Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 370 The Ordinary Road (The Finale 2)

Li He promised Cui Xuan to take care of Cui's disciples, and asked him to rest assured.

Cui Xuan believed that although there were many dignitaries in the court, Song Jing was the only one who could entrust him with important tasks and feel at ease.

Song Jing has never changed his mind during his many years of official career, and he can be honest and honest in his duties. It is commendable that he is sincere to both Li He and Cui Xuan.

He is also the only one among the upstarts in the DPRK and China who can have both sides, without a clear support attitude, but can be admired by both forces.

As for the newly born Wang Wuzhang and other upstarts, they are indeed relatively immature.

For Cui Xuan's other subordinates, Li He also selected the best according to Cui Xuan's feedback and observation.

As Cui Xuan said, the empress wanted to retire.

The thought of abdicating came very suddenly, but it was also very reasonable.

The example set by Wu Zetian, and the suppression of Li He over the years, even allowed him to use mutiny to resolve his struggle with Cui Xuan.

Is this not constrained enough, or too constrained?
Seven days later, the empress became the crown prince.

The first thing Li He did when he ascended the throne was to execute the power minister Cui Xuan for various crimes. Although he did not derogate his achievements, he exaggerated Cui Xuan's many faults and sentenced him to death on the grounds that it was harmful to people's livelihood.

Song Jing fought hard with the new emperor in court, but was ordered by the new emperor to go back to the government to reflect on March.

The new official took office three fires, and none of the courtiers dared to speak out.

One month later, Song Jing was reused and promoted to a higher level because of his advice on the new business policy.

When Cui Xuan was thrown into the dungeon, Shen San asked to pay him a visit.

Shen San asked: "This is your decision."

Cui Xuan: "Yes, this can be regarded as the last contribution for Datang."

Shen San asked: "However, let me rescue you out in a way. In fact, this is not very effective. A thousand-year-old country will always weaken and perish one day."

Cui Xuan: "No, there must be hundreds of officials present at that time. Everyone knows me. It would be nice for an old friend to accompany me for a drink. What are your plans?"

Shen San asked: "I plan to visit various places in the Tang Dynasty, and many scenery should have changed."

Cui Xuan: "I really envy you, but I also despise you. It would be great if you came out to host a few years ago. Why do you have to take off until now? In the final analysis, you have harmed me."

Shen San asked: "It can't be calculated like this, you choose the road yourself, I didn't force you."

Cui Xuan: "Actually, I've always been curious about why you know so much. Is there really someone who can be good at everything?"

Shen San asked: "No, let me tell you the truth. I come from 500 years in the future. With the crystallization of human wisdom for 1000 years, many things are naturally trivial to me."

Cui Xuan: "After so many years, is it really the ideal world you mentioned?"

Shen San asked: "That is a very sad world, coming here is my greatest success, I am not like you, I am a person who would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, a good life is more important than what era I am in. "

Cui Xuan: "Don't say that, or I will really believe that you are from the future."

Shen Sanwen smiled, "I hope we can still be brothers in the next life."

Cui Xuan: "Okay, let's have a last drink, I still have a letter here, you bring it to Wang Bin."

Shen Sanwen took the letter and put it on his body, "I, the courier, promise to deliver it."

The next day Cui Xuanwen was beheaded, all the officials saw him off, and Shen Sanwen saw off his old friend for the last time at a distant tower.

One day later, Wang Bin finally came back from other places, the first thing he did was to ask Shen San why he didn't stop him.

Shen Sanwen took out Cui Xuan's letter and handed it to him.

In the letter, Cui Xuan advised him not to be bound by too many responsibilities, but to be himself and a happy person.

Wang Bin laughed out loud after watching it, his life was gone, and he even advised people to be themselves, how could this person be so stupid.

Only then did Shen Sanwen begin to explain, "This is the path he chose, and I will not interfere."

Wang Bin entered the court again, and the situation has changed.

There are more people who can contribute more than him to the country that Li He built in the early years.

Li He wanted to worship him as his prime minister, but Wang Bin directly refused.

Efforts should indeed be rewarded, but the Wang family has already gained enough, and what he has done is worthy of the people of the country and family.

If you can worship and enjoy the glory by making suggestions for the king to attract the hearts of the people, this is undoubtedly a bad example for the world, and he is unwilling to accept such a gift.

Aspects should be reserved for those who can really do more for the king and the community.

Wang Bin chose to resign, and Li He tried to persuade him to stay, but he had made up his mind.

After arranging some internal affairs of the Wang family, the creed of being honest and upright will be written into the genealogy. Wang Bin bids farewell to Shen Sanwen.

Shen San asked: "Are you planning to go sightseeing again? Why don't you go together?"

Wang Bin: "Farewell, I can't stand your husband and wife showing affection, and I haven't been anywhere in these years, and it's not interesting to play all of them."

Shen San asked: "Then do you have a place to go? Where are you going to put this big Buddha?"

Wang Bin: "Lingyin Temple, didn't you say that there will be real Buddhas in the future? I plan to become a monk there. No matter what real Buddhas or fake Buddhas are, they will all be my disciples and grandchildren, so proud."

Shen San asked: "Are you really planning to become a monk? Then I will give you a dharma name?"

Wang Bin: "No, I plan to go to Duguang Temple to study Buddhism for a period of time. If I get ordained, I won't shave it. It's cold in winter. The old monk keeps saying that I have a destiny with Buddhism, and I really like it. Go and learn it first. , and then go to Lingyin Temple to give lectures, uphold justice, and be a free-spirited lay disciple.

In terms of dharma titles, the emperor just granted me the title of Duke Ji, so I will call him Duke Ji. "

what!
Shen Sanwen was taken aback, "Good name, I counted it out, it's a name that has the potential to become a living Buddha."

Wang Bin: "Thanks to your auspicious words, it's almost time for me to set off. This trip may last indefinitely. Take care!"

Shen San asked: "Take care, live a little longer, I might visit you."

After saying goodbye to Wang Bin, Shen Sanwen and the princess also prepared their bags.

Living in Beijing is not easy.

Shen San asked: "Does the princess regret participating in the imperial power struggle? She has many unfinished regrets."

Princess: "What is there to regret? I can be an emperor, and my parents and sons are both emperors. I am afraid that I have been the only one since ancient times. Didn't you say that a princess who is too rich is a leek that was cut off? We're all fine now.

My dream has been realized, and now it is just time for you to take a look at the great rivers and mountains you mentioned, and experience the ordinary life. "

Ordinary?

Shen Sanwen looked at the queue of 2000 people, [-] guards, [-] attendants, [-] artists of various colors, and [-] maidservants, compared to the extravagance in the palace, it was indeed very ordinary.

"Come on, let's take a good look at the world together. When Australia is stable, ask He'er to send you two koalas to raise."

"Koala? It sounds very cute, so I'll wait." The princess said happily.
