The cold and deep hall, gilded pillars support this magnificent and solemn building, the dome of this hall is inlaid with three hundred and sixty-five fist-sized pearls, as if the stars are arches, sitting on the highest part of this position, when looking down, it is as if anyone is a head lower than themselves, prostrate like ants.

Dressed in a scribe-like robe, plain clothes, with only a jasper on his waist, Li Hui, walked up to the top of this staircase step by step, the simple sleeve robe hung down, his palm lightly pressed on the throne, his fingers brushed over the throne little by little, the touch was cold, and finally he pressed the cold armrests on both sides of the throne with both hands, and sat down slowly.

It was as if enveloped by a cold feeling, looking down on the front, the land of Kyushu and all living beings were under your feet.

Recalling that when I was in this position, I respectfully greeted him, and my whole body seemed to bow down as if I was stiff.

Compared with the expulsion sitting here now, it has formed an indescribable feeling.

This is the throne.

This is, authority!

Li Hui exhaled, he was once willing to protect the Xuanjia Army, called on literati to gather public opinion, and barely balanced his father's authority, but at this moment he suddenly began to empathize with his father.

There is such a location.

Supreme.

Unparalleled.

Everything you see, this world and Kyushu, all things, should be crawling under your feet.

They call you a saint!

They revere you as the emperor!

The taste of this kind of power is really more wonderful than everything, in the mouth of the literati, love the country and love the beauty more, but it is just the delusion of people who have never stepped into such a position of power, and when they understand the beauty of this kind of power, any beauty is just a passing cloud, like all things, how can they get into the eyes?

"Congratulations to the Holy Emperor, congratulations to the Holy Emperor."

"To be able to ascend to the great treasure and respect him as a saint, since then humanity and luck have all been in the hands of His Majesty, a thought of wind and rain, and a thought of thunder......"

The gentle voice woke Li Hui from this trance-like dream-like feeling, he put his hands on the cold throne, lowered his eyes to look at the monk who came out of the shadows, saw his expression of kindness, his eyes were sad, his hands were folded, as if he was standing on a pure holy place, and countless lotus flowers around him opened and rose here.

This is one of the Buddhas who helped him ascend to the throne.

The so-called support, not with the power of magic and for it, if only so, the world's fierce talents, all will not burst out, those civil and military generals will inevitably back, in fact, it is the Buddhas who have shaped all kinds of auspiciousness, and with the help of Li Hui's forces to promote public opinion, on the one hand, the previous emperor's actions are made public, on the other hand, it is step by step in line with auspiciousness.

Soon afterward, many laws and regulations that were beneficial to the people's livelihood were promulgated, such as the light punishment and the small payment, which were well received.

The combination of the three has led to this position.

Among them, the suppression of unconvinced courtier families is the contribution of Buddhism.

Gazing at this servant of the dragon.

A chill flashed in Li Hui's eyes.

He wants to sit on the throne, but he is not going to listen to the words of the monks.

Said lightly: "It turned out to be a master, and now I have achieved the merits, with your merits, I can allow you to build a temple in this capital, open incense, and attract believers, however, the gods and martial arts in the world are places that pay attention to laws and regulations, and the master's every move also needs to conform to the laws and regulations of my world, please go yourself." ”

The monk was stunned, and immediately realized that the new young emperor in front of him had a greater appetite than the previous generation, and his methods were more cautious, and his behavior was becoming more and more vicious.

Good Emperor!

There was a hint of anger in the hearts of the monks.

But he knew how to convince this young emperor, who was also young and ambitious, folded his hands, and immediately sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity-" As he spoke, he turned around, shook his head, and left step by step, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and it was when he was complacent that he couldn't hear such a sigh, so he frowned and said:

"What did you say?"

The monk's footsteps paused slightly, and he said lightly: "The poor monk only said that it was a pity. ”

"What a pity?!"

