I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Yu Fei continued to shake his head and said: "If you don't want to learn, I am learning to fight. What's the point of dancing and writing all day long?"

You don’t learn this, you don’t learn that. Do you think you are Sun Monkey and need to slap your palm three times? Let you climb through the window in the middle of the night?

Liu Sheng was also very annoyed. He had no experience in raising children.

The only baby I brought was Wu Ze, and that was also done by hanging him up and whipping him.

Liu Sheng directly threw Yu Fei to Soraka and practiced according to the method of training sergeants. Liu Sheng felt that Soraka could speak so many dialects, was smart, and was upright and straightforward. Even if Yu Fei followed him, he would not be successful, but at least he would be good as a person.

Accepting Yelu Yanxi and Liu Sheng was just an extra person, and he had a banner to prevent him from being labeled as a rebel.

He just wanted to raise a great emperor. As long as he didn't interfere with him, he would leave him in Datong City and provide him with food and drink. He could go hunting if he wanted to, but he didn't expect that trouble would come soon.

Liu Sheng had only returned to Yingzhou for two days when Emperor Tian Zuo also chased him from Xijing City.

This made Liu Sheng puzzled. Why didn't he feel safe without Emperor Zuo?

Unexpectedly, Yelu Yanxi came to complain to him.

Before leaving, Liu Sheng specifically told Liang Shouyi and Mi Xing that as long as they didn't run away, they would let him do whatever he wanted and not provoke him.

If there is a problem, Mi Xing should report it. What is worthy of the Emperor’s personal visit?

Since Mi Xing didn't say anything, it means that this matter either has something to do with him, or Mi Xing doesn't think it's a big deal. Liu Sheng also figured out Mi Xing's routine. As long as it has something to do with the people around him, he will make it a big deal and make it a trivial matter. Liu Sheng felt more and more that it was right to recruit Lu Yan back from the Song Dynasty.

After careful questioning, I found out that it was Sima He Lushi who was in Yunzhou to check the land, money and food of all temples.

Liu Sheng was stunned. It turned out to be this. No wonder Mi Xing didn't report it...

Unexpectedly, after this guy retired from the [-]th position, he began to devote himself to Buddhism. In a few days, he visited all the major temples in Yunzhou and discussed Buddhism with all the eminent monks!

The first thing Lu Shi and Sima did after arriving in Yunzhou was to check the temple, which happened to him.

He scolded the two of them, but they ignored him at all. Mi Xing pretended not to notice, and Liang Shouyi couldn't find anyone, so he had no choice but to come to Yingzhou to find Liu Sheng.

It has to be said that Yelu Yanxi's Buddhist attainments were indeed very high. He talked a lot to Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng understood every word, but when they were put together, he didn't understand.

Liu Sheng interrupted: "Buddhism is indeed wonderful, wonderful beyond words." It would still be somewhat believable if it were not accompanied by a yawn.

Emperor Tianzuo originally thought that Liu Sheng was immersed in his explanation of Buddhism and couldn't extricate himself. After spending a long time, it turned out that he was playing the piano to a cow.

His expression turned grim, "What do you mean, little general, by fooling me like this?"

To be honest, Liu Sheng didn't want to talk to him, but he turned against him just after forcing someone to abdicate. It was a bit not good, but he had to check the temple's money and food. So many people in Yunzhou were still waiting for their rice to be cooked!

Thinking about everything about Buddhism crazily in his mind, Liu Sheng sat down and said: "I don't understand Buddhism, but listen to what Your Majesty just said, Buddhism pays attention to the afterlife? The sufferings suffered in this life are all karma caused by the previous life? Suffering today, practicing good deeds, You can only achieve perfection in the next life, but this is how it works?"

Yelu Yanxi nodded. Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng still listened a little bit, so it was not a waste of words.

Liu Sheng continued: "In other words, when those great monks met me in this life, wouldn't Your Majesty know that it was they who were suffering? The karma in the previous life was so deep that they still could not clear their karma before eating fast, chanting sutras, and working hard to become a Buddha. I am I want to help them become Buddhas, but if Your Majesty stops me, I will really harm them."

"I am their calamity, and I can become a Buddha only after surviving it."

Yelu Yanxi was suddenly stunned. Although there was no Zen language, it seemed to make sense.

When Emperor Tianzuo didn't react, Liu Sheng continued: "Your Majesty is also the king of a country. Have you ever noticed the difference between Yingzhou and Yunzhou during this journey?"

"Your Majesty has monks and temples in your eyes, but have you ever seen such common people in the world? Why did your Majesty's army suffer repeated defeats against the Jurchens, but Yelu Chun defended Zhongjing?"

The king does not seek the welfare of the people, does not care about the people, but believes in the illusory gods and Buddhas. Today it snows heavily and the Jurchens invade. Where are your majesty's gods and Buddhas?

What did your gods and Buddhas bring to your people? With a pious heart, let the snowstorm freeze to death and let the Jurchens kill. "

In this case, why would your Majesty raise troops to attack the Jurchens? Why not simply wait for death?

Your Majesty is already a noble person, what are you asking for? Do you want to experience the pain of national subjugation in the next life? "

Your Majesty should really take a closer look at why the Khitan is in danger of subjugation. It is not God who wants to destroy the Khitan, nor is it the Jurchens.

But the people, whom Your Majesty has never looked at, want the Khitans to perish. Why? Because they can't survive.

The common people are like this, so how can the soldiers be willing to use their lives? "

If Your Majesty could have allocated some of the property that was given to the temple to the people, even if it was a tax reduction or exemption, we would not be in the situation we are in today.

If the superiors do something good, the subordinates will do the best. Your Majesty is so fond of Buddhism, and the powerful officials in the court followed suit with various policies towards Buddhism.

The people wanted to farm and pay taxes, but they couldn't, so they had to sell themselves into slavery, but the temples occupied a large area of ​​land where they did not have to pay taxes.

Renting and selling to the common people, charging high commissions, Khitan is declining day by day, while Buddhism is getting stronger.

Who do you think the people in the world are criticizing? Buddha? Or Your Majesty?

Is this your Majesty’s country or the Buddha’s country?

Nowadays, millions of people in Yunzhou have lost their homes due to the heavy snow and are crying for food. However, the temples have no money and food, but they do not use it for disaster relief and close the mountains and temples.

Buddhism teaches them good deeds. Is this how they do good deeds?

Why do a group of monks who eat fast and chant sutras want so many yellow and white things? Monks pay attention to the purity of the six roots, and this money and food are like stones in their eyes.

If I use the stones they guard to save the people, why not? Let Your Majesty go all the way to Yingzhou to complain in this severe cold?

If Your Majesty still feels that Liu should not raid the temples and seize their money and food, then Liu will have no choice but to follow the Supreme Emperor's order and let millions of people in Yunzhou starve to death. , Your Majesty, can you withstand it? "

Liu Sheng's words made Yelu Yanxi slump in his chair.

He murmured: "It turns out that I am the people's nightmare."

He had never thought about this before. He always did things based on his own preferences, and no one dared to tell him about this.

After all, he is the emperor, and if he does anything wrong, he will lose his head.

Now that he has become emperor, he hears the truth from Liu Sheng.

It turned out that it was not God who wanted to destroy him, but the people who wanted the Khitan to perish.

He could also see along the way that the people in Yunzhou were as pale as firewood, with sallow complexion and thin skin, dull eyes, nothing to do, and panic all day long.

Almost all the people under his rule were like this, and he mistakenly thought that the people in the world should be like this.
