The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 1171

Maitreya Buddha was slightly startled, and faintly discovered the original intention of Buddhism, and seemed to have a clear understanding of his own practice, and he couldn't help being overjoyed.

We must know that the principles of all things in the universe are constantly developing and advancing. Even Buddhism and Taoism are constantly pursuing the ultimate truth of enlightenment. Even great people like Maitreya Buddha and those who have fully awakened must continue to understand the truth.

Today, the enlightenment of the Buddhas in Lingshan is still in the "profound prajna, one-line samadhi, and whoever recites the Buddha" as to how to spread the Dharma.

It took Xuanzang to learn the scriptures, and after going through ups and downs, but after ascending in front of the palace, the Buddhas gradually realized the truth of "no form as the body, no abiding as the foundation, and no thought as the sect" when teaching the Dharma.

At this time, Chang Tingzi seemed to believe it or not, and asked, "How do you count as having no Buddha? How do you know the method of Zen practice?"

Chen Zhao said with a chuckle: "Here, there is neither Buddha nor Dharma. The Tathagata is an old bastard, the Bodhisattva of the tenth stage is a dung-carrying man, and the second enlightenment is an ordinary person who breaks precepts. Bodhi Nirvana is tied to a donkey prong. Splitting the teachings is like a ghost book."

Chang Tingzi was slightly taken aback, "Why is Your Majesty being so rude to my Buddha?"

Although he said so, there was not much sense of blame in his tone, and he seemed to understand Chen Zhao's words, but he was not very clear.

Chen Zhao continued: "When Sakyamuni was born, he pointed to the sky with one hand and pointed to the ground with the other. He walked seven steps in a circle and looked at the clouds in all directions. In the sky and the world, I am the only one. If I saw it at that time, I would beat him with a stick and eat him with a dog. Peaceful."

Chang Tingzi's body shook, his face showed joy and distress, and he seemed to understand Chen Zhao's words, but he always seemed to be a little behind.

Seeing this, Chen Zhao sighed: "Everything that has a picture is false!"

When he said this, the distressed expression on the face of the monk on the opposite side suddenly disappeared, and the color of joy rose immediately. He patted his belly lightly, laughed loudly, and said in gatha: "A big belly can tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world." ;Laugh often, laughing at the ridiculous people in the world."

Chen Zhao laughed loudly, and held his hand slightly to Chang Tingzi: "Congratulations to the Buddha for making another step."

Chang Tingzi was smiling all over his face, with his chest exposed and his belly exposed. He sat on a futon with a charming smile. He ignored Chen Zhao, and recited a poem in his mouth: "I want to cross the emperor to enter the Buddha's fate, but when I look up, I see the pagoda tops the sky. Backward turns out to be forward.”

After reading the doggerel, he laughed and clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Yes! That's what happened! Go to rest! Go to rest!"

He didn't return the salute, but Chen Zhao did, "Buddha is being polite!"

After saying that, Chen Zhao turned around and left the tower.

On the second day, Chang Tingzi left Jinghuang Temple, clapped his hands and sang, and went west without a trace.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was the same as that of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China. Although Zen Buddhism emerged, it was still very different from the Sinicized Zen of later generations.

As far as China is concerned, until the sixth patriarch Huineng, the Buddhists scolded the Buddha and scolded the ancestors, pursuing the true nature, so that the body and mind are at ease, freed from the great bondage, enlightened to see the nature, enlightened and liberated.

Although the Buddhas on Lingshan Mountain have profound Dharma, they are still in the state of practicing diligently to teach the Dharma and enlightenment. What Chen Zhao said to the mortal body of Maitreya Buddha were two famous crazy words in the Kuang Zen Koan of later generations. These are not crazy words of a madman Crazy words, but the "breakthrough" aphorisms of the Buddhist Mind School that get rid of inherent prejudices.

Remind the world: all appearances are illusory, even if they are classic Buddha statues, saints or sages, they all belong to birth and death, which is not the normal and truthful way.

