It is impossible for Buddhism to succumb to King Qin's tough methods so easily, but there are only a few temples, can King Qin still kill all the monks in Chang'an?

But the next move of King Qin was not expected by anyone.

"The Buddhist temple has hidden rebels and traitors, and I hope that the people of Chang'an will pay attention to their own safety, and pay more attention to the temple when burning incense, for fear that there will be evil monks wandering out."

When King Qin sent a notice, Li Shimin was stupid, and Xuanzang and others were even more dumbfounded.

The first time I saw this kind of posting notice, especially the tone in it, it really didn't look like it was written by King Qin.

The monks didn't care, but it wasn't until a few days later that they realized the true power of the notice.

The people spread the word of mouth that the temples that burn incense and worship the Buddha on weekdays, among them are all sinners, who dares to go to the incense?

Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha? Jokes, can all sins be dissipated by changing into a robe?

If so, where is the law of the Tang Dynasty? Where is the justice of heaven and earth?

"Did you hear that? The notice posted by His Royal Highness King Qin! ”

"I've known for a long time, doesn't this Buddhism say a pure place? How can you still shield the criminal? ”

"Who said it wasn't, I used to think that those monks were all kind and kind-hearted, but now it seems that they are really unseemly!"

"If you want me to say, it's better to go to that place less in the future, there is a girl next door, but after going to the temple to burn incense, she lost her trace."

"Huh? Who's the girl? How did I not know? ”

"It's Ruyifang, the girl of the old Sun family! You don't know yet? ”

"Really? That...... Did the girl find it? ”

"Alas...... Where can I find it, but no one is there......"

This rumor was not triggered by Li Fangchen's sent, but the people were suspicious.

There are too many stories in Chang'an City, and any two of them can be implicated.

It is not uncommon for Tang women to go to the temple to offer incense, and it is inevitable that one or two of them will never return.

It can be said that the construction of the legal system in Datang is not perfect, and it can also be said that the population is large, and it is inevitable that there will be negligent management and investigation. Seventy percent of Datang's missing persons cases will become unsolved cases, because this is not an era with a sound legal system.

The fate of the woman's disappearance is naturally obvious, only the parents are in tears, regretting the death of their beloved daughter.

As a result, Buddhism plummeted, and the state capitals began to suppress it.

There was also a prince above the king of Qin, seeing that his brother had a dispute with Buddhism, the first thing he did the next day was to ask the sage to strictly investigate, and the Buddhism dared to ignore the law and must be severely punished.

The prince's standing in line also made some courtiers retract their original wait-and-see gaze.

When the turmoil in the court situation spread, the crown prince and dozens of officials believed that the Buddhist temple should be strictly investigated.

Unwilling?

Which one cares about you?

You are just a Buddha, only a people, not a soldier!

Not to mention the thousands of troops and horses of the Tang Dynasty, the white wolf under King Qin alone is enough to eradicate Buddhism from the world.

What is left is only a little bit.

Buddhism's seemingly ethereal escapist attitude has always been their biggest protective umbrella.

Who doesn't like religion that doesn't like power, doesn't fight for power, and can appease the people?

But now it is not possible, because their current accumulation has made people worry.

The doctrine is empty and illusory, far less terrifying than the actual appearance of batches of gold and silver treasures.

Li Shimin has evil thoughts, thinking of looting all the relatively large temples around Chang'an City, not to mention others.

Today you can hand over twelve golden Buddhas, dozens of carts of gold and silver, but what about tomorrow?

How deep is your Buddhist heritage?

If it weren't for King Qin, I'm afraid that Buddhism could easily pull up an army of 100,000, right?

This is in Chang'an! Under his Li Shimin's nose, an army of 100,000 is afraid that it will not be a problem to break through Chang'an!

"Xuanzang, tell King Qin that we agreed to his conditions!"

Buddhism chose to give in. There are no believers, and now there are very few people burning incense in Buddhism, and the whole temple looks a little down.

Xuanzang said in his heart: "When I first discussed with you, I was arrogant and regarded King Qin as nothing, but now I want to ..... Alas, Amitabha. ”

Xuanzang visited Qin Wangzhuang three times and met Li Fangchen, the king of Qin, again.

"What's the matter? Got it in mind? ”

Li Fangchen and Li Tai looked at each other and smiled, and when they turned their heads to look at Xuanzang, there was a bit of playfulness in their smiles.

