Datang start shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 681 Li Yifu: Master is the noble man of my life
This is the first official meeting between Wang Zi'an and Tang Xuanzang.

"Xuanzang, a poor monk in Lingyin Temple, met Lord Hou—"

For the legendary Tang Monk, Wang Zi'an was quite curious at first, but when he saw the fair-faced and peaceful monk in front of him, although he was considered clean and good-looking, he stood in front of him respectfully and expectantly Suddenly, my heart became dull and tasteless.

Even just now, I wanted to point out others, to cheat in advance—ahem, to encourage others to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures in advance, and my thoughts have faded a lot.

"Master Xuanzang, I have admired your name for a long time—I don't know what the Master is doing here this time?"

With no interest in his heart, he no longer wanted to chat with him, so Wang Zi'an went straight to the point.

Master Xuanzang clasped his hands together and bowed back. Then he took out a copy of "Journey to the West" from his arms and asked respectfully.

"This book has been studied by the poor monk day and night-in the eyes of others, it may be just a story with twists and turns, bizarre and wonderful, but when the poor monk reads it, every word and every word implies the true meaning of Buddhism everywhere, even if it is said above. The Daleiyin Temple in the Lingshan Mountain of the Western Heaven also seems to be vaguely alluding to it, not to mention that the person who learned the scriptures in this book calls himself Xuanzang, who has the same name as the little monk—"

Having said that, Tang Seng raised his head, looked solemnly, and looked at Wang Zi'an with burning eyes.

"——But Lord Hou is taking the opportunity to enlighten the poor monk, through this "Journey to the West" to enlighten the poor monk, as long as you break through the falsehood, see the truth, and focus on the Buddha, you will be able to break all the suffering in the world, and you will have the opportunity to go to the Western Paradise Daleiyin Temple, seek Mahayana Buddhism, save the world, cleanse people's hearts..."

Prince Ann:  …

Ah, this-

To be honest, I have a nephew in later generations. After reading Journey to the West, he walks half-squatting every day, pulling his father and calling him master every day. Take the scriptures.

Looking at the great monk in front of him whose eyes were gradually becoming fanatical, Wang Zi'an didn't know how to complain for a while.

To be honest, when he wrote this, he did have a bit of a time traveler's bad taste, thinking how much fun it would be if Tang Seng saw this story, but--I never expected, you think so much!

For a while, I didn't know how to answer the conversation, so I had to try my best to maintain a smile on my face so that I wouldn't laugh directly.As a personable, gentle and handsome Tang Houye, we are polite.

At this moment, seeing Wang Zi'an's "deep eyes" and "majestic appearance", he was "smiling and silent" just like a Buddha holding a flower.Immediately my heart was shaken, like listening to Huang Zhong Dalu, or like being enlightened, I realized it in an instant.

Can't go wrong!

This must be my Buddha using the mouth of Chang'an Houye to enlighten himself, to go to the west to seek the Mahayana scriptures, so as to save the world.Thinking of those Buddhist disciples, who were all fools and dogs, obsessed with money, Master Xuanzang's eyes became firmer.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, my Buddha is merciful—thank you Lord Hou for your enlightenment, the little monk has realized—"

Prince Ann:  …

Ah, this-

Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!
But at this moment, what else can I do, I can only continue to smile and nod slightly pretending to be profound.

Master Xuanzang's Dharma is profound. At this moment, he has fallen into the surprise of being enlightened by the Buddha. He is full of fighting spirit to go to the west to seek the scriptures.

"The little monk is willing to go west to Lingshan to seek the scriptures, and I also ask Lord Hou to give me some advice—"

"Really going?"

Wang Zi'an looked at the big monk in front of him playfully.

I remember that according to the novel, it seems that Tang Seng went to the west to learn scriptures in the 13th year of Zhenguan, but as for the Tang monk in real history, in which year did he go to learn scriptures, Wang Zi'an really didn't pay attention to this issue.

Not believers in Buddhism, serious people usually pay attention to this.

"The world is ignorant, but the little monk is willing to seek the scriptures, enlighten the world, and make my Buddha great..."

Prince Ann:  …

I admit that when I asked someone to write a book, I had a bit of a bad taste, but I really didn't think about it.

Brighten my Buddha?

Forget it.

Because he really couldn't think of the great prosperity of Buddhism, which would be of any benefit to Tang Dynasty or to himself.Could it be that when future generations mention themselves, they say that this person is the driving force behind the great prosperity of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty?
It's not that Wang Zi'an has religious prejudice, but that this religion is really difficult to describe.