After Maitreya Buddha attained enlightenment, he immediately understood that Chen Zhao's Buddhist principles were profound, and he was not a demon to destroy the Buddha. However, his Buddhist principles could establish a sect in Buddhism and be called the ancestor of Taoism. Just one sentence is enough to correct the Buddha position.

At this point, he has already stood shoulder to shoulder with Patriarch Bodhi, Zhen Yuanzi and other great sages in the immortal world who are hidden in Hezhou, Xiniu. If you see him outside the Buddha, you will be able to show the true meaning of the Buddha.

After the holy monk Chang Tingzi left, Jinghuang Temple seemed to lose everyone's protection immediately.

Especially in this monastery, whitewashing the golden Buddha was a waste of money. The eyes only see the splendor of the Buddhist hall, but they lack the compassionate heart of the Buddha. They only worship the Buddha and do not seek themselves. It is to get rid of the sea of ​​suffering and enter into extinction. This external thing is worse than nothing.

As soon as Chang Tingzi left, the great fortune shrouded in Jinghuang Temple dissipated immediately. Although many monks in Jingfo Temple made friends with powerful people, and even a few old monks often chatted and laughed with the Supreme King, it was not difficult for Chen Zhao to deal with it.

Chen Zhao returned to the palace, and with one order, there was no more resistance to the matter of taking back the land of the Buddhist Temple, which had been a bit stalemate.

In the name of "Buddhist disciples with great compassion, the victims of the Ming Dynasty disaster are in urgent need of help", Chen Zhao took out as much as [-]% of the money in the treasury of the Buddhist temple for ten years to use as military supplies.

The dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty immediately understood what the emperor meant, which one was really friendly to Buddhism, and there was no time to hide at this time.

Therefore, the government at all levels mobilized everywhere to search the properties of the temples under their rule, and the treasury of the Ming Dynasty immediately issued a sum of money.

A year has passed since all the temples in the Ming Dynasty were dealt with, [-]% of the monks were rehabilitated, and the law that all religious places must pay taxes according to law was enforced.

At this time, the wedding team of Princess Huainan escorted by Tang Jiangxia King Li Daozong arrived in Zhuzi City.Chen Zhao received Li Daozong and his party with the most solemn etiquette, and then married Li Chengxia, the eldest princess of Huainan according to Tang etiquette, and named her the empress of Jinsheng Palace.

It turned out that after King Xiniu Hezhou, they were all called the main palace, the east palace, and the west palace.In Daming, the main palace was called Jinsheng Palace, the east palace was called Yusheng Palace, and the west palace was called Yinsheng Palace.

Now Jinsheng Palace is Li Chengxia, the eldest princess of Tang Huainan, while Yinsheng Palace and Yusheng Palace are the daughters of nobles in their own country.

This Jinsheng Palace Li Chengxia was born noble, beautiful and generous, virtuous and virtuous. In the Daming Palace, she is almost as good as his emperor's sister-in-law, the eldest grandson, the Empress. Although Chen Zhao married her because of a political marriage, after a long time, she treated him With admiration, I love it even more.

Time passed slowly. On this day, at the Avalokitesvara Dojo on Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea, on this day, I don’t know if the dragon girl was negligent, or the God who guarded the mountain was so dizzy that she threw an elixir in front of Avalokitesvara’s mount Jin Maoyu...

It has to be said that compared to the Ming Dynasty, which relied purely on force for unification, the civilization of the Tang Dynasty in China was more advanced and prosperous.

This time the eldest princess of Huainan entered Daming for marriage, and brought an extremely generous "dowry". In addition to various treasures and gold and jade ornaments, there were [-] volumes of various classics, [-] works on construction and technology, and five Hundreds of prescriptions for curing diseases, ten medical treatises, fifteen diagnostic methods, and ten medical devices. In addition, they brought a large number of seeds of various crops.

But these only account for a small part of it.

