祖堂集 Zutang ji, Patriarch's Hall Collection, https://terebess.hu/zen/Zutangji.html
When Emperor Süzöng inquired about something, the master did not look at the Emperor.
The Emperor said: "I am the Son of Heaven (i.e. Emperor) over the whole country, How can you be so special that you do not look at me at all'?" (what' s so special about you that you do not even give me a glance).
The master said: "Does the Emperor see the empty space in front of his eyes'?'
The Emperor said: see [it]. "
The master said: "Did it ever blink at Your Majesty'?'
