Imperial City, inside the Imperial Garden.

His Majesty and Yuan Tieshan sat at the same table, and the relationship between the two of them is now a little delicate, but they are still relatives, they are relatives, and it is not too much to drink tea and talk about Taoism at the same table.

As for the scenery of the Imperial Garden, in the eyes of the literati, it is so delicate and gorgeous, quiet and soft.

In the eyes of His Majesty and Yuan Tieshan, it is lifeless, and he has stayed in one place for too long, no matter how beautiful this place is, he will get tired of it.

I've been guarding what I'm tired of, and His Majesty's mood is also a little delicate.

Yuan Tieshan said: "It's about to enter autumn, the battle of Old Xishu, our general should win, if he loses, the Great Qin Iron Cavalry enters the hinterland of Great Wei and fights on a flat and high slope, even if it is me, I am a little unbearable." ”

If the general wins, both sides will have a certain buffer time.

The situation has become delicate, because if the general wins, the general will also be greatly injured, so that the position of the old Xishu will be handed over to Yuan Tieshan, and Yuan Tieshan will personally guard the land of Xishu, which is completely different from the land of Pang Zong guarding Xishu.

His Majesty took a sip of tea and said, "Without mentioning Pang Zong's record today, can I ask you a question?"

Yuan Tieshan responded with a deferential posture: "I don't know what question Your Majesty wants to ask me?"

His Majesty asked, "Do you believe in Buddhism?"

Yuan Tieshan chuckled in his heart, when His Majesty asked this question, Yuan Tieshan had already guessed what His Majesty wanted to do.

Buddhism has spread all over the world a long time ago, and there are temples and monks in the four countries.

As a religious force, Buddhism and Taoism have always been evenly divided.

But there is a difference between the two.

Most monks are broad-hearted and fat, while Taoist priests are rarely fat.

The Buddha relies on gold, and the Tao relies on nature.

I'm going to have to put it on anyway.

However, Taoism is the state religion, which is common among the four countries.

Yuan Tieshan said very realistically: "I am a layman, I don't believe in Buddhism, but I believe in Taoism, because of Taoist feng shui luck and Taoism, which does affect the life trajectory of most people." ”

"When the Buddhists have a clear mind and an epiphany, I always feel that it is not so reliable. ”

"A person who stays in prison for a long time will also become enlightened. ”

"Those who understand that the right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life will also become enlightened. ”

"But the water of Buddhism is too deep, and I don't understand it, and when Your Majesty asked me this question, I had no choice but to answer it like this. ”

"But there is one thing, I still hope that Your Majesty will deal with it carefully. ”

The emperor asked rhetorically, "What is King Wu talking about?"

Yuan Tieshan said: "There are many ascetics, I have also seen, although I don't understand their beliefs in life, but I always feel respectable, if Your Majesty starts, those solemn big temples can be solved, such as those small temples, or forget it, leave a line in everything." ”

The emperor pondered: "I originally wanted to kill them all, but the affairs of the Buddhist family, such as oil and noodles, are not clear at all, so I can only find those thorns and deal with them." ”

"In doing so, I can fill the treasury a lot, but I will also bear a bad name. ”

Yuan Tieshan said heartily: "Infamy, justice is in the hearts of the people." ”

Destroying the Buddha is already the trend of the times, and even His Majesty has such a mind, what else can be done.

Yuan Tieshan has no indifferent attitude towards the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and there is no tendency, as long as everything is as usual.

Yuan Tieshan does not approve of this kind of thing of destroying Buddha, but after all, there are still some villain monks who need to be dealt with.

On the second day, the holy decree was conveyed in various parts of the Great Wei.

Monasteries covering an area of more than 20 acres shall be uprooted, and if they cannot be cleared within three months, they will be disposed of according to military law.

In Gusu City in the south of the Yangtze River, when Yuan Qing received this holy decree, he was also slightly stunned, so dignified, how to do this, but the king's heart is unpredictable, and Yuan Qing is not easy to ask anything directly, even if that person is his uncle.

Start the point immediately in the house.

The soldiers are divided into ten roads, and the temples around Gusu City will be cleaned up first.

As for Yuan Qing himself, he was quite interested in taking Liao Cheng's Five Peerless Hall, driving thousands of miles of smoke and clouds, and a thousand dragoons, to the Dichan Temple in Qingshan County.

At the beginning, the third brother was in the Dizen Temple, forcing a monk to cut off his arm, the reason behind that incident, Yuan Qing has also heard of it, and always feels that his third brother is a little too much, if Yuan Qing himself, if he doesn't die, this matter is really difficult to explain.

At the foot of the mountain of Dizen Temple, about a thousand warrior monks lined up together and stopped Yuan Qing's army.

Liao Cheng walked at the forefront and greeted the presiding monk Zhixu of Dizen Temple.

The Zhixu monk can be said to be dressed up to attend today, holding a Zen staff, hanging Buddhist beads, a golden robe, from beginning to end, dressed in gold.

He is nearly sixty years old, but no one knows how many years he has lived, his white eyebrows are flying, and his beard has a tendency to plummet down to 3,000 feet.

The Zen staff in his hand was paused on the ground, the treasure was solemn, and he was not angry and said: "The donor led the army to the Dizen Temple, I don't know what I want?"

Liao Cheng still has a lot of respect for the Buddhist family, and bowed slightly and said: "His Royal Highness, the prince of my family, is also acting on orders, unlike the major states and counties in the north, in the land south of the Yangtze River, the abbot only needs to explain the land, as for the Buddhist scriptures, as well as the daily needs of the monks, they can be taken away." ”

After hearing this, the monk of Zhixu still said solemnly: "My Zen Temple, which has a history of five hundred years in this place, has opened roads in the mountains, built bridges in the water, done more good deeds, and purified all sentient beings. ”

Yuan Qing rode slowly on a thousand miles of smoke and clouds, and he didn't plan to come down and talk to the Zhixu monk about it.

"As far as I know, in recent years, your incense money has been enough to pay off, and even have more. ”

"Moreover, some of your monks have colluded with local squires and tyrants, encroached on people's land, and occasionally bullied men and women, so you have to have an explanation. ”

When the Zhixu monk heard this, he was unmoved and said, "If His Royal Highness really wants the property of this Zen temple, then step over our corpses." ”

After saying that, the Zhixu monk sat cross-legged on the ground, and the warrior monk behind him folded his hands.

Then, the sound of chanting came and went, shaking the heavens and the earth, faintly, in the sky, countless golden scriptures appeared, which was quite shocking.

Yuan Qing touched the dragon horns shining in the clouds.

Then, a ball of flame that covered the sky and the sun erupted towards the Zhixu monk.

Liao Cheng drove the dragon scale horse and led the crowd to charge.

With a loud bang, the anger of King Kong erupted, and a huge Buddha seal crushed it.

Yuan Qing threw the dragon halberd in his hand and shouted at the dragoons behind him: "Charge!"
