Chapter 670: Intercepting the dispute between the Buddha and the world--- sealing Zen
The good name is eternal, and the benevolence and filial piety will be passed on forever!
The prince poured out his heart to save his father, filial piety moved the sky, lost his heart and did not die, shook the world, all the people returned to their hearts, all countries came to the dynasty, the prince's status in the Tang Dynasty rose sharply, and some people even wrote a letter asking Li Zhi to abdicate and make way for Xian, and give up the throne to the emperor.
Just like Wu Cao thought, the son of the Nine Grades of Golden Lotus, the supreme treasure of Buddhism, was put into medicine, and Li Zhi was instantly cured of those stubborn diseases, and after his illness, Li Zhi returned to charge of the government and took back the power of the court from Wu Cao.
After so many years, although Wu Cao still favors the harem, there is no king who does not desire power, there was no way to be in poor health before, but now that he is in good health, Li Zhi naturally wants to take back the right, even if that person is the woman he loves the most.
The golden lotus seed has a miraculous effect, which makes today's Li Zhi refreshed and energetic, and he does not feel difficult to deal with national affairs at all. But what gave Li Zhi a headache was not his beautiful and moving queen with a strong desire for power, but the good son who was virtuous all over the world and touched the heart of heaven with filial piety.
Thinking of Li Xian, Li Zhi had a very complicated mood. He didn't know the cause and effect, he only knew that he could save his father with his heart, and Li Zhi was very moved whenever he thought of it. But because of his heart to save his father, the prince's name not only spread in the Tang Dynasty, but also spread to foreign countries. Nowadays, there are old Confucians who write every day, asking Li Zhi to abdicate and make way for Xian.
According to the Tang Law, no matter what an elderly person over the age of 70 does, it is not considered a crime, it is rape, and he cannot be imprisoned with torture. And these old Confucians, even more amazing, all of them are famous Confucians, not to mention books, even if they put up an anti-flag and rebel, Li Zhi can't do anything about them. And not only can they not be killed, but they also have to issue an edict to prove their own mistakes. To be able to force such an old Confucian to rebel, doesn't it mean that your king is mediocre?
If it is now the year of the ancient Jiajia, no one needs to persuade him, Li Zhi will pass on the throne to that filial son. But now he is in the prime of life. Just abdicate and make way for Xian, how did you get it?
The prince is the most difficult to do, he can't be mediocre, and he can't be too virtuous. If you are mediocre, you will be deposed. If you are too virtuous, you will be jealous of the king. The current Li Xian, that is, the fierce one, is on such a fire pit.
In the Taiji Palace, Li Zhi threw aside the book of Chen Tang, a great Confucian in the South China Sea, and snorted coldly. Get up and walk out of the Taiji Hall and walk towards the Wucao Palace. When Chen Tang wrote the book, he persuaded himself to abdicate and make way for Xian, which made Li Zhi more and more annoyed.
Coming to the gate of Wu Cao Palace, looking at the welcoming Wu Cao, Li Zhi's heart warmed, and he wanted to entrust the power of the court to her when he was sick, and he would be well when he was sick. took back the power, but Wu Cao never complained, and she deserved to be a woman known as a virtuous queen.
The queen and the crown prince are all famous all over the world, but Li Zhi has never been jealous of Wu Cao in his heart. Because even Li Zhi didn't believe it. In this world, there will be a matter of the chicken.
Entering the palace with Wu Cao, Li Zhi pulled Wu Cao to sit down, and ordered the palace maids to retreat, the most noble couple in the world said intimate words in the palace.
Seeing that Li Zhi's eyebrows were annoyed. Wu Cao was overjoyed in his heart, "What the teacher said is right, Buddhism has cured His Majesty's illness." It's not a good thing for the relentless. ”
Standing up behind Li Zhi, Wu Cao gently rubbed his temples for him, and said softly: "There are only concubines and majesty here, what is there to worry about, it is better to talk to the concubine." ”
"Hey......" Li Zhi sighed lightly and reached out to hold Wu Cao's hand, "It's still Mei Niang's best." ”
Wu Cao smiled slightly and stopped Li Zhi's neck, "Your Majesty is worried about the prince's affairs?"
