Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

After resolving the grievances with Li Shenfu, Li You naturally gave the reason for keeping Daoqiu alone.

Li Shenfu, who learned the truth, also immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Before, it was only said that Daoqiu did it alone, but I didn't expect that there was a monk Hu planning behind it."

"Fortunately, I haven't initiated the extermination of Buddha on impulse. If these people really escape, it will be difficult to catch them again."

"As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. This time, You'er must kill the grass."

"The officials of Zongzheng Temple are at your disposal, and the people in my palace are the same."

The resolution of grievances made Li Shenfu's address to Li You naturally change, which is much more cordial than the previous address.

Hearing such a title, Li You's heart also warmed up, and he felt more recognition for this blood relationship that spanned time.

"Grandpa Shenfu, leave this matter to me."

"Those monks, I will keep them safe so that none of them can escape."

Originally, even without Daoqiu's help, Li You would let Jin Yiwei do his best to investigate this matter, but now with the help of more people, Li You is more confident.

Hearing Li Shenfu's remarks about destroying Buddha, Li You casually expressed his opinion: "In fact, it is not a good thing for the Taoist family to dominate."

"It is in the best interest of the imperial court to let them compete in a healthy way."

"I think as long as they are willing to give up their privileges, not accept believers at will, and include the property of the monastery in the tax system, it is actually enough."

Hearing this, Li Shenfu fell into thought.

Then he shook his head and said: "Your's words are correct, but are these Buddhist people really willing to do this?"

"If the imperial court announces such an order, it will be no different from exterminating Buddha in their eyes."

"If they can really agree to such a condition, why am I talking about exterminating Buddhas?"

Li You didn't expect that today's Li Shenfu was so talkative. After expressing that the matter was artificial, he asked Li Shenfu to rest first, and then he went to interrogate Wenqiu.

When Li You saw Daoqiu again in Shence Mansion, his condition was much better than before.

In addition to the bandages on his body, it was also because Li You showed him the hope of preventing the Buddha from being destroyed.

"Daoqiu, you must be responsible for what you have done, but Buddhism does not use it."

"But this matter can't be done by you. I need to talk to your senior brother. How can you make your senior brother trust me completely?"

Through consulting the classics in the system space, Li You found out that Master Daoqiu's elder brother, Master Daoyue, is a real generation of eminent monks, and his influence in the Central Plains Buddhism is not low.

If Daoyue could cooperate with Li You, maybe that compromise plan could really be worked out.

And in order to track down Monk Hu's whereabouts as soon as possible, Daoyue's cooperation is also essential.

Dao Qiu knew that he had sinned deeply, so he cooperated with Li You's actions very much at this moment.

"After King Yan saw my senior brother, he said that Qiu knew that he was wrong, and he will trouble senior brother with the trip to Shuangfeng Mountain!"

"The trip to Shuangfeng Mountain is a secret between me and senior brother. After hearing this sentence, senior brother will definitely believe the prince."

Li You nodded, wrote down what Daoqiu said, and then asked curiously, "Why are you going to Shuangfeng Mountain?"

"Are you going to see Sima Daoxin?"

In fact, the name Sima Daoxin was only clear to Li You after consulting the information recently.

Daoxin is the fourth patriarch of Zen Buddhism. Ever since Bodhidharma, the first patriarch of Zen Buddhism, came to the Central Plains to establish Zen Buddhism, Zen Buddhism has been in an embarrassing situation of being excluded.

It was not until the era of the Fourth Patriarch Daoxin that Zen Buddhism finally gained public recognition and a broad base of believers.

At this time, it has only been four years since Sima Daoxin set up a dojo in Shuangfeng Mountain to settle down and teach the Dharma, but he did not expect that the pair of brothers who were far away in Chang'an would go back to seek the Dharma.

Although Daoqiu was surprised that Li You knew Daoxin's name, he still nodded sincerely: "That's right, my brother has actually admired Master Daoxin for a long time, but he has been wandering around all over the place before..."

Li You nodded, he had no doubts about Daoxin's position in Buddhism, and he didn't want to know too much, what he wanted to know was being able to win the trust of Daoyue.

The next day, Li You brought people to Da Zongchi Temple.

After Daoqiu's incident, Dazongchi Temple has been closed down by Zongzheng Temple. Except for the monks from the original temple who are still inside, there is no outsider here.

It's not that these monks stick to the monastery, but that no one in the monastery can be let go until the Zongzheng Temple case is closed.

This is convenient for Li You to find someone to go with.

Soon, Li You met Daoqiu's brother, Master Daoyue, in the meditation room hosted by him.

After listening to Li You's words, Daoyue said regretfully: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord. Daoyue is very grateful for your kindness towards my teaching."

"But, hey, it's late, it's late!"

"If there hadn't been this incident, these Hu monks might have come here in two or three days, but with the current situation of the Dazongchi Temple, I think they will definitely not come here."

Hearing Daoyue's words, Li You was not ready to give up just yet.

"Isn't it just incense and believers, this is easy to handle."

"The King Renben of Zongzheng Temple will withdraw immediately, and I will also find a way for believers."

"It's just that monk Hu has to worry more about the mage, so don't make them suspicious when you go."

However, Li You's promise did not make Daoyue's expression relaxed: "But if they ask about the previous things, how should I explain it?"

Li You thought for a while and said, "Fortunately, Zongzheng Temple didn't announce anything to the public this time, and there are still variables in this matter."

"If those Hu monks ask, you can just say that Daoqiu was a doctor for the prince before, and that he offended the king."

"And you can also tell those Hu monks that this king has taken your pills by mistake and has become addicted."

"In order to get more pills, this king has taken Daoqiu as a hostage, so I ask you to take out more pills."

"You don't need to do anything more about the future, the king will naturally make arrangements."

Now that Li You had already made arrangements, Daoyue could only follow through.

After learning about these Hu monks' wolfish ambitions, Daoyue also turned pale with shock.

Although he thought that Monk Hu's plans were not small, he never thought that these people actually wanted to surrender the entire Central Plains to India.

Especially after Li You talked about the caste system in India, Daoyue's heart was completely biased towards Li You.

But in the end Daoyue also said: "My lord, even if I agree to the conditions you mentioned, I can't represent the entire Buddhist sect."

"I think the lord has to think of a way."

Li You also knew that he was telling the truth, so he nodded and said, "Don't you want to go to Shuangfeng Mountain? The person I want to come to Shuangfeng Mountain should be enough."

"When the time comes, help me spread the word that my king is here in Chang'an!"
