Li Shimin was stunned.

"That's right......"

He muttered to himself,

"It's kind of weird."

Xu Fenglei's behavior is really unusual, with his temperament, how can it be so?

"The child also thinks it's a little strange......"

Li Zhi said with some grievances,

"Father, is it true that the master and his old man don't like children, so they refuse to let children kowtow to their masters?"

"The child is really sincere, really well-behaved in front of the master, I don't know why I ......"

As he spoke, he was on the verge of crying.

"Uh...... It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, don't cry. ”

Li Shimin wiped the soles of his feet and said in a relenting voice,

"Father remembers, when you were young, you did kowtow to your master."

"At that time, your mother was still awake......

Li Zhiyi tilted his head.

"Really?"

Li Er nodded firmly.

"Naturally it's true, what did my father lie to you?"

He said,

"There is indeed such a thing, so ah, your master is by no means disliking you, but he has already accepted you."

"He has never paid attention to etiquette, and your eldest brother and sister have kowtowed for the first time, and they have never kowtowed since."

"He also treats everyone equally."

For Li Shimin, the most important thing is to make the child happy this time, what does Xu Fenglei think?

"Uh-huh...... Then the boy was relieved. ”

Li Zhi sniffled and regained his smile.

"Hmmm......"

Li Shimin said,

"And when is he going to start teaching you?"

He was most concerned about Li Zhi's schoolwork.

The education of the prince is the top priority, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.

"Master said he wouldn't teach me."

Li Zhi said a little dazedly,

"He said he taught a few ...... It's all badly taught. ”

"Either to open a money bank, or to be a Chinese medicine doctor, the eldest brother still wants to travel the rivers and lakes......"

"If you teach the children again, you are afraid that you will teach the children badly, so you simply don't interfere."

Li Shimin glared.

"He's ......"

Li Er was a little dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and finally turned into a wry smile,

"Like, that's really ......"

"One by one, you can't say that the teaching is not good, the finished materials are still all successful, it can only be said that the teaching is too individual."

"To be a good emperor, you often have to sacrifice your personality, just like Wei Zheng, if it were before, I would have slaughtered this old dog! But since I am the emperor, I have to pay attention to such a minister, and even have to offer him good words, even if he can't spit out ivory from his mouth. ”

Li Zhi nodded.

"Father, the child understands your hard work."

He stepped forward obediently and pinched his father's shoulders again.

This is a foot wash and shoulder pinching, and it is indeed a thick little padded jacket! Li Er is warm and warm, very caring!

“…… I know he's lazy, but on the other hand, it's true. ”

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and said softly,

"You can talk about today's conversation and let my father listen to it."

"Let's see what kind of attitude he has."

Li Zhi naturally responded obediently, and slowly narrated while pinching his father's shoulder.

Including the secret words of 'throwing off the black pot', it was also said like pouring beans.

In his father's place, Li Zhi had nothing to hide.

"Hah...... This bastard! ”

Li Shimin scolded with a smile,

"Isn't he going to teach you badly?"

"Childish slave, if you hide it from your father, maybe you can secretly act recklessly in the future, but now that you have said it all, your father will have one more heart!"

Li Zhi smiled shyly.

"The child knows, but the child doesn't want to hide it from his father......"

He laughed foolishly.

Li Shimin's heart is fast at this moment!

"You kid, you are too honest and kind, so how can you be a good emperor in the future."

Li Er held his son's hand and couldn't help but feel sorry,

"...... who will be bullied by those ministers with evil intentions"

"Hey! Good boy, Father will definitely pave the way for you! If you don't set a beacon to guide the way, my father will never close his eyes! ”

This kid is good, but it's too simple!

While it's lovely, it's really worrying.

Auxiliary Minister, you must choose well!

"Long live the father, the child just needs to be by your side all the time."

Li Zhi lowered his head and got up.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"Long live what? Being shouted every day, let alone long live, even if you have the age to live, your life is broken! ”

He laughed at himself,

"My father's own body, I know it in my heart."

"Your master told me to cultivate my self-cultivation and cultivate my temperament, think less and worry less, so that I can live for a few more years, but where can I do it?"

"He can be a shopkeeper, but I can't! When I open my eyes every day, I am faced with the livelihood of the people of the entire Tang Dynasty! and military, indoctrination, and law......"

