"Your Majesty!" As the people around him stared at Fahe, Fahe seemed to have made up his mind, continued to shake his fat chin, and said something earth-shattering. "Not only are the five powerful Vajra Bodhisattvas and the five thousand great gods here, but even Manjusri Bodhisattva has come down to earth, vowing to revive the Song Dynasty and destroy the Jin Dynasty!"
"Manjushri Bodhisattva represents great wisdom, right?" Emperor Zhao looked thoughtful.
"yes!"
"It must be Zong Zhongwu." Emperor Zhao sighed. "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of it... If it wasn't for Zong Zhongwu's great wisdom, foresight, and perseverance in gathering the army, bandits, and civilians in the midst of defeat, and defending Dongjing City for the country, the south of the Huai River would have been hopeless. Who else could it be if not Manjusri Bodhisattva sent by the Buddha? And Mr. Wang, he must be the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who came to help me. Tell me, was Mr. Wang just as patient and unmoved as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Luoyang? If he hadn't been so patient and unmoved in Luoyang, Yaoshan would have been defeated without a fight."
Fahe finally became a little flustered.
It is said that the status of the Four Great Bodhisattvas in Chinese Buddhism is second only to the Buddha. In order to cooperate with the emperor, he desperately brought out a great wisdom, intending to attribute it to the emperor himself, but who would have thought that it would directly become two husbands who died for their loyalty, and one became two.
Of course, a husband who died for his country is still a husband who died for his country, which is certainly easier to accept than a living Bodhisattva. But if this is the case, a very obvious truth is that if the husband is a Bodhisattva, then what is this official?
In fact, not to mention Fahe, the monks around him, including the prime ministers and military officials behind him, were all dumbfounded. You must know that by the Song Dynasty, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had actually merged in terms of ideology and culture. Not to mention people like Lu Haowen, whose family had been vegetarians for several generations, any educated Confucian scholar could easily quote Buddhist allusions... Or maybe Buddhism had already penetrated into daily life and traditional culture, so how could they not understand the absurdity of the answers.
But the problem is, the person asking the question is the emperor of the time, the person answering the question is the current abbot of the Zen Buddhism's ancestral temple, the location is the scene of a grand court ceremony, and he is surrounded by civil and military officials and all other powerful Buddhist figures in the Central Plains... Why does it seem a bit formal?
It's really just one who dares to ask and one who dares to answer.
Fortunately, Emperor Zhao had no intention of delving into his own identity. Instead, he continued to sigh, "So, in this way, all the soldiers who died in the Song-Jin war can be reborn in paradise?"
"Of course!" Host Fahe answered earnestly.
"The soldiers of the Jin army who waged an unjust war will be tortured repeatedly in the eighteen levels of hell?"
"What the government said is absolutely right!" Host Fahe said this with conviction, as if he had given up everything.
Zhao Jiu wanted to nod his head, but he felt heavy on his head, so he turned around seriously, and then pointed at Fahe in front of him from a high position, and announced to the surroundings: "This Abbot Fahe will achieve the state of an Arhat in the future! The Buddhist sect of the Song Dynasty needs a hundred Abbots Fahe! It also needs a hundred Shaolin Temples!"
After saying this, Emperor Zhao turned around and slowly entered the Yuetai camp.
After a while, another imperial guard came to explain to Abbot Fahe that the emperor had ordered that all the abbots and temple masters who had worked so hard to line up the array would be summoned to the Yuetai camp in the evening... Abbot Fahe was invited to take the lead and lead everyone to attend.
