Chapter 684: Separation of Church and State
The next day, Diwan Yelu Chongde of the Criminal Department went to the palace. It's not a special thing, so not many people pay attention to it.
It's just that in the evening, there is an outcast in Malu's Paradise. Again, this has nothing to do with the vast majority of people, so it doesn't attract any attention. However, the next day, Flatt went to visit Li Chengji, and only came out after a moment of gratitude. Although the other courtiers were curious, the affairs in the palace had always been very tight, and no one dared to delve into it.
Then the Criminal Department announced the first batch of spy execution lists!
The number one spy is the former elder of the House of Elders, Farazo. Collusion with heresies in a vain attempt to subvert Puritanism. It is a heinous crime, and the three tribes are punished, and there is no possibility of exile. In second place was the former Ministry of Works, Dadi Wanjarah, who was accused of selling gunpowder to foreign enemies, which was tantamount to treason. Because the close family members were poisoned by the enemy spies, the crime of punishing the three tribes was changed to exile. The third place is the county of Yu, Modour, whose official resume can be described as wonderful.
Born in the rebel army, he became the secretary of the early Puhua Governor's Office. Later, with the development and growth of Li Chengji, he became the military department Diwan. Originally, according to the background of his old minister, he should also have a place in the Shuaifu. It's a pity that his eyes are not good, and he actually harbors the spies of the old country.
should have been punished as a felony, but Li Chengji still let him go. was demoted five levels in a row and became a county magistrate. As the county of Heyou County, the felt is prosperous and wealthy, although it is not as rich as Khorasan. However, due to the development of trade routes in Eastern Europe, the future was not bad. And as a tainted courtier, he will have a slim recovery in the future, and it is not bad to stay in the felt for the elderly.
It's a pity that he not only didn't think about Li Chengji's extrajudicial kindness, but he was also dissatisfied. Deliberately shielding and conniving at the conflict between the local people and the people who have migrated out of the country, and creating chaos. He also colluded with foreign spies to conspire to hold Mahamat hostage in order to restore the Khorezm Empire.
Such wolf ambitions, how can Da Yuan tolerate them.
Therefore, within a few days of its establishment, the Hoeing and Rape Division ordered the local branch of the Department of Affairs to arrest him. Then he was handed over to the Criminal Department, and escorted all the way to Malu.
"Sinners! Kill him! ”
"Phew!"
"It's a shame for us Puhua!"
When Modur saw the people of Puhua who 'welcomed' him, his heart was sad. This belongs to Lee Seungji, and it also belongs to the city where he started. Since the capital was moved to Malu, he has never come back to see it.
Passing by in this way now, it is more prosperous than before. Except for the familiar mosque and the Puhua Governor's Palace, which is now changed to the Puhua Palace, other streets and buildings have changed.
The most obvious thing is that the road surface has turned to concrete, and street trees have been planted on both sides. The old neighborhood where I used to live has become a commercial street.
The members of the inspectorate who were guarding him were afraid that the people would behave excessively, so they had to get closer to the prisoner car. This also caused them to suffer from the pond fish. It was affected by some rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. There is even the smelly Yoneda Gong, which deeply makes them feel the 'enthusiasm' of the people of Puhua for Modur.
Among the spies ranked after Modur, there are also several giant businessmen. All their family property was confiscated, which can be said to have greatly enriched the treasury of Dayuan. Among the three tribes, women are all sent to the border to join the army, and men are exiled overseas to open up desert islands, which is not a good place to go.
And the Presbyterian House was usurped by Farazole, which caused a great loss of vitality within the Puritans. Although the number of Muslim elders in the House of Elders has not changed, the power is no longer as sharp as before. This is a great thing for other denominations.
For example, Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet!
Because Islam was planning to carry out religious reform in the Tibetan region, the local Buddhist forces felt unprecedented pressure. Now, after such a mess, the local education reform will come to an end.
In Yuantong Temple, Master Yijing, who has two bearded eyebrows and is as old as a dead tree, is accepting the resignation of the Tibetan monk Sakya Pandita.
"Master Sakya has traveled a long way here, but fortunately, the man-made disaster has been eliminated, and it only depends on the will of God." , the righteous body does not move the mouth in the way.
"My Buddha is merciful, and I can't bear to take off the robe of the Tibetan Buddha and change his religion. This trip will surely bless us and return safely. ”,
"If I say goodbye to this trip, I'm afraid I won't see you again. This Diamond Sutra was given to Venerable Sakya. Yijing took out a scripture book from his arms, the cover was a little damaged, and it looked like he had looked through it. Sakya took it, solemnly took off the agate beads on his wrist, and gave it back to Yijing.
Out of the meditation room like this, a carriage has already been prepared outside the temple.
According to etiquette, he should go to the palace to resign now. But Dayuan Puritanism is the state religion! At present, Puritanism has been negatively affected by the Falasso incident, and it is difficult to meet with other religious figures to shake the position of Puritanism as the state religion. Therefore, Sakya Pandita only gave Lee Seungji some gifts through the Department of Religion, and he resigned.
On the way back, he flipped through the scriptures. There are four pages in it that are folded up. Curious, Sakya opened it and saw that the pages were circled in red. From a combined point of view, it is 'the holy will is unpredictable, and the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind; Separation of church and state, my Buddha's compassion and freedom will last forever. ’。
At first, Sakya did not understand the meaning of these words. But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but think about it. The hint of righteousness is not to warn him that Buddhism should keep a low profile. After all, Islam capsized in the gutter this time, and it may not be too arrogant. Although the main reason for harboring heresy is this, as far as Sakya knows, Dayuan's affairs department is not a vegetarian.
How could Farasso be tolerated for so long and remain indifferent?
Thinking of the fact that the hoe and traitor division quickly dealt with a bunch of messes as soon as it was formed, he had to speculate maliciously whether the blow of Islam was deliberately promoted by Li Chengji.
As for the separation of church and state, it was easy for him to understand. Like the country where Islam is located, it has always been ****. Only an alternative like Da Yuan completely separates the secular from the religious. In order to prevent religion from interfering in secular affairs, the Department of Religion and the House of Elders have also been specially set up to deal with religious disputes.
And before the Great Yuan set foot in the Tibetan region, it was like the former Muslim state, ****. Often, a Buddhist temple controls a place and becomes a large and small separatist force. Now, after the Great Yuan established the Former Tibet and Later Tibet provinces, the civil and military powers were withdrawn to the local government established by the Great Yuan.
Those Buddhist temples that were originally of high status have become tigers without claws. Those who did not cooperate were all smashed as heretics, and those who remained were those who accepted the rule of the Great Yuan and surrendered to the faction.
It's just that the influence of Buddhist temples in the hearts of local people has not been so easy to eliminate for a while, so there are still Buddhist temples with thoughts in their hearts. But when Dayuan was strong, he didn't dare to show it. In the Buddhist temple where Sakya is located, there is such a situation.
Therefore, he has understood the admonition of righteousness.
