    He did not expect that the situation would change so quickly. Originally, he and the prince were both Buddhists and planned to intercede for the Wutai monks together. Even if they could not pardon Dao Jian and his two crimes, they at least asked the emperor to pardon the other monks.  Little did he know that Zhao Ji had pushed the situation to this point with just a few words.  Zhao Ji has been on the throne for so many years. This emperor is not in vain. His ability to control the situation in the court is certainly not weak.  He looked at Zhang Shangying with a sneer, and in his heart he hated this guy who encouraged his son to go against him.  No father wants his son to go against him under the instigation of others.  Zhang Shangying couldn¡¯t help but shed a cold snort, and was forced into a blind corner by Zhao Ji.  He suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, Buddhism is compassionate and saves people. It teaches people to be good and helps to govern the world. On the other hand, Taoism is useless. Apart from deceiving people, what other benefits does it have? Your Majesty  , many emperors have died under the Taoist golden elixir in the past" Zhao Ji gritted his fine teeth tightly and chuckled: "Arrogant" He was so angry in his heart that he was completely cursing himself to die!  Before he could finish his words, he heard laughter.  That voice was none other than Wen Fei's.  It immediately attracted everyone's attention.  At this time, it seemed that Wen Fei had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and stood up.  Others thought he was showing off for such a crucial occasion, but they didn't know that Wen Fei just wanted to end the banquet quickly and go home early to observe the changes in the jade pendant.  Especially, after the jade pendant changes, can it still travel through time.  Although Daqing Hall is the main hall of the palace, it can¡¯t actually seat many people.  Most of them are low-ranking officials.  They all had no choice but to sit outside the hall.  Fortunately, they are all sitting at separate tables.  Wen Fei's seat was even above Prince Zhao Heng, faintly competing with Zhao Ji.  At this time Wen Fei laughed, many officials had nothing to do with him.  They all said in their hearts: It¡¯s coming, it¡¯s coming.  Father Shang finally spoke, but he didn't know what he would say.  The ministers in the court are all disciples of Confucianism. They studied Confucian classics and entered official careers. Even if they believe in Buddhism and Taoism, there are very few people like Zhang Shangying who are known as Buddhist protectors in history.  So it's none of my business.  No one would show up at this juncture.  Be a spectator!  Wen Fei laughed loudly and stretched.  I just feel refreshed and not much comfortable anymore.  As soon as he came back to his senses, he heard Zhang Shangying's words and burst into laughter.  Ask directly: "When the Tang Dynasty was prosperous in the early Tang Dynasty, what did you believe in? Taoism. After the late Tang Dynasty, what did you believe in? Buddhism." This is a historical fact. Every minister who can get a position in the Daqing Palace must read poetry.  Book.  Zhang Shangying could only argue that this was not a Buddhist process, but he could not say that Wen Fei was wrong.  The early days of the Tang Dynasty.  Taoism and Buddhism coexist, with China's native Taoism as the main state religion.  Li Yuan claims to be a descendant of Taoist Laojun.  The Ming family held the Tao Te Ching; in the early Tang Dynasty, the country was strong and its martial arts were outstanding; but Buddhism gradually flourished and became the most prominent religion during the Wu Zetian era in the middle Tang Dynasty; almost at the same time, the Tang Dynasty suddenly fell into the abyss and failed to recover.  After Wu Zetian received the Buddha's bones for the second time, she died of illness a few months later.  A year after Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty welcomed the Buddha's bones, he was poisoned and died suddenly in the main hall after vomiting blood.  Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty used his hair to return the Buddha's bones, but was poisoned to death by his wife and daughter a few months later.  Suzong of the Tang Dynasty died suddenly the next year after welcoming the Buddha's bones.  Yizong of the Tang Dynasty welcomed the Buddha's bones and used national power to welcome him at an unprecedented cost. Unfortunately, he died suddenly a few months later. The Huangchao Rebellion broke out the following year, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty entered the road of destruction.  These things were told one by one by Wen Fei.  These are historical facts and Zhang Shangying cannot refute them.  But he said: "This is just because the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not practice political affairs. Buddhism can only benefit governance, but it cannot replace political affairs! If the emperors and ministers of Li Tang Dynasty did not believe in Buddhism, the Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago" Wen Fei sneered: "Then  Let me ask you, let¡¯s not talk about distant places. When did Xixia become strong? How many Buddhists were there in Xixia during Li Yuanhao¡¯s time? Let me ask you again, when Tubo fought with the Tang Dynasty for Hexi and even invaded Chang¡¯an.  How prosperous, did it decline after large-scale belief in Buddhism? And the Nanzhao Liao Kingdom Throughout history, whether in China or foreign countries, the countries where Buddhism flourished quickly weakened and were destroyed.  But why?¡± After saying these words, all the ministers¡¯ expressions changed drastically, but few looked at the issue of Buddhism from this historical perspective.  Now that Wen Fei said it, they couldn't help but feel horrified when they thought about it.  It seems that every country that believes in Buddhism on a large scale will fall into decline step by step How arrogant was the Liao Kingdom when it conquered and conquered it?  Now in the country, even the king of the country believes in Buddhism and wants to be reincarnated in the Song Dynasty.  Even the emperor is like this, and you can actually imagine what the atmosphere of the entire country is like.  There were millions of cavalry, but after Tan Yuan's alliance, he never thought about destroying the Northern Song Dynasty Zhang Shangying couldn't argue with this, and cold sweat rolled down his face again.  He gritted his teeth and said, "My lord,Several eminent monks came and wanted to fight with the national master.  Let¡¯s see which one is better and which one is worse in Buddhism!  " Whether it's a mule or a horse, let's take it out for a walk. In the end, the argument about anything is just to see who is stronger! Zhao Ji glanced at Wen Fei in embarrassment and said: "Father Shang, look" Wen  Fei was furious. He was originally eager to go home and observe the changes in the jade pendant, not wanting to cause more trouble, but now he was angered by the successive provocations and sneered: "I have long wanted to see what those monks can do.  It's up to you.  But these bald thieves are not worthy of me to take action, so let the senior brothers in my house take action!  " After Zhao Ji heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "That's a good statement.  What kind of status does Shangfu have? How could he get involved with these monks?  That¡¯s it!  Wen Fei smiled and said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's choose today to fight!"  " Zhang Shangying said that there is no way out now, he can only grit his teeth and persist, although he knows that Zhao Ji is already very angry at this time. As long as they lose, there will never be a good ending. Even if they win, it will not necessarily be easy, but  At this time, he can only hold on. Wen Fei has labeled Buddhism as a disaster for the country and the people. If he cannot be cleansed, he will be unlucky, and the entire Buddhist sect will be unlucky. Wen Fei does not care about the entire hall.  The atmosphere was dull, and people were busy filling their stomachs. Although the dishes prepared by the royal chef in the palace were beautiful, they tasted very ordinary, just like many big hotels in later generations. It is no wonder that the emperor of the Song Dynasty sent people out of the palace to buy snacks.  .(To be continued)
