Master Jiaxiang looked at Li Chong with eyes that hated iron and steel, and said slowly: "Master Li, Lao Wei doesn't understand why you are so prejudiced against Buddhism with your intelligence. ”

Li Chong asked rhetorically: "Am I biased against Buddhism?" ”

Master Jiaxiang nodded and said, "Hasn't Gongzi Li been targeting Buddhism?" ”

Li Zhong looked at Master Jiaxiang carefully for a long time, and said leisurely: "In fact, Buddhism itself is good, teaching people to be good, all beings are equal, and saving the world, these are all very good remarks." It's just that what you're doing is too disappointing, and it's not the same as the outside, so you don't know what you're talking about, not the whole Buddhism. ”

Master Jiaxiang clasped his palms together, chanted a Buddha name, and asked very sincerely, "I...... There are inconsistencies between the outside and the outside, please ask Li Gongzi for advice. ”

With the conversation between Li Chong and Master Jiaxiang, the atmosphere in the Bell and Drum Tower turned out to be somewhat harmonious, which disappointed many "well-intentioned people". Master Jiaxiang's willingness to talk to Li Chong about the mistakes of Buddhism is not because Master Jiaxiang is afraid of Li Chong, but because Master Jiaxiang is a real monk, Master Jiaxiang himself has no ambitions, and the Zhishan Temple is not Cihang Jingzhai or Jingnian Zen Temple, and Master Jiaxiang supports Li Valve only because he thinks that Li Shimin can become a good emperor.

Li Chong worded a little and asked: "In this case, please ask Master Jiaxiang to answer me a question, Your Majesty (Yang Guang) dug the Grand Canal and conquered Goryeo three times, is it right or wrong." ”

Master Jiaxiang thought for a while, and said in an extremely slow voice: "The digging of the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south is indeed a measure to benefit all the people, but His Majesty is too eager to do so, and it is not advisable to work the people and lose money...... Undesirable...... As for the three conquests of Goryeo, Lao Gyun thought that it was even more undesirable, and the conquest would be contrary to the way of mercy. ”

Li Zhong then asked: "Then Master, please tell me how many people Your Majesty has requisitioned to dig the Grand Canal?" ”

This question was not asked knowingly by Li Chong. Li Chong really doesn't know whether the historical data is true or false, let alone a figure like Yang Guang who has been smeared very seriously. But there was no doubt about this question for Master Jiaxiang, so Master Jiaxiang immediately replied: "Your Majesty dug the Grand Canal to recruit more than one million people, resulting in no one cultivating along the Grand Canal, and the people are not able to make a living. Numerous casualties were immense. ”

"Taught!" Li Chong bowed his head and said: "Then let me ask again, how many monks are there in Buddhism?" ”

Master Jiaxiang couldn't answer for a while, Master Jiaxiang really didn't know how many monks there were during the Sui and Tang dynasties, Li Chong didn't need Master Jiaxiang to answer, and said to himself: "I don't know how many monks there are in Middle-earth, but it won't be less than 300,000 The number is not less than 300,000. Idlers who do not pay taxes, I just ask, if the monks in the world have to be sympathetic to the hearts of all the people, then these 300,000 monks who took the initiative to participate in the digging of the Grand Canal can reduce the burden of those people and save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. ”

Master Jiaxiang wanted to say that he couldn't, but he couldn't say it, and the reason for the heavy casualties of the people who dug the Grand Canal was very simple. It's nothing more than rushing the deadline, not eating well and resting well. Plus the overseers are cruel.

If there are hundreds of thousands of fat and strong monks who volunteer to work, the construction period of the Grand Canal will not be piled up with human lives, and Uncle Ma will not be idle to kill and play if there is no pressure on the construction period.

