Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Chapter 188 The eminent monk is flattering, the national religion of the Tang Dynasty 【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Not only was he dumbfounded, but the civil and military ministers were also dumbfounded.

Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong, who were drowsy at first, woke up instantly, and looked at Wei Zheng with surprise.

Is the old man a ghost?
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were also taken aback. Originally they wanted the iron-necked Wei Zheng to come forward and give the emperor a hard time, but then they smoothed things over and delayed as long as they could.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng directly agreed.

I also watch the sky at night and see that it will be auspicious day after seven days.

Will Wei Zheng still watch the sky? !
The business is quite broad!

Tang Jian coughed and said, "Wei Xiang, you, you, don't you object?"

Wei Zhengyi spoke righteously, saying: "It's because the old minister was ignorant a few days ago. Since the East Tour has already been set, it cannot be changed. Otherwise, what will the world think of my Tang court?!"

Li Shimin was very moved, but he didn't dare to move.

He tentatively said: "Wei Xiang, I can actually postpone the east tour for a month or two."

Wei Zheng said: "No need, you should go if you have booked a date, and don't go if you miss it."

"Go, go!" Li Shimin hurriedly said, "What Wei Xiang said is justified, I decided to go to the East for a tour, and I will leave this matter to Wei Xiang."

Wei Zheng smiled.

He was waiting for Li Shimin's words, let him deal with it, and he can go one step ahead.

He alone has the final say on rewards and punishments.

By the time.

If Li Shimin wanted to reward the monk again, he had to get his consent.

Moreover, he can take charge of this matter, and can also control the eunuch drafting well.

With power in hand, many things are easy to handle.

Therefore, he did not delay this time, but took the initiative to attack. Because of his initiative, the emperor will delegate power to him.

After all, when both the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty opposed it, he was so powerful and chose to support it. The emperor must have trusted him very much.

At this time, Li Shimin's thinking was that Wei Zheng must know that he cannot be persuaded, so he simply agreed.

He also wants to reciprocate and give Wei Zheng a chance to watch him.

It's all a deal.

Li Shimin said: "Is there anything else you love to play? If not, you will retreat."

Everyone retreated one after another.

Immediately, a large number of people surrounded Wei Zheng.

Tang Jian said: "Wei Xiang, why did you choose to support, this is completely different from what you said before."

Du Zhenglun said: "Wei Xiang, Your Majesty's eastward tours are wasting people's money and money, that's what you said, why are you insincere?!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Wei Xiang feels that persuasion is hopeless, so he wants to personally seize the power to follow and take care of His Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji said: "There are so many people in the court hall who can't stand it. If Minister Wei goes alone, I'm afraid it won't help."

They are not optimistic about the matter.

Wei Zhengdao: "Your Majesty's eastward tour this time, laboring the people and wasting wealth is the second priority. This old man has already discussed with the side-by-side kings. When the time comes, ask them to borrow food without interest. This matter can temporarily eliminate hidden dangers."

hiss!
Fang Xuanling's eldest grandson Wuji and the others gasped in surprise.

"Is this true?!"

"Master Tianshi is really willing to borrow food?"

"There is a large warehouse in Yunyuan Mountain, no longer under the Taicang, there are tens of millions of tons of grain stored, which can feed millions of people for years!"

"If he is willing to borrow food, the emperor's east tour will not be a problem."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

but.

Wei Zheng said, "The old man said that it's nothing to waste people's money and waste money. His Majesty's east tour this time may be more likely to breed pride and complacency, and may also be greedy for sex and bad for the body."

He shook his head and sighed, "Luoyang is the biggest stop of the Eastern Tour, and it is also the last stop of the draft. Do you think His Majesty will meet talented women?"

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs suddenly widened his eyes, his face was shocked and he couldn't believe it.

None of them thought about this level.

Changsun Wuji saluted, "Wei Xiang is far-sighted, and I am not as good as this old man."

Fang Xuanling also cupped his hands and said, "President Wei is far-sighted, I am ashamed of myself."

The others also bowed their hands one after another, making Wei Zheng a little embarrassed.

but.

He didn't say anything, Su Chen told him to ask for a lottery.

In fact, he didn't expect it either.

After all, many ministers present also believed in Buddhism, and for this reason, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Su Chen.

And there are some things that require him to do it silently in order to succeed.

Say it in advance, who knows if someone with ulterior motives will sabotage it.

After all, there was a lot of oil and water on the way to the east.

Wei Zheng didn't trust anyone until the matter was settled.

He bid farewell to the officials, went to the East Palace alone, and met the crown prince Li Chengqian. At this time, Li Chengqian's crown prince was already pregnant and was about to give birth.

Wei Zheng expressed his intention and asked Li Chengqian to invite the queen to the East Palace.

Where did Li Chengqian dare to go against Wei Zheng's intention, so he ran to the harem in a panic and invited the queen.

After Empress Changsun arrived, she first met the Crown Princess and confirmed that she was fine, then said, "Chengqian, why did you ask your mother to come here?"

Li Chengqian said: "It's not that the ministers are asking to see the queen, but the master is asking for something."

Empress Changsun was startled, she saw Wei Zheng sitting in the corner, and hurried forward to greet him.

Wei Zheng stood up and saluted.

"The old minister disregarded the etiquette and law, and begged to see the empress, and asked the empress to forgive me!"

The queen said: "Wei Xiang doesn't need to be too polite. Since Wei Xiang can see the palace through Chengqian, there must be something important."

