This is a world where martial arts and imperial power go hand in hand, and it's hard to tell who is stronger of the two.

In the past, in Zhao Hao's cognition, no matter how powerful a warrior was, for the imperial court, it was like a dry stone in the sea, even if it was difficult to be easily wiped out, but under the surging waves, he could only go with the flow and not see the light of day.

But in this world, it is different, in this world, the status of the warrior is infinitely elevated, and it can be called on a par with or even surpass the imperial power.

In the face of the three great masters, even if they are the masters of a country, they must treat each other with courtesy, and even carry out the courtesy of disciples.

For example, "Wuzun" Bi Xuan and "Yijian Master" Fu Cailin even had the power and prestige to change kings in Turkic and Goguryeo.

And the Tang Dynasty finally settled on the world, and the support of the strength of Buddhism led by Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Monastery is indispensable, especially the support of today's son Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin was still very young, he was valued by Cihang Jingzhai, and Cihang Jingzhai's No. 1 thug "Sanzhenren" said to Li Yuan when Li Shimin was still 100 years old: "This son will definitely help the world and the people in the future." ”

Li Shimin's name also comes from this.

With Ning Dodge's status in the world, what he said was even more effective than the Holy Decree.

Since then, Li Shimin has become the true son of Buddhism, and in the process of his growth, the support of Buddhism can be seen by everyone in the world.

If there is no help from Buddhism, Li Shimin has already died on the battlefield, and the matter of the eighteen stick monks saving the Tang King is known to the world, and now it has been compiled into various romance stories and circulated among storytellers, and the prosperity of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty can be seen.

However, under the situation of burning oil, there is a huge crisis hidden.

The leaders of Buddhism, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Monastery, are both hermit sects, even if the bet is successful, they are still able to restrain themselves, do not accept Li Shimin's reward, and live in the mountains to accumulate prestige, but it does not mean that everyone has the wisdom of both.

In recent years, the various sects of Buddhism have become popular and recruited believers, and Buddhism has gradually split, and many different doctrines have gradually formed.

Falling apart, right around the corner.

Of course, there are many wise people among the Buddhists, and some people have also seen this crisis, and have thought of a solution to organize the various Buddhists and choose a nominal Buddhist co-master, that is, the monk king.

Zhang Junbao had foreseen this trend a long time ago, but Zhang Junbao didn't want the position of monk to fall to the head of Jingnian Monastery or Cihang Jingzhai, so he finally chose Shi Zhixuan.

In Zhang Junbao's view, Shi Zhixuan is the only person who has the strength to bring Buddhism into the abyss of no return.

The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have always said that they regard the Demon Gate as a mortal enemy, but after the Tang Dynasty settled the world, the Demon Gate can be described as a complete defeat, and it all relied on the anti-water to retain a trace of vitality.

In the case of the collapse of the Demon Gate, the internal strife of the three families of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism inevitably came. Confucianism is okay, they still focus more on the court, and the focus of the wrestling is on Taoism and Buddhism.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the strength of Buddhism was unmatched, and even Li Shimin could not compete with it.

But as Li Shimin sat on the throne, the co-lord of the world also began to have other thoughts.

Buddhism's help to him is indeed undoubted, but as a wise and martial emperor, no one is willing to be a puppet.

Li Shimin is definitely an outstanding emperor who can leave his name in the annals of history, he has the political wisdom and political means that an excellent emperor should have, and Li Shimin has no psychological pressure at all to do such things as crossing the river and demolishing bridges.

Li Shimin's ten years in power is the decade of the transformation of the strength of Buddhism and Taoism, and Buddhism seems to be developing vigorously, but in fact it has reached the brink of crisis. And the Daomen has the strength to compete with the Buddhism in a quiet way.

As a representative figure of Taoism known as the "Taoist Master", Zhang Junbao's status is naturally rising.

It is not a secret in the world that Buddhism wants to elect a monk king, at least for Taoism.

As an opponent, of course, the Daomen cannot lag behind, and the Buddhism wants to choose the monk king, and they can't stop it, but they can also follow the example of the Daomen and elect a "Daozun" to lead the Daomen to compete with the Buddhism.

In the past few decades, the Daomen sects have indeed been suppressed and feared by Buddhism, and it is difficult for them to return to the environment they were back then, so they will inevitably rise up to resist.

It's just that whether it is a monk or a Taoist king, although it seems that it is only a matter of Buddhism and Taoism, but they are really related to the common people in the world, and Li Shimin will not sit idly by no matter what.

"Have you reconciled with Li Shimin?" asked Zhao Hao.

Zhang Junbao's general experience over the years, he almost already knows, what is lacking is only some deeper secrets.

Of course, Zhao Hao has no interest in these secrets. Just as he also has a lot of things that he doesn't want to share with others, he will also leave enough ** space for his disciples.

"Master, Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang are the same kind of people, and in their eyes, there is no eternal enemy. Besides, I didn't offend him to death back then, even if he still holds a grudge against me, what can I do?" Zhang Junbao's tone was indifferent, but the confidence in his bones couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"You're getting more and more like me. Zhao Hao sighed inexplicably.

Zhang Junbao's current demeanor is exactly the same as he used to be, acting lightly, but thunderous, almost conceited self-confidence, and unreasonably powerful.

"I am a disciple of Master, of course I am like Master. Zhang Junbao said disappreliantly.

"I want a disciple who lives his own life, not a parroting self. Those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die, Junbao, you have to take this as a warning and go out of your own way. Zhao Hao said solemnly.

Zhang Junbao was stunned on the spot, and after a while, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

For at least ten years, Zhang Junbao has not been so out of shape.

"Thank you Master for reminding me, Junbao almost lost his way. After a stick of incense, Zhang Junbao stood up and bowed to Zhao Hao.

"Master, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts, this is what I should do, of course, if I need you in the future, that is what you should do. Zhao Hao chuckled.

"Junbao will never give up. Zhang Junbao said.

Zhao Hao waved his hand and said lightly: "Don't be so serious, and finally remind you, don't forget that I was put on the spot by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, don't repeat my mistakes." ”

What happened on the Tianshan Mountains is an unforgettable memory for Zhao Hao and Zhang Junbao.

ps: Thank you again for the monkey's redness, plus more done.
