421. Chapter 421: The Buddha
After obtaining the permission of the central government of the Qing Dynasty, Boss Tang's assistant will start lobbying several major countries of Buddhism, including several countries in Southeast Asia, the Chinese Federation, Japan, Goryeo, Kyushu, etc. Like the fate of the Qing Dynasty, Japan, as a major Buddhist country, is also short of money.
In order to raise military spending, Japan raised taxes more than the Qing Dynasty, but in the end it was defeated, and after Kyushu was ceded, it was because the Japanese themselves were not optimistic about the development of Honshu, and a large number of outstanding people voted with their feet and followed their spiritual emperor Windsor the Great.
However, the Japanese government still has a lot of backbone and has not promised to allow its Buddhist organization to be controlled by any foreign forces. Otherwise, Boss Tang may have brought over their famous temples such as Kinkakuji Temple and Sensoji Temple.
The World Buddhist Congress was held in Nepal, Shakyamuni's hometown, and many countries around the world sent heavyweight representatives to discuss the establishment of an international Buddhist association. Even Japan, which had not yet reached a close agreement, had to send representatives to see what was going on.
Before the congress was convened, the representatives of all parties had already played a good game in their sleeves, and the outside world had no idea how the leaders of all walks of life were fighting. The most eye-catching thing about the conference was that Windsor the Great appeared as the leader of Tibetan Buddhism, Sandin Gyatso, and greeted the Buddhist monks.
Once the Emperor of Windsor participated, the heretic assembly was instantly elevated to a world event, and I don't know what the king was going to do.
The three major schools of Buddhism in the world, due to the fact that the power of the Tantric kings is too large, even if the teachings of the various circles are very different, they have to rely on the Tantric Dharma King as the leader of the Buddhist sect. * Wang very politely wants to set the three major schools of the world's recognized identity as the three great masters.
The grandmaster of Tantra, there is no doubt about it, of course, our Santin * king, no one dares to fight with it, and the previous generation of Dalai has been secretly passed away. Southern Buddhism, a fierce debate on the economy, the monk king from the Golden Buddha Temple in Bangkok received the title of Guru.
The third grandmaster unexpectedly fell into the hands of the monk Guyue of Yongquan Temple in Gushan, Fujian, and the people of the rivers and lakes called the Venerable of the Descending Dragon.
The abbot of Shaolin Temple expressed dissatisfaction, he believed that Shaolin Temple was the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and Yongquan Temple was just a last stream of Caodong Sect. Caodong Sect pays attention to "Jingzhao Zen", with "just meditating" as a practice method, there is no witty words, no public case, no martial arts, our Shaolin Temple is so high than them that I don't know where to go.
However, while the Buddhist Congress was in full swing, the governments of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese Federation, Goryeo, Kyushu, India, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and other countries issued official statements one after another, entrusting Buddhist affairs to the International Buddhist Association.
Among them, Burma, Cambodia and Laos are all protectorates of the French colonists, and their political power is controlled by the French colonists, but the colonial government is "protected" by the Windsor consortium, so it is actually the territory controlled by the Windsor Empire.
These countries with many mountains and woodlands originally had poor transportation, and it was all thanks to the aerial train technology of the Windsor Transportation Empire that they were able to get out of poverty and live a well-off life, but in fact, the economy was controlled by the Windsor consortium.
Historically, because Thailand was located in the middle of the British colonizers and the French colonizers, no one wanted to let the other party control zhì, so it was able to be preserved, but unfortunately now Southeast Asia is completely controlled by the Windsor Empire, so Thailand has also fallen into the hands of the East India Company.
Thinking about who these countries are accused of, Premier Shen is just stupid and can probably guess who the big guy behind this is. A cold sweat fell, but it was too late for him to retract the decree that had been made public, and I hope that those countries also sold out the management of religious affairs because they received money. I can only deceive myself like this.
The accession of the Great Qing Kingdom made this international Buddhist association evil, because it was obvious that the Emperor Windsor should not be able to make the Great Qing Kingdom move.
There is a lot of speculation about this Buddhist association, and some have guessed the truth, because the Qing Dynasty is a democratic country and has to make its budget public, so the 5 million euros have a clear purpose. Premier Shen has the feeling of being pitted by Sheng Xuanhuai and has been questioned by the outside world.
In fact, that Dragon Descending Venerable Monk Guyue is a puppet secretly supported by Sheng Xuanhuai and Grandmaster Sangding's assistant, and will be recommended by the three major grandmasters as the chief grandmaster of Buddhism, formulating global rules for the Buddhist world. The new Buddhism is now somewhat Catholic, with a global power structure.
The main core rules of Buddhism are mainly to monopolize incense, ritual utensils, rituals and other things related to the business of Buddhism. In the beautiful name, it is called "regulating all matters". Because the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty thought that he had been deceived, although he did not say anything, he was not very willing to cooperate with the work of the Buddhist Association.
The association had no choice but to send its own disciples to enforce the rules. The dignified monks actually took up the work of chengguan, often breaking into those "illegal" workshops of homemade incense and ritual utensils to "persuade". In case the other party does not listen to the persuasion, the monk has to persuade again and again, and finally leave disappointed, and it will not be long before the real "chengguan" will come, which is the professional chengguan hired by the association, many of whom have been mercenaries.
