Chapter 204

In the Hall of Taiji, the emperor Li Ershu's case piled up like a hill of case files, all of which were found or reported to the temple for illegal crimes.

If it were in the usual way, His Majesty Li Er would definitely be furious and yell at these monks as court moths. When it comes to accountability, a lot of people will jump out to stop them.

It's all right now, the altar collapsed and the people spontaneously resisted. If the court finds out more evidence of a crime, it will deepen the fact of crime, and the people will hate it more. Which emperor would not be happy to see the success of overthrowing this century-old difficult bone?
"Your Majesty, in the past, I only knew that the Buddhist sect was full of powerful fish and dragons, but I didn't expect it to be so evil. There are many evil deeds and crimes. It is simply a cancer that harms the people. It is almost infiltrated from the court officials to ordinary people. The pervasiveness of this matter is extremely frightening to think about, His Royal Highness King Qin sacrificed himself this time to eliminate this harm for the imperial court, and he should be rewarded!"

Who is speaking?It was the Taishi Ling of the current dynasty—the old minister Fu Yi!

This old official can be said to be the No. 1 opponent of Buddhism in the early Tang Dynasty. During the reign of Wude, he wrote a letter about the disadvantages of Buddhism.Therefore, those who are unfaithful and unfilial cut their hair and bowed to their relatives;Act out his demon books, describe his evil methods, falsely enlighten the three ways, absurdly spread the six ways, intimidate fools, and defraud the mediocre.For all the common people, there are few people with common sense, they don't know the root cause, and they believe in deceit.It is the sin of chasing the past and falsely predicting the future.Donate a penny, hope for ten thousand times the reward; hold a day of fasting, hope for a hundred days of food.So they make fools, seek merits and virtues arbitrarily, don't fear the ban, and lightly violate the charter.Some of them committed evil acts and fell into the punishment net. The only way is to pay homage to the Buddha in prison, recite Buddhist scriptures, forget fatigue day and night, and forgive their crimes.And life, death, and longevity are due to nature; punishments, virtues, and blessings are the masters of the gate.It is said that the rich and the poor, the noble and the humble, are recruited by meritorious deeds, and the foolish monks are deceitful, all of which come from the Buddha.Stealing the power of the master and arbitrarily using the power of creation will harm the government, which is very sad!
(ps: After stating the harm of Buddhism, he quoted the scriptures and classics to learn from the ancients, and strongly stated the key points) The original text is as follows: The "Book" of the case says: "Only provide blessings and prestige, only provide jade food. Ministers have blessings, prestige, Jade food is detrimental to the family and evil to the country, and it is quite out of the way for people to use it." Descending from Xi and Nong, as far as Han and Wei, there is no Buddhism, the monarch is bright, the minister is loyal, and the job is long.Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty pretended to be a dream, and began to set up Hushen, the Sangmen of the Western Regions, and passed on his methods.From the Western Jin Dynasty onwards, there were strict state-owned laws, and Chinese people were not allowed to engage in unruly behavior.In Fu and Shi, the Qiang was indiscriminate in chaos, the rulers were mediocre and the ministers were sycophants, and the government was abusive and the people were short, all of which were disasters caused by Buddhism.Liang Wu and Qi Xiang are bright mirrors.In the past, Baosi had a daughter who bewitched the king of You and led to the subjugation of the country; what's more, there are hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns in the world, who are carved with colored silk and dressed in clay figurines, and they are disgusting and confuse people of all surnames!
(Finally, a trick was proposed to subdue Buddhism.) The original text is as follows: Today's monks and nuns, please make a match, and there will be more than [-] households.Give birth to men and women, raise them for ten years, and learn a lesson from the first century. Naturally, it will benefit the country and be able to become a soldier.The four seas are free from the calamity of encroachment, and the people know where the prestige and blessing lie, so the wind of demons and confusion will be cured, and the simplicity will be revived.

