Chapter 80

(Happy Double Ninth Festival, book friends!)

Standing in front of Daihai Temple, Lingyun suddenly felt like everyone was drunk and I was awake alone.

Ling Yun finally got off the boat and brought Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Jingde and others to come. Of course, he just found an excuse that he had admired the name of Daihai Temple for a long time, saying that he would come to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, burn a few incense sticks, and offer some incense oil. Everyone changed clothes on the boat, took off their armor and put down their weapons. Ling Yun, like everyone else, had a square scarf in blue shirt and a long sword hanging on his waist, and the style of a young master in a family traveling. Gao Mingyue and the girls were going ashore even if they were alive, but they were unwilling to wear it. They just tied their hair and dressed up as men. Like Ling Yun and the others, they looked like several handsome young masters.

Daihai Temple in early summer is between Xingyang City and the Bian River. Although Daihai Temple has not been expanded and renamed Dahai Temple by Li Shimin and Yuchi Gong at this time, it is still one of the largest temples in a hundred miles in Xingyang, and its incense is very popular. Among the Buddhist Bodhisattvas, Guanyin can be regarded as a Bodhisattva with a very famous incense among the people. Her temple was originally in Putuo, the Daihai Temple was said to be the temporary temple when Guanyin went north to preach the Dharma. Therefore, for many Guanyin believers, this is a holy place.

Wild flowers are blooming and willows are swaying. There are fertile and fertile fields everywhere in front of the temple. These are all the fields of the temple, but the people who farm are not monks. The monks own a lot of fields, but they don’t need to cultivate themselves. Their fields are all handed over to farmers who actively sell themselves and like to farm. They just need to collect rent. They don’t even need to pay rent to the court. Looking at the vastness of Daihai Temple, you can know that these monks are living a good life.

There are many people burning incense in the temple, and there are also many monks receiving and chanting scriptures. But not all of these bald monks are real monks. Only a few of them have obtained certificates of sacrificial certificates issued by the court to allow them to become monks, and most of them are actually illegal monks who do not have official certificates.

After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism flourished, and Buddhist temples were everywhere. Buddhist temples also occupied a large number of fertile land and saved money. In the late Northern Wei Dynasty, the number of Buddhists was more than 2 million, and the temples were more than 30,000 temples, accounting for one-fifth of the population of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty finally destroyed Buddhism. Not long after, when Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou ruled, Guanzhong was in power, and the people were famined and drought, so the monks of the temple used the famine to release usury. Some monks in the temple hid weapons to rebel. In the end, Emperor Wu of Zhou ordered the destruction of Buddhism, which gave a nearly devastating blow to Buddhism.

Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism on a large scale twice, but at this time, Buddhism was still prosperous. This is also related to the fact that when his son Yang Jian worshipped Buddhism, Yang Jian was raised by nuns in temples since he was a child, and was naturally close to Buddhism. Under his admiration, Buddhism flourished again.

"These monks are all fat and have a very relaxed life." Xu Gai riding a horse and chuckled. No one understands the wealth of these Buddhist temples better than Xu Gai's local tyrants. They occupy the vast mountains and have all the good land, and have a large amount of land. They also store a large number of farmers to cultivate the temples. Many of the big temples also have many monks. Many times, the richest man in a state like Xu Gai and the powerful man in a land dare not offend these bald people rashly. Although most temples are very rich, they are still kind and will help the people when they encounter famine. But there are many temples, but they are greedy villains. When they encounter disasters, they take the opportunity to lend money to usury and take the opportunity to occupy the land.

There is no reason for the Three Martial Arts and One Sect to destroy Buddhism in history.

"If you envy them, the fifth brother can also cut off the three thousand worries and become a monk." Ling Yun said with a smile.

"I don't want to let someone shave his hair and become a monk. I can't drink and eat meat or marry a wife. What's the point!" Xu Gai touched his hair and said.

"You can't marry a wife, you can find a nun!" Shan Xiongxin laughed. These powerful men saw very thoroughly about the monks and had no fear.

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

In the laughter, Ling Yun was a little confused and distracted.

He looked at Daihai Temple, which was still very prosperous and incense-prone, and was thinking about the protagonists of the battle.

Zhang Xutuo, a peerless general in the late Sui Dynasty, should he be? He tried hard to recall the memories in his mind. Well, Zhang Xutuo should be only in his thirties at this time. He was from Henan. It seems that in February last year, the governor of Kunquzhou in southwest and the leader of the Qiang tribe. He raised his troops to fight against the Sui Dynasty. Zhang Xutuo followed Shi Wansui, the general manager of the army, to go to the forefront. However, he seemed to be just a small officer under the tent of the famous general Shi Wansui. It seemed that the rebellion was very smooth. Zhang Xutuo made many military achievements. When he came back, he was awarded three hundred pieces of gifts. Yitong was the first level of the honorary officials, and his full name was Yitong Sansi, and his next level was the Grand Commander. The Grand Commander was only two hundred people, so Yitong was actually not of a high level, so he only managed a middle-level officer with less than a thousand people.

However, Zhang Xutuo's luck was not very good. After Shi Wansui quelled the rebellion last year, he accepted many treasures from the rebel leader. As a result, King Yang Xiu of Shu knew that Yang Xiu blackmailed Shi Wansui, but Shi Wansui simply threw the batch of treasures into the river. Yang Xiu was disappointed and angrily joined Shi Longsui to the court. Shi Longsui was also unlucky. He had a great victory, and Yang Jian had made him the title of Shangzhu Kingdom. In order to win him over, Yang Guang praised him in front of the emperor, making Yang Jian ready.

