Although many soldiers and generals died in the battle of Weishui, the Tang army won in the end, so it was a national celebration, especially when Chang ‘an got the news, it was already decorated with lights and decorations, as if it were a busy New Year.
Eric Suen Yiu Wai, as the representative of heaven, was grandly invited into the palace and arranged the best room to live in. Li Shimin, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, said that there would be a meeting on the future development of Datang in a few days, hoping that Eric Suen Yiu Wai could participate.
Originally, Eric Suen Yiu Wai was not interested in this meeting. The reason why he stayed was that he just wanted Li Shimin to expand and rebuild his temple. In addition, he wanted to discuss with Li Shimin the cultivation of the Tang army’s war horses.
Although there is a rule in heaven that immortals should not interfere in human battles without authorization, there are loopholes in this rule because of the existence of monsters, that is, although they can’t directly participate, they can support a country or an army by providing heavenly horses or weapons, or even training monks.
What Eric Suen Yiu Wai has to do is to monopolize the horse husbandry of Datang and really bring the relationship between this world and heaven closer.
However, after hearing that there were Guanyin tuas from the western screamo temple and Tang Sanzang, a representative figure of folk Buddhism, he decided to accept the invitation of the Tang Emperor and participate in the meeting, because he knew that the meeting would probably affect the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the heaven and screamo temple in the future.
Li Shimin, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was naturally very happy when he heard that Eric Suen Yiu Wai was willing to participate. He laughed and said, "I heard that a monkey made a scene in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago, or the Buddha came to the rescue. Presumably, the relationship between the Heavenly Palace and the Leiyin Temple should be very good. Just this time, with the participation of Master Guanyin and our most valued Tang Sanzang, several people can also get in touch with each other."
From Li Shimin’s tone, it is not hard to hear that this Ren Huang is obviously biased towards screamo temple. It will take a long time to make him fully believe in heaven.
But this Eric Suen Yiu Wai doesn’t care. He only cares about herding horses now. If the screamo temple is going to do other things, let them do it. Anyway, this is not something that a small Bi Mawen can manage.
After the Tang Emperor left, Eric Suen Yiu Wai had a good sleep on chuáng. Up to now, he hasn’t the consciousness of being a fairy, and he always feels that he is actually a mortal, and many behaviors are just like mortals.
When I woke up the next day, Eric Suen Yiu Wai noticed that there were a few more strong smells in Chang ‘an, among which there were several other ones besides the familiar Guanyin Bodhisattva, but I didn’t know where they came from. After all, Eric Suen Yiu Wai had little chance to leave the heaven, and he really didn’t know much about the lower fairy.
The palace of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is very similar to the Lingxiao Hall, but it’s just a little less dusty. Those who don’t come here are not for cultivation, but just for the sake of chā.
Eric Suen Yiu Wai noticed that all the immortals present here include Guanyin Bodhisattva from screamo Temple, the dragon king of Weishui from the Dragon Palace in the Four Seas, some scattered immortals from the account of Genko, the ancestor of the fairy, and of course, the city god under the jurisdiction of the underworld, as well as the land and the kitchen king under the jurisdiction of heaven.
Although the status of the Earth God and the Kitchen God is not high, they seem to be wearing a golden armor in this palace on earth, which greatly raises their status, and immortals from all walks of life dare not despise them.

Chapter seventy-five Embarrassed Guanyin
As Ren Huang, also known as the son of heaven, Li Shimin still showed great momentum in front of these immortals, instead of being passive and humble like ordinary mortals.
"First of all, I would like to thank you for coming to this meeting. I am an ordinary man. Although I am interested in strengthening the country and enriching the people, I am suffering from demons and being constrained everywhere. I hope you can help me and create a prosperous Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin’s words are forceful. Although they are requests, they are also open.
"Your Majesty Ren Huang is welcome. Although this king is only the dragon king of the Weihe River, he is willing to do his bit to make the land along the Weihe River féi fertile and the grain is abundant." WeiShui dragon king said first.
As a dragon king, there are some ambitions. Aoyou, the dragon king of Weishui, is bent on becoming one of the dragon kings of the four seas. He has suffered a lot and made a lot of efforts. However, after all, the official has spoken lightly and has never been promoted. The relationship between the dragon kings of the four seas is intertwined and has long formed his own small circle. Is it possible for outsiders to interfere? Even if Emperor Yu wants to change the dragon king, it may not be possible.
Aoyou can’t get the support of heaven, so he can only aim at the world. If the incense in the Longwang Temple in Weishui is strong enough, his cultivation will improve faster. When he can completely despise heaven and despise the four seas, even Ao Guang and Emperor Yu will certainly stop him from dominating the world.
