When they returned to the tavern, the two of them sat across from each other and ordered a table of food and wine.
Li Shi Min smiled and raised his wine cup." Come, Brother Qin, congratulations on your title on the Golden Roll and your high ranking!”
"Thank you, Brother Li!" Qin Chuan raised his cup in welcome.
Li Shi Min put down his cup and smiled.
"Brother Qin, today you are a high school scholar. You will definitely spread your wings like a great roc. In the future, you will definitely rise to the clouds and have a prosperous official career. In the future, if you become rich and noble, don't forget this poor brother of mine.”
"Brother Li must be joking. How can I, Qin Chuan, be the kind of person who forgets about wealth and honor?”
Qin Chuan smiled as he picked up the wine jug and poured some wine.
"Moreover, even if I am a high school scholar today, it is still too early to enter the court as an official. The Ministry of Personnel still has a selection system.”
The imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were not like the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was already a matter of iron certainty for a son to become an official after passing the imperial examinations.
However, the level of the official position would depend on how the court examinations went.
However, the Tang Dynasty was different. In the Tang Dynasty, after passing the imperial examination, one could not become an official and was only a candidate.
Only by passing the Ministry of Personnel's selection test would one be granted an official position and truly enter the court as an official.
"With Brother Qin's talent as the top scorer in high school, what's so difficult about passing the Ministry of Personnel's selection system? It's only a matter of time before he enters the court as an official.”
Li Shi Min believed that with Qin Chuan's talent, there was no doubt that he would pass the Ministry of Personnel's selection process.
"If that's the case, then I'll have to thank Brother Li for your good words.”
Qin Chuan smiled and toasted.
He was also very confident that he could pass the Ministry of Personnel Selection.
According to the Tang system, the chief examiner of the Ministry of Personnel was the Minister of Personnel.
Since Du Ruhui was able to make him the top scholar in the imperial examination, it was obvious that his impression of him was not bad.
As long as he performed as usual, passing the selection system shouldn't be a problem.
After eating a mouthful of food, Qin Chuan said," Oh right, Brother Li. It's better for you to stay at home for the next few days. Don't come into contact with those monks of the Buddhist Sect."”
"Oh? Brother Qin, what is the meaning of this?"
Li Shi Min frowned and pretended to be confused.
Qin Chuan replied," Brother Li, you might not know this. In the Imperial Examination, I wrote about the destruction of Buddha in the policy of the rich country. Now that I'm the top scorer in high school, the imperial court will probably accept my suggestion."”
For Du Ruhui to rank him first, he was obviously very satisfied with his strategy.
As the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court and Li Shimin's trusted aide, it was impossible for Du Ruhui not to know how much benefit the destruction of Buddha would bring to the Imperial Court.
Fang Xuanling was scheming, and Du Ruhui was scheming. If he approved of his plan to destroy Buddha, he would definitely report it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin continued to play dumb." Destroy Buddha? Why did the imperial court want to destroy Buddhism? What did the destruction of Buddha have to do with the prosperity of the country?”
"Brother Li, this Buddha Annihilation has a lot to do with Fu Guo! Do you know how much benefit the Imperial Court will get from destroying Buddha?"
Qin Chuan smiled and told Li Shimin the benefits of Buddha Annihilation.
"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he granted amnesty to the world and exempted all the taxes in the country. In the past two years, natural disasters have occurred in many places. Not only have many places suffered poor harvests, but the imperial court has also allocated a large amount of money and grain for disaster relief.”
"In April of this year, the Imperial Court even sent troops to attack Liang Shidu. This was another huge expenditure.”
"In September this year, the palace released more than three thousand palace maids. If the national treasury was not empty, His Majesty would not have reduced the expenses of the palace as well!”
"Have you forgotten what happened at the bank of Weishui River two years ago?”
"His Majesty has held a grudge against the Eastern Turks for a very long time, and he has been feeding his soldiers and horses for many years. If not for the fact that our treasury was empty, our Great Tang would have attacked the Eastern Turks long ago!”
After saying these reasons, Qin Chuan smiled confidently and asked,"If you were His Majesty, wouldn't you be tempted to see such a treasure like the Buddhist Sect in front of you?”
"Of course I'm tempted!"
Li Shi Min nodded.
Not only was he tempted, he even had the heart to dig three feet into the ground!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have summoned the three provinces and six ministries to discuss the destruction of Buddha!
Qin Chuan continued," Besides, those bald donkeys of the Buddhist League look like Amitabha Buddha on the surface, saving all living beings. In reality, what they do are inhuman things!”
"Those bald donkeys don't do anything for production. They spend all their money on the pilgrims and don't pay taxes. They don't benefit the country at all. They worship Buddha all year round and don't serve their parents.”
"Indeed disloyal and unfilial!"
Li Shi Min agreed.
Qin Chuan's voice rose." Being disloyal and unfilial is still a light crime! Those bald donkeys are still harboring evil intentions and are trying to subvert the thousands of years of inheritance of China!”
"Hiss, subvert my Huaxia legacy? It can't be to this extent, right?"
Li Shi Min let out a cold breath, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Hehe, how can it not be like this!"
Qin Chuan laughed coldly, his eyes filled with hatred as he roared out in rage.
"Do you know what a family's inheritance relies on? It relied on the prosperity of the population, the passing of fire, and the passing of blood!”
"But those bald donkeys keep saying that they don't want to get close to women, don't want to get married, and don't want to be polite. Do you know how much damage they will cause to China?”
"If Buddhism thrives and more and more people become monks and nuns, how will the population of China increase in the long run?”
"Without a population, where would the labor force come from? Who would farm the fields? Who would collect the taxes? How would the Imperial Court operate?”
"Without a population, where would we find the source of soldiers? Without soldiers, when the Rong Di invade, who will protect the country?”
"Without a population, without the death of a father and the succession of a son, who will inherit the thousands of years of Chinese culture?”
"Tell me, if those bald donkeys don't harbor evil intentions and want to overthrow the rule of China, what do they mean?”
"Bah! Just those bald donkeys are not worthy of subverting the rule of China! Those bald donkeys deserved to die! He should be cut into pieces and apologize to the people of China!”
Li Shi Min slammed his palm on the desk angrily, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Previously, he had only destroyed the Buddha for the sake of benefits!
Now, he really hated the Buddhist Sect to the core!
He really wanted to destroy the entire Buddhist Sect!
The great rule of China did not perish because of the eunuchs, the Rong Di, or the civil strife. How could it perish in the hands of these bald donkeys?
Fortunately, he accepted advice and destroyed Buddha!
If he didn't destroy Buddha, the entire Huaxia would fall in the hands of these bald donkeys. Then, wouldn't Li Shimin become a sinner of Huaxia and be cursed by people for thousands of years?
Thinking about it, Li Shiming couldn't help but have a better impression of Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan was standing on the side of China's righteousness when he proposed the idea of eliminating Buddha!
Worrying about the country and the people, and having a broad structure, this was the mission and responsibility of a true Chinese man!
