The Legacy of the First Auxiliary House of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Yiai raised her eyebrows, stopped for a moment, and then stepped into Huichang Temple.

The Huichang Temple was very lively at this time, but everyone put on a pious and solemn appearance, not only a lot of young men, but also a lot of unmarried girls among the female relatives were brought by their families.

These are almost Buddhist followers.

Everyone who comes here brings offerings, or comes out holding invited scriptures or consecrated Buddha statues.

Fang Yi'ai didn't believe this at all, but her mother Lu sometimes came to pay respects, but she seemed to go to Taoist temples more frequently, she used to worship whichever she used, she was a typical general believer.

Fang Yiai stepped across a large hall in front and went to the second Buddhist hall.

Dressed in monk clothes and plain clothes, the Samana Bian body is tall and straight, with a mellow and gentle voice, his voice is like spring breeze blowing on the face, and he is preaching at the front of the hall at this time.

The people entering and leaving were very quiet, and those who entered the hall naturally had round cushions provided by the small monks to sit on.

Sitting in a corner, Fang Yiai looked at the monk Bianji in front of him coldly. He really looked like a Buddhist, upright, handsome, compassionate, with gorgeous rhetoric, and "inspiring people's hearts".

Fang Yiai murmured in his heart, but he had already seen that Bianji was no longer angry, and his heart was still.

At this moment, he even regretted coming in.

It doesn't matter if that woman is Gao Yang, I already know that she is not willing to die, and the person or thing she can't get is always the best.

Fang Yiai lowered her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.At this time, he was happy to see the success, waiting for the Golden Pillow incident to happen——

At this moment, Princess Gao Yang was wearing a bamboo hat, looking up at Bian Ji through the light veil, her eyes flickered, and after Bian Ji spoke a paragraph, everyone dispersed.

Fang Yiai curled her lips in disdain, seeing Gao Yang following into the apse, but he didn't follow, instead turned back to the mansion, took a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures by the way before leaving, intending to honor Lu Shi.

"His Royal Highness is well." Bian Ji lowered his eyebrows and said hello.

Princess Gao Yang had already lifted her bamboo hat at this time, and the maids following her had already been sent to other inconspicuous places to disperse.

Because Bian Ji's Buddhist lectures are very famous, many honorable families from Chang'an City also came here these days, and Gao Yang also took a lot of effort to clear the venue, so he had this alone meeting with Bian Ji.

"Bian Ji, I'm here." Gao Yang said, laughing at Yan Yan.

"Amitabha, the princess' heart to the Buddha, the Buddha will know." Bianji whispered.

"It doesn't matter whether the Buddha knows or not... Today, I came here specially for you." Gao Yang continued to speak bluntly.

Bian Ji lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

The princess' eyes were burning, and Bian Ji suddenly remembered what he said when he met the concubine in front of Taiji Palace that day...

Bian Ji couldn't help taking a step back, Gao Yang couldn't help but take a small step forward when he saw this.

Behind is the Buddha case, and there is no way to retreat from the debate, so he couldn't help but frown, "Your Highness, can you ask the little monk if there is something you don't understand in the scriptures?"

Princess Gao Yang pursed her lips and was about to speak when there was movement outside.

"Princess—" the maid guarding the door shouted.

"...I'd like to say who is talking to Master Bianji. It's the Seventeenth Sister." Then it was Princess Changle's voice.

Princess Li Lizhi of Changle came with a person. She stepped into the hall, and the person who followed her was King Li Zhi of Jin.

Li Zhi entered the apse with a curious expression on his face, looked at Bianji and Princess Gaoyang, and then looked at the Buddha statue, he was so respectful that he started to pay homage.

Bian Ji walked over and personally delivered incense to King Jin. The two exchanged a few words and said a few Buddhist gatha.

