Chapter 349 Li Zhenglong also came to join in the fun
A monk from Dacien Temple stepped forward and opened the gate of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and asked Kumatara to enter. Kumatara said nothing, ignored anyone, and walked inside with big strides. He didn't want to care about anything now, just thinking about reading scriptures and fulfilling his life's dream.
Yang Ze did not follow him in. He waved to Tyne, called Tyne over, and whispered: "Abbot, I have something to tell you, let's talk to you." Some words should be told to him so as not to make any mistakes. No matter what, the abbot seems to be very cooperative.
Taien frowned, thinking that Yang Ze was going to have another demon, but if they wanted to talk to him, monks should listen to it.
The two of them walked aside and arrived at a place where no one was left. Yang Ze then said: "To be honest, there is a reason for this matter today. I can only come to your temple to find fault as an excuse..."
Tyne frowned even more. It was too evil to find faults. He insisted that there were people fighting in our temple.
Yang Ze continued: "That man was indeed the sudden realization of the national teacher, Kumatara, but he came to my generous country for some purpose. I am not very clear about this purpose. The only thing I know is the current saints and the officials in the court. However, the emperor did not want to see Kumatara directly, but needed Kumatara to ask her for help, and she would meet..."
He took the truth and chose the least important thing to say, as long as Tyne can cooperate with him.
When Tyne heard this, he was shocked. This matter actually involved the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and he wanted Kumotara to stay in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda willingly. Isn’t this equivalent to being under house arrest? It’s just that the people under house arrest stayed here voluntarily.
Taien felt embarrassed. He neither dared to resist the court nor wanted to really leave Jumatara in the temple. Who knew when the National Master would have a demon again? He couldn't stand it!
He said, "Mr. Yang. Can you change a temple? For example, if you want to mention the name of White Horse Temple in Chang'an, the White Horse Temple is much louder than the Grand Ci'en Temple. Wouldn't it be better to let the national master stay in the White Horse Temple for a long time?"
Yang Ze smiled and said, "It's too troublesome to change temples, but changing abbot is very simple. What do you think abbot?"
Taien's face changed drastically. His abbot's position was given by the court, but it was not chosen by the monks in the temple. If the court really thought that he was not suitable to be an abbot, it would be just a matter of one sentence.
Yang Ze patted Taien on the shoulder and said, "No matter how high Kumatara is, he is just a monk who holds orders to you. To put it bluntly, isn't it just adding a pair of chopsticks to you? Moreover, you don't have to read all the scriptures for him. Just reading a few books and making him unable to leave them. As for the subsequent things, it's not something you and I can decide. Right!"
Taien swallowed his spit with difficulty, found a reason for himself, and said, "Mr. Yang said very well. He could argue that he would beat the monks in my temple, so he would be qualified to read the scriptures. I would not make things difficult for him. Then, according to Mr. Yang, let him stay here. But those sudden people..." He didn't want Chalun and others to stay here as well.
Yang Ze thought for a while and said, "Fortunately, you will ordain them all, let them be monks, stay here to accompany the national teacher. Whether to return to the secular world in the future, let them do whatever they want."
Want to ordain the sudden person? Tyne grinned and had nothing to say, so he had to chant Amitabha. Anyway, what the official said, he would do. If he didn't agree, he wouldn't be the abbot. If someone else was abbot, he would still have to listen to the official's words, so why not listen first!
As expected, Yang Ze admired him very much, so he asked Tyen to accompany Jumotara. He looked at the captain who had not left yet. Guo Kangfu was stupid and had not left yet, so he couldn't leave. He didn't know how to go back and explain it.
Yang Ze hooked his fingers at Guo Kangfu with great momentum. Seeing this, Guo Kangfu had to bite the bullet and said embarrassedly: "This adult, villain... I wonder what the adult has to ask the villain to do it?"
Yang Ze said: "Are you Wannian County doing so much now? When I was the county magistrate in Zhenxi, I had a lot of things. I also encouraged the people to produce, collect taxes, and settled cases. I was so busy all day long that I was hit on the back of my head. If I had no time to relax, wouldn't you Wannian County be like this, right?"
Guo Kangfu blinked his eyes and thought to himself: "He asked what he did. Is our Wannian County busy? What does it have to do with him, the magistrate of Zhenxi County?"
But when Shangguan asked, he dared not not answer or tell lies, so he had to say, "If you say goodbye, we are Jingxian County, so there is no need to encourage production. The land price here is very expensive. If the people have land, they will not be able to farm well. As for tax collection, it is even simpler. No family in Jingji dares to resist taxes and refuse to pay, as for the case..."
When Yang Ze saw his expression, he knew that there must be many cases in Wannian County. Thinking about it, there are all officials everywhere, and there are countless wealthy families. A brick fell from the sky and three people were hit. Maybe two were officials, and the remaining one was a rich man. How could such a place be too many?
