Chapter 68: Clouds in All Directions

Time went back to an hour ago, Xuanzang hurriedly took his brother back to Huichang Temple after begging Yang Wenhua to no avail.

In a meditation room, not long ago, Li Shimin ordered to preside over Longtian Temple, temporarily borrowed Falin again, and was playing Go with the abbot Daoyue.

The two eminent monks were a little absent-minded at this time, and they were always a little worried when they talked about the current dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

This is also a helpless thing, the old Li family of the royal family recognized Lao Tzu Li Er as the ancestor, and Buddhism was naturally suppressed by Taoism.

At this moment, Xuanzang hurriedly broke in.

Seeing that Xuanzang was gasping for breath, Falin looked anxious, handed over a bowl of water, frowned and said, "Why is Xuanzang so anxious? Let's take a sip of water first. ”

Xuanzang took the water handed by Falin, drank it and gasped, and said with a wry smile: "It's the little monk who looks good." ”

Daoyue has always been very optimistic about Xuanzang, and he also praised his Buddhism, usually Xuanzang can always maintain a light and light style, but at this time he was anxious to become this appearance, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What happened?"

"I don't know where to start."

Xuanzang smiled bitterly, and then recited: "Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, when he walks in the deep Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he will overcome all suffering. Relics, the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is empty, and the emptiness is the color.

As a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror, always wipe diligently, do not cause dust.

Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust. ”

"Amitabha."

Daoyue and Fa Lin listened to Xuanzang's recitation of Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist poems, and were immediately shocked, the two of them put their palms together and chanted the Buddha's name, Daoyue even asked: "Xuanzang, I can't imagine that your Buddhism is so diligent, it's really gratifying." ”

"The two masters misunderstood, it was not the little monk who understood, but the little monk who heard it in front of the Inspiration Temple just now."

Then Xuanzang explained what happened just now, "Which master only said that after the little monk travels west, he can truly revitalize Buddhism, and the important thing is not the true scriptures, but what he has seen and heard all the way to the west, what do the two masters think?" ”

"Since that person is a person who has attained enlightenment, he will not come without a purpose, what he has seen and heard all the way to the west?"

Daoyue saw that Fa Lin was still comprehending the few lines of Buddhist poetry just now, frowned and thought for a while, and said as if he had gained something: "Xuanzang, do you mean that the current emperor is interested in the West, and your westward travel can help the current emperor."

Yes, you must have traveled all the way to the west, and when you come back, the emperor must have pacified the Quartet, and what you have seen and heard all the way west is naturally urgently needed by the imperial court, it must be so. ”

The more Daoyue spoke, the brighter his eyes became, and finally he was sure.

Xuanzang said with some worry: "But now the emperor doesn't let the little monk go west, what can I do?" ”

"Don't worry, since the man said to let you go west, I think he will definitely help you." Dao Yue is full of confidence.

"Amitabha."

At this time, Falin woke up from enlightenment, smiled bitterly and said: "It's a poor monk, Chang'an is not a place to cultivate, and the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism will end here in the future. ”

Dao Yue was shocked, Fa Lin was the vanguard of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and he was about to persuade one or two, but there was a voice from outside the door, and there was a voice of the Holy Decree.

The three of them hurriedly greeted them, only to learn that it was Li Shimin, announcing the will of the three of them to enter the palace immediately.

On the other side, Li Chunfeng got the Taishang Induction Chapter, and hurriedly ran to find Yuan Tiangang, after some narration.

"There are ruts in the front wheels, and there are ruts in the rear wheels, round after round, and when is the turn to stop."

Yuan Tiangang held the Taishang Induction Chapter, took a few steps back and forth with words, and sighed: "Everything in the world, ups and downs are endless, what is the real win or loss there, it's just that, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism is over." ”

"Teacher Gao believes that we are fighting with Buddhism at this time, and it is indeed a bit of a sacrifice to the end, but we should look at the place and eradicate those wild temples on the ground, which is the most important thing at the moment."

"Not bad."

Yuan Tiangang nodded, walked to the window, looked outside and said: "My Daomen is an orthodox sect in China, and it should be our responsibility to protect the Chinese believers.

Now there are always all kinds of fox gods obscene for the chaos of the place, and even more so there are living sacrifices, such existence since the early extinction of the good, Chunfeng, with the teacher into the palace face saint. ”

On the other hand, after Cui Dunli got the disciple rules again, he also found someone to show off, "Mr. Wen Ji, what do you think of this disciple rule?" ”

Li Gang, who was already eighty years old, sat on a recliner and nodded slowly, "Very good, there are nine Confucianism in Confucius Sage, eight in Dong Zhongshu's Confucianism, and only seven in my generation's Confucianism, and this disciple rule should be nine." ”

It was the first time Cui Dunli had heard of such a grading method in Confucianism, and although he knew the preciousness of this article on disciple rules, he didn't expect to get such a high evaluation from Li Gang, and he was surprised.

"Mr. Wen Ji is exaggerating, although this disciple rule is precious, how can it be compared with Sage Kong?"

Li Gang just smiled and didn't answer, and just as Cui Dunli was about to continue the debate, the voice of the Holy Decree came from outside.

Just when Yang Wenhua arrived at the Vermilion Bird Gate, many famous places in Chang'an, many famous places in Chang'an, and Li Shimin had been invited into the palace first.

In the Taiji Hall of Daxing Palace, Li Shimin lived high on His Majesty, constantly looking at Zhang Baijuan, but without looking at Bai Juan, he couldn't help but nod his head, and from time to time he would shoot and applaud.

After reading the last one, Li Shimin instructed His Majesty's chamberlain to distribute Bai Juan to His Royal Highness's ministers.

"All of you look at it, this person is really amazing, the poems he writes are all-encompassing, or magnificent, or sincere, and the first poem is exquisite."

At this time, another attendant hurriedly came to report, "Sage, that person shouted outside the Suzaku Gate, claiming to be the Donggui monk Sanzang, saying that there is a heavy treasure dedicated to the sage, and this time is about to come." ”

"Oh, hahaha, so good, such a virtuous person, he actually claims to have a heavy treasure dedicated to me, I am very relieved."

Li Shimin laughed a few times, couldn't help but be proud, looked at the eyes of some people below, and became meaningful, because of the throne obtained by killing his brother and killing his brother and imprisoning his father, many people will naturally have opinions about Li Shimin.

At this time, Yang Wenhua, a person who has extremely high attainments in the three aspects of interpretation, Taoism and Confucianism, and can also make many poems, and said that he wants to offer heavy treasures, will undoubtedly greatly improve Li Shimin's prestige.

There are sages in the world to vote, how to say that it is also the performance of the holy monarch in the court, and Li Shimin can naturally be proud.

Among the ministers, those who support Li Shimin are naturally sycophants at this time.

"Congratulations to the saint for winning this sage, my Datang will definitely be more prosperous."
