Chapter 448: Li 2 has a cool heart!

"Weichen follow the order~!"
Li Zexuan grinned, he was selling criticism in his heart, resisting the urge to complain, bowed and said.
"Hmm~!"
Li Er nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps other kings would kill the unknown and new things indiscriminately. But as a pioneering holy lord, Li Er, the first thing he thought of was not killing, but Li Zexuan. The usefulness of learning has developed to the extreme.
As for whether Li Zexuan would threaten his rule, Li Er had never worried about this. He had confidence in himself, and he had confidence in his courtiers and generals.
The only thing that disappointed him was that the magical world Li Zexuan was talking about was not the immortal world, so does there exist immortals~?
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing we can be sure of, that is, there are absolutely no so-called gods in the nine heavens. Above the ten thousand-foot sky is a vast expanse of space, and there are countless earth-like planets floating in the space. Dream In the world in China, their technology can reach places hundreds of thousands of miles away from the ground, so the Weichen is sure that there are no real immortals in the sky~!"
Li Er looked ugly and said: "Really so~?"
"It's true~!"
Li Zexuan saw that Li Er seemed unwilling to give up on seeking immortality, so he continued:
"The master has exhausted his entire life in pursuing the immortal way. In the end, he got nothing, and he still died. Before his death, his old man once said to the minister: The world wants to live forever. From the king to the ordinary people, the extension of life is the deepest dream, but I don't know that longevity itself is the biggest joke.
Buddhism demands nirvana, Taoism demands inaction. Confucianism seeks to seek justice and achieve the same goal by different paths. In the end, it is to turn people into stones. Turtles live longer because of slowness, trees live longer because they don’t move, and only stones last forever.
Destroying human desires, extinct relationships, breaking five senses, obstructing listening, is this still human? I don't know the cold and heat, I don't know the smell and smell, I don't know right from wrong, there is no sense of family, no concept of family, no joy, no sorrow and joy, what is the difference from dead wood?
The reason why people are different from beasts is that we have thinking, know etiquette, know family affection, can work, can create, can transform the world, and also create the world, so that all things in the world can be used by me. This is human duty.
Surpassing one's own abilities in an vain attempt to pursue illusory longevity, but I don't know that there is an arrangement in heaven. If you want to live long, you have to turn into a stone, but the world is ridiculous as a moth to the fire! "
Yan Lide and Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly praised Li Zexuan for general knowledge and rationality. They felt that at this point, with so much evidence, Li Er shouldn't think too much about Immortal Dao Changsheng~?
Facts have proved that it is true. After listening to a long passage of Li Zexuan, Li Er's heart was cold. He was silent for a while before he sighed faintly and said: "Previously recorded in your "Journey to the West" Gods, Buddhas and ghosts are fabricated~?"
Li Zexuan was taken aback, saying that Li Er suppressed Buddhism, but he did not expect that he would read this kind of "rebellious" novels. Previously, Li Zexuan did not print the "Journey to the West" as a book for sale, mainly because of Li Erdui. The attitude of Buddhism, he was worried for a while that Li Er would look for him to settle accounts after seeing this novel, but he did not expect that Li Er not only "secretly" finished reading it, but did not trouble him.
In fact, he thought about it too much.
Later generations circulated that Li Er suppressed Buddhism and emphasized Taoism, mainly because Li Jiazun Lao Zi Li Er was the ancestor, and praised Taoism for the orthodoxy and sacredness of the Tang Dynasty imperial power. But in fact, Li Er did not have much hatred of Buddhism. On the contrary, the whole The Li family has many connections with Buddhism.
Li Er's boyhood was the period when Buddhism became popular throughout the country. At that time, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang and his sons believed in Buddhism, "The people of the world are popular and admire each other. Folk Buddhist scriptures are dozens of times more than the six sutras."
The influence of Buddhism has widely penetrated into all social strata and all aspects of social life. At that time, worshipping Buddhism had become a common practice both inside and outside the court. Of course, the noble family of Li is no exception.
In the second year of Daye, nine-year-old Li Er suffered from eye diseases. Li Yuan personally went to Chang'an Caotang Temple to worship Buddha for blessing. After Li Er's illness recovered, Li Yuan built a stone Buddha and sent it to the temple for worship. These have to be imprinted in Li Eryou's heart. Later, he never forgot the experience of his childhood, and he personally wrote poems to praise Kumarajiva, the founder of Caotang Temple, to express his respect and memory of the former monks.
In the early days of the Li family’s respect for Buddhism, it can also be seen from the nicknames of Li Yuan’s sons. Li Jiancheng’s nickname is Bishamen, and Li Yuanji’s nickname is Sanhu. These are all names related to Buddhist culture, although Li Er’s nicknames are in the history books. There is no relevant record, but it is certain that it is also related to Buddhism.
In the third year of Wude, Li Er, who was still the King of Qin, was ordered to fight against Wang Shichong and fought in Songluo the following year. Thirteen monks such as Zhicao, Huiyan, and Tanzong who were stationed in the fief of Baiguzhuang of Shaolin Temple captured Zheng General Wang Renze~EbookFREE.me~ and presented them to the Tang Army. Li Shimin took advantage of the momentum to defeat Wang Shichong, this is the famous thirteen stick monks Because of the incident of saving the king of Tang, Li Er had a good impression of Shaolin Temple and Buddhism.
However, during the Xuanwu Gate change, Buddhism secretly assisted Li Jiancheng, which made Li Er very annoyed afterwards, and felt a little disgusting with Buddhism. At the beginning of Li Tang’s founding, he once respected Lao Zi as the ancestor, Li Er simply proposed The policy of "Tao First and Buddha" was adopted.
But so far he has not issued any decree that clearly targets Buddhism. In the Tang Dynasty, the Li family pursued a policy of coexisting Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Li Er was the founder of this policy.
"Uh~! Back to your majesty, the plot in "Journey to the West" is indeed fabricated out of thin air~! I hope that your majesty will not take it to heart. After all, seeking immortality is just a illusory delusion~!"
Li Zexuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and arched his hands.
"That's it~! I'm here to see how your academy is preparing today, but I'm not here to discuss something with you."
Li Er shook his hand eagerly and said, only then did he notice the huge sand table in the house, he glanced roughly, and suddenly surprised: "Li Zexuan, what is this~?"
Previously, he and Empress Changsun had only heard Li Zexuan's description of dreams outside the door, but had not heard the academy drawings that Li Zexuan and Yan Lide had previously said.
Li Zexuan was scolding Li Er as shameless in his heart. The forceful explanation just now was no one. At this time, when he heard Li Er's question, he replied:
"Your Majesty, this is the Yanhuang Academy designed by Weichen. Then I will trouble Yan Shangshu to send some skilled craftsmen to build on the Yunshan Mountain in Meicun~!"
