Chapter 19 The True God Nether Realm Persuaded Wu Cao Tianjun to reprimand Shangguan on the basis of reason

In the nineteenth time, the true god of the lower realm persuaded Wu Cao Tianjun to reprimand Shangguan on the basis of reason

People talk like needles, complaining about the court officials, how many long and short runs, and the sinister is heavier than Sichuan.

The mouth is really angry, and the soul is finished. Morning and evening, the road is eye-catching, and national affairs cannot be spoken.

Last time, it was said that Li Chengdao was named the true monarch of the Miaofa Guangsheng because of his meritorious service in quelling the chaos, and he was inaugurated by heaven and enjoyed comfort, and a few days have passed in a few days. Days on the sky, years on the earth. When the earth is under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, since Tang Xuanzang learned scriptures in the West, Buddhism has been opened, and Sanskrit sounds can be heard everywhere in the world. The Buddha of the West saw that the people of Middle-earth were abundant and the land of the Heavenly Empire, so he sent disciples to Middle-earth to deliver scriptures and preach the Dharma. But after all, Li Tang is a descendant of Lao Tzu, so he advocates Taoism and belittles Buddhism, known as the order of "Tao in the Buddha first", the people of the Central Plains believe in Lao Zhuang, the Western Buddha since hundreds of years ago to spread the Dharma in the Middle Earth, has not encountered such a cold reception, at this time the Western religion is strong, there are many talents, and Tang Xuanzang came thousands of miles to seek the true scriptures, so he sent many disciples to the Middle Earth to promote the teachings.

Among the people who preached the Dharma, there was a wheel of holy king Bodhisattva, this wheel king Bodhisattva is not a bystander, but a famous Buddhist protector king, was the third generation of the king of the Peacock Dynasty of Tianzhu Kingdom Ashoka, in the early years of warlike killing, personally killed ninety-nine brothers and sisters, unified the land of Tianzhu, and then converted to Buddhism, put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha, in Tianzhu built a total of 84,000 relics pagoda to worship Buddha bones, Buddhism as the state religion, built temples, He compiled Buddhist scriptures and sent monks out to preach, making great contributions to the prosperity of Buddhism. The Bodhisattva of the Wheel King said to the crowd, "We should do great compassion and not small kindness. Everyone was puzzled, and the Wheel Saint King Bodhisattva said: "The so-called 'great compassion' is the person who wants to live one country and one country, and the so-called 'small kindness' is the person who is partial to one family. There is a cloud among the people: "To be able to live a country and a state, unless it is a supreme minister and the respect of the Ninety-Five, it is really difficult." Now Li Tang is in the world, with the support of the Taoist ancestors of the heavenly court, and the respect of the people and all the people, the ministers of the court and the central government are all Xi Laozi and Kong Qiu, how can there be a place for us. We should uphold the Buddha's intentions and spend more time in the world, so that we can naturally promote our teachings. The Wheel Saint King Bodhisattva smiled but did not answer. As everyone drove the cloud path to Middle-earth, and stayed on the bank of the Luoshui River in Middle-earth, the Wheel Saint King Bodhisattva said that everyone went first, leaving alone to visit Luoshen. The Roselle then went on to exchange rituals. The Wheel Saint King Bodhisattva took out a Rui Shi from his sleeve and said: "God, the poor monk is ordered by the Buddha to teach the Buddha, preach my teaching, take Li Tang Jiangshan to stand on his own, and now he is going to the world to reincarnate, this is the Buddha gave the Rui Stone, please God in my reincarnation after I become an adult, declare the world, the poor monk will play the Buddha, and pay the god heavily." "The god of the Luoshui River is the little daughter of the Emperor Fuxi, because she drowned in the Luoshui when she was a child while playing, she was named Luoshen, quite prestigious, only because of the suspicion of the heavenly court can not be promoted, so there has long been a grudge, see the wheel of the holy king Bodhisattva said so, said: "The little god should help each other, but the little god is the official of the heavenly court, it is not appropriate to come forward, and please ask the Bodhisattva to order someone to respond." The Wheel Saint King Bodhisattva said: "This matter is not difficult, and there will be descendants of the martial surname to come to invite each other." The god of Luo agreed, but the Bodhisattva of the Holy King of the Wheel was afraid of the god of Luo, so he went to the god of the river and took out an inscription, and said so, please take the opportunity to offer it and announce it to the world. The two phases are proper, and they were reincarnated into the Wenshui Wushi Tong Mansion in Bingzhou, and was named Wu Meiniang.

