Zongwu: A hundred-year-old Confucian saint was exposed, shocking the master

Chapter 55 Fang Mou Du Jue, the academy or the biggest winner? !

In the Tang Palace, Li Shimin confirmed the news of the fall of the monk Nagarjuna.

He hurriedly summoned Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the most trusted officials in the court, into the palace for discussion.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he was lost in thought.

Although there are no powerful Buddhist forces in the Tang Dynasty.

But the prevalence of Buddhism was even wider than that of other dynasties.

All ordinary people in the dawn of the world offer their own incense to the Buddha in the temple.

And the Buddhist temple that shelters many monks and cultivates them.

It also occupies a large area, and even the surrounding farmland is also owned by the temple.

The most important thing is that those good farmlands do not need to pay taxes to the imperial court!

And with Buddhist temples, more and more money has been accumulated.

Those monks took out gold and silver, supplemented by religious bewitchment, and attracted the people around the temple.

All sold their ancestral fields to the temple at a cheap price.

From a Buddhist believer, he was completely reduced to a slave of the temple.

Farming for the temple, the fertile land sold by the family.

As time passed, more and more fields belonged to the Buddhist sect in the Tang Dynasty!
No matter how much food is produced, there will be no tax at all!

This situation has already attracted Li Shimin's attention!

Feeling the empress of Beimang's action to destroy Buddha, Li Shimin also understood what the empress did.

The existence of Buddhism is a hidden danger to any emperor in the world!
A cancer that is not conducive to the rule and the recuperation of the people!
However, for Datang, it was even more difficult to get rid of this tarsal disease.

Without him, it is only because the Tang Dynasty, which claims to be prosperous, is determined not to do that kind of thing that goes against the wishes of the people in the country.

Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the two ministers Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

He frowned and asked, "Now, I want to carry out an operation to destroy Buddha in the Tang Dynasty!"

"You two lovers, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other subconsciously!
They all saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Afterwards, the two came to understand again.

Buddhist culture became more and more concentrated in the Tang Dynasty.

And there are more and more fields belonging to the temple.

Now it has greatly affected the fiscal and taxation of the Tang court!

If there is not enough tax money and food, why did the Tang court make such a big move to improve people's livelihood?
Therefore, it is about exterminating the Buddha.

For the current Datang Sheji, it is definitely a national policy of "living in the present age, making contributions in the future".

However, in practice, there will be many troubles.

Fang Xuanling thought about it and said:

"Your Majesty, the extermination of Buddha is not only for the people of Tang Dynasty, but also for the imperial court."

"It's all a great thing! At the very least, it liberated many fertile fields that were stuck in Buddhism!"

"It's just that if we want to implement this kind of national policy, the difficulties are not small."

"Most of the people in the Tang Dynasty now believe in Buddhism. If the court rashly proposes to eradicate Buddhism, I'm afraid."

"It will attract strong resistance from the common people of the Tang Dynasty!"

Fang Xuanling did not persuade Li Shimin to give up the action of destroying Buddha.

Just to state objectively, the difficult point of this sport.

If this national policy is implemented bluntly, causing complaints from the people of the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely not be worth the candle!

After hearing this, Li Shimin was thoughtful.

Fang Xuanling did not raise objections, which means that the extermination of Buddhism has indeed played a huge role in promoting the development of Datang.

However, it is very difficult to implement it concretely!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face was full of worry.

Du Ruhui's eyes swirled, and at this moment he opened his mouth and said:

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the matter of exterminating the Buddha is not difficult!"

Du Ruhui said this, no matter whether it was Li Shimin or Fang Xuanling.

They all cast surprise eyes on Du Ruhui.

If there is a surefire way to break this situation, it will be a matter of great merit for the entire Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin looked at Du Ruhui in surprise, and urged him eagerly:

"Keming, if you have a good idea, tell me quickly!"

"This Buddhism has taken root in my Tang Dynasty so far, and it has become a tarsal disease."

"If you can get rid of this stubborn cancer, you should be the number one hero!"

Having received such a promise from the emperor, Du Ruhui hastily said with a smile:

"Your Majesty must have proposed such an idea this time."

"Is it because of the fall of the Buddhist monk Nagarjuna who resisted the tripod!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Du Ruhui went on to say:

"I don't know your Majesty, but with the fall of the No.1 Buddhist sect"

"In the whole world, all the Buddha statues in temples have their heads severed?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin immediately attracted all his attention.

There is also such information in the secret letter sent by the bad person.

However, Li Shimin's focus was on the fall of monk Nagarjuna.

He didn't pay much attention to the various changes in the world after that.

While Li Shimin's thoughts were floating, he slowly said to Du Ruhui:

"You mean, you can make some articles on this matter?"

Du Ruhui smiled and said:

"That's right! The common people believe in Buddhism, it's nothing more than seeking a spiritual sustenance!"

"Now all the Buddha statues in the world are beheaded, which has aroused the panic of the people."

"If this is the case, we, as the imperial court, will tell the people of the Tang Dynasty widely. The Buddha's beheading is because Buddhism is an evil demon that confuses the people and arouses the wrath of the heavens, so God's punishment is sent down!"

"Add means, such as digging out a stone tablet in a certain place, on which the record of the evil Buddha in the sky is engraved!"

"In this way, people's belief in Buddhism will definitely be greatly reduced!"

"The matter of destroying the Buddha can go on!"

Hearing Du Ruhui's high opinion, Li Shimin suddenly became enlightened!
The people in this world believe in the most, and it is definitely the heaven above everyone's head!

Compared with it, what is Buddhism?
Since ancient times, when emperors came to the throne, they had to call themselves the Son of Heaven in order to gain the support of the people!

It can be seen how high heaven is in the hearts of the people!
In the name of heaven, do the way to destroy Buddha!

Absolutely!

Li Shimin was overjoyed with this good strategy!
He praised Du Ruhui:
"Keming, you still have more ideas!"

"This method is good, as long as you follow this vision, pour sewage on Buddhism!"

"It can cut off the root of the common people's belief in Buddhism!"

"Without this vast number of believers, there are not many masters in the Buddhist sect in the Tang Dynasty! In such a situation, how can we face our army?"

Li Shimin's imperial spirit was fully displayed, and he thought that he would soon eliminate this stubborn disease for Datang.

Li Shimin's whole body became more energetic!

Next, he discussed the specific matters of exterminating the Buddha with the two ministers of humerus in the court!

At this point, it must be done absolutely, to the extent that the Tang Dynasty has no Buddha!

At this time, I was thinking about Buddhism.

It's not just the Tang Empire.

The Ming Empire, which is next to the Tang Dynasty, is now also experiencing ups and downs because of the Buddhism incident!
