Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 177 Give Your Majesty Li Yuan a Beauty Trick

Just when Kong Qing was busy counting the monsters in the entire Chang'an City, registering households for all the people, and the business of obtaining certificates was booming, and the monster circles in Chang'an City were flying around, the Buddhist gates in the entire Jingzhao area had already been taken over by His Majesty Li Yuan and Fu Yi's suggestion made people panic.

On the square of Yanxing Temple, the Great Monk Jizang was wearing a cassock, standing calmly with lowered eyebrows, and beside him was an old monk who was also wearing a cassock and looked kindly.

The old monk's secular surname is Du, and his name is Du Shun. He was born in the Du family of Jingzhao. In terms of seniority, he should be Du Ruhui's uncle.

He loved Buddhism when he was young, and when he became a monk, he was greeted by the gods of the earth. A few years later, he proved the fruit of Sutuohuan, and then he made great progress all the way. One of the monks with a fork.

In the original history, Monk Du Shun would be greatly appreciated by Tang Taizong when he was chatting with Emperor Taizong.

Monk Jizang was also known as Master Jiaxiang because he once served as an abbot in Jiaxiang Temple. When the two of them stopped here, half of the four holy monks in a certain Shuanglong were assembled!
Next to Monk Du Shun stood two great monks who also wore cassocks and had a dignified appearance, also waiting there with their eyes slightly closed.

In the silence, an old monk with white beard and eyebrows stepped out of the void, stood in front of Ji Zang and Du Shun, and bowed to them with clasped hands.

"Nanwu Miaoguang Bodhisattva! Old monk Zhixi, I have met several great monks..."

Several monks in the field opened their eyes at the same time, and bowed slightly to the old monk in front of them.

"Jizang (Fashun, Fajing, Huiyuan) has met the Great Monk Zhixi!"

After seeing the ceremony, monk Zhixi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to monk Fashun who was standing in the middle.

"This is a letter from the venerable Zhang An to empower the monk. From now on, all the affairs of the Dharma Huazong in Jingzhao will be taken over by the old monk."

Several great monks in the venue glanced at each other, then nodded at the same time, and then Monk Du Shun reached out to take the letter.

"Great Monk Jizang..."

After monk Zhixi handed over the letter, he turned to look at monk Ji Zang again, with a calm tone.

"Before the old monk came to Jingzhao, the great monk Guan Ding specifically explained to the old monk that you, the great monk Jizang, originally belonged to the Sanlun sect, and you entered under the wall of my Tiantai gate just to seek the Dharma. Now you re-establish the Sanlun sect. Zong, I am very happy on the rooftop, and I am willing to give my full support.”

Although monk Ji Zang knew that the reason for the initiation was that the current situation was unfavorable, and the influence of the Tiantai Fahua Sect in Jingzhao was no longer enough to stop him from establishing a sect, but after receiving the promise from the initiation monk, he still had his heart set. loose.

Monk Ji Zang clasped his hands together, gave a deep salute, and said with emotion.

"The Great Monk Enthroned is truly a shining light of wisdom!"

On the other side, Monk Du Shun also read the letter of the initiation monk, and then nodded.

"It's the handwriting of the great monk who empowered you!"

"That's good, great monk Zhixi, please!"

Monk Ji Zang stretched out his hand, and invited several great monks in the field to follow him into the abbot's room of Yanxing Temple, and then removed a cabinet casually, revealing a downward passage.

"Although the sage said that the leak at the last meeting was done by Laojun, you and I both know that this is just an excuse. The highest in this world is no more than an earth immortal, so leaking secrets should be eavesdropping, so this time the old monk boldly chose one. The place that is absolutely safe is a little disrespectful to the great monks."

"It's okay!"

Monk Du Shun nodded, and was the first to go down, and the rest of the big monks followed him in. Monk Ji Zang was the last to enter, and when he went in, he moved the cabinet back.

The passage leads to a place about ten meters underground, in a secret room made of stone slabs!

The secret room was empty except for a few futons on the floor.

Monk Ji Zang sat down on one of the futons first, and the rest of the monks also sat down on the remaining futons in silence.

"Please let the old monk introduce you to Great Monk Zhixi..."

