Chapter 231 Countermeasures

In fact, the prevalence of Buddhism is inseparable from the indulgence of Buddhism by previous courts.

The relatives of the emperor took the lead in worshiping Buddhism and faith, and rewarded a large area of land to the temple. In addition, the rich gentry spent money like land to support, and the people willingly donated, which led to the economic development of the temple.

Lu Qiang has always been confused. Why does the monk need so much money?

Jiangnan is economically prosperous. Although there are many temples in the world, the largest temple is under construction.

The monks in Yangzhou encouraged believers to make trouble. At this time, more than 100 bright bald heads gathered in Jiankang Huguo Temple, sitting together to study how Lu Qiang would deal with this matter.

In addition to Huineng, who has been looking for Sima Dewen, who has been presiding over this monk's expanded meeting, there are also Huiyong and Huiyuan from the temple in Xunyang.

These two monks can be said to be the conjutants of this incident, because the temple on the other side of Xunyang has been nearly bankrupt by the government, and they have long wanted to smash Lu Qiang as a wooden fish.

The host of Huguo Temple is also one of the organizers of this incident. Because Jiankang is the capital, Huguo Temple also has the largest amount of land and property, and there are the largest number of monks, believers, and people eating and drinking here.

Lu Qiang ordered the temple to hand over the land and pay grain to the government, which was not the same as killing him.

In the heart of the same hatred, the monks immediately came together to boycott the government's decrees.

More than 100 monks gathered together. Looking around, it was bright and the scene was spectacular enough. However, everyone is a Taoist monk, and there is no loud noise when they get together.

See Kong, Hui Neng, Huiyong, Huiyuan and other monks sitting in the front row, like solemn, like several generals who issued the command.

"Six brothers, will we make a little trouble!"

Huiyuan was a little less timid and looked at the monks without worrying.

Seeing the air, he smiled coldly and said, "If we don't do anything, I'm afraid we won't even have a way to live. I still think it's a little noisy!"

turned his head and looked at the old god's Hui Neng, put on a smiling face and said, "It's still Brother Huineng's idea. While petitioning, he asked the believers to show our attitude. Brother, what should we do next?"

He knew that this Huineng was very capable, and at the same time, he didn't know why he was a little afraid of him.

Huineng didn't raise his head and said, "Wait"

just said a word, and then closed his mouth again, which was a little sad.

See Kong is the host of the largest temple in the country, and he is highly respected there. Now he is snolded by Huineng, and he suddenly feels a little uncomfortable.

At this time, a thick-like fat monk stood up and saluted the monks. The urn said, "Masters, the poor monks don't think we can sit like this. As far as the poor monks know, the emperor's son kills people without blinking, and even his own relatives will not let go. Now that we make such a big move, he is willing to Do you want to give up?"

Seeing that Kong knew that he had called fate and was the host of a small temple in Yuzhou, he had a little contempt for him. In addition, the neglect he had just suffered in Huineng, he couldn't help but spread his anger on him.

"Hmm! In front of me, there is you talking..."

Before he finished speaking, Hui Neng suddenly asked, "Brother Yuan, do you have a better idea?"

The words were interrupted and almost choked back in one breath. Suddenly, his old face turned red.

Huineng turned his head and took a look at Kong and said, "It's time for us to work together. No matter who we are, as long as we have an idea, we should listen to it. Do you think it is?"

For this reason, how can you say it when you are free? However, although he stopped talking, his face became more and more gloomy.

Fate seemed not to see the empty expression and continued: "The poor monk wants to say that we should organize the temple protection monks. If the emperor's children are hard, we can't wait to die."

If it is predestined, it can be said that a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the hall "buzzed" and exploded.

"This idea doesn't work. Doesn't that make a rebellion? We just want to show our hearts to the emperor and never be rebellious."

"The poor monk thinks it's a good idea. Now the emperor has pushed us to the edge of life and death, and the left and right are all dead. Why don't you fight?"

For a while, everything was said in the hall.

Hui Neng shouted suddenly after waiting for the monks to argue: "Quiet"

No one expected that the kind-looking wisdom could have such a loud voice, and this quiet word clearly came to everyone's ears.

The hall suddenly became silent again, but at this time, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and then a young monk stumbled in.

"Master, master, big and big things are not good, Yangzhou is suddenly surrounded by a large army, all contact between inside and outside is cut off, and the army has blocked all accesses"

"Wang..."

The words of the little monk suddenly messed up the hall that had been quiet. But this time, Huineng didn't interrupt them again. That's what he wanted.

He was also a little confused when he saw the sky. He hoped that the emperor would not interfere in Buddhism, but he would care more about his life.

And those monks who shout to universalize all sentient beings every day and can be honored in the Western world of Bliss after death are also not afraid of death.

Huineng quietly wined at fate. In this case, he really didn't need to say anything more.

After Yuan and Huineng exchanged eyes, they jumped to the front and shouted, "How's it going? That's what I said! What are you waiting for? Are you allowed to be slaughtered by officers and soldiers?

