Just when Murton reported to Li Shimin, the news about Mortun's tongue war against the monks spread like flying in Chang'an City.

Unexpectedly, this time the Buddhists did not have the slightest sense of concealment, but happily showed all the experiences one by one, so that the eyeliner shouted wonderful at the same time, but also wondered, but everyone naturally didn't care about these, quickly remembered these wonderful plots, and went back to restore their lives.

"Why didn't the senior brother issue a ban order, but instead added fuel to the fire and made the secret discussion between the Mo family and the Buddhist family public." In the temple of recklessness, Farin was puzzled.

Master Huiyuan smiled slightly and said: "After the incident of the Great Compassion Temple, the prestige of the Buddhist family in Chang'an City has dropped to the freezing point, but on the contrary, the Mo family is in Chang'an City. ”

Master Fa Lin suddenly said: "Senior brother's intention is to use the prestige of the Mo family to enhance the reputation of the Buddhist family. ”

Master Huiyuan nodded without hesitation and said: "Today's debate, it seems that Buddhism is at a disadvantage, but it is our initiative to retreat and sacrifice the interests of Buddhism for the Tang Dynasty. If Buddhism does not take this opportunity to launch it, it will be difficult for him to have today's effect even if it costs ten times the price. ”

It is naturally difficult to change the reputation of Buddhism alone, but Mo Jiazi's every move has attracted much attention in Chang'an City, and although Mo Jiazi seems to convince Buddhism, he uses Buddhist classics, which indirectly proves the wisdom and classics of Buddhism. I believe that at this moment, the whole city is paying attention to the debate between the two families, and the Buddhist family will not take the opportunity to restore its reputation.

Master Fa Lin admired: "Senior brother is wise, the reputation of the Buddhist family in Chang'an City has been ruined, although it is the fault of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, but it is from the hands of the Mo family, and now with the help of the Mo Shi to restore the reputation of the Buddhist family, one cause and one effect, it has its own providence." ”

Not to mention the plans of the Buddhists, and at this moment, Chang'an City has already exploded.

"I am a Buddha with compassion and sacrifice my life for the world." In Chang'an City, a group of believers couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, but the wise decision made by the Buddhists made them vomit their previous bad luck.

"Make amends! Mo Sheng is really wise. ”

"Bodhi has no tree............

"I would like to be a stone bridge ......"

However, in Chang'an City, in addition to a group of believers, there are also a large number of loyal fans of the Mo family, when the Mo family and the Buddhists compete, one by one classic allusions make everyone want to stop.

They may not know the Buddhist scriptures, but through the Mo family, they have learned about Buddhism again, which is exactly the scene foreseen by Master Huiyuan. He may not have used Mo Jiazi to accurately predict what would happen many years later, but his grasp of people's hearts was perfect, and for a while, with the help of this debate, the reputation of Buddhism's original trough soared again.

Ordinary people only care about the excitement of the story, and believers praise the compassion of Buddhism, but in the ears of the hundreds of schools, it is no less than an earthquake.

"The Buddhists actually took the initiative to back down." The people of the hundred schools of thought were incredible, and no one thought that the Buddhists would accept the system and directly give up the privilege of tax-free Terada.

Although it is an independent act of Buddhism, it has a deep meaning among the hundreds of schools, because Buddhism is the second school after Mohist to give up tax exemption privileges.

"And now it's my turn to make the Taoist choice." In the Xuandu Temple, Taoist leader Li Chunfeng muttered to himself.

Now Buddhism and Taoism belong to the same religion, Buddhism has taken a step ahead, and now it depends on whether Taoism has this determination.

Coincidentally, in the Confucian family, Kong Yingda also faced this choice, among the existing hundreds of schools, the Mo family took the initiative to give up because of the tax exemption enjoyed by Mo Dun for the Hou Ye, and the Buddhists also gave up the tax exemption in order to save themselves, so the Taoists and Confucians still enjoy the privilege of tax exemption.

The biggest beneficiary of this is the Confucian family, who has lived in Qufu for generations, which is the symbol and glory of Qufu and the largest landowner in Qufu.

According to the imperial examination, all scholars who are talented in the middle of the examination can be exempted from forced labor and the tax of a certain amount of land, while the number of scholars is even more, which is enough to exempt dozens of people from forced labor and the field tax of hundreds of acres of land. So there is a person in the lift, relatives and friends have their own fields attached to the land, lifting people do not need to raise their hands, you can get a lot of benefits, as the saying goes, poor scholars, rich people's origin,

In addition, there are also some children of the clan, famous and powerful, who are exempt from more taxes.

Kong Desheng snorted coldly: "Of course, my Confucianism has the privilege of tax exemption, but Xiucai has a pitiful tax exemption field, although there are many people, how many people are hired in three years, it is not enough to worry about it." ”

The tax-free quota occupied by Confucianism is naturally not as terrifying as the three million monks and nuns of the Buddhist family, so Kong Desheng does not think so at all.

"But now that both the Mohists and the Buddhists have given up tax exemptions, if the Taoists follow suit, I'm afraid that my Confucianism will be the truth." Kong Yingda frowned.

Kong Desheng disagreed: "The Buddhists have to cut off their tails to survive in order to save themselves, but the Taoists do not have this hidden danger, do you think the Taoists will end their lives?" ”

Kong Yingda wanted to persuade again, but in the end he opened his mouth and did not speak.

In the Mo Mansion, almost everyone was absent-minded, and from time to time they looked at the gate. Until Merton's carriage stopped at the gate of the Mo Mansion, the entire Mo Mansion couldn't help but cheer.

"The master is back!" Wu Meiniang shouted with a look of surprise on her face, and suddenly all the people in the Mo Mansion greeted her.