Princess Gao Yang frowned slightly, she and Princess Changle were somewhat at odds, on the surface they were on good terms, but Gao Yang knew the status of Princess Changle in Li Shimin's heart, after all, she was the biological daughter of the deceased Empress Changsun, if she was said to be deeply loved by the emperor Well, Princess Changle and Princess Chengyang can be regarded as the emperor's darlings, and no one should ignore them.

"Fifth Sister is in a good mood today." Gao Yang said hello.

"Seventeenth sister is not the same." Chang Le looked at her and smiled, and followed his younger brother Li Zhi to burn a stick of incense.

Gao Yang stayed inside for a while, and came out soon.

It's just that her face was not very happy, she glared at the maids with her, she always felt that Chang Le came here on purpose, there was no such a coincidence.

"Where is King Wei?"

"Return to the princess, His Royal Highness King Wei is drinking tea with Master Xuanzang in the front hall." The maid replied.

Fang Yiai saw Gao Yang get off the car before, but in fact she did not come here alone, the king of Wei entered Huichang Temple earlier, but was received in a side room in the front hall, and did not come to listen to Bianji's lecture. Or offer incense and worship Buddha.

He is not the only one in the side room where King Wei came——

It turned out that the believers did not know that both Xuanzang and Master Daoyue were in Huichang Temple.

The two of them discussed the translation of scriptures with some great masters from other temples here, because "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" was mainly written by Bian Ji, and Master Xuanzang also came here from time to time. King Wei knew about this and visited often.

King Wei has always been well-known in literature, and the emperor has long allowed his Prince Wei Mansion to open a literature museum to recruit talented people from the Tang Dynasty and compile allusions to books.

"Fourth brother doesn't know what books to write again, do you want to help the masters to study Buddhist scriptures?" Princess Gao Yang asked when she saw Li Tairu.

At this time Li Tai had finished talking with Xuanzang and other masters, and when he saw Gao Yang, his expression was not his usual gentle smile.

He looked at Gao Yang with a gloomy face.

Princess Gao Yang felt baffled.

"what happened?"

"Gao Yang, don't you have enough fiefdoms?" King Wei asked with narrowed eyes.

Gao Yang felt strange, but he still thought of Princess Changle in the back hall, and he made no secret of it in front of King Wei: "It's just a normal princess fief, and Aye didn't increase much...it's not as good as Changle!"

There was still indignation in his tone.

King Wei smiled, "Changle is my direct sister." He deliberately emphasized the word "direct relative".

Gao Yang looked annoyed, so what about direct relatives, she saw that their sibling relationship was the same, "Fourth brother, I thought we were closer."

The king of Wei was noncommittal, and replied: "It is considered."

Gao Yang was dissatisfied, but he didn't argue with him, she and him had more common interests, sometimes she might not only be optimistic about him... What's wrong with the concubine, it's the third son, King of Wu, Li Ke, whose bloodline is as noble.

"...Be careful, Sun Fujia has just entered the palace." Li Tai said. "You are also greedy for profit!" He frowned in disgust.

After hearing what King Wei said, Gao Yang's face tightened, she knew that he was not aimless, and King Wei's influence in the palace was naturally greater than that of her princess.

After getting married, Gao Yang completely relied on Concubine Wei for a lot of news, but last time Concubine Wei was annoyed that she didn't know how to advance or retreat, and she no longer allowed her to touch Concubine Wei at will.

"Princess's mansion is just pushed out." Princess Gao Yang said, but she thanked King Wei very much, and she will have to repay this kindness sooner or later, Gao Yang knows that King Wei still needs her.

It’s just that Princess Gaoyang was also very wronged. The king of Wei looked down on what she did, but she was not the only one who did it alone. It is said that Princess Yongjia’s mansion and some other princes’ mansions are lending money in private. She is not like Wei. Wang and Princess Changle are not short of money, but the tax burden and output of the fiefdom are still limited.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the corvee tax was very low, and the emperor took it very seriously. Gao Yang did not dare to raise the tax burden on the fief in private, but the yield of the acreage of her fief was not very good...

