No matter what the old monk's sincere monologue is at this time, Li Congjing will not let him go easily, it is a good thing for a monk to have faith, and it is good for himself and others, but it is obvious that Li Congjing made a special trip, not to listen to Qi Ji express his Gao Sang sentiments, he is not a born monk, he is the unbearable King of Tang Qin.
So Li Congjing asked very directly after pursing his lips, "Old monk, the imperial court intends to make you the leader of Buddhism and start purging Buddhism, are you willing?" ”
This question was unexpected, and the sky was pitiful, not only did he never think of this kind of thing, but it was quite contrary to his original intention, so he hesitated for a moment, and then refused, "Three feet of land, a green lamp, a volume of Buddhist scriptures, the poor monk's wish is enough, and he dare not have it anymore." ”
Li Congjing believed that this was the old monk's true thoughts, but he didn't want the old monk to be so pure-hearted, at least not so alone, he held on to the railing and said: "Since the Huangchao Rebellion, the world has been divided, the princes have been divided, each hegemon, each has its own government, and even each has minted currency, each has its own history, and has re-enacted the old events of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period." However, nations will be divided, but culture will not, let alone civilization. ”
"Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains from the end of the Han Dynasty, spread all over the world, with millions of believers, and in the present world, although there is a difference between Mahayana and Hinayana and many sects, it has always been in one Buddhism. Today, the political power is divided, the Northern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty, the Western Shu and the Eastern Wu, our dynasty wants Kyushu to be reunified, and it relies on soldiers and horses to conquer, but it cannot ignore the cultural system. Buddha, if it is only Buddhism, the court can not borrow its strength, nor can it be borrowed, but Buddha is not only Buddhism, but also Buddhism, Buddhism! ”
"Lonely news, when Liang and Jin were fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, Yang Wu took advantage of the situation of partial security, greatly promoted culture and education, worshiped Buddha and worshipped the Tao, ten years have fallen, and then there is a matter of competing for the south. Yang Wu Zhiqiang, not only the commander of thousands of heroes, but also the five million people, but also the gathering of talents, and the prosperity of literature and Taoism. ”
"In the past, the rebellion of the eight kings of the Jin Dynasty, the clothes crossed to the south, and the Central Plains fell, and the Jiangnan was able to be safe for a hundred years, not because of the Yangtze River, but because of the outstanding family members, but also in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to inherit the Chinese cultural system. At that time, with the talent of Fu Jian and the elite of millions of heroes, it was still inevitable that there would be defeat. As a result, Jiangnan opened a troubled era to inherit the situation of the Chinese Taoist system, and every time there was a war in the Central Plains in the future, Jiangnan was prosperous for a while. Today, Yang Wu is about to do this. ”
"Jiangnan is strong, but I don't see the success of the Northern Expedition, the non-army is not strong enough, the non-wealth is not enough, and many factors are thrown away, it can be seen that there are two reasons, one is the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, the land of smoke and willows, and the long-term peace will consume the bloody ambition, and the second is the place where talents gather, and there will inevitably be internal fighting. At that time, Song Zu Liu Yu had a successful Northern Expedition, and the reason why the ancient achievements were ruined in one fell swoop cannot but be said to be a very serious reason. Today's Yang Wu, although it is a corner of peace, is not as strong as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but its momentum has not been long, just like the rising sun, when it is full of vitality, the twilight has not appeared. And Xu Wen and Xu Zhihe are rarely seen male masters, if Yang Wu works together, the court can not help but be deeply afraid. ”
"Since Buddhism is now strong and powerful in Yang Wu, how can the imperial court turn a blind eye to the Buddhism if it wants to conquer Yang Wu. In addition, the imperial court implemented a new policy and recalculated the people's land, and the monasteries were greatly affected, and the imperial court did not want the Buddhism to be in turmoil, and did not want this move to appear to help Yang Wu's omission. And the old monk you faction advocates and is in harmony with the intentions of the imperial court, so the imperial court hopes that you will clean up the world's Buddhism, cooperate with the new policy of the imperial court, and at the same time help the imperial court to defeat the great cause of Wu. ”
In the late Tang Dynasty, the temple "built more and more, the gradient was wide", and even there was a terrifying scene of "the wealth of the world, and the Buddha has its seven or eight". In order to avoid paying taxes, not only a large number of adults have been ordained as monks and nuns, but even children have also "escaped into the empty door".
