Seeing this, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but smile and waved his hand lightly.
"Great monk, you have not practiced enough, and your six roots are impure. However, we are destined to meet each other, so I will give you a few Buddhist verses."
After saying that, he pulled Wu Zetian and turned around to leave, while Yun Qingyun chanted casually.
"The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. Always brush it diligently to prevent it from attracting dust——"
The foreign monk Naluo Ersuo only spoke a little bit of Chinese, but the other old monks were really eminent monks with superb Buddhist teachings in Chang'an City.
After hearing this, I just felt like a wake-up call and an enlightenment.
They couldn't help but look solemn, and bowed deeply to Wang Zi'an's back.
"I'm waiting, thank you donor for your advice——"
If it weren't for this young man, it would be obvious that he was not a member of the Buddhist sect, and they would all wish they could call themselves disciples.
Seeing the old monks react like this, the crowd around them couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
"Who was that young man just now? He was able to impress these eminent monks?"
Suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"I've met him before, and that person just now was the newly promoted Prince Wang Zi'an of the Founding County of Chang'an!"
Wang Zi’an?
"Brother Qian, although Wang Zi'an is very talented, I have never heard that he is proficient in Buddhism. Are you mistaken?"
Some familiar people couldn't help but exclaim.
The young man named Brother Qian couldn't help but puff up his chest when he heard that he was being questioned.
"Admit your mistake? Absolutely impossible! I met him at the poetry meeting at Kong Jijiu's house. What's more, in Chang'an City, there are very few people who can compete with this young master in talent and demeanor. This Prince An I can barely count as one, how can I, Lu Juncai, admit my mistake?"
Many people couldn't help but glance at his slightly bulging belly and ordinary pie face, and curled their lips.
Where is our face?
But this Lu Juncai, what he said just now is correct and should not be false.
The crowd couldn't help but make a louder noise.
Bo Zhangqian, the master of Honglu Temple who was accompanying the foreign monk, couldn't help but raise his head in surprise and looked at Wang Zi'an's back as he disappeared into the crowd.
Is this Wang Zi'an?
It certainly lives up to its reputation!
Master Xuanzang, who was standing outside, couldn't help but have brilliant eyes. He didn't even notice the questions from his beloved disciple Bianji.
"Namo Amitabha—this Prince An is indeed destined to be my Buddha, and he has great wisdom and roots of wisdom!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the speechless Bian Ji.
"Let's go back - after I go back, I will take a bath and change clothes, and practice in seclusion. Three days later, I will go to the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion and visit me to ask for help from the Dharma -"
Please help?
Listening to his master's words, Bian Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, and subconsciously looked back at the handsome young man just now.
There were two beautiful beauties beside him, one big and one small.
I'm afraid I heard it wrong?
Asking Buddhist teachings from such a young man who is greedy for beauty?
But at this time, Wang Zi'an held Wu Zetian's little hand, and Su Feier, who had a long sword on her back and a cold face, had already disappeared into the vast sea of people.
I couldn't help but feel at a loss.
…
Royal study room.
The little chamberlain, who had no idea that he had inadvertently revealed the truth about his majesty, walked away with an uneasy look on his face under the gazes of Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Changsun Wuji and others.
Ah, the expressions of His Majesty and some of the bosses today seem a little strange——
As soon as the young chamberlain left, the atmosphere in the study room suddenly became quiet.
Then, a few people laughed at each other as if nothing had happened. They were all calm and calm, as if the little waiter had never been here before.
Especially Changsun Wuji, who calmly took the initiative to expose this embarrassing topic.
"Your Majesty, the tribes that have surrendered in Mobei have been pacified according to your Majesty's arrangements. It's just that the Hu people have newly attached themselves, and their hearts are still undecided. Now the tribes of Dadushe, Tuoshe, Nishuteler and the seven surnames have not yet surrendered. The disaster was severe, and numerous cattle, sheep and other livestock were damaged, and the survival situation was difficult. Wei Chen thought that perhaps a helping hand could be provided to appease the people——"
After Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved.
However, he habitually glanced at the other two people, Wei Zheng and Tang Jian.
"My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"
Tang Jian pondered for a moment, cupped his fists and said.
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate——"
Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a sigh and nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue speaking.
Tang Jian smiled bitterly and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, we don't have much money left. The imperial court's expenditures have been quite large recently, and after spring, we will have to face the expenditures of building a city in Mobei——"
Having said this, Tang Jian spread his hands in shame.
"So, no money-"
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but curl his lips secretly.
