Chapter 241: Proclaimed Emperor, Supreme Title
Lingshan was completely silent.
After a long time, Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed softly:
"Ten thousand years ago, Maitreya Buddha died, and today the Tathagata of Glazed Light has fallen again."
The Buddhas looked at each other, the Bodhisattva was silent, the Arhat was still, and the Vajra was trembling.
After another long while, Sakyamuni Tathagata, who was sitting at the top, opened his eyes and said calmly:
"There is something very fishy about the death of the pharmacist. I see signs of Daoguo's involvement."
The group of Buddhas were shocked, Tao fruit?
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said in a deep voice:
"World Honored One, do you mean that the First Emperor Zhongfu, named Xuanhuang, is related to the Taoist Fruit?"
Sakyamuni Tathagata smiled, his eyes were deep, and he did not answer, but said:
"In the central heaven, the Emperor of Heaven has sent Taibai Jinxing and Santan Haihui to the human world to seek peace. Who among you is willing to go to Xianyang on earth to negotiate peace with Xuanhuang?"
After a pause, he continued:
"After all, if the First Emperor really carries out the act of destroying Buddhism, believers in the world will be severely damaged, and the fortune of our Buddhist sect will also plummet."
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were astonished, but no one spoke up; they were all silent.
The First Emperor had just issued an edict to destroy the Buddha, and the black and yellow hides a great terror. With a touch of his hand, an ancient Buddha in the [All Heavens Realm] was completely wiped out.
After hesitating for a moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva whispered:
"World Honored One, if a great Bodhisattva or an ancient Buddha goes there, there is a possibility of disaster. Lingshan has lost a [Great Luo] and a [Devas] one after another. It cannot withstand great losses anymore."
"That makes sense." Sakyamuni Tathagata nodded. Standing beside the ancient Buddha with a bruised nose and swollen face, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and he looked cautiously.
At this moment, he and Sakyamuni are the only Buddhas at the [Daluo] level in Lingshan.
as expected.
Sakyamuni Tathagata smiled and said:
"Then I'll trouble you to go there again, Buddha Deng Deng, okay?"
The corner of Ran Deng's mouth twitched, and after a long while, he said helplessly:
"Since the World Honored One has already asked me for help, how can I refuse?"
He Shi Shiran stood up and sighed:
"I'm going, I'm going."
As he said that, Ran Deng Buddha felt sad and stepped forward towards the outside of Daleiyin Temple. Every step was mixed with sadness.
We don’t know about other ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but as a [Great Luo], he can travel through the ages, how can we not know?
According to the [Goddess]’s narrative, this Xuanhuang is probably Xuanqing.
He is a member of Taishang's lineage, a direct descendant of Yuanshi, a beloved disciple of Shangqing, and is also related to Taiyi's plan, and is regarded as her own son by the goddess.
This Xuanhuang is really terrifying!
If you get entangled with such a person, it's normal for you to die or die!
How sad!
The heart of the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng was raised, and he completely walked out of the Great Leiyin Temple. He took another step and walked hundreds of millions of miles. The Buddha's clothes were hunting in the wind, which had the charm of the wind rustling and the water cold.
"Amitabha." In the middle of the Great Thunder Sound Temple, Sakyamuni Tathagata clasped his hands together and smiled slightly.
………………
Xianyang, Qin Palace.
At this time, the court had not yet gone to court, and the courtiers were waiting outside the palace, talking a lot.
Li Si pondered:
"But I don't know what happened on Mount Tai. The hundreds of thousands of black armors who turned back didn't say a word."
On the side, Lu Buwei said thoughtfully:
"Your Majesty did not describe this matter. There were lightning strikes and heavy rains on Mount Tai, and the fate of our country, the Qin Dynasty, also experienced great turmoil. Lord Wu An, you seemed to have been in Mount Tai at that time?"
Wu Anjun raised his eyelids and said calmly:
"Since your Majesty has never publicized it, he must have his reasons. It is best for the king not to pry."
Lu Buwei's expression was stagnant, but he didn't say much. He just forced a smile for a moment and asked again:
"Well, I also heard that His Majesty met his father-in-law in Mount Tai. Isn't this a secret?"
Wu Anjun glanced at Lu Buwei strangely and said:
"It's true."
Lu Buwei and Li Si looked at each other and their expressions darkened.
Wu Anjun coughed lightly:
"I advise you two not to have any evil intentions. Your Majesty respects that gentleman very much, and we are not on the same level as him."
He gave a veiled warning, fearing that the two men's fight for power would end up with Xuan Huang.
An ancient Buddha may have perished on Mount Tai. The great man shouted a question, causing all the immortals and gods to disperse like birds and beasts!
