Li Shimin had just finished reading the memorial in the apse in the early morning, and the officials from the Huangmen rushed to report.
Li Shimin frowned, Tang Seng finally came back!
After all, he is his royal younger brother, and he is also a monk ordered by him to learn Buddhist scriptures.
Li Shimin immediately packed up his luggage and went out to meet Tang Seng.
This can be regarded as giving Tang Seng enough face.
"Elder Tang! You are finally back!"
"Master Sanzang is back! Everyone, come and see!"
"The scripture learner is back! Hurry up and welcome the scripture learner!"
Li Shimin had just left the palace when he heard people on the street propagandizing about Tang Seng's return to the East.
His frown deepened, Chang'an City is like this, other places can be imagined.
It seems that things are more serious than what Bachelor Sun Guangrui saw.
Suppressing my mood, I received Tang Seng.
The monarch and his ministers greeted him politely.
Li Shimin arranged another imperial banquet.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, there are all kinds of delicacies.
In the middle of Li Shimin's residence, Tang monks, masters and apprentices, and hundreds of civil and military officials live on the left and right.
Today is a banquet for Buddhist scriptures, and the seats of civil and military officials have been adjusted.
Sun Guangrui, who used to be only seven or eight senior scholars, is actually the top one today.
Tang Seng was right opposite him, and they were sitting opposite Li Shimin, one on the left and the other on the right.
"The return of the scriptures that Master Sanzang can obtain to the Tang Dynasty is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty and the common people." Li Shimin said with a smile.
"Amitabha. Your Majesty's blessings are as good as the sky, and the poor monk dare not claim credit." Tang Seng thanked him respectfully.
With Li Shimin setting the tone, all the ministers flattered Tang Seng for a while.
Li Shimin probably looked at it, and had an idea in his mind.
I saw him say again:
"Scholar Sun! Your grandson family has great kindness to the country and the people. Pass the decree to increase the academician Sun Guangrui, the Zhu Guo Guanglu doctor, the crown prince Taibao."
Sun Guangrui was conferred on Tang Seng's banquet, but Tang Seng did not confer any conferment on him.
And the old grandson didn't refuse, he just respectfully accepted the order to thank him.
The officials looked at it, and it was a good agreement between the monarch and his ministers!
Not polite?
Ever since, the wind direction has changed.
Those who praised Tang Monk changed to praise Sun Guangrui.
"Hmph! Who is this person! Stealing Master's limelight!" Sun Wukong poked secretly.
"Hmph! The king of Tang is not authentic. You can't seal our master if someone else is sealed."
"I think he is a close friend of Tang Wang." Drifting said.
"Amitabha, respectful father! I haven't seen you for 14 years, how is it?" Tang Seng smiled and saluted Sun Guangrui.
"Ah! Honorable Father? This is Master's father!" Zhu Bajie cried out in shock.
Monkey and Drifting were also dumbfounded.
"Master Lao Sanzang is concerned, everything is fine." Sun Guangrui said very flatly, as if Tang Seng was just a passerby.
"Bajie! Don't be rude!" Tang Seng reprimanded Zhu Bajie, and then said to Sun Guangrui:
"Amitabha. Just be safe! That's good! That's good!"
Tang Seng was still very respectful, after all, he was his elder.
But civil and military officials are all shrewd people, everyone can see that the father and son seem to be at odds.
"Does the old monk have a father?"
"Nonsense! He didn't jump out of the rock like me!"
"Why do I feel that Master and his father don't look alike?"
"Maybe she looks like a mother?"
"The old monk is too! With such a father who is a high-ranking official, why don't you give up your family business and become a monk?"
"Didn't you see that their father and son are at odds? Most likely, our master was kicked out!"
"Heh! Isn't that unfilial? If it is really unfilial, the old monk can still confer Buddhahood? Hehe! I see Xuan!"
The three apprentices communicated through sound transmission, and they were all very interested in the old monk and his father.
During the 14 years along the way, Tang Seng never mentioned his father.
His mother occasionally mentioned something, and she just talked about Jiang Liu'er's life experience in passing.
So the disciples all thought that the old grandson had died long ago.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not hang up, but he also became a high-ranking official under the king of Tang.
The subsequent banquet suddenly became dull, and the ministers and officials were not so enthusiastic.
Li Shimin played tricks on Sun Guangrui.
Lao Sun immediately warmed up to Tang Seng.
He even ran to the side to ask for warmth.
What is "traveling for 14 years without suffering?"
What is "Is there any embarrassment for the rough road?"
Anyway, it's words of concern.
