Chapter 604: The Discussion of the Capital
Dadu, in a palace.
Hearing the news brought by the lamas in the palace, Kublai Khan was so frightened that he suddenly stood up and paced a few steps before shouting to the lamas: "You said that the emperor was killed by Fang Zhixing, and then he also escaped?"
When several lamas who came to report the news saw this, they were all trembling, and one of them reluctantly said, "Yes...... Your Majesty, Emperor...... Emperor ......"
"How did the emperor pass away, tell me quickly!" Kublai Khan interrupted him and asked. As the emperor canonized by the Great Yuan, the sudden death of Ba Si Pa was not only a big loss to the imperial court, but also a slap in the face of Kublai Khan, so how could he not be angry with the city mad god list.
After several years of unifying the north and the south, Kublai Khan's majesty became deeper and deeper, and several lamas, even if they were outsiders, were all masters of martial arts, but they were inevitably intimidated by it, and it took a long time to intermittently tell the story of the death of Pasipa in fits. On that day, Ba Si Pa and Yue Fang Xing were fighting, and although the Dharma Protector King Kong did not disturb Fang Zhixing due to Ba Sipa's previous instructions, they were already planning to capture Zhang Junbao as a backhand. Unexpectedly, before a few people started to move, they saw Ba Si Pa suddenly rainbow away, and Fang Zhixing also came to his senses, so their plan was naturally stillborn. Finally, Fang Zhixing received the favor of Phags-pa in the spiritual world, and did not embarrass them, so he let these people take the relics of Phags-pa and return to Sakya Monastery, and sent most of these people to report the results.
"How is that possible...... How could it be ......," Kublai Khan muttered. In his heart, Phag-pa has always been supernatural, and he has twice enlightened himself, and he can be called a living Buddha in the world. And Fang Zhixing is a martial artist, he is a true background but does not abide by the rules, he is not much worse in comparison, how can he defeat the emperor, it is really hard for him to believe.
"Does the emperor have anything else to say?" After a while, Kublai Khan came back from his thoughts, looked at the appearance of several people who wanted to speak and stopped, and asked.
"Emperor...... The emperor once said that if something happened to him, His Majesty could ...... Can be crowned as a national teacher!" Seeing that Kublai Khan was a little kinder, a lama said.
Kublai Khan said, and then said: "The emperor who killed me still wants to be a national teacher, but he is quite thoughtful!" He turned to an attendant and said, "Go, go to Jiangnan and ask Fan Wenhu if the ships for the expedition against the Japanese have been built." Tell him that when he's done, turn south and prepare to conquer Liuqiu!"
"Yes, Great Khan!" the attendant took the order and went to deliver the order to Fan Wenhu. Although several lamas wanted to dissuade him because of Paspa's last order, they were afraid of Kublai Khan's majesty and did not dare to say more. The matter of the conquest was settled.
Even so, Kublai Khan was still angry, pointing at a lama and saying, "The day before yesterday, I ordered people to burn the apocryphal scriptures of the Quanzhen Religion, what is happening now? Go, ask Master Bile to come and report. ”
When the lama heard this, he immediately took the order and left. It wasn't long before he came in with another lama, who was none other than Paspa's disciple, Guru Tsangpa, who was in charge of overseeing the burning of the scriptures by the Quanzhen Sect.
After learning that Fang Zhixing defeated Pa Si Pa and caused his death, he hated Fang Zhixing and the Quanzhen Sect from which he was born, and when he saw Kublai Khan, he said: "Your Majesty, the Taoist scriptures, but the Tao Te Ching is written by Lao Tzu himself, and the rest are forged by later generations, so it should be burned." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the temple was shocked, knowing that if Kublai Khan really implemented this policy, not only the Quanzhen Sect, but also the Zhengyi Sect and other Taoist sects would definitely rise up against it. At that moment, someone dissuaded: "Your Majesty, there are quite a few posterity commentaries in the Taoist scriptures, which should not be called forgeries. ”
This sounds reasonable, but at this time, Kublai Khan's mind was full of hatred and offended anger, and he ignored it, saying, "It is better to burn it...... Okay, I'll leave this matter to the master!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said Master Bile excitedly. On behalf of Buddhism such as Taoism and Tantra, the Quanzhen Sect debated several times, although it suffered many setbacks, but never suffered major losses.
However, at this time, Kublai Khan had gradually calmed down, and he seemed to remember something, adding: "The master can first collect evidence in secret, and when General Fan's fleet sets out, it can be officially played." ”
"Yes!" replied the master of gall, and withdrew excitedly with several lamas. With Kublai Khan's support, he already had a plan in mind at this time, and when he returned, he could contact the personnel to officially write a letter when Fan Wenhu set out on the expedition, requesting that all Taoist scriptures except the Tao Te Ching be burned, so that Tantra could achieve a complete victory.
However, although Master Bibli's idea is good, Fan Wenhu's side went wrong, he was ordered by Kublai Khan, originally in the shipbuilding to conquer the Japanese country, but Kublai Khan's order, it was changed to a conquest of Liuqiu. As a result, many places naturally have to re-prepare. Seeing that the ship was not completed and the route to Liuqiu was not clear, Fan Wenhu had to write to Kublai Khan, asking for a delay in time and changing the time to the following year. In this way, the matter had to be postponed for the time being. (To be continued)
