If the yellow leaves fall on Xiaoguan Road, they will naturally fall in Chang'an.

The trees in the Temple of Great Mercy and Grace were originally transplanted, so the leaves fell very early.

A red leaf falls in the ink pool, rippling in the ink like a boat.

Xuanzang put down the pen in his hand, pinched the petiole to scoop up the red leaves from the ink pool, and with a slight twist of his fingers, the red leaves flipped up, one side was as red as fire, and the other side was as black as ink.

Xuanzang looked at the red and black maple leaves in front of him, and his face showed a smile that he hadn't had for a long time.

The disciple who was copying the scriptures at the beginning noticed the difference in the master, so he put down the pen in his hand, added a spoonful of water to the water cup on Xuanzang's low table and said, "Why is the master happy? ”

Xuanzang held the maple leaf in one hand, took a sip of water in the other, looked at the red leaf in his hand and said, "Wei Tuo, who guards the Dharma, is here." ”

Voyeur Ji naturally knew who the Dharma Protector Wei Tuo was in the master's mouth, so he whispered: "What can he do when he comes to Chang'an?" ”

Xuanzang smiled and said: "The Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it." ”

Voyeur Ji frowned and said: "Since Senior Brother Debater was ordered by Emperor Taizong to be beheaded in the Chang'an Street Market, Master has been cautious in his words and deeds, and has not gone out except to take over this Great Temple of Mercy and Grace.

Even so, the disciples and grandchildren of Daoyue of the Great Meditation Dojo are still reluctant to press the master, and when we have the slightest chance to show up, we will be besieged by the people of the Great Meditation Dojo.

At this time, the arrival of the short-tempered Shi Banda will not help the master much in his Dharma Consciousness Theory, on the contrary, it will bring disaster. ”

Xuanzang said with a smile: "Legend has it that there is a bird in the sky, with huge wings and no friends, almost covering the sky and the sun, whenever it rains in the sky, this bird will open its wings to hang the sky, one wing will sweep the rainstorm in the east to the East China Sea, and one wing will blow the rainstorm in the west to the West Sea, so that the water will return to its origin."

The monkey is old, and what I am looking forward to now is this bird, which has returned to Chang'an from the far western regions. ”

Listening to Xuanzang's words, he glanced at Yuanzhen, and he didn't know why, and wanted to ask Xuanzang again, but he continued: "That's it, the bird is too small, and its wings are not enough to protect the world, so wait for some time."

Peeji, you take this leaf and give it to Your Majesty, and say that Xuanzang has an occasional gain today, and you are willing to rejoice with Your Majesty. ”

Voyeur Ji took the maple leaf that had dried the ink from Xuanzang's hand, carefully wrapped it in a bay leaf, put it in his arms, and left the Great Mercy and Grace Temple in great strides.

After leaving the Great Ci'en Temple, Peeki jumped on a war horse, pulled the reins, and the black-black war horse rushed from the Great Ci'en Temple to the imperial city.

On horseback in Chang'an City, this is nothing to Peeji, on weekdays, he is always followed by three carriages, one carrying Buddhist scriptures, one carrying wine and meat, and one carrying domestic servants and prostitutes, known as three carriages of monks.

Xuanzang has never turned a blind eye to his rebellious behavior.

Chang'an people are also accustomed to this, after all, the Wei Chi family has never had any serious characters, even if the second son of the Wei Chi family is a monk, he is not a good monk among the monks.

Autumn is full of Chang'an, but no one is haggard, and a woman is frantically chasing a thin yellow dog.

The long bamboo pole kept falling on the yellow dog, but the dog still refused to let go of his mouth, and returned the piece of meat in his mouth to the fat woman.

Passing by this place, Peeki casually threw out a handful of copper coins, which crossed an arc in the air and landed accurately in the slightly open collar of the fat woman.

The woman's chest was cold, and she was about to shout and scold, but she keenly realized that it was not the prodigal's hand that came into contact with her chest, but a copper coin.

Tearing open the collar and peeking inside, he quickly covered his clothes, no longer caring about the yellow dog that continued to escape, and spat at the yellow dog: "It's cheap, you brute." ”

With that, he ran away in a hurry.

The yellow dog struggled over a low wall, and walked through the grass, until he came to a pile of rubble, pushed a stone away with his paws, and put the piece of meat on the ground, and gasped for breath, but his eyes were fixed on the mouth of the cave.

A white dog with the same bad coat color peeked out of the hole, and after carefully looking around, he devoured the hard-won fat in front of the big yellow dog.

The eyes of the big yellow dog were even more gentle, because there were three puppy heads out from under the belly of the white dog, they had not yet grown good teeth, but they also knew that the fat meat was delicious, and they followed the bite like their mother.

The white dog quickly finished eating the fat, stretched out his tongue and licked the big yellow dog's wounded head, and then took the puppy back into the hole.

The big yellow dog pushed through the stone again with his paws, blocked the hole, got up and shook his fur, and got out of a hole, ready to get more food.

Today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, Li Zhi sat on the Hu bed with an expressionless face, through the gap in the jade algae hanging down from the crown, and was coldly looking at the impassioned mouth of the official Chu Suiliang who was talking in the main hall.

He couldn't remember why Chu Suiliang spoke, and he couldn't hear what Chu Suiliang said, he only knew that this old thing was teaching himself a lesson with the words of the emperor.

