The tea in my hand suddenly lost its sweetness and was even a little sour.
Li Xingchen didn't make out with Lechang for too long. After all, this was not a suitable place. There were many female officials and chambermaids coming and going downstairs, and the sound insulation was not very good.
After all, we still have to give the queen some face, and we can't let everyone know that the queen is "defeated" upstairs.
Lechang put his arms around Li Xinchen's neck and leaned on his shoulder, quietly without saying a word. Li Xinchen, on the other hand, put his arms around her waist and was also enjoying this rare tranquility.
"Then what should we do if we encounter these problems in the future?" Lechang still broke the warmth and tranquility. After all, it was not that he had just met Li Xingchen, and she was not that obsessed with him yet.
I want to kiss you (*) warmly. I have plenty of time after I go back in the evening.
Li Xingchen smiled and said: "Of course, each of them will play fifty pieces, and then do whatever they have to do. Let them know that the court is fair and selfless."
"But this doesn't solve the problem." Lechang said helplessly.
Li Xingchen couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why do we need to solve the problem?"
Lechang was immediately speechless, because... Okay.
Neither Buddhism nor Taoism meets the future development needs of the Han Dynasty. What the Han Dynasty needs now is a spirit of pioneering and enterprising and not afraid of difficulties.
What is quiet and inactive, what is not involved in cause and effect, is obviously contrary to the overall spirit of the big man.
If these guys had some brains and promoted the importance of the Han Dynasty's expansion of territory, Li Xingchen might still support it. But if it remains the same as before, then in fact the spirits and ideas they promote are what Li Xingchen wants to reject.
Yes, His Majesty still allows them to preach, which can be regarded as "compassionate".
Now Li Xingchen is obviously giving them a chance to see if they know how to adapt. To give each of them fifty big words is to tell them that what you are doing is not correct in the eyes of the imperial court, so no one should get the imperial court.
of favor.
After a pause, Li Xingchen added: "After all, Jiangnan and the Central Plains were once places where the two religions were prevalent. There are still many believers among the older generation. Therefore, the inner government must pay more attention to this and must not let them
If you incite the older generation to come out and promote them, then the court will not be able to directly refute it."
Lechang nodded immediately. She knew that the older generation Li Xingchen was talking about were not ordinary people, but the founding fathers like Fu Wei who had retreated to the second line. They were all those who had contributed to the founding of the country by the Han Dynasty. If they really stood up
It would be hard for Li Xinchen to refuse his plea for Buddhism or Taoism, otherwise it would appear that the court was "killing the donkey".
Especially Fu Yi, who usually holds Buddhist beads in his hand and always chants Buddhist scriptures. It is normal for Buddhists to find him and come to his door, and it is reasonable for him to come forward when the time comes. Therefore, the inner government must be early
To prepare, you can even directly remind Fu Yi not to push forward.
After all, Fu Yi... himself is a straight person.
Li Xingchen couldn't guarantee whether this old man would get into trouble for a while.
"In addition, let the local prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment keep a closer eye on the two religions, so that they will not dare to act rashly." This time, Li Xingchen told Yu Chizhen that the inner government did not have the ability to control the local prefecture and the Ministry of Punishment.
This needs to be conveyed by the secretary.
Yu Chizhen hurriedly took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
Lechang said slowly: "If the imperial court just suppresses the two religions like this, it doesn't seem to be a good thing. After all, the two religions still have many believers among the people. It is inevitable that the two religions will be forced to join hands..."
"Le'er, you should be aware of the potential for Taoism and Buddhism to join hands. As long as the issue of principle comes into contact, they will directly lose the trust of many believers. This is something they will not do." Li Xingchen said decisively.
Lechang was startled for a moment, that was true.
Buddhism and Taoism are inherently incompatible, and both sides often find loopholes in each other's teachings to criticize them in every possible way. This is not something that has been done in recent years, but has been done for hundreds of years, so the Han Dynasty is just one of them.
They are enemies of time, and they are mortal enemies of each other from generation to generation.
So when the two parties join forces, it is equivalent to slapping themselves in the face.
This was actually the same as the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time. The Han Dynasty was just an outsider, and there was no room for two tigers in one mountain. It was impossible for Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian to raise the banner of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at the same time, otherwise the legitimacy of both sides would be directly questioned.
So even though we know that there is a fisherman waiting outside, the two sides have to fight first. What if the outcome can be decided in one battle?
The same is true for Taoism and Buddhism now. They cannot fight the Han alone, and it is impossible to join forces. Therefore, they can only resolve their conflicts first, and even they have to work hard to seek the support of the Han.
For a moment, Lechang felt that the problem that had caused even the inner court a headache had become boring. He looked at Li Xingchen and sighed softly: "If it is neither Buddha nor Tao, then what does your Majesty believe in?"
For a long time, Li Xingchen has been working hard to promote a sense of belonging to the country and nation, which has made everyone a little confused. What is the belief in the heart of His Majesty the Han Dynasty?
Li Xingchen smiled slightly: "What do you think?"
"Not bad." Lechang said decisively.
As soon as I said this, I knew something was definitely up.
"Just guess and you'll be rewarded."
Lechang then hesitated and said: "Okay, then...are they the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the ancestors?"
Li Xingchen was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head: "My martyrs, please bless me in China. They gave me confidence, but it is not my belief. During the battle and the governance of the country, I always felt that they were watching secretly.
They are also supporting me. They believe that I can do it, and I also believe that they are making this country better and better."
After Lechang pondered for a long time, he still shook his head.
Li Xingchen murmured: "Actually, my beliefs are the same as theirs, which is for peace in the world, for the stability of this country, and for the blood of this nation to continue forever."
Lechang and Yuchizhen couldn't help but exchange a look.
Li Xingchen's voice was very low, but it carried an irresistible magic power that made them have a sincere desire to follow him and help him. In fact, they were doing the same.
"When I wrote "The Story of Love Lotus", I knew that Your Majesty is different from ordinary people." Lechang said in a low voice, recalling all the events back then, his heart felt warm.
That article "Ai Lian Shuo" vividly demonstrated Li Xingchen's arrogance and courage, and a copy she personally copied still hangs in Lechang's study.
It’s a bit funny to say that this article is also the first gift Li Xingchen gave to Lechang. There is no affection or love between the lines, but it expresses the tenacity and integrity of a person who is struggling to survive in troubled times. But exactly like this,
