Li Shimin said that the dragon walked outside with tiger steps, and the group was riding a tall horse, only Cai Cong was riding a foal, and he was a white dwarf, and he was honestly aggrieved.

Although Li Shimin has not been in battle for several years, he has not pulled down his kung fu, and he shot a tiger with a crossbow in just one hour, and his pride was fully revealed, Cai Cong was deeply shocked, this is Li Shimin's iron-blooded side, killing a tiger is like killing a chicken.

"This thing is very good, immediately hand over the drawings to the military department, within three months, I will see 5,000 crossbows and 200,000 iron arrows." Li Shimin immediately issued an order to ask Cai Cong to hand over the drawings.

"This thing is not complete, and the minister will hand over the drawings, I am afraid that the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry may not be able to make it." Cai Cong said very calmly, it's not that he looks down on the people in the Ministry of Industry, but that the Ministry of Industry is like a pool of stagnant water, it's okay to paint a cat and a tiger, this kind of research thing, Cai Cong gave them three months, but I'm afraid they won't even make progress.

Li Shimin frowned very unhappily, could it be that the dignified Ministry of Imperial Court Industry couldn't compare to the Cai family's kittens and dogs? "Don't say more, just hand over the drawings and craftsmen to the Ministry of Works. Although your Cai family is the developer, you are never allowed to make and sell it or keep it privately. Do you understand? ”

The weapon of the country, the importance of this crossbow is not much worse than that of the eight bull crossbows, Li Shimin will not allow a courtier to hold such a sharp weapon, Cai Cong can't.

"In that case, the minister will send the drawings when he goes back." Cai Cong said lightly, anyway, the production is made in the workshop, and no one knows which craftsmen developed it, so just send a few people and drawings from the workshop to come over.

"Recently, there was a monk named Faya in Chang'an, have you heard?"

"The minister has also heard of it, and I heard that he must be accompanied by dignitaries when he goes in and out, and he is regarded as a guest by Mr. Pei Lone, and he is extremely respected, but the minister doesn't know what is different about this monk."

Cai Cong said with a smile, this monk had already caused a sensation when he entered the city, Pei Lian, as an old man, actually gave him the carriage to ride, and walked to the side to talk, which made the people of Chang'an amazed. You must know that Pei Lin is an old minister of the country, seniority and even the first minister of the dynasty, what monk is qualified to let him serve like this, Bodhidharma came to the world, or did Shakyamuni Buddha come?

"You secretly investigated that this monk is sacred to all parties, and Pei Lin has always thought highly of himself. On weekdays, I rely on the old and sell the old, and I don't even pay attention to it, and suddenly do such an abnormal move, there must be a demon. ”

Li Shimin ordered Cai Cong, it doesn't matter if others believe in monks, but Pei Lin is different, although he doesn't have much ability, but where are the qualifications, even Fang Xuanling Du Ruhui and other important ministers have to give him three points, and his every move is enough for many people to follow suit.

"The minister turned around to check, today the minister really does not believe that the great monks of Buddhism will enter the world, this trip to the muddy water can not be washed clean as soon as they step in, those monks dare to step in, but I am afraid that the final heritage of Buddhism is gone. The minister didn't believe that they didn't see that Sun Shenxian only showed up and hid some time ago, not because he was afraid of implicating the Daomen. Cai Cong walked slowly and said leisurely.

Li Shimin smiled and pointed at him with a whip, and said angrily: "If you hadn't scared people, would Immortal Sun be scared and hide back in the mountains?" You and the beam of the Daomen have become bigger. ”

Not long after Sun Simiao appeared, Cai Cong sent someone to warn him that if he was really compassionate, he would help the people more. If he dares to come out and pretend to be a ghost, he will do it to the Daomen.

At that time, he beat the Buddha door to the ground, and Sun Simiao was frightened that there were no miracles, and he practiced medicine and healing in a down-to-earth manner. No matter how virtuous he is, it's useless, Cai Cong won't make a move on him, pinching his weakness and bullying other Taoist temples.

