Chapter 27: Maitreya

Cao Feiliang promised, touched his chin with his right hand and thought about it, and then said slowly: "Maitreya Sect was founded in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, established by the famous monk Fu Dashi, and worshiped Maitreya Buddha. By the time of Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Jizhou Shamen Faqing and Huihui rebelled, which was known as the Mahayana Uprising. The uprising lasted for nearly two years, and the soldiers reached the four counties of Wuyi, Bohai, Changle and Wuyuan in Yuji and Yingerzhou, and the righteous people reached more than 50,000 at its peak. ”

Zhao Yu frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "You guys are so good at talking, why didn't you say why they rebelled?" That's a no-end! ”

Cao Feiliang was a little stunned, he naturally didn't know it, but it was really hard to say it thoroughly. After all, it was a rebellion, and it was difficult to explain it thoroughly, because you said it thoroughly, what if someone followed suit? Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties have been vague about the details of the rebellion.

Cao Feiliang hesitated for a moment, and then added: "This matter has only been seen by the official from some fragments, and at that time, there should have been a huge disparity between the rich and the poor in Jizhou, which made a large number of people believe in Buddhism. However, officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty discriminated against Buddhism, which made Buddhism have a low status. I don't say what triggered it, but it is estimated that it was the officials who insulted Nashamen, which led to the outbreak of the uprising. ”

After a pause, he took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, Cao Feiliang continued: "At that time, Jizhou Shamen Faqing proclaimed himself the "New Buddha", and Li Guibo was the "Ten Dwelling Bodhisattvas", creating the "Mahayana Buddha", and fooling the believers to revolt. This so-called "new Buddha" is a reference to the statement in the Buddhist scriptures that "Maitreya descended to become a Buddha". Replace Shakyamuni Buddha with Maitreya Buddha to save the world, and oppose the Buddhist principle of the five precepts and abstain from killing. He advocates "killing people and causing chaos", believing that those who kill one person are one bodhisattvas, and those who kill ten people are ten bodhisattvas. "Wei Shu Yuan Yao Biography" describes the situation at that time, "slaughtering the temple, beheading monks and nuns, burning scripture statues", "and the madness drug is convincing, the father and son and brother do not know each other, only to kill as a thing", which shows the madness of Maitreya's work. ”

Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "This Wei book was written by the victor in the end, it can't be all like this." However, it can be seen from here that Maitreya does have a set of demagoguery. As for the ...... of medication"

Zhao Yu sneered and shook his head, looking disbelieving. Naturally, it's not that Zhao Yu doesn't think that there are no crazy drugs in this era, but are these drugs easy to find? Even in modern times, the drugs that make people crazy are more expensive, and even more in ancient times, even if Maitreya has it, at most it is used individually, how can it be used on a large scale!

Cao Feiliang didn't dare to make any comments on this, and after half a while, he continued: "In addition to the uprising in the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was also an outbreak in the Sui Dynasty. This is also recorded in the "Taiping Guangji" compiled during the reign of Taizong of our dynasty......"

Cao Feiliang probably didn't remember it very clearly, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "It should be recorded in the "Taiping Guangji" that Emperor Yang of Sui was born in Tang County in the ninth year of his great cause. Good at illusion, there is light upstairs every night. can change into the form of a Buddha, claiming that Maitreya Buddha was born, and believing in confusion from far and near. Thousands of people gathered and then rioted. Affair is punishable, sitting and punishing. ”

Zhao Yu said with some regret: "This doesn't seem to be a big rebellion, but it's just a thousand or hundreds of people!" ”

Cao Feiliang smiled bitterly and said, "Little Prince, you didn't pay attention to one thing, where is Tang County?" Gaoyang County belongs to it, all of which are located in ancient Jizhou, now Hebei. This means that this Maitreya religion is like a weed, which burns and then reappears in the spring of the following year. And what is the place of Hebei, the place where Ruishi came out throughout the ages! ”

Zhao Yu's expression also became a little solemn, and the trouble in Hebei was not just as simple as Cao Feiliang said. As the so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, the most powerful in the Song Dynasty at present is not the Western Army, but the soldiers of Hebei, because they fight with the Khitan all the year round, their combat effectiveness can be said to be the best in the Great Song Dynasty. If Hebei is in turmoil, what will the imperial court do?

Mobilize the Hebei Army to quell the rebellion, which is naturally good, the question is whether the Khitan will take the opportunity to go south?

Well, if the Hebei Army is not transferred to quell the rebellion, will the Hebei Army be in turmoil? Not to mention the whole army, the place where the families of the soldiers in the army are located has been occupied by the rebels, or the peace of mind of those who are close to the rebels is enough to make the Hebei army unstable.

On the other hand, the area around Tang County is close to Bianliang City, what if the rebels go south? Not to mention reaching Bianliang City, just arriving on the north bank of the Yellow River was enough for the Great Song Dynasty to be shaken.

Zhao Yu felt really damned, this Maitreya Sect really wouldn't be him. Mother. Ready to rebel, right?

It's just that this matter is unfounded, it's just his empty words, maybe Liu E and Song Renzong are fighting? Besides, is it useful to go on a big swag? From the Northern Wei Dynasty to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, how many years have passed, and this Maitreya religion has not yet revived? Do you think it's possible to say that they have poor regenerative and hidden abilities?

Glancing at Cao Feiliang next to him, Zhao Yuden was happy. No wonder the people there in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms like to find a military advisor, and if there is something, they will throw it to the military advisor. Zhao Yu coughed and asked, "Cao Feiliang, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Cao Feiliang had a feeling of 'lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot', and he didn't say anything if he knew it, after all, something happened, and there were adults on top of it.

Cao Feiliang smiled helplessly and said: "Little prince, the official has no plan for this, after all, all this is the official's speculation, and the official might as well brake on this matter!" ”

Zhao Yu didn't agree, shook his head, and said: "This Great Song Dynasty is our surname Zhao, how can we treat it so perfunctory?" ”

Cao Fei's conscience was depressed and wanted to give Zhao Yu a brick, his eyes turned around a few times, but he still couldn't think of a way. Helplessly asked: "Then the little prince, you can do whatever you say, I can't do anything about it!" ”

Zhao Yu was also a little dumbfounded, stood up and paced and thought, walked to the edge of the hanger, and saw a brocade robe, and his heart moved. Jinyiwei! Zhao Yu's expression changed immediately, and he looked confident, eager to take a goose feather fan to pretend to b. "Although I don't know if it's Maitreya, but we can send someone to investigate secretly, even if something comes, we can know a thing or two!"

"That's fine!" Cao Feiliang also felt that this method was okay, it was better than doing nothing, but he quickly thought of a key problem. Raising his head and looking at Zhao Yu, Cao Feiliang spit out a few words heavily. "Little prince, where does the money come from?"

Zhao Yu was dumbfounded again, scratched his head in distress and said, "This thing can't be done for a while, let's set up a framework for the time being!" Money thing...... Ha ha! There will always be one in the future! ”

Cao Feiliang looked at Zhao Yu speechlessly, only to feel a group of crows flying over his head.
