Chapter 1615(1/2)
His Majesty,
Originally, if I took out the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures today and openly criticized them, I would have offended Buddhism.
Now when facing Manjushri Bodhisattva, he still talks like this.
This is life-threatening.
Manjushri Bodhisattva's face suddenly darkened.
He did not expect that as soon as he appeared, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would give Baiji a slap in the face.
However, the other party's attitude is so tough, which further proves that the other party has something to rely on.
"Amitabha, I wonder why your Majesty speaks like this?"
Li Shimin took the Mahayana Buddhist scripture from the side, raised it and said:
"Manjusri Bodhisattva, this is the Mahayana Buddhist sutra that Guanyin Bodhisattva once said."
"Before traveling to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva once said that this Mahayana Buddhist sutra is the supreme holy scripture of Buddhism, which can save the nation from suffering, make all living beings free from disease and disaster, and avoid reincarnation."
"If it spreads throughout the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will surely prosper."
"That's why I agreed to start the journey to the west and asked Tang Sanzang to go to the west to obtain the true scriptures."
"But now, the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are here, but they don't seem to be as magical as Buddhism says. Instead, they are full of falsehoods. Isn't this deliberately deceiving me?"
Li Shimin's words were sharp and every sentence was like a knife, but the ministers were frightened when they heard it.
It’s okay to say this yourself, after all, gods and Buddhas don’t know.
Even if you know it, seeing that you are just asking for rehmannia, maybe you will turn a blind eye because of your luck.
But now the Bodhisattva is standing in front of you. If the other party gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In fact, Li Shimin was not without pressure when facing Manjusri Bodhisattva.
But that's all he has to do today.
It is to use Manjushri Bodhisattva to destroy the majesty of Buddhism in one fell swoop.
Let these civil and military officials know that gods and Buddhas are not omnipotent.
Otherwise, if you want to implement the strategy of destroying the Buddha, you will always encounter many obstacles in the court.
Fortunately, what the ministers were worried about did not happen. Although Manjushri Bodhisattva was in a bad mood, his face remained as usual.
"Amitabha, Your Majesty, please show your understanding to Buddhism."
"The Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are here. Is there any misunderstanding?"
Li Shimin frowned.
"This Buddhist scripture is not the true Mahayana Buddhist scripture, and there are some inaccuracies in it."
The Way of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
His tone was categorical, and the ministers were shocked again and again.
Is this Mahayana sutra true?
However, didn’t His Majesty just say that this Mahayana Buddhist scripture was brought back from Lingshan by the consort himself?
The Prince Consort is a person selected by Buddhism to participate in Buddhist scripture study.
The fact that he was able to obtain the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures shows that they were given by the Buddhist sect himself.
But now Manjushri Bodhisattva insists that the Dacheng Buddha Sutra is not true. What is going on?
Li Shimin couldn't help but frown. There was no way that what Qin Ran gave him was fake.
But now Manjushri Bodhisattva says that the Sutra is false, which shows that the other party wants to pass the blame.
Buddhism is indeed shameless.
"The Bodhisattva said that this Mahayana Buddhist sutra is not the true Mahayana Buddhist sutra. How to prove it?"
"This Mahayana Buddhist sutra is the authentic Buddhist teaching of Lingshan and will not be easily spread to the world. Even Tang Sanzang, the Buddhist sutra collector, did not pass it on to the Buddha because of his dishonest intentions."
"Besides, I have seen the real Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. How could I admit my mistake?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva talks nonsense.
He naturally knows that this Mahayana Buddhist sutra is true, but he cannot admit it at this time. Once he admits it, then the Buddhist sect's responsibility will be fulfilled.
These words were so reasonable and well-founded that the ministers couldn't help but believe them.
After all, Manjushri Bodhisattva is one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism. How could such a high-level person have never seen the Tianyuan Buddhist Sutra?
Moreover, the other party looked compassionate and looked like a virtuous person, so there was no need to deceive them.
"Bodhisattva cannot lie. This should not be the true Mahayana Buddhist sutra."
