Chapter 34 Debate Sent Li Ke away, came back and slept lazily, and when he woke up, it was already dark, and Xiaofuzi reported: "Your Highness, the master of debate has arrived." ” "Hurry up, please, hurry up."
Li Zhen said repeatedly, he was originally mature, and he usually wouldn't be so out of shape, but now he can say twice in a row that he is happy to please, which shows that he is excited.
"I've arranged to wait in the living room."
Xiaofuzi said with a smile.
"Then you won't give me a change of clothes?
Don't keep the master waiting.
Li Zhen casually picked up the civilian clothes and was about to put them on her body, but as soon as she was halfway through, she hurriedly took them off again: "No, we are begging people today, but we can't be lazy, give me formal clothes." ” "Yes."
Xiao Fuzi hurriedly took the robe and called a few little eunuchs to help Li Zhen change clothes together.
"Oh, it's Xiao Wang's sin to bother the master to wait for a long time."
Li Zhen was wearing formal clothes and felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it on her face in front of outsiders, and she had to force a smiling face, which was really uncomfortable.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has seen His Highness, His Highness is busy with things, the poor monk is an idler, and it should be done after a while."
He is also in his thirties and forties, his appearance is thin, his chin is slightly stubble, and he only has a pair of eyes that are bright and bright, which seems to be extra energetic.
Don't underestimate this monk, it's also famous in history - albeit an unlucky reputation.
This monk is the debater who was stolen by Li Shimin from the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", saying that the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is the masterpiece of the book saint Wang Xizhi, and after his death, the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" has been circulated in the Wang family, until it was passed on to the hands of Sun Zhiyong, the seventh generation of Wang Xizhi.
Zhiyong was a monk and had no descendants, so after his death, he passed it on to his disciple, who was the debater in front of him.
After getting the "Orchid Pavilion Preface", Biancai has always regarded the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" as his lifeblood, so he dug a hole in the bedroom beam, hid it in it, and only took it out in the dead of night to enjoy it alone.
Li Shimin is very fond of calligraphy, especially Wang Xizhi's works.
He heard that Wang Xizhi's calligraphy treasure "Orchid Pavilion Collection Preface" was in the monk Zhicai, so he sent people to ask for it many times, but the monk Zhicai always deduced that he did not know the whereabouts of the authentic handiwork.
Li Shimin saw that he couldn't succeed, so he outwitted it instead, and sent Xiao Yi, the superintendent of the imperial history, to disguise himself as a scholar, to get close to Zhicai, and wait for the opportunity to obtain the "Lanting Collection Preface".
Xiao Yi is also very good at calligraphy, and he talked very speculatively with the monk who distinguishes talents, and the two have become good friends who talk about everything.
After the two had a close relationship, Xiao Yi deliberately took out a few pieces of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works for the monk to appreciate.
After reading it, he said disapprerovitously: "It's true, but it's not good, I have a real book that is not bad."
Xiao Yi asked what the post was, and he mysteriously told him that he was the authentic work of "Lanting Collection Preface".
Xiao Yi pretended not to believe it and said that the post was missing.
Xiao Yi saw that it was really the authentic work of "Lanting Collection Preface", and then put it in his sleeve, and at the same time showed the relevant "edict" of Tang Taizong to Zhicai.
Discern only then will you know that you are deceived.
He lost his authenticity, was angry and afraid, became depressed, and died in less than a year.
That's why I said that this guy is an unlucky guy, who doesn't look down on the baby, but he is favored by the master of this country?
People still can't do everything possible to get it?
Do you yourself say that you are unlucky or not?
"The master is polite, the master, please take a seat."
No matter how unlucky the debater is, but now it is Li Zhen begging for help, so Li Zhen's attitude is still very polite.
"Thank you, Your Highness, please."
Biancai also hurriedly returned the salute, and sat down slowly after Li Zhen sat down.
