Xianjue followed Lou Shoujian to the gate of the Song Dynasty Palace again, but this time there was no crossbow arrow thicker than a baby's arm that threatened him. He closed his hands and chanted the Buddha's name softly. Xianjue stepped into the black city gate.

This time, we must ask the Zhao Song official family for the right of passage for the Dangxiang Fan monks in the Song Dynasty, otherwise how can we complete the king's plan?

Looking at Lou Shoujian, who was solemn in the treasure, Xianjue showed a disdainful expression. The monk didn't know the simple truth that religion should serve the regime. He was foolishly brought him to the emperor for the right of passage from the monks after being provoked by his own Buddhist principles and a little provocation.

It seems that the so-called great monks are just superficial articles. Looking back, almost all the monks he met along the way were fat heads, big ears, and fat people. There were very few ascetic monks who were as thin as a monk. Dangxiang’s monks were simply refugees compared to them!

Unexpectedly, monks had such a high status in the Song Dynasty, without having to work, serve, or even be summoned by the state to join the army. Since this is the case, Lou Shoujian must be a guest of honor for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. As long as he could help him with a few good words, and with the relics he got from the Western Regions, he should be able to impress the emperor.

Still in the back garden, Zhao Zhen summoned Lou Shoujian and Xianjue. One of them smiled like Maitreya Buddha and the other as thin as an ascetic monk, which reminded him of the strange combination of "mindlessness" and "unhappy".

A cylindrical golden urn was placed on the table in the water pavilion by Sancai. Zhao Zhen pointed curiously: "What is here?"

Lou Shoujian smiled without saying a word and pretended to be profound, but Xianjue stretched out his hand and pointed out: "Please reveal it yourself. This thing is extremely sacred and has great luck! It was obtained by cremation after the death of the living Buddha..."

Zhao Zhen asked in surprise: "Is there a relics here?!"

Lou Shoujian twitched: "It's not a relics, it's a relics... The hair, bones, ashes left by monks after their death are all called relics, and the relics are solid leaves after being burned by fire!"

Zhao Zhen calmed down his embarrassment a little, but he didn't expect that the difference between relics and relics was so big. He had always thought that this was the same thing before.

Uncovered the lid of the golden urn, a beam of sunlight shone into the golden urn, and several translucent balls reflected a turbid light in the sunlight...

This colorful bead that is not as bright as the glass beads, but the slightly turbid colorful beads are actually relics?

What exactly is a relics? Although there is no conclusion in later generations, Zhao Zhen knew that this thing was nothing more than the recrystallization of the residues of human skeletons, or the items they carried with them. The main reason why it was spread is that it was the relics of great monks and masters.

Lou Shoujian and Xianjue looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise, not because of his solemnity, but because the official family showed disdain.

"What's the use of this thing? If it really brings great luck, how did Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, starve to death in the Jingju Hall of Taicheng Imperial Palace?"

Zhao Zhen picked up the golden urn and then looked at the sunshine. The relic was not as good as the glass, let alone compared to diamond crystal pearls.

In Xianjue's horrified eyes, Zhao Zhen gently picked up one with a handkerchief, looked at himself in the sunshine and said to himself: "Is this relic a bone or a crystal of a personal belonging?"

In the eyes of Xianjue and Lou Shoujian, this kind of behavior was simply a blasphemy of the Buddha's evil deeds! The ten evil deeds are like Avici Hell!

"Your Majesty, you must not blaspheme, otherwise the Buddha will bring great disasters and disasters!"

Zhao Zhen gently put down the relics. This thing might be useful. Let’s put it in the treasure house first. Anyway, there are countless rare treasures in the world, and it’s not too small!

Sancai left with Jinweng in his arms, creating a private chat environment for the remaining people.

"Just tell me if you have anything, and I've even given me a gift."

