The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Wu Shu's pregnancy can be said to be a reasonable and unexpected event. After all, she has worked so hard for so long, but she didn't expect it to come at this time.

But no matter what, her pregnancy is good news for Zixiaoguan, and Sun Simiao couldn't close his mouth happily.

The entire Guanguan is also very happy, so that the inheritance of Zixiao Temple is guaranteed, and everyone doesn't have to worry about suddenly changing the owner one day and everything will come to naught.

Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Yang, also rushed over when she learned that her daughter was happy, and imparted various experiences in pregnancy protection.

Wu Shu lived a life like a national treasure, but she didn't like it very much, and complained distressedly: "I just got pregnant, why don't I do this."

Mrs. Wu taught: "Why don't you, the first two months are the most dangerous... This is your ancestor in your stomach, there can't be any mistakes, don't you understand."

Wu Shu has heard similar words countless times, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I understand, he is the ancestor, we must love him."

Then he muttered: "But no one cares about the mood of the ancestor's mother."

Mrs. Wu said earnestly: "You are the ancestor's mother who gave birth to the ancestor, and you are nothing if you are not born..."

"Think about us back then, don't you understand? If you have a brother, those two little bastards dare to drive us out and try."

Hearing her mother mention the past, Wu Shu also fell silent. That experience was too painful and she will never forget it.

Fortunately, she met Chen Jingke, otherwise she really didn't know what she would be like now.

But now she doesn't have such deep hatred for her two half-brothers.In particular, Wu Yuanshuang was severely punished, and Wu Huaiyun, the culprit, was also punished by Wu Yuanqing and sent back to his hometown.

Some time ago, Wu Yuanshuang was completely scared out of her wits, and when she came back, she kept apologizing, which made her feel even more boring, and the resentment in her heart had almost disappeared.

Originally, she wanted to keep Wu Yuanshuang by her side as a helper, but her mother was so angry that she didn't want to keep him, so she let him go back to her hometown in desperation.

But in any case, for her, the previous things are in the past.Although I still feel angry when I think about it, it will not be so uncomfortable.

Mrs. Wu continued: "Don't think that you are as stable as Mount Tai because you are carried in eight sedan chairs. The child is the most important thing. Having a child..."

Wu Shu frowned slightly. She would think it made sense when she heard similar words from her mother before, but she didn't know why she just felt impatient when she heard them again this time.

But as smart as she was, she didn't show it, but pretended that she had listened to everything.Sure enough, Mrs. Wu changed the topic by herself after a while.

Chen Jingke didn't appear until Mrs. Wu left, and said with lingering fear: "Mother-in-law is really good at talking, I was scared away when I tried to come in several times."

Wu Shu shot him a sideways look, and said, "Why, you hate her so much? You hate me anytime soon."

"How is it possible, Shu'er just said that I will never dislike it for the rest of my life." Chen Jingke said sweet words on his mouth, but he complained endlessly in his heart, saying that pregnant women are moody, but this change is too obvious.

Afraid that the topic would continue endlessly, he hurriedly said: "Master told me just now that you should not be too tired after pregnancy, and asked you to find a reliable person to help share the work, so you don't get tired."

As expected, Wu Shu's attention was diverted, he nodded and said: "Let Yihe come, she has often helped me before, and she has a better understanding of the situation in the temple, so it will be very convenient to take over the work."

Chen Jingke said indifferently: "You can make arrangements for this matter, as long as you trust it."

Then the couple talked about some work matters, most of the time they talked about their children.

Wu Shu asked the question most mothers would ask: "Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"

Chen Jingke knew her worry, and said with a smile: "Both my son and daughter like it. Anyway, we will have many children in the future, and sooner or later we will have both sons and daughters."

Wu Shu's mood really improved a lot.

Chen Jingke wanted to stay here overnight at night, but Wu Shu remembered his mother's advice and firmly refused him to stay overnight.

Chen Jingke knew what she was worried about, and said dumbfoundingly: "What do you think of me, you just want to rest with you."

Wu Shu hesitated for a moment, but immediately became firm and said, "No, I must put an end to all dangers for the sake of my child."

Chen Jingke was kicked out helplessly, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart. It seemed that you were more active than me every time before, but now you are guarding me like a thief.

Back in his small courtyard, Yuzhu was as warm to him as ever, Yi Nu became more silent, bowed his head and did not speak.

