Chapter Four
Kong Fan stepped into the Jinluan Hall, wearing a Confucian robe, showing the elegance of a scholar.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Kong Fan bowed slightly. For Kong Fan, as the dean of Yunlu Academy, he had the privilege of not kneeling before the emperor.

"Kong Aiqing, what's the matter here?"

Seeing Kong Fan coming in, Tang Wang Li Shimin smiled, but the previous haze was completely gone in this smile.

It seems that the Kong Fan in front of him is still the beloved Dean of Yunlu College, and he is still the teacher of the Great Tang Dynasty!
"His Majesty!"

Kong Fan took the order to get up, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He smashed the opponent's Buddha bone, and the opponent should have been extremely angry.

But right now, the emperor who is above ten thousand people can still talk to himself with a smile, this kind of bearing is admirable!
It is no wonder that countless historians in later generations have highly praised him, and even Li Shimin was elected by some people as the first emperor through the ages, which is not much weaker than the first emperor!
But, unfortunately,
This is Journey to the West, a place where gods and Buddhas coexist and demons and ghosts run rampant.

Imperial power, on the contrary, is not so important...

Sweeping away the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, Kong Fan took a deep breath and said:

"My lord, I'm here this time to make an admonition! There are three admonitions. The first admonition to His Majesty's worship of the Buddha is harmful to the country! The second admonition to His Majesty is obsessed with longevity and not diligent in political affairs! The third admonition to His Majesty to welcome the Buddha's bone will damage the foundation of my Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as Kong Fan finished speaking, the scene instantly cooled down.

In the Jinluan Hall, all civil and military officials, guards on the left and right, all looked at Kong Fan blankly.

Is he... is he crazy?
As the representative of the dean and scholar of Yunlu Academy, it is extremely dangerous to speak to the emperor in public.

Especially at the moment, although Li Shimin worships the Buddha, he has not yet brought disaster to the country and the people.

But Kong Fan spoke so fiercely...

For a moment, everyone who didn't know what Kong Fan was thinking fell into a strange silence!
On the dragon chair, Li Shimin forced a smile and said:
"Kong Aiqing may have worked too hard recently, and her thoughts are a little confused. Kong Aiqing, you have to be clear, your every move is of great importance..."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Kong Fan nodded, then calmly took out a memorial from his cuff,
He looked at Li Shimin who was not in a good mood, and said:
"Your Majesty naturally knows, therefore, I plan to write a letter of remonstrance now, and ask Your Majesty to give it to you!"

Seeing Kong Fan in the audience getting more and more excessive, Li Shimin's face was gloomy, admonishing the table, this is not just a simple admonition!

The remonstrance table written on the Jinluan Hall will definitely be recorded by historians, and even be included in Li Shimin's biography and passed down.

On a certain day in a certain year, the principal of Yunlu Academy angrily reprimanded Tang Taizong Li Shimin for neglecting political affairs and seeking pleasure...

No matter what the truth is, there is no getting away from this thing.

Therefore, it can be said that every letter of remonstrance represents a shameless confrontation between the courtiers and the emperor!Almost irreparable!

Li Shimin did not expect,
Today, the dean of Yunlu Academy, the highest academy in the Tang Dynasty, actually advised himself,

This is putting eye drops on yourself, disgusting yourself!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin took a deep breath.

Right now, he knew that he could not refuse Kong Fan,

Because remonstrance is a system since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Admonishment, in essence, is to wake up the fatuous emperor.

Therefore, even if Li Shimin knew that Kong Fan's actions would bring negative effects to him.

However, he can't stop it, he can only listen!

At this moment, the civil servants around had already started to panic.Kong Fan's behavior undoubtedly put the civil servant system and the imperial power system in opposition.

They stepped out of the queue one after another, wanting to stop it!
However, Li Shimin, who already knew the pros and cons, repelled all the courtiers.

He looked at Kong Fan in front of him, and said in a deep voice:
"Quite! I want to see how you, the dean of Yunlu Academy, can convict me!"

said,

Li Shimin ordered the eunuch serving next to him to bring pens and ink from the desk.