After everyone sat down, Monk Ji Zang nodded to Monk Zhixi and gestured with his hands.

"This is the great monk Fajing of Chengshizong, and the other is the great monk Huiyuan of Jushezong. They are also the great virtues of Chengshizong and Jushezong in Jingzhao. Like the old monk, they both He is one of the 'Ten Virtues'."

"Oh!"

Zhixi nodded to Fajing and Huiyuan.

"It turns out that the two are members of the 'Ten Virtues', no respect, no respect!"

The so-called "Ten Virtues" are the product of His Majesty Li Yuan's Sui Regulations and Tang Sui, who ruled monks with monks.Specifically, His Majesty Li Yuan selected ten eminent monks as monk officials to manage the rest of the monks.

The ten eminent monks are Sengxiu, Facan, Fajing, Jizang, Hongzun, Huiyuan, Fazian, Senghui, Mingmu, Tanqian, etc. They belong to Tiantai, Chengshi, Jushe, Huayan and other northern monks. Most of the Buddhist sects are basically born in Chang'an temples such as Da Chan Ding Temple and Da Xing Shan Temple.

In other words, these monks are all nobles and landlords in northern Buddhism!
At the beginning, Falla wanted to squeeze in, but failed.

In the original history, these ten virtues felt a little drifting after the change of Xuanwumen, and then they encouraged Xiao Yu to give advice to Li Shimin, asking Li Shimin to visit the ten virtues as an emperor to show their respect for Buddhism.

As a result, Li Er was furious, and directly abolished the system of the ten virtues, and took back the management rights of the monks to the Chongxuan Office.

Now in this secret room, Du Shun from Huayan Sect, Fajing from Chengshi Sect, Hui Yuan from Jushe Sect, Zhi Xi from Tiantai Sect, and Ji Zang who just founded Sanlun Sect, it can be said that now the whole aspiring to the North Representatives of the Buddhist sects of faith are already seated here.

"Great monks, the matter is urgent!"

After introducing each other, Monk Ji Zang was the first to speak.

"According to what the old monk learned from the prince, the last time Fu Yi proposed to let me return to secular life, the sage is very moved, and now that King Qin is sitting in Jingzhao, the sage no longer has to worry about the threat of riots from believers..."

As he spoke, Monk Ji Zang turned his head and looked around at the monks present.

"Great monks, if I wait and do nothing, the disaster of Zhou Wu will be in sight!"

"That's right, something has to be done..."

Monk Du Shun twisted the rosary in his hand and said calmly. "The old monk has asked some old relatives and old friends from the lay world to write a letter to explain the benefits and disadvantages to the saint today, and try to delay it."

"In addition to court officials, we also need to make our own voices." Monk Fajing also said. "I think this aspect can be handed over to Monk Falin to take the lead."

"Monk Falin?"

Monk Zhixi asked a little strangely. "Why is he still alive? Didn't you say that you let him sit down?"

"Monk Falin insisted on refusing..."

Monk Ji Zang explained.

"He said that the worst thing is to die. It is his long-cherished wish to sacrifice his life to promote the Dharma. He despises it by feigning death and stealing life. Moreover, the old monk feels that all the great monks who have been discovered should not be allowed to pass away. The saint will inevitably feel embarrassed and leave a Dharma behind. Lin is good too!"

Monk Zhixi nodded with a heavy expression on his face. "Monk Falin really deserves to be the protector of my Buddhist sect..."

"But it doesn't matter whether it's an official letter from the court, or our own contribution..." Monk Huiyuan continued. "...None of them can solve the problem. If today's saint insists on going his own way, what can he do?"

"So we still need to start from the outside."

Monk Zhixi said.

"The empowering monk has already persuaded Zuo Youxian through a certain channel. Didn't the current saint say that the Supreme Master is his ancestor? Then let him take a good look and see if the disciples of the Supreme Master will rebel!"

"That is to say, Jianghuai is about to change?"

The Fajing monk said in an interface.

"If at this time, Jiangzhou and the like in Xiao Xian's territory also change, will the whole Jiangnan change color?"

"The old monk sent a letter to Daoxin, asking Daoxin to find a way to find a way in Jiangzhou, to see if he can encourage Dong Jingzhen's remaining troops to revolt..."

