Mohist Tang

“The western kingdom that once created Socrates, Plato and other generations of wise men, divided into two, and the western kingdom quickly perished, splitting into a group of small nations. There are constant battles between countries, and Christianity takes this opportunity to develop and grow. Almost all the people of the West West are Christians, even the king is no exception.”

“Christianity has its own The pope established a special papal state and built countless churches between countries. It required the people to dedicate everything to God to go to heaven after death. Whenever a king is enthroned, he must go through the Popes baptism. The powerful king disobeys the pope. The pope gives an order, and other countries will gather coalition forces until they are defeated.”

Every time Mo Dun said, Li Shimin’s face became gloomy. Theocratic power is above the imperial power, then he is absolutely unacceptable.

“Arab Empire is a more special form, where politics and religion are integrated, and they are called caliphs by religious leaders. They are both religious leaders and political leaders. All their fighters believe in the religion , Extremely loyal and fanatical fierce and unafraid of death, are now constantly embezzling Persia. This small official can guarantee that Persia will not be able to withstand the attack of these berserkers. Persia will be subjugated within 20 years, and the Pyramid nation is also adjacent to Arab Empire, Im afraid its inevitable, Arab Empire will become my Great Tangs most powerful enemy in the Western Regions, and its extremely dangerous.”

“Politics and religion are one, with believers as soldiers!” Li Shimin Shen He took a deep breath. He was no stranger to this model. Many uprisings in the Chinese dynasty were in the name of religion. Among them, Zhang Jiaos Yellow Turban Army uprising was one of them. The only difference was that Zhang Jiao was defeated. .

Mo Dun once again took a deep breath and said: “India, where the Buddhist school is most prevalent, is more worthy of reference and reflection.”

Li Shimin immediately sat in danger, if it is the east The Kingdom of the West and the Arab Empire are a bit far from Great Tang, and India, which also believes in Buddhism and is adjacent to it, made him have to pay attention.

“As early as Qin Shihuang ruled China, the era of unification also appeared in India. The Peacock King dynasty, its territory and population are not inferior to those of Great Rome, but since the death of Peacock King dynasty After 800 years have passed, India is still a small country that stands in great numbers and continues to fight. Once a strong external force invades, India will be a piece of loose sand that can be slaughtered.”

“Small country stand in great numbers Li Shimin couldn’t help being stunned. You must know that after Qin died, China has experienced generations of dynasties, even if the world was divided, no matter which emperor he was, all dreamed of unifying the world, and India has not been unified for 800 years. In his opinion, this is simply incredible.

Isn’t there an emperor with great ambitions in India? Obviously it is impossible. I am afraid that among them, the Buddhist prohibition of killing, being compassionate and opposing war play an important role not to be underestimated.

“That is to say, in this world where civilization originated, the divine power has shrouded 40% of the third, and only China, China, survived.” Mo Dun said with a bitter smile.

Li Shimins face is particularly solemn at this moment. Until now, everyone believes that China is the center of the world, and other places are barbarians. However, since the rise of the Mohist Family, one by one from the extreme west The foreign domain that came from China has continuously changed the lives of the people of Great Tang, and everyone realized that in addition to the Chinese civilization, there are three ancient countries in this world that are not inferior to the Chinese civilization, as well as the bright rising star Roman Greek civilization.

However, the news from Mo Dun is more and more bad news. These civilized countries have all been shrouded by theocracy.

Until this moment, Li Shimin really realized the cruelty of the struggle between theocracy and the kingship. The reason why the two martial arts succeeded in destroying the Buddha was because the monks and nuns only accounted for 10% of the societys population. People occupy the majority, coupled with the influence of unification and Hundred Schools of Thought culture.

However, if there were no two wars to exterminate the Buddha, the Buddhist school would develop smoothly from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Great Tang. I am afraid that its scale would be several times that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The consequences would make Li Shimin shudder.

For Mo Duns words, Li Shimin is not at all skeptical. Mo Dun is arguably the person who knows the Western Regions best, except for the Mohist Family sages who have traveled all over the West in the West, and he wrote Mozis secret book In addition, in the past two years, there have been continuously foreign Merchants who have provided countless information to the Mohist Family. It is not difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Li Shimin’s eyes flashed suddenly: “I heard that you highly admire the Mohist Family in a foreign land. I want to know how the Mohist Family in the East Pole West is now?”

A trace of sorrow flashed across Mo Duns face: The Mohist Family advocates the truth and solves the unsolved mystery. This is absolutely not allowed in the western country. If we are in the east-west country, even Your Majesty will come forward. Li Baowei’s Small Official this small official cannot escape being burnt.”

