As soon as these words came out, several generals looked at Li Chengqian embarrassedly, until this time they still thought that Daxingshan Temple was the territory of Buddhism, and now the monk came to ask for Li Chengqian, it must be very difficult.

I didn't want Li Chengqian to have no consciousness of occupying the magpie's nest at all, so he asked calmly: "The monks in Chang'an City have all been sent by heaven and have all been caught to work as coolies, where did the monks come from?" ”

The East Palace guard hurriedly replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the long black and thin monk, said that he was Xuanzang who went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and also said that he saw His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

When Wei Chigong heard this, he glanced at Li Chengqian and said directly to the guard: "Since he is a senior monk who went to Tianzhu Kingdom to learn scriptures, let him live in other temples first!" ”

Wei Chigong had just received an invitation from Xiao Yu at home, inviting him to attend the Buddha Returning Conference.

Wei Chigong has been cultivating at home these days, and he didn't care about Buddhism, but he heard that Xuanzang went to Tianzhu alone to learn the scriptures, and walked back and forth for more than ten years, and finally got the scriptures back after a lot of hardships.

Therefore, he admired Xuanzang very much, and when he returned to the book, he was going to participate in the Buddha meeting held by Xiao Yu.

Because he was worried that Xuanzang would suffer a big loss if he competed with Li Chengqian at this time, he turned around and wanted to avoid a head-on conflict between Xuanzang and Li Chengqian.

I didn't want Li Chengqian, but he shook and said: "Since it's Xuanzang, let him come in and see how King Gu demolished these Buddha statues." ”

"Yes!" The guards turned around and went to deliver Li Chengqian's order.

Wei Chigong watched the guard leave, thought about it, bowed down and bowed to Li Chengqian, and persuaded: "Why should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be embarrassed by a monk? This matter has a bad reputation for His Royal Highness the Prince, so let him go. ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Wei Chigong and said lightly: "Xuanzang is not an ordinary monk, otherwise the Duke of Xuan Guo would not have turned around for him so hotly." ”

"Huh?" Wei Chigong was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he was too enthusiastic to cause Xuanzang to suffer, and secretly said in his heart: If the prince really wants to kill, he can't say that he can't protect Master Xuanzang.

Li Chengqian opened the folding fan and shook it gently, and said to Li Jing, who was standing next to him, who was like no one else: "Wei Guogong has been in good health recently?"

Hearing this, Li Jing hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister Hongfu's body is quite tough. ”

Li Chengqian also laughed when he heard this: "It's good that Wei Guogong is in good health, King Gu discussed with his father a few days ago that our Tang Royal Military and Political Academy wants you to preside over it, and you are ready to be the first dean." ”

Li Jing never expected that Li Chengqian would want him to preside over the Military and Political Academy, so he hurriedly excused himself and said: "The old minister has been too old to serve for many years, how can he be the first dean?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Duke Wei Guo doesn't have to be modest first, go in with King Gu to have a look." As he spoke, he went inside.

Everyone followed behind Li Chengqian, and while walking inside, they looked at the Great Xingshan Temple.

Li Chengqian is now practicing the injured foot, and he usually doesn't walk on crutches, and at this time he didn't forget to shake the folding fan, so the group walked very slowly.

Everyone followed Li Chengqian into the first courtyard, and saw a large pile of Buddha statues, Buddhist shrines and other things piled up in the middle of the courtyard, and some people were carrying them from behind.

The people who came from the East Palace all understood that Li Chengqian was demolishing the temple, but Li Jing and Wei Chigong had just arrived here and did not know Li Chengqian's plans.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you going to do here?" Yu Chigong exclaimed.

Li Chengqian looked at the tattered head and didn't look back, and said with a smile: "Of course, it is to make room for the military and political academy." ”

"Stop, you dare to destroy the golden body of the Buddha...... As he spoke, he saw several monks rushing to the people carrying the Buddha statue to block their way.

"Presumptuous! Dare to speak out in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and someone will take down these monks! Before Li Chengqian could react, Li Daliang had already stood in front of Li Chengqian and ordered loudly.

The guards of the East Palace immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xuanzang and several of his apprentices and escorted them to Li Chengqian, and several monks only understood who was the boss here, although they were not convinced, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Li Chengqian walked out from behind Li Daliang, and saw that only Xuanzang was escorted by the guards without saying a word or arguing, and he looked submissive, so he smiled indifferently and said, "Let Master Xuanzang go." Hearing this, the guard let go of Xuanzang.

