Chapter 260: Li Shimin lost to Li Chengfeng!
As soon as Tang Xuanzang came to the palace, he was received by Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Shimin's test, Li Shimin was completely surprised by Tang Xuanzang's Buddha's heart for the country and the people.
Because Tang Xuanzang said: The purpose of his coming here is not to be the host of the palace, nor is it to give the palace a practice! Rather, it is to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, obtain the return of Mahayana Buddhism, and purify sentient beings.
When Li Shimin heard this, this was terrible.
This guy was able to give up the opportunity of glory and wealth, and was willing to embark on the road to the Western Heavens, and went through hardships and dangers to obtain the true scripture?
Li Shimin asked, "Dare to ask the master, how many coils do you need?" How many silver taels? How many guards? ”
Tang Xuanzang replied, "Don't entangle the poor monks, don't take a penny, don't need guards!" Please also ask the emperor to give the poor monk a white horse and a fateful bowl! ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin's heart was shocked again.
Don't want money, don't want guards, don't even pester?
Li Shimin asked, "Why is this?" ”
Tang Xuanzang replied, "Because, money is something outside the body, and having it in the body will definitely disturb the firm will of the poor monk!" The guards escorted me away, which showed that I was not sincere enough, and I would not be able to see the Buddha! In addition, there will always be a day when you will eat it up! It's better for the emperor to give the poor monk a fateful bowl, so that the poor monk can go all the way to the west! ”
"See the Buddha?" Li Shimin looked at Tang Xuanzang suspiciously.
"Yes, it's the Buddha of Da Lei Yin Temple!" Tang Xuanzang replied seriously.
But in fact, this is what Li Chengfeng fooled Tang Xuanzang.
As for whether Tang Xuanzang can see the Buddha, this is another matter.
But what Li Chengfeng dares to guarantee is that Tang Xuanzang will definitely be able to return from the true scriptures.
After a conversation with Tang Xuanzang, Li Shimin was completely moved by Tang Xuanzang's selfless dedication.
When he and Tang Xuanzang became brothers with different surnames, and gave Tang Xuanzang the title of 'royal brother'.
Because Li Shimin felt that if one day, if Tang Xuanzang really saw the Buddha and returned from the true scriptures, he, Li Shimin, who was an elder brother, would be able to have a light on his face.
Moreover, if Tang Xuanzang becomes a monk in the future and becomes a Buddha in heaven, then Li Shimin is Tang Xuanzang's brother.
This wave of worship is not a loss.
……
A week later, Tang Xuanzang passed Li Shimin's test ahead of schedule and became the temple host of the Tang Palace.
But Tang Xuanzang's goal is not just to become the host of the Tang Palace.
What he has to do now is to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, obtain Mahayana Buddhism, return to the Buddha, and purify all sentient beings.
And Li Shimin also agreed with Tang Xuanzang's idea.
Before leaving, Li Shimin also gave Tang Xuanzang a dark iron Zen staff and a brocade robe.
So, one man and one horse, at the Xuanwu Gate of the palace, bid farewell to Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng.
Then Tang Xuanzang led the white horse, stepped out of the Xuanwu Gate, and set off towards the Western Elysium.
Li Shimin looked at Tang Xuanzang's voice gradually moving away, and couldn't help waving his hand with tears in his eyes, and said, "Brother Yu, take care all the way!" ”
Tang Xuanzang bowed back, then turned around and left without looking back.
At this point, no one can shake his belief in going to the west to learn scriptures.
……
In the Imperial Palace of Chang'an City, Xuanwu Gate, Wang Dequan handed Li Shimin a brocade cloth and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Everyone was immersed in the sadness of Tang Xuanzang's parting.
However, Li Chengfeng held a small piece of grass in his mouth, put his hands on the back of his head, came to Li Shimin's side, and said, "Father, you lost!" Where's my 3,000 Xuanjia Army? ”
"Ding, from Li Shimin's surprise, naughty value +99!"
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengfeng helplessly, smiled, and asked curiously: "Feng'er, where did you find Master Xuanzang?" ”
Li Chengfeng said with a smile: "Tianshan Temple! So I made a bet with my father, and I won! So when will the father honor the gambling contract? ”
"This ......"
Li Shimin pursed his lips slightly.
3,000 Xuanjia Army is a lot of real power.
"Father, you won't be yet, don't you want to give it to me, right? Father, you can't afford to pay your bills, after all, I won! I found a real master for you, and people were fortunate enough to go to the west to learn the scriptures! You can't fool yourself! ”
"Don't worry, Feng'er, you don't joke, I, I'll reward you with the military token of the three thousand Xuanjia Army!"
After that, Li Shimin took out a bronze token from his pocket.
Li Shimin said: "Feng'er, you can use this bronze token to go to the martial arts arena to mobilize three thousand Xuanjia troops!" What your father promised you, you will definitely do! However, you can't use these 3,000 Xuanjia troops to do bad things! Otherwise, my father still has the power to take back the forces in your hands! ”
"Don't worry, father, I won't use these forces to do bad things!"
"Well, good! Haha, let's go, Feng'er will accompany me to drink two glasses! ”
"Okay, I haven't drunk in a long time!"
So, Li Chengfeng followed Li Shimin to drink in the imperial dining room.
……
Li Shimin gave Li Chengfeng a transfer token of 3,000 Xuanjia Army.
Li Chengfeng began to get excited in his heart.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengfeng took the token and came to the martial arts arena to select his 3,000 Xuanjia Army.
At this moment, the sky has just broken and the sun rises in the east.
Li Jing is on the martial arts field, training the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.
This is a martial arts venue that can accommodate 10,000 people.
And it is a martial arts training venue for the Xuanjia Army.
Every Xuanjia army can be described as one in a hundred, they are big and powerful.
With special armor and long knives, put it on the battlefield, it is an unshakable mountain.
"One, two. One, two......"
Li Jing shouted loudly: "Give me exercise, while the weather is not hot now, everyone will give me 200 push-ups, and then run ten laps around the playground and have breakfast again!" After breakfast, continue to train intensively! ”
"Yes, General!"
On the martial arts arena, there was the unanimous cheers of the soldiers.
Li Chengfeng took a bronze token and came to Li Jing.
When Li Jing saw the comer, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, and said: "Old minister Li Jing, I have seen the Eighth Prince, I don't know that the Eighth Prince came to the martial arts arena early in the morning, but what is the matter?" ”
"Something, this prince is here to choose this prince's Xuanjia army!"
Li Jing showed a trace of doubt between his eyebrows, and said, "Eighth Prince? Pick the Xuanjia Army? Do you want one or two? If you need two Xuanjia soldiers as guards, you just need to talk to the emperor, and the old minister will send two Xuanjia soldiers to be your guards! ”
In Li Jing's eyes, being able to become a guard in the Eighth Emperor's True Palace's palace is a blessing that these Xuanjia soldiers have cultivated.
But Li Chengfeng shook his head and said, "General Li Jing, I don't pick one, nor pick two, but pick, 3,000!" ”
"What? 3000 pcs? ”
Li Jing was suddenly stunned.
"Ding, surprise from Li Jing, naughty value +129!"
3,000 Xuanjia troops are enough to capture a city.
