Chapter 969: Recommending the Buddha

However, although this matter has been resolved, Li Shimin is still a little worried about this matter, and he has a question, that is, after a person dies, why is there a haunted soul? Shouldn't these unjust souls have somewhere else to go?

Regarding this issue, Li Shimin consulted Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng didn't seem to understand it very well, and he couldn't explain it clearly, but he quickly thought of Wang Chongyang, and immediately said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, maybe this great immortal can solve your problem!" ”

Li Shimin immediately said, "Hurry up and invite Daxian!" ”

Wei Zheng immediately went to Yuan Shoucheng's mansion, at this time Yuan Shoucheng was asking Wang Chongyang what idea he had for Wei Zheng, and Wang Chongyang was about to go to Hongfu Temple to see Tang Sanzang's lectures, and he didn't want Wei Zheng to come.

As soon as Yuan Shoucheng saw Wei Zheng coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Lord Wei, I don't know if Your Majesty's worries have been solved!" ”

Wei Zheng nodded, and then bowed his hand to Wang Chongyang and said, "Daxian, although the matter has been resolved, Your Majesty still has some questions, and you really can't answer them below, so please also ask Daxian to move and answer them to Your Majesty in person!" ”

Wang Chongyang nodded, after all, this Li Shimin is also a famous emperor in Chinese history, the so-called Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestor, Li Shimin is impressively listed, Wang Chongyang also wants to see him in his heart.

Yuan Shoucheng was also invited to the palace by Wei Zheng because of Wang Chongyang's relationship, as a commoner, Yuan Shoucheng was naturally excited, although he lived at the foot of this imperial city, but after all, he had never seen the emperor, and now it was green smoke on the ancestral tomb.

When you arrive in the imperial city, although it is personally invited by His Majesty the Emperor, you have to go through some formal procedures, you have to have someone to report it first, and then wait for the emperor's dictation in the living room.

Although this is the case, after all, it is the person the emperor wants to meet, and soon Li Shimin's message came, inviting Wang Chongyang, Yuan Shoucheng and Wei Zheng to go in and face the saint.

As soon as Li Shimin saw Wang Chongyang coming, he personally got up to greet him, but Li Shimin regarded Yuan Shoucheng as Wang Chongyang, after all, Wang Chongyang looked younger on the surface, and Yuan Shoucheng's age looked more like the great immortal in Wei Zheng's mouth.

Yuan Shoucheng saw Li Shimin calling himself a great immortal, his face immediately moved, and he hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shoucheng, the grass people, is not the great immortal in Your Majesty's mouth!" ”

As soon as Li Shimin heard this, his face suddenly moved, although he was the Ninth Five-Year Honor, known as the son of heaven, he actually made the low-level mistake of judging people by their appearance.

Thinking about it, Li Shimin immediately apologized to Wang Chongyang and said, "Daxian is not strange, I can't recognize Daxian's true face, please forgive Daxian!" ”

Wang Chongyang has been looking at this promising monarch in Chinese history, but he saw that he looked only in his early thirties, and he looked extraordinarily mighty, but there was a hint of humility in his expression.

In the research of later generations, there is a study specifically for the character of Li Shimin and Emperor Yang of Sui, why is it the same usurpation, but Emperor Yang of Sui is the end like that, and Li Shimin He can achieve the great cause of the emperor.

Many scholars believe that it is because of the previous failure of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty Li Guang that Li Shimin is like this, and after all, he is not on the right throne, and he always thinks that he has to do something to prove that he is the best candidate for the emperor, so he forced himself to force his character and forced himself to become a humble emperor.

Wang Chongyang smiled faintly at Li Shimin at this time, "It's nothing, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and it's nothing to admit one or two people wrong!" ”

Li Shimin still said to Wang Chongyang with some self-reproach, "I really shouldn't make this mistake of judging people by their appearance, it's my mistake, I should apologize!" ”

After a few words of greeting, Li Shimin invited Wang Chongyang to take a seat, and asked the servants to prepare good tea and snacks, and said to Wang Chongyang and Yuan Shoucheng, "You don't have to be restrained, I am looking for two of you, and it is not a meeting between monarchs and ministers, I regard myself as a disciple and want to ask the two teachers for some questions." ”

Yuan Shoucheng hurriedly got up and arched his hand, "The grass people don't dare, besides, the grass people's knowledge is far less than the fur of the tuas, if Your Majesty has any questions, just ask the dashi, the grass people can have the opportunity to listen to it, and they have already held His Majesty's favor and the blessing of the dasch!" ”

Wang Chongyang nodded and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty must not be overly modest, if you have any questions, just ask, I must know everything!" ”

Li Shimin laughed, picked up the tea, and after inviting Wang Chongyang and Yuan Shoucheng to take a sip, he said to Wang Chongyang, "I was haunted by the unjust spirit of the Dragon King of Jinghe a few days ago, thanks to the help of the Great Immortal, I have been able to settle down in the past two days, and I haven't had time to thank the Great Immortal!" ”

Wang Chongyang nodded with a smile, but said lightly, "It's a trivial matter, Your Majesty doesn't have to mind!" ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "There's just one thing, I don't know very well!" As he spoke, he looked at Wang Chongyang and said, "I heard that this person is the reincarnation of a ghost, so why didn't the ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King go to reincarnate and come to me to ask for his life?" ”

