Chapter 655 Xuanzangs Letter

Such a simple thing was so heart-wrenching that the county prince's conversation was really unique, and everyone present was talking about it.

He had no choice but to rely on Li Shimin, the name of Tian Khan, to calm the hearts of these county magistrates. Zhang Yang secretly sighed in his heart, Tian Khan is quite useful.

Especially Tian Khan, who worked hard to govern, such an example is very suitable for attracting people's hearts.

Zhang Yang also said to the crowd: "The experience of building Lishan is the masses. The masses are the foundation for everything we can achieve. Taifu Temple hopes that you can cooperate. Firstly, we can unite the masses to work together towards a goal. Secondly, we hope that you can

We can also truly reach out to the masses.”

After saying this, the scene is finished.

This is the only use of my county prince, so I will leave the rest to Shangguan Yi to arrange.

Zhang Yang walked out of this house. He actually didn't want to say these words, but he, the Marquis of Lishan County, had to come out to meet them in cooperation with the counties. Only by meeting these people in person could they feel Lishan's sincerity.

Future cooperation will also be smoother.

If we want to cooperate with them on crop diversity, Taifu Temple will of course have to take care of farming.

There will be more cooperation in the future, that’s for next time.

Shangguan Yi is a very smart person. He knows that he cannot give too much to these villages and counties at once. Lishan can show sincerity, but they also need to show their own position.

In this way, we will deepen cooperation step by step and even conduct screening.

How many of these county magistrates can be trusted? Those who can complete it may be only a few.

This is related to the ability of the local county magistrate.

Taifu Temple will not ban these county magistrates just because this matter cannot be handled well. Whether they can retain their position as county magistrates is a matter for the court and has nothing to do with Lishan.

Even if there are only three or two county magistrates left to cooperate in the end, that would be enough.

The road must be walked step by step and cannot be achieved overnight. Li Tai rashly conducted experiments on steam engines despite insufficient theory, which led to failure. This is a lesson learned from the past.

Lishan is not in a hurry, this matter can be dealt with slowly.

After seeing off these county magistrates, Zhang Yang received another letter from the Ministry of Rites. The letter was written by Xu Jingzong. It recorded Monk Xuanzang's words and deeds in the Western Regions. Now Xuanzang has left the Anxi Protectorate.

From Xuanzang's point of view, he did not return to Chang'an voluntarily, but was captured by the officers and soldiers.

And clues can be inferred from some rumors and historical records in history.

And this monk also wrote a letter to Tian Khan.

As for the content of the letter, one can only ask the Khan himself.

This monk left the Tang Dynasty, traveled to the Western Regions, and became famous among the countries in the Western Regions.

After learning that Sha Monk did not exist, Zhang Yang lost interest in this monk Xuanzang.

If you want to travel far, it would be best to be able to improve and make up for the lack of information in the Western Regions, or maybe become the second Zhang Qian.

But Xuanzang was not as good as Zhang Qian after all. Zhang Qian came out of seclusion for the sake of the Han Dynasty.

Xuanzang left seclusion for his own selfish reasons.

There is a big difference between selfless people and selfish people.

Zhang Yang burned the letter after reading it. Ironically, it is wrong to judge a person by oneself.

Even if this monk did something for the Tang Dynasty, it would be good, but the fact is that apart from his devotion to Buddha, this man has nothing useful to give to the country.

Perhaps he never thought about contributing to the country.

Youdao was the reason why the Tang Dynasty was so powerful. It was because of the power of the Tang Dynasty that this monk was able to travel unhindered outside the customs.

Zhang Yang nodded and sighed. Xuanzang was coming back. He had already left the Anxi Protectorate. According to his journey, he should be in Shazhou at the moment. Under the escort of officers and soldiers, he could return to Guanzhong in less than half a month.

Li Tai mentioned several times that he would kill this monk who came back from Tianzhu to seek Buddhist scriptures, but now it has become a joke.

Two days later, a group of officers and soldiers sent something. Monk Xuanzang had someone send it from Shazhou. The object was a glazed stone.

This glazed stone is about the size of a fist, and there are many rocks attached to it. It seems to be naturally formed when it fits together.

"Is Monk Xuanzang trying to please your husband?" Li Yue asked curiously, "But the quality of this glazed stone is not as good as the one made by my husband himself."

What happened was that there were many monks in Chang'an City waiting for Xuanzang's return.

After Xuanzang left the Anxi Protectorate, many monks went to greet him outside the Hexi Corridor.

A monk found Xuanzang and told him about the changes in Guanzhong. He even mentioned Lishan Mountain. Naturally, there were rumors about the glazed top of the hot spring.

Zhang Yang nodded and replied: "Xuan Zang is telling me that colored glaze is not uncommon and there are many outside the customs. He is saying that I am not a very good person and am just a mysterious person."

