"Shimin, let's do it, it just so happens that Xuanzang has translated a batch of Buddhist scriptures, since you are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, of course you have this opportunity to be the first person to listen to the Dharma, how about it?" Yuan Ziyan wanted to open to Li Shimin from another level.

Li Shimin smiled slightly, noncommittal, the Buddha can't solve the knots in the hearts of the world.

"If you don't speak, that's acquiescence." Yuan Ziyan took matters into his own hands, and the fog outside began to get heavier, so he helped Li Shimin to go back to rest, and waited until he fell asleep before going back.

Wu Mei had been waiting for Yuan Ziyan, so the lights were on, just like when Yuzhu was alive. It seems that God is not ruthless, and after causing countless tribulations to people, he will still leave a warmth, which inadvertently makes people feel comfortable.

"Auntie, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" Wu Mei asked with concern while serving Yuan Ziyan to freshen up.

"Hey, it's not good."

Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, and suddenly felt a pain in her scalp, Wu Mei was so distracted that she actually tore off a few of her hairs. Wu Mei hurriedly apologized, her face full of apologies.

"Paulie, I know the concern in your heart. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, no one can escape such a fate. ”

Wu Mei suddenly knelt down for Yuan Ziyan and said with tears in her eyes: "I implore my aunt to intercede with Your Majesty and let Wu Mei go home." ”

"Don't you want to stay with your aunt?" Yuan Ziyan asked softly.

"Yes! But, it's ......."

"It's okay, it's just the two of us here, just say what you have in your heart."

"Auntie, what if, what if?" Wu Mei looked around and mustered up courage. He lowered his voice and asked, "If Your Majesty returns to heaven, I heard that the concubines are all going to be buried together." Bollywood doesn't want to die yet. ”

"The reason why the emperor had concubines to accompany him to the funeral was actually those who misbehaved when they were alive. The emperor didn't want to keep them to cause trouble, so he killed them. Yuan Ziyan said disapprerovingly.

"However, even if you don't accompany the funeral, you will fall into the nun, and from then on, the green light ancient Buddha will be boring." Wu Mei's face was gloomy, but she was actually very aggrieved in her heart. has never been lucky, so he is still a talented person for so many years, but the final ending is as miserable as everyone else. It's not fair.

"You, don't you still have a child?"

Yuan Ziyan's voice was not loud, but to Wu Mei's ears, it was like thunder. Shocked to raise his head suddenly. He opened his mouth in surprise, but he didn't know what to ask.

"Paulie, first of all, you have to be clear, even I can't break the rules of the palace. At the beginning, my aunt didn't want you to run, although you were misled by the eldest grandson Wuji and came to His Majesty, but in the end you were the one who chose to stay here, so you have to pay the price for this decision. ”

"Paula's mistake. At the beginning, I failed to understand my aunt's deep meaning, and I reaped the consequences. ”

"Actually, it's not your fault. This is providence. Yuan Ziyan got up slowly, came to the window to look at the bright moon outside, and said: "The water is full and overflowing, and the full moon is lost, everything in the world is like this, and it is an infinite cycle." Paulie, your brothers are very powerful, and your mother is already old, and no one will dare to marry you when you go back. My aunt can take advantage of the chaos to let you go, but staying can win you a bigger chance for yourself, what will you choose this time? ”

"Auntie!"

"Don't be in a hurry to answer me yet." Yuan Ziyan turned around, looked at this pitiful little face, and sighed: "No matter which way it is, it will be difficult for you. The former has to endure a lifetime of loneliness and poverty, but he can be pure and avoid the world. The latter paves the way with thorns and dangers, but it can win you glory and glory. ”

"Auntie!"

"I said it, don't be in a hurry to answer me. Look at the example of His Majesty, maybe a thousand glory is not necessarily a good thing. Paula, I'm tired, go to bed early. Yuan Ziyan said as he lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and did not move.

Wu Mei was stunned for a long time, is there a way out for her at this time? I really shouldn't have been this talented person for the sake of immediate interests, and if I stayed with my aunt, I might marry Li Zhi as a concubine in the future.

Wu Mei was annoyed and went back to her room, but she tossed and turned, and she didn't sleep all night.

The next day, Xuanzang should enter the palace, and at the same time brought some translated scriptures, Xuanyin because of his sensitive identity, so he rarely came to the palace, and there was no figure of him on this trip. Li Shimin flipped through a few volumes casually, sighed, the handwriting was neat, meticulous, proofread several times, and there were no mistakes.

"Brother Yu, I don't know the principles of Buddhism, I have been confused recently, and I want you to recite a few Buddhist scriptures and enlighten you." Li Shimin said.

"May the Buddha bless Your Majesty Antai!" Xuanzang said a word, and then thought for a while, and then talked about Buddhism, which is naturally the so-called Mahayana Buddhism, one lifetime of liberation, jumping out of the Three Realms is not in the Five Elements.

Not to mention Li Shimin, Yuan Ziyan sounded sleepy, too long, and very awkward, and it was difficult for a layman to understand the meaning. Li Shimin maintained a careful listening attitude at first, but then his body couldn't hold it anymore, so he lay down and listened with his eyes closed, and it didn't take long for him to snore slightly.

Xuanzang is still preaching the scriptures seriously, talking endlessly, and his mouth is like a river, he thinks that even if His Majesty is asleep, his divine consciousness is listening to the Dharma.

