    Tang Monk finally arrived in Chang'an. Although he found that the people of Chang'an did not respect Buddha very much as soon as he entered the city, he was still full of confidence. After resting, he was ready to devote himself to studying, promote Buddhism, preach Buddhism, and let the people of Chang'an feel Buddhism.  of greatness.  However, before he spreads Buddhism, he must first feel the economic atmosphere in Chang'an. Even the monks are thinking of ways to make money, thinking about recruiting more disciples, holding more Dharma meetings, and earning more money for incense.

    "Studying Dharma?" Hearing that Monk Tang came to Chang'an to learn Dharma, the monk shook his head repeatedly and said: "Harmony brings wealth. We monks in Chang'an are not popular about Dharma debate, but rather monks praising monks. It is to hold Dharma meetings, and everyone can communicate in a harmonious way.  , attracting believers to make money. If you want to discern the Dharma, you have to participate in debates, and that¡¯s the great thing. In debates, Buddhism is unified to the outside world, and there are no monks debating with monks.¡±

    Tang Monk was stunned. How could this Chang'an monk be so philistine? He only talked about making money. This was not pious at all. He couldn't help but said: "Money is just an external thing, why should you be so persistent? This is against the Buddhist rules."

    "Qinggui? Originally, the Qinggui had the precepts of 'no hoarding of gold and silver' and 'no eating after noon', but now they are gone. The only ten precepts left are eight. When are you talking about the QingRui?" The monk said confidently, saying that Master  The Ten Precepts have long been changed into the Eight Precepts, so what Tang Monk is talking about is also the old almanac, and there are new rules in Chang'an.

    Tang Seng once again felt that Buddhism had been distorted and had ambiguities. Even Buddhist disciples were so worldly. He increasingly felt that only the Tianzhu Sutra had the possibility of revitalizing Buddhism.

    It¡¯s a pity that Tianzhu is too far away, so let¡¯s observe it in Chang¡¯an City for a while first.  Tang Seng, a foreign monk, can strongly feel the difference in Chang'an. It is true that all nations come to the dynasty. As long as the surrounding small countries need to do business with the Tang Dynasty, they will try their best to come to the Tang Dynasty to purchase goods and then transport them back to make money.

    Of course, merchants can also transport local goods to Chang'an for sale, and everything can be sold.  There are land routes in the west and water routes in the east. Money and goods flow continuously, but this also creates the habit of Chang'an people looking at money for everything.

    Tang Monk asked puzzledly: "Can money solve the worries of life, old age, illness and death?"

    "It wasn't possible before, but now it is possible. In the past, when people were sick, they would come to pray to Buddha and worship gods. But now that there are hospitals, you can see a doctor just by paying money. You will only come to pray to God when you are really desperate. You can also go to the hospital to give birth.  Basically, the child can be born, and if there is a difficult delivery, the child can be taken out through surgery. So money is more important than Buddha now." The monk in Chang'an also said helplessly: "We monks have to go to the hospital when we are sick, and we have to spend money."

    The scriptures don¡¯t cure diseases, so they turn to money. After all, money can really solve most problems.  In the past, we didn't have such strong medical skills, and we had to die even if we had money. Naturally, the power of gods can comfort people's hearts more.  But when money can solve a problem, the power of money is revealed.

    Tang Seng was speechless and could only walk around the streets of Chang'an to feel the crowded and lively atmosphere and the power of money worship.  He soon discovered a phenomenon. Both the rich and the poor liked to worship gods. He realized that people without money could only pray to gods, while rich people were more likely to encounter problems that money could not solve, so  You also have to worship God.  One is that there is no money, and the other is that money cannot solve the problem, so the temple has not been eliminated.  At the same time, he also found that there were many liars. When he walked around, looked and listened, he often heard about liars and thieves. This shows that people in this world are broken.

    "True scriptures, you must have true scriptures."  There was a voice in Tang Monk's heart that told him that only by seeking the true scriptures could he save the world, appease people's hearts, and save the suffering.

