Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

"Bodhisattva, what can you see?"

The dragon girl couldn't help but asked again.

Avalokitesvara naturally wouldn't show her uneasy side, and smiled slightly: "The Book of Life and Death is one of the three great books, and it should be in the heart of heaven, but in recent years, the way of heaven has loosened, so there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Chen E and Yin Wenjiao covered up the secret, and I will go back to the South China Sea to make up for the omission, and then deduce it in detail."

After saying that, he handed the book of life and death back to King Qin Guang, and gave him a little money to show his gratitude, and took the dragon girl away to escape.

Three days later, Chang'an!

"Ha ha ha ha"

Li Shimin laughed heartily.

The news that the severe drought in the Hongjiang River Basin had been resolved was a pleasant surprise, and he was extremely satisfied with Chen E in his heart.

After all, Chen E was the number one scholar he hand-picked and his disciple. Because of his great merit, the heavenly court invited Chen E to be an official in heaven. It proves that he is still favored by heaven.

This is the most important point, and it effectively countered Wei Zheng's unreasonable demands that he repeatedly made admonitions to force him to commit his own edict.

Yin Kaishan was also very comforted, he was so happy from ear to ear, how good is this son-in-law?It is a pity that Chen E declined Taibai Jinxing to bring his father-in-law and mother-in-law with him, but he feels more and more that he has seen the right person.

Since the news came back to Chang'an, officials have come to congratulate him one after another, and his waist has become more and more rigid.

"Haha, Wei Aiqing, what else can I say?"

Li Shimin still laughed, pointing at Wei Zheng and asking.

Wei Zheng was very helpless, but he refused to admit defeat, cupped his hands and said: "Chen Zhifu's luck is really good, he actually invited the Three Holy Mothers of Huashan, but no matter what, the early relief of the disaster is really the first choice for tens of millions of people along the Hongjiang River. blessing."

Li Shimin's laughter stopped abruptly, as if he was choking on a fly. He didn't think about what to do with Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng never gave him face. For the sake of the late Empress Changsun, he tolerated it again and again. It's not hard to say something nice, is it?

"What Wei Aiqing said is true!"

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he snorted: "Chen Guangrui made great contributions to fighting the flood last year, and this year he also solved the drought. He is really a talent for a while. I want to transfer Chen Guangrui to Beijing as an official. What kind of position does Wei Aiqing think he can confer?"

"This"

Wei Zheng frowned thickly.

Last year, he prevented Li Shimin from transferring Chen E to the capital, but Chen E made new contributions this year, and the contribution was greater than last year.

The magistrate of Jiangzhou is the fourth rank. With Chen E's merits, it is impossible to transfer to Beijing. He can only be promoted to the third rank or from the third rank. There is a chance to be close to Li Shimin.

He once said that he would sacrifice Chen E alone to save tens of millions of people in the Hongjiang River Basin, but no one would die forever. If Chen E was allowed to get close to Li Shimin, there was no guarantee that he would not be greedy.

Wei Zheng's backstage, Empress Changsun, is dead.

Eh?

Got it!

Wei Zheng suddenly had an idea. The crown prince Zhan Shi is a third-rank official, in charge of the internal and external affairs of the prince's mansion. This position is equivalent to the crown prince's housekeeper. In the future, the prince will be of great use when he ascends the throne. Judging by Chen E's age, being the prince Zhan Shi is very important for his future. Great help, but Buddhism has already formulated a plan for Li Shimin's 20-year longevity.

In other words, Li Shimin can still be in charge of Datang for another 20 years, and Chen E, as the prince Zhan Shi, will be excluded from the center along with the prince for 20 years.

Wei Zheng saluted and said: "I think that Chen Guangrui's crown prince can be given Zhan's affairs."

"Oh? Why?"

Li Shimin was dissatisfied, and he planned to use Chen E a lot.