Sometimes, professional chengguan and handicraftsmen will hurt each other, and they will inevitably go to the courts, and with the decree signed by the prime minister himself, the handicraftsmen will only lose the lawsuit. However, due to these large number of professional urban management, lawsuits and other expenses, Boss Tang's business seems to have lost money, and it is estimated that the business of 25 million Dayang has only received more than 10 million, with a net loss of 10 million yuan.
The Buddhist Association is not the only thing that has caused resentment among the people, they have also received orders to persuade fishermen and hunters not to kill, that is impossible, we humans will not live without killing, but please try not to kill rare wild animals.
The Buddhist Association has made a white list of rare wild animals, which is a "thin merit", drawing a large number of wild animals that can be hunted and killed, and persuading wild animals that are not on the white list not to kill, otherwise it will damage the yin virtue.
Monks should memorize the contents of the white list and become half naturalists. When the time comes, you can see at a glance whether the fisherman hunter is twisting prey in his hand that is detrimental to yin morality. The hunters are now as scared when they see the monks as if they were ghosts, because they will persuade them not to kill rare wild animals like the Tang monks.
If you repeatedly do not listen to the advice, you will be punished by the Buddhist Association. The way of sanction is that if someone dies in the donor's family and wants to do something, no monk will go. The Chinese are smart, witty and changeable, and the monks do not come, I invite the Taoist, who is not a practice? It's really not good, ask a pastor to come, what are you going to do?
But at least there is a certain deterrent, which is the soft power of monks.
There are also some famous temples through the ages, relying on their own fame, and they don't bird the Buddhist Association at all. The biggest thorn in this is the Shaolin Temple. The association sent senior monks to persuade them with good words, but they were still making their own incense candles and ritual utensils, and the association had no choice but to send the largest urban management force in history, ready to kill Shaolin on a certain day and dominate the rivers and lakes.
In fact, the chengguan team members are very nervous, this is the Shaolin Temple, the holy land of martial arts through the ages, can we win in one battle? Do I need to use a firearm? They don't want firearms yet, because they are not the army, and what is implemented in the Qing Dynasty is firearms control, which is a habit for the ages.
Collecting money from people and eliminating disasters with people, even if they are extremely frightened, these professional urban managers still have to set off, so a super-large-scale weapon fight is about to begin. The unscrupulous three thousand city managers bravely entered the Shaolin Arhat formation.
No one dared to offend the local police, and there was no order from above, and this public armed fight, which was rare in peacetime, approached step by step, attracting reporters from all over the world to report.
In order to show itself as a partner in justice, the Buddhist Association held a large-scale martial arts performance conference in Dengfeng County, where the Shaolin Temple is located, and the bigger the trouble, the better, to show that our association is exercising power within the scope of its own duties, and although the Shaolin Temple is strong, it is not good to obey.
Dengfeng County is the nest of Shaolin Temple, and the industrial inspection system is all people they have cultivated, how can they let the shaft be so rampant? At the opening ceremony of the martial arts competition, the local county police station dispatched hundreds of armed policemen and arrested hundreds of unrelated people who participated in the performance, causing an uproar in global public opinion.
Sheng Xuanhuai urgently contacted Premier Shen to remind him that the incident could trigger a "diplomatic crisis". Premier Shen was angry that Sheng Xuanhuai had deceived him, so he said, "It's a big deal." In fact, Shen Baozhen wanted to test the bottom line of the Emperor of Windsor, if the Emperor came out of the mountain again, the Qing Kingdom would not admit it, but the Emperor broke his promise to retire.
In a certain sense, as long as the emperor can be forced to break his promise, the Great Qing Kingdom will feel that he has won.
The Qing Kingdom did not win, the target of King Sangding was Famen Temple, this dilapidated temple, the host was appointed by the central government, anyway, there was not much oil and water, after receiving a generous pension, the host here was replaced, and Boss Tang already had enough power to quietly excavate the treasure and no longer pay attention to the affairs of the Buddhist Association.
If the Qing government does not cooperate with the work of the Buddhist Association, it only proves that the agreement between Sheng Xuanhuai and Shen Baozhen is useless, it is a failure of Sheng Xuanhuai, not a failure of someone in my Tang Dynasty. The Windsor Empire's non-aggressive stance has finally come to light.
It turned out that the retreat that the emperor said seemed to be true. While the outside world is arguing about the mass arrest of the law enforcement team of the Buddhist Association by the Dengfeng County police, Boss Tang is working with archaeologists to study how to find the underground treasure.
Using radio wave imaging technology, it is certain that there is a huge underground palace under the stupa, and Tang Ning is worried that the thousand-year-old treasure will be destroyed due to environmental changes when it is unearthed, so he specially asked the team to develop a small machine, pure electric, does not need oxygen, and cultural relics are afraid of oxygen.
First, use a small machine to explore the way, use the camera to shoot the internal scene, and then decide what method to use to excavate
