The thirteenth round: The Liangyi Hall was ordered to send an envoy to the Lizheng Hall (I)
With the solution of the doubts in their hearts, everyone was happy in their hearts, after all, this worship of the Buddha is the prosperity of the country, so they all uphold a pious heart, sincerely respect the Buddha. When everyone understood that this was a shadow bone relic, they could still carry forward the Dharma, but they all wanted to know where this true body relic was......
After these three months of observation in the Great Ci'en Temple, the people in Chang'an City, in accordance with the order planned by the Chang'an Order, take the workshop as a unit, whether they believe in Buddhism or not, they have also observed this Buddhist treasure. Of course, in the process of viewing, you see everything. Some people say they saw the Buddha's light, some say they feel good thoughts, some say they feel an indescribable faith, and some say they see things they shouldn't see......
In fact, no matter what you see, this is just a psychological effect, after all: the world has no appearance, the phase is born from the heart, the visible things are really non-things, and the things that can be felt are really non-things. Everything is empty, it is really a miasma, the heart is a miasma, the heart of the laity, there is a prison everywhere, only the world is incarnated, it can be selfless. I am the world, and the world is me.
After three months of enshrinement, because this Famen Temple is too old, on the one hand, in accordance with the will of this Gaozong, diligent repairs, on the other hand, according to the pre-planned things, the Buddha shadow bone relics into the Buddha Light Temple in the Daxing Palace for temporary worship, for the palace concubines to see. In the face of such a honor, in order to thank His Majesty and the Empress for their courtesy to the Buddha, Master Xuanzang was unequivocal in this matter of promoting Buddhism, and at the same time let the seven eminent monks and great virtues in this Buddha Light Temple, worship the Buddha and recite the scriptures, in order to educate people's hearts.
Before I knew it, a month had passed like this. At this time, Empress Wu had become a devout Buddhist, so these days are basically every day, and she will always go to this Foguang Temple to have a look. I can't help but have the same idea as everyone else, where is this true body relic in the five Indias? Now that this shadow bone relic has been enshrined, shouldn't it be more time to enshrine this true body relic?
So, he came to the two ceremonial halls and told all this idea to Gaozong Li Zhi, who was in charge of the government. After all these years and these days, this Li Zhi is naturally quite influenced by Buddhism. Therefore, when Mei Niang said to worship this Buddha's finger bone relic, she also readily agreed.
But seeing this Gaozong Li Zhi, after thinking about it, he said such words: "Mei Niang, last time I heard Master Xuanzang and others say that this Buddha relics are still in the palace of the Holisha Kingdom, why don't we let Wang Xuance send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to pay respects instead of us, do you think it's good?" ”
Actually, this Martial Empress has long had this idea. Since ancient times, no one's ambition has been achieved overnight, and all ambitions have been taken step by step. Since this Wu Meiniang entered the palace, she has come to the position of the queen step by step, in addition to the fact that Li Zhi can give her a certain amount of emotional sustenance. She had already pinned all her thoughts and remaining emotions on this Buddha. Because only here can she get the most sincere psychological comfort. Just like a person, when he doesn't know what to do, he can only trust what he asks for to the gods; And Wu Meiniang at this time is exactly like this!
These days, after watching this shadow bone relic, she has made her mood much better and her mind much more broadened through various psychological hints. Therefore, when Li Zhi put forward this idea that he did not dare to imagine, he naturally felt that this was another opportunity to sincerely worship the Buddha and show his piety. So I readily agreed.
"Since Your Majesty has this kind of thought, why don't you invite Wang Changshi and Master Xuanzang to come to this palace and discuss this detailed issue again?" Empress Wu then said what she thought in her heart.
"It's so good" but looking at this, Li Zhi replied to this Mei Niang while reviewing the song. Immediately, he put down the music and said to the little yellow door beside him: "Go to the Great Ci'en Temple quickly, pass on Master Xuanzang and Wang Xuance, and say that there are important Buddhist activities to discuss, and you must invite Master Xuanzang to come over." ”
"Only" This little yellow door received the will, and went out on an errand respectfully.
On this day, it was another sunny day; The climate is neither cold nor hot, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the trees are shady. At this time, Master Xuanzang and Wang Xuance, because they were not busy in those days, seemed a lot more relaxed. These two people, at this time, were in this Great Mercy Temple, under the old crooked neck jujube tree in the Zen courtyard, put on the chess set, and were preparing to fight a game.
As soon as it was set up, I saw His Majesty's personal attendant push open the thick door of this Zen temple. Wang Xuance looked at the little yellow door that hurriedly walked in, and while raising his head to Master Xuanzang to make a reminder, he smiled slightly: "It's over, this chess is estimated to be unsuccessful." ”
Master Xuanzang turned his head to look at it, and also smiled back: "It seems that this is indeed the case." ”
"Oh, it's just right, you two are here, come with me, Your Majesty and Niangniang are waiting to summon you," the little yellow door walked up to them, and then spoke.
"The old monk has never asked about political affairs for many years, and I hope that you will be more considerate," Master Xuanzang said in defense with his hands folded.
"Your Majesty had expected Master Xuanzang to say this, but this time we are not talking about political affairs, so Your Majesty specially explained, and I must also ask Master Xuanzang to go, there is a Buddhist matter to discuss." Xiao Huangmen, so he said such words with a smile on his face.
"That being the case, let's take a trip Wang Changshi" Master Xuanzang could only helplessly throw down the white jade chess piece he was holding in his hand, and got up with Wang Xuance.
"I don't know what kind of Buddha thing it is." Wang Xuance inadvertently asked this little yellow door.
"Just now, the old slave was in this hall, and I heard His Majesty say that he was going to let Wang Changshi go to these five Tianzhu again to worship the Buddha on his behalf."
Hearing this, Master Xuanzang and Wang Xuance were both slightly stunned? Here's what's going on. Although he had deep doubts in his heart, he still followed this little yellow door into this Daxing Palace.
Since this Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang believed in the Buddha, they have always been courteous to Master Xuanzang, and they basically came according to his wishes. No, I saw that after these two people arrived at the two ceremonial halls, they performed etiquette, and they still received the treatment of this throne.
At this time, Li Zhi was still reviewing the music behind his Huanghuali imperial case, and this Wu Meiniang was still sitting peacefully on the soft collapse next to this imperial case. And this Master Xuanzang and Wang Xuance, as courtiers, are sitting on opposite sides and upright.
"This time, I and the Empress are looking for the two of you to come here, because there is a matter of urgency to discuss with you" Li Zhi, after putting down the wolf pen in his hand, he said to the two of them.
"Your Majesty, please," the two of them replied in unison.
What happens next? Please see the next ......
