Chapter 983 The public opinion offensive has victory and defeat
Nowadays, Ciyun Temple has been changed by Gao Jingfei, and it is a famous jungle in Chengdu. The abbot of the temple, the monk Zhitong, has strict precepts and monks have very good rules. It is difficult for Emei and others to find out any mistakes.
The Huashan Sect is even more seldom born in the deep mountains. After being cleaned by the Taoist Taoist, those who can stay are not evil people. Not to mention high morals and pure goodness, at least they don’t bother to do evil.
However, if you really pick the bones in the egg and look at people with a magnifying glass, it is still possible to find some omissions, but that is all irrelevant small issues and cannot be mentioned on the table.
Since it is morally impossible to attack, the opponent will inevitably have to do some despicable means.
The Immortal Sect sometimes also needs the maintenance of secular relations. In addition to providing some resources, the biggest advantage is that it can expand its influence and facilitate the Immortal Sect to collect disciples in the mortal world.
Therefore, although Emei did not do anything like a certain temple, the scale of lay disciples spread all over the world, their power in the secular world is not small, and Emei did not follow the route of the rivers and lakes, but had already joined the gentry of Jiangnan early.
After a relationship, you are not waiting for Emei Mountain to be a good leader and two elders. Instead, you go to Diaoao Island in the East China Sea to be the three immortals of the East China Sea?
Is it true that Zhenru is rumored to refine the golden light and fire sword of Miaoyi?
Gao Jingfei sneered at this, "Where can't you practice sword training? Isn't it better to practice sword training in the blessed land of Emei Cave?
Most of the time it is to suppress the situation in the East China Sea and allow those Southeast China sea merchants to conduct maritime trade business that does not pay taxes safely, and make a lot of money one by one.
Therefore, in the face of its own decline, Emei, who has a relationship with the Southeast gentry, also learned the trick of the Qingliu scholar and launched a slanderous public opinion attack on Wutai and Huashan.
The power behind Emei also chose to take action at this time and cooperated with Emei to launch a public opinion offensive.
In the Shushan World, since the Han Dynasty, Buddhist forces have spread rapidly throughout the Central Plains, especially the Jin and the Southeast.
The Buddhist temples in Mount Wutai are well-known throughout the world. The Zen temple founded by Bodhidharma is a landlord in Henan Province for thousands of years. In terms of its influence on the secular world, it is the most prosperous Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia.
After thousands of years of development, the Buddhist temple in the southeast region expanded a hundred times more than the so-called 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. Temples generally operated farmlands, borrowing and other businesses, and were with the gentry and maritime merchants in the southeast.
The businessmen have a deep conflict.
What is the so-called crime that you want to inflict any remedy?
Since you can't find the crime of Ciyun Temple, then I will impose a series of crimes on you. Then everyone can't help but let you get rich.
Just like the Taoist saying "refining falsehoods and becoming true", artificial public opinion guidance can also distort the facts. Tens of millions of people say this is true, and this may really become a reality and cause a deflection in luck.
So among the people of Central China, evil demons led by Mount Hua and Wutai sects wanted to harm the world, while Emei and Buddhism were righteous teachers full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, coming to fight against evil people who do evil.
It can be seen that although Emei and others are not those Qingliu scholars who are good at attacking public opinion, they are still very clear about the routine.
Gao Jingfei was not anxious to laugh when he learned the news. This was after the failure of the first sword fight, the Emei side could not find a way to attack the rise of the side, so he wanted to launch such a public opinion offensive.
Of course he would not let the other party succeed, and said to the immortals who came to discuss:
"It seems that Emei and Buddhism are really anxious!"
"This matter is easy to deal with, please watch it all!"
After saying that, he opened the portal and went to the imperial palace of the Forbidden City, and met the emperor and Wei Zhongxian.
Soon in the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty, it was reported that the dirt and dirt in a certain temple were banned by the government, a temple occupied the land and killed the tenants, and the local government held accountable, and the government protected the temple and used usury to force people to death.
There are many news about the official involved being locked up by the Jinyiwei.
For a time, the people of Middle-earth were talking about this. Many people were angry at the illegal activities of the temples that harmed the sky and harmed the law. Some original believers were also disgusted at this time. There were also many officials and scholars in the local area who wrote to the court and expressed their hopes.
Be able to investigate the world's temples to correct the purity of Buddhism.
Of course, there are also many civil servants and scholars who support Buddhism who write letters to refute.
However, scholars in the world are not united. There are so-called "farming and reading to pass on family members" here, and naturally there are also poor students, and there are even many scholars from military households or poor families. The two actually account for the majority of the number of people.
.
In this way, there are many voices of promising poor people. In the past, the Ming Dynasty was not without such voices, but since the two emperors of Taizu and Chengzu, the civil servants and officials have become bigger because they have lost their suppression. They will naturally make this happen.
Press the sound.
But now the factories and security departments representing the imperial power choose to stand on the lower side and support these folk voices. The emperor is willing to listen to the demands of the people, rather than being as obscene as before, and knowing only what others let him know.
Such a greedy scholar-official class could no longer block the holy hearing as before. Under the emperor's intentional or unintentional attitude, there were naturally a group of officials willing to make decisions for the people standing by the emperor's side to confront those clear streamers, no matter how they were.
To be sincere in serving the country and the people, or to use this to seek promotion opportunities, is a healthy promotion for the country.
In this way, the stagnant water of the Ming Dynasty became alive again, the country's situation began to reverse, taxes increased, and the people became richer, and even the atmosphere of the Jiubian and the garrison was correct.
Under the propaganda of the Ming Dynasty, the Buddhist side was first slandered. If you are slandered, someone will try to prove your innocence. But those exposed matters are basically real cases, which makes
Some people can't even wash the floor for them, and they can't wash them clean.
After this incident broke out, the original statement that Emei Buddhism fought against evil demons was naturally questioned. At the same time, the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty also began to investigate the monks of the Shu Sect. This time, even if local gentry and officials maintain it,
It worked well, and soon a lot of dirt was found.
After a full half year of inventory, more than 500 temples were banned, and more than 2,000 temples were ordered to return land to the people and recover illegal income from usury. This is not all.
A temple where the small punishment is punished and the big punishment is punished.
After all, monks lend money and business transactions have been since ancient times, and real money is right in front of them, and there are very few people who can keep the bottom line.
Not to mention the temples that lend money are all broken, but there is absolutely no mistake in the penalty of nine out of ten.
Just think about who are the people who run usury in modern society will know. In ancient times, without perfect laws, those who give usury were definitely the kind of people who eat people and don’t spit their bones, otherwise they would not be able to have such sons.
A transaction of eye-sharing.
Not to mention that those behaviors of the sharp-tongued father and daughter who occupy the land of the people and force people to sell their children and daughters are not to be washed away. Perhaps some of them were just farmers who contributed themselves at the beginning, but human greed is endless, and for oppressing tenants,
Those merciful monks are not at all kinder than the landlords' old fortune, and some are more vicious.