Wang Chongyang said to Li Shimin, "That's because the Dragon King of Jinghe thinks that he has died unjustly, and his unjust soul will not be collected in hell, because they still have anger in their bodies, and they must be resolved before they can enter reincarnation!" ”

Li Shimin immediately asked, "Then how should we resolve the anger on them?" ”

Wang Chongyang couldn't help but ask Li Shimin, "Your Majesty's problem has been solved, why bother with this?" ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and then glanced at Yuan Shoucheng and Wei Zheng who was present, and then sighed, "Wei Aiqing was also the person of the Hidden Prince at the beginning, so I might as well say it directly, the original Huangquan competition between my brothers has become a foregone conclusion, and I don't want to mention it anymore, but after all, my eldest brother and third brother died in my hands, and a Jinghe Dragon King who was not harmed by my own hands hates me so much, just think about the Hidden Prince and the King of Qi who died in my hands, although they have been dead for many years, but what about his soul?" Have you fallen into samsara and become human again? Or is it the same as the previous Jinghe Dragon King, floating in the wilderness? ”

Wang Chongyang heard Li Shimin say this, and did not speak for a while.

Yuan Shoucheng is a grass citizen after all, although he has the ability to predict the future, but he naturally does not dare to say much about these royal affairs.

It was Wei Zheng who got up and said to Li Shimin at this time, "Your Majesty, the past cannot be mentioned anymore, Your Majesty's current achievements are enough to prove that Your Majesty is the choice of history!" This is enough to comfort the former emperor and the hidden prince! ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Anyway, this family matter of mine is not so glorious after all, and it is not only Prince Yin and King Qi, what about their subordinates, and their family members who have been affected?" What about the people who died unjustly in the Tiance Mansion at that time? To say a little further, it is those guards of the former Sui, from a personal standpoint, they are very resentful, plus the innocent people who have died in the successive battles since the Sui Dynasty, there are even more countless! In this way, how many unjust souls will wander between heaven and earth, and since I have decided to create an unprecedented feat, how can I bear to see these unjust souls not die? ”

Wei Zheng originally heard Li Shimin talk about Prince Yin and King Qi, and he was still thinking in his heart, in addition to being killed by the soul of the Dragon King of Jinghe, Li Shimin also had Prince Yin and King Qi.

Now when he heard Li Shimin say this, he was immediately ashamed, and immediately knelt down in front of Li Shimin, kowtowed, and said, "The criminal minister is stupid, I don't want Your Majesty to have the world in mind, but also worry about those unjust souls, and the criminal minister is still guessing wildly!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand, got up and walked in front of Wei Zheng, and helped him up, "Aiqing doesn't have to blame himself, just talk about things, I also have the merits and demerits of the year, and now I am the honor of the Ninth Five, and the world belongs to me, but after all, I am also a human being, and I don't want to be like this!" ”

When Wang Chongyang heard this, he stood up and said to Li Shimin, "I heard that the Tang Li family claims to be the descendant of the Taoist ancestor Li Er, since this is the case, why not invite the Taoist priest of the Taoist family to set up an altar and seek a liberation for these undead?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Taoists pay attention to selflessness, inaction, what they pay attention to is their own cultivation, even if they set up an altar, they also want to catch those unjust ghosts and undead, not to liberate them, and what I want to find is a way to permanently let them detach, which Taoists can't do!" That's why I want to ask Daxian if there is any other way!"

As soon as Wang Chongyang heard this, he immediately understood what Li Shimin meant, Li Shimin has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a child, and there are countless unjust souls in his hands, whether he is sincere in wanting to help these unjust souls be freed, or for what political purposes, he wants to solve this matter once and for all.

Thinking of this, Wang Chongyang couldn't help but say to Li Shimin, "Why doesn't Your Majesty try Buddhism?" ”

Li Shimin's brows moved when he heard this, "Buddhism? ”

Wang Chongyang nodded and said, "Buddha and Tao have similarities, there are also differences, Buddhism pays attention to purifying sentient beings, in their eyes, there is no difference between people and ghosts, Your Majesty might as well invite a few monks to come, for these years whether they died in battle, or unjustly died of the undead to do a super, presumably it will be able to achieve the results that Your Majesty wants!" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately hesitated, but Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin at this time, "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that a senior monk has recently come to Luoyang Pure Land Temple, and now he is giving a lecture at Hongfu Temple in the west of Chang'an City. ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, then turned around and asked Wang Chongyang, "How is this Sanzang Master?" ”

Wang Chongyang also nodded and said, "This should be the best candidate!" ”

Li Shimin immediately issued an order to Wei Zheng, "Immediately go and invite Master Sanzang to come and set up an altar!" ”

After Wei Zheng received the order, Li Shimin immediately said to Wang Chongyang, "Daxian solves my confusion, I don't know who Daxian's surname is at this time, how can he set up an altar for Daxian to open a temple in the future?" ”

Wang Chongyang's heart moved at this time, opening a temple and setting up an altar for himself? Wouldn't he have become an immortal who wants to receive incense, and in the future immortal lineage, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, or any other sect, there seems to be no trace of his own altar.
