In previous lives, similar situations also occurred due to the excessive prosperity of Buddhism.
The temple has accumulated a large amount of land and does not need to pay taxes on it.
When ordinary people can no longer live their lives, they become hesangs.
The temple, which was supposed to be a pure land, completely changed its atmosphere, harboring filth and evil. All kinds of criminals were mixed in, and the court could not recruit soldiers.
This led to four large-scale campaigns to exterminate Buddhism in history, referred to as the Three Martial Arts and One Sect.
The situation in Dali is similar to this.
No! To be sure, it's worse than that.
After all, in the history of previous lives, although there were many monks and they left poems such as "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples in the Southern Dynasties", at least the court hall was still clean and had not been infiltrated by monks.
But Dali is different.
Dali has been completely infiltrated by monks. The Dali Imperial Master has formed a huge force in the court, and there are countless believers in Dali. Under such a situation, if the land occupied by the temple is forcibly taken back and the monks are forced to return to secular life, it will inevitably It will shake the foundation of the country.
The reason why Duan Zhenglong became a monk was most likely because he wanted to start from the inside and disintegrate it from the inside.
It is easy for the outside world to cause a huge backlash, and if something goes wrong, it may cause immeasurable consequences.
Duan Weifeng's face turned livid at this time.
He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.
He asked: "What will father do? Is this dangerous?"
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "It depends on how strong the forces behind them are. As for the danger..."
The talented man glanced at Duan Weifeng and asked, "What do you think will happen if you fail? What will happen if you succeed?"
Duan Weifeng was startled for a moment, thought for a while and said: "If you fail, you will be shattered to pieces, and even a monk will not be worthy. If you succeed..."
He originally thought that if he succeeded, everything would be over.
But after thinking about it, there was no way out.
Lin Bai said for him: "If he succeeds, as a monk of Long Temple, the monks in Dali will not let him go, so for your father, this is a road of no return, and it is destined to not have good results. .”
"Probably because His Majesty Dali is not going to live long, he has joined forces with your father to pave the way for Dali's future and solve the most important problem of Dali Buddhism."
Duan Weifeng said: "If this is the case, why would His Highness target the Zhenbei Palace? My father is paving the way for him."
Lin Bai said: "If the Zhenbei Palace does not fall, how can your father become a monk?"
"And it's not necessarily the case that Prince Dali knows about this matter. It's probably just your father and His Highness Dali who are planning it. However, His Majesty Dali is seriously ill, so I'm afraid your father is the only one who actually carries it out."
Duan Weifeng turned pale, and then looked straight at Lin Bai.
"If even Prince Dali doesn't know, then how do you know? Just based on these inferences?"
His eyes were filled with wonder
Lin Bai smiled and thought: It's not all like the costume TV series.
The lessons learned from the Three Martial Arts and One Sect are there. As far as the current situation in Dali is concerned, Buddhist culture has long been over-prosperous, and any wiser monarch should have controlled it long ago.
How could it be like now, when a dignified King of Zhenbei became a monk in person?
Duan Weifeng was silent for a long time, seeming to be thinking about Lin Bai's words.
After a while, he suddenly grinned, "Brother-in-law, since you see so clearly, there must be a way, right? Help father."
Lin Bai:......
What is a brother-in-law? Damn it, your face changed too quickly, right?
The great talent's eyes were twitching wildly.
Duan Weifeng, however, seemed to have given up his life and said: "My father has betrothed Rongrong to you, and you will be Rongrong's husband. I am the uncle of Zhenbei Palace. My father is also your father. You can't ignore it."
"That day at Long Temple, you deliberately offered help, which means you don't want anything to happen to your father, right? For Rongrong's sake, you must help your father."
"You, what should we do, brother, I will listen to you."
Lin Bai:......
Good guy!
The great talent called him "good guy, can we have some face?"
Didn't you just want to settle a score with me?
Duan Weifeng had long forgotten about settling scores. He finally figured out why his mother and concubine recognized this son so much. He was not from Dali at all. He just walked around Dali and figured out the situation in Dali. .
Even things that many people don't know are clear to the other person after just one look.
The most important point is that if there is one person who can help his father in this situation, he believes it must be the other person.
What's more, my father has already done this, my mother and concubine have also approved it, and my sister is even more determined.
That's still a tangle of wool.
"Brother-in-law, don't think that my father betrothed Rongrong to you because he wanted to use your strength to keep Rongrong and my eldest brother. No, ever since Rongrong came back from the southwest, she has never forgotten you and often mentioned your kindness. , as soon as I say something bad about you, this girl will jump out."
"You are a good person. Not only did you prepare delicious food for her, but you also protected her. During the battle, you did not kill everyone and let my father save others. You are a gentleman."
"My father knew that Rongrong loved you, so he betrothed Rongrong to you. By the way, you can also protect her. My father loves Rongrong the most and will never use her in exchange for benefits."
Duan Weifeng kept chattering.
Anyway, his attitude has completely changed now, and no one knows whether it is true or false.
Lin Bai's mouth twitched violently.
really! Once a person becomes shameless, nothing can stop him.
"Stop it, it's useless for you to do this. There's nothing I can do about it."
Duan Weifeng said: "Since you know so well, how could you be helpless?"
He obviously didn't believe it.
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "Because the situation in Dali has reached a hopeless point, it requires your father to become a monk. Do you know what it means? It means that His Majesty Dali's order is probably already uncomfortable. At this point, any effort is in vain.”
"I believe your father will discover this soon. Perhaps, he may have already discovered it."
Duan Weifeng was startled for a moment, "Have you discovered it? What should we do? If you think so, isn't this problem unsolvable?"
Lin Bai said: "Of course not. In troubled times, heavy codes are used. At this point, there is only one word left to correct."
Duan Weifeng asked urgently: "What word?"
Lin Bai replied: "Kill!"
Duan Weifeng's pupils shrank slightly.
Lin Bai continued: "It's already like this. No matter whether you start from the inside or outside, it's all in vain. You can only tear it down and start over. If you don't destroy it, you can't establish it. What's more, His Majesty Dali is seriously ill, and your father has no time to deal with this matter slowly. In the end The only possibility is to kill."
"Perhaps all of this is preparing for the killing and asking you to go to the southwest. On the one hand, it is to paralyze the line of Dali's national masters, and on the other hand, it is also to deal with the aftermath, because once he does this, he will be a Buddhist sinner, and you are his My daughter, of course, is inseparable and will no longer have a foothold in Dali."
"You know, if he becomes a monk, he will admit to collaborating with the enemy and treason. He has already let go of it."
