Chapter 987

As for how much he knew about the Cihang monk, that was naturally impossible.

After all, Qin Shubao was a military general and did not believe in Fomen's Western Pure Land at all, so being able to hear about the Cihang monk was already very good.

However, during the trip to Jin Shansi, Qin Shubao saw that the monks in Jin Shansi were all people greedy for wealth, fame, and status.

Therefore, even if he didn't know how proficient the Cihang monk was in Buddhist dharma, just by this demeanor of the Cihang monk, Qin Shubao concluded that this person was different from this group of monks and was a person with real ability.

"Since that is the case, let it be as you said."

Emperor Li Shimin was also like this; even compared to Qin Shubao, Emperor Li Shimin had never even seen the face of the Cihang monk.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Emperor Li Shimin could only choose to believe what Qin Shubao said.

"Let the location of the Water and Land Assembly be outside the Xuanwu Gate!"

Emperor Li Shimin decided directly; after all, it was announced to the outside world that the Water and Land Assembly was held to transcend the souls of those who died unjustly, so naturally, the location could not be chosen outside Emperor Li Shimin's bedchamber.

Otherwise, a discerning person would be able to see the flaws at once, which would inevitably damage the majesty of Emperor Li Shimin as an emperor.

"Obey!"

"Also, I have ordered the Imperial Household Department to rush to make a cassock overnight. Tomorrow, you will send this cassock to the Cihang monk."

"In such a major ceremony, Jin Shansi is so shabby. If the Cihang monk is allowed to wear rags, those who don't know will think that I am treating them poorly!"

"Your Majesty, if the Cihang monk knows about this, he will think of the imperial grace, and the Water and Land Assembly will inevitably be done with all his heart!"

Qin Shubao was also sighing in his heart at Emperor Li Shimin's deep love for the Cihang monk.

This matter was not as Qin Shubao thought; to be precise, Emperor Li Shimin's move was indeed an act of buying the hearts of the Cihang monks. *** ### CHAPTER 989
