After Becoming a Taoist

   Chapter 734 Asking for Inspiration Temple

   This morning, Li Shimin demoted and killed many officials who failed to defend the north.

   Now is the time to hire people.

   also rewarded Yuchi Jingde with some gold and jade.

   This is my own family.

   Then he asked Li Dan, "Aiqing set up a formation to block a hundred thousand troops, what reward do you want?"

  Li Dan did not say that he didn't want anything, which would make the emperor even more jealous.

  Li Dandao thought about it and said, "My teacher, Sun Simiao, came here from the south to give lectures all the way, but there is no place to live, so I want His Majesty to build a medical Taoism palace at the foot of Taibai Mountain."

   "The Imperial Physician's Office is still a little small. It's too crowded where doctors from all over the country gather, and it's not clean enough. It doesn't look like a place for learning."

   Li Shimin is embarrassed: his private treasury has no money, and the state treasury has no money.

   But it was not easy to refuse Li Dandao, so he opened his mouth and said, "I remember that Taibai Mountain was originally the place where Sun Zhenren cultivated.

   "As for who to serve as an official for a real person, it's better to ask tomorrow."

  Li Dandao knew that the emperor had no money, but since Taibai Mountain was entrusted to his own teacher, he would be a school himself.

   When Sun Zhenren enters the palace tomorrow, Li Shimin will definitely ask some questions about longevity, and then he can move on to the questions of "the emperor's longevity" and "every thousand people's longevity".

   It is impossible to establish a "Datang Ministry of Health". It does not seek to be at the same level as the Six Ministries, but if it can be at the same level as the Nine Temples.

   Sun Zhenzhen was originally unwilling to become an official in the dynasty. If he was specifically in charge of this, he would have done something.

   "What about you? You don't want anything?" Li Shimin asked Li Dan.

  I want to become immortal, but you can't give it. Li Dan thought for a moment.

   I thought again, if I don't order anything, I'm afraid the emperor will not feel at ease.

   "Your Majesty, give the Temple of Inspiration to Pindao."

   "You're not a Taoist? Why do you want to set up a temple?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Li Dandao smiled and said, "This minister is a high Taoist, and high Taoism does not abstain from monks. The Inspiration Temple and Xuandu Temple correspond to each other. It is a treasure land of Feng Shui. Preside over the Temple of Inspiration."

  Li Shimin was still thinking of relying on Buddhism to check and balance Li Dandao, and now hearing Li Dandao's remarks, he couldn't help but be curious.

   turned to look at Xiao Yu.

   Xiao Yu and Fu Yi lost the fight after arguing, but they still want to fight.

   And Li Shimin looked at him, which means that he can only stand on the side of Buddhism and cannot change camps.

"The high Taoist does not avoid monks." Xiao Yu seemed to be kind and smiled: "I heard that Taoists are the most humble, but I have never heard of myself saying that I am a high Taoist, not to mention that I think that Dr. Li is still young, but he is under His Majesty. This old Dan sage will be on the high road in front of him."

  Li Dandao replied earnestly: "Buddhism says that in the heaven and the earth, I am the only one who is the only one. This statement is far more radical than I am. I call myself a high Tao. Naturally, my Taoism is high and my morality is high, not my qualifications and age."

  Fu Yi also opened his mouth to support Li Dan: "Buddhism is the religion of barbarians, and only Taoism is my native religion. Since we have Taoism, why should we believe in Hu religion? The essence is actually the same."

   "Barbarians came to China to learn etiquette."

   "I, China, learn religion from barbarians."

   "Isn't this a mess?" Fu Yi snorted: "A monk takes a Taoist priest as his teacher, just like a little prince coming to China to study. I don't think there is anything unusual."

   As soon as Fu Yi opened his mouth, he blocked Xiao Yu's mouth.

   Two people often quarrel because of different beliefs and political views.

   Xiao Yu has no tolerance for others, even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji and others will falsely accuse him if they do wrong.

   But this is actually Xiao Yu's self-protection technique. He is a relative of the former Sui emperor and can only be used to balance Li Shimin's subordinates.