    "Everything you see and hear is ignorance." Ignorance is a Buddhist term, which is almost equal to ignorance.

    "Isn't this the monk who carried the Buddha before?" After taking the imperial examination, Huang Chongxia and her friends met Xuanzang again and invited him to attend the student gathering.

    Tang Monk is handsome, so everyone is happy to play with him.

    It has to be said that handsome boys are popular. These students usually would not invite outsiders casually, but Tang Seng is an exception.  Today they are going to have a dinner in the suburbs and talk about the future.

    After taking part in the imperial examination, if everything goes well, they will soon become Jinshi. Becoming a Jinshi is already a promising future.

    Tang Seng also found out that the person who helped him before was this young student with a beautiful face, who was also a popular candidate for the No. 1 Scholar this year.  This student is a little thin, and his height is not outstanding among many students, but his gentle temperament can really impress people.

    Tang Monk¡¯s Buddhist cultivation greatly amazed the students. These days, everyone is not willing to talk about Confucianism, but is more willing to talk about metaphysics and Buddhism.  This was the disadvantage of the Han Dynasty's exclusive emphasis on Confucianism, which triggered a violent backlash in metaphysics in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and Buddhism in the Sui Dynasty.  It was not until the later Classical Classics Movement that Confucianism rose again.

    It¡¯s likeThere are two switches, one is on and the other is off.  This side is closed, that side is open.

    The students have all read Buddhist scriptures and have an understanding of Buddhism, and they can't stand the monk Chang'an's pursuit of money.  So everyone talked happily, and Xuanzang's name began to spread far and wide.

    After that, Tang Seng was often invited to various student gatherings, where everyone discussed and made progress together.  As the date for the results was getting closer, Huang Chongxia became more and more nervous. Others thought she was worried that she would not win the number one prize, but only she knew that she was actually afraid of winning the number one prize.

    In fact, during this time, she found that she had a slight affection for Tang Seng. However, Tang Seng was a monk, and she also had unavenged revenge and was wronged. She really shouldn't consider the relationship between men and women.  If he could clear his family's grievances, he would definitely return to his daughter's body and come see Xuanzang, but I don't know if he would be willing to return to secular life at that time.

    Yunyao didn't know that she and Tang Seng were going to become love rivals. In fact, if Huang Chongxia liked another man, Yunyao would not stop her from pursuing true love. After all, what Yunyao needed was Huang Chongxia's identity as a man disguised as a man, and she was just using it.  Not really emotional.  As long as Huang Bixia is willing to cooperate as the consort, Yunyao doesn't mind her pursuing true love secretly.  But Tang Seng is obviously not a good choice, because falling in love with him will be very unlucky.

    Yunyao is ready to get married because she knows her emperor father very well. As long as it is not a matter of principle, Li Shimin will support his daughter.

    So Li Shimin did choose Huang Chongxia as the number one scholar, and he had already written the imperial edict.  Of course, Yunyao's fiefdom was indispensable. When she got married, her family would be separated. She had to prepare a dowry for her daughter to ensure that she would have enough food and clothing in the future. The fiefdom tax was Yunyao's pocket money.

    There are also arrangements for the Prince Consort's Mansion and various preparations for the wedding. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun have made arrangements. In short, they will have a grand event and enjoy the people.

    Huang Chongxia hoped that she would not win the first prize, but she still won the first place when the rankings were released.

    The announcement was made in multiple copies and posted in many places in Chang'an. Many people packed the teahouse opposite the announcement early in the morning to watch the excitement, because every time the announcement was released, every place where the announcement was made was bustling with people.

    There are people on the walls, on the trees, on the roofs.  People crowded together, people climbed on each other, it was like a festival.

    "The top one is Huang Chongxia." Someone in the crowd cheered. It seemed that they were all happy to witness a good story. The princess kissed the number one scholar as her consort. This was not a good show before.

    "After Huang Chongxia learned that she had won the first prize, her hands and feet suddenly became cold. What she was most worried about happened.
