"Okay, don't cry, I'm not dead yet!" Du Jingming said: "From now on, you will follow Qin Mo to Nanyang. As long as you follow Qin Mo's footsteps, my Du family's status will be good.

Youcheng is doing well now, but you are the eldest son in the family. Although you and I are not old and ungrateful, I still hope that you can carry the banner of the Du family, do you understand?"

"Yes, my child understands!"

Du Youwei kowtowed and said: "In the past, my son was ignorant and studied hard, which made his father worried."

Du Youwei nodded happily. After this incident, Du Youwei has grown up.

"Go down and guard that bitch's spirit. The Queen and the others are coming soon, so you have to receive them!" Du Youwei lay down again.

"yes!"

After Du Youwei retired, not long after, the grief-stricken Empress Gongsun came.

Also coming together were various princesses and princes.

The entire Du Mansion was suddenly filled with sadness.

Li Yulan and the three of them held Empress Gongsun and comforted her constantly.

Later, people from various families came.

The princess was bewitched by the demon monk and died. This is a huge case.

It is a foregone conclusion that we should solemnly worship Buddha.

Qin Mo looked at Li Chuanyu and sneered in his heart, "God has done evil, but you can live."

If you do your own evil, you will not live.

Do you really think that these heroes who founded the country are soft persimmons and easy to bully?

On the other side, Li Shilong summoned Li Daoyuan and Yuchi Nobuxiong, but Gongsun Wuji and others also entered the palace to appease them.

Originally Li Shilong didn't want to see anyone else, but this matter was quite big.

He was really angry. He had just celebrated his birthday and was about to retire.

This is what happened.

Fortunately, he supported the development of Buddhism in the past.

He thought about the great monk next to Li Zhi again, and now the Chuanyu incident was revealed. Now it seems that the Buddha is the source of cholera.

"If you come here to persuade me, it will be incomparable. The matter of worshiping Buddha cannot be changed." Li Shilong said with a cold face: "Li Daoyuan, Yuchi Nobuxiong, you two are in charge of the matter of worshiping Buddha.

The monks were ordered to return to secular life and all property in the temple was confiscated.

Send out the Thunder Army, if anyone disobeys, they will be killed without mercy!"

Li Daoyuan was also speechless. Why did such a hateful thing happen to him?

Yuchi Nobuo was also a little reluctant, but he had no choice but to listen.

After the two received the order, Gongsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the temple is 'anointed with beautiful properties, so it is better to get more than twice as much; the manor is water-milled, so the number is not small.

The monks who fled to avoid crime and gathered dharma sects. No matter how many tens of thousands of monks there were, they all went under the inspection and got thousands of them. And if a man does not cultivate, he still suffers the disadvantages. He eats many people and robs people's wealth.

It’s reached the point where it’s no longer necessary!”

This sentence touched Li Shilong's heart. Qin Mo also said something similar.

At first, he didn't take it too seriously, but now, he already regretted it.

"Then what do you think we should do to honor Buddha?" Li Shilong asked.

Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Yue.

Li Yue hurriedly stepped forward, "Father, I believe that blocking is worse than sparing. There have been several large-scale exterminations of Buddhas in the past, but this will inevitably lead to unrest in people's hearts.

The novice monk was full of resentment and there were many pilgrims, so he may not necessarily understand the court's painstaking efforts.

In Nanfan, Tianxiang Kingdom and Nibala, most of the people believe in Buddhism.

If we destroy the Buddha, wouldn't it mean that we have lost the restraint on them?

As time goes by, trouble will inevitably arise!"

As soon as these words came out, many people nodded.

What Li Yue said makes sense.

The problem of destroying Buddhism is huge. The naturalization of Wozhou, Nanfan, Tianxiang, and Niboluo are all based on the local Buddhism of Daqian.

Although Dagan established Taoism as the state religion, Buddhism can still compete with Taoism.

Looking at the entire Daqian, there are several times as many Buddhists as there are Taoists.

Li Shilong also nodded. He actually had concerns in his heart, so he used the method of solemnizing the Buddha instead of destroying the Buddha.

The difference between these two words is huge.

"Then do you have any good ideas?" Li Shilong asked.

Li Yue cupped his hands and said: "A special government office should be set up to supervise Buddhism, strictly control the issuance of ultimatums, and strictly regulate the number of people in the temple according to the grade of the temple.

In this way, the number of Buddhists can be controlled.

Those who are in excess will be ordered to return to secular life, and those who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions will be sentenced to three years of forced labor.

In this way, everyone’s resistance can be reduced to a great extent.”

Li Daoyuan and Yuchi Nobuxiong looked at each other and stepped out one after another, "I second the proposal!"

There is a big difference between innovation and severing.

"My lord, I second the proposal!" Xu Jingzong said quickly: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue's policy is the policy of the superior. It is better to block than to clear up. Only correct guidance can regulate it."

Gongsun Wuji narrowed his eyes, "But those monks in Huichang Temple cannot let go, and the thirteenth princess cannot die in vain.

If it is purely about controlling the number of people, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The biggest problem with Buddhism is that they do not engage in production, they still lend money, they also enclose land, and they do not have to pay taxes.

Three or four out of ten of the wealth in the world has gone into the pockets of Buddhists.

It must be fundamentally reformed.”

"Even so, innovation must be carried out step by step." Xu Jingzong did not dare to speak before, but now that he has a backer and favor, his voice has become louder, "The Central Plains can implement such a big campaign, but other places Woolen cloth?

Nanfan has not yet returned to Qian, but Nibala and the celestial phenomena are ours, and nine out of ten people there are Buddhists!"

"Then think of a solution that has the best of both worlds!" Gongsun Wuji said.

"So we have to do it step by step!" Xu Jingzong said and stepped back.

The others were silent, watching Xu Jingzong wrestling with Gongsun Wuji, and then looking at Li Yue, all of them thinking brightly.

"Mr. Zhao Guogong and the uncle of Gaoyang County are right. This matter must be done step by step." After Li Yue said something, he said to Li Shilong: "Father, I think the most difficult problem is the Central Plains and the celestial phenomena. The strategies implemented by Nibala are all different, so we must start from two places.

You can do this in the Central Plains, but you definitely can't do it in Nibala and Tianxiang.

What we need is a peaceful and stable Niboluo and a celestial phenomenon that can continuously provide food, tax revenue, and people in labor camps for Daqian.

Erchen was equally indignant about Chuan Yu.

Now that the demon monk Bian Ji is dead, if the monk from Huichang Temple knew about it, he could not stay.

The first one to bear the brunt is Daozang.

As the mentor of Bianji and the old abbot of Huichang Temple, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

Let him admit his mistake, confess in front of all the people, and behead him, this evil trend will surely be curbed.

At the same time, it can also greatly comfort the spirit of Chuan Yu in the sky.

Furthermore, it is the people who are wrong, not the Buddha.

I don’t want my father’s reputation to be tarnished!”

Li Shilong thought for a while and realized that this was indeed a safer approach. He would kill and punish, and the Du family had an explanation.

Especially at Nanfan Guigan stall, if a large-scale extermination of Buddhism is launched, people's hearts will inevitably be shaken.
