The abbot has long heard of Zhu Yili's "domineering and unreasonableness".

He had already vaguely felt that as long as Zhu Yili intervened, the problem would become unpredictable.

However, what he didn't expect was that Empress Dowager Li, who had been adhering to the national affairs for ten years on behalf of Emperor Wanli, was a very independent woman.

Moreover, he did hear that.

But in fact, when Zhu Yili opened his mouth, Empress Dowager Li did not refute any more except scolding her, saying he was careful not to speak without restraint.

Not only that.

The abbot also specifically observed that no matter what Zhu Yili said, Empress Dowager Li nodded in agreement.

This made the abbot feel that his suggestion to "revitalize Buddhism" would not be adopted by Empress Dowager Li.

Originally, Empress Dowager Li said she would make a long-term plan.

After Zhu Yili's disturbance, the abbot felt that what he said today was useless and would be silly.

But the abbot was unwilling to give up. Empress Dowager Li was obviously very interested and listened with relish, otherwise she wouldn't have urged him to continue talking before she had eaten dinner.

Now that things have come to this point, the abbot decided to have to bite the bullet and argue with Zhu Yili, to see if this can win back Empress Dowager Li's heart. Otherwise, the words that are so hearty today will be in vain and tears will be in vain.

In view of this, the abbot asked: "Empress Dowager Cisheng believed in the Buddhist sect, but I don't know what Prince Lu believed in?"

"Believe in science and truth." Zhu Yiliu replied in this way, and he didn't care whether the abbot could understand it.

Anyway, the abbot didn't plan to understand and replied: "No matter what Prince Lu believes in, I think that each of us believes in everything is our own right. Don't object to others believing in that just because you believe in this, right?"

"That's of course," Zhu Yiliu said, "As long as we do not violate social morality and our own conscience, each of us believes in everything, just like an old monk who believes in Buddhism and I believe in science and truth, but I will not force you to believe in science and truth as much as me, and you cannot force me or others to believe in Buddhism as you."

"But I didn't force anyone!" The abbot looked aggrieved.

"Why didn't it? You asked my mother to persuade the emperor to restore and rebuild the destroyed temple. Isn't that the same as advocating the Buddhist sect to make the people in the world like you?"

"I didn't say that!" The abbot felt even more wronged and tried his best to defend himself.

But Zhu Yili refused to rely on it and continued, "Although you didn't say that, as the saying goes, the upward action is effective. If my mother and the emperor support it, isn't that the same as telling and even induced people all over the world to believe in Buddhism?"

"The Empress Dowager is a firm believer in the Buddhist sect. Does Prince Lu hate Buddhism like this?"

Zhu Yili was a little displeased when he heard this, and he countered rudely: "You old monk, looking at you, how come you take things out of context and like to put them on people's hats? I only said that I believe in science and truth, and when did I say I hate Buddhism? I admit that Buddhism is profound and profound, but it is not suitable for praise at this stage."

"Why?"

"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew and lightning. You should observe this way and give birth to your mind because of no dwelling on anything. Is this the doctrine of the Buddha's sect?"

The abbot was stunned and felt a little incredible. In his impression, Zhu Yiliu was an uncontrollable master, and he actually understood the teachings of the Buddhist sect?

Indeed, this is the soul of the Diamond Sutra, which can be regarded as the doctrine of the Buddha's sect.

But then I thought about it that Zhu Yili was the son of Empress Dowager Li, and Empress Dowager Li loved her son so much, it was not surprising that Zhu Yili knew something.

Zhu Yiliu continued: "In a word, the Buddha School attaches importance to self-cultivation, and to understand its true meaning, it also requires a higher level of cultivation. I just said that relying on the Buddha School cannot solve practical problems, at least at this stage. Although the world is peaceful now, most people still live in hard life. If they are like Nian Yonghuan, how meaningful is it to make them believe in Buddhism? Instead of spending money and energy to promote the Buddha School, it is better to teach people how to make money and live a good life. Believing in Buddhism is only spiritual. Only when you become rich in material terms can you make spiritual sense."

Zhu Yili's words are actually not difficult to understand, but because of the relationship between "spirit" and "matter", it seems so transcendent. After all, it is still so new to people in this world.

Not to mention the people in this world, even in a few hundred years, in the twenty-first century when Marxism-Leninism has become popular, there are still many people who cannot understand it.

The abbot was silent.

Empress Dowager Li was also silent.

Including Empress Chen, Chen Ju and Zhang Dashou, they all fell into deep thought.

I once again saw Zhu Yiliu's "outlier".

No matter how much you understand the proper nouns, such as science, spirit, and material things, I just feel that Zhu Yiliu's words are reasonable:

If a person is not full or warm in food, what is the point of telling them what he believes?

Only by first solving the problem of life or survival can we talk about what to believe.

The truth that Zhu Yiliu talked about is simple and not very profound. Of course they understand it.

What I don’t understand is why Zhu Yili knows so much at a young age, and speaks very well.

Seeing that he was silent, Zhu Yiliu continued: "It is understandable whether you believe in Buddhism or Taoism. After all, you have not taught people to do bad things, but instead let people do good and cultivate. But for the common people in the world, it is really not important to believe in Buddhism or Taoism. As the upper class of society, we should let them live a good life as the right way. So how can we live a good life? Simply put, it is to let them have enough disposable money in their hands. I don't think it is necessary to revitalize Buddhism or Taoism."

Zhu Yili stopped and became quiet in an instant, as if no one dared to speak.

For Zhu Yiliu, this is just about the theoretical level, and there is no truth in the truth.

If it weren't for Empress Dowager Li, he would like to ask the abbot: Do you know the current situation of Empress Dowager Li? It seems that Empress Dowager Li is still in charge of the family.

She has been no longer in charge of the family for a while, and she is no longer the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is

But even if she agreed to restore and rebuild the once destroyed temple, would Emperor Wanli agree?

The abbot of Lingzang Guanyin Temple seemed to have no idea about the situation in front of Empress Dowager Li.

"Mother, mom, let's have a meal first, the child is already hungry."

Seeing that everyone continued to remain silent, Zhu Yili had to stand up and say.

"Okay, okay, eat first, eat first." Chen Ju immediately echoed.

Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li both nodded, but still did not recover.

Especially the abbot seemed to be dreaming about the clouds. I'm afraid he had forgotten that he was the master here and he wanted to entertain guests at this time.

"Master of the Abbot." Chen Ju had no choice but to shout.

"Oh, oh, here, here." The abbot then woke up and hurriedly led a group of people to have a meal, but Zhu Yili's words were still circling in his mind.

The same is true for everyone else.

Just Empress Dowager Li, who is very familiar with Zhu Yili, was also thinking about what Zhu Yili said just now... It seemed very profound, but it seemed not the case. Well, I could only ask carefully after the meal.

Empress Dowager Li thought to herself.

Although she is no longer in power, she must take it seriously when she says it from Zhu Yiliu.
