Chapter 127: See the Buddha's Way Again
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, I'll take care of your orphans and widows, sign the contract first, what do you think you lack the most now?"
"This... I don't know, I don't think there's anyone who can give me advice, and I don't know who to trust. ”
Although Qin Hao's words are yours, and his real nominal customer is also Chai Zongxun, but obviously, this kind of national affairs really can't be talked about with this little broken child, in fact, this is a transaction between him and the Empress Dowager Fu, this woman almost suddenly changed from a girl in the boudoir to the queen mother who carried Kyushu Wanfang on her shoulders, and it is normal for her to have numb claws for a while, according to the character of ordinary women, she should find a good girlfriend to come up with ideas at this time.
"I'll find you two people, one is Shangguan Wan'er, a talented woman during the Tang Dynasty."
"Ah, this is good, this is good, Shangguan Wan'er is good, then how can I arrange her?"
"Let her be a personal maid by your side, and say to the outside world that she will be your personal maid from now on, and it will not arouse suspicion, and there is someone who can discuss anything at any time, and with her by your side to guide you carefully, it can also make you a qualified queen mother faster."
Just kidding, Shangguan Wan'er served Wu Zetian back then.
"The other one is... Well, the other one you don't know, but few people can play with intrigue and tricks, he is a monk. ”
"AND ... Monk? This.... ”
Qin Hao smiled bitterly, "Yes, he is a monk, this monk is wise and strategic, and he is even more powerful than Shangguan Wan'er in the overall situation, and the queen mother can be invited into the palace from time to time to discuss major matters in the name of preaching." ”
"This... It will damage the prestige of the first emperor. ”
"Queen Mother, forget the prestige of the first emperor, that can't protect you, what you have to do now is to establish your prestige."
Okay, Qin Hao is arguing again, thanks to this woman who is so foolish, otherwise Yao Guangxiao really can't sell it.
Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, can be said to be the most eloquent emperor during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, looking at his life, it seems that he has been doing big things all the time, either doing big things or on the way to doing big things, the most important thing is to overcome the attack and do the results, although the goal is determined by tens of millions of people, and if the goal is not achieved, he will never give up, but he has done it every time.
There are a lot of these big things, and each of them seems to be able to be boasted of as a qualified emperor's lifetime achievements, to flaunt the annals of history, not to mention his awesome military exploits, even his cultural rule can be called glorious through the ages.
For example, he repaired the city, minted money, set up the Qin calendar, set up the two tax systems, set up the system, compiled the Great Zhou Criminal System, boycotted the households, the households, repaired the canal, and provided relief to the victims, none of these things can not make an emperor blow for a lifetime, and these are just the embellishments of his southern and northern wars.
In Chinese history, there have been a total of four times to destroy the Buddha, called the Three Martial Arts and One Sect, one of which refers to Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, of course, Qin Hao can sell Yao Guangxiao to the other three times, but if it is really put in the Three Martial Era, the ghost knows how much of a thing this neurotic will do.
And to be honest, Qin Hao himself also felt that it made sense to destroy the Buddha four times, and Buddhism should indeed be destroyed after it developed to a certain extent, so Qin Hao played a trick and sold Yao Guangxiao to this later Shizong era.
Chai Rong destroyed the Buddha and the previous three predecessors are not the same, the first few simply killed the monks, only the way he chose was to force the monks to return to the vulgar, and people are also reasonable, you can be a monk if you want to, first memorize two Buddhist scriptures to listen, we are not very demanding, a hundred pages, not a single word wrong, Buddhist scriptures can't be memorized, what monk do you still have.
If you want to build a temple, you can also build it, but you are not allowed to build it in a few big cities, and you must have a government approval to build it, and at the same time there are all kinds of this and that, anyway, there are very few people who are qualified to be monks.
For Sejong's destruction of Buddhism, Qin Hao can be said to raise his hands and feet in favor, not so much to destroy the Buddha as to rectify Buddhism is more appropriate, the positive significance to the society is far greater than the negative impact, if you really want Yao Guangxiao to mess with himself, he can't pass this level first, but now that the destruction is over, just let Yao Guangxiao pick up the gaps, this conspiracy is also his old job, and he can shine well.
