Gao Xing and the others entered Chang'an City and were arranged to live in the Yecheng Pavilion, which was not too far from the palace.

At first, the national hotel of the Central Plains to receive foreign envoys was called "Barbarian Pavilion". As the name suggests, this place is a place prepared for the envoys of the surrounding minority regimes, which has a satirical meaning of the backward and uncivilized culture of these countries, and it is also to highlight the majesty of the great power of the Celestial Empire. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Barbarian Pavilion was renamed the Siyi Pavilion, and the pavilion was divided into different halls according to the different countries. For example, the Rouran Pavilion that received Rouran, and the Yecheng Pavilion that received the Northern Qi Dynasty was the Yecheng Pavilion.

After sending the happy party to the Yecheng Pavilion, Yu Wenyun said goodbye and left, without the slightest humility on his face, and was very polite. Although Zhao Yanshen was dissatisfied with this, he was helpless. Xing Xing didn't care about this, in his eyes, Yu Wenyun was just a dead man, and it was really a bit bad to deal with a dead man.

For his relatives, he was happy and had no enthusiasm at all, so although Yu Wenyong did not meet him and others, he was not in a hurry at all, and returned to his room to lie on the soft bed to rest.

When the dawn broke in the east, I was happy to wake up from my deep sleep. Although the matter of harmony made him very angry and resistant, it was also a great blessing to leave the dangerous place in Yecheng and eat and drink well in Chang'an City. From happiness to the present, for most of the year, he has only a handful of time to sleep, and now he can relax.

I was so happy to get off the bed, put on an elegant white shirt, and after greeting Zhao Yanshen, I was accompanied by the officials in charge of the reception of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and took advantage of the fresh air in the early morning to visit Chang'an City.

Compared with Yecheng, Chang'an is indeed much more prosperous, although it is in the depths of winter, the streets are still full of traffic, very lively. Although Chang'an has a history of nearly 1,000 years, it is still vibrant, far from the sense of loneliness and vicissitudes of Yecheng. Looking at the heartfelt smiles on the faces of the people on the road, happy and peaceful, he couldn't help but sigh while admiring Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong.

In the vast history of Chinese civilization, the Great Sui Dynasty is undoubtedly the most brilliant pearl, and the name of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian has been passed down through the ages, and is known as the greatest emperor by Westerners. However, people ignore the name Yuwen Yong, and it is because of him that Yang Jian was able to end hundreds of years of war and establish a unified and prosperous China.

It's a pity that God gave Yu Wenyong the talent to pass through heaven and earth, but did not give him a tenacious life. When Yuwen Yong killed the powerful minister Yuwen Hu in 572 AD, he began to truly control the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After years of preparation, he finally annexed his old rival, the Gao clan's Northern Qi, but just as he was ambitious to destroy Southern Chen, the heavens took him away. However, the successor Yu Wenyun is even more Adou than Adou, and he has exhausted the great disasters of the country and almost gave it to Yang Jian.

Perhaps, if God wants to give Yu Wenyong an extra five years of life, history will go on another trajectory, but fate is like a Rubik's cube, you can't predict what he will look like in the next moment.

Will Yu Wenyong die so early?

Happy while looking at the scenery of Chang'an with great interest, while secretly thinking. All the way, I was unconsciously happy to come to the door of a large-scale Zen temple.

On the lintel of the Zen Temple, there are four antique characters of "Fuying Zen Temple", the white wall and green tiles, revealing a solemn and solemn atmosphere, faintly, there is a loud bell accompanied by the chanting sound of the monk's morning class. Happy felt that the Buddha pendant on his chest suddenly became a little hot, and the immortal true qi in his body involuntarily accelerated his speed, but happy felt that his heart was calm and peaceful, and the anger in his heart suddenly weakened a little.

Although many people in Chang'an came in and out, these people were all pious and did not make loud noises, as if they were afraid of disturbing the Bodhisattvas in the temple, so that the Fuying Monastery still maintained quiet and peaceful.

"My lord, I want to go to this Buddhist treasure to take a stick of incense, I don't know if it's possible?" Happy and gentle asked the officials beside him.

"Gao Gongzi, please!"

After thanking him happily, he also entered the temple with a solemn face, and walked slowly, no different from an ordinary pilgrim.

Fuying Monastery was founded in the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, has a history of 400 years, the deeper you go, the more happy you feel peaceful. That strong Buddha qi seems to have a strange power, which can cleanse people's hearts, make people involuntarily awe, let go of the burden in their hearts, and temporarily get rid of the red dust.

In front of the main hall of Fuying Zen Temple is a wide square, which is paved with bluestone floors and is spotlessly cleaned by novices. The white air wafted from the incense burner in the square, which made people feel refreshed. Happy to climb the stairs, step by step, eyes calm and clear.

"Huh?" Just when he was about to step into the main hall, two monks suddenly walked out from the side of the main hall, one of them was very rich, and Maitreya Buddha had a fight, and the other was quite thin, with white beard and hair, obviously not young, but his face was full of red light, and his eyes were bright. The fat-faced monk couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.