When the Taoist disciples saw it, they were busy with Lao Jun, and wanted to kill him in infancy, Lao Jun said: "This is the number of days, and it cannot be disobeyed, if it is killed in vain, it will inevitably harm the innocent, and even if it is killed, it will inevitably be resurrected and less strong, and it will be more poisonous, then the descendants of Li Tang will have no left." Therefore he was not killed. But the countless disciples of the Taoist world, seeing this situation, all wanted to kill the Wheel Turning Saint King Bodhisattva to invite Lao Jun's merits, so they were questioned everywhere. From time to time, there is a warlock Yuan Tiangang, who is an immortal in the upper realm, and for some reason he is degraded to the lower realm. One day, when he met Mrs. Yang, a warrior, he was shocked and said: "Mrs. Fa gives birth to a noble son, and she must be a mother and a son." Mrs. Yang then took out her second son and made her look again, but she didn't want Yuan Tiangang to be noble, but she was only noble, but she was only an official of the third grade. Mrs. Yang also ordered her eldest daughter Wu Shun to come out, and Yuan Tiangang was noble and not good for her husband. Mrs. Hou Yang ordered the nurse to take out the swaddling Mei Niang, the Mei Niang was dressed as a boy, and Yuan Tiangang saw it after taking it out, and said: "Dragon pupils and phoenix neck, extremely expensive! Unfortunately, it is a son, if it is a daughter, she must be the lord of the world." The Wu couple were shocked, thanked the mage heavily, and asked him to save the life of the Wu family, Yuan Tiangang said: "Everything has its own number of days, and it is not possible for manpower." So he quit and left. The samurai Tong strictly ordered the inner and middle servants not to talk nonsense to the outside world, so he put his mind at ease. When he was fourteen years old, he was elected to the palace. Seeing that Li Tang was about to fall into the world, Tai Bai Xing ordered Yingyu Xiao'er to spread a song in the market, singing: "After Tang III, the heroine Wu Wang, there is the world on behalf of the world", and another person Cao Guan Wei Zheng passed on the decree to the master, to kill the Wu family. Li Shimin, the lord of the time, once asked Li Chunfeng about Taishiling, and Li Chunfeng told Lao Jun what he said, and Taizong did not investigate people with the surname Wu. However, the immortals still did not dare to take it lightly, and after Taizong collapsed, he ordered the master Zhao Wu Meiniang and other people to go out of the palace to practice and pursue blessings for Taizong. Later, the Western Sect designed Wu Meiniang to go to Ganye Temple to lead the practice, and learned the secret art in the room, and redesigned Gaozong and Mei Niang to meet, and only then did he take him back to the palace and become the mother of the main palace.

After the death of Gaozong, Wu Cao took the opportunity to seize the Li family, and vigorously promoted Buddhism, and issued an edict "From now on, the interpretation of Buddhism should be above the Taoism, and the obedience should be before the yellow crown." To Chengyong, the monks and nuns are still edicted to be the head of the Taoist female crown", and then ordered the son to dismiss the "Tao Te Ching", and then killed the widow and grandson of Li Tang, and belittled the Taoist disciples. And the White Horse Temple was designated as a royal temple, and the temple was built and the Buddha statue was built. Long live the first year of Tongtian, Wu Cao Zhao invited Songshan Hui'an Zen Master and Beizong Shenxiu Zen Master to enter Beijing, personally kneel and worship, respect Hui'an Zen Master as the national teacher, forgive Shenxiu Zen Master to build Dumen Temple, after Shenxiu Zen Master passed away, for it to drop out of the dynasty for five days, personally support the coffin. When Emperor Yang of Sui opened the canal, Zen Master Hui'an begged for food to relieve the hungry, and with Chaodu, he did great benevolence. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty all admired the edict, but they did not come, just because the world was a Taoist disciple at that time. Later, he went to the Songshan Shao Room, and waited for Wu Cao to send an envoy to invite, and Fang was happy to go. When he passed away, he instructed the people to put the corpse into the forest, burn it by wildfire, and obtain more than 80 relics, including five large relics, and send them to the palace for raising.

