It was eerily quiet in the tent.

Hu Yanche and many Beihu horsemen frowned and gritted their teeth.

Tuoba Jun, the military advisor on the side, sighed: "Liang Xiao has purchased tens of thousands of good horses from the horse merchants in the Western Regions, and it seems that the cavalry under his command has begun to show its edge. ”

Hu Yanche said: "In the future, you can only attack with wolf horses?" It is better to enter Guanlong as soon as possible, just cut off the trade routes of the Western Regions, and you can't always let the merchants in the west go to Dazhou from the south side of the mountain range! ”

Tuoba Jun reminded: "Marshal, if the cavalry moves south in a big way, and there is no siege equipment, it will return in vain, and it will not only consume grain and grass, but also be easy to return defeated. ”

"Presumptuous! Our marshal has been on the battlefield for decades, and he has never been defeated! One of the riders was annoyed.

Hu Yanche stopped him, looked at Tuoba Jun, and said, "Do you think that our army should wait for the autumn harvest of the Great Zhou Dynasty and take the opportunity to go south, and still be able to get grain on the spot?" ”

"Exactly! At that time, the siege equipment has been completed, and it will be harvested in autumn when it is transported to the north city of Yanzhou. Tuoba Jun explained, and analyzed, "But letting Liang Xiao grow like this is definitely not a good strategy. According to the opinion of the lower officials, it is time to urge the Tianri Sect in the south to speed up its actions! ”

"What about the chips given to them? There's no way to transport gold or silver here. Hu Yanche said.

Tuoba Jun said: "Just let the Great Family do it for you, and it is impossible for the Tianri Sect to sit back and watch Liang Xiao develop, and sit back and watch the Great Zhou recover its vitality, and it will inevitably hit it off with my country!" Moreover, there are many officials in the Great Zhou court who are diehard loyalists of the Tianri Sect, but they are well hidden. ”

Hu Yanche thought thoughtfully: "It's just the right time to use those chess pieces. But our army must also act, otherwise we will not be able to comfort the fallen warriors, what should we do? ”

"Feint to attack the key to Long, and take Yanzhou directly, in this way, you can also test the attitude of the two to see if they have cooperated, if so, it will separate the relationship between the Great Zhou court, Guanlong and Bashu." Tuoba Jun said without thinking.

"Good!" After Hu Yanche praised, he made another difficulty, "If so, who can take on this great responsibility?" ”

Tuoba Jun said in a deep voice: "Naturally, it's Qin Xun!" Xia Guan recently figured out the situation and found that Qin Xun was not simple, and the information given was adulterated. Xia Guan suspects that he is not loyal to the Xiongnu, let alone loyal to the Tuoba clan, so he can also test this person's true attitude! ”

The capital, Huguo Temple.

In the main hall, Duan Yunyi folded his hands and was praying to the Buddha statue.

Liang Xiao and the others stood behind her, also clasping their hands together in prayer.

The monks on both sides looked embarrassed, just looking at Liang Xiao and his party.

Until Duan Yunyi finished praying, a leader couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so naturally you don't have to kneel down to worship the gods and Buddhas, but the Marquis of Lanling and others don't worship in this Huguo Temple, which is really against the rules of Buddhism......"

The monks echoed: "The rules of Buddhism are not something that you and an official can trample on!" ”

Liang Xiao frowned, staring at the group of monks.

"You wait for the six roots to be impure, committed the precept of anger, and were blinded by the name of Huguo Temple, but you are not worthy of entering this temple as a monk, it is better to be vulgar!"

Liang Xiao's rebuke made the faces of this group of monks more and more ugly.

Duan Yunyi was also quite displeased: "Liang Aiqing has contributed to the society, in the words of your Buddhists, it is immeasurable merit." ”

"Your Majesty, this Huguo Temple is the first ...... built by the emperor."

Liang Xiao's eyes lit up: "Where is the abbot?" ”

"He's on his way back."

