Chapter 195 I Want To Be Daru Huachi!
It is impossible to ban Tantric Buddhism. Tantric Buddhism is the great Yuan religion, which was appointed by the three generations of Khan. It has been decades, how can it be banned because of two scandals?
Of course, Ahma did not expect the emperor to issue an order to ban Tantric Buddhism. What he needed was to inspire Khan's disgust with Tantric Buddhism. Now that Khan is already angry with Tantric Buddhism, he can add fuel to the fire and add insult to the injustice, and he can step on it hard.
He knew very well that Dahan cared about his opinion.
Ahema also requested to change the birthday celebration date to September 30th.
Soon, Ahema's advice to abolish the Tantric Church was rejected, but he followed the request to postpone the birthday celebration for two days.
On September 29, the emperor issued an edict to rectify the once extremely powerful Xuanzhengyuan and ordered all provinces to investigate and deal with illegal tantric affairs.
Ah Hema's request still worked.
Within one day, more things were exposed, a large number of high-level monks were dismissed and the Tantric forces were defeated.
Everyone knows that the Emperor (Khan) was really angry this time. The "Khan of the Khan" has not been so angry for a long time. If it were just for the sake of Dewang Langma's rebellion and Yang Lianzhenjia's defection, it would not seem like it.
Soon, "rumor" began to spread. It was said that Dewang Langma had made the emperor's beloved concubine Lan Pu's stomach, which caused the death disaster.
"Rumors" blew across the entire capital like the wind and spread outward. But no one dared to report to the emperor again, for fear of being killed by the angry emperor.
The image of Tantric Lama became increasingly vulgar. If this continues, the decline of influence is inevitable.
It's like this late autumn weather, it's cold.
In the bitter and solemn autumn wind in most of the capital, the only thing that made the ministers feel relaxed was that Queen Chabi, who had not shown her face for many days, actually appeared at the court meeting on September 29th. Although she looked sick, she could still sit on the throne with the emperor on the throne to receive worship.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued an order to praise a Taoist priest named Zhang Sanfeng, and gave him the title of Zhenren Qingxuan, and praised him for curing the queen with Taoist elixirs. He also issued an order to praise the Taoist officials of Taoism.
Taoism was praised, while Tantric Buddhism was severely punished. As one rose and the other became worse, Taoism's momentum immediately suppressed Tantric Buddhism.
These are not counting. The originally scheduled "Third Buddhist and Taoist debate conference" was also cancelled. This is a great benefit to Taoism. Because the rules of the third debate are very unfair and extremely unfavorable to Taoism.
In the debate on Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism was defeated by the saying "Laozi transforms into Buddha". "Laozi transforms into Buddha" means that Taoism said to Buddhism: I am your father.
How could Buddhism do it? Tantra will not do it. They asked Kublai Khan to ask for debate and let the Taoists prove that "Laozi becomes Buddha". If the debate loses, they will convert to the other party.
As a result, the Taoists of course could not provide evidence to prove that "Laozi turned into Buddha", so they had to admit defeat and, according to the agreement, a large number of Taoists were ordained as monks.
The Taoist lost that time was embarrassing enough. But this time, the monks said that the Taoist sutras were false scriptures and asked the Taoists to prove that various Taoist sutras were true.
Originally, according to the principle of whoever claims and whoever provides evidence, since Tantric monks believe that the Taoist scriptures are false scriptures, they have the responsibility to prove it.
However, because Kublai Khan had protected Tantric Buddhism before, he actually asked Taoism to prove that the Taoist scriptures were true.
How to prove it? It is to let the Taoist sects take the Taoist sutras blessed by the Taoist mantra and walk through the fire. If the Taoist priests and Taoist sutras are not afraid of fire, it is the true sutra. Being burned by fire is the false sutra.
Isn’t this nonsense? However, the emperor is the emperor, and the Taoist priests are really troubled. They are worried these days.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the opponent Tantra fell out of his airs, and the Taoist priest Zhang Sanfeng also used elixirs to cure the queen who could not cure many people, greatly increasing the face of Taoism.
The third Buddhist debate on Taoism, which is unfair to lose, was also cancelled.
For Taoism, everyone is really happy!
The leader of Taoism and the envoy of Jixian Academy, Zhang Liusun, submitted a report to the emperor in court, recommending Zhang Sanfeng as the Grand Secretary of Jixian Academy, and re-appointing the position of "promoting points for all Taoisms in all roads".
