144 Eventually become a royal brother
Although he saw that Taiwei pushed Li Shimin down, Jiang Liu did not stop him, first, Li Shimin really needed to go back as soon as possible, and second, he also wanted to let Li Shimin know that although he was an emperor, he was only a mortal, and even the Taiwei in hell could not buy his account, and Jiang Liu, as an immortal, had even more reason not to put him.

Because Jiang Liu made arrangements before going to the underworld, and Li Shimin did not enter the underworld for a very long time, the most important thing is that everyone is very confident that Jiang Liu can save Li Shimin, so when Jiang Liu entered the main hall, there was no such thing as imagined that the ministers in Journey to the West let the prince ascend the throne, but everyone was waiting for Li Shimin to return to the yang.
"Master, how is it, can Your Majesty return the yang?" After seeing Jiang Liu appear, everyone immediately asked.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty will wake up soon!"
Although people thought that Jiang Liu could save Li Shimin, after listening to Jiang Liu's answer, everyone was still extremely excited, some people cried with joy, some people cheered loudly, and at this moment, they heard Li Shimin on the bed say, "I can suffocate me", and then sobered up.
Jiang Liu saw that Li Shimin woke up, and felt that there should be nothing for him here, so he wanted to go back quickly, because he really didn't like the palace very much, and staying here made him feel more or less depressed.
But how could Li Shimin let him go so easily, this trip to hell, Li Shimin knew it thoroughly, and his identity as an emperor was not enough for people in the other world. If people want to buy his account, he has no way at all. But Jiang Liu is different, not only is he highly skilled, but all his family members are working under him, he can completely envelop Jiang Liu, making Jiang Liu his helper in another world.
And Jiang Liu is a person who cultivates immortals, Li Shimin really has no way to win over Jiang Liu except for rewarding his family, but only rewarding Jiang Liu's family, Li Shimin feels that it is not enough, so he thinks about it, and he thinks of worshipping Jiang Liu as a brother.
"How can this be done, you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the poor monk is just a monk, how can you worship His Majesty?" Although Jiang Liu wants the identity of the imperial brother very much, the necessary modesty is still necessary.
"The master has saved the people and the queen many times, and this time he personally accompanied the people into the underworld, and the people have nothing to repay, so they can only think of this is not a solution, and please don't shirk the master!"
"Yes, master, don't shirk!" the queen and the princes also persuaded after listening to Li Shimin's words.
"No, no, no, the poor monk is a monk, and he doesn't want to provoke Hongchen karma anymore, so he can't bow to His Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty!" In order to maintain the image of a master, Jiang Liu of course couldn't agree after saying it twice, as if he was very rare or something, so he resigned again.
Seeing that Jiang Liu just didn't agree, Li Shimin was in a hurry, Jiang Liu was his only hope now, which was related to whether he could still be free in another world, so he had to envelop Jiang Liu no matter what, the more Jiang Liu didn't agree, the more serious his mood became, so he said: "Master, the people of the world want to worship the master out of sincerity, do you really want the people to kneel down and ask each other, and the master will agree?"
After listening to Li Shimin's words, although he didn't know why Li Shimin had to bow to Jiang Liu, everyone knew Li Shimin's determination, so the prince and the civil and military officials in the main hall all knelt on the ground for a while, asking Jiang Liu to agree to Li Shimin's request.
"Hey, what's the trouble? Forget it, let's get up, the poor monk just agrees!" Jiang Liu felt that the matter was almost like this, and it would be over if he resigned, so he took this opportunity to go down the steps and agreed to Li Shimin's request to bow down.
"Isn't it just a sworn worship, why is it so complicated, but fortunately it's done, if it goes on like this, I can't hold on!" Although Jiang Liu knew that Li Shimin's sworn worship with himself was just pretending, so that he could take the opportunity to get closer to him, after all, his own brothers had killed two of them, let alone this kind of sworn brother. But the ceremony of bowing to the emperor is very solemn, because this is a matter related to the royal face, and it must not be sloppy, so Jiang Liu also had to be patient and completed a series of complex rituals.
"Brother Yu, now that we have become brothers, we are all our own people, you can tell me, who are the people who brought me to the underworld this time, and what are their purposes?" After completing the ceremony, Li Shimin took Jiang Liu back to the main hall with his hand, and couldn't wait to ask Jiang Liu on the way.
"Brother Huang, I really don't know what got you to the underworld, but their purpose should be to let you hold that water and land puja!" Although Jiang Liu will not directly say the Buddha Gate, it is still necessary to take the opportunity to give the Buddha Gate some "eye medicine".
"Oh, the water and land puja needs a senior monk to preach the scriptures, it seems that the people of Buddhism do these things?" After getting Jiang Liu's prompt, Li Shimin figured out the truth of the matter in a blink of an eye.
"I don't know about this, but I think that the water and land festival does not necessarily have to invite all monks, Taoist priests can also surpass the evil ghosts, if the royal brother really wants to open this festival, you might as well invite the people of Buddhism and Taoism, let them work together, even if there is some conspiracy here, the other party will also minimize the harm, and the last beneficiary will definitely be the imperial brother!"
"Brother Yu, this is a good idea, although I promised Judge Cui to hold a water and land puja, but I didn't say that all the monks would do this, and now I have brought in the Daomen, so that the Buddha and the Tao will fight, I can benefit from it, it is really a good idea!" Li Shimin, as the emperor, is well aware of the importance of balance, so he is extremely in favor of Jiang Liu's proposal.
"Of course you think this is a good idea, all the good things have caught up with you, if you are not satisfied, then is there any heavenly reason?!" Although Jiang Liu was slanderous about Li Shimin's words, he was extremely satisfied with the many troubles that had been added to the Buddhist sect.
If you want to spread the west to the east and start a journey to the west, so that Buddhism is dominant in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism must first build momentum and create an incomparably powerful and omnipotent appearance of Buddhism, and then you can take advantage of the situation to let the river learn from the scriptures, so that the Tang Dynasty can pay attention to Buddhism from top to bottom, so that Buddhism can grow rapidly in Datang.
And Buddhism wants to build momentum, and the water and land puja will help Li Shimin surpass the evil ghosts in hell, which is the best of both worlds. Because the water and land festival can not only change all kinds of bad things in the past, but also teach the world to be good, so that Li Shimin's descendants will last forever, so the Buddhism is very relieved, with their understanding of Li Shimin, Li Shimin is aware that there is a conspiracy in it, but in the face of such a big temptation, he also had to open this festival, but now with Jiang Liu's reminder, Li Shimin will also involve the Daomen in this festival, so that there are infinite variables in it, which is also unexpected by Buddhism.