"What a pity? It's a pity that the previous generation of sage emperors, who was also eloquent and strategic, was not satisfied with the lord of the world, wanted to be a great product, immortal, even indulged in all spirits, balanced the Dao Buddha, and joined forces with the heavenly court, but in the end, at the last step, the success was successful, and a mountain and wild Taoist broke in with a sword, and was killed in front of everyone. ”

"And its prosperity, the world, the lord of all souls, and the Donghua Emperor has an appointment, dominate Kyushu, although there is a group of cultivation immortals, can not compete with it, all things, life and death are in a thought; And in the end, he died at the hands of others, and laughed for the world, and even everything behind him will become the ladder for future generations to climb the ladder of the great treasure, and the statement will be ruined, isn't it also sad? ”

Li Hui said slowly: "What do you want to say?" ”

The monk turned around and said, "The first emperor was unrivaled in the realm of checks and balances, and in the end, he died at the hands of others, didn't Your Majesty think about the reason?" ”

"Why?!"

"Yes, but only a little."

The monk slowly stretched out his fingers, his words were concise and to the point, and his voice fell on Li Hui's ears flatly, but it was like thunder, and said, "Said-the great power does not belong to oneself." ”

This answer undoubtedly hit Li Hui's heart, he held his sword, but he never pulled out this sharp sword, his eyes drooped slightly, and his voice was low: "The great power does not belong to his body. ”

The monk said gently: "Yes, it is precisely because his great power does not belong to himself, but comes from the human world, and will also be affected by the human world, which led to him having to join forces with the Emperor of Donghua and the Lord of All Souls at the beginning, but such a joint effort, he himself is in a lower position, and he is interfered with by others, and then the people's hearts gradually deviate, and his luck is not as good as day by day, but in the end he was killed by a few people." ”

"However, Your Majesty has ever thought that the ancient emperor eight thousand years ago, but the great power belongs to himself, and can rival the dragon emperor of the demon clan, and even enough to ascend to the sky, and the strong man who argues with the Jade Emperor, that is the legendary realm of great products, immortality, but it is just a trivial matter."

"In the Daomen, it is called Tianzun; In the heavenly realm, he is called the emperor, even in my Buddha gate, he also has to sit on the lotus platform and call the Buddhas; The reason why the emperor of later generations no longer has such great power is only because of one reason. ”

Li Hui's right hand held the sword.

He stared at the monk in front of him, and the reason in his heart told himself that every word of this monk could not be believed, that it was a trap, a bait that dragged the beast into the pit, but it was precisely because of the reason for his throne, because he saw his father, who was majestic and indifferent when he held power, and who was as high as a god, but also weak and powerless when he was killed.

He has benefited from this.

But it's the most terrifying, and one day I'll become like this.

What the monk said just touched the weakness in his heart, and he subconsciously said, "Why? ”

The monk said: "It is precisely because of the mercy of the human emperor that he returned all the great powers to the common people." ”

Li Hui subconsciously retorted and said, "No, the luck of humanity comes from the common people!" ”

"What do you mean by giving them back!"

"You're bewitching me!"

"Does Your Majesty think this is demagogy? Ah, the emperor must give everything back to the people, the emperor must follow the teachings of the ancients, and be an example for the common people, your majesty, you have also been [domesticated] by these so-called morals. ”

The monk walked towards him step by step, held down Li Hui's sword with his palm, and said kindly:

"Don't you know? You are already high, the reason why you are high is because in the previous life, the previous life, and even back to the tenth life, you are a benevolent, courageous and kind person who sacrificed for the common life, and it is precisely because of your sacrifice in the previous life that you have the fate of reincarnating in the emperor's house in this life, which is the compensation for you in the way of reincarnation. ”

"And those despicable people are reincarnated in this life to forgive their sins because of greed, crime, or theft and robbery in their previous lives, you know?"

The monk's expression was gentle and compassionate.

He said that after being modified and distorted on top of the Buddha's idea, he became a great temptation for all superior beings.

"They deserve to suffer."

"You are on the throne, you are destined in your previous life, and you are the result of your sacrifice in your previous life in this life."

"You're on top, they're on top, it's all a matter of course......"

The sound of kindness, which seemed to be the perfect concept of reincarnation, showed a certain fatal allure at this time, the lights on the golden pillars burned and flickered, and the reflected light projected the figures of the monk and the emperor on the wall, as if there was a huge beast about to devour people's heads.