And the status of Taoism, compared with a few years ago, has already plummeted, and the woman is called the emperor, it is actually something that has not been seen in China for thousands of years, not to mention that there are no ancients before, and it is inevitable that there will be no one after him, but because of this, it is contrary to Confucian orthodoxy, so Confucianism and Taoism are very indignant against Wu Cao. In the mortal world, Li Tang hung the arch for four years, and the god of Luoshui River presented the holy map of heaven, which was engraved on the Rui stone, declaring that the people "Our Lady is coming, and the Yongchang Emperor is the industry". Subsequently, the river god also offered an inscription to declare the world. That Wu Meiniang was originally the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva of the Western Wheel Turning Saint, and was ordered by the Buddha to master Li Tang Jiangshan. The people of the mortal world do not know the reason for this, no matter who becomes the emperor, but if they have enough food and sleep, everything will be fine. That Wu Cao also conformed to the will of the people, made great efforts, persuaded the peasants, Bo Zhifu, rested on the military revolution, and spoke about the road, and the world is still a prosperous image.

Na Wu Cao deposed Li Xian and Li Dan, established himself as the emperor, known as the Holy Mother God Emperor, and wiped out the Li clan. He also built a Buddhist temple, dedicated to monks, and personally wrote the opening verse saying, "The supreme and profound subtle law, millions of calamities have been encountered, I have seen and heard it today, and I am willing to understand the true righteousness." "Excluding the children of Taoism and Confucianism. The Taoist immortal official was naturally furious, but seeing that the Western Sect had already sent many Dharma protectors to protect Wu Cao, he was also anxious. Lao Jun said: "This is the calamity of the Heavenly Dao, don't act rashly, when the Wu Clan's qi is exhausted, the paganism will naturally subside." Those disciples listened to Lao Jun's decree, and even if they were indignant, they didn't dare to say much.

After Maoshan Taoist priest was ordered to present the "True Spiritual Position Karma Map", Wu Cao rewarded it, the "True Spiritual Position Karma Map" on the book of the three thousand immortals in the middle of the earth, is written by Tao Hongjing, the master of the Shangqing School of Maoshan Mountain, the content is mostly apocryphal and hollow, the delusion is not enough to distinguish, and it has been regarded by Taoism and Confucianism as the most despicable and ugly work from the beginning. Although the book talks about Buddhism, the status of Taishang Laojun is degraded to the bottom, and although Tao Hongjing is a Taoist master, he converted to Buddhism in his later years and became a Buddhist person, so the "True Spirit Position Karma Map" is mostly recognized by Western religion. How can mortals in the world know the heavenly immortals, but the name of the gods is snared, and they have to kowtow and worship in every detail, and it is very convenient to find the gods, so they can't put down this book. Now it has been respected by the emperor of the dynasty, so the prestige of the people is even heavier.

