Xuanzang's request sounded like nothing more than a trivial matter.

All you need is Li Hong's last notebook.

Recently, there is indeed not a lot of peace in the palace, which Li Hong knows, but even if he knows, he doesn't care too much, because he knows the person of the martial queen too well.

Those gods and ghosts can scare others, but they can't scare the martial queen.

In the final analysis, the harem is the base camp of the Empress Wu, and anyone who dares to pretend to be a ghost there will not end well.

However, Li Hong didn't expect Xuanzang to insert a bar.

"This ...... Why doesn't the maestro play it himself? ”

You must know that Xuanzang is not an ordinary person, when he traveled west to learn scriptures, he not only had a very high status in Buddhism, but also was personally summoned by Taizong.

The name of Master Sanzang was sealed by Emperor Taizong.

Otherwise, even if he was a monk again, it would be impossible for him to bow down in front of Li Hong and finish the matter.

This matter is a trivial matter, but Li Hong doesn't think so.

You must know that any ruler attaches great importance to religion, don't look at the Temple of Mercy and Grace was built by Li Zhi himself, and Master Sanzang was sealed by Emperor Taizong, so you think that Buddhism is very favored.

In fact, today's Taoism is a strong existence, after all, the Li family proclaims that they are the descendants of Laozi Li Er, and they also respect the statue of Taoism.

In addition, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the negative impact of the prevalence of Buddhism made Li Zhi very uninterested in Buddhism, so Buddhism had no advantage in fighting for territory.

In recent years, the imperial court has rarely issued new degrees.

However, in the final analysis, the Temple of Mercy and Grace was built to commemorate the Empress of the Eldest Sun, so naturally it will not be so hard, but life is not so easy.

Li Hong has come all the way. Many of the people I saw were old monks, and the new little novices were all unbranded. In other words, they are at most a monk reserve, which is not recognized by the imperial court.

In this case. It is not difficult to understand that Xuanzang wants to curry favor with Empress Wu.

In contrast, Li Hong is not very suitable to come forward.

Because on the bright side, the Li family respects Taoism after all, and he came forward to recommend a Buddhist family to do things for the Empress Wu, what is it!

However, the status of Ci'en Temple in the Buddhist family is not low, so Li Hong is not easy to reject Xuanzang directly.

"The old man is ashamed, His Majesty has repeatedly issued edicts to recruit the old man, but he has a weak heart, but it is not good to play this matter!"

The old monk's face turned red. Said.

To put it bluntly, I've rejected your dad many times, and now let me beg him, I guess he must be embarrassed by this, so I want to ask you for help!

"With all due respect, the master's talent should not be confined to a temple, if the master is willing to be summoned by his father, he will become a great weapon, and the Temple of Mercy and Grace may also benefit from it. Why should the master go far and ask for help from Lonely! ”

Li Hong pondered for a moment and said slowly.

In fact, he stayed today, although it was for Pei's sake. But it didn't take into account Xuanzang's identity.

The Tang Dynasty has never been very interested in Buddhism, but the emperor has a soft spot for talents.

To put it mildly, the Temple of Mercy and Grace can have a great reputation in Chang'an. A large part of it is because of Xuanzang in charge.

Since Xuanzang returned from his westward journey, Emperor Taizong has proposed several times to let him abandon his ties and return to customs. He even spoke highly of Xuanzang, saying that he could be a public assistant.

But Xuanzang had no choice but to devote himself to the Buddha. I had to give up.

When his father became the emperor, he asked him to be an official several times, but the old monk was very stubborn, and he didn't even go out of the door in the Ci'en Temple.

So Li Hong didn't have to think about it to know that if Xuanzang begged Li Zhi's head at this time, then he didn't want to be vulgar and had to return the vulgar.

But now that Buddhism is declining day by day, Xuanzang, as the leader of Buddhism, is even more anxious in his heart, not to mention, if he can't get it before the Chinese New Year this year, his new little apprentice will be forcibly brought back to the world.

So Xuanzang really has no way out now, so he rushed to the doctor in a hurry and asked Li Hong, who had no friendship with him.

However, looking at Li Hong's attitude, he obviously made up his mind and refused to help, which made Xuanzang a little discouraged!

"Your Highness laughed, the old man is already old, thanks to His Majesty's favor, but he is powerless!"

The old monk said sullenly.

"But speaking of which, when the old man came, I heard that His Highness asked for a sign of the upper nine in front of the Buddha?"

After a pause, Xuanzang changed the topic and asked softly.

"The matter of the hexagram sign, it's just to ask for peace of mind, but I didn't expect it to alarm the master!"

Li Hong's face was as usual, and he replied lightly.

One sentence sealed the old monk's words.

Li Hong's words are very clear, this hexagram is to ask for peace of mind, and I won't care, so don't plan to make a fuss about this matter.

"Having said that, the old man knows a son, and he may be able to help His Highness."

The old monk was choked by Li Hong's words, was silent for a moment, took out a note from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Hong.

"The master is bothered, it's getting late today, so I'll leave for the time being."

Li Hong hesitated, took the note, didn't open it, got up and planned to leave.

"Congratulations to His Highness!"

The old monk's face was as usual, and he said with his hands folded.

But Li Hong keenly felt a hint of disappointment flashing across the old monk's face.

But he didn't care in his heart, and he didn't talk about the fact that he had no friendship with the Buddha, and there was no reason to help them.

Even Li Hong himself is not very interested in Buddhism.

Thinking that Xuanzang relied on nothing more than tens of millions of believers in Buddhism, if he used this to help Li Hong, it would also be a great force, but unfortunately he didn't have time to say it.

was blocked back by Li Hong.

"But ......"

Walking to the door with Pei's family, Li Hong hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"I heard that the seventh brother is going to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to pray for his mother in the near future!"

After that, Li Hong left without looking back.

Left such a sentence with unknown meaning, and the thoughtful old monk.

"Amitabha, His Royal Highness Lao Dai Shamen Xie!"

Not long after Li Hong went out, he heard the voice of the old monk coming from behind.

With a faint smile on his face, Li Hong took Pei's little hand and left the Temple of Mercy and Grace!

In fact, Li Hong really didn't want to get involved in the matter of Buddhism, but since the old monk had already begged him, it was not good to offend them directly.

And Li Hong is clear that the current emperor and queen also have different attitudes towards Buddhism, and the Empress Wu believes in Buddhism, but Li Zhi worships Taoism.

This is also the reason why no one cares about the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism today, and there is no unified policy!

In this case, Li Hong might as well be a favor, maybe it will be useful to them in the future.

What's more, even if Li Hong didn't interfere, the Buddha Sect would definitely be able to find other people to help, and he didn't offend them.

In contrast, Li Xian's little fart child is now fourteen years old, not big, not small, and rare is favored by the Empress Wu.

Played by him, it has become harmless to himself, and if it doesn't work, it's just a child's filial piety and nonsense!

No one is going to blame him.

This can be regarded as a good fate with Buddhism.
