Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang Chapter 725: Not enough success but more than failure; perhaps, it is their good fortune to bump into Tripitaka Buddha
Chapter 725: Not enough success but more than failure; perhaps, it is their good fortune to bump into Tripitaka Buddha
Chang'an has also been quite lively these two days.
The three waves of people who came back from Huainan undoubtedly brought quite a surprise.
Li Mao, who was first tied up by his disciples and sent to Zongzheng Temple in Chang'an, caused the first wave of disturbance in the court.
It has been a long time since the Li royal family has been arrested and questioned. This of course does not mean that there are no problems with those Li royal family, but they have not been found yet.
But Li Mao seemed to be a signal, expressing his attitude to the entire Li family of the Tang Dynasty and the relatives of the emperor. They were by no means outside the law, and those guilty would be punished.
Li Shimin did not intervene in handling Li Mao's matter.
Li Mao's father, Li Yuanli, chose to avoid it... saying that he would never interfere in Zongzheng Temple's punishment of Li Mao.
Li Yuanli is actually very clear about Li Mao's temperament. He has not been a law-abiding person since he was a child, and he often did things to bully men and dominate women by relying on his status as a member of the Tang Dynasty royal family.
But because Li Yuanli had been in office for a long time and rarely stayed at home... He lacked discipline for Li Mao when he was young. When Li Mao became an adult, he was granted a title in Huainan. Li Yuanli entered the center of the imperial court and became the current Situ to assist him.
The new emperor Li Zhi was in charge of the government...Li Mao was alone in Huainan, so of course he became more and more indulgent.
Before Li Yuanli took sick leave, he also wrote to the court... suggesting that the court strictly investigate officials at all levels in Huainan. Li Mao could continue to act recklessly in Huainan, and his parents and officials in these places may not be able to escape their involvement.
Those who dare not provoke them and have no choice but to hide...maybe they are understandable.
But if someone deliberately condones it, or even colludes with Li Mao, he will be severely punished.
Li Yuanli also suggested that the imperial court should make this incident a model and inform the whole country... Let the Li family know that the world of the Tang Dynasty belongs to the people of the world, and it is definitely not the dandy children like them who rely on the shadow of their fathers and ancestors who can do whatever they want.
place.
Li Yuanli was a die-hard supporter of his second brother Li Shimin. Of course he knew how much effort his second brother had put in for the Tang Dynasty. As a Situ of the Tang Dynasty, he also knew very well what kind of state the Tang Dynasty was in now.
Don't let these little things ruin the second brother's plan to become the Taoist King.
If Li Mao's lessons can wake up the Li family of the Tang Dynasty, correct their mentality, and fight for the rise of the Tang Dynasty, then it will not be considered a worthy death.
Li Mao was basically certain to die. After seeing the crimes he confessed to when he surrendered, Li Yuanli figured it out at that time and just pretended that he had never given birth to this little beast.
If there are just a few human lives on his hands, as long as the reason is legitimate and it is not an indiscriminate killing of innocent people... In fact, Li Mao's identity will not be too serious.
If it's killing enemies on the battlefield or wiping out bandits, it's even credit.
But Li Mao, this beast, was simply not a son of a man, and even attacked women, children, old and young.
Don't blame him as a father for not saving him. If he dares to fish for others in this matter, I'm afraid he will have to get involved too.
Li Yuanli is still very clear about this aspect.
In the Emperor's Palace outside Chang'an City.
Li Shimin put down the file in his hand and snorted coldly, "If you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you do."
Of course Li Chunfeng on the side knew who Li Shimin was scolding. Just when Li Chunfeng wanted to persuade him, he heard Li Shimin say, "Call Li Zhi over. I want to ask him how he became the emperor..."
.I gave him the Tang Dynasty to make him a good gentleman?"
"I don't believe that Li Zhi didn't know anything about what Li Mao did in Huainan."
"And the inner guards...what do the inner guards do? Call Li Junxian here too. I want to ask them personally if they can still do it. If they can't do it, then just pack up and leave.
.The Tang Dynasty is not short of two rice buckets."
I have to say that Li Shimin's words were a bit harsh.
But taking this matter as an example, it cannot be said that Li Junxian, who was in charge of the internal defense, and Li Zhi, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, had nothing to do with each other...at least, there was a reason for their indulgence.
If the activities of bad people had not put a lot of pressure on Li Mao and allowed him to stabilize for some time, I am afraid that more innocent people would have suffered at his hands.
Li Chunfeng thought for a moment and came to the conclusion that since Li Zhi ascended the throne, the Li family has indeed become more and more arrogant.
