Puji stepped forward again and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
The concierge poked his head out again. When he saw it was Pu Ji and the others, he had a look of astonishment on his face. He even raised his brows and said, "You monks are really annoying! You came to the house just now, and now you're here again.
Don't worry. If you don't bother me, I will. Don't get angry with me and make me angry. I won't pay attention to you anymore."
"Yes Yes!"
Puji smiled apologetically and said, "Please inform me that we have something important to see the prince."
As he spoke, Puji reached out and took out a bag of money from behind, handed it to the concierge, and said, "Please inform me, we really have something important to do."
"Wait!"
The concierge gave an order.
The concierge turned around and entered the room.
The concierge went straight to Wang Can's study. After seeing Wang Can, the concierge reported: "Sir, those great monks are here again. This time, they say they want to see you."
Wang Can raised his eyebrows.
Somewhat unexpected.
Monk Puji is back unexpectedly.
And I want to see him.
After Wang Can thought for a moment, a smile appeared on his lips. He already understood the other party's intention. Obviously, Li Yuan had rejected Pu Ji and others' request before, and Pu Ji and others were desperate, so they put their thoughts on him.
I want to start from him.
This is Puji's intention.
Wang Can thought for a while and then ordered: "Go and make arrangements."
"yes!"
The concierge nodded and answered.
The concierge went to inform, and after a while, Puji and others all came to the study. Because there were too many people, the study was a little crowded, but Puji stood at the front. He bowed and saluted Wang Can and said
: "The poor monk Puji has met the prince."
Wang Can nodded and said: "Master Puji, right? If I remember correctly, you went to see the Supreme Emperor before. Why, you failed to seek help from the Supreme Emperor, so you came to me with the intention of seeking help again.
"
Puji said: "We are indeed seeking the prince's help. In fact, all the temples have reached the most dangerous time. Buddhism has been suppressed everywhere and it is difficult to survive. Therefore, we sincerely ask the prince to lend a helping hand.
Hands, help me wait."
"impossible!"
Wang Can spoke crisply.
Xuan Zhao was anxious.
He gritted his teeth and said quickly: "Master Wang, you have always put compassion first. For the sake of thousands of refugees, Master Wang is willing to build a city outside the North City of Chang'an to help the refugees settle down. Master Wang, for the sake of the thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty,
, are willing to contribute their own strength. Now, Buddhism is also at a critical moment of life and death. I sincerely ask you, Mr. Wang, to help us."
Wang Can sneered and said: "Buddhism is at a critical moment of life and death, which is a bit interesting. According to this statement, no one in Buddhism can survive anymore. They have no food and no clothes?"
Xuan Zhao was immediately speechless.
Each temple naturally has a certain background.
If you don't have food to eat, that's definitely not the case. If you don't have clothes to wear, that's not the case either.
But this concept is not equivalent.
Xuan Zhao took a deep breath and said again: "Mr. Wang, this is not the same. What I mentioned is the situation of the entire Buddhist sect, not a specific monk. Mr. Wang, the decline of Buddhism is true.
At this critical moment of life and death, I beg you, Prince Wang, to help us."
After a pause, Xuan Zhao continued: "The one who can influence the emperor now is the prince. As long as the prince is willing to come forward and enter the palace to persuade the emperor, then there is still a chance for everything."
Wang Can said: "But why should I help you?"
When Puji heard this, a smile flashed across his face.
He thought the opportunity had come.
As long as Wang Can is willing to negotiate terms, everything will still be possible. If Wang Can doesn't negotiate terms and is as stubborn as Li Yuan, that will be the most difficult thing.
Puji said sternly: "What conditions does Prince Wang need? No matter what the conditions are, as long as we can meet them, we will definitely satisfy Prince Prince with all our strength. Even if we cannot meet them, we will do our best."
Wang Can suddenly burst out laughing.
This laughter came suddenly.
As a result, Puji, Xuanzhao and others all had expressions of surprise on their faces.
Pu Ji quickly said: "Why is Prince Wang laughing?"
Wang Can said: "The reason why I am laughing is because you are willing to give up everything in order to ask for my help. But why didn't you learn from Ci'en Temple earlier? This Ci'en Temple is in this place.
During the round of inspections, it was not affected at all. In fact, countless believers went to Ci'en Temple."
Puji's face turned dark.
The same goes for the other monks.
In fact, they usually look down on Ci'en Temple. That is to say, the great monk Long Hai is profound in Buddhism, and Long Hai himself is highly skilled in martial arts, so they don't mess with Ci'en Temple.
