I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 122
In mid-April, Princess Zhao Yuanhui of Heyang married Wu Yaoshi, the son of King Yan.The scene was lively and grand, following the wedding day of Marquis Wu'an and Princess Ningguo.

And on the same day, the news that Ge Luolu and other dozens of forging slave tribes at the foot of Jinshan rebelled against the royal court also spread from Hexi via Longyou Pass, and it took two months to reach Shangjing.

The Emperor Daojun smiled directly at the prince next to him, "Is this double happiness?"

A few days later, King Qi was appointed Taining Army Envoy, and rushed to Yanzhou Governor Zhenyuan Hou Wangbin to practice.

Prince Zhao Yuantan was ordered to inspect Longyou in Guanzhong.

at the same time.The edict was issued under the door.The monks and nuns who have different practices and do not abide by the precepts are required to return to the vulgar. The imperial edict reads: "All monks and nuns in the world will be relieved of burning exercises, spells, restraining breath, carrying troops, stick marks on their bodies, bird writing, miscellaneous writing skills, who have committed adultery and adopted wives, and do not practice the precepts. Walkers, and return to vulgarity. If monks and nuns have money, grain buckets, fields, and manors, they will be accepted by officials. If you cherish money, you can petition to return to vulgarity, and you will also be relegated to return to vulgarity, and you will be charged with two taxes and corvee."

Later, an imperial edict was issued to limit the number of slaves kept by monks and nuns, and emphasized that slaves should not be shaved or shaved.And the monks are not allowed to wear purple clothes, only Taoist priests are allowed to wear them.

Some ordered the burning of [-] volumes of "Nirvana Sutra" and [-] volumes of "Dayuan Yizi Jinglue" written by Wei Zongqingjin of Dali Temple.

The edict said that Wei Zongqing was a fan of evil spirits because he respected the ranks, obeyed Confucianism, and indulged in heresy. ······ Kuang non-holy words should be banned, and foreign teachings can be spread safely.

On April 230 alone, a total of 250 monks and nuns returned from the left street of the capital, and [-] monks and nuns returned from the right street.

The raised knife finally fell down.

Daming Palace, in the huge palace, apart from the Daojun emperor, only the prime minister left servant shot Li Fuzhi, right servant shot Xie Qian, Luozhou governor Fu Maoxiu, British Duke Fu Maoxiu, and the commander of the guards and military division who had just returned to Shangjing, Pingbei Hou Mawei , four court ministers.

I saw that Emperor Daojun Zhao Lingyuan marked 33 red "crosses" with Zhu Pi on a map of the surrounding area of ​​Shangjing.

"These 33 small temples are all on the list of forbidden destruction. The Sutra Buddha was moved into the big temple, and the bell was sent to the Taoist priests. The monks and nuns who did not follow the precepts in the demolished temples, and the young monks and nuns who practiced the precepts were all ordered to return to the vulgar and recursively. There are still years Old monks and nuns who practice precepts will be betrothed to big temples, and all their land will be confiscated.”

Li Fuzhi immediately understood the deep meaning. The purpose of this decree is particularly obvious. Returning to vulgarity at a young age is to compete with the temple for labor. As for the betrothed to a big temple at an old age, it is to avoid increasing the pressure on the local area after repatriating the old monk and shifting the pressure of the old monk’s support. to the temple.

The common people may think that the reason why the Emperor Daojun killed the Buddhist temples was simply because of the change in the Shangyuan Palace.

But both inside and outside the court knew that the real reason was the court's lack of wealth, and Buddhism showed some strength and financial resources that were unacceptable to the court.

Temples occupy a large amount of land but do not pay taxes, and temple bells and Buddhas consume a lot of copper.This has led to less and less copper used by the imperial court to make money, and as the wealth accumulated by the temples has increased, Buddhist temples around the world have also started lending, pawning and other businesses.

Some monasteries even take advantage of believers' fear of doomsday in the name of the approaching end of the Dharma.

Moreover, the monastery established the "Baitian Healing Workshop" from the time of Emperor Gaozong, responsible for managing the three courtyards of Beitian, medical treatment, and medicine. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, an edict was issued to house all the poor children in the capital in the sickrooms of the temples.And these good governance also turned into money-making activities for the temple in the later period.

In addition, holding rituals in temples is also a channel for making money.

Many of the monasteries most unbearable to the court trained monks and kept weapons in their possession.This is not the same as ordinary people practicing martial arts during the slack season.These monks don't want to serve the court.

There is money, land, and people.

This means that if this situation is allowed to continue, Buddhism may even show its strength and ability to stand against the imperial court.

This is absolutely unbearable for any sane emperor.

"There is King Yong in Guanzhong, Duke Dingguo in Hedong, Duke Wei in Jiangnan, King Chu in Xiangzhou, Marquis Wuyang in Shuofang, King Shu in Jiannan Road, Marquis Wu'an in Lianghuai, and British Duke in the important areas of Gyeonggi. , King of Zhou, Marquis of Pingbei, I am only worried about the states of Hebei. Can you choose?"