"Mei Niang still knows me. Li Zhi's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he said that there would always be someone in the book these days, asking him to abdicate and let the virtuous thing talk to Wu Cao.
Although he had known it for a long time, Wu Cao looked like he didn't know it, and after listening to Li Zhi's detailed explanation, he thought about it before saying: "The prince is affectionate and filial, and there will be no big rebellion." According to the concubines, this matter is being fueled by someone behind the scenes, bad for His Majesty, the prince's father and son, and want to mess with my Tang Dynasty!"
When Li Zhi heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "What does Mei Niang mean by this?"
Wu Cao said: "The concubine is brave, dare to ask Your Majesty if you still remember the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism during the reign of Gaozu?"
"You mean...... Li Zhi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he understood what Wu Cao meant. Gaozu is Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. During Li Yuan's reign, there was a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. At that time, Buddhism helped Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, and Daomen helped Gaozu Li Yuan, and finally Li Shimin ascended the throne through the change of Xuanwu Gate, respected Li Yuan as the emperor, and invited him to enter the Taiji Palace, until he died. With Wu Cao's meaning, the current dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is rising again, and it is Li Zhi who helps the door, and Li Xian is supported by the Buddhism.
Li Zhi didn't know that the Daomen at this time was different from the Daomen of that year, and the Daomen of that year were headed by Yuan Shoucheng, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng, all of whom were under the Yuqing Sect. And now the Taoist gate in the world is dominated by the three gates of Wudang, Zhongnan and Emei. Li Zhi didn't know this, but in his heart, the Daomen was facing him, otherwise there were monsters in Chang'an City back then, how could the Wudang Mountain Mitian Daojun help. This time, he sent his disciple Hong Yazi to come to Chang'an to see his illness.
And the Buddhist gate is facing Li Xian, and Li Zhi can also see that not only Li Xian, but also the Buddhist gate was facing Li Hong before, and after Li Hong was abolished, he was facing Li Xian. Thinking about the last battle between Buddhism and Taoism, Li Zhi couldn't help but shudder, but he was afraid that the change of the Xuanwu Gate would be staged on his father and son.
The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that Wu Cao's words made more sense, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. It is said that the ruthless emperor's family, but no matter how ruthless it is, there is also flesh and blood affection, Li Zhi pulled Wu Cao to sit down beside him, and discussed with her: "Mei Niang, if it is really the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, how can it be good?"
Wu Cao was secretly happy in his heart, but there was a dignified look on his face, "Hey...... This matter is a bit tricky, the prince is the flesh and blood of His Majesty and his concubines, and he must not let Buddhism get in the way. Speaking of this, Wu Cao paused and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a plan, which can stabilize my Tang Dynasty." ”
"Mei Niang, hurry up. ”
"Can you know how to drive the tiger and devour the wolf?"
"Mei Niang means ......" Li Zhi was not stupid, he instantly understood what Wu Cao meant, pulled Wu Cao into his arms, and said happily: "Mei Niang is really a female Zhuge in the middle!"
The next day, Li Zhidang issued an order to serve Wudang Mountain Mitian Daojun as the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, and on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, he went to Wudang Mountain to seal Zen.
It is enshrined as "sacrificing to the sky", and Zen is "sacrificing to the ground". Whenever there is peace and prosperity or auspiciousness from the sky, the emperor will go out of the palace to seal Zen. But since ancient times, the emperors have been in Mount Tai, but Li Zhi chose Wudang Mountain in the place of Zen.
Since the rule of Taizong Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty has prospered, the political affairs are accessible, and the people are getting richer day by day, which can indeed be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous era. And the Mitian Immortal Zun Chang'an subdued the demon, and the prince poured out his heart to save his father, which can also be called the word "auspicious". There is nothing wrong with sealing Zen. However, Li Zhi wanted to replace the place of Zen from Mount Tai, which was the first in the world, to Wudang Mountain, but it attracted heated discussions.
