Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty Nine: Extinguishing Buddha and Going to Dao(1/2)

The king of Baoxiang looked at it closely, but he couldn't help but tremble all over and pointed at the object on the ground and said, "This...this is..."

Tang Sanzang smiled faintly and nodded slightly: "Yes, this is exactly the head of Huo Ji!"

Speaking of this, Tang Sanzang felt embarrassed. Where did Huo Ji get the head level? At that time, he took a casual move and became enormous, and it turned into a blood mist!

This head level is just a trick you made to fool Baoxiang King... No, it is not considered fooling, then Huo Ji was obviously killed by himself!

Thinking of this, Tang Sanzang became more confident again.

Then he said: "Huo Ji has died, and his nine achievements have also been destroyed. Now that the two major constraints inside and outside have been eliminated, your Majesty can make great achievements!"

After hearing Tang Sanzang's words, the King of Baoxiang couldn't help but be stunned.

Since he was lingering in his sick bed, Huo Ji has acted recklessly in the court, eroding the power of his own king little by little. In the end, even his personal imperial guards were in control.

Huo Ji really did it and trapped himself tightly on that small sickbed!

In the inner court, Su Jiugong's mind also changed!

This slave began to replace his trusted eunuch around him with his confidant little by little.

Fortunately, this slave is timid and just changed his eunuch and did nothing out of order.

But this alone is enough to sentence him to death by the King of Baoxiang.

If it weren't for the time when he still needed Su Jiugong to check and balance Huo Ji, and he was really afraid of forcing this slave to bite people in a hurry, how could he tolerate it so much?

Now... these two major constraints have been eliminated, and the outer court and the inner court have fallen back to their hands. Can I really make great achievements?

Thinking of this, the king of Baoxiang suddenly became a little confused. He had suffered from a serious illness in the past few years and could not do anything. Now he was talking about great things, but he didn't know how to do it for a while.

As my mind turned around, I saw Tang Sanzang standing aside with a smile on his face.

He was immediately blessed to his heart, and he gave a tribute to Tang Sanzang without hesitation, and said sincerely: "Please teach me the national master Shang Father!"

"Do your Majesty know the teachings of my holy religion?" Tang Sanzang asked in a daze.

The king of Baoxiang was suffocated and then shook his head awkwardly.

Although he established the Holy Church as the national religion and worshipped Tang Sanzang as the national teacher Shangfu, he really never understood what this Holy Church was.

Tang Sanzang was not angry when he saw this. The reaction of the king Baoxiang was already as expected. At that time, the king was almost in danger and his beloved daughter was captured by others.

At that time, his Holy Church leader was a life-saving straw in the eyes of this king. Is this matter of establishing the Holy Church as the National Church just an exchange in his eyes? How could he have the intention to really study the teachings of this Holy Church?

Tang Sanzang felt agitation, but said, "Since that's the case, I will tell Your Majesty apart, my holy teachings!"

After saying that, Tang Sanzang first started with the essence of the Legalists, and then, this was Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, military, and agriculture...

The so-called holy teaching is actually a great fusion of various schools of thought, or in other words, it wraps these schools of thought in one place with the holy teachings as the cloak.

The King of Baoxiang had never heard of such a great way of governing the country. For a moment, he was crying and muttering to himself: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Among them, the two schools of law and Confucianism have the most appetite for the king of treasure.

It is simply a powerful tool to govern the people with Confucianism, govern the country with law, take the law as the backbone, and use Confucianism as the appearance.

Besides, the Mohist family could flourish and military strategists to govern the army, and then famous generals emerged, invincible and unstoppable!

If a farmer manages the land, there will be a bumper harvest of grains and a prosperous animal. In this way, peace will not be far away in the world!

The king of Baoxiang looked at Tang Sanzang with awe. He was not the leader of a sect, but he was clearly a great sage in governing the country!

According to legend, in ancient times, the Zhou Dynasty's pilgrimage king dreamed of Feixiong at night, and he was able to obtain the great wise man who ruled the world. Taigong Wang, who decided to establish the country and the country of the Holy Zhou for 800 years. Could it be that Baoxiang Kingdom also welcomed Taigong Wang today?

In this way, I will be the Holy King too?

Thinking of this, the King of Baoxiang couldn't help but tremble all over his body excitedly. He grabbed Tang Sanzang's sleeve, then took a breath, calmed down slightly, and then said as calmly as possible: "I heard that the national master Shangfu is also in the position of the national master in the Tang Dynasty. I believe that the Tang Dynasty is strong must be taught by the national master Shangfu. I dared to ask the national master Shangfu to teach Baoxiang's strategy to enrich the people!"

Is Baoxiang Country powerful?

It depends on whom it compares with.

If we say that, it is compared among the small Western countries around us.

The Baoxiang Kingdom is located in 17 prefectures and counties, with more than 4 million people, and is equipped with 20,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry, and a total of 100,000 elite troops. If it is temporarily recruited and mobilized, it can also raise 200,000 arms, which can be called the overlord of one side.

But if it is compared with Datang...

Five hundred prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty!

The people have 400 million people, and they have 300,000 cavalry and more than one million infantry. They can temporarily recruit and mobilize, and raise the banner of recruiting and summon more than two million and three million troops!

If Baoxiang Kingdom is compared with the Tang Dynasty...

Stop funny, Baoxiang Kingdom is not qualified to be comparable to the Tang Dynasty!

A fanatical light flashed in Tang Sanzang's eyes, and he heard his voice in a low voice: "If you want Baoxiang's country to be rich and strong, the first thing is to let the Holy Teaching integrate the people of Baoxiang's country into their daily lives!"

The next day, the king of Baoxiang ordered that all the Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, Taoisms, and Buddhist families in Baoxiang were removed from all the gods enfeoffed by the two families of Taoxiang, and they would not be recognized!

