"Don't stop me, I, Old Cheng, am going to kill that monster monk today." Er
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! What's the difference between doing this and openly resisting the order?"
"yes!"
"Your Majesty may have been interested for a moment, but he will take it back after he calms down."
Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jing pulled Cheng Yaojin.
The three of them were several famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty. Cheng Yaojin was holding a big ax at this time and wanted to chop Master Xuanzang, the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi.
Cheng Yaojin looks like a rough man, as if he has no brains, but in fact he is very intelligent. Under his appearance of being helpless and rough, there should be a fox's heart hidden.
These recklessness were just staged for Li Shimin to see. Er
but,
Today he really wanted to kill Xuanzang.
The reason is simple.
Not long ago,
Suddenly an imperial edict was issued from the palace.
Simply put, the content of the imperial edict is that the emperor admired Buddhism extremely, so he decided to go to Xitianling Mountain with Xuanzang.
As soon as this incident came out, how could the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty not be shocked. Er
In their opinion, it is not appropriate for a good emperor to worship Buddha.
Isn’t it a perfect sign of national subjugation?
The most important thing is that this is the time when the world is being settled, and the foundation of the dynasty is not yet stable.
The emperor ran away, how could we not make the ministers anxious?
If a dynasty wants to be passed down, it must have two consecutive generations of ruthless emperors.
Qin Shihuang Yingzheng could suppress an era, but Qin II did not have this ability, and all Qin was overthrown by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was able to suppress his contemporaries, but Liu Ying did not have this ability, but his mother Lu Pheasant could kill all the restless ones. Er
After the founding emperor, there must be a powerful emperor in order for the dynasty to gain a foothold.
The Jin and Sui Dynasties that followed were also unable to suppress them in the second generation.
There was Zhao Kuangyi in the Song Dynasty and Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty.
Two generations of ruthless emperors basically reigned for fifty or sixty years.
Every ten years can be regarded as a generation. As long as they are between ten and twenty years old, after proper education, they will basically be stereotyped for the rest of their lives.
Fifty or sixty years is enough time to survive five or six generations.
Five or six generations later, what will the previous dynasty be? Er
Who else remembers!
In fifty or sixty years, the Confucian disciples will naturally brainwash the whole world for the new emperor.
Two generations of ruthless emperors suppressed all the careerists of the same era and got rid of all the heroes.
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin played this role.
There are smart people in every era, but the smart people in the early dynasties are the most terrifying, because they have no so-called ethics of monarchs and ministers in their minds, only princes and generals have the kind of peace?
At this time, there were no idiots in the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty.
They can see clearly! Er
If Li Shimin steps down from the throne now, Prince Li Chengqian will definitely not be able to suppress him. King Li of Wei could no longer hold back.
The dynasty is in chaos, or the cards will be reshuffled.
These aristocratic families are still licking their wounds and don't want to cause chaos immediately.
then,
Many ministers were waiting outside the palace gate, wanting to see the emperor and persuade the flower girl to be sensible.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Qin Shubao also came outside the palace gate and felt cold when they saw hundreds of familiar figures.
At this moment, Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty who had not left the house for a long time, pulled Qin Shubao up. Er
"follow me."
Yuchi Jingde and the other three looked at each other in confusion, followed Li Jing in the opposite direction, and entered a palace gate.
Not long after,
They saw the emperor Li Shimin they wanted to see...
It shouldn't be Wang Ming.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to the lies of the demon monk Xuanzang. Things like immortality and no reincarnation are all lies."
"Yes! All the four elements are empty. I only see the gold-plated Buddha statue." Er
Yuchi Jingde and others immediately persuaded Wang Ming to come when they entered the door. They even forgot the etiquette between monarch and minister.
"Okay! When did I say that I would give up the throne and become a monk?"
Wang Ming was too lazy to listen to a few grown men arguing in his ears, so he drank to stop.
Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Didn't Your Majesty say that he and the demon monk Xuanzang would go to Xitian Lingshan to get the Mahayana Buddhism together?"
Wang Ming nodded and said: "That's right!"
"Going to Xitianling Mountain to learn Buddhist scriptures is not like losing your throne and becoming a monk." Yuchi Gong looked anxious.
"Going to the West doesn't mean I want to become a monk, nor does it mean I want to be a monk." Wang Mingdao. Er
"But it's so difficult for you to go to Lingshan alone, which is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away. If something happens to your Majesty, what will Jiangshan Sheji do?" Qin Shubao said.
"Especially there are many small countries passing through along the way. What should we do if they have evil intentions and seize His Majesty and let the defenders open the city gate." Li Jing, who is cautious, also said.
He didn't really want to speak, but he had to.
Originally, after Li Jing settled down in the world, in order to avoid being suspected by Li Shimin, he basically stayed in the house and did not contact anyone.
He suddenly announced that he was here today. He was afraid that Li Shimin was testing his loyalty.
Cheng Yaojin actually had the same idea.
"Catch me? When did I say that I wanted to go to Xitian Lingshan alone?" Wang Ming asked in return. Er
“But, how many people can your Majesty bring?
With less than 100,000 troops, it is unable to resist sneak attacks from other small countries. With an army of 100,000, the journey is long and the consumption along the way is huge.
It will definitely bring down the imperial court’s finances!
Your Majesty, please think twice! "Li Jing had a sincere expression on his face. I don't know what he was thinking.
"That's right, it's not a benevolent king to waste money and people like this for a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures!"
Wang Mingdao: "Okay! Why would I go to war just for a few volumes of scriptures?"
Then Wang Ming walked to a table and waved his hand: "Come and take a look." Er
Yuchi Jingde and others took a closer look and saw a strange painting on the golden nanmu table.
Several people looked at each other, wondering what Wang Ming was thinking.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"Take a closer look." Wang Ming smiled.
"Ground... map, where did your majesty get such an exquisite and clear map?" Li Jing asked with a shocked expression.
Naturally, Wang Ming brought the map from the Marvel world.
"Those are not important. What is important is that I decided to go to Xitianling Mountain to learn Buddhist scriptures." Er
"What?" x4
"I want to send troops to fight all the way to Tianzhu."
"No! Your Majesty, the national strength cannot support us in such a long-term war." Military God Li Jing advised.
"Moreover, the distance is too far, and we can't really integrate them into the Tang Dynasty. They will definitely rebel if we leave. But if we station too many soldiers and horses, the gains outweigh the losses."
Wang Ming snorted coldly and said: "Really? What a beautiful idea. Every time a piece of land is conquered, the men will be brought back to farm the land and build the city wall, while the women will be directly married to soldiers and soldiers as concubines. After more than ten years, all the land will be owned by our Tang Dynasty. People, what are they rebelling against?
Against themselves? "
"This is indeed a good idea." Military God Li Jing nodded and said, "It's a good idea!" It's good that you lose all your conscience. Er
Basically, it is not just about destroying the country, but also destroying the species.
Cheng Yaojin looked strange, and then asked tentatively: "Your Majesty believes in Buddhism. Doesn't Buddhism say that you should be compassionate, and sweeping the floor may hurt the lives of ants? Your Majesty..."
“I often lament that the world is constantly at war and human lives are wasting away on the battlefield. I always feel sad when I wake up from my dreams at midnight.
Finally, I finally figured out a way to bring peace to the world. "
"Peace in the world?"
Wang Ming nodded and said: "War is a fight between countries. When there is only one country in the world, there will naturally be no more than war."
When Cheng Yaojin and the others heard this, they were confused. Er
Wang Mingxin was talking nonsense. He simply knew that he could not avoid Journey to the West, so he turned from passive to active and entered the game directly.
