I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 353 Power from the Empress!to be frank!How is Chengqian's illness? !
Looking at Xuanzang who was kneeling on the ground, Changsun Wugou's expression did not change.

"Master Xuanzang, please get up."

She raised her hand and said,

"Buddhism and Taoism also belong to the government affairs of the imperial court. The country has laws and regulations, and the harem cannot interfere in politics."

"So, Your Majesty, I can't persuade you."

Xuanzang couldn't help feeling sad when he heard the words.

"Xuanzang, get up quickly, the Empress Empress is here to pray for His Highness the Crown Prince, so don't make things difficult for your empress."

Yuanjing stepped forward to help Xuanzang and pulled him behind him.

Immediately, he saluted his grandson Wugou again and said:
"Amitabha Buddha... Your Majesty, Xuanzang offended you by praying to the Buddha wholeheartedly. I hope you will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter." The eldest grandson Wugou waved his hands, then knelt down on the futon again, praying sincerely.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Xuanzang looked even more lonely.

He is not afraid of death, not afraid of all kinds of difficulties and dangers.

In order to obtain the scriptures, even if he died in the desert, at the mouth of wolves, tigers and leopards, he would have no regrets!
But now, even the first step to leave Datang is so difficult!

Not reconciled...

"The empress is so sincere in worshiping the Buddha, she must be able to impress the Buddha and bestow blessings on her."

Yuanjing smiled warmly,

"I believe His Royal Highness will recover soon."

The eldest grandson Wugou got up and nodded, saying:

"Borrowing the auspicious words of the master."

"Qingque, Ke'er, you all come to worship the Buddha, let's go back to the palace."

In fact, she also understands.

Praying for blessings, what I want is just a psychological comfort, which can make my heart feel more comforted.

Boom boom, boom boom!
The children kowtowed firmly and murmured:

"I hope that big brother will recover soon and hang out with us as soon as possible!"

"Get better soon, brother, get better soon..."

"..."

Although they fought and fought and were not convinced by each other on weekdays, Li Chengqian was really sick, and the brothers were more anxious and devout than anyone else.

Even Xu Fenglei looked up at the golden statue, folded his hands lightly, and bowed.

"Empress, why don't you have a fast meal in the temple?"

Yuanjing invited,

"The vegetarian dishes in this temple are all grown in our own land, and there is a mushroom forest in the back mountain, which tastes very delicious."

Grandson Wugou shook his head.

"I'm a little tired. Next time I come, I'll have a meal in the temple."

she whispered,

"Master Yuanjing, thank you for your guidance."

"Amitabha."

Yuanjing and other monks also looked solemn, and hurriedly returned the salute:

"Amitabha, the old monk will see off his wife."

After being escorted by a group of monks, Changsun Wugou left Xingguo Temple and got into a carriage.

Along the way, Xuanzang also followed, but kept his head down and said nothing.

"Master Xuanzang."

Suddenly, someone called him.

"Ok?"

He looked up and saw a familiar face.

It was the guy who wanted to bite him just now...

"I'm somewhat interested in your Westward Journey to Learn Buddhist Scriptures."

Xu Fenglei showed his white teeth, waved and smiled,

"If you are free, you can find me at the Fenglei Bank in Chang'an West City, and we can have an in-depth exchange."

"Perhaps it will be of benefit to you."

"gone."

It was a pity that Xuanzang took this road on his westward journey only after a lot of painstaking efforts.

If it is said that he is going to embark on this road after all, then Xu Fenglei thinks that he can use this to open up a new silk road for trade on the road!

In the future, if Datang wants to expand its territory and take up the idea of ​​the Western Regions, then this is also an excellent opportunity!

Xuanzang was startled, and subconsciously nodded.

"Thank you benefactor."

He bowed slightly, and when he looked up, Xu Fenglei had already gone away with the Queen's carriage.

"This is really a weirdo..."

Xuanzang murmured.

"Strange person? This person is the prince and grand teacher of the dynasty, and he is highly regarded by His Majesty. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has power in the court and the public."

A middle-aged monk beside Yuanjing responded,
"Xuanzang, if you can make friends with him, let him help you speak well in front of His Majesty, it may be better than Xiao Xiangguo's words, even better than the empress's words!"

Xuanzang: "?!"

In an instant, his eyes lit up, and there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

As long as there is the slightest chance, he will not give up!
……

Deng Deng Deng!
The convoy was driving on Suzaku Avenue.

