Chapter 16: The Opponents Who Begin to Assemble (7)
When the heavily armed Yuan army passed by the gate of the yamen in a fairly neat procession, the gang of gods who had been punished were kneeling at the entrance of the street to show the public. Listening to the sound of footsteps and weapons colliding, the gods recalled the fear of being captured and dominated by the officers and soldiers, and they couldn't help but shrink their bodies one by one.
Sticks are more sensitive, and you need to be sharp enough to notice the reaction of the deceived person. They felt that compared with the murderous aura of the officers and soldiers passing in front of them, the officers and soldiers who had captured them before could be said to be in a relaxed and entertaining mood. Therefore, many people in the god stick even began to tremble.
The Great Yuan Officers and Soldiers did not pay attention to the flailed gods, and they continued to walk forward, and soon walked away. Three Mile Bridge. The heavily armed Yuan army gathered at the door of the church of the Crucidian religion and rushed in. Screams and curses rang out in the church, followed by screams. As soon as a panicked priest rushed out of the small door, he was directly knocked down by the Yuan army outside, and then tied up with ropes.
Not only Sanli Bridge, but also at Wudaokou, in the fruit orchard, and at the Yuhe Bridge, except for the churches that were only opened for Mongolian nobles, most of the churches of the Cross Sect in the capital were raided. The priests who were honestly tied up were treated roughly, but they were good, and at most they were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen. The Yuan army dealt ruthless blows to priests who tried to escape, often by killing them in the streets.
The Yuan army has not been so fierce in Dadu for a long time, and this time he killed people in the street, and his neat movements reminded the people of Dadu who witnessed the fear of being dominated. No one even dared to discuss in public the reasons for the Yuan army's response to the Crucifixion. The prevailing opinion is that the Crusades went too far in their apocalyptic propaganda and thoroughly angered His Majesty Kublai Khan.
The gang guessed wrong, Kublai Khan himself believed in strange powers, and the apocalyptic propaganda did not anger him. The source of the Great Khan's anger was a letter written by Hao Ren Wanhu.
Hao Ren Wanhu is a disciple of Xunzi with a part of the concept of simple materialism, and before becoming a disciple of Xunzi with a part of the concept of simple materialism, Hao Ren was first and foremost a human being. Humans have a low tolerance for threats, and Mongolians have even less tolerance for threats. Even the priests of the Crucidian did not dare to attack the Porje Hao Ren Wanhu, but attacked his guards. Wan Hu still wrote a very stern letter to the Great Khan Kublai Khan about the attack on him by the Crusaders.
Kublai Khan allowed freedom of religion, but religion was not allowed to have the freedom to attack the families of his sons. After seeing Wanhu's letter, the Great Khan immediately ordered the crucidian priests to be arrested and interrogated.
The reaction of most religious circles to the arrest of almost all Crucidian priests has been rather cautious. Losing a competitor is a good thing, of course, but everyone is worried that the Great Khan is going to attack all religious people. On the third day of the raid on the church of the Cross Sect, the Taoist Taoist Mingxin Taoist went to visit the prince Zhenjin.
After seeing the prince, Mingxin Daoist hurriedly saluted, "Immeasurable Tianzun, Mingxin has seen the prince." β
Prince Zhenjin asked the Taoist to get up, and then said with a smile: "I saw the first copy of the "Ninja Song" sent by the Taoist a few days ago, and I felt very good. β
When Mingxin Dao Chang heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face. However, he didn't dare to simply express his happiness, but asked while the iron was hot: "This is just an exhortation from our Daomen to the current people, and I hope that the prince can correct it." β
"Haha. The Taoist was too careful. Prince Zhenjin said with a smile: "Buddhism talks about the burning of the Taoist treasure, I have ordered not to mention it a few days ago. It's just that this halal title will take some time. β
When Mingxin Dao heard this, he hurriedly saluted again, "The prince's kindness, my generation will definitely be unforgettable." β
The so-called burning of the Taoist treasure was the result of 20 years of struggle between Buddhism and Taoism. The most critical thing is the part of the debate on Buddhism and Taoism about the authenticity of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing".
"Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", when Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty (290-306 AD), the Heavenly Master Taoist sacrifice wine king Fu Mei and Shamen Bo Yuan fought for evil and righteousness, and then made a volume of "Hua Hu Jing", describing Lao Tzu's transformation into the Buddha in Tianzhu and the enlightenment of the Hu people. Later generations successively expanded and adapted it into 10 volumes, which became one of the bases for Taoists to attack Buddhism, so as to improve the position of Taoism above Buddhism. This caused a fierce conflict between the Taoist Buddhas, Tang Song and Ming and others recognized it, and Wu Zetian also issued a will. Wu Zetian issued an edict on June 15, the first year of Long Live Tongtian: "Lao Jun turned into Hu, and the edict was very important, and the monks should not be allowed to be cut off." ...... Knowing that Hu is true, it is not wrong to be a Buddha, the Tao can be convenient to teach, and the Buddha is born because of the Tao.
With the official judgment of the authenticity of the "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", the dominant position of Taoism over Buddhism was established.
During the MΓΆngke era, Tibetan Buddhism began to flourish among the Mongols, and Buddhism began to fight back under the guidance of Tibetan Buddhism. When Meng Ke Khan was alive, he forcibly ordered the Quanzhen sect of Taoism to return more than 200 Buddhist monasteries that had been forcibly seized.
As the Baspa National Master of Tibetan Buddhism began to be commissioned to create the Mongolian script, Tibetan Buddhism had an overwhelming preponderance. Taking advantage of the situation, Shijiao demanded that the imperial court investigate the Taoist apocrypha that was once forbidden by Meng Ge but was still popular in the world. At the beginning of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan ordered the monks of the Liberation Gate, the Wenchen of the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Zongyan, the Quanzhen Sect Sect Qi Zhicheng, and the Dao Sect Li Dehe and others to gather in the Changchun Palace to verify the authenticity of the Taoist scriptures. The debate lasted for dozens of days, and as a result, except for the Tao Te Ching, the rest of the Taoist scriptures were judged to be apocrypha.
