The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"Your Majesty, this is the end of the story, so you can tell me. Anyway, I still have some time before I go back to Longquan Temple. Isn't it a little unreasonable for you to whet my appetite?"

Zhong Wen also stood up and looked at Li Shimin.

There is not much difference in height between the two, but Zhong Wen is thinner.

In comparison, Li Shimin is at most three to five centimeters taller than him, but standing together, it seems a bit nondescript.

One is strong and the other is slender. From this comparison, it is obvious that he is a son of a rich family and a son of a peasant family.

But at this time, what Zhong Wen said was like a conversation with a friend, without even some respect.

"Hahahaha, you dare to talk to me like that, I'm not authentic, what can you do?"

After listening to Zhong Wen's words, Li Shimin felt that this little Taoist priest was a little too casual. Don't you know that standing in front of you is an emperor?

"Okay, you are the Holy One, I'm just a little Taoist priest, I dare not say anything."

Zhong Wen softened, only then did he realize that standing in front of him was the Son of Heaven, the supreme ruler of the country, not a Taoist in a Taoist temple.

"By the way, my lord, I still don't understand what is the relationship between my master and you, and why I summoned such a little Taoist priest."

In the end, Zhong Wen asked the question he wanted to know the most.

This is a big problem. If Zhong Wen doesn't figure it out, he must be eating poorly and sleeping poorly, and maybe he will go around to find out.

"Didn't your master tell you? Presumably, an expert like your master must be tireless in revealing his identity. After entering the Taoist sect, he will naturally stay away from Mrs. Li."

Li Shimin paused, and stopped speaking, as if he was remembering something, or recalling some past events.

"Your Majesty, my master's surname is Li, so he won't be related to His Majesty, right?"

At this time, after Zhong Wen listened to Li Shimin's words, he suddenly realized in his heart.

If it's really a relative, then Li Shimin summoned him, that's understandable, the relative's disciple came to Chang'an, no matter what, he had to see him.

At this moment, Zhong Wen was overjoyed and felt that his guess should be right.

And Zhong Wen's joy made him feel that he could board a big ship, and his future future could be as smooth as flowing water.

"Hahahaha, as you said, your master and I are really relatives, of the same family. If we talk about seniority, I have to call him uncle. However, your master doesn't like worldly affairs and has been staying in Longquan. Look, I rarely come to Chang'an, alas."

Li Shimin listened to what Zhong Wen guessed, and directly pointed out his relationship with Li Daoling.

In terms of seniority, Li Daoling is a generation older than Li Yuan, but in terms of relationship, it is a bit farther.

"Your master..."

Following Li Shimin's talk with Zhong Wen, Zhong Wen gradually began to understand his master.

And why did Li Shimin send out the people in this hall just now? It turned out that it was to prevent too many people from knowing the relationship between Li Daoling and his Li family.

After following Li Shimin's words, Zhong Wen felt in his heart that the master he admired seemed to be a great backer.

However, why my master stayed away from Chang'an and waited in Longquan, I was a little confused.

Even if my master Li Daoling inherits the responsibility of the Taiyi Sect, he doesn't have to stay in Longquan Temple. Even if Longquan Temple is the Taoist temple left by the ancestor, he can open another Taoist temple in Chang'an, isn't it Li Shimin? Still can't agree?

According to what Li Shimin said, he wanted to call Li Daoling an uncle. In matters of seniority, he was Li Yuan's uncle, but he was not a concubine, but a concubine.

There is no possibility of becoming a prince, but even if it is impossible to become a one-word king, it is absolutely impossible to lose a county king.

But after hearing what Li Shimin said, Zhong Wen understood something.

The Li family rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, but Li Daoling did not participate in it. Instead, he repeatedly advised Li Yuan to do less crimes and more to benefit the people, which made Li Yuan unhappy.

Of course, this was also because Li Daoling was already a member of the Taoist sect. After the founding of the country in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Daoling's status as the county king was also conferred, but Li Daoling refused.In the end, Li Yuan sealed Li Daoling's identity as a real person.

Among them, Li Daoling's being made a real person is basically known to the Taoists, but few people know what the relationship between Li Daoling and the Li family of the royal family is. None of them have ever been archived in the Zongzheng Temple.

After Zhong Wen listened for a long time, he finally understood the identity of his master, and he praised him in his heart.It turns out that my master is such a bullshit, so as a disciple, shouldn't I also be a bullshit?Does he also have a strong background?

From now on, in Chang'an City, can I walk around like that crab, and no one dares to provoke him?

"Ha ha ha ha."

At this moment, Zhong Wen was laughing in his heart. He had hired a cheap master. It turned out that it was really not cheap, and it was very expensive.