In order to completely sinicize Daming, so that he can be famous through the ages, Li Shimin held back Chen Zhao Beixiang's hands and feet so that he could calmly launch an attack on the Northern Silk Road, and arranged the population of Daming in the name of dowry. original capital.

There are 1 agricultural technicians of various types, 1 artisans of various types, and 5000 scribes and officials of various types. In addition to the sergeants, maids and related family members who serve the eldest princess of Huainan, there are as many as 4 people.

With these talents and equipment, advanced production technology was brought to Daming, which promoted the development and progress of Daming's economy and culture.The agricultural technicians sowed the grain seeds brought from Datang on the fertile soil of the plateau, and then carefully irrigated, fertilized, and weeded. The harvest and high yield brought about great progress in the agricultural production technology of Daming.

Especially after the technology of planting mulberry and sericulture was passed on to the local residents of the Ming Dynasty, Daming also gradually produced self-made silk fabrics with soft luster and rich colors.Datang’s milling, weaving, pottery, papermaking, wine making and other crafts were successively passed on to Ming Dynasty, which greatly improved the life of Tubo people.

The scribes of the Tang Dynasty helped organize the relevant documents of the Ming Dynasty and taught ministers and noble children to learn advanced Han culture.

After Chen Zhao showed great determination to Sinicize and took the lead in wearing silk, the nobles and common people at all levels in the Ming Dynasty began to accept and absorb the Tang culture.

In order to better sinicize the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zhao even sent nearly [-] noble children, and carefully selected [-] ordinary people's children, and subsidized them to study Tang Guoxue in Chang'an with public funds.

The poems, agricultural books, Buddhist scriptures, history books, medical books, calendars and other classics brought by the eldest princess of Huainan promoted the economic and cultural development of Tubo.

Because of the interaction between Chen Zhao and Li Shimin, Tang and Ming never went to war for more than 200 years, envoys and businessmen had frequent exchanges, and the relationship between the Central Plains and Daming was extremely friendly.

More than 100 years later, although the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty belonged to two countries, their cultures and bloodlines were almost the same. The Ming people even regarded themselves as Chinese and regarded other countries in Hezhou, Xiniu as barbarians. According to folklore, beautiful and moving poems are created to praise the outstanding contribution made by the eldest princess of Huainan to the development of Ming Dynasty:

The eldest princess of Huainan from the Central Plains,

brought [-] kinds of food,

It laid a solid foundation for the Daming Grain Depot,

The eldest princess of Huainan from the Central Plains,

There are 500 craftsmen bringing various craftsmanship,

It opened the door to the development of Daming crafts,

The eldest princess of Huainan from the Central Plains,

Bringing [-] literary classics,

Make Daming's poems and tunes to a higher level.

……

Of course, this is something.

It is said that three years after Princess Huainan married, Daming's economy has continuously stepped up to several levels, and Daming has also become the richest and most powerful country in Hezhou, Xiniu.

Of course, Buddhism in this country is not prosperous.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Chen Zhao took several concubines and concubines to untie rice dumplings and insert moxa, drink calamus realgar wine, and watch dragon boat fights under the Hailiu Pavilion in the imperial garden.

Suddenly, a gust of black wind blew, and the whole palace suddenly became dark.

"What's going on, why is it getting dark?" Jin Shenggong Li Chengxia was slightly startled, and couldn't help but said.

"Maybe it's the weather changing, it must pass in a while." Chen Zhao didn't care.

"The sky suddenly changed in broad daylight, so there won't be any monsters appearing?" the silver saint palace lady said in panic.

"Sister's words are so ridiculous, Your Majesty is so brave and powerful, where are the monsters who dare to make trouble?" Jade Sacred Palace pursed its lips and smiled.

As soon as Yinshenggong said something, she knew she had said the wrong thing. She blushed, looked at Chen Zhao, and was about to explain softly, when suddenly a piercing laughter came from mid-air.
