Chapter Ninety-Seven: Good Intentions
In the heavy snow, Li Shimin, accompanied by Xuanzang in a brocade robe, ascended to the highest pavilion of the palace.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
Li Shimin looked around, but found that everywhere he looked, there was nothing but snowflakes in the sky.
"What does the royal brother want me to see?"
"Please follow the poor monk to chant the scriptures a few times"
Xuanzang clasped his hands together as he spoke, and began to whisper in his mouth.
Li Shimin was slightly unhappy in his heart, and called me up to come up on a cold day to blow the wind and recite scriptures with you, is there anything wrong with you?
Seeing Xuanzang's solemn face, when he recited the scriptures, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of holy light, and he had no choice but to whisper.
"All appearances are vain, and if you see things that are not appearances, you will see them as they are... Amitabha..."
"Your Majesty, look!"
An exclamation sounded beside Li Shimin, and immediately interrupted the chanting of the two, looking up, but saw that in the snowflakes in the sky, pieces of auspicious clouds loomed, and there seemed to be a Vajra Arhat sitting on top of the auspicious clouds, at the same time, countless black winds jumped up all over the city, and then fled quickly into the distance, and those who fled slowly were directly absorbed by the auspicious clouds...
"Brother Yu, what is this?"
"Before His Majesty said that the demons in the capital were gathered, and after the poor monks prayed to the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva dreamed of me, my Buddha is merciful, as long as Your Majesty is dedicated to the Buddha, all disasters will be lifted, Amitabha!"
Who would have believed such a spectacle unless they saw it with their own eyes?
The only trace of doubt left in Li Shimin's heart also disappeared in an instant, and he folded his hands again, bowed down and said: "Thank you Bodhisattva, the disciple must abide by the Buddha's will and magnify my Buddha..."
Everyone was attracted by the scene in front of them, and no one noticed the hint of a smile on the corner of Xuanzang's mouth...
Of course, such a scene can't hide from Zhu Tiangang's eyes, standing in the courtyard, looking up at the auspicious clouds in the sky, and sneering: "If you come to spread Buddhism, you really have to spend money."
Xiao Hu Xian'er and Bai Susu didn't have Zhu Tiangang's ability, so they were all taken into his arms at this time, so as not to be discovered by the exorcist Arhats.
Looking at this posture, there are at least dozens of the five hundred arhats in Lingshan, but Zhu Tiangang can see it very clearly, and the people who are driving away are some little-known goblins, Dapeng eagles or demon kings such as yellow-toothed old elephants and blue-faced lions, but they are not included.
If this happens, either these demon kings are hiding after getting the news, or these arhats are deliberately releasing water...
"Master, are you alright?"
"What's the hurry, Master, how hot is on Master's body! If you want to go out, you go out by yourself."
"Hmph, if you don't go out, I won't go out, see who can rely on whom?"
Bai Susu and Xiao Hu Xian'er are like enemies in their previous lives, at the end of the two sentences, the third sentence will definitely quarrel.
After a while, the auspicious clouds dispersed, and the sky turned gray again, and the snow was still falling...
"Master, tomorrow you will go back to the black-clothed guard on duty, you don't really want to marry that little goblin, do you?
"What's not to do? Master, Master is a hero, and it doesn't matter how many women you marry."
Returning to the hall, Xiao Hu Xian'er and Bai Susu rubbed their shoulders one by one, flattering Zhu Tiangang as if they were playing, but their mouths were still arguing.
At the beginning, being waited on by two female goblins, Zhu Tiangang felt very beautiful, but these two girls chatted endlessly in their ears every day, and they were in no good mood.
"Bang!"
slapped the armrest of the chair heavily, and said angrily: "Shut your mouth, come and stand!"
"From now on, I'm going to listen to you arguing again, so I'll fuck off me."
"Master, I'm the one who follows you first"
Seeing that Zhu Tiangang was really angry, Xiao Hu Xian'er said with a look of grievance.
Bai Susu knelt down for the first time, and said coquettishly: "Please rest assured, Master, the apprentice will not quarrel with Sister Hu Xian'er in the future."
"Remember, Xiao Hu Xian'er watched the restaurant and inquired about the news of the mortal world, Su Su is a fresh face, no one knows that you follow me, so the information on the demon clan will be collected by you, and no one is allowed to go to my bed in the future."
"Oh..."
Seeing that the two goblins agreed, Zhu Tiangang's face softened, and continued: "Hou Junji has a master around him who is teaching his daughter Taoism, she didn't want to marry me, and I didn't even think about marrying her, for now, it should be regarded as taking what you need..."
"Childe, there is a person named Dou Yulin outside the mansion who asks to see you"
"Invite him to the study!"
Outside the door, the sound of Wang Yu's family interrupted the conversation of the three people, Dou Yulin and Fan Li were both transferred from Pingzhou by Zhu Tiangang before, although the original Zhu Tiangang was gone, how could Zhang Gongjin let them go back? and directly reassigned them to Zhu Tiangang's subordinates, of course, neither of them knew that this prince was the former General Zhu...
Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty already knew that Wang Yu was about to become the son-in-law of the Duke of Luguo, so they knew that after following Wang Gongzi, Dou Yulin and Fan Li were very happy, and they had to report their thoughts if they had anything to do.
Zhu Tiangang's original personal captain Li Kan was also promoted to a lieutenant-level officer, but Zhu Tiangang asked Zhang Gongjin to transfer him away, because that kid was too upright and easy to do bad things...
There was not much time, and the rhine-like Dou Yulin was led in by his subordinates.
In any case, it can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms who has fought in the trenches, and there will always be a sense of intimacy when I see them.
"I've Seen Childe"
"In this kind of weather, Lord Dou is not a good cat at home, what are you doing here? Sit!
"Gongzi Xie, in fact, Lord Xi ordered the officials to ask Gongzi, what other opinions do you have on carrying out a demon eradication operation in the whole city?"
Zhu Tiangang knew that this was the successor of Buddhism to expand its influence and eliminate dissidents by taking the opportunity of eliminating goblins, and it was also personally instructed by Li Shimin.
He groaned slightly, and then smiled: "What does Lord Dou think about this?"
Wang Gongzi would actually ask for his own thoughts, Dou Yulin suddenly felt flattered, and hurriedly said: "The lower official completely obeys the instructions of the prince"
Zhu Tiangang slowly shook his head and said: "Lord Dou has been in Beijing for a short time, and some things are not very clear, but you should be able to know that Buddhism was not popular in my Tang Dynasty before, and it was His Majesty who began to advocate it, of course, His Majesty's will must be implemented, but it must be measured, it is better to offend ordinary people, if you offend those who know the demon law, it will not be very good, can Lord Dou understand what I mean?"
Dou Yulin nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Do you want the lower official to convey the meaning of the prince to Lord Xi?"
"This is my advice to you privately, I don't need to say it to him completely, you can add some of your analysis and ideas, so that it can reflect your ability, understand?"
"Gongzi Xie, Gongzi's great kindness, the lower officials must remember it"
"Don't be so polite, the water in the capital is too deep, and you are an outsider, so be careful in everything"
A famous son, who can talk to himself like this, Dou Yulin's tears almost didn't come down, and he bowed deeply again, but this time he didn't say anything, and then left directly.
Looking at Dou Yulin's back, a strange smile flashed at the corner of Zhu Tiangang's mouth...
