Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Shenzhi never dreamed that he would be appointed as the pastor of the Jingzhao Prefecture. He was a third-grade civil servant, extremely noble. He was not a Jinshi, let alone famous. I don¡¯t know why the emperor would go against all the opinions and let him serve as the pastor of the Jingzhao Palace.  Zhaofu Mu, so after taking office, Wang Shenzhi worked hard and did not dare to slack off. Within half a year, the surrounding area of ??the capital was in order, the ruffians almost disappeared without a trace, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and prosperity appeared, which made Wang  Shenzhi began to receive praise from many officials, and everyone was impressed by the emperor's wisdom and talent.  But Wang Shenzhi has encountered trouble recently.  The trouble comes from Famen Temple.  Famen Temple is not far from the capital and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Prefecture. Master Xuanzhi, the abbot of Famen Temple, proposed that the emperor would send representatives to Famen Temple every year to make wishes and pray for the well-being of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne,  Famen Temple is willing to hold a grand Buddhist ceremony to pray for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.  Wang Shenzhi didn't pay attention at first, feeling that Master Xuanzhi's tone was too loud. Why would a monk care so much about the affairs of the emperor and the court? However, someone later reminded him that the emperor's father, King Wei, was a lay disciple of Famen Temple and the crown prince's guardian.  , Grand Governor, and General of the Iron Blood Army Gao Chibang was once the Zhizang of Famen Temple. This surprised Wang Shenzhi, and then he understood why Master Xuanzhi would make such a request.  Although he has only been appointed as the shepherd of the Jingzhao Prefecture for half a year, Wang Shen knows how to assess the situation and already knows the emperor's temper. Do not brag about flattery. If you have any ideas or matters, just say them directly in front of the emperor.  The position of the shepherd of the Jingzhao Prefecture is very special. According to the system set by the Zhengshitang, there is no need to attend the morning court every day. The morning court should be attended once every five days. If there is anything that needs to be reported.  Then you can report to the Political Affairs Hall and participate in the morning court at any time.  Wang Shenzhi was very cautious about the request made by Master Xuanzhi, the director of Famen Temple, and did not respond immediately. He was not prepared to talk about it in the morning, so as not to have a dispute in the morning, in case the emperor had feelings for Famen Temple.  If he was grateful, then he had not handled the matter well. He finally decided to write a memorial directly and report the matter to the emperor.  This is two different concepts from flattery.  From the perspective of being loyal to the emperor, Wang Shenzhi wrote the memorial. He also put forward opinions in the memorial that the Buddhist ritual of praying for blessings in Famen Temple could be done, and suggested that the imperial court send officials to participate to show its importance.  Wang Shenzhi received the notice just after noon after submitting the memorial in the morning and rushed to Zichen Hall quickly.  Wang Shenzhi was filled with emotions.  The efficiency of the emperor's work is probably unprecedented. In just two hours, this matter will be discussed.  This was something that was impossible to imagine before.  After entering the Zichen Hall, Wang Shenzhi saw Cui Anqian, Zheng Congdan, Liu Yunzhang, Gao Chibang, Qian Shiqu, Yu Chenghui, Cui Shenyou and other prime ministers all in the Zichen Hall, as well as Yan Fu, the Minister of War, Ma Haoxuan, the Minister of Punishment, Kan Zeyu, the Minister of Industry, and  Li Jie, the imperial censor, and others.  It's all here.  Li Jie's appointment as imperial censor also exceeded many people's expectations. Li Jie was the longevity king.  As a prince, he was able to be appointed by the emperor as a censor, which shows that the emperor still values ??the royal family.  Of course no one would know that if it weren¡¯t for Li Rupei¡¯s time travel, this Li Jie would have changed his name to Li Ye, and would later become Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty.  Seeing such a formation, Wang Shenzhi was greatly surprised. After entering the Zichen Hall, he quickly paid homage to the emperor.  "Wang Shijun, I have read your memorial. Today I have summoned officials from Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, Six Ministries and Yushitai to discuss it. I just want to express my attitude towards Buddhism." "  During the reign of Emperor Yizong, the imperial court attached great importance to Buddhism. It had to collect Buddha's bones many times, which cost a lot of money and encountered opposition from many ministers. The Tang Dynasty has always attached great importance to Buddhism. There are many such things. You may have heard a lot.  Regarding the matter of Famen Temple, I wrote the memorial very carefully. I appreciate your attitude in handling the matter very much. You have done a good job in Jingzhao Mansion. You are conscientious and have been recognized by the Political Affairs Hall and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. I  I'm happy for you and hope you can stick with it." Wang Shenzhi quickly thanked him again.  "Mr. Gao Ge, you have the most say in this matter. Tell me your opinion." Gao Chibang has been prepared for a long time. He once became a monk at Famen Temple and has an unusual relationship with Master Xuanzhi, who presides over it. For such a thing, the Emperor  I will definitely ask for his opinion. After so many years and too many fights, Gao Chibang's understanding of Buddhism has undergone tremendous changes. It is completely different from before. Besides, he is a monk halfway and is not a true Buddhist.  He is a disciple, so his understanding will not be particularly rigid.  "Your Majesty, I believe that the Tang Dynasty has always attached great importance to Buddhism. I also became a monk at Famen Temple. Many princes and ministers in the capital also had their ordination at Famen Temple."