Although Li Shimin came in casual clothes, it was still a rare honor for Xiao Yu, so the entire Xiao Mansion was in full bloom when Li Shimin left the palace.

The middle gate of Xiao Mansion opened wide and the ceremonial guards of Princess Xiangcheng and Duke Song were placed from the gate to the entrance of the main hall of the mansion. They were majestic and majestic. In Chang'an, all the men with official titles of the Xiao family were dressed in official uniforms and arranged outside the gate according to Zhaomu (family generation left Zhaomu) and waited for the marquis to welcome the horse.

The other officials who came to participate in the Buddhist Association lined up within the gate of Xiao Mansion according to their ranks. Among them, Xuanzang, the protagonist of the Buddhist Association this time, was standing in front.

From that day on leaving the East Palace, Xuanzang brought his disciples to Xiao Mansion again.

Although the number of Xiao Yu spent so much money and the grand preparations for the Return to the Buddha Association Xuanzang was silent, when the guests invited by the court officials from the Xiangcheng Princess arrived one after another this afternoon, Xuanzang also came out of the small Buddhist temple to greet the senior officials and nobles in Chang'an City.

With Xuanzang's extraordinary experience and outstanding insights, coupled with his arguments, he suddenly became the focus of a group of high-ranking officials and nobles.

After hearing the story of Xuanzang traveling thousands of miles to the Lanketuo Temple in Tianzhu Kingdom to seek scriptures, everyone admired his courage and wisdom.

However, no one noticed that Xuanzang, the monk Hongfa from Famen Temple and several monks from the Western Regions, kept a distance intentionally or unintentionally.

When Xiao Yu took his son-in-law Xiao Rui into the hall, he saw that Chang'an nobles were very pursuing Xuanzang. Xiao Yu was also very happy and walked into the hall with a smile and bowed to everyone and apologized: "I've been so slow to treat you all!"

Everyone in the hall smiled and bowed to him. Xiao Yu continued, "I asked you to come here to recommend these monks to you. But I have been welcoming guests in front of the door too late. I hope you will forgive me."

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Yuchi Gong stepped forward and smiled and said, "Duke Song is such a bad word. Who doesn't know these high-ranking monks in Chang'an City? Why do you need to recommend them?"

Others also said, "Before Master Xuanzang went west, he was a monk from my Tang Dynasty, and Master Hongfa was even the abbot of Famen Temple..."

When Xuanzang and the monk Hongfa heard this, they hurriedly folded their hands together and bowed to everyone and expressed their humility.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "It's better. Today I invite you to come. One reason is that Master Xuanzang returned from the Western Regions. Our Chang'an elders should welcome him. The other reason is that several monks from the Western Regions have a set of Buddhist magical techniques of "turning stones into gold" to be used in Chang'an. I will be the leader and invite everyone to come and watch together."

Xuanzang looked at Xiao Yu after hearing this, and then looked at the monk Hongfa and the monks of the Western Regions standing beside him without saying anything. He knew that Xiao Yu did not say that these monks of the Western Regions were found by the monk Hongfa, and he intended to climb these monks on him.

Sure enough, when the others heard this, they thought that these monks were the monks invited by Xuanzang and were a little moved, and they looked at the monks with their eyes shining.

Although Chinese people have always advocated that foreign monks can recite scriptures, they often have a skeptical attitude towards outsiders who recommend themselves. Someone must stand up and say how people from this country are good, so that people or things can arouse people's interest.

This person is undoubtedly more suitable for Xuanzang to act as a person than Xiao Yu and spreading the Dharma.

When Xiao Yu saw everyone like this, he raised his head and sighed: "I have seen that Buddhist monks have been bullied recently, so I ask you to see the great powers of Buddhism, so as not to believe people and go astray in the future. Not only will the country and the country be worried, but we will inevitably go to the eighteen levels of hell after our death."

Xiao Yu sighed at the end, as if the boundless magic power of the Buddha in the West would cause the Tang Dynasty and these ministers to be in trouble.

But after saying this, none of the people present dared to respond. Not to mention that the main hall of the temple in Chang'an City was thundered, just because of this matter, these people did not dare to express their opinions casually.

Since Li Chengqian attacked Li Shimin outside Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin was sentenced to death in Zhining a few days later and exiled Changsun Wuji, those who did not know the inside story in Chang'an City were sure to believe that Li Chengqian was the destiny of Qin Shihuang's reincarnation.

Gunpowder was even more rumored to be magical under the intentional concealment of the court. Xue Dading and the military generals of the East Palace were almost rumored to be heavenly soldiers and generals.

How could these people not be stupid and talk nonsense with Xiao Yu for the sake of a few monks?

