145 Chang'an Turmoil (Part I)
Thanks to Li Shimin's strong support, the convening of the water and land festival was quickly confirmed. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But it takes a lot of time to convene the country's high monks and high roads, not to mention that they came to Chang'an, it is to find them, and it is not something that can be done in a short time. Therefore, after Li Shimin posted the list to recruit people, he could only build a colorful shed stand or something first, but fortunately, after the people arrived, he could immediately convene this festival.
"Imperial Brother, you are a person in the cultivation world, and you are very clear about the affairs of the Fa, you see how busy the Imperial Brother and I have become, you should not be idle anymore, help the Imperial Brother and I deal with these matters as soon as possible!" In order to eliminate his bad karma as soon as possible, Li Shimin was busy all day for this puja, but Jiang Liu was very idle now, don't look at his title as the presiding officer of the water and land puja, he should have full authority to handle all the things of the puja, but in fact, he was hiding to the side and didn't care about anything, so that Li Shimin couldn't help but come to him in person.
"Brother Huang, it's because I'm a person in the cultivation world that I can't deal with the matter here!" Seeing that Li Shimin was confused, Jiang Liu continued: "Brother Huang, as the presiding officer of the Fa Festival, and I am dressed as a monk, if I go out to deal with things now, it is very likely that the Buddha Gate will seize the opportunity to take the opportunity to make things happen, even if the Buddha Gate does not make trouble, the Dao Gate will be very uncomfortable when he sees you reusing the monk, so in order for the Fa to be held smoothly, I can only hide for the time being." ”
Although Li Shimin knew that Jiang Liu would definitely not hide for this reason, what Jiang Liu said did have some truth, so he could only let Jiang Liu hide and be lazy.
Seeing that Li Shimin came and went in a hurry, Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Although everyone in the world is greedy and insufficient, but as an emperor, you are too anxious, you just bowed to me, and you can't wait for me to do things for you, if it takes a long time, I won't be able to become your minion!"
Jiang Liu deliberately hung Li Shimin, just to let Li Shimin know that even if they were married, he couldn't instruct him at will.
The reason why Jiang Liu did this was also after careful consideration, after all, as a cultivator, he definitely couldn't stay in the mortal world for a long time. Although his family needs Li Shimin to take care of him, he has done enough for Li Shimin. And all along, he has almost responded to Li Shimin's requests, although this has brought him closer to Li Shimin, it will also make Li Shimin think that it is natural to let Jiang Liu do things for him. And now they are married again, which will aggravate Li Shimin's thoughts, in order to prevent Li Shimin from becoming dependent on him, it is also necessary to cool down Li Shimin.
Of course, the main reason why Jiang Liu did this was because Li Shimin did not have enough relationship with him. Although Jiang Liu chose to worship Li Shimin for the convenience of traveling westward, he and Li Shimin both knew that it was not true. Don't look at the cumbersome rituals when they worship, and announced the emperor of heaven, but the emperor of heaven is not heaven and earth, one of them is a supreme person with profound cultivation, and the other is the emperor with the protection of heaven, and the emperor can only exist as a witness, no matter which of the two violates the oath, even if the emperor wants to manage it, he can't manage it, he can only watch them dryly, and he can't punish them, so although the two have become brothers, they actually use each other to have a relationship, and Jiang Liu will certainly not be stupid to serve Li Shimin. If the two of them announced heaven and earth when they worshipped, then the situation would not be like this, Jiang Liu would definitely treat Li Shimin the same way he treated Bodhi Patriarch, but due to the separation of immortals and other reasons, Li Shimin did not know the difference between the Emperor of Heaven and heaven and earth, so he missed this opportunity, which can only be said to be the will of heaven, no wonder Jiang Liu.
After Li Shimin left, Jiang Liu announced that he was in retreat, and asked the little leopard to guard the gate, and not a single outsider should be allowed in. Because Jiang Liu knew that Li Shimin would not stop there, since he was determined to win him over, he would definitely tie himself and him together, and this water and land festival was just an opportunity, Buddhism and Taoism would pay close attention to it, as long as it was operated properly, Li Shimin's idea could really succeed. So, in order to prevent this from happening, Jiang Liu immediately went into retreat, and made up his mind that he would not come out under any circumstances before the puja began.
Seriously, Li Shimin's impression of Jiang Liu is really not very much, mainly because Jiang Liu feels that he has gone a little too far in killing his brother and forcing his father to abdicate, which is also because of the matter of Journey to the West, Jiang Liu has to deal with him, if there is another way, Jiang Liu will never take care of him.
Of course, Jiang Liu also knew that the reason why Li Shimin did that thing was also a last resort. But after all, they are all relatives, and this time killing two and imprisoning one, Li Shimin's ruthlessness and injustice will be completely revealed.
Don't look at Jiang Liu's cultivation is quite high now, in the final analysis, Jiang Liu is just a grassroots, and he still values love and righteousness quite seriously, and he can't reach the realm of a politician who only looks at interests in life and doing things, so out of contempt for Li Shimin's character, Jiang Liu never saw Li Shimin's face until he had to do so, and even when he stayed in his palace, Jiang Liu was uncomfortable.
Time flies, and two months have passed in a hurry. On the surface, Chang'an City is still the same as two months, but in fact, due to the water and land festival, there are more and more people in Chang'an City. And most of these people are monks and Taoists, because Buddhism and Taoism have been competing for a long time, so many monks and Taoists get together, and they will definitely not be in peace, although they are still restrained, but it also makes the current Chang'an City, like a barrel of explosives, can explode at any time, and the reason why it has not exploded is that there is a lack of ignition.
"Hey, it's really embarrassing, it's a shame to think that my dignified immortal was forced to such a point by an emperor of the mortal world!" Jiang Liu stayed in his small courtyard all day long, pretending to be closed and didn't dare to go out, in order to avoid Li Shimin, he was extremely depressed. Therefore, in order to pass the time, he could only use his mental power to observe the people who came to participate in the water and land puja.
Jiang Liu has nothing to do to observe others, and they are also quite interested in him as a master. There is no impermeable wall in the world, Jiang Liu has done so many great things, his name, in Chang'an City can be said to be known to everyone, even a three-year-old child, can tell a lot of legends of Jiang Liu, so the people in Chang'an City, after seeing so many worldly masters, it is natural to compare them with Jiang Liu, so that those "masters" are also familiar with what Jiang Liu does.
Due to the difference between immortals and mortals, there are very few cultivators in the mortal world, and most of them will find a place with sufficient spiritual energy to cultivate hard, in order to strive for immortality as soon as possible, and basically do not care about those mundane things in the mortal world. Therefore, almost all of these people who come to participate in the water and land puja are not cultivated, and the reason why they can become "masters" is almost all successful by deception, so after listening to Jiang Liu's deeds, these people naturally regard Jiang Liu as a liar.
