Chapter 988 The National Teacher of the Empire (Second update, please subscribe)
The morning sun shines unreservedly on the Brazilian plateau. Among the dense forests, a black BMW car is driving along the secluded road. The sun shines through the branches and leaves of the trees on both sides of the road and sprinkles on the ground.

Li Nanqi, who was sitting in the car, was resting with his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something.

"My lord, we will arrive at Da Chongjiao Temple in a while."

Li Nanqi responded lightly to the secretary's reminder, but did not speak.

After the car drove for a while, he opened his eyes when he heard the faint sound of chanting sutras in the air, and the Da Chongjiao Temple on the mountain in the distance had already come into his sight.

In the bright sunshine, in the monastery, hundreds of lamas are doing morning lessons with prayer beads in hand.The solemn chanting sound echoed in the valley.

Da Chongjiao Temple is located on a mountain more than 70 kilometers southeast of Zhongdu. The golden roof of the temple built on the mountain is dazzling in the sun. This large-scale temple was built by Emperor Zhu himself. The temple was built entirely with ancient Chinese methods, and the giant trees used in the main hall were all locally produced.In the hall, there are colorful paintings on the walls, carved beams, painted buildings, golden couches, jade statues, embroidered blankets, floor-to-ceiling banners, high-hanging pearls and treasures, and luxurious furnishings.

As soon as he entered the temple, Li Nanqi breathed strands of sandalwood in the air, and his expression immediately became quite solemn. Being in the majestic and magnificent temple, anyone would feel a sense of insignificance.

"My lord, the King of Dharma is here to invite you."

The monk's respectful announcement interrupted Li Nanqi's thoughts.So he hurriedly put away his thoughts and straightened his clothes and followed the monk's guidance into the living room.I saw Dharma King Dazhi sitting cross-legged in the hall in a golden cassock, looking solemn and mysterious under the sunlight.

"Meet the king."

"Your Majesty Li, please be seated." The Great Wisdom Dharma King said slowly.

The lord in front of him is the Shaoqing of the Imperial Shanshiyuan. The Shanshiyuan is an institution set up by the empire to manage the country's emphasis on religion. It is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the abbots of the famous temples and church priests in the country. Of course, it is also in charge of the reincarnation of the Dharma kings.

Even if you are a Dharma king, you are very respectful to such a present manager.After a few simple polite words, His Holiness asked.

"I don't know why my lord came to the temple for this matter?"

As the Dharma King of Great Wisdom, he naturally knows what it means to "go to the Hall of Three Treasures for nothing". He felt very deeply.

Just like Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty canonized his ancestor as "Great Wisdom Dharma King", the Ming Empire sent him an invitation to go to Yingtian. For the Great Wisdom Dharma King who has been silent for hundreds of years and whose influence is fading away, he is very happy. accepted the opportunity.

In fact, there was no room for him not to accept it. At that time, Gansu was occupied by Shi Dakai's Heavenly Kingdom soldiers. They believed in God, and there was no room for him there.

Therefore, Dharma King Dazhi came to Daming with thousands of books and hundreds of monks, and he took root in Daming. At the beginning of the construction of Zhongdu, the court did not forget them. Da Chongjiao Temple.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty highly respected him, and not only re-canonized him as "Great Wisdom Dharma King", but also canonized him as "Great Master of Jingjue Tzu Chi".

Of course?
He also paid a small price, such as the responsibility of the imperial center for the inheritance and reincarnation of the Dharma King, such as the Chinese missionary.But what he got in exchange was the full support of the empire for him.

"Actually, this official came here at the emperor's order."

"Ah, why didn't your lord say it earlier!"

Only then did the Dharma King, who felt that he was impolite, hurriedly stood up and said respectfully:

"I don't know what His Majesty's intentions are."

"Oh, His Majesty is very polite, please take your seat."

After he sat down again, Li Nanqi continued to speak.

"Your Majesty said that this is not the will. In the past few years, the disciples of the Dharma King have spread Buddhism in the African colonies. They have built no less than [-] temples, and the achievements of attracting millions of believers are obvious to all. Your Majesty is very pleased."

The news brought by Li Nanqi made His Majesty beam with joy. This is a compliment from His Majesty!Although His Majesty seems to be impartial to all religions on the surface, in fact he is extremely partial to them. For example, the cause of promoting Buddhism in Africa is carried out with His Majesty's full support.

From a small sect that nearly declined back then, with only tens of thousands of followers, to no less than a million followers, this is all thanks to His Majesty's support.

"My lord, if there is no Your Majesty, neither the prosperity of our sect nor the prosperity of our teaching today is all due to Your Majesty, how dare we covet the achievements of heaven?"

"His Majesty is polite."

His Holiness' politeness made Li Nanqi nod slightly and smiled.

"Because Buddhism has flourished in the African colonies in the past few years, His Majesty hopes that His Majesty can go to Africa in person at an appropriate time..."

"Ah! Go, go to Africa!"

The King of France looked at the young minister in surprise, what does His Majesty mean by this?
"Dharma King, please don't sit down and slowly understand the cause of the matter."

Li Nanqi said politely.

"Your Majesty believes that the promotion of Buddhism in the colonies is just at the right time, and more efforts should be made. If several dharma kings can go to the local area to give lectures and promote Buddhism, it will surely make Buddhism popular in the African continent."

Li Shaoqing's words made Fawang frowned and said tentatively.

"According to your lord, the other dharma kings will also go there?"

Da Ming not only has one Dazhi Dharma King, but also several Dharma Kings such as Da Ying Dharma King are here. Their disciples are also preaching in the colonies. When he heard that other Dharma Kings also went there, he immediately couldn't sit still.

"Yes, I will visit Daying Dharma King next."

As soon as Li Nanqi finished speaking, the Fawang who was sitting cross-legged suddenly laughed and said:

"Promoting the Dharma is the will of the Buddha, and it is also the responsibility of the monks. Please tell your majesty that after the little monk prepares, he will go to the Kenyan colony to give lectures."

"Well, that's very good. After His Majesty is ready, you can send someone to the courtyard to report. At that time, the Imperial Navy will send an airship to send His Majesty and all the eminent monks to Kenya."

The empire is never stingy with its own people. Since they are allowed to go to the colonies, they will definitely do all the logistical support work.

"Amitabha, please tell Your Majesty that we will not disappoint Your Majesty."

His Holiness clasped his hands together.

After discussing the main business, the next thing is simple. After the two discussed the Dharma for a while, Li Nanqi, the young minister of the Shanshiyuan, got up to leave, and the Dharma King enthusiastically sent him outside the door, and then On the steps in front of the door, Fa Xiang solemnly watched the lord leave...