Xu Fenglei was driving a steed, while escorting the empress, while looking around.

People from south to north gather here, and the population of Chang'an is increasing.

As the national strength of Datang rises day by day, the population density of Chang'an is bound to usher in explosive growth!
At that time, it is no exaggeration to describe it as an inch of land and an inch of gold!

"The bank's profit model is too simple. After absorbing so much savings, it's time to invest in real estate."

Xu Fenglei touched his chin and murmured softly,

"The skyrocketing housing prices in this capital are already a certainty, but there are 108 squares in Chang'an, some of which have huge room for appreciation, while others are not bad."

"It has to be carefully screened. Once we make a move, we have to eat the fattest meat!"

"Um……"

He calculated carefully in his mind.

For example, the land in the south of the city is relatively deserted and not suitable for investment, but it is suitable for eating a large area and building a college.

And the plots around Dongxifang City and the Imperial City will definitely become a big hit. If you buy it now, it will not be a problem to double it by ten or eight times in the tenth year of Zhenguan, and it will be a 1000% yield by then!Make more money than loan sharks!
……

"Teacher, Empress, please enter the carriage to talk."

Just as he was thinking happily, suddenly, a maid poked her head out of the car and waved to him.

"Oh?"

Xu Fenglei was slightly surprised, nodded and said,
"understood."

He handed over the steed to the accompanying guards and entered the carriage.

Logically speaking, only the emperor and his family members can enter the queen's carriage, but the eldest grandson Wugou doesn't treat Xu Fenglei as an outsider, so Xu Fenglei naturally can't twitch.

"Empress, are you looking for me?"

As soon as he entered the carriage, Xu Fenglei saluted respectfully.

Several children were playing and laughing, making the carriage noisy.

This made him relax a bit.

"Well, sit down."

Grandson Wugou waved his hand and said,
"There are desserts on the table. There is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I specially ordered it to be sweeter. It should suit your taste."

Xu Fenglei's heart trembled.

Treat him so well?
flattered...

"Thank you madam."

He happily sat down, put an osmanthus cake into his mouth, his eyes lit up, and praised,

"This flavor is well seasoned! Delicious, delicious!"

"Uh... a bit boring, ma'am, how about I open a window?"

The left and right windows were covered by thick curtains, and the interior of the carriage seemed to be a secret room.

Even if the queen doesn't care, he still has to avoid suspicion!

"can."

The eldest grandson Wugou looked indifferent.

wow.

wow.

The two curtains were lifted, and the originally dark carriage suddenly brightened.

"call--"

Xu Fenglei laughed,
"You need to breathe more fresh air, so that you can live longer."

With such openness, there is no psychological burden when speaking.

"Listen."

The eldest grandson Wugou suddenly said,
"Do you think that praying to Buddha is useless?"

Xu Fenglei pondered for a while, shook his head and smiled:
"That's not..."

"Just...how about this, let me tell you a story?"

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded.

As soon as the children heard the story, they immediately gathered together and looked at Master expectantly.

"It is said that one day, a certain scholar went to the temple to worship the Buddha, and while he was praying, he suddenly found that there was another person beside him."

Xu Fenglei said,

"That man has a compassionate face and a golden light on his body. It would be foolish for that scholar to see him!"

"The one next to him is none other than the Buddha he worships! Has the Buddha appeared?"

"He was about to speak, but he saw the Buddha also kneeling on the futon, bowing reverently and worshiping. This time... the scholar will not be able to fix it."

"He couldn't help but ask—are you... a Buddha?"

It has to be said that Xu Fenglei is very talented in storytelling.

As he said this, Changsun Wugou's attention was also completely attracted, staring at Xu Fenglei, waiting for his next words.

Not to mention the few children, they looked straight at the master.

"That human said, yes, I am a Buddha."

Xu Fenglei said again,
"Now the scholar was confused and asked——you are a Buddha, so why do you still worship yourself?"

"Guess what the Buddha said?"

The eldest grandson Wugou and the other children subconsciously shook their heads.

"The Buddha said—that's right, so asking others is better than asking yourself!"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"Pfft hahaha..."

All the children laughed, and even the maids standing in the carriage couldn't help laughing.

The eldest grandson Wugou also pursed his lips and smiled.

"So, whether worshiping Buddha is useful or not depends on how you worship."

Xu Fenglei restrained his smile and said seriously,
"If what you worship is just that clay statue of a god, it will definitely not be of much use. It is the same as if you worship a stone or a river. There is no difference."

