On the surface, the Journey to the West project achieved a perfect success.

But Chen Zhao's sudden appearance caused changes in everything.

He established a strong country covering an area of ​​thousands of miles between the Tang Dynasty and Lingshan. This country not only enriched the country and strong the people, but also paid attention to introducing advanced Eastern cultures, and at the same time established a rigorous intelligence (science) system.

Although Taoism is the strongest in this country, Buddhism also occupies a sufficient share.

A poet once praised: "There are 480 temples in the Ming Dynasty, and there are so many towers in the mist and rain."

It is enough to show the strength of Buddhism.

But all this has nothing to do with Lingshan.

No matter how popular the Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty were, no matter how many people worshiped, no matter how pious the faith was, it was also worshipped by the Buddha Chen Zhao.

The worshipers were also many monks who passed down the scriptures by Chen Zhao, who proved themselves to Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

Lingshan cannot be felt or enjoyed at all.

If this is the case, the Buddha will recognize it.

After all, Chen Zhao is the supreme person in the world, his country is unparalleled, and his people are rich and upward, and his Buddhist power is no weaker than Lingshan.

Even if we are fighting for the danger of division, Lingshan Buddhism may not have been able to survive the Ming Dynasty Buddhism.

So Tathagata had to swallow this breath.

However, the uncontrollable disobedience of Tang Seng’s disciples made Tathagata feel the danger of the division between the Western Buddhism and the Eastern Buddhism.

Tang Sanzang was originally the most exquisite Buddhist teachings selected among the tens of thousands of monks in the Tang Dynasty. If he completed the sutra and was granted by the Buddha Tathagata, five of them were given to him, then the leadership role of the Western Buddhist on the Eastern Land Buddhism will be further deepened.

The degree of participation of Guanyin Bodhisattva in it made the Buddhist sect of the Eastern Tang Dynasty almost under the control of Xitian Lingshan.

However, because of Kashyapa and Ananda's request for personnel, the five masters and disciples saw the wordless scripture and realized themselves as Buddha, which caused Lingshan's control over the Dongtu Buddhist sect gradually to weaken.

Although Tang Sanzang's original body is Rahula, the legitimate son of the Buddha Tathagata Shakyamuni, this does not represent anything.

It involves a dispute over ideas and a dispute over power, and the blood connection between father and son is simply not worth mentioning.

Throughout history, due to the struggle between ideas and power, there have been endless dramas of father and son fighting each other.

Tang Sanzang's sworn brother is a good example of killing his brother and jailing his father.

Especially in the Main Hall, facing the Buddha's words of "requesting for human affairs", Rahula said directly, "We have no human affairs, are you teaching the scriptures?", and faced the cracks of the East and West Buddhism directly in front of all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

The culprit of all this was Kashyapa and Ananda, who were now pressing down at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain next to Lingshan.

And these two masters are the Buddha Tathagata!

Therefore, after this news spread throughout the three realms, everyone believed that the biggest responsible person for the journey to the West was the Buddha Tathagata.

As for what would Amitabha Buddha, the ancestor of the Asura Realm, think?

Of course he would remain indifferent.

Because whether it is the Buddha realm of the Middle Land, the Buddha realm of the West, or the Buddha realm of the Ming Dynasty, those who worship Buddha devoutly will chant "Namo Amitabha."

Therefore, he would not care about the Buddha's apology for carrying the thorns and apologizing for sin.

It was only when he saw this that he apologized to Amitabha Buddha.

Lan Deng and Maitreya naturally have nothing to say about the various responses of the politician Tathagata. After all, Tathagata is the Buddha and the World Honored One. Although one is the Buddha of the past and the other is the Buddha of the future, they have no binding force on the Buddha of the present.

Maitreya Buddha watched the disappearing Buddha disappear under the Bodhi tree, suddenly sighed and wrote a verse:

"Just one is the Buddha. The most spiritual creature in the ten directions.

The wonderful use of the whole world is pitiful. Everything is not as true as the heart.

Tengteng is free and does nothing. You will become a monk after all.

If you see the real road at present, it is amazing if you don’t see any trace of it.

What is the difference between all dharmas and the mind is different? Why do you need to use the meaning of searching for scriptures?

The King of Heart is the only one who knows himself. The wise only knows the land without learning.

Is it better to be a saint or an extraordinary person? Is it true that I am not bound to distinguish the holy feelings.

Priceless heart beads are originally pure and pure. Any strange appearance is empty and empty.

People can spread the truth clearly and express their feelings. They can be infinite, noble and noble.

If you carry tin to the road to your homeland, don’t worry about not hearing any sound in the world.”

The Ancient Buddha Randeng glanced at Maitreya and knew that he had plans to experience the world. He just smiled slightly at this and was not talking about it.

...

When Tang monks and disciples rode the wind and returned to the Tang Dynasty, they were suddenly surprised to find that the territory of the Tang Dynasty had actually expanded to the Western Liang Kingdom.

