Chapter 336: All sins are attributed to the poor monk(1/2)
Therefore, the feeling of uneasiness in Zhang Xianyong and Monk Bi Yanhaikuan could not be removed when they met Emperor Chongzhen.
Fortunately, one of the two people practiced Taoism for many years, and the other worshiped Buddha for many years. They were still a little calm, and they would not be rude.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the broad-body monk Bihanhai, who was fat and fat, and even smiled when he called himself a poor monk: "I see that the great monk is thick-body, fat, and he doesn't look like a poor person at all."
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen said that, Zhang Xianyong and Bi Yanhaikuan felt relieved.
Since Emperor Chongzhen said this is a joke, it means that the problem will not be too serious.
After calming down, the monk Kuanda of the other side of the sea first proclaimed a Buddha's name, and then worshiped: "Your Majesty is joking. I just spend my days with simple food every day, but I am a little more broad-minded. If I have a broad mind, I will be fat."
Emperor Chongzhen laughed, but did not take on this conversation again.
When I was a child, I thought that Shaolin Temple was the Taishan Beidou, the martial arts world. All the monks in it were enlightened monks, and they were all the masters in Shaolin Temple.
However, the news that later revealed that the consecration of the fallen women and the opening of BMWs at 8 am to 5 pm allowed Emperor Chongzhen to truly realize that even the monks who claimed to be pure in six senses were also some of them.
No wonder Su Dongpo wrote down the sunset and the fragrance faded, and the heart was gone; the fire was gone and the furnace was cold, so he came to lock the mind and horse.
Emperor Chongzhen still had a certain respect for the monk Kuanhai from the other side. After all, judging from the news from the Jinyi Guardian, this is a real Buddhist, and those messy problems cannot be found.
However, Emperor Chongzhen now will not change his view of Buddhism because the monk Kuanghai and the other side sea practiced Buddhism himself.
This thing is not as good as the Taoist sect's set.
The Taoist sect emphasizes loving faith and not believing, as long as you don’t disturb me in cultivating immortals.
But Buddhism is not right and always tries to persuade you to believe it.
The key is that it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, becoming a monk is fucking.
On the one hand, men and women become monks, who will give birth to children? I believe in Buddhism. How many generations of people in this country can afford to be a monk?
On the other hand, the bald donkeys in Buddhism have done a lot of things like lending and collecting rents.
There is no comparison where Huang Shirenqiang in the play.
After all, there was a character like Wang Chongyang from Quanzhen Sect in the bull's nose, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel a little impression.
As for Buddhism, haha.
Whether it was besieging Guangmingding or taking in Jiannu Fulin, Emperor Chongzhen could not have any good feelings for these bald donkeys.
Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen knew that things had to be viewed in two ways, and people were good and bad. Otherwise, in the future, it was probably possible that a tyrant would shoot a scene of a tyrant burning Shaolin Temple.
After calming down the god, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The reason why I ordered the two to enter the capital is that there is a major matter to discuss with you. After all, it is related to the Taoist sect and Buddhism, so we have to be cautious."
Zhang Xianyong and Bi Yan Haikuan both felt a slight slap in their hearts at the same time.
There are definitely not many things that can make Emperor Chongzhen so cautious when it comes to Buddhism and Taoism.
Maybe it is to change some policy-like things, and the impact will definitely not be small at that time.
Emperor Chongzhen ignored the two of them, but instead pointed to the four books on the table in front of him, and ordered: "Split it to Master Zhang Tian and the monk."
Wang Chengen bowed and handed the four books on the table to Zhang Xianyong and Bi Yan Haikuan respectively.
But as soon as the two of them took the book, their faces became strange.
"The Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West".
There are really not many people who don’t know about these two books in the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, many people may not know the names of these two books, but there are basically few people who are not sure about Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Sect Master, Randeng Taoist, Jade Emperor, Monkey, and Tang Monk.
Especially the story of Nezha cutting his flesh and replacing his mother with his bones and father, and the monkey making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace, which is even more exciting among the people.
