After the establishment of the new dynasty, whether it was suppressing bandits or rectifying corrupt officials, the new imperial capital carried out drastic rectifications. The suppression of bandits in various places soon achieved certain results, which made many businessmen and ordinary people feel at ease.
With fewer grassroots bandits, they will not be worried or frightened whether they are doing business or living their lives.
As for the refugees who fled their hometowns, because they were exempted from taxes for two years, and the court also ordered free distribution of grain for this year, many people voluntarily returned to their hometowns to farm. If there is some hope for life, who would want to leave their hometowns?
But not everyone is willing to go back to their hometown. Some people are used to being lazy. In a place like Shengjing, where the rich and powerful are everywhere, you can get food by selling misery and begging. Why suffer on the road again? And the new dynasty has just been established.
, seems stable, but in fact, the treasury is empty, and the fighting at the border has never stopped. It is not impossible that it will be dragged into a war.
Why?
Naturally, everyone knew that Dafeng had changed the emperor, and wanted to take advantage of the internal situation before they were completely unified to seize the land, women, slaves and wealth.
Who knows if a big war will come and there will be nowhere to hide. Even in Shengjing, there are no bad people. At least if they are really beaten, there are many powerful people here, so they can stand up to one or two.
In general, despite the policies to benefit the people, not everyone is confident in the current national conditions. The new emperor still has a long way to go to build a prosperous dynasty.
It is the responsibility of every official in official uniform to stabilize the country. There are hundreds of civil and military officials. Wen can write and make decisions, and military can hold the sword to defend the country. But who can tell them why there is such a sudden change after the new dynasty is established?
Lots of monsters and monsters pop up to show off their weird power and chaos.
This is completely beyond the scope of what they have learned.
Yes, just when the new emperor and his civil and military officials were trying their best to stabilize the country and recuperate, some Taoist priests in Dafeng suddenly offered sacrifices to some god instead of the ancestor.
Do you think they are evil? That is not the case. They are monks with serious ultimatums. In other words, they have been officially recognized, but they have betrayed their ancestors and converted to other gods.
You can’t blame someone for defecting midway. For faith, you can’t just specify a faith, right?
There are many gods from both branches of Buddhism and Taoism. Just like some people believe in Guanyin Bodhisattva, some believe in Tathagata Buddha, and some believe in Taishang Laojun, it is normal for them to worship other gods.
It can only be said that the Patriarch or some Bodhisattva was robbed of his faith by this deity.
And that god is not fictitious, but real. He is the water god of Green Lake in Yuhang who has saved countless people. He has been protecting the people of Yuhang for hundreds of years and is respected and respected by the people. There are many local stories about the water god.
According to the legend, some people say that he is actually a dragon hiding in the Green Lake, specializing in controlling the water. Some people say that he is actually a gentle beauty, and some people say that he looks very powerful with his teeth and claws.
The more people spread the word and monks spread the word, the more people believed in the water god. This was an unfavorable signal for the imperial court officials.
Let’s not talk about the son’s power and the confusion of the gods. The gods and gods are strange and have their own scales in everyone’s heart. If you believe it, there will be it. If you don’t believe it, there will be none. Just respect it in your heart.
But the current overall phenomenon is that the people believe in God more than the court and the saints. This is extremely scary, because in the long run, the people may be brainwashed.
It would be terrible if the madness of belief incites them to cause trouble.
There have been incidents in history where the demon monk, the national preceptor, took control of the government. Once the demon monk took over, it would be an ultimate disaster.
Taking precautions before they happen and nipping danger in the bud is what all officials should know.
There are constant reports from local officials requesting the closure of some Buddhism schools, whether they are Buddhist or Taoist schools or Buddhist sects, and no preaching is allowed.
He just wanted the new emperor to suppress the Taoist sect forcefully like his grandfather did. No, it was even more powerful than that. This time, even the Buddhist sect would be affected.
Another wave of officials said that one should not overturn a boatload of people with a bamboo pole. Not all monks and Taoists were like this. If Man Dafeng suppressed it, it might arouse the rebellious psychology of the people.
In fact, it does not include ordinary people, but they are the court officials. If there is no old lady or concubine who believes in Buddhism or Taoism, if they really support the suppression and closing of Buddhism, they are afraid that they will never have a pure life from now on, and will not be scolded.
An unfilial son will be kicked out of the house by his wife.
The supporting faction immediately pointed to the tragic history of the evil monk who came to power and harmed a country.
The opposition is claiming that all people in the world have more than one belief. If they suppress them all and have no place for all people to worship, it will only become more rebellious.
The two factions argued endlessly in the court.
Qi Qian's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He did not expect that as an emperor, he would have to decide whether his faith should be broken, and that he would be brought to the court to argue with the officials.
What they should do is not to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, recuperate and recuperate, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy peace?
It is impossible to suppress Buddhism with all its strength. As a monarch, Qi Qian also has faith.
His belief is Qin Liuxi!
That is to say, he had just ascended the throne and the treasury was empty, otherwise he would have wanted to build a golden body and temple for Qin Liuxi and worship her as the goddess of the country, instead of just setting up a small altar in the Taiping Hall, worshiping a small golden statue, and offering incense day and night.
.
If we agree to the supporter, wouldn't Qingpingguan suffer?
Qi Qian was very unhappy. He slapped the dragon chair hard and said: "Why do people believe in the water god? You don't find the answer from the root cause. You just talk about suppression. Is it useful? Belief cannot be eliminated by suppression.
What kind of chaos will happen if a nation has no faith? Faith is not only the spiritual thought of all people, but also a culture. Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have always existed, isn’t it based on faith? If you want to suppress it like this, you want to obliterate it.
The culture of our ancestors still wants to compete with the sky and compete with the sky?"
"Your Majesty, calm down." All the officials knelt down.
"Faith is a kind of power that cannot disappear through suppression. Instead of thinking about such suppression, it is better to think about how to guide all people. But if you have faith, you should not be dominated by it, become its slave, and be lost under a tight curse.
Thought."
Qi Qian stood up and said: "To solve the problem, we should not beat him to death with a bamboo pole, nor should we become anyone's commentator. Otherwise, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and burning books and humiliating Confucians? I don't want to see the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism.
The monks and nuns fled and dispersed like the bachelors in the world."
Everyone was shocked and fell to the ground, shouting in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Retreat from the court." Qi Qian waved his sleeves and left.
It wasn't until the dragon robe disappeared that all the officials got up from the ground and looked at each other. Although the new emperor was young and ascended the throne quickly, he was not easy to fool.
Prime Minister Lin and Mr. Yu looked at each other with relief in their eyes.
If a child can be taught, there is hope for a strong country.
