Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Su Yu smiled slightly, unmoved.

"As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, your son-in-law was stopped by someone, how about you?"

"How did you become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? You can't even protect your own son-in-law, so what use are you for?"

Su Yu sarcastically said.

Li Shimin was left speechless, and thought to himself: Sure enough, I can't argue with this kid, I'm not an opponent.

"Forget it, I'll go back and think about how to grow tobacco."

Li Shimin got up and wanted to leave.

The little sizi stayed and said: "Royal father, at least I will go back after eating."

Li Shimin thought about it too, he was about to help Su Yu make money again, and it didn't feel like it was worthwhile not to stay and eat him.

"Alright, if you hadn't persuaded me to stay, I would have gone back."

Li Shimin sat down again.

"Take out the recliner for me, this weather is suitable for lying down."

Li Shimin ordered.

Cheng Yaojin immediately went into the room to move the chairs. Cheng Yaojin knew better than Su Yu what was in the yard.

The reclining chair came out, Li Shimin lay on it, looked at the blue sky, and fell asleep happily.

Cheng Yaojin asked Di Renjie: "The emperor is sleeping, what are we doing?"

Di Renjie said, "I'll read, you can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Di Renjie went home to read.

Cheng Yaojin felt that he had nothing to do, so he walked around the village with his hands behind his back.

Not to mention that Li Shimin is considering growing tobacco, north of Chang'an City.

A monk riding a white horse, with a dozen camels behind him, and a dozen horses carrying boxes, slowly crossed the Weishui Bridge to the outside of Chang'an City.

This monk is none other than Master Xuanzang. He has not returned since he left Chang'an City to learn Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu.

Along the way, Xuanzang was very surprised.

"Is this still Chang'an City?"

Xuanzang couldn't help sighing.

Since passing through the Western Regions and entering Gaochang Duhufu, he has seen many business travelers along the way. After entering the Sanfu land, the people are richer, children are everywhere, and cattle are everywhere.

"I didn't expect the emperor to be so talented and govern the Tang Dynasty so powerfully, Amitabha."

Master Xuanzang sighed.

When I left Chang'an City, although the Tang Dynasty had already wiped out the Eastern Turks, they were not as rich as they are now.

After so many years, Xuanzang was not surprised by such a big change.

"Master, what did you say?"

A fat man with big ears came up behind him and asked.

He walked on foot with a rake over his shoulder, his belly sticking out.

This person does not look like a Central Plains person, but looks like a Tianzhu person.

This is a disciple taken in by Master Xuanzang in Tianzhu. He was originally a slave of a low caste in Tianzhu. Xuanzang accepted him as a disciple and brought him back to the Tang Dynasty.

In Tianzhu, when Buddhism was flourishing, low-caste slaves were actually discriminated against.

After all, Xuanzang is a native of the Central Plains, and there is a certain kind of thinking about princes and generals.

Confucius also said that there is no distinction between teaching and learning.

Although he entered Buddhism, he had different ideas, so Xuanzang still accepted him as a disciple despite the objections of the monks in Tianzhu.

Xuanzang said happily: "My son, we will soon enter Chang'an City, which is the most prosperous and prosperous capital in the world."

"When you enter Chang'an City, you must keep in mind the Buddhist precepts. My Middle-earth Buddhism is different from Tianzhu, so don't violate the precepts."

Xuanzang knew that this apprentice was greedy for food and lust, so he was afraid that he could not help breaking the precept in Chang'an City.

The man patted his stomach and laughed, "How can I forget my master's teachings? I'm sure I won't be fooled by the flowers in Chang'an City."

Said very confidently.

Xuanzang nodded and said, "That's fine."

Squeak
There was a sound of baring its teeth, and a monkey jumped over from the back of the camel, landed on the disciple and scratched it.

The man was furious and cursed: "Pohou, you dare to do this, see if I don't beat you."

The monkey seemed a little afraid of him, and jumped onto Xuanzang's horse again.

