Chapter 140: The Cruelty of Political Dealings
Chapter 140: The Cruelty of Political Dealings
The ability to shut down the door and beat the dog is a basic quality of all local officials.
Wealth needs to be precipitated.
Just like Yushan at this time, Yun Zhao didn't have so much money to build roads, halls, and even various convenience facilities on Yushan.
At this time, because of religious needs, there are many people who want to build the best temples in the world on Jade Mountain, which is an honor and an affirmation for them.
For Yun Zhao, religion needs to be restrained, they cannot develop unscrupulously, if they are allowed to develop freely, the time for the final change of production is not far away.
Yun Zhao personally came to the Zhengjue Temple at the foot of the mountain, and he was greeted by the old abbot Huiming Zen Master who did not have a plaque.
From the first time he saw Zen Master Huiming, Yun Zhao knew that this old monk was not a quasi-believer who ate fasting and recited Buddha, and from his bright eyes, Yun Zhao could see Hong Chengchou's shadow.
It's not that this old monk is with Hong Chengchou, it's just that this old monk is the same as Hong Chengchou, he is an old and spicy person who knows the world, think about it, can be elected by the monks of the world to serve as the host master of Zhengjue Temple, and it is not possible to become a monk.
Enlightened monks, like true gentlemen, are easily bullied.
If it's just that the eminent monks of ordinary temples are bullied, it may become a good talk, and the temple is willing to bear such losses.
However, Zhengjue Temple is not an ordinary place, what is needed here is a monk who must be compared, after all, if you lose a little here, the loss of monks all over the world will be too great.
No matter how rich Buddhism is, it can't afford it.
The plaque sent by Yun Zhao himself had been hung by the monks at the gate 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 he was very emotional, every monk is a good aesthete.
At least that's the case at Zhengjue Temple.
Standing at the entrance of the temple, after the simple temple gate was paired with the "Supreme Enlightenment" plaque with black letters on a blue background, it immediately radiated a new charm.
Not only that, after editing the vision through the position, Yun Zhao, who was standing at the gate, found that this plaque seemed to be inlaid on the chest of the huge Buddha behind him.
The four words of supreme enlightenment, coupled with the huge sitting statue, make people awe-inspired, and the plaque written by Yun Zhao instantly became a word of praise for the Buddha behind him.
After all, in the eyes of Buddhists, supreme enlightenment is precisely the highest praise for the Buddha.
Yun Zhao added an orthography in the middle of Supreme Enlightenment, which carried forward this praise even more.
In the admiration of Zen Master Huiming, the four words "Supreme Enlightenment" written by Yun Zhao instantly became the words that can only be written by the supreme calligrapher.
The clouded leopard who accompanied Yun Zhao remembered what Yun Zhao and Xu Yuanshou said in the big study, and he wanted to laugh out loud, but after being stopped many times by the cautious Pei Zhong, he barely held back his laughter and stood aside to act as a low-level guard.
Zen Master Huiming admired very sincerely!
Especially when the monk in the temple opened the gate and let the two waterfalls splash down, behind the gate, immediately under the transpiration of the sunny day, two rainbows suddenly appeared......
The emperor came to worship the Buddha, and the emperor just gave the temple a plaque, and then ...... Rainbow ...... in winter It's not a goddamn miracle, what else is a miracle?
The most terrible thing is that the four words written by Yun Zhao seem to open the light to the Buddha, and they appear in the center of people's sight.
Yun Zhao is just that, he knows the truth of 'three points, seven points', and once saw a businessman who sold Jiuliangye wine, and he had to frame the stinky words written by a big leader into a famous style through framing.
It's just that the old monk named Huiming in front of him can use nature to set off his words into miracles, which is too rare, I have to say that the cultural heritage of Buddhism is too strong, and the abundance is breathtaking!
The clouded leopard who hid and smoked, the cigarette that had been lit slipped from the corner of his mouth, staring blankly at everything in front of him, unbelievable.
At this moment, the clouded leopard was convinced that his nephew was the true son of heaven and the true son of the dragon!!
"If you know a little bit about the principles of optics, you won't be so surprised."
Pei Zhong whispered in the clouded leopard's ear.
"Get out, my majesty is the true dragon emperor, you see, the words he writes will glow, and the two rainbows behind are what rainbows are, they are clearly two colored dragons!"
Whether Pei Zhong believes it or not, the clouded leopard believes it, and he is ready to go back and tell his sister-in-law about the miracle he saw today!
If anyone dares to refute, the clouded leopard is ready to use force!
Seeing that Yun Zhao still looked indifferent, the disappointment in his eyes flashed, and he immediately folded his hands together, bowed his head and said: "Thank Your Majesty Hongfu, the mud and stone sitting statue now has spirituality, all thanks to Your Majesty." ”
Yun Zhao said lightly: "I respect Buddhism, not because Buddhism has all kinds of miracles, but because Buddhism has the merit of guiding people to goodness, and this merit is the reason why my Buddha can be admired by thousands of people in my Ming Dynasty."
