"Xuanzang returned from learning the scriptures, and now he is living in Hongfu Temple, this is a grand event of my Tang Dynasty, and I specially invite you Aiqing to discuss, how to welcome Xuanzang."

Above the court, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and asked the ministers.

At this time, Chen Hao and the ministers had already arrived in the court, listening carefully to Li Shimin's words one by one.

Li Shimin attaches great importance to Xuanzang's return, this Xuanzang is not only his royal brother, but also a person from Western Buddhism.

Li Shimin still knows very well about Buddhism and the divine power of heaven.

Moreover, the matter of learning from the scriptures was also promoted by Li Shimin.

This happened more than ten years ago, when the Dragon King of Jinghe made a bet with Yuan Shoucheng, made a mistake in the rain cloth, and was beheaded by Wei Zhengmeng, the old minister of Li Shimin of Tang Taizong, and the Dragon King of Jinghe wanted Tang Taizong to return his life, so that Tang Taizong was not at peace day and night, and finally died of serious illness.

Before he died, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty is relieved, the minister has one thing to do, and he will protect His Majesty's eternal life."

Li Shimin said: "The illness is terminal, and his life is in danger, how can he keep it?"

Wei Zheng told Li Shimin: "The minister has a book, enter with Your Majesty, and take it to the Hades, and pay Fengdu judge Cui Jue."

This Cui Jue was Li Yuan's former minister back then, first under the order of Zizhou, and then promoted to the Ministry of Rites. He is friends with Wei Zheng and knows each other very well.

After Cui Yu's death, he served as a Fengdu judge in charge of the life and death document in Yinsi, and often met Wei Zheng in his dreams.

After he let Li Shimin go to hell, he taught the book to Cui Yu, and with the relationship between Wei Zheng and Cui Yu, Cui Yu would definitely put Li Shimin back.

Sure enough, after Li Shimin went to the underworld, not only did Cui Yu help, but he also received the warm hospitality of the Ten Palaces of Yama, and he also experienced a series of things in the middle, such as Li Shimin met some wandering ghosts who could not be reincarnated.

Later, Li Shimin wanted to return to Yang, but the king of the ten halls of the underworld asked him to agree to one condition.

Let him send a pumpkin to the underworld in the name of the king of people, Li Shimin is the king of people, and there is only one superpower in the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Continent, which means that Li Shimin is the lord of Nanzhan Continent.

This pumpkin represents accepting the management of the underworld in the name of the king of people. This pair of dungeons will manage the wandering ghosts in the future, which is even more justified. After all, there are many people, even if they die, they only obey the king of people, and they do not obey the ghost king of the underworld. Their resentment is so heavy that it is difficult to be reincarnated.

After Li Shimin agreed to the conditions, the King of the Ten Palaces revised the book of life and death and asked Li Shimin to return to Yang.

After returning to the yang world, Li Shimin, in the name of the king of people, gave a pumpkin to the king of the ten halls.

Later, in order to surpass those wandering ghosts and wild ghosts encountered in the underworld and let them reincarnate, Li Shimin built the Daxiangguo Temple.

As soon as the temple was completed, Li Shimin went out to recruit monks, built a water and land conference, and surpassed those wandering ghosts, and Tang Seng stood out at this senior monk selection conference. And was awarded by Li Shimin as "the left monk, the right monk, and the world's great exposition of the monk." ”

Tang Seng was on the altar to preach the Hinayana teachings, when he was interrupted by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then told him, where my Buddha came, there are Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang. It can surpass the deceased and ascend to heaven, can overcome the suffering of difficult people, can cultivate immeasurable longevity, and can do nothing to come and go.

So Tang Seng told Li Shimin that he wanted to go to the West to learn scriptures and surpass the ghosts of the world, Li Shimin naturally raised his hands to support, and even named Tang Seng as the royal brother, which is the story of Tang Seng learning scriptures in the West.

Seeing Li Shimin's inquiry, the crown prince Li Chengqian took the lead in standing up and said: "The holy monk is on behalf of my Tang Dynasty who traveled thousands of miles to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the prince's words are reasonable, the prince is the prince, and he will greet the holy monk, and the holy monk can also see that His Majesty attaches great importance to him." As soon as Li Chengqian's words fell, the civil servants under him began to build momentum for him.

"The minister thinks that it is not appropriate for the prince to go, the prince has every opportunity, and if he wants to assist His Majesty in dealing with national affairs, he should not be delayed for a moment, it is better to let King Wei go to greet the holy monk on behalf of His Majesty." The ministers on Lee Tae's side objected.

"Oh." Li Shimin just sighed lightly, without saying much, he looked at Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were looking at each other with their eyes at the moment, and was a little satisfied with both of them.

Generally speaking, as long as the prince is established, it will almost cut off the minds of other princes, and Li Tai and Li Ke should have no chance.

But Li Shimin is the first emperor of the ages, the holy emperor of the world, he naturally will not choose a mediocre person to be the emperor, he wants to choose an excellent son to inherit the throne, so he gave Li Tai and Li Ke a chance, so that they feel that the prince's position as the prince is unstable, and they also have a chance to ascend the throne.

In general, it is to let them fight, as his son Li Shimin, not only to fight, but also to fight for a brilliant one.

But in the end, it was too much of a struggle, Li Chengqian, who was fighting, rebelled, and Li Tai, who was fighting, told Li Shimin that if he inherited the throne, a hundred years later, he would kill his son and let Li Zhi be the emperor. is so frustrated, Li Shimin naturally will not pass the throne to Li Tai. Li Ke is because of his bloodline, and everyone is against it. In the end, the throne fell to Li Zhi, who had never been contested.

Thinking of fighting, Li Shimin moved his gaze from Li Chengqian and Li Tai to Chen Hao, he felt a little strange, in the past, the third son would always fight, but today it is plain and bland, it is really weird.

"King Wu, what do you think?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask.

Seeing Li Shimin ask Chen Hao, everyone in the court also looked at Chen Hao, he was too weird today.

When Chen Hao saw Li Shimin inquiring about him, he replied: "Erchen thinks that whoever goes between the prince and the king of Wei can show his father's respect for the holy monk. ”

"Ugh!" Li Chengqian and Li Tai were stunned at the same time.

Li Shimin was even more surprised, Li Ke would never say such a thing before, he pondered for a moment and said, "What if I let you go?" ”

"Father......" Li Tai was not happy.

"Shut up." Li Shimin scolded Li Tai and continued to look at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao said with a smile: "Erchen is now dedicated to cultivation, and has no intention of taking care of mortal affairs, if my father insists on asking Erchen to go, then Erchen is also willing to go." ”

"Cultivation?" Li Shimin was a little confused.

Chen Hao said: "Don't hide it from my father, today at noon, Erchen fell asleep after drinking, and met an immortal in a dream, he felt that Erchen had Huigen, so he accepted Erchen as a disciple." ”

"What?" Li Shimin sat up from the dragon chair suddenly.

The other people were also dumbfounded, you must know that anyone can cultivate the Dao, but the children of the mortal royal family cannot cultivate, because the Heavenly Court does not allow the Ancient Emperor, nor does it allow the Ancient Imperial Family.

Unless the cultivators voluntarily give up the royal power, they will never care about the royal affairs and put themselves out of the way!
