Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

His Majesty Li Er is in a good mood. This year he plans to go out to Luoyang to escape the summer heat and leave the prince in Chang'an to supervise the country. After sending Princess Wencheng, preparations for this matter will begin.

Fang Xuanling came to look for something, and His Majesty Li Er let him sit down and talk. When Fang Xuanling talked about what the prince and Li Yuanying were going to do, his Majesty Li Er only felt that Li Yuanying, a **** kid, was secretly doing things again, and this time even the prince was caught up!

His Majesty Li Er asked: "Xuan Ling, do you think they can do it?"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said, "It might be difficult to change to someone else, but with King Teng, I think it's really possible."

Li Yuanying is a very mysterious person. She is born with a good ability to turn bad luck. Fang Xuanling felt that this kid might be beaten several times. In the end, she let him pass the bludgeon. By the way, many others didn’t even think about it. Thoughts.

For example, taking a princess to the Land of the Wind and Moon has never been done before. Not only did Li Yuanying finish her job, she also wanted to talk to her dutiful son, so that his ineffective son would get caught up in fishy!

Hearing that Fang Xuanling agreed with what Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian did, Li Er was quite happy. He nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let them do it."

Li Yuanying didn't need to do anything. After the plan was drawn up, he handed it to Dai Ting to deploy the manpower. He threw the matter out, and began to play with his friends easily.

It wasn't until the news that Majesty Li Er was going to Luoyang in the palace, Li Yuanying thought of the long silent system, and strangely this silent little partner: "This time the emperor is going to the newly built Xiangcheng Palace to escape the summer heat, why don't you send a mission? NS."

The system was quiet for a while before telling Li Yuanying of the mistakes in the past two years. The physical objects it sent to Li Yuanying were all distributed in accordance with the "similar time and space delivery principle." The problem lies in this "similar time and space." One or two thousand years is a very short period of time for the system, but for the ancient humans. It is a very long time, and the gap between the two can even be described as earth-shaking for Datang!

The system delivers to Datang the seeds that are far away from the ocean at this time and have not been cultivated, which is equivalent to changing the direction of this time and space. Therefore, the graphic and image data collected by them in this world can no longer be used as historical data for research, and many people even suspect that they are fraudulent because they discovered the place where sunflowers are planted in the virtual image of the Jiucheng Palace.

The system’s mechanized voice implies apologetics: “I’m sorry, this is my mistake.”

Li Yuanying doesn't care what other people think, because he doesn't recognize them anyway. He also relieved the system in turn: "It's okay, anyway, just a few decades are very short for you, you should take a rest, and when I die, you will find someone else to bind it."

The system wanted to say "I don't need a vacation", but after thinking about it, I took it back.

This is the first time it has heard such words. It used to have an ordinary transactional relationship with its host. They helped to collect data, and it satisfies their needs. There is not much communication between them, and there is not much communication between them. Getting along like this is very unfamiliar to it. It even feels that it might really need a rest, and it doesn't collect data or send tasks. It's good to just watch the group of children grow up quietly.

"Okay." The system said for the first time the answer that was not returned through database analysis.

Li Yuanying had finished communicating with the system. Although it was a pity that there was no mission reward to receive, she still wanted to visit Luoyang and Xiangcheng Palace.

Now Li Yuanying and His Majesty Li Er are in a much better relationship, and they don’t have to go through Sizi and they circulate around the bends. They sneak over and ask: "Emperor Brother, are you going to Luoyang?"

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and ignored him.

Li Yuanying sat down next to His Majesty Li Er and did not leave. His Majesty Li Er finally put aside his pen to look at him, and Li Yuanying actively asked: "Brother Emperor, can you take me with you when you go to Luoyang? I haven't been to Luoyang before, so I want to see it."

His Majesty Li Er said indifferently: "Aren't you busy? Are you free to go to Luoyang?"

When Li Yuanying heard this, His Majesty Li Er knew what he was up to now, and looked rather unhappy. Li Yuanying slipped his "tea trade plan" to tell His Majesty Li Er on some important points, and then mysteriously approached his Majesty Li Er's ear and whispered: "Brother Emperor, let me tell you that we have an idea. Without telling anything, if you are willing to take me to Luoyang, I will tell you!"