Chen Jingke naturally knew the reason, grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry, come one by one, sooner or later you will get your wish."

Yi Nu asked suspiciously: "Really?"

Chen Jingke patted his chest and said, "From now on, I will come back to live every night, and I don't believe you won't be able to conceive...but let me rest for a few days."

……

The next day, Falin arrived as scheduled, and Chen Jingke came forward to greet her, and said apologetically, "Master happens to be in closed-door practice to compile medical books and see no outsiders. If you are negligent, please forgive me, master."

Falin had expected this a long time ago, and Sun Simiao's avoidance just confirmed his guess that this attack on Buddhism was initiated by the young real person in front of him.

"Amitabha, it's my presumptuousness to come here. Sun Zhenren's medical skills are so powerful that countless people have survived. The completion of this medical book will definitely benefit all people. How can it be interrupted by a poor monk?"

After a few words of politeness between the two, Chen Jingke welcomed him into the living room of the side hall and seated him as the guest of honor.

Falin didn't ramble, and went straight to the point: "Buddhism and Taoism have coexisted for hundreds of years. Although there are disputes, they are generally peaceful. This move by a real person may break the balance and cause unpredictable consequences."

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Chen Jingke didn't say any polite words, and said: "Buddhism must be completely integrated into China, or it will be stripped and discarded. Choose one of the two, what kind of situation does the master hope to see?"

"Amitabha." Falin didn't expect him to be so direct, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Why is the real person so aggressive? Since my Buddha entered the middle land, he has taught and transformed all living beings. He dare not say that he has made great achievements, and he has worked hard."

Chen Jingke said: "That's why we chose Lao Tzu to turn Hu into a Buddha, instead of emphasizing your identity as a foreign pagan. As long as you are willing to accept Lao Tzu's transformation of Hu, the dispute will settle down."

Falin was also annoyed by his arrogance, and fought back: "How can such absurd theories deceive people of insight? Forcibly promoting the transformation of Hu into a Buddha, I'm afraid it will only become a laughing stock in the end."

Chen Jingke smiled lightly and asked, "Master, do you know where Tianzhu is? Do you know where the Buddha country you are talking about is? Do you know what the Buddha country looks like now?"

Falin was at a loss for words, and after a while she said, "I've never been to a Buddhist country, so I can't tell the real person what it's like there. I think it's a paradise."

Then he asked back: "Does the real person know what the Buddha country looks like?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Jingke nodded and said: "I know, your Buddha's hometown was destroyed by the enemy thousands of years ago and turned into ruins. The so-called Buddhist country has long since ceased to exist."

Falin couldn't believe it: "How is it possible... how did you know?"

Chen Jingke didn't explain, but said: "Although you are a devout Buddhist, I'm afraid you don't know anything about the life of Sakyamuni Buddha?"

"Amitabha." Falin proclaimed the Buddha's name again, and said, "Please enlighten me."

Chen Jingke told what he knew about Sakyamuni: born in a small country surrounded by powerful enemies, although he is a prince, his ability is limited...

And he was extremely dissatisfied with the harsh local class system. After he had achieved some success in his studies, he founded Buddhism and advocated the equality of all beings.

Although Buddhism once prospered, it did not really change the destiny of its own country. It was still destroyed by strong neighbors and the whole country was reduced to ruins.

"Buddhism's local influence in Tianzhu is also limited. People there believe in the ancient Tianzhu religion and believe in Brahma Shiva... So now the true teaching of Buddhism is in Tang Dynasty instead of Tianzhu."

Yi Falin was stunned for a while because of his xinxing cultivation. He never thought that the life of the Buddha was so rough, and the Buddha Kingdom no longer existed.

But soon he recovered, and said: "Amitabha, the Buddha Kingdom is at ease, as long as the Buddha's will is still in the Buddha Kingdom."

"I don't know if what you said is true or not, but the Buddha in what you said has aroused the poor monk's respect for my Buddha. In such a dangerous situation, he can create boundless Dharma."

Chen Jingke said solemnly: "I also admire the Buddha very much. There are indeed many excellent things in Buddhism that are worth learning from."

Falin asked in confusion: "Then why is the real person still like this?"

Chen Jingke said: "The positions are different. As a descendant of China, I want to ensure the purity of Chinese culture."

