At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty as a god stick

() He also didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. Originally, he and the crown prince were both Buddhist believers, and they planned to intercede for the Wutai monks together, but they couldn't pardon Daojian's crimes, at least they asked the emperor to pardon the other monks .But they didn't know that Zhao Ji had brought the situation to this point with just a few words.

Zhao Ji has been on the throne for so many years, and the emperor did not do it for nothing. Naturally, his ability to control the situation in the court is not weak.He looked at Zhang Shangying with a sneer, and he hated this guy who pushed his son to fight against him in his heart.No father wants his son to be against him under the instigation of others.

Zhang Shangying snorted coldly and couldn't help shedding, and was cornered by Zhao Ji.He suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, Buddhism is merciful and saves people. This is kindness that teaches people to be kind and helps to govern the world. On the other hand, Taoism is useless. Apart from deceiving people, what good is it? Your Majesty , there are quite a few emperors who died under the golden core of Taoist priests in the past dynasties..."

Zhao Ji clenched his fine teeth tightly, and giggled: "Arrogance..." He was extremely annoyed, and he was cursing himself to death!

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud laugh.The voice was none other than Wen Fei's.Immediately attracted everyone's attention.At this time, Wen Fei seemed to have just woken up, rubbed his eyes and stood up.

Others thought that he was putting on airs. On such a critical occasion, they didn't know that Wen Fei just wanted to end the banquet quickly and go home early to observe the changes in the jade pendant.Especially, after the jade pendant has undergone a mutation, can it still be...transmigrated.

Although the Daqing Hall is the main hall of the imperial palace, it can't actually seat many people.Most of the low-ranking officials.They could only sit outside the hall.Fortunately, they are all seated separately.Wen Fei's seat was even higher than that of the crown prince Zhao Heng, and he faintly fought against Zhao Ji.

At this time Wen Fei laughed, many officials had nothing to do with them.I said in my heart: Come, come.Father Shang was about to speak at last, but he didn't know what he would say.

The ministers in the court are all disciples of Confucianism. They have learned the classics of Confucianism and stepped into official careers. Even if they believe in Buddhism or something, there are very few people like Zhang Shangying who have been known as Buddhist Dharma protectors in history.So it's none of your business.No one showed up at such a juncture.Do it from the sidelines!

Wen Fei laughed and stretched.I just feel refreshed and not much more comfortable.He just came back to his senses when he heard Zhang Shangying's words and burst out laughing.Ask directly: "During the early and prosperous Tang Dynasty, what did you believe in, Taoism. After the late Tang Dynasty, what did you believe in? Buddhism."

This is a historical fact, every minister can get a position in the Daqing Palace, and all of them are well-read poems and books.That Zhang Shangying can only argue that this is not a Buddhist process, but it cannot be said that Wen Fei is wrong.

Early Tang Dynasty.Taoism and Buddhism stand side by side, with China's native Taoism as the main state religion.Li Yuan claimed to be a descendant of Taoist Laojun.Mingjia’s family held the Tao Te Ching; in the early Tang Dynasty, the national power was strong and martial arts were outstanding; but Buddhism gradually prospered and became the most prominent religion in the era of Wu Zetian in the middle of the Tang Dynasty;

Wu Zetian died of illness a few months after welcoming the Buddha bones for the second time.Tang Xianzong welcomed the Buddha's bone for one year, and died of poisoning and vomiting blood in the main hall.Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty returned the Buddha's bone with hair instead, but was poisoned to death by his wife and daughter a few months later.Emperor Suzong of Tang Dynasty died suddenly the next year after welcoming the Buddha bone.Emperor Yizong of Tang Dynasty greeted the bone of Buddha, using national power and spending unprecedented money to welcome him, but unfortunately he died suddenly a few months later, and the Huangchao Rebellion broke out in the following year, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty was on the road to extinction.

These things were told one by one by Wen Fei.These are all historical facts, and Zhang Shangying cannot refute them.But he said: "It's just that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not practice political affairs. Buddhism can only benefit the rule of law, but it cannot replace political affairs! If Li Tang's monarchs and ministers did not believe in Buddhism, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty would have perished early..."

Wen Fei sneered and said, "Then let me ask you, let's not talk about the distance, when will Xixia be strong? How many Buddhists were there in Xixia when Li Yuanhao was in power, and how many are there now? Let me ask you again, Tubo, when they competed with Tang Dynasty for Hexi, Even when they invaded Chang'an, how powerful were the soldiers? Did they decline after they believed in Buddhism on a large scale? And Nanzhao... Liao Kingdom... Throughout history, no matter China or foreign countries, countries where Buddhism thrived It was quickly weakened and destroyed, but why?"

When these words came out, all the ministers changed their countenance drastically, but few of them looked at the issue of Buddhism from this historical perspective.Now that Wen Fei said it, they couldn't help feeling horrified when they thought about it.It seems that every country that believes in Buddhism on a large scale will fall into decline step by step...

What kind of arrogance did the Liao Kingdom conquer and conquer back then?Now even the king of the country believes in Buddhism, and he still wants to reincarnate and come to Song Dynasty.Even the emperor is like this, the atmosphere of the whole country can be imagined.There are millions of cavalry in the sky, but after the Tanyuan Alliance, they never thought about destroying the Northern Song Dynasty...

Zhang Shangying couldn't argue with this, cold sweat rolled down her cheeks again.He gritted his teeth and said, "I have invited a few eminent monks to fight with the national teacher. Let's see whether Buddhism is better or worse!"

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk.What matter, to argue to the end, is nothing more than to see who is stronger!

Zhao Ji glanced at Wen Fei in embarrassment, and said, "Father Shang, look..."

Wen Fei was furious in his heart, and was anxious to go home to observe the changes in the jade pendant, so he didn't want to cause trouble.But now I am also irritated by these successive provocations, and said with a sneer: "I have long wanted to see what those monks are capable of. But these bald thieves are not worth my hands, so let my master Brother, let's do it!"

After Zhao Ji heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "That's a good statement. What is Shangfu's status, how can he fight with these monks. Let's do it like this!"

Wen Fei said with a smile: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the sun. Today is the best time to fight!"

Zhang Shangying said that there is no way out now, so he can only grit his teeth and persevere, although he knows that Zhao Ji is already very angry at this time.As long as they lose, they will never end well, even if they win, it may not be easy, but at this time, he can only hold on.

Wen Fei has already branded Buddhism as a disaster for the country and the people. If it can't be washed away, it will be unlucky not only for him, but also for the entire Buddhist sect.

Wen Fei didn't care about the dull atmosphere in the whole hall, and filled his stomach on his own.Although the dishes made by the imperial chef in the palace are good-looking, the taste is quite ordinary, just like many big hotels in later generations.It is no wonder that the emperor of the Song Dynasty would send people out of the palace to buy snacks.