"But if what you worship is not the clay statue, but the self reflected through the golden lacquer, it will definitely be useful if you continue to strengthen your confidence and strengthen your faith during blessings and prayers."

"Never underestimate the power in your heart, that power is enough to shake mountains and rivers, help us climb mountains and ridges, and overcome difficulties and obstacles!"

Changsun Wugou nodded slowly, with a serious expression.

"I understand."

she applauded,

"What you said is the correct answer."

"No matter how powerful a person is, there are times when he is helpless. At this time, he chooses to pray to God and Buddha, not because of superstition, but to strengthen his own belief."

"What he worshiped was actually himself."

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"That's why the Buddha said that all living beings are Buddhas. Worshiping oneself is worshiping Buddha. There is nothing wrong with it."

he said,

"Of course, people with a truly strong heart don't even need to pray to Buddha. They will always be steadfast and persevering. No matter how big setbacks they need, they will never doubt themselves. Get it!"

"Therefore, there is a saying in the "Book of Changes", that those who are chaste must be lucky!"

"These principles, regardless of Buddhism and Taoism, are actually interlinked. It depends on how people explain and comprehend them."

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded in praise with a face full of approval.

"Okay, that's a good solution."

She turned to look at Li Tai and other children, and said,

"Children, you still need to learn more from your master. Compared with him, you are still far behind!"

"Study hard, even if you learn [-]% or [-]% of your master, you can be regarded as outstanding heirs of the emperor."

"Yes, Queen Mother. My children will always remember Master's teachings." All the children nodded obediently and looked at Xu Fenglei with reverence.

To say that the person they respect the most, apart from their father Li Shimin, is their master Xu Fenglei.

In fact, they are more in awe of their father.

As for Master, it is true respect and worship.

"Listen, after listening to your words, I feel more at ease. Begging and begging, in the end, I am asking for myself."

Changsun Wugou looked at Xu Fenglei and said slowly,
"You also tell me honestly, how is Chengqian's illness? Is it serious? Is there... is there a cure?"

"Don't prevaricate me anymore. It's not necessary for you and Sun Zhenren to cooperate with ordinary minor illnesses."

Xu Fenglei: "?!"

Hearing this, his pupils shrank involuntarily.

The queen's eyes were deep at the moment, as if she could see everything, so he couldn't find any excuses!

Although he wasn't staring at him closely, he still felt a thorn in his back.

"to be frank!"

Changsun Wugou slightly accentuated his tone, saying,
"In the past few days, I have also checked some medical books and asked many imperial physicians."

"The disease of thirst is not a trivial disease, but a difficult and miscellaneous disease. Physicians of all ages have been helpless against this disease! Many patients have died of it!"

"So, you don't have to hide it from me anymore, I'm prepared."

After all, she took a deep breath and stared straight at Xu Fenglei.

From praying to now, she is not in a good mood, and she is not interested in doing anything, that's why.

Her son is "terminally ill", how can she have the mood to do other things?
When she asked at this moment, she had already prepared for the worst.

"Uh... hey!"

Xu Fenglei had no choice but to say,
"Nothing can be hidden from the wise eyes of the empress."

"This thirst disease itself is not terrible. What is terrible is its complications. If it is not serious, it will be fine in this life; if it is serious, it may die, or even die in a short time!"

The eldest grandson Wugou's face turned pale, and his figure shook.

On the side, Li Qingquan immediately supported her, with a worried expression on his face.

The children were all silent, and the atmosphere in the carriage was a little depressing.

"Your Majesty, don't be alarmed. Fortunately, Chengqian is only in the early stages. As long as he takes good care of himself, and has a strict diet and schedule, he should be fine."

Xu Fenglei also hurriedly comforted,
"I assure you, he will never die young!"

Li Chengqian in history lived to be 26 years old because he was exiled for rebellion.

In the harsh environment, coupled with worry and anger in the heart, physical illness, and the situation of being threatened and harmed by someone, it is normal to have a short life.

Now I discovered it early, and I am there again.

Even if it is conservatively speaking, it is not too much to prolong life by more than ten years, right?
"Really?"

Changsun Wugou shook Li Qingquan's hand, his eyes were slightly flushed, and said,
"Aren't you kidding me?"

Xu Fenglei nodded with determination.

"It's definitely not a lie!"

He continued,
"Chengqian will grow up healthy and healthy, and I will be filial to you for the rest of my life!"

"I vouch for my character!"

　Two in one, 4000 words.
