Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Li Chunfeng shook his head resolutely and said: "Uncle, you don't understand the grievances between our Taoism and Buddhism. If we say that our Taoism is born and bred, their Buddhism can at most be regarded as foreign monks, why should they let them have three shares? One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, If we let the limelight of Buddhism overshadow our Taoism, where will we put our faces? Dear, uncle, I have told you too much, I have to go back and tell my master about today's situation, this monk Xuanzang is too It’s amazing, if we don’t come up with a countermeasure sooner, the millions of people in Chang’an will have to believe in Buddhism or not.”

After finishing speaking, he pulled out the fly whisk at his waist and shook it, yelled "Let's go", and then ran away with a sound.

Guo Ye looked at Li Chunfeng who was going away, shook his head for a while, and muttered: "Don't you all say that people from other places are pure-hearted and ascetic? It seems that this is not accurate. Well, in a few days, Chang'an will definitely The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is about to start again, I'd better go to Yangzhou early, so as not to be caught in the middle, and exhaust myself to death."

After muttering, he raised his legs and was about to get into the car when he suddenly heard Liu Zhenxuan who was sitting on the shaft pointing his finger to the distance, and shouted: "Look, Lord Hou, isn't that Princess Wencheng's step and a group of ceremonial guards?"

Guo Ye looked up and saw Princess Wencheng's steps and guard of honor dozens of steps away. He couldn't help but wondered: "It's all over, why doesn't Princess Wencheng go back?"

Immediately, he boarded the carriage and signaled Liu Zhenxuan to drive there to see what happened.

Da da da……

The carriage drove slowly and came to Princess Wencheng's side. Looking closely, it was not only Princess Wencheng who hadn't left, but also the other three princesses' team of honor guards who hadn't left. The sisters all gathered here .

Perhaps because she noticed Guo Ye's arrival, Princess Wencheng took the lead to greet Guo Ye and said, "Your Majesty of Yizhou, you came out? Just now you were invited away by Master Xuanzang's disciples. Could it be that you and Master Xuanzang are still together?" Old acquaintance?"

Guo Ye nodded slightly to confirm Princess Wencheng's guess, and asked, "Princess, why haven't you left yet? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Wei are also there?"

After he finished asking, he scanned the surrounding area with his eyes, but he didn't find the guard of honor of Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King Wei Li Tai.

Princess Wencheng shook her head with a smile, and said, "Wei Wangdi lost so much face at the hands of the Marquis of Yizhou today, how could he still stay here? As for the crown prince, he was in a good mood and left early."

Guo Ye smiled awkwardly. He could only express his deep regret for Li Tai's self-inflicted humiliation. After all, Princess Wencheng and the other princesses belonged to the royal family with Li Tai. There are too many mistakes in everything.

Princess Wencheng could more or less guess what Guo Ye was thinking, and she no longer entangled in Li Tai's question, but explained: "The reason why our sisters did not leave is because we wanted to enter the Da Ci'en Temple to get close again. Listen to Master Xuanzang's lecture. It's a pity that the disciples in the temple said that Master Xuanzang is a little tired today, and it is inconvenient to meet with female laymen, so..."

Guo Ye nodded and said: "Understood, hehe, Master Xuanzang is cautious, and the princesses are of special status, so it is really inconvenient to meet privately. But I heard that Master Xuanzang used to go to the palace to give lectures to the empress. Maybe next time he enters the palace, you will be able to ask some doubtful questions up close."

Princess Wencheng smiled and said, "That's the only way. Buddhism talks about fate, so we can only follow fate, right?"

Guo Ye gave a thumbs up and praised: "Princess, what you said is good. It seems that after listening to Master Xuanzang preaching the Dharma today, I have benefited a lot."

"Heck~~ The Marquis of Yizhou will make people happy and choose nice words." Princess Wencheng smiled like a flower, and said with a radiant look, "By the way, the Marquis of Yizhou hasn't seen my royal sisters yet, right? Come on, I I recommend it for you."

As she spoke, she brought Guo Ye to the vicinity of Princess Gaoyang and the others. The three princesses were whispering secretly, especially Princess Gaoyang laughed a little loudly. signs of.

When the three sisters saw Princess Wencheng leading a man forward, they immediately stopped talking and turned their gazes to Guo Ye.

Princess Wencheng introduced to the three of them: "Three imperial sisters, this is Yizhou Marquis Guoye, Mr. Guo is a celebrity in Chang'an, you should have heard of it? By the way, I heard yesterday that Yizhou Hou will soon go south to Yangzhou to take up the post of governor of Yangzhou, to govern the region and educate the people for his father, he is young and promising."

