I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 115 Owl Head
On the tenth day of March, Feng Guanghui married Princess Xincheng.

In order to wait for the wedding, the old Duke Feng Shenji has not yet gone to Hedong to take office.The Feng family naturally attached great importance to this wedding. Although the scene was not as good as the marriage between Marquis Wu'an and Princess Ningguo a few days ago, it was definitely considered grand.

And after the tenth day of the lunar new year, at the end of March, there was another marriage between Qi Wang Zhao Yuanzhang and Princess Jialuo of the Golden Horde Khanate.

In between, there are two things that are extremely important.

The first room, of course, is the [-]-day debate on Buddhism and Taoism.

Although many people know the referee of this debate, what is the tendency of the Emperor Daojun, but they are still very concerned about this debate.

Seventeen eminent monks participated in the debate, including Master Huizeng, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Chengde, the abbot of Famen Temple, and Master Huili, a well-known Buddhist monk in Shanghai.

As for the Daoist sect, Tao Zhenren, the master of the Shouqing Temple, Zhang Guizhen Zhang Zhenren from Longhu Mountain, and Quanzhen Lin Huaisulin and other seventeen Daoist Daomen.

In the main hall of Daming Palace, the two sides held the "Xuanjia Great Debate", which was called the beginning of "Xuanjia's Difficulties" by later generations.

Fu Jinchuan and Zhao Yuanshu, as well as many royal relatives and nobles, as well as courtiers, all participated in this debate.

Tao Yingzhen, as the square, argues that "Tao produces all things".The Buddhist masters have always thought that "if you make the Tao knowable, you can only be born in goodness, why is it also born in evil..."

The two sides all cited classics, fought with each other, and tried their best to refute.A group of onlookers below were whispering.

In the end, under the intervention of the referee, that is, several prime ministers consciously "pull the frame", the debate finally won.

Several Buddhist masters lost the debate, but they didn't show too much frustration.After the debate, he even chatted and laughed with some Taoist real people.

"If you guess correctly, these masters should have been hinted a long time ago, and their temples should not be included in the list of forbidden destruction." Fu Jinchuan asked Zhao Yuantan next to him.

"Hehe, why is Sanlang so brilliant after he married Sizi?" Prince Zhao Yuantan joked.

"What? Brother Tan, I don't like to listen to what you said. Am I not smart? That's what you said."

"Hahaha" Lin Changyuan, Li Yan, Guo Chongxun and Feng Guanghui beside them all laughed.

Wu Yaoshi looked at Fu Jinchuan and Zhao Yuantan talking and laughing, and couldn't help but look a few more times.Then the fellow sister Wu Mingda left the hall together and ran outside the palace gate.

He is very envious of this relationship.Compared with the prince Zhao Yuantan who can be said to be a widow, Wu Yaoshi is more like a widow.

Especially on this occasion, except for his younger sister, there is no one to tell him.
"After a play is over, it's time to issue an edict in a few days, right?"

Wu Mingda said in a slightly mocking tone beside him.

Yaoshi Wu said: "Who knows? It's going to rain, mother is going to get married, let him go, these things are not something you and I can talk about."

"If you have the final say, in the face of the current situation, how do you choose? Do you choose to destroy the Buddha, or plan to fight with the world's aristocratic families? Or are you reaching out to the common people for the sake of wealth?"

Wu Mingda asked like an exam.

Wu Yaoshi said: "I don't know. Maybe a son of a vassal prince like your majesty can worship Buddha, but if it is a prince, a king like me, it will definitely not be a good thing for the country and society."

Wu Mingda said: "I'm quite sober."

"Awake? Hehehe, it's just that it doesn't hurt my back when I stand and talk."

"By the way, Aye heard that His Majesty is going to participate in the hunting in person, and even specially sent a tiger over to His Majesty."

"Tiger?" Pharmacist Wu questioned after hearing this.

"It's a ferocious tiger in the prime of life, and it's a strange species from deep in the mountains. It's extremely ferocious, comparable to a third-rank master."

Pharmacist Wu was a little surprised: "What's Aye's idea? Demonstration?"

Wu Mingda said: "Who knows."

The two walked in the long palace corridor, carefully speaking outrageous words.

Fu Jinchuan, Duke Ying, Duke Dingguo, Duke Fuguo, Marquis Zhenyuan, Prime Ministers Li Fuzhi, Xie Qian, Li Fazeng, and Tao Yingzhen, who was brilliant in the debate just now, were all left in Daming Palace.