Gao Yang didn't bother to chat with the defense machine anymore, he quickly returned to the mansion, and summoned the Jia Ling and Jia Cheng of the Princess Mansion and others.

Sure enough, not long after, someone from the palace summoned Princess Gaoyang to enter the palace.

"You guys know what to do." Gao Yang said coldly to Jia Ling and Jia Cheng.

Then enter the palace.

At the gate of the palace, she met Wei Wang Li Tai again.

Li Tai had long expected that Gao Yang would be called into the palace to reprimand him, and if he failed, he would be punished, so he should notify him.Li Tai suddenly discovered that Gao Yang was not a qualified ally. Sometimes the other party cared too much about small profits, and the gain outweighed the loss, so it might hold him back.

Gao Yang naturally didn't know Li Tai's thoughts.

Walking in the palace has its own rules, and after passing the place where it is time to get off the horse, the two walked together towards the Ganlu Palace.

On the way, Gao Yang remembered what King Wei said, that Fang Yiai handed in Sun Fujia's certificate, and she couldn't help but hate it.

"Could it be that Changle and Jiulang went to Huichang Temple in the afternoon on purpose?" Princess Gao Yang suddenly became suspicious. Could it be that Fang Yiai was unwilling to reconcile, or was the "jealousy" debate that Changle and King Jin deliberately brought in to disrupt the situation? of? !

King Wei frowned upon hearing this, not knowing why. "It's just a coincidence."

Track your own?

Shouldn't be.

Li Tai thought about it in his mind, anyway, he was doing things "fairly and aboveboard", he was just talking about Buddhism and Taoism with Master Xuanzang, even if the emperor asked him, he would have an answer, so he didn't think about it.

It's just that Gao Yang started the conversation, "I haven't asked you yet, fourth brother, why did you help Fang Yiai talk in front of Aye last time—"

"You think I'm helping him?" Li Tai squinted at her, as if you were stupid.

Gao Yang was dissatisfied, "Isn't it?"

"...haha! It's just 'facilitating' his wish." Li Tai squinted his eyes and said, then stared at Gao Yang's eyes, "Don't you really want him... to die?!" The word "death" at the end He spoke so softly, almost in a whisper, that only they could hear each other.

Hearing this, Gao Yang's expression froze, and then he smiled. "My fourth brother is smarter than me. There are ruthless soldiers on the battlefield."

Wei Wang put away his happy and angry expression, this method is better than sending someone to assassinate the other party.

If you ask him, Gao Yang is stupid, and he almost exposed Hegan Chengji as a pawn.

Li Tai pondered in his heart, and followed Gao Yang into the Ganlu Palace.

Inside, Sun Fujia was standing, so Gao Yang knelt down to plead guilty, took the form and presented it, bowed his head and cried out his sin.

"It's all because the minister didn't take good care of the people under him. The minister who was entrusted with the land and in charge of the fields had a bad harvest for several years. He was afraid of being blamed by the family order and the family minister, so he competed with the people for profit and lent money...Father, I have already ordered the family in the mansion to waive the interest of those poor people immediately, even if I have capital, I will not give up a cent."

Li Shimin summoned Gao Yang, and before he could ask for his guilt, Gao Yang said a lot, with tears in his eyes and guilt on his face.

"My minister also tied up Nayisi and went to Dali Temple—Sun Siqing. He must be severely punished and must not indulge his evil deeds." Princess Gao Yang turned to look at Dali Temple Qing Sun Fujia.

Sun Fujia didn't change his expression, he only looked at the emperor.

Li Shimin pondered, then sighed, blaming Gao Yang for his ignorance.

"You have done this before, so I will punish you for one year's salary and do more good deeds." Li Shimin said, and then Fang Yiai was mentioned. "Your son-in-law is also kind-hearted. Today he is brave enough to stand up for righteousness regardless of himself, and he can be called a hero." Li Shimin joked and laughed, looking forward to Fang Yiai's "capability" on the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition in the future. Well, it would be nice for the Fang family to have a big future.