Let Shi Wansui go to Yangzhou to take charge of the military of the King of Jin's Mansion, and be responsible for assisting Yang Guang in the management of the military of the 44 prefectures of Jianghuai. Who knew that Yang Xiu sued Shi Wansui, and the rebel leader who had just been surrendered there? He rebelled again. Yang Jian was furious. As a general, Shi Wansui captured the rebel leader, but he took a bribe and released him. Now he was rebellious. Shi Wansui was about to be cut off Shi Wansui in one go, but Yang Guang and others came forward to say a lot of good things. Shi Wansui changed his hand and became a commoner.

Zhang Xutuo is a general under Shi Wansui's account. He is held accountable and is quite good at handling him, but he is temporarily idle.

In history, this destruction lasted for six or seven years. It was not until Yang Guang ascended the throne and Yang Liang rebelled that Zhang Xutuo sent troops to quell the rebellion with Yang Su. Because of these outstanding performances, they finally got used again.

Now, Zhang Xutuo is probably staying at his home in Chang'an and is free every day, so he can only practice martial arts to pass his life.

As for Li Mi, the other protagonist of the Battle of Dahai Temple, well, his father was his superior, Li Kuan, who had just come to Hu'er before, and Li Mi had just attacked the title of Duke of Pushan County, but he was only sixteen years old at this time and was not doing anything. He had to wait a few more years before Yang Guang became the crown prince, Li Mi would enter the East Palace to be a guard. Then one day, seeing Li Mi's thin and ugly appearance, Yang Guang directly asked Yuwen Shu to fire him and get out.

Well, Yuchi Gong, who will transform Dahai Temple in the future, will follow him at this time, but will become his adopted son.

Li Shimin, he had just emerged from his mother's stomach this year and was still breastfeeding at this time. Li Yuan, the future Emperor Gaozu of Tang, well, Li Yuan was prepared for Qianniu at this time, and was the guard of Yang Jian's imperial sword. It would not take until almost ten years later, after Yang Guang ascended the throne and withdrew from the prefecture to establish a county, Li Yuan would become the prefect of Xingyang County.

Ling Yun and his group were furious and angry. They knew at a glance that they had a great background. The monk who was best at watching clothes and looked at people immediately floated up and went up to see him.

Looking at the fat head and smooth appearance of Zhike Monk, Ling Yun suddenly lost the interest of entering the temple. The reason why Dahai Temple made him admire it was because it was the place where heroes fought for the decisive battle. But now, the heroes had not yet come out of the mountain, and there was only a group of greedy monks here. He couldn't help but feel excited. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a young man riding a cow in front of the temple. The young man was holding a book in his hand, and he was fascinated by reading it. The black buffalo slowly moved forward with a big belly, leisurely, and there was a book bag hanging on its curved horns.

Judging from the boy's appearance, he might be like a 16-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eight-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-eye-ey

A person's name suddenly popped up in Ling Yun's mind, Li Mi, a book on Niujiao!

Historical records: Yang Guang asked Yuwen Shu to fire Li Mi. Yuwen Shu said very much at that time, and did not fire him directly. Instead, he said that Li Mi was such a person, and he would have a great future in the future and should not be just a guard. Li Mi was moved by Yuwen Shu's words, and indeed he voluntarily resigned and left. After resigning, Li Mi began to study and review, preparing to join the most famous Bao Grand Secretary at that time. At that time, Li Mi worked very hard at studying, and even sat on the back of a cow reading, and even hung his schoolbag on the horns of a cow. One day, his appearance was seen by Yang Su, and Yang Su was very amazed at this. Lord.

He stopped Li Mi and chatted with him for a long time, and then decided that Li Mi would become a great man in the future. He took the initiative to make friends, and even brought him home to introduce him to his son Yang Xuangan, and asked them to be friends. Yang Su's history books uploaded that he once looked at three young people with admiration, namely Li Jing, Feng Deyi and Li Mi. Later facts proved that Yang Su's vision was indeed very vicious. He helped Yang Guang, but Yang Guang won the throne of the crown prince and then became emperor. He was optimistic about Li Jing and the three of them. Later, Li Jing and Feng Deyi became prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing even became a generation of war gods. Li Mi was also amazing, and he was a famous hero at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

This person is about the same age as Li Mi, with a somewhat similar appearance. Is it really Li Mi? But Li Mi should be in Daxing Capital City, and the person he meets should be Yang Su. Why did he appear here? If he is not Li Mi, who is he?

Ling Yun ignored the chatter of the monk, turned around and left. Shan Xiongxin and others also turned their heads together. Suddenly, only the bald monk was left in front of the mountain gate for no reason. He didn't know what he said wrongly, and offended such a group of wealthy young men.

Ling Yun slapped the horse and caught up with the young man riding a cow. The old cow was blocked and was not panicked. He just stopped and looked up at Ling Yun, then mooed.

The ox cries woke up the young man who was immersed in the book. The young man raised his head and took his eyes back from the book. He looked at Ling Yun who was blocking the road, showing a puzzled expression.

"Are you Li Mi?" Ling Yun straight to the point.

The boy on the cow's back shook his head and smiled, "This young man has recognized the wrong person, and it's not Li Mi..."

Ling Yun also smiled and shook his head. He really recognized the wrong person. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the boy say next: "Wei Zheng, Julu, Hebei."

Ling Yun, who was about to turn around, was stunned there, and looked at the boy up and down several times, "You said you are Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng, Julu, Hebei?"

The boy on the cow's back was even more surprised than Ling Yun, "How does this young man know the following words?"

Ling Yun smiled. This Wei Zheng was indeed that Wei Zheng!
