Chapter 175: Xuanzang

With Wei Zheng taking over the conversation, the next conversation will be more convenient.

The five surnames returned in the days when the locust plague swept through Chang'an, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the people in the house now. Except for Wei Zheng, basically everyone has found a target to be knocked down.

The book of flowing water, the prime minister who does not move like a mountain, is the characteristic of the Zhenguan court. As the side close to the real power, the speed of the exchange of the six Shangshu is the fastest. And the officials below the squire, even if they are suddenly transferred, it is a common thing.

Three provinces and six departments, this is the main department of the imperial court, Shangshu and the left and right servants, are the key positions in the one. This time, the purge, from the high to the waiter, to the small officials, are all key care objects. And those who replace these people basically have to be recommended by top bosses.

It sounds good to say that the internal move does not avoid relatives, but in fact, it is cheeky to reap the benefits of one's own family. But Li Shimin didn't care, anyway, as long as the important positions in the court did not fall into the hands of the family that opposed him, he would be happy to see it.

can't adapt to pointing the court, and it is easy to decide whether a person is in office or not, alive or not. Li Chengqian left the private room under the pretext of squatting in the toilet.

The originally bustling conversation outside was reduced a lot in an instant after Li Chengqian appeared.

I am not used to staying in such an environment, and I think of the bows and arrows carried in the carriage, so it is better to find a place to practice archery.

called Xiao Er and asked him to take him to the backyard of the restaurant. When passing by the kitchen, Li Chengqian also asked Yu Tai to take a sheep's head as a target.

Hanging the sheep's head on the back door, Li Chengqian began to practice.

Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and practice makes perfect.

He has obtained Li Jing's verbal "graduation certificate", boxing skills, and has also been recognized by Niu Jinda. Although it is only the level of the teacher, he can be recognized by two veterans at one time in Datang, and he can stand on Suzaku Street and rely on this.

Archery is still in its infancy, whether it is the amount of falling or the amount of being affected by the wind, you need to practice it.

Of the ten arrows, only one hit the sheep's head.

deliberately looked at the damage of the arrow closely, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but shudder.

In terms of depth damage, arrows are much more powerful than horizontal knives or something. I don't know what kind of elixir those people in the TV series who were pierced into hedgehogs by arrows to survive, and their martial arts are not reduced back then.

There was still a period of time before the official banquet, and during this time, Li Chengqian wanted to be consumed with this sheep's head, but the sudden opening of the back door disrupted his plan.

The arrow was nailed to the latch, startling the big bald head that poked into his head.

But after all, he was calm, he just opened his mouth for a moment, and then closed it again.

He walked out of the back door generously and clasped his hands together: "Poor monk Xuanzang, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Xuanzang?

Li Chengqian, who has watched too much Journey to the West, it is difficult to connect the "royal brother" who fascinated the queen and various female goblins with the black-faced thin monk in front of him for a while.

is different from the TV series, Xuanzang, an ordinary monk, does not have the qualifications of a "royal brother", and his idea of going west to learn scriptures has not won the support of the emperor. Even the letter to the emperor was left behind, and there was not even a reply.

Regarding Chang'an's chaotic belief in religion, Li Shimin is already as big as a fight, how can he be willing to let the already rampant Buddhism get a chance to shine?

Seeing that the prince was looking himself up and down, Xuanzang asked, "Your Highness looks at the poor monk so much, why did you come?" ”

Li Chengqian put away his bow and said with a smile: "Lone is just curious, you are a serious monk, why are you like a wild man who cheats, sneaking through the back door?" What's the matter, isn't it good to go through the main entrance? My Datang does not restrict officials from believing in religion, and there are even many people who believe in Nestorianism, and there must be many people who believe in Buddhism. Great monk, since you want to move officials to help you intercede, or get funding or something, even if you go through the main gate, you won't be kicked out. ”

For monks, it is difficult for Li Chengqian to rise to admiration, and the reason is the experience of the old-timers of the delivery boy.

