Before coming to the palace, Yifeng had already thought of all kinds of wording to deal with Cui Ming's shirk. But he really didn't expect that the Great Wu Emperor mentioned by Cui Ming would anger Confucianism because of his failure to persuade him, which would cause a new tragedy.

Shuli was familiar with the classics, he often talked to them, and Yifeng also knew that in history, during the reign of the Wei family, there were indeed tragic incidents.

During that period, it was also the time when the development of Buddhism and Taoism was in full swing, and the ministers, officials, and strategists of Confucianism all advised Emperor Wu to use Buddhism and Taoism as a foreign "nonsense" to establish demonic teachings, corrupt and incite the people, and collapse the orthodox morality, three outlines and five constants, and the system of etiquette and music in the Dawu Empire.

Among them, the prime minister at that time was particularly fierce, pointing to the sky, crying Li Min, and even carrying the coffin to the palace, and admonishing Emperor Wu to death, causing shocks inside and outside the court.

At that time, Emperor Dawu was furious, furious, and angrily judged that Confucianism and Taoism were narrow-minded and intolerant, and even dared to force each other to death, endangering the imperial power. Therefore, he issued an edict to behead the prime minister, burn the Confucian classics, demolish the private school of the Confucian Academy, and then kill all the dead admonishers, so as to uphold the emperor's prestige!

Next is the famous historical "Confucianism burning" incident, which caused countless Confucian students and court officials in the world to flee one after another, or escape into the mountains and forests, or into Taoism, and even some people did the opposite, directly into the empty door, the world is chaotic, this is the real Confucianism wind destroys, birds and beasts scattered.

It was also at that time that the calligrapher was disgusted with the strong oppression of the imperial court, and was coerced by the interests of the three religions, and moved his family to the barren mountains of Yunzhou, which later became the Mountain of No Return.

At the beginning, the name of the mountain did not return, there was the intention of the calligrapher to fly to the sky and pick up the stars, and the saint did not return, and there were also calligraphers who were disheartened and did not ask about the affairs of the government and the opposition and did not return to the wish of Vanity Fair.

Another significant sign of this vigorous Confucian tragedy is that the imperial court no longer set up the position of prime minister, and Confucianism has the talent to revitalize the country and rejuvenate the country, and it is named the pillar country, so as to lead Confucianism to assist the king and be the pillar of the Great Wu State.

Cui Ming, as the pillar country of this generation, is still favored, not only as the pillar country, but also as the "Great Pillar State", but also for the world's side, the contemporary Dawu Emperor Wei Yu, and also named him the only king with a different surname in the Dawu Empire, breaking the tradition of the Dawu Empire "no national merit without a different surname".

Of course, Cui Ming also knew that all this was not easy to come by, not only because he and Emperor Wu of the current dynasty grew up together and had a deep relationship, but also because of his achievements in running Confucianism for many years.

Therefore, he knows Emperor Wu's mind best, but at this time, he knows that Emperor Wu's heart is obedient to the Queen Mother, and only the Queen Mother's intentions are obedient. At such a time, how could he dare to provoke Emperor Wu's scales?

Moreover, Emperor Wu was already disturbed by the chaos of the three sects, and he couldn't deal with it calmly at this moment, and if he was a little negligent, everything he had gained over the years would be ruined.

But what he said was not entirely false, and as the leader of Confucianism, he could not ignore their lives and be careful to protect them from another tragedy.

Thinking of this, Ichikaze fell into deep thought.

The cool breeze passed through the Biluoxuan in the center of the lake, and the tea was cold, but no one drank it anymore.

After a while, Yifeng said: "King Cui, the younger generation is anxious, and he is indeed too unfamiliar with the situation in Junzhou, so he is so abrupt, please forgive me." However, the Dawu royal family was besieged, and assisting the king was also the right way of Confucianism, and it was a feat of opening peace for all generations. ”

Cui Ming thought for a while, looked at him intently and said, "How are you doing?"

Yifeng blurted out: "The younger generation has thought about it for a long time, and secretly thinks that if you follow the Buddhist path, the only way to cut off the interests of Buddhism is to cut off the interests of Buddhism: one policy, in order to deal with the current crisis, we should order the Buddhist temples in the world to open warehouses and release grain, help the victims, and return to the essence of Buddhism and compassion;

"The second policy, to abolish the monk household system, formulate the temple field and mu regulations, with the temple population as the number, keep the corresponding acres of land, self-cultivation, and the rest of the land is returned to the state, distributed to the people, so as to support the people;

"Three policies, the establishment of a monastery tax system, the gentry charity incense and other money, into the tax, set up a special official supervision, faith and interests separation, and Buddhism is pure. ”

After he said this, Cui Ming showed a look of surprise, and Yuqiuni also looked at Yifeng in shock.