Hearing the emperor's words, Gao Yang could only nod his head and say yes.

She secretly hated it in her heart, it really was Fang Yi's love to sue her!

The emperor once again used this to talk about the harm of usury to the common people, so that everyone could take it as a warning, and let people remember it, and spread the words to the princes and princes as a warning.

The king of Wei also said here that he was taught to take care of the people below, lest they deceive the above and commit the crime of oppressing the people.

"You and I can rest assured, Qingque, you are always good and capable." Li Shimin smiled at Li Tai and asked him to sit down.

On his desk was a newly printed copy of "Kuo Di Zhi". The smell of brand new paper and ink dissipated as soon as the book was opened, and the emperor was very excited.

"This is also a matter of great merit." He praised repeatedly.

Li Taiwen was humble again and again.

The emperor also asked the eunuchs around him to send the books to the prince and King Jin——

"Is there any extra copying, and then send it to the palaces of the princes, Liang Guogong, and Wei Guogong... and..." Li Shimin stood up and paced, patted Li Tai on the shoulder as encouragement, and hurriedly issued an order to let Taichang Temple engraved this book as soon as possible to distribute it all over the country and send it to various states and counties.

"It's just that it will take some time." In the end, the emperor still sighed.

When Fang Yiai saw the hand-copied version of "Kuo Di Zhi" from Fang Xuanling, she flipped through it and threw it aside with disdain.

The handwriting of the person who copied it was good, but it was hand-written after all, and there were still some mistakes, omissions and stains in this set of books. It seems that Wei Wang's literary museum was too rushed to please the emperor.

But yes, there are many words in this "Kuo Di Zhi", more than one book, after compilation, in order to show to the public, it is still copied by hand, and engraving and printing still have to wait a long time before skilled masters can engrave it, Wei Wang and The emperor was eager to show off or show off, which one was not in a hurry.

At this time, Fang Yiai already knew from Fang Xuanling that the emperor ordered to punish Princess Gaoyang's salary.

He, Aye, was still frowning, but it was Lu who spurned Gao Yang and said "serve it", which made Fang Xuanling look sideways.

"After all, the princess has descended from my house." Fang Xuanling sighed, there was nothing he could do about it, but he was also full of disgust.

The Fang family was short of money, but they never had the idea of ​​usury.

"Hmph, that's because you have a good wife." Lu raised her head "arrogantly", still angry with the princess daughter-in-law her family married.

Fang Xuanling quickly said yes, and naturally thought that Mrs. Lu was a good one, otherwise Fang's reputation at home and abroad would not be so good, and he would not be so worry-free in the government and the public.

"I just hope that the saint's warning will make the princess behave more restraint in the future." Fang Xuanling was silent, but as a family member and courtier, he did not want to say much to Princess Gaoyang.

However, he raised his head and glanced at his own Erlang.

Fang Yiai lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see what he was thinking.

But Lu Shi was not convinced, and belittled Gao Yang: "She can still restrain herself, and a 'pig' can fly into the sky—"

Then they argued with Fang Xuanling again because of trivial matters.

Fang Yiai took the opportunity to retreat.

After getting out of the room, Fang Yiai looked at the adjacent princess mansion, the corners of her lips slowly curled up.

One year's fine... that's really light...

He was implicated by Li Chunfeng's "tower bombing" before. Not only did he lose his official position, but the emperor even found an opportunity to fine him a three-year salary.It's Gao Yang's turn, so it's been a year?

However, people's patience and love are limited, especially for the emperor.

Back in the study, Fang Yiai didn't know if she was talking to herself, or she said to Shu'er, her trusted confidant "concubine", "This is just an appetizer."

After all, he asked the trembling Shu'er to study ink.

Then, Fang Yiai filled a piece of paper with a pen and sent it to the Eastern Palace...
