Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

There is no doubt that as long as you can destroy the Buddha once, you will do it yourself!

The Tang Dynasty can also completely get rid of the impact of the catastrophe, and the imperial court can also completely survive the severe winter. After all, the property of the Buddhist temple can make Li Shimin's treasury extremely full.

Needless to say about the population other than money, if all the monks, nuns, tenants and slaves of Buddhist temples are registered in the household registration, then as Li You said, at least tens of millions of people will be added, and the fields will also be increased by one or two. Ten million acres is absolutely no problem!

In this way, under the premise that Buddhism itself has been out of control and has become a huge poisonous insect, which is terribly harmful, there are more necessity and reasons to take action against Buddhism.

So what are you waiting for now?

Immediately, Li Shimin stood up and said, "This is a great remark, and I take it for granted!"

Hearing Li Shimin say this, everyone immediately glanced at each other, realizing that the matter might be about to be finalized.

Li Shimin glanced around the court and made the final confirmation.

"But does Aiqing have different opinions?"

Eyes swept all the way, but no one said a word. Even though many people still felt inappropriate in their hearts about the eradication of Buddha and other state affairs, no one would jump out to refute them.

There are also deep reasons for this. First, they are scholars themselves, and they do not say anything, so it would be inappropriate for them to come out to plead for Buddhism.

Second, even if they insist on giving them a classification similar to religion, from the perspective of scholars, they certainly belong to the Confucian side, while Buddhism is only the method of barbarians, not inherent in the Tang Dynasty. This is not the way of the ancestors.

The third is the various harmfulness of Buddhism. Li You has already explained it very clearly. As long as people with normal IQs understand that Buddhism is harmful to the imperial court, wouldn’t it seem to have ulterior motives to oppose it at this time?

So in general, all the officials and officials are basically opposed to Buddhism.

The reason why, under this circumstance, is that most people still disapprove of Li You's extermination of the Buddha because of other reasons, not the love of Buddhism itself.

"Although it is simple to say on the court, there are thousands of Buddhist believers. This is too difficult to solve."

Fang Xuanling looked at Li You and sighed silently in his heart.

He actually felt that the risk of this Buddha-annihilation action was too great. If one was not careful, how many thousands of ordinary people would be angered?

You must know that even among many wealthy and powerful landlord families, there are also many people who are devout Buddhists, and they are all important sources of income for temples.

If His Royal Highness the King of Chu destroys the Buddha like this, wouldn't they all be frying?

But Li You is now Fang Xuanling's boss no matter what, so he doesn't say much.

Not only Fang Xuanling, but many courtiers thought so, Li Jing, Zhang Liang, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, Yu Shinan, Wen Yanbo... Almost all of these ministers who could think a lot frowned slightly...

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a good idea... but it is too difficult, and it is extremely difficult!"

Among them, the most difficult thing to solve is the image of Buddhism in the hearts of the people in the world. It has always been the compassion they advertised. If the court takes action against monks who "have compassion", what will the people of the Tang Dynasty think?

It's just that everyone with discernment now knows that Li Shimin has made up his mind, so everyone can only sigh helplessly and respond in unison.

"My minister agrees!"

"Very good," Li Shimin nodded, "then this time to destroy the Buddha, just..."

While talking, Li Shimin looked around to find someone.

It's just that every civil servant and military general who was seen by Li Shimin hurriedly bowed his head in a guilty conscience and did not dare to look at Li Shimin.

After all, this is a super hot potato. Whoever picks up will be unlucky, and if you are not careful, you may cause a catastrophe. At that time, it will be more than just being scolded by the people for hundreds of years!

Besides, they had no confidence that they could win against Buddhism. This opponent was too perverted and completely different from ordinary enemies.

At this time, a voice that shocked everyone, filled with a sense of righteousness and awe, rang out.

"Father, my son is willing to preside over this operation to destroy the Buddha!"

Everyone looked at Li You, who made 3.3 sounds, in astonishment, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

What?what just happened?

That super lazy His Royal Highness the King of Chu who was dozing every day in the courtroom, how could he be so proactive this time to take up this extremely troublesome matter? !

This is definitely an aberration!

In the end is the distortion of human nature?Or moral decline?

Even Li Shimin looked at Li You suspiciously.

"Yang Jie, this kid... I'm so proactive this time, I'm afraid there's some fraud! Is there something tricky behind this?"

Especially seeing Li You's heroic sacrifice expression full of "I don't go to hell who will go to hell", Li Shimin immediately felt that something was wrong! .

Chapter 719 His Highness is really a role model for my generation! (Second more)

Does your boy have such noble sentiments! ?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was actually a little worried about gains and losses.

Originally, after seeing the situation just now, Li Shimin also understood that it was difficult to find someone to take on this responsibility, and was thinking about how to convince Li You to take over.

Unexpectedly, Li You was completely unexpected, and uncharacteristically took the initiative to stand up, which made Li Shimin hesitant. Should Li You preside over the extinction of the Buddha?

I always feel like I'm being tricked? !

"Yangjie, I know that you are dedicated to the people, but this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Li Shimin squinted at him, do you really think I'm using it so easily?

"Why should the father hesitate?"
