The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1107

Jinyang's letter to Li Chengqian stopped as it was written.

"Husband, since you want to intervene in this matter, and you happen to have conflicts with the monks of Fahua Temple, it is better for your husband to submit these things to the father." Jin Yang said: "Today, the matter of Zhuangzi has spread to Chang'an. It will definitely have an impact on my husband's reputation, and the people at Yushitai will not be so indifferent. I think there will be an argument in the morning tomorrow, and my husband might as well use this argument to give my father a reason to raid the temple. Not only that, but the husband's dispute with Fahua Temple on Zhuangzi will also be overshadowed by this incident, for the reputation of the husband, it is a good thing."

According to what Jin Yang said, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone. First, you can really find out the details of these temples, and second, you can wash away some bad influences for Xuan Shijing. , Xuan Shijing's reputation in the court will rise to another level.

Or how to say that it is a good thing to have a good wife at home.

Xuan Shijing pondered for a while, and felt that Jinyang's words were feasible. This matter was entrusted to Li Chengqian, and the result may not be the result of his imagination. When something like Fahua Temple happened, it would be better to do it himself. Let's do it.

"In this case, I will go to the morning court tomorrow, that is to say, I will return to Chang'an this evening." Xuan Shijing said helplessly.

"Your husband will have to work hard." Jin Yang said: "After this matter is over, there is basically nothing to do for your husband. The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the court will start to receive Sifang envoys. The rest Things, except for the military and political matters that need to be dealt with urgently, have to be pushed back or directly handled by the three provinces or the East Palace."

In other words, if the matter of Buddhism is dealt with as soon as possible, I don't know when it will be delayed, and it must be next year at the earliest, right?
As for the matter of Buddhism, only the East Palace and the Three Provinces cannot handle it.

The so-called shooting the top bird, this Buddhist temple in Chang'an City has become the top bird in Chang'an City in the past two years.

Why is Daomen so low-key?Because Taoist priests with a bit of reputation in the Taoist sect will basically not sit in the Taoist temple and show their faces to fool the common people, such as Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang. He has been running for Taoism, but all his teammates are indifferent by nature. Li Chunfeng spends all day looking at the stars in the observatory, deducing fortune-telling. Longxi went to live in seclusion.

As for the monk temple, this master and that master, dressed in red cassock, sit cross-legged in front of the golden body of the Buddha statue in the main hall of the temple. How much money, how much effort they put in
Don't look at the poor life of the monks on the surface, in fact, all of them are rich in secret.

If he made a malicious guess, maybe a certain respected master could have a mistress and an illegitimate child or something outside. When the abbot passed away, he would sit and wait for the position, and then be dug out by his fellow disciples.

The ones with great skills are washed for nothing, and the ones with less skills are waiting to be ruined or something
At least, from the year of Wude to the Zhenguan Dynasty until now, no monk proposed that the temples should be managed by the state. However, the court has issued regulations on the management of temples, and given a certain number of renunciation certificates and identity certificates. These temples are still Regardless of the government's documents, he recruited monks wantonly, and he never refused.

No one has ever brought up the idea of ​​paying taxes in monk temples. If it is said that Buddha transcends the mundane world, then there is nothing to say, because the Buddha itself is a kind of belief. This belief is clean. It is only the human heart, but it is black. , what about people?Also super vulgar?Even monks can’t escape the vulgarity. The monks in these temples are no different from all living beings. Why do they have to be more special than ordinary people?

Why does the government issue a certain number of certificates to temples every year?Most of the monks are young and strong men, and they all ran to become monks, what should they do at home?Who will grow the land?Who will support the elderly?Is it not a kind of selfishness to only care about oneself and detach oneself, and completely ignore others?Even if you are so selfish when you treat your own family members, you still expect to have compassion for all sentient beings?

Who believes this?
Anyone who wants to become a monk can not become a monk, but with the popularity of Buddhism in Chang'an City in recent years, many people would rather go against the wishes of the government and go to the temple to become a monk even if they can't get a certificate of identity.

There are many such things, and the government sees that there are too many people involved, so they are unwilling to take care of it. Even if the family prays for blessings, they will build pagodas and invite monks to perform ceremonies, which makes the officials below feel that these temples cannot be moved.

Since Xuanzang came back, there has been a phenomenon of Buddhist studies in Chang'an City, and Dharma meetings have blossomed everywhere. It seems that suddenly, there are monks everywhere.

If something is new, it may make people have a little liking and a little curiosity, but if it has a sense of existence in front of your eyes every day, then the rest is just disgust.

Just like Xuan Shijing treated these monks who went to Zhuangzi to make money.

Xuan Shijing agreed to go to Jinyang to go to court to clear the matter for herself, so in the evening, Chang Le drove Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue to Chang'an City in a carriage, while Jinyang It was the mansion of the Marquis Mansion that stayed in Zhuangzi. Before leaving, the smile on Jin Yang's face made Xuan Shijing feel a little creepy.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was very strange, Xuan Shijing looked out of the window "casually", and didn't care how cold the outside air was, even though his face was flushed from the cold, he didn't notice it.

Qin Bingyue, on the other hand, lowered her head all the way, rubbing the corners of her clothes with some anxiety.

Judging from Qin Bingyue's reaction, I'm afraid Jinyang has already said something to her, and this girl also agreed in her heart.

The carriage bumped, and Xuan Shijing came back to his senses, only to realize that his face was so frozen that he was unconscious, so he quickly retracted his head, looking at Qin Bingyue inadvertently, only then realized that this The girl's reaction was a bit unusual.

"Cough cough." Xuan Shijing coughed dryly twice, and then opened the topic: "Bingyue, I have already told you, next spring."

"En." Qin Bingyue's voice was almost imperceptible.

Seeing the girl's reaction like this, Xuan Shijing felt relieved, it's normal to be shy, which shows that Qin Bingyue really has feelings for herself in her heart.
