Chapter 211 Arrow on the String
Yang Guang's policies benefited the lower classes and were unanimously recognized by the people, but this seriously damaged the interests of the aristocratic families.
Yang Guang's move is simply an enemy of the world.
Cihang Jingzhai used the trick of choosing Emperor in Luoyang, which was simply slapping Yang Guang in the face.
Yang Guang's counterattack was also very simple. After stabilizing the new control area, Yang Pan directly confiscated the temple's temple property. The reason is that your Buddhism emphasizes that all four elements are empty. Since they are empty, what kind of temple property is needed? It is better to share it with the poor people.
Then the taxes were received on the monk's head. The reason was very simple. Even the noble officials and gentry of aristocratic families had to pay taxes and food. Can you monks be exceptions?
Don’t use the excuse of being a family. This is the king’s land. All under the world is the king’s land. The shores of the land are the king’s ministers. On my territory, we must abide by the rules. As long as we are an individual, we must pay taxes, and heavy taxes!
Finally, the Buddha statues in the temple were replaced with stone, because there were too many poor people in the world and monks were compassionate, so these bronze statues were donated to the people in the world to do good deeds.
Yang Guang's doing is simply extraordinary.
Buddhism is completely thrust.
If Yang Guang really wants to do this, it is even more cruel than Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou to destroy Buddhism!
Losing its source of income, only a few monks who practiced asceticism could survive by relying on self-sufficiency, and most monks had to return to secular life.
There are countless public opinion in the world similar to Yang Guang's cruelty and incorruptible public opinion.
But Yang Guang didn't care at all.
Buddhism knew the reason, and they did the same thing as choosing emperor on behalf of the heavens, and it was obvious that they would not regard Yang Guang as the emperor.
This is challenging the sensitive nerves of the world.
This move by Buddhism, coupled with the appearance of Heshi Bi, has indeed aroused the interest of many ambitious people.
However, it also aroused the disgust of traditional schools of thought such as Confucianism.
"Damn, we were not so arrogant when the Hundred Schools of Medicine were heard back then. You, an alien religion, were so arrogant. This is not taking us seriously at all."
There must be such ideas, and there are quite a few.
As a result, Yang Guang's resistance to reform suddenly decreased and the progress was very rapid.
At the same time, a new round of military expansion has begun.
For Confucianism and other exoteric scholars, it is much better to cooperate with Yang Guang than to let Buddhism succeed?
If Yang Guang's reform is successful, it will take a hard life for all schools of thought. However, after Yang Guang's death, the political situation will be over, and there will be opportunities to recover.
But if Buddhism succeeds, wouldn’t Buddhism ride on everyone’s heads to scatter and pee? This dispute over Taoism is much more serious than the dispute between the monarch and the ministers with Yang Guang.
One is a major event that has influenced thousands of years, and the other is a decades of hard days. It will be overwhelmed after a moment.
It goes without saying which is more important.
It can be said that the storm of Emperor Selection caused by Buddhism in order to build momentum for Li Shimin in Li family was very glorious on the surface, but in fact, I don’t know how many forces it will offend.
Buddhists have great achievements and control the great power of public opinion in the world. If they want to go to the next level, they will inevitably become enemies of all sects and sects in the world.
Therefore, the Taoist sect can temporarily retreat and secretly stir up the situation, but Confucianism and other exoteric scholars inevitably face this kind of dispute over Taoism.
How smart are Confucianism and other students? It is impossible to end up in person.
Therefore, they supported Yang Guang behind their backs.
Although Yang Guang is suppressing the aristocratic families, he is also promoting the poor. Isn’t the poor children also learning Confucianism and other prominent schools? Isn’t the ancestors of all aristocratic families also born in poor families for a thousand or eight hundred years?
Therefore, it is not strange for Confucianism and other exoteric scholars to support Yang Guang. For various schools of thought, they pay more attention to the Tao, and it doesn’t matter whether the king is cruel or stupid.
In the original work, they supported Kou Zhong, but Kou Zhong got out halfway, and in the end they had to pinch their noses and surrender to Li Shimin.
