The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1386 Give the People a Way to Live

Who is Jiang Zheng? That is a spy sent by Song Dynasty. Although he is an eminent monk, he is not a monk in his heart. monk.

I met Zhao Xu by accident because my family was ruined in Nantang. It was Zhao Xu who gave me a chance to take revenge, and now I'm about to succeed.

What Jiang Zheng thought in his heart was to make those who persecuted him come to a bad end. Although it looked vicious, whatever the cause, there would be the effect.

Why don't you bless me, and don't send it to Nantang?This is Li Yu's cry. In fact, Jiang Zheng really wants to tell him the truth, but sometimes the truth cannot be told, and Li Yu may not believe it.

I can't tell the truth myself, can it be said that you, Li Yu, can't defend your country at all.

"My lord, in fact, the Buddha is the same to everyone. I don't know why the lord of the country made such a statement?"

Jiang Zheng's decent cassock, coupled with his pious and dignified face, all prove that he is an eminent monk.

"Master, it is said that Buddhism is boundless. I worship Buddha so devoutly. Why did my country become what it is today? Can you use Buddha's supernatural powers to help me retreat?"

Li Yu probably went to the doctor in a hurry at this time, and asked the Buddha to help you retreat. Which dynasty in history have you seen that the Buddha helped you retreat.

You say you are devout and believe in Buddhism, can the Buddha help you retreat, Xiao Yan, do you know, the Emperor Liang Wu who believed in Buddhism very much.

Emperor Wu of Liang also entered the temple four times to sacrifice his life. He only wore Buddhist robes in the temple, and everything else was discarded.The shortest was four days, and the fourth longest was 51 days.

"April Gengwu, the ministers redeemed the Emperor Bodhisattva with [-] million yuan."This is more pious than you, Li Yu. In the end, the emperor didn't end up with a subjugated country, and the Buddha didn't help him.
Jiang Zheng was already active in his heart. If the Buddha could do this, what kind of army would he need? This Lord Li Yu, you think a little too naively.

"Master, this poor monk really has nothing to do." Jiang Zheng had no choice but to tell the truth. What can I do?

"Then, is the Buddha still believable? I have been chanting and worshiping the Buddha for so long, and I was blamed and slandered by my courtiers. You are only now telling me that you can't do it."

As soon as he heard Jiang Zheng say this, Li Yu was really stunned, and he became angry at random. He believed it for so long, and it was useless for you to tell me.

If you know that Li Yu was scolded by ministers in the early days of Buddhism, I don’t know how many times he has been wronged, but now he finds that everything he insists on is useless.

"My lord, you can know that no matter how powerful the Buddha is, he cannot defeat the karma of the world." Then Jiang Zheng told a short story.

Before the Buddha's own country was destroyed, the Buddha had a headache for three days. He knew that his country could not escape the catastrophe, and all the people would die.

His eldest disciple was the first in supernatural powers. He believed that by using divine power, he could put his subjects into the Buddha's bowl for protection. After the soldiers retreated, the eldest disciple opened the bowl, but saw a bowl of bloody water.

He asked sadly why, the Buddha said that supernatural powers are not equal to karma, because the common karma of the subjects of his country in the previous life resulted in the result of this life.

Jiang Zheng's explanation explained why the Buddha could not help Li Yu retreat and save the country.

Li Yu seems to understand that it is his country's karma or his own karma is too heavy and deep.

"I worship the Buddha and respect the Buddha, what karma do I have?" Li Yu has a question, what karma can I have if I haven't done anything bad.

"Amitabha, the poor monk does not have this ability, and cannot see the common karma of the king's previous life, but the poor monk can talk about the karma of the king's current life."

I don't know what happened in your previous life, but in this life, I can tell you a little more.

Jiang Zheng is also a master of flickering, since he talked about karma, let me explain it to you, so that you will give up.

"My lord, if you hadn't mistakenly killed good generals and forced loyal ministers to death, if your courtiers hadn't been greedy for life and fear of death, concealing military intelligence, and if your subjects hadn't been insensitive and indulged in pleasures, how could Jiangnan be reduced to what it is today?"

Li Yu, who was listening carefully, suddenly turned pale. Is he blaming himself, but he has no way to refute.

People like Pan You and Li Ping, who dared to write and speak out, were killed by themselves. There is nothing they can't do.

There are also some generals who demote themselves, and those who are not reused, do they not reuse them? They have done all of this themselves.

Moreover, he often recites poems and composes Fu, ignoring the government affairs. Even Han Xizai, who used to be the best at reciting poems and drinking, dissuaded him from working hard, and in the end he was dismissed by himself.

A Lin Renzhao sincerely works for the country, but he is still wary of others from time to time. Now that I think about it, it really is like this.

Jiang Zheng didn't notice Li Yu's embarrassing expression, and continued:

"The corruption of the courtiers in the south of the Yangtze River and the extravagance of the people, compared with the hard work of the Song court in the Northern Dynasty, the king, isn't this the common cause of the subjects of the south of the Yangtze River in this life and the result of this life?"

One is good and the other is bad. They are all destined to be good. They are the cause of the previous life and the result of this life. It is said that you have no karma.

Nantang became like this, don't you, Li Yu, have no responsibility, all responsibilities?
It works from top to bottom. As the lord of a country, you work hard on your own, and what do you ask your subjects to do? Besides, even if you have loyal ministers, you stop them. It’s all like this. God forbid.

"My lord, the poor monk talks too much today. But please understand, my lord, that since ancient times, there has been no country that never perishes. All of this is nothing but birth and death, nothing but a dream, everything in the world is just a dream. , Lord, if it is really impossible to save, let the common people live!"

Jiang Zheng finally finished what he wanted to say, if there is no way to recover, please let the common people live.

How to let the people live, there is only one way for Li Yu, and that is to surrender.

Under the situation of the Song Army's army pressing down on the border, there is still a way to survive if you surrender directly, and the people who surrender directly, otherwise you don't know how many people will die and how many lives will be injured when the city is broken!
"This is also a way to reduce the karma of your previous life. Please decide for yourself where to go, Amitabha."

After Jiang Zheng finished speaking, Li Yu closed his eyes. Li Yu was thinking about what Jiang Zheng said and what he should do. Now he thought of these things.

Did I really have such deep karma in my previous life? If I really got to that point, would I really want to do that to give the people a way out?

Li Yu lowered his head even lower...
