Although Xiao Yu was a great Confucian of his generation, he was also a master of Buddhism.
but.
Su Chen still looked down upon him.
Because Xiao Yu is not as great as he appears.
Xiao Yu's criticism of Li Shimin was not as well-founded as Wei Zheng's. Many of them were old ideas that he believed in, and they were not for the sake of the country or the people. They were purely for the ideas he believed in.
He thought he was right. For example, he believed deeply in Buddhism and Confucianism, but he was very resistant to Li Shimin's Taoism and wrote several letters criticizing it.
He was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's emphasis on poetry and poetry in the imperial examinations, and felt that he should take more exams in Confucianism and Buddhism.
Because of his bad temper and self-righteousness, his official career was ups and downs, but Li Shimin commented on him as "the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough wind knows the honest minister".
It can be regarded as recognition of his character.
Su Chen said: "How can I convince you?"
Xiao Yu said: "Everyone in the world says you are a living immortal, but I don't believe it. Immortals are all good people, but you are so harsh on Buddhism. You are not a true immortal."
After some evaluation, he added: "I won't bully you. If you can really interpret the lottery for others, then I will ask you to draw a lottery to see if you can solve it. If you can solve it, I will donate all my property.
Even if I end up on the street, it has nothing to do with you."
Su Chen had a strange look on his face. He had seen someone with a tough head, but he had never seen someone so tough!
"On behalf of the people of the Tang Dynasty, I thank you for your donation! OK, what do you want to ask?!"
Xiao Yu continued: "I would like to ask, what is the good or bad outcome of your Majesty's order to attack Goguryeo today?!"
Su Chen said: "You don't ask yourself, but ask about the national policy of the Tang Dynasty?!"
Xiao Yu said: "I'm a stinky person. I've lived long enough and I can't die. I have everything I want. It's useless to ask if I can't get it. What's there to ask?!"
Su Chen was stunned.
He underestimated Xiao Yu. As expected, there was no one who could become a hero of Lingyan Pavilion.
With this character and attitude, Xiao Yu surpassed many people.
Anyway, Su Chen has never seen him before, how many people can be so free and easy.
but.
It didn't stop him from teaching this old guy a lesson, because he felt that Xiao Yu definitely wasn't here for personal reasons, otherwise he wouldn't have said such free and easy things.
In this case, it must be for Buddhism.
Xiao Yu believes deeply in Buddhism, but Su Chen has been having a hard time with Buddhism recently.
The person who can make Xiao Yu come must be a great Buddhist sect.
Su Chen thought about tricking Xiao Yu and also tricking Buddhism.
He believed that he and Buddhism were on the same level. Even if the Eight Immortals misunderstood, he would try his best to explain it.
but.
It seems that Buddhism really has a hold on him and won't let him go.
Then Su Chen is no longer welcome.
Xiao Yu said: "How about it, can you figure it out?"
Su Chen said: "It's a small matter, you draw lots first."
Then he handed over the bamboo tube.
Xiao Yu took it over and didn't question it. Instead, he put it on his forehead very reverently and murmured something.
Even if ordinary people are so close, they may not be able to hear what Xiao Yun is thinking.
but.
Su Chen had a good ear, so he heard everything clearly.
"The sage of Confucianism and Taoism, Sakyamuni, has been given a clear message by his ancestors. The believer Xiao Yu wants to ask about the good or bad luck of the Tang Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo."
Swish swish swish.
Snap.
A bamboo stick fell. When Xiao Yu picked it up and looked at it, his eyes widened.
He was stunned for a long time and did not come back to his senses.
"Xiaxiazai, how can it be that Xiaxiazai is the one who signed it?"
"We in the Tang Dynasty were at the peak of their military power, with strong soldiers and horses, well-trained soldiers and sufficient food supplies, and we had the right time and place. How could we not defeat Goguryeo?!"
Xiao Yu looked shocked and in disbelief.
Su Chen looked dull, but this old guy was also funny. He came to the Taoist temple to ask for blessings from Buddha and Confucian saints. It would be strange if he could do it.
Moreover, Xiao Yu’s ancestors are said to be former ministers from the pre-Sui era. How can they protect the Tang Dynasty?!
Unexpectedly.
After Xiao Yu was lost in thought, he burst out laughing and said: "It is indeed a lottery. Your Majesty believes in you so much. If you were told that this attack on Goguryeo was a lottery, he would probably give up!"
"
Su Chen was stunned. For a moment, he didn't understand whether Xiao Yu was eager to see the lottery or not!
Seeing Su Chen's puzzled expression, Xiao Yu said: "King Bingjian, I've lost my temper. But to be honest, I feel very complicated after receiving the lottery."
"I've signed a lot to prove that your Majesty's attack on Goguryeo this time is likely to fail, and the loss will be the national power and prestige of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, I am not happy to see this scene."
