but also regarded Buddhism as the state religion, established Buddhism's unshakable position in Dachong, and proclaimed himself "Namo Relic King Buddha" to show his closeness to Buddhism.

Since then, Buddhism has regained its vitality, and its luck has once risen to a level that no one else dared to imagine. It is almost only a hair away from the Buddhist kingdom on earth. Even the golden dragon of national luck almost became the symbol of the eight heavenly dragons of Buddhism.

Emperor Yongzheng believed in Buddhism so much, which naturally made many Taoist people dissatisfied. However, Buddhism had been strong for a long time, so even though the Taoist people were dissatisfied, they had to endure it.

However, there are many words of praise and criticism circulating in the market, calling Emperor Yongzheng the "Emperor of the Buddha Kingdom", which is full of irony.

…………

In the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign, Daming Palace, Xia!

"Your Majesty,"

A middle-aged servant in red robe stood under His Majesty Dan, his expression full of respect, and said: "The Twelve Guards Army has been assembled, led by the Twelve Guards General, and is stationed at the four gates of Shendu, waiting for the Emperor. God's decree."

"Army of the Twelve Guards!!" Emperor Yongzheng sat on the throne, with a hint of indifference on his face. The purple light between his eyebrows became more and more high-spirited. The supreme and noble meaning in every move made the red-robed inner prisoner remain silent.

"Is the list ready?"

Emperor Yongzheng glanced at the red-robed eunuch indifferently and said: "This time, I will implement the strategy of destroying Buddhism. I must cut off the grass and root out the roots. I will determine the outcome with one blow and not give Buddhism a chance to repeat itself."

In these eight years, Emperor Yongzheng's throne has been consolidated, and the power he has in his hands is different from before. At least he has hundreds of thousands of elite troops in his hands, which is enough to suppress any evil thoughts in the world.

"Your Majesty, the black-clothed guards under the old slave have come up with this list after eight years of repeated investigations. All the people on it are die-hard figures in Buddhism."

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are all-encompassing, forming a huge network with each other. Its power is so shocking that some state and county governments have almost become puppets of Buddhism."

When he said this, the red-robed eunuch lowered his head a little lower again. His heart was pounding. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Emperor Yongzheng's face, and he didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from his temples.

“It’s something that’s expected, why should it be so rare?”

Emperor Yongzheng looked calm, and he was obviously mentally prepared for the influence of Buddhism. The spreading roots of Buddhism have touched every aspect of the huge empire, and even the deep palaces have the beginning and end of Buddhism.

This was due to Emperor Yongzheng's own connivance and the foundation accumulated by Buddhism over the past [-] years. The potential power of Buddhism is so powerful that it is simply unimaginable.

After all, Baoguang Tathagata is the head of the 35 Tathagatas of Buddhism. He is much stronger than Emperor Dongyue, the first-realized innate god. This is also the reason why Buddhism in the Dachong world is so prosperous.

"Your Majesty, Buddhism is so powerful, if..." The red-robed eunuch looked hesitant. Although Emperor Yongzheng would definitely not want to hear these words, as a minister he could not remain silent.

"The power of Buddhism is indeed powerful. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all have their tentacles, which is really troublesome..."

With a slight smile on his face, Emperor Yongzheng made a slight stroke with his palm and said: "However, if I ignore it and directly cut off the roots of Buddhism, all the tentacles of Buddhism in scholars, farmers, industry and commerce will be completely wiped out. of cutting.”

"Burning down temples, confiscating property, disbanding monks, and ordering them to return to secular life, if we go through this step by step, I don't believe that Buddhism can create any turmoil."

Emperor Yongzheng's plain words contained a frightening aura of blood. Emperor Yongzheng had long been determined to go on a killing spree. Anyone who had anything to do with Buddhism would be included in Emperor Yongzheng's purge.

No matter who, no matter what his background is, as long as he has something to do with Buddhism, don't blame Emperor Yongzheng for being ruthless and ruthless.

Feeling Emperor Yongzheng's determination to raise the butcher's knife high, the middle-aged red-robed eunuch could only whisper: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"In the past dynasties of the Dachong world, there were also several emperors who destroyed the Buddha. Unfortunately, the Buddhist sect was so powerful that these emperors gave up halfway, and they themselves became infamous throughout the ages."

Emperor Yongzheng smiled coldly, waved his imperial robe suddenly, and said: "However, I don't care about the eternal infamy, nor do I think about seeking fame and reputation. Buddhism has poisoned the world too deeply and seriously threatened the majesty of the imperial power. This is The reason why I attacked Buddhism."

Unlike several other emperors who destroyed Buddhism, during the eight years that Emperor Yong Zheng ascended the throne, the Buddhist power gradually grew stronger due to Yong Zheng's deliberate laissez-faire.

However, Emperor Yongzheng also quietly cleaned away the traces of Buddhism in the Twelve Guards Army. The Twelve Guards Generals were all Yongzheng's cronies, and they firmly controlled Dachong's most capable army of hundreds of thousands.

Emperor Yongzheng, who commanded an army of hundreds of thousands, was confident that even if the world was full of rebellion, he would be able to push forward with his army of twelve guards and kill these rebels and rebels one by one.

The power of Buddhism is indeed huge, but how many Buddhist monks see the power of Buddhism and want to make money with a Buddhist background.How many Buddhist monks among them are willing to abandon their families and careers for the sake of an illusory Buddha and Bodhisattva, and their expressions remain unchanged even if they kill their heads and destroy their families.

