Chapter 206: Purpose

Hearing the advice of the original essence, Yun Xi suddenly felt normal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yes, the reason why Yun Xi felt that it was not normal before was that no one advised him because he went to meet so many monks and Taoists.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so awesome back then, and the ministers tirelessly advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to get close to the monk, not to mention that he was the emperor who had just succeeded to the throne and his prestige was far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Yun Xi listened to the words of the original essence, and still had a great desire to complain. Yun Xi wanted to tell him, to all the other officials of the Ming Dynasty, that religion was a weapon, and that religion was a more effective weapon than the sword in all the world, except for the Han people, who were very precocious.

Even for the Han Chinese, religion was a very effective weapon, although it was not as useful as the sword. Don't you see, when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, how many parishioners took the initiative to help the Eight-Nation Alliance? The obedient people are honest and don't mess with anyone, and the people will take the initiative to help the invaders.

Even for a precocious nation like the Han Chinese, there are devout believers, not to mention the existence of many church schools. And how many of the True God Cultists in the northwest were the original Han Chinese who became Hui after believing in the True God Cult?

Not to mention how many missionaries secretly did spy work in the name of missionary work in the last Qing Dynasty? In particular, the Puritan churches from the United States were an important driving force behind the secret destruction of Chinese culture and the self-confidence of the Chinese people.

It is said that Song Ziwen, the younger brother of Song Qingling and Song Meiling, who believed in Christianity since childhood, disdained Chinese, and only read the English version of domestic reports, and only spoke English when talking to people who also studied in Britain and China.

So before the idea of the nation-state is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, there is no harm in adding a little local faith to the hearts of the common people of the whole country. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Flat (European) countries did not have the strength to invade China, how many Chinese people believed in Catholicism? If the position of religious belief is not occupied by the religion of the country, the religion of the foreign country will occupy it. If Yun Xi had the ability to popularize the idea of the nation-state, he would definitely popularize it, but now he doesn't have that condition, so he can only settle for the next best.

Of course, if the religious atmosphere is too strong, it will hinder the development of the country. Britain, Germany, and the United States all became powerful countries after the Reformation, while Spain and Portugal, which had not carried out the Reformation, were the first to colonize overseas, but they slowly declined.

However, with the pragmatism of the Chinese people, it is basically impossible for the religious atmosphere to be too strong.

And religion does not affect scientific inventions. Newton was always a devout Christian, didn't he also create the modern scientific system? Albert Einstein was also a devout Jew. The vast majority of the world's scientific inventions were discovered or created by Christians.

Yun Xi didn't know if Zhu Yuanzhang realized the importance of occupying the position of religious belief, and Yun Xi didn't ask him when Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the establishment of the City God Temple in all the prefectures and counties in the country, and canonized the City God of the capital as the Supervision Division Xianyou Wang and Zheng Yipin, the City God of each prefecture as the Supervision of the Simin City God Wei Linggong and Zheng Erpin, the Zhou City God God as the Supervision of the Simin City God Xianyou Hou and Zheng Sanpin, and the City God of each county as the Supervision of the Simin City God Xianyou Bo and Zheng Sipin.

In this way, a religious system was established in every prefecture and county in the country. In addition, the ubiquitous Land Temple in China, relying on the second level of the City God Temple-Land Temple, established a religious system covering the whole country to prevent the invasion of new foreign religions.

Of course, the above are all high-sounding truths. As for the direct purpose, the reason why Yunxi has to let people in Buddhism and Taoism admit that Zhu Yuanzhang is the reincarnation of so-and-so is to use the influence of Buddhism and Taoism to consolidate the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the people.

If the purpose is clearer, Yun Xi is mainly to consolidate his rule, and for Yun Xi, as long as he can consolidate the rule of the Ming Dynasty, he will consider it. At the same time, Yun Xi thinks that this is not harmful to Huaxia, so he will implement it.

Confucianism was used to win over the upper classes, and Confucianism was constantly reformed; The direct management of the local government and the soft control of the lower classes of Buddhism and Taoism are the basic attitudes of Yunxi.

But these things are not easy to say to the scholars below, they can't understand it, even many modern people who have seen the huge influence of religion find it ridiculous, let alone these ancient literati who have little knowledge.

Therefore, Yun Xi said: "In the original imperial history, I knew that sacred learning was the right way, and I would never be biased towards the two religions of interpretation and Taoism and abandon Confucianism. ”

"I just made arrangements with Emperor Taizu because he was quite dedicated to the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, so as to be the spirit of Emperor Taizu in the sky."

Then Yun Xi didn't wait for the original essence or other people to say anything, and immediately announced his retreat from the court, and he quickly left from behind, leaving only many Wenchen with helpless or unwilling faces.

But Yunxi can't help but deal with political affairs, so he can't help but deal with excerpts. Although those exhortations can be left unsent, the four auxiliary officers cannot be ignored.

So although Yun Xi hid in the harem, he still couldn't escape the fate of being admonished. Zhang Wen and Guo Zhen did not admonish, and the three of Tyrant Zhao, Chen Xingshan, and Zhuo Jing also admonished before they began to deal with the excerpts.

Yun Xi sighed and decided to tell the three of them part of the truth. Yun Xi said: "The three Aiqing, the original essence of the imperial history said, 'Explain Taoism, but foolish people, foolish women believe in it'." That's a good point. But how many people in the whole world are not fools and foolish women? ”

"In the whole world, people who can be regarded as reasonable people, that is, people who have studied in social studies, how many of these people account for the people of the Ming Dynasty? How many of the others are not fools? ”

"I will govern my Ming Dynasty, and I will never abandon Confucianism, and there must be Confucianism in the world!" Yun Xi first reassured a few Wenchen present, and then continued: "But these foolish people are unreasonable, and they are very easy to be bewitched by the cult. ”

"Instead of letting them be bewitched by the cult, it is better to let them believe in the two schools of Buddhism."

"But I will never establish any earthly Buddha country or Taoist country, and the governance of the country must rely on civil and military officials."

Yun Xi showed his thoughts more directly, depending on whether the butts of these civil officials sat on the side of the Ming Dynasty or on the side of Confucianism.

The three civil officials present were not stupid, and of course they heard Yun Xi's meaning, so the three civil officials immediately fell silent. Although they are civil officials and Confucian believers, they are now in front of the Ming Dynasty, and Yunxi treats them extremely politely, although they can't reach the level of Zhuge Liang, they are also deeply gracious.

Even if Yun Xi uses them so heavily according to the standard of 'good birds choose trees to perch on', there is no reason why they should not support Yun Xi.

So among the three, Chen Xingshan sighed and went back to work. The purest Chen Xianshan is the first to be liberated.

Then Zhuo Jing struggled for a while and went back to work. Finally, he bowed down to Yun Xi and said, "I hope Your Majesty will not forget what you said today, and do not abandon the Holy Learning." "Then I went to work.

Yun Xi also took a breath, he was also scared.

Then, after the answer in the afternoon, it was time to gather all the Buddhist masters. After sending the five officials out, Yun Xi first called all the Buddhists.
