Just when everyone was staring intently at the imperial chariot that had entered the side hall, a deep and deep voice came from outside Jinchang Fang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As the sound gradually approached, when Shang Shang stood on tiptoe to look, he only saw a team of white-clothed monks following Master Xuanzang in a big red robe, slowly walking towards the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

"Yikes! It's Master Xuanzang! ”

"Master Xuanzang is really a treasure and solemn!"

"Yes! I heard that this Temple of Mercy and Grace invited Master Xuanzang to be the abbot! ”

The eyes of the people who were whispering widened one by one, this is Master Xuanzang of Huguo Temple! It turns out that Master Xuanzang will also come to participate in today's Shangliang ceremony!

Master Xuanzang walked slowly with a compassionate smile on his face, and his big red robe was spotless. From time to time, devout believers knelt down to him in the street, and he just bowed his head and replied to the Buddha's name to show my Buddha's compassion. Even the Imperial Forest Army guarding the street respectfully got out of the way, and Master Ren Xuanzang entered the temple unimpeded.

Behind Master Xuanzang, Shang Shang was not surprised to see a debate in a white monk's robe. He was still the same as when he saw him in Huguo Temple, and the faint smile on the corner of his lips never seemed to have disappeared, but Shang Shang felt that the light in his eyes had changed, and he was no longer as light and pure as he was at the beginning, but had more of the breath of a person in the red dust.

Master Xuanzang took dozens of monks all the way to Li Shimin's palace before stopping, waved his hand to stop the monks' Sanskrit singing, bent down, and pronounced a Buddha call to the palace:

"Amitabha! Lao Xuanzang is late, and he hopes that the emperor will forgive his sins! ”

As early as when he heard the Sanskrit singing, Li Shimin already knew that Xuanzang was coming, Xuanzang was a monk and a person outside the party, he didn't care about the number of courtesies, but as an emperor, he also had his dignity, yes, he just sat in the imperial chariot and waited for Xuanzang's visit.

"The master doesn't have to be polite." Li Shimin opened the curtain of the car, looked at Xuanzang standing in front of him, and smiled slightly.

After the death of Empress Changsun, whenever he had depression in his heart, he listened to Xuanzang's discussion of cause and effect in the Buddhist scriptures in Huguo Temple, in order to calm his mind. Xuanzang is really a teacher and a friend to him!

"Greetings to the Holy Driver!"

Seeing Li Shimin lift the curtain on the royal chariot, the princes and ministers behind him, as well as the people waiting to meet in the side hall, were all shorter, kneeling down and shouting three times, although the voice was uneven, but it was so lively.

The merchants also knelt down in the crowd, and followed everyone to meet the emperor, but she was much bolder, and secretly raised her eyes from time to time to look around, and she actually saw King Wu and Gao Yang kneeling not far behind the prince.

Wei Guifei got out of the car behind Li Shimin, and watched the crowd of people all dwarf in front of her, and her heart was excited and proud. She is kneeling with the emperor! That's a lot of meaning!

Li Shimin glanced at the wealthy Chang'an families kneeling in the side hall that had not yet been roofed, and then waved his hand and shouted, he didn't expect the prince to come out like this, and he actually got so many rich people from the people! I don't know what he thinks.

Shang Shang looked at the confusion in Li Shimin's eyes, and couldn't help but smile secretly. It turns out that the protagonist doesn't know that he is stepping into the game! I just don't know, how much can the ticket revenue be this time? Remember to ask Li Mo later!

"Please move the emperor to the west hall and wait for the monks of Huguo Temple to sing the scriptures." Everyone got up, and Li Mo, who was originally following Li Zhi, stepped forward and said.

Although this Shangliang ceremony was arranged by him, there are some rules that cannot be abolished, and this monk chanting is one of them.

Li Shimin looked carefully at this son who was busy hitting the back of his head for a long time, and felt that compared with the last time he saw it, he didn't lose much weight, but it seemed to be darker, and his spirit looked good, so he let go of most of his heart, and unhurriedly took Wei Guifei and Xuanzang straight into the west hall opposite the side hall of the rich families, and sat down on the main seat.

In the side hall, the merchant saw Li Mo coming forward and saluting respectfully from a distance, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

People in ancient times were strange, and they could clearly say things in two or three sentences, but these people just liked to hide and tuck, is it really so difficult to say sorry to their son? Or, even if you don't say sorry, just say that it's hard to have wronged you all these years?

Do you have to be so awkward, the father is not the father, and the son is not the son happy?

Because the emperor and Wei Guifei came to preside over the ceremony of Shangliang this time, the craftsmen in the Temple of Mercy and Grace have been cleared out, leaving only a few old craftsmen who were needed to stay in the shed in the temple and wait for the call.

At this time, seeing that Li Mo had already asked the emperor to move, the foreman who had arranged in advance took the craftsmen to carry the carved yellow rosewood beams in the shed to the main hall.

The white-clothed monks of Huguo Temple waited for the craftsmen to put down the beams that were tied with red silk and carved with Buddhist scriptures in the main hall, and then they formed a circle, protected the beams in the middle, and chanted Buddhist scriptures. The upper beam of the main hall is a top priority for any temple, and it is not allowed to be sloppy at all.

Listening to the serene and solemn Buddhist scriptures in his ears, Li Shimin felt that his mind had become calmer, and then looked at Li Mo, who was standing with his eyebrows lowered and his head hanging to the side, and the guilt in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Zhi'er, how did you arrange the Shangliang ceremony this time, come and talk to me to hear about it."

