He didn't expect that the shape would become so fast, originally he and the crown prince were both believers in Buddhism, and they were ready to intercede for the Wutai monks together, even if they couldn't pardon the crimes of Dao Jian and the others, at least ask the emperor to pardon the other monks. didn't know that Zhao Ji actually said a few words, and he forced the situation to this step.

Zhao Ji has been on the throne for so many years, and this emperor has not done it in vain, and his ability to control the situation in the court is naturally not weak. He looked at Zhang Shangying with a sneer, and hated this guy who was going against his son and himself. No father wants his son to be instigated by others to oppose him.

Zhang Shangying snorted coldly and couldn't stop flowing, and was forced into a corner by Zhao Ji. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Buddhism is merciful and saves people." This is goodness to teach people to be good, and it helps to govern the world, but on the other hand, Taoism is useless, except for deceiving people, what is the benefit? Your Majesty, there are many sons of heaven who have died under the Taoist priest Jin Dan in the past dynasties......"

Zhao Ji's fine teeth clenched tightly, and he giggled: "Arrogant ......" was extremely annoyed in his heart, this was completely cursing himself to death!

He hadn't finished his sentence when he heard laughter. The voice was no one else, naturally it was Wen Fei. Immediately attracted everyone's attention. At this time, it seemed that Wen Fei had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and stood up.

Others thought he was pretending to be on such a critical occasion, but they didn't know that Wen Fei just wanted to end the banquet quickly at this time and go home early to observe the changes in the jade pendant. In particular, after the change of the jade pendant, can it still be ...... Through.

Although the Daqing Hall is the main hall of the palace, it can't actually sit many people. Most of the low-ranking officials. They could only sit outside the temple. Fortunately, they all sit in separate seats. Wen Fei's seat was even above the crown prince Zhao Heng, and he faintly fought against Zhao Ji.

At this time, Wen Fei laughed, many officials had nothing to do with themselves. I said in my heart: here, here. Father Shang was finally about to speak, but he didn't know what he would say.

The ministers of the court and the central government are all Confucian disciples, learning the Confucian classics, stepping into the official career, even if they believe in those Buddhism or something, there are very few Zhang Shangying, who is known as the protector of Buddhism in history. So it's none of my business. No one has shown up at such a juncture. Do a wall view!

Wen Fei laughed and stretched. I just feel refreshed, and there is not much comfort. As soon as he came back to his senses, he heard Zhang Shangying's words and immediately burst out laughing. Asked directly: "When the early Tang Dynasty was in the Tang Dynasty." What to believe, Taoism. After the late Tang Dynasty, what did you believe in? Buddhism. ”

This is a historical fact, every minister can mix to have a place in the Daqing Palace, and all of them are full of poetry and books. That Zhang Shangying can only argue that this is not the process of Buddhism, but he can't say that what Wen Fei said is wrong.

The early days of the Tang Dynasty. Taoism and Buddhism stand side by side, with Taoism as the main state religion in China. Li Yuan claimed to be a descendant of Taoist Laojun. In the early Tang Dynasty, the state was strong and the martial arts were outstanding; Buddhism gradually flourished, and it became the first manifest religion in the era of Wu Zetian in the middle of the Tang Dynasty; almost at the same time, the Tang Dynasty suddenly fell into the abyss and collapsed.

Wu Zetian died of illness a few months later after welcoming the Buddha's bones for the second time. Tang Xianzong welcomed the Buddha's bones for a year, and died of poisoning and vomiting blood in the main hall. Tang Zhongzong returned the Buddha's bones in his own right, and was poisoned by his wife and daughter a few months later. Tang Suzong welcomed the Buddha's bones and died violently the following year. Tang Yizong welcomed the Buddha's bones, and used national strength to meet it at an unprecedented cost, but unfortunately died a few months later, and the Huangchao Rebellion broke out the following year, and the Tang Dynasty entered the road of destruction.

These things were said by Wen Fei one by one. These are all historical facts, and Zhang Shangying cannot refute them. However, he said: "It's just that the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers don't practice political affairs, and Buddhism can only benefit the Tao, but it can't replace political affairs! If it weren't for Li Tang's monarchs and ministers believing in Buddhism, I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty would have perished earlier......."

Wen Fei sneered: "Then let me ask you, let's not talk about it, when was Western Xia strong? When Li Yuanhao was there, how many Buddhists were there in Western Xia, and how many are there now? Let me ask you again, Tubo, when it fought for Hexi with the Tang Dynasty, and even invaded Chang'an, how prosperous was the army, did it become declining after large-scale Buddhism was believed? And that Nanzhao...... Liaoguo ...... Throughout history, both in China and abroad, countries where Buddhism flourished quickly weakened and perished, but why is that?"

When these words were uttered, the faces of all the ministers changed dramatically, but few of them looked at the problems of Buddhism from such a historical perspective. Now that Wen Fei said it, they couldn't help but feel creepy when they thought about it. It seems that every country that believes in Buddhism on a large scale will gradually fall into decline......

Now even the lords of the country in China believe in Buddhism and still want to be reincarnated in the Great Song Dynasty. Even the emperor is like this, and the atmosphere of the whole country can actually be imagined. There were millions of cavalry, but after the Tanyuan Alliance, they never thought about destroying the Northern Song Dynasty again......

Zhang Shangying couldn't argue about this, and cold sweat rolled down her cheeks again. He gritted his teeth and said, "The minister has invited a few high-ranking monks to fight with the national teacher. Let's see which of the Buddha's ways is better or worse!"

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and walk it. What is the matter, arguing to the end, is nothing more than to see whose strength is strong!

Zhao Ji glanced at Wen Fei in embarrassment, and said, "Father Shang, look at ......"

Wen Fei was furious in his heart, and he was anxious to go home to observe the changes in the jade pendant, and he didn't want to cause more trouble. But now he was also angered by this series of provocations, and sneered: "I also wanted to see and see what those monks are capable of." However, these thieves are not worth my hands, so let my senior brothers in the house do it!"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he immediately nodded again and again, and said, "This is good." What kind of identity is Shang's father, how can he do anything with these monks. That's it!"

Wen Fei said with a smile: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the fighting method is better today!"

Zhang Shangying said that there was no way back now, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere, although he knew that Zhao Ji was already angry in his heart at this time. As long as they lose, there will be no good end, even if they win, it will not necessarily be better, but at this time he can only hold on.

Wen Fei has already labeled Buddhism as a disaster to the country and the people, if it can't be cleaned, then he is not the only one who is unlucky, but the entire Buddhism sect will be unlucky.

Wen Fei didn't care about the dull atmosphere in the entire hall, and filled his stomach by himself. Although the dishes prepared by the imperial chef of the palace are beautiful, the taste is quite ordinary, just like many large hotels in later generations. It is no wonder that the emperor of the Song Dynasty would send people out of the palace to buy snacks to eat.
