The little monk returns to the vulgar

Chapter 266 The Last Hope of Buddhism
In the past few months, there have been many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the capital, as well as some nondescript and various kinds of prostitution.

The imperial court seems to adopt a laissez-faire state in this regard, as long as enough money is given, it will be built casually.

It happened that money was needed for disaster relief everywhere, so the emperor cut up the capital and sold it without hesitation.

The old emperor was more than 60 years old, and his decades of career as a prince made him not very fond of pleasure, and he only wanted to leave an evaluation of a wise king in the history of Dazhou before his death.

I have to say, this trick is very useful.

In these few months of construction, the imperial court earned a huge amount of money, and those practitioners were really rich, so much that even the emperor was shocked.

With money, the implementation of various policies is much easier, and a large amount of food is sent out, and the disasters in all parts of the world have been alleviated.

Feeling that this trick worked well, the emperor even asked Grand Master Pang to find a way to attract more practitioners to the capital to engage in real estate.

Anyway, there is a lot of wasteland near the capital, and those low hills and rotten land that cannot be cultivated are not wanted anyway, and those practitioners who build temples and Taoist temples are not picky, so they should be sold vigorously.After selling the land, not only can a large amount of money be harvested, but the consumption of burning incense and worshiping gods can also give the court a lot of tax money.

In the short term, this is an absolutely positive operation.

It's just that when going to court today, Taishi Pang didn't announce how much land he sold and how much money he made for the court with a happy face, but gave a memorial very solemnly.

The emperor opened his eyes, frowned and said, "Grand Master, you actually want to re-establish the position of national teacher? How long has it been since the matter of Qiansu Yaodao was resolved, have you forgotten?"

Grand Master Pang wrote in this memorial that because of the increasing number of practitioners in the capital, all kinds of chaos began to appear, and the imperial court needed to strengthen monitoring.

But this proposal was rejected by the emperor with almost no room for negotiation. Even the civil official group, which had always blindly followed the grand master, did not fully support it, but chose to remain silent.

Grand Master Pang's proposal was rejected, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction. He changed his words and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it's really inappropriate to re-establish the Grand Master. It's because the old officials didn't think carefully. The gathering of those who dare not practice in the capital really needs to be supervised. The old minister suggested that follow the example of Jinniu Guard, and set up a new guard to be responsible for the management of practitioners."

This time, no one objected to the proposal.

People are always willing to make a compromise. Between demolishing a house and opening windows, they often choose to open windows.Taishi Pang's move is the same, first throw out the re-established national division, and then propose to establish a new guard after being rejected, this time the resistance received is very small.

There are indeed too many practitioners, and all the civil and military officials present have been "harassed" by these practitioners, and many officials have been cheated of a lot of incense money.Hearing what Grand Master Pang said now, I agree with it in my heart.

The only question is, who can control practitioners?
Even those swindlers have a few tricks, how can ordinary people deal with them?
The old emperor still remembers very clearly that Daoran forced his way into the palace and killed his father time and time again in front of all civil and military officials.

None of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the imperial guards of the imperial city can help.

Even if they are willing to set up this guard, but they can't control the practitioners, what's the point?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the veteran has already made arrangements. The practitioners are all rebellious and have magical means. It is true that ordinary people cannot deal with them, but what if the practitioners are allowed to control the practitioners?"

The old emperor asked unexpectedly: "Oh, are they willing to be driven by the court?"

"Even Qiansu Yaodao wants the authority of the national teacher. It can be seen that the official position of our court is still useful to them. The veteran has also contacted some practitioners recently, and they are all very interested in the position of the national teacher. Although they cannot re-establish the country Teachers, but setting up a guard and giving a few generals with vacant titles may allow these practitioners to be used by the court."

Grand Master Pang's words won the approval of many people. The cultivators whom the court officials met recently more or less intended to ask them for an official.In this way, Taishi Pang's idea is correct, but how to avoid the lessons learned from the past needs to be carefully discussed.

The court quickly discussed the new guard house, and Taishi Pang was confident, pretending to be thinking of it just now, and told all the details that he had been thinking about for several months.

Everyone began to praise Taishi Pang for his foresight, and he was indeed the pillar of the country.

