Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    From the day he met Dao Zhao, Li Su had no good impression of him, not only because of his subconscious hostility to the Japanese country, but also because he found that Dao Zhao was not very peaceful.  The monks of the Japanese country are not as indifferent to worldly affairs as the monks of the Tang Dynasty. Strictly speaking, the monks of the Japanese country are not monks. Instead, they should be called politicians, diplomats, strategists, or spies.  In short, they can have many identities, except that they do not chant sutras or worship Buddha.  The Japanese state sent such a trouble-making monk to the Tang Dynasty. I really don¡¯t know what their intentions were.  Since he has an ulterior motive, Li Su will naturally not be too polite to him. Everyone is his own master. I can't control you if you are shaking things up in Japan. If you make small moves in the Tang Dynasty, Li Su will not be happy.  So when they met today, Li Su threw a lot of punches and disrupted the atmosphere and rhythm of the chat. When the monk looked confused, Li Su could take the initiative.  Dao Zhao was indeed confused. He found that he was completely unable to keep up with the thinking of this powerful man of the Tang Dynasty. It was too jumping and there was no trace of it.  The visitor is a guest, even though he comes empty-handed, after all, he still has to take care of the face of his friendly neighbor.  So Li Su ordered his servants to serve tea while continuing to chat absentmindedly.  The atmosphere of the chat cannot be quiet, after all, the chat was so enjoyable just now.  "Eminent monk, didn't I tell you when we returned to Chang'an a few days ago? I am very busy, and you are also very busy when you come to the Tang Dynasty as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. Let's see each other if you have nothing to do. Today you come to see me again  "Is there something wrong?" Dao Zhao's cheek twitched, but he still smiled and said: "I have no relatives in the Tang Dynasty, but I have a fate with Duke Li. After getting along for so long, I have always regarded Duke Li as  As a bosom friend, I often think about meeting the county magistrate, so as not to let the friendship fade away, so I came here specifically to reminisce with the county magistrate today" Li Su smiled lightly and said: "We have been separated for less than ten days.  Are you starting to reminisce about old times?" Dao Zhao said hurriedly: "Mr. Li is a talented person, and he is very popular among poor monks, so he took the liberty to come to listen to his teachings. I hope Mr. Li won't blame him." "No.  Blame it or not, you praise me so hard, how can I blame you? Praise me more, our friendship will last forever. Now, let¡¯s get down to business. What are you doing here?  , and he is not very patient, especially when it comes to guests who come in empty-handed" "Dao Zhao's face froze, and he laughed again: "In addition to visiting Mr. Li today, the poor monk also wants to ask Mr. Li a few questions, and also hopes to see Mr. Li.  I don¡¯t hesitate to give you advice.¡± Li Su said leisurely: ¡°In fact, all the problems in the world can be explained clearly using Buddhist concepts. Heaven and earth are empty, all things are empty, power is empty, and your problems are naturally empty. In this way,  I think you must have a clear idea and suddenly become enlightened, be good, go back and knock the wooden fish carefully, don't think blindly" After Li Su finished speaking, he stretched his body, Dao Zhao became anxious, seeing this posture he wanted to see off the guests again.  "Your Majesty, the Buddhist word 'empty', uh is not understood in this way." Li Su rolled his eyes: "I'm not a monk, I can understand it however I want." Dao Zhao sighed: "My Majesty, my Majesty  , The poor monk asked himself that he has never offended you. Why have you always been hostile to the poor monk since the Silla Kingdom?  Yicheng, why do you hate me?" Li Su was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Moral kidnapping? Are you accusing me of being rude?" Dao Zhao lowered his head and said, "I don't dare, but I am entrusted by the Emperor of Yamato.  , was ordered by the emperor to enter the Tang Dynasty, and with a humble and respectful heart, he learned the etiquette and culture of the Tang Dynasty. A poor monk should treat others with humility, and he also hopes that others will treat poor monks with sincerity. " Li Su sighed and said: "Okay, let's go back.  In the pleasant chatting atmosphere tell me, what questions do you have?" Dao Zhao perked up and said, "After the poor monk came to the capital of the Tang Dynasty, he traveled around and accidentally heard that the Tang Dynasty was in the 18th year of Zhenguan.  A new agricultural school was established. The reason for the establishment of the agricultural school was that Duke Li discovered that the yield of rice seeds in the southern Zhenla Kingdom was quite abundant. The yield per acre was one-third more than the original rice fields of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Tianke  His Majesty Khan specially established a new agricultural science for this rice species in order to cultivate improved rice species suitable for the soil of the Tang Dynasty. Is this true? "Li Su narrowed his eyes: "What does the eminent monk want to say?" Dao Zhao looked a little anxious.  