When Zhou Shizong Chai Rong did the matter of destroying the Buddha, he had such a remark: "I heard that the Buddha said that the life experience is delusional, and the benefit of the people is urgent, so that the real body is still there, and the benefit of the world, I still want to cut off, and this copper coin, how can it be a pity!" ”
In the second year of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Shizong ordered the abolition of 30,336 monasteries, and even so, there were still as many as 2,694 monasteries retained in the Later Zhou Dynasty. At the same time, Chai Rong ordered a large number of monks and nuns to work in the laity, forbidding private monks and nuns, and at the same time demolishing the bronze Buddha statues in the world to mint money.
Li Congjing's words were sincere, but it was obviously not in line with his own intentions, and he didn't want to get too involved in mundane things, so he shook his head and refused.
got on Li Congjing's ship, how could Li Congjing still allow Qi to pick and choose, and besides, this monk met Li Congjing and secretly did so many things, saying that it was to promote the idea of the Qing sect of cultivation - it is said that many factions of Buddhism were attacked in the five dynasties, but Zen Buddhism hid in the mountains to practice and was able to carry forward and grow - I don't know if Qi Ji is a Zen sect. But in fact, Qi Ji didn't hope that Li Congjing would not be ruthless to Buddhism and seek a way to preserve Buddhism.
Li Congjing didn't intend to give Qi Ji a chance to shirk, and said to him: "Old monk, Lone doesn't go around the bend with you, to put it bluntly, Buddhism is established in the world, it is impossible to get out of the world, you Buddhism wants to survive, and you can't do without the officials, Lone let you clean up Buddhism, it is to show you a clear way, if you don't do it, you can do it, Lone sent court officials to do this, when the time comes, you don't say that the court officials are ruthless, and there is no half of compassion." ”
Think about it, Zhou Shizong only abandoned more than 30,000 temples in the territory of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the size of the temples is different, the average point is calculated by 100 people in each temple, then there are 3 million people, 3 million laborers, how much a force is a force for the development of the country, and the total population of Yang Wu is only 5 million
From the perspective of the country, Li Congjing has to be ruthless to Buddhism, and he can be ruthless to Buddhism, let alone align himself.
Li Congjing saw that Qi Ji was still in a hurry, and the boss was unwilling, so he was a little impatient, he was kind-hearted, and Shi En's appearance was really suffocating, he snorted coldly and said: "Hu Desheng, you are also a person who has been an official, Hugh has to twist and pinch with Gu, this matter is so decided, when Gu comes back from Jingnan, you will go back to Luoyang with Gu!" ”
The old monk was shocked when he heard the words "Hu Desheng", "How does the King of Qin know"
"How do you know your name?" Li Congjing waved his sleeves in a dashing manner, turned around and left the small pavilion, "It's not a good name, what is there to cherish yourself." If you have the courage and ability to dangle in front of Lonely, and make moves with Lonely, don't think about any privacy, a monk Lone can't be cured, and there is no heavenly reason! ”
That is to say, the Tang Dynasty can't use troops against Yang Wu for the time being, otherwise millions of heroes will cross the river and sweep Jinling to capture Xu Wen and his son, how cool it is, and it will be necessary to use so many means. Entangled with this old monk, the other party's mouth is a Buddhist scripture, Li Congjing has to think about it every time he listens to it, so he can understand what he means, which is really annoying.
Hu Desheng Hu Desheng, why don't you just call Hu Shengde, it's so refreshing.