Emperor Daojun's eyes once again fell on the map of the world behind him.

Fu Maoxiu thought briefly and said: "I recommend Anyuan Hou Qiuming."

Zhao Lingyuan thought for a moment and asked, "What does Xiang Li think?"

Li Fuzhi said: "The Marquis of Anyuan is quite knowledgeable about military affairs, and he followed King Wuyi and Duke Dingguo to conquer the Quartet successively. He is an excellent candidate, but I don't know where Your Majesty plans to put Marquis Anyuan."

Zhao Lingyuan looked at Fu Maoxiu again, only to see that the bearded man thought for a while and said: "Weizhou. Once there is something in Hebei, you can go north along the canal."

"Okay, order Anyuan Hou Qiuming to be the governor of Weizhou, to control Wei, Xiang, Ming, De, Bei, Bo, Yu and other states, and envoys to hold festivals."

Although the Dudu Mansion of the Jin Dynasty is permanent, except for the border areas, there are occasional vacancies for the Dudu in the interior.Especially Gyeonggi-do, Hebei-do, Guanzhong, and Shannan-do, which are nearer to Beijing.

This time, in order to smoothly advance the imperial edict, the 24 governor's mansions of the Jin Dynasty were fully staffed for the first time.The selection is still the clan and honorable ministers.

The determination of the emperor is evident.

After the discussion, the two prime ministers naturally returned to the political affairs hall together.

Pingbei Hou Mawei planned to go out of the palace with Fu Maoxiu and find a wine shop for a drink.

Ma Wei is regarded as a confidant of the Emperor Daojun. In his early years, he was a well-known dude in the capital with Zhou Wang Zhao Lingzhan, Fu Maoxiu and others. He made friends with the Emperor Daojun. Hexi has fought a few battles, and he is considered to be a soldier of the previous generation of honorable children, and he has become a famous general after coming and going.

After the Shangyuan Palace Change, the Emperor Daojun also transferred him to the capital on purpose to take charge of the imperial army, which is enough to show his trust.

Fu Maoxiu joked: "You have stayed in Shuofang for several years, and your face is full of wind and frost."

Ma Wei said with a smile: "Of course I can't compare to Duke Ying. I don't have a good son like Saburo to fight for me, so I can only work hard on my own."

Fu Maoxiu said: "Why do these words sound so sour?"

Ma Wei sighed and said: "I envy you for having a good son. Look at Saburo, and look at those incompetent boys in my family, really."

Fu Maoxiu directly exposed the shortcoming: "Ping Beihou forgot that when you hadn't gone to Shuofang a few years ago, you told me that the boys in the Yi family don't worry, they are not as naughty as San Lang, why do you forget now?"

Ma Wei blushed and said, "Isn't it because I was blind at the time?"

Two old friends were walking in the corridor of the palace, but there was a young eunuch walking quickly, holding a box containing a playlist in his hand. The two of them could see at a glance that the box and the seal on it represented eight Baili is in a hurry.

"Did you see the seal on it?"

"Like Hebei."

"Something is going to happen"

On the other side, Emperor Daojun had just sent away a few important ministers, and was sitting down to take a sip of tea, when he saw Tian Fuguo coming in with an urgent [-]-mile report box.

When Emperor Daojun saw the seal on it, he secretly thought that something was wrong, because only important military affairs could be expedited by eight hundred miles.

He sighed and said, "Open it."

Five days ago, Hengzhou, outside Famen Temple.

Monk Huiqing was on the steps from the entrance of the temple, looking at the crowd below, his heart was turbulent.

"You, plowing in the fields every day, only want to have a full meal, but you are hungry every day."

"You, pray to God and Buddha every day, just to be safe and still suffer from illness."

"You, suffer humiliation every day, but support those nobles in the court with extravagance"

"Haven't you had enough of these days?"

"The Great Jin court is not benevolent. Last night I had a dream about Maitreya, asking me to overthrow the Great Jin court and establish a Buddhist kingdom on earth."

"A new Buddha is born, all demons are eliminated, Maitreya is reincarnated, and the land of Buddha is on earth."

Huiqing shouted loudly.

Then the dense crowd below also shouted together, "The new Buddha is born, get rid of all the demons, Maitreya reincarnated, and the Buddha kingdom on the ground"

"A new Buddha is born, get rid of all the demons, Maitreya reincarnates, and the land of Buddha"

"A new Buddha is born, get rid of all the demons, Maitreya reincarnates, and the land of Buddha"

Seeing the obsessive chanting of the believers below, Huiqing's heart calmed down. He scanned the crowd and saw the homeless monk from the Western Regions nodding slightly at him.

In the 18th year of Xuanjia in the Great Jin Dynasty, in mid-April, Huiqing, a monk from Hengzhou, and Liu Bogui, a powerful man, jointly staged an incident. Huiqing took Liu Guibo as the Bodhisattva of the Ten Residences, the Commander of the Pingmo Army, and the King of Dingnan, and called himself Mahayana.Conquer the county seat, kill the county magistrate, and raise the banner of anti-Jin.

Hengzhou was in turmoil, and the two rivers shook.
