Master Fachuan came out.
As soon as he came out, Wei Zheng noticed it and frowned.
He felt that the most troublesome person was the monk.
Because they have sensitive identities and unique status.
Princes, officials, and aristocratic families are all fine, but people from the Buddhist sect are not easy to deal with.
They mastered the faith, and everyone from the royal family to the common people believed in and respected them.
Moreover, Buddhism had a very unique position in the Tang Dynasty. First, the Thirteen Stick Monks rescued the King of Tang Dynasty, and then the eminent monks received rewards one after another, built temples, established sects, and were allowed not to pay taxes.
The masters also have the status of official mages and archmages. The most powerful archmages can even be as equal as their princes, and they are all nobles.
Just like an ordinary prince, he has a fiefdom and subjects, and does not have to pay taxes.
and.
They were nobles outside the country and gained the emperor's trust.
The most terrifying thing is that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Buddhism. There are many capable people and strangers, and there are many masters. They have always been trusted by the emperor.
Baima Temple is also a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Fachuan is not only the acting abbot of Baima Temple, but also one of the thirteen stick monks in the past.
He had a life-long friendship with the emperor.
Wei Zheng's face looked a little solemn.
Fachuan clasped his hands together and said: "Your Majesty, your visit to Luoyang is truly a great blessing. Even the golden statue of the White Horse Temple Buddha showed a smile in the early hours of this morning."
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, "Is this true?"
Fachuan said: "Not only that, three days ago, the iron trees bloomed in the White Horse Temple, a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum bloomed on the door, and a white horse that was about to die of illness in the back mountain also became full of life."
Li Shimin was overjoyed, this was all auspicious.
He was very satisfied.
All the monks in White Horse Temple laughed.
Wei Zheng frowned. These things were all said by Fachuan himself. It is still unknown whether they are true or not.
Even if it is real, it can be an illusion created by the monks of the White Horse Temple using magic, and there is no way it can be done.
He didn't believe that the golden Buddha would suddenly grin, let alone that the iron tree would bloom, or that the white horse that died of illness would still be alive and well?!
Never heard of it.
Before Wei Zheng came, he also inquired about the situation of White Horse Temple, but there were no relevant rumors before.
Most of these were thought up by Fachuan himself in the past two days to fool people.
I believe that Li Shimin will not pursue it in depth.
As expected.
Li Shimin was just happy and had no intention of checking.
Wei Zheng couldn't give up easily, because he knew that Fachuan would definitely want benefits next.
Therefore, he cupped his fists and said: "Wow, I didn't expect such auspiciousness. Can Master Fachuan bring up the white horse that is about to die of illness and present it to His Majesty? Can he also take out the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and let His Majesty see it?!"
He opened his arms, laughed, and said: "I have never seen the iron tree blooming. Can you take it out so that I can feast my eyes on it?!"
Fachuan's face changed slightly.
He didn't expect that Wei Zheng would want to find out the truth.
I suddenly felt embarrassed.
The aristocratic families and officials of all sizes in Luoyang were watching the fun. They couldn't afford to offend Wei Zheng, nor could they offend these monks.
On weekdays, they are in Luoyang, sharing weal and woe, but they also fight openly and secretly.
Seeing that the monks were displeased, they happily watched the fun.
Only Li Shimin and the Queen looked at each other, and they both saw that something was wrong with Wei Zheng.
It seems to be more aggressive.
And they are not stupid. From Wei Zheng's reaction, it can be seen that the monks are up to something!
really.
Fachuan hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to deal with Wei Zheng.
But Wei Zheng smiled and helped him out, saying: "It seems that Master Fachuan is reluctant to dedicate auspiciousness to His Majesty, that's all, Your Majesty doesn't want to compete with Buddha for auspiciousness."
Then he clasped his fists towards the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, White Horse Temple donated three thousand taels of silver to repair the Luoyang Palace half a month ago. This is a great kindness!"
Fachuan was stunned.
He didn't expect that Wei Zheng not only saved him from the siege, but also took credit for him.
They were all stunned for a moment, not knowing why.
He couldn't figure out what medicine Wei Zheng was selling in his gourd.
The monks were all stunned.
They had already felt a trace of hostility from the way Wei Zheng spoke before, but now Wei Zheng took credit for speaking for them, confusing them all.
Later.
They felt a little proud. Wei Zheng must be afraid of their Buddhism, so he wanted to ease the relationship.
Prime Minister Wei is not exempt from vulgarity!
Li Shimin said: "Xiang Wei's words are reasonable. Buddhism has done great good and should be rewarded."
Just when he was about to say a lot of rewards, Wei Zheng spoke again and said: "Your Majesty, I took over the full responsibility of this Eastern Tour from you before, and I have already rewarded Your Majesty in advance."
