Everyone was waiting for Xuanzang to express his opinion, and the prime ministers wished they could come over and instill some words of state affairs into him.

No!

Xuanzang was very busy, which is well known. He was busy translating scriptures, and no one could do anything.

But under this situation... look at the monks and the believers.

This is a pile of firewood, and a raging fire can be set off just by waiting for a spark.

On the outside, Wang Sheng said comfortably: "We are waiting in the court, and they are there outside, the emperor..."

"Silence!" Lu Shunyi said coldly: "You are so proud that you will be careful to bring disaster to the Wang family."

The emperor still holds the army now, and if he really wants to force him to fight to the death, he would dare to attack with a bold blow and wipe out all the aristocratic families before he fell down.

Therefore, the relationship between emperors and aristocratic families is very strange. On the one hand, it is used and on the other hand, it is on guard... When the two sides form a balance, it is the honeymoon period, and the oil is mixed in honey!

But after the balance was broken... For example, during the pre-Sui Yang Guang period, Yang Guang was ambitious to control the Great Sui Dynasty, but the family members refused to block the road, so the balance was broken, and the Great Sui Dynasty also died in the second lifetime.

The emperors of the Tang Dynasty became much smarter. On the one hand, they used aristocratic families, but the late emperor had his own set of troops. After supporting him, a new balance was formed again, so the Zhenguan rule was achieved.

Aristocratic families can despise the emperor, but you cannot challenge the emperor's bottom line, as this will break the balance.

Wang Sheng bowed, "I have lost my composure."

"Let's watch the fun." Lu Shunyi took a deep breath, feeling extremely comfortable.

Xuanzang said slowly: "Buddhism is vast and saves all living beings. When we become monks, we must practice ourselves, study Buddhism hard, and spread Buddhism... Many years ago, the monks did not have any magnificent temples when they spread Buddhism. They borrowed the houses of believers. Even in a simple place, they were happy and had a bright heart. Today..."

He turned to look at Dacien Temple, "Today we live in a prosperous place. Is this a place outside or a worldly place? If it is a place outside, can we have the idea of ​​cultivating our own body?"

He looked at everyone.

Some people raised their heads, some people looked down and didn't dare to look at him...

"Someone once told me that Fangwai people are also human beings. As long as they eat, drink, defecate, they cannot get rid of greed and anger, and they cannot get rid of ordinary desires. I don't agree. But recently someone told me that Fangwai has gathered countless land, houses and people, but that's the case?"

The monks were stunned.

Xu Jingzong whispered: "What the mage said is wrong!"

Li Jie shook his head, "Listen."

A monk said, "Master, those are all given by believers and used to serve the Buddha..."

Xuanzang sighed in a low voice, "But the last thing we enjoyed is us. I borrowed the name of Buddha and enjoyed it. I am a great sin!"

He slowly sat cross-legged and said softly: "When I became a monk, I thought of walking all over the world with one bowl. But now I live in such a magnificent place. Ask yourself, do I still remember the thoughts of that year? I forgot... The thoughts of the past were forgotten by me in these years..."

He looked at everyone, "Why save the population of land and houses?"

“That’s…”

Someone was about to argue, but Xuanzang shook his head, "You can refuse."

As soon as these words were spoken, even Li Jie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and praise: "The master is pious, which makes me admire him very much."

Xuanzang said slowly: "If you are dedicated to practicing your own body, if you are dedicated to spreading Buddhism, live in the deep mountains and rivers without feeling desolate, but you are in the downtown city but your heart is peaceful... Why should we eat and use it? Just fill your stomach with two meals, and cover your body and clothes, let's see you wait..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at the monks.

The clothes are fresh, and the complexion is rosy and fair...

"If you want to be a rich man, you can go to the world." Xuanzang stood up, "If you want to practice yourself and promote Buddhism, you must give up something. Can you wait for those believers to force the land and houses to you?"

As soon as the last sentence came out, the scene was silent.

An old woman slowly knelt down, "Mage, mercy!"

"Mage, mercy!"

Those believers knelt down slowly and recited the Buddha's name devoutly.

Li Ji couldn't help but praise: "This is the real monk."

Even Li Yi Mansion praised: "Mage is merciful."

A monk suddenly knelt down, "Disciple has been wrong in the past!"

Xuanzang said calmly: "It's not too late."

