As for the rest of the brothers and sisters, they disliked the boredom of discussing the Buddha, and had already joined hands to play in the flower forest outside the hall.

A few of their princesses, taking advantage of this, can take a good peek at the monk whose name is debate.

When the three of them moved to the side of Li Shimin and the crown prince Li Zhi, it happened that they heard the center of the topic that the other party was talking about, which was on the body of the debate monk.

This moment all the curiosity of the princesses was seduced, and one by one they bent their ears and listened carefully to their father's next question.

This Li Shimin and Daoyue have finished the basic edge, so naturally it is impossible to just pull out their legs and leave, say a few words of greetings, and then leave, which is also the practice of a country's leaders when they go out.

But today, the little monk who followed behind Daoyue was too conspicuous, and it was so conspicuous that Li Shimin couldn't help but ask a few more questions with interest.

Because, knowing today that he Li Shimin was coming, all the monks of Puguang Temple, one of them, all wore the most luxurious and solemn dresses and came to greet him.

Only Gu Zheng is an exception.

He was dressed no differently than he usually wore in the Scripture Pavilion, even compared to what he wore on weekdays...... It's even more shabby by three points.

Today's Gu Zheng actually chose the dress of an ascetic, a sackcloth monk's robe, no more decoration, no more fabric.

stood behind Daoyue cleanly like this, but it was because of his natural carved appearance that formed an extremely huge contrast.

This phenomenon made Li Shimin too interested.

It's like the most precious piece of jade, which was thrown on a broken silk scarf that his wife had used for 20 years as a carrier, with a bit of a pity for the destruction of the heavens.

Therefore, Li Shimin actually took the initiative to ask: "The little monk behind Master Daoyue is the only disciple of the master, the little apprentice of the Dharma Debater, right?"

And Dao Yue was also very willing to give this opportunity to his disciple, he turned his head to look at Gu Zheng with a smile and silently, signaling that he could take the initiative to answer His Majesty the Emperor's questions.

Gu Zheng, who received the master's prompt, was not polite, compared to a monk's singing, and gently said: "Back to Your Majesty, the poor monk is the opportunity to debate." ”

"Oh, tell me, all the monks today come to see His Majesty the Emperor in fine clothes, why are you the only one wearing a tattered robe?"

"Don't you think that His Majesty the Emperor's identity is not valuable enough for you to treat it solemnly?"

Hearing Li Shimin's half-joking words, Gu Zheng didn't bother at all.

Jokes, when the monk is playing tricks, you ...... You're all a skeleton, old thing, who's afraid of you.

Therefore, the monk with a silver face replied with a slight smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the little monk is now doing that cultivation level of cultivation. ”

"The Buddha has clouds, and cultivation is where the avenue is, and it cannot be disturbed by any external causes, external objects, or outsiders. ”

"I am an ascetic in the dust, disturbed by red dust, seven emotions and six desires, all of which are passing by the clouds, not entering my heart, not entering my body, and Your Majesty is still one of the equal beings in my heart. ”

"So Your Majesty's identity, why did it affect the process of my original mind cultivation?"

"If the poor monk wears beautiful clothes and makes a respectful gesture because of His Majesty, then it has already broken the poor monk's skill and damaged the poor monk's ascetic practice. ”

"Therefore, just because the poor monk came to see His Majesty in such a dress, it can further illustrate the pious heart of the poor monk towards His Majesty. ”

"It's not flattering, it's just a normal heart. ”

"Come to think of it, Your Majesty also hopes that there will be more people like the little monk in my court, around my Tang Dynasty, and protect my Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, right?"

Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Li Shimin was surprised at first, this monk is not very old, but his courage is not small, and he actually put his status with the people above the equality of all living beings.

But when he heard the end, he turned his surprise into joy, although this kid has been moving closer to the bull man, but he can't stand it from the fact that he is sincerely complimenting his dynasty.

The old emperor who was disturbed to the itchy place, babbling and happy.

"Hahaha, what an interesting monk, quite perceptive, no wonder your master spares no effort to praise you, saying that you are the reincarnation of the Buddha. ”

"I wonder what you're doing right now?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Gu Zheng's heart was relieved, the forced force of pretending to be an ascetic was successful, so he had to make his academic two fools and only focus on the Buddha's mind.

Therefore, after Li Shimin's inquiry, a fanatical expression appeared on Gu Zheng's face.

