Empress Changsun agreed to Li Chengqian, and was willing to let Li Chengqian's eldest brother Li Zhan help her see a doctor, but although she agreed, Empress Changsun also had her own requirements, that is, she would not meet Li Zhan, and she couldn't let Li Zhan know her identity, Li Zhan had to diagnose his pulse through the curtain, if Li Zhan didn't even have the means to diagnose the pulse of the suspensory wire, then there was no need to look at it.
The so-called suspensory pulse diagnosis is Sun Simiao's unique skill.
Although Li Chengqian didn't know if his eldest brother had such a stunt, he still agreed for his eldest brother.
In this way, Empress Changsun decided to meet in Daxing Temple two days later.
This Daxing Temple is on Suzaku Street, with brilliant glazed tiles, vermilion walls, and majestic gatehouses. On the door, "Daxing Temple" three red gold characters are eye-catching.
In the temple, many walls and steles still retain the poems of famous people of the past dynasties. The door of each Buddha hall is hung with a gold plaque in the middle, and the door is carved with exquisite fairy and flower patterns, which is magnificent.
Walking into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, what catches people's eyes are three big Buddha statues, bearing their chests, sitting cross-legged, smiling with their hands together, vivid and interesting.
Walking through the Daxiong Hall is the Tuas Hall, which is dedicated to the thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Guanyin. Opposite Guanyin is a golden armor King Kong, draped all over the body, majestic.
Although the Tang Dynasty strongly supported Taoism, however, this Buddhism had developed in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, not only Buddhism was prosperous, but the temple economy also developed.
What is the monastic economy, that is, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism was introduced to China, and the monks of the monasteries have been enjoying the state's tax-free policy, thus forming a unique economic form centered on the monasteries... Monastic economy.
It's a bit like the gentry of the Ming Dynasty at that time, after the Ming Dynasty was lifted, they didn't have to pay taxes, and many peasants would come over to avoid taxes.
According to the "Southern History, the Biography of the Followers, and the Biography of Guo Zuchen", it is recorded: "There are more than 500 Buddhist temples in the capital, which are extremely magnificent. More than 100,000 monks and nuns, rich assets. The county where it is located is overwhelming. The Taoists (the title of monks in the Southern Dynasty) also had white disciples, and the nuns were all raising daughters, and they did not appreciate people's nationality. Half of the world's household registration is dead. And monks and nuns are more illegal...... All of them returned to the vulgar and attached to the peasants, and the white disciples adopted their daughters...... In this way, the law is prosperous, and the country is rich. Otherwise, I am afraid that the party will become a temple everywhere, and every family will be shaved off, and the land will not be restored to the country. ”
At this time, there were nearly 5,000 monasteries, more than 40,000 temples, and 260,000 monks in the Tang Dynasty. These temples were economically powerful thanks to the gifts of the imperial court, the donations of the rich and wealthy bureaucrats, the scheming of the monks and landlords, and the privileged commercial operations. Buddhism should be pure-hearted, promote the Dharma, and donate incense as funds, but the monasteries occupy extensive fields, which has violated the right path of Buddhism.
The continuous privatization of monastic property and the emergence of wealthy monks marked the final formation of the monastic landlord economy. Moreover, the monks and nuns had a large number of slaves and maids for the monks and nuns to drive for fun.
Therefore, although the Tang Dynasty strongly supported Taoism, it still could not solve the prosperity of Buddhism.

Li Chengqian happily left the Lizheng Palace, thinking that his mother believed in him and was willing to see his eldest brother, but Li Chengqian never dreamed that Empress Changsun didn't want Li Zhan to treat her at all, it was Li Zhan's aerosol that attracted the attention of Empress Changsun.
The material of this aerosol is obviously weird, during this period of cooperation, what Li Zhan is a god in Chang'an City, and then wants to save the world, this is like a thorn stuck in the heart of Empress Changsun.
The ancients were very superstitious, especially the superiors, Li Shimin could kill his henchman Li Junxian because of a proverb, so Empress Changsun would not be merciful.