His Majesty Li Er has heard from Fang Xuanling for the most part, and he roughly knows what their entire plan is like. Hearing this, he leaned forward and waved his hand to Li Yuanying, who was approaching, and happily agreed to Li Yuanying’s request. : "Okay, I will take you there, you say."

Li Yuanying told His Majesty Li Er that they wanted to integrate the Tubo and Turks under Datang. Li Yuanying has her own thoughts: "If Tubo and Turks become part of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor will definitely let their people live the same good lives as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and their talents will be reused! At that time, We in Datang can also go further west, further north, and walk the southeast, northwest, and take a good look at the wider world."

It is the first time that His Majesty Li Er has heard that a country that plunders others is so high-sounding.

However, it sounds pretty good.

Fighting and plundering have never been their goals. What they want is to be the one in the world. What they want is that the Tang Dynasty is nowhere to go, and the world is everywhere. As long as they are willing to surrender, they are willing to accept them and treat them like One!

But this is too difficult.

His Majesty Li Er said helplessly: "How many years will it take to do what you said?"

Li Yuanying said: "If you can't do it, you have to start. Now Chengqian already has a son. We taught Xianger early. When we can't do it, he can continue to do it! I also have a son, and when my son grows up , I drove them all out to do things." Li Yuanying made a summary, "Anyway, I can do a little bit, and I can't do nothing just because it feels too difficult to do!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "It seems that you have arranged all your sons."

Li Yuanying said, "That's natural. Whatever they can do, I will let them do."

His Majesty Li Er thought of his sons, the few who had been sent out, and many of those raised by his side had reached the age to be released to do things. I heard Gao Yang say last time that they started to talk about Ping Kang Fang, and it is indeed time to cultivate their ability to be independent.

His Majesty Li Er had finished calculating the matter of letting his son get to the feudal clan sooner, and glanced at Li Yuanying and said, "I can remember what you said. Don't let me go and run over to cry when the time comes."

Li Yuanying patted his small chest that is not very strong and said: "I will definitely not reluctant to bear it. Then, Brother Huang, if you have anything to look at, just pick it!"

His Majesty Li Er was amused by him and scolded with a smile: "The princess did not marry back, you are still generous."

Li Yuanying said: "Anyway, I will marry, and I will have a son." After he finished speaking, he said vigilantly, "No daughter, you can't take my daughter's idea, just marry her to someone else! Or I will do A big ship, taking the princess and daughter away and flying!"

His Majesty Li Er let him roll, roll quickly, don't dangle in front of him, it is annoying.

Li Yuanying successfully won the opportunity to go to Luoyang to play, so she would no longer keep the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, rushing to play.

Regarding the monks, since both Li Er and Li Chengqian do not believe in Buddhism, Li Yuanying is not easy to get in touch with the people in this area. Li Yuanying asked Dai Ting to inquire, and selected a person who was very suitable to knock on Buddhism: Ouyang Xun.

Ouyang Xun wrote a good handwriting. Li Yuanying remembered that Wei Shu had learned his handwriting. Li Yuanying himself had come across Ouyang Xun's post. This year Ouyang Xun is 80 years old. Under the influence of his adoptive father Jiang Zong, he believes in Buddhism. He personally wrote "Heart Sutra", "Zhongni Dream Dian Tie", etc., and because of his high life, he has close contacts with many Buddhist monks in Chang'an City.

Li Yuanying hadn't been in contact with Ouyang Xun much, but for the sake of tea planning, he ran to visit Ouyang Xun's mansion with the finest Qianjin tea.

Ouyang Xun's house is in a very good location. After going out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, walk straight, and you can find it by walking around the corner of Tonghuafang.

Li Yuanying ordered people in and handed a letter.

Although Ouyang Xun didn't know what Li Yuanying did with him, he had lived to eighty years old, and he was very open-minded. He didn't think it must be a bad thing for Li Yuanying to come to him. He generously invited Li Yuanying in.

Li Yuanying followed the people in Ouyang Xun's mansion and looked at the scenery in the mansion. He felt that Ouyang Xun's mansion was not too big, but it was really quiet and elegant. Walking a little further inside, Li Yuanying saw a thin old man in the room copying something from a distance, and the light and pleasant fragrance of ink floated in the room.