"Now, three thousand taels of silver have been prepared and returned to the White Horse Temple. In order to show His Majesty's kindness, an extra thousand taels of silver have been recruited to recruit workers to repair the parts of the White Horse Temple that have been in disrepair."
Fachuan's expression changed. Three thousand taels were exchanged for four thousand taels. Although they still made a lot of money, it was different from what they thought at first.
What they want is a high return of thirty thousand taels, or even three hundred thousand taels!
A mere four thousand taels was not worth the loss of face they had to fawn over the emperor.
Therefore, it is necessary to ask for more rewards.
but.
Wei Zheng was determined and said: "Your Majesty, this reward is solely the responsibility of the veteran. You don't have to worry too much. You won't lose your royal decency."
Li Shimin didn't know that Wei Zheng was taking the blame and saving money for him. With satisfaction in his heart, he also valued Wei Zheng even more.
He also understood why Wei Zheng agreed to the eastward tour. It turned out to be to personally conduct the eastward tour and save money for him.
Fachuan wanted more rewards, but when he met Wei Zheng's eyes, he was speechless.
This matter was taken over by Wei Zheng. If the reward was not enough, he would have to ask Wei Zheng for it. With Wei Zheng's temperament, he would not give more. And because of this, the Buddhists would anger Wei Zheng and displease the emperor.
There is no face left, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, Fachuan could only smile awkwardly and then silently retreat.
A smile appeared on Wei Zheng's face, and he said to himself, "Master Tianshi is really good at predicting events, and half of the problems were solved just like that."
However, immediately after, Wei Zheng's expression became solemn.
The disaster of placing lots is not just as simple as a monk asking for a reward, but also an eunuch offering his daughter.
The former is still a matter of money, while the latter will affect the emperor's health and fortune.
This night, Luoyang City was filled with laughter and laughter.
In the palace, there was singing and dancing.
The next day.
After Li Shimin woke up from a hangover and had a headache, Wang Bing, an old eunuch stationed at the Luoyang Palace, asked to see him.
"Your Majesty, there is a beautiful girl here who has been selected for you. If you are tired, would you like her to come up and serve you?"
Li Shimin rested separately from the queen in the palace. After all, the queen was in poor health and he was hungover.
At this time, I had a splitting headache. When I heard that there was a beautiful woman, she would be her woman in the future anyway, so I nodded in agreement.
soon.
A very beautiful woman was sent, who served the emperor obediently and comfortably.
Noon.
When Wei Zheng saw that Li Shimin did not get up to summon the representatives of the aristocratic family and the Luoyang squire, he suddenly felt something was wrong. After asking about it, he found out that the emperor was already having sex with a beautiful lady.
He was secretly angry, found Wang Bing, and cursed him.
Wang Bing did not dare to resist, but after Wei Zheng left, he did not take it seriously and continued to select more beautiful women to give to the emperor.
For three consecutive days, the emperor did not leave his palace.
He had almost forgotten the purpose of coming to Luoyang.
Wei Zheng was so angry that he could only go to the queen, but the queen obviously knew what happened.
She was not angry, but smiled and said: "I can't take care of Your Majesty, and if another woman takes care of you, I can rest assured."
Wei Zheng said: "Mother, have you forgotten the purpose of why I asked you to follow me?"
The queen was silent.
Wei Zheng continued: "Why do you think the old minister got that elixir?"
The Queen is interested.
Wei Zheng said: "It was given by Master Tianshi. He hopes that I will give it to you. Only you can stop His Majesty from doing such nonsense."
He moved out of Su Chen.
Wei Zheng said: "Even Master Tianshi thinks that His Majesty should not be close to women and needs you to be in charge. If you just sit back and watch, then there will really be no way to save the day!"
really.
Su Chen is still very useful.
When the queen heard that this was Su Chen's good intentions, she quickly stood up without saying anything.
She wanted to stop the emperor from continuing to indulge in women.
Royal palace, the emperor's bedroom.
Wang Bingdao: "Your Majesty, there is a beautiful girl outside the door. She is fourteen years old. Her name is Wu Zhao. She is beautiful and a daughter of a good family. I heard that your Majesty has been tax-free for the people of Luoyang for three years. I admire you very much and want to serve you.
What do you think?!"
Li Shimin has been eating tender grass these days, feeling very comfortable and enjoying the marrow. He also heard that the beautiful lady admired him so much, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.
Then he nodded and said: "Pass it in and let me take a look!"
Regarding Wu Zhao's name, there is a saying that the empress named her after she became emperor. However, this is a myth, so don't get hung up on it.
