Zhang Yang looked at the letter in his hand, but smiled and said: "Monk Xuanzang said in the letter that I slaughtered the Western Regions, which led to resentment among the people in the Western Regions. ”

Li Shimin drank tea and nodded, "He also said that he went out of the customs alone, without the consent of the court, saying that he was a sinner, and hoped that I could send him down." ”

The younger siblings all surrounded the queen and talked about their harvest in Lishan.

The other end of Huaqingchi was noisy, Zhang Yang held the letter in his hand, and laughed again, "Monk Xuanzang also said that he traveled back and forth in the Western Regions and maintained the relationship between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin looked hesitant.

Zhang Yang put down the letter in his hand, read the last sentence of the letter, and asked His Majesty to send it.

It seems that he first washed his neck and let His Majesty slaughter it, but then take a closer look at this monk who boasts that he has contributed to Sheji.

After adding some tea to His Majesty, Zhang Yang said entangledly: "What does Your Majesty plan to do with him?" ”

Li Shimin nodded slightly, "He is a very smart monk, I haven't asked him about his sins for many years after he has been out of the customs, but he wants to cure your sins, so bold." ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "Well, you are indeed very bold. ”

"You have meritorious service in Sheji, but Monk Xuanzang is not, he just went to Tianzhu and the Western Regions, why should I listen to him."

It is also said that for Li Shimin, the monk Xuanzang is indeed like this, this monk just went to the Western Regions, went to Tianzhu, and got back some scriptures.

As for those scriptures, they are also useless to the Central Plains.

Li Shimin drank tea and said: "I can still distinguish between right and wrong, your credit is not comparable to Xuanzang, besides, I also plan to punish him." ”

"How is Your Majesty going to place him?"

"I plan to summon him back first, and as for disposing of him, I will think about ...... later."

"Your Majesty." Zhang Yang interrupted his words and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the reputation of Monk Xuanzang in Buddhism?" ”

Li Shimin looked at his children with a tea bowl in his hand and whispered, "Very good." ”

"Now that the monk Xuanzang is about to become the hope of Buddhism, and the disciples of Buddhism are looking forward to his return, no matter what his merits are, he will definitely become the person with the greatest merit in Buddhism, those people are looking forward to Xuanzang's return, and they have been looking forward to it for many years."

Li Shimin put down the tea bowl and motioned for Zhang Yang to continue.

"Of course, in Your Majesty's opinion, Monk Xuanzang just went to the Western Regions and went to Tianzhu once, but in this way, how much credit can he have? Not to mention whether he caused chaos to the Tang Dynasty, even if he had connections with the kings of those small countries in the Western Regions, so what? Now the four towns of Anxi have been pacified, and the Anxi Protectorate has been built. ”

Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "This monk is now waiting for me to deal with him outside the gate, and I am determined to let him return to the world." ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "How about I make an agreement with Your Majesty, if Xuanzang refuses to return to the customs, he will be allowed to stay outside the customs for the rest of his life, and if Xuanzang is willing to return to the customs, let him enter the customs after he is still vulgar and marry a wife outside the customs." ”

Let a person return to the vulgar, Li Shimin is very confident, and said with a smile: "As long as I give him a reward, he will definitely be able to return the vulgar." ”

Zhang Yang shook his head, "I don't think so, as long as he is still a monk, once he enters the customs, he will become a person admired by ten thousand people, and he does not need His Majesty's reward, this person can travel through the treacherous Western Regions, which shows that this person's will is very firm, and he can even survive in such a sinister place as the Western Regions, which also shows that this person has some skills." ”

"How does a monk become a person admired by all people?" Li Shimin was puzzled again.

Thinking about the events in history, Zhang Yang's back leaned back on the chair, shook the pu fan in his hand and whispered: "In the eyes of Your Majesty, he really shouldn't be a person admired by all people, but this matter is not what Your Majesty thinks, don't say whether he is such a person, the people of Buddhism will hold him up and shape him into an example admired by all people, and there will be people in the community who will spread his deeds, and spread these deeds to the gods." ”

"After holding him up, even if Xuanzang denies it, people won't care, not because of how powerful and great he is, these don't matter, the important thing is that Buddhism needs such a person."

"It's just that Buddhism needs to be revitalized, and it needs such a person to be the façade, and he needs to revitalize Buddhism, so that they will build momentum and spread everywhere, so that Your Majesty still thinks that Monk Xuanzang will be vulgar? He would rather live up to His Majesty's kindness than be a monk, which is related to interests and his original intention to be a monk. ”

Zhang Yang told the reason, and the words that those Tianzhu monks Bopo had said at the beginning resurfaced in his mind.