?I became a lay disciple of Famen Temple. Due to the unstable situation in recent years, Famen Temple was once in danger of being persecuted. Now that the world is at peace, Master Xuanzhi, the host of Famen Temple, hopes to revitalize Buddhism. Such feelings are understandable, but this is an important event. Pray for blessings.  The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was a bit excessive. I believe that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was the result of the emperor's hard work and the efforts of the civil and military ministers. Besides, the emperor advocated frugality. If large-scale Buddhist rituals were held, it would be very expensive.  It does not conform to the imperial system.  .  .  ¡± Everyone was very surprised. Li Jie, the imperial censor, had long been prepared to directly admonish him. If the emperor supported Famen Temple in conducting such a large-scale ritual, he would definitely oppose it. In fact, if such a matter was brought to the court,  If we go to discuss it, many censors will definitely oppose it. However, Gao Chibang has such an attitude, and Zheng Yanchang has nothing to say. It is impossible to abolish Buddhism. This is definitely not suitable for Li Jie to be the censor.  He was not mentally prepared. I remember that when the edict came down, he was dizzy for several days, but within a short period of time, he sank into the Capital Yushitai and began to perform his duties.  He has a special status, as he is the emperor's uncle and a prince, so he is ruthless when it comes to supervision. He dares to point out any inappropriate things and even dares to directly remonstrate. After Gao Chibang finished speaking, the emperor spoke.  , Yushitai is the supervisory department, what do you think about this matter?  " Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and then spoke quickly. "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect that Elder Gaoge would have such an opinion. I was originally prepared to oppose Famen Temple for such a grand ritual. I agree with Elder Gaoge's opinion and agree.  Wang Shijun proposed that the scale of the ritual at Famen Temple should not be too large, and the court could send officials to participate.  " "Then who do you think the court will send to participate in this ritual?  " "I haven't thought about this yet.  " Li Rupei looked at the crowd and spoke with a serious face. " Famen Temple is preparing to hold a large-scale religious ceremony to pray for the Tang Dynasty. Such matters should have been discussed and discussed at the court meeting, and the final decision was made by the Political Affairs Hall. Wang Envoy  You considered many circumstances and wrote a memorial directly to me. This shows that many people in the court view Famen Temple in a different light. They always think that Famen Temple has an unusual relationship with the court, and even has an extraordinary relationship with me.  relationship, that¡¯s why we have such a view.  " "I don't want to deny the relationship with Famen Temple. My father, the king, was once a lay disciple of Famen Temple. Gao Ge Lao once became a monk in Famen Temple. There are also many princes who are all lay disciples of Famen Temple. I have great respect for Buddha.  There is also some understanding of family matters. Buddhism advocates being kind to others and saving all sentient beings. This is in line with the requirements of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. But what I want to emphasize today is that we cannot just because of the extraordinary relationship between Famen Temple and me.  I have a lot of concerns about our relationship, and I don¡¯t want this kind of situation to happen in the future.  " "I have long said that the royal family is selfless, whether it is my business or the Queen's business, as long as there is something that does not comply with the rules, I must directly remonstrate. I am not a saint, I will also covet comfort, and I will indulge my relatives and relatives.  Royal family, if there is no advice and I am greedy for pleasure, it will harm the world of the Tang Dynasty.  " "As for the matter of Famen Temple, I think it should be done according to the rules. The Political Affairs Hall will put forward specific suggestions for handling it today and implement it according to the suggestions. What I need to emphasize is that enough is enough. I will not respect Buddhism. In my heart  What comes to mind is the world of the Tang Dynasty. Anything that is conducive to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity of the people, and the stability of the world is what I insist on. When discussing matters in the political hall, you must also keep this rule in mind. Everything is from the world.  Starting from the perspective of rise and fall.  " Li Rupei did not directly put forward any opinions on how to deal with it, but he has made his attitude clear. That kind of respect for Buddhism will definitely not happen. As for Famen Temple being the first Buddhist temple to be persuaded, this is still affirmed. After all, Famen Temple  The temple held religious ceremonies to pray for the Tang Dynasty. This matter was not prohibited. Everyone was very quiet and listened to the emperor's words. They generally felt that the emperor was a little harsh on themselves, every day.  It's so hard and everything in the world has to be concerned about, not to mention that the vassal town has not been destroyed, and the Turks are also ready to move. There are so many things in the mind, and it is impossible to relax. Of course, the atmosphere in the court is also very serious.  It has completely changed in a short period of time. The emperor works so hard every day. The officials in the court have nothing to say. After Cui Anqian thanked everyone on behalf of everyone, he prepared to leave the Emperor's Palace.  Cui Anqian opened his mouth and asked Li Jie, the imperial censor, to stay while the others went about their own affairs. Cui Anqian looked at Li Jie and found that Li Jie was slightly nervous. It should be said that this was the first time the emperor had summoned Li Jie alone since he took office.  , no wonderJie felt nervous.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
