Chapter 1653 Ambition!
"Bodhisattva, please stay in Chang'an City for a few days. I will send people to invite all the eminent monks to come to Chang'an." After hearing Guanyin's words, Li Shimin's expression did not change and he said calmly.
It's just that no one noticed the fleeting look of teasing in Li Shimin's eyes when he spoke.
Guanyin nodded to Li Shimin, then stepped directly onto the lotus platform and disappeared into the Golden Palace.
After Guanyin left, Li Shimin's expression suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Buddhism is really rude. If it is allowed to rise during this calamity, I don't know what trouble it will cause!"
After finishing speaking, Li Shimin looked at the important ministers below, his eyes fell on the two slender men of letters who exuded a faint aura, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Zhengfangxuanling listens to the order!"
"I'm here!" As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the two people walked out of the queue and said respectfully to Li Shimin.
"Wei Zheng, you go to Fahua Temple immediately and ask my sworn brother to come over and ask him to find me in the Imperial Study Room," Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said in a deep voice.
"Wei Chen takes the order!" Wei Zheng nodded to Li Shimin and said respectfully.
"Fang Xuanling," Li Shimin's eyes fell on Fang Xuanling, "you immediately send someone to invite the eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an and arrange them in Honglu Temple."
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed.
Honglu Temple, like the Great Honglu in the Han Dynasty, was in charge of matters related to foreign tribes and vassals. Li Shimin asked him to place those eminent monks in Honglu Temple. The purpose of this is naturally self-evident!
His Majesty, the King of Tang, has completely classified Buddhism as a heretic and a foreign race!
And by arranging those eminent monks in Honglu Temple, I also wanted to take the opportunity to beat them and make them be more honest and stop daydreaming all day long!
As for who should be the person to take the scriptures, Fang Xuanling already had some thoughts in mind.
"Wei Chen accepts the order," Fang Xuanling nodded to Li Shimin and chuckled, "Wei Chen will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."
Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin knew that his right-hand man had understood what he meant, so he smiled and said softly: "Then I will be waiting for your good news."
After speaking, Li Shimin looked at the attendant beside him and said calmly: "Retreat from the court."
"Retreat from the court——"
The attendant beside Li Shimin heard Li Shimin's words and shouted loudly.
The courtiers quickly left the Jinluan Palace, and Li Shimin also left the Jinluan Palace under the protection of several soldiers and went to the imperial study.
Not long after Li Shimin arrived at the imperial study, Wei Zheng walked into the imperial study with a seven-foot-tall young monk wearing gray monk robes and nine scars on his head.
"Your Majesty, I have invited His Highness here," Wei Zheng bowed to Li Shimin and said respectfully, "I will take my leave first."
"Go ahead," Li Shimin waved his hand, then looked at the young monk and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, there is no need to be formal. I invite you here today because I have something to discuss with my brother-in-law."
"Is this the sworn brother's business for Buddhism?" The young monk smiled at Li Shimin and said, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva entered Chang'an. Even my little brother has heard about such a big thing.
I am afraid that only the Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Buddhism behind him can make you so afraid, my sworn brother. "
"You guessed it right." Li Shimin nodded, got up and walked to the door of the royal study. After looking around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, he said to the young monk: "Brother Wei plans to take this opportunity to divide Buddhism. !”