This is obviously Ouyang Xun.

The patience of young people has never been much, so Li Yuanying was impatient and walked slowly with the servants, and ran directly over.

Ouyang Xun did not stop writing.

Li Yuanying paused, walked over gently, and sat aside to watch Ouyang Xun move the pen steadily.

Ouyang Xun was thin when he was young, and even more worrying when he was old, his hands looked like withered bamboo branches, without a trace of blood, only the old and powerful brought by the years.

This look is the hand that holds the pen all the year round.

Li Yuanying sat aside obediently, her eyes secretly aiming at what Ouyang Xun was copying.

That is the "Heart Sutra".

Ouyang Xun finished writing the entire "Heart Sutra", put aside his pen and looked at Li Yuanying, and asked, "Why did your Highness come here?"

Li Yuanying said: "I have something to ask you for help."

Ouyang asked, "I would like to hear the details."

Li Yuanying personally made a bowl of tea for Ouyang Xun, and poured a bowl herself, sat opposite Ouyang Xun, and said, "This is the tea from the south. Would you like to taste it?"

Ouyang Xun had also heard about Qianjin Tea being snapped up with a lot of money, and was very curious about the tea soup that exuded a light fragrance, and took a sip after hearing the words. Tea is the best tea, and the water is also the best water. After the mouth is bitter and sweet, it feels very special to drink.

Li Yuanying took the opportunity to tell Ouyang Xun about the usefulness of tea, and then said: "Wen Chengyuan married Tubo, I miss it in my heart. Tubo is no better than Chang'an, and its products are very small, so tea can't be grown there. She loved to drink tea in Chang'an. I'm afraid she won't be able to drink it when she arrives in Tubo, so I want to send the newly produced tea to the cities where they live every year. But the cities are too far away from Chang'an. Who wants to travel there?"

Ouyang inquired: "I am old and old, what can I do to your Highness?"

Li Yuanying wanted to get acquainted with eminent monks and persuaded the monks to go to Tubo to preach and spread tea.

This tea has a bitter taste and a sweet aftertaste, which is quite suitable for Zen. Although Tubo also has Buddhism, the teachings are mixed and the truth is not spread. It is the ascetic practice that monks should complete. After thinking about it for a while, Ouyang Xun responded to Li Yuanying's words and promised to help Li Yuanying with the line.

Li Yuanying was overjoyed. After returning, he asked the people underneath to compose many stories related to Buddhist scriptures overnight, picking out the ones that listened to them with reasonable evidence and kept them for later use.

This kind of story-making behavior is familiar to the Datang monks. It is commonly known as "vulgarization", which is to express the Buddhist scriptures through popularized stories so that the people can easily understand it. Which Buddhist temple's "vulgar talk" speaks well, the incense money will be more! Of course, the real monk is not compiled for incense money, but for more people to understand and comprehend the Buddhist scriptures.

Li Yuanying had a story made up in his stomach and met with the eminent monks in Chang'an City under the leadership of Ouyang Xun.

At this time, the storytelling eloquence cultivated from childhood to large finally came in handy. Li Yuanying took out the tea legends that he compiled and processed by his brainstorming. The monks felt that the tea soup they held in their hands became mysterious and beautiful. . After listening to Li Yuanying talking about Princess Wencheng's journey to Tubo with the imperial Buddha statue and the establishment of the good things between the two countries, the monks burst into tears and said that spreading Buddhist scriptures to these uncivilized places cannot rely on a weak woman alone. It's the one to go!

All Ouyang Xun knew were quite famous monks, and there were a group of loyal and fanatical disciples and believers. They went back to tell the disciples and believers the vulgar stories told by Li Yuanying, and the monks of the major Buddhist temples in Chang'an rushed to respond.

The foreign trade of tea has not yet begun, but among the Buddhist believers, there was a wave of Zen tea. Everyone wants to taste the "bitterness and sweetness of life" mentioned in the mouth of the eminent monk. Kind of!

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: Master!

All the eminent monks:?

Little Prince: Help me sell tea!
