Chapter 500: The candidates all came to the Temple of Inspiration to spend the night

So many people came to the Inspiration Temple, but it was not because of themselves that Wang Ping'an felt a little lost in his heart. To tell the truth, he has done so many things, such as saying that the people of the world have benefited from him, it is too exaggerated, but at least most of the people near Chang'an have received his favor, the new disaster relief law, and smallpox, not to mention, the Olympic Games alone will solve the livelihood problem of how many people, so that they can spend this winter with plenty of money.

As a result, he has done so many things, it is better for Tang Xuanzang to recite a few words of Amitabha...... Where to reason!

Riding a big red horse and approaching the temple gate, Wang Ping'an suddenly thought again: "This is said again, even I am staying in the Inspiration Temple, isn't I also under the protection of Amitabha Buddha, then why am I psychologically unbalanced, and what is more popular than Tang Xuanzang?" There's no need for that! ”

Thinking about it again, I feel a lot more comfortable. With a smile on his face, he came to the gate of the temple, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Everyone, fellow fathers and fellow villagers, please borrow one, I live in this temple!" ”

As he spoke, Wang Ping'an was about to pass through the crowd and enter the Temple of Inspiration. When Ouyang Li saw him coming back, he called out to his master, pushed aside the crowd, and came over to lead Wang Ping'an's horse.

The people gathered at the gate of the temple, both old and young, and everyone carried large bags and small bags, and none of them came empty-handed. When they heard Wang Ping'an speak, they turned back together, and their faces all showed joy.

A man who looked like a scholar shouted, "Ah, isn't this the prince, you live in the Temple of Inspiration?" Fortunately, fortunately, student Cao Yuan, meet the prince! He stood on the periphery, carrying a big bag on his shoulder, he didn't squeeze to the gate of the temple just now, so he had to stand on the periphery and shout, but as soon as Wang Ping'an came back, he immediately became the closest person to Wang Ping'an, and ran over to say hello with a smile.

Seeing that he had seized the opportunity, someone immediately shouted: "You already knew that the prince lived in the Inspiration Temple, and you were clamoring to see the prince just now, what kind of chance encounter is you pretending to have now!" "The person who shouted was also dressed as a scholar, but he was a little older.

Someone else shouted: "Prince, the student has given you a New Year's greeting!" "I also dress up as a scholar.

Wang Ping'an sighed, he handed the reins of the big red horse in his hand to Ouyang Li, and looked carefully at this large group of people, and saw that they were all dressed as scholars, and the big bags and small bags they were holding were not like gifts, but they were like luggage.

Wang Ping'an arched his hand and said: "Everyone, didn't you pay a New Year's greeting to Master Xuanzang?" However, it is estimated that Master Xuanzang has a tired journey and needs to rest, so he may not meet you! ”

These scholars had already gathered around, and some of them were looked at by Wang Ping'an, and they felt a little familiar, as if they had seen them before.

A scholar shouted, "Teacher, the student once went with you to identify smallpox and contributed to you, don't you remember?" ”

Wang Ping'an was stunned for a moment and said, "Really...... Oh, oh, remember, it's just that there are too many people, and I drank a few more drinks tonight, and I can't remember it for a while, so it's no wonder that I'm offended. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, several voices rang out, all of them shouting: "What the teacher said is bad, you have so many things to do, how can you remember so many names, how dare the students blame you!" ”

Someone else shouted: "It's not that you don't dare to blame, but you can't blame." Who was talking just now, you don't dare, it means that you have resentment in your heart, blaming the teacher, and you shouldn't ......"

Some people even shouted: "Their names, if you forget them, they are all irrelevant people." The teacher just remembered my name as a student, and I am also Xuzhou...... Living near Xuzhou, the students are from Chenzhou! ”

"you, Chenzhou is hundreds of miles away from Xuzhou, can it be called nearby!" Some people pierced him loudly.

Wang Ping'an is very puzzled, how did these people tear each other down, every time I saw them before, didn't they take care of each other very much, this kind of relationship in the same year is one of the important relationships of gangs in the officialdom!

Wang Ping'an laughed all day, the muscles on his face were a little numb, he didn't need to show a special smile, as long as he kept being so stiff, he could make people feel that he was laughing. Nodding at these people, he walked towards the temple.

And these people were desperate, crowded around Wang Ping'an, trying their best to find a good position by his side. I really don't understand, whether they came to pay New Year's greetings to Tang Xuanzang or Wang Ping'an.

As soon as Wang Ping'an stepped into the temple gate, the sight in front of him almost didn't make him scream!

I saw that in the Temple of Inspiration, as long as there was an open space that could be inserted, tents were all erected, densely packed, blocking the road from the temple gate to the main hall! That's not all, there are even people who take the futon and spread it on the ground, probably because they can't afford to buy a tent, so they have to lie directly in the snow!

People in this year, in order to be closer to Tang Xuanzang, they can really endure any hardship!

Wang Ping'an grinned, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, his muscles were no longer stiff, and he thought, "Some...... It's too much! sighed, after all, he grew up watching "Journey to the West" in his previous life, Tang Xuanzang is indeed a person with great ambitions, and it is normal to be worshipped.

Shaking his head, he squeezed out a smile again and walked into the main hall.

But when the people in the courtyard saw Wang Ping'an coming, they all stood up with a bang, and they all rushed forward, shouting: "Prince, you are back, you have broken the Turks and made contributions to the country, and the students are deeply admired!" ”

Wang Ping'an was stunned again, looked around, and found that these people in the courtyard were all dressed as scholars! This is really strange, there are so many good men and women who worship Tang Xuanzang, but the people who come to the Inspiration Temple are all scholars, and there is no ...... Ah, got it!