Lou Shoujian put his hands together and pronounced the Buddhist chant: "I reported to the official family, although Xianjue was a foreigner, he was ordered to come to our Song Dynasty for Buddhist exchanges with the instructions of King Xiping, and asked for Buddhist scriptures, Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, and ask Your Majesty to agree."

"What should I agree? Let the foreigners walk around in my Song Dynasty at will? Lou Shoujian, have you taken the wrong medicine!"

Zhao Zhen's attitude changed drastically, and Lou Shoujian, who was originally smiling, and Xianjue, who was extremely expectant, froze.

how so?!

Are the emperors of the Song Dynasty bandits who eat black and black?

The relics were so noble that they accepted them without hesitation, and they accepted them as soon as they were taken, but they even rejected their request without even thinking about them. Is there any reason, the demeanor of a great country, and the prestige of a country?

"Your Majesty! Although our party Xiang is fighting against the Song Dynasty, he has to force him..."

Zhao Zhen really wanted to kick this fake monk away with one foot. It was so shameless that he wanted to get rid of the Song Dynasty, but he had to be forced to make a name.

"Oh, so that's the case. You have to force me. So do I have to lead my army to attack Dangxiang? I might as well tell you that Dangxiang's monks will never be able to enter my Song Dynasty! You will have this heart! As for the scriptures, I remember that there is also a copy of Daxiangguo Temple that will give you, and I will order someone to send you out of the country in the future!"

Xianjue left under the leadership of Chen Tong. Unexpectedly, the relics stolen by the army from the Western Regions were drifted away and changed to a Mahayana Buddhist scripture from Xiangguo Temple!

The reason why Lou Shoujian stayed was because he had something to discuss with Zhao Zhen: "Report to the official family, my Buddhism has always respected the imperial power. The old monk heard that the official family intends to change the status of my Buddhism in the Song Dynasty, so he doesn't know what to do?"

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly: "Simple, from now on, the court will no longer issue certificates. Existing Buddhist disciples must participate in the Buddhist scripture examination organized by the government. If they cannot pass, they will be dismissed from the monks, and they will be kept with their hair and beards, and they will be entrusted to Lingnan to open up wasteland!"

Lou Shoujian's body trembled, what was that arrangement? It was simply killing everyone!

"Why did Your Majesty treat me Buddhism like this?"

"Don't you know this? Doesn't Buddhism pay attention to the cycle of cause and effect and retribution? The time is coming to pay off the debt! I want you to spit out all the past fat and ointment for the people before, and you will have to pay back the money that owed to the Song Dynasty without any remaining!"

Lou Shoujian had no choice but to do anything. The situation in front of him was no longer in his plan. At this time, he was in the palace and could only obey the will of the royal family.

In desperation, the two queens put together their hands and pronounced the Buddha's name: "Wang Wu Amitabha! The old monk said he was leaving..."

You must go back quickly to inform all the disciples of Buddhism and analyze the scriptures. Otherwise, it will be unknown how many people there will be left in Buddhism!

But before he could take two steps, he heard Zhao Zhen speak, "Oh, I forgot to say that every piece of land in Buddhism has to be taxed. If you evade taxes, hum... you know the consequences!"

"Why did Your Majesty treat me like this? Can't even the disciples of the Buddhists be considered as the people of the Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly. Lou Shoujian actually questioned it would be even better: "Of course not counting. There were four people in ancient times, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce! What kind of type do you think are your monks?"

"This..." Lou Shoujian was speechless. Since ancient times, the theory of the Four People has never included monks or Taoist priests.

"It seems that you know that monks are not among the four people. Do you know why? Because you don't do production, enjoy the fruits of your life, and even lend usury to slaughter the people and defraud the land. How can you be considered the four people? It's simply the four evils!"

It would be nice to not take back your land, but you are not convinced by paying taxes?

In fact, the reason why Zhao Zhen did not take back the Buddhist land was not that he did not want to, but that he could not.

The land in Buddhism feeds a large group of farmers. What should we do if the farmers are confiscated and the land is lost?
