Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 22 Farin
Li Shimin triumphantly finished offering sacrifices to Taishe and Taimiao, and sure enough, the criticism has subsided.

All the meritorious personnel rewarded a circle, Li Shimin touched his chin and thought, did he forget something?
However, since it is forgotten, it must not be very important, right?

In Dunhua Square, Fan Zheng, holding a jujube stick and squatting on the ground drawing circles, was full of resentment.

Me, me!

Don't talk about giving it to the official, at least a thousand gold rewards, right?
Don't think Fan Zheng is greedy, he doesn't want much.

This ten thousand gold is not the ten thousand gold in the concept of later generations, but ten thousand Kaiyuan Tongbao, ten guan coins, and only 64 catties.

Of course, there was a money shortage during the Zhenguan period, and Kaiyuan Tongbao was very strong. Even if the status quo of four years of Zhenguan was not maintained, Doumi was still around 33 Wen all year round, and a dou of rice was twelve and a half catties. The food is [-] catties per month!

In other words, three buckets is enough for Fan Zheng to feed himself for a month.

Five hundred buckets of rice is enough to feed Fan Zheng's family for four and a half years.

After doing the math, Fan Zheng felt his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, now with the income from selling tooth incense and the salary of a general who has been dismissed from the ninth rank, Fan Zheng's life is still pretty good.

With a salary of [-] to [-] Wen a year, it is considered to be well-off.

It's a pity that the clerk only has a salary of 54 and a half shi, [-] acres of land, and five pennies for sex service (you can't buy it with money), and you are greedy...

Well, suffering is a blessing. For blessing, Fan Zheng even went to Daxingshan Temple to burn a stick of incense, gave the Buddha the usual gift of money, and then enjoyed the "stomach split" treatment of the new monk, almost knowing everything. .

It is said that Bopo and Duvina Xuanmo, the masters of the temple, are practicing "closed meditation" and do not see outsiders all day long.

Before the completion of Zen, Daxingshan Temple does not participate in any external affairs, only accepts normal incense, and restricts monks to do their homework.

Unruly monks, regardless of their status, will be expelled from Daxingshan Temple.

It was only then that Fan Zheng remembered that he was a monk who knew how to play, and the excuses of translating scriptures were not as lofty as shutting down.

Hearing people's persuasion and eating enough, Fan Zheng's heart sank.

As long as there are no moths in Daxingshan Temple, Zen Master Bopo will not leave, and Yaxiang in Dunhuafang can continue to develop.

……

In October, Li Shimin personally wrote "Ordering Taoist Priests Before Monks".

"The old gentleman sets an example, and righteousness lies in the pure and empty; Sakyamuni, reason and cause and effect. Seeking his teachings, there are different ways to learn from them; poor his ancestors, the wind of great benefits is uniform. However, the prosperity of the Dao starts from the deep In ancient times, it originated from a nameless beginning, and things are more than tangible. It runs with two instruments, encompasses everything and cultivates pavilions, so it can be governed by the state, and the simplicity is restored. Just like the rise of Buddhism, based on the Western Regions, it was caught in the later Han Dynasty There are many reasons for divine change, and there is only one reason for retribution... Kuang Zhen's origin comes from the history of Zhu. Today's Ding Zuo Kechang is not only based on the celebration of virtue; It is advisable to change the Zhang and explain it to Yuanhua. From now on, fasting and offerings will be established. As for the title, its Taoist female crown can be before monks and nuns. Zhu Wanye. Report to the world, and the master will implement it."

Li Shimin has been watching the Buddhist and Taoist dispute in the Zhenguan year with cold eyes. Due to the major events one after another, he did not directly take action.

Now, Li Shimin, who freed his hand, slapped Fomen with a "slap".

Fighting, see you don't want to face for the incense and the fields.

My surname is Li, and my family is also surnamed Li. I am the ancestor of my family, so let me argue!

Is it far-fetched? It's been a long time ago, and it has long been impossible to verify it.

Besides, it is not my first initiative to pretend to be an ancestor. If you want to ask Liu Bang to prove it yourself, Liu Lei must be his ancestor!

You know, the Liu surname in the ancient Central Plains, in addition to the line of Liu Lei, also has the Ji surname Liu that originated in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Therefore, this thing is just a face-lifting thing, and has no real effect.

For those who are sensible, let's have fun watching it, and go home and talk to the mother-in-law on the kang, isn't that good?
As for favoring Taoism, isn't it justifiable with Lao Tzu's excuse?
Now the proportion of temples and Taoist temples is seriously skewed.

There are 350 and eight temples, plus Zhaoti and Lan Ruo Shao said there are [-] to [-].

Zhaoti refers to privately built temples that have not been approved by the imperial court, and Lanruo refers to places of practice built in inaccessible places.

There are only 680 Taoist temples in the world.

The comparison of this number is immediately creepy.

If the power of Buddhism is so huge, once it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.

Respecting the ancestors is just an obvious excuse, otherwise do you think that Wei Zheng, the servant under the door, can pass the test?

Menxia Province is originally a place to review government orders, and Wei Zheng has already embarked on the route of a lonely minister, as long as he doesn't like it, he will spout randomly.

Li Shimin was so angry that he wanted to kill Wei Zheng several times. Empress Changsun's persuasion played a role, and it was also Li Shimin who wanted to be a daughter.

All in all, Wei Zheng would definitely not be able to pass the matter of purely fighting for his ancestors - even Wei Zheng had been a Taoist priest.

But a group of Buddhist monks are not convinced, so why do we have to submit to Taoism?

To say that Buddhism is a foreign culture must be recognized, but we have all been localized for hundreds of years!

When the monks had a meeting, the bald head was so bright that it made the sun and the moon fade away.

However, the former Daxingshan Temple, where the monks in the capital all over the world, almost closed the temple a few months ago, and received incense, observed the precepts and chanted scriptures normally, and even refused the registration order. The temple owner and Duvina They all practiced closed-mouth meditation.

The closed-mouth meditation that only exists in legends is said to have great merit and great magic power. Who dares to bear the karma of destroying others' meditation?

Target transfer.

He once translated scriptures with Zen master Popo, and wrote more than [-] volumes of books such as "On Evil" and "On Zhengzheng". Monk Lin, the size is just right.

As a result, the monks urged Falin to come forward to protest, and Falin, who was 65 years old, also stubbornly went to the table repeatedly.

So listening to one's ears and knowing one's destiny are never absolute things.

Some people, even if they live to be a hundred years old, their tempers are still violent.

The emperor ignored it, obviously he had made up his mind.

Buddhism will be noisy, and Taoism will not stand idly by.

In Chonghua (Jiao) Square, there is a Longxing Temple. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Chengqian was ill, and the real Qin Ying prayed for his recovery, so he was established as the Xihua Temple.

Because of this, Qin Ying was favored by the emperor and the prince.

Therefore, Li Shimin's anger finally erupted when Qin Ying impeached Falin's "Bian Zheng Lun" to slander the emperor's ancestors and deceive the emperor.

Qin Ying's testimony was not false.

No matter what the facts are, the officials have set the tone, and you have to sing the opposite, because you feel that the imperial court is not good for you?

Falin verified that the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty were actually from the Tuoba family in the Yuan and Wei Dynasties. The results of this research are still doubtful, but does this standpoint look like 50?
