Wang Shenzhi never dreamed that he would be the pastor of Jingzhao Mansion, this is a civil official of the third grade, extremely noble, he is not a jinshi, let alone any fame, I don't know why the emperor will be the public opinion, let him serve as the pastor of Jingzhao Mansion, so after taking office, Wang Shenzhi is conscientious and conscientious, and does not dare to have the slightest slack, half a year down, the order around the Beijing division is in order, the ruffians almost disappear without a trace, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the scene of prosperity appears, which makes Wang Shenzhi begin to be praised by many officials, It also made everyone impressed by the emperor's insight.

But recently, Wang Zhenzhi has encountered trouble.

The trouble came from Famen Temple.

Famen Temple is not far from the capital, belongs to the scope of the direct jurisdiction of Jingzhao Fumu, because the Famen Temple presided over the Master Xuanzhi put forward, in the past, every year the emperor had to send representatives to the Famen Temple to make a wish, praying for the health of the Tang Dynasty, now the emperor has ascended the throne, Famen Temple is willing to do a grand Buddhist event, pray for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Zhenzhi didn't care at first, and felt that Master Xuanzhi's tone was too big, this matter of the emperor and the court, what did a monk care about so much, but later someone reminded him that the emperor's father, King Wei, was a lay disciple of Famen Temple, and Gao Chibang, the crown prince Taibao, the governor of the capital, and the general of the iron-blooded army, used to be the Zhizang of Famen Temple, which surprised Wang Shenzhi, and then he understood why Master Xuanzhi would make such a request.

Although he has only been the pastor of Jingzhao Mansion for half a year, the king knows the situation and already knows the emperor's temper, and he must not do anything to brag about the horse, if he has any ideas, or what is it, just say it directly in front of the emperor.

The position of the Jingzhao Mansion Pastor is very special, according to the system set by the political affairs hall, there is no need to participate in the morning pilgrimage every day, and the morning pilgrimage is attended once every five days, if there is something that needs to be reported. You can report to the government hall and participate in the early dynasty at any time.

Wang Shenzhi was very cautious about the request made by Master Xuanzhi, the host of Famen Temple, and did not reply immediately, and he was not prepared to talk about this matter in the early dynasty, so as not to have a dispute in the early dynasty, in case the emperor was grateful to Famen Temple in his heart, then he did not deal with the matter well, and he finally decided to write a recital directly and report the matter to the emperor.

These are two different concepts from whiskering. From the perspective of being loyal to the emperor, Wang Shenzhi wrote a recital, and he also put forward his opinion in the recital, the ritual of praying for blessings in Famen Temple can be done, and suggested that the imperial court send officials to participate in it to show its attention.

The fold handed out in the morning, just after noon, Wang Zhenzhi received a notice and quickly rushed to the Zichen Palace.

Wang Xianzhi was full of emotion. The efficiency of the emperor's work is probably unprecedented, and in just two hours, this matter will be discussed. This was something that was unimaginable before.

After entering the Zichen Palace, Wang Xianzhi saw Cui Anqian, Zheng Congyan, Liu Yunzhang, Gao Chibang, Qian Shiqu, Yu Chenghui, Cui Shenyou and other prime ministers all in the Zichen Palace, as well as Yan Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Ma Haoxuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Kan Zeyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Li Jie, the imperial historian. It's all here.

Li Ming's appointment as the imperial historian also surprised many people, Li Jie is the king of longevity. The identity of the prince can be appointed by the emperor as the imperial historian, which shows that the emperor still values the royal family.

Of course, no one will know that if it weren't for Li Rupei's crossing, this Li Jie would have changed his name to Li Ye, who was later Tang Zhaozong.

Seeing such a formation, Wang Zhenzhi was greatly surprised, and after entering the Zichen Palace, he hurriedly greeted the emperor.

"Wang Envoy, I have seen your recital, and today I have summoned officials from Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, the Six Ministries, and the Yushitai to come to discuss, I just want to show my attitude towards Buddhism."

"When Yizong, the imperial court attached great importance to Buddhism, and had welcomed the Buddha bones many times, the cost was huge, and it encountered the opposition of many ministers, the Tang Dynasty has always attached importance to Buddhism, and there are a lot of such things, you may have heard a lot of things about Famen Temple, so you are very careful to write out the folds, such an attitude to deal with things, I am very appreciative, you have done a very good job in Jingzhao Mansion, conscientious, and have been recognized by the political hall and the Manchu Dynasty, I am happy for you, I hope you can persevere."

Wang Xianzhi hurriedly thanked him again.

"Gao Ge Lao, you have the most right to speak on this matter, tell me your opinion."