Chapter 225 I refuse [Add a new chapter, ask for tickets to continue]

At this time, Zhong Wen was thinking endlessly in his mind, and his face was filled with the look of a villain, which made Li Shimin who was nearby feel that this little Taoist priest had lost his soul.

"Are you thinking that your master is a real person, so you should also be a real person?"

Li Shimin looked at the junior in front of him, no, he should be regarded as an elder, with such an appearance, he felt a little displeased.

When he saw Zhong Wen, he felt that this kid was not up to the mark, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a turkey with no cultivation at all.

But at this time, seeing the little Taoist priest in front of him again, the halazi flowed out, and I felt very disgusted.

"This... that... If the Holy Majesty thinks it's okay, I can accept it as a real person."

Zhong Wen, who woke up, quickly wiped the drool from his mouth, and responded excitedly to Li Shimin.

"You really know how to think. Didn't your master tell you what his real person represents? If you don't know, you can ask after you go back later."

Li Shimin really didn't want to talk more with this little Taoist priest, and felt that if he continued to talk to this little Taoist priest, he felt that he might become that shameless.

Zhong Wen is speechless, this is not what he said, it was you who said it, okay?I, Zhong Wen, have never asked about it since the beginning, nor have I ever thought about it.

Of course, it would be the best if it was really a real person. If so, there would be two real people in Longquan Temple, and they would be two real people from the same school, master and apprentice.

However, Zhong Wen listened to Li Shimin's words, his master's real-life impersonation seemed to have some special meaning, it seemed unusual.

However, as for the meaning, Zhong Wen doesn't care now. It's just a title, and it's not very useful.

Just like my own master, although he is a real person, he is not the same as being watched in Longquan, and he is also poor and does not have much meat to eat.

Real people are not real people, at this time Zhong Wen really didn't think so much, but in his mind, he was thinking about his seniority.

According to what Li Shimin said just now, my master Li Daoling is Li Yuan's uncle, that is Li Shimin's cousin, and I am Li Daoling's disciple, so if I say that, am I Li Shimin's uncle?

It seems to be possible to argue in this way, after all, my master's seniority is placed there, and I am indeed Li Daoling's disciple, so should Li Shimin call himself uncle?

However, Zhong Wen was not stupid enough to open his mouth to say: Nephew Shimin.

If this is the case, it is estimated that his head has already been hung on the Chang'an city wall as a Fengshui head.

The matter of seniority, in front of Li Shimin, is not as easy to use as a sentence.

Otherwise, he would not be able to kill his brother and imprison his father. Zhong Wen knew this kind of thing well, and when he came to this hall, he started to pretend to be crazy, in order to prevent Li Shimin from thinking about himself.

Even when Zhong Wen speaks, he basically speaks for the non-essential, and picks up some offensive or unpleasant words.

Of course, his appearance is also pretended.

No one can know Zhong Wen, but he must know the name of Tang Taizong.

After coming to this palace city, he was very careful. He didn't want to become Li Shimin's minions because of certain things.

Of course, with regard to the background matter, he really hoped so.

After all, if you want to live well in this era, or want to have a good future, you naturally need a strong background.

When they first met, the letter of recommendation that Zhong Wen showed was written by Li Daoling, and Zhong Wen had actually read this letter of recommendation.

It's just that the letter has long been blurred, but you can still make out what is written.

What the letter said was just recommending his disciples to Zongzheng Temple, it didn't mention Li Shimin or anything, let alone the royal family.In the letter, apart from recommending his disciples to Zongzheng Temple, he also hoped that Zongzheng Temple would handle a degree of ultimatum.

In addition, the letter also mentioned a person's name, Li Bing, as for who this Li Bing was, Zhong Wen didn't know.

Zhong Wen didn't know the officials of the Tang Dynasty, let alone Zongzheng Temple, but he remembered the name of this person clearly, and he didn't know who it was, and why his master recommended him to him.

As for how to do it, after today's matter is over, I will go to Zong to take a formal look at it tomorrow.

But at this time, let's deal with Li Shimin in front of him first, otherwise, it's hard to say whether he can get out of this palace city.

"I heard that your swordsmanship is superb, and you can wound Wu Guogong with a few swords. It seems that you have obtained the true biography of your master. Do you have any thoughts?"

While Zhong Wen was still thinking about it, Li Shimin asked.

"Returning to the Holy One, my swordsmanship can't be put on the stage. At that time, it was estimated that Wu Guogong was careless. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been hurt."

Zhong Wen didn't understand what Li Shimin meant, but said modestly.

