Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

——480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings are in the mist and rain!

This is a sentence in Du Mu's "Jiangnanchun".

It is intended to be ironic, saying that the emperors of the Southern Dynasties built large-scale construction projects and built Buddhist temples indiscriminately, resulting in a weak national strength and poor people's livelihood, making the people suffer more and the people even more miserable.

And it's not just Du Mu who satirized Buddhism...

Buddhism, tracing its origin, is just a variation on the basis of the "Flying Cake Country" church, and the source of its source is always the "Flying Cake Country" church!

With the development of history, Buddhism has actually broken away from its original affiliation to a certain extent...

Even obliterate its origin.

In later generations... those who believe in Buddhism and those who do not believe in Buddhism are two completely different types of people.

Those who don't believe in believe that there are no stories that Buddhism dare not make up, and there are no lies that Buddhists dare not tell... If they take it seriously, they are fools, and they put forward the so-called concept of "all evil Buddhas are headed".

For example, Sakyamuni was not a good prince, he abandoned his wife and children to beg everywhere...

In the eyes of believers, it is destined that Shakyamuni is great and extraordinary!
But in the eyes of non-believers, isn't this a disease, creating reasons and grounds for their irresponsibility of "abandoning their wives and children".

Start from a more intuitive point of view.

Later generations... Especially with the development of science and technology, Buddhism is not respected from an official point of view!

As for the reasons... there are still a few commonplaces.

To take refuge in my Buddha is to cut off all emotions and desires...

If everyone takes refuge in my Buddha, cuts off all ties with the mundane world, and makes offerings to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, then who will take care of our parents?Who will develop our empire?Ever engaged in productive labor?
In addition...From the perspective of population and reproduction, Buddha...maybe worthy of some people's belief, but it is not worthy of admiration.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu gradually narrowed his eyes.

He was deducing, if the Great Wei had no Buddha... what would the whole Great Wei look like?
——There is no need for large-scale construction and construction of Buddhist temples.

——The common people stay away from falsehood, and it is easier to return to practice and engage in production.

——The reproduction of the population has been guaranteed, and a series of disputes between Buddhism and customs have been eliminated from the source.

As for the five precepts advocated by Buddhism, which are beneficial to social development, no killing, no stealing, no evil, no lying, no drinking, in fact...

It can be harmonized with the Confucian "five constants" of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith.

As for belief, Taoism can completely replace it... nothing more than that, the common people have changed from worshiping Sakyamuni to worshiping Lao Tzu and Yuanshi Tianzun... There is no essential difference.

Speaking of...

Since Lu Yu became "Cao Yu", his position, his thinking... no longer stick to one family and one word, but the whole Great Wei, the whole world, his every word and deed, every action, must be Think twice and make sure it is beneficial to Wei!

Thinking of this...

Lu Yu clenched his fist slightly, as if he had finally made up his mind.

And right now.

"His Royal Highness, the Holy Maiden of the Five Dou Rice Religion asks to see you."

A soldier from the Longxiao Battalion walked in and whispered something in Dian Wei's ear, and Dian Wei stepped forward to report.

"Zhang Qiying?" Lu Yu whispered her name, and then waved his hand lightly. "Please…"

Soon...

Dian Wei returned again, but behind him...in the shadows, there was a woman wearing a veiled hat. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could still see her soft and graceful figure...but who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Qiying?
Dian Wei cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness, here you are!"

Lu Yu took a look at the woman and smiled lightly, "Okay, let's rule everything down."

Dian Wei glanced at Zhang Qiying worriedly, Zhang Qiying was wearing extra thin clothes tonight, because of the poison and rape incident before, Dian Wei was unavoidably a little worried...

"His Royal Highness, at this time..."

Lu Yu couldn't help but smiled at Zhang Qiying, "The saint is really amazing, don't you think so?"
I realized that Dian Dutong, who can make the ancient evil come, is so afraid, it is because I am worried that you will eat the prince! "

puff…

This almost ridiculed sentence caused Zhang Qiying to burst out laughing out loud, "I'm afraid Diandu has misunderstood. Is it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the king's minister on the shore of the land? In the chess game, the little girl is just a pawn in the hands of His Royal Highness, the pawn will always understand, whose hand is holding her?"

As soon as this statement comes out…

Dian Wei cupped his hands, "The last general will retire!"

With the sound of treading, Dian Wei left after a while...

Zhang Qiying stepped forward with soft steps, bowed and saluted Lu Yu.

"The Holy Maiden Zhang Qiying of the Five Dou Rice Religion pays her respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Yu smiled lightly, "You came because of the condition your father put forward!"

"Hmm..." Zhang Qiying nodded, and immediately asked, "How does His Royal Highness view this act of exterminating Buddha?"

