Chapter 163 This Is My Country, No One Else Is Allowed To Touch It!
Lin Beifan's complexion changed: "Master Three Idiots, be careful what you say! You say that all living beings here are suffering, are you mocking my stupidity, that's why the people are suffering, and the people are struggling to survive?"
The old monk was shocked: "Your Majesty, the poor monk didn't mean that! What the poor monk meant was that the world is a great sea of suffering, and all living beings are struggling and perishing in the sea of suffering. If there is no suffering, there will be suffering! Only by learning the Buddha and worshiping the Buddha, have the Buddha in your heart, Only then can we overcome the sea of suffering, reach the other shore, and gain great freedom and liberation!"
Lin Beifan's face softened slightly: "Master, for the sake of friendship between you and me, I don't care about your faults! Since you want to spread Buddhism in my country, now I will ask you a question, what is a Buddha? "
The old monk clasped his hands together immediately: "Buddha is the belief in the heart, the firm belief in the heart! When you are lost, he is the guiding light! When it is cold, he is the warm breeze in spring! When you are hungry, he is the lifesaver." Bread! He is the fountain of life when the body is weak..."
"In a nutshell: Buddha is love, Buddha is benevolence, Buddha is a collection of all good things, and the embodiment of goodness!"
"Amitabha!"
Lin Beifan nodded. He is worthy of being an eminent Buddhist monk who explained the Buddha in an easy-to-understand and impeccable way.
It is much better than those god sticks who talk about Buddha and regard Buddha as a god.
"I'll ask you again, how to pray to Buddha?"
The old monk immediately replied: "On weekdays, worship the Buddha devoutly, regard the Buddha as your belief in your heart, use the Buddha's thought to guide yourself, do good deeds, accumulate virtue, help the world and save people, the Buddha will bless you! Amitabha!"
"What can I get from praying to Buddha?" Lin Beifan asked again.
"Praying to the Buddha can help people get rid of the suffering of samsara and go to the Western Paradise! There, there will be no hunger and poverty, no disease and cold, no life and death and samsara, and everyone can get great peace, freedom, and happiness! "
The old monk smiled, as if he had seen the Western Paradise.
"I want to get rid of reincarnation now and go to the Western Paradise to enjoy it. Can I do it?"
The old monk quickly said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it in this life, you can only go to the next life! The world is a great sea of suffering, and people are struggling and sinking in it. Therefore, only by getting rid of the mortal body, seeing the nature with a clear mind, and seeking the true Buddha, can we get the truth." Have a great time!”
"Why can you only ask for the next life, but not this life?" Lin Beifan asked with a smile: "Is it because you can't do it, or are you just fooling people?"
The old monk was a little displeased: "Your Majesty, monks don't tell lies, how can this be fooling around?"
Lin Beifan asked back: "Okay! Since you said that those who believe in the Buddha, worship the Buddha, and do good deeds will be able to get rid of the suffering of reincarnation in the next life and enjoy a free and easy life...how do you prove that those who sincerely worship the Buddha, do good deeds and accumulate virtue?" People, live a happy life in the next life?"
"Ah, this..." The old monk was speechless.
"Can you invite those people over and talk to me face to face?"
"Poor monk..." The old monk was sweating.
"Or, can you invite the Buddha here to confront me face to face, can you?"
"How is this possible?" The old monk was shocked.
Lin Beifan said with a smile: "Why not? You know, seeing is believing, hearing is believing, practice will reveal the truth! Otherwise, all the words you say are false and completely unbelievable! This is the truth that every child knows!"
"Master Three Idiots, as long as you can invite the Buddha, or those reincarnated people, I don't say anything, the whole country supports Buddhism, you can let me shave my hair and go home!
The old monk was silent and didn't know how to answer.
Lin Beifan sat down leisurely: "So, you can't prove whether there is an afterlife, whether there is a Buddha, how can you make me believe in your Buddha? So, Master Three Idiots, let's be more honest!"
"Your Majesty, what is your opinion on Buddhism..." the old monk asked tentatively.
"Master Three Idiots, let me tell you directly. I don't believe in Buddhism, and I don't allow people in my country to believe in Buddhism! If there is a Buddha, it can only be me! So, please go back!" Lin Beifan waved his hand.
Master Three Idiots left very disappointed.
Concubine Song Yu came after learning about this, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you really don't support the sect!"
Lin Beifan nodded and said: "Although what Master Three Idiots is talking about is preaching, but Buddhism is also a part of the Jianghu forces. If they gain a foothold here, it will erode my interests, so naturally I don't allow them to preach here!"
Concubine Song Yu nodded, she knew about this before, so she was not surprised.
"If Buddhism has nothing to do with Jianghu, but a pure sect, would you still support it, Your Majesty?"
Lin Beifan shook his head: "Still not!"
"Why?" Concubine Song Yu didn't understand.
"Because Buddhism pays attention to karma and retribution. If you practice suffering in this life, you will gain blessings in the next life. It tells us that no matter how difficult this life is, we must be content with the status quo, endure it, and don't change it! In this way, we will get blessings in the next life!"
