Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 787 New Eleven Articles ([-])

Old but not dead is a thief, there is nothing wrong with Fu Yi, this has not started yet, people have to find out the bottom line first, don't be in full swing like back then, but turn around and go around Pour a basin of cold water, who the hell will suffer.

What's more, the Fo sect has a history of hundreds of years, and the wealth and contacts accumulated during this period are immeasurable. If they are really pushed to the limit, it is not impossible to force the emperor to make concessions.After all, they have big roots and deep roots, and they are longer than ordinary dynasties. Emperor Taiwu took this into consideration back then before stopping.

Regarding Fu Yi's question, Li Chengqian first smiled, and then clapped his hands. Heng Lian and Zhang Sizheng brought over two plates, which contained a set of purple clothes, seal letters, and official spies.

Seeing that the second monk Fu Yizhang was puzzled, he smiled and replied: "Except for the temples enshrined by the royal family, only one temple is allowed in each state of the Tang Dynasty. The management and supply are all in the charge of the local government, and no private property is allowed. It is also not allowed to accept incense money, this is His Majesty's bottom line."

"Furthermore, the imperial father decreed that from now on, you will confer on Mr. Zhongshu's assistant minister, inspector of the Ministry of Rites, and be fully responsible for assisting Gu in dealing with this Fo family incident. How about, sincerity and determination are enough!"

After listening to the prince's words, he touched the purple court clothes again. Fu Yi's heart was filled with sourness, and tears were kept down in spite of himself.This is not because he is greedy for fame and fortune, but because he thinks of his good friend Zhang Daoyuan. If he can live to this day and see the determination of the court today, what a blessing it would be!
After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, Fu Yi hurriedly apologized, Junqian cried innocently, it was too rude.Then he apologized and said: "Thinking of my best friend Zhang Daoyuan, I shed tears. Please forgive me. The fo is Hu Zhong's cunning, who deceived the barbarians. He first went to the Western Regions and gradually flowed to China. He followed his teachings, and he was a villain. , Old Xuanyan, decorated with demonic teaching ears.

It is useless to the people and harmful to the country.As a minister, the old minister is duty-bound to solve problems for the Lord. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best to assist Your Highness in eliminating this great harm for the country and the people. "

"Hey, no one can be ruthless than grass and trees. Besides, Mr. Fu is a famous man of virtue, and his friend is a loyal and upright minister. Naturally, Gu will not blame him."

During the conversation, he pulled Fu Yi to sit down, and continued: "Before Fu Gong came to Chang'an, I read the book written by the Duke in the Wude Dynasty. Now that the words are clear, shall we talk about specific matters?"

Fu Yi once wrote a letter during the reign of Wude: life, death, longevity, and death depend on nature; punishment, morality, and blessing are all determined by the monarch.Fo believers falsely claim that the rich and the poor, the noble and the humble, are ruled by the Buddha.This is stealing the power of the master and arrogating the power of nature.The evil result of the rampant practice of Buddhism is that "there are fewer diligent kings in the sea, and more selfish people", standing in the five courts, looking down on the knees, disloyal and unfilial, and congregating in the house.Therefore, when it enters the family, it destroys the family, and when it enters the country, it destroys the country.

At the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there was no Buddhist religion in China, so the emperor was wise, his ministers were loyal, and his life lasted for a long time.By the time of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Buddhist temples were established, but only the Sangmen of the Western Regions preached their teachings.In order to prevent the population from escaping military service and taxation, there was a strict law in the Western Jin Dynasty that prohibited Chinese people from shaving their hair to become monks, so to a certain extent, it inhibited the development of Buddhism. This law is also the only point that Li Chengqian has affirmation of the Western Jin dynasty.

After the Wuhu chaos, the ban was relaxed, because of the Buddha, the monarch was stupid, the ministers were treacherous, and Emperor Wu of Liang was the best example, which finally led to the "Hou Jing Rebellion" who died in Jiankangtai City and made the world laugh. The king is not careless about this.

Because the kings knew very well that the reason why Hou Jing's rebellion was successful was that apart from holding a heavy army, the Fo sect also played a disgraceful role in it.In addition to funding money, they also sent monks and soldiers to participate in the rebellion. The 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, what kind of power is that, it is so strange that Emperor Wu of Liang can eat good fruits.

"Your Highness, in the past, one person, Baosi, deceived King You, and was able to subjugate the country. Today, one hundred thousand monks and nuns carve and paint clay Buddhas to confuse the world. It must be banned.... Let the monks and nuns marry each other and have children. Long-term support, ten years of lessons, can make the national strength go further. The whole world can avoid the disaster of monks and nuns, and the common people can know where the majesty and blessing lie. Don’t learn the law of monsters and barbarians.”

Through these words, Li Chengqian can see that Fu Yi has not been idle for many years. He has summed up the lessons of his failure in the past. In one fell swoop, take down this organization that hides filth and sucks the bones of the people.

He also elaborated on one of his propositions: First, young and middle-aged monks and nuns do not get married, which reduces their household registration.This is "contrary to the transformation of heaven and earth, and against the way of yin and yang", "asking monks and nuns under sixty to make simple orders, and then the soldiers will force the farmers to persuade them", which is beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood.

The second is that although the soldiers of the countries in the Western Regions are small, they all have to sacrifice their royal careers. According to their land, they conquered each other and slaughtered the country. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of strong monks in the Tang Dynasty. The mistakes.Although three households of Chu could destroy Qin, these words can be appropriately applied to the Buddhist sect. There are thousands of monasteries and millions of believers, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion is just around the corner.

The third is the Buddhist teaching "Guangzhijingshe, a first-class thoroughfare, wasting money and silk", and Zhuzhou counties "reduce temples and pagodas, and the people will be peaceful and the country will be governed".And please distribute the temple buildings to "lonely old poor people, righteous men without houses", stipulate that a state with [-] households should set up a temple, two Hu monks, "thatched cottage earth pagoda, with An Jing statue", and destroy the bronze and iron statues, and do not recast them. , to ensure the smooth circulation of currency.

The imperial court spends a lot of manpower and material resources every year to mine copper mines and mint coins for the convenience of people's circulation, but in the end, only those monks get cheap.Casting Buddha statues and sutra plaques, unscrupulously destroying the country's currency system, forcing the court to invest repeatedly, sooner or later the treasury will be empty, and the people will be in poverty.

The fourth is to let the monks and nuns "clothes and fast, the poor will not be hungry, and the silkworms will not die", and the monks and nuns are not allowed to waste money.The fifth is to prohibit monks and nuns from owning too much property.

According to these two points, the life of monks is extravagant. One person in a small monastery needs to consume the food rations of a family of five for a year.Fu Yi knew that since the beginning of Zhenguan, after the crown prince entered the East Palace, he was very restrained in terms of enjoyment. He didn't watch dances, he didn't enjoy music, and he couldn't eat four dishes and one soup. A Sanskrit guy, why should he enjoy himself so much! .
