As for the other brothers and sisters, they disliked the boredom of talking about Buddha, and had already gone to play in the flower forest outside the hall from afar.

The princesses took advantage of this opportunity to have a good look at the monk named Bian Ji.

When the three of them moved to Li Shimin and Prince Li Zhi, they happened to hear the center of the topic they were talking about, and it was on the monk Bianji.

This immediately seduced the curiosity of the princesses, and they all held their ears and listened carefully to their father's next question.

After Li Shimin and Daoyue made a basic move, it is naturally impossible for him to just leave, exchange greetings, and then go there. This is also the routine of a country leader going out.

But the young monk following Dao Yue today was too conspicuous, which made Li Shimin ask more questions with interest.

Because, today I knew that Li Shimin was coming, all the monks in Puguang Temple, one of them, wore the most luxurious and solemn dresses to welcome him.

Only Gu Zheng is the exception.

He was dressed in the Sutra Pavilion at all, and he was even more shabby than he wore on his usual occasions.

Today, Gu Zheng actually chose the dress of a monk, wearing a monk's robe, with no more decorations or even more fabrics.

He stood behind Dao Yue cleanly, but because of his natural appearance, he formed an extremely huge contrast.

This phenomenon made Li Shimin very interested.

It was like a piece of the most precious piece of uncensored jade, thrown on a broken silk scarf that my mother had used for twenty years as a carrier, with a pity of wasting her resources.

So Li Shimin actually asked actively: "The little monk behind Master Daoyue is the only disciple of the master, the little disciple of the Dharma name Bianji, right?"

Daoyue was also very willing to give this opportunity to his disciples. He smiled and turned to look at Gu Zheng, indicating that he could actively answer His Majesty’s questions.

Gu Zheng, who received the master's prompt, was not polite. He sang a monk and bowed softly: "Report to Your Majesty, I am Bian Ji."

"Oh? You say that all the monks today come to see His Majesty the Emperor of the dynasty. Why are you the only one wearing a ragged shirt?"

"Do you think the identity of His Majesty the Emperor is not so precious that you can treat it solemnly?"

When Gu Zheng heard Li Shimin's half-joking words, he was not afraid at all.

Joke, when I was a monk playing with you, you... you were all skeletons, old guy, who is afraid of you?

So the monk with a silver plate face smiled slightly and returned: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the little monk is now doing the level of spiritual cultivation."

"The Buddha said that practice is the great way and cannot be disturbed by any external causes, external objects, or outsiders."

"I am a mortal monk, harassing the world, and the seven emotions and six desires are all passing clouds and smoke, not entering my heart or my body. Your Majesty is still one of the people who are equal to all living beings in my heart."

"So why does Your Majesty's identity affect my original process of cultivating my mind?"

"If I put on gorgeous clothes and act respectfully because of Your Majesty, it would have ruined my skills and damaged my ascetic practice."

"So, just because I came to see Your Majesty with such a dress, it further illustrates my pious heart towards Your Majesty."

"It's just a normal mind."

"I think that your Majesty also hopes that more people like little monks will appear in our dynasty, surround our dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and protect our dynasty for thousands of years, right?"

When Li Shimin heard Gu Zheng's words, he was surprised at first. This monk was not very old and was very brave. He actually placed his status as equal to the common people.

But when he heard it, he was surprised and happy again. Although this kid kept moving himself closer to the great man, he couldn't resist and was sincerely complimenting his dynasty.

The old emperor, who was slutted to the itchy place, was so happy that he was so sad.

"Hahaha, what an interesting monk, who is quite insightful. No wonder your master praised you without any effort, saying that you are the reincarnation of a Buddhist son."

"I don't know what you're doing now?"

After hearing the emperor's question, Gu Zheng felt relieved. The slut of pretending to be an ascetic has succeeded. Then he must calm down his academic idiots and focus on Buddha's mind.

Therefore, after Li Shimin's inquiry, a fanatical expression appeared on Gu Zheng's face.

"The little monk is now sorting out and translating the Great Bodhisattva Sutra, which is one of the most complete scriptures in the Buddhist scriptures brought back by Master Xuanzang at the time."