Unconsciously, he straightened his waist and said with a respectful expression: "The poor monk would like to ask the county official, is there really such a rice seed in the world?" "Haha, you are kidding, of course not. You were deceived, are you surprised?  Are you surprised? Come and see us off"   Daozhao: "" I have a saying mmp that I don't know whether to say or not "My lord, the poor monk once again begs you to treat me with courtesy." Daozhao knelt on the ground and saluted.  Li Su blinked: "Am I not polite enough to you? You are the only person in recent years who can walk in empty-handed and still sit in the front hall of my house. If I were you, I would be moved to tears" Dao Zhao: "  ¡­¡± At this moment, the maid quietly came in from the door and respectfully served tea to the two of them.  Dao Zhao opened the lid of the Li family's unique gaiwan cup, and a faint fragrance lingered for a long time. Dao Zhao was surprised and focused on the tea in the cup. His nose kept flaring, looking at Wei Wei  Daozhao finally couldn't help but take a sip of the yellowish and steamy tea soup. Then his eyes widened and his expression was filled with admiration. He pursed his lips and squinted his eyes to reflect for a long time before he couldn't help but take another sip.  "Good! The fragrance is pleasant and the aftertaste is long, good! I dare to ask County Master Li, what is this?" Li Su's cheek twitched.  "I made a mistake. I shouldn't have served tea. Now it's better. I'm worried about the thief."  "This is my original tea. Keep it for yourself. How are you doing?" Li Su glanced at him warily.  Dao Zhao said eagerly: "The secret recipe" Li Su said happily: "The secret recipe is to expose the tea leaves to the sun, then add some arsenic, and brew it with boiling water. The eminent monk can try it for himself after he returns. It is really delicious in the world, and it is delicious when you drink it.  Desire for immortality is like ascending to the paradise world" Dao Zhao's expression suddenly became resentful: "Mr. Li, monks are also human beings, and monks are not stupid" Li Su's eyes were full of encouragement: "Try it, you won't die if you try it  " "You will die!" Li Su sighed in disappointment. There are more and more smart people, and there are obviously not enough fools "Okay, let's get back to the topic, what do you really want to know?  "Is it a kind of wax rice?" "Yes." Li Su said leisurely: "I did discover it. I might as well tell you that because of this thing, we, the Tang Dynasty, fought openly and secretly with the powerful country in the west, Tubo, and we worked hard to get it.  With it, as you expected, it can indeed increase the yield by one-third, and it is a sacred thing that benefits all people." Daozhao was stunned, and then said happily: "The poor monk asked me to give this rice seed to the country of Yamato.  If the monks can introduce it, the people of our country will have no worries about food and clothing, and the country will be able to stabilize the country for thousands of years" Li Su said slowly and authentically: "It is true that I discovered the rice seed, but after His Majesty established the Agricultural Science, I did not do it again.  After interfering, now there is no supervisor appointed in the Agricultural School. The young eunuch is Li Yifu. You must have inquired about this. If you are not in his position, you will not seek political advice. If you want to introduce rice seeds, just go to the Agricultural School. Come to me.  What's the use?" Dao Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "The poor monk has visited Li Shaojian, but he always responded perfunctorily, saying that he could not make the decision, and asked me to go to Honglu Temple. Honglu Temple also said that the matter involved Sheji, so let me  The poor monk went to see the Prime Minister of Shangshu Province, but the Prime Minister had been ill for many days and ignored political affairs. The poor monk was chased around like a headless fly in Chang'an City. There was really nothing he could do, so he went to Li County for help.  I would also like to ask Duke Li to come out and say a kind word to the poor monk because of our fate." Li Su yawned and said, "They all treat you like a ball.  Come on, I, a careless person, can't help you with anything. In fact, you can go to the Ministry of Rites and ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to see His Majesty, and plead to His Majesty in person. Your Majesty has always valued your sending an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. If you say so, he will definitely agree.  " Dao Zhao looked sad and said: "The poor monk also tried it, but His Majesty Tian Khan has been ill since returning from the Eastern Expedition. He has not seen any foreign envoys, including the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not accept the poor monk's request at all.  , It is said that Honglu Temple has arranged for us to send the Tang envoy to live in Changping Temple outside the city, so that we can study Buddhist scriptures and the classics of the Central Plains sages in peace, and there is no need to interfere with the rest" Li Su curled up the corner of his mouth, and then spread his hands with a regretful expression:  "Then I can't help you. In fact, you should have seen that I am just an idle county official. I eat and drink at home all day long and do nothing. I rarely interfere with court affairs. If you come and ask me, ask me honestly"  Dao Zhao lowered his head in disappointment and said: "The poor monk came to the capital of the Tang Dynasty with great admiration for the Tang Dynasty. He never expected that he would encounter obstacles everywhere and everything did not go smoothly. It was probably because of the bad luck of the poor monk that he was doomed.  I can't learn more in Datang" Li Su frowned. This statement was obviously about his own bad luck, but there seemed to be something in it, as if he was blaming Datang for being dishonest and putting up defenses.  blame.  "Eminent monk, what do you want to learn when you come to the Tang Dynasty? All the Buddhist scriptures and classics of the sages in the Tang Dynasty are free for you to study. I, the Tang Dynasty, will also arrange accommodation for you, give you food and clothing, and treat you well.""Dear guest, I have done all my courtesy, but you seem to be still not satisfied, and you are very resentful towards me, the Tang Dynasty" Li Su's expression gradually turned cold: "Are you really a monk?"  With all due respect, I have never seen such a monk with six impure roots. You should learn what you should learn, such as rice seeds, thunder and so on. It has nothing to do with you monks. You'd better not worry about it.  Having said that, I hope the eminent monk will think about it himself.  After saying that, Li Su stood up and left. This time, he left the front hall without waiting for him to see off the guests. Dao Zhao sat dumbly in the hall, his expression changing, staring in the direction where Li Su left, his eyes  There was an inexplicable light shining, whether it was hatred or anger Li Su didn't care whether Dao Zhao hated him or not. The powerful Tang Dynasty was his confidence. On the land of Chang'an, Li Su's ability was limited.  Not to mention how tyrannical it was, it should be easy to kill one or two of the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty. Two days later, a fast horse came from Taiping Village, but it was sent by Prince Li Zhi. He invited Li Su to come to Chang'an City and meet Li in the East Palace.  Su Dang even ordered his troops to prepare their horses and set off for Chang'an City. When he returned from the Eastern Expedition, he had deeply remembered what Li Ji said to him. At this moment, Li Zhi was now the prince.  It's different, so your attitude towards him must change immediately, otherwise you will be setting yourself up for death. Maybe it will be difficult to get along with him like a friend in the future. Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but feel a little sad.  Perhaps it is so cruel. After years of erosion and washing, the innocent things have to be covered with a layer of rust, and unknowingly they are different from before. Leading a dozen tribesmen, Li Su and his party entered Chang'an City.  Get off your horse and walk straight to Zhuque Street. The East Palace is located next to the Taiji Palace. It is slightly smaller than the Taiji Palace, but it is still lined with palaces and pavilions, just like the mountains in the distance. Li Su stood in the empty square outside the East Palace gate and stared at it.  Looking at the thick dark red palace door, I breathed a sigh of relief. It has been ten years since I came to this world, but today is my first time to step into the East Palace. It seems a bit ironic and also a bit beautiful. After all, this time I step into the palace.  After going around for ten years, Li Zhi had the last laugh with him. The guards in front of the East Palace Gate had been replaced by the original guards of the Jin Palace. Naturally, everyone knew Li Su.  When Su came, the guards saluted him, and then one of them turned around and quickly went in to report. Not long after, a eunuch came out and invited him in with a smile on his face. Li Su walked into the palace gate and entered the main hall. Li Zhi was dressed in dark clothes.  The man in the yellow royal robe was kneeling behind the desk in the middle of the hall, looking at the book with a sullen expression. Li Su looked at him and couldn't help but smile, looking at him in the same familiar way.  Seeing Li Su entering the palace, Li Zhi's eyes lit up, he threw away the book in his hand, stood up and came forward quickly, "Brother Zizheng, you are finally here!"  " Li Su stepped into the threshold and stood still, and gave a long salute to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, Li Su, pays homage to His Royal Highness.  " Li Zhi suddenly froze when he opened his hands, and then said unhappily: "Brother Zizheng, why do you suddenly pay attention to etiquette?  