Chapter 987 Buddhism: Without the Kingdom of Jin, it is very important to us!

"The younger generation listens to Zhang Gong's teachings."

Song Jiang stared at this sentence, and immediately sat upright, raising his spirits.

Zhang Dun was very indifferent. Seeing that Song Jiang could see clearly, he immediately took a few more strokes and skillfully changed the "death" in the light strokes to "xing" and "struggle" to "discussion", and the whole sentence became "Golden people rejuvenate the country, starting with the theory of Buddhism and Taoism."

There was Li Kui standing guard at the door, and he was proficient at offering bribes just now. Under normal circumstances, Wanyan Hunchu would not break in, but Zhang Dun's behavior was obviously impeccable. With this change, even if Wanyan Hunchu suddenly rushed in, it would not matter.

And he spoke slowly, with an old voice with a calming force: "When I was young, I admired military affairs. In the fifth year of Xining, I was ordered to open Meishan. Originally, I planned to go to Ningxiang, enter Weishan, and then turn to the small road. We marched in, not wanting to lose the battle, so we had no choice but to retreat to the Miyin Temple in Weishan."

"At the time when food, grass and supplies were scarce, and when the advance and retreat were at a loss, the monks took the initiative to provide supplies for the army. At that time, the old man thought that the Yao people had always believed in Buddhism, so he invited the elders of the Buddhist temple, Ying Quan, to lobby in Dongdong. After their Buddhist advice, The leader of Xidong repented and led the crowd to surrender..."

"When the old man returned to the court, in order to thank the Miyin Temple for its contribution, he specially asked him to be exempted from various departments. With this precedent, the old man will recruit Dongdongman, open up the southwest, and recruit all the tribes of Tubo. The famous monk accompanied him, and the memory is still fresh."

Although Zhang Dun spoke slowly, Song Jiang was fascinated by what he heard, and he admired it very much. This old prime minister who is nearly [-] years old can explain clearly what happened for more than [-] years.

This is obviously not a temporary memory, but a long-term preparation.

When the monks not far away heard this, they felt a sense of envy.

Look at how good the environment of the Song court was at that time. The court asked monks for something, and the monks could get rewards for coming forward. It was mutual help...

This is true. The Song Dynasty paid great attention to the power of Buddhist temples and monks. They often used eminent monks to lead the way and let monks act as "pawns" to influence the local barbarians with religious beliefs. After winning over a group, they wiped out those who did not believe in Buddhism.

Next, Zhang Dun not only took himself as an example, but also talked about the later opening of the Xihe River, all of which used religious beliefs to conquer and rule the surrounding alien races. Finally, he sighed: "This action avoids war and calamity. It has immeasurable merits, but it has also been impeached." , It is said that the military is not enough, and it is a trick. The former Tang Dynasty never needed such means to attack foreign races, but I don’t know that national power is always strong or weak, so we can’t blindly compare..."

Song Jiang understood that it seemed that he missed Zhao Song, but in fact he was alluding to the current state of Jin.

Song Dynasty was weak in military and strong in culture, and relied on the influence of Buddhism.

Jin, on the other hand, has a strong military but a weak culture. To be precise, it has no culture of its own at all, and is still using what was left over from the Liao Kingdom. At this time, it is actually more important to play a religious role.

Wanyan Aguda felt this and allowed Buddhism to spread in the Kingdom of Jin. This is undoubtedly a manifestation of maturity, but it is not mature enough.

If Zhang Dun is the prime minister of the Kingdom of Jin, facing the current situation of the Kingdom of Jin, the first policy of admonishment for governing the country is to deify Wanyan Aguda, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin.

The specific operation is to fabricate auspicious omens, proclaiming that Wanyan Aguda is the Buddha who came to the world and ruled the world for the Buddha, so as to unite the people who believe in Buddhism.

Even if he doesn't believe in Buddhism at all, it must be the Buddha who came to the world, and he must perform religious prayers in public, so that a large number of Buddhists will shout, "Buddha is merciful and saves the world."

With this basic board, the people under his command can be divided into those who believe in religion and those who don't, and those who believe in religion can be divided into superficial believers and fanatics, and those who believe in fanatics can be trained to become important officials of the court. Only such a ruling team can be stabilized as quickly as possible.

In comparison, the Central Plains Dynasty had a glorious cultural inheritance, and religion could never override the secular imperial power. The rulers used Buddhism and Taoism to assist their own rule, but it was extremely straightforward to truly destroy the Buddha.

Not counting Lin Lingsu’s change of skin, the Central Plains Dynasty exterminated Buddhism on a large scale three times in history, and when it was destroyed, it was destroyed. Buddhism can only make up some small stories behind the back, and attribute the failure and even death of the ruler to retribution Above, it is pure incompetence and rage, psychological comfort...

Switch to the extermination of Buddhas in Liao, Xixia, Gaoli, Dali, and try it out. The lessons learned from Tubo’s extermination are there!
The last Tsanpo of Tubo, Lang Dama exterminated Buddha, guess why he is the last Tsanpo?

Zanpu, a Buddhist general, was assassinated. Afterwards, the clan split and civil uprisings broke up the unified Tubo Dynasty into several small states.

There is no need to make up a small story behind the scenes, and immediately give the ruler a retribution!
A small country exterminates Buddha?Is it you who can destroy it? I don’t have the qualifications to know...

Wanyan Aguda obviously didn't understand that the Kingdom of Jin urgently needed religious beliefs to fill the gap in the cultural field, but felt that many of its people believed in Buddhism, so they magnanimously let Buddhism spread, but still used natural selection to Contrary to Taoism and Buddha, religious infighting, giving birth to the signs of extermination of Buddha.

