Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 329
It is impossible for Buddhism to succumb to King Qin's tough tactics so easily, but there are only a few temples. Can King Qin kill all the monks in Chang'an?
But what King Qin did next was beyond anyone's expectation.

"Buddhist temples hide rebels and traitors. I hope the people of Chang'an pay attention to their own safety. Be careful when burning incense in temples, lest there may be evil monks fleeing outside."

When the king of Qin issued a notice, Li Shimin was dumbfounded, and Xuanzang and others were even more stunned.

This is the first time I saw this way of posting notices, especially the tone of it, it really doesn't look like what King Qin wrote.

The monks didn't care, but it wasn't until a few days later that they realized the true power of this notice.

The common people spread word of mouth that temples that burn incense and worship Buddha on weekdays are all sinners, who would dare to go to offer incense?

Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately?What a joke, can all the sins be gone by changing into a cassock?

If so, where is the law of the Tang Dynasty?Where is the justice in heaven and earth?
"Have you heard? The notice posted by His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"I've known it for a long time. Isn't this Buddhism a place of purity? How can it protect criminals?"

"Who said it wasn't? I used to think that those monks were all kind-hearted and kind-hearted. Now, it seems that they are really not human by appearance!"

"Let me tell you, it's better not to go to that place in the future. There is a girl next door to me who disappeared after she went to burn incense in the temple."

"Ah? Whose girl? Why don't I know?"

"It's Ruyifang, a girl from the old Sun's family! Don't you know?"

"Really? Did you find the girl?"

"Where can I find it, no one is there"

It was not Li Fangchen who sent people to stir up this rumor, but the people's doubts.

There are too many stories about Chang'an City, any two can be involved.

It is not uncommon for women in the Tang Dynasty to go to temples to offer incense, and it is inevitable that one or two of them will never return.

It can be said that the legal system of the Tang Dynasty was not perfect, and it could also be said that due to the large population, it was inevitable that it would be neglected.Seventy percent of missing persons cases in Datang will become unsolved, because this is not an era with a sound legal system.

The end of the woman's disappearance is naturally obvious. Only the parents are in tears, regretting that the beloved daughter has passed away.

Because of this, Buddhism plummeted, and the state capitals began to suppress it.

There is also a crown prince above the king of Qin. Seeing that his brother and the Buddhist sect had a dispute, the first thing he did when he went to court the next day was to ask the saint to investigate strictly. The Buddhist sect dared to ignore the law and must be severely punished.

The prince's standing in line also made some courtiers withdraw their original wait-and-see eyes.

The turmoil in the court came out, and the prince and dozens of officials believed that Buddhist temples should be strictly investigated.

Reluctant or not?

Who cares about you?

You are just a Buddhist, you will only be a citizen, not a soldier!

Not to mention the mighty army of the Tang Dynasty, just the White Wolf under King Qin is enough to eradicate Buddhism from the world.

What is left is only a few bits and pieces.

Buddhism's seemingly illusory attitude of avoiding the world has always been their greatest protection.

Who doesn't like a religion that doesn't like power, doesn't fight for positions, and can appease the people?

But it's not going to work now, because their current accumulation has already made people worry.

The doctrine is illusory, and it is far less scary than the batches of gold and silver treasures that appear in reality.

Li Shimin had evil thoughts, thinking of looting all the relatively large temples around Chang'an City, let alone others.

Today you can hand over twelve golden Buddhas and dozens of carts of gold and silver, so what about tomorrow?

How deep is your Buddhist background?
If it weren't for the King of Qin, maybe the Buddhist sect could easily pull up an army of [-]?

This is in Chang'an!Under Li Shimin's nose, there is an army of [-], and it may not be a problem to break through Chang'an!
"Xuanzang, tell King Qin that we agree to his terms!"

Fomen chose to surrender.Without believers, there are very few Buddhist incense burners, and the whole temple looks a bit down and out.

Xuanzang said in his heart: "When I was discussing with you, everyone was arrogant and regarded the King of Qin as nothing, but now they want me. Alas, Amitabha."

Xuanzang visited Qinwangzhuang three times and met Qinwang Li Fangchen again.

"What's the matter? Have you figured it out?"