Shi Chengdao is in the sky, although he has a few officials, but he has no real power, and he has become tired of being happy at the beginning, and it is difficult to show his retribution with his heart, and he is depressed and unwilling. One day, he heard that the Li family in the world had changed hands, and now the emperor of the mortal world turned out to be the heroine, and he felt that the time was ripe, so he sent the lower realm to find the old Fujun Zhang Guo, and whispered, the old Fujun understood in his heart, and naturally obeyed the order. Enlightenment returned to heaven, went to the Tushi Palace to meet Lao Jun, and said after the disciple bowed: "Taishang, now the mortal world has changed hands, and Buddhism has flourished, and for a long time it will put my Taoism in a place where it has no foothold, and the disciple is willing to go to the world to persuade that Wu Cao to revive my religion, I don't know if the Taishang will agree?" The old gentleman pondered for a long time, and said: "The true monarch is here, the poor road knows his mind, the mortal world has changed hands, and the chicken Sichen is really bad for my yin and yang, but the way of heaven is like this, I am afraid that the true monarch is difficult to reverse." Cheng Dao said: "Although the way of heaven is coming, if there is no human power to help it, I am afraid that the intensification will be slowed down." Now, that Wu Cao has seized Li Tang Jiangshan, and that Li Tang is the foundation of my Taoism, if the descendants are extinct, I am afraid it will be difficult to promote my Taoism. Now I have to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, send people to order Na Wu Cao to stop killing and support my teaching. Moreover, if this move, it will strengthen my teaching, and if it is not successful, it will not hinder my teaching, and please think twice. Taishang Laojun knows that Taoism is weak and falling apart, which is not enough to stop Buddhism from advancing eastward, and what Li Chengdao said is not unreasonable, so he said: "Zhenjun is going, can you be concerned?" Li Chengdao said: "My common surname is Li, although it is not the same lineage, but it is also the same sect, and the disciple is willing to take the lead for the Taishang body and clear the danger in the world, so please Ying." The disciples are hanging, nothing more than the people in the world, such as today, from the royal palace to the people's houses, all confused, ** Gangchang, the people of the mortal world, regardless of the yellow mouth, to the greed to the hateful, angry, if the Taishang promised the disciple to govern the world, he must clear the anger and raise my prestige. Taishang Laojun said to himself: "This matter is not difficult, there is a mother of heaven and earth who has a word first, and now there is a merit for saving the orthodox religion in the back......" turned to Li Chengdao and said: "If the true monarch can do three things, the poor Dao will definitely help." "Enlightenment and thanks, Taishang Laojun said: "The first thing is to cut off the foundation of the martial arts, and not to make him pass on the martial surname, and to return the country to Li Tang; the second thing is to advocate Taoism and follow our religion as the state religion; and the third thing is to abandon Western religion and make it not confuse the people." These three things, can the true monarch rely on?" Li Chengdao said: "Although these three things are difficult to do, the disciple is willing to give it a try, and if he succeeds, he hopes that the Taishang will be fulfilled." Taishang Laojun said: "This is natural." Lao Jun was afraid that the Western Religion would rebel against the party, so he gave Chengdao the battle armor and three nine-turn gold pills used by the Gonggong God back then, and Chengdao said goodbye to Laojun and went straight to the netherworld.

Besides, at that time, Lao Fujun had been demoted by Heaven for hundreds of years, cultivated in Zhongtiao Mountain, refined the elixir of immortality, and wrote "The Immortal Attainment of the Tao Elixir Sutra", "Dansha Jue", and "The True Secret of the Great God Dansha of the Jade Cave". Taizong and Gaozong admired their high name, and sent people to summon them, but they did not come. After Wu Cao ascended the throne, he also sent people to invite, but the old Fujun knew that the Wu family was a member of the Western Sect, and he did not want to get involved in it, but because of the enlightenment, he came with the envoys, and when he went to the temple of jealousy, he told the envoys that he handed over a bag to the emperor, and then even if he had a spell, he fainted and died. Emperor Nawu opened the bag, but saw four words: Cultivating for the truth, spreading the Fa to the red dust, wanting to know what was going on after his death, praying to Li Zhenjun.

Emperor Nawu immediately ordered people to put down an incense case in the imperial garden, and the imperial garden, the flowers bloomed at four o'clock, but the peony was not seen. Legend has it that after Wu Cao ascended the throne, he was drunk on the eighth day of the lunar month, wandering around the imperial garden, but seeing a plum blooming, the meaning was still unfinished, and the flower fairy was ordered - "The Ming Dynasty traveled to the garden, and quickly reported the spring." The flowers are sent overnight, don't wait for the wind to blow. "The fairy of the hundred flowers was afraid of Wu Cao's obscenity, and did not dare to disobey, so that the flowers bloomed, but the peony refused to obey the order. The next day, the flowers bloomed in the cold, but the peonies did not bloom. Wu Cao was furious, made people burn the peony, dug out the roots, demoted the national capital Chang'an, and abandoned it to Luoyang Mountain, so that the peony was cut off and extinct. Just never thought that the peony flower god and many Taoist gods are close friends, the gods are indignant, so that the peony can be famous all over the world, the peony to the mountain, in the remote ravines to live, every time the valley rains, they have to bloom, the national color is fragrant, attracting people from all over the world to watch, the peony has become the national flower. Taoism admires the hard muscles and bones of the peony, and it is ordered that the peony flower god be reincarnated as Ouyang Xiu, becoming the four masters of the ancient articles, and the other four masters of the Song Dynasty in the eight families of the Tang and Song dynasties, all from the gate of Ouyang Xiu. That's for later.

