Chapter 808: The Buddha and the Tao Fight

"The spring night is bitter and short, and the day is high, and the husband will not go to court early."

On the second day, Merton, who was immersed in the gentle countryside, really fulfilled the psalm he promised, and his task had been completed, so he naturally did not hesitate to be absent from today's morning dynasty.

In the Taiji Palace, the early dynasty in which Mo Jiazi was absent was in the spotlight, and among the courtiers, Master Huiyuan, who was in a solemn monk's robe, was particularly conspicuous.

"Your Majesty, the Buddhists have made mistakes again and again, but they are obsessed, thanks to Your Majesty's guidance, the Buddhists have repented, and they have made a special mistake to save themselves, and I ask Your Majesty for approval." Master Huiyuan clasped his hands together and presented a letter.

Suddenly, the ministers couldn't help but be in an uproar, before this, they had naturally obtained the content of the debate between the Mo family and the Buddhist family, but they were still shocked when they really saw the self-help of the Buddhist family.

You must know that Buddhism has been introduced to China for 600 years, and everyone knows the hidden dangers of Buddhism.

"Degree the system, give up the Terada tax exemption, and clear the rules and precepts!" When Li Shimin saw the content of the fold, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and the self-help fold on the Buddhist family was the same as what Murton reported yesterday.

"The Buddhists' move is to sacrifice themselves for the country, and the merits are immeasurable, and the second is to make their own doctrine complete, and since then the Dharma has risen greatly, which is really a double happiness!" Li Shimin nodded and praised, now the Buddhists have taken the initiative to save themselves, so that he can avoid the infamy of ingratitude, and solve the internal troubles for Datang, this is killing two birds with one stone.

Master Huiyuan bowed down and said: "This is the stupidity of the Buddhist family, who only cares about the small family and abandons everyone, and today he repents. There is a country first, and then there is a home, the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached, my Tang Dynasty will always exist, the Buddhist family will also survive, the Tang Dynasty will prosper, and my Buddhist family will also prosper forever. ”

"Okay, Buddhism has such an enlightenment, it is really a blessing in the world, if the world is as enlightened as the master, why don't I worry about it." Li Shimin said with great joy that as an emperor, he would naturally not refuse the increase in land tax.

"Master Wise!" The ministers also chimed in. Everyone carried the flower shelf, and the officials naturally congratulated one after another.

The matter of Buddhism has been disputed in the DPRK and China for too long, and now it ends with Buddhism saving itself, which can be regarded as an explanation to all parties. For the supporters of Buddhism, although Buddhism is restricted, it solves the hidden dangers, and it can be said that there are also many benefits, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

Master Huiyuan turned around like Fu Yi and saluted solemnly: "Master Fu is polite, what happened back then, it was actually my Buddhist family's fault first, and the Buddhist family purified all sentient beings, but took the initiative to fail to do this, and sat back and watched Fu Shizhu fall into a crisis, which is really the fault of my Buddhist family." ”

Fu Yi couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The master is ashamed of Fu, Fu doesn't mind what happened back then, and he is also not right to the Buddhists, and he thinks about the world wholeheartedly, and is rude to the Buddhists, so please forgive the master." ”

Master Huiyuan laughed and said: "If it weren't for Master Fu's repeated outspoken Buddhas' mistakes, the Buddhists would be able to repent and be loyal to their ears, and the Buddhists would still be grateful to Master Fu?" ”

Fu Yi couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw this, and couldn't help but say: "The master's wisdom is outstanding, and Fu admires it." ”

In fact, Fu Yi has been biting the Buddhist family, is it really just for the country and the court, I am afraid that the grievances of the year are not unrelated, now that I see that the Buddhist family has solved the hidden danger, Master Huiyuan also apologized to him, and the original obsession suddenly disappeared.

If Merton were again, he would definitely sigh again that Master Huiyuan's human offensive was powerful, and it was simply an invisible move.

Seeing this, Li Shimin laughed and said: "Since you have a grievance, it is really a blessing for the court, I think that I was in a crisis back then, and was rescued by the Shaolin stick monk, and I still appreciate the kindness of Shaolin when I think of it." ”

Master Huiyuan hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is polite, it is an honor for Shaolin to be able to meet Your Majesty, and whether it is ordinary people or true dragon emperors, as long as Shaolin meets, they will help and never want to reciprocate." ”

Just kidding, now the Buddhists have been preserved by relying on Shaolin's kindness to Li Shimin, and if Li Shimin is allowed to return the kindness, it will be repaid.

