Chapter 500 Candidates all come to the Inspiration Temple to borrow a stay

So many people came to Inspiration Temple, but it was not because of themselves. Wang Ping'an felt a little disappointed. To be honest, he had done so many things, and it was too exaggerated to say that all the people in the world had received his benefits, but at least most of the people near Chang'an had received his favors. I won't mention the new disaster relief laws and smallpox. The Olympics alone solved the livelihood problems of many people, allowing them to spend this winter with ample hands.

As a result, after doing so many things, it would be better to Tang Xuanzang recite Amitabha Buddha a few words... Where can I go to reason with it!

Riding a big red horse and approaching the temple gate, Wang Ping'an suddenly thought: "This is back. Even I am staying in the Inspiration Temple. Isn't I also under the blessing of Amitabha Buddha? Why am I mentally unbalanced? How much more popular than Tang Xuanzang? There is no need for this!"

After thinking about it again and again, he felt much more comfortable. He smiled on his face, came to the gate of the temple, turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Everyone, fellow villagers, please lend me some people, I live in this temple!"

As he spoke, Wang Ping'an was about to pass through the crowd and enter the Inspiration Temple. When Ouyang Li saw him coming back, he called out to the master, pushed the crowd away, and came to lead the horse for Wang Ping'an.

The people around the temple gate were old and young, and everyone was carrying large and small bags, none of them came empty-handed. When they heard Wang Ping'an talking, they turned around together, and their faces showed a look of joy.

A scholar-like man shouted, "Oh, isn't this a prince? Are you living in Inspiration Temple? Fortunately, I'm glad, student Cao Yuan, pay homage to the prince!" He stood outside, carrying a big bag on his shoulder, and had not squeezed to the gate of the temple just now, so he had to stand outside and shout, but as soon as Wang Ping'an came back, he immediately became the closest person to Wang Ping'an, and ran over and greeted him with a smile.

Seeing that he had taken the initiative, someone immediately shouted: "You have known that the prince lives in Inspiration Temple for a long time. I was just shouting to see the prince, but now I am pretending to be a coincidence!" The person who called out also dressed as a scholar, but he was a little older.

Someone shouted, "Prince, the student is here to greet you!" He also dressed as a scholar.

Wang Ping'an said oh, and he handed the reins of the big red horse in his hand to Ouyang Li, looked at the large group of people carefully, and saw that they were all dressed as scholars, and the big bags they were holding were not like gifts, but all looked like luggage.

Wang Ping'an bowed and said, "Everyone, have you come to greet Master Xuanzang for New Year's greetings? But I guess Master Xuanzang is tired and needs rest, so he may not meet you!"

These scholars had long been surrounded, and some of them were seen by Wang Ping'an and felt a little familiar, as if they had seen them before.

A scholar shouted: "Mr., the student has followed you to diagnose the disease of smallpox and has worked hard for you. Don't you remember?"

Wang Ping'an was stunned and said, "Is that right... Oh, oh, remember, it's just that there are too many people. I drank a few more drinks tonight. I couldn't remember it for a while. Don't blame me for offending."

As soon as he finished speaking, several voices rang out, and all shouted: "What my teacher said is bad. You have to be busy with so many things, how could you remember so many names? How dare the students blame you!"

Someone shouted, "It's not that I dare not blame it, but that I can't blame it. Who was talking just now? If you said you didn't dare, it means that you have resentment in your heart. You are blaming your mentor, you shouldn't..."

Someone even shouted: "If they forget their names, they are all unrelated people. The teacher just remembers my name as a student. I am also Xuzhou... I live near Xuzhou, and the student is from Chenzhou!"

"Go to you, Chenzhou is hundreds of miles away from Xuzhou, can you call him nearby?" Some people expose him loudly.

Wang Ping'an was quite puzzled. Why did these people break up each other? Every time they saw them in the past, they took good care of each other. In the same year, this kind of relationship was one of the important relationships in the officialdom!

Wang Ping'an smiled all day long, and his muscles on his face became a little numb. He didn't have to smile specifically. As long as he was so stiff, it would make people feel that he was laughing. While nodding to these people, he walked into the temple.

And these people were trying their best to squeeze by Wang Ping'an's side, trying their best to find a good place beside him. I really don't understand whether they came to pay New Year's greetings to Tang Xuanzang or Wang Ping'an.

As soon as Wang Ping'an stepped into the temple gate, the scene in front of him almost made him scream!

I saw that in the Inspiration Temple, all the open spaces that could be built up were tents, densely packed, blocking the path leading to the main hall! Not to mention that, some people took the bedding and spread it on the ground. They probably couldn't afford to buy a tent, so they had to lie down in the snow!

People these days can really endure any hardship in order to be closer to Tang Xuanzang!

Wang Ping'an grinned, his face lost its smile, and his muscles stopped stiffening, and he thought to himself: "Something... is too much!" He sighed. After all, he grew up watching "Journey to the West" in his previous life. Tang Xuanzang was indeed a person with great ambitions, and it was normal for people to be admired.

Shaking his head, he squeezed out a smile again and walked into the hall.

But when the people in the yard saw Wang Ping'an coming, they all stood up with a loud bang, rushed forward, shouted: "Prince, you are back, you have defeated the Turks and made contributions to the country. The students are deeply impressed!"

