Fang Jun felt that he was a good person, he could help the old lady cross the road, and he could give up his seat to the old man, but he didn't feel that he could be a loyal servant......

Loyal servants are not so easy to be.

The reason why he was desperately beaten was also to advise His Majesty Li Er not to use the treasury for the construction of the Great Ci'en Temple, in fact, he was still selfish.

"Your Majesty, since the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, all the monarchs of the Holy Ming are restrained and forbearant and cherish the world, while the emperors who tyrannize the country are greedy and vain and do not know how to restrain themselves. There is often only a line between the Holy Lord and the Dusk King, and that is the view of the people of the world, whether they regard the people as children, or as slaves...... Those who regard the people as children naturally have compassion in their hearts and cannot bear to harm sentient beings because of their own selfish desires. Those who regard their subjects as slaves will inevitably impose harsh government and drive the people like pigs and dogs...... At present, the Tang Dynasty is thriving, the people are rich and the treasury is abundant, it is time to vigorously build water conservancy, roads, cities, promote agriculture, medicine and other great undertakings that are conducive to the livelihood of the people, this is a century-old plan, how can it spend a huge amount of money and empty the treasury because of a temple? What's more, the Eastern Crusade is imminent, and His Majesty is mobilizing the people to build the Great Ci'en Temple, although it shows His Majesty's longing for Empress Wende, but it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, which is very unwise. ”

With one mouth, Fang Jun is righteous and dignified.

Why did Wei Zheng dare to ignore the king's majesty and repeated merciless rebukes in front of His Majesty Li Er, but His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he vomited blood and was helpless?

That's because Wei Zheng is certainly tough, but everything occupies the moral high ground.

If you want to defeat Wei Zheng, you can, but at the same time, it means that you are standing on the opposite side of morality and justice, and you will become the villain, how can His Majesty Li Er, who cherishes feathers, be willing to do this?

So he would rather be angry with Wei Zheng and hurt himself than turn his face with Wei Zheng......

The profession of emperor is difficult to say, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, as long as you can control the selfish desires in your heart, you are almost a good emperor. Of course, such as Chongzhen's trembling and hard work, but in the end, it caused Shenzhou Lu to sink the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the only case in the ages, but even if the Ming Dynasty was lost in his hands, few people have poured dirty water on his head for hundreds of years, and he can only sigh when he dies.

Is it true that Fang Jun admonished for such a lofty reason?

Of course not......

He was afraid that His Majesty Li Er would float up now.

Building a temple is nothing, even if it is extravagant and magnificent, and the people will say anything, because in this era of Buddhism and Taoism, this is a serious matter.

It doesn't matter how much it costs to do business, the people are still very tolerant......

But the problem is that because the business of the "Eastern Tang Dynasty" is getting wider and wider, and the profits are getting bigger and bigger, His Majesty Li Er's internal treasury is already very rich, but in this case, the emperor is still unwilling to take out the money in the internal treasury to build the Great Ci'en Temple, but wants to hit the national treasury, what does this mean?

It shows that His Majesty Li Er's internal money has his own plans, what can he do?

It's just like ordinary people, when you have money, you can work hard to make it, and change the flowers with tricks......

This is what Fang Jun does not want to see.

It stands to reason that the emperor's internal money can be spent as much as the emperor wants, who can manage it? Song Huizong probably thinks the same way, I like stones, as the emperor collects the world's strange stones and puts them in the courtyard to watch, what is the matter? But as the so-called upward and downward effect, Cai Jingtou was favored by Emperor Cai and came up with a "Huashi Gang", which can be regarded as digging half of the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, Yi Song Huizong's confusion really doesn't necessarily understand what Cai Jing and others did in private, but who called you the emperor? If you don't carry this pot, who will carry it?

He was afraid that His Majesty Li Er would also be willful if he learned to be rich, and he would be full of complaints about extravagance and extravagance, and the civil ministers and historians would not necessarily dare to talk to His Majesty Li Er, but they would definitely talk about Fang Jun, a "dog leg" who was bent on making money for His Majesty Li Er, if he hadn't made a "Dongda Tang Firm" to make so much money for the emperor, the emperor would not be able to learn badly......

Don't think that His Majesty Li Er is boasted of being a wise man through the ages, and he won't do those brainless things, this extremely confident and conceited person thinks that he is the best in the world, and nothing is out of his control. Just look at the fact that after the failure of the Eastern Crusade in his history, he got a Tianzhu monk to make alchemy in the palace to seek immortals, and you can know that all the problems that emperors are prone to make are actually ......