Zen masters must not be disturbed by external objects and forget the original intention of our Buddha. ”
Zen Master Huiming saluted again: "Your Majesty said that all things are false, as long as you have good thoughts, Lingshan will be close at hand, and guiding people to goodness is the root of the Buddha, and only good people can get great blessings, great merits, and great perfection." ”
Yun Zhao clasped his hands together and saluted: "I hope that the master can always uphold this heart, so that Zhengjue Temple should rest with the country." ”
When Zen Master Huiming heard Yun Zhao say this, he solemnly put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good!" Zhengjue Temple must be based on promoting goodness, never colluding with foreign heavenly demons, and do it to see God and kill God, see Buddha and kill Buddha. ”
Yun Zhao looked at this clever monk and nodded, "Except for the deity, the rest should be evil demons!" ”
Zen Master Huiming took out a document from his sleeve and presented it to Yun Zhao with both hands: "Your Majesty, the evil demons are all here, and I also ask Your Majesty to be the protector of my Buddhism, and use the Veda pestle to kill all the evil demons." ”
Yun Zhao opened the document and glanced at it, then handed it to Pei Zhong and said, "It will be handed over to the company for processing, and it cannot be delayed." ”
Pei Zhong carefully packed the paperwork into his backpack, and then left the Zhengjue Temple under the protection of the guards.
Yun Zhao continued to visit Zhengjue Temple accompanied by Zen Master Huiming, and finally came to the foot of the Big Buddha, looked up at the tall Buddha, sighed slightly, untied the golden crown from his head, and respectfully placed it on the Buddha's lotus seat.
"Master, I came here in a hurry this time, I have no long things, only a golden crown, which is dedicated to my Buddha's feet."
Zen Master Huiming was very satisfied with Yun Zhao's return gift, and put his hands together with a smile and said: "Your Majesty has a heart, worship my Buddha, and the fragrance of the heart is enough." ”
It was under the witness of this big Buddha that Yun Zhao and Zen Master Huiming completed the transaction.
Buddhism handed over all the information about the White Lotus Sect, Maitreya Sect, and various evil ways derived from Buddhism, and Yun Zhao also used his golden crown to guarantee that he would not destroy the Buddha within the scope of the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, it was also agreed that the Lantian Imperial Court could clean up some temples that had gone too far within the boundaries of the Ming Dynasty, and they even pointed out by name those temples that needed to be cleaned up by the imperial court.
There may be a way to crack down on different minds and the same sect, but Yun Zhao doesn't care, he doesn't care about the sect of Buddhism, he just feels that the scale of Buddhism needs to be reduced.
It's a happy situation for all.
It is also a very successful political transaction, as for who will become a martyr in this political transaction, Yun Zhao doesn't care, and Hui Ming doesn't care either, they only care about the purpose.
Yun Zhao was in a very good mood, sitting at the foot of the Buddha, listening to Huiming Zen Master explain a section of the "Diamond Sutra" with the rainbow that he was reluctant to disperse for a long time, and finally used some fast food in Zhengjue Temple, said good, and left Zhengjue Temple.
As soon as he left the Zhengjue Temple, the believers who were guarding the outside of the temple flocked in, and in an instant, the Zhengjue Temple was full.
Yun Zhao returned to the big study, and Pei Zhong came to report.
"Your Majesty, these monks are so poisonous."
Yun Zhao said lightly: "The heart is not poisonous, how can the four major be empty?" ”
Pei Zhong was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you revise 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 our power, just take this opportunity to eradicate it."
Religions that bloom on all sides are terrifying, and religions that flourish alone are easy to control. ”
When Pei Zhong heard Yun Zhao say this, the last bit of hesitation in his heart immediately disappeared, and he said to Yun Zhao: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, Weichen will follow the list in this document." ”
Yun Zhao sneered: "Go ahead, you have to cut through the mess quickly, at this time, clean up the Buddha Gate, and others will not resent us." ”
Pei Zhong smiled and said: "In this case, Weichen will inadvertently reveal the news of the existence of this document, of course, when it is executed to the late stage." ”
Yun Zhao smiled: "You are a smart one, you always have a loss to stay with me, do you want to go out and see it?" ”
Pei Zhong smiled: "It's just that I can't bear Your Majesty." ”
"Tell me, where do you want to go?"
"Weichen thinks it's a good idea to take up the post of Ningxia Mansion."
"Far from the Central Plains? What do you think? ”
"Weichen wants to grind for a period of time in the mature land of my Ming Dynasty, and in the future, he will also be able to shepherd one side for His Majesty."
"Then before you leave, pick me another confidential secretary."
"Weichen thinks Zhang Xiu is very suitable."
"Huh? Zhang Xiu? The guy who couldn't even say anything when he saw me? ”
Pei Zhong said with a smile: "Your Majesty should know the truth that Shibei should be impressed in three days, in four years, Zhang Xiu has been trained." ”
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "I can still trust your recommendation, since this is the case, let's arrange for him to enter the Zhuoba experience!" ”
Pei Zhong was grateful to Yun Zhao, he didn't expect that the person he proposed would hold such an important position, and His Majesty agreed without even thinking about it.
It's a certainty!
Every secretary of His Majesty will recommend the next secretary when he leaves, from Xu Wu to Yang Xiong, to Liu Cheng, to Pei Zhong, His Majesty is trusting.
Before leaving, Pei Zhong also wanted to talk to Zhang Xiuchang once, don't cut off this good tradition.
