Chapter 158 New Year's Eve
Chapter 158 New Year's Eve
Xuanzheng Hall.
After listening to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's report, Li Shimin laughed and clapped the case!
"Yang Zhuo is really talented! Hahaha!"
He has seen that old demon before, he is just a weirdo who is neither male nor female!
If this goes to the country of Wa, it will become a god worshiped by the people of the country of Wa!
That old demon can definitely bring down the whole atmosphere with his own power!
"That's not the point! The point is that Yang Zhuo has printed [-] Buddhist scriptures!" Fang Xuanling is still feeling emotional now!
Ten thousand volumes!Very expensive!
"Oh? Why is he printing so many Buddhist scriptures?" Li Shimin wondered.
"He said that the Buddhist scriptures should be given to the Japanese envoy sent to the Tang Dynasty! Let Buddhism flourish in the Japanese country!" Du Ruhui explained with wide-eyed eyes.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands!
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"Although this Buddhism is said to be the belief of the people, it will indeed be detrimental to the country's economic development!" Li Shimin said.
You want to!If everyone believes in Buddhism and eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha, how can there be any national concept?
They will not care about the invasion of foreign enemies. It is nothing more than changing the open-door chanting to the closed-door chanting.
If the people believed in the Buddha, their worship of the emperor would weaken. Therefore, the imperial court did not like Buddhism very much.
However, it is not possible to openly destroy the Buddha, as that will arouse public anger.
However, Yang Zhuo gave Li Shimin a good idea to solve this problem...
"Old Fang! Old Du! Go and do something for me!" Li Shimin said.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui immediately stepped forward and listened respectfully.
"You do this..." Li Shimin ordered.
-
Day two.
The Japanese sent Tang envoys to bid farewell to Li Shimin with Yaoyao.
Li Shimin was afraid that Yaoyao would recognize him, so he purposely drew down the curtain, through which no one could see his face!
"Are all the envoys leaving?" Li Shimin was very happy, and finally wanted to leave.
However, he still spoke very reluctantly.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! We have found our true God here! I hope His Majesty will allow you to leave with us."
After finishing speaking, the Tang envoys bowed to Yaoyao respectfully.
Li Shimin couldn't help covering his mouth and giggling, Yang Zhuo, Yang Zhuo!
Your ability to fool people is not bad!To be able to make Tang envoys respect such a strange person like Yaoyao so much!
admire!admire!
"I am very pleased that all the envoys can gain something in the Tang Dynasty. Since Yaoyao Bodhisattva is destined to be with you, I can't stop it." Li Shimin said.
The Tang envoy was overjoyed!
"Yaoyao, you are the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva. This time you can represent the Great Tang Dynasty and enter the country of Japan to spread the Dharma! It is really a great merit! I have ordered someone to make a treasure book for you, give you the name of Master Wuliang, and a cassock and Zen staff, and choose a big one. There are thousands of monks in the Buddhist temple, and thousands of gold and silver. Let’s go eastward with you, and go to the country of Wa to spread the Dharma! You are in the country of Wa, you should spread the Dharma more and build more temples!” Li Shimin said.
After finishing speaking, Su Rujiang came in with the treasure book and cassock and Zen stick!
Yaoyao felt a little better again!
"Oh my god! Even the emperor agrees with the identity of the reincarnated Bodhisattva of the Lun family!" Yaoyao said happily!
Since then, the cognition of myself has gone further and further, and there is no turning back!
Yaoyao took the Zen stick and cassock!
"You're welcome! This Bodhisattva will bless you!" Yaoyao said proudly.
The Tang envoy was also shocked!
Even the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty respected Yaoyao Bodhisattva so much!They are more convinced of their choice!
-
Li Shimin specially prepared several boats, sent the envoys and monks to the Tang Dynasty, and sent them away!
"Your majesty, this method of yours has solved the problem of the expansion of Buddhism, too many people, and land occupation!" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin with a smile.
"This is thanks to Yang Zhuo, he inspired me!" Li Shimin said.
Yaoyao was a little bored in the cabin, and then she opened the books that Yang Zhuo had prepared for her.
"Sutra!"
"Sutra!"
"It's still a Buddhist scripture!"
Yaoyao pawed at the bookcase, a little disappointed.
Are there any books that are not boring? !
Just when she was disappointed, she suddenly discovered a new continent!
"This... the Treasure of Appreciating Flowers!"
"Rogue history!"
"Flower shadows across the curtain!"
After Yaoyao, read carefully.
Just as he was getting excited, a disciple suddenly came in.
"Master! This is the roster of disciples you want." The little monk came in with the roster.
Seeing the books in Yaoyao's hands, there are unsightly illustrations!
"Amitabha! Master! This book..."
Yaoyao calmly said: "Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. All I see are people's various states, but you see forms. Hurry down and continue practicing!"
The little monk was embarrassed by the words!I really feel that I am not practicing enough!
"The disciple has just started, and his concentration is insufficient! Now go down and continue to meditate!"
After the little monk left, Yaoyao sighed with emotion.
"Such a good book, we should go to Japan to promote it, so that everyone has the ability to appreciate it."
-
Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.
In a blink of an eye, it's New Year's Eve again.
The palace bedroom.
"Your Majesty, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I have ordered people to arrange the Nuo Dance." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
"Very good! I haven't watched the Nuo dance for a long time!"
Li Shimin said happily.
From his ascension to the present, Li Shimin has experienced too much, and there are too many troubles that prevent him from having fun with peace of mind.
Now with the help of Yang Zhuo, Li Shimin has solved many big problems. At this time, just in time for the Chinese New Year,
He can feel at ease and enjoy the traditional dance, the Nuo dance!
The economy, society and culture of the Tang Dynasty are simply the ceiling of the long river of ancient history!
At that time, people in the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, there would be a superstitious ceremony to drive away the plague, called "Nuo" or "Great Nuo".
This is an activity handed down from ancient times. The main thing is that on this day, boys will be selected, put on hideous masks, red and black clothes, beat drums with both hands, and dance, which is said to drive away ghosts.
The lead dancer of Nuo is called "Fang Xiangshi", and there are 12 accompanying dancers and deacons.
Because Li Shimin likes knives and guns, there will be knives and guns in Nuo dance.
Such a mighty and peculiar dance is respected by the people of Tang Dynasty!
Even Li Shimin likes this kind of performance!
"Your Majesty! Don't worry, I will arrange all of this!" Empress Changsun said.
She is the one who arranges the New Year's Eve matters in the harem. As the year approaches, she will be very busy preparing for the New Year's Eve matters!
And this Nuo dance is a must!
Li Shimin likes it very much, so it must be arranged well!
"Thank you queen!" Li Shimin said emotionally as he took the hand of empress Changsun.
"Okay, Your Majesty, the concubine still has something to do, so I'll go out first. You didn't sleep well last night, so make up for it."
Empress Changsun said with a smile.
Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "Yes! Now, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the people can have enough food and clothing. It's the end of the year, and I have nothing to worry about! I can sleep well!"
