Chapter 118 Houtu admires Yang Jian very much!(2/2)
In fact, it is hard to say whether Guanyin’s careful planning of Journey to the West is in the back of her idea of undermining Tathagata.
And if she really had this idea, fame would become a weapon!
What is the importance of fame?
The key is to say no to anyone, that is, to veto it.
The key is that one sentence can determine the fate of countless people and turn the world upside down.
The key is that it can reconstruct the relationship between power, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.
Having said that, he and Houtu did not have such concerns.
Houtu doesn’t have to worry about surpassing the other party in fame.
And I don’t have to worry about the grinding and killing the donkey.
Just like now, he is sure that Houtu will not agree to Buddhism entering the underworld, nor will he allow others to shake his status...
Tathagata probably knew this very well, so he had only one final choice!
Thinking of this, Qin Yao stood at the door and looked up at the sky.
If the Jade Emperor issued an order and conferred evil intentions on Ksitigarbha as Ksitigarbha King, how should he turn bad things into good things?
At this moment, the Emperor of Fengdu fell into deep thought...
Eighteen days later.
Another uninvited guest came into the Snow God Cave, and the golden light illuminated the dim cave.
"Greetings to the Empress." Qin Yao bowed with a smile.
"What happened."
Houtu said seriously: "The Tathagata reached an agreement with the Heavenly Court. The Jade Emperor appointed Ksitigarbha as the King of Ksitigarbha in the Underworld, and served as the Lord of Ksitigarbha to save all living beings in hell. Ksitigarbha made great wishes for this, that hell will not be empty, and hell will not be a Buddha."
Qin Yao said: "What does Empress mean?"
"I plan to drive him out." Houtu said dissatisfiedly: "The Jade Emperor obviously has an old problem and always takes the title of the common ruler of the three realms seriously."
Qin Yao shook his head: "Tathagata's attitude towards this matter is very firm. If the Empress does this, it will be equivalent to forcing him into the Jade Emperor's camp."
Houtu frowned and said, "Isn't he just joining the Jade Emperor now?"
"If he had this intention, he wouldn't come to you and me first."
Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "He comes to us first, and then to the Jade Emperor. It is clear that this is just a mutual use between him and the Jade Emperor, and he doesn't want to break up completely with us."
Looking at his rational and calm appearance, Houtu gradually calmed down and asked, "What do you think?"
Qin Yao smiled: "Accepting Ksitigarbha, but limiting the Buddhist thoughts he spread.
Ideas that are in line with bilateral interests can be disseminated, but those that are not in line with them will not be disseminated.
This practice will not intensify the Tathagata and will not affect our rule.
On the contrary, if used well, Di Ksitigarbha will become the cornerstone of our rule..."
China's long history means that nothing new in the world, and most questions can be answered from history.
For example, what Dong Zhongshu did in history and the role of Confucianism on the rulers.
Interestingly, this is not an isolated case. From the perspective of the ruler, the caste system also has the same effect.
The fact that Hinduism was able to defeat Buddhism in India, the birthplace of Buddhism was largely due to the caste system.
Like Dong Zhongshu's tampering with Confucianism, the caste system has also become one of the tools for rulers to maintain social order.
Of course, Qin Yao would definitely not learn this thing, so he would do something in Fengdu.
But it is certainly no problem to extract its essence, combine it with Houtu, and suppress Dizang.
Therefore, he was not afraid of Ksitigarbha entering the underworld, and even had some expectations...
At this moment, watching his Jizhu holding it, a strange color suddenly flashed in Houtu's eyes.
The Yin Emperor he chose seemed to be full of talent in terms of power and conspiracy.
In other words, there is no need to worry about these things at all, and there is no need to be afraid of the "invasion" of Buddhism!
"Then I won't care?" Soon, she even said with a smile.
Qin Yao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. But it's not about Dizang. I'll solve this problem. What you need to do is to fight against the Jade Emperor.
If he takes the name as power, he will do this once, and we will have to fight once.
Just like training a dog, if the dog is beaten more often, he dares not bare his teeth easily.”
Houtu: "…"
She never admired anyone in her life, but now she is really convinced.
