Chapter 39: Expulsion of Buddhism

I haven't seen Liu Wei for a long time, and this guy has actually mixed up to the graduate level that has just been opened.

It is also said that from an ignorant teenager to a handsome young man unconsciously, Liu Hong and He Hou's genes are indeed perfect, and at the age of twenty, he is already a handsome young man.

Most of the time, he was studying, and after completing his university courses, he applied for graduate school. This year, I officially became a graduate student, specializing in the politics of ancient states, and at the same time, I am also summarizing the various pros and cons of the Han Dynasty's rule. At the same time, he studied literature, painting and music, and faintly had a posture of 'I am the Emperor of Leisure'.

In the past 20 years, I have not specifically studied how to govern the country and secure the country, I have not learned the emperor's mental skills, and I have not learned the art of war. In his spare time, he recited Taoist classics, or practiced the Taiping Sutra and the Five Fowls Shaping the Body Decision, and although he was nominally the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he was almost never in charge of government and military affairs.

Even if he occasionally held a formal court meeting, he just asked Fang Yun to speak, and then asked the courtiers to make suggestions, and in the end, he actually chose the policy formulated by Fang Yun, which was simply a formality. Over the years, in fact, if it weren't for the occasional news that his news would appear in a corner of the newspaper, I am afraid that many people would forget his existence as an emperor.

Deliberately? Maybe it's a little interesting in this regard! It's not just Fang Yun, he's also deliberately avoiding some sensitive issues.

If you want to say that there is no way to protect yourself, Liu Xie completely lost to Liu Wei for hundreds of streets. Not everyone can be the emperor, especially the last emperor, who can't find his position clearly, and he just deserves to die.

Fang Yun found Liu Wei, and after a few simple gossips, he asked this question.

"Buddhism? The disciples have heard of it, but it was the ancestor Emperor Ming who introduced the sect...... But what's the problem? Liu Wei didn't have much impression of Buddhism, and his final impression was that Liu Zhuang introduced it. He was originally a monk and had nothing to do with Buddhism.

Fang Yun on Buddhism's recent moves. There is also a description of their missionary methods. At this time, there is no oil and vinegar, what should be is how it is, in fact, there is no need to render it, Buddhism in this era itself is very excessive.

Eating meat, drinking wine, playing with women, encroaching on land and lending usury, raising warrior monks to exploit local people. Reincarnation in this era is still the patent of Taoism. Buddhism can't be played, it just promotes going to the Western Elysium after death, and half-threatens to say that if you don't take refuge, you may go to hell after death. Of course, the so-called hell of Buddhism in this era does not seem to be the same as the underworld in China.

Perhaps it is a bit too difficult for Taoism to cultivate truth and become immortals, so many people are still full of longing for the beautiful afterlife. Because of this, Buddhism was able to have a market in China, especially in times of war.

"Since Buddhism has received the grace of my Han Dynasty, but it has tormented my Han family people so much, how should the master deal with it. Forget it. Come to think of it, these demon monks also used the witch Gu method at the beginning, which blinded the spiritual wisdom of the ancestors and introduced them into the territory of China. Liu Wei naturally understood Fang Yun's intention, and said with a smile.

With such a sentence, he gave the matter a given: it was not Liu Zhuang who introduced Buddhism, but Buddhism used evil magic to blind Liu Zhuang.

If this kind of propaganda is carried out, then the righteousness of Buddhism will not only be attacked. The most important thing is to put Liu Zhuang in the perspective of the victim, so that others will sympathize with him at most. And will not say that Liu Wei is not filial.

"Then that's fine...... By the way, what I told you earlier, how did you think about it? Fang Yun nodded, then raised his head and asked.

"Naturally, there is no problem with the disciple, as long as the so-called Australian Island really exists, there will be no problem." Liu Wei said with a smile.

This is an inevitable problem, and it is impossible for Fang Yun to allow Liu Wei to remain the emperor. Even if he allowed the people below, he wouldn't allow it. But if Liu Wei is allowed to be in Huaxia, maybe he or others will rebel in his name.

It's just that if you kill him, it will obviously violate the agreement between him and Liu Hong. Besides, Liu Wei has been so obedient for so many years, and Fang Yun can't do it when the master and apprentice on both sides are fighting. The only way to do this is to let him leave Huaxia far away.

around the world. Fang Yun chose the island of Australia, which was originally supposed to be Australia, but who made it just an ordinary continent in this era? It's just because of habit that Fang Yun named it Aozhou Island, and included those islands in Oceania under the jurisdiction of Aozhou Island.

With the discovery of Yazhou Island, the next step for ocean-going vessels will be to explore the Indochina Peninsula and the Southeast Asian archipelago. The final destination, of course, was to reach the Americas via Oceania. As a traverser, the greatest hope is naturally to plant the national flag of China in every corner of the world, so that China can become a real empire on which the sun never sets.

At this stage, it is to let Liu Xie and his relatives, with a group of remnants of the Han Dynasty, go to Aozhou Island to live and develop. It didn't matter if they became an independent kingdom, after all, they were far away from the mainland of China and did not have enough navigation skills, so they could not easily leave the island of Australia.

When it really comes to the ability to do so, I don't know if it will be decades later, and it will give my children and grandchildren a headache. It's just that at that time, even if they come back, I'm afraid that not many people in the world will recognize the existence of the Han Dynasty. At most, in the eyes of most people, it is just a 'former dynasty' existence.

At that time, even if they are in the name of rebuilding the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that no one will respond. As for the matter of fighting, leave it to your descendants and grandchildren, and don't let them be too idle, because a country without a sense of crisis is prone to problems.

