As soon as this was said, several generals looked at Li Chengqian awkwardly. Until this time, they still thought that Daxingshan Temple was the territory of Buddhism. Now that the monk came to ask for Li Chengqian, it must be very difficult.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian did not have the awareness of occupying the magpie's nest at all, and asked calmly: "All the monks in Chang'an City were captured by Tianfan and were caught in Longshouyuan as coolies. Where did the monks come from?"

The Eastern Palace guard replied hurriedly: "The monk who is so thin and black, said that he was Xuanzang who went to India to seek scriptures. He also said that he met His Highness."

After hearing this, Yuchi Gong glanced at Li Chengqian and said to the guard directly: "Since he is a monk who has returned from going to the Kingdom of Heaven to obtain the scriptures, let him stay in another temple first!"

Yuchi Gong had just received an invitation from Xiao Yu at home, asking him to attend the Buddhist return meeting.

Yuchi Gong has been practicing Taoism at home these days and was not concerned about Buddhists, but he heard that Xuanzang went to India alone to seek scriptures. After walking back and forth for more than ten years, he finally took back the scriptures.

Therefore, I admire Xuanzang very much, so I replied to the book and went to attend the Buddhist return meeting held by Xiao Yu.

Because he was worried that Xuanzang would suffer a great loss in the battle with Li Chengqian at this time, he made a fuss to avoid the head-on conflict between Xuanzang and Li Chengqian.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian shook his mind and said, "Since it's Xuanzang, let him come in and see how the Lone King demolished these Buddha statues."

"Abide by the order!" The guard turned around and passed Li Chengqian's order.

Yuchi Gong looked at the guard leaving and thought about his ideas, bowed and bowed to Li Chengqian and persuaded him: "Why should your prince make things difficult for a monk? This matter was reported because the prince's reputation was not good, so let him go."

Li Chengqian glanced at Yuchi Gong and said lightly: "Xuanzang is not an ordinary monk, otherwise Duke Ye would not have made any moves for him so enthusiastically."

"Uh?" Yuchi Gong was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Xuanzang suffered because he was too enthusiastic. He thought to himself: If the prince really wants to kill someone, he will not be able to protect Master Xuanzang.

Li Chengqian opened the folding fan and shook it gently, and said to Li Jing who was standing next to him as if nothing had happened: "Duke Wei Guo was in good health recently?"

Li Jing hurriedly bowed with his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Old Master Hong Fu, is still in good health."

Li Chengqian also laughed and said, "It's good if Duke Wei is in good health. The Lone King discussed with his father a few days ago that our Royal Military and Political Court of the Tang Dynasty would invite you to preside over the presidency. You should be the first president."

Li Jing never expected that Li Chengqian would ask him to preside over the Military and Political Academy, and hurriedly refused: "The old minister has been unable to serve for many years. How can he be the first dean?"

Li Chengqian shook the folding fan in his hand and laughed: "Donald Wei Guo doesn't have to be humble first, follow the orphan king in and take a look." Then he walked in first.

Everyone followed Li Chengqian and looked at the Daxingshan Temple while walking in.

In order to practice the injured foot, Li Chengqian usually walks without turning around. At this time, he did not forget to shake the folding fan, so the group walked very slowly.

Everyone followed Li Chengqian into the first courtyard and saw a pile of Buddha statues and niches piled up in the middle of the courtyard, and some civilians were carrying them from behind.

Everyone who came from the East Palace knew that Li Chengqian was demolishing the temple, but Li Jing and Yuchi Gong had just arrived here and didn't know Li Chengqian's plan.

"Your Highness, Prince, what are you going to do?" Yuchi Gong said in shock.

Li Chengqian looked at the junk and said with a smile: "Of course, it's time to free up the place to be a military and political academy."

"Stop it, you, the group of god-killed people, dare to destroy the Buddha's golden body..." As he said that, several monks rushed to the men carrying the Buddha statue to block their way.

"Rareless! You dare to speak rudely in front of the Prince's Hall, and someone will take down these monks!" Before Li Chengqian could react, Li Daliang was already standing in front of Li Chengqian and ordered loudly.

The guards of the East Palace immediately stepped forward and captured Xuanzang and his disciples and arrested them in front of Li Chengqian. Only then did the monks understand who was the boss here. Although they were not convinced, they did not dare to speak casually.

Li Chengqian walked out from behind Li Daliang and saw that among the few monks, Xuanzang, was only the guards who were escorted without saying a word or fighting for a moment, and he smiled indifferently and said, "Let Master Xuanzang go." The guard let go of Xuanzang after hearing this.

