When Li Shimin heard this, he said casually:

"Haha, I thought it was so difficult, it turned out to be such a trivial matter."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the Venerable Master is unswervingly committed to the Buddha, which is indeed amazing!"

As soon as Xuanzang heard the emperor's promise, he hurriedly folded his hands and thanked him:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin said with a smile:

"Then I ask you, is my support for the Dharma like this considered an accumulation of virtue and doing good? Can you add blessings to me? ”

Xuanzang nodded.

"Yes, but it's not the most extraordinary."

He answered.

"And what's the most special?" Li Shimin hurriedly asked.

"Doing good without intention is the most special."

Xuanzang gave eight words.

Li Shimin sighed.

"It's hard for me to be unintentional, I do everything for a purpose."

He looked at Xuanzang and said with a smile,

"Since I don't have much merit, then I can't grant the mage's request in vain."

"The Master also has to agree to one of my conditions, so that I am willing to build a temple for you and translate the scriptures."

Xuanzang raised his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

There is no such thing as a free lunch, he knows.

"It's simple."

LI Shimindao,

"You've been seeking the truth along the way, and there are hundreds of countries you pass by, right? This road is bound to be legendary, I want you to write everything you have seen, heard, and encountered, and write a documentary memoir for me, I want to read it. ”

"It's not hard for you, is it?"

Xuanzang: "......"

Seeing that he was silent, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning.

"What, having a hard time?"

Xuanzang shook his head again and again.

"No...... There was no difficulty, His Majesty's conditions, the poor monk agreed. ”

He said quickly,

"The poor monk will write it when he goes back, this book is called "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", Your Majesty thinks it is good?"

He certainly had no difficulty!

Because a lot has been written on the Tianzhu map of the Western Regions for Xu Fenglei! You just need to string those experiences together, and it's not difficult at all!

And in fact, he himself did have the idea of writing a memoir, recording this precious and legendary experience and passing it on to future generations, which can strengthen the heart of future generations to Buddha!

Li Shimin chewed these five words twice in his mouth and bowed his head slightly.

"The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty...... Well, not bad, not bad. ”

He got up and said,

"That's it!"

"You can go back and start writing! I will ask the Ministry of Works to allocate funds to build a temple for you to concentrate on translating Buddhist scriptures! ”

Xuanzang quickly got up and saluted respectfully.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin looked at his round bald head and couldn't help laughing.

"To be honest, I appreciate you very much, a talent like you, not to assist me as an official in the court, that is really a loss for the country."

He smiled and patted Xuanzang's shoulder and said,

"Or else...... You're still vulgar, aren't you? As long as you are still vulgar, I will directly let you sit up from the fourth rank official, and have the right to discuss the government! ”

"Everything else, I've got you covered! No strings attached! As long as you can return to the vulgar official! ”

Xuanzang was taken aback.

"Your Majesty has praised it, where can a poor monk be considered a talent? It's just some experience on top of the Dharma. ”

He hurriedly refused,

"Confucianism is used to govern the country, poor monks don't know anything, and Buddhism cannot be used to govern the country.

"The poor monk has no talent, and in this life, he only wants to bring the Buddhist scriptures to be translated thoroughly, and he also asks His Majesty to complete it."

Li Shimin stared at him for a while, and finally sighed lightly.

"Don't depreciate yourself, smart people can make some achievements anywhere, and my Datang is not dedicated to Confucianism."

He waved his hand and said,

"But since you don't want to, I naturally won't force it."

"Go ahead, have a good rest these days, Buddhism is a quiet place, and I actually like to be quiet."

"Yes." Xuanzang nodded yes.

He naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

Act in a low-key manner, don't make a big deal and make trouble in Chang'an.

"Go ahead."

Li Shimin waved his hand, turned around and entered the house.

Xuanzang, under the guidance of the inner servant, quickly left the palace.

And then, he did respond to Li Shimin's words and chose to postpone the public preaching, but lived in Xingguo Temple and patiently sorted out the scriptures.

Daomen Zhang Tianshi also drifted away after helping Sun Simiao serve the last free patient.

A "dispute between Buddhism and Taoism", in the end, everyone was in the limelight, and they didn't go too far.

and harmonious, all chose the long stream of fine water.

……

In the blink of an eye, another two years have flown by.

Jin State Mansion.

