Chapter 318 The Most Magical (1)
But Zheng Lang's words have no effect...
If you ask me to stand, I will stand, if you ask me to leave, I will leave. To put it nicely, I can't be attached to the appearance, and to make me feel bad, I can't be able to adjust me. Yihai was about to get up and leave, but Chong Xian still sat still, and said, "Master Zheng, when I left in Mingzhou, I found the book you wrote, the Doctrine of Me, and read it specially.
"That's a Confucian book."
"Are you not reading Buddhist sutras and etiquette now?"
"You must not see it."
"I don't have to see it myself."
Zheng Lang couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
He actually gave him a chance.
"I saw eight words in your book. Things can be stopped and overcorrect."
Not very true. Zheng Lang's mediocre mainly writes about adjusting with the times according to different situations and changes, but it is not impossible to say this. This horoscope is replaced by one, called change. No matter what you do, there is a degree. For example, the control of military generals by the Song Dynasty was called losing the degree. After all, it was the era of cold weapons. If they exploited their rights completely, how would the generals play a role? This was destined to be weak in the military.
Zheng Lang said: "Master, you are reasonable. If I don't know how to do it, then the one written on this paper is not Fu Yi's eleven, but Liandao Huichang's destruction of Buddha!!"
The six-character vomited, and the faces of several monks changed color again.
This is even more a huge pain in the history of Buddhism.
Wu Zetian raised Buddhism, not because Buddhism gave Wu Zetian the support of money and silk, but because of public opinion, and advocated the legitimacy of becoming an emperor for Wu Zetian. Then all Buddhism was out of control and the harm was serious. In fact, the harm of Buddhism in the Song Dynasty was also serious. Monks and nuns occupied the fields, the number of households fled, and the tax exemption were no less than that when Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was prosperous. However, the huge economy and population of the Song Dynasty made the harm of Buddhism in the Song Dynasty seem to be less serious.
Furthermore, what was more serious about the Song Dynasty was the redundant soldiers, officials and governments. The harms of these three were dozens of times greater than those caused by monks and nuns. Therefore, many historical experts ignored this important issue in the study of Song history.
This big rotten sore is nothing on the Song Dynasty, but it is in the pitiful economy of the Tang Dynasty. The harm is revealed immediately. Therefore, Li Jiao, Di Renjie, Xin Difu, Yao Chong, Li Shuming, and Han Yu all wrote to rebel against Buddha. It was not successful. Until Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty was invaded by Buddhism, he had to issue an edict saying that he would lay on the Jiuzhou Mountains, two capitals, monks and temples would be wider, and Buddhist temples would be prosperous. He worked hard on the merits of the trees and took advantage of people to take advantage of gold and treasures. He left his kings and relatives to teachers, violated spouses and decrees between precepts, and harmed people. He would not exceed this. Moreover, a man did not have a field, and some were hungry, a woman did not have silkworms, and some were cold. Today, there were countless monks and nuns, who were waiting for farming and food, and waited for silkworms and clothes. The temples and palaces were raised. No one knew that the record was that they all said that they were constructed and decorated, and they were usurped by the official house, Jin, Song, Liang and Qi, material resources were withered, and customs were defrauded, which caused them to be destined, and all caused them to be destined.
After the edict was issued, the Buddha began to be destroyed.
In fact, this history is not as open and upright as written in the edict. It is mainly because Emperor Wu of Tang, Li Yan, preferred Taoism, and Zhao Guizhen recommended Taoist priests #Zang Yuanqi, Liu Xuanjing and others to attack Buddhism in front of Emperor Wu of Tang, which caused this incident of destruction of Buddhism.
But it cannot be said that this edict has no effect.
It is not necessarily like the edict that one man does not have a field, some suffer from hunger, some suffer from silkworms, and some suffer from cold, society needs all kinds of people, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and the benign effect of religion is to influence the people, promote good and eliminate evil. But there is also a degree. If 400,000 people become monks and nuns, how can we bear the pitiful economic ability of the late Tang Dynasty? Even if it is influenced, there is no need for so many people. Under the backward productivity, it will inevitably have many far-reaching impacts, reducing grain production, taxation, labor, etc.
The incident of destruction of Buddhism was initiated because of the worship of Taoism, but this time the destruction of Buddhism was benign. In the second year of Huichang, Emperor Wuzong of Tang ordered the monks and nuns to return to secular life and confiscate property, and charge two taxes. In the fourth year, he ordered the destruction of less than 200 houses in the world and no quota. All temples that did not have the imperial edict, Lan Ruo, Buddhist temples, and all the monks and nuns returned to secular life, that is, all small and medium-sized temples and some temples that made the court dissatisfied. In April of the fifth year, the Ministry of Temples and Monkey Kings ordered the monks and nuns of the world to be investigated. In July, the two capitals and two streets were ordered to leave two temples, and each temple was given only 30 monks. Liu Ci, Zuo Street, Shangdu.