Li Hui knew the mistakes and omissions in the words of the monk opposite, but he could not resist the great temptation brought by this omission.

Just as people know that drinking is not good, but they are often addicted to alcohol; I know that it's wrong to be obsessed with women, but it's always hard to quit sex.

These mistakes always come with great temptation.

Li Hui struggled and retorted: "No, these luck are the people's fat and people's anointing, the blood of the people, I, how can I take all this for myself?" ”

The monk said gently: "No, no, no, the reincarnation of cause and effect, the previous life is destined, Your Majesty." ”

There was no light in his eyes, and he said the greatest evil:

"You've stepped on everyone's heads in this life because—"

"They owe you."

……………………

The Holy Emperor ascended the throne.

A decree was promulgated to grant amnesty to the world, many of which were good for the people, but there were also many more provisions, which at first glance were nothing, but when this provision was combined with the rest of the decrees, there would be loopholes, and these loopholes were prepared for some special people.

Monks.

These monks and Buddhist cultivators can be exempted from forced labor and taxes, which already has the power of extreme terror, both the people in order to avoid taxes and put themselves under the Buddhism, and the great families in order to get many benefits, their own residence and courtyard changed to [Lan Ruo], that is, a privately established monastic place, for a while, the world has moved, since the time of the emperor planted the seeds completely exploded overnight.

In a short period of time, thousands of temples have sprung up.

The monasteries also expanded rapidly, and a large number of men of school age who wanted to avoid forced labor and taxes joined the monasteries.

The tax revenue of the family and the country has dropped sharply, but there is gradually a trend of needing to spend money to support the monks, and it is even rumored that there is a third refuge in addition to "taking refuge in the Buddha and taking refuge in the law".

[Refuge in Sangha].

To study Buddhism, do you still need to take refuge in monks who also worship Buddhism?

It is even said that every time and every festival, offering to monks can obtain immeasurable merit.

For a time, the world was surging, and there were countless shrewd people, shrewd monks, chasing interests, but there were also monks who were at a loss.

A boat was on the riverside, and an old monk stuffed the package into the arms of his illiterate young disciple, and then said: "You leave quickly, and today's chaos is also a catastrophe in Buddhism." ”

The young disciple was puzzled: "Who has the calamity?" ”

The old man snooped: "Buddha." ”

The young man pointed to himself and asked with a smile, "Teacher, you are so strange, is the disciple a Buddha?" ”

"Are you a Buddha again?"

"If you are not a Buddha, why should you avoid it; Since it's a Buddha, why avoid it? ”

The old monk sighed, this young man is a cattle herding baby whose parents died, but he can understand the true meaning of Buddhism, so he will be included in the door, and today there is a big change, and he will remain here again, and he will pass the mantle to him, I am afraid that he will die from those monks who stare at the inheritance of this mantle for the sake of profit, but he did not answer immediately, but pushed hard, the wind rose, and sent the disciple who held the mantle away.

With his hands folded, he murmured, "My disciple, you inherit my mantle, but you must be careful of the pursuers. ”

"You need to be incognito, and after 15 years, the world will be decided, and you can be born."

The old monk looked at the monks who were familiar but seemed to be unfamiliar, and saw them wearing monks' robes, sitting on the monk's platform, living in the temple, reciting Buddhist scriptures, but doing such beneficial things, and couldn't help but feel sad and tears flowed.

The sword flashed in front of him, but he had been killed.

This situation is not only not a few, but also surging all over Kyushu, and the various forces that began to prepare under the order of the previous emperor have not withdrawn their previous preparations because of the death of the emperor, although they have become cautious because of the death of the emperor, and now when the opportunity comes, major changes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

At this moment, there are rumors again-

Li Zhai, the leader of the soldiers, led the army out of the town in all directions, swept through the surrounding three countries, and broke hundreds of thousands of enemies.

The military power was sharp, and the nations were terrified.

It's just that when everyone is thinking that this military leader is expressing his unconditional support for his brother.

This world-famous general suddenly turned his troops and rushed directly to the capital, demolished the temple and destroyed the Buddha along the way, burned the temple, forcibly ordered the men to return to the world, and each returned home.