Wang Ping'an was stunned again, and looked around and found that the people in the yard were all dressed up by scholars! This is really strange. There are so many good men and women who worship Tang Xuanzang, but why are all scholars coming to the Inspiration Temple? No... Ah, I understand!

It was not difficult to understand. When Wang Ping'an saw the situation in the courtyard, he understood after just a moment of thinking. These people did not come to greet Tang Xuanzang. They just came to get close to him under the banner of coming to see Tang Xuanzang!

Although Wang Ping'an's various duties were suspended, the position of deputy chief examiner was ignored intentionally or unintentionally and did not mention this matter. The deputy chief examiner was temporarily sent, so strictly speaking, he still retained this position, but it depends on whether the emperor's memory is good at that time.

If the emperor has a good memory and remembers that he has cut off all his duties, he will also assign others to be the deputy chief examiner. If he has a poor memory and does not remember the deducting of the duties, then Wang Ping'an is very likely to continue to be the deputy chief examiner.

According to the court rules, the examiner had to avoid the candidates, so the candidates could not come to him to invest in the bank. However, Wang Ping'an came back this time and brought the reason Tang Xuanzang, which gave the candidates an excuse!

They carried large and small bags and ran into the Inspiration Temple to set up a tent, with the purpose of currying favor with Wang Ping'an, but because they admired Tang Xuanzang, they came to listen to him tell allusions and deepen their own cultivation.

After a long time, it was because I had power! No wonder people in the world are obsessed with power. As long as they have power, countless people will try their best to come around the bush... But this kind of cursing is such a headache for me!

When Wang Ping'an was outside the temple just now, he was a little psychologically unbalanced, but as soon as he entered the temple, he suddenly became more balanced, making him unable to resist it!

He bowed to the scholars and said, "Happy New Year, everyone!"

"Okay, the students are all good for the New Year, and you, Mr. Wang, are also happy for the New Year!" the scholars shouted together.

At this time, an old man rushed over from the crowd, dressed in a scholar. He held his fist and shouted: "Prince, student Sun Nian gave you a greeting and wish you a New Year!" As he said that, he was about to kneel down tremblingly!

Wang Ping'an quickly took a step back and shouted, "Brother-in-law, I can't stand your gifts. How could the old man kneel down to pay New Year's greetings to me, a young man!"

Seeing that the old man was almost seventy, his hair and beard were all white, his teeth were not complete, and his words were leaking. He actually wanted to give him such a great gift. How could he bear it!

Three people squeezed over and knelt behind Sun Nian, and worshiped Wang Ping'an together, and each reported their names. The middle-aged man was called Sun Jie, two young men in their twenties, one was called Sun Wu and the other was called Sun Tu. In addition, Sun Nian, the four of them were three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and it seemed that they were going to Beijing to take the exam together.

When the other scholars saw this, they knelt down to greet Wang Ping'an. Hula, a large area of ​​kneeling in the yard, and there were people running out of the hall, shouting and asking Wang Ping'an for a happy New Year!

Wang Ping'an was stunned. He wished people a happy New Year these days, no matter how old he was, he only had a high or low status! He turned his head and said to Ouyang Li: "Give me a red envelope, and at least he would like to wish me a happy New Year!"

Ouyang Li whispered and said in a low voice: "All of them are there? There are still some in the backyard. All of them are counted. There are not a thousand, and there are eight hundred!"

Wang Ping'an said: "This is the New Year, let's be lucky!" He nodded and smiled, but he didn't dare to stay in the yard for too long. He didn't even dare to enter the main hall, so he took a detour to the backyard.

The same is true in the backyard, and there are crowds of people. Countless scholars and scholars are waiting to wish Wang Ping'an a New Year.

Seeing that he could not escape, Wang Ping'an had to shout: "Everyone, please don't set up a tent in the backyard. Although you are in a good mood, you will inevitably disturb Master Xuanzang's translation of Buddhist scriptures. Please go to the front yard. Otherwise, Master Xuanzang will be disturbed, and I... I will be annoyed by my master!"

The scholars hurriedly said, "As long as the teacher's order, let's go to the front yard to find a place!" They were afraid that they would annoy Wang Ping'an, so they quickly packed up their things and went to the front yard to find a place.

I guess I can't find a place. Not only are the places occupied, but there are also many people outside who want to squeeze in. Fortunately, it's winter, and everyone can squeeze in and it's still hot.

Wang Ping'an drove away the scholar, led by Ouyang Li to the door where Tang Xuanzang lived. He entered the room and saw Tang Xuanzang sitting, and smiled and said, "Senior brother, are you used to living here?"

Tang Xuanzang opened his eyes and said, "Junior brother, you are back. Well, I live in a habit. I live the same place where I live."

Wang Ping'an pointed outside and said, "Those people have quarreled with senior brother, I have sent them away for you."

Tang Xuanzang exclaimed, and raised his body, saying, "Junior brother, why do you want them to leave? Call them back quickly? I finally convinced them to come here to spend some time. How can you drive them away? Tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year. I will open a large altar and explain the Dharma to them!"

Wang Ping'an frowned and said angrily: "No wonder they came to set up the tent. It turned out that you gave it to me!"
Chapter completed!
