Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 165 Hongfu Temple

"Please forgive me, Your Highness! For the poor monk, translating Buddhism is the most important thing in his life."

"As for the Great Tang Records of the Western Regions, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of it!" Xuanzang clasped his hands together.

He, Xuanzang, would not give up translating Buddhist scriptures just to please a crown prince. Whether the Tang Dynasty could conduct cultural exchanges with other countries in the Western Regions was a matter for the imperial court and had nothing to do with him.

However, translating Buddhist scriptures is the most important thing he has to do as a monk. No matter what happens, translating Buddhist scriptures is always the first priority.

If you have time, it is not impossible to help.

"The widow naturally knows the importance of translating Buddhist scriptures for mages, and you don't have to write this Tang Dynasty Story of the Western Regions yourself."

"The mage can completely dictate, and it is also possible for other people to write the Great Tang Dynasty Records of the Western Regions." Li Chengqian laughed.

"That's true, His Royal Highness is still thoughtful." Xuanzang said, he was preoccupied with translating the scriptures, but he didn't expect to ask someone to do it for him.

"The mage came to visit the widow this time, what is the so-called?" Li Chengqian asked.

In fact, there is no need to ask, Li Chengqian can also guess that Xuanzang came to visit him, the crown prince, mostly because of the problem of spreading Buddhism.

Xuanzang would mention this matter without Li Chengqian asking, after all, he made a special trip just for this matter.

If it wasn't for the prince pulling him to ask questions as soon as he came in, this would be the first thing he would say.

"I came to see His Highness this time! I hope His Highness and the imperial court can make it convenient for the poor monk to translate Buddhist scriptures, promote Buddhism, and save all sentient beings." Xuanzang said.

He understood the imperial court's attitude towards Buddhism in his heart. Although the ban had been lifted now, it did not exclude Buddhism as it did in the early years of Zhenguan.

Compared with more than ten years ago, the imperial court has treated too many monk disciples much better.

This time Xuanzang did not ask the imperial court to support him, but he also hoped that the imperial court would not stop them from promoting Buddhism.

"These are all problems. It is a matter of great merit that a mage can promote Buddhism and lead people to be good. Naturally, the widow will not stop it."

"It's just where the master intends to translate Buddhist scriptures, and where will he open an altar to teach the Dharma?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian will neither support nor oppose religious preaching. As long as they do not commit crimes and can really lead people to be good, he will still agree to their preaching.

As for how to do it, there must be regulations on this point. It is absolutely not allowed for these monks not to pay taxes, occupy any land, or even affect the stability and development of society, etc., are absolutely not allowed.

Monks are no different, so they must be the same as ordinary people, whether they should pay taxes or pay taxes.

The size and number of monasteries must be strictly controlled. The so-called Buddhism can be studied as a kind of culture.

But it must not be used as a tool for monks to disrupt society and confuse the public with evil words. This is absolutely not allowed.

As for the extermination of Buddha, Li Chengqian had also considered that even if he exterminated all the Buddhas, he could guarantee that Buddhism would not appear in his life.

Can that guarantee that Buddhism will not appear for thousands of years?

Even if you destroy the Buddha now, won’t there be Buddhism in the future after a hundred years?

As long as the source of Buddhism is still there, one day, Buddhism will still take root in this land.

At that time, if there are a few more emperors who believe in Buddhism, Buddhism will be able to develop and grow overnight.

Since it is impossible to eliminate them, why not firmly control them in your own hands and use them for your own use is not better.

"The poor monk wants to translate Buddhist scriptures in the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain. The environment is quiet and quiet, and it is a good place to translate Buddhist scriptures." Xuanzang said.

"Songshan Shaolin Temple is indeed a good place, but I think the mage should not be too far away from Chang'an."

"It's best to stay in Chang'an, so that after the emperor comes back, he can summon the mage, and the mage can come nearby." Li Chengqian said.

"What Your Highness said is true! That poor monk translated Buddhist scriptures in Chang'an, but I don't know where the poor monk should go to?" Xuanzang said, as long as it doesn't affect his translation of Buddhist scriptures, there is actually no big difference between Chang'an and Luoyang.

Daxingshan Temple is a royal Buddhist temple, where dignitaries often come and go, so it is not a good place to translate Buddhist scriptures.

He didn't know much about Chang'an, and he didn't know which temple to go to at the moment.

"I think the Hongfu Temple is not bad! The master went to live in the Hongfu Temple for a long time." Li Chengqian said.

"The poor monk will follow His Highness's arrangement," Xuanzang said.

"Well, it's settled like this. The mage will stay in Chang'an and go to Hongfu Temple to live and translate Buddhist scriptures for a long time. The mage must be tired today, so this is the end of today's conversation."

"The mage will go back first, and if we are free some other day, we will go to Hongfu Temple to disturb you!" Li Chengqian said, saying this to pave the way for him to go to Hongfu Temple in the future.

He was going to Hongfu Temple for no other reason, and it was not to gain momentum for Xuanzang. He was going for Xuanzang's disciple, Bianji.

He wants to see what real ability this monk Bianji has to capture the heart of Princess Gaoyang.

You must know that Princess Gao Yang is very favored in front of Li Er, she has always been pampered and indulged, and her vision is also very high.

Ordinary people really can't get into her eyes, isn't Fang Yiai the best proof, otherwise Princess Gao Yang wouldn't have put a hat on Fang Yiai's head.

It was because of Princess Gao Yang that she never looked at Fang Yiai directly, even if Fang Yiai was the prime minister's son, it was useless.

But then again, Fang Yiai really doesn't have much talent.

Fang Xuanling's several sons are worse than the other.

Fang Yiai can be regarded as the most famous of Fang Xuanling's four sons, and it was because of Princess Gao Yang's derailment that he was able to surpass his three brothers in reputation.

Otherwise, Fang Yiai is nothing more than a little transparent, who still remembers him as an inconspicuous captain-in-law.

"Farewell, poor monk!" Xuanzang got up, put his palms together in salute, and retreated.

After Xuanzang left the East Palace, he first went to Daxingshan Temple, where his disciples and scriptures were still in Daxingshan Temple.

He wanted to take them all to Hongfu Temple, where the crown prince arranged for them to live.

After Xuanzang left, Li Chengqian was still wondering if he would go to see Xuanzang in two days, and take a look at Bianji, Princess Gaoyang's lover, by the way.

Ok!This is a good opportunity!

It's just, do you want to take Gao Yang to Hongfu Temple by the way, so that Gao Yang and Bianji can meet each other.

Since then both fell in love!unstoppable!
Then, he took the debate machine for his own use, which might be of great use in dealing with monks in the future.

Besides, he, Li Chengqian, was helping Bianji and Princess Gaoyang, so that one would not become a ghost under the knife and the other would become a resentful wife.

This is good for both of them!