They are all running lists, and they naturally hang up the corresponding insurance for themselves. After all, in order to gallop through all corners of the city, accidents are inevitable. At that time, a senior, because he thought that he had excellent driving skills and his family's expenses were still large, ruthlessly canceled the insurance. As a result, when an order was about to time out, it accidentally collided with a supercar.

It's nothing to hit a supercar, anyway, it's just scratched a little, even if there is no insurance, the guys at the same station can get together and pay for it. But when a bald master got out of the car and spat fragrant, a scraping accident evolved into a hot news of "Takeaway vs. Shaolin Temple".

(It's apocryphal, but it's true that monks are rich.) When the author himself was in college, he worked part-time, and when he was hungry to deliver food in Tianjin, he met a master of a convertible Ferrari. Although it is the "incense money" that people earn, but.... Just a personal point of view, anyway, I don't have a good impression of the Indian Ah San's stuff)

Buddhism only collects money from believers in the world, does not produce itself, and claims to be beyond the world, disobedient to labor, and not taxed. Moreover, Li Chengqian also went to the Tang Dynasty, and after reading some classics, he learned that Buddhism was still lending usury.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was a monk named Daoyan in Jizhou, who relied on the trade of this donkey to roll and successfully became a large sum, and he had to add a power.

Li Gang also focused on Emperor Wu of Liang who sacrificed himself to Buddhism and asked the ministers to pay a ransom before returning to the court. Although this guy later destroyed the Buddha again, when it came to the previous part where the guy believed in Buddhism, Li Chengqian really felt the sadness in the old man's words. An emperor, who does not care about state affairs, believes in the chaos of the bliss of death, which is simply the second shame in the history of emperors second only to tyranny.

The antecedents and the aftermath are added together, so even when he saw the main task in Journey to the West, Li Chengqian couldn't feel a little admiration, but couldn't help the ridicule in and out of his words.

In the face of Li Chengqian's ridiculous tone, Xuanzang didn't have a trace of anger at all, and still said calmly: "The poor monk naturally knows this, but His Royal Highness's guard is in front of the door, and he doesn't let go of a person who enters or leaves. However, if you want to go directly to the heavens, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the fastest way. Therefore, the poor monk hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be able to help. Poor monk, grateful. ”

After speaking, he bowed.

Li Chengqian naturally hated the way of bowing more than 90 degrees, but the monk in front of him lasted for a long time, and he couldn't bear it.

Tsk, Lao Tzu just took his teacher out to take a yo-yo, and you still remembered it?

Without saying a word, Li Chengqian was ready to see how long this guy could hold out.

A pillar of incense.

Two pillars of incense.

Half an hour.

Ninety degrees of bending, to say that it is not uncomfortable is nonsense.

Looking at the beads of sweat that kept falling to the ground on Xuanzang's face, Li Chengqian suddenly felt that he looked like a villain who couldn't survive three episodes.

In order not to let this famous monk in history fold here, Li Chengqian could only speak: "Xuanzang, I can feel your sincere desire to seek Buddha, and even understand your idea of wanting to travel west to learn scriptures." However, people can't just think about themselves when they do things, maybe going west to seek scriptures can make your heart feel relieved, but have you thought about the impact of what you do on your surroundings?

During the Southern Dynasties, there was a conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, and during the Northern Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism fought again. Now my Li family sits on the country and respects Lao Tzu as the ancestor, making Taoism stable over Buddhism. Now Buddhism is not angry, and is looking for opportunities everywhere to counter the army. Didn't you give them a good assist? Do you want to see the Buddha and the Tao clash again? ”

Xuanzang got up, even if he bowed for half an hour, his face was still joyless and sad, and finally there was a look of pain. The prince's words were remarkable, and the emperor just ignored his letter, but this one directly blocked a mountain on his way to the west.

"Your Highness, the poor monk naturally knows the stakes. It's just that my Buddha is merciful, and let the poor monk be a fool! All sins are mine, and I wish to return to the Bodhisattva King of Jizo and spend hell together. ”

When he had finished speaking, he sat down and began to read the scriptures.

Crushing a stone on the ground, Li Chengqian couldn't tell what his mood was now.

