Chapter 603 Get the First Merit of Journey to the West

Li Shimin and the others turned pale with shock after hearing this, but considering that Shi Zhongkui is a real god, he must have a different attitude towards money from those practitioners in the world.

Besides, he has four hundred treasuries hidden in the underworld, a total of four hundred million taels of silver, how can he value the land rent and filial piety in the world.

Li Shimin endured the expectation in his heart, and asked kindly, "What does the son-in-law mean?"

Naturally, Shi Zhongkui would not object to going west, and he also wanted to draw cakes.

He wanted to try it out, whether he could get the merit of Journey to the West just by making the emperor make up his mind to send people westward to learn Buddhist scriptures.

"Your Majesty is the Human Emperor, and all the people in the world are your subjects, and you should do anything that can help the human race prosper.

Not only can it stabilize Li Tang's country, but when your majesty dies and returns to the underworld, the underworld will also judge his merits for your majesty, and there will be rewards from heaven.

Even the leader of the Human Cult will grant His Majesty a reward for his contribution to the human race.

At that time, His Majesty may be lucky enough to become one of the few emperors who can go to the place where the Three Emperors practiced to listen to the teachings.

That is the only way for the emperor to achieve longevity. "

After finishing speaking, Shi Zhongkui explained why the emperor couldn't practice immortality.

Li Shimin was ecstatic after hearing this, and the six princes were also full of longing, staring at Shi Zhongkui with piercing eyes.

It's just that when they thought that there was only one throne, the five princes couldn't help but subconsciously look at Prince Li Chengqian.

The prince felt a chill down his back for an instant, and glanced over, and immediately saw Li Tai who was somewhat rebellious, Li You and Li Yin with cold eyes.

There are also Li Ke with twinkling eyes and Li Zhi who is so frightened that he bows his head and dare not look at him.

Li Chengqian subconsciously ruled out Li Zhi's threat.

It's not that he didn't realize that Li Zhi was also threatening, but the younger brothers in front were more threatening.

Moreover, his own father himself did not inherit the great treasure as the eldest son, but relied on mutiny to become the throne.

With this shining example, the one who cares the least about the majesty of Prince Li Chengqian is of course Li Tai, who is the second child like Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian was already having trouble sleeping and eating just because of this younger brother who was a compatriot of the same mother.

There is also a third younger brother, Li Ke, who is similar to his own father, staring at him. Just thinking about it, you can understand how much pressure Li Chengkun is under.

If Queen Changsun was not still alive, the brothers would have been beaten to death.

And it is also because Empress Changsun, the only empress who can persuade and influence Li Shimin, is still alive. For more than two years, Li Shimin has been trying his best to suppress the struggle between his sons.

But today something is different.

If it was before seeing Shi Zhongkui, Li Shimin would definitely teach him a few words, so as not to raise the intensity of the prince's rivalry to another level.

But with the fact that Shi Zhongkui brought Li Zhi by his side and entered the Daming Palace together, Li Shimin suddenly felt in his heart that it is not impossible to fight and fight.

The older princes in the front are fighting each other. If there is really someone who can win the championship, then don't think too much about it, and the best one will be established.

And I still have 20 years to live, so I have to determine who will inherit the throne early, and when it is not guaranteed, it will be another Xuanwumen change.

If the previous emperors are not good enough, wouldn't there still be Li Zhi as a backup?

Twenty years later, the pheasant slave is only 20 years old, and he is in the prime of life, and after 31 years of training, his experience and vision will not be bad.

So Li Shimin pretended not to see the expressions of the six sons.

But he forgot that just this attitude is enough to show that he, as a father, treats Prince Li Chengqian differently from before.

Even if Li Tai and the others didn't realize it for a while, when they went back to talk to the subordinate officials and officials close to the palace, someone must be aware of this.

At that time, the prince's situation will definitely be more difficult.

No, maybe Li Shimin has realized this, but he is an emperor, and he is still an emperor who has 20 years of life.

If it were anyone, he would not want to see the prince's power become stronger and threaten his throne.

It's about imperial power, so what's the relationship between father and son?
Unless, like Emperor Wuzong Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty, his father was only his son, and his health had never been very good, he could act recklessly and do whatever he wanted.

In the end, even the ministers could only let him mess around, there was really no other choice.

Li Shimin ignored the thoughts of the princes, and said to Shi Zhongkui with a smile, "Since my son-in-law does not object, I will order people to post the imperial list tomorrow to recruit candidates who will go west to learn Buddhist scriptures."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Zhongkui instantly felt that a large group of purple virtues descended from the sky.

In three or two strokes, it increased by a full fifty thousand.

Although compared to the millions of merits in the Space Farm, [-] doesn't seem like much.

But when Shi Zhongkui was still in the world of the Red Chamber, he only paid a few points of filial piety, a dozen points of merit to Wuqu Xingjun and Wenchang Emperor, these gods treated him with kindness and amiability.

Even after entering the Heavenly Court and occupying the Imperial Horse Prison, there will only be five points of merit in a jar of merit and virtue immortal wine.

Send a hundred jars to Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, two saints, even the saints are very satisfied with this gift.

Of course, the sage doesn't care about this kind of merit, what he values ​​more is Shi Zhongkui's filial piety.

But for the immortals in the heaven, the meritorious wine is a treasure.

Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, and many gods who are friends with each other, even the moon never falls, every time they want to invite them to Shi Zhongkui's house for a banquet.

It can be seen that this merit is indeed difficult to obtain.

Shi Zhongkui secretly thought, no wonder the Tathagata Buddha used Journey to the West to win people over, so many big bosses are willing to cooperate.

That is, Taishang Laojun and Taiyi Daoist will cooperate with the Buddhist school and place disciples and mounts on the way west to learn scriptures to rob merits.

Golden Horn and Silver Horn went down to earth, but South China Sea Bodhisattva begged several times before agreeing.

It's just that Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao are too stupid to beat a good hand of cards.

But that's it, Sun Houzi cried three times in a row during the Battle of Pingdingshan, and he spurted blood from his seven orifices, almost belching here.

I used up all the skills I could, and finally went through all kinds of difficulties before I successfully passed this level.

After reaping the benefits, Shi Zhongkui became more active in the matter of snatching Jiujiu81.

Seeing that Li Shimin wanted to put up a list to recruit people to learn Buddhist scriptures, he hurriedly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures must go through thousands of difficulties. If it is not for those who are determined and dedicated to seeking Buddhist scriptures for the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely not be able to find the real scriptures."

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "It's a long way to learn the scriptures, and there must be monsters blocking the way. I understand the difficulties, but why does my son-in-law say, 'I can't find the scriptures'?"

"Your Majesty, the Tathagata Buddha of the Western Paradise sent Bodhisattvas eastward not on a whim, but because he wanted to spread the Dharma to the east. If the person who learned the Buddhist scriptures is a Taoist disciple, or an ordinary person or an official, does His Majesty think that the Buddha is willing to pass down the Buddhist scriptures?"
