Chapter 1475: Alarming the Emperor and the Queen Mother
When the second prince learned that the white jade holy Buddha statue and the golden book were sent to the princess's mansion by Princess Mingli, he almost fainted from anger.
"Go to the Princess's Mansion immediately and get the things back!"
The second prince roared in anger, his face red and his neck thick.
Princess Mansion! Princess Mansion again! That damn girl again!
That damn girl was born to be against him!
At this moment, the second prince suddenly felt a sense of sorrow, thinking, "If I have Yu, why do I have Liang?"
However, if his leg had not been broken and he had difficulty moving, he would have jumped up and gone there himself.
After all, you still have to struggle a few more times, right?
Unfortunately, by the time the people from the Second Prince's Mansion went to the Princess's Mansion, Tang Bao had already taken the things and headed to Tianlong Temple.
Of course, even if Tang Bao didn't take the things away, she would never give them to the second prince.
After all, she didn't get it from the second prince.
After the Second Prince heard the news from the servants who went to the Princess's Mansion, he was about to order people to chase after him to Tianlong Temple when a simple and heavy bell sounded.
“Bang—”
Second Prince: “…”
He suddenly covered his heart, feeling that the voice hit his heart - it hurts!
It's as if something extremely important has been lost...
It must be that damn girl’s doing!
Woohoo...his holy Buddha statue...his golden book...
The second prince was in tears.
To be honest, the Second Prince naturally didn’t know what Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin didn’t know.
Therefore, he did not know how precious the white jade holy Buddha statue and the golden volume of the Diamond Sutra were.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given it to Princess Mingli just to show off.
At this time, everyone in the capital city heard the bell and looked up in the direction of Tianlong Temple.
What's going on? Is the bell of Tianlong Temple ringing again?
In the palace, Emperor Tianxi put down the imperial brush in his hand and turned to look in the direction of Tianlong Temple.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the concubines from other palaces all looked in the direction of Tianlong Temple at the same time.
Tomorrow is the day when the prince will offer sacrifices to heaven, so why is the bell in Tianlong Temple ringing now?
"Send someone to investigate quickly to find out what happened!" Emperor Tianxi ordered.
Eunuch Liu agreed and hurried out of the imperial study to convey the order.
Speaking of which, the prince's sacrifice to heaven is related to the country's destiny and whether the prince's position is recognized by heaven. Emperor Tianxi and all civil and military officials must be present.
However, the prince is the protagonist, and he needs to burn incense, bathe, receive the baptism of Buddha's light, and do a series of other things in advance.
Emperor Tianxi and all the civil and military officials went there on the same day.
After Eunuch Liu came back with the imperial eunuch's message, he thought for a moment and told what he had heard from the young eunuch.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Fude went to Tianlong Temple..."
Instinctively, Eunuch Liu felt that the ringing of the Mingtian Bell must be related to Princess Fude!
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
He picked up the imperial pen in his hand again, but put it down again.
Instinctively, I felt that this matter must be related to Fu Ya.
"I wonder what kind of surprise Fu Ya has given me." Emperor Tianxi said with anticipation.
Being able to ring the bell at Tianlong Temple is definitely a big deal!
And it’s a good thing!
Soon, Emperor Tianxi found out what was going on.
"A white jade holy Buddha statue?" Emperor Tianxi asked in surprise.
Forgive him, he doesn't know which Buddha the White Jade Holy Buddha statue is.
Qian Yong reported respectfully: "Indeed, this Buddha statue is the one that Emperor Kaiyuan used when he entered Tianlong Temple to practice..."
With a "whoosh", Emperor Tianxi stood up.
Emperor Kaiyuan is Emperor Longze.
Because he ended the war and opened the first year of the century, later generations also called him Emperor Kaiyuan.
"It's actually Emperor Kaiyuan!" Emperor Tianxi murmured.
No! You must go and worship in person!
You know, Emperor Kaiyuan is almost the idol of emperors of all dynasties.
After all, this was the first person to use the imperial seal!
When each generation of emperors took over the imperial seal, they would recite the achievements of Emperor Kaiyuan.
This is the rule passed down by our ancestors.
Emperor Tianxi hurried out of the palace, wanting to worship the white jade holy Buddha statue, and the Empress Dowager also hurried out of the palace.
However, what excited the Empress Dowager was the golden volume of the Diamond Sutra.
"No wonder the celestial bell rang. It turned out to be the golden volume of the Diamond Sutra... I must go, must go... Yes! To burn incense..."
The Empress Dowager was so excited that she was a little incoherent.
An ancient book in Tianlong Temple records that this golden volume of Diamond Sutra is a Buddhist doctrine scripture bestowed by God after Emperor Kaiyuan ended the war in the world. It can be said to be the ancestor of the origin of Buddhism.
Of course, there are other theories.
In short, it is full of mythology.
No matter which statement it was, it was enough to make the Empress Dowager excited.
This legendary treasure must be seen with one's own eyes.
At this time, in Tianlong Temple, monks of all sizes were sitting cross-legged on the ground.
“Dong—dong—”
The distant sound of bells echoes between heaven and earth.
Along with the sound of the Heavenly Bell, the opened golden volume of the Diamond Sutra also rang out, seemingly echoing the sound of the Heavenly Bell, and rang out a series of bells that struck the heart...
At that moment, all the monks, big and small, entered a wonderful state, their bodies, minds, and souls all integrated into the Buddhist teachings...
The entire Tianlong Temple is shrouded in a sacred and mysterious atmosphere.
Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin also knelt on the cushions, their eyes slightly closed, their minds empty, bathing in the supreme Buddhist teachings.
When Emperor Tianxi and the Empress Dowager arrived at Tianlong Temple, it was already night.
When the emperor and the empress dowager arrived, Master Zhiyuan naturally led the monks to welcome them.
When Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin heard the news, they naturally followed.
"Amitabha, this humble monk pays homage to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager." Master Zhiyuan chanted the Buddha's name and stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Master Zhiyuan, there is no need to be so polite. I heard that the white jade holy Buddha statue and the golden volume of the Diamond Sutra appeared in the world, so I came here to pay homage to them." Emperor Tianxi said anxiously.
After hearing what Emperor Tianxi said, Master Zhiyuan understood and without hesitation took Emperor Tianxi and the Empress Dowager to the Buddhist temple where the white jade Buddha statue and the golden volume of the Diamond Sutra were enshrined.
The Buddhist temple is filled with the aroma of incense, and the white jade Buddha statue is emitting a holy light under the flickering candlelight.
The golden volume of the Diamond Sutra is enshrined on the Buddhist altar, emitting a mysterious golden light.
Emperor Tianxi and the Empress Dowager burned incense in front of the white jade Buddha statue, worshipped the golden volume of the Diamond Sutra, and then looked at Tang Bao together.
"Hahaha... Fuya, you are really my little lucky star!" Emperor Tianxi was very happy.
As an emperor, during his reign, not only did he return the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture to the Tianlong Temple, but now he also added the White Jade Holy Buddha Statue and the Diamond Sutra Golden Book. Emperor Tianxi was very proud!
Your name will be passed down through the ages and your reputation will last for generations to come. That’s a sure thing!
A wise ruler, recognized and rewarded by Heaven, restored the Buddhist treasures one by one...
Emperor Tianxi himself could figure out how people in the future would praise him.
