I don't know why King Qin wants to support King Wei, Xuanzang has a lot of questions in his heart, and he still needs to ask His Royal Highness King Qin for advice.

Li Fangchen looked at Xuanzang, "This king asks you a few questions, if you can answer them, Qin Wangzhuang will follow you in and out in the future, if you can't answer them, the life and death of Buddhism will have nothing to do with you in the future." ”

"Please also ask Your Highness to speak clearly." Xuanzang didn't dare to be careless, judging from Li Fangchen's intentions, he was afraid that Buddhism would have a catastrophe in the future.

"Buddhism, but a country?"

The first question startled Xuanzang.

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

"If you are not a country, why don't you pay taxes and cultivate land?"

Xuanzang explained: "Your Majesty undertakes the merit of saving the Buddha Gate, and is specially exempted from the Buddha Gate tax, doesn't His Royal Highness know?" ”

Li Fangchen said with a smile: "In this case, wouldn't the monks who join the Buddhist sect not have to pay taxes?" ”

Xuanzang suddenly felt nervous, yes, His Royal Highness King Qin's question really made him a little frightened.

"Buddhism, but a country?"

Li Fangchen asked this question again, and Xuanzang's expression was slightly serious, "Back to Your Highness, no!" ”

"Then why do my frontier men fight bravely to kill the enemy, but Buddhism can enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world?"

"Buddhism abstains from killing, stops killing, and those who enter Buddhism should not kill."

"According to your intentions, but when the foreign enemy comes, let your Buddha come forward to influence the other party?"

Listening to the ridicule in Li Fangchen's words, Xuanzang couldn't help but breathe heavily, and his mood was complicated.

"This king asks you again, Buddhism, but a country?"

"No ......"

"Then why do the people of the world work, but you Buddhism sit back and enjoy its success, do not plough the land and do not raise the fields, and accept others to worship? Could it be that your Buddhism is supreme, so it should be? ”

Xuanzang hurriedly defended, "Your Highness, don't worry, Buddhism has land and farming, so I don't dare to waste it." ”

"Land? Why does Buddhism have land? Didn't you say that the four major Buddhist gates are empty? ”

"Relying on ......"

Could it be that it is just by virtue of saving the driver?

It is undeniable that Buddhism did help Li Shimin, but only helped.

They did not accompany Li Shimin to fight the world, Li Shimin has already returned to Buddhism, if he is not satisfied, I am afraid that the catastrophe is just around the corner.

"The four major Buddhas are empty, but what about the golden Buddha statues in the temple? Xuanzang, do you know that in recent years, how much of the world has been occupied by Buddhism? ”

"Poor monks don't know ......"

The suspicion of Buddhism itself made Xuanzang unable to speak hard in front of Li Fangchen at all, and he was humble when he spoke.

Because of the identity of King Qin, even if Xuanzang is dissatisfied in his heart, he can only hold back.

The King of Qin is the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, and the Buddha Gate is the Buddha Gate of the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, they are all the branches and leaves that survive under the giant tree of the Tang Dynasty, and the branches of King Qin are far thicker than those of Buddhism.

Without Buddhism, Datang is still Datang.

Without the King of Qin, the emperor's wrath will definitely ask the Buddha to accompany the burial.

Against the King of Qin, Buddhism can't get half of the benefits at all.

Don't look at the people of the Tang Dynasty who have a lot of respect for the Buddha on weekdays, but if King Qin takes the lead in hating Buddhism, he is afraid that Buddhism will last for only a year, and he will be completely scolded by the people.

Because he is the king of Qin, the king of Qin who is immortal.

"Eating the grain planted by the people of the Tang Dynasty, relying on the mountains and rivers protected by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Your Buddhism doesn't see the duties that the Tang people should have, you come to tell the king, isn't your Buddhism still a country within a country? ”

The alarm bell rang, Xuanzang took three steps back, couldn't speak, and spit out a mouthful of blood directly.