Moreover, even if Buddhism wanted to destroy Dachong and overthrow Dachong because of Emperor Yongzheng's extermination of Buddhism, it would still have to wait and see whether the hundreds of thousands of elite troops under the command of the Twelve Guards would agree.

Long!Long!Long!
At some point, layers of black clouds shrouded the outside of the Daming Palace. Thunder snakes flew from the thick clouds. Pale white electric light exploded the clouds in a moment, illuminating the somewhat dim Daming Palace.

"Old Monk Baoguang, this is the end of the battle between you and me!"

Looking at the thunder and thunder between the thick clouds, Emperor Yongzheng smiled with a faint smile, which was filled with the unimaginable smell of blood, making people instinctively panic.

The bloody night in the eighth year of Yongzheng's reign was enough to become everyone's nightmare. The people who died silently on this night were once better than the battle between the princes in the eleventh year of Gengshi to seize the throne.

Even a battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops could not compare to the killings of this bloody night. This shows how terrifying the bloody night in the eighth year of Yong Zheng's reign was, and how many evil ghosts there were among them!

It was just the bloody night in the eighth year of Yong Zheng's reign, but it was not the internal strife of the Dachong court, but a planned purge of Buddhists by the Dachong court in order to stabilize the imperial power.

Just this night, hundreds of thousands of black-clad guards gathered from all states, prefectures and counties all over the world. Under the leadership of thousands and hundreds of households, they knocked on the doors of ancient Buddhist temples. .

A bloody massacre came without warning, and Buddhism suffered a heavy blow that had never been seen in [-] years.Although the [-] Buddhist monks were also a powerful force, they were still defeated one by one by the black-clothed guards' divine arrow team.

Under the rain of divine arrows, even the Martial Saint who refined his marrow like frost and exchanged blood for mercury slurry, with the powerful force of hundreds of enemies, was shot into a sieve of blood in an instant.

Even though each of the five hundred arhats in Buddhism was an enemy of a thousand people, under the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of Emperor Yongzheng, they had no choice but to flee in confusion, like a bereaved dog in panic all day long.

It can be said that heaven and earth changed overnight. Under the sudden butcher knife of the Dachong court, Buddhism cannot be said to be completely powerless to resist, but who would have thought that Emperor Yongzheng, who had always been friendly with Buddhism, would have such a terrifying side.

Buddhism is known as the Eight Hundred Great Temples, and the [-] small temples are widely spread all over the world. However, under the bloody massacre of Emperor Yongzheng, all the large temples and small temples were abandoned.

The great trend that Buddhism had accumulated over [-] years was overthrown by Emperor Yongzheng. From the 'Namo Relic King Buddha' to the enemy of Buddha in the world, it only took one thought of Emperor Yongzheng.

Buddhist scriptures were burned, Buddhists were killed, and the common people in the world were silenced under the power. All people and things related to Buddhism were erased by Emperor Yongzheng. For a time, even the word "Buddha" became a huge ban.

This was the powerful power that the imperial court unleashed. Emperor Yongzheng abandoned all burdens and tightly held the military power of the Twelve Guards of Dachong with one hand. With the power of the Twelve Guards in hand, he could change the situation.

Under such killings, all the [-] Buddha statues enshrined in Buddhism shed tears of blood.Such an ominous phenomenon once shocked Buddhists all over the world, but under the iron fist of Emperor Yongzheng, no matter how big a material discussion was, it could only be a material discussion.Under the iron-blooded power, no matter how big the material argument is, it is just a piece of paper that can be broken with a poke.

Even though Buddhists in several major state capitals raised armies with the intention of establishing an earthly Buddhist kingdom, under the encirclement and suppression by hundreds of thousands of troops from the imperial court, they could only fall apart, and the remaining forces scattered into the darkness, silently licking their wounds.

Buddhism, which had been prosperous for [-] years, was completely wiped out by Emperor Yongzheng's sudden attack.

Subsequently, during the 51 years that Emperor Yongzheng was in power, the Buddhist power was in the lowest state. Not without Buddhists trying to revive, a comet struck the moon, and regicide was carried out in the Ming Dynasty Palace.

Unfortunately, when more than a dozen Arahant-level martial arts masters rushed into the Daming Palace, they were faced with a ruthless harvest of divine arrows.

This also lets the world know that although the imperial power is supreme and the body of an immortal has unlimited physical strength in theory, it does not mean that he will not be injured or killed.

After all, in a world of golden edicts, although there are experts who can live forever for thousands of years and can defeat thousands of armies, in the final analysis, the imperial power is supreme. A word can demote the gods of incense and gods, and a decree can also confer saints and gods. .

…………

Among the 12 world lines and timelines, each interprets the glory of Buddhism and Shinto. The two collide endlessly and stretch to the end of the river of time.

On the one hand, the luck of the Shinto and the Qi of the Son of Heaven are combined, and on the other hand, it is to carry the boundless Dharma of Buddhism!

The battle between the two parties is either to use the divine way to dominate the world, to be the emperor of ten thousand chariots, or to use the Buddha's Dharma to save countless sentient beings, to open up a Buddhist kingdom on earth with the Buddha's Dharma, and to practice the only way to be respected.

The river of time has no beginning and no end. This Saint Emperor Qiren of Mount Tai of Dongyue stands on the river, indifferently watching the changes of hundreds of millions of fortunes in the river of time.

Wow!La!La!Every time the river of time stirs up thousands of waves, the destiny of each world comes to an end.The Holy Emperor Tian Qiren of Dongyue Taishan stepped on the churning boundless river with the body of an immeasurable giant god, letting the water of time wash away his divine body.