"What a disgusting monk, how dare you arrange your brother-in-law like this." Gao Yang slapped the table, "When he returns to the palace, he will be beaten to death by his father."

Qinghe advised in a low voice: "It's better not to disturb my father."

Li Zhi also nodded heavily, "Sister Huang is right."

Zhang Yang was more concerned about what kind of letter Xuanzang wrote to Li Shimin and how the Heavenly Khan wanted to treat him.

Today is the day for Li Zhi, Xiao Hui and Xiao Wu, so these troubles should not bother you.

A woman's haircut ceremony was not as solemn as a man's, but Li Yue planned to have a good one and even sent tea eggs to every household in the village.

After all, Her Royal Highness's disciple has reached adulthood.

Li Zhi and Xu Hui are fifteen years old, and Xiao Wu is one year older, so it doesn't hurt to have hair extensions together.

The palace sent someone to inquire. Xu Xiaode and his wife also came to Lishan early. The warrior Xun Ben was in the village, and there was someone in the palace who was in charge of the ceremony.

The visitors are from Guanglu Temple and Zongzheng Temple.

Looking at the visitor, Zhang Yang felt that he looked familiar.

Looking at the adoring look on his face, he looked even more familiar.

Take a closer look. Isn’t this Tang Jian’s son Tang Guan?

"County Marquis!" Tang Guan, who was wearing the official uniform of Guanglu Temple, was about to bow and salute. He wiped his tears and said: "County Marquis, I finally see you again."

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Tang, long time no see. How are you doing?"

At first, he tricked this man into reporting on his own father and Yan Shigu. Now that he thinks about it, he feels a little regretful.

Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Tang, why did you go to Guanglu Temple?"

Tang Guan wiped his tears and said, "It is said that my father has been demoted back to his hometown. My brother interceded with Zhongshu Sheng. Although he said that he had no merit, my father has been treating the villagers well these years. This matter has been spread to His Majesty's ears. I am thinking about it.

My father had made meritorious service back then, so he was at least given an official position, and now he is the supervisor of Guanglu Temple."

Tang Guan's elder brother was Tang Shanshi, who worked in Zhongshu Province. At first, he met him because of the prince's affairs, but later he only met him a few times because he had to go to Zhongshu Province.

It seems that I don't have much contact with Tang Jian's family. I always feel that it is more like a mismatch in the horoscopes and a conflict in destiny.

Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "Brother Tang, please also host the hairpin ceremony for our three disciples from Lishan."

Tang Guan still had a look of resentment on his face, "Why didn't I write any more books after Diary of a Madman?"

Holding his forehead in distress, this was the disadvantage of having too many acquaintances in the court. Resisting the urge to sew this guy's mouth shut, Zhang Yang sighed solemnly, "Brother Tang, after you finish presiding over the hairpin ceremony, how about we talk about old times?"

?”

"That's fine, that's fine." Tang Guan nodded repeatedly.

Li Xiaogong and Li Yuan were present, and a simple hairpin ceremony officially began.

Zhang Yang and Li Yue quietly watched the ceremony.

Li Zhi, Xu Hui and Xiao Wu washed their hands together and knelt down to let their elders comb their hair.

Get up again and wash your hands and dry them.

The officials of Guanglu Temple presented Luopa and hairpins and said congratulations.

Elderly maids sent from the palace comb and add hairpins to the hairdressers.

The three of them used this to salute their elders. Since His Majesty and the Queen were away, Li Zhi first saluted to Chang'an City and then to her imperial grandfather.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded, and Li Lizhi saluted the emperor's sister and brother-in-law again.

After the ceremony, wine is served.

Xiao Wu and Xu Hui returned to their parents, and the next step was the hearing, where parents and elders had to admonish.

However, Li Yuan doted on her granddaughter, so she did not warn her.

Li Yue held Li Zhi's hand, while Xiao Wu and Xu Hui stood between their parents.

Li Zhi stood between the imperial sister and her brother-in-law, listening to the congratulations of the officials of Guanglu Temple again, and a hair-raising ceremony was completed.

Zhang Yang whispered: "Daughter-in-law, you didn't have a haircut ceremony back then."

Li Yue looked at Li Zhi who ran towards Grandpa Huang, "Li Zhi is a direct descendant, so she is naturally different from me."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's a pity."

"What's the pity? The fireworks my husband showed me are the best gift for hair extensions."

The couple looked at each other and smiled, and after the ceremony, they had to entertain the guests.

Zhang Yang couldn't stand Tang Guan's nagging and kept toasting to him. The wine in Lishan was very strong and made him drunk easily.

After getting him drunk, he was sent back.

