Chapter 1604(1/3)
"After the Dragon King of Jinghe was beheaded, a ghost appeared outside my palace gate. Do you know where this ghost came from?"
Li Shimin asked.
"I don't know, but I'm just guessing based on common sense, shouldn't it be the Dragon King of Najing River?"
"This evil dragon's spirit persisted after his death, and he blamed His Majesty for everything. That's why he pretended to be a ghost outside the palace gate day and night."
Wei Zheng said bravely.
"That's wrong. As the king of a country, I have the luck of the whole country, and the dragon energy protects my body. How can a mere evil spirit harm me?"
"That ghost is clearly Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Li Shimin said with a stern voice.
Wei Zheng was stunned and lost his voice:
"What, how is this possible?"
Although he had some dealings with Buddhism, this only involved Zhou Xiyou
Buddhism once promised that as long as he could kill the Dragon King of Jinghe River, he would help Buddhism promote the journey to the west and spread Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.
Then after his death, he can directly enter the priesthood and serve as the judge of the underworld.
From now on, you will be immortal and never have to suffer the pain of reincarnation again.
But Buddhism never told him any of these details.
If I knew he would kill me, I wouldn't dare to make such a deal
You must know that once such a thing as murdering the emperor is exposed, it will be a serious crime of beheading. It will directly implicate the nine tribes. Even after death, you will be infamy and be reviled by future generations.
He did these 797 things just because his brain was crazy.
"What? Are you still pretending not to know now?"
Li Shimin sneered.
Wei Zheng was so anxious that he almost cried and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, I swear to God, I really don't know about this."
Damn it, I knew this deal wasn't that simple.
If you cut off your head, you can become a priest and transcend reincarnation directly. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
It turns out there is some kind of calculation going on here.
This trick of Buddhism really screwed him up
"Wei Zheng, you are really audacious, and you still don't admit it to this day."
Li Shimin shouted angrily.
"I will give you one last chance to make the deal with Buddhism a reality, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless.
His face was extremely gloomy, and he wished he could drag this rebellious minister out immediately and kill him.
Wei Zheng, on the other hand, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Now things really get serious.
If the explanation is not good, not only will he be guillotined, but he will also implicate the entire family.
It will be infamy for thousands of years.
Is it really worth it just to get a position as a judge after death?
And now that Journey to the West has failed, can Buddhism fulfill its original promise?
But if I really tell everything about what happened at the beginning, I will offend Buddhism.
As the emperor, Li Shimin could certainly cure him of his sins, but those gods and Buddhas could also make him irrecoverable.
Now he seems to be in a dilemma, no matter what he does, he will be finished.
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng whose expression changed again and again.
An unprecedented feeling of disgust arose in my heart.
Originally, in his impression, Wei Zheng was an honest and upright official. In the court, even if he made a mistake, the other party could speak out.
He admires his lack of fear of power and his impartiality and selflessness.
I just didn't expect that Wei Zheng actually had a disobedient heart.
To this day, he has understood the context of the matter, and the other party is still trying to hide it and evade responsibility.
Not even willing to tell the truth.
He really deserves to die. Do you really think that you dare not punish him?
After a long time, Wei Zheng raised his head and looked at Li Shimin.
A wry smile appeared on his face and he said slowly:
"Your Majesty, I really didn't lie. From the beginning to the end, I never had any experience with the Jin Dynasty."
"What happened in the beginning was all arranged by Guanyin Bodhisattva personally."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's pupils suddenly shrank, and his expression became even colder.
Sure enough, what the consort said was true.
The affairs of the Jinghe Dragon King were all manipulated by Buddhism behind the scenes.
"Wei Zheng, please tell us what happened in detail and from the facts, otherwise, I will destroy your history."
Wei Zheng did not dare to neglect and hurriedly told what happened in detail.
"At the beginning, Guanyin Bodhisattva promised me that as long as I could kill the Dragon King of Jinghe River, I would help Buddhism promote its journey to the west and promote Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty."
"Then after this is accomplished, you can enter the underworld and serve as a judge."
.....
"I considered that these matters would not cause harm to Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty, so I agreed."
"As for the saying, the Guanyin Bodhisattva deliberately used magical powers outside the palace gate to scare His Majesty, which caused His Majesty to fall ill and wander to the underworld.
"I really don't know these things.
"You really don't know? What's going on with Tang Sanzang? He's from Buddhism. Don't tell me you don't know him."
Li Shimin snorted coldly.
Guanyin Bodhisattva used magical powers to make him seriously ill, and then his soul wandered to the underworld.
When he met Tang Sanzang again, Tang Sanzang saved his life in the underworld. In this way, he owed Buddhism's kindness.
These things are all linked together.
As a participant in the plan, he did not believe that Wei Zheng would not know.
"Tang Sanzang, what does he have to do with this matter?"
Wei Zheng said a little confused.
When Li Shimin saw that Wei Zheng was still pretending, he sneered.
"I met Tang Sanzang in the underworld. It was under his leadership and introduction that I met Yama and left the underworld."
"You harmed me, then pretended to be a good person, and then rescued me so that I could feel grateful. What a deep conspiracy in Buddhism."
When Wei Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel stunned.
He is worthy of being a god and Buddha, and his planning and original plan turned out to be flawless.
When Guanyin Bodhisattva instructed him to do some things, he was still very confused. What was the purpose of Buddhism doing this?
Now when Li Shimin said it, he suddenly realized it.
It turns out that the other party had already made a comprehensive plan.
Not only the emperor, but also he was treated as a pawn
But the emperor was just a mortal, how did he know about this? Could it be that Fang Za had a right relationship with some god or Buddha?
At this moment, Li Shimin shouted angrily.
"Wei Zheng's criminals went up to cause rebellion. Wei Zheng's criminals went up to cause rebellion, intending to rebel. People came here to plot rebellion.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Now, put him and everyone in the mansion into prison, and they will be executed on another day!"
The sound was like thunder, and a group of guards rushed up immediately. Wei Zheng suddenly trembled with fright and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, no, I have a life-saving grace for you!"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, with a look of ridicule on his face. This rebellious minister dared to talk sweetly even though he was about to die.
When had he ever saved his life?
Wei Zheng seized the opportunity and quickly explained:
