In the Qianyuan Palace, the round measurement saw the two saints, worshiped with the Buddha ceremony, and blessed the saints.

When the emperor saw that Yuanzhi had red lips and white teeth, and was born with a good demeanor, he immediately had a good impression and asked, "Are you a senior disciple of Master Sanzang?" It's been eight years since I was separated from Master Sanzang, and I wonder where he is now. ”

"Amitabha." A trace of grief flashed in Yuanxue's eyes, and he said slowly: "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, the teacher has passed away." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar!

If we talk about the most influential person in Buddhism today, it is none other than Master Sanzang. The world does not know the five ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Hongren, and the Shenxiu Master who is regarded as the successor of the five ancestors, but Xuanzang's name, even if it is, everyone knows it, and no one knows it.

It is also strange to say that the Tang Dynasty established the country with Taoism and was the first dynasty to explicitly put Taoism above Buddhism. Even Gaozu clearly put forward the declaration that the Buddha is small, and that the old will be released first. But today's status quo is that the Taoist gate is not obvious, and the Buddhist gate is prosperous.

The reason for this is only because of one person - Xuanzang!

After returning from Xuanzang's westward journey, the former emperor Taizong summoned Xuanzang into the palace for a long talk all night, and established a large-scale national translation field in the Hongfu Temple where Xuanzang lived. Gather all the monks and ministers from all over the world to translate Buddhist scriptures.

At that time, the Taoist sect was booming, in order to popularize Buddhism and cater to the public, Xuanzang even had to use more Taoist terminology when translating the scriptures to keep pace with the times.

Since then, the former emperor Taizong's belief in Buddhism has become deeper and deeper, although he did not explicitly cancel the edict of "first the way and then the Buddha" in his later years, but in fact he resumed the policy of promoting Buddhism, and became more and more protective of Buddhism.

Even before Taizong died, he still talked about Buddhism with Xuanzang, asking about karma and the relics of the ancestors of the Western Regions. When we meet on the night, we can't sigh for the Buddha.

When the current emperor was serving the sick Taizong, he witnessed his father's reverence for Master Xuanzang. When he ascended the throne, he treated Master Xuanzang with the same courtesy, and officially treated Buddhism and Taoism equally.

You must know that the Li Tang royal family respected the Taoist Laozi Li Er as the ancestor, and even established Taoism as the state religion. But now the two generations of emperors are so kind to Buddhism, but they are becoming more and more indifferent to Taoism, which will naturally make people change their minds and abandon Taoism and respect Buddha.

The controversy over Buddhism and Taoism, which has intensified in recent years, also came about because of this.

It can be said that the current situation of Buddhism is completely created by Xuanzang alone.

It is such a great generation of monks who have passed away quietly, and no one in the world knows about it.

The emperor was stunned for a long time before he sighed: "Master Sanzang has elegant words, chaste and chaste, traveled westward for 17 years, and sought the law to benefit the common people, not only worthy of the ancients, but also farther." What a pain! What a pain! ”

This is a high evaluation of Xuanzang's life.

Yuan Zhi's face was solemn, his hands were folded, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" ”

The emperor waved his hand, but just shook his head, lonely and sad.

The ministers played in unison: "Please mourn Your Majesty." ”

The queen's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked: "Master Yuan, Wei Chi Qingyan, the destruction of my Tang Dynasty's 100,000 water army was caused by the giant beasts of the East China Sea, can there be such a thing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Yuanshi.

Yuan Shi said solemnly: "Back to the queen, that's exactly the case!" ”

The queen asked, "Is there any evidence?" ”

Yuan Xuan shook his head and said: "Although the little monk can't get the certificate, he can capture this giant beast on the East China Sea, and get rid of this harm for His Majesty and the world." ”

The queen's eyes were deep, and she asked again: "But I don't know why this giant beast attacked my Tang Water Army?" ”

After speaking, she looked at the circle with aggressive eyes, and her majesty was fully displayed.

How do you know that Yuanshi just glanced at her in surprise, and said sincerely: "Amitabha, because of the bad luck of the soldiers, it is to summon this disaster." ”

If you study the circle test of the Dharma since childhood, if you talk about justifying the scriptures, there is naturally no one to compare. can talk about insight into people's hearts, observing words and feelings, but they don't know at all, and they don't understand it at all.

The original meaning of his words was to persuade the emperor not to use troops in vain, so as not to create more killings, which is in line with the spirit of compassion in Buddhism.

But he didn't know at all that his words were the last thing the queen wanted to hear at this time!

The queen's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and Yu Chi Zhenjin, who recommended him, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale!

Finished!

This is Yu Chi Zhenjin's only reaction at the moment.

Just now, the old ministers led by the official ceremony even almost succeeded in abolishing the queen, and the situation faced by the queen was once extremely dangerous!

And he, Yu Chi Zhenjin, as the queen's favorite minister, finally invited a helper for the queen, but unexpectedly it was a pig teammate, and he stabbed the queen with a knife!

At such a critical and critical moment, the person he Yu Chi Zhenjin found said such a thing, in the eyes of the queen, this is simply a betrayal!

The ministers originally heard that the queen and the round test should be in harmony, and they were even ready to refute the round test, but they didn't expect the sudden turn of Qifeng, and the round test actually said such a thing, and the ministers were overjoyed!

