Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 737 Together, White Horse History
Although the tea in the tea house is good, there are not many people who can really taste it.

Especially for those who don't have much experience like Empress Changsun, there is no need to say more.

There has been basically no setbacks since birth, and naturally I can't taste the taste of life.

Of course, it is also because the new tea was launched not long ago, and it is still regarded as a drink more often.

After playing around for an hour or two, I finally started to leave, but I didn't eat something in the restaurant outside.

After all, this time the court brought in an imperial cook, even though their skills were not as good as those of the old cooks in the Shu Mansion.

But compared to the restaurants in Luoyang, I don't know how much better it is, so naturally I won't be interested in these restaurants.

Maybe I still had some expectations at the beginning, but after trying it, I got a little disgusted.

"I didn't expect to bring Wugou and others with me tomorrow."

In addition, there was something that made Shu An smile bitterly, that is, Li Xiuning, Empress Changsun and others talked about the White Horse Temple.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wugou and the others basically agreed to go together tomorrow, even Shu An was a little weird.

But it should be Li Shimin's fault. After all, because of Luoyang's incident, it means that the next emperor will not be free.

So Empress Changsun wanted to be with them, which is understandable.

"Let's talk together, make it more lively."

Li Xiuning on the side couldn't help showing a smile and said aloud, obviously he also likes lively scenes.

"also may!"

After thinking for a while, Shu An nodded and said, after all, Li Xiuning's background meant that he didn't have many friends.

Even if some of them were considered friends at the beginning, but after that war-torn era, until now, their identities have changed and so on.

The word "friend" is basically one of the few, so there are even fewer people who can get together.

Although the two of them left the tea house a step late, they would probably have arrived here today.

It can be regarded as recharging energy for tomorrow. Of course, Shu An occasionally ends up playing some small games, but few people can see the other side of An Xuangong.

After Shu An also left, Wei Qing, the owner of this teahouse, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although An Xuangong and others were talking, Wei Qing still heard some words, and there were some guesses in his heart, so everything was right.

That one should be the emperor, even Wei Qing was under a lot of pressure in his heart.

If this person has some problems, or has some dissatisfaction with the teahouse, then it will be bad.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and it didn't affect anything, but Wei Qing was also puzzled in his heart, and didn't know what Duke An Xuan was talking about.

As for approaching, Wei Qing had no such thought at all, it was already a lucky thing to get to know Duke An Xuan before.

As for that one, his temper is not as good as An Xuangong's, and there are still too many levels of distance, so you must be self-aware.

"It always felt like something was going to happen."

Wei Qing looked at the direction where Shu An and the others left early and murmured softly, this must be the intuition of an old man.

In fact, the same emperor who returned to Luoyang began to gather some people who followed him, as well as some people who were stationed in Luoyang before.

This action made many families in Luoyang start to get nervous, for fear that the emperor would be angered and wanted to do something.

"Your Majesty, we have gathered many people this time to know what's going on."

"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. I heard that Weibo made a private visit yesterday. Could it be that something has angered me?"

"The children of the family have been restrained for a while, but I didn't expect something to happen."

Many families in Luoyang were discussing secretly, but they didn't have the confidence of Taiyuan Wang's to dare to confront the emperor.

Not to mention that as the national strength of the Tang Dynasty increased, these aristocratic families were not fools, so they naturally knew how to choose.

Even this incident caused many families to start self-examination, whether their own family's children caused trouble.

For a while, there was a depressing atmosphere in Chang'an, and even some people began to feel that something was wrong.

It's a pity that this matter has nothing to do with Shu An and the others. They should sleep well and drink well, and wait for tomorrow.

next day
The two carriages drove out from Luoyang, because they were going to the temple, so there was no fanfare.

Amidst the faint gathering of storms in Luoyang, some knowledgeable people in Luoyang were cautious at this time, so naturally they did not pay attention to Shu An and others.

"White Horse Temple is the first ancient temple after Buddhism entered China!"

"It is rumored that in the seventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty stayed in Nangong at night and dreamed of a six-foot-tall golden man with a shining head, who came from the west."

"The next day in the hall to interpret the dream, Dr. Fu Yi said that there is a Buddha in the West, just like in a dream. After that, more than ten people went out to the Western Regions to seek Buddhist scriptures."

After arriving at the town where the White Horse Temple was located, Shu An started talking about the White Horse Temple.

To know later generations, this White Horse Temple is a famous tourist attraction, and with its long history, it is completely a holy place for Zen.

Needless to say in this era, we must know that in this era, many famous temples in later generations have just been built, but the White Horse Temple has already had enough historical precipitation.

Of course, speaking of it, the prosperity of Zen has a lot to do with Li Shimin.

Although Li Shimin also suppressed Zen in history, Li Shimin actually believed in Buddhism, especially from the Empress Changsun.

Among them, because of the serious illness of Empress Changsun in history, Li Shimin eliminated many eminent Zen monks.

For example, in Taiyuan, I personally went to Shibi Temple to pay homage to the Zen master, and explained the treasures, and the emperor made offerings to his wife.

He also issued an edict to restore 392 famous ancient temples in the world to pray for the queen. The famous Shanji Temple and Xiuding Temple are listed here.

Of course, it can also be seen that the emperor's affection was deep, and the emperor at that time was in an irrational state.

He didn't even care about suppressing the Zen school. It can be said that Li Shimin suppressed the Zen school with his own hands, but he also supported the Zen school with his own hands.

As for the history above and beyond, there is no need to say more, but I don’t know how many emperors worshiped Buddha.

Fortunately, in this life, Empress Changsun did not have so many twists and turns, so Zen did not get support.

When Shu An was explaining the White Horse Temple, Empress Changsun and the others were also listening, showing a lot of interest on their faces.

Especially the stories about rumors, they were very interested, and Shu An didn't hold back anything.

He had also done some research on Zen, and he still knew a lot, so he began to talk about the rise and fall of the White Horse Temple.
