Chapter 18 Standing to Save People
Li Yuanai had an answer in his heart.
As the son trained by Li Shimin himself, Li Zhi knows Li Shimin better than anyone else.
Not to mention Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, how could Li Zhi not see through the problems he saw through?
Chu Suiliang and Liu Shi fought for power, but Li Shimin was the one who killed people.
Is Liu Shi really going to die?
uncertain.
You can feel Liu Shimin's talent, let alone Li Shimin?
Liu Wei's life and death depend on who saved him? Who is the one who pleaded for him?
If the person who pleaded for him was from the former King of Wei, Li Tai, the party, then Liu Shi would die, and the person who pleaded for him would be almost the same.
But if the person who pleads with him is Li Zhi, then Liu Wei can survive.
Only after truly receiving the great kindness of Li Zhi could Liu Wei wash away the label of King Li Tai of Wei, and become the real Li Zhi and the new princeling.
Li Zhi himself is the best choice to plead, but Chu Suiliang is the one who touched Liu Yan.
Li Zhi didn't care about Chu Suiliang, but Changsun Wuji behind Chu Suiliang was the existence he feared.
He can't fight head-on, it's perfect for him to come out to block the knife.
After figuring out this, Li Yuanai smiled and said, "This matter is for me. How to save Liu Xiang? I already have a plan."
Li Yuanai sat down aside and continued, "There is another thing that the prince should pay attention to."
Li Zhi said: "You said!"
Li Yuanai said: "It's about Buddhism. You should hear about the turmoil in Hongfu Temple."
After that day, Zhilu surrendered himself to the Yongzhou Prefecture Office and explained the causes and consequences.
Zhilu not only explained what he did to please Xuanzang and Shi Pantuo, but also told Master Huihai secretly arranged for him to invade Xuanzang's internal affairs to fight for power with Xuanzang.
This caused quite a lot of turmoil.
Although Master Huihai is not as respected as Xuanzang, he is also the abbot of the first temple in Chang'an. Before Xuanzang returned, he was extremely famous in Chang'an and had many believers.
Master Huihai's actions undoubtedly slapped the monks who shouted that the four great powers of Buddhism were empty.
Master Huihai undoubtedly removed the position of abbot. Xuanzang unexpectedly became the ultimate winner. With his supreme prestige, he became the abbot of Hongfu Temple.
"I know!" Li Zhi said with a look of contempt, "A group of monks? I'm planning to go? I'm so embarrassed."
Li Yuanai said: "Crown Prince, don't underestimate those monks? After my understanding, the so-called cause and effect of monks is the most close to the people? And their way of preaching is far better than our national religion. As an external belief, it is not without reason that Buddhism can defeat Taoism. Do you think that Taoism will certainly have some monster monks and Taoism? But how did it happen to shake the foundation of the country? Buddhism did it, and it was twice. Emperor Taiwu of Wei and Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou both had the act of destroying Buddhism. If it weren't for the special situation? As kings, why should they shake the hearts of the people and become enemies of a belief sect?"
"There is no other reason, that is, my Chinese national conditions are suitable for the spread of Buddhist thought. It is not a bad thing for the people to have faith. But turning faith into reality? Everyone is empty in all four elements? No desire or demand, so how can it be more worthwhile? Do you need to cultivate the land? Do you need to obey labor in labor?"
"The requirement for monks and the threshold for preaching must be limited. A cat and dog are not even empty, and they don't know anything about the eighteen levels of hell? It's a world full of deception. Faith is not guilty, but once there are more believers? A force that can control the situation is not a good thing."
He just promised Xuanzang that Tanzong would not care about what happened in Hongfu Temple? He did not agree to allow Buddhism to continue to develop like this.
Li Zhidao: "I will handle this matter."
Li Yuanai felt a little reluctant to stay here, and waved her hand and said, "I'll go to Lizheng Hall to see Xiao Yizi."
He bowed? He stepped down.
Li Zhi looked complicated? Looking at the leaving figure? A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, and then he was replaced by Sen Leng. He took a piece of paper from the table, wrote the names of the two people, and then drew a fork!
The paper was rolled up in one place, threw it into the brazier, and allowed it to burn by the fire.
The bright red fire shone on the slightly pale face.
Li Yuanai was walking to Lizheng Hall and had a premonition of confronting the old fox Changsun Wuji, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and so suddenly.
To be fair, Changsun Wuji is not bad at all. He is loyal to the Tang Dynasty and has no one compared to his contributions to the Tang Dynasty. His cunning is not a derogatory term.
If there were no Changsun Wuji in history, Li Zhi would not have been so easy to sit in the court.
However, conflicts between powerful ministers and kings are inevitable.
There is no difference between good and bad.
Li Zhi is not a cowardly emperor who is willing to be controlled by powerful ministers. Unless Changsun Wuji is willing to let go of everything and return home, they will definitely face each other in a tit-for-tat way.
But how could Changsun Wuji let go of everything?
Not to mention whether Changsun Wuji would agree, even if he was happy, Li Shimin would not agree.
Fang Xuanling is already old, and no one can predict when he will leave.
Changsun Wuji is the only person among the old ministers who is free from illness and disaster. He is the iron-clad minister who is entrusted with orphanage and is the only one who deserves the trust of Li Shimin.
In other words, the conflicts between Li Zhi and Changsun Wuji are unresolvable.
While thinking about it, Li Yuanai came to Lizheng Hall.
The quick-minded little Aizi seemed to feel the emotional turmoil of her "Brother Ai". She did not make noise and let him play with her, but instead chatted with him and said this.
Li Yuanai's mood gradually improved by letting Xiao Yizi enlighten her.
Li Zhi did not tell the truth to him, but compared to his intentional deceiving himself, he believed that he was embarrassed to speak out.
At least he made it clear from the beginning that he wanted to face Changsun Wuji, and explained the danger and gave the right to choose to himself.
The two are grasshoppers on the same rope. Even if they fall down, as long as they are there, they will have the opportunity to rise.
But if he falls, he will be really done.
Isn’t it just Changsun Wuji? He can really eat himself?
Li Yuanai was the same as this, and immediately became enlightened and played with Xiao Yizi seriously.
When Xiao Yizi saw that her brother Ai was back, she smiled even happier.
That night, Li Yuanai racked his brains and wrote a memorial to plead for Liu Yu with his own less-smile vocabulary.
The memorial was a little strict. I believe that Liu Wei would not say anything like Yi Yin and Huo Guang.
He officially stood on Liu Shi's side and spoke for him.
Li Yuanai got the memorial like a rock sinking into the sea, and he did not respond for three consecutive days.
Li Yuanai was anxiously waiting and almost went to the palace to meet the saint in person and went to Li Shimin to plead with him.
But on the fourth day, a punishment for Liu Yan came from the palace, and Liu Yan was demoted to the governor of Yingzhou in the name of being indifferent.
Li Yuanai breathed a long sigh when she heard the news.
But before he could finish his breath, he received news of Li Shimin's summoning.
