Although Fahai saw this martial artist for the first time.
but!
With his current level of cultivation, he would naturally not 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 precious.
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 and only female emperor of China.
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 the Central Plains, it has its own significance, and it also shows that her skills are extraordinary.
Otherwise, how can one succeed?
But in today's Tang Dynasty, does she still have a chance to become emperor?
After truly walking in 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 filthy deeds, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how many of them are there? Is it worthy of belief?
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 intervene in the change of emperor, Prince Li Zhi After awakening the power of the human bloodline, whether Empress Wu will be given 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 ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave. , how can you be willing?
Even if he couldn't ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave, with Li Shimin's determination, he would never stop there.
"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 Grade. 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.
In addition to his doting on the eldest grandson, Li Shimin also had four concubines, nine concubines, twenty-seventh wives, and eighty-one royal wives in the harem. The "talented" were only the lower-ranking among the twenty-seventh wives, and their superiors There are also third-grade Jieyu and fourth-grade beauty.
Even if Jiubin, 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 the Empress Changsun is here, there will never be any other concubine 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 he is 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, 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 completely deteriorated.
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 part is her responsibility.
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, when the sect was opened today, she also gained knowledge. Those who do not accept incense are Holy Buddha, this is really unheard of.
She knows how to behave appropriately. Now that His Majesty has left her alone to meet Master Tripitaka, she will naturally not miss out on 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 a few days ago. They think Mei Niang has a close relationship with Buddha, so today I specially sent her to bring"
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?"
In today's Three Realms, 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 the Queen of Xiliang. However, they also need to add the word "brother" after them. It is even more impossible to imitate.
Unless you want to try Master Tripitaka's "Mighty Heavenly Dragon".
Faced with Li Shimin's inquiry, Fa Hai was speechless for a moment. 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 he rekindled his old relationship with your prince Li Zhi, entered the palace again, and used extraordinary means. Pass all the way and become the queen of the dynasty?
And then because of Li Zhi's illness, the Second Saint came to court, 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."
Fahai 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. Fahai 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 used his Dharma Eyes to see the details of Wu Cai Ren. Once again, he 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.
In the Main Hall, they were the only two people facing each other. As for the reception of the Buddha, they were currently looking at the hundreds of classics brought by Master Tripitaka from the Tang Dynasty in the Sutra Pavilion of the Great Leiyin Temple.
He had ignored these things in the past, but now it was not too late to pick them up.
"Buddha, 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 world and spread Buddhism."
The Bodhisattva nodded slightly after hearing the words. The Buddha was really trapped in the Lingshan Mountain. In fact, it was 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 was passing 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. Some disciples around me saw this. He got angry at this situation and wanted to drive the little girl away, but I stopped him."
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 land of the Central Plains. And that At that time, it was time for Tripitaka to finish studying Buddhist scriptures, 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. If she formed good ties and good roots, she would carry them forward in the future. Buddhism protects Buddhism, 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. I'm afraid this good fate will It’s hard to fall on me.”
Firstly, Wu Meiniang may not be able to successfully ascend the throne; secondly, it is Tripitaka Tathagata who has the final say in Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, and he does not need to worry about it.
"That's it." After hearing this, the Bodhisattva suddenly smiled and said, "Otherwise, it would just be a beautiful talk about 'holding sand to offer to Buddha'."
In Daci'en Temple.
After seeing the imperial brother calling 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 connection? What is the meaning of this statement?"
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 be 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 for Buddhist teachings from my brother. I cannot promise that no one in the great Ming Palace knows my brother's consciousness-only teachings." Bar?"
Seeing that Fa Hai 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 who are really interested in Buddhism. Although the prince likes to learn Buddhism, he has a lot of responsibilities after all. It is also the responsibility of the prisoner country that Yuan and Li mentioned that Mei Niang has some Buddhist connections, so I brought her here. If my brother feels that she is a female prostitute and cannot come to the temple often, I will trouble my brother to send one or two capable disciples. The Dharma is preached in the palace."
"Amitabha, this is not appropriate." Fahai immediately refused. The matter of monks entering the palace was not something that was popular, especially in the harem of the Tang Dynasty. Failure to protect everything would cause some trouble.
Wukong and the others were definitely not willing to go into the palace. The only people who taught the martial arts people about Buddhism were the ordinary monks who stayed with them all these days.
I have to say, there are really some worthy ones.
But Fahai didn't think that if they entered the harem and could escape intact, then it would be too unworthy if their cultivation was compromised and their lives were lost.
"The few bad disciples under my sect have not practiced enough on their own, and they are not qualified to teach as teachers. Besides, their appearance is inhuman and it is very inconvenient for them to come and go in the palace." Fa Hai thought about it, "Can this female benefactor be allowed to come and go at the beginning, middle and end of each 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. Could it be that he couldn't trust his imperial 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."
Fahai:? ? ?
