Chapter 71: Building a Sect I

A few days passed.

The sky began to drift with snow-white snow, and overnight the ground was covered with a faint layer of silver.

The news from His Majesty Li Er, of course Li Shen can know.

He didn't expect that being casually teased by him would completely ignite the anger in His Majesty Li Er's heart.

His Majesty Li Er, who was extremely conceited and proud, really couldn't stand the bullying of a prince from a small country on his head.

But in the face of Buddhism, which has now formed a scale, it is indeed not easy for him to completely suppress and eliminate it, but he is a little unwilling! Why is it that a little prince of Fanbang can receive tribute from all the people in the world, but he, as the lord of the world, cannot?

When he called his confidants, he couldn't find the slightest clue no matter how he discussed.

It's not that I can't find it, His Majesty Li Er also knows that these people don't want to say it.

Li Shen sat in the apse of the Xuanzheng Palace, holding a cup of tea in his hand, looking at His Majesty Li Er, who was not very good, and smiled a little speechless in his heart.

People are like that, they never know contentment, even if you have more wealth and no matter how much power you have in your hands.

He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What does my father mean?" ”

"What do you mean, don't you know yourself?" His Majesty Li Er said with a dark face.

"It's a little difficult to do, of course my father and the emperor know what the emperor meant, but if you want to erect the Li family to the altar and enjoy the incense of the people, it is not so easy to do it."

"I only want the result, not the process."

Looking at Li Shen, who was showing some embarrassment, His Majesty Li Er followed: "I hope you can handle this matter as soon as possible." ”

Li Shen glanced at His Majesty Li Er, nodded slightly, and said: "Erchen will also give it a try, as for whether it can be done, Erchen doesn't dare to grasp too much, after all, if you want to establish a sect and push the Li family to the position of the altar, this matter is not easy, you also know this matter." ”

"Of course I do."

"By the way, what are your plans for Buddhism?"

"Extinguish! Let the eldest grandson Chong cooperate in publicity. His Majesty Li Er said coldly.

"What about Taoism?"

"Belong to a new denomination."

Li Shen nodded slightly, stood up, and said, "The minister will go and get busy first, and the minister will let the eldest grandson Chong assist in handling the propaganda matter." ”

"How long?"

"Two or three years!"

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "It's been too long. ”

Li Shen looked at him helplessly, the time to create a sect in two or three years is still short, I really thought that it was so easy to create a new sect, not to mention that it was still an orthodox sect, Li Shen really wanted to mock His Majesty Li Er a few times, and said: "If you don't have enough time, you can't perfect it at all, and you have to have enough credibility, otherwise you won't be able to hide it from everyone at all." ”

"As soon as possible."

Li Shen nodded and said, "Erchen will retire first." ”

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Li Shen explained the matter in detail to Wu Meiniang.

"What do you think?" Li Shen said helplessly, he also has nothing to do for himself, now it's okay, it's not so easy to create a sect, and it is even more difficult to push the royal family to the altar.

Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, put the pen in her hand, looked at Li Shen and said: "To be honest, it is a bit too early for me at present, it is necessary to determine the route of the sect according to the future development of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not just to blindly push the royal family to the position of the altar." ”

After a pause, he said: "Do you have a clear plan for the future development of Datang?" ”

"There is no specific, but the general line is still there, of course, I hope that my children and grandchildren will always be able to lead all the people, but also take into account the actual reasons, with the development of the times, the people's vision is getting wider and wider, and the royal family will definitely make concessions when the time comes, reduce the power in their hands, and in the end, the royal family will almost become a symbol of China.

But Lone also considered that if a new sect was established, it would be strictly controlled, and the power of the royal family in the western kingdom would be hollowed out by the sect. The establishment of the sect is to push the father and the emperor to the position of the altar, and the other is that the sect should be positive, similar to the ideas expounded by Taoism today, and then combine some of the ideas of Buddhism to synthesize their strengths. ”

"Things are a little too cumbersome, not a day or two can be completed, not a few years later, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do." Wu Meiniang frowned.

"Let's take three years to create a complete system of sects."

"With so many people involved, can you keep the secret? Besides, I don't have that much time to get involved in this kind of thing. ”

Li Shen smiled and said: "I know that you are afraid of trouble, and this matter will be handled alone, but the basic development of Datang is still under your control, and I am afraid that Lone will not have time to help you at that time, so it will be a lot of hard work." ”

The vast propaganda work began in earnest, of course, to publicize Buddhism, and at the beginning it was all about how to use ordinary things to tell the background of the whole establishment of Buddhism, which was just a means used by those in power to take advantage of the people, and so on.

On the one hand, with the strong support of His Majesty Li Er, he summoned the great Confucians of the current world to start the work of compiling the scriptures of the new sect.

Li Shen also began to recruit architects from all over the world to design the palace, which was basically built according to the appearance of Journey to the West.

The address of the construction of the palace is located in Mount Tai, of course, it is to take the mode of preparing all the materials properly and assembling them, so that the large buildings that suddenly rise from the ground can also play a mysterious role, and when the time comes, it can be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in cooperation with the propaganda of the imperial court.

Anyway, he had space, almost a football field, and after a few hard work, he was able to transport all the assembled materials to the top of the mountain.

Li Shen also waited for all the building materials to be ready, and then built the entire Heavenly Court as quickly as possible.

The project was so huge that there were 300,000 skilled craftsmen recruited, all of whom did not know what to do, and they were all built according to the size of the scattered drawings.

Because the relationship with His Majesty Li Er was completely eased, and he began to vigorously support Li Shen in many things, basically Wu Meiniang's decision, His Majesty Li Er rarely objected.

Datang has also begun to quickly enter the development time, Chang'an City can be said to be a day of appearance, a new cement buildings have also risen from the ground, but they are all built in accordance with the requirements of Chang'an City.