"Stinky boy, don't follow me!"

"Why are you so annoying like a kraft candy? I've said it all, I don't know that question! ”

In the courtyard, a beautiful girl is teaching a simple boy.

The boy was disgusted by the girl, but his eyes were still shining, and he said in a loud voice:

"Sister Wu, you are the number one in the school!"

"You sure will! I believe you! ”

Wu Erya rolled her eyes.

"It's been a long time since I've been to school, and I'm still the first in my grade! That's all the old calendar! ”

She said angrily,

"I warn you, don't pester me!"

"Or I'll beat you!"

If she makes a gesture, she will beat someone!

The boy shrank his head, looking pitiful.

Seeing him like this, Wu Erya couldn't do it again.

At this moment, a voice came:

"You are not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes still have your legends."

Xu Fenglei held a folding fan and said happily,

"It means that you are in the school palace, and you have always been a god-like existence."

Seeing him come out, the boy immediately saluted respectfully:

"Meet Master!"

Xu Fenglei stepped forward and touched his head.

"Uh-huh."

He said,

"Huaiying, what level are you in the Academy Palace?"

This son is Di Renjie!

When this child was born, it was still the name he gave him!

In a blink of an eye, Di Renjie was also a half-sized child. At Di Zhixun's strong request, Xu Fenglei also accepted this apprentice.

"Barely number one."

Di Renjie smiled, scratched his head, glanced at Wu Erya cautiously, and said busily,

"It's all up to Sister Wu to help me with my tuition, so I can be the first!"

"Compared to her, I'm far behind!"

This kid, at this time, he didn't forget to pat Wu Erya's ass, that's called a Shangdao.

And Wu Erya did eat this, and when she heard this, her chin rose slightly.

"That is, without me, you kid would be at the upper middle level at best."

She said proudly,

"However, you are also smart, I will point you out, and you will understand. Compared to those stupid pigs, it's pretty good. ”

"Allow you to go out and say it's my apprentice."

Xu Fenglei glared and knocked on her head.

"Nonsense! Isn't that messy? ”

He chirped.

"Each is called his own ......" Wu Erya rubbed his head and muttered.

Xu Fenglei rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay, don't be poor."

He said,

"Huaiying, you go and get some fruit for your sister Wu, if she gets better, you will not be able to benefit from it."

"Yes, Master!" Di Renjie turned around obediently and trotted all the way to make a fruit plate for Wu Erya.

Looking at his back, Xu Fenglei couldn't help but smile and said:

"This kid has a good character, look at him like that, like your little heel."

"Do you like that kind of?"

Wu Erya snorted lightly.

"It's barely acceptable, it's a little more pleasing to the eye than Prince Narauszi."

She said,

"That Li Zhi is the most annoying, a few times he pretended to meet me inadvertently, but in fact, he did it on purpose! Thought I didn't know...... Hum. ”

"I hate scheming men! I like sunny and cheerful boys, at least they have to be as simple as Huaiying. ”

Xu Fenglei laughed.

"Okay, you hate it."

"Let's get down to business, how did you check the things you checked last time?"

Wu Erya didn't say a word, and took out a piece of paper from his arms.

"Well, it's all here."

She said,

"The 100,000 craftsmen in Jiuzhi Mountain are now under the command of Xue Rengui, claiming to be reclaiming the fields and maintaining the imperial tomb, but in fact, they are acting as government soldiers."

"While farming, I also have to practice, it is said that it is the Zhaoling Guard specially practiced by His Majesty."

"An army of 100,000 is also a combat force that cannot be underestimated."

Xu Fenglei suddenly.

"I say, God mysterious...... When I asked the kid, he didn't say anything, it turned out that he was secretly training the army. ”

"However, such a big thing, how can it not be a secret, right?"

Wu Erya nodded.

"Yes, it was a secret at first, and then there was no secret."

"Up to now, as long as you want to know, you can basically know if you deliberately inquire about it, and Your Majesty has not tried to hide it."

"However, I don't know much about the purpose of his establishment of Zhaolingwei, do you need to continue to investigate?"

Xu Fenglei shook his head.

"No, I'm just going to find out."

He said,

"A companion is like a tiger, it's too late to avoid it, who wants to be a roundworm in his stomach."

"That's the end of this matter, don't continue to investigate, I'll continue to be my salted fish."

