Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

After returning to the official position in the court, Li Shan had considered it carefully. After returning to Beijing, he had also communicated with the King of Qin through Ling Jing. At the same time, it can be suitable for Li Shan's position to display his ability.

Changsun Wuji was thinking about the Beiya Forbidden Army, but Li Shimin and Li Shan both had the same judgment. Now that Chai Shao is not wrong in controlling the Beiya Forbidden Army, Li Yuan is unlikely to change people, even if he does... probably will Changing to Princess Pingyang to take over is not the same as not changing.

The most critical look, if Li Shan wants to grab this position to control the Beiya Forbidden Army, he has to touch the East Palace... On the one hand, if the Princess Pingyang and his wife are out, the former Li Shan should take over theoretically, and Now Luo Yi, the most famous general of the Right Prison Guard in the Beiya Forbidden Army, Yanjun Wang.

Whether it was because of Li Shan's neutral status, or in order not to arouse Donggong's judgment on the current situation...the latter mainly refers to Pei Shiju, Li Shimin did not want to have a direct conflict with Donggong.

"Uncle, Sinong Temple is actually pretty good." Li Shan said solemnly: "My nephew was crowned last year, and he has little experience..."

Although he knew that Li Shan's experience refers to official affairs, but Li Yuan couldn't help but interrupt, mockingly said: "It's been half a month since I returned to the imperial court, and today I'm going to take a trip to Sinong Temple. ?”

Li Shanqian laughed twice, "Isn't this still a matter of self-cultivation?"

"You don't need to talk nonsense in front of me." Li Yuan frowned, "You can choose what you say."

"Si Nongqing." Li Shan said decisively: "In the first battle in Yuanzhou, I led eight hundred sharp men to the snow-capped mountains and reached Xiaoguan. .”

Li Shimin interjected: "That's true. Although it is not as good as Mingguang armor or ordinary iron armor, it can withstand bows and arrows, and it is much lighter than iron armor."

"The key is to keep warm." Li Shan added: "In the future when we conquer the grassland, it is impossible to choose summer or autumn to send troops, it must be spring and winter..."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, "Huiren has far-reaching concerns...so you want to promote cotton in Si Nong Temple?"

"That's right." Li Shan said enthusiastically: "The so-called rarity is the most precious, and now cotton is not suitable for the people to promote, and the courtiers are honorable, and they hate bloated cotton, so they can only promote cotton planting in the Si Nong Temple and make cotton shells." ..."

Li Yuan interrupted: "Acquisition by Shaofu?"

"Speaking of which, Huairen is still looking at the Shaofu." Li Jiancheng laughed and said, "But if the Shaofu hadn't rejected the cotton armor, Huairen might not have been able to go to Xiaoguan."

"The King of Lujiang County..." Li Shan curled his lips and said, "It's such a big air, it doesn't even use Third Sister's face."

Li Yuan, King of Lujiang County, is the real estate agent of the Eastern Palace, Li Jiancheng smiled wryly and said, "The price Huairen asked for is too high..."

"His Royal Highness, this is a sharp weapon that benefits the military!"

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin who was facing him, "Yuhuchun is also good for the war, but the second brother asked Du Zhili to give them all..."

"That's the Jingzhao Du family!" Li Shan didn't let go, and murmured in his heart, Du Yan guessed that he was doing business without money, how could he compare with himself.

Although Li Shan hasn't entered Sinong Temple for a long time, there are still people in it. Before there is no certain value, even if he promises to buy it, not many people are willing to grow cotton. , and have to occupy the land under his own name, which is all capital.

Li Yuan was too lazy to listen to some people's arguments, "Then Huairen will stay in Sinong Temple for the time being...we will make arrangements after the battle in Lingzhou."

If it's not possible, one of the generals of the Sixteenth Guards will be selected to hang up, otherwise it would be a bit unreasonable for a heir king to only serve as Minister of Agriculture.

After chatting a few more words, Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng, "Have you read the memorial of Taishi Ling Fu Yi?"

"It's the seventh time I've performed it." Li Jiancheng showed his unwavering expression, "I heard that he had a personal enmity with the temple in his early years..."

Li Shimin immediately opened his mouth and said: "Fu Yi, a native of Ye County, Xiangzhou, is good at astronomy and calculus. He once served as a soldier in Bingzhou Yicao. When he was young, his family was in decline. Because the land was listed as temple property, he had to take shelter of his uncle's family."

Li Jiancheng looked bored, this brother is really well prepared!
Li Yuan nodded slightly, "The eighty-year-old father hits the soil and sings; the fifteen-year-old boy drums his belly for joy. Farming can make the bank, and the road does not pick up things. A filial son inherits the family, and loyal ministers fill the country... At this time, we will follow the principles of Li and Confucius. teaching, but not Hoover."

