Chapter 76: I wish to issue the Journey to the West, but there is also a requirement...... It's just a family that you have to leave!
On the banks of the Weishui River, the north gate opens...... Li Shimin sat on top of the shadow, Wei Zheng on the left, Li Jing on the right, Cheng Biting Jin, and Red Whisk Nu each led an army, followed by Kong Yingda, Li Gang and many other ministers of the Qin Palace, all of whom showed grief and indignation, and slowly came to the opposite side of the patriarchs of the various clans of the family!
Especially the ministers such as Kong Yingda, Li Gang, and Qin Shubao, they only felt as if they were feeling the Turkic siege again, and they wanted to shoot anger in their eyes, wanting to completely burn down the family master in front of them!
Of course, Kong Yingda and others have such an attitude because Li Shimin was afraid that they would leak it and did not tell them the truth!
And the people who knew about this plan for a long time, except for Li Shimin, who is a god, all of them have extraordinary acting skills, how can they be exposed?
Seeing this, the head of the family was even more satisfied...... Tang Wang? Scold! Without them, it's a puppet! Do you really think that with the help of heaven, you can turn the sky upside down?
"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty!"
After all, the eldest grandson Wuji still has the identity of Li Shimin's eldest brother, and took the initiative to open his mouth to greet him.
The rest of the heads of the family saw that the leaders had worshipped, and Li Shimin was inevitably killed, so they followed suit and bowed, but no one offended King Tang when he first spoke.
"Humph! I don't deserve to be your king! ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly, his words and expression were full of unwillingness: "Eldest grandson Wuji, your sister is the queen of the Middle Palace, and you are also the old minister of the Qin Palace, who rebelled with me and ruled the world, why did you choose the family in the end?!" ”
"Your Majesty......"
Mentioning the old things, the eldest grandson Wuji only felt that he was a little ashamed, lowered his head, and did not dare to look directly at Li Shimin.
Seeing that the momentum of the head of the family was getting weaker and weaker, the head of the Lu family took the initiative to step forward and share his worries with the eldest grandson: "Your Majesty, why bother with the eldest grandson." Why did you choose the family, doesn't Your Majesty know? ”
"Now that Your Majesty can come to Weishui to meet us, it is the most perfect answer!"
"What we want, Your Majesty can't give it, then we can only get it ourselves!"
Facing the answer of the head of the Lu family, Li Shimin glanced at him coldly, heh, I want to know, when you really give up your identity as a human race and go to the Western Heavens, can you still be as arrogant as you are now!
"Humph!"
Of course, on the surface, he still pretended to be very aggrieved, but he just snorted coldly, expressing his helplessness and concessions!
"Your Majesty doesn't want to delay any longer, the current situation is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to talk about right and wrong."
The head of the Lu family looked at Li Shimin triumphantly and said, looking like a victor: "I don't know our request, Your Majesty is willing to compromise?" Would you like to say yes? ”
Li Shimin was silent...... The other party was not in a hurry, just looked at him like this.
Behind him, countless courtiers and generals gritted their teeth and crunched! The king humiliated the ministers to death, not to mention, they saw the changes in the people of Chang'an with their own eyes, and they also knew that Li Shimin was really making decisions for the people! It's Mingjun!
This also makes them more and more unacceptable!
Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Jingde, two short-tempered generals, clenched their weapons even more, and they were about to rush up and hack this guy to death!
Fortunately, Cheng Biting Jin realized that something was wrong in time and held them down......
"Old man Cheng, you are evil...... Not! ”
Seeing that the two were still talking, Cheng Yanjin stuffed a shoe into it and gave them a look at the same time...... Calm down!
The movement behind Li Shimin was also discovered by many family heads...... But they were not in a hurry at all, and the smiles on their faces were even brighter! He believes that Li Shimin, who is clamoring to be the king of Tang every day, will make a suitable decision!
Sure enough, Li Shimin closed his eyes and showed a slightly aggrieved look...... Then he opened his eyes suddenly, and returned to the sharp and heroic eyes he had just conquered the world!
"With the order of the king of people, I can agree to travel to the west! But, I have a request! ”
"Your Majesty can do it!"
The eldest grandson Wuji has regained the leadership, and then looking at his face, where is the guilty look?
Li Shimin sneered lightly in his heart...... Scold! This is the Maison! Profit first! Even, for the sake of the family's interests, even the sister who grew up together and loved him can give up!
In order to act, he has asked the eldest grandson queen to take the prince and others in the palace to pretend to be sent to the cold palace for a long time...... But today, how could I have seen the eldest grandson Wuji ask once!
"After reaching the three points, I can make a heavenly oath and issue a decree to help the Journey to the West!"