The decree was made, and the whole country was in an uproar, and countless Buddhists and Taoists were almost in full swing!

The county magistrates and officials from all over the country were all sweating profusely.

These monks and Taoist priests are not honestly chanting scriptures and vegetarians. They all have Taoist soldiers and monk soldiers, and they have a deep relationship with local wealthy families. If you are not careful, you will be afraid that the situation will be corrupt!

Baoxiang City, the palace is in the large area, and in the king's small study.

Three people gathered together.

Sit and one stop.

The ones sitting were naturally Baoxiang King and Tang Sanzhan.

Standing was a young official.

This person is called Wei Taiqiu.

It was one of the several scholars who had a very happy conversation with Tang Sanzang in Baoxiang South City that day.

He was originally a child of a noble family, and was recommended as an official because of his outstanding talent and knowledge.

I never thought that after entering the officialdom, I actually made achievements and did some real good things for the people.

At this age, being able to do such things is due to youth and aspiration.

Originally, his future was very good.

But the good times didn't last long. Not long after, Huo Ji took over the power. Wei Taiqiu's family, Wei's family, was hit hard because they were inconsistent with Huo Ji's interests.

The family kills, the ones are demoted, and the ones are exiled.

Wei Taiqiu was lucky. An official under Huo Ji had a good relationship with him. He pleaded for him at Huo Ji, which only deprived him of his official position, did not exile, nor did he take his life.

Even though I saved my life, I don’t have to travel thousands of miles to stay in this Baoxiang City.

But Wei Taiqiu's life was not easy. All the family's family was taken away by the Huo family, and he refused to accept his help as a friend, so he could only work hard labor and earn some food in Baoxiang South City, and barely survive.

Until that day, when he met Tang Sanzang preaching in Nancheng, Wei Taiqiu was overjoyed when he heard this. The various views that Tang Sanzang said were exactly what he wanted.

Wei Taiqiu also left a deep impression on Tang Sanzang.

Just in the past two days, the King of Baoxiang cleared the remnants of the Huo family in the court and vacated a large number of official positions. Just as he was worried that no one would be available for a while, he recommended Wei Taiqiu.

Just so happened that the Wei family could not be in conjunction with Huo Ji before, which eventually led to the destruction of the family. The King of Baoxiang also heard about it. Hearing that Wei Taiqiu was from the Wei clan, he had a great impression of it.

The summoned to the imperial preface was a good word, and I couldn't help but feel even more satisfied and directly awarded the important position.

At this moment, Wei Taiqiu was reporting to the king and Tang Sanzang about the obstacles encountered by all parties when he cleaned up the Buddhist and Taoist believers and temples in the past few days.

"When I was in the reign of Taizu of Baoxiang, a monk and Taoist came to the reign. At that time, the Queen Mother was seriously ill and was in danger. At that time, there was a monk and Taoist who each gave a pill of elixir. The Queen Mother took it and recovered in an instant, and then his life was extended by 13 years. Taizu was very happy and decided to set a national policy. From then on, monks and Taoists did not need to pay taxes and were in labor service. The kings of future generations could not change it!" Speaking of this, Wei Taiqiu looked carefully at the King of Baoxiang.

The king of Baoxiang looked gloomy. He had long been tired of the monks and Taoists in Baoxiang. Not only did he not pay taxes, but he also had private soldiers. What's more, he made money in various ways, either openly or secretly.

They are obviously monks with pure six senses, but they are all full of minds, like giant businessmen.

These Baoxiang kings could tolerate it, but these restless monks and Taoists actually wanted to interfere in government affairs.

When the king of Baoxiang was young, he carried out a major purge on the royal family.

The reason is that one year I decided to test the real estate and temples of Buddha and Taoism.

Unexpectedly, these monks and Taoists deeply hated each other.

He actually contacted a ambitious vassal king in the Baoxiang royal family. He never added taxes to the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and established the two religions as conditions for the national religion. He almost devoted all his financial resources and supported him with his troops to seize the throne of the king.

Fortunately, the king of Baoxiang was extremely alert and never felt at ease with these royal families. In addition, these monks and Taoist priests were not intimate in their work, so they leaked out the news in advance.

So the king of Baoxiang took the initiative and took decisive action, forcing the vassal king to death in the mansion. This was not the end. He took the opportunity to launch a prison and forced the vassal king's confidant subordinates to scramble and clean up the entire Baoxiang royal family.

This also led to the weak power of the royal family, and later, Huo Ji could only watch Huo Ji seize power, openly form cliques in the court for personal gain, and cover up the sky with one hand.

But even so, the Buddha and Taoism were not hurt by a single hair, but just a sentence was spreading rumors by the vassal king, and this matter was over.

But the Baoxiang King at that time was so disgusting that he was so disgusting that he had no choice.

For a moment, the King of Baoxiang fell into memories of the past.

Wei Taiqiu glanced at the king and saw that the king did not say a word, so he could only continue: "Because the land in the temple does not require taxation, many local tribes have sent a lot of their land in the name of the temple and Taoist temple. The price paid was 30% of the original land tax. Those temples and Taoist temples also repaid their favors, and they have refined many elixirs that can strengthen the body and prolong their life, and donated them to those local tribes..."

Speaking of this, Wei Taiqiu also frowned: "So, now Buddhism and Taoism have already sat on the same boat with the aristocratic families in those places. It can be said that they are prospering and losing. Therefore, the matter of abolishing the temple and Taoist temples... is afraid that there is great resistance. Please ask the monarch and the national master Shangfu... to think twice!"

Wei Taiqiu didn't hate these Buddhist and Taoist sermons? After seeing this edict to revoke Buddhist and Taoist temples, he couldn't help but exclaimed to be happy.
To be continued...
