Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

It's a pity that if Shu An hadn't mentioned the matter before, then this emperor might have asked about his tea and this teahouse.

But now Li Shimin has some difficulties, so he doesn't care about the tea, but is going back to the court to study.

As for the words of Empress Changsun, I didn't go back immediately. After all, I finally met Yafu, so I naturally wanted to chat more.

Naturally, Li Shimin wouldn't stop it, but let Li Tai take good care of Empress Changsun and others.

After the absence of Li Shimin, the atmosphere eased a lot, especially when Li Tai spoke more casually.

"Grandpa An, there is no such calamity in Luoyang."

Li Tai's emotional voice sounded, and there was a trace of exclamation in his words.

"God's will is unpredictable, sometimes fate is like this."

Shu An also sighed and said, after all, after this time, it may take some time for Luoyang to restore its prosperity.

"Grandpa An can predict God's will."

However, regarding Shu An's words, Li Tai had some rebuttals and said, after all, Shu An already existed like a fairy in his heart.

"That's right, Lizhi also thinks Grandpa An is amazing!"

And Li Tai's words seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and Li Zhi also looked at Grandpa An with bright eyes.

Facing the words of the two, Shu An just smiled lightly.

Chapter 735 Together, White Horse History

Although the tea in the tea house is good, there are not many people who can really taste it.

Especially for those who don't have much experience like Empress Changsun, there is no need to say more.

There has been basically no setbacks since birth, and naturally I can't taste the taste of life.

Of course, it is also because the new tea was launched not long ago, and it is still regarded as a drink more often.

After playing around for an hour or two, they finally started to leave, but they didn't eat something in the restaurant outside.

After all, this time the court brought in an imperial cook, even though their skills were not as good as those of the old cooks in the Shu Mansion.

But compared to the restaurants in Luoyang, I don't know how much better it is, so naturally I won't be interested in these restaurants.

Maybe I still had some expectations at the beginning, but after I tried it, I felt a little disgusted.

"I didn't expect to bring Wugou and others with me tomorrow."

In addition, there was something that made Shu An smile bitterly, that is, Li Xiuning, Empress Changsun and others talked about the White Horse Temple.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wugou and the others basically agreed to go together tomorrow, even Shu An was a little weird.

But it should be Li Shimin's fault. After all, because of Luoyang's incident, it means that the next emperor will not be free.

So Empress Changsun wanted to be with them, which is understandable.

"Let's talk together, make it more lively."

Li Xiuning on the side couldn't help showing a smile and said aloud, obviously he also likes lively scenes.

"also may!"

After thinking for a while, Shu An nodded and said, after all, Li Xiuning's background meant that he didn't have many friends.

Even if some of them were considered friends at the beginning, but after that war-torn era, until now, their identities have changed and so on.

The word "friend" is basically one of the few, so there are even fewer people who can get together.

Although the two of them left the tea house a step late, they would probably have arrived here today.

It can be regarded as recharging energy for tomorrow. Of course, Shu An occasionally plays some small games, but few people can see the other side of Duke An Xuan.

After Shu An also left, Wei Qing, the owner of this teahouse, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although An Xuangong and others were talking, Wei Qing still heard some words, and there were some guesses in his heart, so everything was right.

That one should be the emperor, even Wei Qing was under a lot of pressure in his heart.

If this person has some problems, or has some dissatisfaction with the teahouse, then it will be bad.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and it didn't affect anything, but Wei Qing was also puzzled in his heart, and didn't know what Duke An Xuan was talking about.

As for approaching, Wei Qing had no such thought at all, it was already a lucky thing to get to know Duke An Xuan before.

As for that one, his temper is not as good as An Xuangong's, and there are still too many levels of distance, so you must be self-aware.

"It always felt like something was going to happen."

Wei Qing looked at the direction where Shu An and the others left early and murmured softly, this must be the intuition of an old man.

In fact, the same emperor who returned to Luoyang began to gather some people who followed him, as well as some people who were stationed in Luoyang before.

This action made many families in Luoyang start to get nervous, for fear that the emperor would be angered and wanted to do something.

"Your Majesty, we have gathered many people this time to know what's going on."

"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable. I heard that Weibo made a private visit yesterday. Could it be that something has angered me?"

"The children of the family have been restrained for a while, but I didn't expect something to happen."

......

Many families in Luoyang were discussing secretly, but they didn't have the confidence of Taiyuan Wang's to dare to confront the emperor.

Not to mention that as the national strength of the Tang Dynasty increased, these aristocratic families were not fools, so they naturally knew how to choose.

Even this incident caused many families to start self-examination, whether their own family's children caused trouble.

For a while, there was a depressing atmosphere in Chang'an, and even some people began to feel that something was wrong.

It's a pity that this matter has nothing to do with Shu An and the others. They should sleep well and drink well, and wait for tomorrow.

.......

next day

The two carriages drove out from Luoyang, because they were going to the temple, so there was no fanfare.

Amidst the faint gathering of storms in Luoyang, some knowledgeable people in Luoyang were cautious at this time, so naturally they did not pay attention to Shu An and others.

"White Horse Temple is the first ancient temple after Buddhism entered China!"

"It is rumored that in the seventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty stayed in Nangong at night and dreamed of a six-foot-tall golden man with a shining head, who came from the west."