"First, I know that the Buddha Sect will definitely promise the whole family to fly to the Western Heaven Elysium, so after the oath is issued, you must move your family to ascend, and you must not leave any children of the nine clans in the Nanzhan Continent!"
"Yes!"
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded, and took a sip...... This was originally an agreement between them and Buddhism, otherwise they would not be able to persuade the children of the family to use the family property to subsidize those untouchables and leaders!
"Second, when leaving, in addition to their belongings, you must hand over all the remaining fields and property in your hands to Datang and fill the treasury!"
"Third, hand over all the city's control to Datang! Complete the real handover, not the so-called ledger on the surface! ”
Li Shimin said the other two points in one breath...... For a while, the eldest grandson Wuji was a little hesitant.
property, land, ...... Don't look at the fact that they have subsidized the people in the past seven years and confronted the Tang Dynasty, but they still have two-thirds of the property, fields, etc...... It's really a bit reluctant to hand it over like this!
You must know that these belongings, when they go to the Western Heavens, they can't be exchanged for some cultivation things!
"Your Majesty, the property of the family has been accumulated by the elders for thousands of years, and I am afraid it will not work if you pay it like this."
"Heh, they have all gone to become Buddhas and ancestors, mortal property, is it still useful to you?" Li Shimin sneered: "You have exploited the people for thousands of years, and they have only made up for the people...... If it weren't for Buddhism, how could anyone in your family go to the heavenly realm? ”
"Asking you to hand it over is just to accumulate merit for you!"
Li Shimin's words were not listened to by the eldest grandson Wuji in the slightest...... Still thinking about the pros and cons......
In the dark, Rulai and Guanyin glanced at each other, they were born monks, and they really didn't understand what mortal possessions did to monks.
To put it simply, the cultivation resources that the monk wants are not at all the things that mortal treasures can be exchanged! Even those thousand-year-old and 10,000-year-old ginseng, as long as they don't transform and fail to absorb the aura, they are useless to the monks!
As for those who have absorbed the aura, how can they be picked by mortals? As for gold and silver, have you ever heard of the little spell of turning stones into gold?
Don't look at Buddhism, which is keen to accept mortal offerings, but it has never been used by Buddhism, but it is just the lowest level of Buddhism, and they need to practice with incense! Oh, by the way, there are pseudo-Buddhas like the Buddha of Joy who like beauty......
Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't agree for a long time, Rulai was a little impatient...... His lips moved slightly, and a sound did not enter the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji......
"Agree to the request of King Tang, after going to the West Heaven, you can compensate each family with a marrow washing pill, get rid of the vulgar pill, and completely get rid of the mortal body...... However, it is also necessary for the king of Tang to swear that he will worship Buddha and open water and land conferences......"
It is not yet the deadline for Journey to the West, and Buddhism has not yet put the devil into the territory of Datang...... Therefore, Rulai needs a bigger momentum to build momentum for Journey to the West!
The eldest grandson Wuji's face was happy, compared to the marrow washing pill and the vulgar pill, mortal wealth is indeed useless!
"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"
"You are no longer a Tang courtier! Even, not worthy of being human! ”
Li Shimin directly interrupted the eldest grandson Wuji's narration and reprimanded.
Eldest Sun Wuji's face was embarrassed for a second, and he returned to his natural nature in a moment.
"On behalf of the head of the family, I can fully agree to Your Majesty's conditions! But in the same way, His Majesty should add two conditions when making the Heavenly Dao Oath! ”
"When the scripture learner travels west to promulgate the holy decree, His Majesty needs to hold a 7749-day water and land conference to pray for the blessings of the people of the Tang Dynasty! And made a holy decree to promise that when he returns from the scriptures, he should spread the true scriptures in the territory of Datang! ”
Li Shimin was silent...... He was going to tear it up after he gave the decree! Worship Buddha? After the family leaves, he will completely suppress Buddhism, how can he worship Buddhism?!
can see the expression of the eldest grandson Wuji, you can know that these two conditions must be put forward by the Buddhism behind the family! If you don't......
"Yes!"
Just when Li Shimin was thinking about how to negotiate with the family, Wei Zheng's voice came to his ears!
"Heavenly Court has already decided to let Jin Chanzi, Sun Wukong and others lead the Buddhism after traveling westward and revise the Buddhist teachings...... At that time, Buddhism will also stand side by side with Taoism, Confucianism, Dharma, and a hundred schools, and there will be no hindrance in promise! ”
After receiving the affirmation of the gods of the heavenly court, Li Shimin had no worries, and after pretending to think and struggling for a while, he nodded with difficulty: "But!" ”
"In this case, please swear to Your Majesty!"
"Don't panic! When you're done, I'll swear by it! ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly, shook his right hand, turned around and left...... Leaving behind many family owners cheering, a victor's attitude!
