Li Tai poked his head out from behind the pillar with a full burp, and when he saw this scene, he screamed, walked over and picked up the master with two greasy hands and said: "This king is really damned, he actually forgot to tell Master Chen that the Chang'an Hou Mansion is a master like a cloud, you must not shout here, otherwise any sweeper may kill you."

A few of you are fine, right? Belch...... It's okay, let's go back to practicing martial arts! Belch...... However, this king is too full to eat today, and it is not suitable for martial arts, otherwise I am afraid that the five organs will not be able to stand it, so let's do it tomorrow! ”

Li Tai burped and said triumphantly, and his two hands took the opportunity to help people and constantly rubbed the grease on other people's clothes. A few of the inner worshippers were not sad, and said calmly: "Today's prince is not suitable for martial arts, but it is quite suitable for practicing courage, take the prince to Dali Temple to see people being punished." ”

Li Tai's face changed drastically, and it was too late to run, so he was caught up by two guards and taken away. Master Chen bowed his hand to Cai Cong and left without saying a word. Cai Cong and the others were full of sympathy for Li Tai in their hearts, they ate so much, they must be very spectacular when they vomited.

"Lone should also go, Dali Temple is cruel to torture, Brother Tai is afraid that he will not be able to stand it, Lone will arrange some imperial doctors for him."

"I have the best pearls here, and those will crush him in a while." Cai Cong hurriedly said, Dali Temple recently caught a few Tubo fine works, in order to get information, I heard that one has been tortured to death, as if it was finally roasted before dying.

"Master Hou has the world in his heart and has a compassionate heart, why can't he give my Buddha a way to live?" Ran said with a sad face, the Taoist true god went down to destroy the locust plague, where did the Buddha come from? If he dared to say that the Buddha came into the world, Li Shimin would immediately issue an order to destroy Buddhism.

"Ben Hou has already told Distress that your disaster is within Xiao Qiang. Are you sure that you can tell me with certainty that the monks in those temples are all devout believers in Shakyamuni? ”

Cai Cong said calmly, his face struggled painfully for a long time, and finally he was silent, he couldn't tell lies, that would break the precepts. Cai Cong pushed him away and walked forward, turned around and said, "Clear your Buddha Gate first!" It's smoky, and no one you can find can help you. When will you stop being greedy for money, come to me again to talk about paying taxes. ”

"When the poor monk went back, he conveyed the words of the Hou Ye to the sage in the door, but why should I pay taxes for my Buddhism as a person outside the sect?" Puzzled, he asked, Buddhism has not needed to pay taxes since ancient times, but Cai Cong wants to talk to him about taxes, which is really puzzling to him.

"Since you are an outsider, what are you looking for me, a layman who is full of turbidity? Since it is a person who is a foreigner, what grains do you eat, and what kind of money do you want? What do you do with those fertile land? What Lao Tzu looks down on the most is that you bald donkeys donkey donkeys don't produce but occupy a lot of land wealth, and keep saying that there is no desire and no desire, I bah, get out of me, if you don't roll again, I will break your legs. ”

Cai Cong suddenly turned around and said disdainfully, and his saliva spit directly on Ran's face this time. Ran closed his eyes sadly, recited Buddhist words, and walked out of the Hou Mansion step by step.

Buddhism has fallen, wine and wealth encroach on the minds of the monks, under the banner of good for the people, the people's fields received under the name of the temple, the people in order to avoid taxes are naturally agreed, but the result is that the rent paid is higher than the tax, no matter the famine year, you can not be in shortage, otherwise there will be retribution for not respecting the Buddha, so when others take the grain of the righteous warehouse to live, they give the food to the temple, and then sell a baby cub to survive the disaster year, and if it is not good, sell the mother-in-law and aunt, after all, you can survive.

"Master Hou, you are angry again, you have seen it for the eldest lady, it is time to talk about you again." Xu Jie was talking on the side, and Cai Cong said to him angrily: "Get out, don't go with your mother-in-law, what are you going to do with me?" If something happens to Dongzhu, see if your father and my mother can let you go? ”

"Yes, be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, I'll accompany Dongzhu, she wants to drink green vegetable porridge, I have to ask the kitchen to make it for her." Xu Jie was originally going to the kitchen, but he just happened to pass by, and came in to spread the word on his behalf.

After Xu Jie left, Cai Cong felt uneasy, and when he left, in addition to sadness, there was despair in his eyes, not despair for Cai Cong, but despair for Buddhism. This monk knew too well the way Buddhism was doing, and he knew that he would not make changes, but would only resort to dirty means.

"Come on, go and call Xu Jingzong, Meng Baolai and Cai Gang to me." The more Cai Cong thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he had to make some defenses in advance. He is no longer simply fighting violence with violence, but regaining that cool head and relying on his brain to eat.

Otherwise, how could he have caused so much wind and rain in this locust plague? Du Ruhui, Li Tai, Daomen, Fang Xuanling and even himself are all his Cai Cong's pawns, just to be able to smoothly carry out the operation of exterminating locusts.

In the palace, Li Chengqian found Li Shimin with a black face, which was the first time he dared to give his father a black face. Li Shimin looked at him with interest, his son had finally grown up and dared to give him a face.

Motioning for Li Chengqian to sit down, Li Shimin said slowly: "My prince finally dares to express his thoughts to me, I am really happy, does the prince know when I first put on a face to the emperor?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, how could he know about such a thing? Li Shimin was not annoyed, and said nostalgically: "At that time, the tyrannical Sui was in power, and the people were not happy, and when I asked the Emperor Taishang to revolt, it was such an expression. Can the prince tell me why I have a black face? ”

Li Chengqian was a little cringe, the first time people put on their faces, then they had Datang, what did they have to put on their faces? However, he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, he still gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Doesn't my father think it's too much to treat my brother like this?" He was only nine years old, and he watched people being cut in the prison, and all the yellow bile he vomited came out, and he ate the convulsion powder, and he fell asleep in bed and was still crying. ”

A trace of heartache flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and then he said coldly: "Born in the emperor's family, you enjoy all the glory and wealth, but you also have your own responsibilities. I must be diligent and diligent in the world, your mother and stepmother are the example of the women in the world, and they dare not indulge themselves for a moment, even your grandfather has to endure the hatred of his father in his heart, and always force a smile to maintain the face of the heavenly family.

You said that your brother was about it, are you still embarrassed to bring it up? Since he has become the reincarnation of Wuqu Xing, he should take on this responsibility, do a decent job, and spit out everyone like this, how can he fight for Datang in the future? ”

Li Chengqian wanted to say that he would fight in the world, but unfortunately he also knew that Li Shimin would pull an ear scraper, and then tell him that the prince's duty was to govern the country, so that he could take over these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains from him in the future.

"Do you know what happened to me and your grandfather?" Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian had nothing to say, so he asked.

Li Chengqian had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, you rest more, and your sons will retire first." ”

"I was beaten with 20 sticks, and I couldn't get out of bed for half a month. But don't worry, I won't beat you, starting tomorrow, every day after noon, you will go to the Yue Palace's mansion to receive a few professors. Li Shimin said leisurely, Li Chengqian was like being struck by lightning, and his mother couldn't save people, so he put himself in.

Li Shimin looked at the prince who was walking away and sighed, can his prince understand his good intentions, but he is very grateful to Cai Cong's good intentions, if the royal family can make a smooth transition in the future, Cai Cong should be the first to take the lead.