"Hehe, what a great person Sun Lao Immortal is, what kind of muddy water is he stepping on? It's better to do something practical. Now the two big ones are inseparable, just to compete for believers, but all the rules and regulations are left behind, and the inside and outside of the two doors are chaotic. If these virtuous people are also destroyed, those two gates will be completely unsaved.

I heard that Xuanzang has found you many times, and you want to clear the customs and go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, this monk is not simple! He is a man of perseverance, and if he succeeds, Buddhism will be rejuvenated, and then it will be in trouble. ”

I thought so, and so I rejected his request. It has been a full two years since you took over this matter, and when you said that within ten years, you would let the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism pay taxes, but now there are only eight years, and these eight years have to do what the previous dynasties have not done, and I will naturally not make it more difficult for you. ”

Li Shimin said as a matter of course, no matter how noble a monk's belief is, how can it be compared with the great cause of the empire?

"But this is a monk with faith, His Majesty does not agree to give him a customs clearance, he will inevitably go to Tianzhu secretly. When the time comes, let him out of the Yumen Pass, and then send someone to escort him on a journey, and when he returns from Tianzhu, it will be the time of the great dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and it is also the time to close the net.

Pull them back to the world from Huawai and be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and also return the people to two clean sects, instead of the false doctrine of mercy that sucks the people's fat and sucks the blood of the people. Cai Cong said with confidence, as long as the news of Xuanzang's Xitian scriptures is released, the Daomen will do his best to fight the Buddhism, and a large number of people with interests will die, and he will coerce some ungodly people to return to the world, and the rest will be much easier.

"In another twenty years, I will return the academy to you, and give you a chance to become a saint."

Li Shimin sat on the horse and suddenly spoke. Cai Cong was stunned for a moment, nodded and did not speak. The two of them had their own thoughts, so they rode towards the palace.

Before he reached the Suzaku Gate, he saw Wei Zheng standing in the middle of the road from a distance. Cai Cong is nothing, Li Shimin trembled, who told him, this old man never looks at the time and place, and often makes Li Shimin unable to get off the stage.

As soon as he greeted him, Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Wei Aiqing, this time I am not hunting, but to deal with Chang'anhou, I don't believe you can ask Chang'anhou." ”

"Weichen knows that His Majesty is not going to play, and the minister can't find His Majesty in the palace, and Manager Yan has already told the minister." Wei Zheng said very politely, Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief, last time he was just raising a bird, and he was scared to death by Wei Zheng in his arms, if Wei Zheng felt that he was going to play, then wouldn't he be dead to himself?

"Although Your Majesty is doing business, but this matter can also be done in the palace, how can Your Majesty leave the palace easily? Moreover, the people don't know what Your Majesty is doing, and they only think that Your Majesty is going to play. If there is something good at the top, the bottom will follow it, and I hope Your Majesty will be cautious. ”

Who is Wei Zheng? How could he give up the opportunity to open his mouth, in the first year of Zhenguan, in just one year, he spoke more than 200 times, almost every two days, Li Shimin once, what a terrible thing?

"What's that, the minister still has government affairs to deal with, and the minister retired first." Cai Cong also coaxed, Wei Tiemian likes to open a group mode, that is, he scares a group of people alone, which is very powerful.

"Chang'an Hou Liubu, you have a lot of capable people under you, and you don't have to do everything yourself. And stay and listen to the old man. Wei Zheng reached out and grabbed his pony and said with a blank face.

"This, I've been doing things myself lately, and I don't know what I'm doing after all. I'd better go on my own! Cai Cong was uncomfortable by Wei Zheng, and said embarrassedly, this old man will not let go of himself after all.

Recently, I went on a business trip to Chaozhou, and I really didn't have a time code. After a few days, I will resume the two watches when I go back to Shenzhen, and Yibai first said that I was embarrassed.
