Wentang

Chapter 20 Longshou Mountain Man
As mentioned above, Li Yuan believes in the theory of gods and ghosts, and like his ancestors, he especially believed in Buddhism.Especially in his later years, he raised the status of Buddhism and reused Buddhists, and Fa Ya is the representative.

For a person who seeks posthumous fame and believes in ghosts and gods, the mysterious old way and those prophecies are simply nectar after a long drought.

No one thinks that the old Taoist is really a down and out Taoist who can't eat. His downfall is just pretending.Why did he suddenly appear in Longxi, in front of that young man?

Because he calculated that this young man would come to Chang'an, where he could meet the emperor's close ministers, and he would name this plow Wu Deli and dedicate it to the emperor.

Li Yuan thinks so, and many people think so too.

As for whether that boy was lying, whether Li Shimin was lying... No one would doubt it, even if they had doubts, they would not dare to say it.

Even Li Jiancheng, who hated it deeply, dared not say it.

Why?Because of that prophecy.

A saint from heaven, who is a saint?Apart from Li Yuan, no one dared to call himself a saint.The prosperous age has come, didn't the troubled times end in his hands?Doesn't the end of the troubled times mean that the prosperous times have come.

Moreover, Wu Deli's appearance in front of him also proved that he was the saint.

What is the Son of Heaven?The son of God, the status is respected.All the people of the immortal way will form a good relationship with him. Doesn't this prove that Li Yuan is the son of destiny.

Li Tang took the country from the Sui Dynasty, so it is inevitable that some people will make irresponsible remarks behind his back.But with the words of the old Taoist priest, Li Tang is orthodox, and winning the country is following the destiny.

So at this time, even if you know it's fake, you have to say it's true.What's more, it is not sure if it is true or false.

Li Yuan was even happier, and said on the spot: "Such a strange person wishes to be close to listen to his teaching...Pei Qing, I order you to find out the trace of the strange person, but if you get something, report it quickly and make sure there is no mistake."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Pei Ji stepped forward to accept the order solemnly.

"The people of the world have made great contributions to offering Wu Deli... Well, you are already the general of Tiance's mansion and the king of Qin, and you are not short of property. I can't think of how to reward you for a while." Li Yuan originally wanted to reward Li Shimin. But when the words came to his lips, he realized that there was no reward for this son.

Li Shimin immediately expressed his opinion: "This thing is a gift from a strange man to my father, presented by Yue Shan. It is just sent to my father through the hand of my son. How dare I say credit for it."

Li Yuan was very satisfied with his attitude, and said kindly: "It's rare for you to have such filial piety, and you should be rewarded. How about this, Li Zhi is three years old, right?"

Li Shimin vaguely guessed what he was going to do, and quickly replied: "Father has a good memory, Lizhi is indeed three years old."

"Then make her the Princess of Changle County." Li Yuan thought for a while and said.

"Thank you father." Li Shimin said happily without hiding his joy.

He likes Li Lizhi, the eldest daughter, from the bottom of his heart, as can be seen from the name Li Lizhi.At this time, his daughter was awarded the title of princess of Changle County, and he felt very happy from the bottom of his heart.

Li Yuan, who had been staring at him, felt relieved and was more satisfied with his son.Shimin is a child who values ​​family affection, he thought to himself.

The ministers don't have any special opinions. It is normal for Li Shimin's daughter to be a princess.It's just that Li Lizhi's award was a few years earlier, and there was no overstepping the rules.

Only Li Jiancheng's face turned darker.The sons of the three brothers were basically crowned kings, and some were even crowned kings in their infancy.

But no daughter has ever been named a princess, and Li Jiancheng's daughter is no exception.Li Lizhi was the first to receive this honor, no wonder he didn't feel uncomfortable.

And Li Lizhi also became the second person whose fate line was touched after Yueshan crossed.In history, she was not named the princess of Changle County by Li Shimin until the second year of Zhenguan, but now this time has been advanced by more than four years.

"How do you think the young man named Yue Shan should be rewarded?" Li Yuan asked again at this time.

"Your Majesty, Yue Shan is just a messenger, just reward him with some money." Feng Deyi glanced at Li Jiancheng cryptically, then turned his eyes and said.

"No." At this time, Pei Ju stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, after all, the treasures are presented by Yue Shan. If you just award some money, it may hurt his loyalty."

"Why did Pei Zhanshi say such a thing? It's easy to cause people to criticize because of small achievements and rewards." Feng Deyi retorted.