"The little monk is now sorting out and translating the Great Bodhisattva Canon, which is one of the most complete classics in the Buddhist scriptures that Master Xuanzang brought back. ”

"A total of 20 volumes, all written in Sanskrit, the poor monks are translating and sorting out according to the understanding and pragmatic concepts of the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"After all, in the classics of Buddhism in the Western Regions, it is the truth that it is ultimately used by our country and people. ”

On the way, these things can be taken away from their dross, so that they can be good fools, no, they are educating the people.

For such a monk who is dedicated to studying, Li Shimin still admires it very much.

In particular, he believed in the fact that each party has its own job.

You are a monk, your job is to praise the Dharma, study the Buddhist scriptures, and raise you Buddhists in the court, isn't this what you do?

It's hard for a young man to not be dazzled by desire, and stick to his heart, which is good.

Li Shimin, who had a great heart of joy, waved his hand and added a valuable offering to Puguang Temple.

And when he walked out of the temple gate and just stepped out of the threshold, as if he had thought of something, he pointed in the direction of Gu Zheng and said a few words: "You are good." ”

"A few days ago, Master Xuanzang's messenger had already handed over his letter to Chang'an on the same day to me. ”

In his letter, he hoped that I would send a few people who were proficient in Buddhism as assistants to translate the new Buddhist texts that had come from the west. ”

And compiled what he saw and heard when he went to learn scriptures, and the tentative title of the book was "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". ”

"Since your understanding and Buddhism are even praised by Master Daoyue, then I will introduce you to Master Xuanzang's subordinates and become his assistant. ”

"When the time comes, you have to show your skills raw, don't lose face to me. ”

After that, Li Shimin flicked his sleeves in a chic manner, came down the stairs without looking back, stepped on the dragon chariot, waved his hand, and left with the mighty crowd.

Only the people of Puguang Temple, who were full of gratitude, were left, and they sang the Buddha in unison.

Thank you Your Majesty for the opportunity.

This Master Xuanzang has already had a decree, and the total number of helping disciples who follow him will not exceed nine, and now among the monks of their Puguang Temple, the first to bear the brunt of it is a great honor.

Although it is a new temple, the waist pole is also hard by three points.

Brother Debater, good job.

This group of monks left happily, and on the carriage and horse of the princess's honor guard, Princess Gaoyang was not in a good mood.

She took back the gaze behind the curtain from the gate of Puguang Temple and Gu Zheng, who had been looking around the distance, and took a few deep breaths before calming down the temperament in her heart.

Afraid that the other brothers and sisters would hear it, Gao Yang combed his nails angrily and muttered in a low voice: "The beautiful and delicious character I finally fell in love with, what is the matter with my father's idle idle and idle steppe?"

"Originally, it was just an ordinary little monk, isn't it convenient to get it?"

"Now he has been appointed to become the help of Xuanzang, who wrote Buddhist scriptures, but there are too many difficulties in starting it. ”

Speaking of this, Princess Gao Yang bit her nails as she usually did when she was anxious.

"What reason is there for me to meet this argument alone? If there are no outsiders, I don't believe it, according to my charm, there are still people who can't be taken?"

Gao Yang was thinking about it, I don't know if it was the momentary negligence of the person driving the car in front of him, or because of the bumpy pothole in this section of the road, the horse of Princess Gao Yang was actually bumped up by a stone pit, and Gao Yang, who was sitting on it, with this external momentum, actually bit her proud nails to pieces.

Blood seeped out along the cracked nails at once, making Gao Yang, who was already in a bad mood in pain, angry in his heart.

She shouted to the guards outside the car, who belonged to her, "What's the matter?

"Such lazy slaves, don't serve beside me, and when you return home, drag them into the hands of the princess and the princess, and leave them to him to deal with!"

The guards who belonged to the princess beside him replied in unison: "Oh!"

And the servant who heard Princess Gaoyang's shouting trembled and didn't dare to make a rebuttal.

The convoy drove to the gate of Chang'an Palace, and today's Zen parade is really over.

If there is something to do, follow Li Shimin to the palace to talk to each other, if there is nothing to do, they will lead the servants and guards and return home.

Gao Yang, who was originally in a good mood, couldn't at least join in such a lively scene, but now he was in such a bad mood, and directly followed those quietest princesses, drove out of the palace gate, and returned to the house early.

Because of advocating freedom, Gao Yang and Fang Yi's love was originally consensual, and Gao Yang, who did not live in the princess's mansion, naturally returned to the small courtyard where the second room of the Fang family belonged.
