The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"That's right, if you want to hit you, go for it, and I won't go to any Fusang country."

With the approval of the civil servants, most of the generals also jumped out to oppose.

In short, most of the time, the civil servants and generals disagreed with each other, and no one would agree with the other, just like this time.

Li Shimin has long been familiar with such a scene.

If the civil officials agree, the generals will inevitably oppose it, and if the military generals agree, the civil officials will also object.

It is rare to reach a common front, let alone a concerted effort.

With the quarrel among the civil servants and military generals in the main hall, the scene was almost out of control.

If a referee blows his whistle, there will definitely be a fight.

However, Zhong Wen still closed his eyes, resting his mind there.

He didn't want to ask about the matters discussed by the courtiers in the hall, and he didn't want to say anything.

When the people from the Fusang mission were there just now, Zhong Wen had already made his words very clear, and he firmly opposed sending troops to help the Fusang country.

Regardless of emotion or reason, Zhong Wen feels that this matter is not acceptable.

Whose life is not life?

Exchange the lives of Tang soldiers for Brother Shanbei's throne?

Not worth it, absolutely not worth it.

In Zhong Wen's words, the people of the Tang Kingdom, any one person, is much more noble than the people of the Fusang Kingdom, so how could they use the lives of the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom to help such a useless Fusang Kingdom?

However, Zhong Wen's objection did not affect the courtiers' debate.

Perhaps, in their eyes, Zhong Wen was already someone who could be ignored, because Li Shimin didn't speak, which meant that this fight could go on.

At this time, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, was also beating his heart, thinking about how to do things, he could help the Fusang country, and he could bring the queen of the Fusang country into his harem, and he could not waste Tang's money. Financial and human resources.

However, after much deliberation, he didn't have a good idea.

But the quarrel in the court hall is still there, which makes him even more dizzy.

"Okay." After Li Shimin shouted loudly, he said again: "The matter of Fusang Kingdom, as Wei Aiqing said, needs to be considered in the long term, and what Fang Xiang said is also not unreasonable. Fusang Kingdom has always had a close relationship with Tang Dynasty. Qian, if you don't help, it's really too much, besides, my Tang Kingdom is a kingdom of heaven, if you refuse, it will definitely make other countries criticize it."

Li Shimin's words seem to have set a direction for this matter, and that is assistance.

But this assistance, as Wei Zheng said, requires a long-term plan, but is this long-term plan really that easy to plan?

But at this time, Zhong Wen, who had been standing there with his eyes closed all this time, opened his eyes, looked at Li Shimin who was on the throne, and said, "My lord, I object."

When Li Shimin saw Zhong Wen's voice of disapproval suddenly, he felt unhappy.

As for this unhappiness, apart from Zhong Wen's objection, it was also dislike that Zhong Wen signaled Li Shan to recruit Empress Changsun.

As for Empress Changsun's sudden visit to the court, Li Shimin had already guessed that it was Zhong Wen's intention to Li Shan.

In fact, if a subject who disobeyed orders really opposed an emperor, besides being displeased, if he really changed someone else, maybe Li Shimin would have let this person go home to retire.

However, Li Shimin's dislike for Zhong Wen can only be disliked, but he will not show anything.

"Zhong Changshi, this matter has not yet been decided, how about we make a decision after everyone discusses it?" Li Shimin looked at Zhong Wen and said.

Zhong Wen clasped his hands again and said, "My lord, the mission of the Fusang Kingdom came to our Tang Kingdom to ask for help because of its domestic imperial power dispute, and the imperial power dispute of the Fusang Kingdom belongs to the internal affairs of other countries. Suppression, what does this have to do with my country Tang? The change of imperial power in Fusang country is a matter of other countries."

"For example, for the sake of a big brother from the Fusang country, we have to recruit soldiers from the Tang country to rescue, then if other countries are also like this, dare to ask the Holy One, how many soldiers from the Tang country can fight?"