After all, this lord also broke through from the corpse of the sea of blood, and if someone was unfavorable to the Li Tang royal family, Empress Changsun would not hesitate to kill him.
So this time, Empress Changsun pretended to agree to Li Chengqian to see his eldest brother, but in fact, after Li Chengqian left, Empress Changsun immediately announced Changsun Chong into the palace.
Changsun Chong is the eldest son of Changsun Wuji, the nephew of Empress Changsun, in the seventh year of Zhenguan (633), the eldest grandson Chong, who was then Zongzheng Shaoqing, married Li Shimin's fifth daughter and his cousin Li Liqing, the princess of Changle.
Li Lizhi is really the pearl of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, and Li Shimin chose the eldest grandson family for an important reason, because Changsun Wuji is not only Li Shimin's friend of cloth, but also the brother of Empress Changsun. Marrying her beloved daughter to the eldest grandson family is undoubtedly the most reassuring arrangement, so the princess of Xincheng, who was also born to the queen, also married into the eldest grandson family.
Eldest grandson Chong and Princess Changle's cousins... It is certainly impossible in modern times, but in ancient times it was very compatible, and it can be described as a kiss on top of a kiss.
Li Shimin saw that his beloved daughter was worthy of such a good son-in-law, and he was so happy that he led to a small episode.
In the fifth year of Zhenguan (there are also six years of memory), Li Shimin wanted to give more when preparing a dowry for his daughter, so he said to the ministers, "Princess Changle, born to the queen, I and the queen are loved." Now it will come out, and the number of courtesies will be increased. ”
Fang Xuanling and others replied: "Your Majesty loves, I want to add less."
So the secretary sent twice as much as the eldest princess of Yongjia. Princess Yongjia is the daughter of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan (born in the second year of Wude), that is, the aunt of Princess Changle.
Li Shimin actually wanted to go beyond the ceremony for the sake of his precious daughter, but fortunately he was advised by Wei Zheng: "If the princess's gift is too long, I am afraid that it is impossible, may Your Majesty think about it." In the end, Li Shimin retracted his will, and the matter became a beautiful talk after that.
You said that there are so many relationships together, and Changsun Chong is the nephew and son-in-law of Empress Changsun, which is the most intimate person of Empress Changsun, so as long as Empress Changsun has something, she will basically go to Changsun Chong to do it.
And there is also a record in history that the reason why Empress Changsun likes Changsun Chong is that Changsun Chong is somewhat similar to Empress Changsun.
Of course, the truth of this is unknown, but what we do know is that after Empress Changsun saw Changsun Chong, she asked Changsun Chong to take his family to Daxing Temple to secretly arrest a person two days later, and Changsun Chong didn't even think about it, so he agreed without hesitation.
And Empress Changsun said that this matter could not be told to Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Chong also immediately agreed, it can be said that Changsun Chong is the most obedient junior of Empress Changsun, and the last time he followed Li Chengqian was the person sent by Changsun Chong, but unfortunately he lost it, this time, Changsun Chong secretly swore that he must complete the task given by his mother.
............................
Just when Empress Changsun was calculating Li Zhan, Li Zhan didn't know anything at this time.
At this time, Li Zhanzheng received a letter from Li Chengqian, saying that he would go to Daxing Temple to see his mother two days later.
He opened the encyclopedia on his laptop, and then began to look up traditional Chinese medicine, to be honest, Li Zhan was also frightened by this traditional Chinese medicine, which included more than 5,000 prescriptions collected by Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty to summarize the theories of his predecessors and summarize his experience, and all of them were successfully treated with syndrome differentiation.
There is also the emergence of the famous medical scientist Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty.... Li Shizhen, who wrote a book in the late Ming Dynasty.... Even Heo Jun, a doctor of Korean Eastern Medicine, the research results of these Rens are among them... There are tens of thousands of prescriptions that have been successfully dialectically discerned, and there are too many effective prescriptions for treating qi diseases.
