Chapter 771: Dharma King
Li Dongyang knew that this left hundreds of civil and military officials, and what was solemnly discussed was not only the trivial matter of rewarding a few royal temples and letting Shaolin monks join the army. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, he didn't say much about Shaolin before, until he talked about this, he didn't know the point, and immediately said: "I don't know where this other side is sacred, and I ask Your Majesty to explain, and the ministers are also thinking about how to reward!"
"It's the high monk of Wusizang, and the Dharma King of Dajue is also!" This matter pressed on Zilong's heart for a long time, when Zilong was broken by Xuanyuan, he drew out the magic power in his body, and almost fell into the devil.
Fortunately, the Dharma King Dajue was present, and he did not hesitate to use his own Buddha power that he had cultivated for decades, with the help of Shaolin monks, to give up his life, save Zilong, and wash his whole body of magic power, and then pass on his Buddha power to Zilong.
Since then, Zilong's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, not to mention, even with these decades of pure Buddha power to protect his body, it is already difficult to go crazy again.
Therefore, in Zilong's heart, he has always felt that he owes the Great Awakening Dharma King, and wants to find an opportunity to repay this noble Buddhist master to comfort his soul in the sky!
Time flies, Zilong became the emperor, and he thought of how to repay the Dharma King Dajue for the first time, so he took advantage of Liu Jin's incident to bring out the Dharma King Dajue!
It's just that Li Dongyang and the others, who have ever heard of such a Dharma King, and participated in the action that night, are all at a loss.
Yang Yiqing was even more straightforward, and was about to say that there was no such Great Awakening Dharma King that night, and wanted to ask Zilong if he was mistaken.
But he didn't say it yet, but he saw Zilong's eyes again, and suddenly understood Zilong's thoughts, this Great Jue Dharma King, Xu is a person who is kind to Zilong, not kind to Zhengde.
At that moment, he also said that he changed his words, and said: "Your Majesty, since you want to reward this Great Awakening Dharma King, why don't you invite him to the main hall and discuss it together, what do you think?"
He didn't know who the Great Awakening Dharma King was, so he went to meet this Great Awakening Dharma King, wanting to see who could help Zilong, an almost invincible master in the world, who was sacred.
It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, Zilong's face turned pale, showing a look of arrogance, and he said in a heavy tone: "Hey, I also want the master to come to the palace, so that I can thank him well! But in order to save me, the master not only exhausted his life's penance cultivation, but even buried his life! Therefore, he could not be present, but I have to repay him well!"
Zhou You over there will also come to his senses, and immediately folded his hands, proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said loudly: "Amitabha, what Your Majesty said is very true, if it wasn't for the presence of the Dharma King, I'm afraid that things will be in danger!"
Li Dongyang was also wondering, who is this Great Awakening Dharma King, as soon as Yang Yiqing opened his mouth, he also understood, and immediately said: "Since it is a great merit to save the driver, then naturally we must reward it well! Why don't you issue an edict to the living Buddha of Uszang, and order him to publicize the merits of the Great Awakening Dharma King in Uszang, so that all the people of Uszang will worship him, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
This kind of reward is really no less than letting the Dharma King of Dajue ascend to the sky in Wusizang, and since then, the incense has been continuous, but the scenery is really tight, and Li Dongyang's suggestion is not bad.
But Zilong didn't want to thank the Dharma King Dajue so simply and hastily, but he thought about it for a while, and then shook his head and said, "Xiya Gong's suggestion is not bad, but such a simple thank you is far from enough to express my gratitude to the Dharma King Dajue. ”
"Oh?" Li Dongyang also knew, Zilong was a very assertive person, seeing that he didn't agree, he also asked directly, "Then I don't know what Your Majesty's plans are, say it, we who are courtiers can also refer to it for Your Majesty!"
"There are indeed some immature ideas!" Zilong's eyes lit up and said slowly, "When I rewarded Shaolin Temple before, I once said that the favorite thing for people in Buddhism is to promote Buddhism, yes and no, Master Zhou You!"
"My Buddhism only saves people who are destined to promote Buddhism, and it is also for the world to be peaceful, which is true!" Zhou You first explained, and then said in agreement.
"Well, no matter what the reason is, in short, the Buddhism wants to do this, but it's not wrong!" Zilong said, "Since the Shaolin Temple can expand the place of preaching and preaching through the several royal temples I have given me, then I also think that the tantric sect where the Great Awakening Dharma King is located can also be carried forward to my Central Plains, what do you think?"
"This ......" Li Dongyang groaned for a while when he heard this, and then stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "It's not impossible, I pay the most attention to the fate of the law in China, and this Buddhism is too! In this case, Tantra is transmitted to the Central Plains, and it is not indispensable! The old minister can talk to the Tantric Living Buddha, and let him be ready to send people to the Central Plains to promote Tantric Buddhism!"
"Okay!" Zilong saw that Li Dongyang, the first assistant, took the lead in agreeing, and he was quite satisfied at the moment, and continued, "This is good! It's just not enough!"
