Chapter Three: Shangguan Wan'er's Father

A moment later, a chamberlain conveyed an edict. Master Xuanzang had already arrived at the palace. He ordered Master Qian to carry Li Xian to the Liangyi Hall and pay homage to Xuanzang.

"It's finally here." Li Xian was naturally excited when he heard this. He wished he could see Master Xuanzang right away. However, he was only one month old. Although he had legs, they were not developed enough to run. He could only use his legs to run.

All hopes are pinned on Qian's body.

Although Qian is only thirty years old and in her prime of health, she is just an ordinary woman after all. In addition, she is imprisoned all the way and needs to pass a sign for routine inspection every time she passes through a door, so this journey will not be fast.

How many.

Fortunately, after many years of tomb robbing career in his previous life, Li Xian still had some patience. In addition, he thought that he was under the holy command, so Xuanzang did not dare to disobey him, so he gradually calmed down and opened the door.

His eyes slowly took in the area where he lived.

Although it is not far from Li Zheng Hall to Liang Yi Hall, the guards along the road are extremely tight. Every few steps, you will see a guard wearing bright armor standing there. Li Xian is an experienced tomb robber. From the guard's

It can be seen at a glance that these guards are wearing the Mingguang Armor, which is famous throughout the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the guards stationed at fixed posts, there were also patrolling generals, making the entire palace guarded like an iron barrel.

Just when Li Xian was still thinking, he suddenly heard the sharp voice appear again: "The Holy One has a decree, and the Xuan Qian clan brings the seventh prince to the throne."

After Qian agreed softly, he hugged Li Xian and hurried into the palace to see him.

When Li Xian was carried into the Liangyi Hall, he was listening to Gaozong talking with a monk with a smile. When Li Xian turned around, he saw that the monk was slightly dark, not tall, and looked thinner.

, but the whole person seems to be full of energy, especially a pair of eyes, which are particularly energetic, and I can't help but secretly cheer. Although this person is not the image of Prince Charming like in later movies and TV dramas, he has the inner beauty and is definitely worthy of being a great man.

The image of a virtuous monk.

At this time, Gaozong obviously noticed Li Xian's arrival, so he laughed and said: "Xian'er, my son, come forward quickly, I have seen your master."

At this time, a little girl in red clothes clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Uncle, what you say is very interesting. Qi Lang is only one month old, how can he understand your words?"

Li Xian saw that the little girl was about ten years old, with a small pink face, two sweet dimples exposed when she smiled, and two big eyes with a hint of cunning in their simplicity. She looked childish, but she spoke

Being so bold and daring to speak nonsense in front of the Holy Emperor must not be an ordinary person. Seeing the little girl directly addressing Gaozong as uncle, I guessed that this person must be the famous Wei Lady Helan in the future.

The subsequent scene really verified Li Xian's guess, and he saw a woman who looked somewhat similar to Empress Wu and shouted in a low voice: "My son Minyue, how many times have I told you, don't be so presumptuous in front of the Holy Lord, Your Majesty.

It is an imperial edict, how dare you not believe it?"

Li Xian naturally knew that this woman was the Korean lady Wu Shun, Empress Wu's sister, and he also heard in her words that she did not believe the so-called "miraculous" qualities of Qilang that Gaozong boasted about.

At this time, Gaozong had already had a close relationship with Wu Shun. After hearing the sarcasm from his old lover, he lost face and hurriedly argued: "Sister, don't believe it. Although I am a young man, I am definitely very smart.

Very human."

After hearing this, Wu Shun did not reply. She just shook her head and smiled, still not believing it. However, she then heard an exclamation from her daughter Helan Minyue. She looked in the direction of her daughter's finger and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

It turned out that at this time, little Li Xian actually put his hands on his chest and giggled at Master Xuanzang.

"This, this is a coincidence, definitely a coincidence." Wu Shun murmured with disbelief on his face.

But Gaozong laughed and said: "Sister, you have seen it and believed it, so why don't you believe it? Haha, I have said that although I am young, I am very considerate and considerate of others.

"

Emperor Gaozong looked proud, turned to look at Xuanzang, and said with a smile: "Master Xuanzang, you also saw it. My son immediately joined his hands and saluted after seeing Master Xuanzang. This shows that you and your master are destined to be together.

It's beyond human power, so the Master won't refuse, right?"

Although Empress Wu did not speak at this time, her eyes were smiling and she looked at Xuanzang expectantly.

But when Xuanzang thought about it for a moment, he bowed to Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu and said randomly, "Since the emperor and the empress have invited me, how can I dare to refuse?"

Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu looked at each other and were both overjoyed. They quickly stood up and ordered people to award the reward.

But when Xuanzang refused, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty and the Empress gave it to me. I didn't dare to say goodbye. But I am a member of the Buddhist sect. Money and cloth are external things and are useless. Your Majesty and your empress would like to think of me."

It would be better to allow the young monk to go to the Shaolin Temple and translate Buddhist scriptures, promote Buddhism for the Tang Dynasty, and save all sentient beings."