Happy to follow the prestige, couldn't help but be stunned, and was about to speak, but the fat-faced monk had already folded his hands and shouted the Buddha's name, and said: "Master Gao, let's meet again!" ”

A smile appeared on his happy face, and he also returned the etiquette of a Buddhist family and said: "It turned out to be Master Huilun, what a blessing!" Happy paused, and then said: "Didn't Master Huilun go to Yecheng, why did he suddenly come to Chang'an again?" ”

"Hehe, don't hide it from the donor, the poor monk was originally a monk in this Fuying Monastery, and he only returned from his practice yesterday." Hui Lun said with a smile, with a peaceful face, and he looked like a monk.

Really? I'm afraid your intentions are not pure! Maybe you went to Yecheng for "The Secret of Eternal Life"!

"Haven't consulted this master yet?" Happy thought so in his heart, but his face was silent, but he looked at the old man beside Huilun and asked suspiciously.

Hui Lun replied with a smile: "Master Gao, this is the family teacher, the Dharma name is Zhixuan, and he is the presiding officer of this Fuying Zen Temple. ”

"It turned out to be Master Zhixuan, happy to have eyes and not to know Mount Tai, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Happy and respectfully bowed.

Happy hunched over, but Jihyun and Hyelun couldn't see the look of shock in his eyes.

In 574 A.D., such a major event occurred in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, that is, Zhou Wu destroyed the Buddha.

Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, was a man of great talent, although he had believed in Buddhism, but he knew better how to govern the country and knew that Confucianism should be used, only in this way could the Northern Zhou Dynasty rise completely and defeat the Northern Qi Dynasty, so as to dominate the world.

Because of the chaotic times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the people lived in the water and fire, and it can be said that they had completely lost hope in life. In addition, with the strong support of the ethnic minorities who wanted to stabilize their political power, Buddhism flourished.

However, there are also great drawbacks in this way. Because the status of Buddhism has risen sharply, and the political axe has supported it, the people of Shamen enjoy great privileges, no need to serve in labor, military service, and no need to pay taxes. As a result, many people who were living in poverty threw themselves into Shamen in order to survive. Buddhism snowballed, and they not only occupied countless fertile land, but more importantly, labor.

In troubled times, in addition to food, the ultimate demand is naturally population. If Yuwen Yong wants to develop the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he naturally needs a lot of labor, and he needs a lot of fertile land, and Buddhism, which occupies these precious resources, makes it difficult for Yu Wenyong to sleep and eat.

There is such a person, named Wei Yuansong, who once became a monk in Shudi. However, this person couldn't bear the loneliness, and he couldn't bear Shamen's IOU to break off his seven emotions and six desires, so he finally betrayed Shamen and returned to the vulgar.

Wei Yuansong didn't like Buddhism, and saw that Yu Wenyong wanted to punish Buddhism, so he said: "The rule of the country is not in the floating map, and Tang Yu has no floating map and the country is safe." This sentence naturally won the heart of Zhou Wu, so Wei Yuansong's request to abolish the Buddhist temple and reduce the expenditure in this area was put forward by Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong.

However, after hundreds of years of development, Buddhism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, from the ministers of civil and military affairs to the common people of Li, all of whom believe in this foreign sect, which makes Yuwen Yong's plan extremely resistant.

In 569 AD, Zhou Wu had asked Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism to debate, but it was Buddhism that won in the end, and for a time Emperor Wu of Zhou had to put the matter on hold.

Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting for a long time, and Taoist priest Zhang Bin saw Zhou Wu's intentions, so he repeatedly made statements, deepening Yuwen Yong's contempt for Buddhism and strengthening his confidence in attacking Buddhism.

Historically, Zhou Wu has made Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism debate several times, but the final winner is Buddhism without exception. In order to allow the Northern Zhou Dynasty to rise at the fastest speed and complete its own grand goal of unifying the world, Yuwen Yong finally forced Zhixuan, the representative of Buddhism at that time, to implement the plan of exterminating Buddhism in 574 AD with the authority of the emperor. Because Taoism was also defeated in the debate, Emperor Wu of Zhou, in order to show fairness and reduce the resistance of Buddhism, Yuwen Yong issued a decree to ban Buddhism and Taoism, ordering "the scriptures and images to be destroyed, the Shamen and Taoist priests, and the people were returned." and forbid all silver rituals, and remove all that is not contained in the rituals. ”

Because of this, the Northern Zhou liberated countless laborers and obtained countless soldiers, creating a solid foundation for the conquest of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"Gao Shi praised it, the old man is not a shallow learner, and he is added as the host, so he can't be called a master!" Monk Zhixuan was kind and kind-eyed, and he returned the courtesy to happiness, with a faint trace of majesty on his body.

"The master is superb in Buddhism, and he has defeated the two Taoist and Confucian families, and he has long been famous all over the world, and he has been happy to admire him for a long time!" Happy looked at Jihyun with a sincere face.

Although he doesn't have much belief in Buddhism, he still admires Jihyun very much. How can a person who can argue the two Dao and Confucian families so much that they can't fight back, how can he be an ordinary person. Moreover, after a short observation, Joy is even more absolutely this Ji Hyun is a person with a unique skill, so he can't see through it.

Zhixuan was about to speak, but he heard a bell ringing in the sky, and the direction of the sound was the palace in Chang'an. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and turned their eyes to that place, and then, they heard a mournful cry from the street: "The Queen Mother is dead, the Queen Mother is dead!" ”
