Please enter the text The giant wheel of history rolls forward, the former small sapling has gradually grown into a towering tree, nothing can resist him, but will only be crushed as it continues to grow.

Therefore, since Yuwentai reform for decades, the powerful Longyou military group finally unified the world, but it is a pity that when the world is finally ended, the leader of the Longyou military group has already changed hands, and the rights and status of the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty royal family have all been seized by Yang Jian, a relative, and even the Yuwen clan, the blood relative of Yuwentai, has been wiped out.

After the death of Yuwentai, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was originally in a corner of peace, went through a series of extremely complex social systems, and it was precisely because of this series of extremely complex changes that the Northern Zhou Dynasty finally gained the strong strength to defeat its old rival, the Northern Qi Dynasty, but also pushed the imperial Yuwen clan to the edge of the cliff.

After the death of Yuwentai, there was a power vacuum at the top of the Guanlong military group that he founded, which also gave Yuwentai's hidden enemy in this group an excellent opportunity, the reigning Western Wei emperor was unwilling to be subject to the control of the Guanlong military group, so he also began to make a small move, at such a Guan Jian moment, Yuwentai's nephew Yuwentai, who actually inherited most of Yuwentai's power, was in danger and calmly dealt with it, so that the Yuwen clan turned the danger into a safe place.

Subsequently, in order to cut off future troubles, Yuwen Hu abolished and killed the reigning Western Wei Emperor, and instead supported Yuwentai's eldest son Yuwen Jue as the emperor, destroyed the Western Wei Dynasty, and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This move made the Yuwen clan replace the Western Wei Tuoba clan and become a high-ranking royal family - but because of this, the hidden danger of civil strife in the Yuwen clan was laid.

Because Yuwen Hu was in power, he was gradually dissatisfied and suspicious of Emperor Yuwen Jue, so that later, His Majesty the Emperor decided to strike first and conspire with his cronies and the general Dugu Xin and others to get rid of Yuwen Hu! I didn't expect the matter to be revealed. Yuwen Hu launched a resolute counterattack under the rage, the general Dugu Xin was given to death, and the emperor Yuwen Jue was also deposed first and then poisoned!

Yuwen Hu then set up Yu Wentai's eldest son Yu Wen Yu as the emperor, Yu Wen Yu's character is pure and tolerant, and he was very famous at the time, after he succeeded to the throne, he made great efforts, his political achievements were remarkable, and, for a time, he also had a very harmonious relationship with Yu Wen Hu and other powerful ministers. However, because of Yuwen Jue's incident, Yuwen Hu, who had a heart disease, finally listened to the villain's provocation and impulsively poisoned Yuwen Yu to death, it is said that when Yu Wen Yu was poisoned and died, Yu Wen Hu, who woke up, was extremely remorseful!

And according to Yuwenyu's last words, Yuwenhu finally established Yuwentai's youngest son Yuwenyong as the emperor!

According to Yuwenwu's life, although this person is extremely powerful and domineering, he really did not think of replacing the position of his uncle Yuwentai's sons, and it is no wonder that he once justified himself: I am studying Zhou Gong to assist the king. However, Yu Wenyu was thirty years old and could not govern, so that he was ridiculed by the minister: how could Zhou Gongfu be assisted by the king until he was thirty years old. And because of his greed for power, he poisoned Yuwenjue and Yuwenyu brothers successively, and finally brought death to Yuwenhu in the future.

Yuwentai's sons are really wise and martial, one by one, one by one, after twelve years on the throne, Yuwen Yong, who had been forbearance for a long time, finally killed Yuwen Hu himself in the best time he found......

Yuwen Yong is Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and this wise monarch has mainly done three major things in his life. The first was to kill Yuwenhu, the second was to destroy Buddhism, and third, to destroy the old enemy Northern Qi Dynasty with the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty after the destruction of Buddhism, thus unifying the north.