Li Shan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and it took him a while to understand something. That Taishi ordered Fu Yi to play "Please Get Rid of Buddhism" for the seventh time yesterday, advocating the prohibition of Buddhism, the Hoover cult, and return to Tianzhu; , Released back to the hometown... This is to destroy the Buddha.

What Fu Yi meant was that in ancient times there was no Buddhism, the world was peaceful and joyous, why people are chaotic and the world is chaotic now, it is because of Buddhism!

What is unreasonable, this is called unreasonable!
But it seems that I experienced it once when I just came here. Later, Li Shan also inquired about it. It was the handwriting of this Taishi Ling Fu Yi. That's why Li Yuan ordered the inspection of Guanzhong temples, and that was Li Shan's first contact with the times.

But it is too difficult to destroy Buddhism. Although the world is unified now, the division of the north and the south in the past hundreds of years, and the large-scale war after the Sui Dynasty have all led to Buddhism being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is not an exaggeration to say that 70.00% of the courtiers in the Manchu Dynasty They all believe in Buddhism.

So yesterday when Fu Yi published "Please Get Rid of Buddhism", a lot of people jumped out. The one who took the lead was Shangshu Sheng's right servant who shot Xiao Yu... This is also normal. Beam.

However, Fu Yi was not to be outdone, and fought fiercely with Xiao Yu, and it was not without people who agreed with him.

Li Shan glanced at Li Jiancheng. From a certain point of view, this prince is really unbearable to be a king. Fu Yi went to the court seven times before and after, complaining that Buddhism deceives people, exploits people's wealth, and consumes the national treasury. .

From the country's point of view, Fu Yi's suggestion was correct, but the prince refuted it because he believed in Buddhism. Li Jiancheng's small character Bishamon was taken from Buddhism.

But Li Shimin is very much in favor of Fu Yi. A large number of monks occupy the land, evade taxes, and do not abide by the precepts. If things go on like this, there will be chaos.

Li Shan pondered for a while, maybe Li Jiancheng was not only because he believed in Buddhism, but because a large number of courtiers believed in Buddhism...he intended to win over the courtiers.

But no matter what, this choice is obviously inappropriate in front of Li Yuan, because Li Shan soon found out that Li Yuan is in favor of Li Shimin... This is an emperor's choice, and it has nothing to do with winning the heir apparent, and it has nothing to do with fighting for power and profit.

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shan who had been watching the excitement, and suddenly said, "Remember that Huairen also believes in Buddhism?"

Li Shan nodded cautiously after a while. This is true. He believed in Buddhism in his previous life. He had to fast on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and he often recited scriptures silently in his heart.

However, believing in Buddhism in the previous life is different from this era. In modern society, to be a monk requires a diploma. In Gao Xiaoqin's words, it is a profession rather than a belief.

Li Yuan frowned and looked at Li Shan, "I remember, Dongshan Temple, right?"

"Zen Master Wuchao has been practicing closed-mouth meditation since birth." Li Shimin added calmly, "For this reason, Du Keming still suffers from Huairen's hands, and Dongshan Temple continues to this day."

Li Shan coughed violently, "His Royal Highness, this matter..."

Li Jiancheng also said: "By the way, the Buddhist master Qianliju Xuanzang has returned from Tianzhu and arrived in Chang'an last month."

It has only been four or five years, and Xuanzang came back so soon... Li Shan was a little surprised, no, I remember that Xuanzang stayed in India for many years in history, and even became famous in the local area. It was a long time before he set off to return to Tang Dynasty .

Li Shimin twitched his lips, "Huiren thinks that the temple should be abolished, Sha Tai monks and nuns?"

Li Yuan looked at his two sons, and then turned his attention to Li Shan.

I shouldn't have an audience today, Li Shan is speechless, why did this matter get around to me? !

Saying that the Buddha should be banned is tantamount to slapping oneself, saying that the Buddha should not be banned is tantamount to contradicting Li Yuan and Li Shimin... The most important thing is that no matter what you choose, you have a position.

And Li Yuan happened to have an attempt to test Li Shan's political position... Li Shan guessed this, and Li Shimin also found out through Ling Jing.

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Shan to have a position at all.

"Although the minister is loved by His Majesty, he canonized him as the heir king." Li Shan said solemnly, "But he is not the prime minister, so he has no right to make suggestions, and this is not under the jurisdiction of Si Nong Temple."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "But it doesn't matter what you say!"

This is to force me!
Li Shan said with a blank face: "The crown prince is right, and the king of Qin is also right. How about..."