Monk Ji Zang said in a helpless voice.

"...It turned out to be nothing!"

"It's useless to count on Daoxin..."

Monk Fajing pouted.

"Whether it's letting monks and nuns return to lay life, or confiscating the monastery fields, he doesn't care. I heard that he has started to learn from old gardens in Mount Lu. Even if the saint wants to destroy Buddha, can't he not give him a few acres of land to plant? ?”

"The old monk has someone to choose..."

Monk Huiyuan said in a low voice.

"Zhang Minxiu, the right-hand man of Zhang Shan'an, the general manager of Hongzhou, is the Dharma protector of my Jushe sect, so the old monk also knows that Zhang Shan'an is ambitious and always wants to be self-reliant. Perhaps through this person, Zhang Shan'an can be used to follow the assistant public shrine."

"Good, good!"

Monk Zhixi nodded.

"If Zhang Shan'an also followed Fu Gong Er to make an incident, the situation in the Jianghuai area would suddenly change. It's a pity that Li Zitong failed to escape from Chang'an a while ago, otherwise the Jianghuai area will be settled!"

"Not necessarily, Xu Yuanlang can't hold on anymore..."

Monk Du Shun said calmly.

"Within three months, this person will be defeated."

"This matter has already been arranged for the empowerment of the great monk..."

Monk Zhixi said with a face full of wisdom.

"Monk Fashun, don't worry."

"There are also the Gaoliang Feng Xi family in Lingnan, the Qinzhou Ning family, and the Longzhou Chen family..."

Monk Ji Zang twirled the rosary with his hands and said thoughtfully.

"They live in the south of the Five Ridges, so it is impossible for them to surrender sincerely. The old monk had a relationship with Chen Longshu of the Chen family. Now that Chen Longshu is attached to Ning Changzhen, the old monk thinks it should not be difficult to persuade them to stand on their own."

"It's good, although their self-reliance doesn't have much effect, but it's also helpful. But in the end, these are just to stop the boiling water and delay time..."

Monk Zhixi said slowly.

"If you want to completely solve the plight of my Buddhist sect, you have to get rid of the bottom line in the end."

"How do you draw your salary from the bottom of the pot?"

Monk Fajing asked a question.

"Is it really the same as Fa Ya said, change the emperor?"

"If the saint dies, the crown prince will definitely compete with King Qin for the throne. You have all seen King Qin..." Monk Du Shun shook his head. "At that time, it's still unknown who will win the deer's death. Assassination is a bad strategy and should not be done!"

"Not bad!"

Monk Zhixi nodded with a serious face.

"Assassination is unacceptable, but if you want to die alone, you don't have to assassinate."

"Monk Zhixi, what can you do?"

Monk Huiyuan asked another question.

"Today's sages all know...he has a good sex..."

Monk Zhixi said with a serious face.

"So we just need to use Xianggong Pei, Xiao Zhongcheng, etc. to send beautiful women into the palace under the pretext of letting him kill him suddenly, so that his body will be depleted day by day. At that time, a little bit of manipulation in the medicine will be enough to send him a dragon." Yu Bintian, do you think the saint will pass the throne to the crown prince or the king of Qin before he dies?"

Is it actually a beauty trick?
But thinking about the hobbies of today's saints, it seems that this idea is still feasible...

The remaining monks looked at each other and nodded silently.

　Cihang Jingzhai is really powerful. Around the seventh year of Daye, when they called the four great monks to besiege Shi Zhixuan, the word "Dixin" should have been given by Li Er, and then Jingzhai replaced Li Er. Two decades in advance, this title was given to Monk Dushun. Monk Zhiyi died before Emperor Sui Yang ascended the throne. Jingzhai called his ghost out to help catch the evil king.Monk Jiaxiang was still a member of the Fahua School at that time, and he was learning the teachings of Tiantai religion under the initiation of Master Zhiyi's disciples. Then Jing Zhai established the new Sanlun School for him, making him also the head master.At that time, Daoxin of the Zen sect was praying for rain and curing the plague in Qichun County, so he had to get away to hunt down the evil king when he was so busy... The influence of Jingzhai in Buddhism can be described as a promise!