Someone looked disappointed and wanted to speak but stopped. Xuanzang said to the people around him with a calm expression: "Fangwai is a place to cultivate oneself and promote Buddhism. He sent all the slaves of the Dacien Temple back. Each of them left thirty acres of land, and the others were sent back... From today on, I will go to the fields to cultivate..."

"Master!"

An old monk advised: "The master also needs to translate scriptures..."

Xuanzang smiled and said, "You can't eat without working. If you work, you can translate the scriptures. I am willing to do it."

He turned around and entered Dacien Temple, with the sound of Buddha's chants behind him endlessly.

"This is a real monk."

Bao Dong and Lei Hong were together, sighing.

Lei Hong nodded, "Mr. Jia Jun said that Master only has Buddhism in his heart, nothing else."

...

In the court, impeachment continues.

"Now Chang'an is shocking and it's going to be in chaos!"

There was a lot of discussion in the imperial city, some were filled with righteous indignation, and some were smiling in disguise behind their backs...

In the palace, Li Hong is accusing him of guilt.

"Let the prince get up."

Li Zhi was quite calm, and Wang Zhongliang quickly helped the prince up and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty is here, Your Highness does not need to worry."

This fool!

Li Zhi pointed to the side, and Wang Zhongliang went over and knelt down with a confused look on his face.

"But my words made Aye Niang suffer. I... was wrong."

Li Hong's eyes were red.

This child never mentioned the right or wrong of those words. He must have thought that he was guilty and uneasy for his parents to suffer...

Li Zhi's eyes were soft, "There are many things in the world, and this kind of dispute is just a corner. What is the world? Can Wulang know?"

Li Hong said: "The world... is a group composed of countless people."

"It's very good." Li Zhi smiled and said, "Those countless people are the foundation of the world. The governance must be based on these countless people. If the emperor favors anyone, the world will be unbalanced...

During the former Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families and powerful people were arrogant. This was also a mistake made by the emperor himself. When he discovered the problem, he wanted to use an eunuch to compete, but the eunuch was restless. In the end, the emperor became a doll. What is immortal?"

This is the study of the emperor!

Li Hong looked up, "Aye, no wonder everyone says that the emperor is a world of safety and danger..."

"So the emperor should be very cautious in choosing the national crown."

Many years after ascending the throne, Li Zhi was able to face this problem calmly, "If you are not careful, you will have to bear the blame for one person's mistake, why not?"

"You have to remember that the people in the palace can be used, but not very useful." Li Zhi glanced at Wang Zhongliang, "If there is any change in the palace in the depths of the emperor, it will either die or be a puppet. The ten regular attendants of the former Han Dynasty are lessons."

"yes!"

"The people outside should not believe it all. Once the emperor is obsessed with his subjects, it will be the beginning of the disaster."

Wang Zhongliang was trembling all over when he heard this, wishing he could cover his ears.

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi and shook her head slightly.

Is it too early to tell the prince about these words?

Li Zhi ignored it, "The emperor is ruthless, not because the emperor is cruel, but because the emperor takes the world as his responsibility. If the emperor has feelings, it is also against the whole world. If the emperor has feelings for someone or some people, then these people will soon become a disaster for the world... If you have read history books, you should know this."

Li Hong thought, "Once the emperor prefers it, he will..."

"Imbalance." Li Zhi smiled and said, "The emperor is ruthless and will not be unbalanced. You have the world in your heart. In this way, there is no difference between the ministers and the eunuchs in your eyes. You will use the pros and cons of the people in the world to measure these ministers and eunuchs. How to be the best for the people in the world... Then you do it, instead of if you like someone, you prefer him, and you will continue to reward and favor.

Remember, no matter whether it is your close minister or your favorite eunuch palace servant, you should not favor it...

Remember, there is only the world in your eyes! This is ruthlessness, this is the way of the emperor."

"yes."

Li Hong was still a little confused, but a trace of enlightenment gradually arose.

Is the emperor ruthless?

Then why did Aye prefer that mother and daughter?

My uncle said that as long as people are still eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating, they cannot escape the desires of ordinary people. They are surrounded by wine, sex, wealth and energy, and mortals are trapped in the center.

"Do Goro have something to say?"

Li Zhi is in a good mood.

Wu Mei also smiled and said, "Wulang is so smart, I think he has some understanding."