Xuanzang nodded, "Amitabha, please also ask Your Highness to raise your noble hand, and ask Your Highness to let the Buddha Gate go." ”

"Buddhism? How come your Buddha's horses are here in this king? ”

"Your Royal Highness......" Xuanzang looked bitter, how did he not know that this was King Qin's pastime.

"That's it, you get up first, and this king can let go of Buddhism."

"Your Highness!"

Hurriedly got up and saluted again, every move was a Tang salute, and it was rare to see a Buddha salute.

It's just that the real name of the Buddha in his mouth is really difficult to change, and Li Fangchen doesn't mind this.

"The Buddha said to save the world, and the Buddha saved the world. It's not just a matter of saying it and then reciting two verses. This king has given you the opportunity to truly save the world, so why don't you do it? ”

Xuanzang was silent and didn't answer, why didn't he do it, he didn't think he was superior in his heart, that is, he was a monk, why did he practice medicine?

Li Fangchen motioned for Xuanzang to sit down, and then said with a smile: "This king also knows a mage, his real name is Li Shutong, and his name is yin, but outsiders prefer to call him Master Hongyi!" ”

Hongichi? Why has this name never been heard?

Xuanzang was curious in his heart and waited for King Qin's next words.

"Half a life of flashiness, half a life of serving the Buddha. This person's poems, lyrics, calligraphy, and paintings are all in one, and he has made great contributions to the country. No matter who you see in the contemporary era, you will be called Master Li! After returning to the Buddha, he carefully worshiped the Buddha in the second half of his life, and when he died of illness, all sentient beings lamented. ”

Li Fangchen is not so simple to say, Master Hongyi, the first person to introduce Western music theory to China, and the pioneer of the New Culture Movement.

is even the founder of Chinese drama, which shows the contribution made by the other party to the country.

Today's Buddhism, which one dares to compare with it?

Religion baptizes people's hearts and makes them fearless of all kinds of hardships in life.

But his function is only like this, is it possible to rely on the Buddha to protect the mountains and rivers? Or do you pray to the Buddha to ensure that everyone respects each other and that all nations are friendly?

"Amitabha, if you are lucky, Xuanzang hopes to worship under the other party's door, but unfortunately he can't meet him."

Xuanzang sighed in his heart, if what His Royal Highness King Qin said was true, then this mage could really be called a high-ranking monk.

Li Fangchen also sighed, and then said: "The Buddha is in the heart, and he opens his mouth to call the Buddha, how ridiculous?" If the true Buddha is alive, you, me, and Qingque can all be true Buddhas, but who is the true Buddha, and how many people know about it? Since we are from the Buddha, we must know what the Buddha is. ”

"Please give me advice, Your Highness!"

"If the Buddha is the heart, and if there is a Buddha in the heart, everyone is like a Buddha. If the Buddha is the intention, then the meaning is to obtain the Dharma and benefit all sentient beings. When the Buddha talks about compassion, he will be merciful to the world and save the world from the sea of suffering. If the Buddha is a healer......"

At this pause, Li Fangchen looked at Xuanzang, who said loudly: "Heal the common people and promote the subtlety of Buddhism." ”

"Good!"

At this moment, Xuanzang seemed to have dissipated all the stasis in his heart, and the whole person was sublimated.

What His Royal Highness King Qin said is true, what is a Buddha? What is a Buddha?

Since the Buddha is alive, why is there a stay in the temple, can the golden body really make the world feel the mystery and profundity of the Dharma?

"Thank you, Your Highness, Xuanzang has something to ask for!"

"Words!"

"Please send someone to teach Buddhism and the Great Xiangguo Temple, the world's Buddhist Temple, the little monk can't control it, but the Great Xiangguo Temple will be the real Buddha!"

Li Fangchen looked outside the house, "It's coming soon, maybe it will arrive in a few days." ”

"Who?"

"Healer!"

"The one from the Daomen?"

"Who else is qualified but him?"

"In that case, Xuanzang retires!"

"Qingque, send the mage away for me."

This is the first time that Xuanzang was sent out of Qinwangzhuang, and several times before, he was lonely and returned.

Now it is different, he seems to have a new interpretation of Buddhism, and he sighs in his heart, regardless of whether others are true Buddhas or not, but looking at King Qin, it is enough to talk about true Buddhas. （）