Li Fangchen's serious expression did not decrease, and he got up and asked, "Your Buddha Gate, Tang Locust!" How are you? ”

sat down in a panic, and Xuanzang finally understood that the Journey to the West written by His Royal Highness was, in a fundamental sense, to tell Buddhism.

Buddhism is not irreplaceable!

"Your Highness, how can I let go of the Buddha Gate?"

Let? Li Fangchen sat down again, his expression returned to normal, and he took a sip of tea, "You should ask, what can your Buddha do for Datang?" ”

Do what? Where does Xuanzang know what to do?

Preach doctrine and edify all nations?

I'm afraid that as soon as this excuse is said, the person in front of him will have to use the knife.

"The Buddha came from the west, and he was not born and raised in the Central Plains, and his teachings are also contrary to the lives of the people of my Tang Dynasty. The so-called bliss of rebirth, in fact, you and I both know it, is a lie. But the point is that Buddhism should show its usefulness, otherwise this king doesn't mind eliminating Buddhism and supporting Taoism, or a completely new sect! ”

The Buddha said that sentient beings are suffering, is it possible that sentient beings should pursue bliss?

If so, how can a Buddha exist? Where are the people?

Eating incense money, and in the end doing the Buddha remorse?

Religion and imperial power are not mutually reinforcing.

The Tang Dynasty of Buddhism is the result that Li Fangchen really wants.

Today's Buddhism is not perfect, and it can even be said to be full of flaws.

Originally, Li Fangchen didn't think about finding trouble with Buddhism, but it's no wonder that Xuanzang bumped into him headlong and threw himself into the net, could it be that Li Fangchen would let go of such a great opportunity?

"Your Highness, how can Buddhism save itself? Is there still a way out? Xuanzang stood up again, his eyes full of determination.

All these things just now may be the test of the Buddha.

With the help of King Qin, the Buddhism was reorganized, so that the Buddhism could regain its foothold and avoid many obstacles.

Reciting Buddhist scriptures silently in his heart, Xuanzang has already decided that as long as His Royal Highness King Qin speaks, he will do his best to support Buddhism.

As long as the support of His Royal Highness King Qin can be exchanged, Buddhism will save a lot of trouble.

"Self-help? Naturally, you Buddhism has to pay the price, don't you even understand this? ”

"When the little monk leaves, he will arrange it, but I don't know how much His Highness wants the Buddha to pay?"

"This king? What does this king want you to do at the cost of Buddhism? It should be said, how much can you pay for your Buddhism in order to save yourself! ”

King Qin didn't want to make it clear, and Xuanzang didn't dare to force it, so he had to choose to retreat.

He needed enough time to calm down, get out of Qinwangzhuang, and return to Daxiangguo Temple.

The first thing Xuanzang did was to find the abbot and discuss the matter with the senior brothers.

At first, the mages didn't care about this, but they were just King Qin, and they weren't saints.

Until Xuanzang asked, "Buddhism, but a country?" ”

The more they learned, the more scared they became.

"This is the catastrophe of my Buddhism, Xuanzang, do you have a way to crack it?"

Xuanzang hesitated again and again, "Statistics of all the monasteries in the world, all the monks who have not seen Guandu Wenmu will be expelled." ”

"But this ......"

"It's nothing, Buddhism can't grow stronger, what Buddha needs is the faith of the people, not the number of Buddhist monks!"

I don't know if I don't check, and when I check Xuanzang, I can't help but be afraid in my heart.

In the monasteries near Chang'an alone, there are more than 80,000 monks who have not been sent by the court to prove their identities.

Such a powerful force that even the Buddha Sect itself does not know.

There are also many fake monks who have been ordained, and they follow the name of the Buddha all day long and do deceitful things.

After Xuanzang knew about this, he was very happy in his heart, fortunately he found it early, if it was a period of time, Buddhism would really be bad!
