"The MOH family came out!"
When at a loss about what to do, when every act and every move was made, almost all eyes were focused on every move, and even a look was not allowed. Until the carriage went away, a crowd of eyes looked at each other, and could not believe the scene they had seen.
"Talking and laughing, there is no tearing face!"
"Is it a deal?"
………………………………
One by one, people in the heart of the eye speculated that they had sent their own news to their master.
"Could it be that the Buddhists really accept Mohist Zi's idea of saving the Buddha!"
Everyone who received the news couldn't help but be in an uproar. After all, although Mohist Zi's idea of saving the Buddha has some truth, how can Buddhists be willing to take the hoop curse personally.
"Continue to explore, we must know the contents of the negotiations of the Buddhist temple in the temple of the dead." many people continue to give orders to the eyeliner.
In a moment, a crowd of Eyeliner once again rushed to the temple of the dead, and only three of Mohist side could not break it. The Buddhist family is full of monks. How can the Buddhist family be willing to bind their hands and feet? Many monks must be dissatisfied. In fact, it is the best place to inquire about the news.
In the Mo mansion,
"Young master, come out of Wangji temple!" Mo Er rushed into the gate of Mo mansion and shouted loudly.
"Really, that's great!" fuber patted his chest hard, which relieved him.
"Has Merton been wronged?" Princess Changle came and asked anxiously.
Mo Er touched his head, thought and said, "I don't think so. Master Huiyuan personally sent the young master to the gate of the temple. It seems that he didn't turn his face."
"What about Merton?" Princess Changle asked with a sigh of relief.
Mo Er replied, "the young master boarded the carriage and went to the palace to recover his life. He was worried about the princess. Only then did he let Xiao come back to report."
Princess Changle nodded, turned her head, waved to the gathered Mohist children and said, "it's all scattered. What should I do?"
"Yes, ma'am!" all the Mohist children immediately dispersed, completely unable to see the excitement of rushing into the Wangji temple to save the young master.
In the palace.
Li Shimin looked at the intelligence collected from Hu merchants in the western market about the extreme western country, Dashi and Tianzhu. He couldn't help but feel cool all over and happy.
In China, the reason why imperial power is still supreme is that in addition to Taoism's emphasis on quiet and inaction, the contributions of all schools of thought are also indispensable. Although Taoism has a deep-rooted position in Chinese traditional religion, it is one of all schools of thought after all, and can not be dominated by one.
However, foreign Buddhists, because of their shallow background and rapid development, were attacked twice by Erwu to put out the hidden dangers. Today, Merton's task is to completely extinguish the hidden danger of theocracy from the bud, which can't help but make him careless.
"Your Majesty, marquis Mo has come out of Wangji temple and is on his way to the palace." pound went into the hall and bowed down to report.
Li Shimin suddenly left and lost his voice: "have you ever talked about it?"
This is what he is most concerned about. If it is not negotiated, I'm afraid he will be cursed as ungrateful and operate on Buddhism.
"Wei Chen did not fail his mission." with his voice, Merton stepped into the hall.
"The Buddhist family really agreed?" Li Shimin said strangely. He never thought it would be so smooth.
Merton Lang said: "the Buddhist family is well aware of the great righteousness and the good intentions of his majesty. After Wei Chen conveyed his Majesty's painstaking efforts to the Buddhist family, the Buddhist family deeply blamed itself. At present, the Buddhist family decided to close the temple and reflect on itself. Tomorrow morning, I will ask your majesty for approval."
Li Shimin couldn't help but take a deep look at Merton. If it was really as easy as Merton said, it wouldn't take so much time to return.
"Don't laugh, I want to know everything." Merton scolded.
Merton angrily reported all his experiences to Li Shimin. When he said about the Dudie system, Li Shimin couldn't help but exclaim: "500000 Dudie!"
Li Shimin was not surprised by this figure. According to Merton's calculation method, the 500000 Dudie is much less than the 2 million monks and nuns in the period of two Wu exterminating the Buddha, which is still a huge number.
Merton shook his head and said, "it's not important to have 500000 monks and nuns. What's important is the Dudie system."
"Dudie!" Li Shimin frowned at Merton.
