Chapter 861 The Ubiquitous Prince Sect

Master Xuanzang was going to spend 28 guan to settle the matter, but now Li Si raised the price to [-] guan.

Therefore, Master Xuanzang originally wanted to save 21 guan, but now, there is no need to save. Master Zhishen still has to spend 28 guan to avoid this disaster.

In fact, the 28 guan was not paid by the Shaolin Temple family, but by temples, Taoist temples, Persianism, Dashijiao and other religious sects in Zhengzhou.

This time Li Zhi did not use the method of attracting one to attack another. On the contrary, he used a very fair strategy for the world's religions - that is, every family needs to be suppressed, and no one can escape.

It's just that Shaolin Temple is the largest temple in Zhengzhou, so it was elected as the spokesperson.

Just when Prince Li Hong was cooking meat with his four little ones in the resident kitchen, Li Xian confidently began to lobby his father and his mother in name, hoping that they would be compassionate and enlighten the world, and make them stable. Face religion with the mentality of people all over the world, and then don't tighten the restrictions on religion.

"...Lao Tzu, also the legacy of the Confucian family, was able to resist. What's more, Yang Mo Shen Han's theory of punishment and name vertical and horizontal, it was repeated and destroyed, and those who contradicted and did not agree with each other, can be said to be more powerful? Of course, all of them can be used to assist the world. The Tai Shi Gong died, and the Shi family came after him. The reason why the solid scholars are surprised by the misfortune is especially because..."

Li Zhi and Wu Mei sat on the brocade, listening to Li Xianzhi's words. After a long time, Li Zhi said to Li Xian: "Go home now, I will make my own judgment."

Seeing his father's kind face, Li Xian thought that his advice had an effect, so he left triumphantly.

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said, "Did you understand what he said just now?"

Wu Meidao: "It's not difficult. Yong Wangxian is very insightful. He believes that Laozi, Confucius, and Yang Moshenhan, the criminal names, are all complementary to the world. They are not contradictory. The differences are just different. As for Buddhism, it is the same, and Buddhism It is not completely contrary to Confucianism. It teaches people to start with good nature and end with good nature. Good religions should not be treated in the same way, but should be treated differently, for example, for Buddhism, the door of convenience should be opened and so on.”

Li Zhi said again: "Do you think he understands the righteousness of my actions?"

Wu Mei said perfunctorily: "I probably know it. After all, as long as you are not too stupid, you can see that His Majesty's doing this is some preparation for the Li family to dominate the world."

Li Zhi bared his teeth and said, "I thought he didn't know."

Wu Mei sneered and said, "Being fascinated by the 28 coins."

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said, "Didn't you mislead him?"

Wu Mei shook her head and said, "No."

Li Zhi said again: "Did the prince not mislead him?"

Wu Mei shook her head and said: "At this moment, the crown prince is taking Li Si, and Yunchu's son and disciples to cook beef in a big pot at the station. With his temperament, he should not be able to do such a thing."

Li Zhi said: "That means being bewitched by villains around you."

Wu Mei shook her head and said: "Zhang Daan, Liu Nayan, Ge Xiyuan, Xu Shuya, Cheng Xuanyi, Shi Zangjie, Zhou Baoning and others around him can be regarded as temporary choices, some of them were not even invited to the Prince's East Palace. "

Li Zhi frowned and said: ""This child has read "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", and "Analects of Confucius", and recited more than ten ancient poems and Fu. He can understand it at a glance and will not forget it.I once asked him to read "The Analects of Confucius", and he read "Xian Xian Yi Se" again and again.I asked why I read it repeatedly, and he said that he liked this sentence very much in his heart. Only then did I know that the child's intelligence came from nature.

Since this child is very smart, why is the thing he does always unsatisfactory? "

Wu Mei proudly patted her stomach and said: "If this child crawled out of the concubine's stomach, he shouldn't do such a thing against His Majesty."

Li Zhi suddenly stood up, pointed at Wu Mei and said, "Are you going to force me to punish this motherless child?"

Wu Mei also stood up and said: "Unless Your Majesty gives up the act of persecuting Buddhism, as Yong Wangxian said, Buddhism teaches people to be good, and there is no malice towards Datang."

The veins on Li Zhi's forehead twitched violently, he pointed at Wu Mei and said, "You don't agree with my treatment of Buddhism, do you?"

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Now that Yong Wangxian disagrees, he has attracted many courtiers and followed up with the memorial. I hope His Majesty will be more reasonable and give them a way out for the sake of Buddhism's bowing down."

Li Zhi sat down again, and said dully: "The words Yong Wangxian said are actually paving the way for you to intercede for Buddhism, right?"

Wu Mei smiled and said: "The concubine just thinks what Yong Wangxian said, and what he said is very reasonable. Just now, His Majesty also said that he would seriously consider Yong Wangxian's advice."

Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and said, "We are a family."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "It's natural, if your son Yong Wangxian doesn't say such things, the concubines will definitely keep silent, no matter what your majesty does, the concubines will always sing and follow suit.

