Chapter 520 Wu Meiniang and Di Renjie
When Di Renjie saw the prince coming, he quickly took a few steps and knelt down to salute Li Zhi. When Hui Zheng saw the prince, he was also very excited. He was a monk and only worshipped Buddhas, not mortals, and did not kneel down and kowtow like Di Renjie. But he still walked up and put his palms together respectfully, bent down and bowed to Li Zhi. What Hui Zheng did and what he was in trouble, he followed Hui Zheng and chanted Amitabha!
Only Tang Xuanzang, who sat high on the altar, which was a simple altar composed of a table and a chair. He sat still without moving, but his butt was owed on the chair, and his palms were put together, and he recited the Buddha's name to Li Zhigao, and then he had already performed a ritual.
Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite." He looked up at Tang Xuanzang and thought to himself, "This monk is so arrogant. When he saw me, he couldn't even come down. I was standing with him and sitting, and I had to look at him. It's really outrageous!"
Wang Ping'an signaled Di Renjie to get up, stepped forward and pulled Di Renjie's hand, and said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness, this scholar is very patient. He is actually listening to the truth in the cold weather and freezing ground. He has such a mind and character, which is not something that ordinary scholars can have!"
Li Zhi's eyes turned from Tang Xuanzang to Di Renjie. Seeing that the young man was very neat and might be considered a handsome man, he nodded when he heard Wang Ping'an praise him. He felt that he had seen this scholar somewhere and had some impressions, but there were more people who had some impressions, but he couldn't remember who this person was.
Li Zhi said: "Yes, it's really a very patient person!" Following Wang Ping'an's words, he praised casually.
Wang Ping'an seized the opportunity and said with a smile: "It turns out that Your Highness also saw that he was patient, so he must be a very patient person. What is your name and resume? Tell him to Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Di Renjie swallowed his saliva and understood in his heart that it was the eldest brother who made him show his face in front of the prince. At this time, he could not pretend to be humble and had to chat hard!
Di Renjie said: "Your Highness, the prince, Di Renjie, a native of Bingzhou, is a scholar who wants to take the exam of the University of Science and Technology today, and stay in the Inspiration Temple."
Li Zhi nodded and said, "It turns out that he is from Bingzhou. No wonder your accent sounds very friendly." Bingzhou is very close to Taiyuan, and the Tang Dynasty was a home in Taiyuan, so there are many people who speak Taiyuan accents in both the court and the palace, and Li Zhi got used to it.
However, there are many people who speak this kind of accent, and it is one thing to feel friendly, but it would be unrealistic to regard Di Renjie as a character because of the trivial matter of accent!
Li Zhi walked forward slowly, wanting to say a few words to Tang Xuanzang.
Wang Ping'an said again: "Di Renjie, what is your resume? Tell me what you have. But judging from your young age, I'm afraid you don't have much experience. Don't use it as a resume when you're grazing sheep and fighting pig grass at home!"
Li Zhi smiled, turned around and said, "Great sheep and beat pig grass, how can this kind of farm work be used as a resume."
Li Yiren and Wu Meiniang also laughed. Li Yiren suddenly said, "Your name is Di Renjie? I seem to have seen you, but I just can't remember where I have seen you!"
Di Renjie thought to himself: "It was in Furong Garden, but there were too many people at that time. I could see you, but you could not notice me!" He quickly said politely, and then said: "After the villain came to Chang'an from his hometown, he worked in Dali Temple and did clerks, mainly to infer cases."
Wang Ping'an was funny in his heart. My brother is not honest either. He is not worse than others when he brags, and he has learned to raise his own value.
Di Renjie was recommended by Wang Ping'an and entered Dali Temple. He was actually just a helper. He was doing the job of serving tea and pouring water for others. Even if Qin Shaoqing of Dali Temple gave him some small work for Wang Ping'an's sake, he could not let him infer the case. At most, he would just let him read the case documents and help copy them!
But he said it vaguely, but it gave people a feeling that this little boy was very amazing. He could actually work in Dali Temple and be responsible for inferring cases. He was simply a big talent.
Li Zhi looked at Di Renjie and smiled and said, "It's amazing, no wonder Gu thought you were a patient person when he saw you. It turned out that he could make inferences about cases. People who are impatient cannot do this!"
Di Renjie hurriedly looked shy and lowered his head embarrassedly, beating himself that he was embarrassed. Anyway, his elder brother was right next to him, so he couldn't blame him!
Sure enough, Wang Ping'an also smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'm not to hide it. Di Renjie is a sworn brother for his ministers. As you said, he is the most patient and has good knowledge. I thought that Your Highness will definitely need a capable minister in the future, so I asked him to go to Dali Temple to help, and have a long experience. When I pass the Jinshi in this year, I will be able to serve you in the future!"
