Tang Emperor Li Shimin secretly thought to himself: Could it be that this Xuanzang knows my identity?

This little monk is so young, but he is so ill-intentioned, his deeds can be punished!

But after thinking about it, he shook his head secretly, and said in his heart: This private visit to the Empress Weifu, only the Empress Changsun, Prime Minister Wei Zheng, and the chief administrator of the palace know about it, and no fourth person knows about my itinerary, could it be that this Xuanzang's words are unintentional?

Wei Zheng, who was beside him, caught a glimpse of Emperor Tang's face changing, and his heart suddenly understood, although he who accompanied Emperor Tang all the year round often spoke out, but he was also familiar with the psychology of the emperor, and secretly said: Just now, it must have been this sentence of "Don't be careful, why not be afraid of the king" The words angered the king.

Although this Xuanzang is talented and learned, he is young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how important he is, if I don't make a round here, won't it invite a disaster and ruin the monk's good future?

Before leaving, in order to avoid revealing their identities, the two monarchs and ministers agreed to call each other the master and servant.

So, Wei Zheng hurriedly whispered: "Master, this monk's soft heart is not bad, people live in the world, it is indeed rigid and easy to break, soft is eternal, this is the truth of thousands of years! ”

He raised his thumb in admiration while observing the changes in Tang Huang's face.

Wei Zheng's words were clearly praising Xuanzang, but secretly touting the emperor's pro-people and love for the people ("Jun, Zhouye; people, water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat"), and under his rule of Emperor Tang, talents like Xuanzang are now emerging.

"Hehehe..."

Emperor Tang stroked his long hair and smiled, and Prime Minister Wei's words made him quite useful.

"Okay, Xuancheng (Wei Zhengzi Xuancheng), today is also worth the trip, let's go back. ”

"Yes!" Wei Zheng replied, bowing down.

On the way back to the palace, the Tang Emperor and Wei Zheng, who had a private visit to Weifu, rode their horses slowly.

"Xuancheng, what do you think of that Xuanzang monk?"

"Master, that Xuanzang is brilliant and wise, and there may be no younger monk in Chang'an City than him. ”

"What Xuan Cheng said is true, but this water and land festival is not as good as the past, success or failure depends on the big host, the responsibility is heavy, there is no room for mistakes, although this son has only known people, but I see him young and ambitious, the edge appeared early, I am afraid he will be embarrassed by the big responsibility. ”

"Master, I have also inquired about that Xuanzang, although he is young, he has presided over many Dharma meetings in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Jingzhou, and has been unanimously recognized by both monks and laymen. ”

"Oh?"

"Moreover, I often observe the astrological aspects, and also observe the faces of the world, that Xuanzang's face is white and round, and he has the appearance of complete merits, and if time comes, he will be able to achieve a great cause one day. ”

"So, this Xuanzang is an unborn monk?"

"Exactly. ”

"Well, the water and land festival is a major event related to the supernatal reincarnation of many lonely souls and wild ghosts in the underworld, and it must be cautious, besides, the imperial court has widely posted the emperor's list and recruited the country's eminent monks, and it is necessary to openly and fairly select the monks, and everyone in the world is watching it. ”

Hyun Sung understood. Wei Zheng bowed down on his horse and answered.

"Gotta drive!!"

The horsewhip in Tang Huang's hand pulled the horse's buttocks, and the sweaty horse suddenly rushed forward, rolled up a puff of dust, and disappeared...

"Your Majesty, wait for the ministers. ”

Behind the dust, the old minister Wei Zheng raised his hand and shouted.

In the imperial study, it is quiet and elegant, and the cigarette smoke curls.

The Tang Emperor held a superb wolf hair, and was seriously studying the characters, only to see him copying the "Lanting Collection Preface" by the sage Wang Xizhi one by one.

"Your Majesty, the county lord is here. ”

The eunuch serving the emperor in the imperial study carefully interrupted the emperor's copying of calligraphy.

Tang Huang stopped copying and put the brush on the pen stand, "It turned out to be Rong'er's girl, let her in..."

Before the words fell, a crisp female voice sounded.

"Uncle Huang, I'm here!"

A wonderful person like a hibiscus out of the water stood in front of the Tang Emperor.

