After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 346: The foreign monk can chant sutras and stand firm!
[“Amitabha, is this the Buddhism of the Central Plains? It is really profound and abstruse. I have been listening for a long time but still cannot understand it.”]
[“Of course. I heard that the name of the Central Plains Dynasty is Yu. It is a famous dynasty with open minds. The teachings of the sect are used for the benefit of the people. It is truly a well-known dynasty.”]
[“Where did you hear that?”]
[“This is what the merchants who passed by said. They are also tolerant and open-minded. In short, as long as you preach the gospel in a stable manner, you will be protected.”]
[“Why did these Buddhists come to our place?”]
[“Could it be that they were abandoned by their emperor?”]
[Just as everyone was discussing, a large group of horses came over here, led by the elite cavalry general sent by Chen Huaixin. Because he was a lieutenant and represented the state, he had his own aura and looked down on others.]
[Several other deputy generals followed closely to help maintain order at the scene. ]
[“Did you see that?”]
[“This is the appearance, this is the confidence of the emperor of the great empire.”]
[Continue the topic that was just interrupted. ]
[“The Emperor Dayu did support the spread of Buddhism to the West and provided a lot of help. Unfortunately, we don’t have this blessing.”]
【“Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved, so just be patient.”】
【While people were talking about it, the whole of India had heard that a group of people had come from the Central Plains. They included not only Buddhist believers and leaders, but also the messenger guards he had sent. After seeing their battle array, everyone was shocked.】
【With the end of Master Xinkong’s conference, everything began to develop in another direction. 】
【The number of followers of Central Plains Buddhism in India began to increase dramatically.】
[Not only was I yearning for this special Buddhist principle, but I was also doubting the ancient teachings that had been passed down for so many years.]
【Indian Buddhism before was relatively simple. 】
[Basically, it revolves around the principles of compassion, kindness, and the cycle of cause and effect of reincarnation and nirvana.]
【With the arrival of Master Xinkong, everything has changed. 】
【Buddhism not only has the power to educate the world, but also can reverse some situations and variables that are difficult to control. 】
【Doctrines can win people’s hearts, and sects can give people spiritual strength.】
【Many people can obtain the so-called retribution in this life by relying on these. 】
[Although monks in India have high authority and status, they are ultimately just a group of outsiders.]
【This group of Buddhist followers who came from the Central Plains were quite different.】
【According to Master Xinkong, Buddhism was once prosperous in the country of Yu. 】
【Not only can you participate in politics, but you can also influence the emperor’s career. 】
[Not only can it educate the people, but it can also help the entire sect expand its influence and eliminate the hostility of all living beings]
[This made some monks who already had a lofty desire to save the world begin to yearn for it. ]
【The Central Plains can send people to them to spread the Dharma.】
Why can’t they send someone over to discuss the truth?
[As ideas like these have become more common, different voices have emerged in India.]
【The main idea is that the definition of Buddhism should not be limited to this. 】
[Some high-caste rulers were panicked by this.]
[But they couldn’t think of any other means of restraint.]
[For a moment, he was planning to attack Master Xinkong and the others.]
【There can be only one orthodox sect in this land.】
[All other Buddhist masters from outside are unorthodox. ]
[However, as their desire to take action grew, the situation became clearer.]
[First of all, there are a large number of monks coming from the Central Plains. ]
[If a conflict really breaks out, there will be chaos in the country. ]
[The second is the elite cavalry team that escorted them. They are powerful and well-trained.] [They are even more terrifying than the regular army.]
[Compared to them, the available troops in India are more like a group of scattered soldiers and a mob. ]
【Finally, the influence of Yuguo itself was taken into consideration. 】
[If such a powerful country is really angered, the consequences will be serious. ]
[The ones coming this time are just the escort cavalry, but the next time they come they might be the regular military massacre troops.]
[Those rulers had also heard some legends about Yuguo. ]
【Technology is highly developed.】
[The force is quite strong. ]
【And there has never been a precedent of submission and humiliation. 】
[They even beat the neighboring island country for silver. ]
[In the end, they could only give up their thoughts on the followers brought by Master Xinkong and let things develop on their own.]
[All of this was written in a letter and sent back to Chang’an.]
【Chen Huaixin smiled calmly and closed the envelope.】
[“Pass the order down. All the families of the cavalry sent abroad will be specially taken care of by Jingzhao Prefecture. Their daily food, clothing and other expenses will be reimbursed at the same rate as the families of the highest-ranking military officers.”]
[“All the cavalry officers sent abroad will be promoted three levels and are waiting for my news. When I withdraw my orders and return to the court, I will treat them with state courtesy.”]
[Soon the news spread throughout the country of Yu.]
……
above the hall.
The unconscious Duke Xing has been carried aside, and his issues will be discussed later.
Even if we were to argue with each other, it would be hard to explain…
After all, looking around the world, no one dares to claim that he is a traitor in front of the emperor. He must be thinking that he is not worthy of his own life.
The rest of the people were still paying attention to the deduction scene.
I have to say that Chen Huaixin’s appeasement tactic was really ingenious.
Originally, those cavalry troops that followed the teachings had made great contributions.
The other rewards are not needed for the time being. Chen Huaixin’s idea of helping them stabilize the rear can indeed stabilize the morale of the army.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue standing by suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around and bowed to speak.
“Your Majesty, this is terrible. If the Buddhists in our dynasty are also affected by this deduction, what should we do if we want to separate ourselves from it?”
“Ok?”
Ji Qingluo also thought of this, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
I have been feeling uneasy recently, and the biggest hidden danger has appeared.
They are not like the Taoism that founded the country like Yuguo. The people of the sects in the country are already mottled and messy. If they lose a part of it now, it will be a big loss…
“Immediately pass down the order to count and verify the number of religious members in the country and register them all.”
“Whether it’s the common people accepting incense and offerings, or those who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and never come out.”
“Everything must be done to ensure that they are still within the country.”
The other ministers nodded, and this was the only thing they could do now.
The scenes in the deduced images are really tempting.
If the monks in their own country saw this, they would probably find it difficult to resist the temptation to become famous and have their achievements passed down for thousands of years.
It is said that Buddhism emphasizes abstinence from the three evils of greed, anger, and ignorance. But when the opportunity to promote Buddhism is really presented, how many monks can completely avoid worldly desires?
