Chapter 243: Whitewashing

Jin Yang's letter to Li Chengqian stopped while writing.

"Husband, since you want to meddle in this matter, and you happen to have a conflict with the monks of Fahua Temple, it is better for these things to be presented to your father by your husband." Jin Yang said: "Today's Zhuangzi matter to Chang'an, the reputation of the husband must have an impact, the people of the Yushitai will not be so indifferent, want to come to the early dynasty tomorrow, there must be a dispute, the husband might as well use this controversy, to give the father a reason to raid the temple, not only that, the husband in the Zhuangzi and the Fahua Temple dispute will also be covered by this matter, for the reputation of the husband, the event is a good thing." ”

According to what Jin Yang said, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, one is to really find out the details of these temples, and then it is to clear up some bad influences for Xuan Shijing, not only to wash it away, but also to do it beautifully, and Xuan Shijing's reputation in the court will go to a higher level.

Or how can I say that it is a good thing to have a good wife.

Xuan Shijing pondered for a while, and felt that Jinyang's words were also feasible, this matter was left to Li Chengqian to do, and the result was not necessarily the result of his imagination.

"In this case, I will go to the morning court tomorrow, that is to say, this evening, I will go back to Chang'an." Xuan Shijing said helplessly.

"Husband has had a hard trip." Jin Yang said: "This matter is over, basically there is nothing to be able to work for, the Chinese New Year is approaching, the DPRK and China will begin to receive envoys from all directions, and the rest of the things, except for the military and political matters that need to be dealt with urgently, must be pushed back or directly dealt with by the three provinces or the East Palace." ”

In other words, if this matter of Buddhism is dealt with as soon as possible, I don't know how long it will be delayed, and it will have to be next year at the earliest, right?

And the matter of Buddhism, only the East Palace and the three provinces can't handle it.

The so-called gun shoots the first bird, and the Buddhist temple in Chang'an City has become the first bird in Chang'an City in the past two years.

Why is the Daomen so low-key? Because the Taoist priests who are a little famous in the Taoist gate basically will not sit in the Taoist temple and show their heads to fool the people, such as Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, the two of them have official positions in the Taishi Bureau, Yuan Tiangang has been running for the Daomen, but his teammates are indifferent by nature, Li Chunfeng is watching the stars on the stargazing platform all day long, deducing numerology, Sun Simiao is either sitting in the Qianjin Medical Hall or carrying a medicine box with people to travel around, as for Yuan Shoucheng, he simply went to Longxi to live in seclusion.

As for the monk's temple, this master and that master, dressed in a big red robe, sat cross-legged in front of the golden body of the Buddha statue in the main hall of the temple, closed his eyes, knocked on the wooden fish with one hand, and listened to the sound of the merit box.......

Don't look at the monks' superficial hardships, in fact, they are all rich in oil.

If it is a malicious guess, maybe a respected master can have a mistress and an illegitimate child outside, and when the abbot dies, sit and wait for the throne, and then be dug up by the same disciple to dig up the scandal.

Those who have big skills are whitewashed, and those who have smaller skills are waiting to be ruined or something......

At least, from the Wude Nian to the Zhenguan Dynasty to the present, no monk proposed that the temple should be managed by the state, and it was precisely in the imperial court that the regulations for the management of the temple had been issued, and a certain number of ordination documents were given, and the identity certificate was given.

No one has ever put forward the monk temple tax theory, if it is said that the Buddha is beyond the world, then there is no one, because the Buddha itself is a kind of faith, this faith is clean, but the heart of the person, but it is black, the Buddha is beyond the world, what about people? Also super-vulgar? You can also eat or drink, don't you still eat, drink, and sleep, even monks are inevitably vulgar, the monks in these temples are no different from all living beings, why do they have to be more special than ordinary people?

Why does the government give out a certain number of documents to the temple every year? Most of the monks are young and strong men, and they have all gone to become monks, what should they do at home? Who planted the land? Who will feed the elderly? Isn't it selfish to be detached from oneself and completely ignore others? Even treating one's own family members so selfishly, still counting on one-minded compassion for bringing sentient beings?

Who believes this?

Monks are not what anyone wants to be, but in recent years, with the popularity of Buddhism in Chang'an City, many people would rather go against the wishes of the government, even if they can't get the identity documents, they have to go to the temple to be a monk.

There are a lot of this kind of things, the government sees that there are many people involved, and they are not willing to take care of this matter, after all, it is also thankless, in addition to this reason, many dignitaries and dignitaries also have a lot of relationship with the temples of Chang'an City, even the heavenly family prays, will build a pagoda to ask monks to do things and the like, which makes the officials below feel that these temples are not moving.

Since Xuanzang came back, there has been a phenomenon of Buddhism fever in Chang'an City, and Dharma meetings have blossomed everywhere, and it seems that all of a sudden, there are monks everywhere.

If a thing is new, it may make people feel a little good, a little curious, if it is a sense of existence in front of your eyes every day, then the rest is just disgust.

Just like Xuan Shijing treated these monks who ran to Zhuangzi to collect money.

Xuan Shijing should go down to Jinyang to go to the court to clear his name, so in the evening, Chang Le drove Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue to Chang'an City, and Jinyang stayed in the Houfu mansion on Zhuangzi.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very strange, Xuan Shijing looked out of the window 'carelessly', no matter how cold the air outside was, even if his face was red from the cold, he didn't notice it.

And Qin Bingyue lowered her head all the way, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands a little uneasy.

Looking at Qin Bingyue's reaction, I'm afraid that Jin Yang had already told her something, and this Nizi also acquiesced in her heart.

The carriage was bumpy, Xuan Shijing came back to his senses, and then realized that his face was already a little unconscious, so he quickly took his head back, and looked at Qin Bingyue 'inadvertently', only to find that this girl's reaction was a little unusual.

"Ahem." Xuan Shijing coughed dryly twice, and then the topic was opened: "Bingyue, my son can tell you, ...... next spring"

"Hmm." Qin Bingyue's voice was almost imperceptible.

Xuan Shijing was relieved to see this girl's reaction like this, shyness is normal, which shows that Qin Bingyue really has feelings for herself in her heart.
