Vol 4 Chapter 2402: Intimidation and inducing house arrest

Kumarajiva's eyes were wide open. This living Buddha, who has always been full of concentration, couldn't believe his ears, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
Yao Xing's face sank, and he said coldly: "You have no joking, national teacher, if you change someone else and dare to talk to me like this, I'm afraid you have moved your head now. I think you are highly respected and a monk. I don’t care about you, but you can’t refuse my proposal."
Kumarajiva gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty should know that Buddhism has Buddhist precepts. One of the very important precepts is the precepts of fornication. Those who become monks must abandon the love of men and women, and there will be no inheritance. Or else, they have lusts and evil thoughts. How can such a person win the trust of his disciples and believers?"
Yao Xing sneered: "Kumarosh, you will break the precept tomorrow morning. Don’t you feel hypocritical to say this? Even if you were persecuted by Lu Guang, your cousin is still a lay layman. By your side, although I didn’t give birth to you, I still took care of your diet and daily life. What’s the difference from my wife? It’s okay to break the precept here, but can’t I break it again for me? And, this is just for the sake of me. It’s for your own good to let you pass on from generation to generation, not to waste the wisdom of your holy monk, and to spread your buddha species to the world!
Kumarajiva shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, after succumbing to Lu Guang to save the people of the city, there has been no relationship between the poor monk and the Aye Jie Mo Lay. She is a lay woman. She serves me only as a disciple. From her point of view, her parents were killed, her brothers were murdered, and she was unaccompanied. There was no one else to go except to escape into the empty door, and she had had a skin blind date with me. If you don’t stay in the monastery, no one will marry her again, and will even be bullied by Lu Guang’s cruel and licentious subordinates. The poor monk accepted her back in the past, not for the sake of beauty, no matter how beautiful the woman is. There are just pink skulls in the eyes, please check carefully."
Yao Xing laughed and said, "So, you are saving your cousin, Master Guo? Now there are ten beautiful women who are waiting for you to save and go to Hua. They are in troubled times, very poor and separated from their families. Parents are killed, taken captive, bought and sold, and then they will fall into the dust. Master, if you are a living Buddha who rescues suffering, you should treat them equally, save their fallen souls, and use your spiritual fluid to cleanse their illegal bodies and make They re-behave cleanly. In this way, it is an act of boundless merit."
Kumarajiva was trembling all over with anger, and he halted the stick: "Your Majesty, you actually want to use a woman from the dust to humiliate the poor monk. Even if the poor monk is dead, he will never accept it!"
Yao Xing frowned: "Kumaroshi, I hope you think carefully. In this world, no one can go against my will like this. In the eyes of the people outside, you may be a living Buddha who saves suffering, but here I am. With an order, you can go to see the Buddha of Xitian. Understand?"
Kumarajiva gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, everything in this world has cause and effect. If you do too much evil, some will be rewarded after death, and some will be rewarded in this world. Isn't the first emperor the best example? Over the years, he has practiced benevolence and righteousness and treated the people with magnanimity. It is not only to accumulate virtue for himself, but also to clean up the sin karma of the first emperor, so that he can reduce the suffering below."
Yao Xing sternly said: "Shut up, you dare to insult the first emperor, I will kill you now!" The warriors in the pavilions stepped forward and only waited for Yao Xing's order to take down Kumarajiva Up.
Kumarajiva laughed and said: "Okay, you kill. The poor monk is over 60 years old, and his life and death have long been aside. If the poor monk's death can let the world recognize his Majesty's face, it is also an act of infinite merit. You What kind of person is his father, you know best, can you kill everyone in the world?"
Yao Xing was silent for a while and waved his hand to signal the samurai to retreat. He looked at Kumarajiva: "I know, when you were in Houliang, you were so outspoken, even the brutal Lu family knew that you could not kill. You, of course, I know better, that no matter how different the first emperor is, it is also to lay down the country and hand it over to my founding emperor. You should have a minimum of respect for him."
Kumarajiva said the Buddha's name: "The first emperor has his own merits, and he also has his merits. At least in the eyes of the poor monks, it is better than Lu Guang and his son. The best thing is to let His Majesty ascend to the throne instead of Choosing other sons who are proficient in battle but are cruel and easy to kill. This alone can wash away a lot of sins. The poor monks receive the blessings of Da Qin and also recite scriptures day and night to eliminate karma for the first emperor in return for his majesty's kindness."
Yao Xing gritted his teeth: "Don’t mention this matter, national teacher, I will tell you the truth, you know, now in Chang’an city, there are more people who listen to you than I listen to. You can’t bow to me on this matter. Then I won’t kill you, but I won’t let you go. Not only you, but also the translation of the Buddhist scriptures of all monks in the temple, I will also stop. From now on, all The monks of, are not allowed to enter the Buddhist scripture pavilion, and other supplies remain the same. Since you can’t satisfy me, then I have no choice but to ruin your life career.
Kumarajiva's body began to tremble, which can be seen from the golden rings on the stick he was holding~EbookFREE.me~ He gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this, The translation of the scriptures is a feat of translating the world. The stability of your rule here also depends on this. You can't ruin the welfare of the people in the world just because you fight against the poor monks!"
Yao Xing said coldly: "With these scriptures of yours, you haven't beaten Hu Xia back and wiped out Helian Bobo. Since you can't deal with our enemies, what use are these scriptures? It is to let our people Kneel to you step by step, kowtow to the ground?"
Kumarajiva sighed: "If your majesty is really not worried about the poor monks, then the poor monks can close the monastery from now on, and only do the translation of the scriptures, and will not accept the incense of any people, so let's do it."
Yao Xing sneered and said: "You retreat one day today, and those believers who have come from thousands of miles want to open the door. If you really don't get out, you are instigating these people to rebel because of you. After thinking about it, I can only make you break again. Quit, abandon this reputation, so that the people will no longer think of you as a and buddha, and remember who their emperor is. Teacher, I have time, you can also wait slowly, when you figure it out, come again Find me."
As he said, he turned around and walked outside the pavilion, Jia Fu respectfully saluted, and Yao Xing’s words came from his ears: "Jia Fu, arrange for the national teacher to stay in the Xiaoyao Pavilion behind the Royal Garden, those ten The beauties are also sent along, oh, yes, don’t show the scriptures to the teachers these days, bad people will get retribution for good deeds!"
