Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Yuan said solemnly: "I've been depressed recently, and the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment are also ineffective. I don't know what advice the master has?"

Yan Fa smiled softly and said: "The Supreme Emperor is suffering from a heart disease. The afflictions of all living beings are boundless, so there are countless ways to cure them. If the afflictions are summed up into [-] kinds, then there are eight ways to cure them." There are as many as [-] kinds. But all paths lead to the same goal, and tracing back to the source, there are actually six methods.”

Li Yuan was very interested immediately and said: "I also invite Master, don't hesitate to teach me!"

Yan Fa stood up and stood slowly.

When Yan Fa walked to the window, a breeze blew, and Yan Fa's monk robe bulged. At this time, Yan Fa had a dignified treasure appearance, the demeanor of an unworldly master.

Yan Fa said slowly in a calm voice: "First, contemplation of impurity, contemplation of impure phenomena can cure greed;"

Li Yuan nodded.

Yan Fa continued: "Secondly, the concept of compassion, contemplating the suffering of all sentient beings, can calm our hatred; thirdly, the concept of karma, observing the cause and effect of life, for example, because of ignorance in the past, reincarnation in this life .Now there is craving and attachment, so there will be birth, old age, sickness and death in the future. Observation of causes and conditions can break through ignorance; Fourth, counting breaths, pay attention to counting your own breaths, count from one to ten, and start again and again, and only count out or in-breath , but not counting in and out at the same time. This kind of practice can cure our scattered minds; fifth, recite the Buddha's name, wisdom, merit and solemn image, can eliminate our karma; sixth, empty contemplation: observe Everything is a combination of causes and conditions, without a self-body, which can break our attachments and obsessions.

Li Yuan asked thoughtfully: "The master thinks, which one should I use?"

Yan Fa smiled and said, "The concept of karma."

Li Yuan asked in surprise, "Why?"

Yan Fa said: "The heart knot of the Supreme Emperor is Your Majesty, your son. He replaced the Supreme Emperor and became the Great Treasure, so the Supreme Emperor has greed and attachment. The poor monk thinks that since the sky shows that your son should be the Great Treasure, The Supreme Emperor should let go of his obsession."

Li Yuan's expression turned cold immediately, he picked up the tea and began to drink it by himself.

Yan Fa and Pei Ji looked at each other.

Pei Ji stepped forward to persuade: "The Supreme Emperor, the master also has a Buddha heart..."

Li Yuan said rather dissatisfied: "From now on, master, you should stop worrying about my personal affairs."

The servant standing on the side listened intently to everyone's answers.

Both Pei Ji and Li Yuan observed the little eunuch from the corner of their eyes.

Li Yuan's eyes flickered with murderous intent.

……

Inside the Xiande Hall, Li Jiancheng looked at the little eunuch who came to report with doubts and said, "Monk? When did Dad start believing in Buddhism?"

The eunuch reported to Li Jiancheng verbatim the conversation between Li Yuan and Yan Fa.

Wei Zheng said: "Whether Taoism is good or Buddhist, they have always advised people to be kind, to cultivate their morality, and to be together with Buddhist disciples, the Supreme Emperor and Buddhist disciples, must be able to resolve the depression in the heart."

Li Jiancheng said: "If the strict law really has such abilities, it might as well let him spend more time with Dad."

Li Anyan said: "I have already told the guards of the palace that if the law is strictly enforced to pay respects to the Supreme Emperor, I will report it to my minister immediately."

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be so troublesome. Give that strict law a goldfish bag and give him the right to enter and leave the palace. Whenever Dad wants to chat with someone, he can let him in."

Fang Xuanling handed a stack of documents to Li Jiancheng and said, "This is the list of personnel who need to be eliminated by the Ministry of Officials, please have a look at it, Your Majesty.

Wei Zheng took the document, but sighed and put the weight of the document in his hand.

Wei Zheng sighed: "The Ministry of Industry and Duzhi are now the Ministry of Officials, followed by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War and the capital officials. With a swipe of this pen, a top official hat will fall to the ground."

