The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 1195 Li Shimin wants to live the same life as the world

On the surface, the Journey to the West Project has been a perfect success.

But Chen Zhao's sudden appearance changed everything.

Between the Tang Dynasty and Lingshan, he established a powerful country covering thousands of miles. This country is not only rich and strong, but also pays attention to the introduction of advanced oriental culture. At the same time, it has established a rigorous intellectual (science) system.

Although Taoism is strong in this country, Buddhism also occupies a sufficient share.

A poet once praised: "There are 480 temples in the Ming Dynasty, and there are so many towers in the mist."

It is enough to show the strength of Buddhism.

But all of this has nothing to do with Lingshan.

No matter how prosperous the incense in the Buddhist temples of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many people worshiped, and no matter how pious their beliefs, the Buddha Chen Zhao was worshiped.

Those who worshiped were also many monks who passed on the scriptures of Chen Zhao and proved themselves Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat.

Lingshan can't feel it at all, and can't enjoy it.

If so, the World Honored One will also recognize it.

After all, Chen Zhao is the supreme being in the world, the country is unparalleled, the people are prosperous and upward, and the power of Buddhism is not weaker than Lingshan.

Even with the risk of splitting, Lingshan Buddhism may not be able to do better than Ming Dynasty Buddhism.

So Tathagata had no choice but to swallow this breath.

However, the uncontrollable behavior of Tang monks and apprentices made Tathagata feel the danger of splitting between the Buddhism of the Western Heaven and the Buddhism of the Eastern Land.

That Tang Sanzang was originally the most exquisite Dharma selected among the 10,000+ monks in the Tang Dynasty. If he was conferred by the Tathagata Buddha after he finished learning the scriptures, and each of them was given the attainment of enlightenment, then the Buddhism of the West Heaven will be of great importance to the Tang Dynasty in the East. The leadership role of Buddhism will be further deepened.

The degree of participation of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in it made the Buddhist sect of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land almost under the control of Lingshan in the Western Heaven.

However, due to Kassapa and Ananda's request for personnel, the five masters and disciples saw the wordless scriptures and became Buddhas themselves, which caused Lingshan's control over Dongtu Buddhism to gradually weaken.

Although Tang Sanzang's body is Rahula, the son of the Buddha Sakyamuni, it doesn't mean anything.

When it comes to a battle of ideas and a power struggle, the blood relationship between father and son is simply not worth mentioning.

Throughout the ages, due to the struggle of ideas and power, there have been endless scenes of father and son fighting each other.

Tang Sanzang's sworn elder brother is a good example of killing his brothers and imprisoning his father to gain power.

Especially above the Mahavira Hall, in the face of the Buddha's downplaying of "asking for personnel", this Rahula directly said, "We have no personnel, can you fax the scriptures?" before.

The chief culprits of all this are the two venerables Kasyapa and Ananda, who are being suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain next to Lingshan Mountain.

And the masters of these two are none other than the World-Honored One!

Therefore, after the news spread to the Three Realms, everyone believed that the person most responsible for the anticlimactic Journey to the West was the Tathagata.

As for what would Amitabha, the ancestor of all Buddhas in the Asura realm, think?
Of course he would be indifferent.

Because whether it is the Buddhist world of Central Earth, Western Heaven, or the Buddhist world of Daming, devout worshipers will always say "Namo Amitabha Buddha."

So the World Honored Tathagata's pleading guilty, he will not care at all.

It was only after seeing this that he pleaded guilty to Amitabha Buddha.

Ran Deng and Maitreya naturally have nothing to say about the politicians' various responses.After all, the Tathagata is the Buddha and the World Honored One. Although one of them is the Buddha of the past and the other is the Buddha of the future, neither of them has any binding force on the Buddha of the present.

Maitreya Buddha watched the disappearance of the World Honored One under the bodhi tree, and suddenly sighed and said in a verse:

"My heart is the Buddha. He is the most spiritual being in the world of the ten directions.

Poor students with wonderful use of vertical and horizontal.Everything is not as real as the heart.

Teng Teng is free to do nothing.Leisurely become a monk after all.

If you see the present true avenue.It's amazing not to see any traces.

What is the difference in ten thousand laws, what is the difference in heart.He Lao used to find the meaning of the scriptures.

The King of Heart knows a lot by himself.A wise man only understands without learning.

Unholy and extraordinary.Do not separate the holy love alone.

The priceless heart bead is round and pure.All out of phases call out in vain.

Human beings are able to broaden their morality.Boundless praise.

Carry Xiruo to the homeland road.Don't worry about not hearing anything. "

The burning lamp ancient Buddha glanced at Maitreya, knowing that he had plans to go down to the world of mortals, he just smiled slightly at this and said nothing.

……

When the Tang monk and his disciples rode the wind and clouds and returned to Datang, they were suddenly surprised to find that the territory of the Tang Dynasty had expanded to Xiliang.

