Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

The Zhike monk looked around, and then cautiously said: "Master, I heard that the second wife of the Qin family, Miss Wu Jue, believed in my Buddhist family, but for some reason, she broke contact with my Buddhist family."

"If the little monk can catch up with Mrs. Wu Jue's line and make Mrs. Wu Jue believe in my Buddha again, then our Buddhist family will save all living beings from now on, and we won't have to be restricted everywhere."

After the Zhike monk finished speaking, he was complacent and proud of his cleverness and wit.

The development of Buddhism cannot be separated from politics.

Without the belief and support of the superiors, Buddhism would not be easy to promote anyway.

Now, the son-in-law Qin Mu is in full swing in the Tang Dynasty, and the status of the Qin family in the Tang Dynasty is self-evident.

And today the son-in-law came to the temple to meet the host in person.

Zhike monk feels that this matter is almost inseparable.

With the support of the Qin government, it will be a matter of time before Buddhism spreads all over the world.

However, when Xuanzang heard this, his eyes twitched.

He discovered that the son-in-law really has the ability to predict the future.

Sure enough, some people in Da Ci'en Temple have started to plan for political backers.

Followed by.

Xuanzang didn't stop him, and continued to ask, "Apart from this, do you have other ideas?"

The Zhike monk licked his face, and hurriedly said: "Presiding officer Shengming, I think the location of our Da Ci'en Temple is very good. If the land is approved again, we can build some scripture houses and rent them out to lay disciples who chant scriptures and worship Buddha. The Ci’en Temple lends part of the money to the people, but charges some interest.”

The words fall.

The corners of Xuanzang's eyes twitched again, and the business of houses and loans had already started.

This......

Is this the Da Ci'en Temple that he built alone?

Xuanzang knew in his heart that his son-in-law intervened in his journey to the west, and he also did many private affairs for the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, he thought that the son-in-law would let him die on the way, but later he didn't. He found that the son-in-law didn't seem to take his journey westward to heart.

Even after returning to Chang'an City, he did not interfere with anything in the Buddhist family.

But he knew that the son-in-law didn't like Buddha.

But today, at the Great Mercy Temple, what the son-in-law said made Xuanzang feel a little confused.

He didn't know what connection Da Ci'en Temple would have with politics and economy.

But now he can see that everything is under the control of the son-in-law.

Every move of Da Ci'en Temple is in the eyes of the son-in-law.

Xuanzang continued to ask, "Have you ever mentioned this to others?"

"Others?" The Zhike monk was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, I have never told anyone about expanding the monastery, visiting the Qin Mansion and building a jingshe, and lending money to the people."

Xuanzang frowned, and asked doubtfully, "You really haven't mentioned this to anyone?"

The Zhike monk didn't understand why, so he hurriedly said: "I swear, I never told anyone."

Xuanzang could tell that the Zhike monk was not lying.

But Xuanzang really couldn't figure it out, if no one had mentioned it, how did the son-in-law know about it?

Unexpected prophet?

Spy on secrets?

Just like the case of the debate, Xuanzang was sure that something big was about to happen, but he was cracked by the son-in-law, and the son-in-law was worried, so he came to see it again.

And this political economy thing.

It seems that the son-in-law can foresee the future.

Foresee the future?

Isn't that God?

Xuanzang really couldn't figure it out, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.

The son-in-law is a person he can't see through,

"Host?" Seeing Xuanzang in a daze, the Zhike monk couldn't help reminding.

Hearing this, Xuanzang came to his senses and said immediately: "Stop all your current actions, don't expand the temple, and the Qin government doesn't have to go again. From now on, the amount of incense money will not exceed ten guan. All the more incense money will be donated, and the money will be donated. Donate to Mangya Public Welfare. Don’t build the monastery, and don’t borrow money to lend food to the people.”

Hearing Xuanzang's words, the Zhike monk looked puzzled and asked: "Why is this abbot? This is a plan that the little monk finally came up with. Why did you deny everything? What are you afraid of? Someone told you What?"

"This is related to the future of our Da Ci'en Temple and the future of Buddhism. Isn't it your vision to save all living beings? Isn't it your vision to prosper Buddhism? The monk is doing this for the good of the presidency and for the great mercy The temple is good, but also for the development of Buddhism."

Zhike Monk looked bewildered, he really didn't understand why Xuanzang would say such words.

Didn't the son-in-law just leave?

Isn't the son-in-law a faithful believer in Buddhism?

Xuanzang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Just do what I say. From now on, my Great Mercy Temple will no longer be contaminated by any secular world. I will only pursue Buddhism wholeheartedly. Don't look for any political background, don't look for it. Don’t get too involved with mundane things like money.”

The Zhike monk looked confused and said in confusion: "Master, this..."

Xuanzang sighed, "Just do as I say, I'm a little tired, this matter ends here, don't mention it again in the future, that's it."

After hearing these words, Zhike Monk nodded helplessly, and then left the room.

Xuanzang didn't want to say, and he couldn't continue to ask.

It's just that he still didn't understand why Xuanzang let go of such a great opportunity for development and ignored it. It's really incomprehensible.

……

Qin Mu walked out of the gate of Da Ci'en Temple and headed towards the Qin Mansion.

Xue Rengui didn't understand very much, and asked: "Master, don't you always have a bad impression of Buddhism? Why did you come to Da Ci'en Temple for a special visit today? Could it be that Monk Xuanzang is going to do something again?"

On the other side, Wang Xuance did not speak.

He followed Xuanzang all the way to the west.

There are too many things I have seen and heard along the way.

In fact, he can also see that in most countries, religion is just a political tool for the superiors to fool the people.

How many people really want to save sentient beings?

But Xuanzang can probably be counted as one.

