Li Jiancheng went from sparing Buddhism and kissing demons to destroying Buddhism. He only respected demons and had three thousand personal guards. In one night, he destroyed thirty-seven Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an City.
Collect the blessings of the three treasures and distribute them to the famine refugees around Chang'an. The temples, pagodas and temples are nominally distributed to the ministers.
The movements were so fast that the Buddhist and Taoist families didn't even have a chance to react.
It was not until the next day that Crown Prince Li Jiancheng gave several seemingly high-sounding reasons that were difficult to refute.
That is, ascetics have always been exempted from taxes and corvee. They accumulated a lot of wealth in the prosperous times, but they could only get in and out. So many times when the national treasury was empty and the local famine happened, Buddhism still had enough financial resources to build golden Buddha statues and collect crops.
disciple.
In today's troubled times, the world is in chaos, and the common people have no clothes to wear and no food to eat. However, the Buddhist novices are all fat-headed and have luxurious cassocks. However, they seldom spread the remaining grain of Buddhism to help the homeless people in the world.
It is also because Buddhism is exempt from taxes and does not need to do any manual labor except eating fasting and chanting Buddha's name. As a result, there are many monks now and there is a large loss of grassroots workers in various industries, which is harmful to the country and not beneficial.
With the word "Amitabha", one can blatantly harbor evil and evil people, in the name of salvation, but in fact, he openly shelters foreign and foreign thieves, and the imperial court has violated so many things that it is difficult to count.
The reason is so high-sounding that most people cannot refute it, because in today's world, the profession with the best life and the least pressure is indeed that of a monk.
There are no taxes, you can gather wealth, and you can ask for alms for free. You will not be like grassroots workers who exchange their own labor for rewards, but it is still difficult to support a family.
This is the world today.
This is Buddhism today.
As for Taomen.
The reason given by Li Jiancheng was even simpler. It was nothing more than randomly picking out a few similar reasons for destroying the Buddha to fool the Taoist sect.
The reason is very simple, Daomen are easy to bully.
Yes, they are easy to bully, even if they have Ning Daoqi, a great master on the surface.
But Ning Daoqi blindly favored Buddhism, so that people under Taoism were divided into different parties, and they were like scattered sand that could not be twisted together. They were not like Buddhism, which could dominate the general trend of the world.
But what makes many people hate you is that you said that our Buddhist and Taoist families harbor filth and gather evil, amassing unpredictable wealth, and are harmful to the country and the country, but not beneficial.
But what about the magic gate?
We can at least boast that the world is righteous!
Never before has the demon sect blatantly put its cruel and willful policy on the table. Almost all of them are treacherous ministers and thieves who seek to cause harm to one party and have no laws!
Since you, Li Jiancheng, have said so grandly that you are only for the country, the country, and the future generations, why don't you take action against the Demon Sect?
Instead, he sticks to him like a dog, even destroys the Buddha and eliminates the Tao, and shows his loyalty with a shy face. This is extremely shameless!
Regardless of whether Li Jiancheng is shameless or not, he is very happy now.
Because the Demon King looked very happy.
In the small courtyard.
Mrs. Ye sat on the stone bench, behind her Wanwan and Mrs. Xiao stood quietly, their eyes full of meaning.
Li Jiancheng bowed slightly and stood half a foot in front of Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye looked at this Prince Yin from top to bottom, who was said to have no virtue and was unruly in the history books, but in reality he was both civil and military, and had a treacherous heart.
Mrs. Ye tapped her fingers on the table and clicked her tongue: "With this move, the Crown Prince is probably completely on the opposite side of the so-called right path in the world."
Li Jiancheng's eyes flickered and he said: "Jianjiancheng stands wholeheartedly on the side of the Holy Gate, and has long been regarded as a serious problem by both Buddhism and Taoism. So why should we leave room for them? Jiancheng is only willing to exchange Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the world for the Holy Gate."
Greatly prosper future generations."
Mrs. Ye was indeed a little satisfied, and she really didn’t expect that so many things would happen after just one night’s rest. He said: “Since the Crown Prince has surrendered like this, and I have seen your determination, that’s good, the Demon Sect will definitely
I will support you with all my strength. After Jiangshan Dingding is established, the world will be changed. There will be no trace of Taoism or Buddha, only the Holy Sect."
Li Jiancheng couldn't hide his smile, bowed and said: "Jianjiancheng thanks the Demon Emperor for his support."
Mrs. Ye nodded and said: "Go ahead. I will send two elders from the Yingui Sect, Wei Lianxiang and Pi Shouxuan, to follow the Crown Prince's orders and protect the Crown Prince's safety to prevent the two Buddhist and Taoist families from jumping over the wall.
"
Li Jiancheng was overjoyed, thanked him again, then respectfully took three steps back, turned around and walked out of the hospital.
After he left, Wanwan laughed and sat on the stone bench next to Mrs. Ye.
This girl can sit without standing, and can lie down without sitting.
When outsiders were around, as a subordinate, she would naturally not embarrass the Demon King, but in private, the Demoness, who had already figured out Mrs. Ye's temperament, ignored many etiquette.
Wanwan smiled and said: "Demon Emperor, if Li Jiancheng does this, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."
"What do you mean?"
"Because everyone in the world must have thought that Li Jiancheng was prompted by the Demon Emperor to act so decisively. Now that the country has not yet been decided, there are a few people who want to conquer the world and are willing to conquer the Buddhist and Taoist families at once.
Are they all offended? This Li Jiancheng, I have to say, is indeed courageous."
Ye Tai thought for a while and nodded: "It is true. Everyone in the world will definitely think that it is the emperor's order. But this time in the battle of Yang Gong's treasure house, the Holy Sect will stand completely opposite to the world's heroes. With the help of the crown prince,
It’s okay to use your hands to express your determination.”
Wanwan said with a smile: "But more than this, Wanwan still wants to see the expression of our concubine Xuan Xianzi. I heard that after we left yesterday, she got very close to the Demon Emperor's god-sister. I think she is still doing it.
She has a sweet dream of transforming the Demon Emperor, and Prince Jiancheng's move this time has awakened her sweet dream."
Mrs. Ye chuckled: "This world is a melting pot. Unless you are completely outside the world, how can the people in the game have any happy dreams?"
Wanwan supported her chin with both hands and said, "Is even the Demon Emperor considered a player? If there is anyone in the world who is most qualified to be free, who else is there besides the Demon Emperor?"
Ye Tai chuckled lightly and said: "You can't imagine the restraints of this emperor. The situation in this world is difficult to deal with. There is no free time in the world. Wanwan, beautiful mother, this country will definitely be included in my pocket.
But I am destined to leave this melting pot and move to the next one, so where will you two go?"
Wanwan said with a resentful expression: "Didn't the Demon King say that you are more obsessed with the human world than the inexplicable heaven? How could you be willing to abandon Wanwan, Meiniang, and the beautiful scenery of the human world?"
Xiao Meiniang, who was in the back, was also trembling. If the Demon Emperor would really leave, where would her rootless duckweed drift to?
She doesn't know it herself.
What situation will this world push her into?
Xiao Meiniang sighed and said leisurely: "Is there anything in this world that the Demon Emperor is reluctant to part with?"
"For the sake of soul sublimation, you can give up everything in this world."
The two of them lived up to their smiles and couldn't help but lament.