"Okay, even if the Holy Majesty really wants to send troops to Fusang Kingdom, can we cross the sea thousands of miles away according to the warships of our Tang Dynasty? It's not so easy to think about it? Is it really impossible for our Tang Dynasty soldiers to be buried in the belly of fishes?" Is it? Then my Tang soldiers are too worthless, right?"

"Furthermore, the Fusang country is an island country surrounded by the sea, and its people are uncivilized people. The people of my Tang country are still suffering from hunger and cold, why should they fight for other countries? It is because the Holy Majesty said that my Tang country is Is it the Kingdom of Heaven?"

Zhong Wen's words are basically rhetorical questions, and the person who asked the rhetorical questions is still the current emperor Li Shimin.

As soon as Zhong Wen's rhetorical question fell, Li Shimin was forced into an embarrassing place in a corner, leaving Li Shimin speechless.

However, there was nothing to say, it wasn't that he didn't say anything, but Li Shimin felt that Zhong Wen, a regular attendant, was too much involved in the government affairs.

Originally, Li Shimin called Zhong Wen over just to deal with two innate masters in the Fusang Mission.

But no one thought that after the members of the Fusang Mission entered the court, the envoy of the Fusang Mission turned out to be a very beautiful woman.

Moreover, when someone said it, he said it directly, exchanging people for his father's imperial power, and Li Shimin immediately took a fancy to the Amano Sakurako of the Fusang Mission.

But who would have thought that this court discussion would become Zhong Wen's personal show, and this show has always been the voice of opposition, and it even slapped Li Shimin in the face.

Not happy, not happy, very unhappy.

Yes, Li Shimin was indeed like this at this time, with an unhappy expression on his face.

Li Shimin, who was very unhappy, glared at Zhong Wen, "Zhong Changshi, let this matter go for now. If Zhong Changshi is tired, go back to the mansion earlier to rest and leave the court."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he left directly with his guards.

Another court controversy is over.

Some people are happy, some people are not happy, and some people are happy to see the results.

There are many happy people, but very few unhappy people.

Chapter 4 Ten

But at this moment, apart from being helpless, Zhong Wen felt chilled.

Helplessness is helplessness for this era.

But this chill came from Li Shimin's attitude towards him.

Perhaps, it also originated from the problems of this era.

The sentence that he went back to rest earlier has already explained Li Shimin's dislike for Zhong Wen.

However, Zhong Wen was not like those civil servants and military generals who stayed in the hall or pleaded with Li Shimin.

Following that, Zhong Wen strode towards the outside of the hall, not wanting to stay for a moment.

Although Li Shimin's words were not serious, they meant to tell Zhong Wen not to interfere in this matter.

And Zhong Wen also understood in his heart.

There is no master here, and there is a place to stay with him.

This is Zhong Wen's idea.

Zhong Wen's objection was not because he didn't want to give anyone face. The main reason might be some influence from his previous life.

Zhong Wen would never choose to believe in all the ghosts from other countries, let alone make a conclusion based on his heart-to-heart relationship.

After leaving Miyagi, Zhong Wen went straight to the County Marquis Mansion.

Along the way, Zhong Wen was making a decision in his mind.

That is, from now on, I will no longer interfere in political affairs, nor will I enter the court to discuss any matters.

Quietly be his magistrate.

Whatever the position of a general or the position of a permanent servant, go to one side.

Perhaps, such a decision was a little too hasty, but for Zhong Wen, the court was no longer a place he could stay.

Zhong Wen thought that what he said was out of good intentions. Similarly, he was also wary of Fanbang ghosts. After all, history will tell Chinese people what to do and what not to do.

Any big country should have the demeanor of a big country, any big country should have the bearing of a big country, and any big country should have an attitude of inclusiveness.

Zhong Wen neither admitted nor denied it.

As far as what Zhong Wen knows or understands, as well as what happened in history, Zhong Wen will be skeptical about such a conclusion.

Don’t persuade others to be kind without suffering from others. If you are not here in the cold winter months, who will you be in the spring of next year?

