It is said that the monks of the Tang Dynasty were all wealthy and wealthy, and they were tax-free.

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't speak, Dao Yue asked again: "I don't know if there is anything about our Buddhist family that has offended the county marquis?" ”

Lee Zheng looked at Lee Tae suspiciously.

Daoyue took out a copy of the White Snake Biography and put it in front of Li Zheng, and said in a low voice: "Lao Wei has searched all the monks in many temples in the Central Plains, and he has not found a person with the name Fahai, but in this book of the county marquis, what Fahai has done is the right way in the world. ”

"But our Buddhism has been abandoned by many people in the world, and we have asked the county marquis to uphold justice for us."

Li Zheng looked at the old monk for another day and said again: "How can I do justice for you?" ”

The debate machine stepped forward and saluted and said: "The things of this world have not been separated from good and evil since ancient times, Fahai's suppression of the white snake is to eliminate harm for the people, and the white snake deserves to bewitch the reader for the sake of harm." ”

Li Zheng stared at the debate machine.

The debate machine noticed Li Zheng's eyes, took a step back and said: "Please also ask the county marquis to revise it, and return my Buddhist reputation to a clean one." ”

Li Zheng said to the debate machine: "Do you have a part to speak here?" ”

The debate machine said: "Why can't the little monk speak, isn't this the truth of the world?" ”

Li Zheng continued: "What if I don't change it? ”

"You!"

Just as the debater was about to say something, Daoyue stepped forward to stop the debater and said again: "County Marquis, I and other Buddhists just hope to return to the world a righteous path, the white snake is a disaster, if the world thinks that Fahai has done something wrong, how can my Buddhism be right?" ”

"You're threatening me? Is it if I don't change. Is it that I am the enemy of your Buddhism? ”

Daoyue reverently recited a Buddha name, "Lao Wei just wants to persuade the county marquis to turn back." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm never going back."

Daoyue continued: "As long as the county marquis repents, the Buddha will forgive the world and the county marquis. ”

Li Zheng stood up and said to the old monk: "Forgiveness is the Buddha's business, what does it have to do with me, if you really want to threaten me, I will gladly send you to see the Buddha." ”

"The county marquis should be obsessed." Daoyue said again.

Seeing the big tiger coming back, Li Zheng said loudly: "Big tiger! Drop-off. ”

Dao Yue said again: "The old man knows that the county marquis is close to the Taoist, but the Buddha has not offended the county marquis, and he also asks the county marquis to think twice." ”

"Big Tiger, get people out of here!" Li Zheng said loudly: "I look at these two people disgustingly. ”

Dahu also pulled out his saber and pointed at the two monks and said, "If you don't leave again, don't blame us for being rude." ”

Li Zheng said to the two monks: "This is the horse circle of the Longwu Army, even if I kill you here, it will be you trespassing on the important place of the Longwu Army." ”

Daoyue took a deep look at Li Zheng and had no choice but to leave with the debate.

After they left, Li Tai explained, "Li Zheng, I really didn't know that they were coming to see you for this. ”

"How could His Royal Highness the King of Wei know them."

Li Tai sat down and said, "I don't know them either, but my aunt introduced them to me. ”

"There are so many of your aunts, which one is it?"

"Who else can it be, there is only one of so many princesses in the court."

"A monk princess?" Li Zheng pondered: "Are you talking about Princess Fangling?" ”

"I've changed my title, it's Princess Yongjia." Li Tai said with emotion: "Actually, it was my aunt who asked them to come to see me, I don't know them at all, no matter how I say it, it's also my aunt, it's hard for me to refuse, if I had known that this was the case, I wouldn't have brought them to see you." ”

Li Zheng said to the big tiger: "If you pass the word, if there are monks who come to my Jingyang realm in the future, they will all be driven out of me." ”

"Whoa!"

The big tiger had to be ordered to leave.

Li Zheng said to Li Tai: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, being a monk is not a good person. ”

Li Tai also said: "Their minds are inevitably too narrow-minded. ”

"His Royal Highness King Wei has too many Taoist monks in this world, which is not a good thing."

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

Li Zheng continued: "Monks believe in Buddhism, they will also persuade others to believe in Buddhism, and the children of Buddhism are not productive, they live on the money that is given to others, and even the incense money does not have to pay taxes, it is a tax haven in the Tang Dynasty." ”

"And there are too many people who believe in Buddhism is not a good thing, more and more people in this world, monks believe in Buddhism in their hearts, they don't believe in the emperor, they pray to the Buddha, but never do serious things, even if someone starves to death, they will only chant the Buddha's name, if the Buddhist scriptures can really govern the world, what do you want the emperor to do."

Li Tai's face also began to tense, thinking about Li Zheng's words.

"Never give up the hard-working, hard-working and simple nature of our Central Plains people, and when all the people in the world believe in Buddhism, the world will be over."

After Li Tai returned to Chang'an, he kept thinking about Li Zheng's words in his heart, and when everyone in the world believed in Buddhism, the world would be over.

Li Tai's heart wavered and he still wrote a recital, which was sent to the palace overnight.

Li Shimin, who was reviewing the recitals in the Ganlu Palace, was a little curious when he saw the recitals sent by Li Tai at night.

After reviewing the recitals from various places, Li Shimin looked at the words in Li Tai's recitals, abolished Buddhist temples, and controlled the number of monks.

Li Shimin read this piece over and over again.

I finally understood the meaning of Li Tai's music.

Indeed, as Li Tai said, the monks do not produce, they rarely cultivate, and the incense money has nothing to do with the taxes of the DPRK and China.

What makes Li Shimin the most taboo is Li Tai's sentence in the recital, believing in Buddhism but not in the Son of Heaven.

This sentence reached Li Shimin's heart.

If all the people in the world believe in Buddhism, what does the world have to do with the emperor?

From the bottom of his heart, Li Shimin is not a person who believes in Buddhism.

"Wang Ding."

"The old slave is here."

Li Shimin put down Li Tai's recital and said: "You go and check, how many temples and monks there are in Chang'an now." ”

"Whoa."

Li Shimin continued: "Let Yongjia return to the world, don't let her be in the temple." ”

After dawn, the political machine of the Tang Dynasty began to operate, and the Dali Temple sent people to immediately investigate the temples around Chang'an.

Daoyue saw many officers and soldiers walking into the Dali Temple, so he asked an official of the Dali Temple, "Why did the donor come to check the temple?" ”

The official of Dali Temple looked at the old monk and said, "What? When did you start to check your temple and need your permission? ”

The debate machine watched this group of officials rummaging around in the temple, and whispered to Daoyue: "Presumably this must have something to do with Li Zheng, he wants to take revenge." ”

Daoyue still recited the Buddha's name, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

Princess Yongjia was returned to the world by Li Shimin's will and returned to the palace.

Li Shimin didn't see him, and Princess Yongjia also knew that Li Shimin didn't want to see her, so she went to the Wude Hall after meeting Empress Changsun.