The two exchanged pleasantries again, and Li Zhen said her purpose: "The master may also know, in a few days it will be my father's birthday, and Xiao Wang, as a son, wants to prepare a decent gift for his father."
My father's favorite thing in his life is calligraphy, and among many famous calligraphers, his favorite is calligraphy, so what ......?"
When he heard this, he already understood what Li Zhen meant, suddenly got up, and flatly refused: "Your Highness wants the "Orchid Pavilion Preface"?
This is absolutely impossible.
"Orchid Pavilion Preface" is a relic of the family teacher, and he wants the poor monk to hand it over, unless he steps on the corpse of the little monk. ” "No, no, no, the master misunderstood, I didn't want the "Orchid Pavilion Preface".
Li Zhen hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, Li Shimin hinted that we should keep a low profile, if he sent "Lanting Preface" again, wouldn't he overshadow the rest of the people again?
Still low-key fart?
"The master misunderstood, "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is a treasure of the world, of course Xiao Wang wants to get it, but he also knows that the master will never let go, so what Xiao Wang wants to ask the master today is "Seventeen Posts".
"Amitabha, the poor monk blames His Highness for his sins and sins."
As soon as he heard that Li Zhen didn't want "Orchid Pavilion Preface", his face looked much better: "Although "Seventeen Posts" is also passed on by the teacher, it is not as important as "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and the poor monk can be the master and give it to His Royal Highness.
It's just that "Seventeen Posts" is a relic of the teacher after all, and if His Highness wants to ask for it, he needs to exchange it for something. ” "The master is high-spirited, Xiao Wang admires."

Li Zhen gave a salute and asked, "I don't know what the master needs?"
” "Your Highness has won the prize."
Biancai hurriedly replied: "The poor monk doesn't want gold and silver, don't treasure it, just ask His Royal Highness to give the poor monk some customs clearance documents?"
” "Clearance paperwork?
What does the master want this for?
"Li Zhen was instantly confused, are you still ready to follow Da Xuanzang and go to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures?
Anyway, Tang Seng is already on the way to learn the scriptures, right?
I don't know if I've ever been out of the customs.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has always had a great wish in his life, that is, to spread the glory of my Buddha all over the world."
Speaking of his ideals, his demeanor unconsciously became sacred, and his hands were folded, just like a Buddha.
"Now Buddhism is flourishing in my Central Plains, but the barbarian land is still drinking blood, not knowing people, not distinguishing between good and evil, so the poor monks are ready to go out and promote my Buddhism."
"Master Gao Yi."
Li Zhen admired her face, although she was not used to the demagogic set of religion, but Li Zhen admired this kind of person very much.
Not for anything else, because he can't do it himself, so he admires people who can do it.
"It's just that it's not easy to get a customs clearance document, but with the master's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to get one, right?"
This is also where Li Zhen is puzzled, although the Tang Dynasty does not allow Chinese people to go abroad, but with the collection of debaters, he took out a copy of the book casually, and some high-ranking officials were willing to help him speak, why did he come to himself, and he had to use "Seventeen Posts" to exchange it?
"Amitabha, in fact, the poor monk also wanted to ask for help from others before, and some people were willing to ask the poor monk for customs clearance, but there were too many people who went out with the poor monk, so ......"
Speaking of this, the debate was a little embarrassed.
"Lots of people?
How many people are there?
” "Uh......
There are a total of ...... who are willing to go out with the poor monks.
There were forty-seven of them.
"I'm even more embarrassed, there are a little too many of them.
"Poof!"
Li Zhen sprayed directly: "Why are there so many people?"
Are these all the same monks as you?
” "That's exactly what makes it even more difficult is that in order to improve the efficiency of Dharma transmission, we plan to go to different countries to preach at the same time, which makes it even more difficult to distribute the customs clearance documents."
Biancai smiled bitterly, when he proposed this idea, he thought that he would not be supported by many people, who would have thought that there would be such a cloud, and there were hundreds of people who were willing to go out with him.
