"This temple was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty stayed in the South Palace at night, dreaming of a golden man with a height of six zhang and a glow on his head from the west, flying around the palace. On the second day of the www.biquge.info, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty told the ministers about this dream, and Dr. Fu Yi said that "there is a god in the West, called Buddha, just like His Majesty dreamed." After hearing this, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent more than ten people such as ministers Cai Yin and Qin Jing to envoy to the Western Regions to ask for Buddhist scriptures and Buddhism.

In the tenth year of Yongping, two senior monks were invited to return to Luoyang, the capital of the country with white horses carrying Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues together with Cai, Qin and other envoys. Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty was very happy to see the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, and was extremely polite to the two monks and personally received them.

In the eleventh year of Yongping, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty decreed the construction of a monastery in the north of the imperial road in Luoyang, which was three miles outside the Xiyong Gate. In commemoration of the White Horse Sutra, it was named "White Horse Temple". “

Walking in the secluded White Horse Temple, the little monk who was responsible for leading the way explained pretended to be a little monk and told the little princesses about the origin of the White Horse Temple, and behind them hung the listless Wu Yuanqing.

Li Shimin finally knew about the Goguryeo people buying a large amount of grain, Wu Yuanqing didn't say it himself, but Hanjia Cang, who was questioned by him sharply, Cangcheng was afraid to go to the emperor to defend himself.

After being called over by the emperor and reprimanded, Wu Yuanqing learned that the emperor already knew about the situation, and he also knew why Goguryeo bought grain.

It is true that Goguryeo did not have much food in the country, and they bought grain to prepare for war, but their target was not the Tang Dynasty, but Silla, which was also a subject country.

And at present, Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, has not yet made up his mind whether to go to war, so he is just preparing for a rainy day, and it is not clear when the fight will start, it may be a month, it may be a year or two, or it may be four or five years.

No one can say for sure. Just like Datang and Tubo, who would have thought that because of the matter of marrying a princess or not, Tubo would invade brazenly, and Datang fought back fiercely without even thinking about it.

In the same way, just like before the First World War, who would have thought that an ordinary Serbian national day would be assassinated, and the assassination of the heir to the Austro-Crarian throne, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, would cause Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, and thus cause the First World War that swept half the world.

Many times, things happen with a very fortuitous and sudden beginning.

However, since Goguryeo's target is not Datang, Wu Yuanqing has no interest in paying attention.

The little monk in front is still telling the princesses about the long history of the White Horse Temple, what is the translation of the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" in the White Horse Temple is the first Chinese translation of the Buddhist scriptures in the history of the Han people, what after these two how many Western monks have been to the White Horse Temple, and how many Buddhist scriptures have been translated by these monks.

Later, the first Chinese character Buddhist scriptures and Chinese character precepts were born, and the first Han monks and so on and so forth.

Anyway, the meaning that the little monk wants to express is summarized that our White Horse Temple is very awesome, and it is terrible. We are the ancestral court of all Buddhist temples in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism took root in the Han Dynasty is in our White Horse Temple, and the branches and leaves are still in our White Horse Temple, and other temples are separated from our White Horse Temple.

For the little monk to advocate Buddhism and the White Horse Temple, Wu Yuanqing was very unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help muttering, what a cow breaks, there are a few people who know your White Horse Temple in later generations, and everyone knows the most is whether the Shaolin Temple is good or not.

Shaolin Temple everyone knows a lot and is not because of any Buddhism, but because of the so-called kung fu, what world martial arts out of Shaolin, what Tibetan Scripture Pavilion seventy-two stunts.

The little monk's crackling explanation, not only Wu Yuanqing doesn't like to listen, in fact, there are few little princesses who like to listen, because they are all surnamed Li, and their Li Tang royal family admits that they are the descendants of Laozi Li Er, the ancestor of Taoism, so Taoism is the state religion, and it is also what they should believe.

However, like almost the vast majority of Han people, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

Li Tang royal family these people do not have any firm beliefs, Taoism they also believe, Buddhism they also believe, anyway, I want to find the gods to pray, whether it is a temple or a Taoist temple, they will go, if it is okay, they will not run to any temple.

Let the princesses understand how Buddhism came about, they are all not interested, and the purpose of their visit to the White Horse Temple is not to listen to lectures, but to be lively and active.

After seeing the Buddha halls such as the Tianwang Hall, the Great Buddha Hall, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Receiving Hall, and the Pilu Pavilion, as well as the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, which is said to contain many Buddhist scriptures translated by the great masters of the past dynasties, there is nothing to see in the White Horse Temple.

After Wu Yuanqing took the princesses to eat in a restaurant, he walked around the street for more than an hour and then went home.

Luoyang, located in the Central Plains, because it is a plain area, the temperature rises faster than Chang'an, which is next to the Qinling Mountains.

It was dawn at about five o'clock in the morning, which was in his hometown of Jinyang, Hedong, Wu Yuanqing felt that this time should be the coolest time of the day, and he could feel a little hot in Chang'an. But when you put it in Luoyang, it turned out that the sun was hot and red in the east, and it was as hot as noon, and it could be sunburned in the morning.

One day it was too hot, Wu Yuanqing got up early in the morning, got up as soon as it was dawn, and said that it was still early at this time, it was cool to go outside, and when the sun rose, he would hide back in the house and fan it.

As a result, I didn't feel it when I first went out, and when I left the barrier of the palace and came to the gate of the palace that was not far away, it was just more than ten minutes, and the sun completely rose and appeared in the eastern sky, and then the heat wave swept Wu Yuanqing, and it felt like standing in the sun at noon in Chang'an.

It's as hot as Chang'an at noon on dog days, and once it's hot, you have nowhere to hide.

The place where you can block the sun is not so painful in the sun, but the temperature on the body has not changed at all, which is like on the Loess Plateau, as long as you find a place where the sun can't get the sun in the summer, you can suddenly feel a lot cooler, and even some places where the sun can't shine for a long time still make you feel cold.

On such a hot day, Wu Yuanqing couldn't wait to get out of a big wooden barrel filled with cold water. Among the accompanying officers, some people asked Li Shimin to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen.

Well, Wu Yuanqing thinks it's just a pout, an idle egg hurts to mess around with things.

But in the eyes of those ministers, Feng Chan is a serious matter, now the government is harmonious, the people have no worries about food and clothing, and they have successively destroyed the Turks, Tuyuhun, defeated Xue Yantuo, Tubo, and expanded the territory for thousands of miles, how can such a prominent achievement not report to the heavens.

The courtiers felt that the emperor they assisted was qualified to be a Zen minister, and Emperor Li Shimin also felt that he was the king of Sheng Shiming with this qualification, so the monarch and the ministers hit it off.
