Chapter 94: Journey to the West? Journey to the West? Obtain the Scriptures? (Ch 94)

【Regulation on Buddhism.】
[Naturally, the news quickly reached the monks.]
【“Observe the laws of Yuguo.”】
[“Under the control of the imperial court.”]
【“Everything must be approved and agreed to!”】
[“This…isn’t it just to make us dogs?!”]
【After listening to these requests. 】
[Many monks’ first reaction was anger! ]
【because.】
【They think.】
[Even in the pre-inheritance period. ]
[They have more of a cooperative relationship with the family. ]
[The noble families provide them with what they want, and they help to appease the emotions of the people, so that the latter will willingly give up struggling and wait for the so-called reincarnation! ]
[Even though they were slaughtered over and over again by the former Empress Ji Qingluo, many temples that went too far were directly razed to the ground! ]
[But even so, they have never been asked to accept such outrageous regulations! They have never thought that they would be forced to be dogs! ]
[“When did you develop the illusion that you were not a dog?”]
[The Master Xinkong, who was considered to be the reincarnation of a great monk, suddenly spoke like this.]
[This immediately silenced the monks.]
[“Even in the previous period, we were just serving the noble families like dogs! They gave us some leftovers and let us bear the wrath of His Majesty and the people.”]
[“Now we are both dogs, but serving Emperor Yu is better than serving others. The prosperity of Yu State is rare in history. Even if we are only allowed to preach, it will be enough for us to gain a lot.”]
[“If you are so courageous, then leave Yu State on your own and don’t bring disaster to the temples that remain. Anyway, I don’t think there is anything wrong with being a dog for Emperor Yu.”]
[“Some people want to be this dog, but they can’t!”]
【Master Xinkong turns and leaves.】
[The other monks looked unhappy.]
【But finally. 】
[They can only choose to accept it! ]
【”otherwise.”】
[“Emperor Yu will really destroy our temple!”]
[“It’s just like crushing the aristocratic families in the past!”]
【The next day.】
【The Buddhist Dharma Assembly proceeded smoothly. 】
[However, many believers felt a little strange, because there were actually more government officials responsible for maintaining order at the Dharma Assembly this time. But upon closer inspection, it seemed more like… they were supervising the Dharma Assembly!]
[“What’s going on?!”]
[These believers were puzzled, while some who knew the inside information kept silent.]
[Even if they have heard about Buddhism and feel that your majesty’s regulations are a bit excessive, but they are asked to uphold justice for Buddhism, then forget it.]
[They just believe in a religion, not that they want to run away from home. As for gathering believers to cause riots, they must be tired of living! ]
[“Your Majesty’s sword… can really kill people!”]
【At the end of the same month. 】
【Since Master Xinkong was the first to agree to the conditions and the first to kneel down and be a dog, the Prime Minister decided to give him a chance to see him.】
【And Master Xinkong was also very sensible and didn’t talk nonsense. He directly asked about the confusion in his heart: “As a person from Yu Country, I should make contributions to Yu Country, but these few days, no matter how hard I think, I don’t know what kind of things I need to do.”】
[Since you have decided to be a dog, you must work hard to climb up, show your own value, and become the best dog among dogs. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to kneel down so quickly! ]
[The Prime Minister, who had a deep conversation with His Majesty, said meaningfully: “Today, our country of Yu is vast and rich in resources, and lacks nothing, but your Buddhism is different, and some scriptures do not exist in our Central Plains.”]
【Master Xinkong was no fool, and he immediately understood the meaning of those words.】
[“The imperial court wants us monks to travel to the West? To travel to the West to obtain the true scriptures?!”]
…
“You are still called a master for this?”
“You’re still called a reincarnated monk?”
“Kneel faster than anyone else!”
“Being a dog is more active than anyone else!”
“It’s a disgrace to Buddhism!!!”
Looking at the deduced scene, the doctor of the Ministry of Shrines started cursing.
He had a lot of contact with Buddhism and Taoism on a daily basis, so naturally he knew Master Xinkong.
But no one would have thought that Master Xinkong, who had luckily survived the turbulent times, had no intention of resisting at all in the face of Chen Huaixin’s humiliating request, and he knelt down faster than anyone else!
Even if we cannot confront Chen Huaixin head-on, we should at least try other methods!
For example, he called on monks to sit in meditation in Chang’an City, and called on faithful men and women to join in hunger strike protest. Even if Chen Huaixin was ruthless, he couldn’t possibly massacre so many people in the streets of Chang’an City…right? !
The doctor of the Ministry of Shrines was filled with indignation.
But Ji Changling sneered and said, “If it were someone else, that would be fine. But as a civil servant, how can you be qualified to say that monks are more active as dogs than others?”
“In the future predicted by the Jian Tian Mirror, every time the kingdom is shattered and the artifact changes hands, you will kneel down faster than anyone else and be the first to serve the new master as dogs!”
“Why, you can do it but others can’t? He is called the shame of Buddhism, so should you also call it the shame of civil officials? Or is it not a shame because everyone does it?!”
Being ridiculed like this.
The doctor from the Ministry of Shrines turned red in the face and his blood boiled.
This also made Ji Changling understand that when facing those shameless people who confuse right and wrong, there is no need to talk about reason.
Just start spraying and it’s over!
“Your Highness the Second Princess is going too far!”
Some ministers looked at Ji Changling.
But Ji Changling just sneered and said, “What happened? Isn’t this the truth? Or are you allowed to be dogs and others are not allowed to say anything?!”
“you……”
The minister was angry.
But when noticed.
After Ji Qingluo’s cold gaze.
He quickly shut his mouth. There was nothing he could do about this kind of biased behavior except to endure it!
Wang Qianhe naturally heard the quarrel, but he didn’t care at all. After all, this was not the first or second time it happened.
His eyes were fixed on the Mirror of Heaven, and confusion appeared on his face.
“Journey to the West?”
“Westward?”
“Let the monks get the scriptures?!”
“But Yuguo doesn’t lack this thing!”
If it is said that the Yu Kingdom promoted Buddhism as the state religion, then this matter can still be explained. Going west to obtain the true scriptures can also be called a political act.
However, Chen Huaixin did not have this attitude towards religion. Even if there were really monks who obtained the true scriptures, he would definitely not take it seriously!
“But why… does he still do this?!”
