Chapter 277: Buddhism That's right, I'm afraid that even Li Zhen himself couldn't imagine that he still has an enemy hidden in the shadows, that is, Buddhism, and when it comes to hostility towards himself, Buddhism is not much worse than Confucianism and the family.
But it's not surprising to think about it, Buddhism's impression of Li Zhen has never been very good, not to mention that Li Zhen did some things later, which made most people in the Buddhist family hate Li Zhen to the extreme (the reason why most people are said here is because there are still some real monks in Buddhism who don't care about Li Zhen, such as the master of debate who once accepted Li Zhen's funding to preach, they are the real disciples of Buddhism, far from being comparable to those fake monks with fat brains).
First of all, when Li Zhen made up his origin, he put his origin on the head of Zhen Yuanzi, although the Taoist classics did not include this immortal, but there was news of his best friend Hongyun Ancestor, although it was just a few words, but there is no doubt that these two are Taoist ancestors, and they are definitely one of the Taoist ancestors, and their status is no less than that of the Three Qing and Four Emperors.
Not to mention anything else, just from the name, you can hear that this is definitely a Taoist immortal - anyway, I haven't heard of any master of Buddhism, what is the Dharma name, or what is the ancestor.
Therefore, Li Zhen, who has obtained the inheritance of Zhenyuan Daxian, is a Taoist disciple in the eyes of outsiders, and he is also a true Taoist tradition, and his status is much more orthodox than the so-called Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Dao or Louguan Dao (one of the main sects of Taoism in the early days, which was once very prosperous in the Tang Dynasty).
In addition, Li Zhen himself is also more inclined to Taoism, a changed version of "The Flood Wilderness" that year, directly classified Buddhism into the Taoist side door, Buddhism was hit hard, and it was sluggish for a long time, and even saw the Taoist disciples unconsciously shorter, which greatly lost the prestige of Buddhism.
Later, Li Zhen blatantly made 'troubled times, Taoist priests went down the mountain to save people, and monks closed the mountain; In the prosperous era, the Taoist priest returned to the mountain to practice, and the monk went down the mountain to deceive', although the couplet is short, but the admiration for Taoism contained in it, as well as the disparagement of Buddhism, are hidden in the cracks of every word, which pushes him to the opposite side of Buddhism.
Although Li Shimin later stood up to refute the rumors that it was not Li Zhen's doing, but someone wrote it in the name of Li Zhen, and the people basically accepted this point of view, but what is the truth of the matter, it is estimated that as long as people with a little bit of power know - this is what Li Zhen did, and only Li Zhen has the courage to do this, and others do not have the confidence to do so.
It is foreseeable that if Li Zhen is really to be put on the throne, then among the forces that are destined to be suppressed, if the family and Confucianism can be ranked in the top two, the third place must be Buddhism, so how can Buddhism not be in a hurry?
What's more, what is Li Zhen doing now?
He's attacking Nanyang.
And what is Nanyang?
This is the base camp of Buddhism.
Whether it is a small country such as Linyi or Chenla, or the queen's kingdom Pandandan, or even the kingdom of Charentra far away overseas (after Funan was annexed by Chenla, Prince Funan ran to a country established on the island of Java, also known as the Mountain Emperor.
They all believed in Buddhism, and although they believed in different sects, they all came out of the same family after all, and their relationship with Middle-earth Buddhism was never severed.
But what did Li Zhen do in Nanyang?
He actually led a large army to attack this Pure Land of Buddhism.
He wanted the Tang Dynasty to annex Nanyang.
It's nothing, turning Nanyang into your own territory, maybe it will be more convenient to travel in the future.
The problem is Li Zhen's policy—he is ready to turn everyone in Nanyang into slaves......
This makes Buddhism a little difficult to accept, not to mention how many killings are going to be done, and how many Buddhists are among these people who are killed?
In terms of interests, this is also contrary to the interests of Buddhism.
Oh, you have degraded everyone as slaves, but you are comfortable, Datang has an endless labor force.
But what about us?
Nanyang has not even had a figure since then.
No one, let's teach a fart?
Still making a little money for a fart?
…… I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please ignore this sentence, the Buddha will bless you......
Therefore, for the prosperity and inheritance of Buddhism, for the peace of the world, for the prosperity of humanitarianism, and for the sake of ......
Don't care what it's for, anyway, Li Zhen, you are destined to not inherit the throne, otherwise the Buddha will eliminate the Taoist, and our Buddhism will really be crushed by the Daomen, and we will still teach a fart?
How can you fool people?
"In any case, the Buddhist family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the heritage is still there, and with their joining, our plan is really foolproof."
The cold voice said with a hint of coldness: "No matter how Li Zhen calculates, he must not have calculated that there will be people from the Buddhist Sect who will stand up and unite with us, even if Li Zhen sees our plan and makes full preparations, once the Buddhist Sect is killed, it will definitely disrupt his position and let him collapse without a fight." ” The cold voice was right, at this time, Li Zhen really didn't know that among his enemies, there was actually a hidden family—or that he didn't expect that Buddhism would go against him at all.
Because in his mind, Buddhism is, after all, a religion that persuades people to be good, although there are some black sheep, but this cannot be avoided, and other sects cannot be said to have absolutely no bad people.
As for the Shaolin Temple scandal in later generations, it was in later generations after all, the times have changed, and there is no lower limit to people's temperament, so it is not surprising to do anything - after all, in the later generations when you can make a fortune by touching porcelain, what is it for a monk to eat meat and drink wine and marry a daughter-in-law?
But that was in the afterlife, and people in this era should still be very simple.
I have to say that Li Zhen is too naïve, and she also thinks highly of the discipline of people in this era, in fact, when it comes to bad people, no matter what era, it is actually the same.
Even the monks of this era had no discipline, and the monks of later generations ate some meat, drank some wine, ate some meat, and occasionally wrapped a mistress, which seemed to be a great crime in later generations, but in ancient times, it was ......
It is also a big crime, but compared to the crime of seeking a country, eat some meat, drink some wine, and raise a mistress and have an illegitimate child......
What's the point?
That's right, you heard it right, the ancient monks dared to seek the country.
The most typical example is in the Wu Zetian period, when Wu Zetian was already in the world, but she was still not satisfied and wanted to go further and become the emperor.
It's just that a woman is the emperor, which is really unprecedented in ancient China, not to mention the precedent, I am afraid that those powerful women in history have never dared to think about this stubble.
