Chapter 140: The Cruelty of Political Transactions
Chapter 140 The Cruelty of Political Transactions
The ability to close the door and fight dogs is a basic quality for all local officials.
Wealth needs to be settled.
Just like Yushan at this time, Yun Zhao didn't have that much money to build roads, halls, and even various convenient facilities on Yushan.
At this time, due to religious needs, many people hope to build the best temples in the world on Jade Mountain, which is a kind of glory and a kind of affirmation for them.
For Yun Zhao, religion needs to be constrained, and they cannot develop unscrupulously. If they are allowed to develop freely, the time for the transformation of production and generation will not be far away.
Yun Zhao personally came to Zhengjue Temple at the foot of the mountain, and greeted him with the old abbot, Zen Master Huiming, who had no plaque yet.
From the first glance when I saw Zen Master Huiming, Yun Zhao knew that this old monk was not a wise man who believed in eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name. From his bright eyes, Yun Zhao could see Hong Chengchou's shadow.
It’s not that this old monk is in the same group as Hong Chengchou, but that this old monk is like Hong Chengchou, who is both a skilled and knowledgeable person. Thinking about it, he can be elected by monks all over the world as the host of Zhengjue Temple and cannot be a master of Taoism.
A monk who has attained enlightenment is like a real gentleman, and is easily bullied.
If only ordinary temples have been bullied, it may become a good story, and the temples are willing to bear such losses.
However, Zhengjue Temple is not an ordinary place. What we need here is a mediocre monk. After all, if you lose a little here, the monks in the world will suffer too much.
No matter how rich Buddhism is, it cannot afford it.
The plaque sent by Yun Zhao himself was hung at the gate by monks before Yun Zhao arrived at the main gate.
After Yun Zhao arrived, he looked at the new plaque that had just been hung in front of him, and felt very moved that every monk was a good aesthetician.
At least this is true in Zhengjue Temple.
Standing at the entrance of the temple, the simple temple gate was paired with the plaque "Supreme Zhengjue" with a blue background and black letters, and a new charm immediately emerged.
Not only that, after editing the vision through the location, Yun Zhao, who was standing at the gate, found that the plaque seemed to be embedded in the chest of the huge and uninvited Buddha behind him.
The four words "Supreme Awakening" and the huge sitting statue made people feel awe-inspiring. The plaque written by Yun Zhao instantly turned into a praising word for the Buddha behind him.
After all, in the eyes of Buddhism, supreme enlightenment is precisely the highest praise to the Buddha.
Yun Zhao added a regular word to the middle of the Supreme Awakening, which even carried forward this praise.
Amid the admiration of Zen Master Huiming, the four words "Supreme Awakening" written by Yun Zhao instantly became words that can only be written by the supreme calligraphy.
Yun Bao, who accompanied Yun Zhao, remembered what Yun Zhao and Xu Yuanshou said in the big study, and wanted to laugh out loud, but after being stopped by the cautious Pei Zhong many times, he reluctantly held back his smile and stood aside and acted as a low-level guard.
Zen Master Huiming praised him very sincerely!
Especially when the monk in the temple opened the gate and let two waterfalls splash down, behind the gate, two rainbows suddenly appeared under the influence of the sunny day...
The emperor came to worship Buddha. The emperor had just given a plaque to the temple, and then... a rainbow appeared in winter... This is not a miracle, what else is a miracle?
The most terrible thing is that the four words written by Yun Zhao seemed to be consecrating the Buddha, appearing right at the center of people's sight. At this time, if anyone says these four words are stinky words, they will definitely be scolded by everyone.
It's fine for Yun Zhao. He knew the truth of "three-part characters, seven-part frame" well, and once saw a merchant selling Jiuliangye wine, who forced the stinky words written by a large leader into the style of a famous family through mounting.
But the old monk named Huiming in front of me was able to use nature to set off his words into miracles. This is so rare. It has to be said that the cultural heritage of Buddhism is really too strong, and it is amazing!
The cloud leopard hiding and smoking was lit, and the lit cigarette roll slid from the corner of her mouth, staring at everything in front of her, incredible.
At this moment, Yun Bao firmly believed that his nephew was the true emperor of destiny and the true dragon emperor!!!
"If you understand the principle of optical, you won't be so surprised."
Pei Zhong whispered in Yunbao's ear.
"Get out, my Majesty is the true dragon emperor. Look, the words he wrote will shine. Where is the rainbow in the back? It is clearly two colorful dragons!"
Whether Pei Zhong believes it or not, Yun Bao believes it. He is also going back to tell his sister-in-law about the miracle he saw today!
If anyone dares to refute, Yunbao is ready to use force!
Seeing that Yun Zhao was still looking indifferent, Zen Master Huiming flashed his disappointment in his eyes, and immediately folded his hands together, bowed his head and said, "I ask Your Majesty to be very blessed. The mud and stone statue has spirituality now, thanks to Your Majesty."
Yun Zhao said lightly: "I respect Buddhism not because Buddhism has all kinds of magical features, but because Buddhism has the merit of guiding people to be good. This merit is the reason why my Buddha was admired by all people in my Ming Dynasty.
Zen masters should not be disturbed by external things and forget the original intention of my Buddha."
