Eight hundred and twentieth IX Buddhist sinners

After reading Li Xiu's memorial, Li Shimin looked at him with a tangled look. After a while, Li Shimin slowly spoke: "Li Xiu, isn't this a little too early?"

"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, this matter will definitely become the source of chaos in our Tang Dynasty in the future. Since this is the case, it is better to kill it as soon as possible so as not to make the children and grandchildren difficult in the future!" Li Xiu bowed very solemnly at this time.

When Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and others were confused when they heard the conversation between Li Shimin and Li Xiu, they were confused, and they couldn't understand what the monarch and ministers were fighting. Only Changsun Wuji seemed to have guessed something. At this time, they looked at Lingkong and others standing in the hall with a meaningful look, and couldn't help but sneer a little.

When Li Shimin heard Li Xiu's words, he showed a meditative expression again. Finally, he suddenly looked up and handed the memorial in his hand to Changsun Wuji, who was closest, and said: "Wuji, please look at this memorial, and then express your opinions!"

Changsun Wuji heard this and agreed, took the memorial and opened it and looked at it. As a result, he also showed an expression of "It's true". However, the more he looked down, the more serious the expression on Changsun Wuji's face was. Finally, he even nodded slightly unconsciously, and also showed a look of admiration on his face.

Seeing Changsun Wuji looking so seriously, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others next to him also showed anxious expressions. After all, Li Xiu's memorial was very thick. When Changsun Wuji finished reading it, he didn't know when he would wait, so in the end they simply stood up and walked behind Changsun Wuji to read the memorial with him. As a result, when they saw the contents of the memorial, both of them were shocked, and then they also showed a solemn expression.

After a while, the memorial was circulated among several ministers. Wei Zheng and several censors were the last to read it. However, compared to others, Wei Zheng seemed very excited after reading it, staring at Li Xiu with his eyes lit up, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

"The establishment of a monk and Taoist record department to manage the affairs of Buddhism and Taoism in the world. All monks and Taoists will issue certificates of sanctions. If there is no certificate, they cannot become monks and Taoists, and clean up the land of the temples in the world. Each monk is only allowed to keep ten acres. The rest are confiscated. The court will open a money shop to handle deposits, exchanges, loans and other matters. These few of the prince-consorts are simply steel knives for cutting flesh and bones for some people!" After a while, Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Li Xiu's memorial was written very long and detailed, but in summary, there are only these ones."

"Duke Zhao's words are wrong. I think the memorial of the prince-consort is a strategy to strengthen the country and enrich the country. There are so many temples in the world. It has a large area of ​​fertile land but does not have to pay taxes. It has become a country among the country. The temple's longevity database has caused great complaints among the people. If the strategies of the prince-consort can be implemented, these problems can be fundamentally solved!" Wei Zheng at this time retorted Changsun Wuji's words. Although he knew that Changsun Wuji was not opposed to Li Xiu's strategy, he did not like the other party's last words, even if it was the truth, because it would have an impact on the image of the court.

Regarding Wei Zheng's rebuttal, Changsun Wuji just smiled indifferently and said nothing. At this time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui discussed a few words in a low voice, and then Du Ruhui stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think the memorials of the son-in-law are reasonable and well-founded, and several strategies are also very feasible. It can eliminate domestic hidden dangers and enhance the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, so I will discuss it!"

"I am also etiquette!" As soon as Du Ruhui finished speaking, Fang Xuanling next to him immediately stood up and said that he and Du Ruhui were not only friends, but also complement each other's talents. He was good at planning, while Du Ruhui was good at making decisions. Now even Du Ruhui thinks Li Xiu's strategy is feasible, so he naturally supports it without hesitation.

"Super discussion!" Wei Zheng said without hesitation at this time. As for Changsun Wuji, after hesitating for a while, he also chose to have a brief discussion. In fact, he was very supportive of the strategy in Li Xiu's memorial, but although the strategy was good, he would encounter considerable difficulties and resistances if he wanted to continue to implement it.

Lingkong and others were not driven away by Li Shimin. At first they didn't understand why Li Xiu had to submit a memorial, and they were not qualified to read the contents of the memorial. However, when they heard Changsun Wuji's summary, Lingkong and others' faces turned pale because they said that Changsun Wuji had been cut off their flesh and bones. The lines proposed by Li Xiu pointed to their Buddhist sects, and not only had to cut off their financial path, but even the number of monks was controlled by the court. This was simply a way out for their Buddhists!

Thinking of Lingkong and others above, they were extremely anxious, but this was Liangyi Hall, which was the place where ministers such as Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji discussed matters. They should have driven them away just now, but Li Shimin was attracted by the contents of the memorial, so he ignored Lingkong and others. Of course, Lingkong and others dared not speak casually, otherwise the crime of lying about the government would not be able to afford them.

"I wouldn't have complained about this before I knew it. Even if the entire Inspiration Temple was burned by Li Jin and his group, it would be much better than provoking the devil Li Xiu, the devil!" Lingkong said in a low voice at this time. He never expected that he had just had some disputes with Li Xiu's son, which led to Li Xiu's fierce revenge. If the things in the memorial were really promoted, they would probably become the sinners of the entire Buddhism!

Not only Lingkong thought so, but Lingyin and others behind him also regretted it at this time. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. Moreover, even if they don’t sue now, Li Xiu will not let them go. Instead, he will sue the Inspiration Temple to the court. Even if they won the lawsuit in the end, the entire Buddhist catastrophe will not be able to escape.

However, Lingkong and the others still had a last glimmer of hope at this time. Although Fang Xuanling and others supported Li Xiu's memorial, Li Shimin did not express his opinion now. As long as Li Shimin did not nod, the matter of extermination of Buddhism in the memorial would not be implemented.

Li Xiu saw that Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others supported him, and there was no unexpected expression on his face. After all, since the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty had begun to control religion, but because it was not effective, it did not have much effect on religion. It was not until the Later Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha for the last time, and then the Song inherited the Zhou system, so he controlled religion in his hands. The things he wrote were the summary of religious management by several dynasties in later generations, and now it was only Li Shimin who nodded. 8)
