The Tathagata has dispelled the last worries of all the families, and naturally, they also got the desired ending!
Compared to becoming a Buddha and becoming an ancestor, are posthumous reputations, rebuke from ancestors, etc. more important? The head of the aristocratic family has never been a good person!
Tathagata glanced around and took in the unconcealed greed on the faces of the family heads... Haha, as expected, these guys are all my demonic power!
"Family heads, now that the Heavenly Court has taken over, the identity of the God has been exposed, and the Emperor of Tang is supporting him, how do you think we can break the situation?"
Tathagata asked... In terms of conspiracy and conspiracy, Tathagata admits that the human race is better. These monks are too focused on their own power, and their understanding of the human race is far inferior to that of everyone in front of them!
"It's a real problem."
The head of the Lu family was the first to speak: "Bigan, Erlai, Li Jing, the four gods are not only important ministers of the heaven, but also ancestors of the human race... When their identities are revealed in the court today, it will definitely spread. In a short time, Then Li Shimin's power will definitely skyrocket..."
"Yes, with the help of the gods, he sat on the throne. How powerful he is! I'm afraid he is grinning in the palace right now."
The head of the Cui family also frowned and agreed. With the help of the gods, public opinion will definitely change drastically. If they are going against the King of Tang at this moment, they are trying to kill an egg with a stone!
"It is not appropriate to go against Emperor Tang in the short term."
Changsun Wuji knew his brother-in-law's character well and said, "With the help of Heaven's bright sword and bright spear, I really can't find a better way for a while."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Changsun Wuji changed the topic again and asked Tathagata: "Buddha, may I ask how long it will take to complete the journey to the west?"
"Eighteen years..."
Tathagata thought for a while and said: "Eighteen years from now, the people who are destined to seek Buddhist scriptures will come of age. You need to let Emperor Tang make a grand decree to go westward at that time!"
"Eighteen years, then there will be no problem."
Hearing that it had been such a long time, Changsun Wuji's expression instantly relaxed a lot: "The fact that a minister in the court is a god will definitely make the people's hearts soar in a short period of time... But mortals are forgetful, and it only takes a few days. Years later, I will put this matter aside. Even if the gods do not show their power and help the people to benefit, they will be resentful..."
"No need to worry about that."
The Tathagata smiled slightly and said: "The laws of heaven have decrees. Immortals and gods are strictly prohibited from interfering with the operations of the mortal world. When dynasties change... When you go to earth, you can only experience the calamity as a mortal! You are not allowed to use magic."
"The gods of heaven have always abided by heaven's rules. Especially these three people are strict with themselves, so there is no need to worry."
"Haha, there is so much room for maneuver!"
Changsun Wuji clapped his hands and laughed: "Mortal affairs are not that simple without divine power! Not to mention, even if they have better policies, they still need people to implement them, right? Otherwise, good governance will become bad governance! "
"As for the court officials, nearly 80% of them are descendants of our aristocratic family...especially the basic officials from various places!"
Tathagata looked at the other heads of aristocratic families and saw that they were all smiling and stroking their beards, quite contented, as if it was something extraordinary.
Although Tathagata rarely rules, he is still the leader of a religion... Just with a quick thought, he understood what Changsun Wuji meant.
"Prime Minister Changsun is right! Good government and bad government will definitely cause complaints from the people, and if possible, they will secretly slander the gods as useless!"
"When the time comes, if we continue to spread the word that gods are superior and look down on mortals...ah, then all the altars used to worship gods in the mortal world will be smashed by others!"
"People's hearts are unpredictable, but this statement is never a lie!"
All the family heads spoke in agreement... At this time, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family suggested: "Slandering the gods is still the first step, then the second step should be to promote Buddhism, right?"
"Master Wang really understands people's hearts."
Changsun Wuji nodded, with a cruel light shining in his eyes: "World Honored One, is there any race in the ancient world that is cruel, bloodthirsty, greedy and lustful, and it is best that only Buddhism can easily deal with it?"
"Huh? Yes, there is, but what does Prime Minister Chang Sun want to use it for?"
Tathagata nodded and asked a little strangely... There was an answer deep in his heart, but he couldn't believe it!
"Of course, we will invest in the Tang Dynasty!"
As a member of the aristocratic family, the head of the Wang family immediately understood the meaning of Changsun Wuji's words: "After all, there are only three people when the gods come to earth, and they cannot take care of the entire people of the Tang Dynasty!"
"On the contrary, there are Buddhist temples in all major cities throughout the Tang Dynasty... If evil spirits and ghosts are rampant and the gods are unable to destroy them, but the people can seek shelter in Buddhist temples, the reputation of Buddhism today will definitely be reversed!"