Pei Ju just glanced at him and didn't directly answer his question, but turned to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, the young Yue Shan is the only person who has had contact with the Taoist priest, and he also had a mentoring relationship with the Taoist priest. Although the Taoist priest It is said that the karma between the two has been broken, but who knows if there will be changes in the middle."

"Besides, the Taoist priest once said that he would give the young man a fortune and wealth. Who else in the world can give glory and wealth to others besides His Majesty?"

After finishing speaking, Pei Ju stopped talking and stepped aside.

There is no need for a heavy hammer to beat the drum, and Li Yuan immediately understood what he should do when he heard his words.Regardless of whether Dao Changcun exists or not, Yue Shan should be rewarded heavily.

"Pei Qing, what's your opinion?" Li Yuan didn't make a decision right away, but continued to ask.

"I listen to Your Majesty." Pei Ji replied.

"Well, Yueshan is from Longxi, but he has moved to the foot of Longshou Mountain in Chang'an. Then he will be granted the title of Longshou Mountain male, and three hundred households will be granted." Li Yuan said.

With Li Yuan's final decision, Yue Shan became a nobleman from a white man after traveling for half a month.Although he is only the lowest rank baron, he also belongs to the privileged class.

After the show ended, Li Jiancheng left with a gloomy expression.The other ministers walked together in twos and threes, discussing in a low voice what happened today.

As for the official who provoked Li Shimin, no one cared about him at this time.Although Li Yuan didn't punish him on the spot, I believe he will disappear in a short time.As for when, it depends on the mood of the emperor and King Qin.

Li Shimin smiled happily in front of everyone, but when he turned around, his face became gloomy.

Although he seems to have won a complete victory today, things have exceeded his expectations from the very beginning, forcing him to use ghosts and gods to smooth things over.He didn't like this feeling of not being in control.

His original plan was to attribute all the credit to Yue Shan, and only said that this young man had worshiped other people as his teacher since he was a child. Although he was young, he had outstanding talents.At that time, his cronies will come forward to help, which will not only please Li Yuan, but also give Yue Shan credit.

However, Prince Li Jiancheng's tricks caught him off guard.

Fortunately, he had a flash of inspiration and temporarily changed Qu Yuanli's name to Wu Deli, and he regained the disadvantage in one fell swoop.But in this way, Yueshan's role is too prominent.

The same thing, called Quyuanli and Wudeli, represent ten times and a hundred times different achievements.Yue Shan could not bear such a great achievement.

Among other things, Li Jiancheng would never let him go, and would definitely clean him up whenever he had the chance.

It can be said that Li Shimin at this time is still very interesting. He introduced the theory of ghosts and gods and attributed everything to the mysterious old way, successfully downplaying Yueshan's sense of existence.

No matter how much the prince hated Li Shimin, he wouldn't bother with a boy who delivered the letter.Even if you want to do it, you have to weigh the mysterious old way.With the covert protection of Prince Qin's Mansion in the future, Yueshan's safety will be guaranteed.

It can be said that in just a few quarters of an hour, Li Shimin's brain turned back and forth as if fighting a tough battle.In order to protect Yue Shan, a young man who only met once, he really spent a lot of effort.

But Yue Shan didn't know all this.Even if someone told him everything that happened today, he would not be able to discover the twists and turns and dangers in it.This is a matter of knowledge and experience.

"King Qin, please stay." Before he could walk out of the city gate, Li Shimin heard someone calling him from behind.

　I haven't finished my work yet, there is only one update today.Feel sorry.

　　Tell me why Li Yuan worships Lao Tzu as his ancestor but believes in Buddhism.

　　The Li family believed in Buddhism from their ancestors, and Li Yuan himself was brought up by his aunt, Queen Dugu, who both died of his parents when he was young.

　　Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu were devout Buddhists, and Li Yuan was also influenced by them to believe in Buddhism.

　　Later, worshiping Laozi as an ancestor was for political needs and had nothing to do with beliefs.

　　The older Li Jiancheng also believed in Buddhism under the influence of Li Yuan.Li Shimin was born in a Buddhist family but does not believe in Buddhism, so he seems to be more maverick.

　　One thing to mention, Changsun Wugou is also a Buddhist, but she is more sober and smarter, and can clearly distinguish the difference between belief and politics.So when Li Shimin suppressed Buddhism, he didn't stop it.
