Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 895 Of course there will be bad people among the monks, just like Your Highness, you also have two bad brothers
Swish!
With a slight sound of breaking through the air, a Qixiang car pulled by a sapphire cheetah galloped from a distance at an extremely fast speed, passed the top of the mountain below, and then disappeared into the distance.

Inside the Qixiang car, Kong Qing, who was dressed in white, hugged the little milk cat, looking up to the sky and sighing helplessly!

"Whether it's a mana pot or a wind bag, their basic attacks are too low. When facing these earth immortals, there is no way to easily deal with them... Self-protection is fine, but chasing and killing others is difficult. !"

Saying that, Kong Qing stretched out his hand and pinched his brows gently!
"Although Gu Chen can kill and injure Earth Immortals after leveling up, it also depends on the cultivation of the poor, and what the poor can bully now... Sigh! It seems that it is limited to the parallel imports of those Earth Immortals. Like That muscular monk who was not weak was hit by Pindao's sword, but Pindao's sword did not completely cut through the opponent's muscles, which is a clear proof!
If Pindao hadn't caught him off guard with Jinxia Crown, he might have to wait a long time to win.Ugh……"

Kong Qing held the kitten with one hand, and sighed again.

"If Xuanyuanjian didn't ask for leave to leave some time ago, why did Pindao compromise with that big curly hair... No! This matter has nothing to do with Xuanyuanjian. He has been with 007 for such a long time, and it is normal to want to take a vacation. After all, Pindao's strength is too weak!"

Having said that, Kong Qing sighed again.

"Hey! Why can a poor Taoist who works so hard not beat a few monks? Is it true that Dao is one foot taller and the devil is one foot taller?"

After hearing Kong Qing's muttering, the little milk cat in his arms immediately raised his head, rolled his eyes cutely at Kong Qing, then jumped up and landed on Kong Qing's shoulder, using his own The furry little paw patted Kong Qing's face.

You stupid human being!

You have only practiced Taoism for a few years, and you are able to show off your power in the secret realm of other Buddhists, but you still think this kind of progress is too slow...

Really!
You can't be too subtle in life!

During the 'interaction' between Kong Qing and the little milk cat, the Qixiang chariot quickly passed through the air, heading towards Baima Mountain outside Xiangyang City, which is the ancestral home of the Jushe Sect. Fly quickly in the direction of the White Horse Temple where the monk resides.

"Next, after Pindao joins Cheng Yaojin and Zhai Changsun and helps them warn the great monks of the Jushe Sect, the matter of the monk qualification examination is basically over..."

Several hours later, Kong Qing's leisurely voice came out again from the secret place behind the White Horse Temple.

"...In order to ensure the fairness and openness of the qualification examination for monks and nuns, His Royal Highness invites you all to stay in the Everlasting Pure Land and close the mountain for ten days from now on. ... Bodhisattvas of the Kushe sect, accept the decree!"

……

On the 500th day of the twelfth lunar month in the eighth year of Wude, the nationally sensational monk and nun qualification examination in the northern examination area finally came to an end. After this fair, open and just examination, the number of monks in the entire northern Buddhist sect fell from the previous one hundred thousand. It has fallen to the point where there are less than [-] people now.

In fact, if you add the slaves of the temple, this time Li Shimin's cleaning of the Buddhist gates in the Northland is equivalent to adding nearly 300,000 Dingkou in one fell swoop!

As soon as this matter spread, there was an uproar in the public opinion!
"His Royal Highness!"

Standing in the Jiade Hall of the East Palace, Xiao Yu, a staunch Buddhist believer, spoke impassionedly to Li Shimin.

"Buddhism uses equality to educate the world. I have never heard of any serious mistakes. Now His Royal Highness is wrathful, and the monks and nuns, regardless of whether they are good or bad, are returned to the vulgar. I think it is impossible..."

"Xiao Qing's words are too much!"

Regarding Xiao Yu's words, Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently.

"Where there is no good or bad, all the monks and nuns who have passed the exam are all left behind, and their money and food are still allocated from the treasury. This is an act of worshiping Buddha!"

"Your Highness is wrong!"

For Li Shimin's sophistry, Xiao Yu, a Buddhist believer, immediately refuted it.

"How many monks can pass His Highness's assessment. What kind of behavior is there to worship Buddha? It is clearly a trip to destroy Buddha..."

"Oh……"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Shimin immediately raised his head after several cases, and said in a strange tone.

"If Gu remembers correctly, it seems that you, Xiao Qing, have also taken the qualification exam for monks and nuns, and passed it successfully!"

"Exactly!"

For Li Shimin's question, Xiao Yu admitted without hesitation.

"I did take the qualification exam for monks and nuns this time, and I did pass it, but it was because I participated in it myself that I..."

"So Xiao Qing, what do you mean..."

Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, Li Shimin continued to speak in that strange tone.

"You, who are not even monks, can easily pass the exam, but those serious monks can't pass...Xiao Qing, don't you think this is too ridiculous?"

"what……"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Xiao Yu blinked immediately.