"If you don't worry about one place, you may be fooled by the bottom!"

"Tell me, how can you think less about this? Since ancient times, Ming Jun has lived a short life, and he can't stop working hard. ”

"I guess it's ...... If you can live for another ten years, you will be able to burn high incense! ”

Since the age of forty, Li Shimin has clearly felt the decline in his physical function.

I used to stay up all night, and when I woke up, I was alive again.

Now I stay up all night, and I can't recuperate for seven or eight days.

He deeply realized that vitality is declining and life is passing...... Maybe I don't have a few years to live.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shimin has to consider the issue of succession.

"The child doesn't believe it."

Li Zhi said firmly,

"Father will be able to live forever!"

Li Shimin smiled, touched Li Zhi's head, and said no more.

Indeed, there is no need to talk to a child about such a topic, how can he understand?

"Don't talk about that...... Your eldest brother is here today? ”

He asked,

"He said he was going to travel the rivers and lakes?"

Li Zhi nodded.

"Well, he also said that he would write a travelogue, so that people in the world can enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers of my Tang Dynasty without leaving home."

"The eldest brother's condition seems to be really better, and the master said that as soon as he stepped down, his complexion recovered a lot."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered.

"Travelogue...... Be a prodigal. ”

"It's good, it's good, I used to bind him too much, but now it'...... He can do whatever he wants, as long as he lives well. ”

For Li Chengqian, Li Er actually felt a little guilty.

Because of the special identity of the 'prince', he is always unreasonable to Li Chengqian, almost perverted harshness, and suppression anytime and anywhere, always reminding him that he is not good enough, and he is still far behind.

Now I want to come...... I really went too far with this son......

All that can be done now is to let him go and give him the greatest freedom, which can be regarded as making up for it.

"By the way, Master also has a daughter."

Li Zhi opened his eyes wide and said,

"The child calls her Sister Wu, Sister Wu is really beautiful!"

"It's the prettiest girl a child has ever seen!"

Li Shimin was stunned.

"You mean your master's goddaughter, that girl from the Samurai Tong family......"

He agreed,

"It's really beautiful."

"But a young slave...... At your young age, what do you do when you pay attention to other people's sisters? ”

Li Zhi was stunned, scratched his head, and blushed slightly.

"Hahaha......"

Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder and laughed,

"Everyone has a love for beauty! If you don't have this heart, your father really wants to wonder if you are a male baby! ”

"Don't worry! In the future, your concubine, her beauty will definitely not lose to this martial sister! Father will choose it for you! ”

"Okay, okay, it's not too early, you should rest early. Father will arrange for you to teach a master tomorrow, and you still need to have Confucian skills. ”

Li Zhi nodded obediently.

"The child listens to his father, and the child retires."

He answered, got up and saluted, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Can't you just marry that sister to yourself? That's a lot of trouble.

……

A few days later.

Qinzhou, in a tea room.

Xu Fenglei touched the bald head of the monk in front of him, and couldn't help laughing:

"You have a shiny head, you really don't have long hair! How? ”

In front of him was a monk.

The monk sat quietly in the tearoom with his eyes downcast, like a stone that could breathe.

"Poor monks often shave their heads."

His voice is soft, and the tone alone gives people a sense of kindness and warmth.

"Tut-tut......"

Xu Fenglei looked at him in a circle, and said with some embarrassment,

"Thirteen years have passed, and the white-faced monk of the past has now gone through vicissitudes,"

"The years are not forgiving, and the wind and sand are not forgiving!"

"Come on! Xuanzang! Celebrate your return to Datang, let's have a drink! ”

This monk is the holy monk Xuanzang who successfully learned scriptures from Tianzhu and returned to the Tang Dynasty!

Now, the news of his return has spread all over the world! It will soon reach Chang'an, and it will inevitably cause a frenzy at that time!

Buddhism will be prosperous!

Buddhism, will be Xing!

And all this is because of the legendary monk in front of him!

"Okay, I'll replace wine with tea."

Xuanzang raised the teacup, touched the cup with Xu Fenglei, and then took a sip of tea.

His movements, not hurried, have a power that can subtract impetuousness and calm people's hearts.

"You got the scriptures this time, right?"