I'm not used to you being like this" Li Su said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not used to it either, but His Highness is the prince now, and there are differences between monarch and minister. We can't have no rules like before. The Duke of Zhou established the rituals and passed them down for thousands of years.  , after all, we still have to abide by it. Even if Your Highness does not blame the minister, if it spreads to other people's ears, I will be ginseng.  " Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "In the future, when there are people around, you just show off. There is no need to do this when you and I are alone. You and I are friends first, and then we are monarchs and ministers.  " Li Su responded with a perfunctory smile. Then Li Su cupped his hand again and said with a smile: "I have not yet congratulated His Highness on being named the Prince of the East Palace. In the future, His Highness will be able to display his ambitions and achieve great achievements as an emperor.  " Li Zhi returned a salute to him and said: "It is all the credit of brother Zizheng that Zhi can become the prince. In the future, there are many things for Zhi to ask for advice from brother Zizheng. My father also said yesterday that the country's affairs will not be decided in the future.  You can ask Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Kong Yingda and Li Su. However, the first three are all old or confused. When listening to their opinions, you should not take partial beliefs. On the contrary, brother Zizheng is young and smart. Whenever there is internal affairs, he will  Military, diplomatic and other matters can all be discussed with him" Li Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Zizheng, my father thinks very highly of you. He said that Brother Zizheng is lazy. If you want to listen to your opinions, you must have someone.  The hard work of water grinding is slowly grinding out. If Brother Zi Zheng opens his mouth, every word he says must be firmly remembered and cannot be ignored. My father deeply regrets that he did not accept Brother Zi Zheng¡¯s advice during the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo.  This resulted in defeat.  " Li Su smiled: "Your Majesty loves you by mistake.I am so ashamed What else did your Majesty say?  " Li Zhi smiled and said: "My father also said that Brother Zizheng's abilities are unfathomable. He always feels that Brother Zizheng still has a lot of skills that he has not yet revealed. My father ordered me to summon you to the palace if I have anything to do.  Yes, you don¡¯t have to ask anything. Just chat all over the world. As you chat, you will find that Brother Zizheng will always have insightful and thought-provoking insights, which can consolidate the country and stabilize the internal and external affairs. Brother Zizheng is  A true scholar of the country, with the help of brother Zizheng, will never be able to lose his family even if he cannot create a prosperous age in the future.  " Li Su was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I didn't expect that Your Majesty knows how much I know. I'm ashamed!  " After a pause, Li Su suddenly asked: "How is your Majesty?  " Li Zhi's smile froze and he said sadly: "It's getting worse and worse. He needs help from the palace even to stand up. His energy and blood are severely depleted. He can't breathe when he talks too much. The imperial doctors are helpless. My father ordered hundreds of warlocks.  Entering the palace to make elixirs for him to extend his life, I wanted to stop him, but I didn't dare to go against my father's wishes. I have been really confused and heartbroken these past few days.  " Li Su frowned, and finally sighed helplessly. "Everyone knows that warlock elixirs are the way to death, but Li Shimin's reputation is too strong, and Li Zhi dare not dissuade him. In fact, Li Su does not dare to dissuade him. If he can't stop him at this time,  It's hard to say whether Li Shimin would be murderous if he asked Li Shimin to take the elixir. After all, in his eyes, this would prevent him from extending his life and would be a treasonous move. Even if Wei Zheng was resurrected, he would not dare to do it at this sensitive moment.  Li Zhi sighed: "Not only my father, but also the Prime Minister is seriously ill. Now that my father has left the affairs of the court to me, with the help of my eldest grandson and Chu Suiliang, my father no longer has the energy to manage the government."  , Brother Zizheng, after returning from the Eastern Expedition, my father appointed you as Minister Youcheng of the Province. It¡¯s time for you to join the province and help me. You don¡¯t know that I have been really busy dealing with state affairs recently. Fortunately, I have Miss Wu" Li Su Eyelids  He jumped suddenly, but still smiled calmly and said: "Miss Wu, will you also help you manage the government?  " Li Zhi looked embarrassed and said calmly: "I will not comment on Miss Wu's character, but as you said at the beginning, this woman does have a broad vision and decisive methods in state affairs. If she were a man,  He must be a good prime minister, what a pity" Please remember the domain name of this book:. Mobile version website: m.