While speaking, Zhang Qiying stood up silently, gently took off her hat, revealing a bright face. Although she lowered her head, her attitude was calm and composed, gentle and contemptuous, neither humble nor overbearing, with a unique style.

Lu Yu looked at her bright and jade-like skin, and her pair of smart eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Why does Tianshi Dao attach so much importance to Buddhism, and regard it as the biggest opponent!"

"To tell you the truth, His Royal Highness..." Zhang Qiying explained, "Since the Yellow Turban Uprising that Taiping Dao set off in the Han Dynasty failed, countless Taoist believers had nowhere to go, so... my father sent people to quietly establish Taoism in various places in the Central Plains. The division of Heavenly Masters and Dao, such as... Jiangxi's Longhu Mountain... It is precisely because of this that my father and I can quickly learn about the situation in the world, and this is why Liu Zhang in Bashu is always afraid of his father!"

"And these local sub-forums are not just looking for information related to the current situation. For example, the development of the White Horse Temple has also attracted my father's attention..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qiying paused, "Actually, a long time ago...my grandfather paid attention to the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, which was the first Buddhist temple introduced to the Central Plains through the Silk Road, and although there is only one...it can be developed The speed of believers is far beyond our imagination...whether they are high-ranking officials or poor people...it seems that they are very easy to believe in the so-called 'Buddha...believe in the Buddha, believe in all vain..."

"Since then, my grandfather has realized that Buddhism... will be the biggest opponent of the future Tao, and it is even more terrifying than today's Confucianism... The level of belief of its followers is simply terrifying!"

"So..." Lu Yu continued to ask: "Tianshi Dao wants the Great Wei to destroy Buddhism and curb the development of Buddhism in the Great Wei...Does it provide the soil and conditions for the development of Taoism?"

"Yes!" Zhang Qiying didn't hide anything... She told Lu Yu everything she knew.

True…

This is due to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but also... Zhang Qiying's urge to stand on the same front with Lu Yu!
call…

Lu Yu turned around and took light steps...

He slightly closed his eyes and said with emotion: "The celestial masters of all generations have a pair of wisdom eyes. In such a short hundred years, they can see the infinite potential of Buddhism. But... I can tell the saint that Buddha and Tao have essences. The difference, at least... In my opinion, Taoism is more about going down the mountain to save people in troubled times, and it is more about self-cultivation and handing down to the world in prosperous times. The Buddha is different... In troubled times, the mountains and temples are closed. In addition to eating fast and reciting Buddha, working and resting in the morning and evening, and carrying out the so-called promotion of Buddhism and saving sentient beings, They are cut off from the outside world."

"Don't talk about the future, let's talk about the collapse of the great Han world. Taoism has at least tried hard. Although the results are not satisfactory, but Baima Temple, despite the world's disputes, only one sentence is 'All living beings are suffering, Amitabha,...It is based on this, we I plan to agree to your father's proposal, and the Great Wei's destruction of Buddha will be on the line, and it is imperative!"

boom…

Rumble!
Lu Yu's words were not heavy, but every word, every word was heard in Zhang Qiying's ears, and it was extremely loud.

Originally speaking.

Zhang Qiying was also not sure about... Da Wei Mie Buddha. She couldn't understand Lu Yu, so... she didn't dare to guess what he was thinking.

But now...

The big stone in her chest landed safely, which made her
Suddenly relieved a lot.

What Lu Yu said just now was a bit heavy, but in fact... when fighting against "Little Days", there were countless priests who went down the mountain to fight, and most of them did not come back in the end. These people are our heroes.

certainly…

This does not mean that Buddhism will take the move of "closing mountains and avoiding temples" in troubled times.

For example... Venerable Juzan, who "mounted to kill thieves and dismounted to learn Buddhism", also organized monks to join the national salvation movement.

It's just...compared with the Taoist...the number is too big, and the contribution is too big!
Tracing back to the source, Buddhism cuts off the seven emotions and six desires...

It is difficult to cultivate a large number of mages like "Ju Zan"!

"So... Prince Wei promised his father?"

Zhang Qiying bit her lips excitedly...

Lu Yu waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Holy lady, don't be too happy, this is just my idea. I still need to report the proposal of destroying the Buddha to my father. The final result... still needs to be decided by him!"

"Who doesn't know that the King of Wei obeys His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words." Zhang Qiying replied with a smile, as if the matter was already settled. "Once upon a time... His Highness the Crown Prince was still the Marquis of Nanshou, the King of Wei was like this... Now, as His Highness the Crown Prince... as long as he proposes to destroy Buddha, the King of Wei will not deny it!"

indeed…

Today's Buddha has just entered the Central Plains for a hundred years, and is not strong enough... the roots are not deep enough!

Although there will be some obstacles to destroying the Buddha,... the obstacles will not be great. With the national power of the Great Wei, it is easy to eliminate these obstacles... This is the simplicity of the eradication of the Buddha today compared to the "three martial arts and one sect to destroy the Buddha".

