Chapter 503: What do you think of the royal disciple’s observation? Then let the prince come with him
Although Fahai saw this martial artist for the first time.
but!
With his current level of cultivation, it is natural that he cannot fail to see the human destiny contained in her body.
She has the strange appearance of the moon, dragon eyes and phoenix eyes. Although she is a woman, she is extremely noble.
Even though the Queen of Xiliang was in front of her, the Daughter Kingdom was a special place after all. This woman had the aura of an emperor, so she still appeared in the Tang Dynasty, following her brother Li Shimin, and pretending to be a talented person...
.
The identity of the other party is self-evident.
Wu Zetian.
The first female emperor of China and the only female emperor.
Not to mention the merits and demerits of her life, just because she sat in the ninth position in the world as a woman in this land of the Central Plains, it has its own significance, and it also shows that her skills are extraordinary.
Otherwise, how can one succeed in ascending to the throne?
But...in today's Tang Dynasty, does she still have a chance to become emperor?
After truly walking through the three realms of the world, Fahai's knowledge and understanding of the world are naturally different from what he used to be. He sits in Jinshan Temple and looks at the common people with high eyes... Even though later generations often spread rumors about Empress Wu's dirty deeds, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes,
How much is it worth believing?
Just like those short articles written by Wu Jing, they are mixed between true and false, but the writing style is solid... If the journey to the west is not all my own personal experience, how can I tell clearly which ones are true and which ones are false?
Now that things have happened, I am afraid that the future will no longer be what I know... Moreover, the future is inherently variable, not to mention that now there is myself as an "uninvited guest". Although I will not actively interfere in the change of emperors,...
..After Prince Li Zhi awakened the power of the human bloodline, whether he would give Empress Wu a chance is another matter of opinion.
The most important thing is that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who was supposed to have died in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, is still alive and in good health... In addition, Li Shimin has always wanted to fly to the Fire Cloud Cave. If he doesn't do something else,
How can you be content with achievements?
Even if he could not ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave, Li Shimin would never be able to stop there with his determination.
"Mei Niang." Li Shimin waved to Wu Cairen and said with a smile: "Come and see the Holy Buddha."
"I have seen the Holy Buddha." Wu Cairen bowed to Master Tripitaka, looking obedient.
She was the second daughter of the warrior Xun who was the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. In the eleventh year of Zhenguan, when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty visited Luoyang Palace, he heard about her reputation for "beautiful appearance", so he summoned her to the palace and granted her the title of fifth rank.
Talented people are given the title "Wu Mei".
She was only fourteen years old that year.
It's just that Wu Meiniang has never been favored since she entered the palace. She is still a talented person and her status in the palace is really average.
Although the harems of Chinese emperors had some differences in each dynasty, they always had a huge scale, and Li Shimin's harem was naturally no ordinary one.
In addition to doting on Empress Changsun, Li Shimin also had four concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seventh wives, and eighty-one royal wives in the harem... And the "talented man" was just a low-ranking wife among the twenty-seventh wives.
, there is also a third-grade Jieyu and a fourth-grade beauty on it.
Even if the nine concubines, Jieyu and Meiren are not full, in this large harem, it is actually not the turn for a small talent to emerge.
And these were already anticipated before she entered the palace.
Wu Meiniang, who has a strong nature, did not feel sorry for herself because she was selected into the palace. Just as she said when bidding farewell to her mother: "Do you know that it is not a blessing to serve the sage emperor? Why do you still cry and act like a child?"
Instead, accept your destiny calmly and firmly.
But over the years she has been in the palace, she has finally come to understand that as long as Queen Changsun is here, there will be no chance for any other concubine to show up in the harem.
Therefore, since she entered the palace, she has always kept a low profile and kept a low profile.
It's just that...only I am a little closer to Prince Li Zhi. This may be because they are similar in age...
She could sense that the prince had some strange feelings for her, and the most terrifying thing was that not only did she not resist, she even had some faint expectations.
This seemed to be a seed planted by the devil, and she didn't know when it would take root in her heart. Therefore, after realizing this, she began to deliberately avoid His Highness the Crown Prince.
Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open and many women were bold and unrestrained...but she still knew what she could do now and what she couldn't do now.
Now it should be due to Li Shimin's health, the relationship between Prince Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang has not yet had a chance to completely deteriorate.
Fahai has no intention of intervening in the affairs of the harem, besides, this matter is under the control of Princess Longji...right?
