When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty heard this, he refused to comment and asked the officials to discuss it.

Prime Minister Xiao Xing came out of the class with a tooth wand in his hand and said, "Buddha is also a saint. Buddhism can promote kindness and curb evil. The theory of the netherworld can also help govern the country. It is useful."

Fu Yi argued, "Everything must be judged on its pros and cons. If you become a Buddhist and become a monk, you are fighting against the emperor with the body of a common man. This is unfilial."

"If a person like King Li Fu of Zhao respects the teachings of a fatherless person, will he still be related to him?"

"The Buddha's teaching is actually an evil teaching."

Li Fu came out and said, "Fu Cheng's words are conclusive and seem to have merit."

"If you have any questions, the Buddha in the West wants to spread Buddhism to the East."

"Does Fu Cheng have a way to resist?"

"My method is to push the boat along with the current. I annotate the Six Classics. I wonder what Fu Cheng thinks?"

Fu Yi was about to speak, but Prince Cheng Qian suddenly left his job.

He echoed Li Fuzhi's words, "What Erjue Thirteenth Brother said is very true. The Buddha's teachings have long been spread among the people. It is difficult to block it."

"If my thirteenth brother is the head of our Tang Buddhism family, I should feel at ease."

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty agreed, "What Qian Cheng said is reasonable. After the matter has been stated, it will be implemented immediately."

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered Zhang Daoyuan, Xiao Xing and others to invite Buddhas to build a Taoist temple.

This is over.

The Minister of Punishment reported the amnesty.

Reviews of cases over the years have revealed something fishy.

Among them, the "Chen Guangrui" case is the most bizarre.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said, "Chen Guangrui was the number one scholar of our dynasty. He was a bachelor of Wenyuan Palace. He married Yin Wenjiao, the daughter of the prime minister, and was later sent to Jiangzhou."

"Chen Guangrui and his wife went to Hongkou Ferry. Liu Hong, the boatman, saw the situation and killed Chen Guangrui, forcing the Chen Yin family to follow them."

"Liu Hong took Chen Guangrui's clothes, official documents, and took office in Jiangzhou with Chen Yin's family."

"Liu Hong pretended to be Chen Guangrui for eighteen years, and he was not executed until recently."

Tang Huang said, "This matter has not been settled."

"I remember that when Chen Xuanzang, the son of Chen Guangrui, reported to the capital, Prime Minister Yin and I asked the Yulin Army to capture him with 60,000 soldiers."

"What's so strange about this matter?"

The Minister of Punishment said, "Your Majesty, Chen Yin has committed suicide."

"Oh? I remember that Chen Guangrui came back from the dead?"

"His son Chen Xuanzang tore out Liu Hong's heart and liver alive at a riverside ferry. Then the Dragon King sent Chen Guangrui to return to life and resurrected him?"

The Minister of Punishment said, "This was said before, but during the review the day before yesterday, I found some doubts."

"What's the doubt?" Tang Huang asked.

"1. Chen Yin and Liu Hong have a grudge against each other for killing their husbands. How can they spend eighteen years peacefully?"

"Second, after Chen Guangrui won the first prize, he met Xiangqiu, the daughter of the prime minister, and got married. He went to Jiangzhou the next day. When did Chen Yin become pregnant?"

"Third, when Chen Guangrui died in Hongkou, she had just known Chen Yin for more than ten years. How did Chen Yin know that she was pregnant in just a few days?"

"I will investigate again."

"Chen Xuanzang gave birth three months after river thieves killed Chen Guangrui. His mother let her float with the river, and the abbot of Jinshan Temple picked it up."

"Excuse me for being stupid, but I haven't seen anyone born in three months of pregnancy."

"Gu Chen suspects that Chen Xuanzang's father is not Chen Guangrui."

"He is the son of Chen Yin's illicit affair. Fearing that the matter would be exposed, Chen Yin's father threw an hydrangea ball at Chen Guangrui to attract a bride, and rushed into the bridal chamber to cover it up."

"Chen Guangrui just took office urgently, but unexpectedly, his adulterous husband was intercepted and killed on the way."

"If that's true."

"Chen Xuanzang was the murderer who skinned his biological father alive and forced his biological mother to death."

"Sure, I ask your Majesty to judge whether Chen Xuanzang is guilty or not!"

The words of the Minister of Punishment shocked the whole audience.

Although wealthy families have many secrets like this, they are rarely exposed to the sun.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked Prime Minister Yin, "What does the Prime Minister think?"

The old Prime Minister trembled and knelt down on the ground, sobbing, "I am guilty, and I beg Your Majesty to allow me to retire and return to my hometown."

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sighed, "As promised."

The Minister of Punishment said, "I ask your Majesty to judge whether Chen Xuanzang is guilty or not!"

Emperor Tang replied, "Guilty."

The Minister of Punishment said, "According to the law, I should be beheaded. Can I be beheaded?"

"Yes."

The Minister of Punishment also said, "Behead immediately?"

"Behead immediately."

Three quarters past noon.

Tang Xuanzang was executed at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.

At the time of execution, there seemed to be cicadas chirping.

Afternoon, Mountains and Rivers Altar.

Zhang Daoyuan, Xiao Xing and others gathered more than a thousand monks and screened them one by one.

Among them, an eminent monk was selected. His lay name was Li and his name was Fu.

Zhang Daoyuan praised Li Fu, "He has good roots and high virtues."

Xiao Xing and others reported to the Holy Spirit.

Emperor Tang was delighted.

Li Shimin said, "The selection was indeed good. One look and you can tell that he is a monk with Zen heart and virtue."

"I give you the left monk's gang and the right monk's gang, and I will give you the post of monk gang, the great interpreter in the world."

Master Li Fu thanked him.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also gave him a five-color woven gold cassock and a Vairocana hat.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said to him, "Fu'er, you must choose a wise monk, then go to Huasheng Temple, choose a good and auspicious day, and start performing sutras."

Li Fu received the decree and lived in Huasheng Temple.

All the monks and priests in Huasheng Temple.

Li Fu led it.

Build a Zen couch today, decorate the merits tomorrow, and organize the music the day after.

In the end, a total of 1,200 monks, large and small, were selected.

Assign four hundred people to the upper hall, another four hundred to the middle hall, and another four hundred to the lower hall.

In the three halls, everything is in order and orderly.

Li Fu chose a good day again.

It was the third day of September in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan.

Start the July 749 "Water and Land Conference".

Until mid-October.

When everything is done, Li Fu made a declaration.

On the third day of September, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the civil and military classes, as well as relatives of the country and the emperor, went to Huasheng Temple to burn incense and listen to the lecture.

In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the year has passed.

Jiaxu in September.

The third day of the lunar month is a good day in Guimao.

The sky was clear and cloudless that day.

A relative of the Jinluan Kingdom, important civil and military ministers were in the temple.

Common people seem to be celebrating the New Year outside the temple.

I saw this dojo, resplendent and magnificent, with flying flags.

Just listen to the twelve hundred monks reciting various wonderful sutras.