In Luoyang City, Yang Pan lives in a different courtyard and thanks guests behind closed doors.
So many people have come to Yang Pan these days.
Moreover, Luoyang has been very lively recently.
Even in the northeast, people traveled thousands of miles. It can be seen that everyone still attaches great importance to the title of righteousness and orthodox. If you want to compete with Yang Guang and compete for the world, you will get the Heshi Bi.
Whoever owns the Heshi Bi will have the confidence to face Yang Guang face directly.
If Yang Guang is not dead, everyone is uneasy. The reputation of righteousness is in Yang Guang's hands. They are now in the glory of the masses, and after all, they are also traitors.
Outside Luoyang City, in the bronze hall of Jingnian Zen Temple, Lekong and the four great saints walked out of it after seeing the Heshi Bi placed here.
"Very good, the Heshi Bi is delivered safely. Next, it depends on the ability of the nephew Feixuan." Lekong said in a ventral language.
"Then I'll ask Junior Brother Kong to do this. I'm going to go to Jiangdu. Yang Guang, a foolish lord, is in the Jianghuai area, and is engaged in the destruction of Buddhism and plundering my Buddhist accumulation. If it is spread and other princes follow suit, the consequences will be really unimaginable." Master Zhihui sighed.
"A few senior brothers want to assassinate the horse? Isn't it too dangerous? In the palace, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and even the Yuwen clan fell into Yang Guang's hands for no reason. Who knows which master Yang Guang has recruited?" Lekong asked hesitantly. Lekong felt that it was inappropriate. Assassinating the king and killing the horse, how could it be so easy?
"No, if you have the chance, we will receive the news that Yang Guang will also come to Luoyang. We plan to wait for him halfway." said Venerable Di Xin.
"Yang Guang is coming to Luoyang, how is this possible? He is so arrogant?" Li Kong's eyes showed obvious surprise.
Luoyang can be said to be a gathering place for the world's rebels. If Yang Guang dares to come, he will definitely become the target of public criticism.
"Yang Guang is stubborn, what's wrong with him?" Master Jiaxiang replied lightly.
"Since that's the case, there is no need for the senior brothers to take action personally. When Yang Guang arrives in Luoyang, there will naturally be others who will end up." When Le Kong said this, he suddenly became silent again.
I thought about the problem, and the rebels in the world wished that Yang Guang would die sooner, the better.
But the problem is, if anyone kills Yang Guang first, the result will be self-evident, that is, he is making wedding dresses for others. The Li family will find an excuse to clear the emperor when they rise up. If they take action to kill Yang Guang.
All the heroes in the world will be grateful to their eight generations of ancestors. While they are grateful in their hearts, they join forces to deal with the Li family.
Whoever kills the Li family will have the right to be a great official.
If Yang Guang appeared in Luoyang openly, it would be very safe.
"A generation of emperors is indeed amazing." Le Kong sighed. Yang Guang was a talented and stubborn emperor after all, and he was essentially different from the idiots like Qin Ershi.
"You can't let Yang Guang enter Luoyang, otherwise all our plans will be wasted." Master Daoxin said seriously.
Several holy monks never thought that Yang Guang would come up with such a way to break the deadlock.
Yang Guang came to Luoyang in person, which was obviously about turning over the table.
In order to build this platform, Buddhism has been preparing since the time of Chen Mie until now, and it is about to harvest. Yang Guang is coming to hold the table, which will waste all the efforts of Buddhism. What a huge gap.
How could Buddhism give up? Therefore, this time, the elite power of Buddhism intends to achieve Yang Guang halfway, not only to preserve the current situation, but also to get rid of Yang Guang, the only orthodox, and kill two birds with one stone.
The only bad thing is that Buddhism has to bear the name of regicide, and it will be difficult to wash it off in the future. Moreover, the newly promoted emperor may be wary of Buddhism again and again. If you were able to kill Yang Guang in the past, it is difficult to guarantee that I will attack you in the future.
