Chapter 315
"Let him in." Li Shimin held his forehead in distress.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came to Li Shimin and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Li Shimin closed his eyes and said, "What do you two want to say?"

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think the people's hearts should be stabilized at this moment."

Du Ruhui also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, what Xuanling said is correct, the people must be calmed down now and the monks must be punished! Now that the wall is down, it is a good time to control the Buddhist sect."

Li Shimin opened his eyes, "Is it now?"

Du Ruhui nodded, "It's time."

Li Shimin still hesitated.

Knowing the worry in Li Shimin's heart, Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty is worried about the collapse of the temple."

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "Do you think this matter is really simple? Thunder on a sunny day? Meng Jiangnu from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling said slowly, "There may be something strange about this matter, but the most important thing right now is to stabilize people's hearts. Even if there is really a mastermind behind this matter, it will be found out afterwards."

Li Shimin still nodded, "Go and do it, but you must find out who is doing the tricks!"

"Here!"

Zhongshu Province acted very quickly, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others immediately drew up a notice.

It was posted in various squares and cities in Chang'an. When the monks rebelled, His Majesty was furious. All the rebellious monks were taken into Dali Temple.

All temples need to be written and approved by His Majesty. The number of monks in any temple must not exceed one hundred, taxes must not be in arrears, incense money must not be collected, and Buddha statues and golden statues must not be built.

All Buddhist disciples are not allowed to instigate others to enter Buddhism.

For the stability of Chang'an, for the stability of the world, if there are monks who make chaos, we will never forgive them lightly.

Once the notice was posted, everyone was happy.

The monk is unlucky, Li Zheng's disciple Daniu scolded at the entrance of Jingyang village, pointing at tens of thousands of monks and scolding a bloody head.

I have to say that I was very relieved, and Li Tai finally felt the stone in his heart when he saw this notice.

The emperor finally responded, reassuring the hearts of the people, and at the same time pinching Buddhism into the hands of the emperor himself.

This notice must have been written by Fang Xuanling and the others, otherwise it would not be so unique.

Any construction of a temple requires His Majesty's approval. This article is not about repair but construction. Now that those temples have collapsed, even if they want to be repaired, they need the consent of the emperor. Maybe no temple will be built in the next few years or more.

The power of life and death of Buddhism is all in the hands of Chaotang.

This alone can control all the temples around Chang'an to death.

There are also taxes, number of people, incense money, and corvees, aren't these all written by Li Zheng in the memorial?
The wall fell and everyone pushed, and the Buddhist gate was defeated by Li Zheng this time.

The DPRK and China can also take advantage of the situation to control these temples.

The most important thing is what Daniel said at the entrance of the village.

"It's up to you to decide what is good and what is evil, and there are still heinous things."

"Buddhism has accumulated virtue and done good deeds with compassion in mind. Why are there so many wars in the world, and you have always turned a blind eye to them?"

"How many people, how many families have been destroyed, Buddhism! Who will show your mercy."

Li Tai smiled wryly, "Buddhism decides good and evil? There is also compassion, and you turn a blind eye to it. Who can show the mercy of Buddhism?"

This sentence is very heartbreaking, it is definitely not something a ten-year-old child can write.

Daniu, a kid, Li Tai had come into contact with. Although Li Zheng carried it with him, he was not at the level where he could write these words.

Most of these words were also written by Li Zheng, but Daniu is Li Zheng's child.

Naturally, it doesn't matter.

"Day is to benefit the world at the same time. This sentence is absolutely correct. It will only be counterproductive if it is generalized, and it will become the target of public criticism."

What happened this time once again made the book The Legend of the White Snake sell well in Chang'an, and the price of the Legend of the White Snake in Chang'an was once again pushed up.

There are many people who want to read The Legend of the White Snake, and even many old scholars who look down on the story book of The Legend of the White Snake have begun to think about the book.

Many people thought this book was just a simple story at first, but now it seems that the good and evil, choices and human nature in this book are not the true portrayal of people's hearts?

It was rare for Kong Yingda not to go to teach the prince today. He came to the Imperial College and said to the students of the Imperial College, "Today we are talking about good and evil, right and wrong. The White Snake and Fa Hai in the Legend of the White Snake, who is good and who is evil!"

In fact, good and evil are a very eternal proposition, which has been refuted since people became wise.

Sitting in his home, Cheng Yaojin said to his servants: "Hahaha! Li Zheng is such a good boy, he has brought down his temples."

The servant added: "That's Li Zheng's disciple scolding Buddha."

"Isn't this the same? Isn't Li Zheng's disciple taught by Li Zheng?" Cheng Yaojin raised the wine jar and said, "Call Qin Qiong, Niu Jinda, and Li Xiaogong, and my Cheng family will hold a banquet, and there will be enough wine and meat."

The servant continued: "Patriarch, Your Majesty has ordered the Patriarch to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, how can he hold a banquet."

Cheng Yaojin sneered, "It's to celebrate His Majesty's letting someone think about his mistakes behind closed doors. His Majesty's sin is also a gift. It's because His Majesty thinks highly of me, Cheng, so of course we should celebrate."

"Really?" The servant was a little hesitant, feeling that his three views were collapsing...

Li Zheng said to Daniel while counting the silver coins: "Actually, no one can tell the good and evil in this world."

Daniel said with a confused face: "It's like the story about the farmer and the snake that the teacher told before."

"En." Li Zheng nodded slightly.

Du Hu walked up and said, "General Zhonglang, the Minister of Dali Temple is here."

Li Zheng tidied up and said, "Please come in."

Dali Temple Minister Dai Zhou walked into the stables and came to Li Zheng's hut.

"I've met the Minister of Dali Temple." Li Zheng saluted slightly and said, "I don't know what happened to the Minister of Dali Temple?"

"What's going on with the temple?" Dai Zhou stared at Li Zheng and asked.

"Isn't Quan Chang'an aware of the temple?" Li Zheng asked.

Dai Zhou looked at Li Zheng, the room was very quiet.

Seeing that the other party had been waiting for him, Li Zheng said a little uncomfortably, "Master Dali, do you have to make the atmosphere so ecstatic?"

"Where were you when the temple collapsed?" Dai Zhou asked.

Li Zheng immediately said, "I'm in the stables."

Dai Zhou asked again: "How did you do it?"

Listening to his words, Li Zheng smiled and said, "Are you defrauding me? What evidence do you have to prove that I did it."

Dai Zhou's face was serious, "Who would do this except you."

Li Zheng said with a smile: "This is too wronged. Where did I get so many people to destroy so many temples."

Seeing this kid smiling like that, Dai Zhou was at a loss. If he really said that Li Zheng did it, that's how Li Zheng did it.

Can a mortal be able to do such a miracle?

After so many years in Dali Temple, Dai Zhou had an intuition in his heart.

Li Zheng smiled again and said, "If one day the entire Chang'an City collapses, will Dali Temple Minister think I did it?"

 I will update two chapters temporarily, and I will add it tomorrow. Toothache, this wisdom tooth has made Xiao Zhang restless.