Xuanzang was also calm, and after being released by the guards, he tidied up the monk's robe in a hurry, and then bowed to Li Chengqian with his hands together and said, "The poor monk sees His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Flat!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie! Xuanzang bowed his head again.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly and ignored him, looked back at the generals who followed, and said: "The Buddha statue here will be cleaned up in a few days, this place was originally called the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and later changed to the Hall of Divine Generals to enshrine some loyal and brave generals of the past dynasties.

Shangfeng asked His Majesty to decree that they would be appointed as gods. ”

Hearing this, Li Jing and the others hurriedly bowed down and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Li Chengqian then said: "Your Majesty missed Zheng Wenzhen Gong Wei Zheng a few days ago, and wanted to paint dozens of portraits of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty in Lingyan Pavilion. It's not okay for the lonely king to just hang the portrait in the Lingyan Pavilion, and there are also a few portraits of my generals of the Tang Dynasty, so that the scholars here can learn from the generals of my Tang Dynasty to protect the family and defend the country. ”

Originally, as soon as Wei Zheng died, Li Shimin asked Yan Liben to draw the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion.

However, after Li Chengqian crossed over, Wei Zheng died just in time for Li Tai's rebellion, and Li Shimin did not miss the old ministers who fought with him at that time.

Later, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had a stalemate, and Wei Zheng was loyal to Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin was even more unlikely to let people paint a portrait of him.

It wasn't until Li Shimin and Li Chengqian reconciled for the second time that Li Shimin mentioned the idea of drawing a picture for the heroes in Lingyan Pavilion.

This matter is not a secret in the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian mentioned that he wanted to hang a few paintings here at this time, naturally he was hanging military generals, and the people here are obviously qualified to hang them, to put it bluntly, it is still to clean up people's hearts.

Sure enough, these old foxes understood, and they saluted Li Chengqian excitedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise. ”

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "I still need all the secretaries to work together." ”

"I should die for the Tang Dynasty!"

……

Li Chengqian saw that it was almost there, so he continued to walk inside.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is my Buddhist sect, how can it be used for other purposes?" Xuanzang couldn't help it.

Li Chengqian glanced at him, stretched out his hand and gestured at the entire Daxingshan Temple: "King Xuanzang Lonely clearly told you that this is my Datang place, not a pure place for Buddhism, these palaces and pavilions are all built with state funds and people's wealth, and they have nothing to do with the Buddha.

King Gu now took back the officers who were used as the imperial court to train and lead the troops, and in the future, these officers will protect their families and defend the country. ”

Xuanzang was stunned when he heard this, and saw the broken Buddha statues and other things piled up together, and said to Li Chengqian: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, this place is the place of the Tang Dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can naturally take it back if he wants to take it back for other purposes." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, thinking that Xuanzang was going to compromise, and only Li Chengqian knew that he would have something to do next.

Sure enough, I saw Xuanzang pointing to the broken Buddha statue and said: "But these Buddhas are always the things of Buddhism, even if the monks here have been sent by heaven, but the Buddha and the Buddhas have not been sent by heaven, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to show mercy to the poor monks to take away these Buddhist things." ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian pointed to the broken Buddha statue and asked in a cold voice: "Xuanzang, you said that these things are all things of Buddhism?"

"Exactly, where are the Buddha statues enshrined besides the Buddha Gate?"

At this time, Xuanzang still wanted to rely on his argumentation skills to argue back to this Daxingshan Temple, but unfortunately he met Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian pointed to the broken Buddha statue and looked at Xuanzang and said, "Is this a Buddha statue?" Then what do you tell the Buddha of the Lonely King?"

"Uh......" Ren is Xuanzang, who is well-informed, and he can't explain what a Buddha is for a while.

At this time, the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism had not yet been born, and Xuanzang deceived Li Chengqian by saying that the Buddha was the Buddha, but with Xuanzang's current level, he really couldn't explain the "Buddha" in Sanskrit.

Xuanzang couldn't explain it here, but Puguang, who was still being held, said loudly: "A Buddha is a Buddha." How could a Buddha be something else?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded and continued to ask, "In that case, how can a Buddha have an image?"

"Uh......"

A group of monks, including Xuanzang, fell into hard thought.

Li Chengqian saw that they frowned and thought about it for a long time to find nothing, and said very proudly: "It's better for the lonely king to tell you!" Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing in the first place, where can there be dust?"

"Ahh Xuanzang was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Go back and enlighten yourself!" ”