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, from another point of view, even the monks of Huguo Temple are so virtuous, there are thousands of temples in the country, hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns, enjoying all kinds of tax-free privileges, earning enough incense money, wantonly collecting wealth and enclosing land, but they can't benefit the country and the people." The minister suggested that those who cannot study the Dharma should be ordered to return to the vulgar. ”

The monks were shocked.

The first one said: "If you slander the Buddha in this way, and even slander the Dharma, in a vain attempt to destroy the Three Jewels, you are an evil person, and he will enter the hell of Abi one day!" Aren't you afraid? ”

Liang Xiao replied angrily: "If you can make the people happy, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell?" ”

The rear Xuanwei applauded.

Duan Yunyi and the others couldn't help but applaud.

"What Liang Aiqing said, isn't it better than your Buddhism? If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, that's what Jizo Bodhisattva said, right? Duan Yunyi stared at the first seat, only feeling that praying was meaningless.

The first seat was ashamed, and immediately knelt down to apologize.

The abbot said that he couldn't hear the news and rushed back, so he hurriedly apologized to Liang Xiao.

"It's the old man who has no way to discipline him, and he is willing to be punished with the monks."

Duan Yunyi said: "I will consider Liang Aiqing's suggestion, and he may put it into practice in the future, what does the master think?" ”

"What the Marquis of Lanling said is that Buddhism cannot be profound, it should be vulgar, and it should not waste the country's money and food. The old monk's trip also brought advice, which coincided with the Marquis of Lanling. ”

I couldn't say anything, so I took the documents on the table and handed them to Duan Yunyi for a look.

Duan Yunyi looked at it, and his expression was slightly gloomy.

"This ink should be several months old, and the master also has the intention to streamline the Buddhist temple. This time, I won't delve into it. Starting from Huguo Temple, the Dharma of monks and nuns in the world is examined, and those who are not qualified will return to the world on the same day. ”

The surrounding monks were like mangs on their backs, and they all looked at them for help.

They are accustomed to eating imperial food, and they only need to "open" for one day every year, and they have no worries about food and clothing.

The effort required is only the recitation of excerpts from the two Scriptures.

Even when the emperor came to Huguo Temple, he had to pay three points to them.

This is the iron rice bowl that everyone envies.

Now that Duan Yunyi said this, it was equivalent to asking for their lives.

Liang Xiao looked at this group of monks calmly, without any pity.

He can understand the motives of the Three Martial Arts and One Sect to destroy the Buddha.

When some monks became greedy, it was the rule of the state that eventually swayed.

It's impossible to say this, but in Buddhism, he has the heart to change the status quo, and he is a veritable monk.

However, it is impossible to say that it has failed to restrain the monks of Huguo Temple, and there are only two possibilities.

Can't it be said that it is in vain?

Many of these monks in Huguo Temple have gone through the back door and been supported by the great family?

At this time of the year, the emperor generously gave 3,000 taels of silver, which was a huge amount of money.

At this time, Yunyi was serious on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart.

She had long wanted to improve the situation of monks enclosing land to accumulate wealth, but she couldn't find the opportunity.

Liang Xiao's performance today shows that her idea is not wrong.

If it's good for the people, go to hell and go to hell!

No one could have imagined that such an episode would occur during the trip to Huguo Temple.

The monks of Huguoji Temple paid the price for their arrogance.

"The Marquis of Lanling seems to have a unique view of Buddhism? Can you give me some pointers so that I can never forget to reflect on myself? ”

Maybe he finally couldn't help but ask Liang Xiao for advice, with a sincere face.

The monks also came to their senses, looking at Liang Xiao, hoping that he could make some mistakes and let Duan Yunyi take back his fate.

Liang Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in these. ”

Maybe he sighed helplessly, but unexpectedly, Liang Xiao's words changed.

"But I have a word for it."

Facing everyone's puzzled gaze, Liang Xiao recited word by word.

[Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust? 】

The scene was silent, and everyone was thinking about the reason.

I can't just feel that the Lingtai is clear and bows my head.

"The Marquis of Lanling's high opinion, the old man sighs to himself, remember in the future, remember!"
