Chapter 983: The public opinion offensive has won or lost

Today's Ciyun Temple has undergone Gao Jingfei's changes, it is a famous jungle, the abbot of the temple Zhitong monk is strict, the monks are very good, Emei and others are difficult to find out what is wrong.

The Huashan faction is even more deep in the mountains and rarely comes out, and after some cleaning by the Agni Dao people, those who can stay are not treacherous and evil, not to mention virtue and pure goodness, at least they don't disdain evil.

However, if you really pick bones in the egg and look at people with a magnifying glass, it is still possible to find some omissions, but those are inconsequential small problems, and they can't be put on the table.

Since it is morally impossible to attack, the opponent will inevitably have to engage in some subordinate means.

In addition to providing some resources, the biggest advantage is that it is convenient to expand its influence and facilitate Xianmen to collect disciples in the mortal world.

Therefore, although Emei did not do the same scale as a certain temple, lay disciples are all over the rivers and lakes, but their power in the world is not small, and Emei is not taking the route of rivers and lakes, but has a relationship with the Jiangnan gentry early.

Could it really be the rumored golden light fiery sword to refine Miaoichi?

Gao Jingfei scoffed at this, can't the sword refining be practiced there? Wouldn't it be better to refine the sword in the Emei Cave Heavenly Blessed Land?

Most of the time it is to suppress the situation in the East China Sea, so that those southeastern maritime merchants can conduct maritime trade business without paying taxes more safely, and make a lot of money one by one.

Therefore, in the face of his own declining situation, Emei, who has a relationship with the gentry in the southeast, also learned the tricks of Dr. Qingliushi, and carried out a public opinion attack on Wutai and Huashan.

And the force behind Emei also chose to take action at this time, cooperating with Emei to launch a public opinion offensive.

In the Shushan world, since the Han Dynasty crossed to the east, the power of Buddhism has spread rapidly throughout the Middle Earth, especially in the Jin and southeast regions.

The Buddhist temple of Wutai Mountain is well-known in the world, and the Zen temple founded by Bodhidharma is the landlord of Henan Province for thousands of years, and the influence on the world, it is the most prosperous Buddhism in the southeast.

After thousands of years of development, the Buddhism in the southeast area reached the period of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Jin dynasties, and the scale of the so-called 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty was expanded by 100 times.

The so-called sin of wanting to add, what is the problem?

Since you can't find the sins of Ciyun Temple, then I will impose a list of charges on you, and when the time comes, you will not be the same.

Just as the Taoist doctrine of "refining the false becomes true", artificial public opinion guidance can also distort the facts, and tens of millions of people say that this is true, which may really become a reality, resulting in a deflection of luck.

As a result, the people of Middle Earth began to spread that the evil demons led by the Huashan and Wutai factions wanted to harm the world, and Emei and Buddhism were righteous teachers full of benevolence and morality, and came to crusade against the evildoers who did many evils.

It can be seen that although Emei and others are not those Qingliu scholars who are good at making public opinion attack, that kind of routine is still played clearly.

Gao Jingfei, who learned the news, laughed in his heart, this is after the failure of the first sword fight, the Emei side couldn't find a way to fight the rise of the side door for a while, so they wanted to launch this kind of public opinion offensive.

Of course, he would not let the other party succeed, and said to the immortals who came to discuss:

"It seems that Emei and Buddhism are really in a hurry!"

"This is easy to do, please watch it, everyone!"

After speaking, he opened the portal and went to the imperial palace in the Forbidden City, where he met with the emperor and Wei Zhongxian.

Soon, in the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty, it was reported that a certain temple in a certain place was banned by the government for hiding dirt and dirt, a certain temple encroached on private land and killed tenants and was held accountable by the local government, and a certain local government protected the temple and forced people to die with usury, and several local officials involved were locked by Jinyi Wei.

For a time, the people of Middle-earth had a lot of discussions about this, many people were angry at the illegal behavior of those temples, and some of the original believers were also disgusted at this time, and there was no shortage of local officials and scholars who wrote to the imperial court, saying that they hoped to be able to clear the temples of the world and clean up the Buddha's door.

Of course, there are also many civil officials and scholars who support Buddhism to refute it.

However, the world's scholars are not of the same mind, there are so-called "farming and reading heirlooms" of wealthy families, naturally there are also poor students, and even many military families or poor families from the scholars, and the latter two actually occupy the majority in terms of numbers.

In this way, there is no shortage of voices that speak for the poor people, and the Ming Dynasty in the past did not have this kind of voice, but since the two emperors of Taizu and Chengzu, the civil officials and doctors have become bigger because they have lost their suppression, and they will naturally press down this voice.

But now the factory and health departments representing the imperial power choose to stand on the lower side and support these people's voices, and the emperor is also willing to listen to the demands of the people, instead of being deaf and blind as he once was, and only knowing what others let him know.

Under the emperor's intentional or unintentional attitude, there is naturally a group of officials who are willing to stand on the emperor's side to confront those Qingliu, whether they are sincere for the country and the people, or take advantage of this to seek promotion opportunities, which is a benign promotion for the country.

In this way, the stagnant water of the Ming Dynasty came back to life, the situation of the country began to reverse, taxes were increased, and the people became richer day by day.

Under the propaganda of such a Ming court, the Buddhism side was first stinky, if you are slandered, some people will try to prove their innocence, but those pickled things that have been exposed are basically real cases, which makes some people can't even wash the floor for them, and they can't wash it.

After this kind of thing broke out, the original spread of Emei Buddhism against the evil demons was naturally questioned, and at the same time, the Ming Dynasty and the three provinces of Beijing also began to carry out the action of clearing the monks of the Liberation Gate, this time even if there were local gentry and officials to maintain it, it was not easy to use, and soon a lot of dirt and dirt were found.

After half a year's inventory, more than 500 monasteries were banned, and more than 2,000 monasteries were ordered to return the land they had encroached upon to the people and to recover the illegal gains from usury. And that's not even counting the monasteries that were only punished with minor punishments.

After all, monks have been lending money to operate money shops and other transactions since ancient times, and real money is in front of them, and there are very few people who can keep the bottom line after all.

Not to mention that the temples that lend money are all bad, but nine out of ten are definitely not wrong.

Just think about the people who run usury in modern society. In ancient times, when there were no perfect laws, usurers were definitely the kind who ate people and did not spit out bones, otherwise they would not be able to do this kind of business without approval for having sons.

Not to mention the behavior of those sharp silver fathers and daughters and encroaching on people's land to force people to sell their sons and daughters, maybe some of them were just farmers themselves at the beginning, but people's greed is endless, for the oppression of tenants, those compassionate monks are not at all more merciful than the landlord Lao Cai, some are more vicious.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
