29 But a wise king.

Every sentence is on point.

Hundreds of people work in a Buddhist temple without even cultivating the land, building temples and temples.

Covers a large area.

But he still reached out for incense money and alms.

If you have hands and feet, why don't you do the work yourself?

No wonder the gods look down on these bald men, it is indeed not conducive to the development of the people.

Li Xiuning continued: Men become monks and women become nuns. Then a good family just breaks up. If this goes on for a long time, will we still be human?

Huasheng Temple in Chang'an.

There were as many as a thousand people, and other temples had hundreds of people.

These are all productivity.

But they don't get married or have children.

He just became a monk.

It is not something that a monk can save by leading people to be good.

Buddhism is good, but it shouldn't confuse people's minds so much.

When Li Shimin heard this, he sighed: But I... I have no choice. Those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have all kinds of dreams and manifestations... People believe in them, but not in me, the Human Emperor.

This problem is easy to solve. This is a method passed down by the gods. Even the Human Emperor can practice it.

Li Xiuning offered something that Li Er could never refuse.

Cultivation to become an immortal.

Moreover, it is a method passed down by the Eternal God.

In an instant, he was attracted by this method.

Is it really okay?

Hmph, my god is an older god than Pangu. He is not comparable to those immortals and Buddhas. You will know after you try it. I will rest in this garden. You can go...

Li Xiuning waved her hand and drove Li Er away.

The latter looked at the jade slip in his hand.

My heart is on fire.

If I practice this method, will I become more terrifying than an immortal?

Although he doubted Li Xiuning's words in his heart.

But I have to say that the shock caused by the Eternal God to Li Er was too great.

What are immortals and Buddhas?

That is a terrifying existence that surpasses the Great God Pangu.

That afternoon, the news was blocked, and no one knew that there was a goddess living in the back garden.

Even Li Xiuning in this world doesn't know.

Night falls.

In Changning Palace.

Li Shimin opened the jade slip and began to meditate and practice. The content inside was very simple.

Just meditate.

“Is God’s law so simple?”

Li Er was a little skeptical, but if he just meditated, he should be fine.

After half a stick of incense.

He entered the state, and his old body, under the training of divine power, returned to its youthful appearance.

Until three hours later.

Li Shimin opened his eyes.

The power in his body made him want to scream in comfort.

An unprecedented sense of pleasure filled my body.

This is God's method. Just one practice has allowed me to break through to the realm of land gods. It is indeed a good thing...

Why can't an emperor live forever?

To put it bluntly, they are just afraid that the emperor will control humanity and subvert the power of immortals and Buddhas!

A sense of pride swelled in Li Shimin's heart.

He was once a martial arts master, but he was stuck in the innate realm and could not enter.

Because once you enter innateness.

His life span will be extended by several decades, which is not allowed by those immortals and Buddhas.

But that's different now.

With the help of the goddess, Li Shimin gained a new life.

Recall the dharma body of the deity.

Li Shimin's heart was filled with heat, and the power within his body immediately disappeared.

In just a short while.

He came to the imperial garden.

Li Shimin clasped his hands in his fists, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said, Li Shimin saw the goddess. I wonder if you fell asleep?

Come in, look at your appearance, you have already practiced the divine method, what is the result?

Wonderful, really wonderful!!

Li Shimin was very excited and looked at Li Xiuning with eyes full of awe.

The latter smiled lightly.

Pointing his finger in the air, a picture appeared in front of Li Shimin's eyes.

Inside are the families of monks in the Tang Dynasty.

It feels good to be a monk and you don't have to take responsibility, but your family is suffering.

Countless people cried in the long night.

Then the scene changed to the people near Guanjiangkou.

People here live and work in peace and contentment.

Although they live a prosperous life, they still perform sacrifices, but they can unite as one in the face of difficulties.

And practice divine magic.

Everyone is a master, and wild animals have become their food and are kept in captivity.

Have you ever seen this scene? This is true peace. How is it compared to the false compassion of Buddha?

The so-called compassion cannot be accomplished by just talking with one mouth. I was wrong...I listened to those people's slander.

Then let those Buddhas feel the power of the Human Emperor. I will protect you here. Even if Guanyin comes, you have to kneel down!

Li Xiuning's voice was full of murderous intent.

As the emperor, Li Er smiled extremely happily.

I have long wanted to avoid being bullied by those immortals and Buddhas, but now I have someone to support me. It feels so good...

The next day.

During the discussion of major political affairs, Li Shimin suddenly said: According to incomplete statistics, there are actually 100,000 monks in our country who are not engaged in production and only ask for property every day. What do you think we should do?

One sentence.

Shocking.

Not long ago, Bodhisattva came to this world.

Give me some pointers.

His Majesty announced the great promotion of Buddhism, and in a short period of time, Buddhism developed so rapidly.

Why have you suddenly changed your mind now?

Yuan Tiangang, standing in the crowd, began to sneer in his heart and was finally about to take action.

The opponent's actions were really fast.

Changsun Wuji stood up and said: What your Majesty said is absolutely true. This monk should be controlled. According to my investigation overnight, many people have a good life at home, but they heard that being a monk can make them full without having to work and just chanting sutras. , so he went to seek refuge in the temple, which would be a disaster in the long run.

But Your Majesty, that Bodhisattva...

The world's affairs should be managed by the world. Do you think that's right, Wei Aiqing?

The black-faced Wei Zheng looked at Li Shimin's indifferent eyes and fell silent for an instant.

Don't look at the fact that he can constantly impeach the emperor.

But my eyesight is good.

In fact, these ministers do not like this Buddhism at all, but His Majesty is happy and the Bodhisattva appears.

Only then will you choose to help.

Now that they have heard His Majesty's determination, they have nothing to fear.

Cheng Yaojin said directly: Your Majesty, what you said has gone deep into my heart. The affairs of the human world should be managed by the human world. Why do you listen to the words of those immortals?

Old Cheng.

Qin Shubao warned, but the other party pretended not to hear.

On this day, the emperor's order was issued in Chang'an City.

Withdrawal of benefits for monks.

Everyone had to pay taxes, and the taxes were heavier than those on merchants.

Some eminent monks were dissatisfied.

He even came to the envoy's door to ask.

977 The result was informed.

“Your temple covers such a large area, has so many monks, and you ask others for money for incense. If you don’t pay taxes, who will?

Do you want those people who don’t have enough to eat to pay taxes?

Either return to secular life and go home to farm, or pay taxes based on the land area! ! !

Fierce words.

It became the last straw that broke Huasheng Temple.

Countless monks wanted to leave, but found that they could not even get out of the city gate.

Oh my god... Whose slander did Emperor Tang listen to? Why was he so cruel to us Buddhists!!!

Yes, we eat fast and chant Buddha's name every day to guide people to do good... It shouldn't be like this.

...

Monks took to the streets.

Trying to win over those compassionate people to stand with him.

As a result, an old man with red and swollen eyes appeared out of nowhere and slapped the child to the ground.

Bah... you bastard, if you hadn't been preaching about the afterlife all day long, my child wouldn't have become a monk. You are comfortable, but have you ever thought about how I will live?

The old man is over fifty.
