Since he pierced the fake Buddhas in Hongfu Temple, Du He knew that this matter was related to the hearts of the people of Chang'an, and it was no longer a trivial matter, so he immediately decided to cancel today's itinerary and enter the palace to explain everything. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Gao Yang was naturally full of displeasure, pouting and opening his mouth, muttering, and instigating.

Changle's persuasion was fruitless, and Du He had no choice but to promise to take her out to play next time.

Gao Yang was smiling, with a smug smile on her pretty face, as a royal woman, she already knew what it was to be on business, and this was just a promise.

Just as Du He thought, he sent Changle and Gao Yang to the gate of the palace, and the news of Li Shimin's announcement reached his ears.

To put it bluntly, Li Shimin didn't let people go to Du He at all, but sent someone to wait at the gate of the palace, he knew that such a big thing had happened, Du He would definitely rush back, and directly let him go to Chengqing Hall to discuss matters.

When he came to the Chengqing Hall and stood at the door, Du He heard the smell of gunpowder in the hall and made a lot of noise.

This matter is now not only a matter of monks' extravagance, but has gradually involved the dispute between Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism and the distinction between Yixia and Yixia with the general trend.

Chinese culture is splendid and has a long history, and the integration and absorption of foreign Buddhist culture shows that Chinese culture is tolerant and broad-minded. However, before Buddhism was introduced to China in the Western Han Dynasty and became an integral part of Chinese culture, it was not so smooth.

The controversy between Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism has never stopped from the very beginning.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to respect Confucianism, Confucianism has flourished day by day. Although Taoism is not as good as Confucianism, Laozi and Confucius have the same effect in theory, and they have not been affected much.

When Buddhism first spread to China, its power was weak and could not compete with Confucianism and Taoism, and it needed to rely on the power of Confucianism and Taoism to develop itself. During this period, the three religions of "Yixia Discrimination" had just sprouted, embodied in the "Theory of Confusion" written by Mu Zi in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in the process of sorting out the confusion and misunderstanding of Buddhism at the time, Mu Zi mentioned that Confucianism used the "Yixia" problem to criticize Buddhism, and Mu Zi also made a reasonable and well-founded response to this. But Buddhism at this time was like a wronged little daughter-in-law, who was beaten and didn't dare to fight back, just explained softly.

But with the gradual growth of Buddhism, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a counterattack has been launched.

The above-mentioned Yuan Wei monk's "Han Fa Ben Neibiography" is one of such counterattack weapons. There are also many classic works written by many monks, many of whom call the Buddha, that is, Shakyamuni, Lao Tzu and the teacher of Confucius, or even older. For example, the famous monk Zhi Dun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said in the "Preface to the Praise of the Buddha Statue of Sakyamun": "At the end of the former Zhou Ji, there was the Great Sage Buddha; …… Recruit Zhou to Zeng Xuan. In the book, the Buddha is not only said to be Lao Tzu's master, but also his "grandfather" generation; Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi became the "great-grandsons" and "great-great-grandsons" of the Buddha, and they were not even qualified to be disciples. Later, the "Righteous Accusation" said that Lao Tzu heard about Mr. Zhu Qiangu. Mr. Gu is a Buddha, so "Lao Tzu is a disciple of the Buddha." "The Pure Dharma Sutra also says;" The Buddha sent three disciples to educate, Confucian Bodhisattva, known as Confucius. Pure light Bodhisattva, he is called Yan Hui. Mahakasya, he is called Lao Tzu. ”

Aurora here refers to China, where the patriarchs of Confucianism and Taoism have become the embodiment of Buddhist disciples, which means that China's Confucian and Taoist culture has evolved from Buddhism.

This argument is undoubtedly very similar to some of the habits of ***.

In the face of such absurdity.

Confucianism and Taoism naturally launched a favorable counterattack.

Confucianism mostly criticized Buddhism from the perspective of governing the country and securing the people, and built temples with Buddhism, making the country poor and the people poor; The proliferation of monks and nuns has reduced the number of people who are responsible for the state's servitude; Monks and nuns leave their relatives and become monks, and do not want wives, which violates the Confucian code of ethics; The teachings of Buddhism are false, deceiving the people, and so on.

Not to be outdone, Buddhism refuted them one by one, pointing out that Buddhism is beneficial to the governance of the country by educating the public; Transcending the souls of ancestors and relatives through personal ordination is also a manifestation of filial piety. Buddhism is different from secular etiquette, and it is beyond reproach that it is the ambition to cut off emotional fatigue, abandon his wife, shave his hair, and become a monk.

However, most of the Chinese people and kings were very rational, and the protracted dispute between Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism was always limited to the scope of the gentleman's words and hands. Even if there is a killing, it is only a punishment for a few who are considered to be the first evildoers. Just like Emperor Qi Wen, who was a Buddha, announced the destruction of Taoism, he only killed four Taoist priests who refused to lose their hair. Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed the Buddha and refused to kill a monk.

This is due to the atmosphere of traditional Chinese culture. Because ancient Confucianism emphasized moderation and tolerance, Taoism emphasized quiet and inaction, and Buddhism held high the banner of peace and equality. Unlike the religious wars in the West, a dozen are decades, hundreds, or hundreds of years.

