Taking another sip of tea, Li Chen said calmly: "This law is implemented in the laws of the Qin Empire. The whole is only a hundred words, but it is like a tightening curse that prevents the two gates of Buddhism and Taoism from ever coming back.
Chao Ding Sheng, Master, are you here to ask me to open a road for you to walk on?"
Li Chen said it straight to the point, and the old monk responded simply and directly.
"Exactly."
Li Chen laughed and said: "The attitude is very straightforward and there is no arrogance. This is good, but why does Master think that you can let me change the ancestral rules for you?"
"To be honest with you, I believe that this law drawn up by Taizu himself is actually very wonderful. It is one of the manifestations of Taizu's political wisdom and talent at that time. Such a law will reduce the unknown to future generations.
How much trouble, now the master wants to change it, how easy is it?"
The old monk was calm and calm, and said: "The masters of the past generations have been working hard to promote Buddhism. As His Highness said, it has been more than 360 years and has never succeeded. This shows how difficult it is, so I am so poor.
Even monks are not completely sure."
"Your Highness is a dragon among men. He has extraordinary wisdom and is often deceived, tempted and deceived. Firstly, it is not in line with the poor monk's original intention, and secondly, it is useless to Your Highness. Therefore, the poor monk has never thought of using these methods. He only hopes that Your Highness will have a predestined relationship with the Buddha.
I also have a heart of compassion for all the suffering in the world, so that all sentient beings can find someone to take refuge in when they are worried."
Li Chen said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Master said this, if I don't agree, it means that I have no compassion, and it means that the brilliant hearts of all sentient beings in the world have no refuge and no refuge. Such a serious crime, according to Buddhist teachings
, I am going to fall into the Abi Hell?"
"Your Highness has a deep understanding of Buddhism, why do you hate Buddhism so much? Buddhism has absolutely no involvement in the secular world, and even the ideas it advocates are to persuade people to do good and avoid trouble. In this way, it is beneficial and harmless to the imperial government in managing the country."
Li Chen rubbed the tea cup with his fingers and said in a leisurely manner: "Tell the master a story."
"In the west, that is, across the sea, there is such a small country. This country is very small, just the size of the capital. Their population is only tens of thousands, and at most it does not exceed one hundred thousand."
"This country has no emperor and no army."
"The only one left is the Pope."
"The whole country believes in only one god, and they call it God."
"Under their propaganda, they have so many believers that even the surrounding countries whose area and population are several times or ten times larger than theirs do not dare to provoke them. Not only do they not dare to provoke them, they also give away money and people every year
I used to serve them comfortably."
"It's not for anything else, it's because almost all the people in those countries are their believers. Anyone who doesn't believe in their God is a heretic and will be tied to the rack and burned to death."
"As for the surrounding countries, when the imperial power changes, the first thing to do is to get the approval of the pope of that small country. If the pope does not approve, then his throne will be unfair. Not only the people will resist, but also the civil and military officials and the army.
They will not obey the emperor's orders."
Having said this, Li Chen looked up at the expressionless old monk and said lightly: "And their teachings also preach that everyone is friendly. As long as you join the association, you are brothers and sisters. If you have money, everyone will use it together. If you have food, everyone will eat together."
,A difficult one, P Plus support."
"But it is such a seemingly harmless church that controls the lifeblood of all surrounding countries."