This sentence is true no matter where it is used.

Just such a sentence is also suitable for Zhong Wen.

Do yourself a good job, do other people's affairs, and don't ask too much.

……

Zhong Wen, who returned to the Hou Mansion, changed his mind, put aside all the unhappiness and troubles, and put a smile on his face to welcome the future.

The grudge against Shimen is still unresolved, and the Taoist classics stolen by Shimen have not been recovered, and other things can be put aside.

This is Zhong Wen's repositioning of himself.

During this period of time, Zhong Wen has already deviated from his original goal.

Fortunately, Li Shimin's words woke him up today, which also made him return to the right path.

Zhong Wen walked around the mansion and found that Xiaowa was missing in the mansion except for a few servants.

This made Zhong Wen a little strange.

However, after thinking about it, I realized that today is a day for taking a rest, thinking that Xiaohua and the others probably went out for a stroll again.

Immediately, Zhong Wen stopped a servant and asked, "Where did Xiaohua and the others go, do you know?"

"Returning to Daoist, the little lady and the others seem to have gone out to play. Before going out, the little lady seems to say that she is going to the West Market. I guess she is playing there at this time." The servant quickly responded.

After Zhong Wen heard this, he didn't care at all. Anyway, this little girl of hers is like this, and she basically can't stay in the mansion. As long as it's time for Xiumu, she will definitely choose to escape from this Hou who is like a cage for her. government.

"Help me make a pot of tea." Zhong Wen turned to give instructions to the servant, and then walked directly to a pavilion in the Hou's mansion.

But at this moment, Xiaohua is just as the servant said, she is indeed taking Ren Zhu and the three of them to wander around the West Market.

However, Xiaohua's wandering is not really wandering, but a purposeful wandering.

Why?

Because of Ren Fei.

It is said that after Zhong Wen was called to Miyagi, Ren Fei was affected by Xiao Hua's aura of swordplay, so he begged Xiao Hua for a good sword.

Therefore, this time Xiaohua brought Ren Fei and the others to West Market just to find a shop to buy some good swords.

However, Xiaohua didn't know that there was no shop selling weapons in West Market.

Although there are places where weapons are sold in Chang'an City, they will definitely not be in the West Market.

"Auntie, look, there." At this moment, Ren Fei pointed to a place and pointed to Xiaohua as if he had discovered something.

Following Ren Fei's prompt, Xiao Hua raised her head and looked at the place Ren Fei pointed at.

"Come on, let's go and have a look." Xiao Hua didn't know why there were so many people gathered there in the distance, but if there was something exciting to watch, she definitely wouldn't miss it.

Lively, the West Market has never been short of lively.

But at this time, the West Market is bustling, and it is indeed a bit big.

A lot of people are watching around.

"Come, take a look, take a look..." After Xiaohua and the others got into the crowd, they realized that there were so many people gathered together, and there was a juggler shouting inside.

However, this juggler is not the juggler Xiaohua has seen before, but directing some animals to do tricks, more like a small animal acrobatics.

After the trick started, Xiao Hua even forgot about their mission to come to West Market.

He was concentrating on watching the animals juggling in the arena, and he said hello from time to time.

It was not until noon that the juggling ended.

Xiao Hua was also generous, and let her follower, Xiao Lu, reward some copper coins, and then took Ren Zhu and the others back home for lunch.

Jugglers, or jugglers.

Every day in Chang'an City.

However, juggling with animals is rare.

If the juggling hadn't ended, maybe Xiaohua and the others could watch it all day.

Buying weapons, buying swords and iron guns, there is no such thing as watching juggling.

After finishing her lunch, Xiaohua went directly to her pets, presumably to train her pets to perform juggling.

Zhong Wen didn't care, anyway, there was only one day of rest and bathing time, and no matter how noisy it was, it would only be one day.

For several days in a row, Zhong Wen had nothing to do in the mansion during the day, meditating, practicing exercises, and reading through the unknown Taoism.

I didn't even go to Honglu Temple to stare at night.