The unification of the north is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of Yu Wenyong's life. Because it laid the foundation for the subsequent Sui Dynasty to unify the world, however, the unification of the north was done by Cao Cao, Shi Le, Fu Jian and Tuoba Shou also did, so if you really want to talk about it, Yuwen Yong's achievement of unifying the north is actually not unusual, but the second thing he did, destroying Buddha, had an extraordinary and huge impact on later generations.

It is important to know that the time when Buddhism was introduced into China has long been verifiable, but it is undeniable that when Buddhism was introduced to China and by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism, a foreign religion, had begun to flourish, and many people began to believe in Buddhism, and Buddhism also had a powerful force that could not be underestimated in that troubled era.

It is true that the inner ideology and belief pursued by Buddhists have very little material needs in the world, however, in those turbulent years, there was a powerful force that was not underestimated, which doomed the original Buddhism to remain a spectator forever in the fierce and intricate struggle of Middle-earth, and it was these Buddhisms that were intentionally or unintentionally involved in the troubled struggles, so that Buddhism was rapidly strengthened by the momentum, and at the same time, it also added countless historical stains that are difficult to wash.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the then Buddhist leader Zhen Rong led tens of thousands of fanatical believers all the way south to avoid the war, it is said that it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and it should not be criticized by the world's public opinion, but the problem is that the team of Zhen Rong burned and looted everywhere they went, and the damage caused to the place was not inferior to the most vicious robbers!

Zhen Rong first used his identity as a Buddhist leader to gain the trust of Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling, and then killed him unprepared, ransacked Guangling, and then used the same method to kill Xue Li of Moling, and Zhu Hao of Yuzhang County seized their belongings and replaced their positions!

In the end, what Zhen Rong did finally aroused the public anger under the rule of Liu Yao, who was entrenched in the south at that time, Liu Yao gathered an army to attack Zhen Rong and defeated him, and Zhen Rong was finally killed by the indigenous people of the south Shan Yue on the way to flee alone!

During the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, the Later Zhao regime in the north tried its best to support foreign Buddhism to fight against it in order to suppress the local Chinese culture, and Shi Le also gave up, mainly using the theory of Buddhist nihilism to impact the Huayi debate in Han culture, and justified his own foreign origin, but when Shi Hu killed Shi Le's descendants, he replaced him. Buddhism acted for the tiger and became the vanguard of Shi Hu's vain attempt to destroy the Chinese Han civilization.

It is rumored that Shi Hu has been around a monk from Tianzhu for a long time, and it is at the instigation of this monk that in order to cut off the inheritance of Chinese civilization, Shi Hu deliberately carried out an obscure and cruel population extermination policy against the Chinese nation! And this policy. It lasted until the fall of the Shihu regime.

Buddhism, which claims to save the world, is so ruthless in that turbulent era, and therefore, it will naturally lead to the desperate suppression of Chinese civilizations, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong is not the first person to destroy Buddha, the Northern Wei Dynasty before him, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Shou is the person who eats crabs, and the Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Shou in the destruction of Buddha to the mainstay of the local culture of Taoism and Confucianism strongly supported, so the intensity of his policy of exterminating Buddhism is fierce. It's a posture of uprooting Buddhism! It's just a pity that the wrist of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Shou is really iron-blooded and ruthless, but the ideas of Buddhism have long been rooted in the land of China, and the ruling class of the Northern Wei Dynasty is the same as the Later Zhao regime in the era of Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms is a barbarian nomadic people born in the frontier desert, so it is also closer to Buddhism as a foreign religion than the Later Zhao regime, so in the face of the order from the Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Shou, many nobles of the Xianbei ruling class of the Northern Wei Dynasty have disobeyed the order of the Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Shou. Not only did he try his best to protect the Buddhists who were being hunted down, but he also secretly planned a counterattack. Attacking Confucianism, which already had great rank and strength in the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time, caused the main Confucian forces that destroyed Buddhism to also suffer heavy losses, the leader Cui Hao died tragically, and his family was also wiped out!