The entire Northern Silk Road has fallen into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty and the Ming territories intersected, firmly occupying most of the southern continent and one-third of the territory of Xiniuhezhou. In this vast territory, hundreds of millions of people live, and all of these hundreds of millions of people believe in Chinese culture.

Their country is rich and the people are strong, their army is strong, and their culture is developed. They are the country of heaven in the hearts of all countries in the world.

What is even more rare is that these two countries are brotherly countries. The emperors on both sides are sworn brothers. There are only a few thousand people on the border, and they are also to guard against the existence of horse bandits, bandits and other bandits.

In fact, King Li Shimin of Tang dared to kill even his brother, so how could he care about this sworn brother?

In fact, he had seen Chen Zhao's heroic figure in the underworld, and he had seen him suppressing the Hell of the Underworld and obediently.

If it weren't for the help of this "righteous brother", he wouldn't have known that he would have been the emperor for a few years.

With the force of oppression of the "Yi brother", the King of Hell allowed him to enjoy the throne forty years, which allowed him to maintain brotherhood with the Ming Dynasty while being ambitious and intending to create a "Zhenguan prosperous era".

By then, I will die at the age of 68, and my son’s health and energy are in his prime and just taking over.

Therefore, Li Shimin destroyed Goryeo in the east, defeated Xueyantuo in the north, and conquered Tuyuhun all the way west, Baoxiang Kingdom, Wuji Kingdom, Chechi Kingdom, and Xiliang Kingdom. While destroying the country, he sent Taoist priests, monks, and Confucian scholars to educate, and he was determined to completely transform these countries into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Because Li Shimin realized that if the Tang Dynasty only destroyed the country but did not conquer it with civilization, these countries would fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later.

Then the bamboo basket will be useless.

Chen Zhao's main energy is also focused on governing the country.

So in the 28th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty and the 15th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Li Shimin personally led a large army to capture the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, and moved all the officials of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, such as the King, the Grand Tutor, to the east, and scattered them in the prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, and betrothed to officials at all levels.

The Queen of Xiliang, who was deeply in love with "Brother Yu", committed suicide in anger because she was forcibly adopted by Hou Junji as a concubine.

In the end, it disappeared silently in the long river of history.

At this time, Chen Zhao asked the Bull Demon King to extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain forever, commanded three thousand troops, crossed the 800-mile Flame Mountain, and hunted here with Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

"I didn't expect that this world was so vast that I almost lost my confidence!"

He said this, but his face was full of confidence.

Li Shimin is already fifty-six years old, but his years of fighting in his youth and the maintenance of the destiny of the underworld have kept his body still at its peak and his energy is still very strong.

Even he himself knew that he had at least twelve years of glorious career.

Because of the map of the Northern Silk Road sent by Chen Zhao, Li Shimin carefully arranged that every battle was fought against the rabbit, so he could destroy countless countries in succession, and also made the Uighurs, Xue Yantuo and other tribes in the north respect and fear him.

Therefore, although it took sixteen years to conquer the Northern Silk Road, his conquest was a complete conquest, and the number of local Han people had an absolute advantage.

"Yes, this world is very big. Under the control of his brother, the influence of the Tang Dynasty also quickly spread to the small half of Xiniu Hezhou!"

Chen Zhao chuckled and said, "In terms of the martial arts of literature and martial arts, Your Majesty can be said to be the emperor of the ages, even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors cannot compare with them. The dynasty is prosperous, and I hope the Tang Dynasty can continue to be so glorious!"

Nowadays, not only the four continents, but also the distant Persia, the Great Shi and the Great Qin, are well-known for the name of Emperor Tang Li Shimin, knowing that he was a wise ruler in the prosperous era.

"My brother, although I am the emperor of the world, I have also heard of your status in the fairy world. It is said that even the Buddha of Tathagata dares to preach the Dharma here. It shows that you are powerful and have a wide range of knowledge, so I have some advice."

"Brother, please tell me."

"Since my virtuous brother mentioned the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors just now, I want to know, after I die, can I live with the Heaven and Earth like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, with their merits to the human race and their great reputation, were all famous after their merits were fulfilled, and they lived with the heaven and earth, shining with the sun and the moon, which made the emperors of later generations very envious!

Li Shimin was naturally one of them, especially when he got older, he yearned for immortality. However, he was more rational and knew that the emperor had basically no chance to live forever. In ancient times, many wise monarchs were not safe in their later years. Didn’t they just seek immortality and make the court unrealized, which caused chaos in the people’s livelihood?

There are too many legends about this virtuous brother in front of him, and Li Shimin saw Chen Zhao’s big fuss in the underworld with his own eyes, so he naturally had such doubts and wanted to ask in person.

"Brother, I really have great ambitions. Then I will tell you that I want to live with the world like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but!" Chen Zhao said with a smile.

The reason why the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors lived with the heaven and earth is that they have made great achievements and have a very high status in the minds of the Chinese people, so they can obtain the qualification to shine with the sun and the moon by virtue of their merits.

"I... understand!"