Li Shimin carefully watched the construction of the Ci'en Temple, and beckoned to Li Zhi kindly, this time he handed over the arrangement of the beam to Li Zhi with full authority, and it was natural to ask him at this time.

"Yes! The son ordered Li Mo to explain to his father. Li Zhi bowed over his father and arched his hand, and obediently pushed Li Mo out.

Li Mo had been following behind Li Zhi, and when he saw Li Shimin open his mouth to ask, although he was reluctant, he had to step forward and kneel down against Li Shimin.

"The ceremony of the beam, there has been a rule, and now the minister is just arranged according to the old practice, after the monks of the Huguo Temple have finished singing the scriptures, the emperor will personally remove the red silk tied on the beams, and the craftsmen will hang the beams on the roof and place them, and then the monks can sing the scriptures again."

Li Mo simply explained the process, in fact, it is a very simple matter, but because the Temple of Mercy and Grace was built by the emperor's edict, the specifications of the upper beam had to be improved.

"So easy?"

Wei Guifei, who has been following Li Shimin silently, is a little displeased, she has worked hard to dress up today, this opportunity is so rare, how can she show off for a while! It's just that if it's so simple, isn't it going to be back to the palace soon? If she puts so much effort into it, but just slips around and goes back, then let those concubines in the palace know that they won't laugh at her?

"Back to Wei Guifei, Shangliang is indeed like this, but the emperor still has to write a plaque for the Temple of Mercy and Grace today, and after writing the plaque, the emperor still needs to meet the rich families in Chang'an City to show his favor."

Li Mo paused, a little bit didn't quite understand what Wei Guifei meant, isn't it so simple to go to the beam? Do you have to come up with a trick?

"Amitabha! Thank you for the emperor's love! The Temple of Mercy and Grace has a plaque inscribed by the emperor himself, which will surely carry forward my Buddhism! Compared with Wei Guifei's dissatisfaction, Xuanzang had a smile in his eyes.

The Mobao of the founding king of the Tang Dynasty is not something that can be obtained casually. Although the Tang Dynasty will not enjoy the thousand-year-old luck like the merchants, but with the emperor's ink treasure, it can at least keep it safe for a hundred years! This can be regarded as finding a second good backer for Faxiangzong, isn't it?

"Hmmm! That's a great idea! Li Shimin glanced at Wei Guifei, turned his head and smiled at Xuanzang: "The mage often explains me, and now I can be regarded as returning the favor, and please don't think that my pen and ink are rude!" ”

Seeing Li Shimin so humble, Xuanzang didn't even dare to say it.

"However, what happened to this meeting with the rich people in Chang'an City?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled, as soon as he entered the temple, he saw those rich families gathered in the side hall, and before he could ask Li Zhi, Li Mo said it here.

"That's ......"

Li Mo looked at Li Zhi's expression, and saw that he had no intention of objecting, so he said the idea of gathering people's wealth to build a temple of mercy and grace. Anyway, whether it's right or wrong, Li Zhi has everything in his pocket, and he has nothing to do.

After Li Mo's explanation, Li Shimin finally figured out what happened, and this idea was indeed good, but with his understanding of Li Zhi, it didn't seem like Li Zhi would have come up with it.

"This is Li Mo's idea." Seeing his father's gaze suspiciously fall on him, Li Zhi had to touch his nose and stand up.

Li Shimin looked at the expressionless Li Mo with a little crying and laughing, this son really surprised him again and again! It's just that this time even he let him calculate!

"Your Majesty! The chanting of the monks of Huguo Temple has ended, and the emperor is asked to move the main hall to remove the red silk. ”

Li Mo was like a thorn in his back under Li Shimin's strange eyes, and he didn't know how to deal with it, but suddenly he heard the chanting of the monks of Huguo Temple and stopped, and hurriedly asked the emperor to move.

"Mage go with me!" Li Shimin got up and raised his hand towards Xuanzang.

"This Temple of Mercy and Grace will be abboted by the Master in the future, and now it is only right to remove the red silk with me!"

Seeing that Li Mo was uncomfortable, Li Shimin did not continue to ask, but walked out of the side hall with Xuanzang with a smile. Whatever he likes, do whatever he wants! Anyway, this matter is not a bad thing, not only saves money for the treasury, but also shows the emperor's benevolence and love for the people, why not do it?

At this time, the debate machine had already retreated to the side of the main hall with the monks, and the hall without a roof was directly sunny, and the red silk wrap of the girder placed in the middle of the hall was dazzlingly red.

Li Shimin and Xuanzang walked to both ends of the girder one after the other, looked at each other and smiled, one of them grabbed the red silk at one end, and pulled it hard, and the red silk flew, and the entire carved girder was exposed in front of everyone.

"Please--Liang--!"

With a long shout from the craftsmen, a group of craftsmen lifted the beautifully decorated beams "Hey, hey, hey", and went to the back of the hall.

This girder is made of fine wood, its weight is extremely considerable, if you don't use a sling, you can only use manpower to carry it up a little bit along the slope behind the palace, but the emperor is here, who dares to use a sling to dangle on the top of the emperor's head? I had to slowly walk up the brick wall on the side of the hall along the slope behind the hall, and place the girder in the middle of the hall, which was considered to have completed the whole ceremony.

The crowd looked up and watched the craftsmen walk on the walls of the temple, and the craftsmen at that time had no safety measures, and they were scared to see all the way.

Finally, when all the craftsmen on the walls of the temple on both sides were in place, they heard a loud singing:

"Ann-Liang-huh!"

A round and straight, exquisitely carved yellow rosewood girder that exudes a unique fragrance smell is only "gurgling!" With a bang, it was placed on the main hall of the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