It is said that Wu Cao burned incense and worshipped, and invited Li Tianjun to the altar, and Chengdao received the documents, turning into a gust of breeze, and the imperial garden was very magnificent. But see:

The pavilions and pavilions should be all in place, and the stacked stones are full of painting scenes. It is better than the Queen Mother of Heaven, and it does not lose to Penglai Wonderland.

Jintang depicts gold and paints phoenixes, and Caige silver pen carves dragons. Under the blue wave koi jade bridge, the flowers bloom and bathe in the spring breeze.

The gold bricks are built on the vermilion wall, and the clams are paved into the path. Layers of twists and turns, everywhere dragons and phoenixes.

The silver light spreads over the end floor, and the Ruicai flow covers the imperial pavilion. Strange flowers and flowers are famous, but peonies are disrespectful.

Shangguan Wan'er used cinnabar to write "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty invites Li Tianjun to the altar to serve and beg", and when the yellow table paper was incinerated, she bowed on behalf of the lord, but she did not see the arrival of the gods. Emperor Nawu was helpless and took a deep look, but when he saw the sound of the sky, a golden god floated down. When Emperor Nawu saw it, he was also overjoyed, and then said: "Today's god to the altar has really made my country prestige and dignity, and I am very relieved. Cheng Daoyan said: "Your Majesty's words are serious. Emperor Wu said: "May God bestow the law of immortality, and I will be determined to respect God and forgive the gods, and set it as the important temple of the country, and make a golden body and become famous for thousands of years." Cheng Dao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are quiet in life, and you are better than thousands of riches, and after death, bliss is better than eternal life." As long as Your Majesty does good deeds and does not kill wantonly, he will definitely be able to live a long and healthy life, so why should he worship Buddha and pray to God. Emperor Nawu was displeased, and said: "The words of the gods are also cultivation, but I am in his position and should seek his government." Nowadays, the people of the world are all rejoicing, but only the traitorous party, who fears the world and does not mess up, talks about the most heinous words, and does things that harm the country and the people, I cannot tolerate it. Cheng Daoyan said: "Your Majesty is under the prosperity of Li Tang, and he should conform to the will of the people, abide by the three outlines and five constants, and should not covet the big position." Although he has now become the lord, he should also return to the Li family, and he should no longer make mistakes. ”

Emperor Wu's face was gloomy, and the official Shangguan Wan'er saw it, and said: "My lord is the emperor, which is the law of the Buddha in the West, and there are "Great Cloud Sutra" and "Great Nirvana Sutra" as evidence. ”

Cheng Dao said: "The scriptures are translated by mortals, the heart is right, the heart is evil, and the heart is evil, and the mortals have not opened their seven senses and their eyes are not clear, how can they reach the holy will of the Buddha? There are many scriptures in the world, and there are also speculative people who chisel the holy scriptures and tricks people who attach to the Sanskrit sound, and many of them are not credible. ”

Emperor Nawu was furious, but he didn't dare to leave because of the dignity of the gods. Enlightenment replied: "If you come today, you should look at the prosperity of the world and the image of a strong country, but you can see that the believers in the world have been repeatedly expelled, and the believers in Buddhism are born in the wind, which is really not a sign of prosperity. May Your Majesty's golden decree work together to make Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism stand side by side and prosper Dafa, which is the best policy. ”

The official Shangguan Wan'er said: "The heavenly monarch is bad, Buddhism is the honor of all saints, where the Dharma is preached, the people have no suffering, their hearts are quiet before life, and they are blissful in death, but they are more loving than the alchemy and cultivation of qi." ”

Cheng Daoyan said: "Shangguan system, you were originally the reincarnation of the hosta flower god in the Han Dynasty, and the heavenly court took pity on your grandfather for being wronged, so he ordered the golden armor god to give you a measure of talent, and promised you supreme glory. ”

Shangguan said: "The disciple should talk about the matter, and the heavenly monarch should also talk about it on the basis of reason." ”

Cheng Dao said: "Buddhism claims to live the world, but blindly goes eastward, and is not in harmony with the heavenly court, resulting in the people being widely implicated, at least losing their homes and losing their jobs, and at worst starving all over the wilderness, the three realms are chaotic, although it is not the fault of the Buddhists, but because of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the people of Li suffered, which is contrary to the original intention of the Buddhists, how can they claim to be fraternity?"

