Chapter Ninety-One: Seeing Hypocrisy in the Xuandu View
Although Li Shimin also wanted to make Luo Yan an official again, there were indeed only a few pits under his hands, and they were all occupied, so he could only continue to keep Luo Yan under Li Xuandao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info, but you don't have to deal with a lot of business every day like you used to. At the same time, Luo Yan was also pulled back to the Literature Museum. It can be regarded as a further affirmation of Luo Yan's talent.
Luo Yan didn't care about the treatment given by Li Shimin. Anyway, he is now attracted by Huang Lao's theory.
Fast forward to April, and the controversy over Buddhism in the court officially ended. Because Li Yuan hated Shamen and Taoist priests to evade taxes and not abide by the precepts, Taoist temples were set up everywhere, so he issued an edict requiring monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and female crowns across the country to move to the big temple to provide food and clothing, while others were ordered to return to the vulgar and return to their hometowns. The capital retains three Buddhist temples, two Taoist temples, one in each state, and the rest are abolished.
For a while, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism were in turmoil.
Thinking that there are many Taoist temples in Chang'an, even if Xuji has worked hard in the past few months, I am afraid that he may not be able to pass the assessment at that time, so Luo Yan is still ready to go to Qingping Temple.
When I arrived at the view, I only heard it and sighed for a long time. As a junior brother, this assessment is indeed between the two. Compared with the void pole, several little Taoist priests of the Xuanzi generation are more reliable. Although Li Yuan asked the Taoist priests to move to Daguan, he always had to bring a few disciples here. In addition, these little Taoist priests are smart and clever, and they also have a deep understanding of Taoism, so it is safe to stay.
But for the matter of the void, Luo Yan is also helpless. He knew that there would definitely be someone in this matter who would protect some outsiders. So it's not impossible to ask for personal favors, but what makes it difficult for Luo Yan at this time is that he can't find such a person who can help him.
To say that he has come into contact with a lot of powerful people, Li Shimin is a prince. But it's useless, Luo Yan can't go to Li Shimin because of this little thing, and he will definitely be looked down upon by Li Shimin at that time. The rest of the people don't seem to be very effective in talking.
There is no way, Luo Yan can only be ready to spend money.
Pulling Xuzhi over, Luo Yan said: "Although I am now a penman in the Qin Palace, and I have also won some appreciation from the King of Qin, but about the matter of Xuzhi, I don't have the face to ask the King of Qin to come forward to help." So if you can open up the door at that time, the money left at that time will be used here, which is really not good, then you will also give a part of the void, so that he can buy a few acres of thin fields in Chang'an County and settle down, so that they can meet from time to time. ”
Now, I can only do it according to Luo Yan's method.
In mid-April, the clean-up of Chang'an Daomen was officially launched. Fortunately, Xuji's hard work in the past few months has not been in vain, and he finally got through the danger. At this moment, all the people in Ziqingpingguan moved to Xuandu Temple.
That's right, it's the Xuandu Temple that Luo Yan and the Cui brothers went to before. Because of its good management, the incense of Xuanduguan has always been prosperous, and there are a few Taoist monks who are cultivated deeply, so there is a copy of Xuanduguan in the two Taoist temples left in the capital. After hearing the news, Luo Yan ran over to visit them a few days after they moved to Xuandu Temple.
The Taoist priests in these four places are crowded here, and the open and secret battles are naturally continuous. Although Luo Yan himself didn't have the ability to help, when he visited Xuzhi, he inadvertently revealed that he was from the Qin Wangfu, which must have helped them as well.
Compared with the road to Qingpingguan, the road to Xuanduguan is much more lively. In April, it is the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom on the mountain, and tourists come and go along the way, which is very lively. No matter how many Taoist priests you have laid off, as long as the scenery is still the same, even if this Xuandu Temple is removed, it has nothing to do with it.
Slowly stepping on this long step, Luo Yan walked unhurriedly. Anyway, he came alone this time, neither brought food and drink, nor did he want those rich and noble families to bring a group of music classes. So in the crowd up and down, it is also very eye-catching.
When he arrived at the Xuandu Temple, ignoring the delicate peach blossoms that bloomed outside the temple, he told the Taoist priest of the governor that he wanted to visit Xuzhi, and after making it clear that Xuzhi was located before, the Taoist priest took Luo Yan to a small courtyard.
Different from the narrowness of the Qingping Temple, the Xuandu Temple has expanded very much in recent years, in addition to the hundreds of acres of peach blossoms outside the view, the houses in the view have also been built a lot. Because Xuzhi and Xuji are from the same Taoist temple, the assigned residences are also next to each other. As for a few little Taoist priests, they were naturally asked for by the calf protector as soon as they came in.
After seeing the void, I no longer pretend to be in front of people like when I was the master of the audience, but because now that I have food and clothing, I don't have to worry about it as usual, and this mood is naturally very happy. After pulling Luo Yan to sit down, he called the little Taoist priest: "Go, call your uncle, and say that Luo Xiaoshu is here." ”
"Haha, now call me Luo Bi, I'm no longer a school scrivener." Luo Yan is still embarrassed to let people directly call this school scrivener name. After all, if he is not in his position now, how can he still steal his name.