It's not something difficult to understand, Wang Ping'an saw the situation in the courtyard, and after only a little thought, he understood. These people came to Tang Xuanzang to pay New Year's greetings, they simply came to see Tang Xuanzang under the banner of coming to see Tang Xuanzang, and came to get close to themselves!

Although Wang Ping'an's various functions were suspended, the position of deputy chief examiner was ignored by the imperial court intentionally or unintentionally, and this matter was not mentioned, and the deputy chief examiner was temporarily sent, so strictly speaking, he still retained this position, but it depends on whether the emperor's memory is good or not.

If the emperor has a good memory and remembers that he cut all of Wang Ping'an's duties, then he will appoint someone else to be the deputy chief examiner, if the memory is not good and he doesn't remember the matter of cutting the office, then Wang Ping'an is very likely to continue to be the deputy chief examiner.

According to the rules of the imperial court, the examiner has to avoid the candidates, so the candidates are not allowed to come to him to submit the papers, but Wang Ping'an came back this time, but he brought Tang Xuanzang as a reason, which gave the candidates an excuse!

They took large bags and small bags and ran into the Inspiration Temple to set up tents, the purpose was to appease the king's peace, but the reason was because they worshiped Tang Xuanzang, and they came to listen to him talk about allusions and deepen their own cultivation.

It's been a long time, or because I have power! No wonder people in the world are obsessed with power, as long as there is power, there will be countless people who will find ways to come to the end of the road...... It's just this kind of stuttering, it's a headache for me!

When Wang Ping'an was outside the temple just now, he was still a little psychologically unbalanced, but as soon as he entered the temple, he suddenly overbalanced, which made him a little overwhelmed!

He bowed his hand to these scholars and said, "Everyone, have a good New Year! ”

"Okay, the students are all happy for the New Year, and the prince and your old man are also happy for the New Year!" The scholars shouted together.

At this time, an old man was squeezed in the crowd, also dressed as a scholar, he held his fists and said loudly: "Prince, the student Sun Nian will give you a greeting and a New Year's greeting!" As he spoke, he trembled and knelt down!

Wang Ping'an hurriedly took a step back and shouted: "Uncle, I can't stand your courtesy, how can there be any reason for the old man to kneel down to a young man to pay New Year's greetings!" ”

He saw that this old man was almost seventy years old, his hair was white, his mouth and teeth were incomplete, and his speech was leaky, and he even had to give himself such a big gift, how could he bear it!

Three more people squeezed over, knelt behind Sun Nian, and bowed to Wang Ping'an together, each reporting their names, the middle-aged man was called Sun Jie, and two young people about twenty years old, one was called Sun Wu, and the other was called Sun Tu. plus Sun Nian, the four of them are actually three generations of grandchildren, and it seems that they entered Beijing together to take the exam.

When the other scholars saw it, they also knelt down one after another, giving Wang Ping'an a New Year's greeting, hulala, a large number of people knelt down in the courtyard, and there were people in the hall running out, shouting and asking Wang Ping'an for a good New Year!

Wang Ping'an was dumbfounded, this year to give people New Year's greetings, it really doesn't matter how old or young you are, just about your status! He turned his head and said to Ouyang Li: "Let's give a red envelope to one person, and the bad people will also give me New Year's greetings!" ”

Ouyang Li sighed and whispered, "Give it all?" There are still in the backyard, all of them are counted, not a thousand, but eight hundred! ”

Wang Ping'an said: "This is the New Year, let's have an auspicious picture!" Nodding and smiling, he didn't dare to stay in the courtyard for long, and he didn't even dare to enter the main hall, so he took a detour directly to the backyard.

The same is true in the backyard, which is also crowded, and countless scholars and scholars are waiting to pay New Year's greetings to Wang Ping'an.

Wang Ping'an saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to say loudly: "Everyone, please don't set up a tent in the backyard, although you have good intentions, it is inevitable to disturb Master Xuanzang to translate Buddhist scriptures, and please go to the front yard, otherwise you will disturb Master Xuanzang, I ...... I'm going to be annoyed as a teacher! ”

The scholars hurriedly said: "Obey the teacher's orders, let's go to the front yard to find a place!" Afraid of annoying Wang Ping'an, they hurriedly packed up their things and went to the front yard to find a place.

It is estimated that he is trying to find a place, not only is the place occupied, but there are also many people outside who want to squeeze in. But fortunately, it was winter, and everyone was crowded, and it was still hot.

Wang Ping'an drove away the scholars, led by Ouyang Li, to the door where Tang Xuanzang lived, he entered the house, saw Tang Xuanzang was seated, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, can you get used to living here?" ”

Tang Xuanzang opened his eyes and said, "Senior brother, you're back." Well, it's customary to live, and it's the same wherever the poor monk lives. ”

Wang Ping'an pointed outside, and said, "Those people are noisy with senior brother, I have already sent them away for you." ”

Tang Xuanzang sighed, straightened up, and said, "Senior brother, why do you want them to leave, quickly call them back, the poor monk finally persuaded them to let them come here to spend the night, how can you drive them away." Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the poor monks will open the altar and explain the Dharma to them! ”

Wang Ping'an frowned, and said angrily: "No wonder they came to set up a tent, it turned out that you let it!" ”