Nowadays, Ci'en Temple, which they looked down upon, has become even more powerful.
Pu Ji took a deep breath and said: "Master Wang, Ci'en Temple has the same path as Ci'en Temple, but their way of practicing meditation is different from our temple. After all, Buddhism in the world has its own focus."
After a pause, Master Puji continued: "Master Wang, let's go back to the topic just now. We are willing to meet the conditions proposed by Master Wang. We just ask you, Master Wang, to help us and solve our dilemma."
Wang Can said: "You know I was laughing just now. Firstly, I was laughing at you for being willing to give up everything in order to survive, even regardless of the situation of the temple. It can be said that it has lost the face of Buddhism. Secondly, do you know what it is?"
Puji said: "I don't know."
The others also shook their heads.
They are not the roundworms in Wang Can's belly, how can they know what Wang Can is thinking.
Wang Can leaned forward slightly and said: "The reason why I am laughing is very simple. It was I, Wang Can, who told the emperor that the temples in the world are extremely rich and occupy countless fertile fields. It was I who suggested that the emperor let
He suppressed Buddhism and asked the emperor to check the land and money of Buddhism. I obviously caused this incident, but I didn't expect that you actually came to me and asked me to help you. It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"
Wow!!
When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.
Everyone's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
How can it be?
It was actually Wang Can who facilitated this.
After the expressions of disbelief, when everyone looked at Wang Can, their eyes were filled with anger, and they all stared at Wang Can with eyes like fire.
If looks could kill, Wang Can would have died countless times.
Pu Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Can, you are so cruel! Why do you want to deal with us Buddhists like this?"
Wang Can said: "The reason is very simple. You are all a group of people who are extremely rich. Especially monks and Buddhists like you, who are unkind for the sake of wealth and occupy the manhole without shit, but sit back and watch thousands of people fall into trouble. Where are you?
If you have even half the compassion of a Buddhist bodhisattva, you deserve to be suppressed as a group of unkind people just for the sake of wealth."
At this moment, Wang Can said what he was thinking.
The reason why he went to the emperor to ask him to liquidate the land of Buddhism was actually because the people's life was difficult, but one temple after another became more and more glorious.
The people are becoming more and more miserable.
Wang Can is not ashamed of this kind of Buddhism.
Puji took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Can, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
Wang Can said: "There is a severe drought in the world, but have you ever given out any grain to provide relief and help those in need? Especially last year's severe winter, when countless people were displaced, have you ever spared any grain to help the needy people?"
"Never!"
"None of you did it."
"What you are doing is taking advantage of the years of famine to keep doing things and keep gathering money and land. You are extremely rich, but the people are already dry and weak, and they can't even eat."
Wang Can's eyes showed an angry look.
This is what he thinks.
Because Buddhism has hoarded too much land and has too many resources, but it has done nothing.
Wang Can continued: "You guys deserve the results you have today. If you want to follow the path of the Supreme Emperor, it is impossible. If you want to follow the path of my place, it is also impossible."
After hearing what Wang Can said, Puji gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Can, you have done a great job and cut off Buddhism's retreat. You will definitely be punished for being so cruel. We will see."
"Let's leave."
Puji gave the order directly.
Xuan Zhao and the other monks all spoke one after another, accusing Wang Can of suppressing Buddhism and cutting off the Buddhist sect's retreat.
After talking one by one, they left one after another.
In this study room, I felt relaxed and quiet again for a while.
Wang Can didn't care about Puji and Xuanzhao's thoughts at all. He still did whatever he needed to do and ignored things. On the other hand, after Puji, Xuanzhao and others left Wang's house, their expressions were even more revealing.
Angry face.
They were previously rejected by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan refused, but it happened that Li Yuan had never attacked them like this before, and Li Yuan was not the initiator. But here, Wang Can was cruel and ruthless.
The most important thing is that Wang Can humiliated them again.
Puji looked around at the crowd and said: "Everyone, now everything is clear. It was Wang Can who specifically spread rumors and even incited the emperor, which led to this action to suppress Buddhism. Now that we know this,
The root of the problem lies with Wang Can, so there should be a certain chance of dealing with it. Can you tell me how we can break the situation?"
Xuan Zhao still had a stern look in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Senior Brother Puji, now we all know that Wang Can did all this. Under such a premise, why should we consider breaking the situation? We have to kill the culprit first, kill Wang Can first, and then
Consider other things. If Wang Can doesn’t die, then Wang Can’s policies will continue.”
