Chapter 968 The three thieves kneel down, Yue Feis ideal
"Juniors listen to Zhang Gong's teachings."
Song Jiang stared at these words and immediately sat up straight, alert.
Zhang Dun was very confused. Seeing that Song Jiang could see clearly, he immediately took a few more strokes and cleverly changed the word "death" in Dan's strokes to "xing" and "struggle" to "discussion", and the whole sentence became
"The rejuvenation of the country by the Jin people began with the theory of Taoism".
Li Kui was standing guard at the door, and he had skillfully paid bribes just now. Under normal circumstances, Wanyan Hunqi would not break in, but Zhang Dun's behavior was obviously flawless. With this change, even if Wanyan Hunqi suddenly broke in, it would not matter.
And he spoke slowly, his old voice carrying the power of calming people: "When I was young, I advocated military affairs. In the fifth year of Xining, I was ordered to open Meishan Mountain. I originally planned to go through Ningxiang, enter Weishan Mountain, and then take a small road.
We marched, but because we didn’t want to lose the battle, we had no choice but to retreat to Weishan Miyin Temple.”
"When food and supplies were scarce and the army was losing ground, the monks took the initiative to provide supplies to the army. At that time, I remembered that the Yao people had always believed in Buddhism, so I invited Ying Quan, the elder of the Zen temple, to the cave to lobby, and through their Buddhist advice
, the leader of Xidong repented and led his troops to surrender..."
"When I returned to the court, in order to express my gratitude for the contribution made by Miyin Temple, I specially asked him to be exempted from various subjects. With this precedent, I will recruit Dongtong barbarians, open up the southwest, and recruit Tibetan tribes in the future.
I was accompanied by a famous monk, and I still remember it fresh."
Although Zhang Dun spoke slowly, Song Jiang listened with fascination and was extremely impressed. This old prime minister, who was nearly 80 years old, explained clearly what happened over thirty years ago.
This is obviously not a temporary memory, but a long-term preparation.
The monk not far away suddenly felt envious as he listened.
Look at how good the environment of the Song Dynasty was at that time. When the court asked monks for help, the monks could also get rewards if they came forward. It was just helping each other...
This is true. The Song Dynasty paid great attention to the power of Buddhist temples and monks. They often used eminent monks to lead the way and let the monks serve as "pawns" to influence the local barbarians with their religious beliefs. After winning over a group, they would annihilate those who did not believe in Buddhism.
Next, Zhang Dun not only used himself as an example, but also talked about the later expansion of the Xihe River, using religious beliefs to conquer and rule the surrounding foreign races. Finally, he sighed: "This move avoids war and disaster, and has great merits, but it has also been impeached.
, saying that the military is insufficient and resorting to tricks. The former Tang Dynasty never needed such means to attack foreign races, but they don’t know that national power is always strong and weak, and cannot be compared blindly..."
Song Jiang understood that what seemed to be a nostalgia for Zhao and Song Dynasty was actually an allusion to the current Jin Kingdom.
The Song Dynasty was weak in military but strong in culture, relying on the influence of Buddhism.
Jin is just the opposite, with a strong military and weak culture. To be precise, it has no culture of its own at all. It is still using the legacy of the Liao Kingdom. At this time, it actually needs to play a more important role in religion.
It was precisely because Wanyan Aguda felt this that he allowed Buddhism to spread in the Jin Kingdom. This was undoubtedly a sign of maturity, but it was not mature enough.
If Zhang Dun was the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, facing the current situation of the Jin Kingdom, Jian Yan's first policy in governing the country would be to deify Wanyan Aguda, the Jin Kingdom's emperor.
The specific operation is to fabricate auspiciousness and promote that Wanyan Aguda is the Buddha who came to the world and ruled the world for the Buddha, so as to unite the people who believe in Buddhism.
Even if he does not believe in Buddhism at all, the Buddha must come to the world and perform religious prayers in public places so that a large number of Buddhists can shout that the Buddha is compassionate and can save the world.
With this basic plan, the people under his command are divided into those who believe in religion and those who do not believe in religion. Those who believe in religion have superficial beliefs and those who are fanatics. The fanatics are then trained to become important officials in the court. Only in this way can a ruling team be stabilized as quickly as possible.
In comparison, the Central Plains dynasty had a glorious cultural heritage, and religion could never override secular imperial power. The rulers used Buddhism and Taoism to assist their rule, but to really destroy the Buddha, it was extremely simple.
Not counting Lin Lingsu's change of skin, the Central Plains dynasty in history exterminated Buddhism three times on a large scale. Once it was destroyed, it was destroyed. Buddhism could only make up some small stories behind the scenes, attributing the ruler's failure and even death to retribution.
Above all, it is purely incompetent rage and psychological comfort...
Let’s try it again when Liao Kingdom exterminated Buddha, Xixia exterminated Buddha, Goryeo exterminated Buddha, and Dali exterminated Buddha. The lessons learned from Tubo’s extermination of Buddha are there!
The last Zanpu of Tubo, Langdama destroyed the Buddha, guess why he is the last Zanpu?
The Buddhist general Zanpu was assassinated. Afterwards, the clan was divided, civil uprisings occurred, and the unified Tubo dynasty was divided into several small states.

No need to arrange a little story behind the scenes, just give the ruler retribution immediately!
Can a small country destroy Buddha? Can you destroy it? You are not qualified to know...
Wanyan Aguda obviously did not understand that the Jin Kingdom was in urgent need of religious beliefs to fill the gaps in the cultural field. He just felt that many of his people believed in Buddhism, so he magnanimously allowed Buddhism to spread, but he still used natural selection.
The trap caused Taoism and Buddhism to fight, and religious infighting gave rise to signs of destroying Buddhism.