The old monk said something inexplicable and died.

Zhang Yang doesn't like the cause and effect relationship of Buddhism, and he doesn't believe in any fate, fate is always in his own hands.

Li Shimin slowly stood up, "Very good, if Xuanzang doesn't return to the vulgar, he won't want to enter the customs in his life." ”

Zhang Yang took the teacup and said: "I remember that there is a dojo in Dunhuang, which is very suitable for Monk Xuanzang, so I will detain him in Dunhuang first." ”

Li Shimin nodded.

The aunt prepared a meal at home, and after His Majesty and the Queen had eaten it, they left.

did not say to take away these younger brothers and sisters, but let them continue to stay in Lishan, these children return to the palace and miss here, and they do not stop in the palace, since the children are willing to stay, Your Majesty is also happy to worry.

left the little son-in-law, and the queen and Li Lizhen said a few more words.

Three days later, Li Shimin wrote a will and sent him to Guanwai, which was to return the monk to the world.

After another half a month, Monk Xuanzang's reply came.

Zhang Yang listened to Xu Jingzong's report, as agreed with His Majesty before, as long as Monk Xuanzang was willing to return to the vulgar and marry a wife, he would let him enter the customs.

Now he refuses to return to the customs, according to the agreement, this monk will not be able to enter the customs for the rest of his life, so he will die outside the customs for the rest of his life.

And Buddhism's previous momentum for Xuanzang also came to naught.

Knowing that the monk Xuanzang was unwilling to return to the vulgar, Tian Khan was very angry, and no one except Zhang Yang dared to refuse his kindness like this, he Xuanzang took himself too seriously.

Second, because the agreement really fulfilled Zhang Yang's expectations, he was annoyed.

His Majesty pointed to the reason why the monk Xuanzang left the customs without permission, detained the monk in Dunhuang, and detained him.

Buddhism will definitely try its best to let Xuanzang come back, but no matter how strong the energy and connections of Buddhism are, it is no match for a word from Tian Khan, let alone the layers of interrogation and exploitation that enter the customs.

The dojo in Dunhuang was directly guarded by 5,000 officers and soldiers, and the monk Xuanzang was good, he simply began to compile the scriptures in the Dunhuang dojo.

So history has turned a corner here.

Xuanzang did not return to Chang'an City, nor did he enter the customs with the scriptures, and all this was because he refused to return to the world, and he would die of old age in Dunhuang for the rest of his life.

After listening to Xu Jingzong's story, Li Tai said: "Old Xu, you are also a scholar of the Ministry of Rites now, and you should send someone to kill this monk." ”

Xu Jingzong's old face smiled bitterly, "His Royal Highness King Wei said that he laughed, the lower officials are still the servants of the Ministry of Rites, and there is no formal appointment in the court, and the Ministry of Officials has not been registered to make a case." ”

The position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jingzong thought about it, and this matter was hanging in his heart until now, and he was still thinking about it.

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice: "So the battle report from Persia is about to arrive?" ”

Xu Jingzong nodded slightly, "It is said that he has already left the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate." ”

After thinking about it again, Xu Jingzong said again: "Before, the county marquis sent Yang Lian to sell grain in the Western Regions, and let people send a lot of seeds for crops outside the Guan, and he bought them from some merchants in the Western Regions, and now he is also on the way, and he will send them to Guanzhong together with the Persian war report." ”

"Lao Xu, it's hard work."

"What is this point of the lower official, it is not easy for Zhang Shilang to support the Ministry of Rites until now."

has been appreciated and promised by Li Shimin, and now Xu Jingzong looks much more confident.

Li Tai is also wearing coarse cloth short clothes now, and he is also used to this kind of clothing, and the former King of Wei who is clothed in brocade and jade food is long gone.

How did Li Tai eat with the blacksmiths in the blacksmith workshop, do technical research together, and live out of a villager in Lishan, he was the most successful one among the masses, and he had already lived as a mass, and he said: "The will of the father is just a sentence, if in another ten or twenty years, once the situation in Guanzhong changes, Buddhism is not dead, this Xuanzang is likely to discuss again, whether he can come back, if he says that he will not be in trouble, he will still be killed." ”

The spring wind blows through the field, and the bear likes to walk down the hill and walk in the field when he has nothing to do, and now that the field has been planted with food, it is a little lonely after not plowing the land.

It jumped into the Weishui River again, fluttered in the water for a long time, and walked all the way back to Lishan with a live fish in its mouth.

Zhang Yang retracted his gaze and packed up the cards in front of him.

