The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1081 Buddha?road?
Xuanzang's accumulation made Yuan Tiangang only see the prosperous side of Buddhism in Chang'an, but on the other hand, did he know that Xuanzang went from the Tang Dynasty to Tianzhu, and then returned to Chang'an from Tianzhu for a total of sixteen years, during which time The hard work and hardships that Xuanzang has put in for Buddhism, now it's time to reap the fruits, and the result is jealous?
No matter what height Xuanzang is being promoted to, he deserves it.

But the battle between factions is so nasty.

"Don't worry about this, Lord Hou. When I speak poorly, I always do what I say. What's more, I don't dare to expire Lord Hou." Yuan Tiangang said.

Yuan Tiangang just didn't tell Xuan Shijing that he had already written a letter to send someone to Longxi Khotan to invite Yuan Shoucheng to Chang'an.

Yuan Shoucheng's name is almost the same as that of Sun Simiao. With the addition of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the Daoist sect will have four pillars gathering in Chang'an, at least the Daoist sect will not be so passive.

After Yuan Tiangang left, Jin Yang entered the living room.

"My husband agreed to Daoist Yuan?" Jin Yang asked.

"Why do you infer this, Sizi?"

"When my concubine came in, I happened to see Yuan Daochang leaving. The expression on Yuan Daochang's face could not be faked, and Yuan Daochang walked briskly when he left, which shows that he must have met his expectations." Jin Yang responded: "Then, what did my husband agree to Yuan Daochang?"

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, it's not a big deal, he already has a countermeasure, he just wants me to come forward to see Daoist Sun."

"Daozhang Sun?" Jin Yang was stunned: "Yes, Daozhang Sun is also in Chang'an now. If Daozhang Sun's reputation is added, Daozhang Yuan can indeed have more actions."

"Let him go, anyway, I'm just going to be a lobbyist." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "I don't lose anything."

"This is not like my husband's previous style. My husband is really so good, just helping Daoist Yuan who has a grudge with my husband?"

"What else can I do? There are still some tails left in the incidents of the past. This kind of offending people still needs to be done by Yuan Tiangang to clean up the mess he caused back then, and I will be less troublesome. It's gone." Xuan Shijing sighed.

Helping one's enemies is beneficial, but I still feel something is wrong.

Therefore, as the saying goes, those who achieve great things do not stick to small details, and the prime minister is the one who can hold a boat in his stomach.

Forget about the discomfort, this incident can be regarded as an end between him and Yuan Tiangang.

The imperial court dealt with the two princes at once, and His Majesty Li Er ordered to kill one of them, which made the ordinary people feel even more panic. The weather in Chang'an City is not very good, which seems to be changing. Therefore, the people feel even more worried. I am eager to find a spiritual sustenance, and now Fomen just hits this opportunity.

It can be said that the prosperity of Buddhism in Chang'an is due to the timing, hard work, and harmony of people.

Yuan Tiangang wanted the Daoist sect to make a way out in such an environment, the road ahead was hard.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, the whole family sat at the table. Datang paid attention to eating without talking or sleeping, but Xuan Shijing felt that the only time when the family got together easily during the day was during the meal. How can there be so many rules.

"In the past few days, Chang'an and the surrounding counties have been in chaos. Has something major happened?" Wang asked.

Mrs. Wang has not gone out these days, so the news she received was not timely.

"Buddhism and Taoism are making noise." Xuan Shijing said: "For the sake of incense."

"Didn't the two families continue to quarrel? But think about it. After all, now that Master Xuanzang has returned to Chang'an, it is a great help for Chang'an Buddhism." Wang said with a smile.

"If they like to make a fuss in Chang'an, they can make a fuss. Someone will take care of it. It has nothing to do with us." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"What if they make a fuss and come to Dongshan County?" Wang asked, "The current Dongshan County is different from the past, but it is very attractive."

"To Dongshan County?" The chopsticks in Xuan Shijing's hand stopped: "Then drive them out, and let them stay here forever if they can't get out."

"Husband~~~" Jin Yang tugged at Xuan Shijing's sleeve.

What Xuan Shijing said was too domineering.

"Why does Jing'er dislike Buddhism and Taoism so much?" Wang was also curious. Priest Yuan Shoucheng and Priest Sun Simiao are both from the Taoist sect, and they have a good relationship with the Hou Mansion.

"It's easier to talk about Taoism. After all, there are officials who are quiet and the court is easy to manage, but it's hard to say about Buddhism. I don't want the farmers in my village to work hard all their lives and believe in Buddha. All the money in the family is filled with sesame oil, and all the land in my hand is given to those monks who don't do shit." Xuan Shijing said.

It’s nothing new for the Buddhist sects in Chang’an City to enclose land around Chang’an, but the people don’t raise their officials, and those officials don’t care about the affairs of the Buddhist sects. , the family members of the family will also go to Buddhist temples to add sesame oil, so what can they be expected to do?
"Those monks don't farm land, what do they want land for?" Jin Yang was also taken aback by Xuan Shijing's words.

"That's right, they don't farm the land, they have people donating sesame oil money to the temple, and by the way they hire tenants to farm the land, and they don't pay taxes to the court. That's the truth." Xuan Shijing said.

"This is so unreasonable. In this way, the common people will suffer, and a group of monks will be rich?" Jin Yang said in surprise.

"How much wealth can be accumulated in a temple, you will know by copying one." Xuan Shijing sniffed and said with a smile: "It's just that someone has the guts to deal with Buddhist temples without fear of criticism from the people."

"This..." Jin Yang was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Okay, let's eat with peace of mind, it has nothing to do with us." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Jin Yang wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

It was night, Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang were sleeping in the room with their clothes on, Xuan Shijing turned around and looked at Jinyang.

"Come on, you must have something to say during the meal, but it's just that you can't speak in front of your mother."

"Husband~~~"

"You and I are husband and wife, what's on your mind that you can hide from me, my husband?" Xuan Shijing laughed.

Jin Yang shook his head slightly, and then smiled: "Yes, we can't hide it from day to day, but it's just worrying. According to my husband, if Buddhism continues to develop like this, the court will not restrict it, and the consequences will only get worse and worse. Bar."

"Well, it is the common people who are harmed by the unlimited enclosure of land and money. Hiring tenants to farm the land not only hurts the common people, but also damages the court's tax revenue." Xuan Shijing said.
