"Okay."

This time, without waiting for the ministers to praise him, Zhao Ji first praised loudly.

He saw the deeper purpose of the Hejian Mansion army's involvement in this matter, that is, to prevent Zhao Gonglian from seeing through the court's plan and blatantly colluding with the monks to rebel.

With heavy troops to deter Zhao Gonglian, Cangbei is facing the danger of the Liao army going south at any time, Zhao Gonglian, who is extremely hated by the Liao army, and the pirates have a series of unforgettable enmities such as killing their parents and respecting their wives, and they can't defect to the pirates.

With Zhao Gonglian's proud personality and the Cangzhao family's tradition of revenge, he will never forgive his enemies, pirates, and go to allegiance instead of revenge.

The remaining Zhao Zhuang people have a hatred for pirates, and they will never allow the owner of the village, Zhao Gonglian, to try to lead them to surrender to the enemy and survive for a while.

It was a group of Zhuanghu militia who were not afraid of death to defend their homes and relatives, and the loyal and righteous Zhao family originated from this, and the unity and courage of Zhaozhuang also originated from this. This is already a trait that has been tested repeatedly by time and danger and proven to be understood by people all over the world. Such a person will not be in the company of life and death enemies, including Liaokou and pirates.

Taking a step back, even if they were willing to compromise with Zhao Gonglian and want to defect overseas, the pirates would never dare to accept Zhao Gonglian, a strong mortal enemy, to join.

Zhao Gonglian's meritocracy has been spread all over the world for a long time, so that careerists all over the world want to recruit him to become a great cause, but it is his amazing ability and power that makes the kings and careerists all over the world deeply jealous, not to mention that he has a mortal enmity with Cangzhao, that is, there is no grudge or grudge, who dares to accept it easily and reuse?

With such a strong man as his subordinate, as long as he has a slight respite, a firm foothold in the new group and some power, it will become a trouble or even the biggest threat in the blink of an eye.

Who could be more talented and virtuous and famous than him in governing the country and the army? Who can hold him down?

Who dares to guarantee that such a strong person will be willing to live under others for a long time and listen to the arbitrary support of others without rebelling against his will and usurping power?

Once he wants to usurp power and seize power, who can stop him?

He was a visionary, an incredible man of incredible knowledge, and the best at doing miracles. You shouldn't be too surprised at what kind of miracles he can perform.

Only the Great Song Dynasty, which occupies the orthodox righteousness and general trend, and naturally owns and controls the foundation of Cangzhao, can use Zhao Gonglian, and after Zhao Gonglian's prestige is becoming more and more powerful, he has to steadily attack and suppress it, encroach on the whale swallow, and try his best to weaken the power and influence of the Cangzhao family before he dares to continue to reuse.

Zhao Ji influenced and won over Zhao Gonglian, who was still young and simple-blooded at that time, with grace and affection, and successfully used Zhao Gonglian and enjoyed the vicissitudes of Zhao for so many years. Now there is a bit of a falling out, the feelings accumulated in the past are light, and it is not so smart and sure to use Zhao Gonglian again, even if Zhao Gonglian is still loyal to the court, in fact, he is still working for the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji has a thorn in his heart, and he also regards Zhao Gonglian as the biggest threat.

Zhao Gonglian is too outstanding and capable, but there is no way out.

In particular, he can only survive in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, either rebelling like other rebels, or being loyal to the Great Song Dynasty with no other way out.

And Tong Guan's strategy happened to further control Zhao Gonglian, and he couldn't rebel. In this way, all possible hidden dangers are blocked. Zhao Gonglian has to work hard if he doesn't do it.

Subsequently, Xiang Gao Yu and other powerful ministers actively expressed their opinions, and further elaborated measures to destroy the Buddha and use Zhao Gonglian to carry the black cauldron.

None of the civil and military ministers present did not want to take the opportunity to step on Zhao Gonglian, who had been incompetent for too long, and also flattered and satisfied the emperor.

The monarch and the ministers conspired for a long time, and finally discussed it properly, and felt that everything was fine.

Good. That's it.

That night, Zhao Ji couldn't wait to make several decrees, and strictly ordered the relevant departments in Beijing to closely cooperate and make careful arrangements, notify the local governments that need to participate in the destruction of Buddhism from far and near, and strive for the whole country to receive orders almost at the same time, to prevent the nearby prefects from leaking secrets, and quickly only secretly ordered the governors of the prefectures in various places, so that the governors themselves can plan to prepare for the action first, so that the accountability is clear, which accident is the prefect himself who has a problem, so as to further strengthen secrecy and be able to do it together.

