This situation reached an unparalleled climax during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Many familiar gods appeared in this era, such as the famous Ye Fashan, Luo Gongyuan, Lu Dongbin and Zhang Guolao of the Eight Immortals of Shangdong, were all the best among the gods that emerged in this era.

Of course, among the above names, there is also a person who claims to have a fairy-like and can travel to the eight extremes. The most famous exiled immortal in the world, Li Qinglian! Of course, some people may ask, how could Li Bai be a god? In fact, Li Bai was born from his mother's dream of Taibai Venus in his arms. In other words, Li Bai is Taibai Venus descending to earth!

Taibai Venus is not a god, who is a god? If Taibai Venus is not Taibai Venus, can that Bima Wen go to heaven?

Therefore, in the legendary novels of the Tang Dynasty, there are many stories about Taoist gods playing with greedy monks, and everyone can understand that even scholars should consider a political correctness issue. For example, the current river crab god, and the greedy monks in the Tang Dynasty.

In such a general environment, Buddhism could only be described as miserable during the Li Tang Dynasty. First, after the suppression of two generations of emperors Li Yuan and Li Shimin, it greatly damaged its vitality. It was finally hoped that Wu Zetian mm would be in power, but it had not yet rebounded strongly for a few years. With Wu Zetian's death, Buddhism, which had just recovered a little vitality, encountered a cold winter again.

The worst thing was that when Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty was reigned, after a large-scale top-down campaign to destroy Buddhism, almost all the thirteen Buddhist sects failed. According to historical records, the entire Huichang campaign to destroy Buddhism was demolished in a total of more than 4,600 temples, more than 4,000 Lan Ruo, 260,500 monks and nuns, and 150,000 slaves and servants were liberated.

Also, and most importantly, 48 million mu of land were confiscated, and gold and silver were confiscated.

This is the real hard work for hundreds of years, and it’s all night before liberation!

Of course, if you use this number to compare the number of monks and the fields they owned by Master Daoxin about the number of monks at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the fields they own, I believe everyone can see it. Under the restraint of the Tang Dynasty, from the end of the Sui Dynasty to the reign of Emperor Wuzong of Tang, the number of monks and nuns did not increase much, and the fields did not increase much.

Of course, the temples mentioned here only refer to the 4,600 nationally recognized legal temples, rather than those illegal temples such as Lan Ruo. Yes, it is Lan Ruo. You read that right, it is Lan Ruo. You are not mistaken. The wind blowing does not write the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl.

In fact, Lan Ruo was actually a synonym for those black temples that were not recognized by those countries in ancient times, rather than a special reference to a certain temple.

From these comparative data, we can also see that the policy of attacking monks that emperors of the Tang Dynasty have always adhered to is very effective.

This can also illustrate another problem. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, monks had so much money and land. In the early Tang Dynasty, for the stability of the country, they did not levy the property of these monks. In other words, these monks were actually taking advantage of the Sui Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty.

The rest of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty could have lasted for two hundred years before robbing the monks. I don’t know if it should be said that Emperor Wuzong of Tang Li Yan is smart or that the emperors before him were all good people. Of course, among these good emperors, people like Li Xian and Li Xian should be removed. In fact, they don’t have the ability to rob Buddhism even if they want to!

Wukong looked at Master Daoxin calmly. Others may not know about this movement that occurred two hundred years later, but he knew clearly from a thousand and five hundred years later. Of course, Wukong may not remember the specific data, but the monks and temples at that time were almost wiped out, and he still knew clearly that almost all the fields were confiscated.

So if the other monks in Dalin Temple may object after hearing what Master Daxin said, but only Wukong himself truly understood what Master Daxin did.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was precisely because Zen Buddhism implemented these two decisions by Master Daoxin that Zen Buddhism could survive the Huichang campaign of Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty, and led to the prosperity of the five sects and seven sects developed by Zen Buddhism after Huineng, gradually replacing the originally prosperous Buddhist sects and unifying the entire Zen world.

"Master, I have received the teachings!" Wukong sincerely bowed to Daoxin. Master Daoxin is indeed a wise person!

Just as Wukong said to Cui Yining, Lu Chengde is very irritable now. This can be seen from the study room where Lu Chengde is located, which seems to be a typhoon passing through. Just when the chief manager Lu Zhi came to the door of the study, he heard a loud noise. Lu Zhi estimated that this should be the last bookshelves in the study room being kicked down by the eldest son.

After knocking on the door twice gently, Lu Zhi stopped, then bent down respectfully and stood at the door. Then, after a few more bangs came from the study room, Lu Chengde's voice came out, "Is it Uncle Zhi? Come in!"

After hearing Lu Chengde's summons, Lu Zhi gently pushed open the door and walked in. His eyes did not stay in the messy study room for a moment, but looked respectfully at an area in front of his heels, "Young Master, are you looking for me?"

"Yeah!" Lu Chengde nodded, then closed his eyes and breathed a deep breath, "Uncle Zhi, you should know which old thief Gai Yanju tells King Liang that I have affair with Li Tang, right?"

"I understand, eldest son." Lu Zhi replied in a low voice.

"I just decided to contact Li Tang, but he found out that it was traitor. There must be traitors in our family." Lu Chengde suddenly turned around and kicked the cases that fell on the side, making a loud bang, "Uncle Zhi, go check it for me. Everyone who knows that I plan to defect to Li Tang must check it."

"Yes, the eldest son!" Lu Zhi agreed.

"There is a traitor at home, and there is a traitor at my house." With a bang, Lu Chengde kicked the case under his feet into the corner, and then let out a long sigh. His whole body seemed to be calming down, "Okay, I'm not angry, I'm not angry, this is a natural thing. Haven't we also installed a lot of people in Gai Yanju's family? We shouldn't be angry, I'm not angry..."

With a bang, Lu Chengde had already rushed forward and kicked the case two steps again, "Fuck! How could I not be angry? It would be fine if the Gu family and Zhu family were installing traitors in my house. I didn't expect that, I really couldn't imagine that Gai Yanju had even installed traitors in my house. That pig-headed and pig-brained guy actually had such a scheming. Uncle Zhi can you think of it?

"Young Master, you didn't even think of it, how could I think of it?" Lu Zhi smiled, "But you, are you sure, your eldest master? Did Gai Yanju tell you to King Liang?"

ps: Ah, Feng Chuan really didn’t know that Sanjiang has become so awesome now. She actually recommended Sanjiang and voted, and it seems that the top five can occupy such a large position.

So Feng Chuan cursed and begged the brothers to help Feng Chuan go to Sanjiang to vote. As for the reasons for the ten words, I have also thought about it for everyone, so I will write:

The monks of the Tang Dynasty are good, just good, just good!

How do you think of this reason?