"You, you don't respect the Dharma so much!"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you?! If you don't respect the Buddha, the Dharma, or the Sangha, you should go to the eighteen layers of hell, enjoy the suffering of Infernal Purgatory, live forever, and not be reborn!!! ”

One of the monks was pressed down, and looked angrily at the soldiers who had demolished the temple, and there were bursts of shouting and scolding, and cursed words erupted from the mouth of the elegant monk, which did not seem like the words of a monk, and then when the people found that several young women had been brought out of the dark room of the monk's pavilion, the monk's face turned pale.

"Slander, you are slandering!"

"You're slandering the Dharma! Slander! ”

The old monk recited sadly, bowed to the statue of Rulai, knelt down on his knees, and wept and wept for a long time: "My Buddha, my Buddha is like a Buddha, manifesting the Dharma, protecting the disciples and believers, so that this evil disciple should be retributed, and you should be retributed!! ”

His mournful voice echoed in all directions, and no one dared to scold.

Rumble!!!

In a terrible wind, the huge Buddha statue shattered into powder from the middle, and an arrow pierced into the depths.

The vultures trembled.

The old monk's pupils contracted suddenly, and the shattered gravel tore out wounds on his face, and blood flowed down.

Dead!

There was a dead silence!

In the boundless silence, everyone slowly turned around, and an iron horse slowly appeared, the tall war horse was covered with armor, and the man with the bow sat on the war horse wearing war armor and battle robes, and the war horse stepped on the ground step by step, which seemed to have stepped on the bottom of everyone's hearts, making them feel a little frightened in their hearts.

Then the war horse stopped, he pulled the reins of the war horse slightly, the war horse raised its pace, and actually trampled on the back of the monks who were lying on the ground, in order to force the soldiers not to enter the temple, accompanied by screams, blood, those monks who believed in their family and country to worship Buddha, these soldiers did not dare to move, and slowly did not move.

Step by step, blood is long.

The chaotic situation became dead and quiet, and everyone looked at the famous general who came on the blood-colored road like a nightmare, and Li Zhai, the leader of the soldiers, said lightly: "The Buddha is destroyed, where is the retribution?" ”

He rode on a majestic war horse and looked down on the monks coldly.

The old monk was like a sluggish body, his body suddenly trembled, and said, "You, you, the demon, Bo Xun, the demon king Bo Xun!" ”

Li Zhai walked forward indifferently, and the soldiers behind him bowed and saluted, "General, there are more than 30,000 monks in the temple, what should I do?" ”

The leader of the soldiers said lightly:

"Do not produce, exempt from taxes, and provide for all living beings."

"It's silverfish, feeding on the blood of the people of the country and the country."

"The temple is burned down, the monks return to the laity, and they are ordered to return home to serve their parents, and those who do not return to the laity will be killed."

"You!! Demon King Bo Xun, Demon King! In the midst of this burst of tragic shouting and scolding, the towering temple was set on fire, and the armor of Li Zhai, the leader of the soldiers, was reflected in the crimson sky, and his expression was indifferent, and he began this extremely fierce and domineering behavior in the eyes of later generations, but also extremely resolute.

[Qingjun side].

He looked at the distant heavens and thought about the past.

Li Weifeng, the king of Qin, Li Hui, the brother who had joined forces, and Qiong Yu, and the Taoist chief.

"Hmph, the world has changed greatly, the family and the country are in trouble, if there is really retribution, come to me!"

"Dao Chief, you and I will reunite in the capital!"

"Drive!"

The corners of Li Zhai's mouth hooked up a trace of cold arc, rode a war horse, and embarked on the legend of incomparably cold and domineering in this life.

……………………

The king is rarely brave, arrogant and arrogant, often fights with others, and every time he hurts someone, the people have resentment.

At the age of fifteen, he entered the border before the weak crown............

He was seventeen years old, and he was able to lead 100,000 troops to resist the enemy three hundred miles away.

Year twenty-two.

Knife in the forbidden.

In the twenty-third year, he crusaded against the four yi, transferred the military peak, and burned the temple to destroy the Buddha.

-for-tat with the emperor, the power shook the world.

At that time, the folk called the two emperors the same day.

The history is known as the [Mighty King], number-

[Wu Zong].
