I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Neither the aristocratic family nor the humble family wanted to give up this opportunity.

Those scholars in the Hanlin Academy became pawns in the battle.

Everyone wants to eat more, and everyone wants the other to eat less. In this matter, they are still very cautious, although they often quarrel with each other.

But he didn't say a single swear word, and he didn't scold a single swear word.

Even seeing that a fight was about to start, Li Shimin was full of anticipation and prepared to get angry. This group of people can really restrain themselves, that is, they can keep their faces together while talking about what they think is the truth, and they can guarantee not to fight .

There is no way to give Li Shimin a reason to get angry.

I can only listen to them arguing.

He had just returned to his bedroom, ready to lie down for a while and rest.

General Baiqisi walked in, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, there is a monk from the Zhengyang public restaurant, ready to join Fengchao."

Li Shimin waved his hands without opening his eyes.

Is this news also worth reporting to yourself?
Although...it is indeed a very unusual thing for my son-in-law who has never liked any sect to recruit a monk, but this is not the first time.

Doesn't he still have a monk named Qinglong Temple abbot who is actually a killer under his command?

The general of Baiqisi continued: "The monk's name is Master Xuanzang. He left Chang'an in the second year of Zhenguan, and then traveled to various countries in the Western Regions, and visited Tianzhu. Now he is returning home."

Li Shimin opened his eyes, a little surprised.

That means traveling abroad for more than ten years?
If his travels and knowledge can be compiled into a book, it will be a great help for Datang to recover the Western Regions in the future—yes, it is recovery.

The Western Regions became part of China's territory in the Han Dynasty, but...for some reason, it does not belong to the Tang Dynasty now, so it is not a matter of course to regain the territory lost by the unsatisfied ancestors?

Although the Anxi Protectorate is established now, can the Protectorate be called actual rule?

The land farther away is still waiting for Datang in the future.

Baiqisi went on to say: "The master Xuanzang compiled a book "The Great Tang Western Regions", which recorded the customs, customs and geological environment of the countries in the Western Regions."

"And... under the arrangement of Lord Zhengyang, Master Xuanzang is planning to compile his remaining knowledge in the Western Regions and Tianzhu into a book."

Li Shimin sat up immediately.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao wrote a book.

There really is a book called "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

"Hurry up, invite Master Xuanzang here..." Li Shimin's voice was a little hurried, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, "How did Lord Zhengyang arrange him?"

The general of Baiqisi nodded and said: "I don't know the details, but Baiqisi has heard a general idea, and it is probably planning to arrange for Master Xuanzang to study geology with His Royal Highness King Wei after death, and then go to Fengchao to work. "

After speaking, he paused for a moment and emphasized his tone: "Duke Zhengyang also specially emphasized that Master Xuanzang is only allowed to study behind His Royal Highness King Wei, but he is not allowed to preach the scriptures on his own initiative."

Li Shimin's over-stimulated brain immediately calmed down. He raised his hand and pulled his beard, pulling off three or five gray hairs.

No matter how good Master Xuanzang's book is, he is a monk after all.

The royal family should naturally not get involved with these people as much as possible.

"The store's move is very clever." Li Shimin exhaled.

In particular, the practice of "sending Li Tai to study behind him, and not preparing Master Xuanzang to preach the scriptures" made Li Shimin most satisfied.

"Prepare the car and go to the restaurant." Li Shimin thought for a while, then rubbed his belly.

hungry.

I am too tired today, I have to eat some delicious food to compensate myself.

Just take a look at the situation.

The general of Baiqisi withdrew and prepared his chariot for Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin arrived at the Tongfu restaurant, it was almost time for dinner, and the number of customers in the restaurant gradually increased. They were just discussing magazines and hadn't started ordering.

Yin Xuan and Xuan Zang were still chatting, talking about some things recorded in the Great Tang Dynasty Records of the Western Regions.

Master Xuanzang actually had some doubts in his heart.

The things Yin Xuan asked, speaking of it...not important at all, it can be seen that they all asked out of curiosity.

It's not that Master Xuanzang doesn't like Duke Zhengyang asking such a question.

But at this time, shouldn't he settle himself down, or inform the court?

Asking these things, is it a little too evasive and light.

Master Xuanzang was explaining some customs of the Dotulu Kingdom, when Yin Xuan suddenly raised his head and waved towards the door: "Old man, are you here?"

Listening to the tone, as if waiting for him.

Master Xuanzang was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly turned around.

Husband?

Duke Zhengyang's husband?

He stood up in a panic, ready to bow to the person behind him, his brain was running fast, who in Datang could have the qualifications to be the father-in-law of such a powerful person?
Duke?Prince?Even... Your Majesty?
But after he saluted and raised his head to see the face of the visitor clearly, all the speculations in his heart became false.

His appearance was somewhat similar to the little old man who snatched the most food at lunch.

The clothes on his body...are also very simple, no different from those scholars, and he doesn't wear anything that can show his identity.

Jade, pendant, jewelry?
None of these can be seen in this person.

"So warm to me today?" Li Shimin was a little surprised, when he could have this kind of treatment, he was greeted by Yin Xuan as soon as he entered the door.

Yin Xuan beckoned Li Shimin to sit down and said, "I'm just waiting for you."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

Yin Xuan patted Li Shu's small head and signaled her to stop writing: "I am going to write a memorial to the court, but this is the first time I write this thing, it is very troublesome."

"It's fine if you come, come, come, I'll leave it to you."

Without any explanation, he stuffed Li Shu's suffocated memorial of less than a hundred characters into Li Shimin's hands.

"What memorial do you want me to write?" Li Shimin vaguely guessed, but now he can only act like a fool, acting like he doesn't understand anything.

Yin Xuan patted the table lightly, and turned to Master Xuanzang: "Master, let me introduce you, this is my old father-in-law, an official in the court..."

Speaking of this, Yin Xuan paused, turned around, and asked, "What rank are you now?"

Li Shimin also hesitated.

How many rank officials are you now?I haven't edited this thing for a long time, I forgot!
"Should it be the sixth grade?" Li Shimin hesitated, and uttered such a sentence.

Master Xuanzang's face turned green.

Why do these two people look so much like liars, they can still remember their grades wrongly, and "should be a sixth grade"?This thing has its due!

"It's really a sixth grade. I remember you were promoted?" Yin Xuan asked.

Li Shimin clapped his hands: "Oh, that's the fifth grade!"

"Five grades?"

"Yes, the fifth grade." Li Shimin insisted.