As for Wanyan Aguda's subordinates, only Wanyan Wu Qimai felt that Buddhism was very useful, but he did not fully understand the key.

On the contrary, Song Jiang understood this truth through Zhang Dun's teaching.

He immediately said: "Unfortunately, brother Mu died of illness, and he is about to ask the master to do something!"

Zhang Dun looked at the group of monks with a teachable look. Song Jiang stepped forward and extended an invitation respectfully.

A tall and thin monk came out, clasped his hands together: "Believers live deep in the root of wisdom, my Buddha saves all living beings, and the poor monk passed away, I am willing to perform dharma work!"

"Thank you Master Shi!"

Song Jiang had an idea, and knew that talking to Zhang Dun for too long might arouse the suspicion of the Jin people, so he saluted and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm going back to arrange the funeral ceremony..."

Zhang Dun nodded slightly and closed his eyes again.

Song Jiang took the monk out of the house, Wanyan Hunchu immediately came over, asked, heard that his subordinates died, and asked the monk to go back to practice, he couldn't help but suddenly said, "General Song, don't forget Business!"

"Next time for sure! Next time for sure!"

Song Jiang responded repeatedly, and led the monk back to his room quickly.

At night, Sun Erniang, Deng Fei, and Bao Xu who had gone out all came back one after another, making sure that there were no golden men listening to them, gathered together, and began to talk about the plan.

"The struggle between Buddhism and Taoism has caused Buddhism's dissatisfaction with Jin Ting. My brother is going to contact the power of Buddhism to destroy Jin Kingdom together?"

The four of them looked at each other, somewhat incomprehensible: "Do monks dare to do rebellion?"

Song Jiangdao: "In order to survive, why not do it? Take Goryeo as an example. Each of their temples has monks and soldiers. They were conscripted back then to fight against the Jurchen troops. It is a pity that they are not opponents, but the strength of Buddhism can be seen. You guys Don't look at the Buddhism of the Kingdom of Jin with the concept of the Song Dynasty... the previous dynasty!"

Deng Fei said: "Then if we contact now, will the Jinren be alarmed?"

After all, Song Jiang is a researcher of human scriptures, and his execution ability is very strong: "Mr. Zhang has done a lot of things. Today, the monk's conversation in the world is not like ordinary people. He communicated with this person through religious affairs, and he was in touch with Jin Ting in Buddhism. Contact those who are dissatisfied."

Bao Xu said: "What brother said is true, you can try it!"

Song Jiang looked at Li Kui, his family property is all in this person: "Tie Niu, you go to the temple and invite a wooden fish consecrated by an eminent monk, I want to accumulate merit..."

Li Kui scratched his head: "Brother, find someone else to do this, I never go to a monastery."

Song Jiangdao: "Tie Niu, you can also worship Buddha."

This sentence made everyone amused: "Brother, this black fellow hacks people all day long, and I'm afraid he has no predestined relationship with the Buddha!"

Song Jiangdao: "This matter is of great importance. There should be no negligence in the slightest. Tieniu must also learn to communicate with monks and not reveal his flaws..."

Seeing that Li Kui still wanted to shirk, he said solemnly: "We are now in prison and bear the infamy for nothing else. It is to protect the imperial family of the former dynasty from being used by gold thieves. It is a move to be recorded in history, so that we can live up to the sacrifices of the brothers!"

The four were moved and nodded heavily: "Listen to brother Gongming!"

……

"His Royal Highness, be the master for us!"

In the secret room of the Buddhist temple, a group of monks fell to the ground, and the object of worship was the monk who passed away.

The spread of their titles will cause an uproar in Korea.

Because this is the crown prince who disappeared in the war when the former capital was destroyed by the Jin people, and was considered by the subjects to have suffered misfortune.

However, the crown prince helped a group of old monks up one after another, but he said: "The crown prince is dead, and only the world is left today. You are all senior monks, please get up!"

The monks were anxious: "Don't you want to restore the country, Your Highness?"

The way of the world: "The past, the past, will not be mentioned again. The little monk wishes only for the well-being of the subjects and not being bullied."

Some monks were anxious, while others recalled: "Your Highness, don't you know that we, the people of Korea, are being bullied?"

Liao Shi said indifferently: "You eminent monks want to restore the country with monk soldiers? Can they defeat the Jin army? Will more people sacrifice in vain?"

The monks were dumbfounded.

Since the uprising army was taken down by the Jin people, although the resistance in various parts of Goryeo has not stopped, the threat has indeed become smaller and smaller. Now, it is not the Jurchens who are actually suppressing, but the Goryeo people who have taken refuge in the Jurchen. Koreans who are unwilling to submit.

With the strength of Buddhism, it is true that a storm can be caused, but the final outcome should still be suppressed.

So after knowing the identity of this person, they will feel like a treasure, hoping to restore the country in the name of the crown prince, then the momentum will be completely different, and even if they fail, they can negotiate with Jin Ting to prevent that Evil Dao Lin Lingsu is running amok!

Under the tutelage of a former rebel, Liao Shi had a clear view of the world situation. Rather than saying that they were eager to restore the country, these monks actually hated the Jin Emperor Wanyan Aguda even more for conniving Lin Lingsu, and said indifferently: "The Jin people are cruel. Even if I, the crown prince, come out again, it will be of no avail. It will only cause the people to die in vain. If you seniors want Buddhism not to be bullied, you may wish to contact the temple of Liao Kingdom and resist together!"

The atmosphere in the secret room was heavy, and the monks made eye contact and had an answer in their hearts.

It's time to make up your mind.

Relatively speaking, the crown prince is not important, and the restoration of the country is not important...

Without the Golden Kingdom, it is very important to Buddhism!