"And when the day comes for the journey to the west..." The other family heads were not to be outdone, and they all made up for this plan: "If there is another big cause, even monsters attack the capital, or massacre the city... Buddhism will show its holiness again, by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, or the World-Honored One, personally took action to destroy them, and then said in front of all the people that there is a Tripitaka Sutra in the West, which can completely eliminate evil spirits..."
"Tathagata, what do you think the outcome will be?"
At this moment, Guanyin, who had experienced the Conferred God War, blurted out instantly: "Even if the King of Humans doesn't want to, he has to send people to learn the scriptures with great fanfare to calm the people!"
Back then, didn't Emperor Xin carry out humane affairs and target Chanjiao many times, causing Chanjiao to lose the heart of all souls and have to destroy the ancient world?
Tathagata looked at the excited people in the room, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was a demon or they were demons...
Even the most ferocious demon clan in the demon world will not attract enemies into their clan... But this human race, in order to live forever, can actually use such vicious tactics? Inciting foreign enemies to massacre our own race?
Sure enough, it was definitely not an accident that the three religions could not defeat the human race back then! These people are clearly more like demons than myself!
"World Honored One, what do you think of this plan?"
Seeing that Tathagata was still silent, Changsun Wuji pressed his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, looked at Tathagata and asked.
Tathagata was silent for a moment... He glanced at the heads of the aristocratic families whose faces were still flushed with excitement, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't have the guts to go straight to the heaven...
Otherwise, those people in Heaven...Buddhism will probably be eaten until their bones are left!
Well now, Heavenly Court, you are not the only ones with great wisdom and wisdom... I, the Buddhist sect, also have human allies!
"good!"
The Tathagata nodded and made a serious promise to the head of the family before him for the first time: "If the journey to the west is perfect, you can at least obtain the rank of Arhat! Maybe you will become a Buddha in the future, and it is not a lie!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
All the family heads bowed down with joy and became even more concerned about traveling to the west!
On the side, Guanshiyin did not speak a word...but was secretly calculating, otherwise, she would also accept human disciples as disciples? !
The human race is ruthless for the sake of profit, and they really don’t even care about their ancestors!
——
The aristocratic family here is discussing with Tathagata how to deal with the heaven and the royal family... On the other side, Tang Wang Li Shimin took the initiative to call the four gods Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, and Mrs. Yin into the imperial study...
As soon as they entered the door, they drove the eunuchs and maids out of the room, and the emperor and his wife went down the steps to salute.
Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin quickly ran away...
"Old Li, the three of us are just mortals after we descend to earth, and we belong to your ministers... As a human king, you only have to bow to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. For the three of us, you can be whatever you were before, and you will be whatever you will be in the future."
"Cheng Yaojin!"
Li Jing glanced at Cheng Yaojin with a warning look: "Why are you talking to the King of Humans?"
"Tch!" Cheng Yaojin didn't care: "Back in Chentangguan, I wasn't on arm's length with His Majesty... That boy Nezha had to be called Uncle Evil!~"
"Shut up!"
Li Jing was so angry at this fool that he couldn't laugh or cry. He turned around and looked at Li Shimin helplessly: "Your Majesty, King Tang, please forgive me. This fool has always been careless. He is trusted by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven in heaven. He usually serves as a personal guard general." The job is a little bit too small."
After hearing Li Jing's words, Li Shimin realized how high the status of the human king really was! At the same time, I also understood where Cheng Yaojin’s shameless energy came from!
Damn it, he is like this in front of the Emperor of Heaven... Then it's okay!
"Right Minister, don't worry. If this old man doesn't do this, I won't be used to it."
Li Shimin pointed at Cheng Yaojin and cursed with a smile... Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows proudly towards Li Jing, "Look, I said the King of Tang wouldn't care."
Li Jing shook his head speechlessly: "Your Majesty, I am just a general in this life. I don't need to care about my official position in heaven... We are here to assist you in governing the country and protect the people of the human race. We can just get along with each other normally."
"this……"
Li Shimin still wanted to be polite, but Cheng Yaojin on the side said: "Oh, Your Majesty, just listen to Li Jing. He is the most disciplined in heaven... If you don't satisfy him, he will feel uncomfortable, and you may not take him with you someday." Let the madam go to heaven."
"Then...Marshal Li, are you rude?"
When Li Shimin heard that he wanted to die, he quickly changed his explanation.
"As it should be."
Li Jing nodded, calmly... Hongfunu looked at Queen Changsun up and down, then she went over to pull her aside and whispered... Li Shimin did not stop him, and looked at the three of them: "Dear gods, I would like to meet the Emperor of Heaven again and talk about the affairs of the court today. I wonder if you can introduce him to him?"
