Under the Bodhi tree of Xiangji Temple, Li Yin talked with Xuanzang Xiaosha for a long time, until Guanyin, Cailian and others were leaving, and then they said goodbye to them.

The reason why Master Xuanzang is so famous in later generations is because of the existence of the famous book "Journey to the West", but Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West", is not made up.

Master Xuanzang did have a person in history, and his deeds of learning scriptures in the west were also real, but there was no white dragon horse to ride, and there were no three apprentices with great magical powers to protect him, so he went to Tianzhu alone, and finally obtained the "true scriptures" and returned, which is really a milestone figure in Chinese Buddhism.

Of course, at this time, Xuanzang was only sixteen years old, and had not yet germinated the idea of going to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, and Li Yin did not do anything to guide this, following the principle of going with the flow, what he could do was perhaps to help him when he decided to go west, after all, in the original history, when Xuanzang planned to go west to seek the law, he had repeatedly asked the court for permission to go west, but he did not get Li Shimin's permission, so that "he crossed the charter and went to Tianzhu privately".

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Yuan still feasted hundreds of officials in the Taiji Palace and celebrated the festival with the hundred officials, which was the first Chinese New Year's Eve after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, so it was very lively and lively, and even some minor officials who were not qualified to attend before were also qualified to come to this Taiji Palace, and many people regarded it as their lifelong honor.

After watching the wonderful singing and dancing of the palace maids and eating a sumptuous dinner, the hundred officials can walk around within the prescribed range, and the atmosphere in the Taiji Palace suddenly becomes more lively.

At this time, Li Yin was chatting with Chen Shuda, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.

Chen Shuda, the seventeenth son of Emperor Chen Xuan, the queen of Southern Chen, Chen Shubao, is his eldest brother. Uncle Chen is outstanding and talented, and he can improvise poems at the age of more than ten years and write them with a pen.

When the Li family raised troops in Taiyuan and raised troops into Chang'an, Chen Shuda defended Jiangjun and guarded Zhengping City with 8,000 soldiers, but after all, he was outnumbered and surrendered to Li Yuan.

Because of Chen Shuda's great contribution to the city, Li Yuan used it very much, and successively held important positions around him, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was appointed as the Yellow Gate Squire, the head of the province.

"King Jin, I've often heard others slander you recently, the so-called three people become tigers, and everyone is gold, you have to pay attention to this, otherwise it may cause big trouble." After chatting for a long time, Chen Shuda suddenly said to Li Yin.

Li Yin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Thank you Chen Shilang for reminding me, I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future, I don't know what rumors are slandering me now?" ”

Chen Shuda said: "There is all kinds of mess, arrogance, non-compliance with the law, extravagant life, etc., wise people should not believe it after hearing it, but these rumors have been circulating for a long time, I am afraid that it will have an adverse impact on His Royal Highness King Jin." ”

Li Yin nodded, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, so many rumors slandering him suddenly spread, it was very likely that someone was behind him, and he had to plan carefully.

Li Yin looked at Li Shimin, who had regained his vigor in the distance, then looked at Li Jiancheng who was in the middle of the staggered list, and then looked at Pei Lian, who was enjoying others patting his ass, and sneered in his heart.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, the time officially came to the second year of Wude (619 AD).

In that year, the world can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, Yang Guangjiang was killed, Li Dynasty was replaced by Sui, the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yin's destruction of the Western Qin, Li Mi's defeat of the North Mountain, and the victory of the Central Plains has been divided......

Each of these events is a far-reaching event, and when they all happen in the same year, it is a year that will never be forgotten.

At this time, the world is undecided, and it is still unknown who the deer belongs to, and the next two years of martial arts are only afraid that it will also be a year of ups and downs.

……

In this era, the spread of rumors depends on the crowd, and in terms of the speed of transmission, it cannot be compared with the information age, but it is still relatively easy to control.

First of all, Li Yin started from the source of the rumors that slandered him, and sent the palace guards and the intelligence department headed by Fu Ying to restaurants and other places to secretly observe, looking for the people who spread the rumors, and once discovered, he was immediately arrested and directly sent to the county government of Chang'an and Wannian counties for detention in the name of slandering the prince's reputation.

Then, Li Yin also let people go deep among the people, publicize his glorious image, and theorize with people who were prejudiced against him, so as to correct the ignorance of the people. In the end, he insisted on leading by example, so that the people could see with their own eyes what kind of person he was.

After some countermeasures, the rumors that slandered Li Yin were finally restrained and did not further expand their influence.

After the fifteenth day of the first month of the second year of Wude, Li Shimin swore an army from Chang'an and marched from Wuguan to Zhu Wei, who occupied Nanyang.

Zhu Cang had more than 200,000 soldiers at this time, and the momentum was very large, but he was brutal, and the local heroes Yang Shilin and Tian Zan in Huai'an had already raised troops to attack Zhu Cang at this time, and after Li Shimin sent troops, many states and counties also responded, so it should not be too difficult for Li Shimin to win this battle.

Li Yin thought that he should be able to live a quiet life for a few months, and Li Yuan originally arranged this as such, but a letter from the Hexi region broke this plan.

Li Rail in the Hexi region, because of Li Shimin's defeat in Gaoqi City last year, Li Yuan called Li Rail his cousin in order to win him over, and Li Rail also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty at that time, and was named King Liang by Li Yuan.

However, in October last year, Li Liang took advantage of the fact that Li Yin and Xue Rengao's army was in the middle of the battle, and when Chang'an was empty, he actually became the emperor, changed the year name Anle, and after being called the emperor, sent heavy troops to the border of the two forces.

Seeing that the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Western Qin and occupied the right side of Longyou, and his strength increased greatly, Li Liang regretted that he should not be called the emperor, and he gathered his ministers and discussed in the court: "Tang Tianzi is my cousin, and now he has become the emperor in Jingyi." People with a surname should not compete with each other for the world, I want to remove the emperor name and accept the title of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if Zhong Aiqing thinks this is appropriate? ”

Li Liang's left servant of Shangshu shot Cao Zhen and immediately objected: "The Sui Dynasty lost the world, and the people of the world fought for the throne, and there was only one person who called the king and the emperor!" The Tang Dynasty was called the emperor in Guanzhong, and the Liang Dynasty was called the emperor in the right side of the river, which was originally not in the way. Besides, Your Majesty has already become the Son of Heaven, so why should you degrade yourself again! If Your Majesty wants to make a big deal out of a small matter, please follow the practice that Xiao Yan of the Liang Dynasty obeyed the Wei Dynasty in the past. ”
