The old monk clasped his hands together and looked at Chen Jingle with a solemn face: "This little Taoist is so murderous. ”

Li Kuang, who was on the dragon chair, suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.

He already recognized who it was.

This monk is none other than the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple in Chang'an City, Master Shi Yuanzhen!

It is rumored that this master of Yuanzhen has profound Buddhism, has realized the profound true meaning of Buddhism, and has long been extraordinary, and the Buddha's light is transparent.

Could it be that he is here for this young Taoist priest?

Despite this, Li Kuang's face was still gloomy and his heart was unhappy.

What kind of place is your palace? The market outside? Come and go when you want, and leave when you want?

There is a Taoist priest on the front foot, and a monk on the back foot, should there be another nun or lama later?

Fortunately, although he was young, he also knew that the two in front of him were not easy to offend, so he calmed his anger for the time being and watched from the wall with peace of mind.

Many ministers in the hall also recognized the identity of the monk, but no one dared to make any changes.

The corners of Chen Jingle's mouth still had a faint (Zhuang) smile (Bi): "What is this master called?"

The old monk Shi Yuanzhen gave eleven salutes: "The small path is polite, and the old man's name is Yuanzhen." ”

"Well, Master Yuan Zhen is polite. Chen Jingle smiled: "I don't know which Buddhist temple the master is practicing?"

Monk Yuanzhen lowered his eyebrows and looked down, and his face was generous and benevolent: "Emperor Meng valued it, and Lao Qu temporarily served as the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple." ”

"Oh?" Chen Jingle was surprised, he didn't expect that he was still the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple, which was interesting.

Daci'en Temple is the Li Tang Dynasty Royal Monastery and the National Translation Institute, which occupies half of the Jinchang Fang, is the most magnificent temple in Chang'an City, and is also the largest temple in the country.

The area of the temple preserved in later generations is only a west pagoda of the current Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and the rest have long been gone.

If I remember correctly, Master Xuanzang returned from obtaining the true scriptures and practiced in the Great Ci'en Temple for a period of time.

Chen Jingle's expression did not change, and he bowed slightly: "It turned out to be the abbot of the Great Ci'en Temple, and the trail was rude." But I want to ask Master Yuanzhen, didn't you Buddha teach you not to meddle in things, except that you Buddha taught you that this thing is related to me?"

The atmosphere changed instantly.

Without waiting for Yuan Zhen to answer, Chen Jingle suddenly lowered his face: "A monk should have the appearance of a monk, the imperial court allows you to freely spread your faith without paying taxes to attract believers, and allows you to forcibly occupy land and build a large scale to loot property, these are all counted, when will it be your turn to meddle in politics?"

The words were loud, as if the true thunder of the Tao resounded in everyone's hearts.

The entire Xuanzheng Hall was silent, and everyone did not dare to breathe.

Since Master Xuanzang returned from obtaining the true scriptures, the power of Buddhism in the East has risen rapidly, like a drizzle, moisturizing things silently, and unconsciously seizing a large part of the cultivation resources of the Daomen, and there is a great tendency to reproduce the "480 Temples of the Southern Dynasty".

Especially during the reign of the empress, in order to suppress the development of Taoism, she deliberately vigorously supported Buddhism, so Buddhism was able to grow rapidly until it was able to compete with Taoism.

Although the emperors of the later Li and Tang dynasties noticed that the situation was wrong and began to suppress Buddhism, it is a pity that Buddhism's means of encircling believers are too clever, and even many high-ranking officials and nobles are Buddhist believers.

If Buddhism is really ready to meddle in Li Tang's politics, I'm afraid things will be in trouble.

Li Kuang's face was ugly.

The old monk Yuanzhen had a solemn face: "The little Taoist chief said with a smile, the old man has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the imperial court, but the monks are merciful, and they can't be killed." His Royal Highness the Duke of Wei, as well as this little Huangmen, are all innocent mortals, so why bother to put them to death?"

"Can't see anyone kill?"

Chen Jingle sneered: "Since you are merciful and can't be killed, then what's the matter with your Buddha's angry-eyed King Kong and the immovable Ming King?"

It's okay not to talk about this, but when it comes to this, Chen Jingle's eyes became more and more cold.

What he hates most is the hypocritical appearance of Buddhism, you do it to mutilate living beings, he does it to subdue demons and eliminate demons, your kindness is to raise tigers for trouble, and his kindness is the virtue of a good life in God.

Now that the two sides have torn their faces, there is no need to be polite.

Yuan Zhen still has that low-eyebrow and pleasing appearance: "King Ming swept away obstacles, and King Kong subdued the four demons, all just to subdue demons and protect the world." ”

"What is a demon?

"If you do evil, you are a demon, and if you do evil, you are a demon. ”

Chen Jingle laughed: "No, those who disobey your rules are demons, and those who ignore the will of gods and Buddhas are demons." ”

Everyone was terrified.

Yuan Zhen's eyes flashed with anger: "Xiaodao Chang is cautious!"

Chen Jingle laughed: "Be cautious and say it carefully, that's my business, the master just takes care of himself, it's not peaceful these years, it's better to stay in the temple to eat fast and pray for the Buddha to bless you." ”

The smile on his face gradually disappeared: "This matter of subduing demons and eliminating demons, you have done it in the Buddha Sect, and I can't do it in the Dao Sect?"

Yuan Zhen was silent for a long time, after all, he didn't dare to make a move with Chen Jingle, folded his hands, and pronounced a Buddha name: "Nan Wu Master Shakyamuni Buddha ......"