For a moment, Fahai was not sure what kind of marriage relationship the Wu Meiniang in front of him had with his imperial brother Li Shimin and the prince Li Zhi... Perhaps the "Hongyanxingjun" knew this best.
, after all, this area is under her control.
Facing this martial artist who might become the "Great Sage Emperor of Zetian" in the future, Fahai turned slightly and did not accept her full salute. Moreover, when she was about to bow, she had already raised her hand.
Hold her up with magic power.
Wu Cairen was stunned for a moment, and then she stood up. She had been instructed by His Majesty many times before, and knew that the Holy Buddha did not like these secular rituals. In addition, she also gained knowledge during the opening of the sect today...
The holy Buddha who burns incense is really unheard of.
She understands propriety, and since His Majesty has left her alone to meet Master Tripitaka, she will naturally not let slip in this aspect...but she will definitely not lack the proper etiquette.
"Imperial brother, this is Mei Niang in my palace, because Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng met her by chance when they accompanied me to visit the Imperial Garden some time ago... They think Mei Niang is very close to Buddha, so today I specially came here
Bring her..."
Li Shimin knew Master Sanzang's temperament better and was not surprised by this. It would be strange if Master Sanzang really let Mei Niang worship her.
"How about watching this, my dear brother?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the Three Realms today, there are only two people who dare to call Master Tripitaka his imperial disciple. One of them is naturally Li Shimin in front of him, and the other is Xi Liang
Queen, it's just that she has to add the word "brother" after it, and others can't follow her example.
Unless you want to try Master Tripitaka's "Great Powerful Heavenly Dragon".
Fahai was speechless for a moment when faced with Li Shimin's inquiry... What could he say?
It is said that this martial artist was supposed to enter Chang'an Ganye Temple as a nun after your death because he had no children. Then his old relationship with your prince Li Zhi rekindled and he entered the palace again and used extraordinary means.
Pass all the way and become the queen of the dynasty?
Then, due to Li Zhi's illness, the Second Saint came to the throne, laying the foundation for her to become emperor?
In the end, she directly abolished the title of "Li Tang" and changed its name to "Da Zhou", and also killed all of your Li family royal family?
This can be regarded as a conspiracy to usurp the throne.
Fa Hai knew that if he said this, even if Wu Cai Ren could leave Da Ci'en Temple alive today... he might not have many good days in the future.
"Amitabha."
Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name... None of these things had happened yet. The martial artist in front of him was just an innocent woman who entered the palace alone. Fa Hai naturally couldn't do such a thing.
At that time, there were rumors that Wu Zetian was the reincarnation of Maitreya... This was obviously a rumor. After all, when I was studying for Buddhist scriptures last year, I saw Maitreya Buddha in Lingshan Mountain.
However, just in case she was the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, Fahai Shicai still used his Dharma Eyes to see the details of Wu Cairen... and once again came to the conclusion that she indeed had nothing to do with Maitreya Buddha.
But it seems to be somewhat related to Buddha...
But what is the connection between this martial artist and Buddha, Fahai is not sure.
And in Lingshan at this moment.
After the Bodhisattva left Da Ci'en Temple, he first came to Da Leiyin Temple in Lingshan to meet the Buddha.
And in the Main Hall, they were the only two people facing each other. As for welcoming the Buddha... At the moment, in the Sutra Pavilion of Daleiyin Temple, they were looking at the hundreds of classics brought by Master Tripitaka from the Tang Dynasty.
He had ignored these things in the past, but now it is not too late to pick them up.
"Buddha and the poor monk saw a woman in the Daci'en Temple. Judging from her extraordinary luck, she seemed to have some causal connection with the Buddha."
The Buddha thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "When I arrived in the West, I was not trapped in Lingshan Mountain. I could always beg for alms in the human world and spread the Dharma..."
The Bodhisattva nodded slightly when he heard the words. The Buddha was really trapped in Lingshan... It was actually after Upalatha Buddha sat down and passed away.
Before that, he often appeared in the human world.
"It was also a coincidence that when I passed by a village, I saw a group of children playing. One of the little girls was disrespectful and not afraid when she saw me. Instead, she grabbed a handful of sand and put it in my alms bowl... At that time,
Some disciples got angry when they saw this situation and wanted to drive the little girl away, but I stopped her."
Even the Bodhisattva heard about this matter. The Buddha had never mentioned it before, and now he listened more seriously, "I think this little girl is the woman I saw in the Great Ci'en Temple.