"It's really a female college eighteenth change, my Li family's Rong'er is now like a fairy in the sky. ”

Emperor Tang smiled at the bright and moving imperial niece in front of him.

"Uncle Huang!!" Li Rong'er said coquettishly.

"Rong'er, when did you come to Chang'an?" and what about your father?" Tang Huang put away his smile and asked.

"Uncle Huang, I'm here alone, and my father is still in Zhenjiang Mansion. ”

"Hmm, thousands of miles away, how can you dare to come to Chang'an alone with one of your daughters? Your father is also relieved that one of your daughters will go out?"

"I... Don't hide it from Uncle Huang, I ran out alone, and I disguised myself as a woman on the way......"

Looking at the pretty and lively niece in front of him with big eyes, Emperor Tang couldn't help but shake his head.

"Uncle Huang, don't tell my father, I'm afraid my father will scold me. Li Rong'er leaned closer to her side and quietly bit Uncle Huang's ear.

"Are you afraid of your father, aren't you afraid of Uncle Huang and me?" Tang Huang scratched Li Rong'er's nose and quipped.

"Uncle Huang, Rong'er has grown up, don't scratch my nose anymore. Li Rong'er puffed up a bun face.

"If you beat Uncle Huang, you will hurt me, so Rong'er is very close to Uncle Huang when she sees him, so she is naturally not afraid of you. ”

"You little girl. ”

"By the way, Uncle Huang, you are now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the king of a country, what you say is a word, and others can't object, right?"

Li Rong'er flickered with a pair of big eyes.

"Hehe, you ghostly girl, do you want to ask Uncle Huang for something?" Tang Huang pointed a finger at Li Rong'er.

"Say, what do you want to ask Uncle Huang for?" Tang Huang smiled heartily.

"I think, I want to ......"

Li Rong'er hesitated in her heart whether to say it or not, but if Uncle Huang didn't agree, what should she do?

Li Rong'er in front of her was shy, spitting and spitting, holding the pipa and half-covering her face, as if she was embarrassed to say it.

Tang Huang was also speculating in his heart: Most of his daughter's family are thin-skinned, is it ......

So, like a father, he smiled generously: "Say, Rong'er, what do you want?"

The niece before the meeting was silent, so she asked tentatively: "Isn't it the son of a family that you fell in love with?"

Hearing Uncle Huang's words, Li Rong'er's white and pink face immediately turned red, and Emperor Tang already knew it, so he laughed.

"Rong'er, if you fall in love with the son of a family, you will tell the imperial uncle that as long as this man is not married, your imperial uncle can make the decision for you, how about it?"

"Huh?"

"Really?!" Li Rong'er was immediately overjoyed.

"Uncle Huang, you are so good! You are my own uncle. Li Rong'er tightly tugged on Tang Huang's sleeve, looking very happy.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wei Zheng has something important to see. The eunuch at the door reported.

"Let him in. ”

A sound of footsteps approached, and Wei Zheng had already arrived in front of the Tang Emperor's imperial book case.

"Your Majesty, a week ago, the imperial court issued a notice to recruit the world's great virtuous monks, but although there are many unveilers, but the morality and talent are also uneven, after the careful screening of Weichen and Taifuqing, Zhongshu Ling and the two Zhang adults, five noble morals and profound Buddhist teachers have been selected, and the list of these five monks is now presented to the emperor, please rule on the emperor. ”

With that, Wei Zheng handed over the list in his hand to the Tang Emperor.

A beautiful girl with white skin was standing beside the Tang Emperor, Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: Which woman is this?

Moreover, this girl is somewhat similar to the emperor, but I recognize several princesses of the royal family, ...... is she?

When he was speculating, Emperor Tang pointed at Wei Zheng and said to Li Rong'er: "Rong'er, this is Prime Minister Wei Zheng." Come, I've met Lord Wei. ”

"Rong'er has seen Lord Wei. Li Rong'er was quite well-behaved, and immediately gave a salute to Wei Zhengyingying.

"Wei Aiqing, this is Rong'er, the daughter of the virtuous king Xuanming. Tang Huang introduced.

"It turned out to be the county lord of Rong, disrespectful, disrespectful! Chen Wei Zheng saw the county lord of Rong. ”

Wei Zheng respectfully gave a salute, although this county lord Rong is less than twenty, he is also a relative of the emperor, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister must not be abolished.