Seeing Princess Wencheng praising him so much in front of the three proud daughters of heaven, Guo Ye couldn't help feeling a little elated.

Men always like to show their extraordinary side in front of beautiful women.

Immediately, he pretended to be reserved and cupped his hands in the direction of the palace to thank him and said: "Thanks to the emperor's love and entrusting me with a heavy responsibility, we are also the king's salary, and it is a matter of loyalty!"

"Hey, a flamboyant prodigal son can play tricks, I really don't know how the father values ​​you, hum!"

The person who spoke was none other than Princess Gao Yang, who had always been unimpressed with Guo Ye.

Guo Ye was immediately embarrassed when he heard the words, isn't this big tit girl too straightforward?I really don't give face at all.

Princess Wencheng was also embarrassed for a while, why did her imperial sister have such a deep prejudice against Guo Ye, could it be that she really had a disagreement?

Of course, she never heard Guo Ye and Princess Gao Yang mention that they met in Ganlu Palace back then.

So, she immediately rescued Guo Ye and said, "Marquis of Yizhou, let me introduce you, this is Princess Gaoyang."

Since Princess Gao Yang didn't like him, Guo Ye didn't bother to flatter her, he cupped his hands lazily, and said softly, "I've seen Princess Gao Yang."

"Humph!"

Princess Gao Yang pouted and turned her head away, ignoring Guo Ye's greeting.

Guo Ye suffocated again, cursing in his heart, good big tit girl, there will always be times when you beg for mercy.

Princess Wencheng quickly introduced the other two princesses, and said, "Marquis of Yizhou, the one on the left is Princess Chengyang, and the one on the right wearing a purple palace dress is Princess Changle."

Guo Ye bowed to the two princesses Chengyang and Changle again to say hello.

However, he also paid a little attention to the two princesses. Princess Chengyang is about thirteen or fourteen years old.

But it was Princess Changle. After seeing her, he couldn't help but his eyes brightened. This Princess Changle was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had already completely inherited the excellent genes of Empress Changsun.

The pale willow eyebrows and eyes are like crescent moons, the oval face is as flawless as jade, and the slender figure is lined with a purple palace skirt, exuding the temperament of an orchid in an empty valley.

Absolutely a complete beauty embryo.

However, there are also some unsatisfactory places, that is, Princess Changle's complexion looks a little weak, her brows are sad, her skin is pale and bloodless, and there is a beauty inside and out, but it is more like a sickly beauty.

Guo Ye vaguely remembered this Princess Changle from the historical materials of later generations, and she was also the one who left more and more detailed historical materials among the royal princesses.

Her boudoir name Lizhi, which means natural beauty, is the most beloved daughter of Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

If His Majesty Li Er dotes on Wei Wang Li Tai the most among the princes, then Li Lizhi is the only royal princess among the princesses who is loved by thousands of people.

The reason why she is so favored, besides the fact that she has completely inherited the genes of the eldest grandson queen, and the mother and daughter look very similar, there is also the most important reason——

That is, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle also completely inherited the Qi disease of Empress Changsun.

His Majesty Li Er loves the house and Wu, so naturally he loves and dotes on his poor daughter even more.

In other words, the reason why Princess Changle in front of Guo Ye looked weak and pale was because she was suffering from asthma at a young age.

If you followed the original historical track, Princess Changle, who suffered from asthma since childhood, would marry Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong in the eighth year of Zhenguan. Finally, on August 17, [-]th year in Zhenguan, she died of an illness and was buried in Zhao Next to Empress Mausoleum Changsun.

Because of the death of her beautiful and unlucky young man, His Majesty Li Er cried bitterly for three days and three nights, repeatedly crying until he fainted.

Among all the sons and daughters, this honor can be regarded as the only one.

Pity……

Guo Ye glanced at her with some pity, but soon he was relieved, because since he could make Sun Simiao treat Empress Changsun in advance, Empress Changsun and His Majesty Li Er must also make arrangements for their daughter.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye felt a little more at ease.

Such a beautiful woman shouldn't be a confidante.

……

……

When Princess Changle saw this Marquis of Yizhou who had never met before, she actually looked at her with fiery eyes, her heart suddenly became frightened, and she was confused and awkward, and she retreated behind Princess Gaoyang at a loss.

She lowered her head shyly like a begonia again, a blush crept up her tender neck quietly.

Princess Gaoyang saw that Guo Ye's eyes were dishonest, and he looked at Changle so unscrupulously. Naturally, she felt angry, and she raised her chest arrogantly, with her hands on her hips, ignoring the trembling of the two big white rabbits, and scolded: "Yizhou Marquis, If you keep aiming dishonestly, be careful that this princess will goug out your eyes and feed them to the dogs!!!"
