But I heard Li Shimin say, "I know you are busy with the wedding recently, and you have also filed a leave of absence. If you say you are dereliction of duty, it is not necessary. I am not the emperor who takes his anger at will. I came to you to hear your opinions and see if there is a safe solution to your attitude. This Buddhist and Taoist matter is the most troublesome thing."

Qin Hao was moved. To be honest, if you think about it from the perspective of others, you must take the opportunity to spank. No wonder so many heroes are promising to this emperor. They are really authentic in their work.

After all, Li Yuan played an absolute role in it. Objectively speaking, he just added fuel to the fire, and was half tempted and half forced under Li Yuan's tyranny. To be fair, this fire should indeed be released on Li Yuan, but he is his. To be honest, Qin Hao is ready to be cleaned up.

But Li Shimin didn't get angry. Except for Fengyan, everyone else was promoted, but he didn't even beat him, and he swallowed his anger, as if he was fine.

Awesome.

Thinking of this, Qin Hao's moved voice choked up. At this time, it was a great opportunity to show his loyalty. He secretly pinched his butt with his hand, and squeezed out a few tears with his touching force and said, "The Lord treats me like this, I can't guarantee that I will be crushed to pieces."

When Li Shimin saw Qin Hao so well-informed, he couldn't help but feel happy. Smart people didn't have to say too much. The two of them didn't mention Pei Ji, but they all understood the meaning. This was the method of emperor's magic. The most effective method for emperors to win people's hearts has been nothing more than to show kindness and forgiveness. The most feared thing is to show the blind man a glare, otherwise he would have to be frustrated to death.

So, Qin Hao cried and expressed his sincerity half-true, while Li Shimin performed a mixed performance of his mind, and everything was so harmonious.

It's time to talk about the serious matters.

"Zhengheng, the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism has always been a troublesome thing. This time, I was so reckless, but are there any unscrupulous difficulties?"

Qin Hao smiled bitterly and said, "I really have no difficulties when I return to the emperor. When Journey to the West, I told my younger brothers and sisters when I was in Luoyang. At that time, I was just a disaster victim and didn't think so much. Later, after returning to Chang'an, I was naturally spread more and more, so I just published a book, but I didn't expect the response to this big."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What's going on with this so-called Buddhist Bodhisattva? With your relationship with Taoism, you can ignore such monks."

Qin Hao had no choice but to explain: "It is for a kind of flower, Zen holy flower. To be precise, this should not be a flower, but a crop. I heard from my father that I know some things, as light as silk and as soft as mud. The most important thing is to be warm, and it can be weave it into cloth and fill it with clothes at the same quality, which is not much worse than ordinary mink fur, and it is very comfortable to wear on the body."

Li Shimin stood up and asked, "How much is this product yield?"

“More than marijuana.”

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned red, and he paced back and forth excitedly, saying to himself: "Old God Xiao is really a god. But since he knows the use of this thing, he has never spoken to the Sui court. He is really cold. What is the use of such a god?"

Qin Hao quickly lowered his head and pretended to be mute. He couldn't explain the problem without pushing Xiao Ji. He said so many mistakes and let Li Shimin figure it out himself.

After a while, Li Shimin said, "Is there any finished product of this flower? Take me to see it quickly. If this thing is really as you said, I will be named a marquis."

"There are a few flowers, which are inherited from Zen Buddhism. They were all taken by me, but they were not necessary to be named a marquis. After all, this is also a Buddhist sacred flower. I am just a trick to take advantage of the opportunity to enthrone a Buddhist sect teacher by the court."

"Oh? The Buddhist Holy Flower? Could it be that the Buddha really gave me blessing?"

Qin Hao laughed and said, "It's just nonsense. This thing is a specialty of India and a wild flower growing on the roadside. It's because this thing in the Central Plains did not look fresh, so it became the so-called holy flower."

Li Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Generally, people like him who came from the battlefield were actually disrespectful to ghosts and gods. When he heard that it was not given by the Buddha, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he was surprised: "Since this is just a fate of Zen monks, why do you still enthrone them as national teachers? Isn't this going to make Buddhism bigger? In contrast, I am actually more inclined to Taoism."

"Yes, the temples occupy a large area and are not produced. Moreover, the golden statues waste a lot of wealth. These are all the evils of Buddhism, but this cotton must be used. Even if we don't say it, they will promote the blessings of Buddhist holy flowers and Buddhas everywhere. Instead of letting them talk nonsense at that time, we should take the initiative to expose it and unify the official public opinion."

Li Shimin thought about it and knew that Qin Hao's thinking was often different from that of ordinary people. So he didn't look at it first, but asked: "Zhengheng is also a heritage of the aliens. He thought that these two schools of Buddhism and Taoism would be more thorough than others. After hearing what you said, he seemed to have no good feelings for Buddhism. How could he become the Bodhisattva they mentioned? Why would you say your view of Buddhism?"

Qin Hao had already made some plans for this matter. Since Li Shimin asked, he simply said: "Buddhism has a saying about Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. Hinayana Buddhism does not care about it for the time being. The various schools and sects of Mahayana Buddhism have different opinions. It is undeniable that there are indeed many high monks in Buddhism and great wisdom in Buddhist scriptures, but most of them are still ordinary people. Ordinary people do not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. They often believe in whatever the master says. If they expand like this, once there are more believers, it will eventually be an unstable force, not to mention the taxes, land, gold, silver and wealth that are wasted as a result."

This idea is almost the same as that of Li Shimin, and then asked, "Why don't this mean that Buddhism is useless?"

"No, I think Buddhism has its own weaknesses but also its strengths. If there is a wise lord who can play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, then the Buddhist monks may be the sharp blade of my Tang Dynasty."

"Oh? It seems that I am still much short of the Ming Lord. Let me tell you, how can I be a sharp blade?"

Qin Hao laughed and said that in recent years, there have been more and more Buddhist sects. Some people say that they can be reborn in the Pure Land by chanting Amitabha Buddha in the next life. These are naturally nonsense, but they spread among the foolish people very quickly.

Li Shimin nodded, and these are naturally the so-called Pure Land Sect. Although they have not yet officially established a sect, their prototypes are already in place.

Then he heard Qin Hao say, "The Eastern Turks surrendered, and millions of people were placed on the Hetao Plain. If one day the central government changes and there will be another ambitious person on the grassland, what if all the grassland people live by water and grass, gather in wartime, and shepherd them in peacetime. If these nonsense are spread on the grassland and the court is in charge of the central government, what if the monk Guan is still simpler than Guan Xiong."
