Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Li Shimin and the queen arrived at Sujiazhuang.

Changle and Xiao Sizi are drinking tea.

Li Shimin came in and asked, "The kid hasn't gotten up yet?"

Chang Le said with a smile: "I haven't woken up from the afternoon nap yet."

The queen said: "I'm afraid I wake up late in the morning. I didn't wake up for a long time and fell asleep again."

Chang Le said with a smile: "Empress Mother knows."

After joking for a while, Li Shimin waited slowly.

When the sun was about to set, Su Yu came out of the room.

"Patriarch Chen Xuan has woken up."

Li Shimin said.

Seeing Li Shimin coming, Su Yu smiled and said, "Old Li, Tang Monk came back from the Western Regions, you don't have much chat with him, why are you here?"

Su Yu knew that what Li Shimin was thinking of was Western Turks.

Tang Seng passed by the Western Regions and was very familiar with the situation of Western Turks.

Li Shimin said: "The "Da Tang Western Regions" written by him, I, Zhong Shuling, Wei Guogong and the others have read it for many days."

"I have figured out the general situation, but I just want to ask, when will you go to the Western Regions to take revenge, and I will lead soldiers to accompany you there."

Su Yu lay down and sneered, "Lao Li, come with me? Are you so kind?"

Li Shimin patted his chest and said, "I am your father-in-law. My son-in-law is being bullied, so of course the father-in-law has to stand out."

This guy brought the contradiction to Su Yu's head.

Su Yu said contemptuously: "No need, Western Turkic made trouble twice, and he was the one who suffered both times."

"I am in a very good mood, and there is no question of revenge."

"Even if you want to take revenge, it's the Western Turks who want to seek revenge from me. I'm not the one who suffers."

In one word, throw the contradiction back, and don't take it seriously at all.

Li Shimin had nothing to say.

The queen asked them, Weng and son-in-law, to bicker, and she, Changle, and Xiao Sizi went into the house for dinner.

"Lan Lan, it's time to eat."

Little Si greeted.

The rest of Li Shimin looked at Su Yu as he had nothing to do.

"One thing, Xuanzang brought back many Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit from Tianzhu. Do you think I should destroy them or keep them?"

Li Shimin asked.

Li Shimin respected Taoism, he was a little worried.

The monk Xuanzang was so persevering that he was able to come back from Tianzhu after going through all kinds of hardships.

If Buddhism flourishes under his leadership, Taoism will suffer.

Su Yu said: "The scriptures brought back by Xuanzang after more than ten years, you can't justify burning them on fire."

"You are nothing more than worried that the Buddhist gate will overwhelm the Taoist gate, which will be bad for the court."

"Don't worry, he will create a new Buddhist sect - the Consciousness Sect."

"But it's short-lived and won't last long."

"Those scriptures are of high value, keep them."

As a college student who has studied books, Su Yu is absolutely impossible to say that these scriptures were set on fire.

It would be the same as Xiang Yu burning down the Daqin library, and the pre-Qin classics were burned.

Moreover, the Consciousness-Wei School is very difficult, not as good as the Zen School created by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.

Zen Buddhism pays attention to clarifying the mind and seeing the nature. It is more suitable for the Chinese culture, so it has been passed down for a long time.

Hearing what Su Yu said, Li Shimin immediately became cheerful.

"In this case, I might as well be a favor and arrange a dojo for him to translate scriptures."

Li Shimin said.

Su Yu said with a smile: "You don't have a Big Wild Goose Pagoda, just give it to him, let him put good things in the underground palace of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

Li Shimin was taken aback and asked, "How do you know that there is an underground palace under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?"

This underground palace was secretly dug by Li Shimin. It was originally useful when the Xuanwumen changed.

Later, when I met Su Yu, things at the Xuanwu Sect went too smoothly, so it was useless.

Su Yu said, "Nonsense, I went to see that underground palace."

Before crossing, Su Yu traveled there.

Li Shimin asked gloomyly: "No, the underground palace has never been opened, how did you go there?"

"You let bad people do it secretly?"

Su Yu didn't bother to tell him, and replied: "It's a secret now, and after more than 1000 years, you can get in with just one ticket."

Li Shimin was in a fog.

"Forget it, I don't understand what you said."

"Since Xuanzang wants to get rid of him, I will give him the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

Li Shimin said.

Su Yu nodded, got up and went in for dinner.

That night Li Shimin and the queen stayed in Zhuangzi.

The next day, after breakfast, I mounted my horse and headed back to Chang'an City.

Princess Changle came out and said, "Father, this is from my husband to Master Xuanzang."

Li Shimin saw a letter and asked, "What is this?"

Princess Changle shook her head and said, "I don't know, my husband just told Xuanzang."

Li Shimin accepted it, and returned to Chang'an City with He Meng, and the queen stayed in Zhuangzi for two days.

Back in Chang'an City, Li Shimin went to Shenghua Temple.

When the monks at the gate saw Li Shimin, they hurriedly greeted him.

After entering the temple, I saw Xuanzang reading a book in the corridor, and the obese disciple next to him helped with the book.

When Li Shimin came over, Xuanzang got up hurriedly.

"Long live my emperor."

Xuanzang stood up and prayed.

"The master is free."

Li Shimin smiled and sat down.

When Master Chen Xuan heard that Li Shimin had arrived, he hurried over to meet him.

The three sat down.

Li Shimin said, "Master brought back many scriptures, and he definitely wanted to translate them into Chinese and carry them forward in China."

"Although this Shenghua Temple is good, I'm afraid it's too noisy with people coming and going, and it's not suitable for translating scriptures."

Xuanzang wanted to translate here these days, but found that there was a shortage of things, and there were a lot of pilgrims, so it was really inconvenient.

"There's just no better place to go."

Xuanzang said helplessly.

Li Shimin said with a chuckle: "The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is secluded, and the pagoda is quiet, and it can store scriptures, which is great."

Xuanzang was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Shimin to be so generous.

Take the initiative to give the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to yourself.

Could it be because he took his own "Da Tang Western Regions"?
"How dare the poor monk expect to translate scriptures in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

Xuanzang was flattered.

Li Shimin said with a chuckle: "Master, there is no need to refuse, I will send someone to help you carry the books there now."

"In the future, your knowledge-only sect will continue to flourish."

Xuanzang was about to thank him, but he heard Li Shimin say that his Consciousness-Only Sect would flourish in the future.
Consciousness sect.
Xuanzang recited these three words silently in his heart, feeling that they were too appropriate.

He studied Buddhist scriptures in Tianzhu, and he already has a general feeling.

The essence of these scriptures ferments in my heart, and I always feel that there is a word that can sum it up.

But I can't say it out, as if separated by a layer of window paper.

When Li Shimin uttered the three words "Weizhizong", Xuanzang knew it clearly as if the clouds opened and saw the moon.

"Miao Miao Miao!"

Xuanzang clapped his hands and shouted.

Li Shimin was taken aback by the sudden surprise, and asked, "Master, where is the magic?"

Master Xuanzang was surprised and said, "I never thought that the Emperor's study of Buddhism is so profound, and the poor monk feels ashamed."

"The poor monk only knows that there is a Buddha in the Western Paradise, but he never thought that I also have a Buddha in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin was taken aback. Does this mean that he has become a Buddha?
But just said a few words, how to become a Buddha?
Li Shimin was confused by Xuanzang's surprise.

"Master, if possible, let's go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."

Li Shimin laughed.

Xuanzang had no reason not to follow, and immediately ordered his disciples to help.

Master Chen Xuan also asked the disciples in the temple to help transport the scriptures to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for translation.