When Li Shimin was in power, with him on top, the Li family, relatives of the emperor, and those high-ranking officials were basically in peace... Even if there were some illegal acts, the impact was within control.
within.
But now...it can only be said that Li Zhi's methods are much softer than Li Shimin's.
It is not surprising that Li Shimin was angry this time.
The news that Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty and Li Junxian, the commander of the internal guards, were summoned to the palace by the Supreme Emperor Li Shimin to reprimand them, spread like wildfire throughout the Tang Dynasty.
As soon as this news came out, all those who had been honest and dishonest before had their tails between their legs. Some even thought that their sins were too great. Once the incident happened, they would probably end up like Li Mao, so they packed their bags secretly. As long as the news was wrong,
, and immediately prepared to run away.
But if they are still watching, they are destined to be unable to escape.
Because those who ran away the first time are now being hunted by the internal guards... The wanted notices have even been spread abroad.
The surrounding countries that had good relations with the Tang Dynasty were of course strictly guarding against such wanted criminals. If they could really be caught by them, they would have made a great contribution and would be indispensable for the Tang Dynasty's reward.
With the vast resources of the Tang Dynasty, as long as a little bit of it flows out from the cracks of the fingers, it will be enough for them... If it is a specially given reward, it will not be so precious.
Li Zhi and Li Junxian were aggrieved, but also very angry.
The grievance was being reprimanded by Li Shimin;
Of course, the reason for the anger was because of those people who caused trouble for the two of them... It was not that Li Zhi had not emphasized this matter at the court, but it seemed that he only talked about it verbally and could not attract everyone's attention.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this case, don’t blame them for being heavy-handed.
The energy that the internal guards could unleash with their heavy punches was enough to set off a huge storm in the Tang Dynasty.
It's not that there is no criminal discipline among the inner guards, but Li Zhi is worried that if he doesn't handle it well, it will destabilize the court... The chain reaction caused by it is not too easy to control, so he adopts gentle methods.
But now it seems that these people are not only shameless, they are even trying to push their noses into their faces and go even further.
Do you really think that he has only just ascended the throne and is young and can be bullied?
Li Zhi was also trained by Li Shimin. His temperament may be weaker than that of his two brothers, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, but he is by no means a cowardly king.
As long as he makes up his mind to do something, his methods are not inferior to his father Li Shimin's.
But many times, it was always difficult for him to make up his mind. This time... it was Li Shimin who added fuel to his fire.
But relying on others will never last long. When will Li Zhi become truly decisive, will he be considered a truly qualified emperor.
As for now...it's actually still in the learning stage.
At this time, what Li Shimin actually doesn't want is for Li Zhi to be too steady... It can't be said that being steady is a mistake, but Li Shimin thinks that Li Zhi can take advantage of himself to protect him, so he should let go of his hands and act boldly...
If you are tied up, you will not be able to exercise yourself, nor will you be able to play your role as the Supreme Emperor. Instead, you will allow those who are blind to take the opportunity to cause chaos.
But this is not entirely a bad thing. If this were not the case, I am afraid that so many people would not be attracted... After this large-scale cleanup, Li Shimin believed that there would be at least ten years of stability within the Tang Dynasty.
When Zhang Guolao and Xu Jingzong returned, Li Shimin's anger had basically dissipated.
When the two of them came back, they did not go back to the Datang Academy. Instead, they went directly to the palace to meet Li Shimin and report to Li Shimin the whole process of the operation and what they had gained in the temple of Huainan King Liu An.
Li Shimin had already gotten some information about what was going on at Bagong Mountain from the confessions of Li Mao and Huainan Prince's disciples... But after all, he didn't know the whole story. At present, what Zhang Guolao and Xu Jingzong said could be regarded as a warning to them.
Corroboration and supplementation of oral confessions.
But in fact, the two of them did not know everything comprehensively. After all, one of them had been away for a while. They knew more about the causes and consequences than Li Mao and the Huainan Wang disciples.
"Hahahaha - I didn't expect it..." Li Shimin couldn't help laughing a few times after listening to Zhang Guolao's words, "That old demon from Liangshan was hiding in Tibet, but he didn't expect that he would end up crashing into it."
In the arms of my royal brother."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chunfeng and asked him: "Chunfeng... you are indeed right. My younger brother has confirmed that the person who advises the old demon of Liangshan is the ancient mythical beast Bai Ze."
Compared to the handsome Bai Ze.
Li Shimin still prefers the title of the mythical beast Bai Ze.
From what Zhang Guolao said this time, Bai Ze seemed to have expressed his intention to his younger brother, and wanted to join the Tang Dynasty to assist him in becoming a Taoist King. Of course, Li Shimin wanted a figure like Bai Ze to join the Tang Dynasty.
