Chapter 924: You're Late

His Majesty Li Er in the council hall rubbed the brocade silk in his hand with the book of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and secretly pondered in his heart, this monk will find an opportunity to speak, this meaning is too obvious, want me to help you build a temple? How is this possible? The Buddhist temples have been demolished, and if they are rebuilt, won't it be a slap in the face of the imperial court?

"Master, the Tang Dynasty now belongs to Shaolin and Wutai two most famous, you want to translate the Buddhist scriptures to spread the Dharma, I think that any of these two places are the best places, Chang'an City found out that those Buddhist temples were full of evidence of crimes, so they were demolished for other purposes, and I can't do anything."

Xuanzang is not such a good talker, so he saluted again: "How dare the poor monk bother Your Majesty to bother, as long as Your Majesty is gracious, in Chang'an, the poor monk will be allowed to have a humble room, and the poor monk will have a place to translate Buddhist scriptures and pass them on to the world." ”

Li Er sneered in his heart, how many years have the Buddhist classics fooled the people? Now that the people of Datang are hardworking and wealthy, where do you need Buddhism to help the suffering? If your Buddhism can really save the suffering, I'm afraid that the Tianzhu Kingdom will not be easily defeated by the Tang Dynasty.

"Oh, the mage is not too much, but the mage came back late, since a few years ago after the imperial court made the administrative affairs public, Chang'an except for the palace, all belong to the public administration, although I am the Son of Heaven, I have no right to seek personal gain, the use of every inch of land in Chang'an must be approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if the mage wants to settle here to establish a Buddhist temple to spread the Dharma, I am afraid it is not exempt from vulgarity, I want you to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report and register."

Xuanzang knew that he couldn't get any benefits here, and it would be worth the loss if he continued to entangle, so he saluted and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your advice, the poor monk will go." ”

"The mage has had a lot of hardships along the way, I admire it, and I will take a thousand taels of silver from my private treasury and give it to the mage to make a stand-up entanglement, which can be regarded as my heart."

Xuanzang secretly said in his heart, how can His Majesty the Emperor not see him for more than ten years, as if he has changed a person, he doesn't see the heart of the Buddha at all, and he is stingy? It's full of the spirit of a stock marketer, and he is reluctant to grant me a piece of land, do you want to get some money to send me?

Then Xuanzang went straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Chang'an, a monk walked on the street of Chang'an, quite eye-catching, because Chang'an City has not had a trace of a bald monk for many years, Chang'an believers abound, basically every household at least has a believer in Buddhism, but since many Buddhist temples have been exposed to all kinds of black materials, for a time Chang'an monks have become street rats and everyone shouts and beats, since then Chang'an bald people have disappeared.

At the gate of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Xuanzang explained that he was also given a cold reception, "Chang'an is now an inch of land, and no matter how many outsiders can't get in, although you said that you were from Chang'an back then, but after verification, you are not in the name, and besides, you are a monk, hehe, don't you know?" The monk's reputation in Chang'an is not good, don't say that you want to buy land to build a Buddhist temple, even if you go out to live in a hotel, I'm afraid few inns will take you in. ”

Seeing this situation, Xuanzang was not annoyed, he had already understood the situation when he came, and naturally knew the situation, "Amitabha, the poor monk is an ascetic monk who has been out to practice for many years, and this time he returned to Chang'an to settle down, he got the guidance of His Majesty, and he just came here to register and report under the guidance of His Majesty in the Council Palace, and also gave a thousand taels of silver for the security fee, I don't know if this can approve a place for the poor monk?" ”

If Li Er knew that he was just in the mood to spend money and get into trouble, but he was pulled by others to make a big banner, I don't know if he would be angry and vomit blood.

As soon as these words came out, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs really didn't dare to slack off, this big man who knew His Majesty couldn't afford to be offended, but he just bypassed a bald monk and he couldn't afford it.

"In that case, this mage will wait here, and then I will go and ask my family officials to make a decision."

When it comes to the emperor's affairs, this person directly reported to Du Ruhui, the first big man in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Du Ruhui heard it, okay, Monk Xuanzang came back from the scriptures?

Soon followed his subordinates to meet this young monk who was very popular in Chang'an at that time, and now he is middle-aged when he sees him again.

"Du Ruhui, the secretary of the Ministry of Government and Civil Affairs, is Master Xuanzang who went west to learn scriptures? Since it is a person in Buddhism, Shaolin Wutai is a good place to go, a great monk like a master, I am afraid that he can't ask for these two places, why should he stand alone in Chang'an? ”

"The long-cherished wish of the poor monk is to spread Buddhism all over the Tang Dynasty and overcome all the sufferings in the world.

Du Ruhui does not believe in Buddhism, but since he practiced martial arts, he has practiced Tai Chi all the year round, and he has become closer to Taoism, so he asked directly: "Hehe, I think that the Tang Dynasty was also a holy place for Buddhism, and there were no less than 100 Buddhist temples of all sizes, basically at least one person in every household was a believer in Buddhism. The children of Buddhism have become rats crossing the street, and the Buddhism that the people once believed in has been discarded?

Today, when the Venerable Master threatens to build a Buddhist temple in Chang'an to spread the Dharma, don't you have the slightest scruples about this? ”

Xuanzang's face was not happy or angry, and he said calmly: "The Shura in the world is out of the world, killing all my Buddhist disciples regardless of black and white, but it is just a catastrophe for my Buddhism, and sooner or later there will be retribution."

As for the poor monks who built temples to preach the law, their original intention was not to preach but to guide people to get rid of suffering from goodness and help the world, and it was not related to national law, I don't know what Du Xiang's so-called scruples meant? ”

What a monk with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, Du Ruhui said in his heart, if the Tang Dynasty had not destroyed the Buddha before, I am afraid that today you will become a pillar of Buddhism and become popular all over the country, but unfortunately, you are too late.

"The master has been away for many years, I am afraid that he has long been unfamiliar with the law of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has revised the law a few years ago, the world is not allowed to be lazy and do unwarranted religious beliefs, and those who have the heart to cultivate their hearts and minds to the Buddha must also be over fifty years old before they can become monks, and the rest of the people are not allowed to become monks, but there are violations of the law, regardless of the old and the young, they must be punished.

When the new law was first promulgated, all monks under the age of 50 were forcibly returned to their hometowns to farm.

At the age of a mage, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, it must be vulgar, if not, it is illegal, if I were you, I would immediately surrender myself, otherwise, if you dare to continue to swagger through the market, I am afraid that you will be taken away by Dali Temple in less than half a day. ”

Du Ruhui's words were like a sharp blade, directly inserted into Xuanzang's heart, almost making him squirt old blood, how could this be? Who came up with this bad idea in Datang? On the surface, it is to leave a glimmer of life for Buddhism, but in fact, it is to cut off the Buddhism by the roots.