Finally, a guard named Beidouwei was confirmed to be established to recruit practitioners for use by the country.The Beidou Guard has three commanders, one chief, two deputy, and the subordinates have the same official positions as the Jinniu Guard.It's just that Beidouwei only has jurisdiction over matters related to practitioners, and does not overlap with other departments.

Although Grand Master Pang did not hold any position, everyone knew that this Beidouwei belonged to Grand Master Pang, because the emperor gave the right to recruit to Grand Master Pang, from the command envoy to the small banner officer, all were appointed by Grand Master Pang.

In this way, the entire Beidouwei will belong to Grand Master Pang.

When the news was released, the Grand Master's Mansion was crowded again, and the practitioners who came to seek officials before brought more treasures to the Grand Master's Mansion.

Taishi Pang still received everyone cheerfully, accepted every good thing, and offered several jobs to hundreds of households on the spot, but Taishi Pang, the three most important commanders, never let go.

Everyone understood that Grand Master Pang had other plans for the positions of the three commanders.

Within a few days, dozens of invitations were sent to various parts of the capital.

In the Mahabodhi Temple, Shali Shu handed the invitation card to Guan Xingyue.

"Brother, Grand Master Pang invited us to participate in the Dharma meeting, I am afraid that he wants us to compete for the positions of the three commanders."

Guan Xingyue read the contents of the invitation, and said very euphemistically, that is, to invite the abbot of Mahabodhi Temple to attend the upcoming Dharma conference and let him talk about Buddhism.

Guan Xingyue put down the invitation, and then said to Sha Lishu: "If junior brother wants to go, then go, I will continue to retreat."

Ever since she was fascinated by the devil for the second time, Guan Xingyue knew that she was not enough in practice, and once wanted to find Daoran, express her gratitude, and hope to learn from him, and at the same time help him complete the great cause of revitalizing Buddhism.

However, Dao ran behind closed doors.

Guan Xingyue couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have any resentment.

Being possessed twice made Guan Xingyue always vigilant. Whenever there was a little emotional fluctuation, he would think twice to ensure that he would no longer be controlled by the demon.

After returning to Mahabodhi Temple, Guan Xingyue chose to practice in seclusion, and made great progress in a few days.

Sha Lishu didn't see it that way. In his eyes, Guan Xingyue was obviously bullied by Dao Ran, and now she was discouraged and hid in the temple to escape reality.

Sha Lishu wanted to ask Daoran for an explanation. After all, they were also disciples of Buddhism and came to help him revitalize Buddhism. How could they treat him like this?
But after carefully inquiring about what happened that day, Sha Lishu gave up the idea of ​​visiting the teacher to inquire about the crime, because the gap between him and Daoran is too great, and coming to the door will only bring shame on himself.

Originally thought that this breath had to be swallowed, but now that Beidouwei's matter was full of quarrels, Sha Lishu changed his mind.

If he can get the position of commander, maybe he can borrow the power of the Great Zhou court to make Daoran suffer a little.

Just when Sha Lishu had this idea, a strange voice sounded deep in his heart: "It's not for personal grievances, but for the sake of the common people. Beidouwei supervises the world's monks and Taoists. Only those who can gain power can revitalize Buddhism. This time it is the right way. It's like Taoism." However, the practice of shutting out the world will only lead to the decline of Buddhism."

Sha Lishu only felt that the Lingtai was clear and bright, and the mana in his body was circulating uncontrollably, and his mana was soaring every time he moved it.

Sha Lishu understood that he had an epiphany!

"Yes, this is not a personal grudge. I am also working hard to revitalize Buddhism."

Sha Lishu's face was flushed, all the previous haze and resentment were swept away, and he felt that even his realm had been sublimated.

But he didn't realize that there was a short blue-skinned demon standing behind him, who was the demon Bodhisattva Tiradada.

Looking at the smug Shali tree, Tirodado said with emotion: "This generation of Buddhist disciples is too easy to degenerate. No wonder the devil will look at Daoran differently. As long as he becomes a demon, Buddhism will have no hope.

"However, this monk Daoran seems to have all six impurities and five poisons, but he can always restrain himself at critical moments. How can he be enchanted?"