.
Likewise, the identity of the Liangshan old demon cannot be underestimated.
Not to mention Li Shimin, even Li Chunfeng had never expected it to be Kui Niu, the mount of Lord Tongtian. However, when the identity of the other party was revealed, it didn't seem too surprising.
Li Chunfeng had only dealt with his master's mount Qing Niu. This Kui Niu... he had never seen before. After all, when he was accepted as a disciple by Lao Jun, Kui Niu had already disappeared in the Three Realms.
Now it seems that... he has been hiding in the water of Liangshan for a long time.
It was not until some time ago that Fei Changfang entered Liangshan by mistake and captured Onezawa Water God, that the existence of the Liangshan old demon was exposed to people for the first time.
According to Bai Ze, it wanted to manage Liangshan to a certain scale and regard it as a gift to join the Tang Dynasty... But after what happened, he could only temporarily
I put aside this thought and wanted to help the old demon from Liangshan escape first...but I simply bumped my head into the arms of Tripitaka Buddha, which can be said to have thrown myself into a trap.
Bai Ze didn't know how to describe this matter... After all, for him, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune was his natal magical power, but at that time, this magical power didn't have any reaction at all.
Perhaps, it is their good fortune to bump into Tripitaka Buddha.
Zhang Guolao and Xu Jingzong also knew very little about Bai Ze and the Liangshan old demon, so they only touched on it.
They came to the palace to meet Li Shimin. The most important thing was that Xu Jingzong wanted to dedicate the complete version of "Huainanzi" to Li Shimin. On this point...Xu Jingzong still knew it well.
As expected, Li Shimin was delighted when he saw Long Yan and immediately rewarded Xu Jingzong heavily.
Moreover, Li Shimin did not accept the original copy of "Huainanzi", but asked Xu Jingzong to personally copy two volumes of copies, and sent one volume to Hongwen Hall and the other to Daci'en Temple.
"I obey the decree."
In fact, Xu Jingzong had already made preparations for the "original" in his hands to be taken away by Li Shimin, but now that he heard that he could keep the "original", he was greatly relieved.
I secretly praised: You are worthy of being Your Majesty.
Li Chunfeng on the side saw Xu Jingzong's expression and knew what he was thinking... But Li Chunfeng was slandering: That's because you didn't meet His Majesty and he met the one he really liked... At that time, the calligrapher Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Collection"
"Preface" is now enshrined like a treasure by our Majesty, and ordinary people cannot even take a look at it.
Even some time ago, His Majesty wanted to take this "Preface to the Lanting Collection" to be buried with him as a burial object, but he was afraid that the world's best calligraphy would follow him in the tomb, and the world would not be able to witness its grace...
His Majesty also summoned many calligraphers and masters of calligraphy to make rubbings and copies of this work.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! From this point of view, this "Huainanzi"... is simply not in the eyes of His Majesty.
Xu Jingzong is undoubtedly a capable minister, but because of his history compilation, his reputation in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty plummeted... Especially in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty now, with the brilliance of the young officials' awe-inspiring righteousness
As a result, it would be even more difficult for ministers like him with bad personal ethics to gain a foothold in the court.
Just because it wasn't used in the imperial court doesn't mean Li Shimin couldn't use it here either.
Xu Jingzong kept a low profile in the Tang Dynasty Academy, which was actually a kind of precipitation...Now that he has received the inheritance of "Huainanzi", once he succeeds in practice and becomes an immortal...that will be a big deal for Li Shimin
of assistance.
Shortly after Xu Jingzong and Zhang Guolao left, Sanzang Holy Buddha finally returned to Chang'an with Bai Ze, Kui Niu and the remaining retainers and palace officials of the Huainan Palace.
As for the officials in Huainan, Fahai just guessed that the imperial court would take corresponding actions, so he did not overstep his authority...he only waited for the imperial envoys to be sent down to interrogate them.
The treatment of the emperor's younger brother was different. When he learned that the emperor's younger brother had returned, Li Shimin immediately got up and rushed outside the palace to greet him personally. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, the only person who could enjoy the privilege of Li Shimin coming out of the palace to greet his younger brother was the Holy Buddha Tripitaka, his younger brother.
Everyone thinks this is the most normal thing.
"My dear brother." Li Shimin stepped forward and held the hand of Tripitaka Saint Buddha, and said with a smile: "I have ordered people to prepare a fasting banquet. Please——"
But Li Shimin doesn’t only have Yu Di in his eyes... After the child Sanzang Buddha finished speaking, he turned to look at Bai Ze and Kui Niu, "You haven't asked me yet...?"
