Chapter 1955, the great change in the state of Chu
Capital City of the Ming Dynasty.
"Is something big going to happen in Chu State?"
Liu Jin received a telegram from the South African colony. He was shocked just after reading the beginning. After reading the telegram quickly, he became thoughtful.
"Liu Da's judgment is very reasonable. The prevalence of Buddhism in Chu State is indeed very prone to problems. Even monks have become prime ministers. Once this person has grasped power, it is easy to be greedy for power. This Huiming also founded the Only Sect.
We must learn from Europe and the Middle East. The good ones are not learned, but the bad ones are learned thoroughly."
"Liu Da has also grown up and has his own judgment of right and wrong. He can boldly make reasonable inferences about such a matter."
"Even if there is no trouble in the Chu State in the future, it will not work if it continues like this. Moreover, if this unique sect spreads wildly, it will not be a good thing for the major vassals and colonies in the future."
"Religion is something that makes people ignorant and ignorant. It must not be spread wildly. We must severely crack down on this unique sect and attack temples."
"Now it's not just the Chu State, the living standards of the people in our Ming Dynasty are high. Those monks, temples, etc. have begun to make money and make money. They are building large-scale construction projects and temples, which is a waste of money and people. These monks are all fat and big-eared.
The brain is full of fat and the intestines are not busy with childbirth, but they live a life without worries about food and clothing."
When thinking about religious matters, Liu Jin also thought about the situation in the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty has always strictly prohibited the spread of foreign religions, and it has done an excellent job in this regard. Whether it is Christianity in Europe or Hinduism in India, they have all tried to spread religion in the Ming Dynasty.
But they were all severely punished, and all those who dared to preach were killed. The original ones will also be cleansed for you.
However, local Buddhism has grown rapidly, building temples and cultivating believers, and it is not easy to live a happy life.
Think about those monks in later generations. They are monks during the day, but they eat, drink, and gamble a lot at night. They drive luxury cars and flirt with beautiful women. They eat meat and drink. They are all fake monks, but there are still people who keep giving them money.
"We cannot ignore the affairs of the Chu State. After all, this is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The descendants of Chu King Lao Zhu's family. If something happens, Emperor Hongzhi will still have to make the decision for the Chu State."
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Jin also acted quickly and hurried to the palace to report the matter to the Emperor of Heaven.
On the other side, here in Chu State.
In the palace of the King of Chu, the young King of Chu was chanting sutras and worshiping the Buddha devoutly, praying to the Buddha to bless him and bless him to live for a few more years. His body was getting worse day by day.
"Father~"
"We in Chu State can't go on like this. You should go out and take a look. Look at those monks. They eat meat, drink wine, play with women, and are domineering and lawless. No one can control them."
"If the Chu State continues to behave like this, it will no longer be the Chu State of our Zhu family. It will become the Chu State of those smelly monks."
Zhu Rong, the crown prince of the King of Chu, looked at the King of Chu who was chanting sutras and worshiping the Buddha, and he immediately roared angrily.
The Chu State, which was a good country, finally established its own country on the land of East Africa, but now it has become a mess because of its belief in Buddhism.
If chanting sutras and worshiping Buddhas is effective, then why would everyone still have to work hard to do things if they would chant sutras and worship Buddhas?
"Okay, don't say any more."
"This king will give Huiming a good scolding."
King Chu stopped what he was doing and said impatiently.
At this old age, he only thinks about living a few more years and thinking about things after death. As for the affairs of Chu State, he is not in the mood to care about it at all.
"Father!"
"Every time you say reprimand, does it work?"
"Did you really reprimand me?"
"Since ancient times, monks from that dynasty have been able to serve as officials in all dynasties. This Huiming demon monk has become the prime minister. He has great power and can overthrow the rule of our Zhu family at any time."
Zhu Rong said extremely angrily.
These monks are becoming more and more lawless, and the people of Chu have already complained.
"Your Highness, how can you be so stubborn that even if you don't believe in religion, you are still here instigating the King of Chu?"
At this moment, Huiming came in with Yuankong, Yuanye and others.
"Be bold!"
"How dare you be good at the bedroom, come, come, come~"
When Zhu Rong saw it, he immediately became angry. These monks were really becoming more and more bold and bold. They broke into the King of Chu's palace directly. They were really lawless.
However, no matter how Zhu Rong called people, no one came in.
"Your Highness, please save your energy and stop shouting. No one will come even if you shout until your throat is broken. We are all our people inside and outside the palace, in the court and in the countryside. Can't you see it?"
Yuankong looked at Zhu Rong? and couldn't help but sneered.
"You are so brave. Are you going to rebel?"
Zhu Rong was angry and looked at these monks.
"Your Highness is joking, we are not rebelling, we just want to invite the King of Chu to abdicate."
"Our great and supreme Buddha will establish a pure Buddhist kingdom. He will become the supreme Buddhist emperor and lead millions of people in the Chu Kingdom to become supreme Buddhists, forming a true Buddhist kingdom so that everyone in the world can enjoy it.