The destruction of Buddhism ended with the defeat of both Buddhism and the native civilization of Middle-earth, and after this battle, both Buddhism and the native Chinese civilization were defeated. Both sides are equally aware of the other's inability to deal with, since they can no longer give each other a fatal blow in a short period of time and make the other party disappear, then turning enemies into friends as much as possible has become a choice that the inheritance of civilization on both sides has to put on the table.

After all. There are never eternal enemies in this world, and there are no eternal friends, only interests can be eternal! And the local civilization factions in China that have experienced war and cannibalism have long since lost their sharpness because of the great injury to their vitality, which is an important reason why the Demon Gate can be condensed and formed later, and it is also an important reason why Confucianism from high arrogance can finally tolerate the Demon Gate.

So, since all sides have actually changed their tactics of continuing the struggle, from the initial life-and-death strategy to reaching a compromise in secret, then Buddhism, after giving him a profound education, can only be dealt with in this way!

So, nearly a hundred years after the death of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty collapsed and the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou Dynasty subsequently rose.

At this time, the social situation has been very different from the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, after the Sinicization reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Confucianism of the local culture of China has ushered in another great revival, but the development of Buddhism can not be underestimated, in particular, the 28th generation of the Buddha Bodhidharma Zen Master of a generation of Buddhism crossed to the north, which greatly enriched the connotation of Buddhism in the expansion of the Chinese land in China, so that the influence of Buddhism in the Middle Earth has almost reached a comprehensive glorious period! Of course, under the extreme prosperity there is also a hidden danger of destruction, Bodhidharma Zen Master first crossed to China in the east, is first with the southern Liang Dynasty Liang Wu Emperor Xiao Yan under the rule of the southern Buddhist faction had a serious conflict, and then had to cross the river with a reed, to the north under the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty to create a line of Shaolin Zen Buddhism. Buddhism, which was at its peak in the south, dared to expel Buddhist saints, which shows the fierce struggle between Buddhist factions at that time, and the spread of Buddhism in the north, which has been in turmoil for 300 years, is not lower than that in the south.

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Hu worshipped Buddhism, and even the country was finally thrown into chaos, and later the Empress Dowager Hu and other princes and nobles were mostly killed by a generation of heroes Zhu Rong, but the power of Buddhism did not decline with the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but on the contrary, because the more troubled the times, the more the troubled people at the bottom pursued false illusions of happiness, and Buddhism is precisely an excellent spiritual opium that can satisfy such false illusions. Therefore, when the Northern Wei Dynasty fell into war in the last years, it was divided into two and replaced by the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty respectively, the power of Buddhism became more and more expanded, and only the Northern Zhou Dynasty was located in a barren land, for example, Buddhism had already occupied more than one-tenth of the country's land and population, not to mention. The wealth and prosperity are several times that of the Northern Qi and the Southern Six Dynasties of the Northern Zhou Dynasty! Moreover, most of the land and population of the country that Buddhism has encroached upon are fertile land and the young and strong labor force that the country urgently lacks, as if it has become a huge social cancer!

So after the Northern Wei Dynasty was too invincible Tuoba Shou to destroy the Buddha for the first time, the second destruction of the Buddha by Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, was born under such a social status quo!

It is worth noting that Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, not because Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty was deliberately bewitched by Confucianism and Taoism to destroy Buddhist culture, but simply because Buddhism was powerful, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty wanted to weaken the power of Buddhism. To supplement the lack of national finance and young and strong labor, therefore, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty's action of destroying Buddhism will naturally not be the same as his predecessor Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Shou of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in fact, although during the period of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroying Buddhism, in order to be able to crack down on the power of Buddhism to the greatest extent, Yuwen Yong's attitude towards Buddhism has always been to burn Buddhist scriptures. Buddhist monasteries are confiscated and devout Buddhists are treated. Although Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty forced them to return home, however, this wise monarch did not kill any monks and nuns, so the lie that the monks and nuns later spread rumors and slandered Emperor Wu to go to the eighteenth layer of hell after his death is completely a naked slander against this king!

