At the insistence of the Tang Emperor, the Tang Dynasty soldiers were ready to follow the Tang Emperor to drive the expedition in person.
It's a pity that before the Tang Emperor left, it was rumored in the palace that the Tang Emperor was harassed by evil ghosts, and a heavy reward was offered to the talented people. Those who can get rid of evil ghosts are regarded as national scholars, and those who can ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty are willing to worship them as brothers.
Among them, Tang Xuanzong, a senior monk from Jinshan Temple, stood out and was recognized by the Tang Emperor. Therefore, a water and land conference was specially held for Chen Xuanzang, and senior monks were invited to discuss Buddhism with Chen Xuanzang. All of a sudden, the entire Chang'an City monks gathered, and the sound of chanting scriptures was endless.
Today, the Tang Emperor's early dynasty ended, and there was a subtle chanting sound in his ears, and he was immediately interested, and said with a smile: "I ordered Master Xuanzang to hold a water and land conference in Beijing, I heard that the outside world is not lively, but I have not been able to go in person, today the man is free, Zhong Aiqing, why don't you go with me to see this water and land conference!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Zheng, the minister who was standing at the forefront, walked out, held Yugui and said loudly: "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, how can you deign to go to this Laoshizi Water and Land Conference, if Your Majesty wants to see this Chen Xuanzang, you only need to give an order, and the minister expects that this Chen Xuanzang will not dare not come!" ”
Wei Zheng was a courtier, responsible for reminding the emperor when he did something wrong. In his opinion, it would be a big mistake to participate in the land and water conference.
In addition to the mission of admonishing the ministers, Wei Zheng himself also has his heart set on the heavenly court. In his eyes, the Tang Dynasty respected the heavenly court, and he didn't need to pay attention to those monks. In addition to the responsibilities of this admonition, there are more or less personal emotions in it.
Emperor Tang didn't seem to know what Wei Zheng was thinking, and said casually: "Chen Xuanzang is a senior monk after all, and he was ordered by me to hold a water and land conference. ”
Seeing what Wei Zheng was going to say, Emperor Tang waved his hand and said, "Wei Aiqing doesn't need to say much, you and I will go together!" ”
"Your Ministers obey!" Without waiting for Wei Zheng to say anything, the other ministers all bowed down and agreed. Seeing this situation, even if Wei Zheng was unwilling, he could only follow behind the minister.
A group of people walked out of the palace, took the golden luan to the water and land conference, and walked down the golden luan, the Tang Emperor's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the flags fluttered in front of him, and the treasure cover flew brightly. The banners flutter, the condensing empty road is shaking; The treasure cover is flying, and the sun is dancing red. The world-honored golden elephant is perfect, and the Arhat jade is majestic. The bottle is planted with fairy flowers, and the furnace is burned to descend. The bottle is inserted with fairy flowers, and the brocade tree is full of treasures; The furnace burns and the sandalwood falls, and the fragrant clouds are clear and clear. When the new fruit is built on the red plate, the strange sugar crisp piles up the color case. The monks recited the scriptures and wished to pull out the lonely soul from suffering.
Under the guidance of the host, the Tang Emperor visited the Buddha one by one and offered incense to the Bodhisattva and Arhat. After the incense was finished, Chen Xuanzang, who was waiting on the side, led a group of senior monks to participate in the Tang Emperor.
"Poor monks see Emperor Tang!"
The moment he saw Chen Xuanzang, Tang Huang's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
Chen Xuanzang has outstanding appearance and dusty temperament, although he is not old, he has an extraordinary temperament, which makes people look at him and respect him.
"Master Xuanzang is exempt, you have worked hard to hold this water and land conference for me!" Tang Huang waved his hand and said gently.
Xuanzang stood up straight, his expression was neither humble nor overbearing, no joy or sorrow, as if he was not facing the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, but just an ordinary person. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of this kind of mind, he can be regarded as a generation of eminent monks.
Xuanzang gave a salute to the Tang Emperor and said: "This is the matter of the little monk, the Tang Emperor came today, and the little monk handed over this Ji Gu Bang to His Majesty!" As he spoke, he raised his hands to write a piece of yellow paper.