Alright?"
"That's right." Buddha nodded and said, "The secret of heaven at that time was not as chaotic as it is now. It was very clear... When I first met her, I knew that after thousands of reincarnations, she would become the empress in the Central Plains of China.
..At that time, Tripitaka’s study of Buddhist scriptures was about to end, and Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty... If I did not accept her sand offering at that time, then after she ascended the throne, I am afraid she would not be close to Buddhism... And if we form a relationship
With good karma and good roots, she will promote Buddhism and protect Buddhism in the future. This is cause and effect, but——"
At this point, when the word "but" came out of his mouth, even the Buddha inevitably sighed, and then said: "Things happening now are already very different from the future I saw a thousand years ago... This good destiny
, I’m afraid it will be difficult to fall on me.”
Firstly, Wu Meiniang may not be able to successfully ascend the throne; secondly, in today's Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty... Tripitaka Tathagata has the final say, so there is no need for him to worry about it.
"I see." After hearing this, the Bodhisattva suddenly smiled and said, "Otherwise, it would just be a beautiful talk about 'holding sand to offer to the Buddha'."
...
In Daci'en Temple.
After seeing the emperor's brother saying the Buddha's name, there was no response. Now even Li Shimin felt a little surprised and asked quickly: "But what's wrong?"
"Although this female benefactor has a connection with Buddhism, it is not deep after all, and her worldliness is hard to break..." Fahai asked knowingly, "Does the emperor want to send her to become a nun?"
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she was immediately stunned... She had never wanted to become a nun!
Does Your Majesty really want to send yourself to become a nun?
But she thought of Master Tripitaka's words just now, and felt grateful and happy in her heart... If this was the case, His Majesty might be able to give up the idea of sending her to become a monk.
After listening to Master Tripitaka's words, Li Shimin asked curiously: "Is there a connection with Buddhism but not a deep one? How do you explain this?"
Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning of asking this question actually showed that Li Shimin did have the idea of sending Wu Meiniang to become a nun.
Even if you become a monk, you cannot go to Daci'en Temple. You have to go to Ganye Temple to practice and pray. Ganye Temple is a royal temple in the forbidden garden and is not open to the public.
"You can learn Buddhism and cultivate Buddhism." Fahai paused and then said: "It is not suitable to become a monk."
She is definitely not a person who can endure loneliness. Even if she is ordained temporarily, she will have to return to secular life sooner or later...
Li Shimin nodded, indicating that he understood, but then he smiled and said: "Then let her come to the temple from time to time to ask my brother for Buddhist teachings. I can't promise that no one in the big Ming Palace knows my brother's consciousness-only teachings."
Bar?"
Seeing that Fahai wanted to refuse, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "From the concubines, princes and princesses to the eunuchs, maids and guards, there are not many people in the palace who are really interested in Buddhism... Although the prince likes to learn Buddhism, after all
I am responsible for supervising the country... It was also Yuan and Li who mentioned that Mei Niang has some Buddhist connections, so I brought her here... If my brother feels that she is a prostitute and cannot come to the temple often, I will trouble my brother.
Send one or two capable disciples to teach the Dharma in the palace..."
"Amitabha, this is not appropriate." Fahai refused straight away. It was not a good thing for a monk to enter the palace...especially the harem of the Tang Dynasty. If it was not kept in good condition, something would happen.
Wukong and the others were definitely not willing to enter the palace and preach Buddhism to the Wu Cai people. They were the ordinary monks who stayed with them all these days.
I have to say, there are quite a few worthy of development.
But Fa Hai didn't think that they could escape unscathed after entering the harem...it would be too unworthy if their practice was broken and their lives were lost.
"The few bad disciples under my sect have not practiced enough on their own, and they are not even qualified to teach as teachers. Moreover, their appearance is not human, and it is very inconvenient for them to come and go in the palace..." Fa Hai thought about it and said, "Can this female benefactor, at the beginning of each month?
In the middle and at the end of the month, come to the temple to study Buddhism."
Seeing that Li Shimin was about to agree, he added, "I need someone to accompany me."
This was due to the reputation of both parties. After all, the women's crowns and monks of the Tang Dynasty... had a lot of romantic affairs spread among the people.
Li Shimin couldn't trust anyone, and couldn't he trust his royal disciple who was the Holy Buddha of the Three Realms?
But since the emperor's younger brother had given special instructions, Li Shimin said casually: "Then let the prince come with him."
