I joined the army for my father, and I took Hua Mulan to build infrastructure.

Chapter 225: Buddhism is so powerful, and the pursuit of death continues

In the ancient city of Chang'an, there was no Tang Dynasty, no Sui Dynasty, and no Li Shimin at this time.

Some are just thousands of troops stationed in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When Tuoba Tao went on this expedition, even the Imperial Master Kou Qianzhi accompanied him all the way, fearing that this unlucky man would be slapped to death by a passing master from the Southern Dynasties...

Overtly and secretly, Tuoba Tao has been assassinated by many Jianghu people from the Southern Dynasties. Kou Qianzhi is very busy, very busy!

I would sit on Tuoba Tao's roof every night, fearing that something might happen to him.

Kou Qianzhi's original intention was not to start a war with the Southern Dynasty, but he had already spoken out about unifying the Nine Provinces, so he could only protect Tuoba Tao, who was unlucky enough to fight with Liu Yilong...

Half a month ago, if Kou Qianzhi had not stopped him, Tuoba Tao would have uprooted Buddhism in order to expand his army. With Kou Qianzhi's advice, Tuoba Tao ordered monks under the age of fifty to return to secular life and join the army. , instead of destroying Buddhism.

On that day, the two armies stopped fighting, and Tuoba Tao took several hundred riders to the outskirts of Chang'an to relax.

Of course, what he meant by relaxing was that he wanted to go to the famous temple in the outskirts of Chang'an City to see if the monks were as miserable as Cui Hao described.

The wheat seedlings in early spring stretched as far as the eye could see. Tuoba Tao led people walking on the path in the middle, feeling relaxed and happy.

Looking at the wheat seedlings, Tuoba Tao asked the former Chang'an official: "The wheat seedlings here are vigorous and well managed. I wonder which family in Chang'an Prefecture they belong to?"

In fact, it was better not to ask. When I asked, the official said: "Your Majesty, the ten thousand acres of land around here belong to that Buddhist temple. I heard that the number of farm laborers exceeds three thousand." The official pointed.

Tuoba Tao smiled and looked at the extraordinary temple in the distance. He said: "Let's go with the others to the temple to see which Buddha is so impressive."

A crowd of people arrived at the temple gate, and a group of monks were so frightened that they quickly called the abbot to come out to greet them.

Tuoba Tao's previous actions could be said to have greatly offended the Buddhists. Although the abbot was dissatisfied, he still warmly entertained Tuoba Tao.

It is worth mentioning that the abbot is a Han Chinese, with a fat head, big ears and a smile, which makes it difficult for people to have any bad intentions towards him.

Tuoba Tao looked at the abbot and said, "Let's have lunch in your temple. I wonder if it's convenient for the abbot?"

The abbot smiled inwardly and said: "Convenient! Of course it is convenient! Your Majesty has come all the way, so we monks naturally want to show their friendship as landlords. We also invite your Majesty to go to the side hall and deliver the food as soon as possible!"

Tuoba Tao nodded, and then he led a group of officials and generals to the side hall, preparing to eat for free...

A novice monk said in front of the abbot: "These barbarian emperors are so unreasonable. Abbot, they are here to eat for free!"

The abbot chuckled and said: "Barbarians naturally like to take advantage. Let them eat. How much food can they eat? By the way, I heard that these barbarians also like to drink. Go and make a few jars of the wine in the cellar and give it to the barbarian emperor. Send it away. Don’t say that our temple is not hosting you well. Remember to guard the cellar door so that the barbarians don’t discover it!”

The novice nodded and went to bring the wine.

Tuoba Tao ate steamed buns, white rice porridge, radish, pickles, tofu, and while eating, he did not forget to remind everyone to eat more...

While they were eating, they saw several novice monks come in with altar wine and put it on the table, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is the wine that my abbot asked us to bring to you. Please enjoy it." After saying this, several people understood the meaning. Resign.

