In other words, Nanfangbuzhou is only peaceful and stable on the surface, but inside it is actually filled with demonic flames.
Calculating it like this, everything is just a number of days.
True Lord Yang Jian did not reincarnate in the lower world, and Yang Chuan did not reincarnate as a human being. The Xuanyuan Sword was controlled by Yang Zhong and Yang Jian. Yang Jian tried to usurp the throne, and the Yang Dynasty perished. This was generally everyone's original destiny.
Now if he had a hand in it, there would be nothing but cause and effect.
So, what will this cause and effect look like?
Because of the relationship with the Yang Dynasty, I am afraid that Xuanyuan Sword will lead to the next dynasty.
The person who holds the Xuanyuan Sword and pacifies the devil must be an emperor.
And this person will go to help Buddhism flourish, it is humanity that repays cause and effect, and this one is related to the monkey at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain.
Yamazaki felt something vaguely, but it was not clear, and he could not grasp it.
I meditated for a long time, thought about it all again, and finally decided to take a trip.
Be willing to give up, be willing to give up, only when you give up can you gain something, and only when you endure the sacrifice can you gain something great.
…
Nanjingguan.
Yamazaki entrusted the affairs to Ling Jintang and set off alone to the Yang Dynasty capital thousands of miles away.
I took a detour to see Chi You. That guy was hiding in the mountains southwest of Nanfanbuzhou. He was either killing animals to practice martial arts or sleeping.
If it weren't for the fact that the technique was about feeding on living beings, it would actually be nothing.
But in today’s world of humanity, there is a problem.
Yamazaki made a calculation, covered his face and retreated - he didn't make the calculation.
…
Outside the capital of the Yang Dynasty, the Great Buddha Temple.
Yamazaki waited for Empress Yang to finish offering incense, then sent a message to her, asking her to come to the backyard to meet her.
Queen Yang was overjoyed and hurried to the backyard, where she saw the commoner mountain man at a glance.
After waving away the servant girl's entourage, only she and her daughter Princess Lihua stepped forward.
Yamazaki held up his hand and said, "People from the mountains have seen the Queen and the Princess."
Princess Lihua laughed at herself, "Princess, oh, my status as the former Queen Mother is really embarrassing."
"Identity is not determined by people, so don't worry about it." Yamazaki sighed, "The road in the past has been passed, but the road now still has to be walked."
Princess Lihua was stunned for a moment, then realized that it meant people were alive, "Yes, you are right."
Empress Yang clasped her hands and said, "It's really the Buddha's blessing that I can see you again, sir."
"It is indeed the blessing of Buddhism," Yamazaki said. "In fact, our cause and effect has not yet arrived. This time, Buddhism always prayed to the empress. He was afraid that the prayers would not be granted and His Majesty would be displeased, so he made conditions for me to come to see the empress in order to appease the empress."
In order to let His Majesty know that Buddhism is useful and cannot be banned."
Queen Yang nodded, "I see, Your Majesty does have some prejudices against Buddhism."
"Well," Yamazaki said bluntly, hesitantly, "Your Majesty, I can tell you that those dirty and dirty people are bad at learning Buddhism and are possessed by demons. Buddhas are kind to people, and those who harm the common people are mostly demons.
.”
"That's it. Thank you sir for your advice." Queen Yang said with her hands folded.
Yamazaki sighed, this is helping Buddhism out of trouble.
Princess Lihua said with a smile: "Sir, you really know how to speak good words for Buddhism, but even if the cause and effect has not yet come, how can you meet it?"
"This is a cause and effect between Buddhism and me, and I don't know what will happen from this. It depends on what we say."
"What if that's all?"
"That's okay, there won't be any big changes."
Empress Yang hesitated, "I want to ask you, sir, about the way of benevolence that you talked about back then."
Yamazaki sighed: "Confucianism says that one should cultivate one's moral integrity, harmonize one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. In fact, there is only one thing missing in the end, which is to abdicate."
"A master with great achievements must be feared by the king. At this time, there are only two ways, retreat and wait for the king to take action first, or let the king give in."
"I'm afraid there are no kings who will take the initiative to abdicate, so I can only force him into the palace."
"However, at that time, the world had been pacified, and his achievements were so high that he could silence the people of the world."
"The act of abdication will only be passed down as a good story, instead of being rumored like it is today - bullying the married daughter and taking over the position of the young grandson."
"No matter how much Your Majesty tries to whitewash it, this bad debt cannot be erased. The impact is so great that I won't talk about it."
Empress Yang bowed to pay homage and said, "Sir, please give me a clear explanation."
Yamazaki shook his head, "Although the number of days has not been determined, the cause and effect has been determined. It will not change because of what I say. On the contrary, it is what I say now. The more I hear it, the more mistakes I will make in the future."
"Sir." Queen Yang wanted to kneel down, but Yamazaki held her back.
Empress Yang begged, "Sir, the world has just been settled, please help me for the sake of the people of Nanfangbuzhou."
Yamazaki laughed, "Empress, what you said is hypocritical. If the Yang family is for the common people, why would they seek to usurp the throne?"
"That's good." Princess Lihua felt happy.
"This..." Queen Yang turned red with embarrassment.
"If the Queen is working for the Yang family, then I have a solution."
"What can I do?"
"Let Your Majesty give up the throne, become a monk with you, and lead a spiritual practice."
Queen Yang and Princess Lihua were both dumbfounded. How could this be possible?
Yamazaki said seriously: "The throne is the source of disaster. If you give up the throne, you will naturally be away from disaster."
Princess Lihua shook her head, "It's impossible. My father will not give up the throne unless he dies."
"Then there is nothing we can do. How can we be safe if we seek death?" Yamazaki handed over his hand, "What other problems does the Queen have?"
"Is it possible to see you again in the future?"
"Yes, there must be." Yamazaki smiled bitterly, "I have been involved in the rise and fall of the Yang Dynasty. The cause and effect of it, how can I get out of it? I will have trouble in the future."
Princess Lihua was surprised, "Then why are you here, sir? Is it the Buddhist cause and effect?"
Yamazaki nodded, "It's for the cause and effect of Buddhism. It's even more of a mess here. Just take a look as you walk."
"It seems that even a worldly expert like you is not as happy as you want. You have a lot of troubles."
Yamazaki held up his hands and said, "Today's matter, just listen to what I have to say. Don't think too much about it, let alone change anything."
"Otherwise, it will only be counterproductive, add fuel to the flames, and drift further and further away."
"It's obviously going to the east, but if you look at it in a few years or decades, you will finally find that it's still going to the west."
"With that said, I'll take my leave and see you again when we have a chance."
…
The appearance of Yamazaki was naturally not hidden from Yang Jian, but what he told the queen, I really don't know.
The Empress and Princess Lihua conspired together to fool everyone by saying whatever they could.
Yang Jian knew that there were many flaws, but he couldn't find out, so he didn't ask any more questions.
…
And sure enough, as Yamazaki said, because the empress remembered what she said and wanted to practice benevolence, she couldn't help but take action a few years later and encouraged her husband to dethrone the prince who loved luxury and misbehaved.
Yamazaki didn't know what to say and could only wait and see what happened.
If something goes wrong in the future, it will just happen. The more you do what you think is right, the more the situation will develop.
…
In the year 1158 of the Linghai calendar, the fifty-nine-year-old queen passed away due to illness.
The reason was that she refused to take medicine in order to fulfill her vow to pray to Buddha to save her husband. She prayed to Buddha instead of medicine.
Yamazaki was stunned when he saw it. No wonder the Buddha had tried so hard to get him to see Empress Yang.
