Chapter 3 Shangguan Wan'er's father
After a while, there was an edict from the inner servant, Master Xuanzang had come to the palace, and ordered the Gan clan to take Li Xian to the Liangyi Hall to pay homage to Xuanzang.
"It's finally here." Li Xianyan was naturally excited when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to see Master Xuanzang immediately, but he was only a month now, and although he had legs, he had not developed to the point where he could run, so he could only pin all his hopes on Gan's body.
Although the Gan family is only thirty years old, when he is strong, he is just an ordinary woman after all, plus the palace ban all the way, every time he passes through a door, he needs to hand a sign for routine inspection, and this road will not be much faster.
Fortunately, Li Xian still has some patience after many years of tomb robbing in his previous life, and he thinks that he is under the holy order, and Xuanzang does not dare to disobey, so he gradually calms down, opens his eyes and slowly admires the area where he lives.
Although it is not far from the Lizheng Hall to the Liangyi Palace, but the guards along the road are extremely strict, every few steps you will see a guard in bright armor standing there, Li Xian is a veteran of tomb robbery, it can be seen from the dress of the guards at a glance that these guards are wearing the famous Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to the guards who are guarded by fixed posts, there are also parade generals, which make the entire palace forbidden and defended like an iron bucket.
Just when Li Xian's mind was still unfinished, he suddenly heard the sharp voice appear again: "There is a decree in the saint, the Xuangan clan and the seven princes will come to see you." ”
After seeing Gan's soft promise, he hurriedly entered the palace with Li Xian in his arms.
When Li Xian was carried into the Liangyi Palace, he was listening to Gaozong and a monk talking with a smile, Li Xian followed the prestige, and saw that the monk was slightly dark, not tall, and looked relatively thin, but the whole person looked energetic, especially a pair of eyes, which were particularly bright, and couldn't help but secretly applaud, although this person was not the image of Prince Charming in later film and television dramas, but Shenhua was contained, and he was definitely worthy of the image of a virtuous monk.
At this time, Gaozong obviously noticed Li Xian's arrival, so he smiled and said, "Xian'er, Wu'er, come forward quickly and see your master." ”
At this time, I heard a little girl in red clapping her hands and laughing: "Uncle is also interesting to speak, Qilang is only a full moon, how can I understand your words?" ”
Li Xian saw that this little girl was about ten years old, with a pink little face, and when she smiled, she revealed two sweet dimples, and her two big eyes were simple with a hint of cunning, and she looked childish, but she spoke so boldly that she dared to speak in front of the saint, she was definitely not an ordinary person, and saw that the little girl directly called Gaozong her uncle, and it was expected that this person must be the famous Mrs. Helan of Wei in the future.
And the subsequent scene really verified Li Xian's guess, and he saw a woman who looked somewhat similar to Empress Wu and shouted in a low voice: "Minyue Wu'er, how many times have you told your mother that Hugh has to be presumptuous in front of the saint, and the words of the saint are the holy decree, how dare you not believe it?" ”
Li Xian naturally knew that this woman was the sister of Empress Wu, the Korean lady Wu Shun, and he also heard in her words that she did not believe the various "miracles" of the so-called Qilang that Gaozong boasted.
At this time, Gaozong had already had a very good relationship with Wushun, and after hearing the sarcasm of his old lover, he couldn't hold his face a little, and hurriedly argued: "Eldest sister, don't believe it, although my Qilang is young, he is absolutely intelligent and abnormal, and he is very human." ”
After listening to this, Wu Shun didn't reply anymore, just shook her head and smiled, still not believing it, but she immediately heard an exclamation from her daughter Helan Minyue, and looked in the direction of her daughter's finger, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
It turned out that at this time, Xiao Li Xian actually put his hands in front of his chest and giggled at Master Xuanzang.
"This, it's a coincidence, it's definitely a coincidence." Wu Shun's face was full of disbelief, and he muttered in his mouth.
But I heard Gao Zong laugh and said: "Eldest sister, you see it is believing, why don't you still want to believe it, haha, I just said that although my Qilang is young, he is empathetic and very accessible." ”
Gaozong looked proud, turned his face to look at Xuanzang again, and said with a smile: "Master Xuanzang, Qing also saw it, Wu'er immediately saluted after seeing the master, which shows that the fate of Master Ru and the two is determined, and it is beyond human power to stop it, so the master will not refuse, right?" ”
At this time, although the Empress Wu did not speak, she was also smiling with phoenix eyes, looking at Xuanzang with anticipation.
But seeing that Xuanzang thought about it for a while, he bowed to Gaozong and Empress Wu, and said randomly: "Since it is invited by the saint and the queen, how dare the little monk refuse?" ”
Gaozong and Empress Wu glanced at each other, and they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and ordered someone to give a reward.
