Chapter 197: Gold in the Coals

Just when everyone was guessing how fierce the battle between Li Chengqian and Xiao Yu and Buddhism would be later, Li Chengqian walked in with a smile on his crutches.

"Son-in-law and father!"

"Excuse me, come and sit on the edge of me!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's face and said gently.

When Li Chengqian walked to the seat next to Li Shimin and sat down, all the people in the congregation got up and saluted him.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

After everyone sat down, Li Chengqian first raised his wine glass with both hands and toasted Li Shimin, and Li Shimin drank the wine to Xiao Yu to make a look, which meant that Xiao Yu took the initiative to toast Li Chengqian to show weakness.

But Li Chengqian didn't wait for Xiao Yu to make a move, but first smiled and said: "Erchen heard that Jinyang's illness has been cured, and my father is happy to go to Xiangcheng sister to have fun, so I specially brought a few prostitutes to help my father's fun." ”

Li Shimin hadn't spoken yet when he heard this, and Xue Wanche, who was sitting behind him, said loudly: "Dare His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to perform another "The Legend of the White Snake" here?"

As soon as Xiao Yu's face came out, his face was not good-looking, but Li Chengqian said angrily: "The courtesan who played Fahai was injured by you, how can you play "The Legend of the White Snake"?"

Xue Wanche smiled embarrassedly when he heard this: "That's really a bald donkey is too hateful, it is the minister who ...... it if he misses it for a while, and the minister is willing to pay him to recuperate from his injuries." ”

Xiao Yu and the faces of the Dharma Monk had turned iron blue.

Li Chengqian knew that Xue Wanche was a rammer, and it was important to clean up Xiao Yu at this time, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about it now, just send two pieces of money to the East Palace tomorrow." ”

Xue Wanche was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to say that you still want me for two yuan, but Li Chengqian didn't give him a chance to speak, and waved his hand directly to the back, and two young people walked in between the seats.

"Father will ask them to tell you a joke, and you can just listen to it and have fun." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin wanted to reconcile the relationship between Li Chengqian, Xiao Yu and the Buddha's door, so naturally he would not refuse Li Chengqian's request at this time.

Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin nodding, and gave the two new young men a look again, and the two began to talk.

This paragraph was told to them by Li Chengqian with slight changes based on the modern cross talk "Tethered Doll".

The main story is that a neighbor told a person who was an official that your parents had no son back then, so they went everywhere to burn incense and beg for a child, and finally in a Buddhist temple, his mother lived alone in the temple for a few days and became pregnant.

When the people heard, "Wait, my father has no son, then where did I come from?"

Everyone at the banquet was full of laughter, especially Xue Wanche who was even more smiling.

It's just that when this person's parents went to Emei Mountain to ask for a child, they talked about leaving his mother alone to live in the Daxiong Treasure Hall for seven days, and the people below understood that Li Chengqian was in the Black Buddha Gate again.

Finally, I heard the neighbor say, "O old monk Dorling! The two young storytellers stepped back.

The hall was full of laughter, Xuanzang looked calm, and Xiao Yu and several monks were full of anger.

"Humph!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but snort angrily.

Everyone was a little embarrassed, and gradually stopped laughing, only Xue Wanche still slapped the table in front of him with both hands and laughed.

Li Shimin couldn't help but glare back at him, and Xue Wanche barely stopped laughing, but his two eyes kept looking at Xiao Yu with a wicked smile.

Xiao Yu looked angry, and couldn't help but say to Li Chengqian: "How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be the prince of the country with such vulgar words?"

This is Li Chengqian's low taste.

Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this: "I was about to ask Mrs. Xiao, how to solve the problem of "Zuo Chuan" for five years, 'Spring, the Duke will be like Tang Guanyu......'?"

Xiao Yu was speechless when he heard this, Li Shimin's face became very ugly, and the others at the scene were also frightened and silent.

Li Chengqian's question to Xiao Yu at this time was that Lu Yingong recorded in the "Zuo Biography" was going to Tang to watch the locals fishing, and the minister thought that this was not what the monarch should do (at that time, Lu was mainly engaged in agriculture and hunting, not fishing).