Li Fangchen and Li Tai looked at each other and smiled, and when they turned their heads to look at Xuanzang, there was a bit of amusement in their smiles.

Xuanzang nodded, "Amitabha, Your Highness, please hold your hand high, and please Your Highness let Buddhism go."

"A horse from the Buddhist sect? How come your Buddhist horse is here with me?"

"Your Highness." Xuanzang showed bitterness, how could he not know that this was the King of Qin's amusement.

"That's all, you get up first, the king can let the Buddhist gate go."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Get up in a hurry, salute again, every move is Tang ceremony, rarely do Buddha ceremony.

It's just that the real name of the Buddha's words is really hard to change, and Li Fangchen doesn't mind it.

"The Buddha said to save the world, and the Buddha saves the world. You can't just say this and then read a few scriptures. This king gave you a chance to really save the world. Why don't you do it?"

Xuanzang remained silent, why didn't he do it, because he thought he was superior to others, that is, he was a monk, why did he practice medicine?

Li Fangchen signaled Xuanzang to take a seat, and then said with a smile: "This king also knows a mage, whose real name is Li Shutong, and whose dharma name plays the voice, but outsiders prefer to call him Master Hongyi!"

Hiroichi?Why has this name never been heard?

Xuanzang was curious and waited quietly for King Qin's words.

"Half life was flashy, and half life served Buddha. This person has collected poems, words, calligraphy and paintings, and made great contributions to the country. No matter who sees him in the contemporary era, he must be called Master Li! All living beings lament."

Li Fangchen is not as simple as talking about it. Master Hongyi, the No. 1 introduction of Western music theory to China, and the pioneer of the New Culture Movement.

He is even the founder of Huaxia drama, which shows the contribution the other party has made to the country.

Who dares to compare with today's Buddhism?
Religion gives people spiritual baptism, making people fearless of all kinds of suffering in life.

But his function is only so, is it possible to rely on Buddha to protect the mountains and rivers?Or pray to the Buddha to ensure that everyone respects each other and all countries are friendly?
"Amitabha, if you are lucky, Xuanzang hopes to worship under the other party's disciples, but it is a pity that we can't meet each other."

Xuanzang sighed in his heart, if what His Royal Highness King Qin said is true, then this mage can really be called an eminent monk.

Li Fangchen also sighed, and then said: "The Buddha is in his heart, and he opens his mouth to call it a Buddha. How ridiculous? If the real Buddha is alive, you, me, and Qingque can all be the real Buddha, but who is the real Buddha and how many people are there? Know? Since you have followed the Buddha, you must know what the Buddha is?"

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness!"

"Buddha is the heart. If there is a Buddha in the heart, everyone is like a Buddha. If the Buddha is the mind, then the mind will obtain the Dharma and save all sentient beings. When the Buddha talks about compassion, he will be merciful to the world and save the world from suffering. If the Buddha is a doctor."

After a pause here, Li Fangchen looked at Xuanzang, who said loudly, "Heal the common people and promote the subtlety of Buddhist theory."

"good!"

At this moment, Xuanzang seemed to have dissipated all the bruises in his heart, and his whole body had been sublimated.

What His Royal Highness Qin Wang said is true, what is Buddha?What is a Buddha?

Since the Buddha helped the common people, why did he stay in the monastery? Could it be that the golden body and the Dharma can really make the world feel the mystery and profoundness of the Dharma?
"Thank you Your Highness, Xuanzang has something to ask for!"

"Word!"

"Your Highness, please send someone to teach the Dharma to Daxiangguo Temple, the Buddhist temples in the world, small monks can't control it, but Daxiangguo Temple will be a true Buddha!"

Li Fangchen looked outside the house, "Hurry up, maybe it will arrive in a few days."

"who?"

"healer!"

"The Taoist?"

"Besides him, who else is qualified?"

"In that case, Xuanzang will leave!"

"Qingque, send the mage away for me."

This was the first time that Xuanzang was sent out of Qinwangzhuang. The previous few times, he returned lonely.

It is different now, he seems to have a new interpretation of Buddhism, feeling in his heart, no matter whether other people are true Buddhas or not, looking at King Qin is enough to talk about true Buddhas.
