In Chang'an alone, the amount of land in Buddhism reached more than 30,000 acres, not even counting the various prefectures of the Tang Dynasty.

There are countless golden Buddha statues in the temple, and each one is made of gold.

In other words, money cannot be achieved without a million yuan.

The involvement made monks from Daxiangguo Temple such as Master Xuanzang panic.

"Xuanzang, this is really a Buddhist calamity!"

Looking at the abbot's sad face, Xuanzang was speechless and could only say "Amitabha!"

Sitting down cross-legged with all the fellow disciples and praying to the Buddha in their hearts, asking the Buddha to forgive their sins.

Li Shimin received news from the beginning of the Buddhist move.

Xuanzang visited the King of Qin, and then the Buddhist movements were abnormal.

Li Shimin secretly sent someone to supervise, and was very curious about what Buddhism would do next.

The news that was received afterwards was shocked, "What? Tens of thousands of Buddhist monks were expelled from various temples in Chang'an?"

Liu Sancheng explained: "Your Majesty, not only that, 12 full-gold Buddha statues were handed out by the Buddhist sect."

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask in his heart, "What do Buddhism want to do?"

The next day, outside the Qin King's Village, Xuanzang led the monks of Daxiangguo Temple to ask for a visit.

Li Fangchen did not show up, and Li Tai held the letter from the King of Qin and said to Xuanzang: "The second brother did not see the monks, so I will give you a word and think about it carefully!"

Xuanzang did not dare to be careless and hurriedly said, "Please give advice from His Highness the King of Wei!"

"The Buddha of Taiping is greedy for money, and the troubled world is coming down the mountain!"

Since ancient times, Buddhism has been in a hidden state.

They enjoy the fireworks of the world, but do not worry about the country.

Anyone who has a warrior is rarely seen.

There are only a few Pure Land lands in the war, because Buddhism does not talk about killing, and many people rely on Buddhist protection during wars.

Passing troops rarely pay attention to Buddhism.

To talk about the origin of Shaolin Temple and Li Shimin, it has to be in Baiguwu many years ago, which was a temple property given to Shaolin Temple by Emperor Wen of Sui.

Fifty miles northwest of the temple, due to its dangerous terrain, it was a place where military families must fight for. Wang Shichong took it for himself as a military fortress and asked his nephew Wang Renze to guard it. Luoyang, which he owned his troops, echoed and supported each other to resist the Tang army.

One day later, the monk from Shaolin Temple joined forces with Zhao Xiaozai, Sima of the Sima of Wang Renze, who was under Wang Renze, and cooperated with Wang Renze and captured Wang Renze and gave it to the Tang army. Three days later, Li Shimin sent officials to the temple to pay the rewards, and gave it to 40 hectares of land (i.e. Baiguwu) and a piece of water crushed.

With this achievement, Li Shimin has always been tolerant of Buddhism.

Wang Shichong is undeniable that he was once a major enemy of Li Shimin.

This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The appearance of monks from Shaolin Temple saved Li Shimin a lot of trouble.

But later generations have many misunderstandings about this story.

The key to the rise of Buddhism is still because of Taoism.

Whether in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Taoism, as a local religion, had a profound influence in the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty Li Shimin, the number one person in the world, is deeply attracted by the way of checks and balances.

Since the Taoist sect is strong, then choose Buddhism to compete with it.

Taoism emphasizes inaction and advocates the way of heaven, but there are countless people with ability.

Relatively speaking, Buddhism that is escaping from the world is more likable.

However, when a large number of monks were dismissed from the Zhou Temple in Chang'an City, Li Shimin was furious.

"What do Buddhism want to do? People, money, land, what else do they have to lack?"

After closing the memorial, Li Shimin really wanted to order people to search all the magnificent temples.

Liu Sancheng persuaded: "Your Majesty, this move in Buddhism must be related to the Second Highness. If it weren't for the Second Highness, I wouldn't have known that this Buddhist monk in Chang'an would have accumulated so much!"

"Did the monk from Daxiangguo Temple go to Qinwangzhuang today?" Li Shimin nodded slightly and then asked.

Liu Sancheng said: "I'm going, the Fourth Highness came out to send them away. The Second Highness also asked the Fourth Highness to bring a word."

"What's the matter?"

"The Buddha of Taiping is greedy for money, and the troubled world is coming down the mountain!"

Li Shimin hesitated a little, "Is Yu'er knocking on Buddhism? Or is she planning to help the Taoist sect?"

Liu Sancheng shook his head and didn't know, "I can't guess the second prince's thoughts. Thanks to the second prince, your Majesty has recovered tens of acres of land and thousands of kilograms of gold!"

"This is true. I should really reward Yu'er."

Tens of thousands of young and strong laborers were added. After they removed the Buddhist robes, they became ordinary people.

The Buddhists handed over more than 20,000 acres of land deeds and handed over the golden Buddha statues.

All temples have replaced Buddha statues with stone or wood.

I dare not get involved in the trouble of people and money.

Xuanzang and other Buddhist monks kept thinking about the true meaning of His Highness the King of Qin asked His Highness to bring out the true meaning of this sentence.

After thinking about it, I am afraid that the key issue is the word "peace and troubled times".

Why don’t Buddhist monks want to be officials like Taoists? Or practice medicine in the world?

Unfortunately, they can't do it because they know better how much they are.

They ate vegetarian food all day long and chanted Buddha's name. They learned nothing about other things.

"Why don't you ask all the fellow brothers from Shaolin Temple to come forward?"

"Xuanzang, what do you mean?"

"Abbot, the Tang Dynasty has changed. His Highness the King of Qin does not want Buddhism to become a useless place."

"But... we are the ones who worship Buddha..."

Xuanzang said firmly: "The Buddha is true in his heart, but our Buddha is not the Buddha of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Xuanzang, why not go to Qinwang Village again. Now that my Buddhist sect is damaged, isn't it enough to satisfy His Highness the King of Qin?"

Are you satisfied? To be honest, Xuanzang himself didn't feel satisfied.

He was devoted to Buddhist affairs and felt that this was what Buddhism should do.

How can the Buddhist sect who serves Buddha be invaded by the world and make yellow and white things lose their minds?

It’s just a pity that those monks who did not have a document, perhaps some of them who truly serve me Buddha, had to leave in the end.

Buddhist monks in the Tang Dynasty must go to the government to file a record and leave a document to be considered as verifying their true self.

However, not many documents are issued every year, which limits the key factors in the development of many temples.

Although there is so much money for incense and the land is getting bigger and bigger, no one helps them to take care of it. Due to the greed in their hearts, many monks without documents appear.

They are different from those monks with documents and do the lowest work in the temple, and they do this because in the temple, there is no need to worry about hunger.

A few days later, Xuanzang came to Qinwangzhuang again.

After getting the meeting from Li Fangchen, looking at Xuanzang's slightly nervous face, Li Fangchen asked with a smile: "Master, what are the instructions for me to ask for me?"

"The little monk dared not!" King Qin was joking with him? Why did Xuanzang feel cold on his back, and he could sweat all over his cold sweat in just one sentence?

Li Fangchen sneered twice, not intending to let Xuanzang go, "Your Buddha is much richer than this king!"

Xuanzang said in a silence: "Your Highness, please point out a clear path to Buddhism!"

"What? I feel unwilling to accept it? I feel that those things should belong to Buddhism?"

Xuanzang shook his head and said, "I dare not, Buddhism is wrong. But now we are willing to make up for it. Please tell the Buddhist a way out!"