"In my eyes, this is a very negative attitude towards things! If everyone has such an idea and is content with the status quo and does not seek change, then society will not develop, and the country will not develop!"
"I don't need a stagnant country, but a thriving country full of blooming flowers! Buddhist thoughts will only bind my Great Summer, which is very undesirable!" Lin Beifan said sonorously.
Song Yufei nodded in agreement.
"Also, Buddha can be very pure, but can people really do it?"
Lin Beifan sneered: "The management of Buddhism is a group of people. People have emotions and desires, and they have their own selfish desires, so they will fight for power and profit, and fight fiercely! What's more terrible is that they will use the name of Buddha to steal and plunder! "
"In ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, I don't know how many cases have proved that when such a great cause falls into the hands of villains, it will become a personal tool! I don't know how many scum have appeared in Buddhism, and you must know it!"
"One piece of shit is enough to ruin a whole pot of porridge! Therefore, I will never give them a chance to develop!"
"Your Majesty, since you don't like Buddhism, what about Daoism? What do you think about Daoism?" After asking this sentence, Concubine Song Yu's face turned serious.
In my heart, there was still a trace of tension.
"I don't like Daoism very much either!" Lin Beifan shook his head.
"Your Majesty, why is this?" Song Yufei asked.
"Because Taoism emphasizes being quiet and doing nothing, following the way of heaven, and pursuing the way of heaven. This is also a very negative attitude towards dealing with things!" Lin Beifan said loudly: "I don't need to be negative, I need to be vigorous, I need to work hard, I need people to conquer the sky, I need We need to make great strides and go further!"
Concubine Song Yu was in a hurry: "The Daoist sect actually has a positive side, for example, they run around for the people of the world and elect a wise master! Since then, the common people have had a good life!"
"That's the most ridiculous thing!"
Lin Beifan laughed loudly and said, "Do you think what they are doing now is in line with their morality? Do you think it's ridiculous that people who are asking for immortals are still concerned about the secular world and the well-being of the people?"
"This..." Song Yufei looked ashamed.
"So in the final analysis, they are just fighting for power and profit for themselves and for the development of the Taoist sect. They are no different from those bald donkeys in the Buddhist sect!"
Concubine Song Yu had nothing to say, feeling that Lin Beifan was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai, but she had no evidence.
"They still want to choose the master for the world, do they have the ability?"
Lin Beifan was very disdainful: "Isn't it true that I underestimated them? A group of high-ranking people who don't eat whole grains and miscellaneous grains can clearly distinguish who is the wise master and who is the foolish king? In the end, it's not about the benefits? Whoever gives more is the one." Ming Lord! Whoever gives less is a fool, don’t you think?”
Song Yufei didn't know how to answer, because she was going through all this now.
In her eyes, Lin Beifan is a wise gentleman, and she wants to support Lin Beifan, but what Lin Beifan has done is not in line with the interests of the Taoist sect, and may even harm the interests of the Taoist sect.
Even if the other party is really a once-in-a-lifetime sage, the Taoist sect still won't support him.
"Miss Yufei, do you know how the real master is selected?" Lin Beifan asked.
"How was it selected, please tell your Majesty!" Concubine Song Yu asked curiously.
"It's not elected by aristocratic families, not by martial arts sects, let alone by the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but by the common people. They will vote with their feet!"
Lin Beifan smiled slightly: "As long as you do well, the people will naturally come to your country, be your people, and serve you! If you do not do well, the people will naturally leave you!"
"So, to determine whether a king is a wise king, you only need to look at the population of his country! If the population of his people continues to increase, then even if he is not a wise king, he is still a qualified emperor! If the population of his people continues to decrease Yes, then he is not a foolish king, but also a mediocre lord!"
Concubine Song Yu nodded approvingly: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true!"
She visited hundreds of countries and discovered this truth.
A good country will develop better and better.
A bad country will grow longer and longer.
Polarization is serious!
In essence, it is still because of the common people.
Which country the people support and where they want to live will get better and better, and vice versa.
No matter how many resources you have, no matter how strong your army is, it will be useless if the people do not support you.
Isn't this the case in Daxia now?
The population of the people continued to increase.
In just two years, it has increased by nearly 20 million, which is terrifying!
Most of the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment.
However, Lin Beifan is still called a fool.
Because what he did did not conform to the interests of the aristocrats of the aristocratic family, nor the interests of the sects in Jianghu!
And these forces often hold the right to speak in the world.
Concubine Song Yu sighed deeply, and asked: "Your Majesty, since we talked about Buddhism and Taoism, let's talk about the Demon Gate now! What do you think about the Demon Gate?"
"Momen pays attention to acting according to one's will, advocating self, and chasing freedom!"
"To be honest, such teachings are very in line with human nature, aggressive, and have great endogenous motivation!"
"But what they did was too extreme. They became selfish, disregarded the law and morality, easily caused wars and disputes, and led to the instability of the country. That's why they were disliked by the ruling people and suppressed by Buddhism and Taoism together!"
"You know, your freedom to swing your fist should end at the tip of my nose! Otherwise, you can hit me, and I can hit you too. The world will never be peaceful!"
