Chapter 1342: Re-entering Cuiwei Palace
"National Education!"
"Eternal life!"
In the Golden Palace, the one who is currently in charge is not the new emperor, but Changsun Wuji, who follows the Tang Emperor and assists the new emperor.
For others, the choice of life or death is not the case for Changsun Wuji.
But he was not sure whether the "Eternal Medicine" really had enough effect.
When Emperor Tang pretended to die, he had a premonition that he had no remaining life.
If the immortality medicine is effective, Emperor Tang still has a large life span, so how could he give the Buddha Tathagata?
But he really has difficulty in knowing the efficacy of the medicine.
Li Hongru left seven immortal medicines in Cuiwei Palace, and they have not tested the medicine until now.
The immortal medicine is expensive and must be taken by people with sufficient portions, but it cannot be taken by people with normal lifespan.
This is not only related to checking the wonderful use of immortality medicine to prolong life, but also to avoid possible side effects of large medicines on normal people.
Moreover, they need to verify the time for the immortal medicine.
It is difficult to verify that the immortal medicine prolongs life for a hundred years in just a short time.
"It's a coincidence that the Emperor pretended to die and the time when the immortal medicine was released!"
Changsun Wuji pursed his lips, feeling that whenever these things were not in conflict, it would be convenient for him to make decisions.
"Maybe this is the case that the emperor is waiting for. Only when everything appears in its true form will the emperor use thunder to eliminate everything?"
The new emperor's ascension to the throne is still short. If the Emperor of Tang recovers, many important officials will definitely choose Emperor Tang without hesitation and execute all the orders of Emperor Tang.
Changsun Wuji thought back and forth, and waited for a moment before nodding slightly to the new emperor.
"I will definitely choose to save my father's life. Although the Buddha's request is excessive, I may have made it!"
The twenty-one-year-old new emperor is very young.
Although he followed the Emperor of Tang for six years, there were few examples for reference in political affairs.
This is when you just ascend the throne, you have to face a choice, and even this choice is not given at all.
It is not possible to save Emperor Tang, but saving Emperor Tang will lead to chaos in the future. It is not a false statement that the emperor passed down for three generations.
The Eastern Tu Dynasty never directly chose foreign sects as the national religion, and even in some foolish dynasties, they were only bewitched by local sects.
This is something that has never been seen in Dongtu history.
Just a decision may change the pattern of Dongtu for thousands of years.
He was even nailed to the pillar of shame later.
The new emperor looked at Changsun Wuji who nodded slightly, and thought about the "breaking the rules" mentioned by Emperor Tang, which made him speak steadily.
His speech showed that he had to save Emperor Tang's life, and also showed his dissatisfaction with Buddhism taking the opportunity to threaten it to become the Tang Dynasty's national religion.
"good!"
The Buddha Tathagata did not mind the words of the new emperor.
After hearing the words "promise", he finally felt relieved.
"There is not much time left now, so please ask Your Majesty to perform the sacrifice ceremony early, so that we can also let us perform the art!"
The Buddha Tathagata reached out to invite him.
When this made the ministers silent, the new emperor also slowly stood up.
"Move the Cuiwei Palace to worship the sky," the new emperor said in a deep voice.
"Why don't Your Majesty worship the sky in the imperial palace of Chang'an City?" asked the Buddha Tathagata.
"It is said that this matter is related to the previous emperor." Changsun Wuji took over the topic and said: "The emperor died early. When the emperor was heartbroken, he attracted the earthly energy to build Zhaoling. This allowed the emperor to see the emperor's and empress's tomb in the palace every day. However, the earthly energy provided Zhaoling. The palace needed to move the place to hold a ritual. You also know that the emperor ascended the throne and worshipped the heavenly sacrifice ceremony held in Cuiwei Palace!"
Changsun Wuji spoke out and introduced the new emperor to provide evidence.
This made the Buddha Tathagata nod and no longer ask questions.
There are thirty miles to go to Cuiwei Palace in Chang'an City. Time needs to be waited for a while, but it won't be long.
He whispered, and Mahakasyapa and Ananda retreated to Ci'en Temple together.
In the Golden Palace, there was only the Xinhuang's low "retreat" and the heavy footsteps of many ministers.
Everyone knows the harm of this kind of state religion, but no one has the ability to stop it at this time.
Whoever dares to stop him will harm the life of Emperor Tang, and the consequences of the Emperor Tang will naturally be the result of killing the nine clans.
There are different ways to argue with Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, but when it comes to the request of the Buddha Tathagata, no one can speak on such matters, even Chu Suiliang chose not to say a word.