Wei Zheng said calmly, "The crown prince and Chen Guangrui are about the same age, so they can be good friends to each other. In the future, it will be a good story between monarch and minister. Of course, if Your Majesty has other plans, it will be a good story for Weng and son-in-law to be officials in the same palace."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, that's right, no matter how fond he was of Chen E, he didn't want to see Chen E and Yin Kaishan collude with each other in the court, forming a party for personal gain, so he asked, "What do you think Yin Aiqing wants?"

Yin Kaishan scolded Wei Zheng bloody in his heart, but he could only say: "What Prime Minister Wei said is true, I have no objection, another minister has an invitation!"

"Please tell me, Yin Aiqing!"

Li Shimin looked over.

Yin Kaishan said: "The three Holy Mothers of Huashan have made great contributions to the people in the Hongjiang River Basin. It is natural to be enshrined by them. But if you look closely at their roots, they are the gods on the ground of my Jingzhao. It seems inappropriate to live in other places for a long time. Please Your Majesty." The decree is to choose a good place to build a temple for the Three Holy Mothers in Chang'an, to be worshiped by the people of the capital, and to benefit the whole Tang Dynasty."

"Um"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "The gods have the responsibility to protect one side. The three virgins are beautiful, and women are more beautiful than men. This matter will be handled by Yin Aiqing, and then a decree will be sent to call Chen E to Beijing to serve as Prince Zhan's affairs!"

Chapter 51 The 13th Year of Zhenguan

The imperial decree was expedited by [-] miles, and arrived in Jiangzhou three days later. The people of Jiangzhou were eager to stay, but Chen E was actually not very willing to go to Beijing. I can go and visit, anyway, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has made a written statement that Buddhists are not allowed to artificially interfere with the father-son relationship between me and Xiaoe, but the emperor's order is hard to violate.

On the second day, Chen E made a handover with the government office. On the third morning, without disturbing anyone, Chen E and Wen Jiao helped their old mother, Baoyu Baochai and Li Biao, and left home quietly.

When we arrived at the edge of the Hongjiang River and were about to board the boat, it was not yet dawn when someone called from behind.

"Chen Zhuangyuan, Chen Zhuangyuan, please stay!"

Chen E looked back and saw a large group of ordinary people flocking.

An old man came forward to salute: "Chen Zhuangyuan served as an official once, and saved the people of Jiangzhou twice. Although we don't want to leave Chen Zhuangyuan, we can't bear to hinder Chen Zhuangyuan's future. Today is the time for Chen Zhuangyuan to go to Beijing." , I, the people of Jiangzhou, sent a Wanmin Umbrella as a token of gratitude, so please do not say goodbye!"

Several strong men came over carrying a big yellow umbrella.

Chen E took it with a moved face.

After all, there is a world of gods, Chen E felt that this umbrella condensed the hearts and minds of the people of Jiangzhou, and a lot of gratitude. In an instant, his moral value skyrocketed, reaching as much as 120 million!

And in the dark, this umbrella seems to connect him with the luck of the people in Jiangzhou.

In other words, this umbrella can be regarded as a magic weapon, which entrusts the hearts of the people and connects each other's luck. It is the umbrella given to him by the people of Jiangzhou. In addition to the merits bestowed by heaven, his means of self-protection also embodies the hearts of the people. The umbrella of protection has been enriched.

"Thank you all, thank you Jiangzhou elders!"

Chen E was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.

"Chen Zhuangyuan, please drink up the Zhuang Xingjiu!"

Three more squire representatives stepped out of the crowd, each holding a glass of wine!

"Ha ha!"

Chen E laughed, drank three cups in succession, cupped her hands, and took her family into the boat, and the boat sailed slowly towards the river.

Just arrived in the middle of the river, suddenly a water column appeared in front of the boat, the Dragon King of Hongjiang stepped onto the boat, and there were shrimp soldiers and crab generals looming in the river.

"Lord Dragon, Lord Dragon!"

The boatman yelled in terror, and some knelt down and kowtowed.
