"Report…"
Although the original inquiry was just a procedure, if someone really wanted to report it, it was reasonable to find no fault. In comparison, this was more like an unspoken rule.
But today, Su Li had broken this unspoken rule.
Su Li took a step forward, his back straight.
"This subject reports that not only did Huichang Temple not help the government stabilize the people's hearts, but they also took the opportunity to wantonly collect wealth. This subject investigated and found that Huichang Temple has countless fields under its name, and the surrounding villagers have become its tenant farmers. They worked every day, but there was no surplus food.
There are even monks who don't abide by the rules and abduct women…"
Filled with righteousness, Su Li began his performance and his narration of the crimes of Huichang Temple.
In fact, there were good monks. Other than some extreme special groups, no social group had good people.
The reason why Su Li wanted to fight to the death with Buddhism was partly because he did not like the religion of the ignorant people, and partly because the existence of Buddhism had indeed affected the cultural development of the various countries to a certain extent.
Moreover, the status of local Daoism was already in jeopardy, and Buddhism was about to dominate.
"Therefore, this subject dares to submit a memorial to cancel all the special rights of the sect. Moreover, any gatherings and activities of more than a hundred people must be reported to the government. Only then can we put an end to this matter!"
In the beginning, the officials of the Imperial Court had only been listening. When Su Li finished speaking, the entire Imperial Court was silent.
Whether it was Buddhism or Taoism, they all had special rights, such as tax exemption, exemption from military service, and so on…
But in Su Li's view, this was a very unreasonable rule.
Daoism was still alright. Daoists generally advocated pure cultivation. Moreover, most of the enlightenment books of Daoism were Daoist classics. The entry threshold for Daoists was relatively high, and their individual quality was relatively high.
However, Buddhism emphasized putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, which also led to the internal staff being scattered. It was very easy for the local people to be bullied maliciously.
Huichang Temple was a good example.
Of course, there were naturally scums among the Daoists, and Su Li naturally treated them equally.
The privilege he proposed to abolish was not just for Buddhism, but for all sects.
The veins on Li Er's forehead were about to pop out.
He had also not expected that Su Li would actually be so outrageous, writing a petition to cancel the privileges of all the sects under such circumstances.
What did this mean? This meant that Su Li was going to stand on the opposite side of Buddhism and Taoism.
No one was willing to give up the benefits they had. There were countless Buddhist disciples in total, and the power behind them was unknown.
And now that Su Li had said it out loud, it would probably take less than a day for everyone in Chang 'an to know about it.
As for Su Li, he would also be in imminent danger.
No organization was willing to tolerate the existence of a threat to their interests.
The Sui Dynasty held the imperial examinations in an attempt to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families. What was the result?
Yang Guang knelt on the spot, and the Sui Dynasty had changed dynasties not long after it was established.
The lessons of the past are the lessons of the future!
Su Li wanted to touch the interests of the entire Great Tang religion. As long as Li Er nodded in agreement, then what awaited Su Li the next day would be endless danger.
Li Er stared at Su Li's face, wanting to see something else.
However, it was very strange that this slightly crafty kid actually appeared to be righteous today.
Li Er finally shook his head.
"We'll discuss this another day!"
Li Er said with a slight frown.
In front of so many people in the Imperial Court, he could not agree to Su Li's proposal no matter what.
Otherwise, he would be throwing Su Li into the fire.
"I will handle the case of Huichang Temple.”
Li Er looked at Su Li's face and said,"You're not an official yet, so this is not something you should care about.”
When Li Er said this, Su Li also understood Li Er's meaning.
Punish two of them and warn them not to mention the idea of abolishing religious privileges in the future.
But to Su Li, this was far from enough. He had also seen the crimes of Huichang Temple. Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, if the Supreme Court really wanted to investigate Huichang Temple, it would be impossible to hide it.
Even just through the words, Su Li felt that these crimes were incomparably bloody.
On the third day of the fifth month of the first year of Zhenguan, the Zhang family of three in the parasol tree was forced to death.
In June of the first year of Zhenguan, in order to seize Lin Zheng's land in Lingou Village, he poisoned his entire family.
In the second year of Zhenguan, he cheated all the fields in Wutong by helping the people in Wutong to be tax-free. The people in Wutong became tenant farmers of Huichang Temple. If they were negligent, they would be beaten and scolded.
The monks of Huichang Temple not only knew how to chant scriptures, but they could also kill people.
The Buddha worshiped by Huichang Temple did not eat incense, but a man-eating Buddha!