Needless to say, the aggrieved ministers of the Tang Dynasty, with the officials cultivated in the past seven years, rushed out as soon as possible and took over the cities in various places......
And with the precedent of Chang'an, although the people also miss the days when the family gave money and kept them in captivity, they also knew that this plan could not last long, and they all silently chose to acquiesce and accepted the fact that their city lord was replaced and a ruler was changed!
This also made the pace of Datang taking over the city and truly unifying the world much faster!
So, half a month later...... Li Shimin led the officials to meet the head of the family again on the bank of the Weishui River!
"Your Majesty,"
After half a month of baptism, the eldest grandson Wuji faced Li Shimin again, and he no longer had the guilt he had before! You can face him.
"The major cities of the Tang Dynasty have been taken over, and the family's promise has been fulfilled, and now, it is your Majesty's turn."
"I'm sure Your Majesty wouldn't want to break the contract, right?"
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin with a smile, like an old fox.
Li Shimin looked at him steadily: "Today, I will call you Uncle Guo for the last time...... Uncle Guo, come back, I miss you very much! ”
For the sake of his wife, Li Shimin sent an invitation to the family for the first time! Even if it's just for the eldest grandson, Wuji alone.
The eldest grandson Wuji was silent...... If Li Shimin could promise to take him to Heavenly Court, maybe he would consider it...... Can ...... now
One side can immediately go to the West Heaven and become a Buddha and an ancestor; One party still has to do meritorious things, and only then can he have a chance to ...... It's just that I have the opportunity to go to heaven and become a god, and I have to cut off the red dust......
Don't think about it, the eldest grandson Wuji has already made a decision!
How can hard work be compared to shortcuts?
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head again, not daring to look at Li Shimin.
A look of disappointment flashed in Li Shimin's eyes...... After all, family affection can't compare to interests!
On the side, many family heads were afraid that Li Shimin would oppose the eldest grandson Wuji...... After all, even if he went to the Western Elysium, it was obvious that the Buddha's attitude towards the eldest grandson Wuji was much better than that of his family!
"Li Shimin!"
Lu Yigong of the Lu family took a step forward and was extremely arrogant! It's as if you want to vent the anger you received in the court that day! He actually pointed to Tang Wang's nose and said, "I am willing to lose the bet!" It's your turn! ”
When the voice fell, he sneered mockingly in the direction of Wei Zheng: "Even if there is Heavenly Court to help you, what about it?" In the end, King Tang, you don't have to swear obediently. ”
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, these family heads were really carried away!
It's just that he won't tell the other party that the Western Bliss of Buddhism is far from being as easy as he imagined!
"Heaven is above!" Li Shimin did not delay any longer, raised his hand and swore: "Ten years later, Chen Xuanzang will reach the age of eighteen, and I should pray for the blessings of the people and hold a water and land conference...... I will become brothers with him, take the Western Sanzang scriptures, and cross people for good...... If this oath is violated, it should be destroyed by thunder, and the soul will go to the eighteen layers of hell, and it will not change for eternity! ”
If Buddhism has not changed after the journey to the west, it will still be of no benefit to the human race...... I Li Shimin would rather suffer the punishment of hell for 10,000 years than preach Buddhism and harm the human race!
Between vows, Li Shimin silently made a promise...... Back then, the fourth emperor was willing to be the future of the human race, overcoming obstacles and fighting against the immortals...... As a holy king, how can I be weaker than others!
The head of the family didn't know what Li Shimin said in his heart, but when he saw that the oath was vicious and his eyes were firm, he thought that the task had been completed, and he was immediately overjoyed, clapping his hands and laughing!
"It's done!"
As the sound fell, the golden Buddha light in the west bloomed, and a golden avenue spread from afar and fell to the feet of the heads of the families...... Many family heads were overjoyed, overjoyed, and ecstatic to rush onto the golden light Buddha road one after another, and together with the heirs of each family, crazy to the west!
Only the eldest grandson Wuji allowed the heirs of the eldest grandson family, and even the eldest grandson to rush to the golden light Buddha road and go straight to the Western Heavenly Bliss...... I stood still for a long time!
"Brother-in-law...... Please also tell my sister, brother, I'm sorry for her! ”
After saying the last sentence, the eldest grandson Wuji glanced at the direction of the palace with longing, turned around, and stepped out, never to return to the body of the human race!
Li Shimin stretched out his hand, but after all, he still didn't open his mouth to stop him...... Hey, the path you choose can only go on your own. Uncle, take care! ——
Western Spiritual Mountain, Elysium!
Many family heads arrived together, followed by the children of various families, and they poured into Lingshan one after another!
Looking at the splendid Daxiong Treasure Hall in front of him, without waiting for the heads of the family to speak, one of the children of the Wang family couldn't wait to step into the hall with one foot, trying to become the first to become a Buddha......
And then......
"Ahh ~”
