But that was the establishment of Taoism, which has been weakened by previous emperors and is much less threatening than before Buddhism.
Hui Ji has no doubt that once the influence of Buddhism declines, an unlucky one must be that he is now very favored by Taoism.
"According to you, the’ order to destroy Buddhism’ was five years ago?"
Keenly aware that things may not be the same as they thought, Red Fox was puzzled and asked.
"The difficulty of law is that it is difficult to destroy Buddha by law, and it is not the same as destroying Buddha."
Deep-eyed gaze in front of Hui Ji, this moment reminds me of the situation of people’s depression and people’s livelihood chaos when I left He ‘an Temple.
Just a "legal difficulty" made several ordinary people hungry, while the displaced rich and powerful gentry used it to amass wealth and restrain their land.
Hui Ji can hardly imagine that once this "order to destroy Buddhism" reaches the local level, it will set off waves.
Long-standing ills can never be changed by a single order or a single policy.
It takes years of steering and revision to complete the innovation.
Without considerable determination and understanding, this innovative practice of trying to get rid of the old by just one decree will have more serious consequences.
"Once the’ order to destroy Buddhism’ is broadcast, not only will all Buddhist temples and statues be destroyed, but even Buddhist monks will have to be forced to return to the secular."
Hearing this, even if you have a superficial understanding of human beings, Red Fox understands the seriousness of this incident.
If that "legal difficulty" was originally meant to weaken the influence of the Buddhist country
Then the suspicion of "destroying Buddha" now is to completely cut off this belief from the root.
"Your emperor is crazy? Can this kind of thing be done recklessly? ！”
If we simply weaken the number of monks and strictly control the number of native monks, Red Fox may also understand that too much Buddhism has affected the stability of secular emperors.
However, it is impossible to understand the Chinese emperor simply by forcing monks to return to secularism and destroying Buddha statues in Buddhist temples.
This is the land of hope that Buddhist beliefs and culture will disappear completely.
The key point is that this "order to destroy Buddhism" is equivalent to giving local rich and powerful gentry an official amulet so that they can brazenly occupy the land originally occupied by Buddhist temples.
Will these reclaimed land be redistributed to local refugees?
Can these land taxes be reclaimed to the state treasury by today’s saints as expected?
Then it’s an unknown number
At the very least, Hui Ji is not optimistic about this simple and rude practice, and feels that it is likely to lead to a new round of "buffer region chaos"

When Pei Wende returned to Tongqing Temple, he learned about the "order to destroy Buddhism" from Hui Ji.
"order to destroy Buddhism?"
Some Meng forced to look at Hui Ji Pei Wende with a serious expression, but at the moment he couldn’t tell whether the other party was joking with him or not.
In Pei Wende’s impression, it seems that none of the rulers who dare to do such "destroying people’s beliefs" have a good chance.
Even China, a people who don’t believe in ghosts and gods, or a utilitarian people who believe in ghosts and gods, is an extremely exaggerated thing.
[A case of destroying Buddha in Sanwu? 】
Pei Wende suddenly remembered some lessons and events he had seen in his previous life.
In the 21st century, where Pei Wende lived in his previous life, he collectively referred to the four large-scale Buddhist extermination movements in China history as "a Buddhist extermination event in Sanwu".
Emperor Taizu of the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed Buddha, Emperor Wudi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddha, and Tang Wuzong destroyed Buddha …
Because these people, posthumous title or the temple name, all bear the word Wu, and at the same time suppress the development of Buddhism, later scholars will collectively refer to it as "three martial arts to destroy Buddhism"
Add to this the incident of destroying Buddha in Zhou Shizong, which became the famous "Three Martial Arts and One Destroying Buddha" in history.
[Originally, is this the post-Mannan Tang Wuzong period in which I am now living? 】
It was not until this time that Pei Wende had a general impression of his current Tang Dynasty.
After all, although Pei Wende knew through some details that he was now in the late period of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty also knew that the Tang Dynasty had turned from prosperity to decline in this era.
But he is not very clear about what happened after the Anshi Rebellion and which emperors succeeded him.
[It’s a pity that I’m not the protagonist in those history …]
[I’m not going to hug the future emperor’s thigh. It’s meaningless to know these detailed ages]
Regret shook his head, Pei Wende is now bent on practicing and has no interest in what happened in the court.
"Speaking of this, I seem to have to thank my cheap sister."
"If it weren’t for her help us register the government before, we would have really become the goal of’ destroying the Buddha’s law’."
Chapter 10 Baizhang People
[That’s what I’m worried about …]
Looking at a full face with the words "I’m glad Pei Wende Hui Ji", I blinked.
[It’s a coincidence that the front foot of Tongqing Temple has just been put on record and catalogued, and the back foot of’ Destroying the Dharma Order’ has appeared in Tanzhou …]
Although there are 10 thousand kinds of speculations in my heart, Hui Ji has not chosen to break the image of Pei Hui Pei Wende after all.
Anyway, Pei Hui’s love for Pei Wende is obvious to all.
Maybe all her arrangements were expected, but the ultimate goal is to protect her brother.
"No, how do you know the’ order to destroy Buddhism’?"
At this moment, Pei Wende suddenly woke up and stared at Hui Ji, always feeling that he seemed to have caught each other’s problems.
"You care how I know I’m just waking you up."
Didn’t good the spirit stretched out his hand to play the PeiWen a brain jump hui ji decisively change the subject and said
"You should be careful not to provoke those officials who are unfamiliar."
"Otherwise, even if Master and I took the Dudie monk and your sister registered with Tongqing Temple before, we will inevitably encounter some difficulties."
Hui Ji knew Pei Wende’s character and his "father’s" affection, and the Zen master Lingyou would certainly not tell him that it was difficult to obey, so he told him himself.
"Yeah, I suddenly found that you seem to be getting more and more old-fashioned."
Direct clap Hui Ji hand PeiWenDe is a bit dismissive vomit a way
"I’m not a three-year-old child. Why bother the government?"
Pei Wende is telling the truth. He wants to go to the mountain to see what happened in Zhangjiacun.
What, Hui Ji’s mouth becomes her own initiative to make trouble?
