Lao Zhu stroked his beard and said slowly: "How about I say something?"
"Please give me your Majesty's instructions..." Han Du and Zong Lu said in unison, and both looked at Lao Zhu, waiting for his holy will.
Lao Zhu glanced at the two men on both sides, and then said slowly: "Han Du, give this Journey to the West to Xiucai Li."
Zong Lai didn't look happy at all after hearing this, because he knew that since he had collected Han Du's books, the temple's land would not be preserved. Of course, this was also within his expectation. After all, taking back the temple fields would do little for Han Du himself.
It has no impact, but it is of great benefit to the court.
How could the emperor miss such a golden opportunity?
Han Du smiled and nodded after hearing this.
Lao Zhu saw that Zong Lai looked a little bad, so he continued: "Of course, it is not necessary to take back all the temple's land. How much temple land does Tianjie Temple have now?"
When Zong Lai heard that there was a turning point, he did not dare to neglect the emperor's greetings, and quickly replied: "Back to the emperor, it is 2,176 acres."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu nodded and said: "Then I will limit it to three thousand acres. Tianjie Temple only needs to have no more than three thousand acres of land. Other temples will also follow the same example. Of course, in the future, the construction of temples will also be like Duuliao.
Strict management and no temples can be built without permission."
"The poor monk thanks the Emperor for your kindness." Zong Li quickly clasped his hands together and leaned down to bow.
"Get flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zong Li stood up and looked at Han Du with a smile.
Han Du looked at Lao Zhu speechlessly and said nothing. He had been busy with his feelings for a long time, but in the end, he worked in vain. Lao Zhu still felt soft...
He didn't expect that Lao Zhu, who had always been decisive in killing, would be soft-hearted, which surprised Han Du. Lao Zhu never showed any mercy when facing the brothers who followed him in life and death. How could his subordinates be so soft-hearted when facing Buddhism?
Show mercy?
Could it be...
Han Du suddenly thought of an explanation. That is, Lao Zhu's experience in Huangjue Temple must have occupied an important position in his heart. Otherwise, in the situation just now, Lao Zhu would not have
Maybe let go.
However, during the time Lao Zhu was in Huangjue Temple, no one knew what happened except him.
Zong Long looked at Han Du with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "I wonder if you can give this to the poor monk?"
Han Du was naturally unwilling to give it. In this case, it was equivalent to saying that he had not even gotten a hair out of his book. How could Han Du, who had always been determined not to suffer losses, be willing to give it up?
Zong Li didn't care about that. Seeing that Han Du was holding the book and refusing to hand it over, he reached out to grab it. With a twist, he broke away from Han Du's hand and easily put the book into the monk's robe.
"No, I can't give you this. You can send someone to copy a set and return this to me." Han Du reached out and went to get it.
But Han Du was Zong Lu's opponent, and Zong Lu just avoided Han Du by turning sideways.
"Just leave this copy here with the poor monk. Master Han remembers to send the rest to Tianjie Temple as well. As for Master Han who wants to keep one set, he will naturally hold it with both hands after Tianjie Temple prints out one set.
superior."
After saying that, he ignored Han Du at all. Zong Lai turned to bow to Lao Zhu and said: "This matter is important. I need to discuss it with the abbots. Please forgive me for resigning."
Although under the emperor's conditions, the temple has not suffered any losses. But after all, there are restrictions on the temple land. Although Zong Lai is the leader of the Buddhist sect in the world, he still has to discuss it with other sects. If nothing else, it is just the capital.
He needs to convince Linggu Second Temple to repay his kindness first.
After hearing this, Lao Zhu said: "There is no urgency in this matter, just do it slowly." He waved his hand and asked Zong Li to retreat.
After Zong Li left, Lao Zhu turned to look at Han Du and said with a smile: "You have made another great contribution."
Han Du was still brooding over Lao Zhu's soft-heartedness, and said angrily to himself: "What kind of contribution have you made? I have been busy for a long time, but in the end I have gained nothing. It is like working in vain."
Lao Zhu naturally knew why Han Du said that he was busy in vain, but he refused to explain to Han Du. Instead, his face darkened and he asked sternly: "You have something like Journey to the West, how can you take it out? Although I have been suppressing Buddhism now
, but after these years of peace, there are already signs of prosperity. If they rely on Journey to the West to influence more people to lean toward Buddhism, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Han Du was stunned. The speed of Lao Zhu's change of attitude was simply faster than that of a woman. And didn't you ask me to hand over Journey to the West to Zong Di just now? If it hadn't been for you to make the decision, Zong Di might not have taken it until now.
arrive.
However, who made Lao Zhu the emperor? If it is your fault, it is your fault, and it is also your fault if it is not.
Han Du had no choice but to smile and explain: "Wei Chen is confident about this, they will not succeed."
"Oh? Why." Lao Zhu had indeed been worried about this just now. If it is true as Han Du said, Buddhism tried its best to mold the golden body into the hearts of the people. If the people all over the world fall to Buddhism, then this world
Isn't it going to change?
Seeing Han Du's calm face now, Lao Zhu's worries were temporarily put aside.
"Putting a golden body into the hearts of the people may seem very reasonable at first glance, but it is actually just a high-sounding nonsense on the surface." Han Du explained coldly.
After hearing this, Lao Zhu lowered his head and thought for a moment. I also think this sentence is very good, very wonderful, and very reasonable. How can it be nonsense?
Seeing that Lao Zhu didn't understand, Han Du had no choice but to continue explaining: "The emperor should know that the human heart is the most complicated thing in the world. If you want to mold the golden body into the hearts of the people in the world, it is no less difficult than going to the West to give the golden body of Buddha to the world.
It is simply impossible to ask people to come down. Take Journey to the West as an example. It doesn’t need to be many people. As long as a thousand people have read it, then the impression of Journey to the West will be completely different in the minds of a thousand people. I want to
To put all of these together is a fantasy and impossible.”
When Lao Zhu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He also felt that what Han Du said was reasonable. If a thousand people read the same book, they would have a thousand different feelings. Two people's understanding of the same book is completely different.
, tit-for-tat is not impossible.
By then, let alone all of us falling in love with Buddhism, it would be good if there would be no war between the two sides.
At this time, Lao Zhu realized it. It turned out that this kid had no good intentions from the beginning to the end, and was digging a hole for Zong Di. Regardless of whether Zong Di agreed or not, he was the one who suffered in the end.