The battle between the three parties did not come to an end until the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was arguably the most enlightened country in Chinese history, and they embraced all cultures with an attitude of embracing all ethnic groups.

In the Tang Dynasty, you could play polo from Tibet, wear the clothes of the Hu people in the north, watch songs and dances from the Western Regions, and play *** girls......

As long as you have a heart, you can experience all kinds of alien customs in Datang and Chang'an.

The dispute between Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism has also been alleviated because of this kind of bearing, and Li Shimin has no partiality for Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and has the mentality that as long as you don't cause trouble, you don't mind them preaching in the Tang Dynasty.

The case of Kohongfuji Temple shattered this peaceful posture.

Li Shimin has a very high status in history, except for some extravagance after entering the grade, in the early middle and early stages, he is very concerned about the people. However, Hongfu Temple has collected the people's fat and ointment, and used the people's money to squander luxury, which has touched Li Shimin's bottom line and made him angry.

When he got the report from Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, Li Shimin was so angry that he got up, beat his hands swollen, and immediately convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

Before Duhe arrived at the Chengqing Palace, the council had already begun.

Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang, these orthodox scribes, have a deep contempt for Buddhism, and in the face of this group of ** monks, they immediately launched a tidal offensive, and belittled Buddhism as worthless in a few words.

There are also many Buddhist believers like Xiao Yu in the DPRK and China, and they are naturally not to be outdone, and they launch a counterattack with sharp words.

The new dispute between Buddhism and Confucianism has become more and more intense.

As for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, they did not express their opinions.

The two of them do not favor each other and do not join the quarrel.

In terms of origin, Fang and Du were both born in scholarly families and were orthodox Confucian disciples. However, they do not have the rigidity and flexibility of most Confucian students. Just like governing the country, Fang and Du are both heroes in the world, with great talents, and when dealing with government affairs, they have long found that ordinary Confucian knowledge is not enough to deal with many affairs in the world, and they flexibly use the banner of Confucianism to deal with it by Legalist means. For this upcoming dispute between Confucianism and Buddhism, have a neutral attitude.

Li Shimin originally had the same idea, and his mind was much more enlightened than that of ordinary emperors. He is not like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, who imprisoned his thoughts with doctrine to achieve the goal of controlling the people, and his way was inclined to the inaction of the early Han Dynasty. Let the people choose what they like.

Because of this, Datang has this eye-catching and brilliant cultural atmosphere.

Li Shimin also doesn't hate monks. In his image, a group of monks also helped him militarily, which happened when he attacked Wang Shichong.

In the spring of the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin, who had great achievements in the war at that time, supervised the army with the identities of Taiwei, Shang Shuling, Yizhou Daoxingtai, Yongzhou Mu, General Wuhou of the left and right, envoy Jie, Liangzhou Governor, Shangzhu State, and King of Qin. Wang Shichong can be regarded as a hero in troubled times, but he is more than a little different from Li Shimin. However, in two months, Wang Shichong had been defeated, but because Dou Jiande led more than 100,000 reinforcements, the battle situation temporarily became complicated. At that time, the battlefield was mainly near Luoyang, there was a Yuzhou between Luoyang and Shaolin Temple, which was the temple property given to Shaolin Temple by Emperor Wen of Sui, fifty miles northwest of the temple, because of its dangerous terrain, it belonged to the place where soldiers must fight, Wang Shichong took it as his own, as a military fortress, and let his nephew Wang Ren defend it, and he had troops not far from Luoyang, echoing and supporting each other to resist the Tang army. On April 27, the monks of Shaolin Temple united with Wang Renze's subordinate Sima Zhao Xiaozai, who was inside and outside, captured Wang Renze and gave it to the Tang Army. Three days later, Li Shimin was rewarded, giving 40 hectares of land and a body of water.

This is the historical truth of "Thirteen Stick Monks Save the Tang King". There is no sword and sword shadow, no painted horns and sorrows, no blood flowing, no beautiful love. I believe that no one would have imagined that such a plain and simple historical event would make later generations blow the story of "Thirteen Stick Monks Save the Tang King".

Although this is a feat that cannot be smaller, Li Shimin is more nostalgic for the old and has not forgotten it, but today's events have greatly increased his evil feelings towards monks and Buddhism, and he also has the idea of destroying Buddha in his heart.

Wei Zheng is upright, upright and selfless, but it would be a big mistake to regard him as an honest man. Only those who know Wei Zheng know that this guy has a fine background, a kind face and a black heart, or he will not do bad things, and he will do the most absolute if he wants to do it. In the past, in the treatment of ethnic groups outside the Sai, the Manchu Dynasty discussed how to treat them.

Wei Zheng, who has never been the main fighter, came up with an idea, genocide, not only to kill all the Turks, but also to destroy the grassland on which the steppe people depended for survival, so that they would never be able to turn over.

This strategy even shocked Li Shimin, and in the end he decided to "rise and perish" and did not adopt Wei Zheng's strategy.

Now the honest man once again showed his fangs, looking gloomily at Buddhism, which was not a fart in his heart.

Once the honest heart is dark, the end is terrible.
