Chapter 453: Li 2 has a cool heart!

"Weichen follow the order~!"

Li Zexuan grinned, he was selling criticism in his heart, resisting the urge

to complain, bowed and said.

"Hmm~!"

Li Er nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps other kings would kill the unknown and

new things indiscriminately. But as a pioneering holy lord, Li Er, the first

thing he thought of was not killing, but Li Zexuan. The usefulness of learning

has developed to the extreme.

As for whether Li Zexuan would threaten his rule, Li Er had never worried

about this. He had confidence in himself, and he had confidence in his

courtiers and generals.

The only thing that disappointed him was that the magical world Li Zexuan was

talking about was not the immortal world, so does there exist immortals~?

Li Zexuan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing we

can be sure of, that is, there are absolutely no so-called gods in the nine

heavens. Above the ten thousand-foot sky is a vast expanse of space, and there

are countless earth-like planets floating in the space. Dream In the world in

China, their technology can reach places hundreds of thousands of miles away

from the ground, so the Weichen is sure that there are no real immortals in

the sky~!"

Li Er looked ugly and said: "Really so~?"

"It's true~!"

Li Zexuan saw that Li Er seemed unwilling to give up on seeking immortality,

so he continued:

"The master has exhausted his entire life in pursuing the immortal way. In the

end, he got nothing, and he still died. Before his death, his old man once

said to the minister: The world wants to live forever. From the king to the

ordinary people, the extension of life is the deepest dream, but I don't know

that longevity itself is the biggest joke.

Buddhism demands nirvana, Taoism demands inaction. Confucianism seeks to seek

justice and achieve the same goal by different paths. In the end, it is to

turn people into stones. Turtles live longer because of slowness, trees live

longer because they don’t move, and only stones last forever.

Destroying human desires, extinct relationships, breaking five senses,

obstructing listening, is this still human? I don't know the cold and heat, I

don't know the smell and smell, I don't know right from wrong, there is no

sense of family, no concept of family, no joy, no sorrow and joy, what is the

difference from dead wood?

The reason why people are different from beasts is that we have thinking, know

etiquette, know family affection, can work, can create, can transform the

world, and also create the world, so that all things in the world can be used

by me. This is human duty.

Surpassing one's own abilities in an vain attempt to pursue illusory

longevity, but I don't know that there is an arrangement in heaven. If you

want to live long, you have to turn into a stone, but the world is ridiculous

as a moth to the fire! "

Yan Lide and Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly praised

Li Zexuan for general knowledge and rationality. They felt that at this point,

with so much evidence, Li Er shouldn't think too much about Immortal Dao

Changsheng~?

Facts have proved that it is true. After listening to a long passage of Li

Zexuan, Li Er's heart was cold. He was silent for a while before he sighed

faintly and said: "Previously recorded in your "Journey to the West" Gods,

Buddhas and ghosts are fabricated~?"

Li Zexuan was taken aback, saying that Li Er suppressed Buddhism, but he did

not expect that he would read this kind of "rebellious" novels. Previously, Li

Zexuan did not print the "Journey to the West" as a book for sale, mainly

because of Li Erdui. The attitude of Buddhism, he was worried for a while that

Li Er would look for him to settle accounts after seeing this novel, but he

did not expect that Li Er not only "secretly" finished reading it, but did not

trouble him.

In fact, he thought about it too much.

Later generations circulated that Li Er suppressed Buddhism and emphasized

Taoism, mainly because Li Jiazun Lao Zi Li Er was the ancestor, and praised

Taoism for the orthodoxy and sacredness of the Tang Dynasty imperial power.

But in fact, Li Er did not have much hatred of Buddhism. On the contrary, the

whole The Li family has many connections with Buddhism.

Li Er's boyhood was the period when Buddhism became popular throughout the

country. At that time, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang and

his sons believed in Buddhism, "The people of the world are popular and admire

each other. Folk Buddhist scriptures are dozens of times more than the six

sutras."

The influence of Buddhism has widely penetrated into all social strata and all

aspects of social life. At that time, worshipping Buddhism had become a common

practice both inside and outside the court. Of course, the noble family of Li

is no exception.

In the second year of Daye, nine-year-old Li Er suffered from eye diseases. Li

Yuan personally went to Chang'an Caotang Temple to worship Buddha for

blessing. After Li Er's illness recovered, Li Yuan built a stone Buddha and

sent it to the temple for worship. These have to be imprinted in Li Eryou's

heart. Later, he never forgot the experience of his childhood, and he

personally wrote poems to praise Kumarajiva, the founder of Caotang Temple, to

express his respect and memory of the former monks.

In the early days of the Li family’s respect for Buddhism, it can also be seen

from the nicknames of Li Yuan’s sons. Li Jiancheng’s nickname is Bishamen, and

Li Yuanji’s nickname is Sanhu. These are all names related to Buddhist

culture, although Li Er’s nicknames are in the history books. There is no

relevant record, but it is certain that it is also related to Buddhism.

In the third year of Wude, Li Er, who was still the King of Qin, was ordered

to fight against Wang Shichong and fought in Songluo the following year.

Thirteen monks such as Zhicao, Huiyan, and Tanzong who were stationed in the

fief of Baiguzhuang of Shaolin Temple captured Zheng General Wang

Renze~www.mtlnovel.com~ and presented them to the Tang Army. Li Shimin took

advantage of the momentum to defeat Wang Shichong, this is the famous thirteen

stick monks Because of the incident of saving the king of Tang, Li Er had a

good impression of Shaolin Temple and Buddhism.

However, during the Xuanwu Gate change, Buddhism secretly assisted Li

Jiancheng, which made Li Er very annoyed afterwards, and felt a little

disgusting with Buddhism. At the beginning of Li Tang’s founding, he once

respected Lao Zi as the ancestor, Li Er simply proposed The policy of "Tao

First and Buddha" was adopted.

But so far he has not issued any decree that clearly targets Buddhism. In the

Tang Dynasty, the Li family pursued a policy of coexisting Confucianism,

Buddhism, and Taoism. Li Er was the founder of this policy.

"Uh~! Back to your majesty, the plot in "Journey to the West" is indeed

fabricated out of thin air~! I hope that your majesty will not take it to

heart. After all, seeking immortality is just a illusory delusion~!"

Li Zexuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and arched his hands.

"That's it~! I'm here to see how your academy is preparing today, but I'm not

here to discuss something with you."

Li Er shook his hand eagerly and said, only then did he notice the huge sand

table in the house, he glanced roughly, and suddenly surprised: "Li Zexuan,

what is this~?"

Previously, he and Empress Changsun had only heard Li Zexuan's description of

dreams outside the door, but had not heard the academy drawings that Li Zexuan

and Yan Lide had previously said.

Li Zexuan was scolding Li Er as shameless in his heart. The forceful

explanation just now was no one. At this time, when he heard Li Er's question,

he replied:

"Your Majesty, this is the Yanhuang Academy designed by Weichen. Then I will

trouble Yan Shangshu to send some skilled craftsmen to build on the Yunshan

Mountain in Meicun~!"
