Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 789 Talk about feelings, right!
The emperor agreed to deal a heavy blow to the Fo religion, and handed over the matter to the Eastern Palace. This was a very scary thing. Who doesn't know that the crown prince is never lenient in his strikes, and he always kills them all? .The Buddhist monasteries in Guanzhong, who were the first to hear the news, were shrouded in an atmosphere of fear, and there were even escaped monks that had never been seen in the monasteries.

Especially after the imperial court made Fu Yi, an enemy of the Fo sect, the Minister of Rituals, this situation became more and more serious. All the disciples of the Fo sect in Guanzhong changed from being respected and moral monks to being beaten by everyone. This psychological gap is so great that the monks really couldn't accept it for a while.

What makes them even more sad is that those high-ranking officials who are usually on good terms with them, not only do not intercede for them, they are even unwilling to protect them for a while, for fear that Fu Yi, who is not dead, will find out and kill them with the court soldiers. Will come to the door.As for the friendship, favor, and cause and effect that the Buddhist sect had with them in the past, they were all thrown into the hut, and they never dared to make a statement about their friendship with the eminent monks of the Buddhist sect.

Of course, it's not that the dignitaries deliberately broke their promises, but that they are also unable to do what they want.The imperial court also made corresponding regulations on it. You can burn incense and pray at home by yourself, no problem, you can smash the foreheads of the whole family.

But if you openly clamor or support the Buddhist sect, if you are light, you will be dismissed from office, or if you are serious, your home will be confiscated and exiled. If anyone is tired of living a peaceful life, you can give it a try and see how determined the court is.

Taking the Guanzhong area as an example, all monks and nuns in the temple are waiting to be dealt with in the temple. All properties are registered by the local government and handed over to the treasury.People who reported or captured monks and nuns who passed on scriptures to the government would be exempted from paying taxes for three years.

Not only that, the imperial court has issued documents to all provinces and prefectures, and officials at all levels will act in accordance with the imperial edict. The imperial court will also send full-time imperial envoys to supervise and supervise each region, so as to complete this matter in the shortest possible time. That prefecture will do it quickly and well. , It was recorded in the Ministry of Officials at the third level, and the narrative was prioritized.

At the same time, all soldiers and horses in the world are under martial law, and no one is allowed to mobilize without a military document stamped with a jade seal, otherwise it will be regarded as a crime of treason.Shangshu Province also opened up a separate land, supplemented by officials from the Ministry of War, who were full-time to control the soldiers and horses during the reform period, and were jointly led by Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.

The imperial court suddenly made such a big move, and it was attacking such a huge sect as the Buddhist sect. As the state religion, the Taoist sect was also terrified to watch, especially Tai Shiling-Li Chunfeng.For more than 20 days, I have been sitting on pins and needles. I always want to make friends with the prince up and down, but I am afraid of getting burned, so I keep pressing down.

He and the big brothers of the Taoist sect are really not sure whether the imperial court will target them. The rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Although the two families usually fight fiercely, seeing the end of the bald donkeys like this, they can't help it. Think about it.

The Fo sect is in decline, of course they can't find out any news, and the status of the Dao sect is also very sensitive now, and the nobles who usually have some acquaintances also avoid them, so they just mix with those bald donkeys and become A blind eye.

But it's not a problem to procrastinate like this. Li Chunfeng, who couldn't sit still, specially prepared generous gifts to come to the East Palace to ask for an interview. Knowing that the guy in the East Palace is a very hard-to-talk guy.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm here to greet you." Li Chunfeng had been kneeling for a while, but the crown prince only focused on reviewing the memorial and didn't even look at him, so he had to remind him respectfully.

"Why, kneeling for a while is unbearable, knee pain is better than neck pain, isn't it, Chunfeng!" After putting down the pen in his hand, Li Chengqian said lightly.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness asked me to kneel here. That's rewarding me. Some people are not qualified to kneel here. Why would I feel tired!", I had no choice but to bow my head under the eaves of others. Even if the knee pain is unbearable, Li Chunfeng has to suffer happily.

"Okay, stop being silly, get up, and find a place to sit." After speaking, Li Chengqian waved to Heng Lian, signaling him to serve two cups of tea.Then he continued: "You are a rare visitor, except during the holidays, you never take a step into the East Palace, so tell me, what's going on today!"

Hearing what the crown prince said, his back hurts a little while standing up and talking, isn't he asking the question knowingly?As the proud disciple of the great Confucianist Li Gang, a fire at the city gate brought disaster to the fish in the pond. You should have learned this sentence!
Forget it, having known the prince for so many years, Li Chunfeng still knows his temper. If he is really angry because of face, he will vomit blood and die before leaving the East Palace.

"Your Highness, if you have something to say, just say it directly. If you say something wrong, you can see how tolerant we are for the sake of our past friendship!" Seeing the crown prince nodding, Li Chunfeng straightened his clothes and sat upright to reply.

There is a difference between Taoism and Buddhism. Although they both use the banner of persuading people to be kind and helping the world to save people, people in Taoism will stand up whenever there is a war, either doing chivalry or practicing medicine to save people, and actively saving the people and the people In the midst of water and fire, there is a stark contrast with fo's door closing the temple to seek safety and preserving strength.

Secondly, most Taoist sects cannot help marrying, and most of them are inherited from father to son clan. The scale and number of Taoist temples are less than one-third of that of Buddhist sects, and they never accept money from the people for offerings, and there are no Buddhist sects in the countryside. That kind of obscene person can be said to have nothing to do with folk Qiu.

Finally, Taoism is the state religion, and it always obeys the government's orders, and dare not go beyond the law. Whenever the court orders, Taoism fully supports it.He has always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty, to the emperor, and to the crown prince, unlike those who are open and secret.

Having said so much, Li Chunfeng just boasted in disguise how good the Dao Sect is, and it is much more noble than the Fo Sect's filthy place. They have a way to die, but the Dao Sect is innocent. classified into one category.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, Li Chengqian had to say that Taoist monks are indeed much better in conduct than Buddhist monks. This all depends on whether their disciples are mostly children of the clan or adopted orphans, and they have a natural bondage Power, it is naturally much stronger than the Buddhism where fish and dragons are mixed together.

"Okay, you kid is talking about feelings with Gu Lai today, isn't it! Okay, there's nothing wrong with it." During the conversation, Li Chengqian ordered Heng Lian to get two jars of wine and put them in front of Li Chunfeng.

"That's right, you're right, Taoist sects are indeed much stronger than them, and you came today with favors, so you can continue. If you want Gu to speak good words for you, it's no problem, drink up these two jars of wine .”

It's bad, the prince is not an ordinary bad man, he knows he can't handle alcohol, so he has to force him to drink.However, he could also see that if the crown prince was able to enjoy wine and drink, it meant that the court had no intention of targeting Taoist sects, and he could finally let go of this heart hanging in his heart.

So, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, he was saving face, he must be able to bear it, picked up a jar of wine and poured it down, Heng Lian who was watching was stunned. .
