Chapter 256 Promoting Dharma or Destroying Dharma
"Master, you don't need to bargain with me, I can hand over the four Rashtras near Qunu City to the Buddha Gate.

A certain place in Qunv City plans to set up a religious council, which will consist of three people from the Zhenyuan Kingdom, one from the Polo Kingdom, five from the local Brahmins, and six from the Buddhist sect to form a religious council to rule.

The Clan Council can elect a governor for a five-year term.

And a certain request is also very simple, you must give me the titles of Holy King of Wheels and King of Silver Wheels, otherwise I will ask the Brahmin priests for them!
In addition, I also need a sangha composed of profound and eminent Buddhist monks to help someone go to the east to promote the Dharma. Master, please organize it as soon as possible. "

Master Baotongzi and the heads of several famous monasteries were stunned by Zhang Zhao's directness and rudeness.

They were ready to negotiate, but Zhang Zhao didn't give them room to negotiate at all, and just threw out the final price.

"Your Majesty Khan, there is nothing wrong with Yinlun Dharma King belonging to my Buddhist sect."

The head of Chaojie Temple looked at Zhang Zhao with some embarrassment and said, even if it is Yinlun Dharma King, there are not many in the history of Buddhism.

"I'm not negotiating with the master. My conditions have already been given, but there are two answers, yes or no, so there is no need to bargain!"

Zhang Zhao's attitude at this meeting is very firm. Even Wu Da'er, who is not in the core power circle of the Guiyi Army, knows that Cao Yijin's time is numbered. One can imagine the physical condition of the person in power of the Cao Guiyi Army. how bad.

Compared with rushing back to the Guiyi Army, the title of Dharma King of Buddhism has become less important.

"Then as Khan wished, the poor monk will go and prepare all the etiquette for the certification of Yinlun Dharma King.

But His Majesty the Khan must confirm that among the three Rashtras in Qunu City, all the land that originally belonged to the Balikhar royal family and the Kshatriya belonged to Buddhism. "

Master Baotongzi gritted his teeth, he really couldn't afford to give someone of the level of Jinlun Fawang, and he didn't dare to give it.

Give it and get it. Back then, King Ashoka even had the right to distribute the relics of Sakyamuni Buddha. It can be said that he was the de facto controller of Tianzhu Buddhism.

But Yinlun Dharma King is different. Although the status is very precious, the gap with Jinlun Dharma King is like the gap between princes and emperors in Chinese history.

Jinlun Dharma King is the master of Buddhism, and Yinlun Dharma King is just the protector of Buddhism.

"Deal!" Of course Zhang Zhao would agree without hesitation. Before him, none of the emperors in Middle-earth had ever been awarded the title of Dharma King of Dharma Protector of Tianzhu Buddhism, or the title of Saint King of Reincarnation.

Although it is more likely that the emperors of the Central Plains disdain this title, it is still very important to Zhang Zhao.

The game between Zhang Zhao and Buddhism for several months was quickly resolved in this way.

Of course, Zhang Zhao also noticed that the bottom line Master Baotongzi prepared to give Zhang Zhao in advance was definitely not the Silver Wheel Dharma King, and it was very likely that he was willing to give the Bronze Wheel Dharma King.

Because after he agreed with Zhang Zhao's real bottom line, the heads of the next few famous temples were extremely surprised and prepared to object, which was stopped by Master Bao Tongzi with his eyes.

Zhang Zhao probably guessed the reason why Master Baotongzi agreed without hesitation, because he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy a large area of ​​land around Qunu City.

Needless to say, if the Sudras and Dalits in these lands want to continue to live in these lands, converting to Buddha is their only choice.

Using the land as a weapon to develop believers, and then wrestling with the Brahmin priests after the number of people increased, Master Bao Tongzi must have thought so, but Zhang Zhao's attitude towards this was two words.

The head of the Nalanda Temple and the dignified leader of the Buddhist sect in India may not fully realize that the biggest difference between Brahmanism and Buddhism is not which Vajra Bodhisattva he believes in, and what method he uses to practice.