In the end, these forty-seven people were selected by the debate, each of whom was familiar with the classics and devoted himself to worshipping the Buddha, although he was not a great monk, but he could also be called a master, and he was the backbone of Buddhism.
"That's going to be hard."
Li Zhen frowned, it's not that it's so troublesome to clear the customs documents, in fact, it's still very easy for Li Zhen to get a little customs clearance documents.
The reason why he felt distressed was that the desire to debate had an impact on his future arrangements, and it was a very big influence, which put him in a dilemma.
"Master, it's not a problem to clear the paperwork, but I also have a request."
After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhen finally reluctantly came up with a way to be considered both.
"Your Highness, please speak."
When Li Zhen hesitated, the heart of the debater was actually always mentioned, for fear that Li Zhen would not agree, but now Li Zhen finally agreed, not to mention one request, even if it was ten requests.
"It's very simple, I hope that the master will only preach the Dharma, not get involved in anything in the local area, you can cure the sick and save people, promote the Buddha's way, but you must not participate in political affairs, including in times of war, your temples are not allowed to shelter anyone, I want you to swear by the Buddha."
This is the method that Li Zhen came up with, because in his plan, many people need to die in the future, and nine out of ten of these people are aliens.
Li Zhen was already under tremendous pressure, and if he let these monks make trouble again, it would be even more troublesome.
"This ......
Isn't it okay to make friends with the powerful?
Biancai asked, because if you want to promote Buddhism, starting from the top is undoubtedly the best way, and since ancient times, it is an unbreakable truth that can be put anywhere.
As long as the upper class is willing to believe in Buddhism, the lower class will naturally accept Buddhism slowly, but if you don't make friends with the powerful, how can you preach your own Dharma to them?
"It's okay to befriend powerful people, but you can't participate in their state affairs, including giving them advice and the like, you can't accept their official positions, and you can't control that country."

"Amitabha, the poor monk agreed to this."
After thinking about it for a long time, the debate still agreed.
"This is very good, I wonder what country the master is going to preach?"
"Oh, more than 40 of us are divided into three parts, among which the poor monks will take some of their junior disciples to go to the northeastern countries such as Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom to preach the Fa, and the other Taoist senior brother will lead some people to the Western Regions to preach the Fa, and the third part will be led by Senior Brother Dahua to go to the plateau countries such as Tubo and Zhangxiong to preach the Fa."
"Doesn't anyone go south?"
While Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she couldn't help but feel curious, the Indochina Peninsula in the south is the place with the most countries around the Tang Dynasty, why didn't she go to the south without a debate?
"Originally, some people did go to the southern countries to preach, but later some merchants from overseas told us that the southern countries were not far away from Tianzhu and that Buddhism had already covered the south, so we canceled it. ” "I see."
Li Zhen nodded, ready to end the conversation: "Although the master of the customs clearance document can rest assured, I will hand the document to the master in three days at most." ” "Amitabha, this is very good, thank you, Your Highness."
The debater was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
"The master is gracious."
After another round of greetings, Li Zhen invited Biancai to eat a delicious meal, and then arranged for someone to send Biancai back to the Daci'en Temple outside Chang'an City to live temporarily.
Then he personally went to Honglu Temple and said to Deng Zhixing.
Before, because of the matter of the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, the two had a little friendship, but now I heard that they just asked for a little customs clearance paperwork, so they naturally agreed in a hurry, but they just need to be informed by Li Shimin and the Ministry of Rites, so it takes a little time.
Three days later, Biancai came as promised, took away a whole small box of customs clearance documents, and also gave Li Zhen the "Seventeen Posts", just looking at his reluctant expression, Li Zhen gave him the "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast" as a comfort, Biancai immediately smiled, and Li Zhen knew that he had lost.
Sure enough, you can't be too kind—especially when you're a king, and you can't tolerate any kindness.
