Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 477: Bianji goes to Tubo to spread love
"Could they be..."

Li Chengqian was halfway through his words when Li Shimin's face turned green and he looked at him expressionlessly.

Li Chengqian immediately stopped talking.

Su Chen: "Of course not, Your Majesty, you think too much."

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Su Chen speechlessly. The heavy breathing almost scared him to death.

But Su Chen's next words made Li Shimin and his son feel a little uneasy.

“They are not at that stage of development yet.”

"???"

"What do you mean by currently?"

Li Chengqian stared at Su Chen fiercely, "You mean, my sister has feelings for a monk?"

Su Chen: "From Princess Gaoyang's performance, she is indeed the one who licks him. It's just that Bian Ji can still resist his temptation for now, but if it takes a long time, it's hard to say."

Bang!
Li Shimin slapped the table with a grim face, causing the tea in the cup to spill.

"What nonsense!"

"Su Chen, how can you insult a princess like this?"

Su Chen: "..."

After Li Shimin angrily scolded him, he fell silent again, and asked with some hesitation, "Did you see this with your own eyes?"

"Otherwise?"

Su Chen smiled and replied, "No one knows Princess Gaoyang's personality better than the emperor, right?"

"Well, to be exact, Princess Gaoyang and the Emperor have the same personality. How could the Emperor not know what she wants to do?"

Li Shimin fell silent again.

Precisely because it was too clear, there was still a hint of disbelief in his heart.

As a princess, there are all kinds of suitable husbands for you, so why did you choose a monk?
"Ugh……"

Li Shimin sighed and leaned back.

Su Chen estimated that two words were enough to describe that look and expression.

Tired.

Even if he became the emperor, he still had to face such terrible things, and no one could stand it.

"That won't work!"

Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly, "This kind of thing can't happen."

Once it gets out, it will be a huge scandal for the entire Li Tang royal family.

I wonder what kind of rumors will spread among the people!
"Coincidentally, I do have an immature idea."

"Oh?"

Li Shimin sat up immediately, "Tell me in detail!"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty hopes that someone will go to Tubo to stir up trouble. Since Bopo is not going, Bianji is in a dilemma about Princess Gaoyang."

"So, I gave Bian Ji a small suggestion."

"Let Bian Ji go to Tibet?"

Li Shimin slammed the table and stood up, "It's settled. Whether he agrees or not, we must go!"

"clever!"

"What do you think?"

"Father is right!"

Li Chengqian nodded heavily.

Now that such signs have emerged, why don't you get rid of Bian Ji and keep him in Chang'an City to become a nuisance?
Although it was most likely Gao Yang who took the initiative, what did it matter? For the sake of the royal family's reputation, he had no choice but to let him down.

"No need to get so excited."

Su Chen looked at the two in front of him happily, "Let him go to Tubo, he needs to start from the heart, if the two of you force him now, it will be bad."

One is something you do on your own initiative and petition, and the other is something you are forced to do with a knife to your neck. The results are naturally different, and may even be exactly opposite.

Li Shimin said coldly, "If you can use them, use them. If you can't use them, kill them. The Tang Dynasty will not reject monks!"

Su Chen: "..."

OK OK.

You also said that I am bloodthirsty and not a good person, right?
When love happens to you, your reaction is more intense than anyone else's.

Li Chengqian looked at Su Chen, "Do you think he will take the initiative?"

Su Chen: "..."

Li Chengqian continued: "If he doesn't take the initiative, I will help him take the initiative."

Su Chen smiled bitterly. He just gave Bian Ji a heads-up. As for what Bian Ji thought, he should have some time to think about it, right?

"He will probably agree."

Su Chen said frankly, "If you don't agree, you two might as well find someone else."

Li Chengqian nodded.

Li Shimin said coldly: "Even if he agrees, he can't return to Chang'an after going to Tubo."

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Father, you think too highly of him. Maybe he will die in Tubo."

Su Chen: "..."

Okay.

For the sake of your own face, you even forget about planning, right?

"Better so."

Li Shimin snorted coldly, then glared at Su Chen, "You are here purely to disgust me."

Su Chen: "The emperor is wise."

Li Shimin's breathing stagnated and he had the urge to kill someone.

"Haha, I won't bother the Emperor and His Majesty. I'll go to the palace and wait. Maybe he has already gone to my palace."

"hope so."

……

Side by side outside the palace.

Bian Ji had a thoughtful look on his face, and his eyes occasionally looked towards the palace.

Are you going to Tibet?
He had not thought it through and had no preparation, but he knew that Su Chen was famous, and that if he asked him to go to Tubo, he must have his own plans.

Can he do it well?
He was just an ordinary monk.

but.

The thought of Gao Yang's enthusiasm made Bian Ji feel uneasy. An unmarried princess went to a monk to solve her doubts again and again. No matter if anything happened or not, if the news got out, it would cause a lot of discussion.