Among the ministers under Wanyan Aguda, only Wanyan Wu Qimai felt that Buddhism was very useful, but he did not fully realize the key.
On the contrary, Song Jiang clearly understood this truth through Zhang Dun's teachings.
He immediately said: "Unfortunately, Brother Mu passed away due to illness, and we were about to ask Master to perform some rituals!"
Zhang Dun showed a childish look and looked at the group of monks. Song Jiang stepped forward and respectfully extended an invitation.
A tall and thin monk came out of the procession and clasped his hands together: "Good believers live deep in the root of wisdom. My Buddha saves all sentient beings. After passing away as a poor monk, I am willing to perform Dharma deeds!"
"Thank you, Master Shi!"
Song Jiang had an idea and knew that talking to Zhang Dun for too long might arouse the suspicion of the Jin people. He saluted and said: "Mr. Zhang, I will go back to arrange the funeral ceremony..."
Zhang Dun nodded slightly and closed his eyes again.
Song Jiang took the monk out of the house, and Wanyan Hunqi immediately came over and asked about it. He heard that one of his subordinates died and asked the monk to go back to perform rituals. He couldn't help but suddenly realized, and warned: "General Song, don't forget
It’s business!”

Song Jiang responded repeatedly and quickly returned to his house with the monk.
At night, Sun Erniang, Deng Fei and Bao Xu, who had gone out, came back one after another. After making sure that there were no golden people listening around, they gathered together and began to tell the plan.
"The battle between Buddhism and Taoism has caused Buddhism to be dissatisfied with Jin Ting. My brother is planning to contact the power of Buddhism to destroy the Jin Kingdom together?"
The four of them looked at each other, somewhat incomprehensible: "Do monks dare to do things like rebelling?"
Song Jiangdao: "In order to survive, how can you not do it? Take Goryeo as an example. Each of their temples has monk soldiers. They were recruited back then to fight against the Jurchen troops. Unfortunately, they were no match. But the strength of Buddhism is evident. You guys
Don’t look at the Buddhism of the Jin Kingdom with the concepts of the Song Dynasty...the previous dynasties!"
Deng Fei said: "Then if we contact you now, will it alarm the Jin people?"
After all, Song Jiang studied people's writings and had strong execution ability: "Zhang Gong has done a lot of things. The conversation of the monk who passed away today is different from ordinary people. He communicated with this person through rituals, and communicated with the Buddhist sect against Jin Ting.
If you are dissatisfied, please contact us.”
Bao Xu said: "What my brother said is true, you can give it a try!"
Song Jiang looked at Li Kui, who owned all his family property: "Tieniu, go to the temple and ask for a wooden fish that has been consecrated by a senior monk. I want to accumulate merit..."
Li Kui scratched his head: "Brother, please find someone else to do this. I never go to a temple."
Song Jiang said: "Tieniu, you can also worship Buddha."
This sentence made everyone laugh: "Brother, this black guy kills people all day long. I'm afraid he has no connection with Buddha at all!"
Song Jiangdao: "This matter is of great importance. There must be no negligence. Tieniu must also learn to interact with monks without exposing any flaws..."
Seeing that Li Kui still wanted to evade, he said sternly: "We are now trapped in the imperial court and bear the infamy. It is for no other reason than to protect the former dynasty clan from being used by gold thieves. If we can destroy the Jin Kingdom Zuo, we will do it with all our loyalty.
An act that will go down in history, so that we can live up to the sacrifices of all our brothers!"
The four people were moved and nodded heavily: "Listen to brother Gongming!"
…
"I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will make the decision for us!"
In the secret room of the Buddhist temple, a group of monks prostrated themselves on the ground, and the object of their worship was the monk's death.
Their name spread and caused an uproar in the Koryo Society.
Because this was the crown prince who disappeared in the war when the country's capital was conquered by the Jin people, and was thought by his subjects to have met with misfortune.
However, the Crown Prince helped a group of old monks to their feet, and said: "The Crown Prince is dead, and today I have only passed away. You are all senior monks, please get up!"
The monks were anxious: "Don't you, Your Highness, want to restore the country?"
The way to pass away: "The past events will never be mentioned again. What I wish for, as a young monk, is that my subjects will be healthy and not be bullied."
Some monks were very anxious, while others came to their senses and said, "Does your Highness not know that we, the people of Korea, are being bullied?"
Liao Shidan said calmly: "You eminent monks want to restore the country with monk soldiers? Can they defeat the Jin army? Will more people sacrifice their lives in vain?"
The monks were speechless.
Since the uprising army was dealt with by the Jin people, although the resistance in various parts of Goryeo has not stopped, the threat has indeed become smaller and smaller. Now, it is not the Jurchens who are suppressing it, but the Goryeo people who have taken refuge in the Jurchens.
The Koreans who are unwilling to surrender.
With the strength of Buddhism, it can certainly cause a storm, but in the end it should still be suppressed.
Therefore, after learning the identity of this person, they felt like they had found a treasure, hoping that they could restore the country in the name of the crown prince. The momentum was completely different. Even if they failed, they could still negotiate with Jin Ting to prevent that person
The evil Lin Lingsu is doing all kinds of things!
After his death, he was trained by a certain former tyrant and had a thorough understanding of the world. Rather than being eager to restore the country, these monks actually hated the Jin Emperor Wanyan Aguda for condoning Lin Lingsu's actions.
: "The Jin people are cruel. Even if I, the crown prince, come out again, it will not help and will only make the people die in vain. If you seniors want Buddhism not to be bullied, you might as well contact the Liao temple and resist together!"
The atmosphere in the secret room was heavy. The monks made eye contact and had answers in their hearts.
It's time to make up your mind.
Relatively speaking, the crown prince is not important, and the restoration of the country is not important...
There is no Jin Kingdom, which is very important to Buddhism!