"However, if the lottery can make His Majesty give up attacking Goguryeo, it seems to be good."
Su Chen said: "So, you do not support the attack on Goguryeo."
Xiao Yu said: "Of course, since the Tang Dynasty has finally accumulated some national strength, it should work hard to develop people's livelihood, establish schools, promote Confucianism, build temples, and build beliefs."
"Your Majesty has been fighting and killing all day long. He is so happy about his success. In the end, the interests of ordinary people are harmed. Moreover, Goguryeo is adjacent to the Tang Dynasty. If we attack, how will the world view our Tang Dynasty?!"
Su Chen looked weird, this old man is very selfish!
Moreover, things are indeed very one-sided, and they are all based on their own ideas. They only care about the interests of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, they do not specifically benefit the Tang Dynasty and the people.
He just respects his own beliefs more.
For this reason, he was selfish.
If a person does not do it for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, but if he does it for himself and insists that he does it for the people of the world, that would be hypocritical!
No wonder Li Shimin didn't think highly of him, and no wonder he was not favored by Li Shimin as he was also a hero of Lingyan Pavilion.
Su Chen said: "Sir, do you want this lottery to come true?!"
Xiao Yu looked confused.
If he hopes so, it proves that he has selfish motives and is disloyal to the Tang Dynasty.
If he doesn't want it, then prove in reverse that he approved of Su Chen's draw, and then he loses.
All the family property was given to Su Chen.
All of a sudden, I was in a dilemma.
Su Chen said: "Sir, I think you don't want this lot to come true, but you also recognize Pindao's strength to a certain extent."
Xiao Yu was silent.
How could he not approve of Su Chen? In fact, when he went up the mountain this time, he seemed to be unruly, but in fact he came with the attitude of sacrificing his life to become a benevolent person.
He knew how powerful Su Chen was, and he also thought that Su Chen might be a living god, or else he was an extraordinary person who was about to become an immortal.
It's just that he doesn't approve of Su Chen's suppression of Buddhism.
Therefore, he wants to find trouble. He wants to let Su Chen know that Buddhism is so powerful that even an old man like him is not easy to deal with!
Su Chen has a delicate heart with seven orifices, and even if you can't see Xiao Yu's attitude, you know that this old man still recognizes his strength.
He just has a bad mouth and wants to stand up for Buddhism. He was taken advantage of and came here to find trouble.
but.
Once you're here, don't think about going back easily.
Since Buddhism used Xiao Yu, he also used it.
Anyway, this old man is just a stinky ball. Buddhism can kick it, but Su Chen can’t?!
Su Chen said: "Looking at your attitude, Pindao, I know that you recognize Pindao's strength, at least your ability to ask for signatures. So, do you recognize Pindao's ability to interpret signatures?!"
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
Su Chen said: "If Pindao can resolve this bet and allow the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo and turn danger into danger, then do you think you are wrong and Pindao is right?!"
Xiao Yu said: "Okay."
Su Chen said: "It's not enough that you can, you have to pay the price."
Xiao Yu said: "What do you want? I'll give you all my property!"
When he said this, it was tantamount to admitting that he lost to Su Chen!
Su Chen chuckled and said: "But you haven't lost to me yet. If I resolve the issue, you will abandon Buddhism and practice Taoism from now on. When you go back, you will write a letter to impeach Buddhism. You can think of how to find trouble. If I can't resolve it, you
Just take back all the family property, and I will give you a pill that can increase your life span by three years!"
The first sentence was nothing, but the last sentence made Xiao Yu's eyes go straight.
An elixir that can increase lifespan is definitely an elixir. Who doesn’t love it?!
Xiao Yu agreed wholeheartedly, but regretted it a little because he recognized Su Chen's strength, and it was rumored that Su Chen had never failed to resolve a lottery!
This is more or less giving away his life!
but.
The words have been spoken, and Xiao Yu also feels that attacking Goguryeo has no chance of winning, and there is basically no way to resolve it by placing a lottery!
He said very well before that he thought it was okay for the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo, but in fact he wrote a letter in court condemning this act and also opposed this national policy.
There was a good reason, but it failed.
He felt that it would be difficult to turn danger into disaster when Datang attacked Goguryeo this time!
In particular, he got some news from Buddhist experts. Now that spring has begun in the tenth year of Zhenguan, there will be a late spring cold, and the Mobei area is extremely cold.
After losing the right time, it is unlikely that the Tang Dynasty will win!
Therefore, he did not regret it and even admitted it again.
"Okay, I'll bet with King Bingjian. Please don't default on your money if King Bingjian loses."
Su Chen said: "Haha, don't worry, we can't lose."
"Bring me the lottery ticket!"
He took the lottery into his hand, and his eyes suddenly became foggy, and pictures appeared one after another.