Now that your son has said it, the concubine can naturally say it too. "

Li Zhi thought for a moment, then said to Wu Mei: "Zhou Xing's work in Zhengzhou has been done, he can come back."

Wu Meiying bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is wise and innocent."

Li Zhi said in a moody way: "Don't torment Yong Wangxian, I only hope that he can live well."

Wu Mei said: "In this way, the 28 guan coins raised by Shaolin Temple will be collected by the concubine, and used to make up for the lack of expenses in the harem."

Li Zhidao: "Yong Wangxian has a cold and acts against the sky, but in the end he gets nothing. It is his great misfortune that he was born in the royal family."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "It is also the great fortune of Yong Wangxian to have such a loving father as His Majesty."

Li Si scoffed at the big pot of beef cooked by Li Hong himself.Especially when Li Hong took the three little ones, each of them was eating a big piece of juicy beef, he looked down on him even more.

She always felt that her brother's stay at the house for such a long time was purely for nothing.

Tell the lady-in-waiting to bring over the pan she used to roast the meat.

Just this sound made Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi immediately put down the beef ribs that they kept saying were delicious just now, and stood by Li Si's side waiting to eat something new.

Seeing this, Li Hong also put down the piece of meat in his hand, washed his hands with water, and leaned over to take a look. He didn't believe that the beef made by Li Si would be more delicious than the beef made by him.

You must know that the big pot of beef he cooks has won unanimous praise from the nobles and citizens of Chang'an, and it is a good product that has passed the test of the market.

Li Si is not as extensive as Li Hong. This child likes to eat Yun's desserts, so she has learned a lot from her master. She likes to eat delicate food, so she has learned some simple dishes and how to make some delicate ones. Dalu dishes, one of which is called grilled steak, tastes very good when paired with Yun's unique black pepper sauce.

The most important thing is that when eating this dish, there is no need to use chopsticks, only a knife and fork, and there is a set of very charming dining etiquette. Li Si learned it from Master just because he likes the sense of ritual of eating this dish of.

Seeing the maids and servants helping Li Si get the stove and chopping board, she herself changed into a set of snow-white chef clothes, and the most important thing was a white tall hat with pleats on her head, her imposing manner was suddenly overwhelmed. Out.

"Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the chef could be the prime minister!" Li Si said to Li Hong.

Li Hong nodded and said: "Yiyin is the cook who came here as a dowry, and finally became the prime minister, and exiled the then stupid Wang Taijia to Tong Palace. Three years later, Taijia got better, and Yiyin took him back. , continue to be king.

You look like Yi Yin now. "

Li Si smiled proudly while holding the spatula, and waited for the maid to wrap her apron before putting a large piece of butter into the slightly striped iron pan.

Li Si doesn't do the work of cutting raw beef. Naturally, her personal maid will put the marinated beef ribeye into the iron pot.

Li Hong looked at Li Si's skillful cooking of beef, and asked Yun Jin, who was already sitting at the table covered with sackcloth, "How many times has she cooked it?"

Yun Jin watched the maid set the knife and fork and spread the cloth for him, and then said to Li Si, "It's half done."

Seeing that Yun Jin seemed to be still angry with him, Li Hong sat across from Yun Jin and smiled at Li Si and said, "It's half-familiar."

Wen Huan, who had already taken the seat, suggested to Li Hong: "Brother, Master generally likes to eat medium rare, or you too..."

Li Hong slapped Wen Huan on the head and said, "If you want to dig a hole for me, you have to be half-ready."

When the palace maids put the huge pure white shallow porcelain plates that were still warm one by one in front of Li Hong, he didn't pay much attention to the roast beef that was about to be served.

Picking up the porcelain plate in front of him and looking it up and down, left, right, left, right, and right, he asked Yun Jin, "Have you opened a new kiln in the mansion?"

Li Si put a thick piece of steak on Li Hong's plate, and said angrily, "You have already graduated from the teacher, so don't ask too much about family matters. No matter how good the plate is, it has nothing to do with you."

Seeing Li Hong's serious question, Yun Jin said, "Aye said, when I grow up, even if I don't become an official, I can still burn kilns to support An Ding and our big family. Worm, when Yun’s eats, he eats handcrafted rice, and when he does things like this, he is only tough when he speaks.”

Li Hong raised his hand to touch Yun Jin's round head and said, "Don't worry, I will be here in the future."

Yun Jin shook her head and said: "Aye said, you can't rely on you for everything, if you become a habit of relying on it, the Yun family will be finished, and then not only will it not be your help, but it will also become your burden.

The Yun family is different after all, we want to be a family that is beneficial to all Tang people, and will always be like this. "

Under Li Si's instruction, Li Hong ate the cut steak with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other hand. After taking a bite, he threw away the knife and fork, took a big sip of the grape wine Li Si had prepared for him, and took the chopsticks Chow down on the remaining tender, juicy steak.

After eating, he said to Li Si: "In the future, I will use chopsticks to eat this kind of beef."

Li Si said contemptuously, "There is no sense of beauty."

Li Hong snorted coldly and said, "This is the prince's teaching."