"We must absorb excellent foreign cultures and ideas, but the premise is that these foreign ideas must be integrated into China and become a part of China."

"If Buddhism wants to enter China, it must take the initiative to integrate into Chinese thought, and it is absolutely impossible to exist as a pagan religion in a foreign country."

Falin frowned slightly, and said, "Don't the real person think this move is too narrow?"

Chen Jingke said in turn: "Since the master is not narrow-minded, why should you be obsessed with where Buddhism originated from? Wouldn't it be more broad-minded to take the initiative to integrate into China?"

Falin was also taken aback by his fallacious reasoning, and after silently chanting Amitabha several times, she suppressed her anger and said:

"Buddhism was born in Tianzhu. This is an unchangeable fact. It cannot be distorted by a fairy tale."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "That's true, what if Tianzhu also becomes the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future?"

Falin stood up in shock, and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Tianzhu is thousands of miles away, how can Datang occupy its land?"

Chen Jingke was very satisfied with his reaction, and said: "Last year, Datang formed a fleet of more than [-] merchant ships to go to Tianzhu. You must have heard of this matter, right?"

Falin nodded subconsciously. This matter was quite a big one at the time, so he naturally knew it.

Chen Jingke continued: "Then if there are more than [-] warships going this time, Tianzhu is divided into dozens of small countries, our fleet can easily complete the landing, and then conquer them one by one."

Falin didn't know the real situation in Tianzhu, but if it was really divided as Chen Jingke said, then it would be really difficult for them to resist Datang's army.

But he still didn't believe that Tang Dynasty would use force there: "What if we win for a while? The Tianzhu people will not accept the rule of foreigners."

Chen Jingke asked back: "Why not? The Xianbei, Qiang, and Di people all established their own countries in Central China. Facts have proved that the people will be loyal to whoever can feed the people."

"The people of Tianzhu are also human beings. If the Great Tang can feed them enough, they will immediately become Tang people. If they are educated, they will completely become Chinese people within two generations."

Falin argued: "Tianzhu is too far away from the Tang Dynasty, even if it is occupied, it cannot be effectively governed..."

Chen Jingke interrupted him and said: "Divide the feudal title, entrust some of the achievements of the Tang Dynasty to establish a vassal state, and all problems can be easily solved."

Previously, the world map was still top secret, and the specific encapsulation strategy was also confidential information, so it could not be disclosed to outsiders casually.

But Li Shimin had already released a part of the world map before, and that map included the entire territory of the Eurasian continent, and a small part of the land of Africa.

It's just that the two continents of Australia and America are hidden. These two continents are too related, so it's better not to be known by too many people for the time being.

As far as the enfeoffment has progressed to the present stage, there are no secrets at all, and everyone has a rough estimate of the land that can be enfeoffed.

Although Tianzhu is remote, but the land is fertile, and there are a large number of indigenous people who can be enslaved, many nobles are still willing to go there.

Therefore, Chen Jingke's disclosure of this plan at this time is not considered a leak.

But for Falin, the impact of this news was too great. He never expected that Datang's plan would be so far-reaching, and he had even thought of a way to carve up Tianzhu.

If this plan is really followed, it is really possible to turn the hometown of the Buddha into the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the Buddha will be a Tang Dynasty man by then.

The point is that Taoism was the first to know about this plan and made a plan to attack Buddhism based on it. This is the last thing he wants to face.

Speaking of which, Chen Jingke saw that the time was ripe, so he decided to give him a fatal blow, saying: "If you want to complete the governance of the newly occupied land, you must educate the local people."

"Naturally, you can't use foreign and pagan knowledge to educate the barbarians. Otherwise, what's the point? The only thing the court and princes can rely on is Chinese culture. Taoism can be said to have taken advantage of the right time, place, and harmony."

"In this way, doesn't your Buddhism seem too embarrassing? I am afraid that the first thing the princes and kings who occupy the Buddhist country will do is to destroy the Buddha, and then introduce my Taoism to completely wash away the traces of Buddhism."

"Do you think that the attack on Buddhism this time is a matter of my Taoist family? No, we have the acquiescence of the princes and kings to prepare for the future."

"The general trend of the world is vast. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. You have no choice, either accept Lao Tzu's transformation into Hu, or be eliminated as a disharmonious factor."
