"Where are the monks so arrogant?" Li Yue was unreliable when he heard it.

In these years, there are a lot of gods and monks, and they come to fool the emperor at every turn, even Ran Min has been tricked, and after listening to Fa Rao's flickering, he went out to play with Yuewan, which led to the defeat of Xiangguo, the destruction of 100,000 elites, and Ran Wei has been in a slump since then......

The last time there was a big chaos in Liangzhou, it was these monks who threaded needles and threads in it, and they were served by Wang Meng.

And now they dare to come to the door?

Li Yue's heart moved, could it be that he came to assassinate and take revenge?

Liu Yingdao, who was on the side, said: "All the countries in the Western Regions worship Shamen, since this person dares to come, he must rely on it, you might as well see it, if he speaks nothing, it is not too late to punish the crime." ”

Li Yueran said, it was good to see it, knowing that he was killing Shamen, and he dared to come to the door, at least this person was quite bold, so he was summoned.

"Little monk Lezun, meet Your Majesty." It was a Han monk with a bamboo cane, a thin body, a wrinkled face blown by the northwest wind, clear eyes, and a gentle and sincere voice.

This appearance made Li Yue feel good.

What I hated before was the fake monks who used the Dharma to make money, not the monks who were virtuous and knowledgeable.

"I claim to have a strategy to pacify the Western Regions, so I might as well say it." Li Yue doesn't like to be verbose and likes to get straight to the point.

Lezun clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, do you know why all the countries in the Western Regions are against each other this time?" ”

"Why?" Li Yue's heart moved, and his interest was immediately raised.

"All the countries in the Western Regions all practice Buddhism, there are thousands of pagodas in Qiuzi alone, Your Majesty suppresses Shamen, the monks and people in the Western Regions are afraid of it, and they are provoked, so it becomes today's thing, with all due respect to the little monk, even if Your Majesty can defeat the alliance of the countries, it is difficult to pacify the Western Regions." Lezun's face was sincere.

Being able to say these words shows that this person has some Taoism.

Of course, not everyone can believe in Buddhism in this era, and without some financial resources and knowledge, they can't live on their own, so what can they take to study Buddhism?

And he has a point.

It is not difficult to defeat the countries of the Western Regions militarily, but it is difficult to maintain long-term rule, with the strength of the Han Dynasty, let alone the current Liang State.

For talented people, Li Yue has always been respectful, the frivolity on his face has disappeared, and his title has changed, "What the great monk said is very true, I don't know if there is a good plan?" ”

"Your Majesty, do you know why Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty built the White Horse Temple?"

The reason why Shamen arose in the Central Plains was because Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to Tianzhu, extradited Buddhism, built the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and then revived the Lantern Festival to "burn the lamp and show the Buddha".

Everything is interconnected, and an emperor who has made a difference will not do these things for no reason.

During the reign of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, many major events occurred, such as sending Dou Gu to attack the Northern Xiongnu, annexing the Ailao Kingdom in the southwest, marching into the Western Regions, and setting up the Western Regions to protect the Western Regions, thus re-incorporating the Western Regions into the Chinese territory.

The introduction of Shamen was precisely to stabilize the Western Regions.

The exploits of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty have been underestimated in history.

However, there were too many Ming monarchs in the Han Dynasty, and most of them had a relatively high level, so the Chinese people would be named "Han".

"The great monk's eyes are as wise as a torch!" Li Yue immediately knew what was going on in his mind.

"Since Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty can tolerate Shamen, with His Majesty's eloquence, why should he refuse it?"

Smart people talk to each other, that's how refreshing.

Li Yue laughed, this Lezun is really not simple, he compared himself with Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, and secretly touted a wave, "The great monk Gao Jian, I am not destroying the Buddha, but cleaning the door for the Buddha. ”

In Middle-earth, the Shamen should be suppressed, but in the Western Regions it should be promoted.

To do everything, you need a starting point, and now Buddhism has become a cultural link between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

With this link, the Western Regions, the plateau, and the grasslands can all be connected.

And history is moving in this vein.

The greatness of Chinese civilization lies in the fact that it can tolerate any other culture, and Buddhism was introduced into China, combined with Chinese civilization, and rejuvenated.

"The little monk is here, but in fact, there is one more thing to ask for." Seeing that Li Yue was in a good mood, Le Zun took the opportunity to make a request.

"The great monk, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

He must have had his own intentions when he came at such a great risk.

"The little monk traveled to Dunhuang, to Mingsha Mountain, the golden light is full of light, it seems that thousands of Buddhas appeared, it is expected that this place must be a holy place, and I implore Your Majesty to dig a Buddhist cave to promote Buddhism and educate the Western Regions."

"Mogao Grottoes?" Li Yue was shocked.

The historical Mogao Grottoes are in Dunhuang, and it was built in this era.

"What?" Lezun was stunned.

"It's nothing, since the Buddha appeared on Mingsha Mountain during my western tour, it means that I have a relationship with the Buddha, and I should show my heart a little, there are craftsmen in the army, so I will let them build Buddha caves."

The eldest husband can bend and stretch, as long as he can maintain the rule of the Western Regions, Li Yue bows to the Buddha.

Besides, Buddhism is flourishing in Liangzhou and the Western Regions, which is the general trend of history, and we should follow the trend.

The construction of Buddhist caves can also reduce the hostility of the Western Regions countries towards the Great Liang.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the world has been fighting for more than 70 years, and finally met Mingjun, Huaxia will prosper, the people of the Western Regions are not all ambitious Hu people, and I hope that Your Majesty will open the net, and the essentials of Buddhism are all not killed, not killed, and protected by their own gods." Monk Lezun clasped his hands together and pronounced a Buddha horn.

Li Yue was happy in his heart, this monk had persuaded him to come here.

But everyone has their own position, he is a monk, and he is the emperor.

In this land of the Western Regions, how can you stop killing if you don't kill it? How can not killing deter ambitious people?

For the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions, the butcher's knife must be raised, and then we can talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality.

"The words of the great monk, I have written them down." Li Yue did not refute it in person.

What kind of battle this battle will be like still depends on Murong Chui.

With his ferocity in the Battle of Gaochang, it is estimated that he will not show mercy.

Second, Murong Trai killed too much, and he would definitely become the target of the court's attack, but Li Yue could use this matter to show his favor to Murong Trai.

Kill three birds with one stone.

Being an emperor is definitely not good if you don't have the heart of an emperor.

Monk Lezun is knowledgeable, astronomical and geographical, ancient and modern anecdotes, and he is also a strange person in the world.

Li Yue did what he said, and immediately ordered the craftsmen of the army to rush to Mingsha Mountain to build Buddhist caves.

The emperor's every move, forever the attention of thousands of people, and it is a major event like the Buddha, as soon as the news spreads, the Dunhuang scholars and the surrounding chiefs have generously donated money, money and people, and even the people have volunteered to help.

When someone else sends it to the door, you must not refuse.

Li Yue also used the construction of Buddhist caves to show his goodwill to Shamen, the more people, the greater the movement, and the faster the news was transmitted, so he gladly accepted it.

It is better for these people in Liangzhou and the Western Regions to study and study Buddhism more, so as to reduce their anger, so as not to think about killing people and setting fires, rebelling and separating the country.
