"Master, for the prosperity of our Tang Buddhism, it is time to enjoy this tranquility after great contributions and hard work" Wang Xuance had already known the master's intentions, so he blurted out along with his words.

"Yes, what Aiqing said is very true, since this is the case, then let's sit down, and ask Master Xuanzang to cook this pot of fragrant tea for us personally, and talk about it carefully." Li Zhi immediately said to the three of them with a happy face.

"So very good" Wu Meiniang still agreed to this Li Zhi.

So after these four people got acquainted with each other, Li Zhi immediately sat down with a majestic face to the south and sat on the top seat: "You guys, all of you should sit down, don't be stuck to too many etiquette." ”

And this Master Xuanzang invited Empress Wu to sit elegantly and sit on the left hand side of Li Zhi, facing the east. And he sat humbly on Li Zhi's right hand side in the order he should have, facing the west.

At the same time, he also invited Wang Xuance to sit respectfully opposite Li Zhi, facing the north.

As everyone sat down, under the operation of Master Xuanzang's skillful movements; After a while, a pot of fragrant Weinan black tea was boiled three times and boiled three times. After he carefully poured the reddish-brown tea soup into the plain tea cup in front of you, please take such a bite for the time being. With the belly of a fragrant tea, everyone also began to have a proper conversation......

I saw that this Li Zhi still regarded himself as a ninety-five respect, and said: "Since the founding of Gaozu in the Tang Dynasty, I have advocated Taoism; Since the return of the master to the Tang Dynasty, the first emperor is also half of the Buddha's way, when I lived in the Spring Palace, I also observed the prosperity of the master returning to the Tang Dynasty. Since then, Buddhism, under the leadership of the Master, has flourished in our Tang Dynasty, in line with the purpose of educating people's hearts and teaching people to be good, so that it has flourished for more than ten years. I also feel driven by the mage, in order to repay my mother's kindness; Outside the palace, this Great Mercy was built, and inside the palace, a stupa dedicated to the Buddha's tooth relics was built. ”

Immediately, as soon as the wind of his words changed, he looked at Wang Xuance and said: "In the final analysis, this Buddha tooth relic, I have to thank Wang Changshi and Master Jiexian, it is precisely because of Changshi's second mission to five India, that Master Jiexian has this Buddha tooth relics into my Tang Dynasty to bless all people." ”

"Your Majesty has won the award, Master Xuanzang and the five Indian monks, often tell that the Buddhist holy relics, wherever they are transmitted, will be smooth, the government will be harmonious, and the country and the people will be safe. Over the years, this Buddha tooth relic has been introduced to my Tang Dynasty, which is in response to this sign, and it all depends on His Majesty's sincerity to the country. Wang Xuance hurriedly returned.

Hearing this, Master Xuanzang was not sure for a while, what His Majesty wanted to express, so on the one hand, after pouring the tea cup in front of Gaozong again, he said to His Majesty: "What Wang Changshi said is very good, every time the Buddha's tooth relics flow to a country, this country will prosper, it seems that this is also God's gratitude for His Majesty's kindness, and the gift to our Tang Dynasty." ”

Hearing this, the flattery, not only Gaozong Li Zhi was full of joy, but even the Empress Wu was also happy. I only heard her say: "When Your Majesty was in the Spring Palace, he adhered to a heart of filial piety, dreamed of the queen mother every night, coupled with this series of actions, it seems that he was really blessed by the Buddha." ”

"Look at what you said, I'm embarrassed to say it, okay, don't talk so much, Mei Niang, then you will come to Master Xuanzang and Wang Changshi to talk about what we discussed on the road." Li Zhi picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said to her.

"Master, in fact, Mei Niang has come all the way, and she has to thank this Buddha for his kindness. Since the death of the first emperor, Mei Niang became a nun in this Ganye Temple, although it is said that every day with tears to wash the face, but before the Buddha, after chanting the Buddha, it also seems a lot easier, and then His Majesty read the kindness of the past, the concubine into the harem, when giving birth to the eldest son Li Hong, His Majesty prayed for this son, plus the sincerity of the teacher, the big wild goose pagoda was built. In addition, this time when she gave birth to this Zhe'er, she relied on the Dharma Master to chant and chant the Buddha, Mei Niang was able to come to this point today, thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, so after giving birth to Zhe'er peacefully, she had already made a grand wish to promote Buddhism and educate people's hearts. ”

Hearing this, Master Xuanzang hurriedly folded his hands together, and after spitting out Amitabha Buddha, he said: "Niang Niang is a noble person, not only the mother of the world, but also has always been kind-hearted, and she will be deeply blessed by the Buddha; Having such a grand wish today is not only a blessing for Buddhism, but also a blessing for my Tang Dynasty. ”

When Wang Xuance heard this, he was also full of joy. It turns out that His Majesty and Niangniang also came with a kind heart, it seems that Master Xuanzang was really born at an appropriate time, and Buddhism is destined to flourish in my Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you still have to tell Master Xuanzang" Wu Meiniang still told Li Zhi this idea with honor.

Hearing this, this Wang Xuance and Master Xuanzang were stunned for a moment, what does this mean?

But seeing this Li Zhi, after smiling at Wu Meiniang, he followed her words and said to the two of them: "At that time, Master You're still traveling around in the Five Indias, and Wang Changshi was just a child at that time. In the fifth year of the succession of the first emperor, both Zhenguan five years, when I heard that in the underground palace of Famen Temple, there is the true body relics of the Buddha, in order to show the generosity of the teaching of the different directions, in line with the people's increasing demand for Buddhist admiration, so he ordered the Buddha's bones to be opened, thus creating a Buddhist event since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. It also regained the prosperity of Buddhism before it. ”

Hearing this, the two of them are still in a fog, what is this Your Majesty going to do? Although I don't know what to do, I still listen to it attentively.

I saw this Li Zhi, picked up the plain tea cup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "Although I was young at the time, I didn't have much imprint on this matter, but I heard that inside and outside the capital, thousands of people gathered around this Buddha's treasure every day, and offered flowers and wealth to support the Buddha. Although this relic has never been seen by me and Niangniang, people who have heard it have also talked about it. Some say that it is like white jade, and the white light is reflected inside and outside; Some think it's emerald green; Some people think it looks like the image of the Buddha, of course, some think it looks like the image of the Bodhisattva and the holy monk; What's more, it is said that the Buddha appeared and saw a red one, like a five-colored miscellaneous light. Although I see it differently, I feel that it has a lot to do with the amount of good thoughts in everyone's heart. In addition, since the last release, it has been 25 years since I saw the glory of the prosperous world, so I and Mei Niang have been discussing this matter on the way here. I am ready to hold such a grand event again, so that all the believers in Chang'an City can once again observe this great treasure of Buddhism, and I implore the Venerable Master to preside over this grand event......"

Master Xuanzang, will you agree, please see the next time......