The silent civil and military ministers lined up in two long rows and continued to run towards Cuiwei Palace.
"Li Taizheng, can you calculate the emperor's life?"
Following out of the palace, Li Hongru asked in a low voice.
"I am just a master of the eighth grade of the soul. There are many things that cannot be calculated, and they cannot be calculated!"
Li Chunfeng responded in a low voice.
Buddhism entered the Tang Dynasty legally and compliantly, which almost everyone was concerned about.
It’s not just that Li Hongru doesn’t want to go out and see a bunch of monks with bare heads, but Li Chunfeng doesn’t want to see such scenes.
Emperor Tang's high-pressure strategy on sects lasted for more than ten years, eliminating the influence of many sects.
At this time, these sects could not afford to make a wave. Even because of the continuous "saving people into the Tao", many new generations of Taoists and monks began to love their families, countries and the Tang Dynasty.
However, under this high-pressure strategy, Emperor Tang did not give Buddhism a space to accommodate in advance.
No one would welcome such a mega-sect.
This is an elite force that can compete with the Tang Dynasty court, and even the strength of Buddhism is stronger at this time.
The lack of Tang Emperor's rule of law, Li Jing, Duke of Wei, passed away again, the new emperor had not yet grown strong enough, and the top of the Tang court fell into a vacant state.
Even though Li Hongru, Xu Maogong and others are extremely strong, they know their class.
They not only cannot fight against the Buddha Tathagata, but also against Maitreya Buddha. Below the two Buddhas, there are several top-level practitioners with extremely powerful strength.
A court and a state religion will inevitably lead to huge conflicts due to different factions, resulting in countless storms.
Many people want to find a new way out, and Li Hongru is no exception.
After hearing Li Chunfeng's powerless reply, Li Hongru was unable to come up with a solution for a while.
"Unless there is no need for Buddhist spell casting, the emperor can jump and resurrect it, we can solve the current problem," Li Chunfeng whispered.
"Do you feel reliable?" Li Hongru said with a headache.
"Didn't you feed the Emperor's immortality medicine?"
"Then I didn't expect the emperor to die the little time before taking the immortal medicine!"
If it was said that it was a long time to take Li Jing to take the longevity medicine, the time between taking the Tang Emperor's medicine made Li Hongru sigh that it was too coincidental.
"I can only see if the emperor can save him." Li Hongrudao: "If he can save him, the immortal medicine can take effect again, and he will fight Buddhism for a long time in the future!"
Until now, Li Hongru and Li Chunfeng can only place their hopes on Emperor Tang.
As the king of a country before, Emperor Tang had reached the ninth rank of cultivation.
If Emperor Tang can ascend the throne again, with the increase in national fortune, his strength will not be much inferior to that of the Tathagata Buddha, and he will also become the leader of everyone.
The two of them had the thoughts at this time also the thoughts of many ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
If the Buddha Tathagata saves Emperor Tang, it will inevitably allow everyone to find a firm foundation to join in.
If the Buddha of Tathagata cannot save the Emperor Tang, the court will do its best to attack Buddhism and let the other party restrain themselves, thus having a possible integration and get along with each other.
"That Master Xuanzang has left the temple!"
Li Chunfeng pointed to Ci'en Temple in the distance.
Chen Yi's body was lying at home, and he played many games with Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, but Li Chunfeng knew a lot of inside stories.
Obviously, Jin Chanzi borrowed Chen Yi's body and successfully transformed himself into a successful Buddha in Dongtu.
This change is far more thorough than that of Brahmin Buddhas such as Bodhidharma, Ksitigarbha, and Ksitigarbha. This is a complete reincarnation and regeneration as a local native.
The legal identity gives Master Xuanzang a great advantage.
Even Master Xuanzang translates Buddhist scriptures at Ci'en Temple all year round, and occasionally goes out to the temple to preach the sutras and treatises, which makes many people feel good and can't resist it.
But Master Xuanzang was hidden in the body of Jin Chanzi.
This is the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, and he will follow everything about Tathagata Buddha, not the Tang people imagined in the court.
If Master Xuanzang becomes the throne, the Eastern Buddhist Church will directly become a sect controlled by the Tathagata Buddha.
"Do we want to expose his identity?" Li Chunfeng whispered.
"Look at the situation first!"
Li Hongru shook his head.
Master Xuanzang, Jin Chanzi, and Chen Yi, the relationship between this is indeed a handle.
But this handle is not enough to change the current situation.
