Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji said a few more things, but Li Yuan was not satisfied.

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "The three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if the grain and straw are not ready, this battle will be lost before it is fought, I intend to follow Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and abolish Buddhism, in order to seek weapons between the towers and temples, and soldiers under the monks, what do you think?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, Li Yuanji almost applauded, the two generations of emperors of the Sui Dynasty worshiped Buddha, and the temple monks were a great wealth. And the Tang Dynasty royal family has always respected Taoism, Li Yuan posthumously respected Lao Tzu as the great sage ancestor when he founded the country, and regarded himself as a descendant of Taishang Laojun, and respected Taoism since the founding of the country, and even set it as the state religion.

In the fourth year of Wude, the Taoist priest Fu Yi played the eleven articles of Shatai monks and nuns. Taoism is based on Lao Tzu's Hu Jing, saying that after Lao Tzu went out of the valley in the west, he went without knowing the end, and said that Lao Tzu entered Tianzhu and changed into a Buddha, teaching Hu people to be a matter of Buddhism, and used this to depreciate the Buddha.

There is even a rumor in Li Tang Chaoye that he wants to redefine the position of the three religions, giving way to Taoism, Confucianism second, and Buddhism last.

Li Yuan thought that his two sons would agree with him on this matter, but he didn't expect Li Jiancheng to object: "Father, this matter must not be allowed, Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all beings, even Confucianism and Taoism are incomparable, and all the wise men and sages from ancient times to the present respect Buddhism." Nowadays, the monks are not necessarily good people, some misbehave, some are lazy and pretend to study Buddhism in order to avoid taxes; But there are also those who are full of dignity, strictly abide by the precepts, and have a clear and noble mind and ambition like a pearl. Now, if you want to curb them all together, I am afraid that they will be burned. ”

"Father, not to mention the king who has destroyed the Buddha since ancient times, although he can succeed for a while, he has never ended well. If it provokes a radical change in the people who worship Buddha, the gains outweigh the losses. Father, you have to think twice about this. ”

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered his son's nickname Bishamentian. When I was a child, I was afraid that it would not be easy to grow up, so I gave this name to bless Li Jiancheng to grow up. This was a matter of course in the Sui Dynasty, such as Li Jing, whose nickname was Pharmacist, and his brother Li Duan, whose nickname was Medicine King.

Li Jiancheng has always believed in Buddhism since he was a child, so when Li Yuan saw his opposition, he hesitated and said, "Since this is the case." That's it for now. ”

Li Yuan was also a little relieved at the same time, after this incident, Li Yuan felt that Li Jiancheng was also a little benevolent.

Secluded capital.

A year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the new year is ushered in.

The second year of Dazhao's innovation, and the five years of Datang Wude have arrived silently.

The firecrackers rang out in the secluded capital, full of the joy of the New Year.

The same is true of the emperor's house in Linshuo Palace. On this day, Li Chongjiu held a family banquet, and everyone gathered.

The Li family is now more and more populous, and the table is lively. On the main seat, Li Hu and Li Chongjiu drank together. The following are Yang Ehuang, Mur Deyun, Li Zhiwan, and Su Miao. There are also Li Chongjiu's sons and daughters, Li Ying, and Niu Niu. And Niuniu still needs to be held by the nurse to eat.

And so it goes. If a few more children are added, one table will not be enough for the Li family to eat. At present, the belly of the room is slightly bulging again. The second child has been pregnant for three months, and the Li family will add another child this summer.

At the wine table, Li Chongjiu was even more happy. Not only is Mu Deyun pregnant with her own child, but she and Yang Ehuang's daughter are already full years old this year, thinking that Yang Ehuang's birth was not smooth last year. Therefore, Li Chongjiu can't help but love this woman a little more.

His youngest daughter is lively and active by nature, and Li Chongjiu is in the mood for drinking, so he holds her in his arms. And this girl was also unceremonious, and pulled up Li Chongjiu's beard.

During the banquet, everyone talked and laughed, and they were very happy, Li Chongjiu hugged his daughter while looking at Ping Ping and said: "My youngest daughter is still in infancy, but the eldest daughter is already a big girl, I can't keep you this year, I have to get married, otherwise I will become an old girl." ”

There was laughter in the banquet, and Ping Ping couldn't help but be ashamed when he heard Li Chongjiu say this, lowered his head, and kept shaking his head.

Looking at his daughter's demeanor, Li Chongjiu thought that his daughter's family in the world was like this before she got married, so he smiled and didn't care.

