Journey to the West: I want to be sanctified

Chapter 345 Tang Dynasty National Day
Tai Chi Hall, above the court hall.

The first year of Zhenguan is coming to the last day.

Taizong Li Shimin wanted to celebrate at the end of the year to show that he was different.

At this moment, I am discussing with the officials about the celebration.

"Before the first year of Zhenguan, the national power was not very stable. So far, the four parties have made a decision, and the highest standard of etiquette is used to make a special deal!" Li Shimin was full of pride, and set the standard for the ministers.

All the officials offered advice one after another, this was a great joy, and there was rare harmony and excitement in the court.

Most of the proposals were readily approved by Li Shimin, with a smile on his face all the time.

However, the officials noticed a special phenomenon: Taizong would stop and look in the direction of the national teacher Yuan Shoucheng from time to time, his eyes were meaningful, as if he was expecting something, but he didn't say anything, as if he was about to refuse.

Yuan Shoucheng was stared at like a thorn, thinking that he should also participate, so he made a few suggestions, which were all readily accepted by Li Shimin.

The officials also noticed a special phenomenon: Taizong was full of expectations before Yuan Shoucheng opened his mouth, but after he spoke, he felt disappointed, but after a while he looked at Yuan Shoucheng with expectant eyes, and then lost, and then looked forward to it, and it started again and again.

"Old Yuan, you don't want to occupy His Majesty's body and mind and be irresponsible to him, right? Why does he look at you like an angry little daughter-in-law?" Wei Zheng on the side lowered his head and secretly teased Yuan Shoucheng.

While Li Shimin was looking away, Yuan Shoucheng kicked Wei Zheng fiercely in the dark: "You bitch! Don't you know the reason? You're going to kill me too!"

Yuan Shoucheng and Wei Zheng were both Taizong's beloved ministers, they had worked together for a long time, and they had already become pretty good friends, and they often made ugly jokes about each other in private.

Especially Wei Zheng, because he was afraid of Yuan Shoucheng's cultivation, he was able to restrain himself from talking too much. Since he was appointed Cao Guan by the Heavenly Court, he has completely let himself go and has no worries.

Miraculously, this brought their relationship closer.

"Does your suzerain still disagree?" Wei Zheng spoke seriously after being kicked.

"Oh, you don't know that my master won't even let me see..." Yuan Shoucheng muttered with bitterness on his face.

Taizong Li Shimin found that Yuan Shoucheng didn't even raise his head, and he couldn't see him even if he gave him a look.

The proposals and plans for the National Day Celebration were almost fully booked, and Li Shimin cast his eyes on Yuan Shoucheng for the last time.

It seemed that he couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "National Teacher, don't you have anything to add?"

What should come has come, Yuan Shoucheng knelt down with a thud, and said loudly, "Your Majesty understands righteousness deeply, this plan is perfect so far, there is nothing to add."

If you don't tell me directly, I'll just pretend not to know that Yuan Shoucheng can hold on for a second.

"I heard that the suzerain of the noble sect has left customs, and Taoism, as the state religion, should be present." Although Li Shimin said this on the surface, he was neither humble nor arrogant, but his heart was already as low as dust.

A year ago at the beginning of Zhenguan, all factions from all over the world came to the court to congratulate, but Zhou Yin, the suzerain of Taixuanzong, did not come.

The other elders of the sect said that the cultivation in closed doors should not be interrupted, but all kinds of information showed that he had never practiced in closed doors, and he always came and went freely.

Just looking for an excuse not to come.

As the king of a country, although he is unhappy in his heart, he still has to maintain an imperial demeanor on the surface. I don't care if you don't come.

If it were any other force, throwing down his face like this would have already made him unable to stay in his little shoes.

However, the various miraculous powers and calculation methods of the national teacher are not fragrant?
Isn't Taixuanzong, who wins over earth immortals as many as dogs and heavenly immortals walk in groups, not fragrant?

I vaguely remember the shocked, hot, longing eyes of those foreigners who looked at the elders of Taixuanzong at the grand ceremony of the first generation.

One of the main reasons for the surge in the population of the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Zhenguan was the influx of Taoist cultivators from foreign countries into Taixuanzong!
Therefore, Li Shimin is now in an awkward state of mind. He is in awe of Zhou Yin but can't bear to chase him over.