Emperor Daojun ordered people to take out a very huge map of the world, and then unfold it with a wooden shelf made in advance. On it, there are state capitals, various roads, military garrisons, and mountains and rivers.

And the most on the top are densely packed Buddhist temples.

"In the first year of Xianqing. Emperor Gaozong ordered the construction of Ximing Temple in Xijing. After the temple was completed, he gave a hundred farms, a hundred houses for clean people, fifty cars, and two thousand pieces of silk cloth. In the second year of Hongde, Emperor Xuanzong bestowed The land of Shengci Temple is 1 mu. In addition to these direct rewards, nobles and nobles of the past dynasties also donated property to the temple on a large scale. There are fifteen farms in Liquan Temple in Baishan, Changzhou. There are seven farms in Longzhou Elephant Temple, with [-] mu of land. Monks and nuns with a lot of land in the temple cannot cultivate it, so they can only hire tenants to cultivate it. A large number of people are attached to the temple. I became the people under the rule of the monastery."

Emperor Daojun pointed to the big picture behind him and talked eloquently.It seems like a rare edition.

"Do you know how many Buddhist temples there are in the whole world, Mr. Li?"

Li Fuzhi almost didn't think about it, and blurted out: "There are more than [-] temples and nunneries."

The Emperor Daojun continued to ask, "Where is the Taoist temple?"

Li Fuzhi continued: "More than three thousand and four hundred."

The Emperor Daojun suddenly laughed and said: "I am the emperor of Daojun, hahaha. Fools say that I respect Taoism and suppress Buddhism, but I feel ashamed of this reputation. Taoism in the world is not as good as a fraction of Buddhism, hahaha."

Many people, on the other hand, stared at this huge map of the world in a daze.

There are thousands of densely packed Buddhist temples written on it, and this part of the more than 4 Buddhist temples mentioned by Li Fuzhi is also considered to be relatively large. .

But this is enough to shock people.Because these Buddhist temples are too dense.And all over the world.

Guanzhong, Gyeonggi, Huainan, Jiannan, Hexi, Hebei, and Hedong. These Buddhist temples have at least hundreds of monks, and some even have thousands or even thousands of monks. There are also many tenants under the temple.
Fu Jinchuan looked at this picture and looked at it purely from the perspective of military use. If the Buddhist sects were connected in series, what kind of turmoil would it cause?

I'm afraid Guanzhong, Longshang, and Hebei will all be in chaos.

"There are more than [-], and I will cut off the number of [-]!"

Emperor Daojun's words immediately silenced the entire hall.

It is indeed a bit appalling.

"After the spring hunting, Prince Zhao Yuantan inspected Guanzhong and Longyou. The British Duke Fu Maoxiu was the governor of Luozhou and controlled the four states of Luozheng and Ruhuai. Zhou Wang Lingzhan was the governor of Liangzhou and controlled the four states of Liang, Yang, Ji and Bi. The governor of Yangzhou controlled the armies in Huainan, Wang Bin, Marquis of Zhenyuan, was the governor of Yanzhou, and controlled the three prefectures of Yan, Yi, and Tai, and the king of Wu was the governor of Yuezhou, and controlled the four prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River."

"You are all my humerus, important ministers of the country, in this difficult time, please."

Speaking, Daojun Emperor will be arrested.

With the emperor's attitude, how can a minister not do his best?
So all the ministers hurriedly fell to the ground to pay homage, and Fu Maoxiu even said: "Your Majesty speaks seriously, share the worries of the emperor, and serve the country. I will go through fire and water, and I will do my best."

"Go through fire and water, and do whatever you want."

It can be said that those who can appear in Daming Palace at this time are people whom Emperor Daojun feels can be trusted.

As for the series of appointments of the Emperor Daojun, some of them have already known about it, and some have just learned about it.But without exception, they all choose the clan, or the elite among the nobles, to act as important places and to restrain the heavy troops.

This does not include the two Jiedu envoys Yu Luohu and Feng Shenji who were appointed before that.As well as the king of Shu in Jiannan, the king of Chu in Xiangzhou, and the king of Yong in Guanzhong.

And these appointments represent the will of the Taoist emperor.

That is, even if the Buddhist sect is aroused to rebel and rebel, the [-] Buddhist temples must be cut down!
This knife is not cut at the waist.

This knife is the head of an owl!