Queen, this is the day to kill you, you are dead!

"Your Majesty! I think what Master Yuanyu said is very true! Shangguan Yi came out of the queue and said loudly. This is the immorality of the nobles in the court, and the heavens are angry and punished! The queen recklessly mobilized soldiers, but made 100,000 of my athletes die in the deep sea, this crime will never be forgiven! The ministers dare to beg Your Majesty to depose the queen and calm the world! ”

"I beg Your Majesty to depose the Empress and settle the world!" The ministers bowed in unison, and the sound was clear in the Qianyuan Palace!

The queen's body was trembling slightly, her ten fingers were deeply embedded in the flesh, and her face was terrifyingly white!

And Yu Chi Zhenjin was already colorless, crumbling, and seemed to be unable to even stand on his feet, and the hatred for Yuanzhi in his heart was to the extreme!

The emperor's heart, which had been soft, became tough again.

He looked at the queen and said coldly: "Queen, what else do you have to say?" ”

At this time, even if he no longer understands the world, he knows that he seems to have something wrong, and he was silent for a while.

Empress Wu took a deep breath, got up, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the so-called giant beast of the East China Sea is completely a round test and speculation, and it is not enough to believe it!" ”

Shangguan Yi jumped out again and said: "The queen is ridiculous! If you want to confirm the authenticity of this matter, you only need to wait for the Yuanyu Mage to capture the East China Sea Giant Beast and dedicate it to the saint, and everything will be clear! ”

The emperor's face sank like water, and he asked, "Yuanzhi, you may be able to capture this beast of calamity?" ”

Yuanzhi knew that he had offended the queen to death, but now he had to bite the bullet. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, and give the little monk ten days, and he will capture this beast in front of the saint!" ”

"Good!" The emperor got up, his eyes blazing, "If you can capture this beast, I will make you the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was earth-shattering!

"Your Majesty, no!" The queen's eyes lit up instantly, and she took the lead and said loudly, "I, the Tang Dynasty, established the country with Taoism, how can I appoint Buddhist monks as national teachers?" Your Majesty's move, where is my Tang State Religion? ”

The queen's words immediately attracted a reconsideration from the ministers.

Although they were bent on deposing the empress, they didn't want a young Buddhist disciple to become the national teacher of the dynasty.

The queen wants to stop, but the round test can't be a national teacher!

The emperor also regretted it slightly at the moment, out of respect for Master Sanzang and respect for Buddhism, he just impulsively said the words of Feng Yuanzhi as a national teacher.

Although I know that it is very inappropriate now, it is not easy to change my words as soon as Chrysostom Yu's words come out. For a while, he kept his face calm and let the ministers admonish, but he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, the queen's heart settled down a little. She recalled Li Chunfeng's recital yesterday in her mind......

"The queen also knows that the minister is quite familiar with the art of people, Li Rong is from the dragon's life, if it can't be used by His Majesty and the queen, he should be besieged and killed immediately, so as not to cause trouble in the world!"

"Oh? Li Qing, it was you who recommended this person to me that day, but now you want this palace to kill him. Could it be that you saw that this person had caused a catastrophe, and in order to clear himself, he made this statement? ”

"Queen, the heart of the micro-minister, the world can be learned, but this statement is half false, the ministers are thunderous, and there is no corpse!"

“…… Go down. ”

From the Dragon's Life......

Li Chunfeng, Li Chunfeng, if you dare to deceive this palace, hum!

The queen took a deep breath and decided to put the last chance of victory on this unmasked Li Rong Li Daoist!

At this moment, the ministers have been divided into two factions, arguing endlessly. There are those who support Buddhism, and naturally support the emperor to seal Yuanzhi as a national teacher, but more ministers are well aware of the harm of Buddhism being too prosperous and strongly oppose it.

The queen coughed lightly, and the ministers suddenly fell silent.

She raised her head and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, if there really is a giant beast of the East China Sea, then this matter has already involved the supernatural. Daomen is the state religion of my Tang Dynasty, why didn't Your Majesty summon Daomen Fangshi, ask what it is, and confirm it with the round test? ”

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then people stood up one after another to review what the queen said.

Seeing that the topic of the feudal master was skipped, the emperor immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "In this case, among the Daomen, who can share my worries?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng came out of the crowd and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister recommends one person, Li Rong and Li Daochang, and the Taoist name Ren Zhenzi, this person is profound and omniscient, and he will definitely be able to solve problems for His Majesty." ”

The queen said, "Li Rong? I have heard of this person, and he is said to be a leader in the Dao, and his ability is indeed extraordinary. ”

The emperor could not deny it, and said, "In this case, he summoned this man to come to the audience." ”

The ministers looked at each other and talked about it, all saying that they had never heard of Li Rong.

But even the queen in the palace knows this person, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't be so nameless?

Could it be that this person is the real rescuer invited by the queen?

In the vigilance of the ministers, Lu Heng was dressed in a cyan robe and wore a hibiscus crown, and slowly walked into the main hall.

"Li Rong, a country man, meet Your Majesty and the Empress, and congratulate Sheng'an!" Lu Heng's face was solemn, he stood still in front of the hall, clasped his hands together, held them high in front of his forehead, and bowed down deeply.
