"The caste system in Tianzhu is very strict, and the oppression of ordinary people has reached the extreme. Although the people are made to obey through religious brainwashing. It seems to stabilize the society, but if there is a new ideological impact, it is likely to lead to chaos in Tianzhu . The poor monk and others discussed it and planned to start from now on. There should be a chance to break the situation."
The monks took the researched plan and asked Zuo Mengeng to make a decision.
While listening, Zuo Mengeng secretly laughed in his heart.
This is also the result he wants.
In a time of great strife, do not give in an inch.
What do you want afterlife?
ten thousand years is too long, fight for now.
As for the change of doctrine, it is actually not that troublesome.
Although there will be some impact and resistance, with the support of the regime, it will definitely be implemented smoothly.
You must know that when Buddhism first came to China, the teachings were not the same.
It wasn't until I gradually got along with the locals that I was accepted.
Since we were able to change in order to adapt to survival, we can naturally change again in order to survive now.
Zuo Mengeng didn't care how to justify his theory.
These eminent monks and virtuous men will definitely have their own methods.
As long as Buddhism can become the pioneer of national development, he will certainly not be stingy in supporting it.
"When you march into Tianzhu, you can study Catholicism carefully. Absorbing its essence will be of great help to your missionary work."
Which religion was the most progressive during the colonial era?
That must be Christianity.
European missionaries were often pioneers in colonization.
Except for South Korea, the Philippines, and a few countries, most places that became Western colonies have basically maintained their inherent religious beliefs.
Therefore, Zuo Menggeng asked the monks to take the essence and discard the dross from other religions and strive to complete the great success.
In the following time, the task of receiving Siti Mojia and other Kandy monks was handed over to these Chinese monks.
Under Zuo Menggeng's instruction, the government provided strong support.
For several months, grand Buddhist meetings were held in many places.
Seeing the gathering of pilgrims and believers, Siti Mojia and other Kangti monks finally felt the power of Chinese Buddhism.
In these Buddhist meetings, monks from the two places had extensive exchanges.
Through such exchanges, the monks in China gained a deeper understanding of the fundamental principles of Buddhism and gradually revised their original plans.
For example, the Buddhist precepts in China are very strict, but when it comes to Tianzhu, these precepts will become an obstacle to development from the bottom.
The Chinese monks were inspired by Tianzhu Buddhism and made certain modifications to the precepts.
For example, the monks re-interpreted the prohibition on meat and fish.
It adopts the most original saying of Sakyamuni.
The precept against eating meat is not different from the precept against killing. The two are different concepts.
The meat-eating precept mentioned by Buddha does not mean not to eat meat.
But I don’t eat the flesh of the creatures that others kill for me when I see it. I don’t eat the flesh of the creatures that I hear others kill for me. I don’t eat the flesh of the creatures that I don’t see or hear, but I suspect that they are killed for me. eat.
Obviously, this change is to abandon the original view of staying safe in this world and pursuing the next life, so as to further mobilize the people at the bottom.
In fact, when Buddhism was first introduced to China, monks did not have any precepts about meat or meat.
Everything stems from Emperor Wu of Liang's "Essence on Abstinence from Drinking and Meat".
Since then, the monks in China have completely stopped eating meat and adopted the tradition of vegetarianism.
Zuo Mengeng saw all the changes in his eyes. While he was happy about it, he couldn't help but look forward to what Tianzhu would become next.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of things were complicated, making the entire top management very busy.
On the contrary, he, the emperor, is the most leisurely one.
He doesn't care about government affairs. Apart from the military, he only needs to deal with things around him.
"You have been with me for the longest time, and I have pretty much taught you all. It's time for you to go out and exercise, and grow to a higher level."
Zuo Mengeng decided to release Fu Xinyuan.
This decision made Fu Xinyuan a little uncomfortable.
Although I have been mentally prepared for it, when this day actually comes, it still makes people feel a little reluctant.
The emperor’s secretary!
Because he could legitimately represent the emperor in communicating with internal and external affairs and handle various affairs, his actual power even exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty's ceremonial supervisor.
However, Fu Xinyuan also knew that Zuo Mengeng's decision would never be changed.
He couldn't object, let alone complain.
Otherwise, it is really asking for death.
“To whom will my work be handed over?”
Zuo Mengeng clapped his hands, and a young man in his twenties strolled in.
He has an ordinary face, his facial features are not prominent, and he is of medium height. If placed among the crowd, it is likely to be forgotten.
"Hello, senior, I am Long Zuguang. Please give me your guidance during the handover."
Another unknown person who appeared from nowhere.
Fu Xinyuan was sure that before today, he had never even heard of this person, not to mention his name.
But thinking about him back then, why didn't he come up like this?
And after today, this young man's name will definitely be remembered by all caring people.
This is also Zuo Menggeng’s tradition of choosing secretaries.
In fact, among those high-level officials, many people dreamed that their children could become Zuo Mengeng's secretary.
As long as you become a close minister of the emperor, the conveniences you can obtain are simply unimaginable.
But Zuo Menggeng always adheres to consistent principles when choosing a secretary.
That means never choosing among high-ranking officials, important ministers, or wealthy families.
His secretary’s origin and identity are a mystery. Even family members cannot be known to the outside world.
Let's just talk about Fu Xinyuan. He has been his secretary for so many years, but no one knows about his family members.
This also made the outside world understand that the emperor Zuo Mengeng would never allow anyone to read his mind.
Only such an emperor can make the people below always be careful and not dare to slack off at all.
