Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 92

During this period of time, Li Shimin was actually very free.

Perhaps for a normal ordinary person, it is a good thing to be idle.But to Li Shimin, this was already an obvious signal that that position was getting farther and farther away from him.Li Xuandao just took a few papers and looked through them every day, even if he finished his official duties for a day, the rest of the time was mostly used for some official things for Professor Luo Yan.

If this was placed in the past few years, when some things were not very clear, Li Xuandao would be busy all day without touching the ground.How can it be like now.When Li Xuandao talked to Luo Yan, he also had a sad expression on his face.Those of them who work as aides have finally met a master they like, but now their hopes are getting smaller and smaller, can they not worry about it?

The clarity of the situation has to start with what Yang Wengan did a few years ago.

As a confidant of Prince Li Jiancheng, Yang Wenqian privately recruited strong men for the East Palace when he was the governor of Gyeongju.To put it bluntly, it is to raise a few subordinates for Li Jiancheng.

Whether it is the prince or Li Shimin, in fact, there is a certain quota of personal guards according to the system.Perhaps Li Jiancheng felt that Li Shimin had many generals under his command, and it would be very difficult to fight if he didn't get more people, so he ordered his subordinates to raise private soldiers.The so-called private soldiers naturally exceeded the number of personal guards.

It just so happened that although Yang Wengan was a governor, he did not have the right to raise soldiers.After being denounced, he was immediately turned back.Although there is no direct evidence to show that there is any relationship with Li Jiancheng, it is enough to be suspicious of this kind of thing.Prince Li Jiancheng was placed under house arrest.

Li Shimin originally thought that hope had come.In the end, there was still nothing to rejoice about. Li Jiancheng begged and pleaded guilty, and Li Yuan immediately released him.

As soon as this incident came out, the wind in the court suddenly changed drastically.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Li Jiancheng's position as the crown prince is secure and there is no possibility of further changes.

No, Qin Wang's mansion slowly began to be deserted.

However, with the support of a group of counselors under his command and the support of many generals, Li Shimin did not give up continuing with Li Jiancheng.After all, if a Yang Wengan can be produced, will another Li Wengan be produced.Li Shimin also had to use luck to compete with Li Jiancheng.At this time, all the talents under him were there, and he hadn't been forced to the last step.

Luo Yan will not pay more attention to Li Shimin's situation. What is more important now is to learn from Li Xuandao.These days Luo Yan has been adhering to the principle of saying less and seeing more, keeping Li Xuandao's words and deeds in his mind, and then going back to think about it slowly.If there is something I don't understand, I will ask Lu Deming for advice.

In this way, Luo Yan has a deep understanding of Chang'an's officialdom, and at the same time has a relatively deep understanding of some officialdom rules.At this moment, the previous fear of officialdom no longer exists.

The time soon came to the first month of the second year.In Luo Yan's mind, this extremely extraordinary year, the ninth year of Wude.

Because there are not many official duties in the Qin Palace, Luo Yan has grown a lot in the past few months, and with Li Xuandao's support, most of the documents in the Qin Palace are basically left to Luo Yan to handle.This direct contact with the official affairs of Prince Qin's Mansion has also made Luo Yan a great improvement.

In the first month of the lunar year, Fu Yi finally gave up on Li Yuan.Although Fu Yi only targeted Buddhism at the beginning, who knew that things would become more and more troublesome later on, even Taoism was involved.No matter how much noise there was in the hall, it had nothing to do with Luo Yan anyway, just mentioning this matter, Luo Yan suddenly remembered that in the past four months, it was originally agreed to visit a few little Taoist priests at Qingping Temple, but he had actually forgotten.

After telling Li Xuandao for leave, Luo Yan bought a few sets of quilts and leather clothes stuffed with kapok according to the figure of several people in his impression, and brought some snacks that children like.Only then did he hire a carriage and rush to Qingping Temple.

After all, it was the beginning of spring, so few people came to Qingping Temple, and there was thick snow on both sides of the mountain road.Although the road on the mountain was swept away, a thin layer of snow was blown up on the road, indicating that there were no pilgrims going up the mountain to pay homage.

Calling the coachman to help, Luo Yan only brought some things up the mountain.For the rest, I can only see the two brothers Xu Zhi and let them move up together.

Fortunately, there are steps on the mountain road, otherwise, if you are not careful at this time, you will really fall down on the mountain.Even so, Luo Yan and the driver climbed up cautiously. When they reached the gate of Qingping Temple, Luo Yan felt that a long time had passed.After taking a breath, he knocked on the door of Qingping Temple.

"The master of Xuzhi is here. I am Luo Yan, come to pay a visit." Although his throat was a bit uncomfortable from the cold wind, Luo Yan still shouted loudly.Who knows if these people are in the house, if they don't shout loudly, just that stingy voice, although the mountain is quiet, it may not be able to be heard by others.

This is especially evident in Luo Yan's memory.He has stayed here for three years, and this kind of thing has happened more than once.