It doesn't matter if you see him or not, but if this kind of national ceremony doesn't come again, where will his face be put?

"Return to Your Majesty, suzerain, he started retreating again yesterday. It can be as short as a few months, or as long as a few years. Let me take him to congratulate you on the National Day." Yuan Shoucheng knelt down almost to the ground, gritted his teeth and said that he was afraid Do not believe it.

A few days ago, Taizong hinted at him in various ways to invite the suzerain to attend the grand ceremony, but as soon as he mentioned this, he was kicked out by his master Peach Blossom Fairy using last year's rhetoric, and he couldn't even meet Zhou Yin.

Being pressured by Li Shimin and seeing no one at the same time, Yuan Shoucheng felt bitter.

After hearing Yuan Shoucheng's reply, Li Shimin was almost out of breath!
Same reason, once a year?
"Disperse!"

Li Shimin explained and left the table suddenly.

Hurry up, or you won't be able to hold your face, how can the king of my country bother with such a trivial matter, he whispered to himself and quickly moved to the study room.

The eunuch accompanying him immediately understood what was going on.

He lowered his head and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you want to call him over?"

Li Shimin was awkward, and pretended to say "um" casually.

As soon as the eunuch left, he was stopped by Li Shimin: "This time I won't be called Yuan Shoucheng, but Wei Zheng."

……

Taking advantage of Yuan Shoucheng, he left the court early.

All the officials walked down the hall refreshed, carefully guessing how much Taizong was angered by Taixuanzong.

Some things don't need to be said clearly, these veterans in the officialdom are as bright as a mirror.

"Do you think you can invite the suzerain of Taixuanzong this year?"

"I don't know, but I really want to meet this expert."

"What is there to see in an old man?"

"You are ignorant and ignorant, it is said that his appearance is as young as the Peach Blossom Fairy who came last year!"

"What are you talking about?" Yuan Shoucheng immediately became alert when he heard someone in the crowd say Peach Blossom Fairy, and walked closer.

"I said that your master Peach Blossom Fairy is young, beautiful, and talented. We will see you on the National Day soon, and everyone is happy." Wei Zheng who was on the side replied first, and laughed a few times when he was done.

Yuan Shoucheng punched the past with his fist: "Let your words be frivolous, master!"

"You are unreasonable, do you want to deny Peach Blossom Fairy's beauty?" Wei Zheng ran to avoid his fist.

Recalling his master's expression of enjoyment every time he was praised for his beauty, Yuan Shoucheng was quite helpless, but his fists didn't stop: "It's you who laughed!"

"It's difficult for you to be strong, and my smile is not bad."

The two chased after each other and punched and kicked, but the other officials didn't respond at all. Everyone was used to it.

Wei Zheng who was beaten was not forgiving: "Believe it or not, Eunuch Gao will come over and tell you to go to the imperial study, you should think about how to deal with His Majesty."

Seeing him gloating, Yuan Shoucheng fought more happily. Either Wei Zheng was so hateful, or he felt uncomfortable when he thought of being caught between Li Shimin and Zhou Yin, and urgently needed to vent.

Not far away, Eunuch Gao appeared.

Yuan Shoucheng stopped unconsciously, began to straighten his clothes, and prepared to face the saint. This was the sixth time that Emperor Taizong had talked to him recently!

The fear of being dominated by Taizong deeply enveloped Yuan Shoucheng.

"Hahaha, you just keep hitting me!" Wei Zheng laughed wildly, looking like a villain.

"Eunuch Gao." Yuan Shoucheng ignored Wei Zheng's joke and walked directly to Eunuch Gao.

But Eunuch Gao just responded, without stopping, without squinting, he walked straight past Yuan Shoucheng.

"Hey, Eunuch Gao, aren't you..." Yuan Shoucheng looked at Eunuch Gao's back in confusion, and greeted him lonely.

I saw him stop in front of Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng in the distance saw Eunuch Gao pass Yuan Shoucheng and approach him step by step, the smile on his face gradually froze.

"Wei Zheng, Your Majesty's Imperial Study is welcome!"

Eunuch Gao's quiet voice shook both Wei Zheng and Yuan Shoucheng's ears.

Afterwards, Yuan Shoucheng looked up to the sky and smiled!
