Chapter 40 Royal Taoist Temple Indifferent to Fame and Fortune Monthly Pass
Chapter 40 Royal Taoist Temple, indifferent to fame and wealth [Please recommend and vote monthly]
Gao Shilian took the third imperial edict and began to read it.
"...I am a descendant of Li Er, but it is inappropriate to have no Taoist temple in the palace. Therefore, a royal Taoist temple will be built in the palace. Duke Cheng Zhijie of the State of Lu will supervise the construction. Please ask Taoist Priest Wu Gu to complete the three-year filial piety period."
Served as the temple master."
The master of the Royal Taoist Temple?!
Everyone gasped, this was a great honor, and some even wanted to promote Su Chen as a Taoist representative of the Tang Empire!
No Taoist can refuse.
Gao Shilian also smiled and waited for Su Chen to receive the order.
However.
Su Chen frowned, hesitated, shook his head and refused, "I won't answer."
Gao Shilian was stunned.
Cheng Yaojin was also dumbfounded.
The smiling old eunuch on the side was also stunned!
Everyone looked shocked and really couldn't understand why Su Chen refused.
Only Sun Simiao was smiling, as if he knew why Su Chen made this decision!
Gao Shilian said: "Master Great Heavenly Master, why do you refuse?!"
Cheng Yaojin was also anxious and said quickly: "Master Tianshi, if you build a royal Taoist temple, it will be a great thing for your Taoist family."
Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that's a good thing."
Cheng Yaojin said: "Then why don't you accept it?"
Su Chen said: "It's not that I don't accept this, but I don't accept becoming the master of the Taoist temple."
He doesn’t want to go. As the master of the royal Taoist temple, he is high above the world and far away from the world. Who will he give to go?!
People, never forget your roots!
Cheng Yaojin was stunned.
Gao Shilian was also dumbfounded.
They didn't expect that Su Chen actually refused to accept the imperial edict because of this.
Gao Shilian hurriedly said: "Master Tianshi, as the master of the Royal Taoist Temple, you are equivalent to the leader of Taoism in the world. Buddhism already has Zhaoqing Temple, and Taoism should also have the Royal Taoist Temple. Such an honor..."
Su Chen said: "Honour is like a floating cloud to me. I prefer to be among mountains and rivers."
Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin were instantly shocked.
The old eunuch also smiled.
Su Chen's move made him feel more at ease when he went back to do business.
The emperor can give him rewards, but Su Chen cannot be greedy. People outside the country must behave like people outside the country.
otherwise.
The emperor probably has to be on guard against him too!
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, the old eunuch hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty has decreed that if the Great Celestial Master does not accept the move to the Royal Taoist Temple, he can also become the temple master. Everything is decided by the Great Celestial Master!
"
Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin were both stunned.
The emperor was too indulgent towards Su Chen!
It's just a matter of fairy rice seeds and God-given achievements. It's definitely not like this. There must be many things that they don't know about.
Su Chen smiled, "If that's the case, Pindao will take it."
After taking all three imperial edicts, Gao Shilian and others planned to leave.
but.
The old eunuch came out again and said, "Your Majesty said that Princess Changle has come of age. I want to marry my daughter to the Celestial Master, but I am afraid that she is not worthy. Therefore, I beg the Celestial Master to accept her as a disciple and make her responsible for the affairs of the royal Taoist temple."
The crowd was in an uproar.
Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin widened their eyes. It was obvious that they did not know about this instruction.
The emperor wanted to marry a daughter, but he was afraid that she would not be worthy.
The next best thing is to become a disciple of Su Chen?!
This operation made them dumbfounded.
Su Chen was also stunned, becoming Li Lizhi's master?
And let her take charge of all the affairs of the Royal Taoist Temple?!
Su Chen thought thoughtfully. It seemed that the emperor had arrangements. This move was very good for him. It was equivalent to adding another level of identity as an imperial teacher!
