Chapter 1724

"So how can it be bitter to worship your faith?" Bai Shan said, "I heard that the monks of Huguo Temple rent the Buddha fields to the people to cultivate. They don't cultivate themselves. They are monks and don't have to pay taxes. In other words, they drink and peck all for the support of the believers. What they eat and wear to reduce suffering is not for them, but for the Bodhisattva behind them."

The emperor was stunned and said, "aren't they the incarnations of Bodhisattvas in this world?"

"There are too many incarnations, isn't it necessarily?" Bai Shan asked, "Your Majesty can't tell whether they are incarnations. How can they tell if there are so many stupid people in the world? If they are not incarnations, how does your majesty know that they are doing the Dharma of the Bodhisattva? "

The emperor came back and looked at them suspiciously, "you don't like Buddha, but you like Tao more?"

Bai Shan and man Bao shook their heads together.

Man Bao said, "although I read Taoist Scriptures more, it's not that I don't read Buddhist scriptures."

Bai Shan can't admit it, or it will become a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. This is not his original intention. He said: "Your Majesty, whether it's Buddhism or Taoism, like Confucianism, Legalism and Mohism, they are just a kind of cognition of governing the world and why people are human. Ordinary people can speak from one family, such as Confucius offering wine. Although they read all the words of a hundred schools, they respect Confucianism more; For another example, the old Tang Shangshu, although also learned from hundreds of schools, believed more in Legalists; Our husband is more inclined to Taoism. "

"But your majesty is different. You are the first of all the people. The people all over the world will only follow your faith. You believe in Buddhism, so the Buddhist temple is in full bloom, and the Huguo temple has become the largest temple in the world. This should not be."

The emperor said, "in the end, I don't even have my own preferences?"

Bai Shan knew he wouldn't do anything to him, so he said bluntly, "who makes you an emperor and wants to be a wise king for thousands of years? If you want to get something, you must give something. "

The emperor frowned.

Man Bao looked puzzled. "What's the difficulty? Anyway, there is not really a god Buddha in the world. If someone told me that I want to be the first doctor for thousands of years, I can't go to worship the Supreme Master. I must go to worship. Your majesty, if you really like Bodhisattva, you can worship quietly in your own room."

People:

The emperor asked angrily, "how do you know there is no god Buddha in the world?"

Man Bao asked, "even if there is, what can the god Buddha do for us?"

She said, "the suffering of the world has never stopped. The people have to walk out step by step. God and Buddha can't move forward for us, so what's the difference? As long as we don't forget our ancestors' aspirations. "

Man Bao has seen the history books of that world from the encyclopedia. The development of history never depends on theology, but on people's development bit by bit.

Or in the form of war, or in other forms of competition in the development, anyway, have never seen a miracle.

Bai Shan has read most of the books man Bao brought out of the space. He has always regarded those books as strange stories before, but the more he reads, the more he thinks.

Sometimes he can't help but quietly ask man Bao, "why does uncle Zhou's book make us not believe in ghosts and gods?"

Man Bao was tangled up. Bai Shan found out his reason, "because there are few ghosts and gods in the world, or because ghosts and gods can not affect mortals?"

"Yes," Bai Shanzi said, "if ghosts and gods can affect our world, how can the king of Yizhou be safe after killing so many people? We have to sue the imperial court and expose it before we fall into law."

Moreover, he is so big that he has never seen a second ghost except uncle Zhou.

And uncle Zhou, as such a powerful ghost, seems not to affect the third person except talking to man Bao. Let alone him, no one else in the old Zhou family can see him and feel him.

Therefore, Bai Shan was confident at this time. He hoped that the emperor would not show his likes and dislikes and pursue Buddhism and Taoism.

The emperor was not very happy, so he turned his head and said to the prince, "do you hear that as a king, don't have your own likes and dislikes. Don't go hunting if you have nothing. I heard that you still want the southern kingdom to offer elephants to you?"

The prince suffered an impeccable disaster. After turning his head and looking at Bai Shan and Zhou man, he said, "my son's minister heard that Nanman's elephant soldiers are very powerful, so he wants to see how magnificent the elephant is and how it is compared to a thousand mile horse." The emperor snorted, "it costs a lot to get an elephant from Nanman to Beijing. As a prince, how can you do such extravagant things? Don't send anyone."

Zhao Guogong and others immediately opened the topic, "aren't we talking about disaster relief?"

The Emperor didn't want to go to the Huguo temple at the moment, so he directly sent his spleen and airway: "let the county magistrate of Chang'an County and Wannian county do it, let the Treasury, forget it, let's go out of the private Treasury, just pray for the little emperor and grandson."

He is a little depressed now and doesn't want to see those ministers again for the time being.

Duke Zhao and Duke PI breathed a sigh of relief, and then said they were willing to follow his majesty. They directly promised 900 stone grain to pray for the little emperor and grandson. Naturally, they had to take an auspicious number.

Seeing that the topic was torn away, the prince also breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly stared at Bai Shan and Zhou man. What Buddhism and Taoism do you talk about in a good day?

Man Bao and Bai Shan feel that the two princes are really rich.

The emperor felt the same way, so he exhaled and was happy again.

Having had enough to eat and drink, the crown princess had gone back to the house with the child. The crown prince sent his uncle and father-in-law out, and then came back to see off his father.

The emperor did not move, but asked the fifth prince to lead Mingda Changyu to send the queen back to the Tai Chi hall first.

Man Bao and Bai Shan, who were also left behind, stood in the corner with their small heads down, as if they had done something wrong.

The emperor sat at his desk writing and drawing. After writing a word for his newborn grandson, he looked up at them. He thought they had enough air, so he put down his pen and said, "come forward."

They came forward together.

The emperor asked, "do you know what's wrong?"

Man Bao grabbed his finger and said, "you know, we shouldn't mention these things at this time. Today is to wash three for the little emperor and grandson. It's a disappointment."

The emperor nodded slightly.

Bai Shan added: "we shouldn't deny your majesty face. Even if we advise, we should talk privately afterwards. We shouldn't say your Majesty in front of everyone."

The emperor nodded slightly, satisfied, and realized that face was enough, so he turned and asked the prince who sent the man back, "I heard there were no two people in your Palace last night?"

The smile on the prince's face was a meal, and then bowed his head to report: "yes, there are no two waiters."

He explained: "the night the princess launched, Zhou man's needle bag was moved."

The expression on the emperor's face was also put away and asked, "can you find the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"No."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "give it to Yin Li to investigate the case. Jingzhao house is better than you."
