People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 765

Tang Xuanzang chanted the Buddha's name and said: "The poor monk has escaped into Buddhism since he can remember. Forgive the poor monk for not letting go of Buddhism so easily and returning to the vulgar."

Li Shimin smiled with a sincere expression on his face, "It's okay, I made Master Xuanzang difficult, if Master Xuanzang can't return to vulgarity, I'm still willing to be a close friend with Master Xuanzang."

Tang Xuanzang said in a low voice: "It's getting late, and the poor monk has to go back to the monastery..."

Li Shimin stood up, took a step back, bowed slightly to Tang Xuanzang and said, "Then I will keep Master Xuanzang soon."

Tang Xuanzang also stood up and saluted and said, "The poor monk will leave."

After Tang Xuanzang chanted the Buddha's name, he turned and left Wude Hall.

The Hall of Martial Virtue regained its tranquility, and Li Shimin's expression immediately returned to ice-cold from the excitement and sincerity just now.

Even the eunuchs on the side did not dare to look directly at His Majesty's cold expression.

Even the maids at the side knelt on the ground and dared not raise their heads.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Clean up the Wude Hall."

"Here."

The maid's words trembled a little.

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and left Wude Hall.

Back at the Lizheng Palace, where Princess Gao Yang was taking a nap, Empress Changsun carefully covered Gao Yang with a bedding.

Li Shimin sat down in the Lizheng Hall and said to Empress Changsun: "Why do you think this Tang Xuanzang refused to enter the court as an official?"

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "There is no one who makes a monk an official."

Li Shimin supported his forehead and said: "It seems that it is more difficult for Tang Xuanzang to enter the court as an official than to let Li Zheng enter the court as an official."

Seeing Li Shimin's tired expression, Empress Changsun came behind him, rubbed His Majesty's temples and said, "Although Li Zheng refuses to be an official, many of Li Zheng's thoughts coincide with His Majesty's, don't they?"

Li Shimin nodded.

Empress Changsun said again: "Li Zheng is not Tang Xuanzang. On the contrary, Li Zheng and Tang Xuanzang may be opponents?"

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "You are right, Li Zheng is not Tang Xuanzang. In comparison, even if Li Zheng is not an official, it is of great use to the community, but Tang Xuanzang is not so useful to me. .”

Empress Changsun said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you should have less thoughts like this and relax your mind more."

"Let's relax?" Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Where did I have so much free time to relax, and I only came to the Lizheng Palace to rest for a while. Speaking of which, I really envy Li Zheng."

……

In Jingyang, Li Zheng bid farewell to Fang Xuanling and Prince Li Chengqian.

Glancing at the sky, he ate his lunch, and it was a good time to take a nap.

Just about to lie down, Wang Ding came again.

Sitting on the reclining chair, Li Zheng looked at Wang Ding, "Your Majesty has news."

Wang Ding said: "The news from the palace, His Majesty met Tang Xuanzang today, it seems that he refuses to return to vulgarity."

"is it?"

Wang Ding told Li Zheng the back and forth conversations between His Majesty and Tang Xuanzang.

After listening, Li Zheng let out a long sigh.

Wang Ding said again: "It is true that Master Xuanzang did not directly reject His Majesty, but he did not agree either. It seems Tang Xuanzang's attitude is not very good."

Tang Xuanzang has been a monk for half his life, and now it is a very thankless thing for him to return to the vulgar.

Tang Xuanzang's refusal is also reasonable. According to the original historical records, Li Shimin did try to persuade Tang Xuanzang to return to vulgarity several times but failed.

Tang Xuanzang devoted himself to Buddha, and you talked with him about ideals, society, and the future.

What Tang Xuanzang wanted was the prosperity of Buddhism, what you Li Shimin wanted was Jiangshan Sheji.

The two are basically on the same channel.

This is like cross-server chat is a truth.

Taking another look at Wang Ding still standing by his side, Li Zheng was lazily lying on the recliner, "Is there anything else you can do, Eunuch Wang?"

Wang Ding said, "Don't Chang'an orders have any opinion on this?"

"What do you think? What do I think? If you want me to think that your majesty is looking for Tang Xuanzang to discuss his ideals, his majesty and Tang Xuanzang's ideals are not on the same channel. Do you think it can be achieved?" Li Zheng closed his eyes and said: "My Or the idea is simpler, send the beauties directly to Tang Xuanzang's bed, and then call a group of onlookers to watch, so that it will be difficult for Tang Xuanzang not to return to vulgarity."

After hearing what Li Zheng said, Wang Ding said, "Will this be too much..."

"Too shameless?" Li Zheng sneered.

Wang Ding nodded.

"Then, does the prince have any other tricks up his sleeve?"

Wang Ding was silent again. Seeing Li Zheng taking a nap like this, it was not good to disturb him like this, so he had to walk away wisely.

In the evening, Xu Jingzong came to the stables with a burden on his back.

Li Zheng also just woke up, and saw Xu Jingzong unpacking the bag, which contained rolls of information.

"Chang'an Ling, this is the information we collected about Buddhism. Don't look at this Buddhist sect as a pure place. After checking it, there are quite a lot of news here."

Li Zheng opened a message and looked at the content above, and took a breath, "There is a monk who has an affair with a widow, and there is a child outside?"

Picking up another copy, Li Zheng looked at the content, "The host of Ximing Temple actually likes rabbits?"

Looking at the information one after another, Li Zheng clicked his tongue and said, "It's so heavy."

However, after reading a few copies, I still haven't found the most critical evidence of the conflict of interests between the temple and the dignitaries.

On the contrary, there are quite a few dignitaries among them who have been moving around all the time, and there is no news of specific interests.

Xu Jingzong said: "Don't worry, Chang'an Commander, we will definitely be able to find out after some more time. I have already arranged for several people to enter the temple to get ordained and enter the temple to investigate."

Li Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong suspiciously.

Xu Jingzong said: "Some information is easy to inquire about, and some information is too difficult to inquire about. Those monks also kept silent. I think I might be able to inquire about some information by mixing in."

"Is it too much sacrifice for someone to become a monk to inquire about news?"

Xu Jingzong said: "It is indeed a bit too big. I just want to give money. I promise one person one thousand guan. I don't know if the Chang'an order can be..."

Li Zheng smiled and said: "One person has one thousand guan, you Xu Jingzong can really speak."

"It's okay if the Chang'an Order doesn't give it. The big deal is that you will renege on the debt afterwards. If the Chang'an Order pays, you can dig out the news within half a month."

Li Zheng took out a money bag, "Except for one person with a thousand guan, but I want to find out where the money in those temples goes and where the money is. If anyone can find out, I can increase the price by [-] guan!"

Xu Jingzong stood up straight and saluted and said: "Chang'an order! Don't worry, if you can't find out, I will shave my beard and send it to the temple to investigate the case."

Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand, "Okay, you can handle the matter of inquiring about the news carefully, and there is no need to involve yourself in it. If you do, who will do things for me in the future."

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Let Chang'an make a joke."

Li Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "Are you familiar with Pingkangfang?"

"Familiar?" After glancing at Li Zheng, Xu Jingzong said in a low voice, "Most of the girls in Pingkangfang are familiar to me. If Chang'an Order requires it, I can..."