The emperor approved the memorial and issued an order to designate Zhang Sanfeng as a college student in Jixian Academy, and all Taoist priests from all walks of life. Zhang Sanfeng jumped from a Taoist priest without a grade to a second-rank Taoist official.
This is the characteristic of the Yuan Dynasty system. Not only did monks and Taoist officials participate widely and deeply in politics, but the official selection and appointment system is also very rough. You are young and you are a priest, and you are promoted to three levels at a time. There are many cases of county magistrates being promoted to prefect in the morning and evening. This is unimaginable in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Otherwise, even if Zhang Sanfeng had the great achievements in healing the queen, he would not have become a Grand Secretary of Jixian Academy at once.
Zhang Sanfeng received the order and thanked him, but did not mention it.
"Li Siyi, you recommend that Zhenren Zhang be rewarded. After curing the Empress, Eji, father Khan and the emperor brother are very happy. Tell me, what reward do you want."
In the princess's mansion, Queen Goryeo said to Li Luo with a smile. She was in a very good mood today and looked much gentler.
She increasingly felt that Li Luo was a very powerful minister, smart, had many ways and was easy to use.
Li Luo knew that it would be better not to beat around the bush, but to express his thoughts directly for the noble Mongolian girl like Hu Du lost.
"Princess, I also want to officially become a minister of the Yuan Dynasty, but I am a Korean and want to serve the princess in the future. Therefore, I want to be an official in the place closest to the Goryeo capital, such as Ninghaizhou."
"Ninghaizhou and Goryeo are only separated by a strait, and they can arrive in one day by boat. In this way, even if I am an official in Ninghaizhou, I can still go back to Goryeo to pay homage to the princess at any time, which is very convenient for me to go back and forth."
Queen Goryeo smiled and said, "It turns out that you want to find a grassland on both sides to eat grass. Li Siyi, you are really a smart sheep. But that's fine. The position of the prefect of Ninghai Prefecture will be handled for you."
Li Luo smiled and said, "The good princess knows that I am... I want to be Daluhuachi, but not the magistrate. I am a princess, so how can I be willing to be a subordinate of others? That would also embarrass the princess!"
Daruwachi? Queen Goryeo was stunned.
Daluhachi is the highest official in a yamen, all of which were held by the Mongolians and Seme Huihui. Li Luo was just a Korean, could he be Daluhachi?
"Li Siyi, you are from Goryeo. It's really hard to deal with this Daruwachi." Queen Goryeo said.
Li Luo quickly winked at the retainer Yin Hou next to him.
Yin Hou immediately said, "Sir, there are also people from the Goryeo who are Daruwachi."
Queen Goryeo asked, "You're not lying?" She was not interested in these things and didn't know much.
Yin Hou said: "Sir, the Han people must not be the Dalu Hachi of the Yuan Dynasty. But the Koreans are not completely unable to be the Koryo people, but the number is very small. The humble ministers know that several Koryo people have been the Dalu Hachi. After all, the Koryo people are still much more reliable than the Han people."
Yin Hou is now "Anda long, Anda short" with Li Luo, so of course he has to say a few words to Li Luo.
The Queen of Goryeo heard that the Goryeo was not completely unable to be Daruhachi, but instead inspired her competitive spirit.
Since that's the case, it's really interesting. She must help Li Luo take down Daluhachi in Ninghaizhou. Otherwise, wouldn't she seem to be lost and incompetent?
"Since the Goryeo people may also be Daruwachi, then Li Si translated it, and I will promise you, Daruwachi. What kind of rank is Daruhachi in Ninghaizhou?" said the Queen of Goryeo.
Li Luo suddenly fell into the ground with a stone in his heart and said with a smile: "I thanked the princess. This Daluhuachi from Ninghaizhou is from the fourth rank."
Upgrading to the fourth rank is actually nothing. The key is Daru Wachi. Fortunately, he pretended to be a Korean. Otherwise, even if he was lost to help, he would not be Daru Wachi, a Han Chinese.
If it is not Daruwachi, he can only be a clerk. If he is a little older, he can't do anything. What can he do? It's different to be Daruwachi. In Ninghaizhou, as long as he is not out of line, he can do whatever he wants.
Queen Goryeo smiled and said, "But what is the value of a fourth-rank Daru Hachi! Li Siyi, within three days, you will be Daru Hachi!" She once again showed a competitive personality.
Chapter completed!