Among Li Chongjiu's concubines, Deyun and Pingping have been together the longest, and when they saw him like this, they gently asked in Pingping's ear: "You sue me, but you have a favorite Langjun in your heart?" ”

Pingping listened to Deyun's question, but he didn't speak, just hung his head and didn't say anything. Room Deyun couldn't help but be surprised, she knew that if her daughter's family didn't have an attitude, she would neither nod nor shake her head, then it meant that there was.

Mu Deyun couldn't help but be overjoyed and quietly asked: "Pingping, who is it for me to help you ask, and let your father make the decision for you." ”

Pingping's face turned red but he didn't speak. Li Chongjiu also felt his daughter's abnormality at this time, and immediately looked at Mu Deyun with an inquiring look. Mu Deyun shook his hand and signaled Li Chongjiu not to ask questions at this time. Li Chongjiu didn't say anything more.

After the banquet was dispersed, Room Deyun came to see Li Chongjiu. Li Chongjiu asked, "Who is Pingping's favorite person?" ”

Room Deyun knew that he couldn't hide it from Li Chongjiu and said: "I can't speak, how can I answer." I asked her for a long time, and she made a weekly gesture with her hand on the table. ”

"Zhou? Could it be a man surnamed Zhou? Who is this person? Do you have a number in your heart? Emperor Yang asked on the side.

Li Chongjiu's eyes narrowed, and he snorted softly: "It turned out to be him." ”

"Oh?" Room Deyun, Yang Ehuang couldn't help but wonder who this man who walked into Pingping's heart was.

Li Chongjiu said to the second daughter at the moment: "This person is Zhou Zhou, the county guard of Liaodong County, when I went to Luoyang before, I saw the two of them fishing on the boat, and their expressions were kind, I was suspicious at that time, and then transferred Zhou Zhou to Liaodong County under the pretext of not wanting the two to meet, but I didn't expect that he really had him in my heart." ”

Room Deyun smiled slightly when she heard this: "Your Majesty, your method is really bad, if men and women have affection in their hearts, they will separate the two, but they will add more thoughts." ”

Hearing what Mu Deyun said, Yang Ehuang also smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, you really don't understand your daughter's thoughts." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I don't understand, it's just that letting the two of them be together again doesn't encourage affection." Pingping has been lonely since she was a child, her background is pitiful, and she grew up under your knees, simple and kind, I don't know that people outside are sinister, I am really worried that she will be unladylike. ”

Emperor Yang E nodded and said, "The concubine understands, the emperor is afraid that Zhou Zhou intends to approach Pingping at the beginning, and has other plans. ”

"Not bad." Li Chongjiu was full of melancholy.

"Your Majesty, please be relieved, this matter is very simple, let's just try Zhou Zhou." Emperor Yang E said on the side.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, on the official road leading to Youjing, it was snowing all over the sky.

A carriage, escorted by dozens of cavalrymen, was making its way through the snow. Both sides of the official road are white, either heavy mountains or forests, and it is easy to pass by a village, but there is no one to see.

Zhou Zhou sat in the carriage and looked at the snow outside the window, and when he passed by the village, he suddenly said, "Stop!" ”

The carriage stopped, and the cavalry guard on the side said: "Envoy, Youjing is about to arrive, we have delayed the great court meeting due to the heavy snow closure, and now if we are delaying, I am afraid that we will not even be able to catch up with the Shangyuan Festival to enter the palace and face the saint." ”

"Don't worry about this moment, everyone is tired, everyone rests."

Seeing Zhou Zhou's eyes on the village, the cavalry guards asked silently for a long time: "Is there anything special about this village?" ”

Zhou Zhou looked at it for a long time, and then said, "Didn't others tell you?" Am I a native of Youjing? ”

"The lowly position is known, Youjing is a place where dragons and tigers gather, so there is such an auxiliary minister as the envoy."

Zhou Zhou glanced at the other party and said with a smile: "In the Youjing under your eyes, is it possible that only the Youjing City within the four directions can be regarded as Youjing?" I tell you that all within a hundred miles of this radius belong to Youjing. ”

Zhou Zhou gestured with his hand, then sighed and said, "This village also belongs to Youjing." ”

"Isn't it a gentleman?"

Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, I am a person from this village, since my father saw my back, I grew up in this village." Every grass and tree here is familiar to me, when the county test failed, I thought I would be a farmer for a lifetime, it's ridiculous to think about, the human situation is really wonderful, if it weren't for Lin Shangshu's words at that time, I would have died with the grass and trees here in this life. ”

The guard listened, "I see, since the envoy is here, why don't you go into the village?" ”

Zhou Zhou said: "No, the people in the village who have helped our mother and daughter have already moved away, and now they are just dressed in fine clothes, such a big battle has frightened the hometown parents in vain." I think it's just a momentary pleasure to see here, and it's enough to see it now, so I don't need to alarm others. (To be continued......)