But what does this have to do with Emperor Chongzhen bringing himself together?
Seeing that the two of them looked strange, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Both of them know God Haotian and the Jade Emperor?"
This matter obviously has nothing to do with other people's Buddhism. Could it be that the other side of the sea is the one who jumped out and said that it was the heavenly palace where the Buddha of Tathagata went to save the Buddha, so the Buddha of Tathagata is the most awesome?
The other side of the river, Haikuan, felt that he was not stupid enough.
The emperor of the Central Plains has always been respected as the emperor. The Buddha of the Western Tathagata went to save the lord next to the jade? Isn’t this funny?
Even the other side of the sea has to admit that in Journey to the West, Buddha Tathagata who went there after the Jade Emperor's talisman was just one of the five elders in the five directions, and he still had to listen to the Jade Emperor's orders to condemn him.
Zhang Xianyong bowed and said, "I told Your Majesty that there was God of Haotian and then the Jade Emperor. But to this day, the people have long been unable to distinguish who comes first and whom, and they even think that the two emperors are one."
Emperor Chongzhen said, "I know this too. There are so many immortals, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in our Taoist sects. Even in Journey to the West and the Romance of the Gods, there are many similar but completely different things. Therefore, I want to determine its origin."
Zhang Xianyong and Bihan Haikuan quietly exchanged glances.
Determine the origin? How to determine? To put it bluntly, isn’t it decided who is the eldest and the second, and who should obey whose management?
But Taoism and Buddhism are all two things, so it’s okay to say their own principles. If you force them together, who should you respect them then?
Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have not seen the two of them's small movements, but continued, "So, I wonder if I can unify it?"
At this time, Zhang Xianyong and Bi Yan Haikuan felt that the image of Emperor Chongzhen was so tall that he had even surpassed the First Emperor.
Qin Shihuang was just thinking about unifying the weights and measures of the six kingdoms. When you come to you, you will unify the gods and immortals?
After struggling for a while, Zhang Xianyong remembered that what Emperor Chongzhen had just mentioned was Taoism, not Buddhist Taoism.
Taoism and Buddha are the same as Buddha, but their status in the hearts of Emperor Chongzhen is thousands of miles apart.
Especially when the word "Buddha" and "Dao" sounds more casual than the word "Dao" and "Buddha".
This shows that Emperor Chongzhen is looking towards our Taoist sect in his heart!
In the spirit of not taking advantage of the bastard, Zhang Xianyong spoke before Monk Kuanhai, who also reacted, “Your Majesty is wise!”
The other side of Kuanhai originally wanted to do the contrary, but Zhang Xianyong had clearly expressed his agreement. What he could do now was to strive for the maximization of the benefits of Buddhism, otherwise he would be able to defeat the emperor's will and wait for the Shaolin Temple to burn?
Don’t think that only vultures dare to do this. When Xu Xianchun, who is known as the Living King of Hell in the Ming Dynasty, did such a thing, it is probably even more cruel than vultures.
Unexpectedly, the great monk Kuanhai, who was destroyed by Buddhism, had no choice but to bow and say, "Your Majesty is wise. Originally, there were a lot of gods and Buddhas in the heavens, and the professions were even more chaotic. If it were unified, there would be many benefits."
Zhang Xianyong continued: "I heard from Your Majesty that the gods and Buddhas of the heavens naturally regard the Three Pure Ones as the supreme emperor, but I don't know who is below him?"
Zhang Xianyong's words stumped Emperor Chongzhen.
According to Zhang Xianyong's words, the Jade Emperor and the Three Pure Ones are about the same level as the Three Pure Ones, but what about going down? Four Emperors? Six Emperors? Five Oriental Five Elders? Six Ding and Six Jia? Four Oriental Jie Di?
There are so many fucking things, it’s too messy, it doesn’t seem like it won’t work without being unified.
Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and found that it was the Ming Dynasty anyway. I changed the appearance of "Buddha is the Tao". At worst, I could copy all the prehistoric streams at the starting point. No matter how powerful you dreamed of Shenji and Dianniang were, could you still go to the Ming Dynasty to find me for any copyright fee?
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Let's talk slowly.
There is Hongmeng first and then there is Tian, and Pangu is even before Kaitian.
What do I mean is that Hongmeng first evolved into chaos, and Pangu and three thousand innate demon gods were born.
Pangu opened the sky and died, his essence and energy turned into the Three Pure Ones, his essence and blood turned into the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and his brain turned into the Jade Emperor.
Because of Pangu's legacy of the sky, all the demon gods and the three puritan ancestor witches were willing to obey the talisman of the Jade Emperor.
Among the innate demon gods, Nuwa created humans, Fuxi taught them to the world, and the three puritans each established their own religion and passed on the Taoist tradition.
It was only because after the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, after the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, there was no one available in the Heavenly Court, that the Three Sects and Three Merchants List of Gods.
It was only after the Western religion and the Three religions fought, that Lao Tzu went out of seclusion and turned Hu into Buddha, and then Western religion was changed to Buddhism.”
After talking nonsense for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen found that what he said was actually messy and basically incompetent. He couldn't help but feel sorry for not memorizing "The Buddha is the Tao" well, and by the way, he recited a few more masterpieces from the prehistoric world.
Now, I really feel that I have only a little regret when I use it.
After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen, who had just pointed to Duan Xiaorong who had been standing next to him and never spoke, said: "Zhang Tianshi and the great monk can discuss with Duan Xiaorong in a while. In short, we must sort it out so that the people can clearly know who the sacred worship is."
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen continued to add: "Also, the Jade Emperor is incarnated in thousands, and the God mentioned by the barbarians in the West is one of the incarnations of the Jade Emperor."
Only then did Zhang Xianyong and Bi Yan Haikuan understand what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.
It’s not for Buddhism or Taoism, but for the Western God.
But Western missionaries come to preach, and there seems to be no big problem, right? They didn't say anything that forced people to believe or not, nor did they do anything about rape and robbery. Compared with the White Lotus Sect, it is like a pure white lotus light?
However, regardless of whether His Majesty the Emperor was disliked by the Western barbarians, he still turned into Buddha with a whim or simply prepared for the future attack on the Western barbarians, this matter is a good thing for both Buddhist and Taoist schools.
What can’t be done with good things? Especially for monks from the other side of the sea, even if Taoism takes advantage of it, it is much better than Western barbarians.
After Zhang Xianyong and Bi Yan Haikuan looked at each other, they bowed together to answer.
But he was not careful that Emperor Chongzhen suddenly coughed his throat and continued, "Also, I was born with the order of heaven, so I naturally wanted to unify the eight desolates and six worlds. Anyone who sacrificed his life for the country could naturally choose to be reincarnated as a wealthy family or to go to heaven to serve as a heavenly soldier and general, or to enter the Western Lingshan to listen to Buddhism and become a guardian arhat.
Also, those who embezzle and abuse the law but do not want to do things for the people and do not want to repent will inevitably have eighteen levels of hell waiting for them after death.”
Emperor Chongzhen said these words without blushing, but Zhang Xianyong and Bi Yan Haikuan both turned red.
Both of them wanted to ask, Your Majesty, why are you so shameless?
Emperor Chongzhen's approach was clearly intended to push Emperor Chongzhen himself to a supreme position to bear the orders of heaven. All gods and Buddhas in the heavens should give face, and the king of hell in the underworld should also obey Emperor Chongzhen's instructions.
If this is not supreme enough, what else do you want? Directly deify it into the Heavenly Emperor and descend to earth?
It hurts even if you think about it.
The broad sea on the other side could no longer bear it, so he simply bowed and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Your Majesty's words are wrong.
I, a Buddhist, guides people to be good, fight on the battlefield, and kill people like numb, so how can I enter the Lingshan Pure Master?"
To be continued...
