Chapter 1945 Alliance

  The emperor’s gaze fell on Zhou Man from a distance, and wanted to unite with her, but it was a pity that he could not touch her small eyes.

The emperor became a little vague.

  Wei Zhi, however, must define his superstitious behavior, because this will involve the education of the people in the world.

  What is the superiority of the superior, and the superiority of the next?

  The emperor has repeatedly expressed graciousness to the Buddhist temples, and the development of the Buddhist temples has been rapid over the years. Some local officials have also taken the initiative to allocate land to the Buddhist temples to make farmland to please the emperor, which made Wei Zhi very dissatisfied.

  He did not impeach him less before, but the emperor pretended to be confused, recognized his mistakes quickly, and turned around to do what he did or how to do it, and there were a lot of important things in the world.

  He is still very measured. If the emperor is unhappy and delays other things because of such an incident, then the gain is not worth the loss.

  It happened that there was nothing serious recently. He could have a good talk with the emperor on this matter, and the timing was also the best.

  Wei Zhi asked the emperor to express his position on the spot and promised that he would not be obsessed with such illusory things as Buddhist temples and Taoism in the future.

  The emperor didn’t want to express his position, because he believed in Buddhism in his heart, and he believed it all. It would be embarrassing if he didn’t give up something when he went to Buddhist temples occasionally.

Seeing him hesitating, Wei Zhi looked to the back and asked with a loud voice: "Edited by Zhou, you have the same faith as your Majesty. Why don't you come and talk to your Majesty about this belief without getting lost." ."

  Man Bao:……

  Wei Zhi is now the prime minister. He is the head of the hundred officials. Man Bao dare not refuse. After a moment of silence, he can only bite the bullet and get up.

  She glanced up quietly, facing the emperor's gaze.

  A gentleman and a minister looked at each other silently for a moment, all a little pitiful.

  The magistrate Tang, who looked up and saw him, couldn't hold back, lowered his head and laughed.

  The ministers also felt that Zhou Man’s expression was a bit pitiful, mainly because she was still young and was a girl, about the same size as the daughter\granddaughter\sister of the family, so everyone turned their heads to look at Wei Zhi.

  Wei Zhixin is as hard as iron, but his tone is calmer, and he asks: "I don’t know if the Zhou editors will give up money every time they go to the Taoist temple?"

  Man Baodao: "Give it when you do something or ask for a safe talisman. I usually go up the mountain to visit and watch, and don't give up money."

  Man Bao paused. She also knew Wei Zhi’s intentions. Just as she worried that the queen mother was too obsessed with Buddhism, he also worried that the emperor placed too much emphasis on Buddhism.

So she still expressed her opinion against the emperor’s gaze. She is also a believer, and there is a mother who is obsessed with Tianzun in the family. She knows the psychology of the believers very well. They do so much for nothing but merit. It seems that merit can be used to exchange something with gods and Buddhas.

  For example, Qian would use chanting, morning and evening three incense worship statue of Laozi, occasionally donate eggs and rice to the Taoist temple, and occasionally give copper coins if he is generous.

The purpose of    is to accumulate merits and then seek Man Bao’s health and prosperity in his life, as well as the safety and health of the family;

  And the emperor gave the Huguo Temple generous treatment from time to time, not only because there were monks in the early years who helped him calm the world and made credit, but also because he wanted something.

  He will use the donated merits to hope that the queen will be healthy and live a hundred years, and he will wish his children peace and harmony.

  Man Bao pointed out this first, and the emperor on the seat nodded repeatedly, and could not help but agree: "It is precisely this reason, I am also for the peace of the country and the people."

  Naturally, he also asked for generations of the Li Dynasty, but he knew that such a big wish would be difficult to realize, so he always picked the most important promise.

  Wei Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth and glanced at Zhou Man. Based on what he knew about her, she would definitely not just hold back.

  Sure enough, Man Baocai finished talking about the psychology of being a believer headed by her, and then denied it, “but the ministers know that it’s wrong to pin their wishes on the appearance of the old man.”

  The emperor's face froze.

Man Bao lowered his head and continued: "Since I was a child, I heard my mother say that my father burned incense for the land, but the land still needs to be plowed, the grass still needs to be removed, and the water still needs to be poured. If this is the case, everyone will stop farming, and see if the gods will let the ground grow out of thin air that we can eat."

Emperor:……

  The ministers nodded slightly, although the words were a little rough, the truth was true.

"So those who take the exam still have to study hard, those who do business also have to work hard to circulate, and those who cultivate the land have to work harder, so that they can succeed. In that case, it is not clear that it is the gods and Buddhas that make people succeed. "I made myself successful," Man Baodao said, "The minister thinks that gods and Buddhas only lie in people's hearts. There is not much difference between the legalists, but these two have built Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, intercepting part of the scriptures and teachings to be supported by believers."

  Even Wei Zhi couldn’t help looking at Zhou Man in amazement, and asked incredulously: “Is this your perception?”

  Man Bao said: "My husband taught me."

  Kong Jijiu immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, Zhuang Xun is talented, it should be used."

  The emperor nodded again and again, and was about to turn the topic away, Wei Zhi pulled the topic back, "Zhuang Xun is meant to be used, this is transparent, what does your Majesty think?"

  What can the emperor say, he naturally nodded, and continued to work hard to change the topic, "Okay, pass the decree, and Zhu Zhuang Xun will serve as the sixth-rank prince."

  Very good, from the 9th to the 6th rank, he was about to wait for Wei Zhi to object before entangled in this matter and consume time. Who knows if Wei Zhi will take this stubbornly, turned his head and said with thoughtfulness: "You continue."

  The emperor’s heart fell from mid-air to the ground. He silently lowered his head to stare at Zhou Man, but Zhou Man did not raise his head, but only stared at his toes, so he only saw her black head.

"The minister thinks that what Buddhism and Taoism asks is to preach doctrines. In this case, as believers, preaching their good doctrines is the greatest merit. Money and the like are still trivial matters, and continue to promote the good aspects. It’s not enough to develop better doctrines, which means believing but not becoming obsessed."

Although Wei Zhi did not agree with Zhou Man’s “continuous promotion of the good side”, because they are now united front, they did not immediately raise questions. Instead, they continued to target the emperor. Make a deep analysis of the impact of the country’s generous treatment.

  He obviously did the preparatory work. Starting from the number of monks registered ten years ago, he compared the number of newly added monks one by one each year, and also listed the increase ratio.

  Two of the large-scale growths were the second year after the emperor prayed for the queen twice.

  Wei Zhi's words were fierce and demanded that the emperor take responsibility for this and promised to change his behavior in the future.

  As for rectifying the Buddhist temple, Wei Zhi can only think in his heart, not wanting to force the emperor too much for the time being.

  　See you at six in the afternoon
