Datang signed in for 18 years and suddenly discovered that it was Journey to the West

Regardless of Li Shimin's intentions in making such an offering.

But Li Heng knew very well that he would no longer be able to be a little transparent among the princes like before.

Although as early as that day after the Chunming Sect sacrificed, he would definitely not be able to become "ordinary", but before today, his most active role was as the host of the Human Emperor's Hall, and even the status of the prince was gradually forgotten by many people.

When considering the attribution of imperial power, almost no one would count him in.

Li Shimin's conferment this time can be said to have directly pulled him back.

It's hard to say about other things for the time being, but in terms of the struggle for imperial power, Li Heng can no longer keep himself out of the matter.

Even if he didn't mean it himself, the dozen or so "good brothers" probably wouldn't believe it.

However, Li Heng's mentality is different now from when he traveled over.

With his more than 2000 years of Taoism, there is no one in the entire Tang Dynasty who can hurt him. At least his safety is guaranteed, so naturally he is not afraid of anything.

"Thank you, Father." Li Heng saluted respectfully, accepting Li Shimin's bestowal frankly.

The hall of Xuanzheng suddenly became silent and quiet, and the drop of a needle could be heard.

Many civil and military officials felt that they could smell the smell of sex in this eerie silence.

Some people have even considered how to stand in line.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai already regarded Li Heng as their imaginary enemy in their hearts.

With Li Heng's growing mental strength, the emotional changes of these people could not escape his perception, but he didn't care about it.

In fact, after learning that there are indeed monsters and even gods in this world, his goal is to focus on becoming stronger.

Especially after a "big battle", it made him more aware of the importance of strength.

Compared with the enhancement of one's own strength, the struggle for imperial power is not worth caring about at all.

Even with thousands of troops and horses, is it comparable to an ordinary thousand-year-old monster?

"I just want to be the host of my Human Emperor's Hall, sign in safely and become stronger, and the struggle for imperial power has nothing to do with me." Li Heng thought to himself, "However, if someone really comes to provoke me, I won't make it easy for him."

Li Shimin sat firmly on the golden throne with a smile on his face, seemingly unaware of the weird atmosphere in the Xuanzheng Hall. After seeing Li Heng receiving the order, he nodded slightly and his expression became serious again.

"Although the demon monk has been eradicated, the source of the disaster is still there. My dear friends, what do you think is the reason for this demon monk to openly disturb Chang'an and even enter the palace to attack me?"

His voice was like a golden stone falling to the ground, echoing in the Xuanzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, I think..." Yuan Tiangang stepped out at the right time, and said respectfully, "The demon monk came to Chang'an for nothing more than collecting taxes from the Buddha Field.

"He dared to act so recklessly, relying on the vast Buddhist sect behind him, and the many monks all over the Tang Dynasty, this should be his confidence."

"That's right, it's the Buddhist sect!" The eldest grandson Wujie nodded, and also came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have done surveys in various places in the early years. The monks promised wealth and honor in the next life, which is very tempting to ordinary people. There are a lot of monks in many places. Even more than ordinary people."

"Your Majesty, there should not be too many monks." Fang Xuanling also stood up, and said in a deep voice: "A monk abandons his family and business, does not marry a wife, does not have children, regards the ancestors' incense, fire and blood as nothing, talks about Amitabha Buddha, and has no father in his heart. Buddhism must not grow stronger."

Immediately afterwards, more and more court officials began to criticize Buddhism.

In fact, many of the court officials in the Xuanzheng Hall also believed in Buddhism. There were even statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas enshrined in their homes, and they often burned incense and worshiped.

But since the demon monk incident, these court officials have smashed the Buddha statues and Bodhisattva statues at home without exception, and replaced them with more popular Taoist gods.

At this time, in the court hall, these court officials dared not mention the fact that they once believed in Buddhism, and even secretly regretted it, determined not to have anything to do with Buddhism in the future.

Finally, after some arguing.

Changsun Wuji walked to the front, saluted respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I petition to ban the Buddhist sect, drive this god from the West out of the Central Plains, and all the monks return to vulgarity."

As soon as these words came out, a group of court officials immediately seconded their approval.

"No, no, this is inappropriate." Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, although Buddhism is hateful, if the Buddha is destroyed and the monks return to lay life, it will inevitably lead to the breeding of bandits, and the current situation will be turbulent.

"Buddhism has been passed down in the Central Plains for thousands of years, and it is good at deceiving people's hearts. Today, there are more than one million monks. If such a huge number of monks all return to the vulgar, there will not be enough land and errands to accommodate them."

When everyone heard it, it seemed to make sense.

Monks don't have any occupations. If they return to the vulgar all at once, it will be equivalent to countless refugees, which will inevitably cause great turmoil.

"Your Majesty, can monks be prohibited from continuing to preach?" Yuan Tiangang suggested: "First control the scale of Buddhism's missionary work, and then let monks return to their hometowns bit by bit, and defeat Buddhism step by step?"

This is a relatively compromised route, which once again triggered discussions among court officials.

Li Shimin stroked his beard lightly, as if he was considering which plan was reasonable, but his eyes soon fell on Li Heng again, and smiled, "Master, what do you think?"

Before the words fell, the Xuanzheng Hall became quiet again, and all the civil and military officials in the court also turned their attention to Li Heng.

In fact, Li Heng is currently considering when to refine the corpse of the deer demon to the Demon Suppressing Sword. By then, the Demon Suppressing Sword may be upgraded seven or eight times.

Delicious.

He suddenly came to his senses when he heard Li Shimin's question.

In fact, Li Heng also knew the current situation of Buddhism in Tang Dynasty through the discussion of these court officials just now and some investigations he had done before.

Although Li Tang worshiped Taoism and even found Li Er, the Supreme Taoist Patriarch, as his ancestor. Taoism can be called the state religion, but because the way of spreading Buddhism is too attractive to ordinary people, Buddhism is actually just flourishing.

After all, the channel requires a lot of cost. Whether it is burning alchemy or drawing talismans, it requires a lot of cost. If you don't have a certain degree of furniture, you may not be able to believe it.

Moreover, the desire of the Taoist sect to preach is not very great. Many high-level Taoist priests may have never been out of their own Taoist temples until they die, and they have always dreamed of becoming immortals.

Belief in Buddhism is different. Reciting a sentence of Amitabha Buddha can guarantee your wealth and honor in the next life.

The heinous murderer can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.

Is there anything that can expand the number of believers faster than this?

Regarding this situation, Li Heng's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a way, and said with a smile: "I regard Tao as my ancestor, or I can change Buddha to Tao.

"Buddha changed his name to Dajue Jinxian, the rest are Immortal Masters, monks are Virtuous Scholars, women's crowns are female Taoists, and nuns are female virtues.

"What does your father think?"

----

ps: Do you think this suggestion will actually be implemented?hey-hey.

Chapter 49 Boiled Frogs

The name of the Buddha was changed to Dajue Jinxian, the rest were Immortal Masters, monks were Virtuous Scholars, female crowns were female Taoists, and nuns were female virtues!

As soon as Li Heng's words came out, the Xuanzheng Hall was completely silent, and everyone's eyes turned to him, all with extremely shocked expressions.