"And you still have money!" Li Zhong said unhurriedly: "You are really rich, I have been to the Jingnian Monastery, and the bronze hall of the empty monk is about to catch up with the annual tax of Luoyang City, I don't know why you have built the temple magnificently." Is it true that in the Buddha's heart, the magnificent temples are more important than the lives of the people, or are you building luxurious temples just for enjoyment? ”

"Don't say that you built the temple Buddha statue to show respect for the Buddha, did the Buddha say that he needs the Buddha's magnificent temple? Which Buddhist scripture has been written like this, please teach me. ”

Master Jiaxiang was speechless, there were some things that he would never think of if others didn't say it. I don't care, in fact, Master Jiaxiang and the other three holy monks are also quite wronged, he himself wants to devote himself to studying Buddhism, but he was dragged into the water by the air and the concubine Xuanshengsheng. Li Chong continued: "The master doesn't need to tell me anything about outsiders, if you are really outsiders, you won't choose the lord of the world with the He's bi, hehe......"

Not only was Master Jiaxiang silent, but the dozen or so monks behind Master Jiaxiang were also silent, and they were also speechless by Li Chongyi's words. The body is not afraid of crooked shadows, it does not mean that all believers are different from the outside, such as Sun Simiao, the king of medicine has truly cherished the people.

In silence, Dugu Feng suddenly asked: "Li Gongzi thinks that Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery are different from the outside, so what about Master Ning of Taoism?" Oh...... Master Jiaxiang, don't get me wrong, Dugufeng doesn't think that Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery are inconsistent, I just ask questions. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Li Gongzi's words really made Lao Qu embarrassed, and Lao Ge really didn't really practice it." Master Jiaxiang is indeed broad-minded and frankly admits his shortcomings.

Li Chong turned his head and smiled at Dugu Feng, and said: "To evaluate Ning Daoqi, we must start with Your Majesty's three expeditions to Goryeo, a large part of the reason why Your Majesty dug the Grand Canal is to prepare for the expedition to Goryeo, I think you won't have any doubts about this, right?" Master Jiaxiang is not wrong to say that the conquest is against the way of compassion, but there is a sentence I want to say to Master Jiaxiang that Buddhism has no borders, and monks have borders. ”

Master Jiaxiang shook his head, nodded again, he really didn't have anything to say about Li Chong's words, and Li Chong didn't expect Master Jiaxiang to admit anything, and then said: "Frankly speaking, among the three great grandmasters, I look down on Ning Daoqi the most, the three major grandmasters Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan, Fu Cailin, except for Ning Daoqi, the other two I admire very much, Bi Xuan has been trying to reconcile the contradictions between Tuli and Jieli, intending to make the Turks achieve unity in the true sense, drinking the Yangtze River, although Bi Xuan is the enemy of my Middle Earth martial arts, But Bi Xuan is indeed worthy of the country and the nation in doing so. ”

"Fu Cailin is the same, His Majesty made three expeditions to Goryeo, Fu Cailin went out with the army, and he worked hard to design to defeat our Middle-earth army and protect the people of Goryeo from the plundering of Middle-earth, which is respectable and lamentable. Later, he even sent his disciple Fu Junwu to infiltrate Middle-earth to assassinate His Majesty, and the plan was far-reaching, what do you think? ”

"Not bad......"

"Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin are indeed a character......

Dugu Feng and the others all nodded yes, just like Li Chong, even if Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin were enemies of the Middle-earth martial arts, everyone had to admit that Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin were indeed worthy of admiration.

"Knin Dodge!" Li Chong's voice became a little high-pitched: "What was Ning Daoqi doing when His Majesty conquered Goryeo three times, there were idlers who gave people criticism, and shamelessly said that someone has the appearance of helping the world and the people, I don't know what to say, my country is not in civil strife, Ning Daoqi is uncomfortable, isn't it." I won't say anything else, if Ning Daoqi goes out with the army to contain Fu Cailin when His Majesty is on the third expedition to Goryeo, will my hundreds of thousands of troops in Middle-earth be defeated? ”

"This person is called a great grandmaster, and he has not contributed to Middle-earth at all, far inferior to Shi Zhixuan."

Li Chongyi smiled and came to a conclusion. (To be continued.) )
