"Wei Chen obeys the order~!"

Li Zexuan grinned, but he was sold out in his heart. He resisted the urge to complain, and bowed to give orders.

"Hmm~!"

Li Er nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps other kings would kill off unknown new things indiscriminately, but as a pioneering and enterprising Holy Master, Li Er's first thought was not to kill, but to kill Li Zexuan. The usefulness of knowledge is developed to the extreme.

As for whether Li Zexuan would threaten his rule, Li Er did not worry about this at all. He had confidence in himself, and he also had confidence in his subjects and generals.

The only thing that disappointed him was that the magical world that Li Zexuan mentioned was not an immortal world, so are there any immortals~?

Li Zexuan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing we can be sure of, that is, there is absolutely no so-called immortals above the nine heavens, and above the ten thousand zhang sky is a vast expanse of space, and there are countless planets like the earth suspended in the space. In that world, their technology can reach places hundreds of thousands of miles away from the ground, so Wei Chen is very sure that there is no real immortal in the sky~!"

Li Er looked ugly and said, "Really?"

"Indeed~!"

Seeing that Li Er didn't seem to give up on the immortal question, Li Zexuan continued:

"The teacher exhausted all his energy to pursue the immortal way, but in the end he got nothing, and he still died. Before his death, the old man once said to Wei Chen: "Everyone in the world wants to live forever. From kings to ordinary people, the extension of life is the deepest dream. I don't know that longevity itself is the biggest joke.

Buddhism demands silence, Taoism demands inaction, and Confucianism seeks to be righteous. Tortoises live long because they are slow, trees live long because they do not move, and only stones last forever.

Destroying human desires, destroying human relationships, breaking the five senses, and preventing audition, is this still a human being? I don't know the cold and heat, I don't know the smell and smell, I don't know right from wrong, I don't have the idea of ​​family and country, I don't have the concept of family affection, I don't have joy, I don't know the joys and sorrows. What's the difference between a dead tree?

The reason why human beings are different from beasts is that we have thinking, understand etiquette, know family affection, can work, create, transform the world, and create the world, so that everything in the world can be used by us. This is the duty of human beings.

Exceeding his own ability, he tried to pursue the illusory longevity, but he didn't know that God had arranged it long ago. If he wanted to live forever, he would have to turn into a stone. It's ridiculous that people in the world are stupid like moths to a flame! "

Yan Lide and Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, and praised Li Zexuan for his general knowledge and reasoning. They felt that at this point, there was still so much sufficient evidence that Li Er would no longer have any unreasonable thoughts about Immortal Dao Changsheng~ ?

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Li Er listened to a long paragraph of Li Zexuan's words, and his heart was half cold. After he was silent for a while, he sighed faintly and said: "What was recorded in your "Journey to the West" earlier Gods, Buddhas and ghosts are all made up~?"

Li Zexuan was shocked and said that Li Er suppressed Buddhism and Taoism, but he never thought that he would read such "deviant" novels. Before, he did not publish "Journey to the West" as a book and sold it, mainly because of the consideration of Li Er and his wife. For a while, he was worried that Li Er would find him to settle accounts after reading the novel, but he did not expect that Li Er not only read it "secretly", but also did not trouble him.

In fact, this is all he thinks too much.

It was passed down in later generations that Li Er suppressed Buddhism and emphasized Taoism, mainly because Li Jia respected Lao Tzu Li Er as his ancestor and praised Taoism, which was beneficial to the orthodoxy and sanctity of the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty. The Li family has many connections with Buddhism.

Li Er's boyhood was the period when Buddhism swept the country. At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui and their son believed deeply in Buddhism.

The influence of Buddhism has penetrated widely into all social classes and all aspects of social life. At that time, worshipping Buddha had become a common ethos both inside and outside the imperial court. Of course, the big aristocratic family of the Li family was no exception.

In the second year of Daye, nine-year-old Li Er suffered from eye disease. Li Yuan personally went to the Thatched Temple in Chang'an to worship Buddha for blessing. After Li Er recovered, Li Yuan made a stone Buddha and sent it to the temple for worship. These could not but leave a mark on Li Er's young mind. Later, he never forgot this childhood experience, and he wrote poems to praise Kumarajiva, the patriarch of Caotang Temple, to express his respect and memory of the former monks.

The Li family respected Buddhism in the early stage, which can also be seen from the nicknames of Li Yuan's sons. Li Jiancheng's nickname is Bishamon, and Li Yuanji's nickname is Sanhu. These are names related to Buddhist culture. Although Li Er's nicknames are listed in the history books There is no relevant record, but it is certain that it is also related to Buddhism.

In the third year of Wude, Li Er, who was still the king of Qin, was ordered to fight Wang Shichong in the east, and the following year he fought in Songluo. Thirteen monks, including Zhicao, Huijie, Tanzong, who were stationed in the fief of Baiguzhuang of Shaolin Temple, captured Zheng general Wang Renze in one fell swoop and offered them to the Tang army. Li Er took advantage of the situation to defeat Wang Shichong. Because of this, Li Er also had a great impression of Shaolin Temple and Buddhism.

However, during the change of Xuanwu Gate, Buddhism secretly helped Li Jiancheng, which made Li Er very annoyed afterwards, and he also had such a bad feeling for Buddhism. At the beginning of Li Tang’s founding, he once respected Laozi as the first ancestor, and Li Er simply proposed The policy of "Taoism first, then Buddhahood" was adopted.

But he has so far not issued any decrees that are obviously aimed at Buddhism. In the Tang Dynasty, the Li family pursued a policy of coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Li Er was the founder of this policy.

"Uh~! Going back to Your Majesty, the plot in "Journey to the West" was indeed fabricated out of thin air by Wei Chen~! I hope Your Majesty don't take it to heart,

After all, seeking immortal longevity is just an illusory delusion~! "

Li Zexuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and cupped his hands.

"That's enough~! I'm here to see how your academy's preparations are going, not to discuss with you what to ask for immortals."

Li Eryu waved his hand in disbelief and said, only then did he notice the huge sand table in the house, he glanced at it, and suddenly said in surprise: "Li Zexuan, what is this~?"

Previously, he and Empress Changsun only heard Li Zexuan's description of the dream outside the door, but did not hear Li Zexuan and Yan Lide discussing the academy drawings.

Li Zexuan was secretly scolding Li Er for being shameless. There was no one who forced the explanation just now. When he heard Li Er's question, he replied:

"Your Majesty, this is the Yanhuang Academy designed by Weichen. Next, I will trouble Yan Shangshu to send some skilled craftsmen to build it on the top of Yunshan Mountain in Mei Village~!"
