The demolition activities of the Fire Temple in Shichahai started early this morning and were temporarily suspended in the evening.
During the demolition process, some officials were found tied up in Zhenwu Hall. This matter was quickly reported back to the court. Emperor Wanli was sleeping and did not get up.
Sange Lao dealt with the problem and asked what Huo Jun was about, and then got the news. According to the voices heard by those who were arrested, Huo Jun claimed that her past name was Puzhao Bodhisattva.
Puzhao Bodhisattva... Beizhen Fusi immediately started to investigate and found out that she was the second daughter of the Huangtian Sect leader during the reign of Emperor Sejong. Many people are surprised. Puzhao should be quite old, but why is he still so young and beautiful?
Immediately many people lamented that cultivating immortals is still a good thing, but it is a pity that the imperial throne is taken when you are on duty. When you are not on duty, you are just a mortal. If you are deprived of your divine status, you can get out when you should. There are others waiting to take over. .
Mr. Sange immediately asked Quan Shuntian to search for Huangtian believers, and directly marked this once legal religion as an illegal religion, and included it as a branch of the White Lotus Sect... Anyway, no matter what religion you are, you are all It's the White Lotus Sect.
Everything is going crazy in Shuntian. You won’t know if you don’t check it. After checking it, basically one of the three households believes in the Huangtian religion. When this matter was reported to Mr. Sange’s ears, the sun was setting in the west. Mr. Sange They were all feeling emotional. They didn't expect that the emperor's feet would become a cult den.
Don't ask, it's Emperor Jiajing's fault for asking.
Burn all those statues and paintings. If the Ming Dynasty is not burned, there will be no bright future.
But because there were too many people involved, we couldn't arrest them all, and the jails couldn't fit in them, so we could only give them a warning. But the people spit viciously when they saw the officers and soldiers leaving with arrogance and ferocity.
At this point in time, Emperor Wanli also woke up.
Of course, as soon as he woke up, someone told him that a certain minister, Xu Wenbi, suggested that the emperor go to the southern suburbs, northern suburbs, Sheji, Taimiao, Chaori, Moon Altar, and worship the orthodox gods such as Taisui and Dongyue because of the fire and the evil gods. Offer sacrifices and also perform obeisances, so as to comply with the regulations of the past.
However, when Emperor Wanli heard that he was going to sacrifice to the gods again, he suddenly became furious and became furious! But something suddenly occurred to him and he suddenly asked Tian Yidao:
"Have I ever repaired that Dongyue Temple?"
The great eunuch Tian Yi thought for a while, sorted it out carefully, and responded:
"I remember that it must have been three years ago that the Queen Mother, together with the emperor, Prince Lu, the princess, and the nobles of the palaces, donated money for the reconstruction. She also ordered the eunuch Feng Bao, who was in charge of the palace at that time, to choose an honest minister. The person was responsible for supervising the work, and Master Zhang Juzheng inscribed the "Inscription of the Imperial Order to Repair the Dongyue Temple Stele."
"In the thirteenth year, the Queen Mother replaced all the incense burners in the Seventy-Six Divisions. You ordered that a shrine be built for the Queen Mother on the south side of Mount Tai..."
"Twenty years ago, you saw Emperor Dongyue in your dream. You thought it was a gift from the gods and ordered the temple to be reorganized. Side halls were built on the left and right sides of the dormitory hall, a back tower was built behind the hall, and things in front of the temple gate were added. There are two monuments across the street, and the inscriptions on the monuments are 'Hongren Xifu' and 'Lingyue Chongci'..."
"And in Dongyue Temple, there was still Emperor Yingzong. Special mention of the article written... Emperor Sejong also visited Tao Zhongwen several times at that time to organize the main hall, harem, east and west auxiliary halls, corridors, verandas, statues, and sacrificial vessels A new one. Another 'screen wall' was built, which is said to be used to eliminate obscenity."
Ming Yingzong?
Ming Shizong?
Tao Yaodao?
Queen Mother Li?
And I dreamed of Emperor Dongyue?
Emperor Wanli broke out in cold sweat. He had been busy fighting with his ministers in the past few years, and he had forgotten the divine dream he had twenty years ago. Now that he thinks about it, it might not be a divine dream at all!
Damn it, the Ming God of War plus Grandpa Daojun, Tao Zhongwen and Queen Mother Li, plus myself as a master of death, the word death is already written on this head!
Emperor Wanli felt flustered again at this time, and he suddenly jumped up in fright:
"There must be something wrong with this temple. Tian Yi, go quickly. Send people there now to completely demolish it for me!"
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. After what happened to Lord Huo, Emperor Wanli now couldn't find anything right about any temple, let alone Dongyue Temple, which was visited by the idiot Yingzong and Grandpa Daojun.
It is true that I have never built the Dongyue Temple, but what if there is something inside that crawls out through the mouth seals of those two people?
Demolish it, it must be demolished. If these temples are not demolished, the Ming Emperor will be done with it!
But the great eunuch Tian Yi quickly warned:
"I'm afraid this won't work, Your Majesty. The demolition of the Yinsi main store requires a formal ceremony to send off the gods. This is different from the demolition of the Fire Temple! There is no official position in the temple. You have made a country's righteous god, and now the Fire King is dead. It’s gone, it will be dismantled if it is dismantled..."
"But demolishing the Dongyue Temple is impossible! The ministers will object. The temple was built during the Puppet Yuan Dynasty. As of your generation, it has survived for twenty-three dynasties. Emperor Yingzong even mentioned it. The money has been overhauled... How about, as Xu Wenbi requested, you can go and take a trip in a few days?"
Tian Yi meant to demolish it after the sacrifice, that is, before demolishing it, regardless of whether there is anything in Dongyue Temple, inform it that if it is a righteous god, it will be sent away directly. If it is an evil god, it will be captured on the spot.
Emperor Wanli almost slapped his forehead. This temple is really not easy to smash. If it is smashed, there will definitely be trouble. Transferring the Yinsi is a trivial matter, but don't let the "war over the country" end here and start another "battle over the temple." !
"I am really...!"
Although Emperor Wanli was panicking, the talisman had not given any warning this time, which was the only thing that gave him peace of mind.
But still dare not take it lightly.
Emperor Wanli sincerely hoped that there would be no strange things in this Dongyue Temple, so that no big or small bad things would happen to him.
"Tian Yi, I think that the palace construction can be suspended. I have to demolish all the temples in Shuntian. Apart from Dongyue Temple, there are other temples that cannot be demolished or are difficult to demolish. , list them all for me, and I will discuss them with the ministers."
Tian Yi asked: "Temple... Among the temples, Changchun Temple also needs to be demolished? The Queen Mother will not agree."
"this......"
The construction of Changchun Temple started four years ago and is now completed. This temple is mainly managed by Zen Master Shuizhai of Buddhism. Normally Wanli's wife, Queen Mother Li, would go to offer incense.
This temple was really built by Wanli himself, but it was Mrs. Li who paid for it.
"The Buddha statue... there will probably be no problem, right?"
"My servant has heard this saying. It is said that all Buddhas cannot leave the spiritual mountain, with the exception of Maitreya Buddha. Aren't those White Lotus believers all claiming that they are Maitreya Buddha's thugs?"