Since Kong Fan committed suicide,

Then he will let everyone see the price of being an enemy of himself.

"Thank you, Eunuch Li!"

Kong Fan nodded slightly to Eunuch Li who brought the Four Treasures of the Study.

then,

Kong Fan spread the memorial that he took out of his cuff on the table, grinded the ink, and started to write.

The famous article from the previous life was recalled in his mind, and then, four words appeared on the paper.

"Admonishing Buddha Bone Table"

A minister said: "Those who use Buddha are one of the dharma ears of Yidi."It has flowed into China since the later Han Dynasty, and it has never existed in ancient times.In the past, the Yellow Emperor reigned for a hundred years and was a hundred and ten years old...

That's right, what Kong Fan wrote was "Remonstrance to Welcome Buddha Bone Table" written by Wenzong Han Yu, a famous man in history.

It's just that in his time, the Buddha-welcoming bones appeared in the middle Tang Dynasty, which happened to be the time after Xuanzang, the Tang monk, traveled westward.

Since Xuanzang obtained the scriptures, Buddhism has rapidly become popular in the Central Plains. At that time, in order to show the courage of all nations to come to court, the Tang Dynasty allowed and even officially funded the spread of Buddhism.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the emperor's power was quickly vacuumed and fragmented, and Buddhism rapidly expanded in society.

Several emperors in the middle Tang Dynasty tried to borrow the power of Buddhism, but they didn't know that they were being used by Buddhist forces.

In the end, Tang Xianzong planned to welcome the Buddha bones into the palace to make offerings in the official name.

At this time, Wenzong Han Yu sacrificed his official career with a vision beyond the times, and published "Admonishing the Buddha's Bone Table".

Because of Han Yu's efforts, Li Yan, Emperor Wuzong of the later Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, and carried out a large-scale extermination of Buddhism, which abolished the cult of Buddhism!

Right now, due to the appearance of Journey to the West gods and Buddhas,
The progress of welcoming the Buddha's bone was strangely brought forward to the heyday of Tang Dynasty led by Li Shimin.

In this age when Xuanzang had not traveled westward,

The prosperity of Buddhism has already begun to emerge in the Tang Dynasty, if it waited until Xuanzang returned from learning the scriptures.

I am afraid that this flourishing Tang Dynasty will take a turn for the worse!

Therefore, for the sake of his own system tasks, and also for this flourishing dynasty,
Kong Fan wrote the Bone Table of Remonstrance and Welcome Buddha that has been passed down through the ages!
On the golden palace, on the dragon chair,

Li Shimin was almost crazy,
Remonstrating to welcome the Buddha bone watch directly put him on the execution platform of history.

Once this matter is implemented, Li Shimin can hardly avoid the title of a faint king!

For Li Shimin, this was simply intolerable!
"Shut up, bold Kong Fan, you are talking nonsense here, turning black and white. I thought you were the head of the academy, but now I can't keep you. Someone, come and put Kong Fan in prison, and I will be executed immediately!"

Li Shimin said at the end, almost roaring!

In the audience, the civil servant who originally wanted to calm down, silently withdrew his footsteps.

The wrath of the emperor is unstoppable!

The next moment, countless forbidden troops rushed out and surrounded Kong Fan!The spear reaches Kong Fan's limbs!
In the middle of the main hall, Kong Fan still didn't know it, and he was still writing vigorously while speaking loudly.

And as Kong Fan put pen to paper,
Huge auras began to overflow from Kong Fan's pen, as if the words had a spirit, and they touched the secrets of heaven!

Just when the spear was about to pierce Kong Fan's body, an incomparably magnificent aura burst out from Kong Fan's admonition watch!
Immediately, the spear was crushed, and the breath exploded!

On this day, a crack appeared on the Buddha statues in the Three Thousand Temples of the Tang Dynasty and the Eight Hundred Buddha Temples at the same time!
A true voice of the holy way resounded in the sky, Punish the Buddha!

ps: I am going through the signing process recently, and next week I will start two or even three changes a day.