Li Shimin made a gesture and said in a deep voice: "I know that the master is a high-ranking monk, and Shaolin is also a holy place for Buddhism, so I naturally don't like worldly things to tarnish the reputation of Buddhism. ”

"Gifts!" Everyone in the court couldn't help but be surprised and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and suddenly Pang De suddenly held a long scroll, quietly opened, and suddenly the three big characters of Shaolin Temple jumped on the paper.

"Inscription?" The ministers couldn't help but pause, and couldn't help but think of the inscription that Li Shimin gave Mojia Village the first village in the world before, and such a trick can be said to be the same.

Li Shimin strode forward, picked up the brush, wrote his name in the lower right corner, and at the same time picked up the jade seal and covered it heavily.

"Shaolin Temple!"

"Your Majesty's autograph!"

"And the Seal of the Jade Seal."

Hundreds of officials can't help but discuss, before Li Shimin inscription Mojia Village is the first village in the world, so that Mojia Village is famous, its value is simply incalculable, and now Li Shimin personally inscribed the name of Shaolin Temple, and printed it with a jade seal, Shaolin will definitely benefit a lot in the future.

"Shaolin, thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and the old man is ashamed." Master Huiyuan said gratefully.

He has used the human offensive all his life, but at this moment, he has to take over Li Shimin's human offensive.

And he naturally knows the weight of these three words, which can be said to be the talisman of Shaolin Temple, even if there is a third Buddhist martyrdom, as long as these three words are there, it is enough to protect Shaolin unharmed.

At this point, the turmoil of Buddhism has gone from the storm in the city to the peaceful end, and the confrontation can be said to be everywhere, but no one can forget that there is a key figure in it, that is, the Mo family who was not present.

"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" Pound saw that the hour was almost up, and said in a loud voice.

"Wechen has something to do!" Just when the hundred officials were about to retreat from the court, Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng suddenly came out of the ranks.

"Tai Shi Ling!" The ministers couldn't help but be stunned, but he knew that Taoism and Buddhism wanted to be at odds, and the competition between the two sides for believers was fierce, and now Li Chunfeng suddenly came forward, and couldn't help but make everyone suspicious.

"Quasi-play!" Li Shimin thought that the Taoists were a little displeased, but they didn't show it.

Li Chunfeng didn't seem to see everyone's strange eyes, but bowed down and said: "Buddhism and Taoism belong to the same religion, and today I can't help but feel ashamed when I see the fold of Buddhism's self-help." ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Li Chunfeng in confusion, they thought that Li Chunfeng was taking the initiative to provoke, so it seems that the form is wrong!

"What does Li Aiqing mean?" Li Shimin will be suspicious.

Li Chunfeng said proudly: "Wechen decided that the Taoists would also give up the tax-free privileges, and at the same time asked for the implementation of the system of degrees. ”

As soon as Li Chunfeng's voice fell, the ministers were in an uproar, and no one thought that the Taoists would follow the example of the family's self-help method and also take the initiative to give up the tax-free privileges.

What the hell is going on, could it be that overnight, everyone became selfless.

Li Chunfeng couldn't help but show a hint of pride, Taoism seems to give up tax exemption privileges, but it is not a loss, first, the Taoist Taoist temple does not have much land under its name, even if it pays taxes, it is pitiful, and second, the Buddhist's degree system is full of 500,000 quotas, this amount is a limit for Buddhism, but for the quiet and inactive Taoist, it is simply the limit.

What the Taoists gave up was just a small benefit, but in exchange for it was equivalent to 500,000 degrees of Buddhism, and it could also curry favor with the imperial court, so that the Taoists would not be one step behind the Buddhists, and they would not lose anything.

The ministers thought about it slightly, and suddenly understood the plan of Taoism, but the ministers couldn't help but be terrified, so calculated, the Mohists, Buddhists, and Taoists have all given up the tax-free privileges, and suddenly squeezed Confucianism to an extremely embarrassing point.

Among the ministers, Kong Yingda couldn't help but sigh, he knew that it would be like this, and couldn't help but look up at the ministers, only to see that all the ministers subconsciously avoided his gaze, and couldn't help but hang their heads down.

Li Shimin waited for a while, only to see that the court was silent, and then laughed and said: "Taoists are so loyal to the country, how can I live up to the hard work of Taoists." ”

The ministers heard Li Shimin's loud laughter, but the important ministers, who were very familiar with his character, understood that he must have been extremely unhappy in his heart, and when he thought of the initiator of all this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said:

"Mo Jiazi!"

The first to give up tax exemption was the Mo family, and the one who bewitched the Buddhists to give up the tax exemption was also the Mo family, so it was also inseparable from the Mo family to induce the Taoists to give up the tax exemption, and he was naturally the one who finally pitted Confucianism.
