"Your Majesty, let me ask you... do you want kingship or beauty?"
Li Shimin's hands started to tremble. He drank a cup of tea and then asked seriously.
"I tell my father, my son and I... want them all!"
"Asshole!"
Li Shimin was so angry that he smashed the tea cup, "Do you know who Wu Meiniang is?"
"She is my beloved concubine, and you, as a prince, actually want to steal a woman from me! Do you believe that I will depose you as prince now?"
After hearing this, Li Zhi raised his head in confusion, "Father, have you remembered wrongly? My son is not the prince now!"
"you……"
Li Shimin was speechless and immediately became angry from shame.
"That witch Wu Meiniang dared to seduce my prince and confuse the East Palace. It is truly an unforgivable crime!"
"According to my decree, Wu Meiniang will be demoted to Ganye Temple, her hair will be cut off and she will become a nun, and she will never be allowed to return to the palace again!"
"As for Li Zhi... reflect on it! If you dare to secretly go to Ganye Temple to have a private meeting with her, I will break your legs!"
For a time, Li Shimin vented all his anger on Wu Meiniang.
Even though Li Zhi was extremely reluctant, looking at his cannibalistic eyes, he finally gave in.
Wu Meiniang!
Tang Sanzang, who was eating melon, was no stranger to this woman.
When she was young, she was so charming that she fascinated Li Shimin and his son. In her later years, she boasted that she was destined to follow heaven and became the first female empress in the world.
There have been countless beauties throughout the dynasties who have caused disasters, and at most they have brought down the country and the city, but she is the only one who has managed to rule the world.
If nothing else happens, Li Shimin may be wearing this cuckold!
Thinking that Wu Meiniang would transform into Wu Zetian and become the most powerful emperor in the future, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but look forward to the future layout of the Tang Dynasty...
But these are the household affairs of the Li family, and there is no need for me, a monk, to get involved.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late now, so I'll take my leave first."
With this thought, Tang Sanzang immediately resigned.
"It's hard for the emperor to deal with household chores, so I just made my younger brother laugh!"
Li Shimin glared at Li Zhi and said apologetically.
Tang Sanzang nodded, then thanked and left.
But as soon as he left, a divine chariot drawn by nine celestial horses appeared silently in the sky above Chang'an City under the sunset glow.
At this time, it was getting late.
The sky was dotted with stars, and countless gods and Buddhas were watching the empire that had changed its destiny against heaven, but no one noticed the arrival of this divine chariot.
The breeze blew open the door curtain, and a stunning woman slowly walked out of the car.
She was wearing a blood-red robe, and her long hair was flowing in the wind.
She looked down at all the living beings in Chang'an City, her face as cold and arrogant as frost.
She just stood there, the whole world rising and falling with her thoughts, sometimes becoming clear and sometimes blurry and distorted.
"Tang Sanzang, you are finally ready to go west!"
Looking at Tang Sanzang's back as he walked into Huasheng Temple, the woman smiled. The daunting coldness was like ice and snow melting in the warm spring.
In the Daming Palace, Xuanyuan Sword seemed to sense some familiar aura, and it erupted with a sword sound inexplicably, shining with divine glory.
"My friend, for the sake of your old friend in the mortal world, have you finally decided to give up and live in seclusion and chase the world?"
Feeling the changes in Xuanyuan Sword, Li Shimin looked at the sky where the divine chariot was staying.
But the divine chariot is hidden in the sky and the earth, so that at a glance, the sky is empty.
"Father, who is 'that friend' you are talking about?"
Li Zhi on the side asked in confusion. The two people who were originally tit for tat suddenly became fatherly and filial again.
"She used to be the whole world, but now she is just a poor person lost in the mortal world and sinking into the sea of misery!"
This stunning woman is the old friend Li Shimin mentioned to Tang Sanzang just now.
And she was also the third patron of Tang Sanzang, besides the Tang Dynasty in the East and Buddhism in the West.
It was precisely because of her that Tang Sanzang awakened from the practice of his previous life five hundred years in advance and became a Buddha in the physical body.
At the same time, she borrowed the hand of Tang Sanzang to deliver the Xuanyuan Sword to Li Shimin, which gave the Tang Empire an opportunity to change its destiny...
"Father, can you discuss the matter about Mei Niang again?"
Just as Li Shimin was thinking, Li Zhi said cautiously.
"You want to take her as your concubine, unless I die!"
"..."
what happened?
Tang Sanzang, who had just arrived at Huasheng Temple, suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
He vaguely felt that there was a melancholy gaze watching him secretly.
He could feel the other person's mood swings, and a similarly melancholy feeling of longing arose from nowhere.
"the other side……"
Tang Sanzang looked at the night sky, and a name that had long been dead in his memory blurted out subconsciously.
"Holy Monk, what's wrong with you?"
The young novice who was accompanying him saw something was wrong with him and asked in surprise.
"No... nothing, just a sudden feeling of homesickness."
Looking at the empty sky, Tang Sanzang laughed to himself, and then went to the Zen room where he was staying...
"Empress, you have been waiting for Tang Sanzang under the bodhi tree for five hundred years. Now that you have come to Chang'an, why don't you come down to earth to meet him?"
In the sky, a purple-clothed fairy serving on the left and right of the divine chariot was a little puzzled.
"I've seen you, so what? It's just a breeze disturbing an old dream."
The woman sighed, "Since he has decided to go west, I will wait for him on the way to the west."
"In this life...he will never escape my grasp again!"
"Let's go. Now that the sky has fallen, if I don't go back, those demon emperors who are unwilling to accept their fate may be ready to take action again."
With these words behind her, the woman returned to the car.
The nine celestial horses pulled the divine chariot in the glow of the glow, and then disappeared into the western sky...
At the same time, Tang Sanzang tossed and turned and could not fall asleep for a long time.
the other side……
For some reason, this long-lost name reappeared in his mind and he couldn't get it out of his mind.
Tang Sanzang still remembered that before he traveled through time, there was a girl named Bian who suddenly broke into his life.
She has long hair and likes red clothes.
She looked coldly on everyone around her, but she was as gentle as water to herself.
Later, she suddenly disappeared into the sea of people, and she inexplicably traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and the memory of this past was also dusted.
But this night, her past suddenly resurfaced, catching herself off guard.
This feeling confused Tang Sanzang.
After coming to this world, although he had never recited sutras or participated in Zen, at heart he was still a secular person who responded tooth for tooth and blood for blood.
But under the influence of the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, he also had some Buddha nature.
He thought he had taken the past events lightly, but for some reason, memories of the past suddenly came back to him.
"Could it be that too many things happened today that made me start to think wildly?"
Tang Sanzang thought so.
But as I tossed and turned, the sky in the east began to turn fish-belly white.
Its daybreak.
This also means that the road to the west is about to officially begin!