He brought three disciples back to Lishan Mountain. The three of them wore the same undershirt, and Li Lizhi was the tallest among the three.

I don't know if it is because of the words and deeds given to her by her daughter-in-law. After these two years of teaching, Li Lizhi's eyes are sharper than those of women of the same age, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, just like her father.

Among her younger brothers and sisters, she has a sense of calmness and self-reliance. Naturally, a group of children in the family listen to her, the royal sister.

Xu Hui, on the other hand, is relatively gentle and well-bred as a girl from a scholarly family. She pays more attention to her words and deeds now, and her bright eyes are very confident. This is the temperament created by her knowledge.

She is the most knowledgeable and capable of learning among the three.

When Xiao Wu returned to Lishan Mountain, he took off his cloth shoes. It seemed that the shoes did not fit his feet. This girl's aura was weaker than that of Li Qing, but sharper than that of Xu Hui.

This was the day of Hairpin Ceremony. When Princess Changle came of age, she was registered in Zongzheng Temple and Zongzheng Temple sent many congratulatory gifts to Lishan Mountain.

Li Shimin said he would come to visit Li Zhi in a few days.

On the second day after the haircut ceremony, Zhang Yang took them to practice archery outside the workshop.

The three little girls drew their bows together and aimed at the target in the distance. The arrows shot out, Xu Hui missed the target, Li Lizhi at least had the arrow on the target, and Xiao Wu did well and was already close to the red heart.

Zhang Yang held the scroll in his hand and said, "Let's do it again."

Xiao Wu took a deep breath and was not convinced.

The three of them, wearing traditional Chinese skirts, set their bows and arrows together and shot at the target.

Another arrow shot out. Zhang Yang looked up and saw the same result as before, and said: "Continue."

Finally, all three arrows hit their respective targets.

In addition to learning arithmetic and archery, the aunts began to teach them knife and sword skills.

The younger brothers and sisters were watching. Princess Dongyang and Qinghe were reluctant, "Brother-in-law, we also want to learn."

Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and said, "It will be fine when you all also do the hairpin ceremony."

Dongyang whispered: "I really want to grow up quickly."

Qinghe also nodded heavily, "Yeah."

Chang'an sent many congratulatory gifts, especially the luminous pearl sent by Li Shimin. Zhang Yang remembered that he had seen this luminous pearl in the emperor's treasury before, and it was the largest of the three.

On the fifth day after the ceremony, Li Shimin and the Queen finally arrived.

The queen saw that the princes and princesses had grown a lot, especially Gao Yang and Dong Yang, who had gained weight.

Your Majesty and the Queen are very satisfied with the current situation of the children.

Zhang Yang was sitting by the Huaqing Pool. When he saw His Majesty talking to Li Zhi, he walked towards him.

"Your Majesty, the haircut ceremony went well."

Li Shimin sat down after hearing this, "I know, but the government was discussing the Uighurs at that time, so I couldn't be distracted."

"National affairs are important, this is what we should do. It's a career." Zhang Yang poured him tea.

Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said, "The clan heard that Li Zhi had already had her haircut and came of age, and then talked about her marriage."

Zhang Yang shook the fan in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Lizhi is our disciple of Lishan. According to Lishan's rules, men and women can only marry when they are twenty years old."

After staring at this boy for a long time and seeing that his expression did not change, Li Shimin smiled sadly, "Now all the children are thinking about you as a brother-in-law. They will listen to you, but they may not listen to me."

These are the words spoken by the emperor as a father. In terms of the education of his children, this father feels guilty.

Zhang Yang added some tea to him and said, "Your Majesty is joking. When I was a child, I got into trouble and my parents scolded me in front of others. In fact, I know that my parents were also very guilty in their hearts. They were busy with their careers but did not discipline me well. I want to come here."

This feeling is the same as His Majesty’s.”

"I am also a first-time parent with no experience. My daughter is only two years old. There are certain things that I try to do my best. I can learn some experiences. Whether it is right or wrong, this is what I should learn from."

"There are too many things in this world that cannot be done perfectly. Everyone is born in a mortal body and everyone is the same."

Li Shimin looked deeply at Zhang Yang and said nothing for a long time.

He took a sip of tea and said again: "Your Majesty is their father. Is the clan discussion important?"

After saying this, Zhang Yang looked very calm.

Li Shimin did not answer this, but took out a letter from the hand of the prince beside him, "This is the letter sent by Xuanzang. Now he is still stranded in Shazhou. I know that you asked the Ministry of Rites to find out about this monk a long time ago."

Traces, now you should also read this letter."

Zhang Yang smiled and took the letter, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"After reading this letter, I feel more and more that Monk Xuanzang is so arrogant that he dares to discuss your affairs and hopes that I will punish you."