"Let's just say, how can Mahayana Buddhist scriptures be so simple and straightforward?"
"Your Majesty may have been deceived and mistakenly believed that this was a Mahayana Buddhist scripture."
The ministers discussed and heaved a sigh of relief.
Originally, they were still worried whether their criticism of the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures would be heard by Manjushri Bodhisattva, and they would be punished for it.
Now, even Manjushri Bodhisattva himself said that this is not a Mahayana sutra, so naturally they will be fine.
However, while some ministers were relaxed, they turned a little worried about Li Shimin.
After all, His Majesty just said a lot of disrespectful words. If this is really a Mahayana Buddhist sutra, forget it. After all, it is just a matter of standing. But now Manjushri Bodhisattva has said that this is not the case.
Then isn't His Majesty guilty?
Being disrespectful to gods and Buddhas and wantonly slandering Mahayana Buddhism is not a small crime.
Li Shimin was also a little panicked at this time. If Manjushri Bodhisattva refuses to admit it today, things will be in trouble.
Not only is it impossible to achieve the goal of attacking Buddhism, but it is also possible that Buddhism will counterattack an entire army.
He said tentatively:
"Bodhisattva, are you sure this is not the true Mahayana Buddhist scripture? This true scripture was passed down to me by my consort Qin Ran. He once said that he got this Mahayana Buddhist scripture from Lingshan, and there is absolutely no way it is false..."
Qin Ran?
Manjushri Bodhisattva was immediately confused.
Damn it, after working on it for a long time, it turns out that Journey to the West Variables was behind this.
After being shocked, a deep fear surged in my heart.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was watching in secret, was also shocked at this time.
After working on it for a long time, it turned out that the variables of Journey to the West were secretly planned.
No wonder Li Shimin suddenly had such great ill will towards Buddhism.
It was obvious that the other party had already known all the inside stories about Journey to the West.
As a result, things became difficult to solve. If a saint took action, this time he and Manjushri were destined to be in vain.
Manjushri Bodhisattva was afraid that something was wrong and tried again:
"Your Majesty is talking about the one who accompanied Tang Sanzang to seek Buddhist scriptures in the West?"
"good."
Li Shimin nodded and glanced at Manjushri Bodhisattva strangely. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He seemed to feel Manjushri Bodhisattva shaking a few times just now.
Didn't I just mention the consort's name? Are you so nervous?
Manjushri Bodhisattva's heart suddenly became cold.
It’s over, now it’s time to kick it onto the iron plate
That was an existence that even the two saints couldn't afford to offend.
How could he be so virtuous and capable? He met him as soon as he left Lingshan Mountain.

Li Shimin looked at Manjusri Bodhisattva, who was a little dazed. He was equipped with:
"Bodhisattva, you haven't answered my question yet.
Manjushri Bodhisattva came back to his senses, adjusted his expression, pretended to look at the scripture Li Shimin was holding, and then said:
"1.3 Amitabha, ahem, I was negligent for a moment and misread it just now. Although this sutra is a little different, what is recorded in it is indeed true, Mahayana Buddhism."
If you dare to say that what the saint presented is fake, isn't that risking your life?
As soon as these words came out, Ou Wushi, who was present at the store, was stunned.
Damn it, what's going on?
Didn’t you just say that this was a lie? How come it became true in the blink of an eye?
Bodhisattva, your stance has changed too quickly.
Are you sure you're not kidding?
Not only the civil and military officials, but also Ji Shimin were dumbfounded.
He thought that lifting Qin Ran might work, but he didn't expect the effect to be so obvious.
Just by saying a name, Manjushri Bodhisattva, who had just insisted that the Buddhist scriptures were fake, immediately changed his mind.
Who is the Prince Consort?
Could it be that the emperor of the immortal world has been reincarnated?
Li Shimin was shocked and at the same time became more curious about Qin Ran.
"Bodhisattva, are you sure you are not mistaken? This Mahayana Buddhist scripture was brought out by the prince-in-law. How about we go to the prince-son-in-law's house and you can confirm it with him and then make a judgment."
Li Shimin realized something and deliberately said