Zen Master Huiming bowed again and said, "What Your Majesty said is that all things are false. As long as you have good thoughts, Lingshan will be close to you. Guide people to the good will be the root of Buddha. Only good people can get great blessings, great merits, and great perfection."
Yun Zhao clasped his hands together and returned, saying, "I hope the master can always uphold this heart. In this way, Zhengjue Temple should rest with the country."
When Zen Master Huiming heard Yun Zhao say this, he clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good! Zhengjue Temple must be based on promoting goodness and will never be in harmony with the demons outside the territory, and will also be able to see the gods and kill the gods and see the Buddhas and kill the Buddhas."
Yun Zhao looked at the clever monk and nodded, "Except for the deity, I should be evil demons and heretics!"
Zen Master Huiming took out a document from his sleeve and presented it to Yun Zhao with both hands, saying, "Your Majesty, all the evil demons and here are here. Please ask Your Majesty to be the guardian of my Buddhism, Wei Tuo, and hold the Wei Tuo pestle to kill all the evil demons."
Yun Zhao opened the document and glanced at it, then handed it to Pei Zhong: "The delivery will be handled by the department, and no delays shall be made."
Pei Zhong carefully put the documents into his backpack, and then left Zhengjue Temple under the protection of his guards.
Yun Zhao continued to visit Zhengjue Temple accompanied by Zen Master Huiming. Finally, he came to the foot of the Buddha, looked up at the tall Buddha, sighed slightly, took off his golden crown from his head, and placed it respectfully on the Buddha's lotus seat.
"Master, I am in a hurry to come this time. I have no body and nothing but a golden crown, which is dedicated to my Buddha's foot."
Zen Master Huiming was very satisfied with the return gift given by Yun Zhao. He clasped his hands with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is intent, and I worship my Buddha. A piece of fragrance is enough."
Under the witness of this great Buddha, Yun Zhao and Zen Master Huiming completed the transaction.
Buddhism has handed over all the evil heretics about the White Lotus Sect, the Maitreya Sect, and all kinds of evil and heretics derived from Buddhism. Yun Zhao also used his golden crown as a guarantee to ensure that he would not act in the scope of the Ming Dynasty to destroy Buddhism.
At the same time, it also agreed that the Lantian imperial court could clean up some temples that were too overdoing within the boundaries of the Ming Dynasty. They even pointed out that those temples needed to be cleaned by the court.
There may be some way to crack down on fellow disciples of different mental methods in the meantime, but Yun Zhao didn't care. He didn't care about the Buddhist sect, but he just felt that the scale of Buddhism needed to be reduced.
This is a happy situation.
It is also a very satisfactory political transaction. As for who will become a burial object in this political transaction, Yun Zhao doesn't care, and Huiming doesn't care either. They only care about the purpose.
Yun Zhao was in a good mood. He sat at the foot of the Buddha, holding the rainbow that he had not wanted to disperse for a long time and listened to Zen Master Huiming explaining a passage of the Diamond Sutra. Finally, he used some vegetarian food in Zhengjue Temple, said ok, and left Zhengjue Temple.
As soon as he left Zhengjue Temple, believers who were waiting outside the temple flocked in, and in an instant, they filled Zhengjue Temple.
As soon as Yun Zhao returned to the big study, Pei Zhong came to report.
"Your Majesty, these monks are so poisonous."
Yun Zhao said lightly: "If your heart is not poisonous, how can you achieve the four elements empty?"
Pei Zhong was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you modify it?"
Yun Zhao looked at Pei Zhong and said, "Actually, any religion is our enemy. As long as they are still preaching, they are depriving us of power and taking this opportunity to eradicate it.
Religions that bloom on all sides are terrible, but religions that are unique are easy to control."
When Pei Zhong heard Yun Zhao say this, his last hesitation disappeared immediately and said to Yun Zhao: "Your Majesty, since that's the case, I will follow the list on this book."
Yun Zhao sneered, "Go, you have to cut the mess quickly. When you clean up the Buddhist sect, others will not resent us."
Pei Zhong laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I will unintentionally reveal the news of the existence of this book, of course, it was when it was executed until the late stage."
Yun Zhao smiled and said, "You are a smart person. You are a little bit of a loss when you stay with me. Do you want to go out and see me?"
Pei Zhong smiled and said, "I just can't bear to leave Your Majesty."
"Speak quickly, where do you want to go?"
"Weichen thinks it is a good idea to be appointed to Ningxia Prefecture."
"Far away from the Central Plains? What do you think?"
"I want to explore the mature land of our Ming Dynasty for a while, so that I can guard the side of His Majesty in the future."
"Then choose another confidential secretary for me before leaving."
"I think Zhang Xiu is very suitable."
"Huh? Zhang Xiu? That guy who doesn't even speaks smoothly when he sees me?"
Pei Zhong smiled and said, "Your Majesty should know the truth that the scholar should look at him with admiration after three days of separation. In four years, Zhang Xiu has already trained."
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "I can trust your recommendation. Since that's the case, let's arrange for him to enter Zhuoba!"
Pei Zhong bowed to Yun Zhao with gratitude. He did not expect that the person he proposed to hold such an important position, and His Majesty agreed without even thinking about it.
This is a certainty!
Whenever His Majesty's secretary resigns, he will recommend the next secretary to choose. From Xu Wu to Yang Xiong, to Liucheng, to him, Pei Zhong, his Majesty has great trust.
Chapter completed!