Lu Buwei and Li Si looked at each other again. The former looked slightly gloomy, but said with a smile:
"Why did Mr. Wu An say this? I'm just curious about when your Majesty will have another father-in-law."
Before he finished speaking, the courtiers waiting outside the palace heard the sound of footsteps, and Lu Buwei and others all looked sideways.
But he saw a young man wearing a mask and a silent Taoist priest who looked very old-fashioned. They didn't know when they had arrived, and they were walking up the white jade stairs.
"Wait a minute." Li Sigang was about to frown and ask, but he saw Mr. Wu An swaying and stepped forward:
"I've met my lord."
Under the astonished eyes of the courtiers, Lord Wu An bowed to the young man wearing the mask and showed great respect.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. Just when they were confused about who this person was, they saw the First Emperor rushing out of the palace. He did not even wear the twelve-beaded jade crown and made a salute in front of countless courtiers:
"Father Zhong!!"
The officials were in an uproar, and Lu Buwei and Li Si all changed their expressions.
Your Majesty, has this passed? ?
Immediately, the young man wearing a mask nodded, walked forward with the old-fashioned Taoist priest, and said with a smile:
"This is my senior brother, called Luo Hou, who has been cultivating in the deep mountains and forests for many years and has entered the world for the first time."
After a pause, he smiled again and said:
"Now that you are in charge, there is no need for such a big ceremony. Let's enter the palace."
Zheng. Zheng'er? ?
The officials' expressions changed again. Since the unification of His Majesty the First Emperor, except Duke Mugong of Qin, who dares to call His Majesty "Zheng'er"? ?
Even a state head like Lu Buwei wouldn’t dare!
However, the First Emperor straightened up and bowed again:
"Yes, Father Zhong."
The officials were in an uproar.
Afterwards, the First Emperor welcomed Lu Xuan and Xuandu into the palace. After a long silence, the courtiers also entered the hall one after another.
Yan Huang, who was at the end of the crowd, looked at each other with Liu Bang, Zhang Jifeng and Wang Zhiyao. Liu Bang sighed and said:
"His Majesty the First Emperor came out of the main hall to greet him."
Yan Huang smiled bitterly:
"But it's normal. It should be like this, isn't it?"
"Too."
They stopped talking, each hiding their thoughts, and then they all became a little excited and entered the court of the First Emperor.
Liu Bang never thought, let alone Yan Huang and the other three, that they all came from later generations, and he felt agitated and uneasy in his heart.
After entering the main hall, the First Emperor ordered two large seats to be placed on the side. Lu Xuan and Xuandu were placed on them. Lu Buwei's eyes were a little red.
He doesn't even get this treatment!
Immediately, accompanied by the shouts of the ministers, the First Emperor looked solemn and said solemnly:
"There are only three things to do in court today."
The hall fell silent, everyone was listening.
"First, the Zen ceremony in Taishan has been completed. During the ceremony, there was an evil Buddha who disturbed me. He committed a heinous crime. He passed on my decree to collect Buddhist scriptures from all over the world and burn them in a torch. All monks who do not return to secular life will be killed. This is why."
"Destroy the Buddha."
As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar.
Li Si stood up and said worriedly:
"Your Majesty, think twice. Burning books and entrapping Buddha may anger Lingshan. At that time"
"So what?" Ying Zheng said coldly: "When I was enshrined in Zen, the Medicine Master King Buddha was causing trouble and depriving me of the destiny of the Qin Dynasty for 10,000 and 8,000 years. This is already a mortal enemy."
The ministers were in an uproar again. Apparently they had just learned about this incident. Those who had witnessed the changes in Taishan kept it secret and had not yet spread it.
After a pause, the First Emperor said again:
"This second thing."
He looked at 'Father Zhong' on the big seat to the side, with a smile on his face:
"I want to crown my father-in-law [Emperor], what do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the courtiers all changed, and the whole temple was filled with excitement!
"No!"
Lu Buwei stood up with an ugly expression:
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. Throughout the ages, how can anyone be crowned emperor? There can only be one emperor in the world, and that is your Majesty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Si also said anxiously: "You can be made a marquis, or even a king, but the emperor has passed, passed!"
Except for Lord Wu An, all the ministers were obviously anxious and trying to persuade him.
"quiet."
The First Emperor spoke calmly, and his great majesty swept out, silencing all the officials.
"My decision has been made. I am the emperor, but my father-in-law is the king. How can this be the case?"
After a pause, he looked at Lu Xuan and his voice slowed down:
"What do you think, Father Zhong?"
Lu Xuan chuckled:
"Anything goes."
"Good." The First Emperor nodded and said: "It is my will that Zhongfu Xuanhuang, Pingtai Mountain, be the Immortal Buddha of Chaos. His achievements are unparalleled and he should be given the title of 'Emperor' and crowned with 'Supreme'."
