"What the minister said about being unwilling to sit still does not mean that Buddhism will rebel against the imperial power." Jiang Mian sighed lightly: "Your Majesty also said, Buddhism is best at demagogy, now the famous mountains and ancient temples are standing there, every move of Buddhism can not escape His Majesty's eyes, but Your Majesty uses this method to destroy Buddha, those monks for the inheritance of Buddhism, will inevitably turn light into darkness, and secretly develop believers in the people, over time, maybe Buddhism will become a cult, become a tumor that is difficult to get rid of in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Houwei was stunned, what he said was reasonable......

The people of the Chinese nation are kind and simple, they have no stubborn faith, but they are extremely easy to be bewitched, the reason why this is so is because the difficulties of life cause them to listen to and believe partially, or to put it simply, they do not believe in their hearts, but for a certain thought, they will self-hypnotize and force themselves to believe.

To put it bluntly, a cult is a match, and it will ignite the most primitive selfish desire in the bottom of the heart, and the stronger the cult's demagogic power and incitement force, the more fierce the fire of desire will burn after it is ignited!

For example, the White Lotus Sect, the Tianli Sect, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which started with faith, and even the famous *** in later generations, etc.

As soon as Jiang Mian said this, Zhu Houwei knew that his consideration was not thorough again.

Buddhism represents a kind of thought, and thought is also the most stubborn and difficult to eliminate, which is why Zhu Houwei needs a large number of Confucian scholars to immigrate to Europe.

Because Europe is different from Australia and the Americas, Europe has a complete ideological system, and many philosophers have been born in history, and the ideas of these sages have given birth to civilization in Europe, plus there is a behemoth like Christianity, if there is no strong cultural force to suppress it, then unless you play genocide, you will immigrate to the past, and the ghost will know whether to assimilate Europe or be assimilated by Europe.

Buddhism has taken root in China for 1,500 years, has already established deep roots, and has a large number of non-pure faith believers in the people.

"It seems that I am indeed underthinking." Zhu Houwei smiled to hide his embarrassment.

However, this sentence shocked the spirit of the elders present!

It's been six years! It's been six years!

Emperor Jiajing, who was wise and powerful, was finally willing to admit his mistake in front of his courtiers!

Have there ever been before? If you think about it, it doesn't seem to be ......

This is a great victory, a victory that will go down in history!

Zhu Houwei's heart is also depressed, and he does feel that he is a little too radical, think about it, Confucianism, which has ruled Chinese thought for more than 2,000 years in later generations, has withdrawn from the historical stage, but Buddhism is still prosperous, how can this be described by two words?

"That being the case, then the monks are not obliged to return to the laity, but the monks do not have the right to tax exemption!" Zhu Houwei snorted coldly: "If they don't produce, they don't contribute to the Ming Dynasty, why should they be exempt from taxes!" And also...... The major temples have a lot of land, how did this land come about?

Some are giving, some are tax avoidance, and more are mergers!

Buddhism, which is supposed to help the world, has become a place where usury is used to steal the people's land, and the means are fierce, and they are even stronger than the Hao! ”

"Your Majesty is only afraid of ...... in this move"

"There's nothing to be afraid of!" Zhu Houwei said slightly angrily: "Let go of the wind, just say that because of the case of the Wind and Thunder Temple, I am angry with the entire Buddhism, and I intend to destroy the Buddha in the world, order all the monks in the world to return to the world, and raze all the temples in the world, but under the persuasion of the cabinet Aiqing, the idea of destroying the Buddha was dispelled, but it must be taxed, so I said that I originally planned to collect the sesame oil tax and the incense tax, and then I was persuaded by you Aiqing, so only the monk tax and land tax were collected!"

Several important ministers looked at each other, and finally took a deep breath at the same time, the emperor's hand was really ruthless!

Of course, several important ministers don't think that this is the emperor wanting to endorse the minister, that's nonsense, the reason why the emperor did this is to clean up Buddhism.

First give Buddhism a result that is simply unacceptable, and when Buddhism intends to fight or seek a way out, then throw out another strategy!

If the strategy thrown out of the back is thrown out directly, it is estimated that the Buddhism in the whole world is still difficult to accept, but there is the destruction of the Buddha in the front...... There doesn't seem to be anything unacceptable.

This technique is too familiar to the elders, because the emperor has not played it once, and it seems that he is already perfect!

Zhu Houwei suddenly sighed softly: "Buddhism is a foreign religion, but in just over a thousand years, temples have blossomed everywhere and become the first religion in China, which shows its strong ability to deceive people."

The poor people of China yearn for a better life and hope that they can become masters, but there is no way to change their fate, so they will seek spiritual sustenance.

The Buddhism's theory of living in the world and cultivating the next life is just in line with the purest belief in the hearts of these poor people, making them feel that as long as they can sincerely worship the Buddha, then even if the Buddha does not respond to his request, he will definitely take more care of the people who worship the Buddha when he is reincarnated in the next life, so as to have a good rebirth.

This is the most powerful part of Buddhism, because Buddhism knows that if you cultivate this life and respond to your needs, then the lie is too easy to be exposed.

Once the lies are frequently exposed, there will be a large loss of believers, and it is clear that this is difficult for Buddhism to accept, so the teachings of Buddhism are born as the mainstay.

Who can know whether the next life is good or bad, so this is where the world is ignorant, according to the mythological system of Shenzhou, after death, people have to walk the Nai He Bridge and drink Meng Po soup, but once they drink Meng Po soup, everything in this life will be forgotten, so what does the luck of the next life have to do with the sorrow of this life?

It doesn't matter, it can't be verified, this is the foundation of Buddhism's ability to fool the people, and I don't mean that we must completely deny the concept of Buddhism, after all, many words in some classic classics of Buddhism still contain profound meanings and can be thought-provoking.

Therefore, I said before that I wanted to destroy the Buddha, but what I wanted to destroy was a fake Buddha who was greedy and cruel in the name of the Buddha, and only knew how to fool the people.

I also believe that there are still many virtuous monks in this world, these monks are compassionate, universal sentient beings, will save the people from fire and water, and will spread kindness!

But there are too few such high monks, and even if there are, they are old monks who have been immersed in Buddhism all their lives, and young monks may have so-called Buddha nature, but how many of them can there be among the ten thousand young monks? It's just a rarity, not enough! ”

"Your Majesty can see through the essence of the Buddha at a glance, and I admire it to the extreme!."

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "It's useless to talk too much, just do what I said before, I just hope that Buddhism can do it well!"

"Your Ministers obey!"
