Chapter 489: Returning to Beijing
Leave three points, of course Mi Xiaomiao can't talk to Wang Ping'an about the things in the inner palace, no matter how much he is favored by Li Zhi, he is also a foreign minister after all. There is a saying, everyone knows the secret, but it must not come out of my mouth!
Mi Xiaomiao understood this deeply, he said a word, that is, he abided by this principle, and did not offend Wang Ping'an, and expressed a hint that Li Zhi was not close to anyone, but just a close person. It's just a bit out of order. How to disobey the etiquette law, there is only one situation, the person he is close to is the emperor's harem figure.
Wang Ping'an also blinked his eyes and said, "I have a niece named Wu Meiniang who is on an errand in the Lixia Palace, and her mother was sent by me to Xuzhou. When I return to Beijing this time, I plan to take my father and mother from Xuzhou to Chang'an. Her mother naturally has to follow, I want to ask, the palace is not allowed to allow concubines to see relatives, is there any taboo? ”
Mi Xiaomiao hummed and thought, "So you know about that matter, I don't know who told you, but I can't tell you more." ”
He said: "There are a lot of taboos, but there is no need to go into the palace to meet, isn't your niece in charge of the peonies in the Lixia Palace, you can let her personally select the flower fertilizer, and then let her mother pretend to be a flower farmer and wait in the Yeting Palace, then don't you just meet, and you don't need to worry about what taboos." ”
Wang Ping'an sighed and nodded, there is no doubt that Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang really hooked up, otherwise Mi Xiaomiao would not be able to say so. Since he knows that Wu Meiniang is in charge of planting peony flowers, it means that he must have paid attention to it, why should he pay attention, naturally Li Zhi often goes, otherwise a little palace maid who grows flowers can get into the eyes of Grandpa Mi? Grandpa Mi was very busy. He won't notice the useless people!
Wang Ping'an sighed in his heart, he really should have come sooner or later, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only go with the flow. However, then again, why bother, without Wu Meiniang, how could there be a prosperous Tang Dynasty? Even if you want to take care of it, it's not about her, it's about An Lushan's father, or grandpa or something, as long as it's present, it's a knife, and there will be no trouble."
Mi Xiaomiao looked at Wang Ping'an and said, "Prince, I think about it, I don't feel uncomfortable, but I actually feel very uncomfortable, right?" ”
He sat down next to Wang Ping'an, and said: "This time, Manager Shi ordered our family to come, and he wanted our family to comfort you, don't take the frustration in front of you in your heart, and don't complain." Once you complain. I'm afraid that it will eventually reach the ears of the emperor, and you will really be disappointed at that time, even in the future...... That's hard to get complacent! ”
Wang Ping'an knew that he had misunderstood, and he was thinking about Wu Meiniang's affairs, but he was not disappointed. At the banquet just now, he had already learned that he was idle, and it is estimated that Shi Zhongchen was afraid that he would not be able to see through the situation in the court, so he complained indiscriminately, causing the emperor's displeasure, and kept himself idle, so he asked Mi Xiaomiao to say this.
He smiled: "Master Mi is smiling, I am a lazy person, not an official." After returning to Beijing, I can study behind closed doors, study my medical skills, get a few more prescriptions, and sell them for money to invite everyone to drink. ”
Mi Xiaomiao said: "It's right that you can think so." Also, it's about next year's scientific examination, you are not the deputy chief examiner, this is also one of the functions, but this time when the ministry revoked your position, it was the only one who did not mention it. Manager Shi estimated that it is impossible for the emperor to forget this, and for the rest of the matter, you can go back to Beijing and ask the adults yourself! ”
Wang Ping'an sighed, praying Suiliang is the main examiner, and he is one of the deputy examiners, since the emperor didn't mention this, it means that he still has hope! He asked, "I naturally want to ask when I return to Beijing, but this deputy examiner," what do you mean?" ”
Mi Xiaomiao laughed twice, stretched her waist, and said, "Where do we know where to go to this house." Our family just knows that when General Manager Shi had just gained power, he personally promoted a group of people in the Yeting Palace and gave them to the emperor for use, and these people are not legitimately used now. ”
Wang Ping'an nodded, it's still for the prince, is it to let himself choose a team for the prince! He said: "It's night, Master Mi is in a hurry, let's rest, and I'll go back to sleep." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the door, and suddenly he turned around and asked, "What did the emperor get stimulated again?" ”
Mi Xiaomiao was slightly stunned, he couldn't hide it, he couldn't tell the truth, he said: "I fainted twice, and my body is not as good as before!" ”
Wang Ping'an didn't speak anymore, went out of the room, and brought the door to Mi Xiaomiao. He Bu Miao sat on the bed, sighed softly, took off his clothes and covered the quilt, and went to sleep.
Wang Ping'an returned to his room, the two little girls waited for him to wash his face and feet, after Wang Ping'an went to bed, he thought: "Li Shimin is afraid that he can't do it, his illness is most afraid of being stimulated" Some things, the gods are coming, and they can't change it! ”
Go to bed with lights out, don't worry about the ancients!
