Chapter 881: Quarrel
Early the next morning, Li Xiu left home half an hour earlier than usual, and after entering the imperial city in a carriage, he did not go to the financial supervisor, but rushed directly to the Liangyi Palace, when he came to the palace gate, he happened to see Wei Zheng and Fu Yi coming together, the three of them are now grasshoppers on a rope, so they also communicated with each other after meeting.
"Don Ma, today Xiao Yu is clamoring in the morning to abolish our Monk Daolu Division, and severely punish you, the initiator, it is estimated that after he comes, I am afraid that the target of the attack will be on you, and you will have to be more careful then!" Fu Yi finally kindly reminded Li Xiu.
"It doesn't matter, the establishment of the Sangha Daolu Division is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, in just a few months, we have collected how many ill-gotten gains, all of which are the people's fat and people's ointment squeezed by those monks through the opportunity of preaching, in comparison, the amount of land in the hands of these temples is more, for the sake of the world, Your Majesty will not let Xiao Yu and others succeed!" As soon as Fu Yi's words fell, Wei Zheng next to him said in a sonorous tone.
However, although Wei Zheng had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, Li Xiu understood the deeper meaning of his words, which was nothing more than telling Li Xiu that they had collected a large amount of money from the previous attack on Buddhism, and all of this money had gone into the treasury, and then the land of the temple would be confiscated, which was also a huge wealth, and with Li Shimin's character, I am afraid that he would never let go of such a large piece of fat to his mouth.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but label Wei Zheng as a "black-bellied" in his heart, who would have thought that Wei Zheng, who seemed to be upright on the surface, would use this method to strengthen Li Shimin's support for himself?
At that moment, Li Xiu and the three of them chatted while walking, and then entered the Liangyi Hall together, only to see that Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and others had already come here, and they were discussing government affairs together.
As soon as Li Xiu and the three of them sat down, they saw Xiao Yu and several officials also striding into the hall, and when they saw Li Xiu, Wei Zheng, and Fu Yi, their faces also showed a little hostility, especially Xiao Yu's eyes when he looked at Li Xiu, and he was even more fierce with a little disgust, as if Li Xiu was a traitor who brought disaster to the country and the people.
Facing Xiao Yu's unfriendly eyes, Li Xiu smiled, and even his smile had a little pity, although Xiao Yu was not the real murderer who designed to frame him, but he was a pawn used by others, and he was still kept in the dark, thinking that he was still being used as a monkey at such an age, Li Xiu naturally felt a little sympathy for him.
"Okay, since everyone is here, let's talk about the Monk Daolu Division......
Before Li Shimin finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yu stand up with a "rub", and then strode to the hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Buddhism and Taoism were originally to guide people to goodness, so that the people of the world can be educated, but before there was a concubine Li Xiu to discuss the government in vain, and then there were Wei Zheng and Fu Yi to be harsh, with the help of the power of the court to fight the monks, now the number of monks in Chang'an is not one in ten, and the folk atmosphere is also corrupted because of this. Revoke the Monk Daolu Division and severely punish Li Xiu! ”
Don't look at Xiao Yu's age, but this temper is really hot enough, and he doesn't give him the slightest face in front of Li Xiu, and even the monk and Taoist division established by Li Shimin has to be revoked, which is simply to beat Li Shimin's face together, just this courage is not comparable to ordinary people.
"Humph! Xiao Xiang is not dizzy for believing in Buddhism, the monks in those temples gather to make trouble, lend, forcible, occupy land, etc., these are all done by those good monks in your mouth, and they are all well documented, if you don't believe it, go to Chang'an and Wannian County to check, how many people are ruined every year because of the persecution of monks? Fu Yi is about the same age as Xiao Yu, and his temper is also very hot, and he started to attack him personally in the first sentence.
"I don't deny that there are some scum in Buddhism, but most of them are real disciples of Buddhism, they not only promote Buddhism, but also give rice and medicine to the poor people, saving countless people, which is also the main reason why Buddhist believers are all over the world!" Xiao Yu heard Fu Yi's words, but his beard trembled with anger, and he retorted loudly at the moment.
"Hahahaha~, it's just a joke, the real Buddhist disciples can pass our assessment and not even one-tenth, our exam questions are the basic homework of those Buddhist disciples, and they can't even do the basic homework, what kind of face do they have to call themselves Buddhist disciples?" Fu Yi also did not give in, and said loudly to Mai Mang at the moment.
"The topics of the assessment are from your monk and Taoist records, and naturally they are all selected from the side of the door, but now you are beating a rake here, it is simply shameless!" Xiao Yu's face was red and his neck was thick at this time, and he accused Fu Yi again at the moment.
"What are the off-the-shelf questions, those questions are all written by me personally, and even I, a person who does not believe in Buddhism, can answer them, but those Buddhist disciples in your mouth can't answer them, which shows that they usually only care about accumulating wealth and oppressing the people, and they don't put their minds on Buddhism's homework at all, and they naturally want to drive them out of Buddhism!" Fu Yi sneered at the moment and said again.
However, Fu Yi's words are indeed annoying, although he does not believe in Buddhism, but in order to deal with Buddhism, he has already read all the Buddhist classics, not to mention ordinary monks, and even ordinary monks may not be as good as him in the study of Buddhism, but his heart is as strong as iron, and the more he studies Buddhism thoroughly, the more hostile he becomes to Buddhism.
"You ......"
Hearing that Fu Yi was a little nonsense, Xiao Yu's whole body trembled, and he just wanted to refute again, but at this time, he saw Li Shimin suddenly slap the table and said: "Okay, don't quarrel, I came to you today to discuss how to deal with this matter, not to listen to your quarrel!" ”
Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, Fu Yi didn't dare to speak anymore, although Xiao Yu was still angry, but he also knew that Fu Yi had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and he would suffer if he continued to quarrel, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Li Xiu next to him smiled secretly when he saw this, no wonder Xiao Yu has been the prime minister four times in history, it is estimated that it is because of his stinky temper that even the generous Li Shimin can't stand him, but thanks to the fact that he met Li Shimin, otherwise if he met an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid that Xiao Yu would have fallen to the ground long ago.
"Li Xiu, this incident started because of you, do you have anything to say about it?" Li Shimin saw that Xiao Yu and the two finally stopped, and then turned his head to look at Li Xiu and asked.