Su Chen said: "I have a destiny with Princess Changle. I can accept her as a disciple, but it can only be a registered disciple. If I find that she is useless in the future, I will be expelled from the school."
Registered disciple?!
Everyone was numb.
The emperor's most beloved princess could only become a registered disciple!
but.
Old Taiji thought that Su Chen would refuse, and was already prepared to make various promises, but he did not expect to get a yes.
Register as a disciple, just register as a disciple!
He nodded quickly and bowed in agreement.
When everyone thought it was over, the old eunuch said again: "Your Majesty has decreed that the prince pays great attention to filial piety and is willing to hire the Great Heavenly Master as the prince's grand master to teach the prince Li Chengqian how to follow nature."
Wow!
This time, everyone was even more shocked.
Gao Shilian hesitated to speak. He had been competing with Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng for the position of Crown Prince and Grand Master for several years!
However, Li Shimin has been undecided.
Unexpectedly, it was all given to Su Chen directly.
What an honor this is!
In the future, when the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, he will not be the Crown Prince or Grand Master, but the Imperial Master!!
Supreme glory!
Much better than the Chinese bulls who are about to die on the street!!
but.
They didn't dare to fight. After all, it was for Su Chen. Now Su Chen was in great favor, whoever touched him would die!
Su Chen said: "Eunuch, please report back to Your Majesty. I will not obey the imperial edict!"
ah?!
Wuji was confused.
Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin were also dumbfounded.
Even ordinary people know the status and significance of the Crown Prince and Grand Master, why did Su Chen refuse?!
The old eunuch said: "Master Tianshi, you are willing to accept Princess Changle as your disciple, why are you not willing to accept the prince as your student?! This is the prince and grand master, he, he is..."
He originally wanted to use his status as the Crown Prince and Grand Master to persuade him, but when he thought of Su Chen's indifference to fame and fortune just now, he couldn't say anything.
vulgar!
So tacky!
Su Chen said: "Princess Changle is destined to me. I can't see the fate of the prince for the time being. Father-in-law, please come back."
He didn't want to get involved in court disputes, not to mention that Li Chengqian was not the future emperor.
Only a fool would agree!
The high-sounding rejection left the old eunuch speechless, and in the end he didn't even know how to get down the mountain.
It wasn't until he returned to the gate of Chang'an that the old eunuch exclaimed, "The Great Heavenly Master is truly a divine man, and his fame and wealth are like floating clouds."
Then I looked around and saw Gao Shilian nodding in approval, but Cheng Yaojin was not there.
He asked in surprise: "Why doesn't Duke Lu come back?"
Gao Shilian said: "He took a 'gift' and said he wanted to give it to the Great Heavenly Master."
The old eunuch seemed to know what the 'gift' was, so he just smiled and went straight into the city to resume his life!
Yunyuan Mountain, Hualong Temple.
The envoys have left, but the villagers have no intention of leaving yet.
When Su Chen saw this, he was very happy and waited for them to ask for the fortune.
As expected, several people wanted to come forward to ask for signatures, but were pushed away by Cheng Yaojin.
Seeing that Su Chen was a little unhappy, Cheng Yaojin quickly smiled and said: "Master Tianshi, I, Old Cheng, have a gift for you."
Su Chen asked: "What is it?"
Cheng Yaojin struck back, and someone immediately delivered a large brocade box.
From a distance, Su Chen smelled the smell of blood.
Su Chen said: "Three animals and six animals?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "It's a beast."
Many villagers gathered around to watch the fun.
Then Cheng Yaojin directly opened the lid of the brocade box, which immediately frightened the surrounding villagers and made them crawl backwards.
Some of the timid ones just went down the mountain!
Su Chen looked at it and his cheeks twitched.
All I saw were nine disembodied heads on the brocade box, with blood stains on them. It was obvious that they had only died not long ago.
Cheng Yaojin said smugly: "Master Tianshi, these are the few villains I supervised to kill this morning, and sent them to have a drink with Tianshi."