In the next two days, there were more things, Fang Xuanling arranged the affairs of Zheliu County one by one, and ordered to cut off the official position of You Xiujie, the assassin of Guazhou, and escort him back to Beijing. After seeing Fang Xuanling and Wang Ping'an, he thought that he was Wang Ping'an's own person from now on, and specially recommended one person. Temporarily took the post of Guazhou's assassin history, Fang Xuanling agreed, and as a result, Guazhou had something to do with Wang Ping'an.
The grassland that originally belonged to the Dayan Department went to Shazhou, and then to the folding willow. and then to the line of Yumen Pass and Guazhou, almost all of them are implicated with Wang Ping'an, so to speak, this is already Wang Ping'an's fundamental place. Of course, the premise is that Li Shimin will no longer change his fiefdom to Wang Ping'an.
The resettlement work of the Turkic people in Guishun was temporarily handed over to Shazhou Thorn Shi and Gu Lantian, as long as it was done according to the precautions arranged by Fang Xuanling, it is estimated that there will be no major problems.
After everything came to a head, Wang Ping'an, Fang Xuanling and others returned to Chang'an with a team of relatives.
To be able to return to Chang'an, everyone is happy, and it is bitter cold outside the border, there is really nothing to do, or Chang'an, what do you want. In the entire team, there was only one person who was unhappy, and that was Wang Wendu.
Wang Wendu was kicked out of the pass by the ministers like a ball, and he saw a great achievement in front of him, but he didn't get any light, he didn't get any credit, and he offended a circle of people in vain. If he wasn't depressed, he would be too open-minded. It has reached the point of having no heart and no lungs.
Everyone else knows that he is finished, so no one pays attention to him, but there are exceptions, such as Xu Jingzong. Xu Jingzong is also an unlucky guy, but he is different from Wang Wendu, Wang Wendu entered Baoshan but returned empty-handed, he didn't even see what Baoshan looked like, and he was arrested as a slave for many days, either milking goats or picking up dry dung, and he really suffered a lot of living crimes, and after returning to Beijing, I don't know what will happen!
Both of them are frustrated people, so they can talk, eat and sleep together, and become senior brothers, and were accepted by Tang Xuanwan and became lay disciples of Buddhism. They were unlucky and didn't laugh with others, Tang Xuanzhi saw it in his eyes, and immediately took advantage of the weakness to talk about karma with them. So, in order to find spiritual sustenance, the two of them worshiped together at Tang Xuanwan's seat
And on the way, a small ceremony was held to worship the teacher by Gui Ping'an Xin. He is the high Xuanqu of the White Horse Temple, and each of them has taken the name of the law.
Wang Wendu is always uncertain and can't bear the heat and coldness of the world, so Tang Xuanwan wants to name him Patience, but Patience only means forbearance, but has no intention of being angry, the meaning of the comeback is in it, the word "Resistance" is the word "can", which has the meaning of endurance, and can have more talented explanations, so it was finally named Can. Tang Xuanji's apprentice is a Wuzi generation, so Wang Wendu's official legal name is Wuneng.
Xu Jingzong has a flamboyant tongue and likes to pat on the back, which is impure and not conducive to cultivation, so Tang Xuansheng named him Jing, hoping that he can be a clean man and a good person. Yes, Xu Jingzong's Dharma name is Wujing.
Originally, Tang Xuanzhi still wanted to accept Wang Ping'an as an apprentice, and persuaded him to stop worrying about the mundane things of the world, to be a Buddhist disciple of the four major emptiness, and wanted to name him Wukong, but Wang Ping'an sternly refused.
Wang Ping'an's reason is very legitimate, and sufficient, he is the junior disciple of the White Horse Temple, and he has made friends with Tang Xuan's peers, how can he be his apprentice, isn't it a generation shorter, this big monk wants to take advantage of him, of course he refuses to agree.
Tang Xuanling had no choice but to do it, as for Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling didn't answer him at all, what junior brother is still an apprentice, go play with you!
There was only such a small episode along the way, and there was nothing else to do, so I hurried and hurried, and finally rushed back to Chang'an before the end of the year.
Before entering Chang'an, it was still a hundred miles away from the city, and it was almost out of Gyeonggi, and no officials came to greet it. But a large group of monks came. There are more than 3,000 people, all of whom are monks in Chang'an and the surrounding monasteries, and all the presiding officers of the monasteries have arrived. Not only did they come, but they also brought with them more than 50,000 people, all of whom were good men and women who believed in Buddhism.
So many people are not here to greet Wang Ping'an and Fang Xuanling, but to welcome Tang Xuanling. Don't look at Tang Xuanwan's unlikable when he folds the willows, he is full of allusions all day long, and everyone who sees him hides and walks, but in fact, he went west to the moat and retrieved the Buddhist scriptures, which was a very remarkable thing at that time, and he had to have great perseverance. He is definitely an icon of this era!
