Chapter 652 The Return of Tang Seng's Master and Disciple
"Dongdong."
Just as Chen Hao was thinking about the plot of Journey to the West, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Chen Hao said.
Hearing Chen Hao's orders, the man pushed the door and walked into the house. It was the housekeeper again. He said, "Your Highness, the holy monk Xuanzang and his disciples have arrived in Chang'an City. Your Majesty asks you to discuss the welcome ceremony."
The housekeeper is named Zhao Zhong. Even Li Ke's mother, Concubine Yang, would call him Brother Zhao when no one was left. This person was saved by Concubine Yang that year, and then he sold the life to Concubine Yang and was loyal to Li Ke and his son.
Moreover, this person has both civil and military skills, and his cultural level is no less than that of the chief Shi Quan of the King of Wu's Palace. His superb martial arts are even more comparable to some powerful generals.
Li Shimin cherished his talent and wanted to recruit him as an official, but he politely refused. What he wished in his life was just to assist Li Ke in becoming a wise king.
"It's coming very quickly. I will clean up and go to the palace." Chen Hao waved his hand and said.
"But..." Zhao Zhong wanted to speak but stopped, as if he wanted to say something.
Seeing his expression, Chen Hao shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhao, you grew up watching me. I trust you the most in this palace. If you have anything, just say it and don't hide it."
"Okay, I will say it." Zhao Zhong said: "Welcome the Holy Monk back to the court is a big deal. Your Majesty has not yet determined who to welcome him. I also asked Your Highness not to compete with the Prince and the others for this opportunity to welcome the Holy Monk."
As Zhao Zhong said, he looked at Chen Hao. He understood the character of the King of Wu best. Although he was smart, he was extremely conceited and did not listen to advice.
"What does Uncle Zhao mean?" Chen Hao did not say whether to fight or not, but asked Zhao Zhong directly what it meant.
Zhao Zhong said: "I and Lord Cen Wenben have the same view. Your Highness should not show off again. It is better to be patient for the time being and let the prince fight with the King of Wei. One of them is backed by Hou Junji and the other has acquired a large number of civil servants. They all have the strength that cannot be underestimated. If this fight continues, they will definitely cause trouble. Maybe some chaos will arise. Your Highness's chance will come at that time."
Chen Hao nodded and said, "Are you sure there will be trouble?"
Zhao Zhong said: "Hou Junji is a man with a strong army and is ambitious. He is the father of the prince's concubine. He will never allow the prince to lose power. It would be fine if the prince could suppress the King of Wei. If the King of Wei's faction gained the upper hand, Hou Junji might......"
Zhao Zhong did not continue to say the following words, but Chen Hao saw what he meant. He felt that Hou Jun would rebel.
"Uncle Zhao, you are really a talent." Chen Hao patted Zhao Zhong's shoulder with appreciation. This person is very wise and could have expected that Hou Junji might rebel in the future. It is not simple.
Unfortunately, Li Ke was stubborn and too conceited, so he fell into a disadvantage in the competition with the King of Wei and the Crown Prince.
"I dare not ask Your Highness to praise you. As long as you can listen to me, I will be content." Zhao Zhong bowed and said.
Chen Hao spread his hands and said, "This time I've heard from Uncle Zhao, I won't argue anymore, they will do whatever they like."
"Uh!" Zhao Zhong was a little surprised and wondered when will Your Highness be so easy to talk to?
Chen Hao smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao thinks that I have changed a little, right? I won't talk about it in detail with Uncle Zhao at this time, so I'll talk about it later."
Chen Hao was not afraid that Zhao Zhong would doubt anything, it didn't matter, it was mainly because there were gods and ghosts in this world. He said that he met a god in his dream and passed on his supreme magic method, and Zhao Zhong would believe it.
After all, there are too many bizarre things in this world. For example, Wei Zheng was not only an official in the Tang Dynasty, but also an official in the Heavenly Court. The Dragon King of Jinghe was beheaded by him.
Moreover, there are many stories of adventures circulating in this world, and there are such bizarre things, so mortals in this world have strong acceptance.
"Okay, my husband, let me go and prepare the car." Zhao Zhong nodded and stepped down.
"Since the master and disciple of Tang Sanzang returned from the sutra, it proves that there are still three hundred years left before Wutian. During these three hundred years, I have to prepare well. Uncle Zhao can train him well." After Zhao Zhong left, Chen Hao murmured to himself.
"Your Highness, the carriage is ready." Zhao Zhong soon came to inform him again.
"Let's go!" Chen Hao said, then walked out of the royal palace, got on the carriage prepared by Zhao Zhong, and galloped into the palace.
The Wu Palace is not far from the palace. After about ten minutes of the carriage, we arrived at the palace in Chang'an City.
When Chen Hao arrived at the gate of the palace, King Li Tai of Wei, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Cen Wenben and others also rushed to the gate of the palace.
It was evening at this time, and it was about to get dark. Li Shimin still summoned important officials to discuss matters about Tang Sanzang’s master and disciple, which shows Li Shimin’s emphasis on Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.
"You go back first." Chen Hao ordered the coachman and jumped out of the carriage.
If it were Li Ke, who had seen so many important officials standing in front of the palace gate, would definitely say hello to them eagerly, without asking them to stand on their side, at least they could gain a favor.
But now Chen Hao would not do this. He was just a mortal. Even Wei Zheng was not taken seriously by him. Besides, he didn't care about the throne, so he would have any hello to them.
After he jumped out of the carriage, he walked into the palace without saying a word.
"Huh." Changsun Wuji stroked his beard gently. He noticed that Chen Hao seemed to be a little wrong. In the past, he always greeted him very enthusiastically. In the morning, he invited him to drink at Xinghualou, but he refused. His current expression seemed to be like a different person.
The most surprising thing was Cen Wenben. If Li Ke had seen him in the past, he would have been unable to help but sarcastic to him, but now he hasn't even looked at him more.
"Have you understood it?" Cen Wenben felt a little relieved. He felt that Chen Hao was mature and did not disappoint his painstaking efforts.
This is always the case in the world. You don’t want to provoke others, but others are willing to provoke you.
Seeing Chen Hao's style changed drastically, Li Tai showed a contemptuous smile on his slightly fat face and shouted: "Third brother, don't be so anxious, the fourth brother has something to say."
Seeing Li Tai calling him, Chen Hao slowly turned his head and said lightly: "What do you want to say to me, Fourth brother?"
"Hey, it's so calm?" Li Tai originally thought that Chen Hao would be furious. After all, Cen Wenben defected to him today. Who doesn't know that Cen Wenben has always supported Li Ke, but now he has turned to support him. Li Tai. This feeling of being betrayed is not good. He thinks that Chen Hao will definitely be extremely angry. His purpose of calling Chen Hao was to tease Chen Hao.
"Uh, I have nothing to say. I just heard that the third brother drank a lot of wine today. I was afraid that the third brother would hurt his body, so I specially reminded him." Li Tai said with a smile, and his scheming was quite deep.