This article mainly talks about the fact that there should be rules for what the monarch should do, what should be done in the spring, what should be done in the summer, and watching fish should not be the thing that the monarch should do.

Li Chengqian mentioned it at this time, naturally insinuating that Li Shimin should not come to Xiao Mansion to do something like Shi Chengjin.

Xiao Yu did this minister and invited the emperor to come to see these strange things, and he could almost be classified as a traitor.

The monk smiled faintly and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know that the Tianzhu monk invited by the poor monk today can turn stones into gold, and the Duke of Song invited His Majesty to come and watch it is also for state affairs." ”

Xiao Yu also said angrily: "Exactly! The use of the state is a major national event, and it is a matter of course for His Majesty to come and watch. ”

Li Chengqian snorted coldly when he heard this, looked at the monk and said, "Turn stones into gold, then give the lonely king a look." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile when he heard this: "Go and ask the monk of Tianzhu to demonstrate it again to the prince!" ”

Li Shimin can see it, what is he saying today, he also came to Xiao Mansion to see the Tianzhu monk's stone turned into gold, if this cannot be confirmed, the future history books will inevitably record his dedication to monks.

But if it is true that the Tianzhu monk can really turn stones into gold, it can also be recorded that it is because he is virtuous and feels that the heavens are so that the Tianzhu monks came to turn stones into gold for the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, that day the Zhu Divine Monk has just finished doing the rituals, and the mana consumption is serious, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"Aren't there still a few Tianzhu monks?"

The monk couldn't help but scold Xiao Yu in his heart for being a pit goods, but seeing Li Shimin's face and Li Chengqian's eyes, he swallowed all the words he wanted to say.

He has been in Chang'an City for a while, and he knows that Li Chengqian is terrible, and knows that if he can't turn stones into gold again today, Li Shimin suspects that Li Chengqian may kill him.

Watching the monk walk towards the small Buddha hall with a heavy heart, Li Chengqian sneered in his heart and said secretly: This is just the beginning.

After a while, the monk returned with confidence to salute Li Shimin and Li Chengqian and invited them to watch.

Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Let's go and have a look!" ”

Li Chengqian chuckled lightly and got up and followed behind Li Shimin, and came to the big Buddha statue in front of the small Buddha hall in Xiao Mansion together.

Li Chengqian saw several monks loading coal into Dading, and under the lamplight, he could clearly see that some of the coal blocks were unprocessed natural coal pieces dug up, and some were obviously processed things similar to coal cakes.

"Where does the gold come from?" Li Chengqian stepped forward and pointed to the coal road.

"His Royal Highness the Prince Hui is not burned gold, these charcoal are only burned for the purpose of starting a fire when casting spells, and the fundamental thing is that the Tianzhu monks practice the Dharma and chant the scriptures." The monk is calm and authentic.

Li Chengqian looked back at the monk and asked bluntly, "So there is no gold in these coals now?"

Without waiting for the Dharma propagation monk to speak, Li Shimin said in a weird manner: "The Tianzhu monk has not done it yet, and there is naturally no gold in it." ”

Li Chengqian was about to speak when he heard this, and when he turned around, he saw that several monks had already loaded all the coal into the big ding, and he was about to light the fire and hurriedly said loudly: "Slow! ”

As he spoke, he limped to the Dading with his crutches, lifted the crutches and stretched out into the Dading, pointed to a piece of coal, and said: "Please come and break this piece of coal for the Lone King, there is gold in it." ”

Before everyone could react when they heard this, they saw Cheng Wuting jumping out of nowhere and running to Li Chengqian's side, bending down and taking out a piece of charcoal in front of everyone, and as soon as he used his hands to exert force, the piece of charcoal shattered, and the sharp-eyed people saw a little yellow light from a pile of cinders.

Li Chengqian pointed with a cane, Cheng Wuting bent down to pick up a piece of gold from the coal pile, wiped off the coal ash with his hands and held it up for everyone to see clearly.