Fortunately, Luo Yan was lucky, just after shouting a few times, a little Taoist priest came and opened the door.Seeing Luo Yan, the little Taoist priest burst into joy on his frozen red face: "Brother Luo Yan, it's you." Immediately taking the things from Luo Yan's hand, he took Luo Yan and the coachman to the temple.

Because the Taoist temple was too small, there were only a few guest rooms, and it was cold, so the little Taoist priest took them directly to Xuzhi's place.The masters and apprentices are here to burn firewood to keep warm, and because of the ignorance of the pilgrims, they can still show some stance of the pilgrims when dealing with pilgrims.On weekdays, there is not much difference between Xu Ji and a few disciples.

Seeing Luo Yan, whether it was Xuzhi Xuji or a few little Taoist priests, they were all very excited.After Luo Yan entered the room, several people stood up and looked at Luo Yan.

There was no exchange of greetings, there were still many things that had not been brought up from the bottom of the mountain, and the coachman rushed back.If the animal is left outside without exercise, it will freeze to death, not to mention that it is a very expensive horse.

Immediately, I called Brother Shang Xuzhi, and several young Taoist priests followed excitedly. The group went down the mountain and began to carry things. Originally, everyone had to carry things, but because of the addition of a few young Taoist priests, each person can handle one by one.After making an appointment with the coachman on the time to go back, Luo Yan went up the mountain.

At that time, the driver will naturally drive the carriage over to wait for Luo Yan.Basically, there is no need to worry about the driver's dishonesty. In this business, credit is the biggest word of mouth.What's more, Luo Yan gave a lot of money.Counting the original [-] Wen, Luo Yan gave an extra [-] Wen as a tip, which made the coachman grateful for a while.

Back on the mountain, Luo Yan distributed the prepared snacks to a few young Taoist priests, and started chatting with the two Xu Zhi brothers.

Because the controversy about Buddhism and Taoism is getting bigger and bigger these days, and there are many rumors among the people, Xu Zhi also knows that the next life will be more difficult, so as soon as he sat down right now, he started to ask Luo Yan: "Does the layman know about the recent elimination of Buddhism and Taoism?" It is related to the lives of several people in the future, and Xu Zhi also has to ask.

Regarding this matter, Luo Yan knew the result long ago, so he could only answer truthfully: "I knew about this matter, and I came here today for this matter."

At this moment, even a few little Taoist priests joined Luo Yan and Xu Zhi, wanting to hear what Luo Yan had to say.After all, Luo Yan is the only person who can find a person in contact with the officialdom at this moment. Although I don't know if Luo Yan understands the articles in it, it is always good to ask something.

"Although the civil and military leaders of the Manchu Dynasty do not agree with Fu Taishiling's memorabilia," Luo Yan said at this point, the Taoist priests obviously breathed a sigh of relief, so they couldn't bear to interrupt their good mood, but the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain, I can only continue to say: "But in my opinion, I am afraid that today's saints will finally agree to this memorial."

Luo Yan's answer gave several people a heavy blow. Xu Ji was impatient, so he immediately asked: "What are you asking? Didn't you say that most civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty opposed this matter?"

"Manchu civil and military opposition does not mean that the sage will follow suit. On the contrary, the longer this kind of matter is discussed, the more it shows that the sage is inclined to Fu Taishiling. Otherwise, just veto it directly. Why let everyone shout so much Many days." Luo Yan explained.

"You also know that not to mention other state capitals, but in Chang'an, how many large and small temples and Taoist temples have popped up around here in the past few years? Moreover, people from outside the area do not have to pay taxes. Donating land as an excuse to evade taxes makes it more difficult to collect taxes. The sages understand these problems very clearly, so in the end, they can only be ruthless." Luo Yan told these few reasons he could think of.Xu Zhi immediately showed a look of disappointment, and Xu Ji was even crazily talking about the impossibility.

But Luo Yan didn't come here this time just to bring bad news to these few people.

"In any case, when the time comes to weed out Buddhism, we will always examine your practice. I'm not worried about the Taoism of Master Xuzhi. I'm also very relieved even for these boys. In the past three years, we have taught them together. The few of them are absolutely outstanding among their peers. It’s just that Daoist Master Xuji is a bit hard to say, so I can only practice hard while there is no final conclusion. The Lord's things, at that time, will surely come in handy." Luo Yan said to Xu Zhi.

"In this way, it must be much easier for me to be prepared." Xu Zhi knew that what Luo Yan said was probably the final result, and it could only be so.Then he turned his head and said to Xuji: "Anyway, there is nothing to do during the meditation these days. I will practice hard behind closed doors, and prepare before the results come out. Junior brother, leave the general affairs of the meditation to me in the future. Let's deal with it, you will be able to practice with a few little guys."

Xu Ji nodded yes.

In this way, even if a few people had an idea, although they were still a little flustered, they still had a chance to prepare, so they stopped mentioning these things and chatted with Luo Yan about other things.