I know that this old guy simply disagrees and is looking for excuses here. But he didn't worry, because he was familiar with His Majesty's thoughts and knew that His Majesty was really tempted by his suggestion.
"Wei Aiqing, what do you think-"
Wei Zheng thought about it for a moment and then raised his hands.
"I think this kind of thing should be done within one's ability. However, the Mobei strategy is basically arranged according to Zian's suggestion. Why don't we ask Zian what he wants?"
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes lit up.
"That's fine, I'm just thinking of going to his place to visit -"
Li Shimin immediately asked someone to bring several sets of regular clothes for Wei Zheng and others to change into. Now that Wang Zi'an's residence is in Chongrenfang, which is very close to the palace, there is no need to ask Li Junxian to drive.
He wandered directly out of the palace gate and looked at Wang Zi'an's mansion.
Looking at the advertising flags and banners flying everywhere outside, looking at the bustling and obviously lively streets, Li Shimin couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"The smell of the New Year outside is getting stronger and stronger——"
Several people were talking, but who knew that when they got halfway, they saw Wang Zi'an angrily attacking the great monk. Several people couldn't help but look at each other and didn't move forward. They simply found a teahouse and watched the fun from a high position.
Seeing that the song was over and everyone was gone, Wang Zi'an led two beauties, one large and one young, and left in a swaggering way. Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian and Changsun Wuji, who were hiding in the teahouse nearby and watching the excitement, couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
"Isn't that the eminent monk who came from Tianzhu just now to offer medicine?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.
It's unlucky for him that before he even got to see him, he was attacked by this brat Zian.
"Then the monk is really two hundred years old?"
Tang Jian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, showing a suspicious look.
"Who knows, but I think nine times out of ten he is a liar - Zian said that there is no magic medicine in this world, and there is no way to immortality. Don't forget what Zian said last time about the poisonous elixir. This has been verified—"
Wei Zheng did not hesitate and was justified.
Li Shimin said nothing, but he knew that Wei Zheng was taking the opportunity to enlighten him.
But that was a great eminent monk who came all the way from Tianzhu. Maybe he really had any special abilities?
Therefore, he smiled and did not pick up Wei Zheng's problem. Instead, he stood at the window and looked at Wang Zi'an's leaving figure, feeling a little puzzled.
"Isn't that brat a disciple of Taoism? Why is he still proficient in Buddhism?"
The few people watching the excitement just now didn't think of this, but when Li Shimin said it, they realized it.
yes!
Isn't this brat a Taoist?
How come you are so knowledgeable about Buddhism?
Tang Jian couldn't help but sigh.
"I really don't know what else Zian doesn't know-"
Listening to these two old guys praising Wang Zi'an one by one, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel blocked. But he didn't want to pour cold water on him. Didn't he look at His Majesty the Emperor's proud expression, as if he was praising his own son...
"Let's go, follow up and see -"
Several people threw down a few coins and filed away. He walked slowly towards Wang Zi'an's house while looking at the scenery on the road.
When I was about to reach the gate of Wang Zi'an's residence, I saw the young porter of Wang Zi'an's family, leading a few servants and dragging a cart, rushing over from the other side with a face full of joy.
"Hey - Shopkeeper Li, you're here again, hurry up, please come inside -"
Wang Meng, who happened to be bragging among some old friends around him, looked up and said, "Oh, isn't this the father-in-law of his Marquis?"
The smile on his face suddenly became brighter. He left behind a few servants pulling the cart and rushed towards him.
Looking at Wang Meng and the others, who were sweating in the winter, with some dirt still hanging on their bodies that they had not had time to clean up, Li Shimin couldn't help being curious and rude at the same time, so he subconsciously asked casually.
When Li Shimin asked about this, Wang Meng immediately became energetic.
"I'm doing latte art——"
Wang Meng waved his arms excitedly as he spoke.
"I don't know what kind of madness those dignitaries are so crazy that they pulled out all the flowers in their own homes and threw them all over the street——"
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Changsun Wuji:...
Wang Meng spoke enthusiastically and continued without noticing the embarrassment on the faces of Li Shimin and others.
"When our Lord Marquis took a look at it, he said that these wasteful things can't be lived like this. We have to be diligent and frugal in running the house and refrain from extravagance and frugality - so he asked everyone in our house to collect them from house to house and send them to the east. Went to the farm——"
Having said this, Wang Meng's eyebrows were filled with excitement.
"You don't know, even the flowers in the houses of the Prince of the East Palace and several prime ministers were pulled out - they said they were going to plant some crops. You think, they are so good-looking, aren't they sick?"
Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but look bad.
Without saying anything, he flicked his sleeves and strode through the door.
Now the disciples of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion had already received Wang Zi'an's orders. When they saw Li Shimin and others, they did not stop them or inform them. They just greeted them warmly and let them in.
Familiar doors, familiar roads, frequent transfers.
When they got inside, they grabbed a servant and asked, knowing that Wang Zi'an was in the back garden at the moment, they couldn't help but look at each other and went to the back garden with dark faces.
This bitch is not a son of a man!
It caused everyone to dig up their own back gardens. After he arrived, he not only went around picking up bargains, but also decorated his own gardens at home. It was really too much!
The flowers and plants that Li Shimin had sent had just been unloaded.
At this time, Wang Zian was really pleased to see Manager Liao directing his hands to plant flowers. When I think about the coming spring and the flowers blooming in my back garden, I can't help but curl up the corners of my mouth.
Lao Li, the dog emperor, although he is a bit thick-skinned, he is really a good person.
I have to treat him to a drink later!
Just as I was thinking here, I saw Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and others appearing at the door of the garden.
"Hey, Lao Li, I was just thinking about having a drink with you. Thank you for these flowers. You're right here - I heard from Manager Liao that these flowers are rare treasures. Many rich people buy them. The kind that can’t be found…”
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he patted Li Shimin's shoulder movedly.
"As expected, you are kissing my father-in-law. You really don't have anything to say to me - don't say anything. Let us take care of ourselves later -"
Li Shimin almost choked out a mouthful of blood when he heard this.
However, before he could speak, he saw Wang Zi'an enthusiastically reaching out to Wei Zheng, Tang Jian and others.
"Old Wei, Old Tang, long time no see. How are you?"
As he said that, he winked at the two of them with an ambiguous look on his face and patted their waists.
"Look at how you two look. You've been eating a lot of venison recently. How are you doing? How's the effect?"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but blush slightly when he heard this. He swallowed the words he just wanted to spit out this shit and coughed slightly in embarrassment.
"Ahem, I don't understand what you are saying--"
Tang Jian, on the other hand, couldn't help laughing and straightened his back somewhat proudly.
"Zian is amazing - I recently had a second concubine who is pregnant -"
As he spoke, he patted Wang Zi'an on the shoulder affectionately.
"Don't forget to have a wedding drink then——"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help laughing.
Among these people, he likes Old Tang. Although this old guy is older, he is humorous and can pick up on anything. He is shameless and can compete with some of his sleazy roommates.
After chatting with Wei Zheng and Tang Jian, he felt as if he had just discovered Changsun Wuji. He bowed his hand rather perfunctorily.
"Steward Zhangsun is here too - look at your complexion, what's wrong? Are you angry with someone?"
As he spoke, he did not forget to offer some comfort.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. You know, all diseases start from anger. Being angry often can shorten your life -"
Changsun Wuji:...
Although I know you are telling the truth, I am just so angry and want to beat you up, what should I do?
Invite a few people to sit down.
He casually gave an order to the servant next to him, and after a while, several maids came over with trays and handed a cup of tea to each of them.
"Haha - don't tell me, I'm used to drinking boiled water..."
Before Li Shimin finished speaking, he couldn't help but pause, and opened the lid of the tea cup in surprise.
"Hey - it's not boiled water today - but it doesn't look like tea, but looks like chrysanthemums..."
Wang Zi'an smiled and nodded.
"It's okay, I have a good eye - it is indeed chrysanthemum, to be precise, it is chrysanthemum tea, which I just developed recently -"
He said it quite considerately.
"I saw that when you came in, all of you looked bad, as if you were angry with someone - so I asked my servants to make you a cup. This stuff can dispel wind and heat, clear the liver and improve eyesight. Detoxification--"
After Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he came over to gossip.
"You said, you are so old, what else can't you think about? Why are you angry - if you have something you can't think about, why don't you tell me and let me enlighten you - ahem, let me enlighten you. you--"
Several people were holding chrysanthemum tea in their hands, and suddenly they wanted to slap this dog on the head.
If it weren't for you, how could we have caused such a big mistake!
The point is, we can’t say this yet—
Li Shimin and others were sulking there when they saw a fat man with a shiny face trotting over and stood there, nodding and bowing to report.
"Master Qi, the things you asked for have arrived and have been placed in the kitchen. The senior management would like to ask for instructions on whether to deal with it now or later..."
PS: Ah, I can’t make up for it today - postponed, postponed...