She had never faced up to Yifeng's determination, and even this time, Yifeng offered to come to see King Cui, she didn't realize that Yifeng had really thought about it, and he had thought about it so deeply.

Indeed, from the remote Qingshan Temple on the border of Yunzhou to the mansion of the Confucian Holy King, which is admired by the world in Junzhou City, Yifeng came along the way and saw too many people burdened by the temple, life and death, bloody and brutal, hardships and suffering.

He understood that the development of Buddhism had deviated from the right track, and under the guidance and influence of Master Zhiran, he had been thinking about how to bring the Buddha's sect back to the right path.

He finally came up with the three strategies of the Buddha's path, but he felt that now was the beginning of the long night of the Buddha's path, no matter what, the implementation of these three strategies would not quench his thirst, and it would be of some use to the Buddha's path.

So sometimes, the little senior sister Xiugu looks at herself and feels that there is often a different temperament in him, and this vigorous vitality is called growth.

The long night forced the wandering people to desperately find the way and hurry forward.

Cui Ming's eyes flashed, pondered for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "To be honest, since I saw you, I have always regarded you as a junior, as for what Yan Yu said side by side with me, it is actually a joke in my heart."

"However, from what you just said, I suddenly realized that maybe you are so young now, but as long as you wait for opportunities and experiences, you will definitely catch up with us. It's nice to be young. ”

His tone changed and he said, "Although the three strategies you just mentioned are not perfect, they are enough to attract the attention of Emperor Wu, and they can basically solve the current problems.

"In this way, this king first discussed with the imperial historian in the court, and the imperial historian had the duty of supervision, so that he would advise on his behalf, and not involve the conflict between the three religions, and Emperor Wu might be able to wake up.

"But I must tell you that I am not for your so-called Buddhahood, but for the salvation of all peoples. Buddhism, in my opinion, is still the first evil that poisons the people!"

Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this was the best step Cui Ming could try, and before that, he couldn't even expect to be received by him in his heart.

Yuchuni said: "King Cui, in this way, on behalf of the tens of thousands of disaster victims in the world, thank King Cui for his kindness." Originally, there was no conflict between their respective beliefs, and the conflict was only worldly interests. It is hoped that after this incident, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism will be able to return to their ways for the benefit of all people. Amitabha. ”

Yifeng and Yuchuni clasped their hands together at the same time, saluted solemnly, and then took their leave.

Cui Ming stood in Biluoxuan, looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, the light in his eyes flowed, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he was speechless for a long time.

Outside the palace, on the street of Chongxianfang.

Yuchuni turned sideways and asked Yifeng, who was walking next to him and was one position behind, "Yifeng, have you ever been disappointed?"

Yifeng said: "Uncle Shi, no, I know that King Cui has tried his best, and I'm not without gains. ”

Liao Yu nodded and said: "As a first-class important minister of the Dawu Imperial Court and the Taiwei, it will be effective for him to come forward." Do you want to go to the national teacher next?"

Yifeng nodded, and his tone was firm: "To save all people, it should not stay in the mouth, but in the feet." Although there is a great doctor of imperial history, it may not be able to make Emperor Dawu make up his mind, and there should be a national teacher to help. If you find one more person, you will have more hope, and what the victims are waiting for at this time may be our hope that seems to be nothing. ”

Liao Yu took a deep breath: "Okay, let's go meet the Great Martial National Master!"

Junzhou City, Yuntai, deep in the palace of Emperor Dawu.

In the depths of the huge and complex Dawu Emperor's Palace, a Buddhist hall suddenly appeared, and as far as the eye can see, in the courtyard of the Buddhist hall, there is a row of more than ten zhang high scriptures, which are actually made of gold as a whole, and the scriptures are engraved with dense Buddhist scriptures.

And the corridor and wall outside the Buddha hall, carved with a very fine thousand Buddha statues, the top of the arcade, are painted with gold powder to decorate the legendary story of the Buddhist scriptures, the golden pillars and red glazed tiles, but also this Buddha hall to add a solemn atmosphere like the Buddha country.

People inside and outside the Buddha hall, are all dressed in blue-gray plain clothes maids, at the moment are busy in and out, in the Buddha hall, thousands of Buddha lamps stand like a pagoda, the golden Buddha statue on the opposite side is towering, the surrounding is gorgeously decorated, all are Bodhi Buddha flowers, Baolian auspicious clouds, splendid Buddha statues, red, yellow and green, gorgeous and gorgeous.

In the room on the left side of the Buddha hall, there was an old lady lying on the high bed one year, and there were many small Buddha statues carved everywhere on the bed, and even the brocade quilt was covered with the swastika of the Buddha Gate.

But at this time, the old lady's face was very gray, her eyes were eager, and she sighed with her hand and grabbed a man sitting on the edge of the bed in a yellow robe embroidered with a golden dragon to speak.

It is the Queen Mother and the current Emperor Dawu.