The destruction of Buddhism does not lose a little negative impact, because of the Song Chengzhou system, Zhao Kuangyin almost absorbed and digested these foundations laid by Chai Rong, and naturally this policy of suppressing Buddhism was also inherited, so that the power of Buddhism was greatly reduced, but the power of Taoism was greatly increased.
Historically, the most powerful dynasty of Taoism was not Li Tang, who claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu, nor the Ming Dynasty, which overhauled Wudang Mountain, but the Song Dynasty, which inherited the Later Zhou.
If Buddhism is not good, is Taoism good? In fact, not necessarily, at least the Buddhist monks are still good, they will always come out to do chivalrous deeds or something, and they can also play a big role in the fight against thieves and aggression, and the major monasteries will always help with disaster relief or something in the year of famine, which is at least stronger than Taoism that has nothing to do all day long and has nothing to do, and fantasizes that you can fly to the sky.
In Qin Hao's view, whether the Buddha is good or the Tao, he should master a degree, and in the end, the balance of Buddhism and Taoism is the great fortune of this society.
Empress Dowager Fu is obviously a little hesitant, the matter of destroying the Buddha seems to be a bit evil, whether it is three martial arts or a sect, after the destruction of the Buddha, it is not long before he dies, and now the monks all over the world are preaching the saying of retribution everywhere, if he really finds a monk to preach the scriptures to himself, isn't it a slap in the face of Shizong? Isn't it a disguised admission that the monks are right?
At that time, the power of Buddhism will inevitably resurrect again, and he said: "The temple wastes a lot of copper in casting Buddha, and the monks do not produce it, I am afraid that they will raise their heads again." ”
"Chai Rong has basically finished everything he can do, what can he do with just one Yao Guangxiao? As long as he doesn't touch his big policy, it's great to let him build a few more temples, anyway, now that the Buddha statue has become a copper coin, what can he do to drive back? At this time, it may not be a good thing to help Buddhism, establish your prestige, think about Wu Zetian, don't people vigorously develop Buddhism and slap the Li family in the face. ”
"Ahh I, I, I... Don't dare to do that heavenly thing. ”
When this Empress Dowager Fu heard Qin Hao mention Wu Zetian, her whole person was stupid, and her beautiful little face turned pale with fright.
"Calm and calm, I didn't let you go to heaven, but you have to take out the wrist of people to shock the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and when Your Majesty grows up, if you can really return all the power, future generations will praise you for being famous for eternity."
Author's words: (This chapter writes so many Buddhas and Taos, not because I am afraid of being scolded, hum!) )。
Last time I wrote about Yao Guangxiao, my God, human brains were scolded as dog brains, I really didn't expect that everyone would have such a big opinion on Buddhism.
So, wasting a lot of saliva, I explained this paragraph and poured a little bit of my own private goods. I advocate a balance between Buddhism and Taoism, and it is always wrong for one to be dominant, and to tell the truth, Buddhism still does a little bit of good things, on the contrary, Taoism is a bit too much, for example, the problem of Wudang Mountain, I didn't think that so many people would have a special plot for Wudang Mountain.
I also admit that Wudang Mountain is a treasure of Chinese civilization, but in that society at that time, Zhu Di levied 200,000 people, and it took more than ten years to build Wudang Mountain, just to worship the Zhenwu Emperor for himself, I don't know how much people were spent, how many innocent people died, to be honest, I don't think this is a good governance, just like if the government suddenly said today that it would spend 2 trillion yuan to build a national cadre sanatorium, I think it should be difficult for everyone to accept it.
To be honest, I didn't expect to be scolded like this when I wrote that chapter, the book review area said that there were so many people who wanted to abandon the book, and there were a lot of people in the book friend group who scolded me, I feel a little incomprehensible, if you are a Xiangfan person, I can accept you spraying me two sentences, and the rest of the places will be exempted, here in response to all the people who spray me not to repair Wudang Mountain, Qin Shi Huang died in order to resist the Huns and built the Great Wall, countless people were scolded as tyrants, and Zhu Di's work to repair Wudang Mountain was almost not less than the Great Wall of Qin, but it was just for himself to have something to do to worship the Emperor ZhenwuWhat is it?
If you like Taoism, if it is a believer who donates money, it is the glory of Taoism, but if you build a mountain that is not of much use to you at that time, should you really build it?
