National Teacher Qi Hui said to Xue Lin and Pei Kuan's ears:

"Poor Dao wants to ask the two adults to make a statement to Your Majesty and carry out the matter of destroying the Buddha!" As soon as they heard the words of the national teacher Qihui, Xue Lin and Pei Kuan were shocked into a cold sweat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"National teacher, this matter, this matter is very important, so, so ......" Xue Lin and Pei Kuan's worries are also reasonable, although some people in the Buddhist family have supported the Qin King Li Shimin's war to seize the heir - the matter of the thirteen stick monks of the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan Province to save the Tang King, it is difficult to guarantee that this matter is not in Li Jiancheng's heart, but on the one hand, Li Jiancheng has not yet expressed his position on this matter; On the other hand, Empress Zheng Wanzhen and Concubine Yang Yan are both Buddhists. It's hard to say, Li Jiancheng's non-statement is influenced by the harem, since ancient times, the harem has connected the court, Xue Lin and Pei Kuan dare not think that their connections and strength can compete with the Hongnong Yang family and the Rongyang Zheng family, if Li Jiancheng does not support him, Xue Lin and Pei Kuan can think of it. At that time, if there is any turmoil, even Pei Lin and Zhang Jieyu will not be able to protect themselves. Xue Lin and Pei Kuan have always rejected the national teacher Qihui, for fear of causing a storm. Of course, Qi Hui knew the abacus in Xue Lin and Pei Kuan's hearts, and knew that Pei Kuan and Xue Lin felt that this matter was very important, so they opened a few boxes in a hurry - only to see that the boxes brought by Qi Hui were yellow, orange, orange, and shiny. It's all gold. When Xue Lin and Pei Kuan saw those shining gold, their hearts had already been hooked away by these things. But I still didn't dare to take it. Daoist Qihui knew Xue Lin and Pei Kuan's thoughts, and continued to bewitch:

"Two adults, this is just the alms that you two have given to the poor Taoist temple over the years. It's just that Poor Dao thinks that these things are too valuable, so Poor Dao doesn't return these. "Because the major families in Chang'an knew that Li Yuan believed in Taoism, they often gave alms to Chang'an Louguan over the years. However, the box that I wanted to be in was at least two thousand taels, and Xue Lin and Pei Kuan were still shocked.

"This ...... That's just too much. National Teacher Qihui said with a smile:

"Ugh! What the poor Dao is talking about is the charity that the two of you have given to the poor Taoist temple over the years. Poor Dao just felt that these things were too valuable, so he returned them. It's like borrowing, now it's just borrowing money to pay it back! Don't shirk the two adults, take it! Under the bewitchment of the national teacher Qihui Dao Chang, Xue Lin and Pei Kuan accepted two thousand taels of gold. When Li Jiancheng mentioned to Xue Lin and Pei Kuan that the grain shortage in Guanzhong had not been solved, and that Li Tang's currency system was chaotic and wanted to mint new coins to reform Li Tang's currency, Xue Lin and Pei Kuan took the opportunity to say that Li Jian's practice of letting Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong completely destroy Buddhism. However, Li Jiancheng did not fully express his position. It also made Xue Lin and Pei Kuan feel bottomless. The eunuch who was close to the palace in Western Europe received that Xue Lin and Pei Kuan had made a statement to Li Jiancheng and that Li Jiancheng wanted to reform the Li Tang currency system, and immediately thought that Li Tang would be the dominant Taoist family in the future, and immediately drank a little wine happily, waiting for that day - since Buddhism entered Middle-earth, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has always existed, Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth, and the defenders of traditional culture thought that Buddhism came from India and was the religion of Yidi, thinking that Yidi's culture was low and inferior to that of China, so it should not be believed. The second is that the Huayi region is different, and it proves that the east is the wood in the preface of Laozi, which belongs to the yang and is the place where the Tao comes out; The west is gold, yin, and is born of the Buddha. Yang respects yin and inferiority, so Taoism is superior to Buddhism. The three are based on the different races between the Chinese and the Yi, the Yi people originally believed in Buddhism, and the Chinese did not believe in Buddhism. Fourth, the inflow of Buddhism into Middle-earth should not be believed because it leads to the decline and chaos of the country. Since the beginning of Taoism, Buddhism came to the east, and there were many places to use each other in the early days, because the two marked the same purpose. At the beginning of the introduction of Buddhism, the translation of Tianzhu into Chinese characters, the Taoist literal meaning was used, and later Taoism also used Buddhist teachings. However, Taoism clashed with the import of Buddhism to Middle-earth because of the increasing number of believers. The controversy between Buddhism and Taoism lasted from the Han, Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a religious conflict, the rise and fall of the two are inseparable from the emperor's love and hatred, and the result is that the powerful one is more likely to win, and the loser will suffer the doom of destruction. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was first seen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Kasemorteng argued with the Taoist priests; During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi criticized the deceit of the gods and goddesses in his 'arguments of Taoism'; during the Western Jin Dynasty, there was also a dispute between Bo Yuan and the Taoist priest Wang Fu, and Wang Fu made 'Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing', which was an important material for the debate in later generations; however, after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Kou Qian, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, opened up a new way of the Heavenly Master, and made it a national religion, and established a religious order of Taoism; Lu Xiujing of the Southern Song Dynasty and Tao Hongjing of Liang systematically organized the teaching and the collation of Taoist classics, and the influence on the society was also relatively increased, which was enough to compete with Buddhism. In the third year of the Song and Ming Emperors of the Southern Dynasty (467), the Taoist priest Gu Huan wrote the Yixia Treatise, which led to the Ming monk Shao's Theory of the Two Teachings, and Huitong wrote the refutation of the Taoist Yixia Treatise on the doctrine of Yixia and the law of Zhang Rong, advocating that Taoism and Buddhism should be the same, and that Taoism should be the foundation and Buddhism should be the trace, and that Taoism should be superior.

