Datang Library

Chapter 917

In the palace, Li Er was reading with great interest the Tang Dynasty Records of the Western Regions that Xuanzang gave him. This diary is very interesting. It records many deeds in foreign lands that he has never seen or heard. Bing Sweeping was very helpful in the past, but I don’t know if I can let this monk be a leader in the future.

If Xuanzang knew that his diary was used by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as a basis for marching, he would not know whether he would vomit blood if he went to attack Tianzhu, which he yearned for.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. Baiqisi came to report that half an hour ago, General Hou Jun gathered [-] marines and headed straight to Luoyang in the east."

Li Er raised his eyebrows, Hou Junji?What does he want to do?
"Luoyang? What did he go to Luoyang for? Is there any incident in Luoyang that has something to do with him recently? In just a few months, he has transferred troops again without order? Will he not change after repeated admonition?"

The servant Lao Gao replied: "There is no major event in Luoyang. The old slave guesses that it may have something to do with Master Xuanzang of Shaolin Temple, because it was reported in the city today that Master Xuanzang sent a letter of challenge to Lantian Hou to fight against Buddhism and Taoism. Hou The general also went to recruit troops after this, it is very likely that he is not going to Luoyang, but to Shaolin."

This Li Er didn't understand, Hou Junji, a great general, did he have any grudges with a monk?Is it worth you to bring [-] soldiers and horses to rush there?Could it be that you Hou Jun collected Bai Fan's benefits and gave him a head start?
"This Hou Junji, this time I must clean it up. I have ordered Li Ji to bring people back to Hou Junji. If he can't do it, he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, will take the blame and resign himself.

In addition, there is a sentence in the past, saying that no matter what the grievances are, that monk Xuanzang cannot die, and it is still useful for me to keep him.

Then you go to the academy and ask Jian Jian in person to see what kind of attitude he has. "

The servant Gao ordered to step down, and Li Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, felt that he was lying innocently. Hou Junji was only half a level behind him, and his prestige was even half a level. Can I manage him?

But no matter what, the emperor has an order, so he had no choice but to take someone to chase him, let's talk about it after catching up.

The servant Lao Gao came to Zhongnan Academy, and Bai Fan has already come here with many people, most of them are people related to Taoism, and many of them are Taoist hermits. It seems that this is the movement of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism very big.

Seeing the servant Gao coming in person, Bai Fan said with a smile: "Brother Ziyang, you take all the fellow Taoists and settle down in the guest courtyard of the academy. After a few days, the elders from the Taoist sect will arrive and we will discuss how to deal with that monk. That's it."

Master Ziyang took everyone out as he said, leaving only Li Jing, Qin Shubao, Sun Simiao, and Yuan Tiangang in the field.

Hearing Bai Fan's voice, it seems that these visitors are not of sufficient status, maybe they are all outside the Taoist sect, and they will let you know in advance that there will be seniors from the sect visiting in a few days.

"Hehe, Lao Gao, I knew that there must be no good news as soon as you came. Tell me, what bad news did your Majesty ask you to bring me?"

Everyone in the arena sat in their seats and did not move. Everyone present was higher than Lao Gao, and there was no need to greet him. On the contrary, Lao Gao did not dare to offend these people.

"Your Majesty's words are not out of the ordinary. The old slave is just a messenger, and His Majesty just asked the old slave to ask the Marquis, what is the attitude of the Marquis about the monk Xuanzang? Not long ago, General Hou Junji went straight to Shaolin Temple with [-] troops."

What?What's happening here?Everyone was very surprised, Qin Shubao laughed and said: "Old Hou is so good, I have long since disliked that monk."

Bai Fan stopped the crowd from adding confusion, and said to Lao Gao: "What is General Hou doing? Don't worry, just sit down and talk slowly."

"Master Hou and the two old gods and the two princes of the country are face to face. How dare this old slave do anything wrong? As for General Hou..."

"Let you sit down, have you forgotten that I hate this thing the most? This is Zhongnan Academy, everyone is equal, you are not an outsider, you have the right to sit on an equal footing with all of us, even if His Majesty comes personally , I will also give you a seat." Bai Fan said seriously.

Lao Gao was grateful in his heart, and respectfully gave a big gift to Bai Fan, and then boldly sat at the bottom of Qin Qiong under the encouraging eyes of everyone, belonging to the last seat in the field.

Several people present knew in their hearts that there was only one person in the Tang Dynasty who really looked up to eunuchs and eunuchs, and that was Bai Fan.

"When General Hou Junji heard that Xuanzang challenged Lord Hou, he ordered his troops to head east. We deduce that he was going to Xuanzang. After all, there has been no news of any major events in the east of the Tang Dynasty recently, but His Majesty is not very clear. What kind of enmity does General Hou have with this monk? He dared to go to war privately again, and then His Majesty sent General Li Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, to chase him back."

Li Jing smiled and said: "Li Ji? If he can recover Hou Junji, I will eat this book of war."

Qin Shubao also made a bet and said: "The pharmacist is too stingy, a certain family donated the family's cooked copper mace, if you want to eat, you can eat this."

Bai Fan burst out laughing, saying that people in Tang Dynasty like to gamble, and it is true, look at this former marshal, a former general, he did not forget to place a bet because of a piece of news.

"If I tell Brother Mao the bet between the two of you now, I think he will be very willing to see Uncle having a banquet."

The audience roared with laughter, and Bai Fan guessed: "Of course it's not for me personally that the old Hou sent troops, because this matter is my business, and the master didn't say anything, and even if others are helping, they have to stand back.

This Xuanzang stayed in Tianzhu for ten years. It is not so easy to practice Buddhism. He came back a little early. Why did he come back just after the Tang Navy finished fighting Tianzhu? Maybe he met General Hou in Tianzhu However, it also provoked General Hou. Apart from this, I can't think of other reasons. "

Everyone also thought it was reasonable, and then chatted for a while, Bai Fan asked Lao Gao to bring a message to Li Er, saying that he also wanted to hold a big fight for this Buddhist and Taoist dispute, so he decided to set it in the big sports field outside Chang'an City, which happened to be Let the people have fun together.

Except for the two old Taoists, everyone else applauded and applauded, and they all liked the excitement, while Yuan Laodao and Sun Laodao both felt that this is a joke between juniors and disciples. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is such a serious matter. Do you still want to sell tickets at the stadium?
In fact, Bai Fan is really planning to sell tickets to make money. Datang is too short of entertainment activities. It is not enough to build an entertainment city all these years, so he invests in entertainment facilities. The big stadium is one of them, which is the stadium of later generations. Here There is a sports competition every ten days, and Datang people are very popular.

On the other side, Hou Junji's troops were extremely fast, and he arrived at the foot of Shaolin Mountain in less than a day and night. Li Ji almost missed catching up, but he couldn't catch up. Hou Junji explained the reason, and Li Ji was also furious. He said that he should be killed, but Jun Ming said that the monk could not die, so the two had no choice but to catch him first and take him to the Chang'an Tian Prison.

In this way, Xuanzang was taken away in a daze, Shaolin Temple is weak now and could not be stopped at all, Abbot Tanbei had to spread the word to all Buddhist disciples in the world again, Xuanzang was arrested for being rude, this is obviously Lantian Hou pretended to be a public servant, and did not dare to fight us head-on. For a while, the public opinion in the world was very unfavorable to Bai Fan.

When Bai Fan found out, he could only give a wry smile, and he was lying on the gun innocently, so it's none of my business, okay, but now it's good, he has to fish out his opponent from the prison before the battle starts.