Xuanzang is an admirable person, in this era when he goes to the next village to visit relatives, he may be taken away by a tiger on the way, but this guy has to cross Tianzhu. It may not be appropriate to use the word Yuandu, because the 50,000-kilometer road is a step by step way for him to walk.

A strong-willed person will be respected no matter what. But this guy is still "reborn" and "hell" outside of his words, which makes people annoying.

"There is no hell in this world, and there is no Jizo King Bodhisattva. If your Buddha is really effective, he should appear here and let Lone be shocked. If he is radiant, maybe, Lone can still give up his hand to him, and by the way, let his father consider allowing you to go west. ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian raised his head and glanced at the sky.

The TV series are all deceitful, they didn't slap down on a continent, and they didn't pour themselves with the Menesian mineral water in a jade bottle.

The world is still a reality, and it has not been invaded by fantasy.

The sky in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was very blue, the white clouds were very white, and the sun was shining.

Living in such an environment, it is better to study and study how to make the follow-up industry not tarnish these beautiful things, if you use the calculator of Buddhism to calculate, maybe your own floating tower can also be on the moon.

Without looking at Xuanzang, Li Chengqian patted his sleeve and went back to the restaurant.

Today's restaurant is a celebration of human achievements, and the officials in the restaurant who are waiting for the emperor's commendation with great interest may not let a monk who can easily attribute their merits to Ah San.

Back in the room, Li Chengqian suddenly smiled bitterly.

Although the drunken wind building has made a lot of large tables from the wooden shop that is the prison, there is no such thing as a turntable.

And the patterns on it, no matter how you look at it, they are all the ones in the East Palace!

Li Shimin glanced back at Li Chengqian: "Why, I want to use your things, and you still don't want to?" ”

Li Chengqian naturally didn't dare to say what was in his heart, so he could only admit it.

Perhaps, this is the first time that the Tang Dynasty monarchs have held a banquet like this. There are people who confuse public chopsticks and private chopsticks, and they also make a big red face.

There is no way, although Li Chengqian does not want to rectify this petty bourgeoisie, but the commanders of the East Palace are not allowed at all.

Although the new commander has a good temper, there is still a limit to this good temper.

The disaster is over, and the state capitals are judging that they will survive the winter this year without incident. Therefore, the food that Lao Cheng's family was preparing to relieve the victims was sent to the winery again.

There is a restaurant in front and a wine shop in the back, Lao Cheng looks very arrogant, but he is actually a good businessman.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Chengqian rubbed his rumbling stomach and slandered the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty.

If Daddy wasn't there, he could have sat here to eat, but when the emperor came, the prince couldn't even get up to the table.

I took the cold vegetable bag handed by my father, and I have to be grateful.

Li Shimin's amount of alcohol is naturally not comparable to this table of Wenchen, except for the eldest grandson Wuji's tongue that can still hold the dishes, Li Gang and Xiao Yu are fine.

The wine table of later generations can use "cephalosporin" as an excuse, and the wine table of the Tang Dynasty can naturally move Sun Simiao out.

Seeing that Li Gang said that he was taking medicine and could not drink, Xiao Yu did not hesitate to copy it.

The emperor is gone, and the crown prince is also raptured and slipped away.

Looking at Fang Mou, who was sleeping heavily, the eldest grandson Wuji walked out with a bitter face.

Since it was a gathering of the Manchu Dynasty ministers, there had to be a drinker.

As soon as he threw his hand away, Li Chengqian was thrown into the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Li Shimin burped and said, "I drank too much today, and there is still a letter in the Ganlu Hall that has not been answered, so you can return it instead of me." ”

It is impossible, and it is impossible for private letters, and after Li Chengqian thought about it, there was only one possibility of Xuanzang's letter.

"But Xuanzang's letter?"

"Oh? You even know? Did you already see him? ”

"It's in the backyard of the restaurant, but Erchen teases him..."