"Not enough?" Yang Tinghe was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"
"Zen Buddhism led by Shaolin was introduced to our Middle Earth during the Ming Emperor of the Han Dynasty, but it was not until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that it gradually flourished, and it took no less than hundreds of years during the period!" Zilong gave an example and said, "Therefore, if you just let the Tantric Living Buddha send people to preach in the Central Plains, I am afraid that if you give them a hundred years, this Tantric Buddhism may not be able to make any progress!"
"Your Majesty!" Yang Tinghe raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "This preaching matter is a civil matter, and our court is only afraid of interfering too much! What's more, if we are too careful, not only will it not necessarily be effective, but it will be a little unpleasant?"
"What's not good?" Zilong is very sure about anti-corruption and Hui people's tax rates, so he said it in front, but he is not very sure about this last one.
After all, it is not an overnight task to let Tantric Buddhism preach. Ke Zilong thought of the compassion of the Great Awakening Dharma King, and he longed for this tantric Buddhism to be carried forward as soon as possible, so it was rare to be stubborn.
At that moment, he also refuted Yang Tinghe like this, choked Yang Tinghe, and without waiting for him to reply, he continued: "The Great Awakening Dharma King saved me, so I helped him promote the Tantric Buddhism, is this still wrong?"
"No...... That's not what the minister meant......" Yang Tinghe was also embarrassed when he heard it, and immediately waved his hand and said.
"Lord Yang doesn't need to be like this, I also know that you don't mean that!" Zilong didn't want Yang Tinghe to be too embarrassed, and immediately continued, "But I have made up my mind, this Tantric Buddhism is to be promoted, then the court must come forward to cooperate, and whoever is willing to join the Tantric Sect as a lama monk will also have some corresponding rewards from the court!"
"......" Yang Tinghe still wanted to object, but he also saw that Zilong was stubborn, he was afraid that he would be able to stop it, so he could only smile bitterly at the moment, and spread his hands to Li Dongyang with a wry smile.
Li Dongyang is also helpless, since he has pushed Zilong as the emperor, and has won the trust of the legitimate emperor Zhengde, plus Zilong is Zhengde's younger brother and the second son of Hongzhi, then in law, he is his own king.
Successive emperors have actually done a lot of ridiculous and foolish things, and Zilong's starting point is to repay his kindness, but he has to spend part of the financial funds to promote Tantric Buddhism, which is not unacceptable.
At that moment, Li Dongyang also smiled helplessly, and then said loudly: "Since Your Majesty has decided to do so, then the ministers can only follow it! It's just that the ministers still hope that Your Majesty can think twice......
The original meaning of this sentence is actually to say that he, Li Dongyang, has replaced the cabinet and many ministers, and agreed to such a somewhat absurd request from Zilong, but at the same time, he also hopes that Zilong will not do more ridiculous things.
But Zilong was a little uneasy at this time, misunderstood Li Dongyang's meaning, and thought that Li Dongyang was against himself. At that moment, his face turned pale, he stood up, and said, "Well, I have thought clearly! For the sake of the promotion of this tantric Buddhism, I have decided to crown myself as the King of Daqing to show my determination......
"Huh?" The ministers thought that this was just an emperor's absurd behavior in order to repay his kindness, but in the end, the emperor suddenly absurdly wanted to add a tantric name to himself, which made the ministers, including Li Dongyang and others, Gao Feng and others, and even Zhou You, Xu Zixiong, Ouyang Jin, etc., all dumbfounded.
Out of misunderstanding, Zilong gave himself the title of such a nondescript Daqing Dharma King, but the entire court was silent, and it was almost audible to drop a pin!
After a long time, the ministers reacted, and Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing and other Qingliu civil officials, needless to say, all knelt down under the collapse and asked the king to take back his fate.
Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, was also shocked, and led many admirals and generals to come forward and ask His Majesty the Emperor not to be too hasty.
Not to mention Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and other inner court attendants, they also wept bitterly and prostrate around the imperial case, hoping that His Majesty would be sympathetic to the request of hundreds of officials.
It was Ouyang Jin, Monk Zhou You, and Xu Zixiong, who also walked out at this time and bowed to the side, although they didn't say much, but they obviously didn't approve of Zilong.
For a while, except for the palace guards on duty in the main hall, the rest of the people actually came forward to oppose Zilong's almost absurd will.
Zilong just wanted to repay the life-saving grace of the Great Awakening Dharma King, and wanted to let the soul of the Great Awakening Dharma in heaven get a little comfort, so he did not hesitate to go against the will of the people and vigorously promote this tantric Buddhism.
But now not only the courtiers oppose it, but even Ouyang Jin, Monk Zhou You, and Xu Zixiong, who are close to him, are all opposed, but it also makes Zilong wonder!
Could it be that his own decision was really a bit hasty, so that not only the courtiers were against it, but even these three people close to him who were also brothers and friends were also against it?
