On the Dharma is coming soon!

Du He, Changle, and Gao Yang stood in the corner of the temple, away from the altar of the Dharma Meeting, looking at the dense crowd like ants, and they were moved one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"I can't imagine that there are so many Buddhist believers?" Chang Lexiu's brows furrowed, and he was indignant in his heart: With so many believers, they only need one person to buy three incense sticks to worship, and the wealth they get is astronomical. A group of six pure monks, but so greedy, is really hateful.

"Brother-in-law, let's go play elsewhere, it's too crowded here, and it's not interesting." Gao Yang wrinkled his nose, unable to stand the smell of tens of thousands of people getting together.

Du He comforted her and told her to wait for a good show.

Gao Yang's eyes blinked, she liked to watch dramas the most, especially the good dramas that Du He was referring to, smiled sweetly, and showed a clear expression.

Du He glanced at Changle, the old husband and wife, Changle frowned, he knew what his beloved wife was thinking, and said in a low voice: "The profit is far beyond what you know...... Chang'an is the capital of my Tang Dynasty, most of the people in the city are well-off families, do not worry about livelihood, often for peace of mind, worship Buddha is a one-stop service, from the front yard to the main hall. The most critical problem is that the temple does not pay taxes, and these businessmen do not need to pay a penny of taxes to the imperial court at all, and all they earn are huge profits. Otherwise, you think, what an astonishing amount of maintenance costs for such a luxurious yard and a year, how can they maintain it? ”

Temples do not pay taxes, this is an ancient law. Because the royal family is more superstitious, collecting taxes from the gods and Buddhas is not conducive to the fortune of the country. This has also become a means used by black-hearted people.

The emperor sits high in the palace, how can he know all kinds of situations?

Because of this, there will be cases in history such as Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroying Buddha, Tang Wuzong destroying Buddha, and Zhou Shizong destroying Buddha, which is because of the huge interests in the temple that have brought great harm to the country, so there is a matter of determination to destroy Buddha.

The more Changle listened, the more angry he became: "Hateful, really hateful, Du Lang, no matter what, I can't spare this group of hateful monks, after returning to the palace, I will tell my father all this, and let my father make a judgment." ”

Gao Yang also agreed, she didn't have such kindness as Changle, but in her heart, her brother-in-law was always right, and what her brother-in-law hated should be defeated.

Du He shook his head and said, "If you let your father-in-law deal with this matter, it may not be effective." ”

Changle and Gao Yang asked in unison, puzzled, "Why?" In their eyes, Li Shimin is the emperor and can decide everything.

Du He explained in a deep voice: "You don't know how powerful the power of believers is...... Look at these people, none of them are fools, and they don't know that the incense and candles in the temple are several times more expensive than the outside world, but they are all willing to pay for them. Why? It is because they have been fooled and deceived. The words of the group of thieves and monks enlightened a large number of people who were deceived. If His Majesty suddenly orders a ban on Buddhism, or the closure of Hongfu Temple, it will cause dissatisfaction among many unsuspecting believers and cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Changle didn't think about this, and after thinking about it carefully, he also felt justified, blind believers were maliciously incited, which would cause terrible effects, and his angry heart calmed down, and asked, "Then what is Du Lang going to do?" "She knows her husband. He is not the kind of person who is afraid of things and sits and watches a ** monk defraud the people of their hard-earned money on the grounds of faith, he must have his own way.

Du He's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "Actually, as long as you expose their true colors in person and let the people realize that they have been deceived, this is enough." This Dharma meeting has attracted the attention of thousands of believers, isn't it a godsend? ”

Changle suddenly realized, "Du Lang is planning to make a big fuss?" ”

"Not bad!" Du He's face was resolute, and he said categorically: "If I don't expose the true face of their group of monks, how can I, Du He, be willing." ”

Changle looked at Ailang deeply, revealing this pride in her eyes, this is her husband, her husband, a true hero who dares to say and do, and dares to risk the world's disapproval, she stepped forward and said, "I'll accompany you." ”

Gao Yang's eyes were shining, making a big fuss, it seemed to be fun, she said excitedly: "Me too, me too...... The three of us will teach these thief monks a good lesson today, and let them know that I am Gao Yang's power......" She danced her fists excitedly.

Du He summoned two guards in the shadows and asked them to buy some Buddhist beads, Buddha statues, ritual utensils and other items of similar quality from inside and outside the temple, ask for the price, and hand them over to themselves.

Shortly thereafter!

"Boom!" A bell rang.

The Dharma has begun.

Du He glanced at Changle and Gao Yang, and took them to the field.

The Dharma Festival is held in a huge square outside the main hall of Kofukuji Temple.

The huge square can accommodate more than 30,000 people, the front end of the square is the exit of the main hall to build a square platform, there are a total of 26 seats on the high platform, of which 16 are monks, it is the high monks of the Buddha, and the others are invited to be like Li Chengqian, Xiao Yu and other dignitaries and nobles.

The square was almost full, and Du He was reluctant to pull Changle and Gao Yang to squeeze into the crowd, planning to go around and squeeze to the front from the side where there were few people, so as to catch some easy-to-break Buddhist arguments at a critical time, so as to launch an all-round sweep.

After going around for half a circle, when he was about to approach, Du He unexpectedly saw Li Chengqian and Xiao Yu leading a group of monks in various robes to ascend the high platform.

Du He couldn't help but pause, a little surprised, and said in a low voice: "Why is the prince here?" ”

Changle and Gao Yang exclaimed: "It's really the eldest brother (the prince's brother) ......"

At this moment, Li Chengqian was already standing on the high platform, in the silence, the prince and brother, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I have heard that Hongfu Temple is the first temple in Chang'an, and the lonely king Li Chengqian originally came here today to pray for the blessing of his father, queen mother, and pray for the safety of his parents. Gu Wang deeply felt that Buddhism is for all sentient beings, and he has the heart to learn and benefit all people, so he took over this heavy burden and hopes to learn Buddhism at close range. ”

His words drew bursts of applause.

Isn't it for believers to believe in Buddhism for the sake of the equality of all beings in the Buddha's family, and to purify all sentient beings?

Li Chengqian's words are not beautiful, but they are extremely inspiring.

"Big brother...... It's really ......" Changle has always wanted to resolve the grievances between Li Chengqian and Du He, but he didn't know how to start, and now he knows why his husband has been against Li Chengqian many times.

She stepped forward and whispered: "You don't need to take care of me, and you don't need to care about my eldest brother, letting the people see everything clearly is the most important thing." ”

Between the people and the eldest brother, Changle chose the people rationally.

His wife is like this, how can Duhe let her down?

He smiled back, took her hand, and strode forward.
