Datang: Son-in-law, I beg you to come out of the mountain

Royal Palace.

Li Shimin is reviewing the memorial.

Su Rujiang came to report.

"Your Majesty! Minister of the Ministry of War, please see me!"

Li Shimin paused, and put down the brush in his hand.

"Xuan!"

Hou Junji came in dressed in military uniform, and bowed to Li Shimin, "The last general kowtows to the emperor!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Pingshen!"

"You want to see me, what's the matter?"

Hou Junji smiled and said: "Your Majesty! I just received a report from Yancheng Castle in the frontier! The Tubo invaders have been driven to the Tubo border by my Tang soldiers! They were beaten and fled! They are in a terrible embarrassment!"

When Li Shimin heard this, he was very happy!
"here you go!"

These Tibetans are like flies, always coming to harass them!
However, because there were no such secret weapons as grenades and oxygen masks before!

Therefore, there is no way to take the Tubo people!Hit it, he will run!

You chase it!Ahead is the plateau!
So very troubled!
This is just great!With Yang Zhuo's grenade and oxygen mask, the Tibetan invaders can have a good drink!

"Your Majesty! The last general here has another copy, Tubo Zanpu, Songtsan Gampo wrote the peace petition!"

Hou Junji took out a copy of the imperial edict of the Tubo Kingdom from his body.

"Oh? Show me quickly!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Hou Junji handed the edict to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened it and saw that it was in Chinese!
Songtsan Gampo was really scared of being beaten this time!

Therefore, even the imperial edict was made very respectful!It turned out to be in Chinese instead of Tubo!
"Songtsan Gampo said in the imperial edict that he and I, the Tang Dynasty, will be reconciled forever! Peaceful coexistence!" Li Shimin smiled triumphantly.

Hou Junji sighed, and said: "The emperor is wise and powerful! Let Tubo dare not attack easily!"

Li Shimin likes to hear this flattering talk!

"Now, the border can finally be peaceful for a while!" Li Shimin said with emotion.

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that this grenade is a good thing! Using a grenade when attacking the enemy is like a miracle!!"

Hou Junji has seen the power of grenades before!The feeling of blowing up the enemy army to pieces is particularly bloody and refreshing!
Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji with a bloodthirsty look on his face, couldn't help shivering, and said: "Pass down the order! Reward the soldiers who drive out the Tubo invaders!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Hou Junji said respectfully.

Then, retreated.

At this time, another minister asked to see him.

That person is Changsun Wuji!
Since being mentioned by Li Shimin last time, Changsun Wuji didn't dare to be arrogant anymore, and began to restrain himself and behave in a low-key manner.

This time when Tubo came to marry the princess, Changsun Wuji came out specially to rescue Li Shimin. Li Shimin remembered Changsun Wuji in his heart, and he also disliked him before, but now it has faded.

"I bow to the emperor!" Changsun Wuji said respectfully.

"Wuji! How are you doing what I ordered you to do a while ago?" Li Shimin asked.

Changsun Wuji immediately bowed and handed over a piece of information.

"Your Majesty, this is the amount calculated by the minister, please read it over."

Li Shimin took it over and looked down. He was extremely shocked, and his brows became more and more gloomy!

"There are more than 17 temples! There are more than [-] monk houses! There are more than [-] monks and nuns!"

Changsun Wuji didn't know that Buddhism was so prosperous in Tang Dynasty before!
When he first saw this data, he was also shocked!
"Your Majesty! Why do you suddenly want to see the number of Buddhist temples?" Changsun Wuji was a little puzzled.

Li Shimin sneered and said, "This Buddhism should be repaired!"

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized!

It was so!
The emperor has now set his sights on Buddhism!

No wonder the emperor hated Tubo so much last time, but he still rewarded Tubo with scriptures and monks!

Cheng Yaojin was really right!
In the eyes of the emperor, this Buddhism has become a disaster!
Well, this time, the Buddhist Association has been purged and suppressed!

"Your Majesty, this Buddhism does not seem to have caused any harm to society, why should it be repaired?"

Changsun Wuji was a little puzzled. There are many believers in this Buddhism, and the common people are also superstitious, and they respect Buddhism very much.

Moreover, Buddhism also has a role in enlightening the common people. For example, asking the common people to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and to obey the destiny, these can make the common people settle down and prevent chaos!

Li Shimin saw that Changsun Wuji hadn't thought of the benefits brought by cultivating Buddhism, so he looked at Changsun Wuji with a smile.

"Wuji! You are usually quick-witted, but your eyesight is short-sighted." Li Shimin smiled.

Often despised by Yang Zhuo, now, it's his turn to despise others!
"Please speak, Your Majesty, and I would like to hear the details." Changsun Wuji knew that Li Shimin was going to pretend to be aggressive!

In order to make Li Shimin feel better, Changsun Wuji said respectfully.

Li Shimin smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "This Buddhism is extremely harmful. First, Buddhist monks and nuns are not allowed to have intercourse! You can't do Zhou Gong's rituals! Isn't this against human relations! Food and sex! Monks and nuns Some of them are young and middle-aged, at a young age, but they are not allowed to have intercourse, isn't this uncomfortable?"

Buddhism is different from Taoism. Buddhism has a precept called Lust Caution, which prohibits intermarriage!