It's fine if I don't do production, but I still have to get some golden body, some incense every day, and those foolish men and women who are delusional. It's better when the society is stable, but when the war is chaotic, some people even sell their children. The vend girl abandoned her family and business to worship the Buddha, which once caused a serious impact on the society and the rule of the court.

Not to mention anything else, but looking at the several top-to-bottom vigorous extermination movements that have arisen successively in history, you will know why.

"Really go?"

"I really want to go!"

"Must go?"

"Must go!"

……

So, Tang Seng traveled to the West because he read his own "Journey to the West"?
It's too bad!

Seeing this obviously determined monk, Wang Zi'an even wanted to seize this thing directly for a moment.But he understands that this kind of thing cannot be forced. If there is one, there will be two. If there is no Tang Xuanzang, there will be Song Xuanzang.

Since you can't stop it, then you can simply give up—ahem, it's wonderful to be an adult!

"It's so good, it's a good thing with immeasurable merit. If you want to go, I can't help you with anything else, but having a roll of maps, two good horses, and some entanglements can be regarded as a helping hand..."

Although he doesn't know the specific route leading to Tianzhu in this era, he still knows the general geographical distribution of the country. A small part of the world map taken some time ago is enough for him to use.

"So, I would like to thank you very much——"

This is the great merit of Lord Chang'an!
Tang Seng didn't refuse, just got up, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to Prince An.

"The kindness of Master Hou's guidance, I feel deeply, dare to ask Master Hou, if you have any other orders, as long as I can do it, I will not dare to refuse..."

Tsk, not bad, it's still on the right track.

It's a shame that I gave you so many things.

Wang Zi'an got up with a smile and walked to Master Xuanzang.

"You're welcome. The ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. The mage goes here and goes through thousands of mountains and rivers. He will definitely see exotic scenery, customs and customs that our Zhongyuan people can't see—"

Having said that, Wang Zi'an patted Tang Seng's shoulder encouragingly.

"If the mage can record what he saw along the way, and map the scenery and geography along the way into a book, and bring it back to the Central Plains in the future, so that I can experience some exotic customs, it would be great..."

Master Xuanzang nodded solemnly.

"This is a trivial matter, and it is easy to do with a little effort. This little monk will never forget Lord Hou's entrustment!"

He sent Tang Seng away with a smile, and did not forget to stand at the gate of his house and wave goodbye to others.

"Master, this journey is far away, take care along the way—"

Tang Seng, who had walked a long way, saluted Prince An Shen, then turned around again and strode away.

If you go here, you will not get the scriptures, and you will never return.

Well, there is also the entrustment of Master Hou, I will not forget it!

……

To Wang Zi'an, a little sponsorship money for traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures is simply insignificant.After returning, I immediately ordered someone to deliver them. Except for the monk's clothes and hats, which need to be purchased specially at a clothing store, the others are all ready-made, just a word.

However, the money was not given too much.

The two monks, with so much money on the road, if there is trouble, they will really go on the road, although in Wang Zi'an's view, if the guy named Bianji really goes on the road, it may not be the same for Fang Er and Gao Yang. a bad thing.

For him now, this kind of thing is just a trivial matter on the spur of the moment.On the contrary, it was because of Tang Seng's incident that reminded him of his filial disciple Li Yifu, who is now well-known in Chang'an and has become the dominant public opinion trend in the Tang Dynasty, but still, as always, came to say hello to him from time to time.

When Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, when Wang Mang was humble and not usurped?
With such a humble, low-key and filial obedient performance, whoever puts it on will not be confused?
However, there is one thing to say, no matter what the character of this guy is in history, there is really nothing to say about his ability.

The Datang Evening News was run by him, and he quickly mastered the knack of media publicity, and cooperated with Li Shimin quite tacitly without even saying hello.However, because of this, Li Shimin proposed several times that he wanted this guy to become an official.

It's just that because, in a short while, no suitable man can be found to replace Li Yifu, so I have to give up temporarily.

In this regard, Wang Zi'an has nothing to do.

Tangerines grown in Huainan are oranges, while oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges.

Under Li Zhi's subordinates, this kind of guy dared to form cronies, sell officials and sell nobles, but under Li Shimin's subordinates, he might not have the courage, and if he had the courage, he might not have the means.

I'm thinking about it.

Hearing brisk footsteps outside the courtyard gate, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.

This man, I really can't bear to talk about it, only then did I think of him, and came here unexpectedly.