In the Northern Dynasty, in the first year of Emperor Zhengguang of Xiaoming (520), there was also a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the palace, that is, Jiang Bin, a Taoist priest of the Qing Taoist Temple, and the Shamen of Rongjue Temple, with the birth of Lao Tzu and the Buddha as the subject of the debate, and as a result of the debate, Jiang Bin was broken and exiled to Mayi. Prior to this, Zhen Luanzhi's "Treatise on Laughter" and Dao'an's "Theory of the Two Teachings" were important treatises on the debate on the merits of Buddhism and Taoism at that time. However, in the Northern Dynasties, the struggle of Buddhism and Taoism was not only a dispute between the two sides, but also a policy oppression by those in power, and the destruction of Buddhism by Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. These are just literal assertions, in the time of the Wuhu Chaohua, the Manjushri Taoist and the Fuxian Taoist of Emei Mountain in Wutai Mountain, Hedong, and the Cihang Taoist people in Hainan were stolen by the Buddhists in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and became the Wenzhu Bodhisattva, Fuxian Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva in Buddhism, and there were also Burning Lamp Daoists and their seventeen disciples became the eighteen ancient Buddhas of Buddhism. was originally the founding successor of Taoism, but he became a Buddha and a Bodhisattva of Buddhism. This incident has always stimulated every Taoist disciple.

"Master, the apprentice must work hard for my Taoist family to return to the world and monopolize Middle Earth." Shaolin Temple, Henan, Shaolin presided over the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Daoxin in the Zen room, and discussed with all Zen masters from all over the country:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now, I'm afraid that the catastrophe of my Buddhist family is coming again." At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yu Wen Yong reigned, when Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty built three years, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism Hui Ke was serving as the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and Emperor Wu Yu Wen Yong issued an edict to destroy the Buddha and Taoism, destroy the scriptures and Buddha statues, remove the sand gate and Taoist priests, and order the people to be returned; The three treasures of fortune were scattered to the ministers, and the temple was given to the prince. He also ordered 10,000 forbidden troops to go to Shaolin Temple to force Patriarch Hui Ke to take the lead in exercising his will. Who knows that there are more than 1,000 Shaolin monks, which one listens to the order? This angered the forbidden officers and soldiers, and surrounded the Shaolin Temple. Who knows that the Shaolin monks are all strong in martial arts, although there are many officers and soldiers, who is the opponent? Within a few rounds, the officers and men hugged their heads and ran away. Hui Ke ordered the monks to quickly hide the scriptures and Buddha statues, close the mountain gate, and escape for their lives, and leave with them. I don't want another team of people to kill back and forth, and surround Hui Ke and another Tanlin monk, wanting to be captured, the situation is very dangerous. At this moment, a monk jumped out of the Shaolin Temple with a "whoosh" and shouted: "Master is panicking, and the disciple is coming!" Holding a wind and fire stick in his hand, he resisted left and right, flying up and down, and all the officers and soldiers did not dare to approach. He took advantage of the situation to open a way for the master to survive, and persuaded the master to leave quickly and not worry about anything else. Patriarch Hui Ke didn't have time to ask for the name of the life-saving monk, so he used light skills, flew out of the encirclement, and ran south. The monk was secretly happy to see that the master had broken out of the encirclement. Since he had no intention of fighting, he also got up and chased after Hui Ke Patriarch. In fact, the person who saved the master from fire and water was the head monk of the Shaolin Temple Zhaitang - the later three ancestors of Zen Buddhism. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty was extinguished, Emperor Wen of Sui was raised by the gods and nuns because of his growth and Buddhist temples, so he ordered the restoration of Buddhism, so Buddhism slowly flourished, and repeatedly issued edicts to build Buddhist temples, establish pagodas, widely cultivate Buddha, widely practice Buddhist monks, and widely do Buddhist things. The three ancestors of Zen Buddhism slowly came out of the mountain. Subsequently, I don't know how many twists and turns I have experienced, and it is passed on to the four ancestors. As the Taishan Beidou of Buddhism and the head of contemporary Zen Buddhism, Daoxin naturally knows the responsibility on his shoulders.