Wu Erya grinned.

"In the past two years, my godfather has really used the three words of chaos to the extreme."

"I don't think you do anything except for Linglu, and you are the most comfortable in the whole court!"

Syllable!

Xu Fenglei slapped her on the head.

"Do you know what it means to be a good fighter, and you have no great achievements!"

He snorted softly,

"I'm messing around, which shows that Datang is running very well!"

"If one day I get busy, the country will be in danger!"

"So, no matter who you are, you should hope that my life is more moist......"

"Yes, yes, your old reason is unassailable." Wu Erya stuck out her tongue in pain.

Immediately, she suddenly said mysteriously:

"I have one more message for you here."

"Good news, do you want to hear it?"

"If there's a fart, I'm going to take a nap." Xu Fenglei squinted his eyes and said casually.

"Oh, can't you just be curious? It's boring......"

Wu Erya said dissatisfied.

"Okay, you say, you say, I'll listen."

Xu Fenglei opened his eyes wide and looked at Wu Erya.

"Your Majesty has drawn a portrait of a meritorious hero, and you want to place it in Lingyan Pavilion!"

Wu Erya Dao,

"There are a total of twenty-four heroes he has identified!"

"Guess what, what are you?"

The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose.

"I'm second, does anyone dare to be first?"

He laughed,

"It has to be the first! Absolutely! ”

In other aspects, Xu Fenglei may be a little more modest, but in this regard, he never depreciates himself.

You are the first!

"Look at you for beauty!"

Wu Erya snorted,

"Okay! You guessed it! Your Majesty put you first early! ”

"There is really no suspense in this, from the change of Xuanwumen to the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, whether it is from the dragon's skill or the martial arts of Wenzhi, among the ministers, you are the leader of the fault."

"The eldest grandson Wuji, who is ranked second, is hard to look forward to your neck."

Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.

That's why he's messing around.

The credit is already big enough, and you still have to be diligent and diligent...... Isn't it about to shake the Lord?

Even if the lord is not suspicious, the ministers will be jealous, and then make this and that fight.

So, now is the best.

No matter what you do, you won't have a conflict of interest with anyone! Then his prestige and status will always be the highest and greatest!

This is called dwelling and nurturing.

"Who are the twenty-four heroes?"

He asked suddenly.

"I don't remember that."

Wu Erya said,

"Anyway, it's those old faces in the court, and there are people who have passed away, such as Du Ruhui, and the ranking is still very high."

"Others, such as Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing, Li Ji, etc., are all there."

"You don't have to worry if you know that everything is complete, Your Majesty will invite you to the Lingyan Pavilion for a banquet soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Sir!"

"The edict of the high prince in the palace is here, Your Majesty invites you to gather in Lingyan Pavilion."

Xu Fenglei: "?! ”

"Your news, all well-informed?"

He was a little shocked.

Wu Erya smiled proudly.

"That's natural, the dark web has not developed in vain in recent years, I have already operated it all over the Tang Dynasty, and even foreign countries have our people, such as Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo, Tubo, these places are available!"

She is like a treasure,

"And Chang'an, as a base camp, is naturally the best!"

"In the palace, there are a lot of my eyeliner!"

"Now what the emperor's will is, I can basically know it for the first time!"

Xu Fenglei: "......"

"You're wandering frantically on the verge of death......"

He helped his forehead and said with a wry smile,

"Although your godfather and I are a big tree, I can't stand you building it like this!"

"When the time comes, you will get angry, and I'm afraid you'll burn me to death!"

This Nizi is really bold!

The tentacles are all reaching out to the palace!

"It's okay, if the emperor is unhappy, he will make a move, and I'm also testing where his bottom line is."

Wu Erya smiled and groaned,

"The bottom line is clear, and I won't be constrained in the future."

"You don't have to worry about this, I naturally have my own measure."

Xu Fenglei: "......"

"You've got a ghost of proportion! When something happens, the emperor is not counted on my head! ”

He knocked on Wu Erya's skull, glared and said, "Chang'an's side is more convergent!" You can develop the business outside as you like, especially on the Goguryeo side, develop a few more intelligence lines! ”

"If the dark web really wants to gain a foothold, it has to show its ability! Forever sheltered under my wings, one day I will fall! ”

"Understood?"
