Chapter 309: Ding Guifei visits Bodhidharma
"Your concubine, the slave maid heard that Master Bodhidharma has come to our Liang country!" The maid Xiaoding said.
"Really? Venerable Bodhidharma is the number one Buddhist master in South India! Ding Guifei smiled.
". Right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes to bring Master Bodhidharma into the palace. But ......," said the maid Xiaoding.
"But what?" Ding Guifei asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to Master Bodhidharma that he needs to be punished in the palace to enter the palace to preach the scriptures!" The maid Xiaoding's face began to turn crimson!
"Uh...... Castration? Not really, right? Did His Majesty really say that? Ding Guifei was also a little embarrassed.
"No! His Majesty did not say! However, if Master Bodhidharma goes to the palace to give a lecture. For the sake of the reputation of the palace concubines, this is still needed! The maid Xiaoding said.
She thought to herself: What to do? If Master Bodhidharma really accepts the palace punishment, I'm afraid that the people of our Liang Kingdom will be criticized!
"Actually, Your Majesty is not unkind! It's a big deal to let Master Bodhidharma not enter the inner palace! Ding Guifei said.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty has always been suspicious, I'm afraid things are not so simple!" The maid Xiaoding said.
"If Your Majesty really let Bodhidharma accept the palace punishment. But it's troublesome! Venerable Bodhidharma is really talented! If you are punished by the palace! The reputation of our Liang Kingdom is not good! Ding Guifei said worriedly.
"Niangniang, don't worry! I'm afraid Master Bodhidharma won't be punished by the palace in order to go to the palace to preach the scriptures! The maid Xiao Ding smiled!
"That's hard to say! Venerable Bodhidharma can even give up the throne for the sake of purifying sentient beings! For such a person, I am afraid that life and death will be put out of the way. Not to mention the palace punishment? Ding Guifei said worriedly.
"Why don't you believe that Master Bodhidharma will be like this?" The maid Xiaoding said.
"I can't tell! In order to preach, Master Bodhidharma may not have done anything out of the ordinary! Ding Guifei cried.
"So what to do?" The maid Xiaoding said.
"This palace thinks that I can only go to meet Master Bodhidharma!" Venerable Bodhidharma said.
"Really? But Niangniang, does Your Majesty allow you to go out of the palace casually? The maid Xiaoding said.
Ding Guifei remembered the rumors about Bodhidharma: "Uncle, why do you want to go to Dongtu to preach? The people of the East are deceitful and good at vertical and horizontal arts. Said the King of Dissent.
"That's why I'm going to Daliang to preach! In this way, the people of Liang can be converted to Buddhism. Bodhidharma said.
"However, the Emperor of the Liang State is a monarch who killed the monarch and usurped the throne." Said the King of Dissent.
"It is precisely because of this that I need to educate the Emperor of Liang. I hope he can follow Buddhism 3 times and promote Buddhism! Venerable Bodhidharma said.
"Buddhism also depends on people! That Xiao Yan was cruel and murderous, and slaughtered the clan relatives of the Qi State of the previous dynasty. He's not a benevolent gentleman. Said the King of Dissent.
"Our Indian Emperor Ashoka also killed ninety-nine brothers in order to seize the throne. He fought in the east and west, destroyed countless countries, and shed rivers of blood! Eventually, didn't he also convert to Buddhism? Venerable Bodhidharma said.
"Uncle, Ashoka also unified India, the hegemony is over, and he only believed in Buddhism in his later years! However, China has not yet been reunified. Wei and Liang have been fighting for many years, and Xiao Yan can't be sincere to Buddha! Said the King of Dissent.
He thought to himself: If my uncle goes to Dongtuliang Kingdom, I'm afraid he won't be able to return!
But his nephew couldn't persuade him!
Bodhidharma continued: "The Emperor of Liang is not a great traitor, he is a saint."
The King of Dissent continued: "Uncle, since the widow cannot persuade you. Then leave yourself to fend for yourself! ”
Soon after, Venerable Bodhidharma traveled to Guangzhou by boat.
He thought to himself: Emperor Liang is a famous Bodhisattva Emperor. He will definitely be able to promote the Dharma and benefit all sentient beings!
At the same time, Xiao Yan, the emperor of Liang in Jiankang City, also received a letter of state from the dissident king of South India.
"Great!" Xiao Yan suddenly laughed.
"What makes the royal brother so happy?" Xiao Hong said.
"Master Bodhidharma is coming to our Liang Kingdom!" Xiao Yan said.
"Really? I also heard that Venerable Bodhidharma was a saint. Xiao Hong said.
"If Master Bodhidharma can come to our Liang country. That's the luck of the world! The Buddhists of Wei will also prostrate at the feet of the Buddhists of Liang! Xiao Yan said.
He thought to himself: Our Liang Kingdom will definitely be able to unify the world!
Xiao Hong thought to himself: If Master Bodhidharma comes, we will be in Liangguo. Your Majesty must always be accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern. In that case, I will be able to control the government! Ha ha......
"Yes! The Dharma is boundless. It will definitely help our Liang Kingdom to dominate the world! Xiao Hong said.
Xiao Hong remembered the past:
"Your Majesty, Bodhidharma was originally called Bodhidora!" Xiao Hong said.
"Bodhidora! I heard that it turned out to be the third son of the king of South Indian incense. Strength is outstanding! It is said that he could have inherited the throne! Xiao Yan said.
"Yes, this is just like Sakyamuni back then, who gave up the throne and was willing to be a foot monk!" Xiao Hong said.
"I don't understand! Why is Bodhidharma like this? Aren't you tired? Xiao Yan asked.
"Your Majesty, everyone has their own ambitions!" Xiao Hong said.
Xiao Hong began to mention the past:
"Your Majesty! The concubine had already discovered that something was wrong with Xiao Hong! Ruan Lingying said.
"Really? Xiao Hong is good, and he is reliable. can be on his own, he is a talent! Why do you think something is wrong with him? Is there a festival between you? Xiao Yan asked.
"No! However, the concubine always felt that Xiao Hong had a problem! Has His Majesty trusted him too much? Xiao Hong's ability is indeed outstanding! But he seized the people's land. Dominate the market. How can such a person be entrusted with such a task? Ruan Lingying said.
"No, a cat that catches mice is a good cat. As for whether cats will steal your fish, it doesn't matter! Xiao Yan said.
"Really? But what if the cat did not hesitate to steal the owner's gold bar? Ruan Lingying asked.
"What do you mean? O concubine. Do you think Xiao Hong is greedy for money? Or is it something else? Xiao Yan asked.
"Xiao Hong is treacherous and loyal. He has long coveted the Jiangshan Sheji of our Great Liang Country. He has always wanted to get the world! Ruan Lingying said.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: Ruan Ling won! This is something that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know! But why would you want to say it?
It's obvious!
Many people see through it and don't say it! Why are you so real?
"What you say is not unreasonable. I also know that we can't fully trust our clan relatives. After all, everyone in the world is ambitious! No one will be without ambition! Xiao Yan said.
He thought to himself: What to do? What should Xiao Hong do?
"Your Majesty, the concubine has already mastered conclusive evidence, which is enough to prove that Xiao Hong is a spy of the Wei State!" Ruan Lingying said.
When Xiao Yan heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.
He thought to himself: How is that possible? Whoever is a spy can't be him! He's my own brother!
Why did he have to betray me? Could it be that Wei gave him any benefits?
"Really? What proof do you have? Xiao Yan asked.
His face had turned gloomy.
Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead!