Fate jumped out at this time, which is undoubtedly the most inspiring, and suddenly many monks followed the noise.

"Brother is right, we can't sit back and wait for death. Let's organize the monk..."

Huiyong and Huiyuan's minds are almost the same, but the current situation is no longer what they can dominate.

Huiyong quickly stood up and raised his hand to stop the excitement of the monks and shouted, "We are all monks who eat fast and recite Buddha. Do we have the power to compete with the officers and soldiers? In addition, the matter may not be so serious. Let's wait until further news comes!"

Although Huineng is also a monk of the Hui generation, the two monks of Huiyong and Huiyuan are not the same master.

Huiyong glanced at him and said, "Don't you know that this emperor is doing things now? Either he doesn't do it. Once it is launched, it must be planned. I'm afraid that now outside our temple, it has been stared at by the government."

turned his head and said, "Master Huiyong is not unreasonable to worry. Although there are many believers in the world, most of them are unarmed people. How can they fight against officers and soldiers like tigers and wolves?"

Yuan smiled gently and said, "Although there are many practitioners, I'm afraid that the masters have forgotten that there are many farms in each temple, and there are many green and strong in the village. I believe that as long as a few masters give orders, tens of thousands of troops can be formed in a blink of an eye, and as long as we raise the flag, the believers in the world will also flock to come." < /P>

"Of course, our purpose is not to overthrow the court. We just want to show our demands to the emperor, force the emperor to give in to us, and no longer interfere in the affairs of our temple."

The last sentence can be said to be very inflammatory. Now everyone knows that the army of the State of Jin is invincible under the leadership of the emperor. It is a real iron army. Isn't it different for these bankers to fight against such an army?

But everyone just gathered together to put pressure on the emperor, not to rebel. Is this always the past?

I have to say that except for a few people with ulterior motives, the mind of most monks is still very simple.

Everything should be said, and the thoughts of the monks gradually unified. Huineng was preparing to make a concluding speech, but the door of the hall was pushed open again.

"Master, no, it's not good, the officers and soldiers rushed in..."

It's still the little monk who reported the news just now. This time, he ran too fast and fell to the ground directly after saying that.

"Hum..."

The determination of the monks is obviously not enough. A little wind and grass can make them mess up for a long time.

Huineng frowned secretly. Obviously, he didn't expect the officers and soldiers to move so fast and wine at fate. At the sign of his eyes, he quietly retreated behind the monks and quickly disappeared in the apse.

Huineng doesn't want to leave, but the eyes of the monks are basically focused on him. If he goes, he is afraid that he will have to follow him. In this way, how can he slip away?

At this time, as the master, I heard that the officers and soldiers were coming. For some reason, I was quietly relieved and ignored Huineng and others, and strode out to meet them.

As soon as I got to the door of the hall, I saw countless officers and soldiers rushing in, and then a thick-g young officer also came in.

"Hurry up, surround this place and search every place carefully"

The young officer shouted as he walked. Naturally, this was Xu Wei who was ordered by Lu Qiang.

Xu Wei is young and old and has a fatherly style. He has watched his father rebel since he was a child. Although his education is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and he is absolutely loyal to Lu Qiang, there is still a trace of banditry in his bones, which is why Lu Qiang sent him here.

People make the best use of their talents.

These eight words have always been Lu Qiang's political principles.

Seeing Kong quickly walking out of the hall, Xu Wei opened his mouth first before he could speak.

He craned his neck and looked into the hall, and then said, "Ouch! Master, is this the way to do it? Sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you. I don't understand this kind of thing. You're busy with you. Don't worry about me."

I almost lost my breath when I saw an empty nose. What's the matter? I broke into the temple with a brigade of officers and soldiers, but asked me to be busy with me. Am I still in the mood?

suppressed his anger and said, "Little general, you led troops into my temple for no reason. Dare to ask the general, is the poor monk who violated the law, or the people in my temple violated the law?"

Although the empty shouts are hard, they are a little lacking in confidence. After all, they were still talking about rebellion just now.

In contrast, the brothers behind them, who had just screamed one by one, suddenly wither like frosted eggplants when they saw the murderous appearance of the officers and soldiers.

After hearing the empty words, Xu Wei immediately showed an unbelievable expression and said, "What? Doesn't the master know yet? A few days ago, the remnants of a group of Erliu burst into the city and committed crimes everywhere. I heard that they like to kill baldness most. Monk, the young general received His Majesty's order and must protect the safety of the masters, so he led the troops to come as soon as possible. The master can rest assured that the safety here will be handed over to me in the future."

After saying that, Xu Wei didn't care what the reaction was when he saw Kong. He turned around and ordered the soldiers.

Second Liu Yu's evil to kill monks? What about fooling ghosts? Let's not talk about whether they have any remnants, even if they have anything to do with the monk? It is clear that the government knew something and put the monks under house arrest in this disguised way.

Seeing the sky, I couldn't help turning my head and looking at the brothers behind me. Wherever I could see, I suddenly found that Huineng was gone.
