Chapter 54 The word of danger on the head is like a shadow
The demolition activities of the Fire Temple in Shichahai started early this morning and were temporarily suspended in the evening.
During the demolition process, some officials were found tied up in the Zhenwu Hall. This matter was quickly reported back to the court. Emperor Wanli was sleeping and did not get up.
Mr. Sange dealt with the problem and asked what Huo Jun was about, and then received the news. According to the voices heard by those who were arrested, Huo Jun claimed that her past name was Puzhao Bodhisattva.
Puzhao Bodhisattva... Beizhen Fusi immediately began to investigate and found out that she was the second daughter of the leader of the Huangtian Sect during the reign of Emperor Sejong. Many people were surprised. Puzhao should be quite old, but how could she still be so young and beautiful?
Immediately many people lamented that cultivating immortals is still a good thing, but it is a pity that the imperial throne is held by this position when you are on duty. When you are not on duty, you are just a mortal. If you are deprived of your divine status, you can get out when you should. There are others waiting to take over.
.
Mr. Sange immediately asked Quan Shuntian to search for Huangtian believers, and directly made this once legal religion an illegal religion, and included it as a branch of the White Lotus Sect... Anyway, no matter what religion you are, you are all
It's the White Lotus Sect.
There is a lot of confusion in Shuntian. If you don’t check, you won’t know. After checking, basically one of the three households believes in Huangtian Sect. When this matter was reported to Mr. Sange’s ears, the sun was setting in the west. Mr. Sange
They were all filled with emotion. They didn’t expect that the emperor’s feet would become a cult den.
Don't ask, it's Emperor Jiajing's fault for asking.
Burn all those statues and paintings. If we don’t burn them, how can there be a bright future for the Ming Dynasty?
However, because there were too many people involved, they could not all be arrested, and the prison could not fit in them, so they could only give a warning. However, the common people spat viciously when they saw the arrogant and ferocious appearance of the officers and soldiers leaving.
At this point in time, Emperor Wanli also woke up.
Of course, as soon as he woke up, someone told him that a certain minister, Xu Wenbi, suggested that the emperor go to the southern suburbs, northern suburbs, Sheji, Ancestral Temple, Chao Ri, Moon Altar, and worship the orthodox gods such as Tai Sui and Dong Yue because of the fire and the evil gods.
Offer sacrifices and also perform obeisances, so as to comply with the regulations of the past.
However, when Emperor Wanli heard that he was going to offer sacrifices to gods again, he was immediately startled and furious! But something suddenly occurred to him and he suddenly asked Tian Yidao:
"Have I ever repaired that Dongyue Temple?"
The great eunuch Tian Yi thought for a while, sorted it out carefully, and responded:
"I remember that it must have been three years ago that the Queen Mother, together with the emperor, Prince Lu, the princess, and the nobles of the palaces, donated money to rebuild the palace. She also ordered Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the palace at that time, to choose an honest minister.
The person was responsible for supervising the work, and Master Zhang Juzheng inscribed the "Inscription of the Imperial Order to Repair the Dongyue Temple Stele."
"In the thirteenth year, the Queen Mother replaced all the incense burners in the Seventy-Six Divisions. You ordered that a shrine be built for the Queen Mother on the south side of Mount Tai..."
"Twenty years ago, you saw Emperor Dongyue in your dream. You thought it was a gift from the gods and ordered the temple to be reorganized. Side halls were built on the left and right sides of the dormitory hall, a back tower was built behind the hall, and things in front of the temple gate were added.
There are two stele towers across the street, and the inscriptions on the stele towers are 'Hongren Xifu' and 'Lingyue Chongci'..."
"Moreover, there was an article written by Emperor Yingzong in Dongyue Temple... Emperor Sejong also visited Tao Zhongwen several times at that time to organize the main hall, harem, east and west side halls, verandahs, halls, statues of gods, and sacrificial vessels
A new one. A 'screen wall' was built, which is said to be used to eliminate obscenity."
Ming Yingzong?
Ming Shizong?
Tao Yao said?
Queen Mother Li?
And I dreamed of Emperor Dongyue?
Emperor Wanli broke out in a cold sweat. He had been busy fighting with his ministers in the past few years, and he had forgotten the divine dream he had twenty years ago. Now that he thinks about it, it might not be a divine dream at all!
Damn it, the Ming God of War plus Grandpa Daojun, Tao Zhongwen and Queen Mother Li, plus myself as a master of death, the word death is already written on this head!
Emperor Wanli felt flustered again at this time, and he suddenly jumped up in fright:
"There must be something wrong with this temple. Tian Yi, go quickly. Send people there now to completely demolish it for me!"
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years, and after what happened to Lord Huo, Emperor Wanli now couldn't find anything right about any temple, let alone Dongyue Temple, which was patronized by the idiot Yingzong and Grandpa Daojun.
It is true that I have never built the Dongyue Temple, but what if there is something inside that crawls out through the mouth seals of those two people?
Demolish it, it must be demolished. If these temples are not demolished, the Ming Emperor will be done with it!
But the great eunuch Tian Yi quickly warned:
"I'm afraid this won't work, Your Majesty. The demolition of the Yinsi main store requires a formal ceremony to send off the gods. This is different from the demolition of the Fire Temple! There is no official position in the temple. You have made a god of the country, and now the Lord of Fire is dead.
If it’s gone, it will be dismantled..."
"But demolishing the Dongyue Temple is impossible! The ministers will object. The temple was built during the Puppet Yuan Dynasty. As of your generation, it has survived for twenty-three dynasties. Emperor Yingzong even mentioned it.
The money has been overhauled... How about, as Xu Wenbi requested, you can go and visit us in a few days?"
Tian Yi meant to demolish it after offering sacrifices, that is, before demolishing it, regardless of whether there is anything in the Dongyue Temple, inform it that if it is a righteous god, it will be sent away directly; if it is an evil god, it will be captured on the spot.
Emperor Wanli almost slapped his forehead. This temple is really not easy to smash. If it is smashed, trouble will definitely occur. Transferring the Yinsi is a trivial matter, but don't let the "war over the country" end here and start another "battle over the temple."
!
"I am really...!"
Although Emperor Wanli was panicking, the talisman had not given any warning this time, which was the only thing that gave him peace of mind.
But I still dare not take it lightly.
Emperor Wanli sincerely hoped that there would be no strange things in this Dongyue Temple, so that no big or small bad things would happen to him.
"Tian Yi, I think that the palace construction can be suspended. I have to demolish all the temples in Shuntian. Apart from Dongyue Temple, do you think there are any temples that cannot be demolished or are difficult to demolish?
, list them all for me, and I will discuss them with the ministers."
Tian Yi asked: "Temple... Among the temples, Changchun Temple also needs to be demolished? The Queen Mother will not agree."
"this......"
The construction of Changchun Temple started four years ago and is now completed. This temple is mainly managed by Buddhist Zen Master Shuizhai. Normally Wanli's wife, Queen Mother Li, would go to offer incense.
This temple was really built by Wanli himself, but it was Mrs. Li who paid for it.
"The Buddha statue... there will probably be no problem, right?"
"My servant has heard of the saying that all Buddhas cannot leave the spiritual mountain, except Maitreya Buddha. Aren't those White Lotus believers all claiming that they are Maitreya Buddha's thugs?"