Walking to the intersection, Li Congjing suddenly stopped, looked back at Qi Ji standing in the wind in the small pavilion, and asked curiously: "Is there anything dirty between the Lin family and you?" ”
The old monk said angrily that no, and Li Congjing was skeptical. After such a delay with Qi Ji, coming down from the mountain, Li Congjing ran into the Lin family again. Nearly burned to death in the fire last night, it was clear that the Lin clan did not intend to stay in the Lotus Temple any longer. There is no male owner in this family, it is said that it is a businessman, and there is no leisure and elegance to accompany the ladies and relatives to come all the way to burn incense and worship the Buddha - these people are actually in Jiangling, Li Congjing really admires their piety on the long journey.
Jingnan Jiedu makes Jingzhou govern Jingzhou, and Jingzhou Prefecture governs Jiangling. From Jingzhou upstream, there are Xiazhou, Guizhou, Kuizhou, Wanzhou, and Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou is not far from Yuzhou (Chongqing). Among them, Guizhou Prefecture is Zigui, and the next county upstream of Zigui is called Badong, which is Li Congjing's hometown before crossing - if there is a chance on this trip, Li Congjing would like to go and see - Kou Zhun, the famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, made a county order in Badong County.
Since the Lin family had the same destination as Li Congjing, they forcibly walked along the way, and dropped behind the army, it was said that it was for the safety of the road. The march of the army was neither fast nor slow, there was really no way to get rid of these people, and Li Congjing had no reason to drive them away.
Out of the Qinling Mountains to Xiangzhou, Li Congjing went to see Liu Xun, but was very disappointed, this guy is indeed a mediocre person, Li Congjing really didn't dare to expect him to do anything when there was a change in Jingnan, when this guy attacked Gao Jixing in history, half of the soldiers died of illness on the road.
However, if you want to say that to take over Jingnan, Xiangzhou is indeed the best choice, and after Li Congjing weighed it, he left Lin Ying here and left him with five hundred gentlemen. If the situation is unfavorable, with Lin Ying and five hundred gentlemen taking the lead, the Xiangzhou army will not be too unbearable. This trip entered the boundary of Jingzhou, and the difference between bringing 3,000 people and 2,500 guards was not big.
Going south from Xiangzhou, and then entering the boundary of Jingzhou, Li Congjing saw what the famous Zhangshui looked like. It is said that the Zhangshui Valley is a place of smoke and miasma, when Liu Xun led the Xiangzhou army to attack Gao Jixing, because the road here is not easy to walk, the environment is too poor, coupled with the rain for several days, the soldiers are very sick, and finally there are heavy casualties, and because of the lack of food, Liu Xun had to lead the troops back.
To the south of Jingzhou is Ma Chu, and Ma Yin, the leader of Ma Chu, is the king of Chu and not the emperor or king of Chu. This title of King of Chu, Ma Yin was enshrined in Qianliang, and after Li Siyuan succeeded to the throne, he was sealed again as it was, and now Ma Yin regards the Tang Dynasty as orthodox and bows down to the ministers, and the leader of the Salt Gang, Qian Miao, the king of Wuyue, is the same posture.
In history, when Li Siyuan sent people to attack Gao Jixing, Ma Yin took the initiative to send troops to help and sent troops to Yuezhou. In the second year of Tiancheng, Li Siyuan named Ma Yin as the king of Chu, and Ma Yin established the Southern Chu State since then, which was actually independent and became one of the ten secession regimes during the Five Dynasties period.
To the south of Ma Chu, south of the Nanling Mountains, is the Southern Han Dynasty.
Let's not talk about this, let's say that right now, after Li Congjing led the crowd into Jingzhou, Tao Yaoyao received news from the Jiangling Military Intelligence Department. This news confirms that the door that the Lin family reported itself does exist.
Li Congjing looked at this information and stroked his jaw, groaning for a while, thinking to himself that he was really suspicious, the Lin family is indeed a good housewife?
Seeing that Jiangling was in sight, it was estimated that he would meet the team sent by Gao Jixing to meet him, and after camping this day, the Lin family swayed and moved again, stepping on the pace of affection to ask to see Li Congjing.
