"The people of my Datang are actually the most easily fooled group, although primary education such as Mongolian learning is now being popularized, they are still too ignorant and easy to be deceived." Li Chengqian stood at the door of the study and looked into the distance, and his voice was very empty.

"But what does this have to do with opening the palace?" Xiaobai continued to ask.

"The more you hide anything, the more curious you will be, and the more curious you are, the more you want to explore." Li Chengqian turned his head, looked at Bai Yuening and said, "Were you also curious about this time before entering the palace?" Are you also guessing how many steamed buns the emperor will eat every day? ”

Bai Yuening lowered her head a little embarrassed, in fact, she did guess like this, and she even thought that if it was an emperor, she didn't have to.

Fortunately, Li Chengqian didn't let her answer this question, and after a short pause, he continued: "Opening the imperial palace does not mean that the people can go anywhere, I just want the people to understand what the imperial city looks like and how the major institutions work, and I want them to know that in fact, the emperor is no different from them." ”

"Datang is very big, and there are many people with ulterior motives, instead of letting them talk about how I am outside, it is better for me to open my mind and let the whole world see what kind of person I am!"

"Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live. Ma Zhou's voice came from behind Li Chengqian, this guy had just come in from outside when he heard someone's heart, and he gave a sycophant on the spot.

"Alright, get up, don't pretend to be a submissive person, I know you're not that kind of person." Li Chengqian turned around again, looked at Ma Zhou who was pestle outside the door and said, "One by one, they won't talk well." ”

Ma Zhou smiled, and then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you did this too hastily, and you didn't say hello to everyone in advance." ”

"This palace is my own home, what's wrong with opening every ten days?" Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, turned around and walked into the room, and said angrily: "Don't tell me anything about the selfless affairs of the heavenly family, if you dare to say that I will beat you up." ”

"Your Majesty, that's not what the minister wants to say." Ma Zhou shook his head with a wry smile and said: "What the minister means is that you should say it in advance, Wei Weiqing and they should also be mentally prepared to arrange the palace guards in advance." There is also the fact that those elders are actually afraid that after the palace ban is lifted, some people will go out to chew their tongues and deliberately exaggerate, if that is the case, wouldn't it ruin Your Majesty's plan. ”

"I have a big plan, you guys know all day long to think about ......, forget it, I can't make sense of this with you!" Li Chengqian spoke ill of the tongue and turned around to say something, but finally gave up again.

Li Chengqian actually doesn't care that someone says bad things about him outside, this kind of thing actually happens every day, after all, he is just an ordinary person, not a piece of gold that everyone will like. So he didn't expect everyone in Datang to say that he was good, as long as they could think about Datang wholeheartedly and not always think about taking advantage of the country, Li Chengqian was already very content.

The reason why he wants to open the palace is just to learn the tricks from those crooked nuts, to express to the outside world an attitude of opening up and not closing himself.

But what he is doing now is what can be done but not said, if he understands it, he will inevitably get an evaluation of fame and reputation, so Li Chengqian held back his anger and had no place to make it, so he had to take Ma Zhou out of anger.

Ma Zhou was frightened by Li Chengqian's pause, shrunk his neck, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the crime deserves death." ”

You must know that although Li Chengqian said casually just now, there was a meaning in his words that he speculated on the will of the king, and no one could find fault with pulling Ma Zhou out and cutting him down on this alone.

Seeing Ma Zhoucheng's frightened look, Li Chengqian sighed helplessly, raised his hand and pointed to the door of the study: "Ten thousand deaths are forgotten, I don't believe that you can die ten thousand times, if you have the heart, go and handle this matter, remember, on Chinese New Year's Eve, you want to be happy with the people!" ”

Ma Zhou licked his lips and replied stubbornly: "Yes!" ”

"Well, go ahead!" Li Chengqian waved his hand.

Looking at the back of Ma Zhou leaving, Li Chengqian felt that this emperor was very tired.

I didn't know the importance of fame before, and I always felt that the old man was a little too nitpicky, but now that I am the emperor, I finally know that sometimes fame is actually quite important, and you can't say don't want it.

……

Tianzhu Dao, the newly established one of the Tang Dynasty, and the biggest one, Li Chengqian has actually wanted to change the name to the province, but a group of old guys did not agree, and in the end it was gone.

After taking the train for half a month, Xuanzang arrived at the destination of this trip-Qunu City.

As soon as he got off the train, the old monk was stunned by everything in front of him, it was countless wooden boxes, each one meter square, with a seal on it, and the big word 'Buddhist scriptures' on the seal, and a guy in uniform was directing the Tianzhu people to move to the car: "Hurry up, you lazy guys, hurry up and load the car, the train is about to depart, and if you delay the matter, you will be deducted from your salary for half a year." ”

"This donor, bother to ask, are all Buddhist scriptures in it?" Looking at the boxes piled up like a hill, Xuanzang's scalp was faintly numb, and he quickly stepped forward and asked after singing a Buddha horn to the guy wearing the stationmaster's uniform.

The stationmaster who commanded the workers to move the boxes glanced at the old monk Xuanzang, and saw that he was a Tang Dynasty man, his face looked better, and he replied with a smile: "Isn't it the Buddhist scriptures, General Wei Chi has almost emptied all the Buddhist scriptures in Tianzhu, and this should be the last batch." ”

"So many Buddhist scriptures have been sent back to Datang?" With a one-in-10,000 hope, Xuanzang asked.

"But isn't it, I heard that there is a great monk in our Tang Dynasty, who did not hesitate to walk tens of thousands of miles to Tianzhu for these Buddhist scriptures, but unfortunately, if the monk waited a few more years, why walk so far, as long as you take the train for half a month, you will be there, and there is no risk."

The stationmaster is also a vernacular, and when he saw someone talking to him, he immediately chattered endlessly, without noticing that Xuanzang's face was not much better than that of pork liver.

Recalling the tens of thousands of miles of hardships and hardships, sleeping in the open air, and almost being killed by robbers several times, Xuanzang also felt that it was not worth it.

But who can blame this, the old monk insisted on going by himself, and no one forced him.

Fortunately, in the end, his life was saved, he did not fall on the way to the west, and even now he can travel freely between Chang'an and Qunu City, which is already very good for Xuanzang, at least he has got everything he needs, why bother about what the process is like.
