Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Sujiazhuang,
The queen played cards with Chang Le and Xiao Si, while Xue Ji and Shangguan Yun went shopping.

The three of Wei Zheng were playing mahjong in Zhuangzi.

Su Yu and Li Shimin were left talking in the yard.

After chatting for a while, Li Shimin remembered that Xuanzang was going to Tianzhu yesterday.

"Brother, this time, Li Er has a question I want to ask."

After Li Shimin finished his milk tea, he pulled a chair and lay down next to Su Yu.

The two brothers basked in the sun, squinting their eyes.

Li Shimin feels that he enjoys the most and is most comfortable here, and he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Anyway, with Su Yu offering advice, he just needs to remember it.

"What's the matter?"

Su Yu said.

Li Shimin turned over and lay on his side.

"There was a monk who wanted to learn scriptures."

Li Shimin said.

Monks to learn from?

Su Yu quickly understood that the Buddhist monks in the Zhenguan period were Xuanzang traveling westward to learn Buddhist scriptures.

But it's not right, it stands to reason that Xuanzang went to Zhenguan for three years, why did he only appear now?

Is it really changed by my mouth?

The slight flapping of a butterfly's wings can bring about a storm.

What's more, my mouth is not as simple as a butterfly's wings, it's all about state affairs.

"Xuanzang learned Buddhist scriptures very well, is there anything wrong?"

Su Yu said.

Li Shimin was lying in his heart: Sure enough, this kid knew that he knew it was Xuanzang before I told him.

"Brother Xian, do you think Li Er should let him go?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Of course we should go."

Su Yu said firmly.

Su Yu absolutely supported Xuanzang's journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures.

If he doesn't go, there will be no "Da Tang Western Regions".

If Xuanzang hadn't written "Da Tang Western Regions", Wu Chengen would not have been able to write "Journey to the West".

Without Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West", elementary school students would not watch TV dramas during the summer and winter vacations.

Water Margin and Three Kingdoms Red Chamber, these three are not suitable for primary school students.

If there is no Journey to the West, the TV series will be overwhelmingly screened.

Li Shimin was taken aback by Su Yu's straightforward answer.

He knew that Su Yu didn't like Buddhism, so he sent Bianjikeng to Fusang last time.

By the way, the Buddhist gate was brought into the pit, and all the temple fields were taken back.

Li Shimin's next step is to let the monks return to vulgarity, marry those who should get married, and farm those who should farm.

At this time, Su Yu actually supported Xuanzang's journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures?

"Brother, Li Er is actually very contradictory."

"Nowadays, the population of Tang Dynasty is not large enough, but there are hundreds of thousands of monks in the world."

"If Xuanzang were allowed to go west to learn scriptures and bring back the scriptures from Tianzhu, more people would become monks, and fewer people would farm and pay taxes."

"So Li Er is unwilling to let Xuanzang go."

Li Shimin said.

"However, Li Er is very strange about the situation in the Western Regions, especially in Tianzhu."

"If someone goes for a walk and explores the geography, customs and customs of the Western Regions and Tianzhu, it will be good for Datang."

Li Shimin half supported his body and said.

Li Shimin's ambitions are not limited to the Central Plains.

Before meeting Su Yu, Li Shimin thought about occupying the Central Plains and destroying the surrounding small countries would be enough.

But in recent years, the Tang Dynasty has a strong army and a strong treasury. He wondered whether Ashina Helu in the Western Regions should be cleaned up.

Moreover, the dream of conquering the world and truly realizing that the land illuminated by the sun and the moon, and wherever the rivers and rivers go, is the king's land is not so far away.

Even if Su Yu doesn't come out of the mountain, it will be no problem to make suggestions when he becomes a son-in-law.

Su Yu said: "Then let Xuanzang go west, let him write down the situation in the Western Regions,

Write a book "Da Tang Western Regions", and write down all the mountains, rivers, cities, products, and customs of the surrounding countries along the way. "

"Let him bring it back, and then Li Er will know what the Western Regions look like."

In Su Yu's view, it doesn't matter whether he has obtained the scriptures or not.

The most important thing is to write "Da Tang Western Regions", otherwise Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" has no material.

When Li Shimin heard this, he exclaimed in surprise: "My brother is really a good strategy, but that Xuanzang seems to be very stubborn."

"How can Li Er persuade him to write "Da Tang Western Regions"?"

Monks are not ordinary people.

This ordinary person, if the emperor asks him to do something, he must be crazy.

If you are ready to get promoted and make a fortune, you will have a bright future.

Monks are different, real monks disdain the worldly money and seek Buddha wholeheartedly.

Xuanzang seemed to be that kind of person.

It may be very difficult for Li Er to let him do something.

Su Yu laughed and said: "It's simple, you tell Li Er, all you need is this."

Su Yu explained the plan in detail, and Li Shimin was fascinated by it.

"So that's how it is, my virtuous brother is really a wonderful strategy to bring peace to the world."

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"Old Li, what are you talking about?"

"The second half of the sentence should be about losing my wife and losing my army."

Su Yu laughed.

Li Shimin was taken aback, and asked: "Why does the second half of the sentence say that you lost your wife and lost your army? What's the source?"

This sentence is from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is normal for Li Shimin not to know.

"Don't ask so many questions, you know it."

Su Yu smiled, and did not explain if the explanation was not clear.

Li Shimin is also knowledgeable. He understands many things that he can't understand, so he doesn't ask.

After solving the problem of Xuanzang's westward journey, Li Shimin lay back, thinking secretly.

Shouldn't I have a word with Su Yu to find out what's going on?

"My dear brother, I heard that the place in the south of the Yangtze River is lively, and Yangzhou is even more prosperous."

"Brother, are you interested in going for a walk?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Not interested, don't want to go out."

Su Yu flatly refused.

Li Shimin smiled.

Being rejected is expected. It seems that the time has not come, so let's wait for a while.

At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.

Shangguan Yun barged in, looking very flustered.

"Shopkeeper Li, son, something happened."

Su Yu got up, he guessed what happened.

"where is it?"

Su Yu asked.

"Thirty miles east of the city, Sanqing Temple."

Shangguan Yun muttered.

Li Shimin also guessed it, and hurriedly persuaded Su Yu, saying: "My dear brother, don't be impulsive, I will find Li Er to solve it."

Li Shimin didn't care too much, turned over, put on his shoes, and shouted: "How fierce!"

He Meng heard it outside and came in immediately.

"The shopkeeper!"

"Let's go back to Chang'an!"

Li Shimin didn't care to greet the queen and the others, and was about to go back.

Su Yu looked cold and said, "Old Li, tell Li Er to bring me back unscathed, otherwise, I will destroy the eldest grandson's family and leave no one behind!"

The queen came out from inside, not knowing what was going on.

Li Shimin scolded Changsun Wuji for bad things in his heart.

"My dear brother, don't worry, I'll go right away."

Li Shimin and He Meng rode horses and galloped to Sanqing Temple in the east of Chang'an City.

Su Yu lay on the chair, closed his eyes and did not speak.

Shangguan Yun didn't dare to leave and guarded Su Yu.

If Su Yu leaves Sujiazhuang at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji will be full of children.

Li Shimin galloped wildly on his horse, but He Meng felt a little unable to catch up.

The two horses, galloping like lightning, arrived at Sanqingguan, thirty miles east of the city.

The place is remote, there are few pilgrims, and there are soldiers around.
