Jiajing sat in the carriage, feeling a little dizzy and in a daze.
After watching various magic performances by the Holy Mother Church, I found that they were just like this in comparison.
Those who do not worship their ancestors but still want to prosper in the Ming Dynasty are really trying to get away with it. Nestorianism has been spreading for hundreds of years without any waves. If the people of Notre Dame Church want to make a difference, it is completely a manifestation of their lack of historical experience.
If people who don’t worship ancestors can still rise in the Ming Dynasty in the future, then how different will be the difference between Buddhism and Taoism? Others deserve to be happy. But this is obviously impossible.
Anyway, the other party’s effort was in vain and it didn’t matter. He also offered ten thousand taels of gold obtained through alchemy at the Luotian Dajiao altar. If you don't take advantage of it, you are just a bastard.
Jiajing looked at the back of the carriage which was filled with five large boxes of gold. No matter what deception the people at Notre Dame Church used, he had personally tested it and found that the gold was genuine. Just these 10,000 taels of gold are worth having the Daolu Division officially register and issue ten official ultimatums.
Jiajing even thought for a moment, it would be great if one hundred or ten Western sects came to register every year. In this way, the registration of Guangdao Lusi can be worth the Ministry of Household tax for the next year. Using Taixi's money to support the Ming Dynasty's finances is a waste of money. It's not as hard as sea trade.
Of course, the happiness of gold is short-lived although it is timely.
While riding in the royal chariot, Jiajing asked Huang Jin to look at the gold again and again. After confirming for the third time that the alchemical gold was not a deception and had not changed back, I turned to think of the biggest surprise of the whole afternoon.
The biggest surprise is actually Buddhism.
The people from Longquan Temple actually took out several huge triangular prisms on the spot and demonstrated on the spot what color is emptiness and emptiness is color.
The afternoon sunlight becomes colorful through the triangular prisms. When several triangular prisms are stacked together, they become colorless.
Triangular prisms and transparent colored glaze were Jin Yiwei's business. Jiajing asked Huang Jin about it, and it was only in the evening that he realized that these five large triangular prism Jin Yiwei alone had sold for five thousand taels of silver. I didn’t expect these bald donkeys to be so rich. From now on, each temple will have to sell a large triangular prism. If you don’t buy it, you don’t understand Buddhism and you are unprofessional. There are at least tens of thousands of temples in the entire Ming Dynasty, and this money is a windfall.
The first time I saw this thing, the scene was quite shocking.
Fortunately, Jiajing had actually seen the lights of Shangqing Zifu Xianlei many times before.
I found that things always look yellow and warm under the light of Xian Lei. This feeling disappeared as soon as I walked into normal sunlight.
If you carefully walk under the oil lamps in the palace, you will also feel the different colors of things.
No one has summarized this before. Unexpectedly, it was used by Buddhism to demonstrate that form is emptiness, and emptiness is form.
It’s a pity that Jiajing has little cultivation in Buddhism. He doesn’t understand the definition of “form and emptiness”, so he can’t judge whether this argument is valid. He just thinks the scene is wonderful.
I thought it was just a Taoist sect.Unexpectedly, Lan Daoxing is still a broad-minded person, giving Buddhism a chance to show his face.
"Huang Jin, have you ever read the Buddhist scriptures? How does it say that form is emptiness and emptiness is form?"
Jiajing thought for a while but still didn't understand, so he simply asked Cai Cai. After checking, Huang Jin ran back to the carriage to serve.
"Master, you think too highly of me. I usually recite any sutra, as long as it is effective, I don't care what the meaning is. And most of the time, I just hum in a muddle, and I can't stop reciting it. I don’t know anything, as long as I feel comfortable after reading it.”
Good guy, Huang Jin’s answer completely amused Jiajing.
What a worshiper of God who doesn’t seek any deeper explanations.
Imagining that the eunuchs were already like this, Jiajing simply stopped asking and would ask the civil servants about the situation later.
Let’s talk about Jiajing’s leisurely return to Wanshou Palace alone. The major mages behind him and the officials of Daolu Division were invited by Lan Daoxing to continue a closed-door meeting.
Obviously, the boundaries between the sects must be gradually drawn.
Mainly based on the experience of Buddhism and Taoism, until the end of the mission, the monks looked like Taoist priests, and the Taoist priests looked like monks. Even the sentence "red lotus, white lotus root and green lotus leaf, the three religions are originally one family." All came out.
Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism naturally have many benefits. Buddhism and Taoism, in particular, rely on Confucianism to cling to powerful people and strengthen themselves, which is a tried and true method.
But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Notre Dame Church is also coming to get a piece of the pie. Although the Notre Dame Church now does not require ancestors and is very strict. But who hasn’t come here like this? Is there going to be a family of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and the Four Religions in the future?
In this way, Notre Dame Church originally had no foundation, and this was pure profit. Buddhism is blood loss.
In addition, Buddhism has been able to suppress Taoism for nearly a thousand years, but no one with ambition would think about the merger of all religions. The merger means the day when Taoism will never surpass.
For Daolu Si, although the merger of various religions saves trouble, it loses a lot of supervisory power. Everyone is the same, so how can we implement differentiated supervision? If we offend one family, we will offend all the sects. Obviously, this is unacceptable. What's more, Emperor Jiajing didn't want these sects to work together. Therefore, if we change the division of ownership, we will still have separate divisions. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