"Careless? Do you really think Yuchi Heitan's name is so easy to call? If you want, you can go to Zuowuwei to stay for a few years."

Li Shimin still respects Li Daoling very much, but for his disciples, it can only be said that he doesn't like him, and he always feels that he doesn't like it no matter how he looks at it.

But no matter how unsatisfactory it is, the disciple of his elders came to Chang'an, and he had to settle down well no matter what.

Therefore, it was proposed that Zhong Wen should go to Zuowuwei to stay for a few years. At least, he could be a school lieutenant first, and after studying for some time, he could also lead an army after his qualifications were improved.

No matter what, this is Li Daoling's disciple, and he is also someone who can be trusted.

However, as far as Zhong Wen's identity is concerned, it is naturally impossible to convince Li Shimin with only a certificate and a recommendation letter. In the end, he will send someone to Lizhou for inspection.

"My lord, I refuse. I don't want to be a soldier, and I don't want to be an official. I am a Taoist, but I don't want to be a soldier to fight. I would rather serve the Taoist monarch."

Zhong Wen was shocked when he heard Li Shimin say that he would be assigned to the army, and quickly refused.

"What did you say?"

Li Shimin stared at Zhong Wen and asked loudly.

"My lord, I refuse."

Zhong Wen is 100% unwilling to this matter, even if you, Li Shimin, want to stare at me to death, I am not willing either.

Serving in the military, what the hell is that?

Although it was said that the country was established by force in the early Tang Dynasty, no matter what, it was not easy to save one's life.

As long as you, Li Shimin, fall, which of the generals behind will die well?Even if he could die well, what would be the result?

Zhong Wen would never agree to this point, even if he was asked to take up any official position, he would not be willing.

He is a Taoist priest, and he does not practice Taoism or war, what is the reason for this, besides, he himself has no such wish or idea.

Although I want to make a fortune for my family, if I want to use my own life to do it, then forget it.

Zhong Wen doesn't know how it is in the army, but in this era, when soldiers say they die, they die, I don't want to put my life on these people, I have to put my head on my neck, and that's true.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Although Li Shimin didn't like it in his heart, he really couldn't be too forceful about this matter.

Li Daoling asked his disciples to come to Chang'an. He has not figured out the meaning of this until now. He always feels that this uncle of his will never send his disciples to Chang'an without a reason, so there must be something interesting.

However, Li Shimin really didn't know that Li Daoling's disciple was not sent to Chang'an by Li Daoling at all, but Zhong Wen went down the mountain in advance to avoid his marriage.

Moreover, Li Daoling never thought of sending his disciples to Chang'an to find Li Shimin. He was originally a foreigner, although he had the identity of a real person, but he was basically half separated from the royal family, so he would not bother the royal family.

"Your Majesty, I came to Chang'an just to formally change my degree and to visit friends on behalf of my master. As for what kind of post you want me to take in the guard, I am definitely not willing to do so. I still need to deal with it, I can't stay in Chang'an for long."

Zhong Wen hurriedly explained to Li Shimin, don't make any misunderstandings.

"Forget it, if you don't want to, then you don't want to, it's up to you."

After listening to Li Shimin, he was helpless.

Helpless to his uncle, but also helpless to his disciples.

"If you have any ideas, you can tell me. After today, there will be no chance."

Although Li Shimin's proposal just now was rejected by Zhong Wen, in the end he still wanted to find out what Li Daoling meant by sending his disciple to Chang'an.

"My lord, can I ask you for a status? I want to learn some medical skills or something. I'm afraid that if I go to some imperial doctor to study medicine, I will be beaten out by others."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Zhong Wen's previous idea of ​​Chang'an came to mind, that is to study medicine.

"Huh? Are you going to the Imperial Hospital to seek medical skills from Imperial Medicine? Isn't your master's medical skills very good? Didn't you learn a few medical skills from your master?"

Li Shimin was somewhat puzzled, as far as he knew, Li Daoling's medical skills were definitely very good, but why did his disciple say he wanted to study medicine?

"My lord, the more you learn about this medical skill, the more complex it is. The old master taught me this medical skill, but I came down the mountain after learning it for too short a time. That's why I want to ask my lord to give me a medical skill." Identity or something, so that I can go to the Imperial Medicine for some medical skills."

Zhong Wen quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Okay, I get it. Tomorrow when you go to Zong to formally change the certificate, someone will come and send him away according to the arrangement."

After listening to Li Shimin, he understood clearly.

I don't want to chat with this uncle's disciple anymore.

Originally, he was thinking of drawing Li Daoling's disciples into the army so that he could control Zuowuwei. He didn't cherish such a good opportunity, but he decided to study medicine.
