In Baochang Temple, a middle-aged man in plain clothes was also thinking about the same question. In front of him, a plate of cherry Biro had been eaten by him. Pu Run, who was sitting opposite him, looked at Bi Luo in the plate, and then looked at him, and his always calm and easy-going face showed a little wry smile: "Cui Shilang, I didn't buy it to entertain your ......"

Although Cui Riyong looked at the half of Biluo in his hand blankly for a long time, Purun's words could still be heard clearly, and even the last half was stuffed into his mouth, chewed, and said: "Why bother with this Biluo, I haven't tasted good wine to treat guests." ”

Pu Run frowned, and said aggrievedly: "I'm not that monk, how can I have a wine ......?"

Cui Riyong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If the cherries are ripe, I am afraid that they will taste alcohol, I will eat them for you, lest you break the precepts, isn't it right?" ”

No matter how relaxed he smiled, there was still a little doubt in his eyes - the queen mother, how could she still be the same as the queen? When she was the queen, she could still restrain her edge, but once she became the queen mother, there were some taboos. The path of the Queen of Heaven, can anyone walk? Even if you have to go, can you go now? As a courtier, his brother Zong Chuke not only did not advise, but fanned the flames, and seemed to be a little more anxious than Empress Wei.

Forget it, and let them go, if you really use these 50,000 government soldiers to do the iron and bloody hand, it's not that it can't be done, but the troubles after the thing is done, I'm afraid it will be endless. When the time comes, it is inevitable that he, the squire of the military department, will come out, and maybe as soon as he turns around, he will become the secretary of the military department.

Pu Run looked at Cui Riyong for a while, hesitated for a while, and then sighed: "You and I are finally confidants." ”

Cui Riyong couldn't help crying and laughing: "I was moved like this? ”

Speaking of the intersection of the two of them, at least Cui Riyong thinks it's a bit ridiculous.

Purun is the kind of monk who is very quiet and gentle, although he rarely speaks, but never makes people feel alienated, he is young and the Dharma is still profound, and he is also a little famous in Chang'an City, and there are people who worship him everywhere, especially when he goes to the West Market, none of the restaurant owners who are patronized by him do not send their signature dishes at home, but he is saved from fate.

It's okay once or twice, but when it comes to the third time, Purun is very embarrassed, and the handsome little face is so red that it can drip water. Although the monk's fate is also a kind of cultivation, but he is now in Baochang Temple, he is also a monk with a head and face, and there are even a few disciples under his name, and his life is very nourishing, so he doesn't need to turn his fate at all. At his insistence, the owners of the restaurants finally agreed to take his money, but only half of it, and the remaining half was counted as incense money.

As long as Purun arrives, no matter how many guests are waiting in line and how long they wait, they have to move back, and there is no shortage of people who believe in Buddhism, and those guests are willing to give way to Purun. But one day, the guest at the front of the queue was not happy, and that person was Cui Riyong.

With his status, of course, he doesn't have to go to the queue in person, just sit on the side and wait peacefully, and his little servant will take care of everything for him. But seeing that his cherry Biro was finally out of the cage, the doctor actually transferred his cherry Biro to a little novice!

When I asked, I realized that Purun was here.

Cui Riyong has also heard of Purun's reputation, a monk who is less than twenty years old, is so frivolous, and the most infuriating thing is that these ordinary people also connived and ignored it. If he didn't catch up, forget it, since he did, he had to meet this young monk with his own eyes, and then tell others the truth of first come, first come.

But as soon as he saw Purun, the anger in his heart was gone. This little monk ...... It's too good-looking.

Forget it, since he also loves to eat cherry Biluo, and he is also destined for himself, then give it to him.

Purun knew what was going on, but he didn't say anything, and after the eleventh salute, he accepted Bi Luo with a smile. Seeing this, Cui Riyong was a little unhappy in his heart, this little monk always has to excuse himself and say something to accept it, right?

As a result, starting on the second day, for a month, Cui Riyong could receive a cherry Biluo every day, which was sent by the monk Purun of the Baochang Temple. Cui Riyong had something to do at first, and he had no time to worry about it, so he finally got free, he immediately went to Baochang Temple, and the first thing he said when he saw Purun was: "Do you think that when I get tired of eating, there will be no one to compete with you for cherry Biluo?" ”

Pu Run was stunned, and when he was young, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Since then, they have become confidants.

Although Purun was a monk, he was relatively mature in mind and knew that the prosperity of Buddhism had a lot to do with whether the heavenly family respected or tolerated, so he was quite close to the royal children since he was a child, among which Li Longji was the most favored by him. To this day, he is also willing to follow Li Longji and make his own contribution to the promotion and prosperity of Buddhism.