Shangguan said: "Even if Buddhism is slightly insufficient, it is a hundred times stronger than Taoism." That Taoist only cares about his own daytime ascension, how can he ever save the suffering and save the suffering?" Cheng Dao said: "Taoism is the original religion of the Middle Earth, the authentic sect of China, since the Shang Tang, thousands of years of prosperity, through the Zhou, Han, Jin dynasties, are hundreds of years of qi, and after the Buddhism eastward, all dynasties are just short-lived countries, premature death of the state, during the war and chaos, how many disasters have occurred? Even in this prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, it is also the support of Taoism, and now His Majesty worships Buddhism and suppresses Taoism, and will not be able to win the hearts of the people of the world, and the country will not be long in the future. At that time, the smoke will rise, and the people will be caught in fire and water again. ”

Emperor Nawu said: "What the Heavenly Monarch said is reasonable, but my world is the help of the Buddhists, and the Confucianism, Taoism and criticism, how can I believe it?" Now that Your Majesty has ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can the Heavenly Court ever do anything to make trouble? All the hundred officials in the court and the central court are all Confucian disciples, and they can all abide by the rules, but which one of them has not tried their best to assist? From this point of view, how can there ever be a Confucianism and Taoism that is difficult?

Emperor Nawu silently. Chengdao said: "Your Majesty's actions are really unfavorable. First, the Buddha's original intention was to save people, so that those who practice the Dharma are far away from reversing right and wrong, and there is no dirt on their bodies, but those who pass on the Dharma in the world are willing to kill themselves at every turn in order to win the trust of others, and some of them cut off their limbs, and some of them set fire to themselves, which is contrary to the will of heaven and self-love, and is definitely not what the Buddha is happy to believe. However, His Majesty let it go, and took it as a believe, and the world said that it was the Buddha who instigated it, which made people frightened, so that although the Buddha knew His Majesty's painstaking efforts, he still did not rejoice, and should be blamed for his ineffective transmission of the Dharma. The two, His Majesty inherited the Tang Dynasty, the people were abundant, and the people were all disciples of the Taishang, but His Majesty degraded the name of the Emperor Xuanyuan of Taishang and changed his name to Laojun, which is actually the evidence of being an enemy of Taoism, and now he has abandoned the Tao and promoted the Buddha, and there are thousands of Taoist disciples in this Middle Earth, if His Majesty wants to maintain peace and stability for a long time, it is unwise to abandon Taoism. Third, the world Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation of the three religions coexist, Your Majesty has seen the sin in the two religions, that Confucianism categorically refuses to help Your Majesty, although Confucianism can not be a profound saint, but can command the world's students, if Your Majesty wants to pass on the name of future generations, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, then you should advocate benevolence, avoid wanton killing, sin yourself Chen Shu, push the three religions side by side, is the right way. ”

Emperor Nawu said: "I inherit the will of heaven, to be the lord of this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, it is really for the benefit of the people, now looking at the words of the true monarch, quite reasonable, I am willing to exchange piety for the creation of the common people." However, the matter is big, I should sort out the context, and after ensuring the safety of the society, Li Tang will naturally be passed on. ”

Cheng Daoyan said: "You have no jokes, since Your Majesty said so, the deity is very pleased, and the deity is willing to do his best to protect His Majesty's mourning after the collapse." Emperor Wu thanked him, and Cheng Dao replied: "But the deity still has one thing to ask for, and I hope Your Majesty will not hesitate to give it." "Exactly: Hugh Dao Immortal Family is all spiritual, and the gods and Buddhas are also embarrassed.

I don't know what to ask for, and let's see the next breakdown.