When the emperor's suspicion arises, it is difficult to calm down.
"I think this is not a rash move. In my opinion, it is better to send messages and let others do it." Lekong was deeply aware of the essence of killing people with a knife.
"It's inappropriate, the news has not spread. After we succeed, as long as we leave no traces, we will be foolproof. If we fail, the four of us will be able to retreat calmly without leaving any evidence." The implication is that as long as we do not leave any evidence, we can deny everything.
On the other hand, if the news spreads, the more people and forces involved, if everyone does not take action in the end, Buddhism will inevitably take action. Once it takes action, the greater the possibility of the Buddhist action being exposed. Moreover, each of the princes in the world is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and each of them has a complex network of relationships behind it.
"Amitabha, I am not thinking well, I hope you all forgive me." Lekong put his hands together and worshiped him for a week.
"Now we are already on the string and have to fire. Even if we are crushed to pieces, we must stop Yang Guang from entering Luoyang." Master Jiaxiang has a spirit and awareness of sacrificing himself for faith.
――――――――――
Yang Guang, who regained power, actually put down his government affairs in the court and went to Luoyang in person. How confident and courage is this?
Eunuch Wei, the new imperial guard commander Sima Long, accompanied him, and came to Luoyang from the ground.
In fact, after passing Rongyang, it is Luoyang's territory.
"Your Majesty, I received the news that the four great monks left Jingnian Zen Temple." Mr. Wei said openly.
"Where is Ning Daoqi, where is he?" Yang Guang asked. The four great Buddhist monks said that they were quite powerful. In fact, the combined four of them had at most a great master's combat power, which was not an unsolvable problem for Yang Guang.
On the contrary, Ning Dodge, who has been hiding in the dark, is a little troublesome.
But it's just a little trouble.
"I don't know, after this man escorted the Heshi Bi, he lost his trace." Eunuch Wei replied.
"It's really Ning Daoqi, he's such a smart person." Yang Guang recalled it and laughed loudly. Now Yang Guang is more convinced of his guess. Ning Daoqi is a Buddhist thug on the surface, but in fact he is in Cao's camp and in his heart.
What a shrewd person Ning Daoqi is? He must have known from where he was that Yang Guang was coming to Luoyang and then disappeared directly. He clearly did not want to participate in the assassination of the king.
As mentioned earlier, the assassination of the king and the driver never ended well.
Whether it is successful or bathing, it will be neither human inside nor outside, and the karma and cause and effect involved in sentient beings are even more unimaginable. If Yang Pan's Blood God Son was not special, it would not be possible to replace Yang Guang. In addition, Yang Pan has the protection of the Karma Fire Red Lotus, the greater the karma, the stronger the karma fire. For the Karma Fire to be the Red Lotus, it is the most delicious food in the world. At the same time, it is the best supply for the Karma Fire Red Lotus to restore its origin.
The Sui Dynasty lost the jade seal of the kingdom and did not have anything to suppress luck when the country was founded. It is no wonder that the second generation died in such a standardized environment as later generations.
The second generation of Qin Dynasty died because the second generation of Qin Dynasty was too idiot and could not even suppress a eunuch. It would be unreasonable for such an emperor to destroy his country if he did not destroy his country.
The second generation of the Sui Dynasty died. Yang Guang's steps were too big and he was involved in one aspect. In the final analysis, it was the accumulation of karma, which exceeded the speed of accumulation of luck in the Sui Dynasty, and finally died after exhaustion.
If the Sui Dynasty had a national weapon to suppress national destiny, such as the imperial seal. Then, with Yang Guang's great talent and strategy, the Sui Dynasty would never have perished so quickly.
Think about it, after the Tang Dynasty possessed the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, the chaotic royal family, mutiny, national chaos, vassal states and other factors remained strong and passed on for hundreds of years.
At least the royal family of the Sui Dynasty was not as chaotic as the Tang Dynasty, but it only passed down for two lifetimes.
Therefore, it is so important that a country's weapon suppresses the fortune of the imperial dynasty.
