Ji Tang

Chapter 752: You kid, learn from it

"Marquis Ji, is your Majesty really planning to give a speech to Pindao?" Li Chunfeng asked carefully.

Ji Song nodded reservedly and said distressedly: "Yes, and His Majesty has handed over this matter to me. What do you call this thing? What does it have to do with me? You want to do it in such a grand way, it will cost a lot of money." Less."

"But you also know that the prime minister is Pi Xiu. He can only get in but not get out. If you want him to pay for it, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky!"

After saying that, he was still worried that Li Chunfeng wouldn't believe it, so he took out a approval note.

"What? Only two thousand guan? Is this enough for what?"

Seeing the numbers above, even Li Chunfeng, who has a very good temper, couldn't help but scold her.

"No, I have to go to him to reason with him. When I asked Pin Dao to tell his grandson's fortune, I was not at all perfunctory. Now I am treating him like this. It is simply unreasonable!"

As he said that, he was going to argue with Fang Xuanling about a batch of notes. How dare Ji Song let him go? The batch of notes was forged by himself, so he couldn't reveal his secret after he went there?
"Hey, don't worry!"

"Actually, it's not the Prime Minister's fault. Who makes it difficult for the court? Floods in Jiangnan and construction in Shandong don't require a lot of money?"

"Don't be anxious. I'll think of a solution later. If it doesn't work, I'll take care of it first."

Ji Song looked sad and said regretfully: "But I can't raise much. I diverted a large sum of money for his own use some time ago, and now I don't have much left at home."

Then he said in a consultative tone: "How about we take it slow? Wait until this period of time passes and the court is more relaxed, or wait until I am around, and then we can do it again?"

Li Chunfeng became anxious when he heard this. Is this something that can be slowed down?
He couldn't help himself when he thought about the scene where he was on the day of the solar eclipse, under the spotlight of everyone, and the sun was gradually being swallowed up within the time he had calculated.

That day is the best time. When it passes and everyone is fresh and fresh, who will care then!

And this incident is also a good publicity for Taoism. Compared with the gods and Buddhas, the miracles seen with one's own eyes can move people's hearts more.

Seeing that Xuanzang is about to return, if Taoism cannot fight back, how will it fight against Buddhism then?

He didn't expect this at first, but now that he had such a good opportunity in front of him, how could he let it pass?
"No! Absolutely not!"

Li Chunfeng refused after thinking about it, slowly?The daylilies will be cold by then.

He was running around in circles anxiously, thinking about what else to do.

Ji Song also showed a thoughtful expression while sitting on the chair, as if he was also thinking of a solution.

"Wait a moment, Lord Marquis, Pindao will come again tomorrow!"

After saying that, he said no more, turned around and left in a hurry.

When Li Chunfeng left, a person appeared from the screen behind Ji Song. Is it Li Shimin or who else?
"Can the Taoist family really come up with this money?" He didn't believe it.

Ji Song took some time off and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you want to say who is the richest in the world, apart from the treasury, it is probably the Buddhist and Taoist families."

"The accumulation of thousands of years is not 01:30. Their Taoist temples are all over the world, and even a little bit of the inheritance of thousands of years is probably enough for us."

"This is a rare opportunity for the Taoists. If they wait for Master Xuanzang to come back, it will be much more difficult for them to fight back. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has been around since ancient times, and now it has reached a fever pitch. If you don't want to be suppressed, then you have no choice but to Fight back at all costs." Li Shimin was thoughtful after hearing this, he knew that the Buddhist family was rich.When my father was in power, he suppressed Buddhism and even Taoism.

"480 Temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers are in the mist and rain?"

"During the Southern Dynasties, all the dignified kings of the country were almost starved to death. If this Buddhism was not restricted, it would definitely become a great disaster." Li Shimin said with deep understanding.

Ji Song also nodded and said: "Yes, since Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Ming Dynasty, it has continuously absorbed the Central Plains culture, discarding its dross and extracting its essence. At this time, it is inseparable from the Central Plains culture."

"You must have also learned about the situation of body poisoning. The monks there are completely exposed to the supreme power of the king. Their power, the number of believers, and the level of piety are simply shocking."

"People are divided into four classes. There is no intermarriage between classes, and there is no way to jump. This kind of Buddhism is the Buddhist kingdom on earth!"

Li Shimin understood what Ji Song meant. In recent years, he had sent more and more spies to the West, and the situation in Western countries soon spread to Datang.

What made him unbelievable was that where the religious power was so huge, even the emperor's succession had to be canonized by them, which chilled him to the extreme.

Religion maintains the authority of gods and Buddhas and is the incarnation of gods in the human world. This idea is as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the West as filial piety is as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Central Plains.

That was something deeply rooted in his bones, which made him so wary of religion that he had never been on guard before.

Therefore, he was even more vigilant when he learned that Master Xuanzang was about to return from his body to seek Buddhist scriptures.

But is Buddhism so easy to get along with?There were so many followers that even he, the emperor, did not dare to act rashly.

But now, a solar eclipse and what he observed last night made him doubt the words of gods and Buddhas.

There is nothing on the moon, it only shines by refracting the sun's light.

Ji Song's suggestion last night made him enlightened. He suddenly thought, isn't this the method he has been looking for for a long time, a method to restrict Buddhism?

The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has never stopped, and now it has reached the point where you can't wait to fight to the death.Li Chunfeng's calculation of the solar eclipse was no small matter.

This is the first time since ancient times that people have observed specific data of a solar eclipse. If publicity and Taoism are used, wouldn't this be a perfect opportunity to suppress Buddhism?
As for whether Taoism will agree?Ah!It's not a matter of whether you think about it or not.They will create opportunities even if they don't have any, not to mention that the opportunity is right in front of them now?
But after calculating the cost this time, Li Shimin was a little reluctant.

If he wanted to maximize his influence, he would have to spend more money than 01:30. If he had the money, he could do so many things.

But when it comes to these people, he feels very uncomfortable.

So, after discussion between the monarch and his ministers, an old Yinbi and a little fox, they came up with today's scene, which is to let the Taoists pay the bill themselves.

"Do you think Yuan Tiangang will agree? And will those people in Longhu Mountain support Li Chunfeng?" Ji Song said with a guilty conscience.

This time they were planning to trick the Taoists. If they didn't agree, wouldn't their efforts be in vain?

"Don't worry! Our trick is just to fool Li Chunfeng, a junior promoted by Taoism. Those old foxes are almost becoming sperms. As long as Li Chunfeng tells them, they can guess almost everything."

"But what's the matter? You have to dance when you should. This is a conspiracy. You kid should learn from it."

Seeing Li Shimin looking disgusting as if I eat more salt than you eat rice, he curled his lips and decided not to get along with this narcissist.
