This Li Jun was indeed a good person!
Not only did he not have the superficial arrogance of an aristocratic family's disciple, but he was also kind and did not care about trifles. He was also open-minded and had the responsibility of an aristocratic family's disciple for the sake of the country!
Seeing Li Shi Min's righteous indignation and hatred, Qin Chuan also agreed with him.
He continued,"The Book of History, The Great Yu Mo says: Rather than killing innocent people, it is better to lose innocent people. The virtue of loving life is very popular among the people.”
"The Emperor has the virtue of cherishing life. Why would the Imperial Court slaughter so many people? Killing them would be letting them off too easily.”
"Our dynasty has a lot of things to do. Instead of killing them, why don't we exile those bald donkeys to Jiangnan, Jiannan, and Lingnan to open up wasteland?”
"If they don't like to save all living beings, then let them save the miasma in the south for the sake of the people of the world!”
As he spoke, Qin Chuan's eyes turned cold, and the corners of his lips curled up.
Compared to later generations, the south of the Tang Dynasty was far from prosperous. Some places were even barren.
The south lacked development, and there were many primeval forests and swamps. It was easy to form miasma, and there were many poisonous insects. The humidity in the south was also heavy, and the northerners were easily acclimatized and caused diseases due to dampness.
A single mistake could cost a life.
In order to develop the south, the imperial court and the people had paid a huge price.
In any case, they had to destroy those forests and swamps, open up mountains, open up forests, and open up lakes. They had to use people to fill in the gaps.
Instead of letting the commoners suffer, it was better to use these bald donkeys to fill the gaps.
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Well said! He had to let those bald donkeys go to the south to experience the sufferings of the human world!”
He had not thought about how to settle those bald donkeys after the Buddha was destroyed. He was thinking about whether he should disperse them on the spot and return to his hometown.
Now it seemed that disbanding them on the spot was too easy for them. Exiling them to guard the border and developing the south was the best place for these bald donkeys.
Qin Chuan happily nodded his head and continued,
"That's why those bald donkeys have committed heinous crimes. His Majesty will definitely wipe out the Buddhist League. The first to bear the brunt is Chang 'an City under the feet of the Son of Heaven!”
"Old Li, I'm telling you this because I treat you as a true friend!" Qin Chuan reminded him again. Don't make a mistake!"
"Don't have any contact with those bald donkeys. At that time, don't have any compassion. At that time, not only will it harm yourself, but it will also harm your family!”
In ancient times, it was important to have a good reason, and the imperial court must have a good reason to do things.
Especially when it was such an important matter like the destruction of the Buddhist Sect!
If they wanted to destroy the Buddhist Sect and convince the world, the imperial court would definitely punish them severely.
It could even be very serious, so serious that it would be the kind that would destroy an entire family!
As for a scion of a great clan like Li Jun, let alone the Imperial Court, he didn't even have much respect for the Li Imperial Family or the current Emperor.
Otherwise, Li Shiming wouldn't have casually mentioned his dark history to tease him.
Qin Chuan was afraid that Li Junyi would lose his life because of his hot-headedness.
It wasn't like there hadn't been cases of monks scamming people in history.
In the upcoming third year of Zhenguan, the demon monk Faya spread evil words. Li Shimin easily killed Faya and also overthrew the prime minister, Sikong Pei Ji.
Li Shi Min, as the leader of a generation, was decisive and decisive. This could be seen from the incident at Black Tortoise Sect.
If Li Jun really had something to do with the Buddhist Sect, Qin Chuan had no doubt that he would be dealt with by the Imperial Court.
"Brother, don't worry. I, Old Li, can still distinguish between right and wrong. When the time comes, I will definitely strictly guard the family and definitely not have anything to do with the Buddhist Sect!”
Li Shi Min was full of confidence and raised his wine glass emotionally." I'm here. Thank you for your advice!"”
At this moment, his heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.
There was no conflict of interests, no hierarchy of the imperial power. This was what he had received. True concern and friendliness.
Qin Chuan frankly raised his cup and clinked it with hers." It's nothing. You don't have to care about your own brother.”
"But there's still one thing I don't understand. I hope Brother Qin can help me with that." Li Shi Min put down his wine cup and said.”
"That's easy to say. Brother Li, if you have any doubts, just say it.”
Qin Chuan picked up a mouthful of food and added.
"In the current Great Tang, apart from the prosperity of Buddhism, Daoism is also flourishing. Why does Brother Qin only advocate the destruction of Buddhism and not Daoism?”
Li Shi Min asked.
This was the doubt that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.
When he heard about the wealth accumulated by the Buddhist Sect, he subconsciously thought of the Dao Sect, which was as prosperous as the Buddhist Sect.
If they were to be destroyed along with the Taoist Faction, wouldn't that be double the joy?
However, Qin Chuan's policy theory only advocated the destruction of Buddhism and did not mention anything about the destruction of Daoism.
"How can this Dao Sect be destroyed!"
Qin Chuan put down his chopsticks and firmly denied.
"As the saying goes,'Those who are not of our race will have different intents'. This Buddhist Sect is an external sect, but the Dao Sect is different.”
"Dao Sect is a local sect of China, and it shares the same culture as China.”
"Secondly, the Dao Sect is different from the Buddhist Sect. The Buddhist Sect is devoid of humanity and does not get close to women.”
"Thirdly, ever since the Retired Emperor ascended the throne, he has worshipped the Taoist Ancestor as his ancestor. This Taoist Sect and the royal family are one family. If the imperial court destroys the Taoist Sect, wouldn't it be deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestor?”
"If you want to destroy the Dao Sect, you won't be able to get past His Majesty.”
" Fourthly, there are many talented people in Haotian Taoism, and they are of great help to the governance of China. Fan Li, Zhang Liang, and Zhuge Liang have all learned Taoism. Wang Xizhi, Zu Chongzhi, and Tao Hongjing have all learned Taoism."
"Let's not talk about the distant ones. Just the contributions of Yuan Tiangang, Sun Simiao, and Li Chunfeng to our country are incomparable to those of the Buddhist Sect!”
"Why should I suggest that the Imperial Court be destroyed for such a sect that is beneficial to the country? Compared to the Dao Sect, what was the meaning of the existence of the Buddhist Sect?”
"What Brother Qin said is reasonable. This Dao Sect is indeed beneficial to the country and cannot be destroyed!”
Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Li Shi Min nodded his head and smiled. He heaved a sigh of relief.
"Brother Qin is knowledgeable and talented. This brother admires you. This brother will toast you again!”
Qin Chuan's words made him give up on the idea of destroying the Dao Sect.
Fortunately, he hadn't made a move yet. Otherwise, if he had made a move on the Taoist Faction, he, Li Shiming, would have really made a mistake and become a sinner who had deceived his master and killed his ancestors!
At that time, his reputation as unfilial would really be confirmed!