But seeing that Xuanzang refused to accept it, he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty and the queen gave it, the little monk didn't dare to resign, but the little monk is a person in Buddhism, and the money and cloth are things outside the body, and it is useless to get them. ”
Gao Zong's face changed suddenly when he heard this, but this unpleasant color quickly disappeared, and he immediately laughed and said, "What did the mage say?" Now I have a lot of temples in Chang'an, and the master is highly respected as the leader of Buddhism, and he needs to stabilize the overall situation, not to mention that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has just been completed, and he needs the master to pray for blessings. I know that the Master cares about the common people, and today I promise the Master that I will not disturb the idlers, and I will definitely return the Master to a clean place, I don't know what the Master wants? ”
Xuanzang saw Gaozong say this, although he was not very willing in his heart, he had to nod in agreement, thanked Gaozong and Wuhou, and explained the next time to pray for Li Xian's blessing and release, and then said goodbye.
And Li Xian didn't have any feelings about Xuanzang's departure, not because he was excited, but faintly felt a trace of unease, because he clearly remembered that when he suddenly made an astonishing move and saluted Xuanzang, the audience was full of surprise and admiration, but his new master Xuanzang looked at him with a different gaze, which was like the determination of the dynasty that he saw through the tomb at a glance when he robbed the tomb.
"Could it be that this Master Xuanzang really has the legendary so-called discernment, and he can actually see through my identity as a traverser? How is this possible? But if it wasn't possible, what was the matter with that gaze he had just now? ”
Whenever he thought of that dignified gaze, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and worry in his heart, but after a while, the scoundrel energy in his heart came up again, turned his heart sideways, and thought silently: "I'm the emperor's son, I think that even if Xuanzang is favored, he won't dare to talk nonsense, right?" Although he is an outsider, even if he is not afraid of life and death, can he bear to let his disciples suffer with him? Also, could his life-threatening work of translating and preaching the Bible be interrupted? ”
When Li Xian thought about it like this, he felt fearless, even if Xuanzang knew his true identity? I believe that with his wisdom, he will never dare to talk nonsense. However, if the other party really sees through his intentions, I am afraid that his plan will be difficult to achieve.
"Hmph, no matter what, I have worshipped you as a teacher in front of everyone, and I will be entangled with you in this life, if you want to get rid of me, it is really unthinkable......"
Early the next morning, just when Li Xian was in a reverie, he suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from outside the door: "The holy decree has arrived." ”
Li Xian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, although he knew that he didn't care about the eunuch's so-called will now, and at this time, there would naturally be nurses and maids to take the decree on his behalf, but he also knew that this matter must be related to himself.
Sure enough, after the nurse and the maid were busy with a lot of nervousness, they saw the eunuch announce the emperor's ordination: canonize Li Xian as the king of Zhou, grant Luozhou pastor, and add the title of "Buddha Light King", and ordered the famous craftsman to build the Zhou Wangfu, and appointed the martial artist Su Liangsi to check the Sima of the Zhou Wangfu, Dr. Taichang Yuan Lizhen to check the palace attendants, Li Yifu's young son Li Zhan, Huzhou Great Wall man Xu Qitan to check the literature of the Zhou Wangfu, Huaizhou Hanoi Fan Lubing to check the Wangfu Hucao, the prince Zhongsheren Shangguan Tingzhi, the son of the prince Shangguan Tingzhi to check the Wangfu and so on.
At this time, the word "school inspection" means concurrently, in fact, Gaozong pre-selected the royal officials for him in advance when Li Xian was a child, and this kind of treatment has never been honored in history.
But Li Xian doesn't care about this kind of honor, and he doesn't care about this long list of names and official names, because these characters Rao has done a lot of research on the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, but he can't remember it, but he only remembers a name, this person is named Shangguan Tingzhi, although whether it is in terms of official position or reputation, or even the achievements in this life, it is far inferior to several other people, but this person is very famous in history, because this person has a world-famous father Shangguan Yi, and a daughter who is even better than his father, That is, the famous talented woman in history, Shangguan Wan'er, who was called "weighing the world" by later generations!
"Hehe, I really didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er's father to become a subordinate official in my palace, and I don't know if this was originally the case in history, or was my Li Xianfu lucky, and the small act before impressed my father and arranged the future father-in-law to my mansion? It seems that Wan'er and I are really fate, and in the future, we must spare no effort to envelop and perform this old man, and take the opportunity to get closer to Wan'er. It's just that I don't know if Wan'er is born now? Hehe, I really want to see what she looks like in swaddling clothes. I, Li Xian, have just reached the full moon, and I already have the idea of starting a family in my head, who knows, I can't help but praise the world's geniuses, right? ”
As a dignified generation of princes, as an ambitious careerist, Li Xian didn't care about the subordinates in his palace, but he was particularly interested in whether his little wife was born in the future, and he was quite proud of it, which was really unbearable.