I only saw Chu Suiliang's mouth covered by a thick beard spitting venom at him, and every drop of venom falling on his body made him a little embarrassed and a little painful.

At this moment, he just wants to find something to plug the mouth that spews venom, even if it is his own **.

Didn't you just bring back a woman you like from Ganye Temple, as for comparing yourself, the Tang Emperor, with Ji Xuan?

"That's all the old minister said, and please ask Your Majesty to introspect."

Chu Suiliang finally ended his tirade, which made the depressing atmosphere at the court meeting obviously relaxed.

"What Chu Xiang said is reasonable, I will think about it slowly."

Li Zhi dealt with Chu Suiliang casually, and said to the courtiers below: "Is there anything else to do?" ”

Shang Shu's left servant shot Li Ji out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Liang Jianfang, the chief manager of Gongyue Dao you appointed earlier, has brought you a piece of news that I don't know if it's good or bad, I don't know if the minister should talk about it." ”

Li Zhi naturally has a very good impression of Li Ji, and even feels very happy when he listens to him perform military affairs.

"Aiqing, come quickly, could it be that our Bow Moon Dao Chief Manager has made a fool of me again?"

Li Ji said with a smile: "After all, he is a fierce general in a hundred battles, and it is not enough to make a fool of himself, he almost killed all the Turks of the Zhuyue Department in the battle of Prison Mountain, and he also smashed the leader of the Zhuyue Department, Zhu Xi, into a pulp of meat with an eighteen-class blade in the Chinese military tent.

In the end, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, a huge and friendless Beijing Temple was cast, and more than 20,000 people were killed in the pit and the upper and lower parts of the Yue.

Then he ordered the Hui Khan Bisu at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain to watch with him, and after watching, he also lit a fire and set the Jingguan on fire, according to the Anxi military commander Shi Lu Dake, your Gongyue Dao Governor Liang Jian indulged in a drinking carnival on the burning Jingguan, like a hell demon king. ”

Li Zhi listened to Li Ji's report and said with a smile: "If you don't obey, you will kill it, it's not a big deal, but why does the servant say that this big victory is not necessarily a good thing?" ”

Li Ji sighed and said: "He originally wanted to use Qiuci to lure Ashina Helu to fight him in the second city of Khotan, but unfortunately, Qiuci City turned into scorched earth, and most of Khotanese City was also destroyed, and more than half of the soldiers of Shangzhou Zhichong Mansion who were stuck in Qiuci were lost, and Beizhou Zhichong Mansion and Huangzhou Zhichong Mansion were also heavily lost.

If he pays such a heavy price and can achieve his original goal, the old minister will only ask His Majesty for credit here.

It's a pity that Ashina Helu ran away, far, far, and if His Majesty wanted to exterminate him again, it would become extremely difficult.

Therefore, I can't say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. ”

After listening to Li Ji's analysis, Li Zhi did not immediately draw conclusions, but said to the crowd below: "Servant Guluo, tell me whether Liang Jianfang did a good thing or a bad thing." ”

A young man with an obvious Hu face walked out of the crowd quickly, and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that General Wuhou has done a very good thing.

Your Majesty knows that the power of my grassland comes from the population, from the people who control the strings, no one, there is no power, this time, the general killed more than 20,000 thieves in the Yuebu, Weichen thought that it had greatly weakened the power of the traitor Ashina Helu, I want to believe, it will not be long before Ashina Helu will automatically disappear in the grassland, on the Gobi. ”

Li Zhi looked at the servant Gu Luo playfully and said, "Are you afraid?" ”

Servant Guluo's body trembled, and hurriedly said, "Weichen is extremely frightened. ”

Li Zhi stood up and stood on the bed of Hu and roared angrily: "I am so terrified that your father dares to rob the sixty-seven border people of me? ”

Servant Guluo was taken aback, and hurriedly crawled on the ground and mourned: "Your Majesty doesn't know, my grassland tribe is completely different from the Tang Dynasty, and Weichen's father has infinite respect for the Tang Dynasty, how dare he do anything to rob the border people."

It's just that there are many tribes under my subordinates who claim to be my father, and they don't want to listen to my father's dispatch on weekdays, they graze on the grassland on weekdays, and they don't know the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, so they did this kind of stupid thing.

Please ask Your Majesty to allow Weichen to go back, and within a month, he will definitely be able to tie up the thieves who plagued the border people of the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an, and let His Majesty fall. ”

Li Zhi looked at the cold, trembling servants in the Tang Dynasty, and his voice suddenly became gentle.

"Servant Guluo, I know that you are a person who respects the Tang Dynasty, and I also know that your father is not a stupid person, so I also believe that this matter has nothing to do with you and your father.

I heard that you studied the scriptures with the Taifu in Taixue, and even surpassed many Tang Dynasty disciples, which is a good thing.

After completing the study, you can educate the people on the grassland.

You don't have to pay attention to the affairs of the border people, I have ordered Liang Jianfang to help you deal with this matter by the way when he returns, so as not to let your stupid people who don't know what the Tang Dynasty is to destroy your heart to study again. ”

When he heard the emperor say this, his hair was about to stand on end, and he wanted to plead with the Tang Emperor several times, and finally under the eyes of Li Ji, Cheng Biting Jin and others looking at the dead, he bowed down again and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your grace!" ”