Gao Chibang has long been prepared, he once became a monk in Famen Temple, and the relationship between the presiding master Xuanzhi is not ordinary, such a thing, the emperor will definitely ask for his opinion, so many years have passed, after too many fights, Gao Chibang's understanding of Buddhism, has undergone a great change, and it is completely different from before, and he is a halfway monk, not a real Buddhist disciple, so the understanding will not be particularly rigid.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, the Tang Dynasty has always attached importance to Buddhism, the minister has also been a monk in the Famen Temple, many princes and ministers in the capital, have also been shaved in the Famen Temple, become a lay disciple of the Famen Temple, these years because of the unstable situation, the Famen Temple was once in danger of being poisoned, such as today's peace, the Famen Temple presided over the Xuanzhi Master looks forward to the revitalization of Buddhism, such a mood can be understood, but this is a major ceremony, pray for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, some passed, the minister thinks, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, is the emperor's exhaustion, The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs has done his best to achieve results, and besides, the emperor advocates frugality, and if it is a large-scale Buddhist ceremony, it will cost a lot of money, and it is not in line with the system of the imperial court......"

Everyone was very surprised, the imperial historian Li Jie had already prepared to give a direct advice, if the emperor supported Famen Temple to do such a large-scale ritual, he would definitely oppose it, in fact, if such a thing was brought to the court meeting to discuss, many imperial histories would definitely oppose it, but Gao Chibang had such an attitude, Zheng Yanchang had nothing to say, it was impossible to abolish Buddhism, which was definitely inappropriate.

Li Jie is not mentally prepared for serving as the imperial historian, I remember that when the edict came down, he was dizzy for several days, but within a short period of time, he sank into the imperial history platform and began to perform his duties, his identity is special, he is the emperor's uncle, and the prince, so he is ruthless in the matter of supervision, dare to point out any inappropriate things, and dare to admonish directly.

After Gao Chibang finished speaking, the emperor spoke.

"King Shou, Yushitai is the supervision department, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and quickly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister really didn't expect that the Gao Ge Lao would have such an opinion, the minister was originally ready to oppose Famen Temple to do such a grand ceremony, the minister agreed with Gao Ge Lao's opinion, and agreed with the proposal of the king's envoy, the scale of Famen Temple's ritual should not be too large, and the court can send officials to participate."

"Then who do you think the imperial court sent to participate in this ceremony?"

"The minister hasn't thought about it yet."

Li Rupei looked at everyone and spoke with a serious face.

"Famen Temple is preparing to hold a large-scale ceremony, praying for the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, such things, should have been discussed and discussed at the supreme court, and finally made a decision by the political affairs hall, Wang Zhijun took into account many circumstances, and directly wrote a note to me, which shows that many people in the court have a different view of Famen Temple, and always think that Famen Temple has an unusual relationship with the court, and even has an extraordinary relationship with me, so they will have such a view."

"I don't want to deny the relationship with Famen Temple, my father Wang, was once a lay disciple of Famen Temple, Gao Ge Lao used to be a monk in Famen Temple, and there are many princes, all of whom are lay disciples of Famen Temple, I also have some understanding of Buddhism's affairs, Buddhism advocates being kind to people and purifying all sentient beings, which is in line with the requirements of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but today I want to emphasize that I can't be worried because of the extraordinary relationship between Famen Temple and me, I don't want such a situation to happen in the future."

"I have long said that the royal selfless affairs, whether it is my affairs or the queen's affairs, as long as there are things that do not conform to the rules, I must be directly admonished, I am not a saint, I will be greedy for comfort, and I will also connive at relatives and the royal family, if there is no advice, I am greedy for pleasure, and what is wrong is the world of the Tang Dynasty."

"As for the matter of Famen Temple, I think it is still in accordance with the rules, the political hall will put forward specific suggestions for dealing with it today, and implement it according to the suggestions, what I need to emphasize is that it is enough to stop, I will not respect Buddhism, what I think of in my heart is the world of the Tang Dynasty, everything that is conducive to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity of the people, and the stability of the world, I just insist, when the political hall is deliberating, we must also keep this rule in mind, everything is from the perspective of the rise and fall of the world."

Li Rupei did not directly put forward the opinion to deal with it, but he has made his attitude clear, that kind of thing that respects Buddhism will definitely not appear, as for Famen Temple as the head of the Buddhist temple that has been persuaded, this point is still affirmed, after all, Famen Temple holds Dharma events and prays for the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, this matter is not banned.

Everyone was very quiet, quietly listening to the emperor's words, they generally felt that the emperor was a little harsh on himself, he worked so hard every day, and he had to care about everything in the world, not to mention that there were still feudal towns that had not been destroyed, and the Turks were also ready to move, with so many things in their heads, it was impossible to be relaxed.

Of course, the atmosphere in the court has also completely changed in a short period of time, up and down, the emperor is so hard every day, what else do the officials in the court have to say, they can only do things honestly.

After Cui Anqian thanked everyone on behalf of everyone, he was ready to leave the Zichen Palace.

The emperor opened his mouth and asked the imperial historian Li Jie to stay, and the rest of them could go about their own affairs.

Cui Anqian looked at Li Jie and found that Li Jie was a little nervous, it should be said that this was the first time that the emperor summoned Li Jie alone after taking office, no wonder Li Jie felt nervous. (To be continued......)