   This is another kind of wisdom.

  Otherwise, Xiao Yu wouldn't have quit the prime minister six times and returned six times.

   "Inspiration Temple has been closed for many years, and there must be a reason to open it."

  Li Dan said, "How about praying for the first empress, Prince Yin, His Royal Highness Hailing Thorn?"

  Li Dan said a word and pinched Li Shimin.

   Queen Dou is a Buddhist.

   "That's right." Li Shimin waved his hand: "How are your two disciples' virtues? Maybe they preside over a temple?"

   "My eldest apprentice, Monk Bajie, has a profound Buddhist teaching."

   "He once wanted to go to Tianzhu step by step to ask the Buddha's scriptures, and when he went to Dunhuang, he realized himself. Now he has the atmosphere of a great master, and he found that there are scriptures in China, so there is no need to ask outside."

  Li Dandao naturally ranted to Monk Bajie for a while.

   However, "Inspiration Temple" is taken from Guanyin, and its full name is "Namo Great Mercy, Great Compassion, Great Inspiration Guanyin Bodhisattva."

   It can be said that the Inspiration Temple is the Guanyin Temple.

  Li Dandao wanted to come to the Inspiration Temple, one is to find a Zen dojo for monk Bajie, and the other is to pay homage to Guanyin.

   "The Temple of Inspiration is not well-known, please ask Your Majesty to give it another name."

   "Since it is the Queen Mother and my two brothers, then it corresponds to the East Palace, the master of Qinglong of the East Palace, and it should be renamed Qinglong Temple."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Dan said that he was rewarded.

   And Li Shimin nodded, and then asked about the drought situation and the immigration in the dry area.

"If there are no foreign criminals this year, there will be no more wars. It is important for the people to recover and restore people's livelihood." Li Shimin said, "But the troubles of the Turks are still in the throat. What's the solution?"

   "How about repairing the Great Wall? Although the Qin Great Wall is partly in disrepair, it can still be repaired if it needs to be repaired." Xiao Yu said.

  Li Shimin thinks about it, this seems to be a feasible solution, but there are too many people to call, and it is easy to rebel.

  The previous dynasty was buried because of the hidden danger of the Grand Canal.

"The Turks are not like me in the Central Plains. If you say that you will join forces, you will join forces. The 100,000-strong army of Jieli Khan was formed by mobilizing more than a dozen Turkic tribes." Li Dandao said directly: "This minister proposes to divide it up. Transform it, and educate it.”

  Fang Xuanling also nodded: "The minister's idea and Dr. Li's idea did not agree with each other. Now that we have opened a market and want to exchange markets with those Turks, we can naturally choose to sponsor some small Turkic tribes."

   "As long as each tribe can't unite in one place, Tuli, Jieli, or the former Princess Yicheng of Sui, Empress Xiao, and Yang Zhengdao's pseudo-Sui regime, they can't gather a large group of troops and go south."

   "In addition, you can build a city by the side of the farm." Li Dan said: "The army is stationed in the field to **** the merchants who come and go."

   "Why **** businessmen? Businessmen pursue profits like flies chasing odor." Li Shimin was naturally displeased with businessmen.

  Li Dan said: "If Your Majesty wants to get rich quickly, then the tax from Xinjiang trade here is a lot of money."

   "The protection of businessmen is to protect those who pay taxes, patriotic businessmen, those who smuggle, cooperate with the enemy, and those who evade taxes. Naturally, border officials have to be attacked by the army."

  Li Dan said: "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the Western Regions Protectorate, he continuously transported the wealth of the Western Regions to China. Naturally, His Majesty can also."

  Li Shimin is now full of money, and he is too poor now.

   It is really confident that you can make your purse bulge.

   "Tell me in detail."

Li Dandao knew that Li Shimin was short of money, so of course he would not hang him, and this was also a part of Li Dandao's future preaching. Li Dandao wanted to establish Taoist temples on the frontiers, educate the Turks outside the Great Wall, and even cut down mountains and temples to take some. Guardian spirit.