With that said, Li Shimin turned his attention mainly to Cheng Yaojin... I have to say that although Cheng Yaojin was a mess, his relationship with Li Shimin was really good.
But Cheng Yaojin shrugged and had no intention of helping.
"Your Majesty, it's not that we, Old Cheng, won't help you! I've come down to earth, and the Emperor of Heaven has never come to see me... Besides, I'm just a reckless man, and the Emperor of Heaven only comes to earth to deal with political affairs. It's almost the same as asking Wei Gong or Marshal Li... ...We, Lao Cheng, will hit wherever His Majesty points us out!"
Cheng Yaojin spread his hands and looked like a rogue, don't come to me if you have nothing to do, and don't come to me if something happens.
"You idiot."
Li Shimin laughed angrily, completely forgetting this guy's identity as a god, pointing at him and laughing and scolding... On the side, Li Jing and Wei Zheng had deep eyes, hehe, a general who can serve as the emperor's personal guard in the heaven and have the emperor's trust is really a general. If you think he is just a fool, then this person is a real fool!
"His Majesty,"
Wei Zhenggong cupped his hands and said, "The Emperor of Heaven has not notified us, but I think he has his own plans... Instead of looking for the Emperor of Heaven, Your Majesty, it is better to think carefully about how the aristocratic family and the Buddhist sect will target Your Majesty in the future."
"Ha," at this time, Hong Funu, who was standing next to Queen Changsun, said, "What methods can the aristocratic family have? It's not like that!"
"You don't have to guess, I know that they will definitely rely on their officials in the court to tamper with the court's policies, turn good governance into bad governance, and then undermine the prestige of our gods! Who knows, they will also cause some massacres of villages , the annihilation of the clan, and it is preached that only Buddhism can solve it..."
"They only have these methods. They saw too much in Dashang back then, and they haven't changed much in this life. No, they are not as good as Dashang! At least, those who do these things in Dashang are princes!"
Speaking of this, Hong Funu turned around and glanced at Li Shimin with contempt: "You are so incompetent as a human king... How our big merchants promoted talents and the methods of cultivating talents back then are not all written in the history books. Is that so? You can’t even learn by copying it?”
"You have become a human king and the head of a clan, and you still use your family's method of exchanging interests? You are really stupid!"
The more Hongfu Nu thinks about it, the angrier she becomes. She is also a human race. However, in the past fifteen hundred years, the development of the human race has not accelerated, and feedback to the heavens... has become worse and worse, and the gods have been forced to feed back the human race...
To be honest, she really wanted to suggest that the Emperor of Heaven should simply let humanity fast forward to the era of capital or the era of communism! So angry!
"Sister Hong, stop talking..."
Queen Changsun looked at Li Shimin's embarrassed and aggrieved look, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed... she tugged on Hongfu Nu's clothes and signaled her to stop talking.
Although Hongfu Nu was not optimistic about Li Shimin, she had a good impression of Queen Changsun... She snorted coldly, held her breath and closed her mouth, stepped aside and handed over the discussion to everyone.
After all, Li Shimin is Li Shimin. He can be an emperor and is very thick-skinned! Only after a while, he smiled again and looked at Wei Zheng and Li Jing.
"What Mrs. Hong said does make some sense. My dear friends, do you think I can carry out the Great Shang national policy?"
"this……"
Li Jing and Wei Zheng looked at each other...and then both shook their heads.
"Basically impossible."
Wei Zheng said: "In those days, the great businessmen, from top to bottom, wanted to change their destiny and attack the heaven. It can be said that from officials to the people, everyone worked together... Compared to your Majesty's Tang Dynasty..."
Wei Zheng didn't know what to say. Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master Wei, you don't have to be like this. I know that my Tang Dynasty is controlled by aristocratic families and is far inferior to the great merchants of the past."
"But...it's not without a chance."
Li Jing suddenly said: "The Great Shang Dynasty was actually the same as the Tang Dynasty. There were eight hundred princes inside, and three town princes who wanted to rebel; outside, there were thousands of people coveting, and the saints and great religions were ready to move... Compared to the Tang Dynasty, it was also extremely resemblance……"
"However, there are no double-minded officials under the direct management of Dashang."
Wei Zheng reminded Li Jing... Even though the early days of the Great Shang Dynasty were a slave society, under the slave society, the Great Shang's control over their direct territories and the people under their command was much higher than in the feudal era! At least it won’t be like now, with Wang Ling not going to the countryside!
"Then make Chang'an a direct subordinate!"
At this time, Queen Changsun suddenly spoke!