When the monks of various monasteries in Gyeonggi learned that Tang Xuanwan had returned to Beijing, all the hosts swept out and traveled a hundred miles to greet Tang Xuanwan and welcome him back to the capital of the Celestial Empire!
The welcome ceremony was quite grand, and the degree of luxury was staggering, and the good men and women were really willing to spend money! Floats were drawn one after another, with white oxen pulling carts, and cages were used to bring in a variety of birds for release. There are even more rich people, who actually brought grain and cauldrons, and gave porridge along the way, no matter who it was, as long as they recited Amitabha Buddha in the direction of the float where Tang Xuan was sitting, he would be full immediately!
The Buddhist scriptures brought back by Tang Xuan from the moat, Wang Ping'an found them for him, and there was no loss, and these Buddhist scriptures were put on the float for the people to watch. All the way up. Hundreds of people knelt down at the float and chanted the Buddha's name.
Looking at the grand occasion in front of him, Fang Xuanling said: "It's too extravagant, my Tang Dynasty has just appeared, and the people are not rich, and they can be used in the ceremony of worshiping the Buddha, but they are so extravagant and wasteful, it is really distressing!" No disease, you say? ”
Wang Ping'an said no, neither nodded nor shook his head, and did not express any opinion.
Qiu Renjie has always been by his side, and seeing that Wang Ping'an turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, he said strangely: "The eldest brother and the younger brother have read the history books, and once said that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the monarchs of various countries vigorously built temples and supported monks, so that it cost too much, and when the country was at war, they didn't even pay for the army. Now that this kind of thing has happened in my Datang, don't you have any ideas? ”
Wang Ping'an said to him: "What others believe, that's someone else's business, even if you don't believe it, don't comment on it, maybe you will believe it in the future!" "He has never talked about religion, even if he is a lay disciple of the White Horse Temple, he never recites the Buddha, but he also does not interfere with other people's recitation of the Buddha.
Qiu Renjie said with a smile: "This kind of style of the eldest brother is really rare. ”
After walking for a while, he suddenly said: "Originally, Xu Jingzong and Wang Wendu were the most unpopular people we have here, but now they are good, and they actually sit on the float as disciples, which is really unreasonable!" ”
Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "One of them is called Wu Neng, the other is called Wu Jing, and there is just a lack of Wukong, so it is better for you to join in the fun and worship Xuan as a teacher." If you make that Wukong, you can also sit on the float and enjoy the scenery, so you don't have to be jealous of them here! ”
Qiu Renjie shook his head and said, "Then forget it, I don't want to listen to him tell allusions all day long." ”
Wang Ping'an said: "This is called Sai Weng losing his horse, and he doesn't know if it's a blessing." The two of them were frustrated in officialdom, but they got their capital back here and were worshiped by the people. ”
He rushed to the front with a horse, and said to Tang Xuanwan: "Senior brother, I will lend you this white dragon horse, you ride a horse into Beijing, it can show your hard work of learning thousands of miles more than taking a float." ”
Tang Xuanwan smiled: "That's okay, the poor monk is used to riding a horse, and Leng Ding is in the car." I'm really not used to it. He really got off the float and rode on the white dragon horse, Xu Jingzong and Wang Wendu also got off the float, one left and one right by Tang Xuanwan's side.
As soon as they got off the float, Wang Ping'an sat down honestly and unceremoniously, he waved at Qiu Renjie and said with a smile: "Brother, don't you want to take the float?" Come on, let's sit and enter Beijing, it's not selling! ”
Qiu Renjie smiled: "Big brother really has a trick!" He also got on the float and triumphantly held the scriptures in his hand.
Walking far away, more and more people greeted Tang Xuanmeng, Qiu Renjie sat a little tired, took a scripture book and looked at it, now it was full of Sanskrit, his heart moved, he hid this scripture in his arms, intending to keep a souvenir.
Wang Ping'an looked at it in his eyes and whispered: "You took Master Xuanji's baby pimple, be careful that he fights with you." ”
Qiu Renjie said: "If there is one less book and another book, what is there to work hard, it's a big deal to push it to the head of the difficulty, who called him the law name is in trouble!" ”
Wang Ping'an hummed, he also took out two scriptures, picked the thick ones, hid them in his arms, and said with a smile: "Then I will also leave a souvenir, don't tell others!" The two of them chuckled under their breath.
It took two days to walk for a hundred miles, and then I came to the outside of Chang'an City.
Looking from afar, I saw countless people standing outside the city, almost the same as when the Olympic Games were first held. I can't count them all!
Qiu Renjie shouted, "Brother Fu, this Xuan Forbidden Master. Is it so famous? Are these people coming to meet him, or are they coming to meet you? ”
Wang Ping'an was silent, thinking: "The vulgar rush to welcome and dump the market seems to be a historical fact!" He left a beautiful legend for future generations, so do I have to leave some silence?"
He stood up from the float and shouted, "Senior Brother Xuandian, I am willing to give 100,000 yuan" is wrong, I am willing to contribute to you to design a wild goose pagoda! ”