Guo Kangfu thought for a while and said, "When it comes to cases, there are so many cases here. I guess there are more cases than our Wannian County in the world, that is, Chang'an County, which is in the same city, and it is difficult to break them all. So the county lord and the chief lords, who don't care much about anything else, but they can't ignore the case. They are too busy and I haven't seen them have time to have leisure time."
Yang Ze nodded, took out a handful of golden seeds from his arms, and said, "This is for you to reward you. Take it. Remember, you will be mine in the future. No matter when and where, you must listen to me. Do you remember?"
Guo Kangfu looked at the handful of golden gourds and was shocked: "I am yours? Do you like men? But I am not handsome enough. No one can like me... But this handful of golden gourds looks real!" He took the hand and weighed it in his hand. He was ecstatic. He was not successful in the county government and had few benefits on weekdays. He had never received such a large amount of benefits!
Yang Ze said: "I don't have to explain the details of this to you. You can go back to the yamen and work hard. You will soon know who I am!" He waved his hand and sent Guo Kangfu away.
Guo Kangfu was full of questions, but he couldn't ask again. He took the constables away from Dacien Temple, left the temple gate, and went to the street. He touched the golden gourd in his arms again, thinking: "Don't worry, it's true that the gold is obtained anyway. Even if that adult has something to do in the future, I can do it as long as I can. Can't do it, and then I will accept another sum of gold for him, and then I said I can't do it!"
Yang Ze entered the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and saw Kumotara sitting on the first floor, reading the scriptures honestly. He was very obedient. He felt relieved and felt that it was time to go back to the palace to submit the order. He had completely solved the problem that Queen Dugu had told him.
Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen were left behind to watch Kumodara in the temple, and he took Mugen and a group of soldiers back to the inn.
When he returned to the inn again, there was a guest coming. The guest was very noble. He was actually Li Zhenglong, the son of the Prince of Xiang. Because Yang Ze did not live in the inn, there was no room for him. Li Zhenglong sat in the hall to drink tea, and did not avoid the people coming and going in the inn. Of course, no matter how many people were, he would not make do with him.
When Yang Ze saw this attitude, he knew that Li Zhenglong was here to win over him, and he was openly trying to win over him, so that other forces in the capital could see how good his relationship with Yang Ze was, so others should not try to win over Yang Ze again.
Yang Ze felt funny. This little prince came too late. Even if I don’t stand in the team of Li Yan, the eldest prince, I will still stand in the team of the eldest princess. You are here at this time, and the daylily is cold!
After raising his salute, Yang Ze smiled and said, "Little Prince, why are you here? I wonder who are waiting for?"
If it was the history that Yang Ze knew well, if this era was the Tang Dynasty, then Li Zhenglong, the son of the Prime Minister, would be Li Longji. This is a very powerful figure who will become an emperor in the future, and it is Emperor Minghuang of Tang. This era was not the Tang Dynasty, but generous. Although Li Zhenglong was also powerful, he was not Li Longji. It is not certain whether he could become an emperor. At least Yang Ze did not intend to bet on him.
Even if Li Zhenglong can become emperor in the future, so what? Yang Ze will not get more benefits from him. It is hard to say whether he can be ranked first-rank official and become the Duke and Prime Minister. Li Zhenglong does not owe him anything, and Yang Ze also believes that he has no ability and can become Li Zhenglong's confidant.
When Li Zhenglong saw Yang Ze coming back, he pretended to be surprised and said strangely: "Hey, isn't this Brother Yang? Why did you come back from Zhenxi?" In order to show that this was definitely a chance encounter, he said: "I came here to see a friend, but that friend was not here. I didn't expect to meet Brother Yang. You have been in the town for a long time now. Are you still used to eating mutton from the northwest?"
Yang Ze smiled and said, "This is a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet the little prince here. Xiaguan lived well in the west of the town. The mutton there was very tender. If you have the chance in the future, the little prince went to the west of the town and asked Xiaguan to make a good meal and invite the little prince to eat roasted whole lamb and drink horse milk wine!"
"Then, this opportunity really has to be waiting for the future. It's impossible recently!" Li Zhenglong smiled and grabbed Yang Ze's hand and said, "Why don't we go to your house to talk. I have good things to tell you!"
Yang Ze turned his head and looked at the manager in the inn. The manager was very good at doing things. He immediately came over and led the way in front, leading Yang Ze and Li Zhenglong to the best courtyard in the inn.
After entering the yard, Yang Ze smiled and said, "It's another independent courtyard. It seems that the officials are lucky. They go to Tianzhu to live in a separate courtyard. They still live in a separate courtyard in the inn. This person has surpassed the treatment and can't afford it!"