Xuanzang was also calm, and after being released by the guard, he calmly tidied up the monk's robes, then folded his hands together and bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "I will see His Highness the Prince."

"Flat!"

"Thank you, Prince! Xuanzang bowed his head and bowed again.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly and ignored him. He looked back at the generals who were following him and said, "The Buddha statues here will be cleaned up in a few days. This place was originally called the Great Hall. Later, it will be converted into the God General Hall to worship some loyal and brave generals from all generations. Think about this Duke of Wei, who are you offering to?

I will submit a memorial to ask Your descending order to be appointed as God-Generals."

Li Jing and others heard this and bowed and said, "I will obey the order."

Li Chengqian then said: "Your Majesty missed Zheng Wenzhen Duke Wei Zheng a few days ago, and wanted to paint dozens of portraits of founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty in Lingyan Pavilion. It would be impossible for the Lonely King to hang the portraits in Lingyan Pavilion. Here, there are also several portraits of the generals of our Tang Dynasty, so that people come here to learn from our Tang Dynasty's generals to defend their country."

Originally, as soon as Wei Zheng died in history, Li Shimin asked Yan Liben to paint the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion.

However, after Li Chengqian traveled over, Wei Zheng was about to rebel when he died. At that time, Li Shimin was not in the mood to miss the old minister who fought with him.

Later, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had a quarrel, and Wei Zheng was loyal to Li Chengqian and Li Shimin was even more impossible for someone to paint him.

It was not until Li Shimin and Li Chengqian got together again that Li Shimin mentioned the idea of ​​drawing the heroes in Lingyan Pavilion.

This matter is not a secret in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Li Chengqian mentioned that he wanted to hang a few pictures here, which was naturally a military general. People here were obviously qualified to hang them in. To put it bluntly, it was just to win people's hearts.

Sure enough, these old foxes understood and saluted to Li Chengqian excitedly and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise."

Li Chengqian laughed and said, "It's better to work together."

"I will die for the Tang Dynasty!"

...

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Chengqian continued to walk in.

"Your Highness, how can I change this to my Buddhist quiet place for other purposes?" Xuanzang couldn't help it.

Li Chengqian looked at him, reached out to gesture at the entire Daxingshan Temple and said, "The Gu Wang Xuanzang clearly told you that this is my place in the Tang Dynasty, not a pure Buddhist land. These halls and pavilions were all built by national treasury and people's wealth, and they have nothing to do with the Buddha.

The Lone King now takes back the officers who were used as the imperial court to train troops, and these officers will defend their country in the future."

Xuanzang was stunned when he heard this. He saw the piles of broken Buddha statues and other objects, and chanted Li Chengqian with eleven rituals: "What the Prince of Prince said is very much. This place is the place of the Tang Dynasty. If the Prince of Prince wants to take it back for another purpose, he can naturally take it back."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned and thought Xuanzang was going to compromise, and only Li Chengqian knew that there must be something next to him.

Sure enough, Xuanzang pointed to the broken Buddha statue and said, "But these Buddhas are always Buddhist things. Even though the monks here have been sent by heaven, the Buddha and the Buddhas have not been sent by heaven. He also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show mercy and let me take all these Buddhist things away."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he pointed to the broken Buddha statue and asked coldly: "Xuanzang, do you say these things are all Buddhist things?"

"That is, where can I worship Buddha statues besides Buddhism?"

At this time, Xuanzang wanted to use his argumentative skills to defend Daxing Shan Temple again, but unfortunately he met Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian pointed to the broken Buddha statue and looked at Xuanzang and said, "Is this a Buddha statue? Then what are you telling the Lone King Buddha?"

"Uh..." Ren Shixuanzang couldn't explain clearly what Buddha was.

At this time, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen had not yet been born. Xuanzang said to deceive Li Chengqian that Buddha was the Buddha of Tathagata, but with Xuanzang's current level, he really couldn't explain the "Buddha" in Sanskrit.

Xuanzang couldn't explain it, but Pu Guang, who was still being escorted, shouted: "Buddha is Buddha. How could Buddha be something else?"

Li Chengqian nodded and continued to ask, "Since that's the case, how could the Buddha be like?"

"Well……"

All monks, including Xuanzang, were trapped in pain.

When Li Chengqian saw them frowning and thought for a long time, he found nothing, and said proudly: "Lonely King tells you! Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing at all, where can dust be caused?"

"Ah!" Xuanzang was stunned when he heard this.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian laughed and said, "It's easy to comprehend it when you go back!"