The card game restarted, Xu Jingzong sorted out the cards in his hand, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei said that the lower officials will consider it, this matter should be considered in the long run, it is better to say that it is simple to kill him, rather than killing him, it is better to let him be ruined, and let him die is to achieve a good name." ”

If you want to say that you are tireless in destroying people, Xu Jingzong is very good at it, he is not a good person, and this person has many means.

But who knows what this man will do?

The three of them continued to play cards, and in the end, because Xu Jingzong lost a few times, he left in disgrace.

Li Tai put away the IOU drawn by Xu Jingzong, and said curiously: "Brother-in-law, does this Xu Jingzong really have the means to deal with Monk Xuanzang?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Xu Jingzong is a bad person. ”

Whoever plays cards in Lishan can't play cards with Zhang Yang, and Li Tai has never won a penny in the hands of his brother-in-law.

Xu Jingzong lost three pieces of silver cake and owed five pieces of money.

Of course, this little thing is not as good as the good thing that he is about to become the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I suspect that this person has deliberately lost so much.

Xu Jingzong can be a man and do things, once such a person is valued by the emperor, it is strange that he does not rise to the top.

The eleventh year of Zhenguan has just begun, Xu Jingzong is not only a guy who can be a man and do things, but also a person who holds grudges, and his grievances with the eldest grandson Wuji are long, which has to start with the Qin Palace.

The farther he goes on the road to power, the closer he will get to the eldest grandson Wuji, and sooner or later he will take revenge.

In April, it was a thunderstorm again.

Zhang Yang looked at the empty windows at home, "Daughter-in-law, I agreed to replace the glass at home with a glass window." ”

The old thing was brought up again, and Li Yue simply sat down.

The couple sat opposite each other, and she said with a straight face: "Husband, how is our life now?"

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, "Life is very good." ”

Li Yue said: "Lishan has made many people envious, my mother also said later that the clan is quite jealous of Lishan, wealth and status are available in our family, if we are not satisfied with the present, we will pursue more in the future, people's ambitions are not satisfied, once not satisfied, will only ask for more in the future." ”

The daughter-in-law reads every day, Zhang Yang held his forehead in pain, and sighed: "I'm still used to being poor." ”

"Our family came from poverty, how to get into the rich, rather than for such some glass, it is better to seek development for Lishan, whether it is to protect our younger brothers and sisters, or for our own family, strength is the most important."

A greenhouse is already her greatest tolerance, and if she insists on installing glass on her own doors and windows, she will probably not back down.

"Are the imperial sister and brother-in-law going to quarrel again?"

Li Zhi, who had just taken out the pen and ink from the study, asked curiously.

Zhang Yang's originally serious expression was a little smiling, "How could my brother-in-law quarrel with your imperial sister, we won't quarrel." ”

Li Zhi hurriedly left with a roll of paper and pen and ink.

How dare you enter the prosperity of poverty all your life, Li Yue has always maintained the habit of saving money, and the money at home has been millions, and there are not many places to use money in the material-scarce Tang Dynasty.

The more money the family saves, the more money is needed, there are very few places to use it.

Every time she looks at the account books at home, her face is full of happiness.

Even if the family is rich, and now she is a mother, after so many years, she still hasn't changed at all.

Today is another day for the exam for their younger siblings, they are sitting in the middle of the Huaqing pool, and Xiao Wu and Xu Hui are handing out the exam papers.

Li Lizhi looked at the pendulum clock until nine o'clock, and said, "The exam begins." ”

The younger siblings then began to take the exam to test the results of their studies in the past month.

Zhang Yang just came out of the greenhouse and saw this scene, the weather has gradually warmed, the greenhouse glass roof was removed, and then the vegetable seedlings in the greenhouse were transplanted.

Unlike winter, spring warms the soil in the hot springs, which is not suitable for crops.

Zhang Yang dug up some vegetable seedlings that could be saved and planted them on the ridges at the bottom of the mountain.

The aunts had already prepared the meat, and in addition to mutton and pork, there was also a lot of beef sent by the Cheng family.

Although Cheng Biting Jin is usually a bastard, he is still very experienced in dealing with people, Lishan sent vegetables to their family in the cold winter, and after the cultivation of this spring was settled, his old Cheng's cattle completed their mission and happened to break their legs.

After killing the cow, the beef was brought in, and no one owed anyone back and forth, and this old bastard could live very freely.

I'm sorry to take a leave of absence today, and I'm sorry for the temporary chapter.

Because there is something to arrange on the weekend, I came back late today, and it will be updated normally tomorrow, and I will strive to make up for it.
