All the monks of Jinshan Temple were beheaded on Zhuque Street to show the public, Li Jun also ordered Jingzhao Yin Baoqing to set off a sweeping Buddha activity in the capital, all the temples that were not allowed by the imperial court were all sealed, including some private temples of noble families, but in the iron-faced and ruthless Bao Qing, none of them ran away.

The county guards also immediately followed the footsteps of the imperial court, and also set off a sweeping Buddha activity in each county, for which the Buddha suffered heavy losses and was miserable.

On this day, Li Jun was teasing his eldest daughter, and He Shen came in to report: "Your Majesty, Master Xuanzang of Buddhism is asking to see him outside, and he was recommended by the Queen Mother." ”

Li Jun handed his daughter to Red Sleeves and said, "Okay, I know, arrange for him to go to Shangshutai." ”

"No."

Li Jun looked at his daughter's clear eyes and sighed: "Red sleeves, my daughter must not marry until she is eighteen years old, and I will definitely help her find a good family, and she must not be entrusted to a person like Aunt Liyang." ”

Red Sleeves replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, with your father here, who dares to bully us Ling'er?" ”

Li Jun waved his hand and said: "It's different, when the emperor's grandfather was here, Aunt Liyang was also loved by thousands of people, in case I am not there one day, but there will be no one to shelter Ling'er from the wind and rain, and she will have to rely on herself at that time." ”

"Your Majesty, Hugh is talking nonsense." Red Sleeves immediately covered Li Jun's mouth with his hand and said.

Li Jun smiled and said, "Okay, I hope I can live a long life and protect my daughter for a lifetime." ”

"Your Majesty will do so." Redsleeves said immediately.

Li Jun kissed Red Sleeves on the forehead and left laughing.

When he came to Shangshutai and saw Xuanzang with a gray beard and a face full of vicissitudes, Li Jun immediately said affectionately: "Master Xuanzang, why do you still have to come in person?" ”

Xuanzang is a world-famous Buddhist teacher, not only in Buddhism, but also has a very good personal relationship with Yang Xiong and other sons, and is also the guest of Empress Dowager Wei, so Li Juncai respects this person so much.

When Xuanzang saw Li Jun, he cried and said, "Your Majesty, please let the Buddha Gate go." ”

Li Jun never expected that this old guy would react like this when he came to see him, he didn't know the inside story, and he thought that he was a tyrant who would kill innocents indiscriminately.

Li Jun said speechlessly: "Master, it's not interesting for you to do this, it's true that I am the emperor, but I didn't kill innocents indiscriminately, I just acted in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so it's no wonder that I am to blame, if you want to blame you Buddhism for too many moths, privately occupy people's land, and there are even people who forcibly occupy people's daughters, what are such monks doing with them?" ”

Xuanzang stopped crying, blushed and said with a thick neck: "Your Majesty, these moths really should be killed, but you can't kill them all with a stick, there are also some good monks, healing and saving people, and building bridges with auxiliary roads, what are the sins of these people?" ”

Li Jun sneered: "Master, I don't want to argue about this matter, my officials all act according to the law, if there are innocent people killed, the Tang Law will not let them go either." ”

"In this case, please Your Majesty must investigate to the end, one of Lao Gao's junior brothers, who has never killed anyone in his life, was imprisoned by the Danyang County Shou for intentional homicide, if Your Majesty doesn't make it clear, I'm afraid the world will not accept it." Xuanzang continued.

Li Jun laughed and said, "Haha, what's not convinced? Being in a Buddhist family is a sin to not do anything to produce, Master Xuanzang, I have also heard about your junior brother, although this person did not kill people, but killed people, this is also considered murder, and I warn you again: From now on, you people who have become foreign people must also do things according to my rules, otherwise I don't mind destroying the Buddha and completely eradicating Buddhism. ”

Li Jun left this sentence hard, and then brushed his sleeves away, leaving Xuanzang alone There I don't know what to do?

Xuanzang had a very good personal relationship with Yusuo, and when he left the palace, he went straight to the ink garden of Shanglin Yuan, Yusuo warmly entertained Xuanzang, and then began to talk nonsense, at this time, how could Xuanzang have the heart to listen to Yusuo's nonsense.

So he asked straight to the point: "Old Yusuo, you should also know the meaning of the old man's coming, don't hide it, the old man just came out of the palace, His Majesty is furious, ready to destroy the Buddha, you help the old man come up with an idea, what should I do about this?" ”

Yu Su touched his beard and pointed to Zhao Yin, who was waiting on the side, and said: "Old monk, look at this person, his mouth and teeth were all broken by King Lu, for which His Majesty also fined his father 500 fiefdoms, but now this child has become a fragrant dumpling, if it weren't for His Majesty's assignment, my Mo family wouldn't have been able to get this child, do you know the reason?" ”

"This old man has also heard about it, it seems that this child has a good idea, and then solved the shortage of grain and grass in Hangai Mountain, Your Majesty Long Yan Dayue, personally handed over this child to your Mo family, but what does this matter have to do with the old man's matter?" Xuanzang asked puzzled.

Yu Su laughed and said: "Old monk, smart one, confused for a while, Your Majesty likes people who are useful to him, so your Buddhists have to prove their role, so that Your Majesty will change his mind." ”

"How do you prove it?"

"Northern Liao, Hangai Mountain......" Yu Sue replied with a smile.

Xuanzang is also a smart person, and when he heard Yusuo's answer, he quickly understood, and laughed and said: "Old fox, there is really you, this time the old man owes you a favor, and he will pay it back in the future." After speaking, Xuanzang left in a hurry.

Yu Sue looked at Xuanzang's departing back, and couldn't help but sigh and said to Zhao Yin beside him: "Child, do you see it?" In the future, you have to keep your mouth shut, otherwise the teacher will be like this old guy, he is a lot older, and he will have to run for you everywhere. ”

"Teachers can rest assured that students will not worry teachers so much." Zhao Yin replied immediately.

When Xuanzang arrived at the palace, he asked to see Li Jun again, but this time Li Jun didn't see him, but just asked He Shen to give Xuanzang a message: "First, all temples are not allowed to occupy the fields privately, let alone usury. The second is that monks must be allowed to be ordained by the imperial court, and all monks accept the management of the Tang court, pay taxes on time, and help the imperial court steal information from the enemy. ”

Xuanzang agreed to the above two points, and finally Xuanzang added with a smile: "Da Changqiu, please tell Your Majesty that this year's imperial court has both natural disasters and military disasters, although my Buddhism is a foreign people, but it also belongs to the Tang Dynasty, so Buddhism is ready to donate one million yuan to the imperial court, please allow Your Majesty." ”

"Haha, okay, Master Xuanzang is really worried about the country and the people, I will go and tell Your Majesty now." He Shen said happily.

Xuanzang didn't wait long, He Shen came back, still holding a pair of words in his hand, He Shen said with a smile: "Master, Your Majesty heard the master's words, Long Yan Dayue, didn't you personally write the four big words "Fair and Fair" to the master, please go back and restrain the disciples, don't be like this time, and make trouble for Your Majesty." ”

"Thank you Da Changqiu for reminding me, and the old man will take his leave."