Fang Xuanling said in surprise: "Xuancheng regrets it now, but it's too late."

Wei Zheng gave Fang Xuanling an angry look.

Fang Xuanling smiled embarrassingly, and said: "Your Majesty, it is too important to reduce the number of officials. The two of us, after all, are newly promoted ministers. We still have to wear a big hat. A person with seniority, prestige, and status is enough. The veteran ministers who matter have come forward to preside over this matter in the open."

Wei Zheng suppressed his smile.

Li Jiancheng pondered: "Then let Feng Deyi be named!"

Wei Zheng frowned.

The servant came over and said, "Feng Xiangguo, please see me!"

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling hurriedly resigned from Li Jiancheng, and waited for them to leave.

Feng Deyi entered slowly, and he bowed to Li Jiancheng to salute.

Li Jiancheng motioned Feng Deyi to sit down.

Feng Deyi sat down carefully.

Li Jiancheng picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Feng Deyi with both hands.

Feng Deyi was so frightened that he quickly stood up and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you can't do it."

Li Jiancheng said with a smile on his face: "Feng Xiangguo has taken good care of me over the years, toast a cup of tea and chat to express my gratitude."

Feng Deyi said solemnly: "The veteran is just doing his duty faithfully."

Li Jiancheng said: "Without Feng Xiangguo's help, as early as the first year of Wude, the Supreme Emperor would have fled to Taiyuan, and there is no Tang Dynasty today. If Feng Xiangguo did not insist on justice, I would have been squeezed out by Erlang and died. This cup of tea, It's time for me to honor the Prime Minister."

Feng Deyi happily took the teacup and said: "That is the manifest destiny, Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings."

Li Jiancheng pondered and said: "It's been a while since Xiao Yu was dismissed as Prime Minister. The court is now in troubled times. This minister, Zuo Servant, should not be left in vain. I want to find a stable old minister who will take on important responsibilities. I don't know how to become Prime Minister. What do you want? "

Feng Deyi hurriedly fell to his knees trembling and said: "My minister, Feng Deyi, is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, share worries and solve difficulties, and will not hesitate to do so."

Feng Deyi was very excited in his heart, and finally became the prime minister.

Li Jiancheng helped Feng Deyi up and said, "Since Prime Minister Feng is willing to be the left servant, then the right servant, who will take over?"

Feng Deyi looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Wei Zheng, the common son in the East Palace, can shoot for Shangshu's right servant."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Xiangguo is absolutely right."

Li Shimin: Feng Xiangguo, this year the world has suffered disasters everywhere, and Turkic troops invaded, Guanzhong is particularly difficult.In order to stabilize the people in the world, I had no choice but to lower the imperial clan and streamline the officials.Each of these two matters is related to the court and involves many things.Right now, I am appointing Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng to handle this matter, but one of them is too young, and the other is an ex-official of the Qin Palace, and they cannot convince the public by speaking out, and need a highly respected old official to stand up for them.

Feng Deyi's face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally he bowed down slowly: "Although I am old and sick, I am willing...to share your majesty's worries.

Li Jiancheng said with a smile on his face: "I know that Feng Xiangguo is loyal to the country, and he will definitely be able to hold the ground for me and do these two things well."

……

In the execution room, Changsun Wuji was hung on the wall by iron chains, his clothes were ragged and bruised, Wei Ting paced in front of him with a piece of paper in his hand, he shook his head and sighed, "Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji, you Why bother? Li Shimin's life and death are uncertain, Changsun Wugou is also dead, Prince Qin's Mansion has fallen, and Tiance Mansion has been wiped out, who will benefit from you going on like this?"

Changsun Wuji closed his eyes, bowed his head and ignored him.

Wei Ting turned around, shook off the paper in his hand and said, "This is a secret report from Baiqisi of your Tiance Army, it's about the price of rice in Hedong, I found it from Li Shimin's mansion in Hedong Yes, can you tell me?"

Changsun Wuji sneered and said, "Tiance Mansion and Prince Qin's Mansion are gone, so what else is there to say?"