"A total of twenty volumes are written in Sanskrit. I am translating and organizing them according to the understanding and pragmatic concepts of our people in the East of the Tang Dynasty."

"After all, in the Buddhist scriptures of Western Regions, the truth is ultimately used by our country and people."

The above Tao, only by removing the dross of these things can we fool the people well. No, we are educating the people.

Li Shimin still admires such a monk who is dedicated to studying.

He particularly believes in one sentence, that is, each performs its own duties.

As a monk, your job is to praise Buddhism well and study Buddhist scriptures. Isn’t it just for you to support Buddhists in the court?

It is a good idea for a young man to not be confused by desire. It is not a good idea to stick to his true intentions.

Li Shimin, who was very happy, waved his hand and added a valuable offering to Puguang Temple.

When he was about to leave the temple gate and just stepped out of the threshold, he seemed to have thought of something, pointed in the direction of Gu Zheng, and said a few words: "You are not bad."

"A few days ago, Master Xuanzang's messenger had handed me the letter he arrived in Chang'an today to me."

"What he asked in his letter is that I hope that I will send several people who are proficient in Buddhism as assistants to translate the new Buddhist scriptures that have come from the west."

"And he compiled what he saw and heard when he went to obtain the scriptures. The title of the book was tentatively designated as "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty. Records and Praises."

"Since your understanding and Buddhist principles are praised by Master Daoyue, I will recommend it to Master Xuanzang for you and be his assistant."

"You must show your skills well by then, don't lose face to me."

After saying that, Li Shimin waved his sleeves casually and came down the stairs without looking back. He stepped on the dragon chariot, waved his hand and left with a vast crowd.

Only the people from Puguang Temple who were full of gratitude were left, and they sang Buddha together.

Thank you for the opportunity.

Master Xuanzang had a decree, and the total number of assisted disciples who followed him would not exceed nine. Now, among the monks in Puguang Temple, the one who was the first to bear the brunt of it is a great honor.

Although it was Xinshi, his waist was harder after speaking.

Senior Brother Bian Ji, good example.

The monks left happily. Princess Gaoyang was not in a bad mood on the princess's chariot and horses.

She withdrew her eyes behind the curtain with some hatred from the gate of Puguang Temple, Gu Zheng, who had been looking around in the distance, took a few deep breaths before calming down her spirit in her heart.

I was afraid that other brothers and sisters would hear it, Gao Yang angrily combed his nails and muttered in a low voice: "What's the matter with such a beautiful and charming person I finally fell in love with when my father was free and had nothing to do?"

"It was originally just an ordinary monk, and it would be very convenient to succeed?"

"Now, he is appointed as the help of Xuanzang, who wrote Buddhist scriptures. There are too many difficulties in starting the game."

Speaking of this, Princess Gaoyang bit her nails as if she was anxious.

"What are the reasons for me to see this debate alone? If there were no outsiders, I wouldn't believe it. According to my charm, there are still people who can't stand?"

Gao Yang was thinking, but he didn't know whether it was because of the chauffeur driving ahead or because the road was bumpy and bumpy, Princess Gao Yang's horse was bumped up by a stone pit. Gao Yang, who was sitting on it, suddenly bit her proudly maintained nails due to the external impact.

The blood suddenly oozed out through the cracked nails, making Gao Yang, who was in a bad mood, feel furious.

She shouted at the Hoyi guard who was subordinate to her outside the car and said loudly: "What's the matter? How to catch the car?"

"Don't serve me like this lazy slave. When you return home, you will drag it to the princess's inner servant and leave it to him to deal with it!"

The guards who were subordinate to the princesses replied inquiring: "Here!"

When the servant who heard Princess Gaoyang shouting was trembling, he didn't dare to make a rebuttal.

The convoy drove to the gate of Chang'an Palace. Today's Zen parade was truly over.

If there is something wrong, follow Li Shimin to the palace to talk to each other. If there is nothing wrong, each will lead the servants and guards to return home.

Gao Yang, who was in a good mood, had to join in such a lively manner, but now he was in a bad mood by such a disturbance. He drove away from the palace gate and returned to the Fang Mansion early as the quietest princesses.