"This is for"
Ying Zheng stood up with a smile:
"Xuanhuang has no God."
The ministers were in an uproar again. Some veterans were heartbroken, some civil servants came forward to remonstrate, and some military generals were trembling with anger. They didn't understand what happened to His Majesty.
Only Yan Huang and the three people standing side by side with Liu Bang at the end looked stunned and dumbfounded.
Xuanhuang has no God.
The Xuanhuangwu God enshrined in Longhu Mountain!
They looked at each other, they were all in a trance, and they were all at a loss. There was a cold air coming out of their tailbones and reaching all over their bodies!
"quiet."
The First Emperor spoke again and said coldly:
"I have made up my mind. If anyone tries to persuade me again, I will kill him immediately. If anyone wants to die and advise me, I can kill myself on this pillar."
The civil servants who had been admonishing silently retreated. Lu Buwei and Li Si also silenced their voices, but their eyes were still full of surprise and confusion, with three big characters written on their faces.
Why? ?
After a long time, seeing that all the ministers were silent, Ying Zheng nodded:
"This matter is finalized before discussing the third matter."
He looked at Lu Xuan and asked softly:
"Father Zhong, do you have any advice on national policy?"
All the ministers looked at him sideways.
Sitting on the big seat, Lu Xuan glanced at the senior brother next to him who had his eyes closed and was concentrating, turning a blind eye to everything, and then chuckled:
"It really does."
"Father Zhong, please speak." The First Emperor said quickly.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, his eyes deepened, national policy.
Just as he said to Senior Brother Xuandu before, conquering the heavens through human means cannot be achieved in a day. It should be done slowly, or it may take thousands of years, but it is just an ordinary way.
Immediately, Lu Xuan raised his head and said calmly:
"It's also three things. One of them is that there are monsters running rampant in the far north, and there are also evil gods and disaster stars dormant. They are all ready to move. However, chaos has emerged. We must build the Great Wall to protect our human race."
The ministers looked at each other, and Ying Zheng nodded seriously:
"I remember it."
"Secondly, I observe that the heavens are gradually becoming chaotic and the tribulation energy is overflowing. I should build 365 towers to the sky in all directions to suppress the tribulation energy in the world and the destiny of my human race."
"I remember it."
"Thirdly, when the Qin Dynasty has just become a unified country and has not yet stabilized, it is necessary to send people to travel through the mountains and rivers, record the names of the gods, and order all the lands to protect only one area. There must be no natural disasters such as drought, flood, waterlogging, snow, etc., and everyone in the world must be protected. The fields are fertile and the people are safe and happy. If there is any disobedience, just kill it and show it to the public."
"I remember it."
Ying Zheng answered seriously, but Lu Buwei couldn't hold it in any longer and took a step forward, panting:
"Your Majesty, just build the Great Wall, and you also need to build 365 towers to the sky at the same time. Such a project will waste people and money, and may shake the country's foundation."
He reasoned:
"Ignoring everything else for the moment, our Qin Dynasty unified the country at the beginning and the national treasury is empty. Even if we recruit corvees, it will not be possible. On the contrary, it will make people from all over the world complain."
"Don't worry, Sir." Lu Xuan said calmly: "Whether it's building the Great Wall or building the Sky Tower, it's not a day's work. It can be built within ten thousand years, and you can work on it slowly."
"Ten thousand years??" Lu Buwei exclaimed: "Why do you, the emperor, say this? It takes ten thousand years to build a pass and build 365 towers to the sky. How ridiculous, how ridiculous!!"
All the ministers also agreed.
Behind him, Liu Bang listened to the arguments among his ministers, shrank his neck, looked sideways and asked in a low voice:
"What do you think of that person's so-called plan?"
Yan Huang recovered from his sluggishness and sighed softly:
"I don't know about the three hundred and sixty-five towers that reach the sky, but that Great Wall will definitely be beneficial to all generations."
"Why did you say that?" Liu Bang was confused, but Yan Huang just shook his head and did not explain. He just looked at the arguing ministers silently.
Some civil servants said angrily:
"Also, how is it possible to record the names of gods and force them to protect and ensure good weather? This will offend all the gods on earth, and cause disasters everywhere just like in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
"yes!!"
Lu Buwei said in pain:
"In the Spring and Autumn Years, the gods were angry and disasters occurred everywhere. Fortunately, Saint Lu traveled all over the world to quell the disasters. But now if we have offended many gods, we would not have Saint Lu anymore."
Before he finished speaking, a guard came in a hurry:
"Report!"
"The great gods of Taibaijinxing and Santanhaihui from heaven are here in person, asking to see Emperor Xuanhuang!"
The voices of arguments and remonstrances stopped at the same time.