"Young Master, you're back!" Mo Er hurriedly stepped forward to hold the carriage and welcomed Mo Dun in.

Merton nodded, seeing that everyone in Mofu was staring at him in surprise, he couldn't help but look at his clothes uncomfortably, and wondered: "What's wrong, am I wearing the wrong clothes today?" ”

Princess Changle glanced at Aunt Xu, and Aunt Xu immediately stepped forward and took a newly made dress and said, "The young master has been running around for a day, and the clothes are already dirty, Aunt Xu just made a dress for the young master, and she just happened to change into it." ”

Merton looked at the new clothes he had just worn in the morning suspiciously, and wondered, "Is it rising, why didn't I find it?" ”

"It's dirty!" Immediately, everyone nodded without hesitation.

Aunt Xu couldn't help but take off Merton's coat, and said with a disgusted face: "Why is there a sandalwood fragrance, it's just too bad, the young master is a man, only women want to spray some perfume to decorate." ”

Princess Changle asked Mojia Village to produce perfumes, and naturally she did not forget the people of Mofu, and almost all the perfumes produced by priority were given to the women of Mofu and Mojiazi.

"That's it, Aunt Xu's hands are just right, this dress is really good-looking, but it is much stronger than those monks' monotonous monks' robes." Princess Changle nodded in agreement.

Merton saw that everyone was embarrassed and had to change into new clothes in public, and everyone smiled.

"The young master hasn't returned for a day, and the monks must be thirsty and hungry! The little one prepared the food, and waited for the young master to come back and taste it. Yu Er continued.

Morton thought about it carefully, he had a dry mouth after a busy day, and without the presence of the eldest grandson, Murton did not find a chance to eat, and he had already had an empty stomach, and nodded again and again.

Merton and the people of Mofu returned to the villa, and sure enough, a table full of fragrant delicacies was ready.

"Young Master, please enjoy!" Yu Er said respectfully.

Merton saw a group of delicacies and suddenly moved his index fingers, and he ate unceremoniously and ate them, but the more he ate, the more wrong he became, looking at the table full of delicacies, he was puzzled: "Why are they all meat dishes, and there are no vegetarian dishes!" ”

Hearing the Merdon element dish, everyone's faces suddenly changed, and Yu Er suddenly panicked and said: "Young master, don't blame, this is a small negligence, and the small one will be fried again." ”

"Meat and vegetarian pairing is the right way to feast, how can you make such a stupid mistake." Merton reprimanded with ironclad.

Princess Changle said on the side: "Yuer has worked hard to make it, so you can just do some!" ”

Morton choked suddenly, he didn't expect that Princess Changle, who was the most picky on weekdays, would help Yuer, and said helplessly: "Okay, it's all meat dishes, why don't you even have saliva." ”

"Such a delicacy, what kind of water to drink, if the young master is thirsty, Fu Bo happens to be addicted to alcohol today, you and I haven't sat together for a long time, and today is just a drink." At some point, Fu Bo actually took out a bottle of crystal to relieve his sorrows, and filled it with Merton.

Merton naturally didn't want to refute Fauber's face, and he happened to be extremely thirsty, so he drank with Fauber at the moment.

Seeing Merton drinking, everyone in Mofu was relieved, and soon, a plate of vegetarian dishes was served, tea was served, and after the wine and food were full, Merton got up satisfied.

"Since I've been tired all day, I won't bother when I wait." Fauber saw that Merton had eaten and drunk well, so he beckoned the people of Mofu to leave.

It wasn't until everyone left, leaving only Merton and Princess Changle alone, that Merton expressed the doubts in his heart.

"Why is everyone weird today?" Morton Zhang Er said without touching his head.

Princess Changle glanced at Mo Dun and said: "It's not that you are scary today, for a while, Bodhi Xie, for a while, for the rules and precepts, for a while, the Buddhist family wants to let you be the identity of the six ancestors, and now the revival of the Mo family is all about you, you say that they are nervous or not." ”

Merton suddenly laughed and said: "In this way, Aunt Xu asked me to pass on beautiful clothes, Yuer asked me to eat meat dishes, and Fu Bo poured me to drink, just to test whether I want to become a monk?" ”

"Now Chang'an City is rumored that you have profound Buddhism, not to mention the debate, but also in the secret room of the meditation room, with one enemy and two, even Master Huiyuan and Master Fa Lin are willing to bow down, who knows if you can't think about it for a while, will you become a monk!" Princess Changle pouted, since Merton drank and ate meat, she was also relieved, and couldn't help complaining.

Merton suddenly laughed, he didn't expect that the discussion with Hui Yuan and Fa Lin in the secret room would be misunderstood by the world like this, but the topic of the secret room was confidential, and he was at a loss for words now.

At that moment, he saw Princess Changle's complaining expression, which was very cute, and he couldn't help but think of teasing, and said with a smile: "You think that eating meat and drinking wine will break the vows, and it is unstable, wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left in his heart, as long as there is a Buddha in his heart, there is the West Heaven everywhere." ”

"Ahh Princess Changle suddenly opened her mouth slightly, stayed there, and looked at Merton in disbelief.

Merton smiled slyly: "In fact, there is one of the most direct ways to prove whether a person wants to become a monk or not. ”

"How?" Princess Changle said urgently.

"Quit sex!" Merton lowered his head and whispered in Princess Changle's ear with the smell of wine.

"Ahh Princess Changle's face turned red suddenly, she naturally knew what Merton meant, but obediently snuggled in Merton's arms, let Merton be hugged by a princess, picked her up, climbed the stairs, and walked into the bedroom upstairs.
