Bang bang bang!

Early in the morning, a violent knock on the door woke up Li Yi'an and the others who were still asleep.

"Li Yi'an, come out to the poor monk!"

There was also a burst of shouting outside, disturbing people's dreams.

"Who?"

Li Yi'an got up helplessly, at this moment, who would dare to slap his door so roughly, unless he didn't want to live anymore.

Not only Li Yi'an and his wife, but Yu Wenyan and Xiao Wanshun were also awakened by people outside. When they opened the door, they saw bald heads appearing in front of them, and more than a dozen monks knocked on the door.

However, the word "monk" in ancient times is a title of honor, and only monks who have certain qualifications to be teachers can be called monks.

Monks who are new to Buddhism or who are underage are called novice monks, and monks who have received precepts after they are old enough can be called monks.

Li Yi'an was stunned for a while, thinking that he didn't seem to offend these Buddhist people, right?

wrong!

It seems that I have offended again.

The imperial court is rectifying Buddhism recently, and he proposed this move, but Li Shimin didn't say that this is a secret, only they and Fu Yi can know.

Now there are people from the Buddhist sect who come to the door and ask for Li Yi'an by name, so it is very abnormal.

Could it be that he was betrayed by Li Shimin?

"You guys, is something wrong?"

Li Yian asked.

"You are Li Yi'an?"

The head monk is Fa Ya, but now he is completely without the gentleness and self-cultivation of a monk, and his face is full of anger.

"That's right!"

"It's you who proposed to rectify Buddhism?"

Sure enough, it was because of this incident.

Li Yi'an smiled and said, "Shouldn't Buddhism be rectified?"

Falla said angrily: "So it was really you. If you don't give an explanation today, we will never end with you."

It's not over, how else can they be endless?

This kind of weak threat, in Li Yi'an's eyes, looked like a child quarreling, and said disdainfully: "So this is a person who recites the Buddha's name. To practice Buddhism, one should not be angry or impetuous, be calm and calm, and have pure six sense organs. This Zen master, you seem to have committed a crime." Even people with six unclean senses are qualified to practice Buddhism? I think there are quite a few monks like you in Buddhism, so we should rectify this corrupt atmosphere!"

Fa Ya became more angry, and said loudly: "You don't need to take care of our Buddhist affairs, and the poor monk knows your status. You'd better enter the palace immediately and persuade His Majesty to let go of the rectification of the Buddhist sect, otherwise you will It is an enemy of our Buddhism."

"Oh!"

After Li Yi'an finished speaking, he directly closed the door.

He doesn't care about being an enemy of Buddhism, he is practicing the way of Huang Lao, and he is not very against them.

"you……"

Falla was furious, and immediately slammed on the door again.

"what for?"

Just at this time, the county magistrate rushed over with dozens of people.

For the sake of Li Yi'an's safety, the county magistrate was also worried and kept people's attention here. When he found out that the group of monks came to trouble Mr. Li, he rushed over immediately.

I'm afraid that if I come late, it will cause some bad consequences.

The county government is not far from Li Yi'an's residence.

"I've seen Magistrate Zhang!"

When Fa Ya saw the official coming, she quickly said, "We are going to seek justice from Li Yi'an!"

Before the county magistrate had time to respond, the closed door was pushed open again, and Li Yi'an came out and said, "Magistrate Zhang, these people want to forcibly break into the houses, how should we deal with them according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

County Magistrate Zhang understood what Mr. Zhang was thinking, and echoed, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, whoever enters someone's house without a reason will be punished with forty floggings, and the owner will kill him on the spot."

Li Yi'an said: "Magistrate Zhang, you have to watch them. If they break into my house later, I can't guarantee whether they can get out alive!"

After hearing this, Yu Wenyan stood beside the door with a murderous look, holding her epee.

When Falla and the others saw this, they took a few steps back in fear.

"Li Yi'an, you are talking nonsense, we didn't break in!"

Faya said quickly.

"You'd better not break in, let me hear your knocking on the door again, it's nice to have you!"

Yu Wenyan said with a wave of the epee in her hand, and a step in front of her was directly smashed, and the gravel splashed and scattered all over the ground, scaring the monks back a few steps.

Then, she closed the door and didn't bother with them.

Fa Ya was terrified, and then looked at County Magistrate Zhang beside her, not wanting to be captured, gritted her teeth, and left here in despair.

After leaving Wannian County, Fa Ya returned to Chang'an immediately, went to find Pei Ji to find a way to get rid of Li Yi'an.

Pei Ji happened to be playing chess with Lu Xiuran, and when he heard that Faya was looking for him, he didn't need to think about why, but his relationship with Faya was well known, so someone brought Faya in.

"Pei Xiang!"

After Fa Ya came in, she said angrily: "Then Li Yi'an, that's really disgusting!"

"Let's forget it, Master Faya!"

Pei Ji said at the same time: "It is inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter, and Li Yi'an is not easy to deal with. The internal chaos of your Buddhist temple really needs to be rectified. If it can be rectified, it will be good for the Zen master."

Fa Ya couldn't accept it, she shook her head and said, "How dare the poor monk obstruct the normal rectification? But the Chongren Department deceived people too much, not only confiscated our fields and money, even the Buddha's golden body, the Chongren Department also arrested us The monk, this is to destroy our Buddhism, the poor monk will never allow this!"

Lu Xiuran picked up a sunspot, pondered and said: "To solve this matter, in my opinion, it is not too difficult. Your Majesty only did this after listening to Li Yi'an's trick. If you want your Majesty to take back the holy order, you can only follow the Li Yi'an started."

Fa Ya nodded and said: "The poor monk also thought of this, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't want to pay attention to the poor monk."

Lu Xiuran raised his head and looked at the other party, and said: "Zen Master, I have an idea, or it may work. Zen Master goes back and calls on all the monks inside and outside Chang'an to surround Li Yi'an's house, but don't break in. It doesn't matter if you knock on the wooden fish or chant scriptures." , The purpose is to build momentum, and then let Buddhist believers gather outside his house to denounce this person. If Li Yian refuses to admit his mistake, you will never leave, and if you do it even worse, you can go on a hunger strike."

"Once there are too many people, it will have a great impact, even cause turmoil. Even if the majesty comes down, he will be at a loss. If Li Yi'an and his majesty don't compromise, the ministers in the court will try their best to dissuade them. At that time, Li Yi'an will have to admit his mistake , Buddhism can also be preserved."

As soon as these words were finished, Fa Ya's eyes lit up.

There must be noble monks in Buddhism, but not all monks are like this. The interests of Buddhist temples are their interests. Now that even the golden body of Buddha is confiscated, it touches the fundamental interests. Other monks must be very upset.

As long as he can call it up and gather a group of believers to make trouble, Falla thinks it's worth doing.

"What Tan Yue said makes sense!"

Fa Ya immediately went back to Chongren Temple, preparing to call on all the monks to continue to trouble Li Yi'an.

"Xiu Ran, you won't be in trouble if you do this?"

Pei Ji didn't know why, but was a little worried.

"Even if something happens, what does it have to do with us? It's just a matter of their Buddhism!"

Lu Xiuran made another sunspot, he didn't take that matter to heart, and continued: "Yue Zhang, if you get distracted again, I will win."