"If they don't make changes, they will never have a chance to grow!"
"Generally speaking, these three sects have their own shortcomings and advantages, and I don't like them very much!"
Concubine Song Yu asked: "Your Majesty, since you don't like Buddhism and Taoism, and you have a lot of opinions on the magic school, what exactly do you believe in?"
Lin Beifan clenched his fists: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I don't believe in others, I only believe in the strength in my hands! Only the strength in the palm of my hand is my own!"
Seeing Lin Beifan's confident look, Concubine Song Yu was in a daze!
Although he has the appearance of a wise king, he is an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken.
What is it that supports his self-confidence?
Why does it always feel like he can do what he says?
"By the way, Concubine Yu! I see other
People in the Jianghu respect you quite a lot, what is your identity? What is your origin and background?" Lin Beifan asked suddenly.
"`"Your Majesty, up to now, the daughter of the people will not hide it from you!"
Concubine Song Yu clasped her hands and said: "Minnv is actually the heir of the Shangqing Taoist Academy, and also the Taoist chosen by the Taoist sect!"
Lin Beifan was startled, the other party's background was really extraordinary.
Shangqing Taoist Academy, among the Taoist sects, belongs to the relatively top-ranking Taoist sect. Although there are not many people, there are many masters in the sect, and their strength is very strong.
Concubine Song Yu, as the heir of the Shangqing Daoist Academy, was born with a golden spoon in her mouth.
If there is no accident, at least he will be a grandmaster in the future.
Moreover, she is not only the heir of the Shangqing Taoist Academy, but also the Taoist of the entire Taoist sect, equivalent to the leader of the younger generation of the Taoist sect, so her status is even more honorable!
Among the various sects of the Taoist sect, they all have the rights of quite elders, and their influence is very huge.
Compared with the prince of the imperial dynasty, it is not too much.
She became the heir of the Shangqing Taoist Academy at a young age, and she is also the Taoist girl Yugu of the entire Taoist school, she is really amazing!" Lin Beifan gave a thumbs up.
"Your Majesty's reputation is too high!" Concubine Song Yu was a little embarrassed: "Actually, the reason why the daughter of the people can sit in that position is all because of the love of the elders in the family, which is far behind you, Your Majesty.
up!"
He raised his head, looked at Lin Beifan and said with admiration: "Your Majesty, since you came to the throne, you have worked hard to govern the country, so that tens of millions of people have enough food, warm clothes, and good housing!
A small country that could be destroyed at any time has developed into a superpower with a population of 20 million, catching up with the dynasty!"
"Your talents and abilities are comparable to those of the ancient sages!"
Lin Beifan said with a smile: "Miss Yufei loves you! We are just in different fields, we cannot directly compare, there is no distinction between superior and inferior! You are excellent, and I am equally excellent.
Is it all right?"
The two laughed.
"Your Majesty, now that you know the identity of Minnv, do you regret what you just said?"
Concubine Song Yu asked mischievously: "As long as you bow your head a little and change your previous extreme practices, Minnv is willing to persuade the entire Taoist sect to help you with all your strength! Don't say
Create a dynasty, and the dynasty has a chance!"
It sounded like a joke, but Song Yufei's face was a little more serious.
But Lin Beifan refused without hesitation: "No need, I still stick to my position (Zhao's Zhao)! Even without the help of Daomen, my Great Xia will still develop
Great, and getting stronger!"
Lin Beifan really doesn't need the help of Daomen.
Because the help from Taoism is really limited to him.
The so-called help of Daomen is nothing more than providing some masters and some resources for development.
For masters, Lin Beifan is indeed lacking, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't have one.
Because relying on the ability of the empire sand table, he can accurately strike all the strong in the country.
He alone is worth thousands of masters!
As for development resources....
He has a lot of resources now. The ground is full of food, and the ground is full of minerals. Where does he need others to provide resources?
That being the case, why let someone else get involved and share his stuff?
Concubine Song Yu was anxious: "Your Majesty, please think about it again..."
"Don't think about it!" Lin Beifan said decisively: "Because I know very well that what I get is bound to be rewarded, and I don't get rewarded if I don't get it! If I accept the help of Taoism, in the future he will
If you put forward the conditions, can I still shoot it?"
"This..." Song Yufei was speechless.
"This is my country, and I don't allow others to get involved, so there is no need to mention this matter again!" Lin Beifan's tone was sonorous, beyond doubt.
Although she was rejected again, Concubine Song Yu was very depressed and sad.
However, she admired Lin Beifan even more!
Because, he can consistently stick to his principles, no matter what threats and temptations he faces, he will not waver!
This is a very rare and valuable quality, a kind of integrity!
Song Yufei left disappointed.
All the martial arts figures also left, and Daxia returned to calm.
But in the Snow Country next door, a major event happened.
In the calm capital city, there was a sudden loud laughter.
"I broke through! I finally broke through! Haha..."
The sound quickly spread throughout the city, shocking the birds and frightening the beasts!
Everyone felt eardrums hurt when they heard the sound.
"What's that sound? It hurts!"
"My ears can't stand it!"