Some wrote against it, some wrote to support it, and for a time the Manchu Dynasty was divided into two, and the quarrel was fierce. Since Gaozu, Datang has not been convicted of speech. For those who oppose it, Li Zhi can't do anything to them, and can only hope that the side that agrees to go to Wudang Mountain to seal Zen can win.
At this moment, Buddhism ceased to work. The emperor came to seal Zen in person, which is a great thing in the world, which is amazing. If Li Zhi goes to Mount Tai to seal Zen according to the rules, then it will be fine, there is nothing to fight for. But now Li Zhi wants to go to Wudang Mountain to seal Zen, but it has attracted the dissatisfaction of Buddhism. In their opinion, since Li Zhi can go to Wudang Mountain, then he can go to Zhongyue Songshan to seal Zen. On the magnificence of mountains and rivers, Songshan Mountain is no worse than Wudang Mountain. Songshan Shaolin is a holy place for Buddhism, when he helped Emperor Taizong defeat Wang Shichong, Li Zhi as a son of man, how should he choose Songshan and abandon Wudang. In this way, the monk Ming'an, the abbot of the Tang Dynasty's royal archmage, entered the palace to see the driver, and strongly asked Li Zhi to go to Songshan to seal Zen.
If Buddhism does not do this, Li Zhi may change his holy will and change the location of the Zen seal back to Mount Tai. But as soon as Buddhism made such a fuss, Li Zhi remembered Wu Cao's words, and this time he went to Wudang Mountain to seal Zen, just to support the interception of religion and suppress Buddhism. If you go to Songshan to seal Zen, wouldn't it be the opposite of the north?
Unlike Gaozu and Taizong, Li Zhi is not a king immediately, and his personality is not so strong. But this morning, in the face of the civil and military forces who were in constant dispute, Li Zhi was furious and reprimanded those civil and military ministers who asked to go to Mount Tai and Songshan to seal Zen. After scolding, Li Zhi threw off his sleeves and left, and went back to the palace.
Li Zhi was angry, and all the officials knew the thoughts of the emperor's majesty, and there were upright ministers in the court, and there were also people who were reluctant to camp.
Xu Jingzong, one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Wangfu in the past, can also be regarded as a veteran of the Three Dynasties. This person is very good at drilling camps, and he is good at figuring out the emperor's mind. Seeing that Li Zhi wanted to go to Wudang Mountain to seal Zen, he not only strongly supported it, but also wooed his colleagues in the court and China, and wrote together to approve Li Zhi to go to Wudang Mountain to seal Zen.
For a time, the party in the imperial court that was in favor of going to Wudang Mountain to seal Zen prevailed, Li Zhi pushed the boat down the river and gave a holy decree, and on April 20, Luan drove out of Chang'an, and on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, he sealed Zen in Wudang Mountain.
West Niuhe Zhou, Lingshan.
In front of the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the two saints sat side by side, and Amitabha Buddha looked at the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother who kept pinching his fingers and calculating, and couldn't help shaking his head with a bitter face.
In the middle of the sound, Zhun Ti Buddha Mother stopped calculating, frowned and said: "My Buddha Sect treats the Tang King, why does the Tang King still have such a big vigilance against my Buddha Gate?" He is different from Chen Jiugong, who has been a human being in two lifetimes, this saint is a congenital soul, and he has been high above since he was born, and he does not understand the ways of the mortal world at all. In his opinion, Buddhism treats Li with golden lotus seeds, and Li Zhi is not grateful to Dade, so why is it not good for Buddhism everywhere?
Zhun Ti Buddha Mother couldn't figure it out, Amitabha Buddha couldn't figure it out, I saw him shake his head slightly, "Senior brother, be careful! This robbery of my Buddhism is very prosperous, but it is under the Heavenly Dao, and now that Chen Jiugong is no longer a Heavenly Dao saint, I am afraid that he will make a hindrance from it and spoil my Buddhism's luck." Speaking of this, the white light in Amitabha's eyes flowed, and he said the calculated heavenly machine: "My Buddhism and the sect are in the world, when there are three battles, and the three battles will determine the emperor! The first battle will be in Wudang Mountain!" (to be continued......