Tang Seng could only answer patiently.
As the disciples said, if he was accused of being unfilial, then this Buddha would not have to become a Buddha.
The old monk knew this very well, so he could only greet the cheap old man with a smile on his face.
And Sun Guangrui was entrusted by Li Shimin to get close to Tang Seng, and it would be best to control Tang Seng in the hands of Tang officials.
"Master Sanzang. I will give you the Huasheng Temple as a dojo. In the future, if Master Sanzang sits in Chang'an, Buddhism will flourish and prosper."
As the banquet drew to a close, Li Shimin said with a smile.
It was his idea to keep Tang Seng in Chang'an City.
As long as Tang Seng can be controlled, the spread of Buddhism in Datang will slow down.
"Amitabha. Your Majesty, the poor monk wants to study abroad." Tang Seng stood up and said.
"Hey? Chang'an is okay and needs to be educated by Master Sanzang. How to mention the study tour?"
Li Shimin looked at Sun Guangrui and said earnestly:
"What's more...my parents are not traveling far away. Although Master Sanzang is a monk, he is still a citizen of the Tang Dynasty and a descendant of the Sun family.
"The bachelor's health is not very good these years!"
Sun Guangrui cooperated very well and immediately bowed his waist, and his face also collapsed, with an old-fashioned expression on his face.
"Amitabha! Forget it. That poor monk is going to spread the law in Chang'an for the time being." Tang Seng nodded in agreement with Li Shimin's words.
He also has no other choice, now he has the king's life and family affection, so he can't go anywhere.
After the banquet was over, Tang Seng and his disciples were recalled to Lingshan the next day.
The Tathagata personally conferred three great positions, two Buddhas, and one Arhat.
Needless to say, Tang Seng and Monkey, one is the second disciple of the Tathagata, and the other is the Monkey King, so it should be granted the title of Buddha.
Drifting is just leading a horse, and he has basically never beaten monsters.
As a result, he got a good job.
Bajie still didn't change his fate, he worked hard to carry the burden of hundreds of thousands of miles, and he followed Tang Seng earlier, but in the end he only messed up his career.
The same is true for the white dragon horse, who personally carried Tang Seng all the way, and finally only got a good job.
There is no way to say this.
After all, Zhu Bajie has some minor problems, Bailongma...
I don't know what level I am!Still want a great job?
The Journey to the West is finally over, and those who deserve the benefits have not left anyone behind.
The robbery cloud dissipated, and all the relevant people got out separately.
Tang Seng's ashram was finally settled in Huasheng Temple in Datang.
Last night, Li Shimin issued an imperial decree, directly and forcibly setting up a dojo for him.
Li Shimin is the emperor, and his imperial decree can't be changed without authorization.
In the end, he could only encourage Tang Seng and let him go to Tang soil to promote Buddhism.
In fact, Tang Seng doesn't mind if he can promote the Buddha Dharma.
They still have bigger chess games to play, and Tang Seng's task has been completed.
It's time for Wu Meiniang to appear!

===Chapter 1258 Emergency Order===
Chapter 1258 Urgent Order
Master Xuanzang, who turned back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, has become a Zhantan meritorious Buddha.
The old monk now has the cultivation base of a Da Luo Jinxian!
but!
Have you ever seen Da Luo Jinxian who is nothing?
The old monk belongs to this category!
Complete cultivation base, no combat power at all.
Even the Da Luo Jinxian, who can't even use the fog and clouds!
On the way home, Monkey King sent it back.
When he arrived in Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin arranged for people to hold a grand welcome ceremony in Huasheng Temple to welcome Zhantan Gongde Buddha into the Lord.
Emperor Taizong himself did not participate.
He is the Son of Heaven, so it is okay to welcome the return of Yudi, but the nature of welcoming the return of the Buddha will change.
The monkey left after attending the ceremony.
The feeling of being suppressed by the Golden Dragon of National Luck was quite uncomfortable, and he really didn't want to stay for a long time.
Having also become a Buddha, the monkey has become much more at ease.
His dojo is in Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Although he returned to Huaguo Mountain to be the king, he couldn't be as presumptuous as before, killing people as soon as he said they could.
Now that he has become a Buddha, he has his own constraints in the dark.
In this way, Huaguo Mountain has also become a place for retreat.
Although there is a lot less noise and noise, compared to the days when I wore a gold hoop on my head, I don't know how much more leisurely and carefree I am.
What's more, there are no old monk's thoughts and Zhu Bajie's complaints.
Of course Drifting's "So-and-so is right!" "Brother! Master was captured by monsters again!"
