Chapter 2 There is a master named Xuanzang

Soon after Li Xian was born, Gaozong Li Zhi issued an edict announcing the change of the Yuan, taking the seventh year of Yonghui as the first year of Xianqing, the so-called Xianqing, which is the meaning of "celebrating for the sake of Xian", which shows how pleased Gaozong was at Li Xian's birth.

But Li Xian didn't have too much joy, because he knew that it was not easy to control his own destiny? Because he is facing the first strong woman in history, his face is sour, and he may take his own life if he shakes his fingers, if he wants to deal with such a person, how can he deal with it if he doesn't have enough strength and wisdom under his hands? Therefore, in the following days, Li Xian has been trying to think about how to change his fate, but because he can only lie on the bed to accept breastfeeding, although due to congenital weakness, the Empress Wu has also visited many times, but every time he is in a hurry, this gives him no chance to understand the current situation, besides, even if he understands, with his own baby body, how can he grasp it?

Therefore, despite the anxiety in his heart, Li Xian still had no choice.

In the blink of an eye, it is the twenty-sixth day of the first month of Xianqing, and this day is the period of Li Xian's full moon, and the palace is full of lights, full of joy.

Originally, today was not the time for the court meeting, but Gaozong, who was happy in his heart, ordered to hold a banquet in the Taiji Hall to celebrate the full moon of his beloved son.

As the New Year is approaching, the crown prince Li Hong, the kings of the clan and the officials of the central capital, the officials of various states and places, the envoys of the four Yi and so on, will be the entire wide Taiji Hall is crowded, Gaozong is on the throne, his face is full of red light, he frequently toasts to the hundred officials, and from time to time he laughs and talks with the Empress Wu who is sitting aside.

But all this has nothing to do with Li Xian, although the protagonist of today's celebration should be him, but the emperor and the hundred officials seem to have forgotten him, so he is alone in a side hall of the Lizheng Hall "nap".

Of course, there are inseparable nurses and palace maids by his side.

Of course, Li Xian didn't fall asleep, he was just habitually closing his eyes and meditating, although he didn't find the slightest clue, but he had already taken these as a habit.

But there will always be people who will not have long eyes and break this silence.

I only heard the door of the palace creak and was opened, and then I heard a shrill voice shouting: "There is a decree in the Holy Father, and the nurse Gan clan will take the seven princes to the Taiji Hall to see them." ”

Although as the nurse of the prince, it is definitely not an easy thing to be able to see the holy driver, let alone show her face in front of the hundred officials and ministers of the Taiji Palace, if it were not for the saint's treatment of Li Xian, she Ganshi is afraid that even if it is another hundred years, it will be difficult to encounter such a big opportunity, besides, Li Xian has more than one nurse by his side, and it should be her turn to be on duty today, isn't this a big pie falling from the sky? Therefore, Rao is Gan has been in the palace for more than ten years, and he couldn't help but be excited when he heard this holy message, and quickly knelt on the ground, thanking Shengshang Longen with gratitude.

It didn't take long for Li Xian to be carried by the nurse Gan to the Tai Chi Palace, this Gan was able to enter the palace for more than ten years and won the emperor's favorite prince's nurse, naturally he is also an eight-sided exquisite person, facing the emperor and the hundred officials and ministers, although he was nervous, but on the surface he seemed very calm, and slowly came to the Dan Qi, and saluted respectfully: "The slave Gan clan is ordered, please Qilang to meet the saint and the queen." ”

Although Gaozong is the emperor, he is also a mortal, and when he saw his own son, he was naturally excited, and hurriedly ordered the eunuch Gao Cheng to take Li Xian, and then ignored the Empress Wu on the side, directly hugged Li Xian in his arms, and looked at it carefully, and saw that Li Xian, who had his eyes closed, suddenly woke up, and giggled at himself, and immediately smiled at him, and said with a smile: "My good son, hehe, Mei Niang, you see, he was still asleep, but as soon as he arrived in my arms, he woke up immediately, not only that, but he also smiled at me, such a good child, isn't it a godsend? ”

Gao Zonggui is the lord of a country, there are many people in the hall who greet him, only to see a middle-aged official not far from the head of Gao Zong, stand up at the banquet calmly, raise his glass, bow down with a smile and say: "Your Majesty is wise and sage, benevolence and righteousness (originally it should be the word "governance", because of avoiding Gaozong's secret, so it is called "reason") the world, now the four seas are peaceful, all countries come to the dynasty, our dynasty is prosperous, although Emperor Taizongwen is not as good as the emperor, so the sky is auspicious, and the seven lang is given to His Majesty. When the minister heard that Qilang was first born, the cry shook the sky, and it was expected that this son must be extraordinary. ”

Li Xian heard that there was no lack of slapping the horse, and this person praised himself vigorously, on the surface, it seemed to be obedient to Gaozong's intentions, but it made him feel a little provocative, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and secretly guessed the identity of this person, but with his current knowledge, how did he know that this person was the upstart Zhongshu Shilang of the dynasty, the third product of the Tongzhongshu Sect, the male of Guangping County, and the prince's concubine Li Yifu? This person speaks easy-going, but his heart is narrow-minded, cruel and cruel, people at the time say that there is a knife hidden in the smile, although he is the prince's concubine today, it is actually arranged by the martial queen to "assist" the prince, today I see Li Xian brilliant, and Li Hong Suri is lukewarm to himself, so he makes provocative remarks, laying hidden dangers for the contradictions between the two sides.