After receiving the order, the local governors learned about the shocking events of the Great Xiangguo Temple from the news from the capital or from the angel of the decree, and they were not surprised by the will to destroy the Buddha.

Daxiangguo Temple dared to conspire against the emperor, and Buddhism dared to collude to calculate the Great Song Dynasty, how could the emperor and the imperial court spare the Buddhism and read its so-called compassionate image and ignore it?

If the felonies of assassination and rebellion can be forgiven, then the emperor deserves to sit in that position? What authority does the imperial court have to speak of? Is the state still the state?

Buddhism touched the ruler's most sensitive bottom line this time, and it was self-defeating. No one can save them.

In fact, the unbearable status quo of the Great Song Dynasty is the most ideal social environment for the destruction of Buddhism, which guarantees the possibility of destroying Buddhism in one fell swoop.

If the Buddha is destroyed before the national disaster in the summer harvest season, not to mention that too many good men and women in the world can't accept the violent and murderous means of destroying the Buddha by the imperial court, and put aside other unfavorable factors, only those local governors who have a bottom line of conscience and pay attention to some human and official ethics will be sympathetic to Buddhism, or make friends with some senior monks, and even have an unusual relationship with local Buddhism and monks, mutual appreciation and praise, too close, very close, very thick friendship, the relationship is closer than brothers, can't bear to be innocently killed by friends and fear that they will be implicated, In order to gain fame at this time, in order to leave a name in history, or to fear the superstition of gods and Buddhas, and feel that helping Buddhism will be favored by gods and Buddhas, etc., it is inevitable that they will not hesitate to take risks and write a book to vigorously oppose the court so indiscriminately and generalize to question all temple monks, procrastinate and disobey the will, and even simply engage in private ventilation and reporting in advance, so that monks, especially friends, have a preparation in advance, and it is best to flee quickly to avoid the edge of this disaster.

That's the end of it.

There is no need for too much, as long as there are three or five great temples or high-ranking monks with a high reputation who have been believed in advance, then the entire world of Buddhism will quickly know and be prepared, I am afraid that there is no need to urgently mobilize the entire Buddhism to quickly arm themselves to defend their faith and power by force, only to say that the will of the gods and Buddhas is to say things, declaring that destroying the Buddha is the greatest evil against God, angering the gods and Buddhas, the worst retribution, down to the eighteen layers of hell, reincarnation for the way of animals or something, on the contrary, those who maintain the Buddhas can naturally get the greatest blessings, It is even enough to simply say that the current imperial court is a demonic way that harms the people, and that the will of heaven wants it to perish, and it is enough to incite hundreds of people who blindly obey the people to rise up against the imperial court.

As a foreign religion, Buddhism can step on the local Taoism with a crushing advantage, an important reason is that it closely penetrates the ruling class, and the monks pay great attention to making friends with high-ranking officials and nobles, forming deep personal friendships, and taking care of each other, rather than always engaging in mysteries and secrets like those signature figures of Taoism, seeking to be at ease and even despising the court and the powerful.

For example, Zhang Sanfeng, one of the most famous historical figures in Taoism, in order to avoid the appreciation of the imperial court and repeatedly pursue rewards, pretended to be crazy and stupid, and his whereabouts became a mystery......

As for Buddhism, there are too many famous ministers and monks who are close to each other, which is fashionable and decent, and intentionally or unintentionally makes many good stories, which complement each other and even leave their names in history.

For example, the legend of the famous Su Dongpo and the Buddhist monk.

There are inextricable links between the top and the dignitaries, and there is the will of the people, and the people's base, how can such a sect be destroyed.

In later generations, there was a saying that corruption is a powerful driving force for stimulating consumption and promoting high-speed economic development. Similar to this theory, Buddhism flourished because of the hierarchy. Of course, there are reasons for this, but the main reason is that Buddhist theory caters to the psychological needs of the people, has a foundation among the people, and forms a social atmosphere. The kind, ignorant and superstitious people tightened their belts and fed themselves in the absence of the imperial court's enlightenment and ideological guidance, and the people who blindly obeyed the people in power despised it, but it was the greatest force that blindly accustomed to Buddhism. On the other hand, the Buddhism of Niu B further influenced and promoted the social atmosphere, making the interaction between the Buddha and the monks a fashionable and decent thing that conforms to the image of interests, which attracted the attention of the people in power who are not bad for money, and they have come up to get close to and support the Buddhism, and benefit from each other, and the Buddhism has become even better.