Gaozong's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, but the unpleasant look quickly disappeared, and he immediately laughed and said: "What did the master say? Now I have many temples in Chang'an. As the leader of Buddhism, the master is highly respected and needs stability.

The overall situation, not to mention the fact that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has just been completed, and it is in need of the Master’s blessings. Furthermore, since the Master is my son’s master, how can I abandon him without preaching? I know that the Master cares about the common people, and I would like to express my gratitude to the Master today.

I promise not to disturb anyone else, and I will definitely restore the Dharma Master’s purity. I wonder what the Dharma Master’s intention is?”

When Xuanzang saw what Gaozong said, although he was not very willing, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. He thanked Gaozong and Empress Wu, explained the next time he would pray for Li Xian's release, and then said goodbye and left.

Li Xian, however, did not feel anything about Xuanzang's departure. This was not because he was in excitement. Instead, he felt a hint of uneasiness, because he clearly remembered that when he suddenly made a shocking move,

When he put his hands together and bowed to Xuanzang, everyone in the audience was filled with surprise and admiration. However, his newly worshiped master Xuanzang looked at him with a different look. That look was like the look he had when he was robbing a tomb.

It is so certain to see through the dynasty of the tomb.

"Could it be that Master Xuanzang really has the so-called wisdom in the legend, and can actually see through the identity of my time traveler? How is this possible? But if it is impossible, what happened to his gaze just now?"

Whenever he thought of that stern look, Li Xian couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine and feeling terrified in his heart. But after a while, the rogue energy in his heart came up again, and he thought to himself silently.

"I am the emperor's son. I don't think that no matter how favored Xuanzang is, he would not dare to talk nonsense, right? Although he is an outsider, even if he is not afraid of life and death, can he bear to suffer his disciples too? Why not?

Yes, can his great career of translating and preaching scriptures, which he regards as life, be interrupted?"

When Li Xian thought about it, he felt emboldened. What if Xuanzang knew his true identity? I believe that with his wisdom, he would never dare to say nonsense. But if the other party really sees through his intentions, I'm afraid his plot will be revealed.

It's very difficult to achieve.

"Huh, no matter what, I have already worshiped you as my teacher in public, and I will be stuck with you for the rest of my life. If you want to get rid of me, you can't even think of it..."

Early the next morning, when Li Xian was daydreaming, he suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from outside the door: "The imperial edict has arrived."

Li Xian couldn't help being shocked after hearing this. Although he knew that he didn't need to pay attention to the eunuch's so-called order now. There would naturally be wet nurses and maids to take over the order at this time, but he also knew that this matter must be related to him.

Sure enough, after the wet nurses and maids were busy busy, the eunuch announced the emperor's appointment: he canonized Li Xian as the king of Zhou, granted him the pastoral title of Luozhou, and also named him "Fo Guang Wang", and ordered famous craftsmen to build the Zhou Palace.

Su Liangsi, a martial arts expert, was appointed to inspect the Sima of the Zhou Dynasty, Dr. Taichang Yuan Lizhen was appointed to inspect the Prince's Attendant, Li Zhan, the youngest son of Li Yifu, Xu Qitan from Changcheng City, Huaizhou was appointed to inspect the literature of the Zhou Dynasty, Fan Lubing from Hanoi, Huaizhou was appointed to inspect the Hucao of the Prince's House, and Prince Zhongshe

The son of Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Tingzhi, inspected the royal palace's signatures, etc.

The word "school inspector" at this time means concurrently. In fact, Emperor Gaozong pre-selected Li Xian as a royal official in advance when he was still young. Such treatment was an honor that had never been seen before in history.

But Li Xian didn't care about this honor, nor the long list of official names, because even though he had done a lot of research on the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, he couldn't remember these characters, but he alone

I only remember one person's name. This person's name is Shangguan Tingzhi. Although he is far inferior to the others in terms of official position, reputation, and even achievements in this life, this person is a great person in history.

Famous, because this person has a world-famous father, Shangguan Yi, and a daughter who is even more outstanding than his father. She is also a famous talented woman in history, and is called Shangguan Wan by later generations as "the one who weighs the world".

Son!

"Haha, I really didn't expect that Shangguan Wan'er's father would become an official in my palace. I don't know if this happened in history, or if I, Li Xianfu, just got lucky. My little actions before impressed my father.

, arranged for the future father-in-law to live in my house? It seems that Wan'er and I are really destined. From now on, we must spare no effort to win over and show off this father-in-law, and take the opportunity to get closer to Wan'er. It's just that

I don’t know if the current Wan’er was born or not? Hehe, I really want to see what she looked like in her infancy. I, Li Xian, have just turned one month old, and I already have the idea of ​​starting a family and starting a business in my mind. No matter who knows it, I can’t help but praise her.

He is called a genius in the world, right?"

As a dignified prince and a careerist with great ambitions, Li Xian now doesn't care about the members of his palace, but he is particularly concerned about whether his future wife will be born, and he is quite proud of it. This is really intolerable.

If his thoughts were known to those subordinate officials, especially the upright Su Liangsi and others, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit three liters of blood and try to punish him with death, right?