Yuan Ziyan couldn't help it, and asked, "Master, how long do you have to speak?" ”

"Just two more hours, this is the essence of Mahayana Buddhism, and please listen patiently." Xuanzang wanted to talk about it again after speaking.

Yuan Ziyan interrupted him again, frowned and said, "Master, although these are good, they are not conducive to the daily recitation of the disciples. It takes several hours to recite it every time, and there is no need to do anything every day. ”

"Cultivate the mind and nature, make offerings to the Buddha, and besides, the world is confused, and there is no need to be nostalgic." Xuanzang disagreed.

"But the world still has to eat, drink, and Lazar, even you, the mage, don't have the energy to recite it every day, right?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

Xuanzang was speechless, but he thought that Yuan Ziyan didn't understand Buddhism, and he was lazy and lazy, and he didn't want to put more effort into his cultivation. But in view of Yuan Ziyan's identity and influence, Xuanzang still asked: "I don't know what the national teacher means, what should I do?" ”

"I think we should condense the essence so that people can read it." Yuan Ziyan thought for a while and said, "In our hometown, I often hear people recite a Heart Sutra. ”

"Heart Sutra?" Xuanzang became interested.

"Yes, the heart of the heart. In fact, it is the essence of the heart. Yuan Ziyan said teasingly.

"I want to hear about it!"

"The Heart Sutra, the full text is less than 300 words, and it is a condensation of more than 6 million words of Mahayana Buddhism." Yuan Ziyan recalled, and recited it: "Guanzi Bodhisattva, well, go deep, don't mess with me, for a long time." Summoning the five aggregates to be empty, and to overcome all suffering and suffering. The color is not different from the empty, and the empty is not different from the color...... What river does the Bodhisattva cross! ”

Yuan Ziyan shook his head and finally stumbled out the Heart Sutra, but in fact, it was changed beyond recognition, and many words were memorized wrongly, and he looked up in embarrassment, and found Xuanzang staring at him in surprise.

"Hehe, my level of Buddhist culture is too low, and I don't recognize many rare words, but the keywords are still very clear." Yuan Ziyan blushed and did not forget to smear gold on his face.

However, Xuanzang didn't seem to hear Yuan Ziyan's words, and recalled the Heart Sutra he had just heard, and finally came to his senses after a long time, and hurriedly ordered someone to get the four treasures of the study, and wrote hard while thinking about it.

One is lost and sleepy, the other is stupid and stupid, originally wanted Xuanzang to guide Li Shimin, but now that the two of them are not talking, Yuan Ziyan is idle and bored, so he helps to review the folds.

Before I knew it, another two hours had passed, and none of them had eaten, and the eunuchs did not dare to disturb them.

Finally, at dusk, Xuanzang laughed, and excitedly bowed to the West, holding something in his hand. Yuan Ziyan looked at Xuanzang's actions in confusion, only to see that he turned around and wanted to bow to himself.

Yuan Ziyan hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "Mage, Ziyan can't afford it!" ”

"I listened to the recitation of the Buddha by the national teacher, and suddenly became enlightened, please see if the national teacher is this Heart Sutra?" Xuanzang handed it over excitedly.

Yuan Ziyan took a closer look, oh my God, it's really the Heart Sutra, I didn't expect the Heart Sutra to come like this! Of course, this is just a very stinky narcissistic idea, or Xuanzang read through the Buddhist scriptures and knew the essence of the part well, and with a little dialing, it can be summarized.

"Hey, the hundreds of thousands of Buddhist scriptures translated are useless, and you can be enlightened and overcome the tribulation by reciting the Heart Sutra often!" Xuanzang said regretfully and excitedly.

"Hehe, how can you say it's useless? Everyone has their own desires, and their understandings are not the same, so each takes what he needs, and the Master is the real merit. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Then I will recite it to Your Majesty." Xuanzang said and recited the Heart Sutra he had just translated a few times, but he didn't expect that just after reciting it for the third time, Li Shimin woke up with a smile, and he woke up laughing inexplicably, even he didn't know why.

"Your Majesty, did you have a sweet dream and be so happy?" Yuan Ziyan quipped.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and his eyes radiated brilliance: "I am sleeping, as if I am in the clouds, surrounded by the sunset, so not spectacular, the sound of Buddha is lingering, the fragrance is fragrant, and I feel that my body is as light as a swallow, and my spirit is a hundred times!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, there is a great opportunity to obtain the true meaning of Mahayana Buddhism." Xuanzang said excitedly, Yuan Ziyan smiled and said nothing.

Li Shimin didn't understand a little, obviously he slept by himself and didn't listen to anything, how could he have any chance to understand, when would Master Xuanzang fool people?

However, when he woke up, Li Shimin felt that his heart was much brighter, and he was very happy in his heart, and immediately kept Xuanzang in the palace for a vegetarian meal.

According to the previous habits, Xuanzang rushed back immediately after completing the task, and today he was unusual, he was very happy, and he nodded in agreement.

Li Shimin was quite surprised, and hurriedly sent people to prepare well, all of which were made delicious vegetarian with new pots and new stoves, and considering that Xuanzang did not drink alcohol, and the vegetarian wine did not stick to his mouth, Yuan Ziyan naturally ordered someone to prepare a delicious juice to replace the wine.

The three of them talked happily, Li Shimin laughed constantly, and he looked down on the suffering. (To be continued......)