(PS: The original text of this paragraph is simply a classic, and it is still unclear to read it today. It severely criticizes the harm of Buddhism to the country from the perspective of a ruler, and it is not outdated even now, so I quote the full text here to share with you .)
If Li Yuanying sees this old man, he will definitely applaud him, isn’t it? There are many monks and nuns in the world, and the government will allocate them to combine them. Laboring, and then giving birth to children, is also a great improvement to the growth of the population.

Emperor Li Er smiled and said: "Come here, give Fu Aiqing a seat. Aiqing has worked hard these days."

"Working hard for the country dare not speak bitterness. Compared with the King Qin who destroyed the law with his body, what is this old bone of a veteran worth?" Speaking of King Qin, Fu Yi couldn't hide his sadness.

Emperor Li Er nodded and said with emotion: "I also feel the same way. You just said that King Qin should be rewarded. As a king, I am very pleased to see King Qin sacrifice his life for the country. way in exchange for benefits.

Hey... If I really have the ability to keep my promises, I will reward Goro with a good body that will survive all diseases and live a hundred years, what a pity..."

At this time, Du Ruhui stood up and reminded: "Your Majesty, there are Dr. Sun and other imperial physicians here, and His Royal Highness King Qin is not an ordinary person. I think it will be a matter of time before the antidote is made. If it is a reward, it is better to reward His Highness the Little Princess. I must be His Royal Highness King Qin." You will be happy too."

"The old minister seconded the proposal!" Tai Shi Ling Fu Yi stood up and said in agreement.

Fang Xuanling also followed suit.

Li Er nodded and said: "Pass the decree, promote Doudou to a higher level, and reward her... What can I do to reward her? This child is more capable than my second uncle. There is no shortage of precious items, rare animals, and even money. No shortage, tsk tsk... really made me into trouble!"

While speaking, he looked at the advisers around him, yes, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui had no idea, the old minister Fu Yi got up and said: "Your Majesty, the little princess should be at the age of school, if it is normal, she should study at the Hongwen Museum , why not find a famous teacher for her alone?"

"Oh? What's Aiqing's strategy?" Li Er asked curiously.

"The veteran recommends the crown prince Shaobao Li Gang and Li Wenji. If you say that he is a famous teacher in the dynasty, it must be him!"

Li Gang?Li Er remembered such a learned and great Confucian, he was extremely personable, not only had a high reputation, but also had been a prince Fu in two dynasties, it was absolutely right to choose him as a teacher.

"Okay, Aiqing is really strong. I will personally write a letter later. I would like to trouble Aiqing to go for me and ask Mr. Wen Ji to come out of the mountain." Li Er kept his posture very low. After all, Li Gang was a veteran of the three dynasties. It is to invite others to come over to help educate the children, and the due courtesy is in place.

Fu Yi accepted the order happily, "Your Majesty, I have one more request. Today I want to go to court early to visit His Highness King Qin."

Li Er laughed loudly and said: "Yes, Aiqing has worked hard for many days, and today I am going to take a day off to take a bath. Why don't you invite Mr. Wen Ji to go to the tavern of the fifth brother, the food there is the best in the world!"

... Fu Yi glanced at him strangely, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this old minister is here to visit patients, not for delicious food."

Everyone laughed, and then Li Er wrote the letter and ordered someone to accompany the old lady Shi Ling out of the palace. Du Ruhui, who had always been serious, said, "Thanks to Tai Shiling asking for leave in advance, otherwise Xiao Xiangguo will come later, and the two of them Definitely going to fight again."

Pfft... Everyone laughed again, Fang Xuanling said, Lao Du, you have learned badly, which pot can't be opened and which pot can be lifted. Xiao Yu is famous for believing in Buddhism, Fu Yi is famous for resisting Buddhism, Wu De Qi Nian and Nian quarreled with each other because of Buddhism, Xiao Yu couldn't explain it, and almost didn't piss off old man Xiao, so come this time?And at this time, with the attitude of a winner?Isn't that crushing?

"Cough cough, be serious when you come here, don't let me overhear..." Old Li Jing reminded with a light cough.

Everyone looked outside, and sure enough, two figures, one fat and one thin, approached hand in hand, the one who was half a step ahead was thinner Xiao Yu, and the one who was half a step behind was slightly fatter was Changsun Wuji.
