Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 448: Li 2 has a cool heart!

"Weichen follow the order~!"

Li Zexuan grinned, he was selling criticism in his heart, resisting the urge to spit out, bowed and said.

"Um~!"

Li Er nodded with satisfaction. Perhaps other kings would kill the unknown and new things indiscriminately, but as a pioneering Holy Lord, the first thing he thought of was not killing, but Develop the usefulness of Li Zexuan's new knowledge to the extreme.

As for whether Li Zexuan will threaten his rule, Li Er has never worried about this. He has confidence in himself, and he has confidence in his courtiers and generals.

The only thing that disappointed him a little was that the magical world Li Zexuan said was not the immortal world, so does there exist immortals~?

Li Zexuan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing we can be sure of, that is, there are absolutely no so-called gods in the nine heavens. Above the ten thousand-foot sky is a vast expanse of space, and there are countless earth-like objects floating in the space. The planet, the world in the dream, their technology can reach a place hundreds of thousands of miles away from the ground, so the Weichen is sure that there is no real fairy in the sky~!"

Li Er looked ugly and said: "Really so~?"

"It's true~!"

Li Zexuan saw that Li Er seemed not to give up on asking the immortal, so he continued:

"The teacher exhausted his entire life in pursuing the immortal way. In the end, he had nothing, and he still died. Before his death, his old man once said to the Weichen: The world wants to live forever, from the king to the ordinary people, the extension of life is the deepest Dream, but I don’t know that longevity itself is the biggest joke.

The Buddhism demands nirvana, while Taoism demands inaction. Confucianism seeks to achieve the same goal by different paths. In the end, it is to turn people into stones. Turtles live longer because of their slowness, trees live longer because they don’t move, and the only things that last forever are stones.

Destroying human desires, cultivating people, breaking five senses, blocking auditions, is this still human? I don't know the cold and heat, I don't know the smell of smell, I don't know right from wrong, there is no sense of family, no concept of family, no joy, no sorrow and joy, what is the difference with the dead wood?

The reason why people are different from beasts is that we have thinking, know etiquette, know family affection, can work, can create, can transform the world, can also create the world, so that all things in the world can be used by me. This is human Duty.

Exceeding one's own abilities in an attempt to pursue illusory longevity, but I don't know that there is an arrangement in the sky. If you want to live long, you have to turn into a stone, but the world is ridiculous as a moth! "

Yan Lide and Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly praised Li Zexuan for general knowledge and rationality. They felt that, at this point, there is so much evidence that Li Er should no longer think about immortality. Right~?

Facts have proved that it is true. After listening to a long passage of Li Zexuan, Li Er's heart was cold. He was silent for a while before he sighed quietly and said: "On your previous "Journey to the West" The recorded gods, buddhas and ghosts are all fabricated~?"

Li Zexuan was shocked, saying that Li Er suppressed Buddhism, but he didn’t expect that he would still read this kind of "apostolic" novels. Previously, Li Zexuan did not print the "Journey to the West" as a book, mainly because of his consideration. Li Er’s attitude towards Buddhism, he was worried for a while that Li Er would ask him to settle accounts after seeing this novel, but he did not expect that Li Er not only “secretly” finished reading it, but did not trouble him.

Actually, he thinks too much about this.

It has been spread in later generations that Li Er suppressed Buddhism and emphasized Taoism, mainly because Li Jiazun Laozi Li Er was the ancestor, and praised Taoism for the orthodoxy and sacredness of Tang Dynasty imperial power. However, in fact, Li Er did not have much hatred of Buddhism. On the contrary, the entire Li family has many connections with Buddhism.

Li Er's boyhood was the period when Buddhism became popular throughout the country. At that time, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Sui Yang and his sons believed in Buddhism, "The people of the world are popular and admire each other. The folk Buddhist scriptures are dozens of times more than the six sutras."

The influence of Buddhism has penetrated widely into all social strata and all aspects of social life. At that time, worshipping Buddhism had become a common practice both inside and outside the court. Of course, the noble family of Li is no exception.

In the second year of Daye, nine-year-old Li Er was suffering from eye diseases. Li Yuan personally went to Chang'an Caotang Temple to worship Buddha for blessing. After Li Er's illness recovered, Li Yuan built a stone Buddha and sent it to the temple for worship. These have to be imprinted in Li Eryou's heart. Later, he never forgot the experience of his childhood, and he personally wrote poems to praise Kumarajiva, the founder of Caotang Temple, to express his respect and memory of the former monks.

In the early days of the Li family’s respect for Buddhism, it can also be seen from the nicknames of Li Yuan’s sons. Li Jiancheng’s nickname is Bishamen and Li Yuanji’s nickname is Sanhu. These are all names related to Buddhist culture, although Li Er’s There is no relevant record in the history of milk names, but it is certain that it is also related to Buddhism.

In the three years of Wude, Li Er, who was still the King of Qin, was ordered to fight against Wang Shichong and fought in Songluo the following year. Thirteen monks such as Zhicao, Huiyan, and Tanzong who were stationed in the fief of Baiguzhuang of Shaolin Temple captured Zheng General Wang Renze~IndoMTL.com~ and dedicated them to the Tang army. Li Shimin took advantage of the momentum to defeat Wang Shichong, this is the famous thirteen stick monks who saved Tang. Because of the Wang incident, Li Er had a good impression of Shaolin Temple and Buddhism.

However, during the Xuanwu Gate, Buddhism secretly assisted Li Jiancheng, which made Li Er very annoyed afterwards, and felt a little bit of disgust towards Buddhism. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Li Tang once respected Lao Tzu as the ancestor, Li Er Simply put forward the policy of "Tao first and then Buddha".

But he has not yet issued any decree that clearly targets Buddhism. In the Tang Dynasty, the Li family pursued a policy of coexisting Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Li Er was the founder of this policy.

"Uh~! Back to your majesty, the plot in "Journey to the West" is indeed fabricated out of thin air~! I also hope that your majesty will not take it to heart. After all, seeking immortality and longevity is just an illusory delusion~!"

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

"That's it~! I am here to see how your college is preparing today, not to discuss with you what to ask for immortality."

Li Er wanted to wave his hand clearly, and said that only then did he notice the huge sand table inside the house, he glanced roughly, and suddenly surprised: "Li Zexuan, what is this~?"

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

Li Zexuan was secretly scolding Li Er as shameless. Just now there was no one to forcefully explain. At this time, when Li Er asked, he replied:

"Your Majesty, here is the Yanhuang Academy designed by Weichen. Then I will bother Yan Shangshu to send some skilled craftsmen to build on Yunshan Mountain in Meicun~!"
