Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

On its own, Zen is still better, but for Datang, if many people escape into Buddhism, then whoever will farm and who will join the army.

Speaking of it, this matter still has a lot to do with him. Originally, the development of Daoism is still possible, at least many of the upper-level dignitaries are enveloped by Daoism, not Zen.

However, last time he directly broke the news about the poisonous alchemy for the sake of gunpowder.

As a result, the reputation of the Daoist sect was seriously damaged, and many of the courtiers were afraid that they would not be able to make it, so they directly abandoned the Daoist sect.

The Taoist sect, which was originally on the weak side, is now even more crushed by the Zen sect.

As a result, this time the eminent monks of the Tiantai Sect came to preach the Dharma, which made the Taoist sect nervous.

The Dao School hadn't restored its previous influence in Chang'an before, but the Zen School wanted to intervene instead, how could this be tolerated.

"Let Qingze come to the academy."

After thinking about it for a while, Shu An still spoke out, and if there is a cause, there will be an effect.

Whether it was the previous reason or the reason of his origin, it is doomed not to let this matter go unnoticed.

What's more, Shu An didn't think much of the words of Zen, mainly because he didn't like some teachings of Zen.

Could it be that eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha can make Huaxia develop? This is simply impossible.

"Yes, sir!"

Laifu said without hesitation, then turned and left to arrange.

And Shu An's eyes revealed a gleam of light as he watched Lai Fuli's leaving figure. You must know that throughout the Tang Dynasty, the shadow of the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism was buried in history.

However, more often than not, it is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to restrict Zen, because the doctrine of inaction in Taoism has led to not many believers.

This matter still needs to be carefully planned, presumably Li Shimin in the court should also be troubled by this matter.

You must know that with the end of the Liaodong and Grassland Wars, it means that there is no threat from the outside of Datang.

Then when it was time to rectify the interior, I guess Li Shimin must have thought the same way.

Among them, the Zen School is also the object that needs to be rectified. Of course, Li Shimin must also know that it is impossible to drive it out.

But it will definitely be restricted, that is to support Taoism, and it is for this reason that Shu An is not as anxious as he imagined.

Although Shu An was not in a hurry, someone was like an ant on a hot pot.

"I've seen Duke Anxuan!"

Qingze's respectful voice sounded, and after getting the answer, he hurried over without daring to delay at all.

"Have some tea!"

"Long time no see, how is Fellow Daoist?"

A smile appeared on Shu An's face and he said that in future generations he will be regarded as a person without faith, but he will still be closer to the Taoist sect.

This has nothing to do with belief, but mainly because the teachings of Taoism make him like it.

"Thank you, Lord Anxuan, for your greeting."

"However, Qingze has been unable to sleep at night recently, and has been worried about the development of Daoism."

......

Qing Ze didn't make many twists and turns, but described the recent situation in simple words.

Among them, Shu An also had no plans, instead, he just listened to Qing Ze's narration, after all, he had been away from the Daoist sect for many years.

I don't know much about Taoism, but I can hear a lot of helplessness from Qingze's words.

Taoism is also not monolithic, and not many people agree to oppose Zen.

After all, the Taoist sect pays more attention to the word fate, and they prefer to find a place deep in the mountains and old forests for Qingxiu.

There are not as many conflicts with Zen as imagined, but people like Taoist Qingze still have a deep sense of crisis in their hearts.

If one day everyone knows about Zen, but not Daoism, then maybe there will be no one to accept disciples.

It is for this reason that Qingze has been working hard for Taoist unity and confrontation, but unfortunately some things have not achieved great results.

Chapter 6 Twelve Response and Support

If it wasn't a last resort, then Qingze didn't want to trouble Duke Anxuan, but now that the eminent monk of Tiantai sect came, Qingze was a little flustered.

Because there was no news before, he has no preparations now.

If there is no action this time, let this eminent monk give a speech in Chang'an, then the hearts of Taoist sects that Qing Ze has managed to gather will probably be scattered.

It's no wonder that Qing Ze is very anxious, there is a reason for this, and it is Shu An's own reason.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had dealt a lot of blows to the Daoist sect last time, Qing Ze would not be so anxious now.

Even if this eminent monk teaches the Dharma, it is a pity that there are so many ifs in the world.

If Shu An had to choose again, then he would definitely choose gunpowder. If there was no gunpowder, the two subsequent wars would not have been so smooth.

Compared with internal problems, Shu An cared more about external problems.

"How can I help with this matter?"

Shu An's eyes flickered, but he was thinking silently in his heart, even if he knew that Li Shimin had made a move.

But it has nothing to do with him. It can only be said that Li Shimin is a potential ally in this matter.

In Shu'an's opinion, the best way to suppress the Zen sect is great governance. As long as the common people have food to eat, then naturally they don't need to rely on gods and Buddhas.

In troubled times, it is also a time of lack of faith, and it is precisely because of the previous reasons that Zen has risen rapidly.

However, it is precisely because it has risen too fast that Zen is not so stable. If it is stable, it will be even more difficult to suppress it.