The little Taoist priest didn't say a word, and ran out directly and walked to the courtyard next to him. Fortunately, there is a different place here, and the child's heart is still a little detained, remembering that when Luo Yan went to Qingpingguan in the first month, it was this kid who opened the door, and at that time he was screaming and making trouble in Qingpingguan, which is like now. If this was put aside, the little Taoist priest would definitely shout through the wall: "Uncle Shi, that Luo Xiaoshu is here again." ”
Soon Xuji rushed over. I didn't say much when I entered the door, and I was a joke at Luo Yan.
This sudden salute made Luo Yan a little confused, and he hurriedly helped up the void pole, and said in a loud voice.
"No, you definitely deserve it." Said Xuzhi.
This made Luo Yan a little dazed, so he asked, "Could it be that the Void Pole Dao Master spent money to come in?" ”
This made a burst of laughter, only to hear Xuji say very dissatisfied: "Could it be that in Luo Xiaoshu's heart, my Xuji is such a lazy person." ”
Luo Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "You misunderstood, it's just that I was really dizzy by your gift, so I only thought of this reason." ”
Only then did the void soften his face.
After the three of them sat down, Xuzhi said slowly: "If you can really make money, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in, let alone Xuji." There are many Taoist temples in Chang'an, and there are not a few who are prosperous with incense, and there are not dozens of them in the hands of those fellow Taoists. ”
sighed that other people's lives were so rich, but a few of them lived a tight life every year, and continued to say: "Fortunately, today's saints also know the inside story, so the people sent down are extremely strict. All those who tried to get the money through were expelled on the spot. In this way, it is a lot more relieved for me to wait for these people who have no money on weekdays. Xuji was also let go because of the great effort he put in in the first few months. ”
At this time, Xuji interjected and said: "Yes, if Luo Xiaoshu hadn't mentioned this matter to me earlier, I'm afraid I would have been turning the earth outside the city at this time, where can I still read the scriptures every day like now." ”
Luo Yan rolled his eyes, it turns out that your boss is for this.
However, these people stayed, and Luo Yan was naturally very happy. However, Luo Yan still has some doubts.
"Since you can't make money, is there anything left by virtue of your relationship?" Luo Yan was very curious, in his opinion, he had moved the mind of asking someone for help, and I am afraid that others are not much worse, it is nothing more than a question of whether he can make a move.
"Originally, I thought there would be, but after a few days of contact, it really didn't." Xuzhi gave an answer that surprised Luo Yan very much. No, there isn't one. Luo Yan couldn't figure it out, could it be that the entire Xuandu Temple brought together most of the Taoist priests in Chang'an, and there was no parallel import?
"Even those governors in the meditation are much deeper than those fellow practitioners who have been expelled." Xuzhi seems to have seen through Luo Yan's thoughts. "Although many dignitaries and dignitaries have been closer to individual colleagues in recent years, this inspection has just become an opportunity for those nobles to test us. People are not stupid, if we have the ability, we will naturally pass, if we are deceived on weekdays, everyone has been deceived, it is already good if we don't look for trouble, how can we care about me. ”
The hypocrisy is indeed very reasonable. Dignitaries and nobles practice Buddhism and believe in the Tao and favor a certain master, which also depends on whether the other party's cultivation is really high. This time Li Yuan's dismissal of the family is a test, but if he can't pass it, he is not a fool, and he will continue to be deceived.
Looking at Luo Yan's sudden realization, he also laughed.
A few people talked for a while, and there was nothing more to say, so Luo Yan proposed to leave.
Just as he was waiting for Xuzhi to get up and send him off, Xuji said: "Luo Xiaoshu finally came here, you might as well take a look at the peach blossoms before leaving." Although it is not as quiet as Qingpingguan, this peach blossom is in full bloom, and it is also a good scenery. For Xuji's invitation, Luo Yan was a little tempted. has been in the Qin Wangfu for so long, and every day is to deal with the same trivial matters as before, if it weren't for the fact that there were still books to read, Luo Yan would be about to suffocate to death.
The two brothers led Luo Yan to a place where there were relatively few people, sat under the peach tree, and quietly enjoyed the flowers.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "Luo Xiaoshu has always been famous for his poetry, and when I come here today, I might as well leave a few sentences to add some fun." ”
It's not that this is a matter of embarrassment for Luo Yan, but I just think that such a good scenery is missing a few lines of poetry, which is indeed a pity.
Luo Yan didn't refuse, and came as soon as he opened his mouth:
"The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
There is nowhere to find the spring of long-hate, and I don't know how to turn into this. ”
Anyway, this is also to entertain yourself when you have nothing to do, and you don't need to put any special emotions, Luo Yan just changed a few words, and made Bai Juyi's poem "Xuandu Guanying Void to Taoist Peach Blossoms".
I thought that Luo Yan's poem name was a bit exaggerated, but when I saw it with my own eyes, the two Taoist priests were completely conquered, and they sat there for a long time, staring at Luo Yan.
