Li Kuan was called to Daming Palace by Li Shimin.

During this period, the Chu Palace has caused quite a lot of trouble.

Especially recently, the sensitive cases that have attracted the attention of everyone inside and outside the court and the country were handled by the Chu King Party.

"Kun'er, now everyone thinks that 'laughing torture' was created by you. The eyes of your eyes have changed. Are you not afraid that everyone will be afraid of you then?"

When Li Shimin talks to Li Kuan, he no longer needs to consider any words, and he says whatever he thinks.

To be honest, he actually didn't believe it when he heard that the power of "laughing punishment" was so powerful.

For this purpose, he even asked someone to prepare honey and lamb specifically and asked Lanhe to experiment.

Lan He became incontinent in less than ten minutes, which refreshed Li Shimin's understanding of the power of this gentle punishment.

"Your Majesty, maintaining the majesty of the "Da Tang Law" does not rely solely on a single code; we must make everyone realize that violating the "Da Tang Law" will not be able to escape punishment no matter what method you use."

At this time, Li Kuan did not need everyone to support him and praise him.

That's not helping yourself, that's digging a hole for yourself.

As for whether you are afraid or not, it doesn't matter.

Only strong people will be afraid of them.

"I support your approach, but recently many eminent monks in Chang'an City have raised some doubts about you, either openly or secretly. It seems that Di Renjie's approach to surround Ximing Temple is to take the account on your head."

The number of monks is nothing if it is placed among more than one million people in Chang'an City.

However, behind these monks, they often have close relationships with some pilgrims and have an extraordinary influence on some princes and nobles.

Although it is difficult for others to deal with you directly, there are actually many ways to disgust you and cause trouble for you.

Obviously, this time someone came out to disgust Li Kuan.

You know, don’t look at others’ attitude of not asking about the world, but actually you can see the problem very clearly.

Although they couldn't say anything directly about Di Renjie's approach, they did eventually catch the murderer from Ximing Temple.

But behind this incident, the monks saw that a group of figures in the Chu Palace lacked awe of monks.

But the influence of the Chu Prince's Mansion is very great, and they are afraid that this will cause a bad idea for everyone.

"Your Majesty, I happened to have a proposal today, which is closely related to these temple monks."

"Oh? What proposal?"

"Although Buddhism was not particularly long to be introduced into our Central Plains, it has a history of hundreds of years. In addition, their development has been particularly rapid. If the court does not control it, in time, more and more land will become the land of temples, and more and more people will become monks. Under their instigation, more and more people will believe in Buddhism will inevitably become more and more people. After all, people pay attention to "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." No matter how much sin you committed before, as long as you enter the temple, everything will be eliminated. At that time, these temples will definitely become places where dirt is hidden."

Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, Li Kuan definitely does not support it.

If you want to support affirmation, support Guanshishan Academy’s “science”.

However, considering the huge influence of Buddhism and Taoism, Li Kuan must not simply say that he does not support it, and then Li Shimin will listen to him to arrange some things.

Only by clearly describing their adverse impact on the development of the Tang Dynasty can we truly gain Li Shimin's support.

"Although there are many temples in Chang'an City, monks generally abide by the rules and regulations, study Buddhism carefully, and rarely hear rumors of their troubles. Kuan'er, isn't your statement a bit exaggerated?"

Li Shimin is also a nostalgic person. When the monks from Shaolin Temple helped the Tang Dynasty, he always remembered this kindness in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this is the most confusing thing about Buddhism. It seems that they are all urging people to be kind and live a life without fighting against the world, which is good for the court to stabilize social control. In fact, this is not the case at all. Whether it is Ximing Temple or Fahua Temple, a large amount of "scented oil money" will be received under each temple every day, and the Buddha statues inside are made of magnificent. Moreover, the number of fertile fields under the names of various temples is now increasing. Many nobles donated a large amount of money and land to show their sincerity to the Buddha. The court does not impose taxes on the land owned by the temple, and does not impose any taxes on monks.

Weichen heard that some people have begun to voluntarily donate their fertile fields to the temple, but in fact they are still farming themselves, and only need to pay a certain amount of food to the temple every year. In this way, they not only avoided the taxes from the court, but also became people in the temple, achieving a win-win result, and only the court is the victim. Although there is only one sign of this kind of thing at present, once other people see the court's indulgence on such things, more and more people will follow suit. Especially in the future, if the tax payment becomes more and more people will imitate it."

Li Kuan knew very well how crazy it was when Buddhism had the greatest influence in history.

The imperial court's majesty is still there, its control is still relatively strong, and the harm may not be seen.

But who can guarantee that the Tang Dynasty will always last?

"Is there such a thing?"

Li Shimin is a smart person, so he naturally understands the harm of this matter as soon as he hears it.

"Your Majesty can ask the Baiqisi to investigate in detail. Many temples will have this situation more or less. Moreover, since being a monk in a temple can lead to a good life, many poor people will consider becoming monks when they are desperate, which not only solves the problem of eating, but also allows them to live a life of food and clothing without worries. However, this will not only lead to a decrease in the population of taxes in the Tang Dynasty, but will also bring about a tight employment situation for the development of our workshops."

Many monks in the temple are strong laborers. It would be a waste to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha all day long.

This is not the situation Li Kuan hopes to see.

"Is this happening to Taoist temples?"

Seeing that Li Kuan mentioned the situation of the temple so seriously, Li Shimin immediately thought of the various Taoist temples that the Tang Dynasty royal family had always supported.

"It's all the same, but Taoist theories are less attractive than those of the people. They are more likely to be some small wealthy businessmen or nobles, so the harm to the Tang Dynasty will be smaller."

Taoism is officially supported by Li Tang, and Li Kuan will not just get involved in Buddhism and Taoism at the same time, as it is completely adding pressure to himself.

After all, in history, even the year with the most powerful development of Taoism, it has not reached the influence of Buddhism.

It is really the theoretical system of Taoism and the means to demagogue people, which is not as good as that of Buddhism.