Endless Buddha light.”
Yuan Ye smiled and shook his head.
"You guys are crazy!"
"You are all crazy. Do you really think everyone believes your lies?"
"Aren't you afraid that the Ming Empire's army will come and kill you all?"
"Our Chu State is not just a Chu State, we are also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not let it go."
Zhu Rong glared angrily, gritted his teeth, and wanted to cut them into pieces with a thousand knives.
As for the King of Chu on the side, he was dumbfounded at this moment. He dropped the scriptures in his hands. He looked at Huiming in disbelief and said, "Huiming, is this true?"
He still couldn't believe it, because he had always trusted Huiming, believed in him, and left everything to him, but now he actually wanted to rebel and force himself to take the Zen position.
"Your Majesty, those who know the current affairs are heroes. You should take the initiative to meditate on your own. In this way, this Buddha Emperor can also grant you a Buddha title. After your death and going to the Western Heaven, you will be the Buddha who enjoys eternal bliss."
Huiming said calmly, "The person is aloof. He is no longer as groveling and humble as before. He is a completely different person, showing his true side."
"You actually want to rebel and force me to take the Zen position?"
The King of Chu couldn't believe it. He had too much trust in Huiming and was fooled by Huiming's tricks. At this time, he still couldn't believe it all.
"In this Chu country, I will give you whatever you want. I have always considered myself a devout Buddhist disciple, and you want to force me to take the Zen position?"
King Chu's whole body was trembling, and it was only today that he finally saw Huiming's true face clearly.
All enlightened monks, living Buddhas, and reincarnations of the Buddha are all deceptions.
"My lord, if you really believe in Buddha, you should know how to do it. The Buddhist kingdom I want to establish is a true Buddhist kingdom, a pure land on earth, and a world of bliss."
Huiming said calmly: "I have already written the edict. You can stamp it."
After saying that, he gestured to the monk next to him, who immediately understood and took out the Chu Kingdom's traditional seal and grabbed the King of Chu to stamp it.
"Bold, bold, any of you dare to touch my father."
Zhu Rong protected his father and roared.
"Lock him up and keep him useful."
Huiming glanced at Zhu Rong? and said, soon a few strong monks arrested Zhu Rong? The King of Chu was also pressed down and stamped with his seal. This seal was put under the control of Huiming.
I could have built it myself, but I had to let the King of Chu build it himself.
"Take the Chu State to the Jinluan Palace and summon all the civil and military officials to hold the abdication ceremony!"
Huiming did not hesitate, and ordered people to drag King Chu to the Jinluan Palace of Chu State.
Along with the great changes in the palace of the King of Chu, the entire Izumo City of Chu State was quickly controlled by monks with weapons. Many generals defected to Huiming early and also participated in the rebellion.
At the same time, there were a lot of people in the Chu Kingdom who took refuge in the King of Chu. Only a few generals headed by Xiong Tingtao and no civil servants took refuge in Huiming.
Huiming has been in control of the Chu state's government for a long time, and he has the final say in the promotion of Chu state officials. Naturally, countless people will seek refuge with him and the Yi Faction.
Soon, Monk Huiming of the Chu State announced to the outside world that the King of Chu had officially given the Zen throne to Huiming. Huiming announced the establishment of the Great Freedom Buddha Kingdom here in Izumo City of the Chu State and called himself the Great Freedom Buddha Emperor.
The news spread rapidly at a terrifying speed. First, it encountered strong opposition from military officers and civilian officials led by Xiong Tingtao, but these people were quickly killed by Huiming.
But when Huiming sent people to take over the Chu army stationed in other places, they were opposed by the lieutenant general of the Chu army. The Chu general Yang Qing even led 20,000 Chu troops to attack Izumo City.
It is necessary to rescue the controlled King of Chu.
Huiming sent his generals and troops to suppress it. There was not much difference in military strength between the two sides. Chu State only had 40,000 troops, 20,000 Yang Qing was in charge, and 20,000 were in charge of the King of Chu himself. Huiming took control of it.
.
News of the great changes in Chu State soon spread to neighboring vassal states and colonies, and reached the Ming Empire as soon as possible.
"Liu Da really got it right. Something big has happened to the Chu State. This Huiming has no idea whether he wants to live or die and claims to be emperor. He is really looking for death!"
In the South African Government House, when Du Mingen received the telegram, he couldn't help but shake his head. This Huiming really thought that he could be lawless.
Even if the Chu Kingdom is defeated, there is still a more powerful Ming Dynasty. If the Emperor of Ming Dynasty gives an order, the surrounding colonies and vassal states will send troops to help the King of Chu to eliminate these monster monks.
In fact, when the telegram reached the Emperor of Heaven, Huangdi Hongzhi was furious and immediately ordered the Red Navy and the Red Sea Fleet to send troops to help Chu State quell the rebellion. At the same time, he asked neighboring vassal states and colonies to send troops to help Chu State quell the rebellion.
It is simply lawless to demand that Huiming be captured alive. He actually dares to proclaim himself emperor.
