Chapter 725: The Two Wus Destroyed Buddhism, and the Zhenguan Era Was a Prosperous Era!

Among the many gods, Xiao is undoubtedly the one with the most abundant harvest.

Following closely behind were the Queen Mother of the West, Sanqing and other respected beings.

As for the Five Emperors, Four Emperors and others, although they have gained a lot, they are still slightly inferior to the former.

The rest of the priests, large and small, who can make a decisive decision and take action quickly will more or less achieve considerable gains.

The spiritual essence that was originally dispersed in the bodies of all the destined people in the human world was like countless trickling streams, flowing along the divine net, gathering continuously, and finally returned to the high heavenly palace.

These extremely precious spiritual essences are accurately transmitted to each priest through their respective karma positions.

For a time, the gods who had received massive amounts of spiritual energy were all immersed in a short but extremely fanatical atmosphere of celebration.

And with the passing of this year, the system of the Divine Art has been completely imprinted into every inch of space and every detail in the sky and the earth.

Nowadays, the art of inviting gods has evolved into a surging torrent of the times, which is unstoppable!

Either choose to blend in and follow the trend;

Or they can only be crushed mercilessly and disappear without a trace.

…

…

The living beings in the lower realm finally ushered in several wise and wise leaders who lived long lives because the gods no longer bet on it.

After that, after several generations of unremitting efforts and changes in power, Yang Jian replaced the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the throne of emperor, named the country "Sui", was known as Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty in history, and set the capital in Daxing City.

Immediately afterwards, the Sui army's morale was like a rainbow, and they marched south, annihilating the Chen Dynasty in one fell swoop and successfully achieving the unification of China.

During the reign of Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he worked hard and worked hard to create an unprecedented prosperity. Historically, it was called the "Government of the Founding Emperor".

However, the good times did not last long. After Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he resolutely decided to move the capital to Luoyang.

At the same time, he continued to expand his territory outwards, pushing the country's borders all the way to Qinghai Lake and distant Xinjiang.

Not only that, Emperor Sui Yang was far-sighted and re-opened the once-quiet Silk Road, which made trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions more active again.

The great project of building the North-South Grand Canal has made transportation between the south and the north extremely convenient, and economic exchanges have become increasingly frequent.

At the same time, the southern region successfully conquered Annan, Champa and other places, further expanding the country's territorial scope. As a result, the Sui Dynasty's national power reached an unprecedented peak period.

However, just when the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, a series of internal and external measures excessively consumed the national power.

Internally, large-scale engineering construction and heavy taxes and labor have made the people miserable;

Externally, frequent military operations have led to huge military expenditures.

These factors gradually accumulated and eventually intensified social conflicts. The Sui Dynasty began to turn from prosperity to decline, and triggered a massive civil uprising in the late Sui Dynasty.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yu Wenhuaji and other ambitious people launched a mutiny outside and brutally killed Emperor Sui Yang.

Since then, warlords from all sides have supported themselves. In order to compete for power and territory, they began to support Yang's descendants as emperors.

First, Li Yuan forced Yang Guang's grandson Yang Youchan to give up the throne and established a new regime named "Tang".

Immediately afterwards, Wang Shichong was not to be outdone. He forced Yang Tong, the grandson of Emperor Yang Guang, to give him the Zen throne and named the country "Zheng".

At this point, the once glorious Sui Dynasty was completely destroyed.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, heroes from all walks of life were eager to emerge and dominate in this troubled world.

Li Yuan, Duke of Tang Dynasty, saw the opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity to raise troops in Jinyang and led the army to fight all the way.

After a long and cruel war, countless life-and-death battles and power struggles, Li Yuan finally defeated the heroes and reunified the world.

However, before Li Yuan had time to enjoy this hard-won victory, a dispute within the family quietly broke out.

The prince Li Jiancheng was the eldest son, and the second son Li Shimin was the general who controlled half of the world. Li Yuan was once unable to be crowned. For the throne, the conflict between the two became more and more acute. The two fought overtly and secretly, refusing to give in to each other.

Faced with the increasingly fierce fight between his two sons, Li Yuan failed to take effective measures to stop it in time. Instead, he hesitated, causing the situation to continue to deteriorate.

Finally, one thrilling morning, not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanwu Gate Incident occurred that shocked both the government and the public.

Li Shimin set up an ambush at Xuanwu Gate and killed his brother Li Jiancheng, Qi King Li Yuanji and their cronies in one fell swoop, and imprisoned his father Li Yuan.

Later, he used strong methods to force Li Yuan to issue a decree and canonize himself as the crown prince.

Two months later, Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, retired and became the Supreme Emperor. Li Shimin became the emperor, and his reign was Zhenguan.

At this critical moment, Buddhism saw the time when Dongtian God was most relaxed, and carefully planned and launched an insidious conspiracy.

They once again invaded the Central Plains Continent brazenly, thus kicking off the journey to the West. Their purpose was to further seize the faith of the people of the Central Plains Continent.

In fact, before this, Buddhism had taken advantage of the chaos to launch a series of violent religious invasions into the Central Plains.

However, at that time, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Tao, was in power. He took decisive and decisive countermeasures against the invasion of Buddhism - the operation to exterminate Buddhism!

For a time, countless monks were brutally slaughtered, and the ground was dyed red with blood. The heads of the bald monks rolled to the ground. The tragedy was unbearable to look at.

Not only that, because of the support of powerful forces such as the art of inviting gods and the share of spiritual accumulation, even if all the Arhats and Bodhisattvas came out to fight,

But in the end, almost all of them were beaten until they were unable to fight back, and they were severely punished like a lost dog.

After Emperor Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, Buddhism remained honest for a long time.

Although Buddhism suffered a heavy blow in this operation to exterminate Buddhism, Buddhism did not give up lightly and still persisted in trying to preach.

As a result, after finally taking advantage of the decline of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Buddhism rose again not long after.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, also launched a thunderous blow against Buddhism, and beat Buddhism severely again.

In desperation, Buddhism could only flee back to his hometown in the West with his tail between his legs in disgrace, and silently continued to wait for new opportunities.

Since then, Buddhism has learned from the experience and completely changed its original missionary strategy.
