Chapter 884: Buddha Path
******
After Qin Mu's class returned to Chang'an, the officials and the people naturally had to celebrate, and Qin Mu once again held the Taimiao to sacrifice prisoners, constantly raising his prestige and paving the way for the upcoming judicial reform.
Throughout the past dynasties, the kings who have been kept to the past have been restrained by the ministers of the court and the central government everywhere because of their lack of prestige; Therefore, there are always many obstacles to the implementation of any reform, either they will be broken in the middle of the implementation, or they will be stillborn, and there have been very few successful cases in the past 2,000 years.
Therefore, centralization of power is necessary, at this time there are no strong enemies around Daqin, and the domestic people's livelihood is also thriving, Qin Mu's cultural and martial arts are admired by the world, and his prestige has reached the highest point.
The presumption of innocence was used to create momentum in the early stage, and good results have been achieved.
More importantly, after nearly two years of hard work, the compilation of the "Great Qin Law" has been completed.
Therefore, Qin Mu decided not to wait, and immediately launched the judicial reform that had been considered for nearly half a year.
First of all, the first step is to train the Tongzhi and county officials of each state and county.
Each province has set up training sites in the provincial capital for these officials to collectively study the Great Qin Law, while selecting officials with rich experience in adjudicating cases and giving them lectures.
After passing the examination, he will immediately go back to take over the judicial jurisdiction of the prefectures and counties. Those officials who are really unfit to practice justice are transferred.
This move was to adopt Sima An's strategy of gradual differentiation, which separated the judicial power that originally belonged to the local chief officials and assigned it to the deputies.
The opposition was immediately reduced by half, and at least these fellow intellectuals and county officials, as beneficiaries, firmly supported the judicial reform.
But as soon as the holy decree was promulgated, it still caused an uproar among officials all over the world, which Qin Mu was prepared for, as long as he didn't rebel, the uproar would be in an uproar, and all kinds of voices would always subside after a while.
In the Wuying Palace, Qin Mu summoned Huang Lianshan, the commander of the night non-acceptance. After retreating, he said to him: "Lianshan, you have to strictly monitor the local chief official these days to prevent accidents, understand?" ”
"Obey."
"Focus on monitoring those officials who are in tandem with each other and oppose judicial reform the most, you give me a good check, and if there is anything illegal, collect evidence of their violations and hand them to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Mu had secretly decided. In order to carry out this heavy judicial reform, he will not hesitate to use all nights to get an edict and prison, just like Zhu Yuanzhang, and get rid of those officials who oppose the most fiercely.
Subsequently, Qin Mu rewarded the triumphant meritorious soldiers and further won the support of the military.
In order to better control the situation, after Qin Mu rewarded the army, he immediately asked Su Jin to prepare for the class to return to Nanjing. Last year, tens of thousands of troops were dispatched from Nanjing to the north. They will return to Nanjing with the royal car.
The tens of thousands of Xinsheng divisions escorting the imperial car from Xijing back to Nanjing must be mighty and powerful, and it is also a kind of deterrent to the officials along the way.
Before returning to Nanjing, Qin Mu let Buddhism and Taoism go to two families. A grand ceremony was done to pray for the first emperor of Daqin to fulfill his filial piety.
In fact, this is also a disguised attempt to seize the commanding heights of morality.
In this era, filial piety is a word. It has an extraordinary significance, and most dynasties rule the country with filial piety, even if it is an emperor. Filial piety cannot be challenged.
People all over the world have great respect for filial piety, and even if a person breaks the law, if he is a filial son, officials will often give him a lenient sentence because of his filial piety.
At this time, Qin Mu showed his filial piety to the people of the world, which was conducive to further winning the support of the government and the people.
After the grand blessing, Qin Mucai officially received the 4th Panchen Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen and the 5th Dalai Lama Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso. and more than 20 monks such as Faqing Zen Master and Xuanjizi of Dacien Temple.
In the Xuanzheng Palace, Qin Mu sat on the top of the Danqi, glanced at the more than 20 monks with the highest prestige of the two Buddhist and Taoist families in the hall through the hanging Yu who covered his face, and finally stopped at the seventy-nine-year-old Fourth Panchen Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen.
Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen's eyebrows were all white, and Qin Mu said slowly: "Buddhism, as a foreign sect, can take root in Middle Earth, and in my opinion, the main reason is that it adapts to the needs of propagation and integrates well with the culture of the Central Plains, so that it has today's achievements.