Zhang Qiying has a pure heart, so she can naturally understand this...

After talking here, Lu Yu pointed to the pitch-black "valley hole" under the mountain in front of him, and said with a smile: "Look at this valley in the darkness... I always look forward to the sun rising tomorrow, and this place has changed from the silence like a rock to the sky." More beams of light, becoming sun-covered, all-encompassing..."

Zhang Qiying followed Lu Yu and walked forward slowly.

She stood beside Lu Yu, her hair was blown by the night wind, and in the night...the dark hollow made her gasp.

"It's really a heart-wrenching mountain, and this is also the future...His Royal Highness, a heart-wrenching mountain and river!"

"Little girl really wants to do something for His Royal Highness, for the country of Great Wei..."

This situation...

Lu Yu actually felt a tingle of throbbing and tenderness in his heart.

Speaking of which, after figuring out the "destroying Buddha", his whole body was relieved a lot...and also, the emotions and desires that were suppressed by "unifying the mountains and rivers" were released at this moment....

"You...you can really do something for me!"

While speaking, Lu Yu went straight to a farm beside him. It was a farmhouse that Long Xiaoying had bought long ago... There was only one big bed in it.

Watching Lu Yu step in... Zhang Qiying hesitated for a moment, her hand...from clenching to loosening, then clenching, and then loosening...

In the end, she bit her lips with her teeth, and moved lightly...following her.

Boom, boom...

She seems to be able to feel the heartbeat at this moment.

Boom, boom...

Not long after, there was a slight and rhythmic sound, which was like... the sound of bamboos and bamboos colliding with each other, extraordinarily crisp... But soon, everything returned to silence.

...

...

——Destroy Buddha?
——Dawei 480 Temple, how many towers are in the mist and rain!

Luoyang, Cao Cao from Wei Palace saw Lu Yu's letter, and when he saw these two sentences in it, he was startled.

He couldn't figure out why Yu'er wrote a letter...to exterminate the Buddha.

Xun Yu in front of him also frowned slightly...

He also didn't understand what kind of medicine Lu Yu was selling in this gourd.

"Your Majesty, this Buddha... I have some understanding. When Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang with a fire, only the White Horse Temple twelve miles away from the city was preserved. When talking about the White Horse Temple, we have to mention Yongping in Dahan In the seventh year, Emperor Ming heard that there were strange gods in the west, so he sent his son

Zhong Caimin, doctoral student Qin Jing and others went to Tianzhu to seek the Dharma.In the tenth year of Yongping, they returned to Luoyang with Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues from Zhongtianzhu. They first lived in Honglu Temple, and later they used Honglu as a permanent residence. The next year, they ordered to build a residence outside Yongmen...because the monks came for Tianzhu. The guests are still treated as guests, so the name of the residence continues to use the word "temple". "

Xun Yu expressed his erudition in one mouth...

Cao Cao listened with great interest, "Tell me specifically?"

Xun Yu continued to narrate: "It was the eighth year of Yongping, Cai, Qin and others bid farewell to the imperial capital and embarked on a journey of thousands of miles to "seek Buddhist scriptures in the West".In Dayuezhi Kingdom, I met an eminent monk from Tianzhu, saw the Buddhist scriptures and the white felt statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, and begged the eminent monk to go east to the Han Dynasty to promote the Dharma and teach; Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues returned to Luoyang, the capital of the country. "

"Emperor Han Ming was very happy to see the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues. He treated the two eminent monks with great courtesy and received them personally, and arranged for them to stay temporarily in the "Honglu Temple". .To commemorate the white horse carrying sutras, this monastery was named "White Horse Temple". , which is the first Chinese translation of Buddhist scriptures in the extant Han dynasty. "

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded...

"How many people worship at this White Horse Temple?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

this…

Xun Yu waved his hand, "Women of some rich families believe in these things, from divination to ask evildoers, to praying for sons and blessings... There are also many poor people who will convert to Buddhism and be ordained as monks... and there are not many of them."

Well…

Cao Cao was a little surprised. He wandered in Luoyang when he was young. Because of the Silk Road, he had seen a lot of people from Tianzhu... but not many monks. According to Xun Yu, there were quite a few monks... …

"Why do many poor people convert to Buddhism?"

"Because... Buddhism does not need to work, it only needs to collect incense money, and...the Han Dynasty has the old system, Buddhism does not need to pay taxes, and does not need to participate in corvee..."

Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly got up...

He turned around and unfolded Lu Yu's letter paper again with his back to Xun Yu.

After a long while, he murmured: "Neither pay taxes, nor participate in corvee, but also collect incense money, hehe... No wonder Yu'er wants to destroy Buddha, then simply... just destroy it!"