Master Xuanzang reprimanded: "Apprentice, why have you violated the precept of anger again?"

The man patted his bald head, and said with a smile: "Master, this monkey is really hateful, the disciple couldn't help but curse."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said: "Don't be like this, there is nothing outside your mind, everything is false, don't get angry."

The man touched his scratched head and muttered, "Master, my bald head is bleeding, so it's still vain."

Xuanzang was speechless, he couldn't believe that the blood was fake, it was a hallucination.

Riding on a horse, when they arrived at Chunming Gate, the city guards saw a monk with a fat man and a monkey, and hurriedly stopped them.

Li Tang respects Taoism and is not very friendly to Buddhism.

"Where did the monk come from, and where did he go?"

The city guard shouted and asked.

Xuanzang dismounted from his horse, bowed his body, and said: "The poor monk is Xuanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty. He was ordered by the emperor to go to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures. Today, after going through untold hardships, he obtained the scriptures and brought them back."

The guard heard that it was Li Shimin's imperial order, so he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Arguably it shouldn't.

Since Li Shimin didn't like Buddhism, why did he ask Xuanzang to learn Buddhist scriptures?

"Hurry up and report to General Xu."

A soldier flew to report to Xu Shiji immediately.

After a while, Xu Shiji rode his horse to Chunming Gate.

"Hey? Master Xuanzang? Are you back?"

Xu Shiji knew about Xuanzang's study of Buddhist scriptures.

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Thanks to the great blessing of the emperor, although we have gone through untold hardships, we finally arrived."

Xu Shiji immediately led Xuanzang into the city.

"Which temple will the mage return to for a rest?"

Xu Shiji asked.

Xuanzang said: "I was ordered by the emperor to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and I should report to the emperor first."

Xu Shiji laughed and said: "Unfortunately, the emperor is not in the palace today and went to Sujiazhuang."

Li Shimin didn't leave the city through Xuanwu Gate, Xu Shiji, as the general guarding the city, naturally knew the whereabouts of the boss.

Xuanzang thought for a while and said, "Since the emperor is not in the palace, then the poor monk should go to Shenghua Temple first, where I have friendship with Master Chen Xuan Dachan."

Xu Shiji said, "Very good, I'll take you there."

Along the way, Xu Shiji took Xuanzang to Shenghua Temple.

Xuanzang's disciples are behind him, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, as if he has never seen the world.

The walls of Chang'an City are tall and strong, and the soldiers' armor is bright and bright, which can reflect the sun.

This is the Mingguang Armor of the Tang Dynasty, which was originally only given to elite soldiers, but now that the treasury has money, regular soldiers have a pair.

And the hustle and bustle of Chang'an City was something he had never seen before.

"Oh, master, this is Chang'an City, it's much better than what you always said."

The man marveled at the wealth of the Tang Dynasty.

"Look at that fat monk, his belly is so big, it's been a few months."

"Could it be that he stole lamp oil and got so fat."

"I think it's a boy in my belly, no, it's a girl."

The woman on the side of the road made fun of the disciple's appearance.

But the man looked dazzled and charming, and shouted that the woman in Chang'an is fair and pure.

In Tianzhu, Brahmins and Kshatriyas of high caste are people from Central Asia and Europe, and their skin is lighter than the local aborigines.

So from the outside, the whiter the skin, the higher the grade.

So in his eyes, these plump and white women in Chang'an are the ones he covets.

When we arrived at Shenghua Temple, the monks at the gate saw Xuanzang, but they recognized him.

"Master Xuanzang, you are back."

The gatekeeper disciple then said with great joy.

Xu Shiji didn't blame the monks for not paying respects. Buddhism and Taoism are outside the secular world. They don't serve as ministers, and they don't worship officials.

"Master, you stay here first, and I will report to the emperor."

Xu Shiji said.

Master Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, General."

Xu Shiji got on his horse and galloped to Sujiazhuang.