"Student, I have seen Master—"

As always, this guy rushed in first, and gave Wang Zi'an a big gift respectfully, then he pursed his thick lips, and put down the package in his hand with a simple and honest face.

"After the students went back yesterday, they put aside other work at hand and worked an overtime class. They rushed out the last few "Heroes of the Condor Shooting" you wanted in advance. Please have a look at the master..."

As he said, he carefully took it out of the package and handed it to Wang Zi'an.

Then, he took out another box of snacks from inside.

"The student remembers that the three teachers and wives said that they really like the dim sum made by Wangjiang Tower. When they passed by, they bought some..."

"Brother Li, you're here—"

At this moment, a surprised voice came from outside the door, and Di Renjie and Wu Zetian jumped in from outside.

Seeing two people coming in, Li Yifu took out two more things as if juggling, and handed them to each other.

"Junior Sister Wu, Junior Brother Di, this is the inkstone that Senior Brother asked someone to buy for you. You are now studying and studying, and Senior Brother has nothing to give you. I just got these two inkstones in the past few days. Looking at you, you still don't like it. If it works well, I will bring it to you..."

Wang Zi'an glanced at it.

Good guy, Chengni Yan.

Not to mention the value of future generations, even now, Chengni inkstone is a good thing sought after by countless scholars, and it is very valuable.It is delicate in texture, solid and thick, and easy to ink, especially the two inkstones, one is crab shell blue in color, the other is gorgeous rose purple, it is definitely a fine product among Chengni inkstones.

I don't know how much effort it took to get this product, so I will give it away as soon as I say it.

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Zetian and Di Renjie saw the two inkstones, they immediately fell in love with them, grabbed the rose purple one and the crab shell green one respectively, and were reluctant to let go of them.

"It's really nice, thank you brother—"

"The things you buy are for use, as long as you like them..."

Seeing that the two junior brothers and sisters liked him very much, Li Yifu habitually showed a simple and honest smile, just like a kind-hearted senior brother.

Prince Ann:  …

If it weren't for this clever guy, he would be welcome here.

Every time I come, I bring something with me, no matter how high or low, I always put my heart into it.Coaxed his three daughters-in-law and two young apprentices around, and praised him full of praise.

People have a good way of doing things.

At least, Wang Zi'an felt that he couldn't do this.

"Okay, okay, let's go and play - it's so easy to be bought by someone, and sooner or later you'll have to count the money for someone..."

Di Renjie made a face, ran away holding the inkstone, and Wu Zetian mentioned the snacks that Li Yifu had brought.

"This is for the teacher's wife, I think it is - I will send it to the teacher's wife first..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Zi'an in a demonstrative manner, with his small chest puffed out, deliberately bypassed Wang Zi'an's figure, and walked towards the backyard.Only then did Wang Zi'an suddenly realize that this little girl had grown up a lot without knowing it, and she seemed to have a bit of a girlish look.

cough--

Quickly looked away, coughed dryly, and changed the subject.

"How are your two assistants trained—"

"Back to Master, Ouyang Wen and Xu Zhongliang are very savvy, and now they are basically able to do things independently, and they have helped students a lot. With the help of the two of them, the work has been much easier recently..."

Wang Zi'an glanced at him and smiled noncommittally.

This guy obviously realized something, and started to lay an ambush for himself, but he didn't expose his little thoughts.After all, no matter what angle you consider, Ouyang Wen and Xu Zhongliang are the best choices to take over his current job.

In fact, he and Li Shimin didn't care much about it.

Who can be careless?
As long as you can do things and know how to measure, that's fine.

"Recently, the imperial court has plans to make you an official. I don't know what you think..."

Wang Zi'an mentioned it lightly.

"Students are all determined by the master!"

Li Yifu quickly got up and bowed to Wang Zi'an.

Wang Zi'an waved his hand casually.

"You don't have to be like this—calculate, you have been in my sect for more than half a year. In the past six months, you have done a good job, and I have noticed it and am very satisfied. You, Senior Brother Ma Zhou, joined me at the same time. Under the sect, he has already left his official position, and if you go, you can count as a helper..."

"Students thank Master for his teaching and support!"

He couldn't say anything, knelt on the ground, and sincerely kowtowed heavily to Wang Zi'an a few times.

Without Master's support, how could it be possible for me, as a scholar from a poor family, to have the prestige and treatment I have today?
Even if there is a chance to become an official in the future, I don't know how long it will take.

But since having a master, everything is completely different. The master is the noble person of my life.
