Chapter 189: Ambition
The next day, Emperor Maude really invited Lingmeng Fan to the palace to give a lecture again.
When all the eunuchs and palace maids were repulsed, Ling Mengfan said directly: "The emperor wants the support of the Buddha Gate, but what can I get from the Buddha Gate." ”
"A chance." Maude Diji's voice was flat and full of confidence.
An opportunity.
Reimeng's crescent-like eyebrows frowned slightly, and she fell into deep thought.
Emperor Maude's so-called opportunity, Lingmeng Fan has already guessed. If the other party's conditions are agreed, the Buddhist plan can be held as scheduled. If you don't agree, the outcome is not easy to say.
Moreover, with the cooperation between the two sides, Emperor Maude will definitely say something good about Buddhism in the imperial court.
Although she has no background in the court, don't forget that Emperor Maode is Zhao Ji's most beloved daughter. If you can get the help of Emperor Maude, the follow-up development of Buddhism will definitely be much better. I don't dare to say that I can compete with the Daomen, but at least it can be easier to open the situation.
It's just that Lingmengfan thought of the words of Zen Master Wuming, and he still couldn't help frowning.
Wu Zetian!
Could it be that Emperor Maud really had such an idea?
She was in a somewhat messy mood, but quickly recovered from her mixed emotions. Now is not the time to consider what the ambitions of the Maude Emperor are, but to consider what benefits the Buddhists can gain from the Maude Emperor and what they need to pay.
Lingmeng Fan pondered for a moment and said, "What does the Buddha Sect need to pay?" ”
"When necessary, the Buddha Gate needs to support the decision of the main shrine. Soon after, the Emperor of the Imperial Palace would establish the Dao Si Fang, which was responsible for supervising all the sects and sects in the world, and establishing martial arts in all parts of the world. Maude Diji revealed a little bit of her plans for the future, and the seeds of ambition flashed in her fox-like eyes.
Although it was only a few plans, it was enough to shock Reimu.
She was dumbfounded, her lips muttering, and she didn't know what to say.
Not to mention what the meaning of Sifang is, just wanting to establish martial arts in all parts of the world is enough to make people crazy.
Martial arts, although Emperor Mao did not explain, what exactly is it for. But who is Reimu Fan, how could he not understand.
Martial arts must be similar to the current Guozijian and the academies in various places.
The only difference may be that the academy and the Guozijian only teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, but martial arts is the place where the cultivation method is taught.
But not to mention the difficulty and complexity of wanting to establish martial arts, even those Confucian disciples in the current court will definitely not agree to this matter.
After all, the Song Dynasty had the reputation of the emperor and the scholars sharing the world.
This was the era when scholars had the greatest power, and it was also the last glory and glory of Confucianism. As for Confucianism after the Song Dynasty, it is not so much Confucianism as a dog whose bones have been broken. For the bones of the master's reward, you can wag your tail and beg for mercy, and sell everything.
Lunatic!
Lingmengfan was silent for a long time, and made an evaluation of Emperor Maude in his heart.
Except for the madman, she no longer knew what to say, or even what to say.
Whether it is Dao Sifang or the creation of martial arts, it is undoubtedly against the people of the world and the families of the world. Even if it is a Buddhist sect, it would never dare to come up with such an idea.
Emperor Mao De saw Ling Mengfan's worries, and said confidently: "The fairy is worried about the opposition of the court and the obstruction of the people of the world?" ”
Reimu Fan bowed slightly, but did not speak.
This kind of thing, you don't need to think about it at all. The Great Song Dynasty suppressed the warriors all his life, even if the once famous General Di Qing was not suppressed by the Manchu Dynasty scholars and doctors, he was as miserable as a defeated dog, and finally died of depression in panic.
Whether it is the establishment of Daosifang or the establishment of martial arts, the significance to the Great Song Dynasty is very obvious.
But the impact on the scholars is equally obvious.
The Doctor of Scholars' control of the court will definitely not agree to this matter, and will never let the warriors rise, or even override the hundred officials.
Emperor Mao De played with the teacup and smiled, "If the Zhengyi Sect and the Quanzhen Sect also agree to this matter, what does the fairy think." ”
Zhengyi Religion, Quanzhen Teaching!
Reimeng Fan frowned and pondered.
If we can get the support of the Zhengyi Sect and the Quanzhen Sect, the chances of success in this matter will be much greater. After all, although the power of Confucianism is strong, Quanzhen and Zhengyi are not vegetarians. Moreover, there is no shortage of people from the two religions in the court, and if they join forces, those so-called scholars may not be able to bear it.
However, Emperor Maud was so confident that Quanzhen and Zhengyi would agree.
No, they will definitely agree, and they will strongly support it.
Reimu Fan thought, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.
Dao Sifang, supervising the rivers and lakes.
Martial arts, teaching the people of the world martial arts.
Taking control of Dao Sifang is equivalent to having the right to supervise the various sects in the rivers and lakes.
And if you control martial arts, you can expand the influence of the two religions, and even further infiltrate the court.
There are many smart people in the two religions, and they will not fail to see this great benefit. Even if they knew that the imperial court had other intentions, they would definitely not refuse.
And if the two sects want to intervene, they will definitely collide with the scholars in the court.
Lingmengfan quietly glanced at the smiling Emperor Maode, and suddenly felt a little chill in his heart. Did she come up with it herself, or was someone teaching her behind her back. If she came up with a plan to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger herself, this person really can't be underestimated in the future.
Emperor Maud smiled and said, "I wonder what the fairy thinks?" ”
Reimeng Fan came back to his senses and understood that Emperor Maud's previous words were not only a temptation, but also a threat.
If Buddhism is unwilling to compromise, she can naturally find Taoism to cooperate, and Buddhism will inevitably be excluded from this power game.
She bowed her head and said: "Good, the emperor loves Buddhism so much, how can we not be interesting." In the future, if the emperor orders me again, I only need to send someone to inform me. The concubine has reached an agreement with the Zen master to represent most of the Buddhist sect. ”
Emperor Maude's smile became more and more kind, but in Lingmengfan's eyes, it was like a little fox who had stolen a chicken, full of malice.
After this negotiation, Buddhism soon reached a series of agreements with Maude Deji.
Of course, these things must not be left on paper, and even only a few Buddhist monks know about them. Externally, Buddhism is still pure, and it does not interfere in the transcendent organization of anything in the court.
Time passes in this delicate atmosphere.
Without waiting for Tian Yan to find out the specific plans of the Buddha's door, the water and land puja has officially begun. Although some of the monks have gone, the scale of the monks gathered now is still a rare scene in the past thousand years.
This event was quite lively, and even exceeded the scale of the Zhengyi Church in Jinling.
Of course, the most important reason for this is because Kaifeng is the first male city in the world, with a population of millions, far from being comparable to the hundreds of thousands of people in Jinling.