The scene was quite awkward for a moment. Xiao Rui, the commander of the horse, hurriedly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere and said, "My father, I have never heard of the technique of turning stones into gold. No one has seen it with his own eyes and I don't know whether it is true or false. My son has even invited His Majesty. If he can't light gold at that time, it will be a serious crime."

Xiao Yu was angry and didn't notice that Xiao Rui mentioned Li Shimin's intention, thinking that Xiao Rui had never seen the art of turning stones into gold in front of so many people, and was destroying his platform.

He was furious and said, "What have you seen by the little slave? How can this Buddhist magic be fake? When Your Majesty arrives, there will naturally be several monks who will demonstrate it in public. By then, you, a slave who has never seen the world, will know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."

Although Xiao Yu scolded Xiao Rui and the audience felt a little uncomfortable, he heard that when Li Shimin arrived, those monks had to demonstrate in person, so they all waited here with cold eyes and watching.

At this moment, the Malay report that Li Shimin had already left the palace and was about to arrive. The Xiao Mansion and the guests who were pre-suming immediately took their place. Only the monk Hongfa brought a few monks to the Buddhist temple in the back garden of the Xiao Mansion, where Xiao Yu had prepared to use the complete set of tools for the magical art of turning stones into gold.

Li Shimin rode a horse in front under the protection of a group of guards, followed by a four-wheeled oil cart. The car was so unique that it was given to Princess Jinyang by Li Chengqian.

The car is equipped with shock absorbers and is covered with thick fur and silk cotton, making it comfortable for people to sit inside.

But Li Shimin was still worried that Princess Jinyang would be so angry that she would not go fast.

A bearded general who was riding a horse on Li Shimin's Zuoze, with his eyes staring like a copper bell, and his big head shaking from side to side like a wavy drum along the way.

"Wanche, you don't need to look at it. The needles that Chengqian has been trained in Chang'an City are now unable to be inserted. It's very safe along the way. I'm just worried that Jinyang will be shocked when sitting in the car."

Xue Wanche is a legend of the Tang Dynasty. His father was Xue Shixiong, the general of the left imperial guard of the Sui Dynasty. The five and four of Xue Wanche brothers were generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Wanche's life is very legendary. He was famous for his bravery when he was young and was a general under Luo Yi.

The Empress of the Tang Dynasty was a general under Li Jiancheng, and his third brother Xue Wanjun was a general under Li Shimin.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, after Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji died, Xue Wanche led the East Palace guards to attack the Qin Palace. Later, Li Shimin sent someone to pick out Li Jiancheng's head and the East Palace guards were scattered. Xue Wanche still refused to surrender and fled into Zhongnan Mountain with dozens of soldiers and did not come out.

Li Shimin highly praised his loyalty and righteousness, so he sent people to the mountains to announce their outing many times, and after he came out, he also entrusted important tasks.

Last time, Li Chengqian showed the muscles of the East Palace outside the Xuanwu Gate. Although Li Shimin saw through Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining and Li Zhi colluded with each other, proving that Li Chengqian did not have the intention to rebel, Li Shimin still issued an order to transfer Xue Wanche and Cheng Yaojin back to Chang'an City.

Xue Wanche is closer to Chang'an. When he returns to Chang'an City, he acts as Li Shimin's close guard.

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Xue Wanche turned his head and shouted: "If you want to say that I, Xue, really admire the ability of His Royal Highness the Prince. As soon as I, Xue, returned to Chang'an, I heard the people praise the wisdom of the Prince's Palace. I was really enjoyable to listen to the plays arranged in the Eastern Palace these two days haha..."

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard his words, but Xue Wanche mentioned that the dramas arranged in the East Palace sounded satisfying, and even warned him seriously: "You rarely saw Cheng Qian recently. Don't forget that you almost killed the person who played Fahai the day before yesterday. Those people are worshipped by the Eight Wind Palace of the East Palace..."

Li Shimin's meaning is very clear, and Li Chengqian wants to vent his anger for these people.

Xue Wanche said unconsciously: "Captain of the Crown Prince can still make things difficult for a singer and a minister?"

Li Shimin just smiled bitterly when he heard this, and knew that he would not be able to explain it clearly to this guy for a while.

"Besides, who made Fahai so hateful?" Xue Wanche was still angry when he remembered Fahai.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say, "What do you know? Fahai doesn't act like a hateful person. Do the people in Chang'an hate monks so much?"

Although Xue Wanche was reckless, he was one of the most famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian understood these tricks immediately after Li Shimin came out. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It's amazing! It's amazing! Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a wise and powerful martial arts."

However, he laughed halfway, but turned his head to look at Li Shimin's side face and said, "Since the Crown Prince is going to make things difficult for Buddhism, why does Your Majesty still give face to Duke Song? What kind of return to the Buddha's meeting?"

Li Shimin just smiled but said nothing, and as he spoke, he went to the gate of Xiao Mansion...
