Chapter 197 Gold in the Coal

Just as everyone was wondering how fierce the battle between Li Chengqian, Xiao Yu and Buddhism would be, Li Chengqian walked in with a crutch and smiled.

"Sons and sons come to Fathers!"

"Chengqian is not etiquette, come and sit next to me!" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a gentle expression.

When Li Chengqian walked to the seat beside Li Shimin, everyone with the congregation stood up to salute him.

"I will meet with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face: "Everyone is calm!"

After everyone sat down, Li Chengqian first raised his glasses with both hands to toast Li Shimin. Li Shimin drank the wine and gave Xiao Yu a wink, meaning that Xiao Yu took the initiative to toast Li Chengqian to show his weakness.

But Li Chengqian didn't wait for Xiao Yu to take action and said with a smile: "I heard that Jinyang's illness has been cured, and my father was happy to go to the sister in Xiangcheng to have fun, so I specially brought a few prostitutes to cheer my father up."

Before Li Shimin could speak, Xue Wanche, who was sitting behind him, said loudly: "Dare you the Crown Prince want to perform another "The Legend of the White Snake" here?"

As soon as this statement came out, Xiao Yu's face looked bad, but Li Chengqian said angrily: "You have not recovered from the singing girl who played Fahai because you were beaten to death. How can you act in "The Legend of the White Snake"?"

Xue Wanche smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "That's really abominable. I'm just a mistake... I'm willing to pay for him to recover."

Xiao Yu and the monk Hongfa's faces had turned into a tiny blue color.

Li Chengqian knew that Xue Wanche was just a messenger, so he was very important to deal with Xiao Yu, so he waved his hand and said, "I won't talk about it now, I'll just send two cents of money to the East Palace tomorrow."

Xue Wanche was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to say that you would ask me for the two guanqian, but Li Chengqian did not give him a chance to speak. He waved his hands behind and walked in between the two young men.

"Father, let them tell you a joke, and you can just listen to it." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin wanted to reconcile the relationship between Li Chengqian and Xiao Yu and the Buddha's sect, so he naturally would not refuse Li Chengqian's request at this time.

Seeing Li Shimin nodding, Li Chengqian gave the two new young men a look, and the two began to talk.

This passage was told to them by Li Chengqian based on the modern crosstalk "Tie the Doll".

It mainly tells the story of a neighbor telling an official that your parents had no son, so they went everywhere to burn incense and pray for children. Finally, his mother lived in the temple alone for a few days before becoming pregnant.

When everyone heard, “Slowly, my father has no son, where did I come from?”

Everyone laughed during the meal, especially Xue Wanche laughed so hard that he fell back and forth.

It was just that when this person's parents went to Mount Emei to pray for a child, he talked about leaving his mother alone in the Main Hall for seven days, and everyone below understood that Li Chengqian was in the Black Buddha again.

When he heard the neighbor at the end, he said, "How spiritual is the old monk!" The two young men who told the story retreated.

The whole hall laughed loudly, Xuanzang looked calm, while Xiao Yu and several monks were full of anger.

"Hmph!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but snorted angrily.

Everyone felt embarrassed when they felt relieved, and gradually stopped laughing. Only Xue Wanche still patted the table in front of him with both hands and laughed.

Li Shimin couldn't help but look back and glared at him, and Xue Wanche could barely stop laughing, but his eyes kept looking at Xiao Yu with a bad smile.

He was furious when Xiao Yu was furious and couldn't help but say to Li Chengqian: "How can the crown prince, the crown prince, be enthusiastic about such common words?"

This is Li Chengqian's low taste.

Li Chengqian sneered and said, "Just just asking Mr. Xiao, in the fifth year of Yin Gong in "Zuo Zhuan", 'Spring, the Duke will be like a Tang to watch the fishing fish...' How to explain it?"

Xiao Yu was speechless when he heard this, Li Shimin's face became very ugly, and everyone else at the scene was scared silently.