"Master Four Patriarchs, now our Buddhism may have another catastrophe, at the beginning, in order to keep the foundation of our Buddhism, participate in the royal battle, and support the King of Qin to make a great contribution to the battle of Luoyang, but forget the teachings of the Buddha, the Buddhists only need to chant the scriptures in the door, do not participate in secular affairs, who knows, one wrong step, one wrong step!"

"Master, should we communicate with the queen mother and the concubine in the palace now, since ancient times, the harem court is a family, should you let the two mothers come forward and let Your Majesty fight the idea of destroying the Buddha." The fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, Daoxin, hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"No! This matter has been involved in the court, but it cannot be involved in the harem again, if it causes greater disgust in His Majesty's heart, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses! ”

"What should we do, Master?"

"From this seat, we only have four words."

"Please master to solve your doubts!" The four patriarchs of Zen Buddhism, Daoxin, spit out four words from his mouth - "Wait and see what happens!" When the monks present heard Master Daoxin, the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, say this, they were all at a loss. Just when the monks were about to continue to ask the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism, the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism closed their eyes and did not say a word. The monks had no choice but to shut up. A few days later, Li Jiancheng issued an imperial list, which read: "Buddhism is vast, it is inevitable that the mud and sand will fall, and the fish and dragons are mixed, I decided to order the world to take the entrance examination of Buddhism, limited to those who have entered Buddhism for more than three years, if they have been in Buddhism for three years, but can not pass the examination, they have no intention of Buddhism, and they will be returned to the world immediately, and those who pass the examination will be notified to the capital by the local government, and after the re-examination, the Ministry of Rites of the capital will issue it on the reading disc, which indicates the common name of the monk before he became a monk and the Dharma name after he became a monk." Stay in Buddhism to practice, admire this. And next to the imperial list, the names of more than a dozen conventional scriptures were also indicated, and after this imperial list came out, it sparked popular discussions, but many Buddhist disciples agreed.

"If after three years, you can't even recite more than a dozen regular scriptures, you are really a disciple of Buddhism." After the emperor list was posted, the Taoist disciples celebrated loudly, thinking that from now on Middle-earth would be the monopoly of Taoism, and there were even places where Taoist priests entered the house, destroyed Buddha statues, and forcibly changed Buddhist temples to Taoist temples. Who knows how long the Taoist disciples were not happy, Li Jiancheng issued an order - the Taoists also acted according to this example. The national teacher Qihui immediately entered the palace to meet Li Jiancheng, who knew that he was stopped by Li Jiancheng's personal eunuch Mingyu Gonggong at the door:

"Father-in-law, Poor Dao has an urgent matter and wants to see Your Majesty! Please let my father-in-law know! Mingyu's father-in-law said coldly to the national teacher Qihui Dao Chang:

"National teacher, if you are not a small slave, I will not inform the national teacher, it is really Your Majesty's decree, and the national teacher must not be let in!"

"Father-in-law, why is that?" Mingyu's father-in-law directly handed the national teacher Qihui a book of excerpts:

"National teacher, this is what Your Majesty asked the little slave to give to you, and also asked the little slave to pass a word to the national teacher instead of Your Majesty!"

"Oh! What did Your Majesty say? ”

"Your Majesty only said four words to the little slave, so that I could do it myself. Please feel for yourself, little slave, I will leave first. After speaking, Mingyu's father-in-law left, and after the national teacher Qihui opened the book, he saw that it was written:

"On April 17 of the first year of Yongshuo, the national teacher Qihui Daochang summoned Xue Lin, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Pei Kuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in Louguan in casual clothes late at night, and held a secret meeting to discuss the destruction of Buddha!" After seeing the content on the recital, as well as Li Jiancheng's words to let the National Teacher Qihui Daoist do it himself, the National Teacher Qihui Daoist broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately kowtowed to Li Jiancheng's dormitory and walked out. After returning to Louguan, he immediately announced that he would retreat and cultivate, and would never ask about mundane things in the world. After Buddhism and Taoism were dealt with by Li Jiancheng's holy decree, the overall quality was greatly improved, and with the banner of Li Tang in the future, it became famous overseas, which is a later story.