Once that time comes, it will not work, even if Fang Jun doesn't want to die, he is not Wei Zheng, and the emperor will not be afraid of him.

Only now can we find a way to spend all the money in the emperor's internal treasury, which is the safe way.

When you run out of money, how are you going to play?

You can't play tricks if you want to......

While holding his neck and pretending to be a loyal minister and righteous man risking death to admonish, he gave Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Chunfeng and others a series of looks.

Li Chengqian understood Fang Jun's eyes asking for help, and almost complained to Fang Jun to death in his heart, how can you have the ability to admonish in front of your father, but don't ask for help?

But after all, he was kind to Fang Junqi, so Li Chengqian had to say boldly: "Father, the son thinks that Fang Erlang's words are very reasonable. This temple was built by the sons and daughters to pray for the blessing of the queen mother, if we use our own money, wouldn't it be more sincere? Presumably, the Buddha also knew that his father loved the world and could not bear to increase taxes. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Jun looked sideways slightly.

This highness has a very smart brain, and he actually knows how to save the country......

Li Chunfeng also said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, the so-called good fortune and bad retribution, one report and one report, the father and son of the heavenly family are sincere, diligent and thrifty to save money and food to build the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, which will surely move the heavens to comfort the soul of Empress Wende in the sky." ”

Fang Jun was secretly happy, they are really smart people, Empress Wende is the life of His Majesty Li Er, as long as Empress Wende is carried out, it will be unfavorable.

Suddenly I felt that something was missing, and I secretly looked back, and suddenly my lungs exploded!

The prince and Li Chunfeng both interceded with him, but Li Ke obediently stood behind the two of them without saying a word...... Li Laosan is really treacherous!

Although His Majesty Li Er was furious, but now that the crown prince interceded with Fang Jun, Li Chunfeng even brought out Empress Wende, so he could only give up, glaring at Fang Jun and saying angrily: "Didn't you say that this temple is made of stone masonry and is stronger and more durable?" In this case, you will assist King Wu in building this temple, and complete it within two years. ”

The emperor also reacted quickly, since he paid for his own money, he used stone masonry, compared with the transportation of all kinds of precious wood and complicated carving and decoration, the cost of using stone is obviously lower.

If you can save a little......

Fang Jun had no choice but to promise: "Weichen will receive the order." ”

Li Ke behind him was full of depression: "The sons obey the order." ”

What does it matter to me? I didn't say a word, but I put myself in......

The whole temple is built of stone?

Not to mention the cost, the transportation of stone alone will be dead. Although Guanzhong is mountainous, but there are not many mountains that can be used to mine stones, even if they are mined, with the scale of the Great Ci'en Temple for the amount of stones, let alone two years, it may not be possible to transport all the required stones to Chang'an within five years......

His Majesty Li Er shook his hand hatefully, ignored the crowd, and turned around and walked out of the wooden tower.

just walked to the door, looked back at Li Chengqian and Li Ke and said, "You two come with me." After a pause, he glared at Fang Jun again: "You come with me!" ”

With that, go out the door.

Fang Jun looked stunned, but when he saw that the prince and King Wu were going together, he would not punish himself anymore, and hurriedly walked out behind the two.

Wuchuan Temple is built by the former Sui Dynasty, and the incense was at its peak for a period of time, but since the end of the Sui Dynasty, it has gradually fallen down, in fact, the temples in Chang'an City go out of Ximing Temple, are somewhat declining, and the pilgrims are more and more waiting to see the magnificent Buddhist temples on the Zhongnan Mountain that are hidden in the green pines and cypresses, and they look down on these narrow and cramped small temples in the city......

The towering trees are swaying in the autumn wind, one by one the fallen leaves are broken from time to time and the leaf veins are broken and floated down, the green brick floor is covered with a staggered layer, there are few monks in the temple, only an old monk who is rickety wears a shabby monk's robe, copies a broom, and sweeps it without a while, unhurried......

When passing by the old monk, the old monk's posture remained unchanged, and he seemed to ignore the external objects around him.

Fang Jun was amazed, and said in his heart that this old monk was either a deaf man, or a hidden boss like the "sweeping monk" of Shaolin Temple......

Not long after walking, an exquisite Zen temple appeared in front of it.