Rather, the two sects seem to have the same origin, but they are tit for tat.

At least it should never appear in the current state of harmonious coexistence on the Tianzhu continent. Buddhism must be in a position opposite to Brahmans to have room for survival.

Because Buddhism exists to reflect on and even oppose Brahmanism, without the role of opponents, there is no need for Buddhism to exist.

For example, now, Buddhism, which was originally born to resist the caste system, has lost its compassion for the equality of all beings. In Zhang Zhao's view, there is no need for it to exist.

Of course, the weakness of Buddhism is precisely because of the over-emphasis on the equality of all beings, and it has come to the opposite of the secular aristocracy.

In the feudal era, if a sect completely went to the opposite of the secular aristocracy, then its scriptures were destined to be unable to be implemented!

So in order to prevent this situation, Tianzhu Buddhism opened a mode that is a bit whimsical.

That is, you nobles are unwilling to promote my ideas, so why don't I just take power directly?I come to be noble myself.

So the bald people went to the complete opposite of the founder Sakyamuni.

They obtained fiefs and powers from the king, and then used them to implement their teachings, transforming themselves from the liberators of the caste system to the highest caste.

Temple fields, monks and soldiers, non-taxation, recruitment of refugees, and annexation of land are all concentrated manifestations of all these. In fact, they are not much different from Brahmin priests.

And they did this not only in Tianzhu, but also in China.

However, unlike the situation where the kingdoms of Tianzhu were deeply bound by Buddhism and eventually perished, China's highest power structure has never had room for theocracy.

As a result, the three Wuzong took turns to take the stage, and shot one after another, forcing Douzi to shoot left and right.

Only then did Buddhism cease to exist on the land of China, and it was only then that it became so benevolent and compassionate, honestly accepted the changes of Sinicization, and even recited Amitabha Buddha.

However, Guo Rong, Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty in the Three Wuyi School, has not yet ascended the throne, and there is a high probability that he will not have the chance to ascend the throne, so the final blow to Buddhism is likely to be promoted by King Zhang Zhaozhang.

But he didn't want to be as upright as Sejong of Zhou in history, which is also an important reason why he needs to obtain the status of Dharma King in Tianzhu.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao's face showed a trace of ruthlessness. After he obtained a certain degree of interpretation power from Tianzhu Buddhism, Tianzhu Buddhism would no longer need to exist. It would be better for Tianzhu Buddhism to disappear completely just like in history. .

This is conducive to the complete localization of Buddhism in China, and will not affect the historical process of Buddhism because of his personal reasons.

"Tiance, bring me Ilse!" Zhang Zhao ordered Guo Tiance.

Ils is the deputy of Anyuan Army envoy Rashid Salaiman, and is currently the Anyuan Army deputy envoy and Shunyi Right Army envoy. He is a bearded Persian who believes in Tianfang Sect.

Zhang Zhao wanted to block the communication channel of Tianzhu Buddhism. Ilse's fief was [-] miles north of Huwen City, which happened to be the main road for the owner to go down from Annan to Tianzhu.

Zhang Zhao is going to let this Tianfang believer set up a secret checkpoint here.

All Buddhists who went to Tianzhu to seek the Dharma, as well as the monks who went from Tianzhu to Anxi and Hexi, as long as they did not have Zhang Zhao's permission, they were not allowed to pass.

Well, since I am both a propagandist and an extermination person, I will have the power of interpretation from now on, not bad!

. . . .

In 935, on the seventeenth day of the sixth month, Zhang Zhao, who had stayed in Tianzhu for eight months, was about to return north from Tianzhu.

During these eight months, he penetrated through the upper reaches of the Xindu River and the middle and upper reaches of the Ganges River, and completely annexed the Shahi Dynasty among the three powerhouses of Tianzhu. Keng's face was completely lost, and he couldn't even speak in the royal family.