The entire Northern Silk Road has fallen into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, the territories of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty intersected, firmly occupying most of Nanzhan Buzhou and one-third of Xiniu Hezhou. In this vast land, hundreds of millions of people lived, and this Hundreds of millions of people all believe in Chinese culture.

Their country is rich and the people are strong, the army is powerful, and the culture is developed. They are the heavenly kingdoms in the hearts of all nations in the world.

What's even more rare is that these two countries are still brothers' countries. The emperors of the two sides are sworn brothers, and there are only a few thousand troops on the border between each other.

In fact, Tang Wang Li Shimin even dared to kill his own brother. How could he care about this sworn brother?
In fact, he had seen Chen Zhao's heroic appearance making trouble in the underworld, and the way he subdued the king of Hades in the underworld.

If it weren't for the help of this "righteous brother", he didn't know that he could only be emperor for a few years.

With the force of oppression from his "adopted brother", the King of Hell allowed him to enjoy the throne for 40 years. This allowed him to maintain brotherhood with the Ming Dynasty and at the same time, he was ambitious and intended to create a "prosperous age of Zhenguan".

When I die at the age of 68, my son's age, body and energy will be in the prime of life, and he will just take over.

Therefore, Li Shimin destroyed Goryeo in the east, defeated Xueyantuo in the north, and conquered Tuyuhun, Baoxiang Kingdom, Wuji Kingdom, Chechi Kingdom, and Xiliang Kingdom all the way west. The country was completely sinicized into the land of the Tang Dynasty.

Because Li Shimin realized that if the Tang Dynasty only destroyed the country and did not conquer it with civilization, after a hundred years, these countries would fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the bamboo basket will be empty.

And Chen Zhao's main energy is also on governing the country.

So in the 28th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty and the 15th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, after Li Shimin personally led the army to break through the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, he moved all the officials of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, including the king and Taishi, to the east, scattered them in the state capitals of the Tang Dynasty, and betrothed them to all levels. officials.

And the Queen of Xiliang, who had a deep love for "Brother Yu", committed suicide in anger because she was forced to take her as a concubine by Hou Junji.

In the end, it disappeared silently into the long river of history.

At this time, Chen Zhao asked the Bull Demon King to extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain forever, commanded an army of three thousand, crossed the Flame Mountain for [-] miles, and hunted here with the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

"I didn't expect this world to be so vast, so big that I almost lost my confidence!"

He said so, but his face was full of confidence.

Li Shimin is 56 years old, but the years of fighting in his youth, coupled with the maintenance of the destiny of the underworld, have kept his body at its peak and his energy is still very strong.

Even he himself knows that he still has at least 12 years of brilliant career.

Because of the map of the Northern Silk Road sent by Chen Zhao, Li Shimin arranged carefully, and every battle was a lion fighting a rabbit, so he was able to wipe out countless countries in succession, and also made the Uighurs, Xue Yantuo and other ministries in the north respect and fear him.

Therefore, although it took 16 years to conquer the Northern Silk Road, his conquest was a complete conquest, and the number of local Han people already had an absolute advantage.

"Yeah, this world is huge, and under the control of my brother, Datang's influence has quickly spread to Xiaoban Xiniu Hezhou!"

Chen Zhao said with a light smile: "Your Majesty can say that there is one emperor for thousands of years, even the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. The dynasty is prosperous and prosperous. I hope the Tang Dynasty can continue to be so brilliant!"

Nowadays, not only the four major continents, but also distant Persia, Dashi, and Daqin all know the name of Tang Emperor Li Shimin like thunder, and know that he is the Mingjun of the prosperous age.

"My dear brother, although I am the emperor of the world, I have also heard about your status in the fairy world. It is said that even the Tathagata Buddha would not dare to teach the Dharma here. It can be seen that you are powerful and far-sighted, so I have something to ask for advice."

"Brother, please tell me."

"Since my virtuous brother just mentioned the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns, I want to know, after I die, can I live the same life as the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns?"

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors relied on their contributions to the human race and their great reputation. After their meritorious deeds were consummated, they would all be famous in Huoyun Cave.
Li Shimin is naturally one of them, especially as he gets older, he yearns for longevity even more.It’s just that he is more sensible, knowing that the emperor’s desire for longevity is basically useless. In ancient times, how many Ming emperors could not guarantee longevity, didn’t they just seek longevity, and made the government turbulent and the people’s livelihood chaotic?
But there are too many legends about this virtuous brother in front of him, and Li Shimin saw Chen Zhao's uproar in the underworld with his own eyes, so he naturally had such doubts and wanted to ask for advice in person.

"Brother really has great ambitions, so let me tell you, I want to live the same life as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, yes!" Chen Zhao said with a smile.

The reason why the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors can live the same life as the heaven and the earth is that they have established great meritorious deeds, and they have a very high status in the hearts of the Chinese people, so they can obtain the qualification to shine with the sun and the moon by virtue of their meritorious deeds.

"I...understand!"

Hearing Chen Zhao's analysis, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
