Chapter 1981 Can the Closed-Door Policy Be Withdrawn?

The night of Zuixianju is bustling and lively, while the night of the temples in Luoyang Palace is cold, just like the waning moon that has just risen, and even the light does not bring a little warmth.

Some people are silently chanting scriptures. They are too nervous during the day, so they relax.

Some are still crying sadly, unable to feel the light of the future, and want to return to secular life.

The sound of knocking wooden fish in the temple keeps on beating. The monks take out the lamp oil hidden in the cellar and calm down to copy the scriptures.

When facing the catastrophe, they are calmer than ordinary people. There are many words to comfort people in the scriptures.

When many monks and Taoists are in peace, a monk and a Taoist priest sit on the southern wall of the imperial city of Ziwei City.

The two are drinking and eating sea urchin steamed eggs and freshly steamed hairy crabs, and drinking aged rice wine.

Not far away stood the palace maids and eunuchs, ready to do things at any time according to orders, and record what the two people said.

They seemed more respectful. The monk was Shan Wuwei who came to Chang'an the year before last, and the Taoist priest was Ye Fashan, the master of Princess Jinxian.

Others are anxious, but they are not, let alone afraid.

Shan Wuwei has helped to promote the goodness of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which was the condition for exchanging with Li Yi.

Li Yi provided paper and ink, and Princess Jinxian helped to print books.

Ye Fashan has also met Li Yi, and the two have a good relationship.

"When I first arrived in Luoyang, I never thought that Li Yi was so popular in Luoyang. Buddhism and Taoism will eventually have a disaster."

Shan Wuwei took a spoonful of sea urchin steamed egg, showed a satisfied expression, and talked about the current situation.

"This disaster may last for a hundred years. Li Yi will not let outsiders interfere with the government again, and he doesn't want the people to believe in Buddhism and Taoism."

Ye Fashan said as he took tools to disassemble the crab meat and eat it. He came with Li Yi's team.

These days he strolled in various temples and talked to other people.

He has a high status. When the people attacked the temples, he stood and watched. The people just took things and didn't hurt people.

At night, he returned to Ziwei City to live and met Shan Wuwei who had experienced the same thing. The two discussed and went to the city tower to drink.

Shan Wuwei nodded slowly: "If they didn't go to Longze and pay 10% of the tax, how could there be today's disaster?"

He agreed with Ye Fashan's statement that Li Yi did not allow others to interfere with the court's work.

Bi Gou had a good relationship with you before, so you went to him to ask for the cancellation of the tax and see Li Yi's reaction.

Who is Li Yi? How could he let Buddhism and Taoism override the laws of the Tang Dynasty?

Look at the temples and monasteries in Jingzhao Prefecture, which one does not pay taxes? If you have land, you have to pay. The merit box is managed by people sent by the court. When the time comes, you will be divided into your money, and the court will take the bulk.

You said you lack money for printing books, and Princess Jinxian didn't ask you for money when she printed the scriptures for you.

It's not possible to go to Luoyang. It was confiscated before, so you saved a lot.

Ye Fashan ate a bite of crab meat: "Not only Buddhism and Taoism, but Confucianism is also suppressed by Li Yi. Those Confucius Temples have to pay taxes. If the children of the family want to become high officials, they have to take the imperial examination."

Ye Fashan said confidently, he guessed Li Yi's thoughts.

Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism all need to reduce their influence.

"Next year's imperial examination will only test the Analects of Confucius. The year after next, it is estimated that other books will be changed to break away from Confucianism." Shan Wuwei gave his own analysis.

"By then, Buddhism and Taoism will be safe. Let's see how Confucianism and the big families deal with it!" Ye Fashan sighed after he finished speaking.

He felt that Li Yi was a man who dealt with all other things that could affect the government bit by bit.

He figured out the key thing, one word... money.

Only with money can you support the army, and with money you can let the people live a good life.

And the way to make money is to work, and to make valuable things with work, including kitchen work.

"It's rare to have one person in a thousand years." Shan Wuwei gave Li Yi an evaluation.

He looked at the history of the Tang Dynasty and above, including his side, and no one could do what Li Yi did in the same time.

"Let's go into seclusion tomorrow!" Ye Fashan continued to eat crab meat and wanted to hide.

"Seclusion!" Shan Wuwei agreed. If they didn't go into seclusion, it would be time for them to fight Li Yi.

It is guaranteed that they will not win the fight, and no matter whether they win or lose, their status in the hearts of the people will decline.

The people don't care who you are, fighting with Li Dongzhu is a bad person.

Whoever came up with the idea can go, I didn't mention the matter of looking for Li Yi to discuss Taoism.

...

The sky is bright again, and the people are still living their own lives, and some people are excited to talk about what happened yesterday.

The temples continue to be cleaned, but no one burns incense, even if a small number of people still believe, but they are afraid of being beaten.

Princess Jinxian arranged people to send things to monks and Taoists, and many monks and Taoists announced that they would be in seclusion.

No one is a fool, rushing to the front at this time, it is guaranteed to be bad.

Whoever came up with the idea, let him figure it out.

Aren't there people coming down from Songshan to Luoyang Palace? Tell them to go, they are powerful.

Maybe when Li Yi sees them, they will show their power, and Li Yi will kneel down and beg for mercy, right?

And at this moment, those who had united to deal with Li Yi before are now quarreling with each other and shirking their responsibilities.

Especially the hosts, they thought of other ways, but they didn't expect the people of Luoyang to react like this, it was too intense.

Now it looks like they are going to die, and it feels like it's no use looking for powerful people behind the scenes, so they can only do it themselves.

When they got up in the morning, they were full of sorrow, and everyone held a meeting and argued endlessly.

The people in Zuixianju got up late in the morning. After taking a bath yesterday, they participated in entertainment activities, relaxed their bodies and minds, and slept soundly.

At around nine o'clock, everyone got up and looked for a place to eat.

Li Yi had already finished eating. He got up early on purpose. He was afraid that a lot of questions would be asked to him during the meal, which would affect his eating.

He took Princess Yongmu to eat vegetables and stay away from others.

"Li Lang, do you think they will cancel the discussion? It's not decided yet, it's just rumors spreading."

Princess Yongmu took a small shovel and said worriedly.

She was thinking about other people's property, half of it. If she didn't compare, where could she get it?

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky: "It's really possible! What if no one is willing to come forward to compete with me, and they are just shy?"

Li Yi was worried and was ready to use other people's property to provide benefits to the people.

Xiaolan looked at the two people and UU read www.uukanshu． netｔ rolled his eyes: "There are rumors that anyone who dares not to compare is an evil way, so he should not stay in any temple or temple."

When she spoke, she emphasized the word "small path" and refused to admit it when the time came.

Compare or not? Forcing you to come.

"It's just that it's too mean, as if I want to seize their property. Am I one of those people who takes advantage of others?"

Li Yi is still in a dilemma. When someone gives in, you still knock on the door. It doesn't look impressive enough.

The person eating on the other side, Su Ting, also mentioned the same problem.

"There is no telling what can be done. They want to withdraw. How can we stop them?"

"Can't count? Humph!" Yao Chong sneered, he knew how to scheme with people.

"Is there anything Yuan Zhi can do?" Bi Gou asked.

"Why use me? They have their own experts who know the truth." Yao Chong shook his head slightly.