Li Zhi said loudly and nodded, "It turns out that he is your sworn brother without illness. No wonder he is such a great young man. Very good, Di Aiqing, if you have passed the Jinshi exam now, Gu will personally arrange flowers for you and send you to Dali Temple to serve. You must do your best, don't let Gu down on his expectations for you!"
Di Renjie was overjoyed. With the words of the prince, the eldest brother ordered himself to become a Jinshi, and others would not be able to pick on it! He quickly thanked the prince for his kindness and cultivation.
Wu Meiniang kept her head down, but when she heard Wang Ping'an recommend Di Renjie to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi praised him as a promising young man, she raised her head and looked at Di Renjie and thought to herself: "To say he is a child with yellow mouth, that would be too belittle him, but to say that he has the ability, it may not be necessary. It is estimated that he has a good relationship with Wang Ping'an, so Wang Ping'an arranged for him to wait here and find an opportunity to recommend him to the prince. His real ability may not be very high."
Li Yiren was not interested in Di Renjie. She was very interested in the carefree monk above, pointing to Tang Xuanzang and said, "He is the monk Xuanzang, that monk who pretended to be my envoy of the Tang Dynasty?"
Good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Tang Xuanzang made great wishes and used great perseverance to retrieve the scriptures from India, but the people in the palace only remembered that he pretended to be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty and the fact that he was captured by robbers. Even Li Yiren knew about it and even told him in person.
Tang Xuanzang chanted Amitabha loudly, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't care about Li Yiren's "sarcastic" at all. Instead, he owed his butt on the chair and said, "Who are you..."
Li Zhi and Li Yiren were stunned at the same time. When they were greeting, didn’t they call Li Zhi the prince? Why did he ask again at this time? Li Yiren thought to himself: “He doesn’t know who I am, but should I explain it to him?”
Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "This is..."
Before he could introduce him, Tang Xuanzang said again: "It doesn't matter. In the Buddha's heart, everything in the world is equal, what are the differences between Dukes, Marquis, Generals and Prime Ministers and ants?"
Everyone present took a breath. This person... shouldn't be worthy of a beating, but even if you think so in your heart, you can't say it out in public. Of course, there is a difference between the Duke, Marquis, Generals and Ants, and the difference is quite big!
Li Zhi's face changed. Tang Xuanzang didn't give him a greeting and sat on the table carelessly. After all, he was a monk, so he would not like to listen to him. Of course, no one likes to listen to him. If anyone changes his temper, he would easily kick the table down, causing Tang Xuanzang to fall down and lie with the ants on the ground. Even if he can't find the ants in the middle of winter, he would have to find the feeling of being an ants on the ground!
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "This is the Tang Dynasty. You are facing the prince. You can't compare him with the native princes in India. Their identities are far different!"
He hurriedly said, "It's not bad. There is no big difference between Dukes, Magistrates and Prime Ministers and Ants. They all have to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep. However, senior brother, the princess and princesses in front of you, so you should pay attention to your words!"
Di Renjie listened to Tang Xuanzang's sutra for half a morning and had already understood his personality. Master Xuanzang was very eloquent and knew how to suppress it first and then promote it. He said that ants were to attract the attention of the prince and the princess. As long as he focused his attention on him, he would definitely have something to say below. He followed the ant's words and told allusions, and he had to fool others, thinking that he was very reasonable, and it was possible to even join his disciples!
At this time, you need to show yourself. Tang Xuanzang can attract the attention of others, and Di Renjie can do it naturally. When Wang Ping'an finished speaking, Di Renjie said, "Master Xuanzang, you are not saying this. Since all things in the world are equal, why are you above and let us look up to you? Is it not equal to an ants? There are also differences between high and low?"
As he spoke, he pointed at himself with his hand first, then raised his arm and pointed at Tang Xuanzang, indicating that you all say that everyone is equal, why do we sit so high while standing?
He had already learned the style of Tang Xuanzang's speech, and just grabbed the key point. He was at the critical moment when Tang Xuanzang was paying attention, but he had not yet said the following words!
Tang Xuanzang was very skilled in debate and experienced. He could still win with a single challenge! Although he was choked by Di Renjie for a while, he did not change his face and immediately fought back. He nodded and said, "Yes, Master Di has a high understanding. I only heard that I had learned three of them after listening to the scriptures that I had explained in less than a morning. I had a great reputation for Buddha! It is better to go further and let me accept you as a disciple."
As he spoke, he stood up from the chair. Hui Zhenghe came over and helped him down when he was in trouble. Tang Xuanzang came to Di Renjie, looked at Di Renjie with admiration, and nodded, "Amitabha, don't you hesitate, why are you still hesitating? Why don't you hurry..."
Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Brother, if you talk about the skills of verbal skills, you really can't compare to others!" He suddenly raised his head, pointed at the sky, and shouted: "Look!"
When Leng Ding made such a move, everyone couldn't help but look up and looked in the direction he pointed.
