Chapter 309: Empress Wu of Zhou
Ren Qinglian guessed correctly, the object of the peacock's fetus was the future Empress Wu Zhou. And all this is indeed the painstaking calculation of Buddhism.
Wu Meiniang's life is extraordinary, and Datang is not a master who is not proficient in the art of fate, and earlier there were Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng and others from Qin Tianjian who jointly signed a letter and told Li Shimin about it. It's just that this Tang Taizong is eloquent, but after hearing about this incident, he didn't think so, and even specially instructed the internal officials to select Wu Meiniang into the palace during the draft, and sealed a "talented person".
Men conquer women by conquering the world, at this time the country is prosperous, as a male lord who opens up the territory, Li Shimin can naturally suppress Wu Meiniang's life, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, since Wu Meiniang became Li Shimin's talent, it has gradually become a little obscure. What surprised Yuan Tiangang and others even more was that Wu Meiniang's life seemed to have begun to change at that time.
Li Shimin heard about this from several high-ranking people and was very proud. But I don't know that this Wu Meiniang is not Wu Meiniang, the male peacock has merit, and he is a descendant of the phoenix, and Wu Meiniang's life is integrated, complementing each other, the emperor's appearance has been completed, and now he is dormant, just to get up better. Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that the male peacock is still struggling that he has turned into a woman, but no matter what, Jin Lin is not a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm! In the future, when Li Shimin dies, this empress will eventually rise strongly.
But the Journey to the West has been carried out smoothly, why does Buddhism still have to take this step? Ren Qinglian shook her head, and suddenly thought of the Louguan Dao in Chang'an, as if she suddenly understood something.
After the gods, the original in the southern province of the continent had a great influence on the sect of interception, although the teachings won, but because Manjushri and others abandoned the way into the Buddha, the people in the sect panicked, the Yuan Shi Tianzun was too busy to take care of himself, had to temporarily give up the plan to take the sect and replace it. The Human Sect was not affected, but there was only one Xuandu Archmage under the Taiqing Sage, and he wanted to take over the belief vacuum left by the Sect, but he was unable to do it.
Although Lao Jun later incarnated as Li Er and passed down his own Taoism in this southern Ganbu Continent, the human race after being reborn from the ashes has also begun a new round of great prosperity, and various ideas and schools have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and hundreds of schools of thought have contended.
During this period, because of the agreement between the Sanqing and the two sages of the West, Lao Jun had to give up his plan to meddle in the development of Taoism. And he inherited the Taoism, after several developments, evolution, only in the Eastern Han Dynasty to create a relatively complete sect, through the development of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, was listed as Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism of the first three religions, social status began to improve significantly, the three Qing Dynasty various temples began to be built one after another, the most representative of which is the momentum of the Louguan Road.
Although the Tang Emperor Li Shimin began to practice Buddhism after being calculated by Buddhism to travel to the underworld, he built a water and land conference with great fanfare, and selected senior monks to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, but don't forget, when Li Tang was called emperor, he claimed that his ancestor was Laozi Li Er, although he supported the journey to the west to learn scriptures, but the status of Taoism, as long as the empire is still their Li family, for the time being, will not be shaken.
In this case, Buddhism had to support a person of its own to further expand the fruits of the scriptures, and better facilitate the spread of Buddhism to the east, so there was this scene of peacock life, Mei Niang dormant scene, and the future Wuzhou Empire!
Ren Qinglian was able to figure out the relationship in a very short period of time, and he still had to rely on his historical common sense from later generations. In the history of his previous life, Wu Meiniang, as a childless concubine, was assigned to Ganye Temple as a nun, and began to secretly send Qiubo with Gaozong Li Zhi, if she began to become a devout believer in Buddhism at that time, Ren Qinglian did not believe it, after all, Buddhism pays attention to purity, if this Wu Meiniang was devout and believed in Buddhism at that time, she would not have gotten to eye with Li Zhimei. However, when she was later in charge of the national movement, the empress began to suppress the Buddha and promote the Buddha, no matter what the considerations were, this is an indisputable fact.
The historical development of this world naturally cannot copy the 5,000-year Chinese history of the previous life, after all, not to mention anything else, in the twenty-five years of Zhenguan in history, Tang Taizong has been dead for two years, and in this world, Xuanzang has just arrived at Lion Camel Ridge, and there are still more than two years before he returns to the east. But the trajectory of many things will not change, after all, Li Shimin is just a mortal after all, once he dies, in this Li Tang Dynasty, no one can suppress the peacock, Wu Meiniang's rise can be said to be inevitable, but in this, mixed with the background of the immortal Buddha, it becomes even more confusing.
"It's a bit interesting, I originally thought that after the end of the Journey to the West, there would be nothing worth paying attention to in this southern Ganbu Continent, but I didn't expect there to be such a thing! In this way, it seems that in the future, the fall of Wuzhou should be the result of the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism! After all, the influence of Taoism is deep-rooted, and it is rare for Buddhism to support a Wuzhou Empire to enjoy the national fortune for more than ten years...... In this way, the occurrence of these stories of White Snake and Daoji can be explained, it must be that Buddhism is unwilling, and from time to time make some movements to improve his influence in the human race...... "In muttering, in order to better understand the memory of the peacock princess, Ren Qinglian has pointed her finger at the other party's eyebrows at some point, and her mind shuttles through the other party's world of knowledge without any scruples!
At this moment, the Dapeng Demon King and the Monkey with their own cold faces turned back to the Lion Camel City from Lingshan, although the two did not look at each other, but they had a tacit understanding, and they both came to the Peacock Princess for the first time.
Ren Qinglian's brain was opened, linking history with the development of this mythical world, exerting his imagination, speculating whether those stories that were familiar in the previous life would really happen in this world, from the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, the Legend of the White Snake, the Legend of Jigong, and the Legend of Jigong, all the way to Pu Songling's Strange Tales of Liaozhai, unconsciously, he had used the power of future deduction, peeling off the cocoon, like a child who had discovered a new world, some indulged in it, unable to extricate himself.
But he pointed his finger at the eyebrows of the peacock princess, and the princess stared at Xuanzang with a helpless and shy face, but Xuanzang shrank under the table with a frightened face.
The Dapeng Demon King naturally remembers this human being, the peacock princess is the same as the male peacock, they are very envious of the life of the human race, and even in this lion camel city, there are some human races, maids, teachers, and musicians specially captured by the Dapeng Demon King from nearby...... And whenever the future Prince Charming is mentioned, the Peacock Princess will also describe the image as a fair-looking Terran man. The scene in front of him made the Dapeng Demon King think of what he had been worried about, that is, one day, his little padded jacket was captured by a hateful Terran youth...... Of course, in Dapeng's opinion, Ren Qinglian was obviously even more despicable, and he didn't know what evil trick he had used, stunned his little padded jacket, and was about to use his hands and feet!
How could such a despicable person spare his life! Thinking of the hatred, the Dapeng Demon King couldn't hold back any longer, and roared angrily, and the "hum" of the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand gushed out an immeasurable light, enveloping Ren Qinglian. This light shines on the heavens and the earth, and seems to engulf everything.
