Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

With the assistance of Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

The officials in the court of the two major families will not be kept, and all will be eliminated.

Even the local officials did not let go.

These people knew very well that Li Er made up his mind this time.

So none of them dared to make trouble, and the whole process went very smoothly.

In this way, Cui and Zheng's family completely cut off their thoughts of making a comeback.

no power, no money...

Even if you have an idea, you can only look around and sigh.

It took only a few months for the two families to fall from the peak to the bottom.

Many people marveled at what happened to the two families.

If you don't die, you won't die. If you insist on challenging Qin Mu, you deserve what you've done now that you've ended up like this.

After this incident, Mangya Trading Company is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.

He monopolized the arms trade with the imperial court and gained fame.

Nowadays, there is no family business that can be compared with Mangya Trading Company.

Coupled with the continuous expansion of the Mangya Industrial Zone, its status is unshakable.

Seeing that the situation of Mangya Trading Company is in good shape, Li Er changed his mind again.

He purposely called Qin Mu to the Ganlu Hall alone, wanting to share the fruits of victory.

"How is the business in our firm recently?"

Li Er poured a cup of tea, handed it to Qin Mu, and said with a smile.

Qin Mu was speechless, our firm is really shameless, no one will follow you.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me. The business of my business is very good, and everything is normal."

Qin Mu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He specially emphasized the word "my".

But Li Er didn't care, and continued.

"There should be no one who can threaten the firm now, and the deal with the imperial court has been confirmed, and there will be no one to replace it in the future."

"Since this is the case, you can consider making the business bigger. Datang has a vast territory, and branches can be established in various places."

"As long as you are willing, the imperial court is willing to provide help and assistance. No matter what you ask, you can talk about it. Of course, I can't help in vain. Just let me join the group."

Li Er went around in a big circle and kept making promises, just for this last request.

Qin Mu is probably the only person in the world who can make Li Er negotiate like this.

"I appreciate His Majesty's kindness. Mangya Trading Company has just started, and it is not suitable for drastic expansion. I have no such plan for the time being."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. If I have any difficulties in the future, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for help. Your Majesty will definitely be rewarded."

"As for now, it is not needed for the time being."

Qin Mu took Li Er's words and once again refused Li Er's joining the gang.

remuneration.

Li Er is numb.

God Nima's reward, do you regard the majestic Emperor Tang as a laborer?

I lack your reward?

Li Er was very angry, he had already talked about this point, but Qin Mu still didn't want him to join the gang.

Really annoying.

Mangya Trading Company can no longer be measured by daily progress.

Chapter 217: Xuanzang seeks an audience (2/4)

Zhenguan year, winter.

The north wind howls, and the snow falls in Chang'an.

Li Er failed to join Mangya Trading Company.

The two big families are going into decline, and everything is settled.

It was rare for Qin Mu to spend a few days of leisure.

Take the opportunity to take Xiangcheng to play around and enjoy the winter scenery of various places in Gyeonggi-do.

but.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Li Er has been very distressed these two days.

Xuanzang, a Buddhist eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty, has asked for permission for the fifth time to travel westward to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Xuanzang is the most influential monk in Tang Buddhism today.

But Li Er wanted to prosper Taoism, so Xuanzang used Li Er as an excuse to delay his previous trips to the west.

This time, no matter what, I can't push it away.

otherwise.

will have extremely bad effects.

After all, Buddhism flourished unprecedentedly in the Tang Dynasty, especially during Li Yuan's period, which supported the development of Buddhism to a certain extent.

After much consideration, Li Er finally agreed to meet Xuanzang.

(PS: Anti-contradictory guide: Some fabrications, personal opinions, no intention to slander Buddhism, please refrain from bragging.)

Royal Palace.

Ganlu Temple.

Xuanzang dressed up and boarded the main hall, and performed Buddhist rituals to Li Er.

Li Er agreed to approach Xuanzang, and he was very happy, which at least gave him hope.

