Chapter 749(1/2)
I lost in the discussion.
As long as the matter is spread today, these monks will definitely not be able to make any wish.
They are probably expelled from Buddhism and no temple will ever take them in.
In the end, they either return to secular life or live on the streets and become a wild monk.
Relative.
Since they gave Zhao Ce the Taoist identity.
Emperor Hongzhi, as the ruler, also had to make a statement on this matter.
According to the conventions of all dynasties.
The loser in front of the emperor will be like a catastrophe.
Whether in Buddhism or Taoism, there have been several great purges from rulers before.
What happened today is not only the emperor, but also the future emperor.
This is why the master just now even began to lie on his feet.
It may not be too scary to die alone.
But if he kills a group of people.
Then the sins on him will not be washed away!
As a kind and accomplished lord, Emperor Hongzhi certainly would not use such radical techniques.
But he was a little surprised by the unradical technique.
Zhao Ce thought for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, I heard that when the late emperor, I enthroned many monks."
"Until now, there are still quite a lot of monks in my Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded.
"good."
"After I ascended the throne, I have purged it a few times."
"But the number of monks has only increased but not decreased."
There is no need to pay taxes in temples.
No need to pay any land tax and head tax that are affiliated to the name of the name.
Some monks with business minds can even operate temples into groups with the largest local industries.
They annexed the land and developed religious people.
With the development of Buddhism, more and more monks have also become.
Except for a few people who really want to ask for Buddha.
In fact, most people in the temple did not go for the sake of the Buddha.
These monks do not produce, and everything depends on the gifts and alms of pilgrims.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Except for the first emperor's attitude towards the monk was a little bit worse.
Although the emperors who followed respected Taoism as the national religion.
But his attitude towards Buddhism is not bad.
Therefore, Buddhism was developing in the Ming Dynasty and flourished.
Among all the dynasties, the most temples were built in the Ming Dynasty.
Confucianism also recognizes Buddhism and is living in peace with Buddhism.
If you develop well, you will naturally think more.
Zhao Ce said: "I think this incident happened to be an opportunity."
"An opportunity?"
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Tell me in detail."
Zhao Ce replied: "There are not a small number of fake monks among these monks."
"It is no different to have important significance for monks to stay in the Ming Dynasty."
"On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty can use this to check and balance the stable peace in Uszang and other regions."
"On the other hand, Buddhism is indeed beneficial to the court's discipline of the people."
"But too many monks are not a good thing for our dynasty."
"Your Majesty asks me how to deal with this matter."
"I think that the masters who failed to discuss the truth today can lead the false monks who have been eliminated and make meritorious contributions."
"Make another contribution to preaching for my Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Hongzhi did not react for a moment.
He looked at Zhao Ce in confusion.
"You just said that I am now too many monks in the Ming Dynasty, but after the purge, they still want to continue preaching?"
Zhao Ce explained: "What I am talking about is not preaching within my Ming Dynasty."
"Now the foreign trade of merchant ships in the Ming Dynasty is in full swing."
"After establishing a transit supply station, there must be a managed person."
"Why don't your majesty think about it and let the monks go to the local area to preach and prepare for my future colonial period?"
"Isn't this just an opportunity or an opportunity?"
Zhao Ce’s ideas were actually learned from later books.
Those foreigners will be equipped with monks on their ships.
Whenever they go to a place, these monks will preach everywhere.
He even directly used religion to govern the colonies, so that these colonized people would be willingly enslaved.
Such examples can be seen everywhere by opening a history book.
There are bad things in Buddhism.
Let the people avoid the world, eliminate their own sins, and forget their responsibilities in order to pursue practice.
However, Buddhism, which has been revised by Confucianism and Taoism, has been revised a lot and can be used by rulers.
Therefore, it is not completely bad either.
For those places where culture and production are insufficient, using Buddhism to make these people put down their minions is tantamount to the best way.
Since Catholicism and other things can be used to govern the colonies.
So what if the Ming Dynasty, which is now opening the country's doors and preparing for it, is that bad?
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Buddhism's loss, Emperor Hongzhi took advantage of the situation to propose this method.
Clear out all the fake monks and the people who exceeded the temple, and then pack and send them out with the lost masters.
In this way, they are doing their best, right?
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.
He never expected that Zhao Ce could all be mentioned here.
But if you think about it carefully, the news should be sent back to the ship that went to sea for the second time in the past few days.
After the purge and the New Year, we can indeed pack these monks together.
This method...
It seems to be really feasible!
Moreover, he agreed to several vassal kings to enter the capital not long ago.
These vassal kings came to the court for the removal of the titles of royal relatives this time.
At that time, Emperor Hongzhi planned to send his lineage out to Luzon to receive a supply station.
But Luzon was originally indigenous.
However, the Ming Dynasty has not occupied much place now, so the conflict between the two sides is not too great.
The royal family and Buddhism, which have been washed by Confucianism and Taoism, are they afraid that they will not be able to govern the local indigenous people?
But it's just a matter of time!
After Luzon succeeded, news came after news of the gold and silver mines on the Japanese island.
He can also do it according to law and use this lineup to mine directly!
To be continued...
