Chapter 600: It's a monk
Just when the turtle slave was pulling with the man, he suddenly accidentally pulled the man's clothes open.
After the clothes were pulled open, several gold cakes fell from the man.
The gold cake is very sufficient, and if it is exchanged for copper coins, it will cost hundreds of dollars.
Everyone never thought that such a rich man would keep saying that he had no money, and he would not give money after consumption.
For people who pretend to be poor like this, everyone despises them even more.
The gold cake fell, and the man was in a hurry to pick it up, but was kicked away by a turtle slave.
", these are the fees you're going to pay tonight."
The man was kicked away by the turtle slave and fell to the ground, and then his turban fell apart.
The headscarves were scattered, and everyone was stunned again.
"Monk, it's actually a monk?"
"I'll go, the monk is so rich?"
"Hehe, don't look at the monk's fate, but the monk is really rich, and the land of the temple is more than that of a prince......"
"Whose monk is this?"
“…………”
Everyone talked about it, but the monk was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about the golden cakes, so he hurriedly ran out, and everyone looked at the monk and couldn't help but laugh again.
Such an interesting story happened in the jewels, and this interesting story soon became the talk of the people of Chang'an City, as well as the content of gossip.
The next day, almost all the people of Chang'an City knew about a monk who went to the Qinglou with a golden cake, and the key was that the monk still refused to pay.
The news spread more and more, and in addition to making fun of the monk, everyone was more shocked by the amount of gold cakes on him.
And with curiosity, the property of some monasteries is naturally concerned by everyone, and everyone is a little smacking their tongues after paying attention.
"When I went, the temple was so rich, and every time I went to offer incense, I gave them back the incense money."
"Alas, how ...... that I, a poor man, should go to help the rich I deserve to be poor. ”
"Seeing that the monastery is so rich, I have an urge to rob the monastery."
"Phew, I want to be a monk......"
The remarks spread more and more, and after Qin Tian saw these situations, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that he was about to make a move and propose control of the temple in the court.
And just as he was facing up early that day, before Qin Tian could speak, Wei Zheng was the first to stand up.
"Holy Lord, the minister has his own music."
Li Shimin was a little jealous of Wei Zheng, and every time Wei Zheng stood up, he was a little scared.
"What is Wei Aiqing going to do?"
"Shengshang, there was an incident in Chang'an City recently, a monk actually carried a lot of gold cakes to the Qinglou, after hearing about it, the minister was very sad, my Datang is now empty of the treasury, it is the time to use money, even the saint and the queen are tightly clothed and fed, the monk actually carried hundreds of gold cakes to the Qinglou to play, it is really ...... It's heartbreaking. ”
Wei Zheng said two heartaches in a row, and he didn't know if he was running out of words or really heartbroken, but after he said this, the people in the court were also very indignant after hearing it.
Those of them who are officials don't dare to take the gold cake to the Qinglou to consume, a monk, how can He De go to the Qinglou to play with girls?
When Li Shimin heard Wei Zheng say this, his heart suddenly became happy, it seems that Qin Tian doesn't need to come out of this matter, someone will help him, this is a good thing.
However, Li Shimin also knows that if he offends Buddhism, only people like Wei Zheng who are not afraid of death dare to stand up, and others will not dare to see it even if they are not used to it.
Of course, before Wei Zheng entered Wagangzhai, he was a Taoist priest, a Taoist priest and a monk are two families, and Wei Zheng is naturally very willing to do the thing that a bald donkey does not die and a poor Tao.
There was already a little bit of discussion in the court, Qin Tian stood in front of the main hall, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Wei Zheng was here, and continued.
"Holy Lord, these monks, abandon the monarch and the minister, go to the father and son, forbid and raise each other, in order to seek their so-called pure and extinguished, it is really a betrayal of the ethical outline, like this year without the monarch and the minister, there is no father and son love things exist, it will only make my Tang Dynasty weaker and weaker, the minister thinks, when the Buddha is destroyed, all the temples in the world are demolished."
The word "destroy the Buddha" came out, and there was a sudden uproar in the entire hall.
It's too big.
If you just talk about it, pay attention to it, and don't think there's anything, but if you want to destroy the Buddha, the people involved are not just monasteries and monks, but also many believers.
This incident is likely to make Datang, which has just stabilized, fall into turmoil again.
It's just that although everyone talked about it, no one stood up against it.
It has nothing to do with them.
Taoism is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, and most of these officials believe in Taoism, and there are not many people who believe in Buddhism, but more of them still don't believe in anything.
Huaxia doesn't have any faith, whoever can give them benefits, they will believe in it.
When monks can be fed and clothed, they will become monks, and when Taoist priests can gain the trust and support of the imperial court, then they will become Taoist priests, and monks can become Taoist priests, and Taoist priests can also become monks.
Everything they do is just to survive.
No one will get involved in some monasteries, unless they are very sincere believers, but most of those who can enter the court and become officials have grown up under Confucianism, and they really don't have so much reverence for Buddha.
The only people who can be ignorant are those who have no culture.
Wei Zheng said in the court, talking about the expansion of the temple and many other situations, and the words he said were exactly what Qin Tian and Li Shimin said before.
Monasteries do not have to pay taxes, do not have to do labor, they occupy a lot of fertile land and land, have a lot of money, and also have a lot of population, these will become things that hinder the development of the Tang Dynasty.
So, it must be completely destroyed.
Wei Zheng's words were vicious and domineering, and between his words, there was a direct drive of Buddhism out of the Tang Dynasty, so that there was no temple in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Qin Tian listened to this, his brows condensed, everything, don't use too much force, the existence of anything has its own reason, if these temples don't occupy the resources of the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing for them to exist, as long as they hand over the money, land and population.
Wei Zheng is a little too extreme.
Qin Tian secretly scolded in his heart, if he wanted to do this according to Wei Zheng, he would have to make a big incident.
However, although he felt that Wei Zheng's proposal was problematic and not feasible, Qin Tian did not rush to stand up and refute it, some things, there is no need to rush, with comparison, it is easier to implement.
Let's see the reaction first.
Wei Zheng was alone, and he said in the main hall.