Shijiao urged the imperial court to order the burning of scriptures again, and Kublai Khan said: "Taoist scriptures, preaching and fallacy are not a day. If it is burned, its disciples may not be convinced. He said that water and fire can't be burned, but he thought it was a test. If it is not tested, it is not too late to burn it."
At this time, Kublai Khan was a bit of a Ximen leopard, and he ordered each of the Taoist sects to push one person to wear a talisman into the fire and "test his own skills". Zhang Zongyan and others panicked and admitted, "This is all nonsense." When the ministers enter the fire, they will be ashes, and they dare not try, but they beg to be burned and go to the Tao."
Kublai Khan then ordered that all Taoist scriptures be burned except for the Tao Te Ching, and forbade the Jiao Shrine and sent an envoy to obey it. In order to humiliate Taoism, the Buddha awarded the title of 'halal' to the True God Cult.
Prince Zhenjin likes Taoism more, so when it is implemented, he asks Lian Xixian and others to calm things down, and don't implement so much for the time being. Now that the situation has changed, Mingxin Zhenren is naturally very happy. After saying a few more words, Mingxin Zhenren asked how Dadu could raid the Cross Sect.
Although the prince also heard about some things, because it involved the matter of Hao Ren Wanhu, he just responded: "This matter has nothing to do with Daomen. β
The news I wanted to get was already there, and Mingxin Zhenren said goodbye. After returning to the sect, he immediately announced the news to the top management of the sect, and the mood of the top management also relaxed. Zhang Zongyan, the master of Zhengtian Day, sighed: "As long as the imperial court doesn't know about our propaganda defeat." β
Hearing this, the other Dao Gate high-level officials all showed some disdain. Religion itself is a cultural idea, but religious practice is a commercial activity. Where is there a pure white rabbit engaged in commercial activities. At the beginning of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Liberation of Buddhism almost destroyed Taoism, but then a fierce war broke out between the Great Yuan and the Great Song Dynasty in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty.
The Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan personally drove the expedition, and Zhao Jiaren, the Great Song Dynasty Lieutenant, personally led the troops. At this time, the two most powerful powers in the world, the two most powerful people, fought on both sides of the Yellow River.
There were 300,000 troops involved in the battle, and the technical content of the battle was unprecedented. The Song army even completed the feat of blocking the southward flow of the Yellow River and leading the Yellow River to the north. The people of Dayuan, including the Great Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan, were frightened by such a feat.
While other religions propagate the end of the world to make money, Taoism propagandizes Buddhism as an attempt to destroy Taoism, triggering the wrath of the heavens. The royal family of the Great Song Dynasty has always believed in Taoism, so it has been blessed by heaven's will.
His Majesty Kublai Khan has always been deeply affected by strange forces and gods, and the Mongols have won every battle. Suddenly suffering such a crushing defeat, it is natural to think that the blessings of the Rinpoches before the war are useless at all, and even think that the Rinpoches are completely useless. Hearing that the destruction of Taoism caused the wrath of heaven, Kublai Khan ordered not to burn the Taoist treasure for the time being.
The high-level Taoist family was very clear about their own affairs, and when they heard that Zhang Zongyan, the master of Zhengtian, had the intention of taking the opportunity to retreat, Qi Zhicheng, the master of Quanzhen, said angrily: "At this time, you need to continue to do your best. Although the demon monk of the Liberation Sect was hit, the heart of destroying the Dao did not waver in the slightest. A few days ago, Busbar was still talking about the debate. If we don't care, I'm afraid that it will be sooner or later. β
"But if I wait for someone to tell the story, will the Great Khan know? The Great Khan was a very intelligent man. Li Dehe, the head of the Great Dao, was a little hesitant about the specific operation.
Quan Zhen taught Qi Zhicheng with a resolute face, "It depends on whether what we are writing can be to the point." Mingxin Zhenren, how are you preparing? β
Mingxin Zhenren commanded, and it didn't take long for a person dressed as a Confucian to come in outside, and first salute the heads of the Daoist sect, and then he erected a wooden frame, hung up a picture, and then began to tell.
The royal family of the Great Song Dynasty has always respected Taoism, but during the Jingkang period, the Son of Heaven had no way, and when he passed by the Nusnail Temple, he saw that the great god Nuwa was extremely beautiful, and he had a lustful heart, so he mentioned obscene poems on the wall. When the great god Nuwa saw this, he was furious, calculated the number of days, and saw that the number of Great Song Qi was declining, so he ordered the thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox to come out of the mountain again. This nine-tailed fox is a disciple of the great god Nuwa, and has once turned into a banshee such as Daji and Bao Xi......
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Southern Song Dynasty, and the comet passed through the sky and did not disappear for several months. Originally, the Zhao family was in decline, but the Buddha was flourishing and wanted to destroy the Daomen. So the fortune of heaven flowed, and Zhao Jiaren, a monk of the Zhao family, came into the world. He has yin and yang eyes since he was a child, and he can observe luck, and when he saw the glow in the sea, he went into the water to look for it, and found three treasure boxes.
After opening, one is filled with the 'Dinghai God Needle', which is the treasure of Dayu when he controlled the water, and was used to measure the depth of the river. One of them is equipped with a 'mountain whip' to drive away the mountains and flatten the river. The third one is Jiang Ziya's treasure 'Innate Five Square Flag'. With this flag, the fog cannot be fogged and the night cannot be hidden, and the armies can be mobilized as they wish......