However, this is only Wang Xuance's one-sided view.

Because he can't see through Xuanzang, he can't see through Xuanzang.

I don't know what's on his mind.

Moreover, Wang Xuance doesn't believe in Buddhism, so he doesn't know where the fanaticism in the hearts of these believers comes from?

In his view, there are also many contradictory words in Buddhism, and there are many contradictory people.

He has seen too many, temple hosts don't distinguish between wine and meat, money and sex, and even spend more money than ordinary people.

He even met a host who accepted five hundred female disciples.

However, Xuanzang still maintained a devout heart of worshiping Buddha to those people.

As for what those people did, Xuanzang just lamented after returning, with helplessness still revealed in his eyes.

Maybe he knew he couldn't save all sentient beings.

Chapter 1294 Li Er Comes To Apologize (3/3)

Listen to Xue Rengui's words.

Qin Mu smiled, and said lightly: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. People are greedy, and everyone is no exception, even these monks are no exception."

"Maybe Xuanzang is dedicated to being a Buddha, practicing the Dharma, and saving sentient beings, but are all the people in the Buddhist sect? Not necessarily? Money, power, wine, sex, they may all be infected."

"I think Xuan Ce should be very clear about these things. After all, he followed Xuanzang all the way to the west, and there must be many wonderful things along the way."

After hearing this,

Xue Rengui turned his head to look at Wang Xuance, and said excitedly, "Xuance, tell me quickly, what other thoughts do these monks have other than chanting scriptures?"

Wang Xuance smiled helplessly, "They have a lot of ideas. The son-in-law is right. In fact, money, power, wine and sex are very common in monasteries, and some monasteries are even political refuges."

"What do you think they are for? What do you think they are taking the incense money for? But it's all to satisfy their own selfish desires."

"Why are they working so hard to build the largest and most luxurious temples? Is it really to find a good place for the Buddha to live? Probably not, it's to make better money."

Xue Rengui stared in disbelief, "It's unbelievable that these monks are so playful. I thought they had nothing but Buddha in their hearts. Don't Buddhist disciples pay attention to the emptiness of the four elements and the purity of the six sense organs? How can they be contaminated with these secular things?" thing?"

Wang Xuance explained: "In fact, this has a lot to do with the rule of the superior. Think about it, the monarch of a country is a loyal believer in Buddhism, so do you think Buddhism can not grow in this country? When Buddhism grows, believers will If there are too many believers, there will be more bad people, and if there are more bad people, there will be more right and wrong."

Xue Rengui frowned, "Oh, I'm really helpless. It turns out that Buddhism also has these bad things. After all, it's power and money."

Qin Mu nodded and pondered: "That's right, I also came here for these things. Some people in the Great Mercy Temple are dishonest. Today I just gave them a warning. Li Buddha should be good to Li Buddha, and I want to Qian Quan, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui nodded in disbelief.

The son-in-law and His Majesty have put so much effort into governing the world, but in the end they are exploited for power and money. Isn't this nonsense?

Afterwards, everyone returned to the Qin residence.

Qin Mansion.

lobby.

Li Er had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

Seeing Qin Mu coming in, Li Er smiled.

"My son-in-law, I heard that you have gone to the Great Mercy Temple? Do you want to believe in Buddhism?"

"After Xuanzang came back from Tianzhu, Buddhism has indeed advanced a lot. Look at the Great Mercy Temple. The incense is very prosperous. Didn't you send money to the Great Mercy Temple?"

"Your son-in-law wants to give it, at least it will cost 80 taels of silver?"

Listening to Li Er's cynicism.

Qin Mu didn't speak.

Looking at Li Er's virtue, he knew that Gao Yang must have changed and won his heart.

Li Er came to the door to thank and apologize, but he was embarrassed to say it.

Qin Mu said quietly: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you will ignore me for the rest of your life? Why did you come to the Qin Mansion again today?"

Li Er rolled his eyes, "I'm here to see my grandson and granddaughter, what does it have to do with you? Don't be too sentimental."

Qin Mu frowned and asked, "Aren't your grandson and granddaughter in the palace? Is your reason for going to the Qin Manor to see them a little far-fetched?

what?

Li Er was stunned for a moment, but he forgot about it, and then prevaricated: "It's alright, alright, let the past go, I know your good intentions, and I also know that you are doing it for your own sake." Hello Gao Yang."

"I'm a father, you have to understand, don't you also have a daughter? I also have a daughter, so you can understand my feelings."

Qin Mu didn't want to pay attention to his nonsense, Li Er was such a person, he was as stubborn as a cow, "I didn't bother with you at first, but you always hold on to this matter."

Li Er hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I apologize to you, is it okay for me to be short-sighted?"

"Speaking of Gao Yang, it's true that you've thought about it thoroughly, and you've thought about it well. I've thought about this matter too simply."

"Now it seems that we still have to be tough on this child, so that she can know that her personality should change."

Immediately afterwards, he continued to ask: "Why did you go to Da Ci'en Temple? You don't really want to believe in Buddhism, do you?"

He has never had a good impression of Buddhism.

Nowadays, many temples in the Tang Dynasty have also been built, and they all occupy geomantic treasures.

The point is that these monasteries don't give the court any money, and the court has to fund them to build temples.

Li Er was a little unbearable.

If the son-in-law has something to do with Buddhism, he will feel even more uncomfortable.

Qin Mu said indifferently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter whether he is a real Buddha or a fake Buddha, I have no fate with Buddha in this life. Today I just went to have a heart-to-heart talk with Master Xuanzang and tell him that Buddhism is about to do it." Don't put your mind on other things about Buddhism, politics, economy and people's livelihood are matters that the imperial court should take care of, and have nothing to do with Buddhism."
