Chapter 37 Shanlin Zen Temple

Li Shimin had calmed down at this time, and now Li Tang had just founded the country, only occupying a quarter of the world, surrounded by foreign enemies, as well as Dou Jiande who occupied Hebei, Wang Shichong and Li Mi in the Central Plains, and the princes in all parts of the Jiangnan were not destroyed, and they were in the period of fighting the world.

And he himself is only the king of Qin of Li Tang, not even the crown prince, and the concubine Xuan actually asked him and Xuanba about the way to be a king. If the news spreads, not only will the eldest brother Li Jiancheng be dissatisfied, but even his father will be wary of him.

However, He's Bi is very important to Li Tang, if he doesn't answer this question, Li Tang may not have a chance with the heirloom jade seal. Therefore, Li Shimin frowned and said: "The so-called way of being a king, first of all, we must appoint the virtuous and select the able, otherwise no matter how good the national policy is, it will not be implemented by anyone and the law, and everything will be in vain!

Concubine Xuan nodded slightly, but did not make an evaluation, but asked Gao Cheng, "I don't know what kind of opinion King Zhao has?"

Gao Cheng smiled, he once became the founding ancestor of the founding of the country in the Yitian world, and he divided a county in the Three Kingdoms world, preparing to annex the world, and naturally had opinions on the way to govern the country. But there is no need to talk to the concubine at this time.

He said lightly: "I don't have any opinions on the way to be a king, but I just get a sentence occasionally! The so-called son of heaven is for those who are strong and strong! There is no strength in his hands, and no matter how clever the way of being a king, there is no place for it!"

Shi Fei Xuan, Li Shimin, and Xu Ziling all frowned when they heard this, feeling that although what he said was the most reasonable thing in the world, it was very inconsistent with his own heart.

The concubine sighed: "King Zhao's words have fallen into hegemony, governing the world needs a royal way, tyrannical Qin governs the world with hegemony, but the second died, and now Yang Guanggang is stubborn for his own use, with hegemonic means, building palaces, building canals, three expeditions to Goryeo, losing people's hearts, leading to chaos in the world, these are all lessons from the past!"

Gao Cheng said lightly: "The Han family has its own system, and it is supposed to be a tyrant, but it is purely a moral religion and a Zhou Zhenghu!"

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and Li Shimin showed a wry smile on his face, he didn't expect his third brother and Jingzhai's master fairy to be so-for-tat, do you want to pass on the jade seal of the country?

Shi Fei Xuan didn't know how to refute at this time, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was the Ming monarch in the history books, and the Han Dynasty reached its heyday in his hands, what Gao Cheng said just now was the national policy of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to govern the country, and whoever refutes this sentence is tantamount to disagreeing with Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's martial arts.

And Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's martial arts are brilliant in the annals of history, how can it be questioned casually?

At this time, Xu Ziling was upset when he heard it on the side, he was not interested in the general trend of the world and the way of being a king, so he immediately stood up and said: "The third son, Brother Shimin, and the master fairy, you continue to talk, and the younger brother will leave first if he has something!"

Then Xu Ziling strode away, and only Gao Cheng, Li Shimin and Shi Feixuan were left in the tavern.

Gao Cheng smiled, interrupted everyone's silence, and said: "Shi Fairy, I have no intention of the world, there is the eldest brother and the second brother here, I can't be the emperor, just now it was just a personal opinion! Even if you want to use domineering to poison the world, I'm afraid I don't have this opportunity!"

"By the way, I heard that He's Bi was stored in the Jingnian Zen Temple outside Luoyang City by the fairy, I wonder if I will have the opportunity to see this eternal treasure and satisfy my curiosity?"

Concubine Xuan's heart shook again, after coming to the tavern, she had been shaken by Gao Cheng one after another, which made her heart a little unstable.

After she came to Luoyang, she entrusted the Heshi Bi to Master Likong of the Jingnian Monastery, and no one knew about this matter except for her and many senior monks of the Zen Temple. Unexpectedly, he was broken by Li Xuanba in front of him again.

Concubine Xuan sighed softly and said, "If King Zhao promises that he will never snatch it in the Zen Academy, Concubine Xuan can agree!"

Gao Cheng smiled: "Then I will thank the master fairy, the second brother and the fairy continue to talk, I will go to the Zen temple first to see what this eternal treasure looks like!"

After speaking, Gao Cheng's figure suddenly disappeared from the tavern, leaving only a phantom that gradually dissipated.

In the mountains and forests outside the city, Gao Cheng stood on a big tree and looked forward from afar, only to see a majestic Zen temple located at the foot of the mountain, the reason why this Zen temple is described as majestic is because it is too big, and the surrounding walls are solid, just like a small city.

If you look at it on the flat ground, because the temple is deep in the forest, you think that there are only a few large halls, and only when you stand on the tops of the big trees, there are no trees blocking it, and you know that the buildings in the temple add up to hundreds.

Each hall is made of skilled craftsmen, especially the middle hall made of pure copper, which is even more breathtaking.

"Jingnian Zen Temple, it's really rich and rivals the country! Just this bronze hall is worth hundreds of millions! These are the money of Buddhist believers!" Gao Cheng sighed.

Buddhism has both advantages and disadvantages, allowing the people to place their faith, obey the management of the emperor and the government, and pin their hopes on the next life to eliminate possible rebellions.

The disadvantage is that as a religious belief, if you are not careful, you will override the imperial power, and if ordinary people really pin their hopes on the next life, they will dedicate their lifelong wealth to the Buddha, and let the temples dedicated to the Buddha become the place where the wealth of the world is collected.

Since the two Jin Dynasty, the world is in turmoil, the Great Sui has dominated the world for more than 30 years, so many years of chaos, Buddhism has become a place where the people of the world place their pain, and it continues to prosper. The wealth amassed is enough for any emperor to covet.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was eloquent and strategic, and he couldn't bear to do anything to Buddhism and issued a ban on Buddhism. As a result, he died young, and Jiangshan Sheji was seized by Yang Jian, who was supported by Buddhism.

"In other words, from ancient times to the present, there has only been the destruction of Buddha, and I have never heard of the way of extermination!"

Gao Cheng secretly thought to himself that there were several famous Buddha exterminations in history, and the most famous one was the Three Martial Arts and One Sect. If only one person destroys the Buddha, it may be that this person is cruel and does not tolerate Buddhism, but all four people destroy the Buddha, and these people are all famous in the history books, then it is a problem of Buddhism.

Among these four people, Emperor Taiwu and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were both Hu people. Even the Hu people have attacked Buddhism, which can be seen.

Gao Cheng put away his complicated thoughts, jumped to the door of the Zen temple, bursts of Sanskrit chanting sounds, melodious from the courtyard came, echoing in the mountains and forests, mountains and forests, Zen temples, it seems quite Zen.

When he came to the door, Gao Cheng stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. Since Concubine Xuan had agreed to let him watch He's Bi, there was no need for him to hide his figure. Just come to the door in the open.