As for the elimination, it is fundamentally impossible. It is clear from the continuation of Zen in history.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all, the premise is that the emperor is determined, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy.

Pulling a hair can move the whole body, and before you know it, the influence of Zen has spread all over the entire Tang Dynasty.

Even the entire Tang Dynasty supported Taoism against Zen. It can be said that the dispute between Buddhas continued throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty.

"Maybe you can consider playing in the ring."

There was a gleam in Shu An's eyes and he said, it is not so easy to stop this matter.

But if you want to disturb it, then it is much simpler.

"I also ask Lord Anxuan to enlighten me."

However, Qing Ze obviously didn't understand what Shu An meant, so he couldn't help but humbly ask for advice.

Even if Shu An couldn't help but feel a headache seeing this scene, this Qing Ze is too careless.

Although he had the heart to be a Daoist, but obviously the means were not enough, Shu An couldn't help but secretly sighed inwardly.

"For example, when this eminent monk is teaching the Dharma, it is entirely possible for Taoist disciples to help out with porridge."

There are some words that even Shu An can't say, but I still reluctantly give an example.

This example made Qingze's eyes light up slightly, obviously thinking that An Xuangong's method was good.

Since they can preach the law for the powerful, why can't Taoism help the world.

"Duke Anxuan, the Taoist sect does not have as much financial resources as the Zen sect."

"What if Zen sect also follows this method?"

Of course, Qing Ze also had some brains, and quickly asked his own questions.

"This matter is not difficult to calculate."

"Some people don't want to see the Zen family dominate."

Facing this question, Shu An showed a mysterious smile on his face and said.

Obviously, in his opinion, Li Shimin was taken for a ride.

Besides, food should not be a problem for Li Shimin. Whether it is Lingnan or Annan, the continuous supply of food is in Li Shimin's hands.

But it's normal to think about it. For Lingnan and Annan, there are three seasons in a year, as long as they are casual.

Regardless of whether the harvest is good or bad, it is certainly not uncommon to produce more grain in a year.

Naturally, it is impossible for Li Shimin to let go of this piece of fat, and now Li Shimin's food can secretly compete with Shimin also benefited from these two places.

Naturally invincible, natural food is no longer a problem for Li Shimin.

Even if the Zen school is so rich, compared with the emperor, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Qing Ze nodded half-understanding, and also had some guesses and thoughts in his heart, but he didn't say it out.

In the end, Qingze left the alienation with a satisfactory answer, but Shu An felt a little uneasy about Qingze being in charge of the Taoist sect.

"Laifu, occasionally give some suggestions to help the Daomen."

After thinking of this, Shu An couldn't help looking at Lai Fu and said.

It is Laifu who has the most contact with Daomen, not him. In many cases, some words are more appropriate for Laifu.

"Master, Laifu understands."

On the side, Lai Fu showed a smile on his face and said, obviously he already understood what his master meant.

After all, my master is a sage, so it is enough to entrust him with calculations.

"Send another person to pay attention to the court's reaction to this matter."

Shu An continued to speak out, no matter what, because of him, Zen and Taoism have been out of balance.

If Li Shimin didn't respond, then it would be a strange thing.

.......

In fact, Li Shimin in the court also frowned.

It has only been stable for a few days, and even this emperor rarely has a few days of leisure.

Accompanying Guanyin's maidservant and many children, but he didn't expect to add trouble to him now.

It is impossible not to have some resentment towards Zen, but it still needs to be dealt with.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin still didn't come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

By the way, there is also a lot of resentment in my heart, but this time the resentment is from Taoism.

"The Daoist sect is indeed a bit disappointing."

Li Shimin couldn't help thinking silently, you must know that since he ascended the throne, he has raised his Taoism several times invisibly.

But Taoism is still suppressed by Zen, especially the last incident still made Li Shimin worry about it.

Although there are some thorns in his heart, fortunately, Li Shimin is also a person who knows right from wrong.

Those people have already been severely punished, and the entire Taoist sect cannot be implicated.

However, he could also feel that the Taoist sect's aura had begun to weaken since that time.

Moreover, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and a lot of rumors have been revealed about this matter.

Naturally, people in the Taoist sect became more cautious, but Li Shimin's eyes fell on Li Junxian at this time.

"Does Daomen have any actions?"

Although it is not up to expectations, the support should still be supported, because there is nothing more suitable than Daomen.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing."

"Just now there was news from Baiqi that Qing Ze, the leader of the Taoist sect, went to the academy to visit Duke Anxuan."

Li Junxian said respectfully from the side, he was naturally clear about His Majesty's thoughts, so he made people pay close attention to the Taoist sect long ago.

Chapter 6 Thirteen

"It seems that the person in charge of the Taoist sect is not too stupid."

Li Shimin said a little faintly, since Yafu chose to meet, it means that there is still a lot of Taoism in his heart.

It can be seen from Li Chunfeng before that, in this case, the two represent standing on the same line.

For this point, it is good news for this emperor. After all, if Yafu is against him, then there will be some headaches.