"The next day in the hall to interpret the dream, Dr. Fu Yi said that there is a Buddha in the West, just like in a dream. After that, more than ten people went out to the Western Regions to seek Buddhist scriptures."

........

After arriving at the town where the White Horse Temple was located, Shu An started talking about the White Horse Temple.

To know later generations, this White Horse Temple is a famous tourist attraction, and with its long history, it is completely a holy place for Zen.

Needless to say in this era, we must know that in this era, many famous temples in later generations have just been built, but the White Horse Temple has already had enough historical precipitation.

Of course, speaking of it, the prosperity of Zen has a lot to do with Li Shimin.

Although Li Shimin also suppressed Zen in history, Li Shimin actually believed in Buddhism, especially from the Empress Changsun.

Among them, because of the serious illness of Empress Changsun in history, Li Shimin eliminated many eminent Zen monks.

For example, in Taiyuan, I personally went to Shibi Temple to pay homage to the Zen master, and explained the treasures, and the emperor made offerings to his wife.

He also issued an edict to restore 392 famous ancient temples in the world to pray for the queen. The famous Shanji Temple and Xiuding Temple are listed here.

Of course, it can also be seen that the emperor's affection was deep, and the emperor at that time was in an irrational state.

He didn't even care about suppressing the Zen school. It can be said that Li Shimin suppressed the Zen school with his own hands, but he also supported the Zen school with his own hands.

As for the history above and beyond, there is no need to say more, but I don’t know how many emperors worshiped Buddha.

Fortunately, in this life, Empress Changsun did not have so many twists and turns, so Zen did not get support.

When Shu An was explaining the White Horse Temple, Empress Changsun and the others were also listening, showing a lot of interest on their faces.

Especially the stories about rumors, they were very interested, and Shu An didn't hold back anything.

He had also done some research on Zen, and he still knew a lot, so he began to talk about the rise and fall of the White Horse Temple.

Chapter 736 Traveling, Luoyang Undercurrents

Perhaps in this era there are quite a few people who know about the White Horse Temple, but few of them know better than Shu An.

After all, not many people have studied the White Horse Temple, not to mention that in the era of blockade, some knowledge is only known to the people in this temple.

Shu An's group didn't have much high profile, but they were like ordinary people offering incense.

Naturally, Empress Changsun and the others would not make a big fuss, they also knew that Shu An could be regarded as a member of the Taoist sect.

Although I don't mind coming to the place of Zen, but if it is spread, it may have some influence.

Shu An didn't care much about Zen and Taoism, although he would be more inclined to Taoism, but it didn't hinder him from visiting.

Although there have been several ups and downs, Baima Temple is worthy of being the origin of Zen in China, and it can also be called the ancestral court.

Compared with Taoist temples, it is like the gap between palaces and thatched cottages. Of course, it is not that Shu An belittles Taoism, but in terms of financial resources, Zen is a little bit better.

Had it not been for Li Shimin and Shu An's secret support for the previous match, the Daoist sect would have already left the stage sadly.

There are still quite a few monks in the temple. Compared with some wine and meat monks in later generations, the monks are still very pious now.

As for Shu'an, just take a walk and take a look. The scenery seems to have a lot of artistic conception because of the rendering of this temple.

At this time, many thoughts came to mind, among which under such circumstances, he thought of a poem.

"If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world."

Shu An whispered softly, with a hint of exclamation in his words.

The scenery is different from the scenery, otherwise, no one would run around.

"Benefactor, you have a lot of Buddha nature."

Just at this time, a little novice appeared beside Shu An, saluted and said aloud.

Shu An couldn't help breaking away from his thoughts, and looked at the little monk with a smile on his face.

Shu An still has a good impression of the little novice's handsome appearance.

"Little novice monk, do you know what a Buddha is?"

Shu An couldn't help chuckling and said, after all, it was rare for someone to praise him for his Buddha-nature.

However, this line of poetry comes from a famous Zen master in later generations. How could that Zen master not have Buddha nature.

"The novice monk doesn't understand the Buddha, but he can hear the meaning of Zen in the words of the benefactor."

The little novice shook his head and said aloud, monks don't tell lies, they are very honest about this matter.

Facing this answer, Shu An still nodded his head, this little novice obviously had something to say.

You must know that there are not a few people who lie in the Zen sect, and obviously the little novice is not among them.

It's a pity that although Shu'an has learned about the history of the White Horse Temple, he doesn't know any eminent monks from the White Horse Temple.

However, Shu An felt that this little novice should be able to become an eminent monk in the future.

Anyway, before the grandson Wugou, Li Xiuning and others had finished their tour, Shu An didn't mind chatting with this little novice.

........

When Shu An and others visited the White Horse Temple, the emperor in Luoyang also started to move.

Among them, in order to stabilize the order problem in Luoyang, this time Li Shimin decided to transfer his imperial guards into the city.

You must know that following this emperor to Luoyang, it will not be that simple, after all, Baiqi is only behind the scenes, and obviously the imperial army is still required to participate.

There were even [-] forbidden troops who came here. Of course, the forbidden troops numbered [-] to [-], and [-] was only a part of them.

It's not going to the border area, but Luoyang. In fact, Li Shimin thought it was too much before.

You must know that it has been some years since the Battle of Liaodong, and the Forbidden Army has already begun to change.

The current imperial guards are different from before, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the frontier troops.

After these guards entered Luoyang City, it naturally caused many riots.
