The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 56
The monk called?Chen Jingke thought he heard it wrong, so he confirmed it again: "Slow down, slow down, can you tell me which monk is calling? Where is the monk from?"

The Taoist said in a panic: "It's Falin, the abbot of Longtian Temple. He led people to block the gate, claiming to see the temple master."

Chen Jingke looked up at the door, and found that there were no believers coming in to burn incense, and even many pilgrims who were already in the temple were walking out, obviously preparing to watch the excitement.

What was supposed to come was finally here, and he was both nervous and a little excited.

Taking a deep breath, he said to the Taoist boy: "You go and ask Master to come over, Senior Brother, follow me to the door and deal with it first."

Yang Tianlu said hesitantly: "Why don't we wait for the temple master to go together."

Chen Jingke knew it was because he was afraid that he would lose face if he couldn't control the situation, but he didn't think so.

Now that a lofty goal has been set, it will inevitably go to the front of the stage.While I am still young, it is a good thing to experience more things.

Sometimes being young is an advantage, with a lot of room for error.Even if there is a mistake, some parents will come out to cover it up, and others will only say that this child is brave and has ideas.

When you get older in the future, you won't have the chance to make mistakes like this.

"No, let's go and see the situation first, at least we can't let things continue to deteriorate."

At this time, Qin Yandao and the other three trotted over, apparently also heard the news.

Yuchi Xunyu said angrily: "These bald donkeys are just restless and kind, wait for me to wring their heads off."

Seven or eight-year-old Cheng Chubi also eagerly said: "Yes, kill them."

Cheng Huailiang and Qin Yandao were a little helpless. There was really no way to force this kind of thing, and they also hoped to wait for Sun Simiao to come forward to solve it.

It's just that Chen Jingke has made up his mind, so they can only follow.

On the way, Yang Tianlu introduced Falin's origin to him, and he was really not an ordinary person.

The eminent monk Dade who had become famous in the pre-Sui Dynasty was also Li Yuan's guest after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.After Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to compensate Li Yuan, he specially built Longtian Temple, and Falin presided over it.

During his stay at Longtian Temple, he presided over the compilation and translation of many Buddhist classics, and was one of the most influential monks in the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Jingke's heart sank when he heard that, he didn't dare to underestimate the masters of Buddhism, many of them are learned scholars, he had to be careful.

Li Chengqian and Du He, who were wandering around in the temple, also heard the news.

Du He said a little excitedly: "I said that those people's methods can't be so simple, here comes the trump card. Your Highness, let's go and see too?"

Li Chengqian's expression was a little dignified, and he said, "I didn't expect it to be him."

Du He said as it should: "Tian Shiwen of the Taoist Louguan school and Falin of the Buddhist Longtian Temple are the most keen on the debate between Buddhism and Taoism. Zixiao Temple is coming menacingly. It would be abnormal for him not to show up."

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "It's just that he came, so I'm afraid it won't be of much use if I intervene."

Because it is very likely that Falin will really not give him face as a prince, unless he forcibly stops it.But once he did this, it would not only embarrass Zixiao Temple, but also the royal family.

Even if Falin was punished after the liquidation, the face was already lost and could not be retrieved.

But Du He said: "I don't think Your Highness needs to worry. Sun Zhenzhen is also a celebrity in the world, and his talent is even higher than that of Falin. There is almost no possibility of losing."

"Besides, if Sun Zhenren wants to form another faction, he must accept the challenge of others and convince everyone through debates. Only in this way can Zixiao Temple gain a foothold in the world."

Li Chengqian said: "Although this is the case, the matter is of great importance...Forget it, let's go ahead and have a look first."

Du He looked at his back in confusion, wondering if a Taoist temple is worth doing this?
In the eyes of outsiders, there are two reasons why the imperial court supports Zixiao Temple. One is that Sun Simiao cured the queen's illness, and the other is the political requirement of respecting Taoism.

However, only a few people know that this is not the case at all. The real reason for the royal family to support Sun Simiao's master and apprentice is only one from the beginning to the end, to save their lives.

Later, if Sun Simiao really can't handle it, Li Chengqian must stand up to mediate the end, even if it is a small loss of face.

This is also his mission here today.

But this reason cannot be told to anyone, so he has no way to explain a lot to Du He.

When they came to find a place to stand outside the door, they saw Chen Jingke walking out with someone.

This made Li Chengqian's face change, why did he come out?
Protecting Sun Simiao is just to cover up people's eyes and ears, and this is the one who really needs to be protected.If something goes wrong with him, the royal family will really cry.

But at this moment, he couldn't stand up directly, so he could only pray silently, but nothing happened.

When Chen Jingke came to the door, he saw more than ten monks blocking the door, confronting Cong Qi.The guards and arresters on the side also complained endlessly, they only dared to wait and see from a distance and dared not approach.

And there are more and more people watching, and soon the place is completely surrounded.Everyone was excitedly pointing, after all, this kind of thing is not common.

Standing in the very center is a monk in his fifties, wearing a monk's hat and cassock, who is clearly the leader.

"He is Falin." Yang Tianlu's words confirmed this guess.

Chen Jingke nodded and said: "Okay, you guys will fight for me later, and don't act without my order."

Yang Tianlu persuaded again: "How about we wait for the master?"

Cheng Huailiang and Qin Yandao also persuaded: "Yes, it seems that these monks are here to argue the law, and they have no intention of causing trouble, or we should wait for Master Sun to come."

Even Yuchi Xunyu and Cheng Chubi stopped talking, they are not really stupid.Fighting can be mindless, this is obviously not the time to fight, they really have no confidence in playing lip service.

Chen Jingke naturally wouldn't back down, but he didn't provoke rashly either. He took a deep breath and came to the door.

The people outside were even more excited when they saw someone coming out, and quickly looked at him.

When they saw that it was just a Taoist boy, they couldn't help showing disappointment, why the right master hasn't come yet.

Falin also showed doubts. It wasn't until a monk whispered a few words in his ear that he suddenly understood, and then looked Chen Jingke up and down.

Although he is not the rightful owner, this Chen Xiaozheng's reputation is not low, especially being recognized as a nephew by the empress has added a layer of status as a foreign relative, so they can't help but take a high look.

He couldn't help but be a little curious, what did this little Taoist boy come out for?Can you still prepare to defend the teacher?Although he often participates in debates on Buddhism and Taoism, he has no intention of bullying children.

Chen Jingke didn't know what the other party was thinking. Under the attention of everyone, he took a deep breath and came to the front, and said loudly: "Today is the day when I open Zixiao Temple. I don't know why the master came?"