Xu Fenglei asked with a smile,

"Tianzhu, is it the same as you imagined?"

Xuanzang finally smiled when he heard this question.

He nodded, then shook his head.

"The true scripture has indeed been obtained, but Tianzhu is not the same as I imagined."

Xuanzang Zhengsedao,

"In Nalanda Temple, I obtained 657 sutras, laws, and treatises, among which the "Great Prajna Sutra", "Heart Sutra", and "Theory of Enlightenment" are the essence."

"The most special is the Treatise on the Land of the Yogis, which is the great treatise on the cultivation of Mahayana bodhisattvas! Based on the "Treatise on the Land of Yogis", one can attain the Mahayana bodhisattva status and even the Buddha fruit! It's true! ”

Xu Fenglei bowed slightly.

"As for Tianzhu, I thought it was a Buddha country, after all, the Buddha was born there and the Dharma was preached there."

Xuanzang continued,

"But in fact, there are many foreign Taoist sects in Tianzhu, such as Brahmanism, Jainism and various small sects, and the list is endless, and its situation is similar to our Spring and Autumn Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended."

And among these foreign Taoist sects, the momentum of Brahmanism once overwhelmed Buddhism! This is very puzzling. ”

"Buddhism is the most special, in Tianzhu, how can there be a sect that overpowers Buddhism?"

Xu Fenglei laughed.

"Why do you have the heart to compete for the highs and lows?"

He said,

"Aren't you monks pursuing the purity of the six roots of the group? Isn't it futile to fight over who is strong and who is weak? ”

Xuanzang's expression was solemn.

"The Master is right, this trouble should not have been born, but the poor monk is indeed curious—what is so strange about Brahmanism that can gather so many believers?"

In addition, many Buddhist monks and Brahmanical monks have failed, which also makes the poor monks wonder, is it really more special than the Dharma? No, I always think that the Dharma is the most special. ”

"With this in mind, the poor monk came to Tianzhu, and in addition to studying Buddhism, he also dabbled in a lot of Brahmanical texts."

Xu Fenglei gave a thumbs up.

"Niu, you really responded to that sentence - learning Buddhism, the husband did it."

A monk of the Tang Dynasty, after a lot of hardships to Tianzhu, in the case of not understanding the language, not obeying the water and soil, not only to learn Tianzhu's Sanskrit, to study Buddhism, but also to think of the Tao with people from other ways to correct the name of Buddhism.

What kind of wisdom and perseverance does this take?

Other monks don't say it, Xuanzang is indeed a husband.

"And then?"

Xu Fenglei asked with interest.

Although he probably knew Xuanzang's experience, he still wanted to hear what the other party told him in person.

This first-hand information is precious!

Xuanzang heard this and smiled slightly.

"I have been studying Buddhism in Nalanda Monastery for ten years, and the more I study, the more I feel that Buddhism is incredible, and the more certain I am that this is the most special Dharma in the world."

He laughed,

"Can be comparable to the wisdom of the Buddha, there is no second person in Tianzhu, only I have one person in Huaxia who can be compared, and that is Lao Tzu."

"Come to think of it, the truly enlightened beings, the people who have attained supreme enlightenment, have the same thoughts."

Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty must think it is very beautiful when you hear this, after all, Lao Tzu is the holy grandfather of the Li family."

"I'm glad to hear it, because I'm a Taoist priest, haha."

Xuanzang's first said:

"I'm just telling the truth, and I don't mean to belittle anyone or exalt anyone."

"Several Brahmanical scriptures do have merit, if I had just arrived in Tianzhu, I might still be bluffed, but I have studied Buddhism for ten years......

The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Seeing his expression, Xu Fenglei couldn't help but quip:

"Don't have a crooked mouth, if it's crooked, it won't fit your image as a monk."

Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "Taishi is still so humorous."

He said, "After ten years of study, I have become convinced that the Dharma is above the Brahmanical Dharma!" I have the self-confidence that I can refute all external ways and uphold the Fa-rectification! ”

"So, I set up a dojo at Nalanda Monastery and set it up for ten days, waiting for the outer way to come to the door."

"I also made an oath that within ten days, if there is a foreign way that can defeat me, I Xuanzang is willing to die and commit suicide on the spot!"

"Guess what?"