-- It is said that when the Zen Master Mo crossed east and arrived in the Southern Dynasty. Shocked by the prosperity of Buddhism in the Southern Dynasties at that time, he praised that he had never seen Buddhism in such a situation, but when he met with Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, who had always worshiped Buddhism, he finally found that this extremely devout emperor did not understand the true meaning of Buddhism, so much so that when Emperor Wu of Liang asked Zen Master Bodhidharma how much merit he had accumulated by doing countless rituals. Zen Master Bodhidharma's answer was extremely disappointing to him: there is no merit! , and the Zen master was also disappointed by Emperor Wu of Liang, and resolutely left the Southern Dynasty to enter the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty......

Bodhidharma Zen Master said that Emperor Liang Wu did good deeds do not accumulate merit, and good fortune is only in this life, and later, Emperor Liang Wudi's life really verified the words of the Zen master: Emperor Liang Wu died at the age of eighty-six, and enjoyed the country for a total of forty-eight years, such a time, even in the imperial history of the entire Chinese Dynasty is rare, let alone in the turbulent late Han Dynasty - the troubled era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, however, it is such a king, his later years are particularly unfortunate, Emperor Wu of Liang in his later years, The power struggle in the court of Southern Liang became more and more undercurrent, and the relatives of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu and even his children and grandchildren were all looking forward to this "old immortal" dying as soon as possible, so as to inherit the throne left by him after his death, and all of this made this wise and benevolent emperor among the six dynasties of the Southern Dynasty extremely sad, so that he was even so disheartened that he wanted to become a monk for a while!

Emperor Wu of Liang later caused the Houjing Rebellion because he accepted the rebel general Hou Jing'er of the Northern Dynasty, and finally starved to death because of his capture, and the once powerful Southern Liang Dynasty he founded also disappeared because of Hou Jing's rebellion and the fierce internal strife within the Southern Liang, and was replaced by the Southern Chen established by Chen Baxian......

Even if Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty really accumulated bad karma by burning Buddhist scriptures and destroying Buddha statues, then his country will perish because of this, and his family will be cut off because of this, and he will already repay the sins of destroying the Buddha, so how can there be suffering in the eighteen layers of hell? The hypocrisy and arrogance contained in Buddhist discourse can be seen from this!

Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, although he did not kill the monks, but the huge loss of Buddhism is an indisputable fact, and the Buddhist sect that was preserved the most in this movement to destroy the Buddha is the Zen Buddhism founded by the Bodhidharma Zen Master back then! This is because the practice concept of Zen Buddhism has always been self-reliant, so it has been the least affected in this campaign to destroy the Buddha industry, and it is precisely because the various ideas of Zen Buddhism are very different from the ideas of the previous Buddhist tradition, so that after a large number of sand general Buddha extermination movements, the Buddhist sects that have been able to continue to develop led by the surviving Zen sects have been very different from the previous Buddhism!

Therefore, in a sense, the destruction of Buddha by Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, can actually be regarded as the final demarcation of foreign Buddhism to be localized. Since then, although Buddhism has still been able to overpower the native religions of China, Buddhism after that will no longer be regarded as a foreign civilization by the natives!

With the great wealth obtained by hard work and looting Buddhism, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong was able to launch a continuous and powerful offensive against the old enemy Northern Qi Dynasty, and finally destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, and after the elimination of the old enemy Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty continued to implement the policy of exterminating Buddha in the territory of the former Northern Qi Dynasty, in order to accumulate wealth, for the south to eliminate the last secession force that hindered the unification of the world: the Chen Dynasty in the south, but unfortunately, soon Yuwen Yong fell seriously ill and passed away soon, His throne was passed to his brutal and incompetent son, Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the cause of unifying the world was to be completed in the hands of another great monarch, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian! (To be continued.) )

PS: I personally have a setting about the Brilliant Sword of Kings:

The king chosen by this sword will receive God's blessing and bear the sins of the world as a result!

The first master of the king's sword: Saul: The sin of the burden: laziness