And now, the good people and the officials with good conduct have almost all been swept away and gone overseas, the remaining people of the Great Song Dynasty are few good-natured, almost all the officials around the country are some cannibalistic tigers and wolves, the local army is a group of bandits in military uniforms, the whole social group only cares about their own interests, no matter what good and evil, good and evil, for their own benefit is not enough to be busy, who has the time to worry about the monks who live a very leisurely life of immortals.

In this way, the foundation of the people of Buddhism in the Great Song Dynasty is virtually gone, and demagogy and incitement are not so good. And the prefects of the prefecture who have obtained the secret decree of the imperial court, if they have a little brain, see clearly the determination and ruthlessness of the emperor and the imperial court to destroy the Buddha, it is not a good thing, and how can they take the risk of killing their own heads to help the monks.

The son is silent, and the strange force is confused.

As a disciple of Confucianism, the official has to believe in the instructions of the sages of Confucius, and stay away from the gods and ghosts. Especially when there is no profit but a big danger, you have to stay away.

When bad people do things and lack virtues, how can they really fear ghosts, gods, and Buddhas? Otherwise, he would not dare to do evil with all his intentions.

It is politically correct to follow the will of the imperial court to exterminate Buddhism, it is for the country's righteousness, it is for the official duty, and it can ensure that the official career has money and real profits, so why should you go against the imperial court? Why do you send a message to the Buddha Gate?

As for the fact that it was related to the lawlessness of Buddhism in the past, and it had colluded with local temples to encroach on the interests of the people and benefited from it, this is nothing, and it is possible to eliminate these criminal evidence in the extermination operation, and it will not be in a disaster. Anyway, Lao Tzu is presiding over this matter, everything is under the control of the official, and there are leaks that can be covered and wiped out.

As a result, the local governors were unanimous in supporting the imperial court's plan to destroy Buddhism.

As for relying on the participating armies, that's even less of a problem.

An army composed of ruffians, gangsters, and powerful minions is a bandit, disrespecting ghosts and gods, and killing monks is advantageous, so they don't mind destroying temples to deal with Buddhism. As long as the benefits are great enough, these newly formed local armies will be the most determined and active forces to exterminate Buddhism, and their combat effectiveness will be much stronger than that of the previous chaotic soldiers.

They are all accustomed to committing murder and fighting,

can already fight and dare to kill, and if you put on the skin of officers and soldiers, and follow the will of the imperial court, you can still make meritorious contributions and get benefits if you commit murder legally, and there is nothing you dare not do.

Objectively,

These recruits and villains in the earth-shattering immigration frenzy at that time in order to save their lives, but also in the time when the official tried to seal the official wish and promise to actively and passively into the army as officers and soldiers, and had to be honestly stabbed with a special military seal to facilitate the defection of the pirate officers and soldiers to make a difference, friend and foe are clearly easy to fight, but after the disaster, without the pressure of life, these soldiers are not easy to control, comfortable and accustomed, first of all, they can not be constrained by the army, in the past, they were vegetable tyrants, dock fish tyrants and other market tyrants, leisurely and majestic and oily, Many officials privately praised these wicked people who bully and dominate the market as a person, who can do things usefully, and can even be called a hero of the people...... The Forces nouvelles are in turmoil, and it's hard to say what will happen.

These soldiers are holding back the evil fire and fierce thoughts they have cultivated in the past, and they can't vent their anger on the people in the vicinity by just making small fights, and they just need to find an outlet to wantonly commit murder, and only by letting these people get the sweetness and taste the benefits of being officers and soldiers in time can they appease the morale of the army and slowly form a relatively stable and serious army that can be used by the government.

In this way, it can be used to deal with Buddhism, and it can also be used to temper the morale of the army by using this actual battle.

As a result, the hard conditions for destroying the Buddha in all aspects are fully met. At the time agreed by the imperial court, the whole country started a campaign to encircle and suppress Buddhism, and it went well.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Wulang Shi doctor had no tricks to deal with anti-thieves like Tian Hu and Wang Qing, and he played tricks and made a fierce move, cleaned up the days of the gods, escaped from the world in the comfortable temple in the secluded place of Lingshan, got rid of the worldly troubles, and was busy reciting the Buddha leisurely.

On the day of the operation, the local governor summoned several commanders of the trustworthy army, showed the holy decree in the secret room, pointed out the seriousness of the matter and the benefits of doing a good job, first mobilized the enthusiasm and murderous desire of these military commanders, and then told the generals the strategy that they had repeatedly thought about on their own, and the generals naturally responded positively and responded with a bang.

The troops participating in the battle pulled out of the barracks in full armor, and it was not until they urgently arrived at the target of the attack that they knew that they were going to encircle and suppress the monks and destroy the Buddha.