Gaozong didn't seem to hear the meaning of the words, just smiled, looked back at the martial arts, nodded and said: "Li Qing's words are very true, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, this is the mandate of heaven, how can there be no queen's merit?" Mei Niang, today I will order my three Lin'er to toast you with a glass. Hong'er, your two younger brothers can't drink, so you will do it for you. ”

After finishing speaking, Gaozong turned his gaze to the crown prince Li Hong, who was sitting in a precarious position, and then said with a smile.

Although the crown prince Li Hong was only five years old, he was also quite bold and capable, and when he heard the words, he immediately followed the order, raised the wine cup, bowed to the martial queen, and drank calmly.

Empress Wu was toasted by Li Hong, but said humbly: "Your Majesty's words are really too modest, my three children, they are very smart like Your Majesty, how dare the concubines speak out?" It's just this Qilang, the concubine dared to dare to ask for credit, because the concubine happened to have a difficult birth when she gave birth, and her life hung by a thread, and it was strange to say, just when the concubine thought that it would be difficult to guarantee this, Xian'er was born smoothly, and the concubine reflected in the future, such a strange thing is not without reason, it is actually Master Xuanzang chanting the scriptures every day, and the power of my Buddha's protection, hehe, the master is recommended by the concubine, so that the concubine can continue to serve His Majesty, so it is said to be meritorious. ”

Gaozong suddenly realized when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The queen's words are true, Master Xuanzang saved your mother and son, and he is my great benefactor, and he deserves to be rewarded. ”

Empress Wu was also overjoyed when she heard this, nodded and said, "The concubine has this intention." ”

Not to mention that Gaozong immediately ordered the chamberlain to invite Xuanzang after the banquet, Li Xian was also full of excitement since listening to the dialogue of the emperor and queen, and he had no clue after a month of hard thinking, but this conversation shocked his heart, like a drowning man suddenly grasping a life-saving straw, and felt that life was full of hope from now on.

Tang Xuanzang's name is really known to everyone in later generations, and its popularity not only surpasses that of Tang Taizong, but even the famous empress is beyond reach. And Li Xian's understanding of this person is by no means limited to the fact that this person is the prototype of Tang Seng in the mythological novel Journey to the West, as well as the super fame and status of this person in the Buddhist world of the Tang Dynasty.

As a grandmaster-level tomb robber, Li Xian was not only proficient in tomb robbery in his previous life, but also had a relatively in-depth study of Buddhism. Why do you think he's a tomb robber studying Buddhism? This is naturally related to the peculiarities of the tomb robbery industry.

In folklore, because the tomb robbery industry needs to alarm the corpse of the dead, disturb the dead and have no peace, so the most damaging yin virtue, retribution is extremely fast, in order to minimize the sins, there are many tomb robbers at the same time practice Buddhism, recite the mantra of the dead when robbing the tomb, or do things for the deceased afterwards, to exceed, although some people do not believe in this, but in order to reduce the uneasiness of conscience, or insist on doing so.

And Li Xian's previous life was one of the few tomb robbers who persevered like this, and it is precisely because of this that his understanding of Tang Xuanzang is still relatively detailed, not limited to the legendary Tang Sanzang.

Tang Xuanzang, the greatest translator in the history of Chinese Han Buddhism, the founder of the two major sects of Buddhism, Faxiangzong and Weizhizong, has a very high reputation in the Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader of Buddhism.

What's more, Li Xian heard that Master Xuanzang has a deep relationship with the Shaolin Temple, a famous temple in the world, if he can take this opportunity to learn Shaolin martial arts, and then use his martial arts to establish his merits and master the military power, is it necessary to be afraid of careerists such as martial arts? If you take the opportunity to subdue some Shaolin warrior monks and repeat the scene of "Shaolin Thirteen Stick Monks Bao Tang King", wouldn't it be a historical story?

The more Li Xian thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very feasible, so he thought about how to impress Xuanzang with the Dharma knowledge he had learned in his previous life and let him help him achieve his goal.

"Hehe, the original Li Xian didn't know gold and jade, and let go of such a person with huge energy in vain, and as a result, his fate was pinched in the hands of others, and he couldn't even protect his wife and children, but I will never lose such an opportunity, Master Xuanzang, Tang Sanzang, Brother Yu, Tang Seng Xiaoxianrou, I'm here, you have to wait for me." Li Xian's face was full of pride, and his small mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something, so shocked that the nurse Ganshi and the maid Chunyan looked at each other in surprise.
