"Sakyamuni is imprisoned and there is no Buddha in the Pure Land. Buddhist disciples should all go west to kill the false Buddhas and welcome back the Tathagata."
In the Tang Dynasty's Zongzhi Temple, all the disciples raised their heads in astonishment. This sound came from the air, which was more noticeable than the big bell.
This sudden sound transmission made the entire Dazongchi Temple as silent as half dead.
Some of the monks were doubtful, some angry, some confused, some lamented, but most of them were stunned.
Everyone can't understand that the Buddhas who chant and worship throughout the day are actually fake?
After the transmission sounded, there was no movement, and everyone looked towards the host.
Master Shen Fang remained silent. Facing the oncoming disciples, Shen Fang announced a Buddha's name: "Let's wait until Master Xuanzang comes back to talk about everything."
There was a loud bang. The monks who had originally wanted to learn from the host that the news was false were all in an uproar.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you, panic begins to spread
Shen Fang looked at the reactions of his disciples and sighed in his heart. There have been rumors about the Pure Land in the West for a long time. This time, I don’t know who it is, but I can actually transmit sounds from thousands of miles away, but I can’t catch his breath at all. It seems that
What a great man did.
Could it be that the Buddhist Civil War has just begun?
Although he knew that such a day would come sooner or later, Shen Fang could not help but feel fear. He recalled the last words of his master, Zen Master Fa Hai, before his death:
If one day, you are required to fight for Buddhism, the most important thing is not to fight to the death, but to clarify right and wrong. What I fear most as a teacher is not that you die in battle, but that you fight for evil spirits.
Fa Hai, Shen Fang's master, didn't know whether it was right or wrong, and he ended up resenting it. If the Western Pure Land was not infected, why do rumors about false Buddhas persist?
Shen Fang silently raised his head and said in his heart: Master, I have reached the point where I have to fight today. I hate that my disciple is ignorant and ignorant. Fortunately, Master Xuanzang is here. He has great Buddhist knowledge and is proficient in Mahayana and Mahayana sutras. I am willing to follow him.
Fighting with Master Xuanzang, asking for his blessings
At this time, all Buddhist sects on the entire earth are preaching this sentence in various languages.
Almost in an instant, the temples of the Six Dynasties in the Central Plains, the Buddhist palaces of Tibet in the Western Plateau, and the Siamese temples in the southeast
Everywhere where the Buddhist disciples were present, they heard a very loud and noiseless message.
"Sakyamuni is imprisoned and there is no Buddha in the Pure Land. Buddhist disciples should all go west to kill the false Buddhas and welcome back the Tathagata."
Almost all believers have chosen to remain silent. Everyone does not believe it, or is unwilling to believe it.
The attitude of some eminent monks was even more ambiguous. They did not stand up to speak. They chose to ignore this earth-shattering message that could shake the entire Buddhist sect and pretended not to hear it.
This kind of deception quickly aroused the resentment of some rising stars in Buddhism, and some people already believed it.
The hearts of Buddhists were in turmoil, and Xuanzang was not in the mood to continue waiting at Zhengjingmen. He quickly returned to Chang'an to stabilize the situation.
None of this has much to do with Li Yu. He has now found another big thing, one that few believe even if he says it, which is to help "Prince Yiwen" who has been dead for many years to ascend to power.
If someone went to a busy city and said something like this now, they would most likely be regarded as a fool.
Although the Ming Dynasty had wealthy gentry and civil servants controlling the government, one advantage of it was that under the rules established by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor's power was unlimited.
As long as you control the emperor, you can easily deprive the gentry and civil servants of their vested power.
Therefore, even though Sanyang has been in power for a long time, the emperor can send them home with an imperial edict. Once they leave office, they will no longer have any ability to influence the government.
The same goes for the eunuchs. Because the new emperor Zhu Qizhen favored Wang Zhen, he had so much power that he could even place bachelors in the cabinet at will.
But with just one word from Zhu Qizhen, Wang Zhen can be deprived of all his power.
This is a legacy left by Taizu to his descendants, allowing the emperor to stand high and balance the power in the court.
It's a pity that Zhu Qizhen used it wrongly. He just blindly relied on nepotism and reused his senior companion, but he didn't think of checks and balances.
He was still a child, and the Empress Dowager could have stepped forward, but the intervention of the Jinling gentry caused her people to be cleared out. Sanyang went out collectively without resistance, and the Empress Dowager also lost the ability to control the situation.
Next to Li Yu and Yu Qian, there was a wooden board with densely written names on it.
Li Yu erased all the dozens below and said: "To capture the thief, capture the king first, kill these few, and the rest will not be a concern."
"The East Factory and the West Factory have always been full of masters, not to mention the Imperial Guards," Xu Huizu said worriedly.
Yu Qian nodded, pointed at Ma Shun on the wooden board and said: "The commander of the Jinyi Guards is Wang Zhen's confidant Ma Shun. This person is a loser. He only rose to the top because of his good relationship with Wang Zhen. There are many people in the Jinyi Guards.
If you are not convinced, I think you can instigate rebellion."
Li Yu shook his head and said, "Can Ma Shun instigate rebellion together?"
Everyone looked at him with surprise. Li Yu said with a smile: "Since this guy is a loser, I don't think he has any backbone. As long as we promise him a lot of profit and instigate him to rebel, we can catch him by surprise."
"Ma Shun is a close associate of Wang Zhen. They are very proud now. How can we instigate him to rebel?" Yu Qian was quite moved, but after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head in opposition.
Li Yu moved his fingers, and a gourd floated in the air, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
"What about this?"
The eyes of everyone present lit up, this is the elixir?
Not to mention Ma Shun, they also want a few themselves.
Li Yu put away the gourd and said, "I don't believe it. I can't control him."
In fact, he also has a trump card, which is the skill on the wordless jade that can control people's minds.
But Li Yu didn't want to use it. This technique was very evil and Li Yu didn't intend to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Yu Qian said: "In that case, I'll trouble the Taoist priest."
Zhu Biao looked around and nodded secretly in his heart. Although he was kind and righteous, he was definitely not stupid.
The people in front of me seem very down and out, there are only three or four of them, but they can definitely accomplish something.
The power of the Ming Dynasty was never in the hands of civil servants, but was often seized by them through various means.
The civil servants and gentry controlled the local area. The central government has always been dominated by imperial power, and military power was the core of defending the imperial power. During the Jing Dynasty, when the fourth brother Zhu Di invaded the capital, there was not much resistance from the local government because they could not compete with the central government.
The Xu family has always been in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Xu Huizu and his father Xu Da have unrivaled prestige in the army.
And as long as he is recognized by others, he will naturally carry the title of orthodoxy. Except for his late father, no one in the Ming Dynasty is more qualified to be emperor than himself.