In Temple, Jianfu Temple, Ximing Temple, Zhuangyan Temple in Youjie Street, and Jiedushi, and the governors and observers of Huashangru, each of them had two temples, divided into three levels, with twenty monks and ten and five below, and the rest of the monks and nuns all returned to secular life. All non-reserved temples were demolished, bronze statues, bells and chimes were destroyed and coins were minted, iron statues were handed over to the states for agricultural instruments, and gold, silver and gems were sold for the Dudu. In August, it was announced that the world had 4,600 temples were demolished, and more than 260,000 monks and nuns were returned to the two tax households. They collected more than 40,000 houses, and thousands of hectares of fertile land were collected, and 150,000 slaves were collected.
This was the result of the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the separatist rule of the vassal states. Otherwise, Buddhism would have suffered a catastrophe this time. It was not until the late period of Emperor Zhenzong of Song that Buddhism gradually returned to the prosperous situation of Tianbao.
He said with difficulty again: "Master Zheng, if Buddhism is like that, Taoism will inevitably have new disadvantages."
It is very vague. This is like a wealthy family. Once it perishes, many gentry and wealthy families disappear. The new dynasty distributes land, but after the new dynasty is established, there will inevitably be many powerful people. Therefore, when the couples in the people quarrel, women complain that their husband-in-law does not have a good father-in-law and is a poor family. This is the reason. The father is Li Gang, and it will be easier for him to take office. For example, Han Yi's eight sons and Lu Yijian's four sons. No matter what religion, the people need religious beliefs, and the court also needs religion to assist the regime in public opinion. If they do not establish Buddhism, they must establish Taoism. Temples invade the fields, and Taoist temples do not invade the fields?
"That is, if you do that, you will destroy Taoism and support other religions. Anyway, Buddhism is an alien religion. Why can't you support White Hat Huihui (Islam), Blue Hat Huihui (Jewish), and Zoroastrianism? That is, there are many sects in your Buddhism. If you distinguish them, you can define several sects as evil sects, suppress the majority of sects, and establish small sects, and achieve the result of Wuchang's destruction of Buddhism."
"Donor, this is a mistake. Today, I will never sit idly by and let you do this..."
Hello, the emperor, I won’t let you do anything wrong.
"Yes, when a person is good, he will be bullied. Even the emperor will be bullied and have his own ideas. When the country is benevolent, foreign countries will invade. When the officials are benevolent, the people below will be unsatisfied. Monks are also humans. So I changed the land and blackmailed them on me. But I wonder if the emperor has this good temper after you have been bullied repeatedly?"
Resurrection changed color again. In fact, it was this good emperor who controlled the development of Buddhism for many reasons, which inflated and violated the interests of the literati and noble groups. Influenced by Liu E, Zhao Zhen was very disgusted with his father's worship of great gods in his later years. Buddhism had become a tumor of the country. So he later used some control measures, but because Zhao Zhen's personality was controlled to a certain extent and was not determined enough, Buddhism still became one of the major tumors of the Song Dynasty.
Not only the Song Dynasty, it also had a negative impact on the Khitan and the Western Xia. Only a few thousand soldiers of Aguda rebelled and quickly wiped out the Khitan. The achievements of Buddhism were of great significance.
According to the theory of re-expanding, there must be religious harm, and even the country will perish. But it is better to do it than not. No matter what, as long as it is benign, including the harm caused by Zhao Kuangyin's release of military power with a cup of wine, it established the foundation of the Song Dynasty for three hundred years, rather than the five dynasties and ten countries, which were constantly in war, and the people also got a precious time to rest in their health.
Those who are united must divide, and those who are divided must combine. This is the general trend, but it is definitely better to do it than not. This is Zheng Lang’s view and Confucian view.
Zheng Lang said again: "But you are right, things can be stopped and cannot be overcorrected. I have a degree in my heart, but it is impossible to just agree with my method of changing fields. Wouldn't I make people laugh? In fact, when I asked prostitutes to sing the white snake last year, you should have a clear idea in your heart. Why wait until today? But they actually invited you from Mingzhou. Do you want to invite all the monks in the world? I am not afraid, just come. The more you come, the more you will be, the more relaxed my degree will be."
As he spoke, he stroked the thick Buddhist scriptures and said, "I have nothing else to do, but I have a good memory. Although the time is short, I can still remember many Buddhist scriptures. The original meaning of Buddhism is to promote good and eliminate evil, and the original meaning of Mahayana is to save people in the world, so the power of Buddha's divine power is great compassion. I distinguish evil with the right. Even if the monks in the world gather together, I may not be able to distinguish it. Zen Master Chongxian, don't say too much, see you again on Chongyang. Come and see someone for someone."