Monks and nuns who violated the precept of lust will be punished!
"Since ancient times, it has been great to have no offspring! Buddhism is anti-human relations! If it continues to develop, and all the people in the Tang Dynasty believe in Buddhism, who will reproduce?! Isn't this world going to die?!"

Li Shimin's words woke up Changsun Wuji!
Yes!

These 17 monks and nuns did not reproduce!How many people are missing!
As the old saying goes, there is strength in numbers!How can this country be strong without anyone? !

"What the emperor said is true!"

Li Shimin smiled, and continued: "Secondly, this Buddhism is not about production, it's just eating fast and reciting Buddha's name all day long. The daily food and clothing are all donated by the people! Isn't this just increasing the burden on the people?! A waste of national resources!"

Changsun Wuji nodded, really!
Buddhism only knows about eating fast and reciting Buddha's name, not about production, and all the food and clothing needed are obtained from the people. This is simply a social burden!
"The third point is that monks in Buddhist temples are exempted from taxes, and land is exempt from taxation. How much good land is occupied by Buddhism as it continues to expand?! What's more, the people see that the land of Buddhist temples does not need to pay taxes, and they would rather give the land to Buddhist temples and become tenants of Buddhist temple land! How much money will the court have to lose!" Li Shimin said with a frown.

Datang is now in the development period!Need a lot of money, and land!
Buddhist temples occupy a large amount of land and do not pay taxes!This cost the court a lot of money!
Changsun Wuji also deeply agrees!
What's the matter, he has to pay taxes on his own land, but this bald donkey doesn't need it!
Then his country uncle is not as good as a bald donkey!This is so annoying!
"Fourth point, the big Buddha enshrined in Buddhist temples is different from Taoist clay statues! They use gold-plated bronze statues! Moreover, they are very big! If all the bronze statues are confiscated, how many copper coins can be made!" Li Shimin calculated.

The economic and social development of the Tang Dynasty requires a large amount of currency in circulation, and the copper mine is operated by the government, which is not efficient, the extraction is more troublesome, and the output is not high!
If all the bronze statues of Buddhist temples were melted down, they would be made into coins!That saves trouble and saves a lot of money!

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Changsun Wuji said with his eyes wide open and clapping his hands.

In this way, you can really increase a lot of money!
Solved the major headaches in the court!
"Also! The fifth point, as the saying goes, Bodhi doesn't care about things in troubled times, and the old man saves the common people with his sword. The Taiping Buddhist Gate welcomes pilgrims, and the Daoist retreats to the mountains and forests. Buddhism is of no help to the construction of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Shimin said sonorously.

Changsun Wuji's blood boiled with emotion from Li Shimin's poems!

Throughout history, this is true!

Taoism originated in our country, and it is more compatible with our traditional culture. Moreover, many people with lofty ideals in history came from Taoism!

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"You are so so so..." Li Shimin instructed Changsun Wuji.

-

Yangjiazhuang.

Yang Zhuo swallowed the elixir issued by the system, and he was as big as the Mai Lisu he ate before!

However, the smell is medicinal.

Yang Zhuo took out the elixir and put it in his mouth.

"This thing can wash bones and cut marrow, prolong life?!" Yang Zhuo was a little puzzled.

However, the system produced never disappoints!

Yang Zhuo put the elixir into his mouth, held a water glass, and swallowed it!

As soon as this elixir enters the stomach, there is a warm feeling.

Afterwards, the limbs and bones began to change slowly.

Then a burst of sticky liquid came out, and Yang Zhuo took a deep breath of filth.

Feel very light all over!That feeling is very cool!

Yang Zhuo walked out of the training room and went outside.

"Young master, why are you sweating profusely? Xiaoman prepares swimming trunks for you, go swimming."

After Xiaoman finished speaking, he took out a handkerchief and wiped Yang Zhuo's sweat.

When Li Lizhi heard that Yang Zhuo was going to swim, she hurried over.

"Brother Yang Zhuo, Zhi'er will wipe your water for you later!"

Yang Zhuo smiled and said: "It's just a swim, don't need so many people."

"Yes! They want it!" Li Lizhi said coquettishly.

"Okay! Let's go together then!" Yang Zhuo nodded and reluctantly agreed.

When Cheng Bilian heard Yang Zhuo's words, she hurriedly said shyly: "Then you all go, then I am so bored?"

Yang Zhuo understood what Cheng Bilian meant, and said with a smile, "Let's go together, anyway, the swimming pool is so big, ten more are enough."

Cheng Bilian nodded shyly and said, "Then I'll go get the bikini. Later, we'll compete to see who's faster."

Then, Yang Zhuo took them to the swimming pool to swim, and Yang Zhuo taught them how to swim.

An hour later...

Li Lizhi and the others were all tired, and they lay down on the edge of the swimming pool to rest.

However, Yang Zhuo still has the strength to swim in the pool.

"Brother Yang Zhuo, you're too energetic, you've exhausted us all, and you still have the energy to swim! That's amazing!" Li Li said emotionally.

"That's right! Young master, the durability is very long today!" Xiaoman said with satisfaction.

"My legs are weak, I don't dare to do this with you next time, my waist can't stand it!" Cheng Bilian also shook her head.

Yang Zhuo swam up from the bottom of the water and said with a smile.

"You guys have to practice more in the future, or you won't be able to keep up with my fast pace."

Yang Zhuo found that after eating this elixir, his physical strength increased several times!
