Chapter 165: Rumors, Offerings
Chang'an City has been very lively recently... Or Chang'an City has always been very lively, but recently it has been more lively, the last festival when Chang'an people watched a lively, originally thought that this matter would end with the victory of the Daomen and won the emperor's commendation. β Pineapple & Smallβ said
Unexpectedly, things seemed to have taken a big turn.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, as representatives of the Daomen, came to the Daomen and said very seriously in front of Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, it is rumored that you gave the Buddha Gate customs clearance documents and identity certificates to allow him to travel west, but I don't know if it's true?" β
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, what do these two people mean? Came to see me and asked such a sentence without a head or a brain? Why do you need to ask them for what you do?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face was not good, not everyone can show their face when they stopped, who do they think they are? ?
Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand and said, "What, I need to explain to you what I do?" β
Hearing Li Shimin's tone, Li Chunfeng knew that it was not good, and it seemed that his master was too direct.
Li Chunfeng intercepted before his master spoke: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, after all, this matter is related to which one of the cross slopes Obviously, looking at his means of flying immortals, it is clearly the sword immortal in Shuzhong, after all, the two veins of Buddhism and Taoism have the view of the portal, if this rumor arises, our Daomen is also afraid of provoking which one is unhappy, and the means of opening the mountain with the big sword that day is not something that anyone can bear!" The master was anxious and spoke in a heavier tone, and asked Your Majesty to forgive me. β
Now Yuan Tiangang is also in a cold sweat behind his back, he was too angry just now, but he yelled at the emperor, and now it seems that the emperor is angry, and if he doesn't do it, he will kill himself, but fortunately, his apprentice stopped him.
Feeling kicked by the apprentice under his feet, Yuan Tiangang said helplessly: "It's rude, it's really too big, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." β
Everyone has admitted their mistakes and bowed their heads, Li Shimin is not the kind of unreasonable person, besides, Li Chunfeng also mentioned before that Chen Mo may be a sword immortal in Shuzhong, a person who belongs to the Daomen, although he is not sure, but there is really no need to go to the door for this.
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Forget it, what's going on?" Let's talk about it carefully. β
Li Shimin didn't know why the two of them came here, so he asked immediately, but as soon as he asked, he felt wrong.
It turned out that I didn't know where the news came from, saying that the reason why the eighteen stick monks of Xiaolin Temple did not appear at that time was because they received the guidance of the immortals of the cross slope and practiced in the spiritual land.
Leaving Jueyuan alone to face the predicament, later the immortals felt guilty because they felt that it was their own reasons that made Buddhism lose the victory of the puja, especially felt ashamed of Jueyuan, because Jueyuan not only fought alone but also lost many honors, so he decided to compensate them.
The person who compensated was not only Jueyuan, but also the senior monk Xuanzang and the eighteen stick monks of Xiaolin Temple, so there was this westward journey.
The so-called westward journey is a practice of going to the West Tianling Mountain to see the Buddha, and the people who can go are all people with great blessings, and this blessing naturally falls on Xuanzang and Jueyuan, and it doesn't matter who the other two are.
It can have something to do with Chen Mo, a rumored immortal, which is almost the most popular topic in Chang'an, not to mention that it also involves rumors such as the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, which are almost people's biggest pastime after tea and dinner.
In addition, someone is fueling the troubles, and soon there will be a situation that will spread from Chang'an and quickly spread all over the world.
Li Shimin recruited Li Yu to understand the situation, and got a report that there were many more monks near Chang'an, and these monks used some snacks and other things to teach children to tell these so-called rumors.
Li Shimin thought about it for a while, and felt that the methods were very familiar, it seemed that there were shadows of these methods when the eggs were hot, and these monks learned fast enough.
Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "I know these things, the customs clearance documents are true, and the identity certificate is also true, but these are also all asked by the cross-slope, if you have any questions, you can ask him." β
Li Shimin would not put all the responsibility on his head, he was originally released to them because of Chen Mo's request, otherwise he would not know who these people were.
After learning the truth of the matter, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng rushed to the cross slope after confessing, of course, they would only go to worship the mountain, not Xingshi to ask for the guilt, but they remembered the fact that Buddhism used this opportunity to publicize themselves.
The custom of the Chinese New Year is very important for China, and at this time there will basically be no more people who go far away, but there is a group of people driving cattle and sheep on the road at the border pass.
Nangong rode on a tall horse and beckoned the others and shouted: "Everyone work hard, you can rest when you arrive in Chang'an, this dedication can make the master see the ability and value outside."
With these cattle, sheep and horses, we will be more valuable in the hearts of our masters, and the masters will protect us, and we will have a good life in this case! Do you understand? β
"Understand !!"
Everyone shouted at the top of their voices, they really knew how powerful Chen Mo was, and they also knew the abundance of Chen Mo's pasture, and now they could have such a life thanks to Chen Mo, of course, they hoped to show their value in exchange for more protection and care from Chen Mo.
Seeing the high morale of the people, Nangong nodded with a smile, especially when he saw the thousand cavalry and two hundred infantry, this was the part he dreamed of when he was a child.
Nangong Meng led people to drive cattle and sheep to the direction of Chang'an, originally a team like this would definitely be the target of the mountain bandits and road tyrants, but this time no one dared to attack their ideas.
The cavalry and archery team of 1,000 people is not something that ordinary people can provoke, although these herdsmen from the Turks took refuge in Chen Mo, but they did not put down their weapons, but became the guards of Chen Mo's pasture, and the displaced people of the Tang Dynasty also formed some militia groups of two hundred people, although the equipment is a little backward, and there is no leather armor and crossbow, but the spears in their hands should not be underestimated.
The ranch has a total of more than 2,000 people, excluding the old and the young, it can almost be said that all the people are soldiers, except for the militia of 300 people left for defense, the border pasture has no means of defense.
In fact, Nangong Meng took away all the capable warriors of the Turks, and the purpose was to prevent rebellion, and the rest were old and weak and incapable of rebelling.
As for whether it will be harassed by foreign enemies? That's even more of a joke, the master Chen Mo has the ability to arrive at the ranch at any time, otherwise Nangong Meng wouldn't have taken everyone away with confidence, leaving only a few hundred people stationed there.