If you don’t leave, you will be called on the guards outside to force you to leave.
I couldn't stay anymore, so I walked out of the bamboo house with depression.
The monks outside came over to ask, Chongxian shook his head and said, "I'm disappointing you."
He did not come to challenge Zheng Lang, but resolved it.
He could not go to the Double Ninth Festival Buddhist Association, so he shook his head and said, "If you want to agree to change the fields, you may not be able to do anything."
Zheng Lang finally realized that there was still a moderation, not really the time to break the dead, but this time is also relaxing as time disappears. If he wants to end, he must make more concessions.
A monk said, "I can tell if I distinguish, but I can't represent the court, so I'm afraid!"
Yi Hai shook his head and said, "Otherwise, you may not be able to win. If you don't say anything else, I played the piano all my life, and I dare not say that the piano skills are unparalleled in the world. Only a few people can beat me. But I have written a few new songs in my life? This is just one of the prefects, not only the piano music, but also poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting, moral articles, and the study of studying things. If he used all kinds of methods to cross the lake at the Double Ninth Festival, and if he did not need to distinguish, you would lose."
Don’t underestimate him. He is the only one behind him. He also represents the court behind him. He is also a pervert.
When I heard a lotus crossing the lake, all the monks were overshadowed.
Although he knew that Zheng Lang was pretending to be a god, what was the evidence? Only by trying to break the law and breaking the secret can he say that he was pretending to be a god, otherwise he would have great supernatural powers. Similar things have been done in Buddhism, and when they reach this point, they all know them.
"Let's let it go. He said he was in moderation, and according to his moderation, the other shore is the sea, and the other shore is also the shore." Yihai said again.
"Zen Master Yihai, then how can we make him satisfied? Besides, there are so many temples..." A monk wanted to stop talking. Without Zheng Lang's actions, some Buddhist monks also opposed the unsatisfactory actions of some monks in Buddhism. However, there are many Buddhist sects, and there is no unified management organization. If you don't listen to me, Zhang Da, I don't listen to you, Wang Er, let alone the whole country, there is no way to manage and command among various Buddhist temples in Hangzhou. Even if I let me not exchange the fields, can I hand them over? I don't want usury anymore. I can just treat it as a good thing. But I did it. If I don't do other temples, would I take a group of monks to beat them up to make them obedient?
Chongxian shook his head: "So I don't know what to do? We didn't talk much just now, but I listened to it. His proficiency in Buddhist scriptures is no less than that of any of you and me. I recalled carefully that he distinguished the actions of unworthy children in Buddhism. Even if he wanted to distinguish it, it would be difficult to distinguish black into white when facing him. It was even more difficult! Not only that, I was afraid of the court... "
It is impossible for Wuzong to destroy Buddhism, but if this incident alarms the court and counts the orders, the status of Buddhism will inevitably decline seriously. He sighed and said, "I am also attached to the appearance. Everyone, please do it yourself."
You are not afraid of distinguishing Buddha, but you have to occupy a principle to distinguish. Zheng Lang did not say it clearly, but wisdom is as clear as it is. How can you not know Zheng Lang's mentality? People distinguish the various evil deeds of unworthy children in Buddhism. How to distinguish and win? Could it be that the Buddha of Tathagata agreed that the children of Buddhism invade land, lend us money, and even like a very small number of bad disciples, commit adultery with good women and occupy the property of the people?
After saying that, leave.
I went back to Mingzhou. The water in Hangzhou was too muddy. He was very wise and could not get by.
Yi Hai was leaving too, so he asked several monks to pull them down.
Since Zheng Lang dared to pretend to be a god and blaspheme the Buddha, asking a monk to be unable to stop the situation, but Yihai has something to do with Zheng Lang. It is true that Yihai is Zheng Lang's elder. He is a Confucian disciple. He respects his teachers and respects his elders, but it is a necessary factor for Confucian disciples. It may be useful to stay.
Yikai said: "I can do nothing, otherwise I wouldn't have let him drive me out."
"This is related to the great plan of Buddhism, you can't sit still and watch."
Several monks tried their best to persuade them.
Zheng Lang listened to the guard's report in the bamboo house and smiled bitterly. But this is the real human relationship and worldly affairs. Everything is empty and cannot be taken seriously.
The Double Ninth Festival is coming, and Hangzhou is also becoming lively.
Not only Buddhists, but also Taoist people, but more scholars from the surrounding prefectures, they were very curious. Not only did they have the deeds of crossing the lake, but they were also the feats of Confucian disciples using Buddhist scriptures to distinguish Buddhist disciples. This matter may be recorded in history, so I also came to take a look.
Double Ninth Festival has not arrived yet, but the crowds coming from all directions in Hangzhou have already made people feel the upcoming tense atmosphere...
