Comprehensive martial arts: Summon the thunder and lightning general, I will rule the world

"Evil Dao?" Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows. Was it because of Chi You?
If it was Chi You's influence, it seems normal for Buddhists to be possessed by demons.

But, coming back to the point, why is Buddhism so evil? There was a great war between Zhu Houzhao himself and the Zen Buddhism. Because of Zhu Houzhao, most of the Zen Buddhism's land immortals died.

Then when the Yuan Dynasty went to war, the Tantric Sect was not very honest and was directly put on a bounty by Zhu Houzhao. Those guys in the Qinglong Society were also very powerful, and because of this bounty, the power of the Tantric Sect was suppressed to the greatest extent.

Buddhism could not develop in the Qin Dynasty, and now it cannot develop even in Japan.

The masters of Buddhism have suffered heavy losses in recent times and are now being suppressed in various ways.

The Buddhist community is definitely having a hard time nowadays, but Zhu Houzhao is very interested in its future. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Despite the suppression by Zhu Houzhao and Ying Zheng, the Buddhist community now supports Li Shimin. In fact, Zhu Houzhao is also very curious about what kind of methods Li Shimin will demonstrate in the future.

Buddhism must have a very rich foundation, there is no doubt about this and no one can deny it.

Anyone who looks down on Buddhism will surely die a miserable death in the end.

But whether it is Zhu Houzhao or Ying Zheng, at present, it seems that they are not very afraid of Buddhism. Although Buddhism is indeed powerful, it also has a large number of land gods and immortals. Even now, Zhu Houzhao believes that Buddhism has a large number of land gods and immortals that have not been taken action.

But for the Qin and Ming dynasties, Buddhism is just a doctrine. Perhaps they can still cause a huge stir within their own country, but at worst they can just suppress it directly.

This point is particularly important to Zhu Houzhao. The current Buddhism makes Zhu Houzhao feel that there are hidden dangers.

Ever since Zhu Houzhao suppressed the Shaolin Temple, Buddhism has become much more obedient, especially after Zhu Houzhao's military strength became increasingly powerful, now Buddhism has almost disappeared.

At least they no longer show up in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but the more low-key and honest they are, the more uneasy Zhu Houzhao becomes, even if they cooperate with Zhu Houzhao's policies.

The hidden dangers of these Buddhists are too great. In the feudal dynasties, since the emergence of Buddhism, many prosperous times were achieved by suppressing Buddhism, such as the Kaiyuan Prosperity.
Many people say that Li Longji is a waste, saying that the Kaiyuan Prosperity was only good for a few emperors in the early Tang Dynasty, and that Li Longji was nothing great.

However, Zhu Houzhao wanted to point out that if Li Longji had lived 20 years less and had not done those outrageous things in his later years, based on Li Longji's early behavior, he would definitely be a wise ruler who could be ranked in the top ten. Even in the top five, Li Longji would be competitive.

Among them, suppressing Buddhism was one of Li Longji's measures.

His early reforms were very effective and greatly promoted the development of the Tang Dynasty. He can be said to be a benchmark for wise rulers throughout the ages.

It’s just a pity that Li Longji became too successful before, and then the Tang Dynasty declined in his hands.

You know, the Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of human feudal dynasties.

Such a decline is truly unexpected.

Li Shimin must have known the harm of Buddhism, but at this time he had no other choice.

If he did not accept the support of Buddhism, then Li Shimin would never have another chance. Moreover, the aristocratic families also stood on Li Shimin's side. Suddenly accepting the power of the aristocratic families could indeed enhance the strength of his country in a short period of time.

But in the long run, aristocratic families will also restrict the country.

Just like Zhu Houzhao wielded the butcher knife against the officials, gentry and landlords, Ying Zheng is now also wielding the butcher knife against the nobles of the six countries.

Perhaps in the original history, Ying Zheng would not have done this. In Zhu Houzhao's view, why did the Qin Dynasty fall?
This was related to the relationship between Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, as well as Ying Zheng's overly high self-esteem. He liked to take everything of the Qin Dynasty on himself. In Zhu Houzhao's words, he was the Qin Dynasty. He didn't even think about how to plan for the future of the Qin Dynasty. He believed that the Qin Dynasty had already eliminated all its enemies, so the Qin Dynasty could naturally continue to be passed on.

Indeed, there were changes of dynasties before the Qin Dynasty, but that was because the countries that changed dynasties themselves had considerable strength. The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were just co-rulers.

But the Qin Dynasty was different. The whole world belonged to the Qin Dynasty. No other country could invade the Qin Dynasty. Without such a country, it was naturally impossible to change dynasties.

However, sometimes the danger within is the most deadly.

Before the Qin Dynasty, no dynasty had been destroyed by peasant uprisings, and this was something Ying Zheng would never have thought of.

This is not because Ying Zheng and his ministers were not good enough, but because of the limitations of vision and history.

But in this world, Ying Zheng has become different. He is not so stubborn and self-righteous. He can also witness the history of other countries and learn a lot.

As for the nobles within the Qin territory, Ying Zheng would only restrain them. After all, he would still have to rely on these people to conquer the world in the future.

However, as for the nobles of the six countries, if they can be used, they will be used, but if they cannot be used, they will be suppressed or even killed.

Keeping these people here will only cause trouble. Sooner or later they will endanger Daqin in the future. It is better to get rid of them early.

Anyway, it’s not like Ying Zheng couldn’t kill people. Moreover, the aristocracy of the Qin Dynasty was eager to wipe out all the remnants of the six kingdoms.

In this way, no one can compete with you for the official position.

Of course, it is impossible to wipe them all out, but it is also obvious that Ying Zheng attacked the nobles of the six countries.

Now, not only the nobles of the six countries are being attacked, but also the aristocratic families on the Han side are within Ying Zheng's attack range.

This also led to many aristocratic families of the Han Dynasty fleeing to the Tang Dynasty to join Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was also very troubled by this. If it were not for the relationship with the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty could actually attack the Han Dynasty.

After all, the martial arts world of the Han Dynasty was at odds with the Han Dynasty itself, and many of the Han Dynasty's aristocratic families supported Li Shimin and wanted him to fight against the Qin Dynasty.

It's just that the aristocratic families have never seemed to look up to the Han Dynasty itself, and they have no extravagant hope that the Han Dynasty can really defeat the Qin Dynasty.

But in Li Shimin's view, although the Han Dynasty was a delicious piece of meat, it could not withstand the fact that the Sui Dynasty was right next to him, and the aristocratic families there were also willing to support Li Shimin.

The most crucial thing is that Yang Guang wanted to attack the Tang Dynasty. This was not a secret. In fact, Li Shimin knew about it before Yang Guang invaded the Tang Dynasty.

Like Li Shimin, Yang Guang would not have had much chance of survival if he had not invaded the Tang Dynasty.

It is indeed very dangerous to snatch food from the mouth of the Ming Dynasty. If the two countries of Sui and Tang had a chance to merge, then things would be different. (End of this chapter)