"Okay!" Li Yuan cursed inwardly, I still need you if you want to make a mess of mud, I'm a pro at this skill!

"The minister will leave..."

"What's the hurry!" Li Yuan stared, "This matter cannot be ignored..."

Before the words were finished, someone from the palace came to report, and Chen Shuda, the servant of Jiang Guogong, came to see him.

After a while, Chen Shuda sat beside Li Shan with a blank expression on his face. The latter glanced at the attached name under the memorial, Tai Servant Zhang Daoyuan, who didn't have much impression of the name.

But this servant, Zhang Daoyuan, is really awesome. It's fine to go along with Fu Yi, but he actually proposed... not only Buddhism, but also Taoism.

We must know that after Li Tang founded the country, Li Yuan began to shamelessly call himself the Longxi Li family, but this statement... Although the Longxi Li family did not refute it, their attitude was there and they did not accept it.

In fact, Li Yuan also knew this... After all, there are so many children from the Li family in Longxi in the court. Could it be that they are all named county kings, so Li Yuan later listed himself as the descendant of Li Hao, the founding monarch of Xiliang, and at the same time invited him An old ancestor, Lao Tzu Li Er, the ancestor of Taoism.

This Zhang Daoyuan actually wanted to ban Taoism... Li Shan was amazed in his heart, this guy was a good seed for a science and Taoism official in the Ming Dynasty, and he was so disgusted with the air!

Li Yuan and Li Shimin remained silent, but Prince Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up, "Father, Taoist priests are like monks and nuns, occupying land and evading taxes. If you want to ban Buddha, it seems..."

Li Yuan looked over coldly and made the prince shut up, you didn't want me last year, did you even want me this year?
Li Shan was a little surprised. After asking Chen Shuda a few words in a low voice, he found out that Taoist temples in this era really don't pay taxes.

At this time, the silent Li Shimin said: "Father, Taoist priests are like monks and nuns, occupying land and evading taxes..."

Everyone cast surprised eyes, Prince Li Jiancheng's eyes were even more weird, it was exactly the same as what he said before, without changing a single word!
But then, Li Shimin changed the topic, "Take it into consideration together. If there are monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and female crowns in the whole country of Shatai, if there are eminent monks and Taoist priests, they can be moved to the big temples to provide food and clothing, while others will be ordered Return to vulgarity and return to your hometown."

Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the second younger brother on the opposite side would really agree with him, but in the end the words changed.

But to Li Jiancheng's great surprise, Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Buddhism and Taoism are very popular in the world, so we can't be too demanding. There should be a quota of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in every prefecture."

Although he shook his head, he actually agreed with Li Shimin's point of view... It is impossible to destroy Buddhism and Taoism, but we must strictly eliminate them, and order most of the monks and Taoists to return to lay life.

Li Shan looked carefully for a while, and found that Li Yuan and Li Shimin had eye contact from time to time during the discussion, and then turned to look at the silent Chen Shuda... Finally Li Shan raised his head and began to study what kind of wood was used to make the roof of Linhu Hall of.

My own appearance must have been an accident, but Chen Shuda's meeting was definitely not an accident. Li Shan felt a little sympathetic to the prince Li Jiancheng... Today's scene is obviously a scene played by Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son. policy.

I just don't know who wrote the script, Li Shan was thinking in his heart, wondering if the prince Li Jiancheng could see through it, maybe Li Jiancheng still thought he had won, after all there is no real Forbidden Buddha.

Zhang Daoyuan, the eunuch who asked to ban Taoism in Shangshu, was either from Li Shimin or from Li Yuan. With this action, all the courtiers who believed in Buddhism in the court could shut up... Even Taoism is like this, so can Buddhism be an exception? ?
After leaving Tai Chi Palace, Li Shan waited outside the Ministry of Officials for Li Zhaode and Zhang Wenguan, and went to Dongshan Restaurant for a banquet with a few familiar children, still thinking about it.

The drama played by Li Yuan and Li Shimin perfectly bypassed the obstacles that hinder the implementation of national policies. This is a big aspect. From a small aspect, the father and son cooperated tacitly, which already showed Li Yuan's tendency.

Without Pei Shiju, Li Yuan would have gradually weakened the power of the East Palace within a few years, and at the same time let the subordinate officials of Tiance Mansion and the confidant officials arranged by Li Shimin in Daxingtai, Shandong Road gradually enter the court, and finally moved to Yi Chu.

But with Pei Shiju, it is doomed that Li Yuan's tricks cannot continue. Li Shan is a little itchy. As far as Li Jiancheng himself is concerned, he may not have the determination to fight. I really want to know what Pei Shiju has.