Liu Wei is not resistant to going to Aozhou Island, in fact, if he can rebuild the Han Dynasty there, it is estimated that he is worthy of his ancestors and ancestors when he dies. It's a pity that at most, it is only the kingdom that can be established, not the empire......

The movement against Buddhism also began after today's talk.

First of all, the newspapers are overwhelmingly propagating Buddhism, and even faintly pointing out that Buddhism may have witchcraft methods. Politically sensitive people read these newspapers and knew that the government was going to attack Buddhism.

Those who believe in Buddhism in their families are immediately ordered to change or cancel their beliefs, and if they have become fanatical or devout believers, they are directly expelled from their homes for fear of harming their homes.

This is only the first step, as there are no concrete measures. Therefore, many people did not know that Fang Yun planned to attack Buddhism.

In the second step, while the newspapers continued to publicize it, there were also many 'experts' to conduct research. Although it was Liu Zhuang's intention to introduce Buddhism into China at the beginning, considering the personality comparison of Liu Zhuang before and after the introduction of Buddhism, there is also a situation that proves that he himself is a non-believer. His enthusiasm for Buddhism is very abnormal.

This question was raised, and many people began to feel that something was wrong, and a few people began to associate Liu Zhuang with the Buddhist method of witchcraft, and then immediately realized something. In only half a month, almost all the temples were crowded, and most of the original believers were reduced, and a small number of devout believers or had to continue to rely on Buddhism to survive, so they had to live tremblingly.

In the end, the newspaper finally pointed out. Buddhism is rebellious, committing all kinds of things that hurt heaven and reason, promoting benevolence and virtue while itself is brutal and unkind, and at the same time pointing out that Buddhism is also suspected of using witchcraft to make Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty lose his mind......

The conclusion is one, the state has officially issued an order to expel Buddhism completely!

As long as it is under Fang Yun's rule, as long as it is all the temples and monks of Buddhism. were all expelled. Those who are unwilling to accept the expulsion order will be punished for treason.

Almost immediately after the newspaper was published. The army surrounded the major monasteries and did not give them a chance to prepare at all. The major temples, especially the White Horse Temple, naturally cannot be tied down and give up all the industries to start from scratch. But they didn't want to be provoked by the members of the Han Soul Organization lurking inside, and even when the two armies were fighting, they attacked the official army first, and as a result, the original confrontation was broken. The two sides immediately fought.

It's just that these so-called warrior monks, how can they be the opponents of the official army, and even encircle and suppress the White Horse Temple, Fang Yun directly sent Dian Wei over. In less than half an hour, the White Horse Temple announced the extinction of the temple. All the monks inside were exterminated.

The newspapers simultaneously propagandized, portraying this war vividly, portraying Dian Wei and other Han soldiers as heroes who expelled cults, and even more so as those Buddhist warrior monks as extraterritorial demons, all of whom were barbarians with green faces and fangs, and who drank blood.

The propaganda work was very good, and perhaps the expulsion work was very good, at least until the end of the year, and all the Buddhists were expelled from Fang Yun's sphere of influence. At the same time, Liu Xuan, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Shi Xie all issued proclamations prohibiting the spread of Buddhism under their rule, and also began to expel the monks.

Eventually, these monks either returned to India along the old path of the Western Regions, or entered the sphere of influence of the coalition regime. Buddhism may have a lot to offer, but at least it has a good appetite for rulers. Just as the Confucian doctrine of 'the people can make it happen, but not the people can make it known' taken out of context, the perseverance of Buddhism and the bliss of the West are equally suitable for the needs of the ruler's foolish people, so unexpected Buddhism actually took root in Yanzhou and Yuzhou and other places.

However, these Liu Suncao are not fools, and naturally they will not allow the things advertised in the newspapers to happen. Instead of destroying the Buddhas, they were allowed to camp in their own territory, but with a series of restrictions. First of all, it is not allowed to have warrior monks, and at the same time, it is not allowed to have too much land in the temple, and it is not allowed to issue usury or do business. Monks can't say that they should be right, and they must be assessed before they can be issued. At the same time, monks are not allowed to drink alcohol and eat meat, they can only eat vegetarian food, and the most important thing is abstinence.

Perhaps it is a coincidence, or it is the inertia of history, the restrictions or measures imposed on monks by various dynasties in history have appeared one after another in this era. As for those monks who were reluctant to go to the beautiful land of China and did not want to go to the wild land of the Western Regions, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept these conditions.

They even planned to use this condition, hoping to impress Fang Yun to cancel the expulsion of Buddhism, but Fang Yun did not allow it. This is actually just nonsense, it was meant to be expelled, how could it be allowed to take root in its own territory?

So far, the measures against Buddhism have been completed in stages. At the same time, there is also good news from the construction corps, that is, the construction of the Changhan Expressway has been completed, and the army can send troops to Hanzhong at any time.

At the same time, Liu Zhang also mobilized 100,000 laborers to start building his highway in Chengdu. Unfortunately, due to the lack of cement and the use of steel bars, the road surface is mainly dirt roads.

In any case, if this highway is built, it will be a smooth road from Chengdu to Hanzhong, and the key is that Liu Zhang's control of Bashu will be more convenient. If not, who would be an idiot to build what highway? (To be continued......)

PS: If there is anything that offends Buddhist believers, please forgive me, after all, this is just a novel. As a bloody traveler, a fool of Confucianism and Buddhism, I don't think I need it, the future of the Chinese nation should be in the sea of stars, in the vast universe, not in China itself......