Turning and retreating, the figure seemed slow, and then quickly disappeared.

Everyone in the hall stared in shock, and for the first time they saw the strangeness of the master.

Only Chen Jingle pouted quietly: "Just Jin Dan, dare to be presumptuous in front of me?" It really annoys me, no matter which of your Buddha and Bodhisattva disciples, chop it and then talk about it!"

With the departure of the monk, in this Xuanzheng Palace, except for Chen Jingle, everyone else was a little disappointed, and unconsciously relieved.

I was afraid that the two would fight, and I was afraid that the master would not be able to beat this ruthless young Taoist priest, and I was even more afraid that it would hurt them.

Chen Jingle turned to look at Li Kuang, arched his hand and said loudly: "Poor and talented, dare to ask Your Majesty for the position of national teacher, I am willing to do everything I can for Li Tang Jiangshan and revive the former glory of the Tang Dynasty for Your Majesty!"

When Li heard this, he was surprised and delighted.

Naturally, I didn't expect Chen Jingle to make such a request, the Li Tang clan worships the Tao, but the real cultivation power can't be reached, only some low-level monks who are halfway monks, or occasionally have a broken inheritance, and rely on their own talent to break through the path of immortality, even Shi Yuanzhen's golden pill is not as good.

Of course, even if these Taoist priests only practice qi and build foundations, they are also first-class immortal masters in the eyes of mortals.

"Is this true?" Li Kuang's eyes were full of expectation.

Yang Fuguo, who originally shackled him, is dead, and with Chen Jingle's support, then he has every chance to return the political power and military power to his own hands!

With such a piece of cake in front of him, it is strange that Li Guo is not hungry and drooling.

It's just that...... Is this guy really that kind?

And why did he do this?

Many of His Highness's ministers were also surprised and puzzled.

In the face of Li Jing's questioning, Chen Jingle raised his head and said: "The poor Tao is a monk outside the party, and every word is evidenced by the way of heaven, so naturally it cannot be faked. ”

Li was still not at ease, many years of puppet emperor career made him always like to be cautious in doing things, so he asked: "Does the immortal chief have other requirements?"

Chen Jingle thought for a while: "Poor Dao hopes that when he does things for His Majesty, he will not be deliberately blocked by some people, otherwise Poor Dao will not have a good temper and may do something that overreacts." ”

The ministers are speechless, you are called a bad temper? You are purely violent, a peerless murderer!

"Good!"

Li Guo was very excited: "In this case, I will pardon the immortal chief as my Tang Dynasty national teacher, and give the immortal chief the sword of the Son of Heaven, seeing the sword is like seeing me, who dares to stop it, you can cut it first and then play!"

His Royal Highness's ministers were shocked and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak out against it, after all, Yang Fuguo's experience was still in front of him.

Besides, what if a national teacher is in vain, what about him? What about the Son of Heaven Sword? As long as he doesn't get caught hurting his feet!

The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to receive the legacy left by Yang Fuguo, as well as the military power he holds!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Jingle bowed, "In addition, the ministers have discussed that the evil Yang Fu has brought disaster to the country and the people, and he should have his house raided, and his property should be included in the treasury and classified as state-owned for other purposes!"

"That's right!" Li Kuang's eyes lit up, he had long heard that the old thief Yang lived a luxurious life, and he didn't know how much money he had looted over the years, and the treasury was just empty, and his life as an emperor was poorer than that of a minister.

"Raid the house!" Li Kuang was very excited, and found that the newly pardoned national teacher was really more and more in line with his appetite.

Li Guo looked at His Royal Highness's ministers: "What is the opinion of Aiqing?"

How dare the others say a word, they all said in unison: "What the National Teacher said is extremely true, and the ministers have no objections. ”

"Seconded!"

“……”

The ministers don't say it on the surface, but in fact, they are bitter in their hearts.

Li Guo nodded with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to the national teacher to deal with!"

I have to say that power is really fascinating, just for a while, Yang Fuguo's body has not yet cooled down, just because of the existence of the national teacher, the following people dare not speak out against his proposal for the first time.

Li Guo felt more and more that he had made the right choice.

Chen Jingle said again: "The minister receives the order. He also asked the emperor to send a trustworthy group of men and horses to surround the Wei Mansion and prevent the rest of the guilty people from running away with money and property in advance. ”

Li Guo thought for a while: "The national teacher thinks about it, then let ......"

He paused suddenly, and realized that there was not a single person in the Royal Forest Army that he completely trusted.

Sorrowful.

"That's not right!"

Li Kuang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Dingyuan General Li Xun, the national teacher can let him help you!"

After Li Xun is the Li Tang clan, although it is a side branch and is far away, he is still loyal to the Li Tang royal family, and it is a good choice compared to others.

Li Xun ...... Is it?"

Chen Jingle bowed slightly, keeping the name in mind.

At the same time, Li Guo has already asked people to prepare pen and ink, write edicts, and stamp seals, and the position of the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty is worthy of its name.

Chen Jingle only felt a comfortable luck blessing his body, and was suddenly surprised.

"This ...... It seems to be the national fortune of Datang?"

Although the Tang Dynasty has declined at this moment, before its demise, it was still the most powerful country in this land!

Moreover, Li Tang in history did not die from foreign enemies, but also lost in civil strife.

The dictatorship of eunuchs and the division of feudal towns are the main reasons for Li Tang's defeat.

Chen Jingle feels that things are getting more and more interesting.