Seeing this, the eunuch father-in-law beside Emperor Tang hurriedly stepped forward to take down the list text, and after making sure that there was no danger, he handed the list text to Emperor Tang.
When he opened the list, Tang Huang's eyes lit up again, and he saw that the list text read: "The virtue is slim, and Zen Buddhism is extinguished." Pure and clear, circulating in the three realms. Ever-changing, controlling yin and yang. The body is really normal, and it is infinite. Looking at the lonely soul, it is deeply sad. This is the holy order of Taizong: to gather all the monks and participate in Zen teachings. Open the door and court, and the boat of mercy will be widely transported, and the sea of suffering will be born, and the six pleasures of sinking will be freed. Bring back to the true road, play Hongmeng; Stop doing nothing and mix it into vegan. Take advantage of this good reason to invite the Qing capital to be admired; Take advantage of my victory and get out of the hell cage. Ascend to Bliss as early as possible, and travel to and from the West at ease. The poem says: A furnace of eternal longevity incense, a few volumes of super-raw urns. Boundless mystic law proclamation, boundless heavenly grace. All the wrongs are gone, and the lonely souls are released from prison. May I protect my state and live a long life. ”
It not only expounded his philosophy, but also the meaning of the country, the Tang Emperor's expectations, seeing this, the Tang Emperor was happy.
"The master is not only subtle in Buddhism, but also extraordinary in this style, if you enter the imperial examination, this champion is none other than you!" Tang Huang praised.
As soon as these words came out, many Wenchen generals looked at Chen Xuanzang's eyes a little wrong. With the words of Emperor Tang, as long as Chen Xuanzang is willing to enter the imperial examination, he will definitely get the position of champion, and from then on, glory and wealth will be at his fingertips.
No matter how strict the examiner is, he doesn't dare to ask him difficult in the imperial examination, there is no way, Emperor Tang has already said that Chen Xuanzang has the best talent. As a result, you didn't choose it, could it be that your vision is better than that of the Tang Emperor?
In this sentence, if Chen Xuanzang can take it, he will immediately be able to leave the temple and enter the Chaoting.
Not only are civil and military officials, even some of the senior monks behind him are a little jealous when they look at Chen Xuanzang's back. What do they practice Buddha for? On the one hand, it is immortality, and on the other hand, it is for glory and wealth.
Immortality is not enough, glory and wealth are enough to replace.
However, Chen Xuanzang didn't seem to understand what Emperor Tang meant, his face was still not sad or happy, and said: "Emperor Tang praises falsely, the list is not only done by the little monks, but also by the senior monks. The Tang Emperor's praise, the little monk replaced other monks to thank His Majesty! ”
Even if the Tang Emperor summoned Chen Xuanzang and held the water and land conference for other reasons, he couldn't help but be impressed by Chen Xuanzang's bearing: "Xuanzang is really a high monk!" After praising Chen Xuanzang, Emperor Tang turned his head and said to the other monks: "You and others are sincere, don't delay the Dharma master, and after the water and land conference is over, I will thank you and will not let you down!" ”
When all the monks heard this, they all bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
After some encouragement, Emperor Tang and his entourage said goodbye and left.
When the Tang Emperor traveled, naturally there were many people watching from the sidelines, and some excited people were not enough to kowtow when they saw Jin Luan, and the mountain shouted long live.
Emperor Tang liked this atmosphere very much, and from time to time he opened the curtains and waved to the people, until he was about to enter the inner city, his body couldn't help but stagnate. In the crowd, two figures were unusually distinct.
One person is handsome, wearing a long gown and dressed as a scholar. One is burly and dressed as a samurai.
Tang Huang didn't know that warrior, but he was very familiar with that scholar, and the moment he saw the other party, he almost couldn't help but want to let the other party enter Jinluan. Fortunately, he was not very human, and in the end he controlled his thoughts. It was only when he nodded at this person, and when he saw the scholar nodding, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and his face once again showed the confidence that he had mastered everything.