But in this way, he and his confidant Cui Riyong will stand on the opposite side. Cui Riyong is also very good friends with Zong Chuke, and in his early years, he was even more attached to Wu Sansi, and now he is also one of Empress Wei's staff. If Li Longji wins, Cui Riyong will not end well. It's not what he wants to see.

After thinking about it again and again, he finally spoke: "You...... Don't work hard for Empress Wei and Zong Chuke anymore, quit as soon as possible, maybe it's still too late. ”

Cui Ri wiped away his expression, looked at Purun fixedly for a while, and said, "Your pair of divine eyes, did you see anything again?" ”

Purun's eyes will always see some magical things, which others don't know at all, but Cui Riyong knows a thing or two.

"I saw ...... a long time ago," Purun said, remembering the first time he met Li Longji. At that time, they were clearly still young, but they were only seven or eight years old, but the Li Longji he saw was wearing an imperial crown. Not only that, Li Longji was also surrounded by many children and grandchildren, but they were all far away from him, except for a purple-clothed chamberlain and a beautiful woman, one left and one right next to him. The purple-clothed waiter had gray sideburns and a straight waist, while the bright woman had an innocent smile and a long white silk wrapped around her neck.

At that time, Empress Zetian was on the throne, and he knew that this matter was very sensitive and he couldn't say it, so he kept secretly telling himself to forget. Over the years, he thought he couldn't remember it, but when he saw Xiao Jiangyuan for the first time, he knew that he had never forgotten - Xiao Jiangyuan was actually the purple-clothed waiter!

It was completely different from what he saw when he saw Li Longji, although Xiao Jiangyuan was still dressed in purple, the purple clothes were much more worn, the color was dull, and there were some wrinkles that were difficult to smooth. Her hair was gray, wrinkles had crept up her face, but her smile had a little more of a red dust smell than he had ever seen, and she was no longer so aloof. Her surroundings were empty and white, and no one stood beside her.

He had never seen such a stubborn life.

The reason why Cui Riyong knew his ability was because when Purun first met Cui Riyong, he also saw a picture. After the two became more acquainted, Purun told him what he had seen.

"You saw Empress Wei and Zong Chuke's ...... The end? After careful consideration, Cui Riyong finally used this word.

Purun shook his head, after all, monks can't speak.

"That's ......"

"In short, you better quit as soon as possible, you don't have to resign, you can also ask for sick leave, at most you can avoid this month, and it will be no big problem."

"Didn't you say that I will serve purple one day, isn't there an opportunity now?"

Purun sighed: "I have said all this, believe it or not, whether you listen to me or not, it's up to you." ”

"A monk can't be angry." Cui Riyong said with a smile, "Actually, if you don't say it, I also have some drums in my heart." is also against the sky, Empress Wei is much more risky than Empress Zetian, can this matter be done or not, I don't dare to gamble, naturally I want to be neutral. ”

"Neutral? As long as you and Zong Chuke are still friends for a day, in the eyes of others, you will still be a henchman of Empress Wei for a day. ”

"In that case, if I don't owe allegiance to Empress Wei, won't I be sorry for my identity?"

Purun is young after all, and he is worried about his confidant, so he is a little anxious: "Didn't I tell you ......?"

"If you hide like this, you won't get anything." Cui Riyong glanced at Pu Run deeply, laughed slowly, didn't say anything more, got up and returned home, leaving only the empty plate above Changji, still with the lingering fragrance of cherries.

"How does Biro taste?" The next morning, as soon as Li Longji arrived at the study to the sound of the morning drum, he saw Xiao Jiangyuan walking to his room with a bowl of cold tao, and he immediately followed.

Xiao Jiangyuan put down Leng Tao, respectfully saluted Li Longji, and then said, "It tastes very good, thank you Ah Lang." ”

Li Longji's smile immediately couldn't be hung up: "How many times have I told you, can you not be so polite to me?" How long have we known each other, five years, how do you treat me like a new acquaintance, thanking me at every turn? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan smiled slightly: "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

"You're sometimes more pedantic than the old Confucian!" After a pause, Li Longji shouted, "I don't care what you think, whether you are used to it or not, in the future, in front of me, you will not show this appearance!" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said with some embarrassment: "Although Ah Lang is not Wei Linggong, the slave maid does not dare to be a flaw. ”

Li Longji said angrily: "How am I to be, you also see it in your eyes, how can you worry about the peach?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was about to answer, but a little guy hurriedly rushed to the door: "Ah Lang, it's not good, General Ge and General Chen are fighting in the courtyard!" ”

"It's early in the morning, they should have just finished the night, and they came to me, there must be something." Li Longji immediately walked out of Xiao Jiangyuan's house, and then walked on the sidewalk, "I haven't said anything about this, why did the fight start?" Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan hadn't kept up for a long time, he turned around and said angrily, "Why don't you catch up quickly?" ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