Tuoba Tao frowned as he looked at these jars of wine. Is there such a thing as wine in this temple?
Or do you think you look down on me and deliberately sent me wine to test me?

So Tuoba Tao said expressionlessly: "Go and follow the monks quietly. I want to see what kind of medicine the abbot sells in his gourd!"

In fact, the abbot really wanted to entertain Tuoba Tao, but he should not have brought out the wine. He thought that Tuoba Tao was unlucky because the barbarians did not understand the rules, so he entertained the barbarians in the same way...but the truth In the history, this temple was operated in this way, and it successfully aroused Tuoba Tao's curiosity.

After three generations of Chinese culture, how could Tuoba Tao not understand these rules?
There are many clear rules and precepts in Buddhism, but they are clean!

After a cup of tea, I saw a general coming and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, there is a cellar in the backyard of this temple, and it is guarded by monks. We did not alert the snake to go in, but after smelling the aroma of the wine, I It’s coming from inside that there’s something wrong with this temple!”

Tuoba Tao smiled and said: "If you have a problem, that's right. Send me military orders to surround this temple immediately and drive out these monks. I want to see what good things are hidden in this cellar." , there are still people deliberately guarding it!”

"As ordered!"

The Wei army, which had been freeloading just a moment ago, suddenly rushed out of the side hall and took control of all the monks in the temple!
The abbot thought something was wrong, and quickly said to Tuoba Tao: "Why does your Majesty treat my Buddhist disciples like this? We will give you food if you want, and we will give you drink if you want. Could it be that Your Majesty really wants to invade my temple regardless of etiquette and law?"

The old god Tuoba Tao sat comfortably in the courtyard and said: "No need to say more, after a cup of tea, I will be able to see your true face."

"Report! Your Majesty, the monk in the backyard resisted and was shot to death by random arrows from our army!"

"Report! Your Majesty, hundreds of jars of fine wine were found in the cellar, as well as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep raised in captivity!"

"Report! Meat was found in the kitchen. These monks eat meat!"

"Report! There is no less than half a million gold and silver found deep in the cellar!"

Tuoba Tao's face became darker the more he heard the soldiers' reports.

So he looked at the abbot and asked: "It's true that seeing it is better than hearing it a hundred times. This is the Buddhism of our country of Wei? I have seen it! You are amassing money and land under the guise of a Bodhisattva, but you are living a life like a local emperor. Come on, People! Put all these monks in the prison cells of Chang’an County and await their punishment!”

However, the sound of soldiers coming to report has not stopped yet!
I saw a panting soldier running up to Tuoba Tao, kneeling down on one knee, and shouted: "Report! Your Majesty, more than a hundred civilian women were found in the wing in the backyard. It is said, it is said..."

Tuoba Tao quickly interrupted and asked: "Speak directly! What do these folk girls do?"

The soldier said with great grief: "Your Majesty, according to the monk's confession, these women were kept in captivity by this group of monks to play with! Their hearts are so cruel!"

Tuoba Tao suddenly stood up and shouted: "How dare you? How dare you act like this?"

This matter has definitely touched Tuoba Tao's innermost feelings!

The reverse scale of the dragon will kill you if you touch it.

Tuoba Tao pulled out the long knife of the guard beside him and slashed at the abbot!

puff!

Blood flowed.

Tuoba Tao was extremely angry at this time. This happened under his rule. Who dared to do these things in Pingcheng?
Even the nobles kept it secret. I didn't expect that this group of monks would dare to do this. I couldn't imagine how many evil things had been done in private by so many temples and monks in Wei State?

So Tuoba Tao shouted: "Bring all these monks out to me and chop them down! Send an order to the Prince of the Supervisory State to wipe out the Buddhist sect in Wei State for me. They have done all their evil deeds and must die!"

This is the historical incident of Taiwu exterminating Buddhism. Buddhism’s actions have touched Tuoba Tao’s bottom line and must be dealt with!