Wei Zheng said: "There is indeed a big thing."

Afterwards, the crowd retreated, leaving only the queen and Li Chengqian.

In fact, Wei Zheng didn't want to keep Li Chengqian, but when he thought of letting a cripple run errands, and being avoided in his territory, he felt embarrassed as a master.

Just didn't see it.

He directly knelt down and said: "The old man asks the empress to follow His Majesty on the east tour."

The queen was taken aback.

She thought it was something, but it turned out that she was going to follow the east tour.

He said: "Why did Xiang Wei say this? Your Majesty is on a tour to the east. The journey is long and rugged. My palace is in poor health, so I really can't afford to follow."

She sighed, and said: "Otherwise, I would also like to follow His Majesty on a tour to the east to appreciate the great rivers and mountains."

Li Chengqian said: "Master, why don't you let me go on an east tour."

Wei Zheng said: "The Crown Princess is about to give birth, so the East Palace should not leave easily."

The prince was helpless.

He also wanted to go on a tour of the east, to be awe-inspiring, and to be able to follow Li Shimin's side, and to swear his status.

No matter what.

Wei Zheng didn't allow it.

Wei Zheng said: "This time, it is the most suitable for the empress to go with me."

The queen smiled wryly: "Wei Xiang, why do I have to go with me?!"

She was very tired. Although the elixir could prolong her life for several years, her body was still tormented by illnesses. Only Sun Simiao occasionally sent elixir to delay the pain.

However, he was still weak and tired.

Although I want to go, I am powerless.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty's eastward tour may affect the fate of the emperor, and thus affect the fate of the Tang Dynasty. Only the empress will have a chance to stop it."

The queen was taken aback.

His face became serious, "Okay, Ben Gong understands, Ben Gong will definitely go."

"I object!"

Who knows, Li Chengqian was the first to object, saying: "The queen mother is in poor health, it is really not suitable to go out. Master, you let her go, if something happens, you can't afford it."

He seldom speaks rudely like this, so after he finished speaking, he was a little blunt and didn't dare to look at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng's eyes were complicated, he could see that Li Chengqian objected, purely because he felt that this trip would affect the fate of Emperor Li Shimin, and he would be able to rise to power quickly.

So, influence affects.

As for the fate of the Tang Dynasty, it will not hurt to affect a little bit.

He was very disappointed and did not expose Li Chengqian's thoughts.

Instead, he took out a box, opened it, and found a elixir, which was the Consolidation and Peiyuan Pill that Su Chen had given him.

"This is the Consolidation and Peiyuan Pill bestowed by Master Tianshi, which can improve your health. Therefore, you don't have to worry about this trip affecting your health!"

The queen was overjoyed, "I didn't expect Master Tianshi to still miss me, Chengqian, you must thank me face to face when you find a chance."

Li Chengqian's cheeks twitched, and he hated Su Chen a little.

But when he thought of Su Chen's appearance, he became even more frightened.

The queen took the elixir, and her health improved a lot.

Then she asked: "Why does Prime Minister Wei think that His Majesty's trip this time will affect the fate of the emperor?!"

"Could it be a waste of money?!"

Wei Zheng shook his head, "Yunyuan Mountain is willing to borrow food, there is no such thing as wasting people and money. The biggest problem is that the empress will know when she goes."

The queen was puzzled, let alone why Wei Zheng refused to speak directly to the three of them face to face.

but.

With a deep understanding of righteousness, she still decided to follow.

Anyway, the health is better, and the queen is also very happy to be able to enjoy the rivers and mountains together.

After seven days.

The emperor led the ministers of civil and military affairs, as well as many Jinwu guards. Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong led the way, and Li Xiaogong led the way first, and patrolled the east.

Cheng Yaojin stayed in Chang'an, the prince supervised the country, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji assisted the prince.

As for Wei Zheng, he has already gone one step ahead.

The emperor didn't know what he was doing.

Half a month later, the east tour team passed through three counties and twelve cities, and three days later, they finally arrived in Luoyang.

There were already huge crowds of people outside the city of Luoyang, and the common people lined the road to welcome them. The monks from the White Horse Temple were chanting Buddhist scriptures outside the city.

Wei Zheng greeted them with officials of all sizes in Luoyang City.

There was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking of Su Chen's clever plan in his heart.

And many monks looked at Wei Zheng, something was wrong.

Because not long ago, after Wei Zheng came, he directly returned all the money and food donated by them, and sent someone to repair the White Horse Temple for them.

That's a good thing, and makes them all a little bit happier.

but.

Recently, the more I think about it, the more wrong I feel, and I always feel that Wei Zheng's actions are returning favors.

If all the favors are returned, how can they ask the emperor for more rewards? !
The presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, Faming, who is Xuanzang's master, led many elders, and also pulled a young monk, who was Xuanzang, right in front of the crowd.

Faming said: "Xuanzang, we came back this time to find a suitable opportunity to recommend you to the emperor. You must seize the opportunity."

Xuanzang wondered, "What chance?!"

Fa Ming said: "The opportunity to become a great success, the opportunity for my Buddhist sect to become the state religion of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop!"

Xuanzang also wanted the prosperity of Buddhism, so he was a little excited, and said, "How can I get close to His Majesty?!"

Fa Ming glanced at the monks.

The monks understood immediately, and seeing the emperor's chariot gradually approaching, they also started to act!