What does His Highness mean by this?
What is an exam that even I can easily pass... You must know that when it comes to familiarity with Buddhism, someone is not boasting that someone's knowledge can surpass ninety-nine percent of monks in the world.

Your Highness, you shouldn't compare me with ordinary people!

"Your Highness..."

Xiao Yu lowered her head, trying to explain to Li Shimin.

"Because I have loved Buddhism since I was a child, I have been immersed in the essence of Buddhism for many years. Ordinary monks should not be able to compare with me. Therefore, Your Highness, compare me with ordinary monks..."

"Xiao Qing, you are wrong again!"

Li Shimin lowered his head again, and while looking at the files on several cases, he said casually.

"Everyone in the world knows that you are talented, Xiao Qing, and you are a rare generalist who can penetrate all kinds of studies...By the way, Xiao Qing, you also work in calligraphy. I have a good understanding of this. If you want to write a good handwriting In addition, Xiao Qing, you still have official business to deal with. For Xiao Qing, you should not have spent too much time studying Buddhism, right?
But those serious monks are not. They have nothing to do every day, they just need to study the Dharma intensively. Under such circumstances, they have no way to compare with you, Xiao Qing. What does this mean? "

Li Shimin raised his finger and tapped lightly on the cases.

"Either they are dull and incompetent, or they are not diligent in their practice. If these two kinds of monks stay, besides corrupting the atmosphere of Buddhism, are there any other uses?"

"..."

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Xiao Yu immediately felt that she was choked firmly, and for a while, she didn't know how to return to the other party's words.

You can't directly admit that you are a genius in practicing Buddhism, and you can learn from ordinary monks for a year, right?

"Pei Sikong!"

With nothing to do, Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Sikong Peiji who was standing beside him with an uneasy expression on his face.

"Didn't you also say that His Highness's assessment was unreasonable? Now that His Highness is here, Pei Sikong, shouldn't you also speak freely to convince His Highness..."

Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, Pei Ji saw Li Shimin who was still bowing his head silently raised his head and gave him a cold look.

"Xiao Zhongcheng, you are wrong!"

Pei Ji quickly waved his hand in denial.

"The old man has never said that His Highness's assessment is unreasonable. In fact, in the old man's opinion, His Highness's move has the potential to turmoil and exalt the clean. It can be said to sweep away the old evils of Buddhism, which is a great thing!"

"..."

Hearing Pei Ji's 'shameless' remarks, Xiao Yu suddenly felt his chest become more congested.

Did you make a mistake!
You, a guy who can even name his son a mage and a lawyer, can actually say such a thing against his conscience... Where is your righteous belief?Was it eaten by a dog?
"Pei Sikong is worthy of being Aye's important minister, what he said is very fair!"

Contrary to Xiao Yu, after hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

"Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism has been plagued by evils. In fact, the reason why I have made up my mind to test the qualifications of monks and nuns this time is also because during this period of time, monks who commit crimes have been discovered by the government. Let Gu feel that this matter has reached the point where it is imperative to do something!"

As he spoke, Li Shimin raised his hand, tore off a document from a shelf beside him, and handed it to Xiao Yu.

"Originally these things should not be seen by other people, but because Xiao Qing, you have always supported Gu, and you are Gu's right-hand man, so Gu will not avoid suspicion. You can take a look!"

Ordinary people, such as Pei Sikong next to Xiao Yu, would definitely take this opportunity to go downhill, but Xiao Yu is an orthodox Buddhist after all, so although he took the document and looked at it carefully , but still continue to offend Yan Zhijian!

"Your Highness, today you are going to kill all the monks because of the fault of a small group of monks and nuns. I still think..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and continued.

"Just like Shang Jun was born in Shunshe, and Dan Zhu grew up in Yao Palace, but their evil deeds cannot cover up the brilliance of Yao and Shun. Your glory, the Emperor and Your Highness..."

"Humph!"

Just when Xiao Yu mentioned Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, who was still looking relaxed, snorted, then he raised his hand and waved it casually.

"Okay, this matter is Aye's will, Gu will definitely not object, Xiao Qing doesn't need to say more, you go down!"

"..."

Seeing Li Shimin's seemingly determined statement, even Xiao Yu could only agree embarrassingly, and then bowed to leave.

After Xiao Yu stepped back, Pei Ji quickly seized the opportunity and said to Li Shimin.

"Your Highness, what the old minister told you just now about retiring from old age and returning home..."

"Pei Sikong!"

Li Shimin raised his head and gave Pei Ji a hard look.

"You are an important minister that Aye relies heavily on, but Gu has not yet ascended the throne, and you want to retire, why... Pei Sikong, do you think that Gu's virtue is not as good as completed, and that he is not worthy of Pei Sikong's allegiance?"

"of course not!"

Hearing Li Shimin's heartbreaking words, Pei Ji quickly waved his hands.

"Your Highness, you are wrong. The old minister just feels that the world is impermanent, so he wants to..."

"Pei Sikong, you don't need to say anything!"

Li Shimin lowered his head again and replied impatiently.

"Gu still has a lot of things to rely on you, Sikong, you don't have to mention the matter of retiring from the old, Sikong Pei!"