The question Li Chengqian asked Xiao Yu at this time was that Duke Yin of Lu was recorded in "Zuo Zhuan" to go to Tang to watch local people fishing. The ministers believed that this was not what the monarch should do (at that time, the main purpose of Lu State was to hunt farms and not fishing).

This article mainly talks about the ruler in everything he does, what he should do in spring and what he should do in summer, and watching fish should not be what the king does.

When Li Chengqian mentioned it at this time, it was naturally an allusion to Li Shimin who should not come to Xiao’s house to light stones and gold.

Xiao Yu, as the minister, actually invited the emperor to see these strange things, and could almost be classified as a traitor and villain.

After a while, the monk Hongfa smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness the Prince doesn't know that the Indian monk invited by me today can turn stones into gold. The Duke of Song asked His Majesty to come and watch it for the sake of state affairs."

Xiao Yu also said unhappily: "That's right! The national use is a major national event, and it is natural for Your Majesty to come and watch."

Li Chengqian snorted coldly when he heard this, and looked at the monk Hongfa snorted and said, "Let's turn stones into gold, then give the Lone King one."

Li Shimin said with a look of expression: "Go and ask the monk from Tianzhu to demonstrate it again for the prince to see!"

Li Shimin realized that he had come to Xiao Mansion to see the stones turned into gold by the monks of the Indian Palace. If this cannot be confirmed, the history books will definitely record his enthusiasm for monks in the future.

But if the Indian monk can really turn stones into gold, it can also be remembered because he is so virtuous that the Indian monk came to the Indian monk to turn stones into gold for the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, that monk from Heaven has just finished his ritual. He is afraid that he will consume his magic power very seriously..."

"Aren't there a few Indian monks?"

The monk Hongfa was interrupted by Xiao Yu before he could finish his words. The monk Hongfa couldn't help but scold Xiao Yu for being a cheater in his heart, but when he saw Li Shimin's expression and Li Chengqian's eyes, he swallowed everything he wanted to say.

He has been in Chang'an City for a while and knows that Li Chengqian is terrible. He knows that if he cannot turn stones into gold again today, Li Shimin is suspicious that Li Chengqian might have killed him.

Seeing the monk Hongfa walking towards the small Buddhist temple with great worries, Li Chengqian sneered in his heart and said: This is just the beginning.

At a moment, the monk Hongfa came back with confidence and bowed to Li Shimin and Li Chengqian to watch.

Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "Go and take a look!"

Li Chengqian chuckled and stood up and followed Li Shimin, and came to the big Buddha statue in front of the Xiao Mansion's small Buddhist temple.

Li Chengqian saw several monks loading coal into the cauldron. Under the light, it was clearly seen that some of the coal blocks were dug out of unprocessed natural coal blocks, and some were obviously processed like coal cakes.

"Is the gold burned from here?" Li Chengqian walked forward and pointed to the coal block.

"The prince's gold was not burned. The burning of these charcoals was only for the fire when casting spells. The fundamental thing was to do the Indian monk doing the Dharma and chanting sutras." The monk Hongfa said calmly.

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at the monk Hongfa and asked directly: "That is to say, there is no gold in these charcoals now?"

Before the monk Hongfa spoke, Li Shimin said sarcastically: "The monk in India has not done anything yet, so there is naturally no gold inside."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was about to speak and turned around and saw that several monks had already put the coals into the cauldron. He was about to light the fire and shouted loudly: "Slow down!"

As he said that, he limped to the cauldron with a cane, lifted the cane and reached into the cauldron and pointed at a coal road: "Go through and break this charcoal for the Lone King, there is gold in it."

Before everyone could react when they heard this, they saw Cheng Wuting jumping out of nowhere and running to Li Chengqian. He bent down and took out a charcoal in front of everyone. The charcoal was broken with both hands and force. The sharp-eyed man saw a little yellow light from a pile of cinders.

Li Chengqian pointed with a crutch, and Cheng Wuting bent over and picked up a piece of gold from the pile of coal, wiped off the coal ash with his hands and raised it for everyone to see clearly.