If something really happened, skinning and slow slicing would probably be the most painful way to die.

"Go to Tibet!"

Bian Ji suddenly took a step forward and came to the gate of the palace.

"Bianji from Hongfu Temple, requesting to see the prince."

"The prince has already informed the mage of your coming, but the prince is not in the palace yet. Mage, please follow me."

"Thank you."

Bian Ji nodded, followed Cao Yuan and walked into the palace.

In just an incense stick of time, Su Chen's carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, Master Bianji is here."

“Not surprising.”

Su Chen smiled and asked, "Is he in the mansion?"

"Exactly."

"Let's go."

"Bianji has met His Majesty."

As soon as Su Chen walked into the main hall, Bian Ji hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, motioning Bian Ji to sit down and talk.

"You came to the palace to look for me so soon, but have you thought it through?"

"Your Highness, I have thought it through."

Bian Ji said seriously, "Your Majesty is right. Instead of being entangled in trivial matters in Hongfu Temple, it is better to go out for a walk, maybe you can get rid of your troubles."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "It's normal for men and women to love each other. Since the mage has already become a monk, he should be vigilant about this."

"However, when you go to Tibet, you can use the hardships of the world to temper your body and mind, so as to reach the state of having no desires. At that time, you may find that women are nothing but skeletons in red powder."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Su Chen waved his hand. Naturally, he didn't care about Bian Ji's flattery.

"But Master, you need to spread the true Dharma when you go to Tibet. Are you ready?"

"I have dabbled in many Buddhist teachings, although I may not be as good as the Tibetan lamas..."

Su Chen interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Master, you don't have to surpass them in Buddhism, you just need to let the people of Tubo see your benevolent heart."

"A heart of fraternity?"

"good."

Su Chen: "What the master has learned is Mahayana Buddhism. Naturally, he wants to transform into a Buddha, walk in the human world, save the people in suffering, and seek liberation for them."

"As long as the master sticks to his original intention, he can be in Tubo as if he were in Chang'an."

After being treated like slaves and pigs and dogs for a long time, if they suddenly meet someone who treats them as human beings, the impact should be quite great.

Bian Ji thought for a moment, "I will follow your instructions, my Lord."

"Okay, go back and prepare. In three to five days at the latest, someone will come to find you to go on the journey together."

"Yes."

Bian Ji stood up and said, "I will take my leave."

"Walk slowly."

"correct."

Bian Ji walked to the door, as if he had thought of something.

Su Chen smiled and said, "Princess Gao Yang won't bother you these days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave now."

Bian Ji smiled, bowed and left.

That's it.

With a well-behaved and philanthropic monk like Bian Ji, and Bai Lang Gu laughing at their "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?", I think the Tubo side should be very lively.

"Send someone to the palace to inform your majesty that Bian Ji has agreed to go to Tubo."

"Yes."

……

Dongying Protectorate.

Su Dingfang looked at the imperial edict in his hand, with a hint of emotion on his face.

He never imagined that this voyage to the East would lead him to become a local governor, in charge of all affairs in Japan.

"Congratulations, Grand Admiral."

Liu Rengui smiled and bowed to congratulate.

Su Dingfang smiled and waved his hand, "If it weren't for General Liu's help, it would not be so easy to pacify Japan. I think General Liu is more suitable for the position of the Grand Commander."

Liu Rengui smiled and said, "I have little experience, so I naturally dare not compete with the governor for this position."

"However, when the Dongying Protectorate sends troops to Goryeo together with Dengzhou in the future and pacifies Goryeo, I will try to get the position of Goryeo Grand Commander."

"Hahaha……"

Su Dingfang laughed loudly, "If you really make great contributions in destroying Goryeo, I will write a letter to you and ask for the title of Goryeo Grand Commander."

Liu Rengui: "Then I would like to thank the Grand Commander first."

Su Dingfang waved his hand, put away the imperial edict, and said slowly: "Your Majesty said that he is preparing to use military force against Goryeo. What do you think about this?"

Liu Rengui: "Your Majesty's plan has been stated in the letter, and the letter has been sent to Yingzhou and Dengzhou. At that time, three armies will be dispatched to attack Goryeo."

"For now, we just lack an opportunity to take action against Gaoli."

"However, I think that since His Majesty has already decided to take action against Goryeo, the reason for sending troops will naturally be finalized soon."

"The most important thing for us right now is to train our troops."

"I think it's the same in Yingzhou and Dengzhou."

Su Dingfang nodded.

Since we are going to send troops to Goryeo, we naturally need a reason.

As for whether this excuse was reasonable or not, that was not their concern. Li Chengqian would make the arrangements.

"As you said, training the navy!"

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "Yingzhou and Dengzhou will definitely arrange their best troops to attack Goryeo, and we must not fall behind."

"Let our brothers in Yingzhou and Dengzhou see that the navy of our Dongying Protectorate is not to be underestimated!"