After listening to the whole story, Li Shimin smiled slightly and said: "It seems that you don't believe in gods and Buddhas, boy, that's right, we are royal, what we believe can only be a horizontal knife and a chain flail, and the merits of this life are the ones that need a headache, as for the next life, what's wrong with him!" ”

Listening to his father's incessant impassionedness, Li Chengqian couldn't help but say, "But, why do you still swallow the pill?" When I went to your dormitory to ask for peace before, Erchen saw such a big pill, and I don't know how you swallowed it. ”

Li Chengqian has always felt that Li Shimin's death was a bit too early, although the Tang Dynasty people generally lived a short life, this one was a perennial fighter, and there was an ancestral treasure disease. But he is physically strong, and he has a hiccup at fifty-one, which is still a bit of a problem.

It wasn't until he saw the so-called Immortal Family Baodan that day that he understood what was going on.

If you have nothing to do, just take some pills containing Mo Ming minerals, and be able to live to fifty-one is already the ancestor of the old Li family.

After saying this, he was immediately deflated.

There are two ways to express shame, "self-shame" and "shame and anger", and Li Shimin chose the latter without hesitation.

slapped out, this time he finally brought a little reason, and patted Li Chengqian's shoulder.

But even so, Li Chengqian almost spit out the buns he had just eaten.

"The son does not say anything about the father, where have you been taught in the past few years?"

Li Chengqian covered his throat and calmed down for a long time before opening his mouth.

What a! Didn't you decide before that you wouldn't have anything to provoke this guy!

But since you are cheap, let's be cheap to the end!

"Father, the son heard from Daochang Sun that the pill practiced by the Taoist priest does not know how many harmful substances are in it. It is said that this thing can prolong life, so you might as well find a duck when you go back, feed it more, and see how long it can carry. Erchen is worried about your body, so he is unfilial. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but blush.

Although it is said that it is unfilial to say that the father is wrong, if such behavior is out of filial piety, it should not be blamed.

"Alright, I know."

After saying this, Li Shimin leaned on the carriage and escaped the embarrassment by pretending to be asleep.

Although it is a royal chariot, the comfort level is not comparable to the carriage of the East Palace.

Leaning his head on the carriage, he was hit from time to time.

For the sake of his own head, Li Shimin could only reopen his eyes.

Suppressing the smile in his heart, Li Chengqian asked his doubts: "Father, what are you doing with a dog for your son?" Or a hound, do you want to use it to ward off evil spirits? ”

glanced at Li Chengqian dissatisfied, and Li Shimin said casually: "If you let you raise you, you can raise it, what do you need." When I was young, I also had a hunting dog, and when it was time to hunt, I didn't need to drive the horse to pick up the prey by myself. Now that you've started practicing archery, you'll be going on an autumn hunt one day, and you can't do it without a hound. ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes again, this time with his head down and taking a nap.

When hunting?

This one....

Sounds like real.

After entering the harem, Li Chengqian entered the Ganlu Palace, found the letter on the imperial case, and did not read the content, and directly wrote the words "Prince Read" at the end.

instructed the eunuchs waiting in the palace to send them out, as long as Xuanzang saw these three words, he probably understood what was going on.

The reason why he wanted the emperor's approval was nothing more than that he wanted to be more convenient when he passed the test, as a powerful country on this planet, even the distant Hanhei Dog De said that "although learning is far away in China, it should be sought". Recommended Reading: /.. /

If the customs clearance document in the Journey to the West TV series really exists in reality, even the Turks don't dare to make too many mistakes. After all, although it is hostile, killing an ordinary monk with a tattoo for no reason will cause the anger of Datang, and even the muscles in his head must think about it.

This is Xuanzang's idea, but it is not certain whether there is anyone behind what he does.

If Xuanzang's westward journey becomes ordered by the emperor to learn scriptures, it would be strange for those monks who drooled over the revered status of Taoism not to spread the news throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Raising his head in confusion, he found that he had walked to the Liangyi Palace.

The moment he sobered up, Li Chengqian couldn't help blushing a little.

Since when did you begin to look inside through the surface, and also learn to use the most vicious mind to figure out others?

Rubbing his face, he called Ziyan in front of the hall and asked her to go in and report.
