Tang Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name and said, "I have been escaping into Buddhism since I can remember. I can't let go of Buddhism and return to secular life so easily."

Li Shimin smiled and the expression on his face was still sincere, "It's okay, I'm making the embarrassment of Master Xuanzang. If Master Xuanzang cannot return to the secular world, I'm still willing to be a close friend with Master who can talk to you."

Tang Xuanzang whispered: "It's getting late, I'm still going back to the temple..."

Li Shimin stood up and took a step back and bowed to Tang Xuanzang and said, "Then I will stay with Master Xuanzang soon."

Tang Xuanzang also stood up and bowed and said, "I will leave."

After saying that, Tang Xuanzang chanted the Buddha's name and turned around and left the Wude Hall.

The Wude Hall has returned to silence, and Li Shimin's expression has immediately returned to coldness from the excitement and sincerity just now.

Even the eunuchs beside him dared not look directly at His Majesty's cold expression.

Even the palace maids beside them knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Clean up the Wude Hall."

"Here."

The palace maid's words were trembling with some trembling.

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and left Wude Hall.

When she returned to Lizheng Hall, Princess Gaoyang was taking a nap here, and Queen Changsun carefully covered Gaoyang with bedding.

Li Shimin sat down in the Lizheng Hall and said to Empress Changsun: "Why do you think this Tang Xuanzang refused to enter the court to become an official?"

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "How can you let monks become officials?"

Li Shimin held his forehead and said, "It seems that it is more difficult to let Tang Xuanzang enter the court as an official than to let Li Zheng enter the court as an official."

Looking at Li Shimin's tired expression, Emperor Changsun came behind him and rubbed his temples and said, "Although Li Zheng refused to be an official, many of Li Zheng's thoughts coincide with His Majesty, right?"

Li Shimin nodded.

Empress Changsun said again: "Li Zheng is not Tang Xuanzang. On the contrary, Li Zheng and Tang Xuanzang may be opponents?"

Li Shimin whispered: "You are right. Li Zheng is not Tang Xuanzang. Compared to this, even if Li Zheng does not become an official, it will be of great use to the country to me, but Tang Xuanzang's usefulness is not so great to me."

Empress Changsun whispered: "Your Majesty, you should have less of this idea in your daily life and relax more."

"Relax?" Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "Where did I get so much leisure time? I can only come to Lizheng Hall to rest for a while. I really envy Li Zheng."

...

In Jingyang, Li Zheng bid farewell to Fang Xuanling and Prince Li Chengqian.

I took a look at Tian Ri and had lunch, which was a good time to take a nap.

Just as he was about to lie down, Wang Ding came again.

Sitting on the recliner, Li Zheng looked at Wang Ding, "Your Majesty is here to hear."

Wang Ding said: "The news from the palace is that Your Majesty met Tang Xuanzang today, and this seems to have refused to return to secular life."

"Yeah?"

Wang Ding told Li Zheng the conversation between His Majesty and Tang Xuanzang.

After listening, Li Zheng sighed.

Wang Ding said again: "Master Xuanzang did not directly reject Your Majesty, but he did not agree. It seems that Tang Xuanzang's attitude is not very good."

Tang Xuanzang has been a monk for half his life, and now it is a very thankless thing to let others return to secular life.

It is reasonable that Tang Xuanzang refused back. According to original historical records, Li Shimin did try to persuade Tang Xuanzang to return to secular life several times but failed.

Tang Xuanzang was devoted to Buddhism, and you talked about your ideals, the country, and the future with others.

What Xuanzang of Tang wanted was the prosperity of Buddhism, and what you, Li Shimin, wanted was the country and country.

The two of them are just on the same channel.

It's like cross-server chatting is a truth.

He looked at Wang Ding and was still standing beside him, while Li Zheng lazily lay on the recliner, "Is there anything else to do with Eunuch Wang?"

Wang Ding said: "Does Chang'an Order have no opinion on this?"

"Opinions? What do I have any other opinions? I want to think that Your Majesty asked Tang Xuanzang to talk about ideals. Your Majesty and Tang Xuanzang's ideals are not on the same channel. Do you think it can be achieved?" Li Zheng closed his eyes and said, "My opinion is better, and I will send the beauty to Tang Xuanzang's bed directly, and then call a group of onlookers to watch. In this way, it will be difficult for Tang Xuanzang to return to secular life."

After hearing what Li Zheng said, "Will this be too much..."

"Too shameless?" Li Zheng sneered.

Wang Ding nodded.

"Does the prince have any tricks?"

Wang Ding was silent again. Seeing Li Zheng taking a nap like this, it was not easy to disturb him like this, so he had to walk away with tactfulness.

In the evening, Xu Jingzong came to the horse circle with a bag on his back.

Li Zheng had just woken up and saw Xu Jingzong opening the bag, which contained a scroll of information.

"Chang'an Order, this is what we collected about the Buddhist sect. Although this Buddhist sect says it is a pure land, there is a lot of information here after investigation."

Li Zheng opened a message and looked at the contents on it, took a breath, "There is a monk who has an affair with a widow, and he actually has a child outside?"

He picked up another copy, and Li Zheng looked at the content, "Does the host of Ximingsi actually like rabbits?"

Looking at one piece of information after another, Li Zheng smacked his tongue: "What a heavy mouth."

However, after reading a few copies, I still found the most critical evidence of the interests between the temple and the powerful.

However, many of the powerful people have always had news of moving around, but no news of specific interests.

Xu Jingzong said: "Don't worry, Chang'an Order, I will definitely find out if I give you some time. I have arranged a few people to enter the temple and go to the temple to inquire."

Li Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong suspiciously.

Xu Jingzong said: "Some news is easy to inquire, some news is too difficult to inquire. Those monks kept silent, thinking that they might get some information when they got involved."

"Is it a big sacrifice to ask for a monk to ask for information?"

Xu Jingzong said: "It's indeed a bit too big. I just want to give money. I promised one person a thousand guan. I don't know if the Chang'an Order is possible..."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "One person is one thousand guan, you, Xu Jingzong, are really good at speaking."

"It's nothing if the Chang'an Order is not given. At worst, I can just pay the debt after I make a payment. If the Chang'an Order gives money, I'm sure I can dig out the news within half a month."

Li Zheng took out a wallet and said, "Except for one person, one thousand guan, but I want to find out where the money in those temples flows and where the money is. If anyone can find out, I can increase the price by 10,000 guan!"

Xu Jingzong stood up straight and bowed and said, "Chang'an Order! Don't worry, if you can't find out, you will shave your hair and go to the temple to investigate the case."

Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand, "Okay, you can do it well inquire about the news, and there is no need to trap you yourself. If you trap in, who will do my business in the future."

Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "Let Chang'an Ling laugh."

Li Zheng looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "You are very familiar with Pingkangfang, are you?"

"Familiar?" After looking at Li Zheng, Xu Jingzong whispered: "Most of the girls in Pingkangfang are familiar with each other. If the Chang'an Order needs it, you can..."