Now that Buddhism is becoming more and more influential, Li Er has to consider his request.

not to mention.

This time Xuanzang came prepared, as long as Li Er agreed to meet him, he was confident to persuade Li Er.

"Xuanzang sees His Majesty." Xuanzang stepped forward.

Li Er waved his hand, "Master Xuanzang, excuse me."

Buddhism is prevalent and its influence among the common people is getting bigger and bigger, which makes Li Er feel disgusted.

But face still has to get by.

"Your Majesty takes care of everything and works very hard for the country and the people. I hope your Majesty will forgive me for disturbing the poor monk."

Xuanzang smiled slightly, and once again bowed to Li Er.

Li Er smiled lightly, "It's okay, Master Xuanzang, please sit down and come to watch tea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xuanzang respectfully sat across from Li Er.

Li Er picked up the cup and blew gently, "What did Master Xuanzang learn this time?"

"Your Majesty, the prevalence of Buddhism is very beneficial to the court, His Majesty, and the common people. This poor monk's request to travel westward to obtain the scriptures is entirely for the consideration of the Tang Dynasty."

Xuanzang seized the opportunity and talked about the benefits of going west.

"The revival of Buddhism will give the people faith."

"Faith endows morality with the nature and meaning of self-discipline, and is the spiritual pillar of the people and the coordinates of moral choices."

"Faith can enhance the moral realm of the people, shape the moral personality of the people, prevent them from doing wrong and evil, and make them strict with themselves."

"Faith can completely change people from the inside out. Your Majesty can think about it, if the people in the world can change for the better from the inside out, from the heart, what kind of scene would it be like?"

Xuanzang's continuous narration made Li Er drowsy.

He wasn't interested in these at all, and Xuanzang's words were cloudy, too ideal.

Li Er couldn't listen at all.

Subsequently.

Xuanzang also started from a religious point of view, telling what kind of influence Buddhism would have on the people, and what benefits it would have on the court and Li Er.

In order to interest Li Er and agree to his trip to the west, Xuanzang even changed his previous attitude.

It is emphasized that the result of his westward journey will be of great help to the court's rule.

But when Xuanzang finished speaking, Li Erhaoxuan didn't fall asleep on the spot.

"His Majesty?"

Seeing that Li Er didn't respond for a long time, Xuanzang tried to call out.

"Master finished?" Li Er came to his senses suddenly.

Good guy.

This chanting-like explanation is very beneficial for treating insomnia.

But no matter how Xuanzang analyzed and how well he said, he couldn't impress Li Er at all.

In his mind, Taoism should truly flourish.

after all.

Taoism is the real traditional ancient religion.

Since Buddhism was introduced into the Tang Dynasty, Taoism has gradually declined.

No way, foreign monks can chant scriptures.

Over the years, Buddhism has become more and more powerful, and Taoism is obviously unable to do what it wants.

That's why something like this happened today.

in fact.

In order to help Taoism resist the impact of Buddhism, Li Er made a lot of efforts.

He specially asked Gao Shilian to write a "Clan Records", explaining the benefits of Taoism in detail.

He also said that the Li family and Taoist ancestor Laozi are of the same lineage.

of course.

In doing so, the traces of dominance are consolidated, slightly more pronounced.

But this did not affect Li Er's determination to promote Taoism.

In order to implement this point, it also expresses respect for the ancestors.

Every time there is a major celebration, he will specially arrange for Taoist priests to sit in front of monks and nuns.

In order to show Li Er's respect for Taoism.

It's a pity that although he strongly advocated Taoism, he still couldn't withstand the impact of Buddhism.

In recent years, there seems to be an irresistible trend.

After all, the enlightenment function of Buddhism is very good.

This is already the situation, Li Er is of course unwilling to agree to Xuanzang's westward journey.

The more Xuanzang expressed the importance of doing so, and the benefits to the court and the people.

The more he was unwilling to agree.

joke.

Doesn't this amount to putting Taoism to death?