“Fire!” Li Shimin grew his mouth wide in disbelief.

Mo Dun nodded and said: “When the sages of the Mohist Family traveled in the Western Regions, they met a sage of the Mohist Family named Copernicus. He believed that the land we are in is not a universe The center of the universe, and the sun is the center of the universe. Only this point of view was buried in his heart. He was not reconciled to the loss of his doctrine until he died, and then he announced it.”

Li Shimin said in amazement. : “I dare not even publish the doctrine.”

“I, Great Tang, did not convict by words, but Copernicus did not even dare to publish the doctrine. What is the situation of the Mohist Family?” Mo Dun said .

“Does it mean that you will be burned for saying the wrong thing?” Li Shimin smacked.

Mo Dun nodded: “Later, his disciple Bruno firmly believed in the theory of the Sun Center and persuaded countries to promote their ideas. Finally, he was tied to the stake by the Holy See and burned alive.”

“It’s really torture!” Li Shimin said in shock.

Until this time, Li Shimin knew why even he could not keep Mo Dun. Mo Dun cracked the Day of Heavenly Dog Feast, boarded a hot air balloon and soared into the clouds, and used Telescope to peer at the moon, maybe which one There is no escape.

Li Shimin couldnt help but regret: “Is it worth it? For a doctrine that doesnt know whether its true or false.”

“Its worth it, of course its worth it! The most precious thing in this world is truth, Mohist Familys Existence is to solve the unsolved mystery and find the truth in this world.” Mo Dun firmly said.

Li Shimin then remembered that there was another Mohist Family Son in front of him, and couldn’t help but glance at Mo Dun with a complicated look.

“In fact, it is more than the Mohist Family. According to the latest news, the previous pope has already put the largest library in Rome to the torch. The school must teach theology. This is undoubtedly the burning of books.”

Li Shimin couldn’t help but glance at Mo Dun sympathetically. In the Qin Dynasty, he burned books and confessed scholars, but in a foreign country it was burning books and ink. No, it was burning books and ink!

“Apart from this, Arab Empire women must mask their faces with black veil every day, so that they can only show their eyes, and their appearance can only be seen by their husbands.”

Li Shimin couldn’t help but be astonished. , Thinking of the more and more bold dressing in his harem, he did not at all have anything, even in his harem, the most beautiful and alluring Zheng Chonghua, he never had the idea of letting his veil cover his face.

“In India, people are divided into four types. Intermarriage between various sexes is not allowed. Mohist Family Son like this small official also divides the fourth and lowest craftsman, where can they marry To the second-level princess.” Mo Dun grieved.

Li Shimin hearing this stared at Mo Dun bitterly. Suddenly, there was an idea that he strongly agreed with the caste system. In this way, Mo Dun would not dare to beat his baby princess.

“Wait, the princess is only at the second level, who is the first level?” Li Shimin frowns saying.

“Of course it is a monk.” Mo Dun replied.

Suddenly Li Shimin no longer has the idea of implementing the caste system. How can he tolerate a greater power in his head?

“This is the information that the Mohist Family has about all civilized nations in this world. Please also Your Majesty to make a choice.” Mo Dun finished speaking, and said nothing.

Suddenly the whole palace fell into a deadly silence. After a long time, Li Shimin sighed and said: “Nowadays the Buddhists are not suffering from Great Tang. It is absolutely impossible to destroy the Buddha. Let you save the Buddha!

“Your Majesty is wise! In this way, the best of both worlds, Buddhism and Great Tang are both beneficial. “Mo Dun heaved a sigh of relief. In this way, it will eliminate the troubles of Buddhism without drastic means.

“Tomorrow, you will go to Zhengji Temple with full authority on behalf of me and the Imperial Court. Discuss matters of Buddhism. “Li Shimin’s words suddenly changed.

“Me! “

Mo Dun hearing this couldn’t help widening his eyes, and pointed to himself in disbelief.

“Why, you didn’t talk about saving the Buddha in the Imperial Court. Now is the opportunity. Besides, you once helped Daoist School solve the internal troubles. Why not help the Buddhist school again? “Li Shimin stared at Mo Dun.

“This small official takes the command! “

Mo Dun mouth opened wide, helplessly nodded to take the order, he found that Li Shimin was always a bit unwilling to not cheat him. Although his strategy to save Buddha was feasible, it definitely violated Buddhism. Interests, this time he has completely offended the Buddhist school.