Before he left, although Tianzhu looked a lot more broken, he finally gained a rare peace in the last few months.

But in fact, Zhang Zhao dug enough holes to keep Tianzhu in chaos for decades.

Especially around Qunv City, the Brahman priests are waiting for the Buddhist Dharma King to leave, so that the Buddhists can taste their power

Master Baotongzi of Buddhism is also preparing for a counterattack that is doomed to fail.

As for other places, there are even more contradictions. How can the Chinese, Japanese and Tianzhu subdue the local areas?
Shahi's great warlord, Shiva Nu, was driven to the mountains of Nepal by him, and he is planning a comeback.

Bahmaha went to the lower reaches of the Sindhu River to rule half of the land of the Shahi Dynasty, but there were many opponents.

Not to mention Prince Taila and King Polo Lianping, these two grievances who have been punished.

This brawl must be very exciting, but it will soon have nothing to do with Zhang Zhao. He plans to let his son solve it in 30 years!

Zhenyuan City, when the last mule and horse walked out of the west gate of Zhenyuan City.

The Great Treasure of the Great Dynasty, the Vice King of the Great Jin Kingdom, the Khan of the Uighurs, the Ogus and the Baximis, the Holy King of Tianzhu Wheel, the King of the Silver Wheel of Buddhism, the founder of the two subsidiary states of Anyuan and Zhenyuan, and the Saman Persian Conqueror Those, Juerhan Zhang Zhao officially set foot on the way home.

He left with 50,000 troops, more than 30 people of Indian serfs, more than [-] Indian monks, more than [-] volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and [-] life-sized statues worth more than [-] million rupees. gold and silver ingots.

Yes, gold and silver ingots, for the convenience of carrying on the road, and also to prevent these gold and silver from suddenly flowing into the markets in Anxi and Hezhong.

Zhang Zhao melted all the rupee silver coins, gold coins and gold utensils he obtained in Tianzhu into high-purity gold and silver ingots.

A wealth of 20 million rupees is equivalent to about 500,000 dinars, which is close to 4 million.

Including the 500,000 strings of wealth extorted from Prince Hamid of Saman Persia, Zhang Zhao searched a total of 500,000 strings of wealth in Hezhong and India.

Half of it exists in the form of gold and silver, and the other half exists in the form of fur, spices, gems, etc. This search ability is not indifferent, it can be called scratching three feet.

And this doesn't include the rewards given to his subordinates and the expenses spent on the road. Except for Li Shengtian's a little accident, it is almost Zhang Zhao's personal treasure, which is enough to support his military operations in Hexi.

"Guozhu Zhang, just send it here! You must keep in mind the order of a certain person. You Hanritian species are only about two thousand strong. When you suddenly come to such a rich place, the rate of corruption is very fast. I am afraid it will only take a few years. It will drop very sharply.

But the land of Tianzhu is not peaceful, and the plan to introduce at least three hundred warriors from Ningyuan or even Shule every year must not stop.

At the same time, the internal training must not be relaxed. Whoever has a butt that is too big to fit in the saddle will be deprived of the Kshatriya qualification. In addition, the breeding of the folded ear horse must be taken seriously. "

The only thing Zhang Zhao is worried about is whether Cao Yanmian's uncle, Zhenyuan Kingdom advocates Bingzhong can defend Zhenyuan Kingdom.

Because Zhenyuan Country is an outpost that influences Tianzhu, and it is also an important breeding base for fold-eared horses.

Zhang Zhao found more than [-] fold-eared horses in Zhenyuan Country, but he only took away about [-] horses, and the rest stayed in Zhenyuan Country, because he was afraid that his breeding plan would not be successful, so he kept a pair of horses in Zhenyuan Country. Insurance.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely manage Zhenyuan Kingdom well!" Zhang Bingzhong cupped his hands, looking confident.

Zhang Zhao nodded and didn't speak, but sighed in his heart. This uncle's ability is still a bit weak, so don't worry about it, let's talk about it later!
