Chapter 230: Zhenguo Temple and National Teacher Liu Xiu

It has been six years since Wang Mang went from a fake emperor to a real emperor.

And recently, there has been a rebellion among the people, and he is really depressed, and he doesn't understand where he has not done his job.

Six years ago, under the guidance of a holy monk, he used the words of the Fu Ming Wei to force the children to let Zen, and since then he has become the master of this country, the crown is the Son of Heaven, the founding of the country is new, and Chang'an is changed to Chang'an.

In the year he became emperor, he began to reform the system of the world in accordance with the Datong world described by Zhou Li.

The Tianxia field was changed to Wang Tian, and the private field was replaced by Wang Tian, and the well field system was restored.

The slaves and maids were renamed private belongings, and like Wang Tian, they were not allowed to be bought and sold.

He also reformed the currency system and the official system several times, and the salt and iron were taken into official camps, and the mountains and rivers were nationalized.

At the same time, rest with the people in order to seek peace and security for the country.

But I didn't expect these reforms to see any results, and the world became more and more chaotic, and rebellions continued.

For this reason, he listened to the guidance of the holy monk and built Buddhist temples in the world to relieve the suffering of the people, and then the rebellion was naturally eliminated.

This proved to be useful, and the rebellions in various parts of the country were quelled, the disasters were much less, and the world was peaceful.

Wang Mang felt that the prosperous era of Zhou Lizhi that he longed for was coming.

But for some reason, there has been another rebellion in recent times.

In addition to being bored, Wang Mang came to the Dazhenguo Temple located outside Chang'an City to meet the holy monk Jiaye from the Western Buddhism.

Because of the flood in Chang'an and the chanting ceremony in the White Horse Temple, he originally had a grudge against Buddhism.

But later, after an in-depth exchange with Kasya, his impression of Buddhism changed.

First of all, the flood in Chang'an that year was done privately by the Venerable Ananda, not at the behest of the Buddha of Buddhism.

The second and most important thing is that the Western Elysium depicted by Kasa is very similar to the world of great harmony that he aspires.

And what made him look forward even more was that Elysium was obviously better than the Datong World, because there was eternal life there.

Kasaba demonstrated his supernatural powers and told him that as long as he could spread the Dharma throughout the Southern Ganbu Continent, he would be able to become king in the future when he went to Elysium.

So he and Kaya became like-minded friends and often came to ask for advice.

At this time, in a meditation room in the backyard of Zhenguo Temple, the two sat opposite each other.

Wang Mang said, "Holy monk, my system is good, and your Dharma is also good, why are there still people in the world rebelling?" ”

Kaye smiled, "Because everyone's mind is different, there will always be people who are dissatisfied with their desires. ”

"So what should I do?"

"The Dharma can influence those who are dissatisfied, and if there is a rebellion, it means that the Dharma has not reached there, and we must build more temples."

"I see."

After some conversation, listening to the peaceful Sanskrit sound and bells, Wang Mang's heart was much more settled.

Later, he listened to the teachings of the Dharma and heard the subtleties of the teachings, and he planned to return tomorrow.

But in the middle of the night, a captain of Fenwu came to report.

"Captain Fenwu?" Wang Mang couldn't think of who it was for a while.

The accompanying eunuch carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, it is ...... It's the ...... of holding Jinwu."

Only then did Wang Mang remember that he had changed his name to Zhi Jinwu some time ago, and Zhi Jinwu had the responsibility of guarding the Son of Heaven and guarding the capital.

Soon, Captain Fenwu came in to report: "Your Majesty, some spies have discovered that Liu Xiu, the national teacher, has been in close contact with some Liu clan relatives recently, and it seems that he has a plan. ”

"Liu Xiu?" Wang Mang frowned.

Before he became emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, he served as Huangmenlang, and Liu Xin, who managed the Han Dynasty collection at that time, was also Huangmenlang, and the two formed a deep friendship.

Later, he rose step by step above the court, and Liu Xin and his father Liu Xiang made great achievements in the classics of classics and history, and Liu Xin became a master of revitalizing ancient literature and classics, and was a famous Confucian.

After he became the Great Sima, he continuously promoted Liu Xin, and finally made Liu Xin both a marquis and a doctor of Guanglu.

During this period, Liu Xin also changed his name to Liu Xiu.

And after changing his name, Liu Xiu did not live up to his trust, not only providing strategies, but also using ancient scriptures to earn him a big reputation, helping him to build a new Han dynasty with a righteous name.

It can be said that even without the support of Buddhism, he has the confidence to ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven.

After he became emperor, he paid more attention to Liu Xiu and named him a national teacher.

When he followed Zhou Li's system reform of the world, Liu Xiu, the great Confucian of the time, helped him a lot.

Now that he heard that Liu Xiu had close contacts with some Liu clan relatives, Wang Mang immediately became suspicious.

Because half a year ago, Liu Xiu's son was good at making proverbs with others, and he cut off his head.

And the talisman is a symbol of the mandate of heaven, and he used the talisman as the basis to successfully seek a great position.

Thinking of this, Wang Mang said in a deep voice: "Go and find out!" ”

After Captain Fenwu left, Wang Mang didn't have the heart to continue listening to Jiaye's teachings, and returned to Chang'an overnight.

Kaye was sent outside the Zhenguo Temple, and the smile on his face disappeared as he looked at the distant convoy.

After all these years of communication, he has recognized Wang Mang's ability.

This person's name is too real, and he is always unrealistic and idealistic in doing things.

However, for Buddhism, this is not a bad thing, but it is beneficial to the transmission of the Dharma.

Therefore, when he supported Wang Mang, he did not deliberately make changes, but just pushed the boat along the river and used Buddhist beliefs to help Wang Mang quell the rebellion in the world.

And when the people have experienced suffering, they will understand the preciousness of the Dharma, so that there are more followers of Buddhism.

"Amitabha, good, good." Kaye recited the Buddha's name in his heart, turned around and returned to the temple.

On the other side, after Wang Mang returned to Chang'an, it was already dawn the next day.

Captain Fenwu came to report again: "Your Majesty, the minister has found out that it was An Dinggong who used blood as ink, wrote an edict, sewed it in the belt of his clothes, and secretly gave it to the national teacher Liu Xiu. ”

When Wang Mang heard this, he immediately sneered: "What a Liu Xiu!" ”

Anding Gong is the title he gave to his children, and his position as the son of heaven was given by the children.

What do you want to do now to make a blood edict?

Apparently trying to rebel against him!

Who is the mastermind?

Wang Mang knew that it was definitely not Liu Ying's son, because Liu Ying was only twelve years old now, and he had only been the crown prince of the Han Dynasty for three years, and he was imprisoned by him at the age of four, cutting off communication with the outside world.

Now that the child is a fool who doesn't know the six animals and can't speak clearly, what kind of blood edict can he write!

So the mastermind must be the national teacher Liu Xiu!

After all, Liu Xiu is also a relative of the Liu family, and it is passed down from Liu Jiao, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and his son was cut down by him, the son of heaven, and if he holds a grudge, he will indeed plot to rebel.

At this time, Captain Fenwu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister also found a prophecy. ”

Wang Mang's eyes froze, and he hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Captain Fenwu said: "Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven." ”

Wang Mang's face changed.

Nowadays, the common people believe in the words of the proverbs, and once there are any prophecies, the people will spread quickly.