Merton nodded solemnly: "Dudie is the most important step for the royal power to control the divine power. If any believer wants to become a monk, he must obtain Dudie. In fact, there are many Buddhist monks and few nuns. If the court divides one of the 500000 Dudie into two and half of the monks and nuns, he can further control the number of Buddhists. If the court still thinks that there are too many monks and nuns, it can increase the difficulty of obtaining Dudie In this way, there will be no disaster of two martial arts, and the hidden dangers of Buddhism can be eliminated. All the initiative lies in the hands of the imperial court. "
Li Shimin couldn't help looking at Merton with appreciation. Lang said, "my Tang Dynasty embraces all rivers. As long as Buddhism does not affect the national economy and the people's livelihood, I will not interfere with Buddhism."
"Your Majesty is wise." Merton quickly flattered.
This time, Li Shimin accepted it with peace of mind. He did it. Not only can Buddhism and Mohism develop so rapidly, but also can't do without Li Shimin's care.
"Give up duty-free Temple field!"
"Make up for the lost!"
………………………………
"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Li Shimin couldn't help but praise Merton's narration. In this confrontation, the wisdom of Mohism and Buddhism was incisively and vividly expressed.
The Mohist School persuaded the Buddhist family with the story of making up for the lost sheep. The Buddhist family was greatly touched, and even gave up the tax exemption privilege of the Buddhist family directly to make up for the most criticized shortcomings of the Buddhist family. The wisdom of the Mohist School and the Buddhist School clashed with each other and collided with a brilliant spark of wisdom.
However, this is not over yet. Bodhi Xie, with the opposite ideas of master Shenxiu and Merton, surprised Li Shimin. The love of Buddha Ananda's stone bridge made people cry. A piece of rules and commandments of Mohist school taught the profound meaning of Buddhist practice.
"It's really not a false name for Buddhism to flourish in the world!" Li Shimin sighed.
Merton nodded solemnly, but from the perspective of scriptures, the quality and quantity of Buddhism can be said to be the best religion in the world. Coupled with its profound Zen theory, it is just in line with the philosophy of Chinese culture. Only then can it spread rapidly in the Central Plains.
"I can help Buddhists to get Tianzhu scriptures," Li Shimin said solemnly. Since the Buddhism took the initiative to make concessions, he naturally can't be stingy. In addition, Xuanzang's journey to the West touched him deeply. It's better to block than sparse. Since the Buddhism is willing, the imperial court can just transfer the focus of Buddhism to the Scriptures.
As Merton said, when these scriptures are transmitted to the Tang Dynasty and translated into Chinese characters, they can take the opportunity to sinicize Buddhism and make Buddhism take the initiative to adapt to Chinese culture.
Merton nodded solemnly: "in fact, even without Weichen, Buddhism has begun the trend of Sinicization."
"Seriously?" Li Shimin said in surprise.
Merton solemnly nodded and said, "Shaolin's Zen is a new school of Buddhism, but it advocates self-reliance and meditation and meditation, which is very in line with Chinese culture. It is just that your majesty has ties with Shaolin. If you take the opportunity to establish the status of Shaolin's Zen, you can repay the kindness, expand the influence of Zen in Buddhism and kill two birds with one stone."
"Zen!" Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, suddenly turned his head and asked, "in your opinion, what is the most appropriate reward?"
Merton thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty has given thousands of mu of good land to Shaolin. Naturally, there is no need to reward property. Moreover, your majesty once wrote the inscription of the first village in the world, which makes the Mojia village think it is supreme glory. Why does your majesty deliberately test the minister?"
"The best village in the world!" Li Shimin thought of his favorite work. He couldn't help but look proud. He saved a lot of rewards.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately knew what he should do - inscription.
It's just that the first temple in the world has long been decided. It's the White Horse Temple in Luoyang. Otherwise, Li Shimin won't have to think hard.
At that moment, Li Shimin thought for a moment, picked up a pen and paper, raised his big hand, waved a brush, and the three words jumped onto the paper.
"Shaolin Temple!"
There is no need for too many titles. As long as it is written by Li Shimin, it is enough to make Shaolin the first Buddhist temple in the world.