The Panchen Lama should understand that if he cannot integrate well with the culture of the Central Plains, he is destined to be difficult to gain acceptance by the officials and people of the Central Plains. More importantly, Buddhism is a guide to goodness, and it should be otherworldly in itself;
If anyone practices the practice of secularity between church and state, covets worldly interests, and practices worldly rule in the name of gods and Buddhas, I will clearly tell him today that you have crossed the line. Whoever crosses this red line will be punished with the severest punishment. ”
Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen's white eyebrows couldn't help but tremble, and he saluted and proclaimed the Buddha's name.
"Master Panchen, I am not saying this because I have any prejudices about Tibetan Buddhism, but as the Son of Heaven, I have my own bottom line, and I repeat that no matter who you are, you must not touch my bottom line.
I have several requirements for Tibetan Buddhism, one is to strengthen exchanges with Buddhism in the Central Plains and strengthen the integration with the culture of the Central Plains, and the other is to insist on guiding people to be good and not to mix with secular politics. ”
It has been a long time since Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen came to Chang'an, but the Son of Heaven of Great Qin has not received him and the Dalai Lama, and he already has a bad premonition.
In this situation, he and Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso hurriedly stated that they would definitely do what the Son of Heaven said.
Qin Mu was not afraid of their duplicity, he implemented the method of drawing Ding in the various departments of Tubo, which greatly weakened the strength of the various departments of Tubo, even if they were unwilling, it was impossible to set off any big waves.
What's more, the Yellow Sect dominates in Qinghai and Tibet, but it has only been a few years, and now Qin Mu has decided to treat the five major schools of Tibetan Buddhism equally and impartially.
If any of the five major factions were to engage in splits, it would be much easier to deal with.
After receiving the statements of Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen and Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, Qin Mu's expression softened, and he continued: "Since the Tang Dynasty, first the Tianfang Religion has continued to expand eastward, and now Christianity and Catholicism have also continued to encroach, and our traditional Buddhism and Taoism are facing unprecedented squeeze.
Those present were all leaders of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and if they were indifferent to this, they would become sinners of their respective sects. As the so-called brothers are on the wall, they are insulted outside. Tibetan Buddhism should strengthen exchanges with the Central Plains sects, quickly integrate with the Central Plains culture, and resist the encroachment of other sects.
As a sect originating in the local area, Taoism also has to play its own role, and I believe that the main reason for the continuous decline of Taoism is that it is too closed and self-controlled, focusing only on its own cultivation, and cannot be well integrated with the concept of helping the world.
As far as I know, when Christianity is on a missionary, it will actively heal the sick and save people, and even set up some church schools to teach knowledge, and these visible acts of kindness can easily be recognized by the common people.
Taoism should seriously reflect on it, Laozi's doctrine is broad and profound, and Zhuangzi's learning is also a grand view, and Taoism should draw more essence from Laozi and Zhuangzi's doctrine and spread their doctrine. Don't pretend to be a ghost, no matter how you pretend, it's actually just a trail. Only using the doctrine of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi is the avenue of Taoism. Do more for the benefit of the people. A respected person is always more likely to be recognized by those around him for his beliefs. ”
Xuan Jizi and several Taoist master-level figures present were slightly embarrassed by Qin Mu's words, Taoism is indeed the most widespread in terms of pretending to be gods and ghosts, and all kinds of behaviors have fallen into obscenity.
Those deceitful charlatans, although they can deceive people out of money, but the pattern is inevitably looked down upon, looking at the major sects in the world, they are generally relatively atmospheric, and this is what Taoism lacks.
Taoism originally had two god-level figures, Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, and their doctrines were not inferior to Confucius and Mencius, but Taoism itself gradually abandoned and deviated from the two sages and fell into obscenity, which is really the sadness of Taoism.
This is a very peculiar meeting, the emperor in the past saw the two Buddhist and Taoist monks, all of them talked about the scriptures and preached. Qin Mu didn't talk about that at all, but only talked about how the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism should position themselves, as well as their obligations and responsibilities.
These words, the senior monks and old Taoists present can not help but take them seriously, because he is the emperor, the old things of the past dynasties have repeatedly shown that the emperor is inclined to which, which family will be prosperous, if the emperor is dissatisfied with the Buddhism and Taoism, then his life will be sad.
"My Great Qin's Rui Shi has opened up a lot of territory, and will continue to open up in the future, these places, now many of them believe in Tianfang Religion or Christianity, I hope that all the senior monks and Taoist leaders can see this, follow the footsteps of my Great Qin soldiers, and change the faith of the people in those places."
After repeated discussions, Fa Qing Shenshi and others had a plan for this. After Qin Mu finished speaking, he immediately came out to say that he wanted to send someone to Nanyang to spread Buddhism.
Qin Mu smiled faintly and said, "So good, so good." ”