Especially after hearing what happened in the Monkey King five hundred years ago, he became more attentive to it. In his mind, the main reason why the Monkey King didn’t succeed was that his strength was not strong enough, so he was stronger than the Monkey King.
Aoyou is a man who is very good at camouflage. His mind is basically unknown, even to his family, and he doesn’t know what’s on his mind. The Dragon King of the Four Seas regards him as a conscientious and good subordinate.
But such a move by Aoyou has attracted the attention of Eric Suen Yiu Wai. Eric Suen Yiu Wai himself is an ambitious man, but he doesn’t want to expose Lu, so he is very familiar with people like Aoyou.
When he noticed that Aoyou was talking, his eyes inadvertently flashed with an eager and ambitious look, and he suddenly felt that the Dragon King might be able to take advantage of it.
Although Emperor Yu gave him full responsibility for the dragon horse, the Dragon King of the Four Seas may not buy this account. If he complains to Emperor Yu, he will appear to be incompetent, and then he will give orders to others. But it will be easy to hook up with the dragon king of Weishui. Instead of bowing to the existing forces, it is not impossible to cultivate his own forces and replace the dragon king of the East China Sea with the dragon king of Weishui.
"Amitabha, we believe that the dragon king of Weishui can contribute to the development of Datang. I hope that in the future, the Dragon Palace in Lishui and my Leiyin Temple will work together to help Datang Ren Huang. " At this time, the avalokitesvara Buddha looked at the dragon king of Weishui with a smile, and said these words. The intention was probably similar to that of Eric Suen Yiu Wai, who wanted to draw the dragon king of Weishui to his side.
"The kindness of Master Guanyin is appreciated by the king, but after all, the king belongs to the heaven. If you want to cooperate with Leiyin Temple, you should also have the official document of the heaven to approve it, otherwise you will be criticized for making friends with Leiyin Temple without authorization." Aoyou, the dragon king of Weishui, is also a shrewd man. Knowing that being entangled with screamo Temple at this time will be even worse for his career, and it is not in line with his strategy of keeping a low profile, so he politely declined Guanyin’s kindness.
Hearing the conversation between the two men, Eric Suen Yiu Wai also secretly chuckled. After all, the screamo temple belongs to the western forces. If you want to enter the East, you can’t do it overnight. Even if you win the heaven by horse racing, you get such an opportunity. Even if you are favored by Li Shimin, the difficulty is not reduced at all.
Just thinking about it, I heard the dragon king of Weishui suddenly lead the topic to him.
"For God’s sake, please be worshipped by the little god first." The Dragon King of Weishui made a respectful bow to Eric Suen Yiu Wai, and then said, "It’s a great achievement for the Buddha to send down the heavenly soldiers and generals to save the Tang Dynasty in from the mire. The little god wants to hear his thoughts. If there is anything useful for the little god, you can ask."
Eric Suen Yiu Wai did Sarah laugh: You are not stupid. You want to take this seat on your boat, right? But it doesn’t matter, I’m worried that I can’t catch your boy’s handle. Since you invited us, we just followed your wish.
Thinking of this, Eric Suen Yiu Wai smiled and said with a smile, "The Dragon King of Weishui really thinks highly of this seat. Although this seat has been named as the God of Horses, it is actually just a Bimawen. How can a small official in charge of Tianma gain the attention of the Dragon King?"
"Buddha is joking. Who doesn’t know that Buddha is now a celebrity in front of Emperor Yu, and Hun Dun Vortex was born 500 years ago. Now the mount has become an indispensable thing for the third-order fairy demon. What Buddha has mastered seems useless, but it is actually fundamental." Aoyou said with a smile.
"Ha, ha, ha, WeiShui dragon king so highly of this seat, if you continue to be modest, it would be a bit hypocritical. To tell you the truth, besides helping Ren Huang out, we have another important task, but we can’t change it here. However, if you are interested, you can cooperate with us in the future and work together to serve the heaven and benefit the Tang Dynasty. " Eric Suen Yiu Wai ha ha smiled, this remark made it clear that the screamo temple was excluded, because whether it is the Dragon Palace, the underworld, the land, the kitchen king, or even the fairy represented by Zhenyuanzi, it has a very close relationship with heaven, and only the screamo temple seems to be out of place with heaven.
Besides, it is estimated that Guanyin will not do it if she wants to serve the heaven.
Ren Huang Li Shimin said a word straight from the beginning, and then he has been watching these immortals bicker and bicker there. At this time, he finally couldn’t stand it. He hurriedly said, "You are all distinguished guests invited by me, but don’t hurt your feelings because of small things."
"Ren Huang, what I’m waiting for will be solved under S and, you don’t have to worry about that. The plan for today is, Ren Huang, what do you think of yourself and what should I do for help? " Eric Suen Yiu Wai looked at Li Shimin lightly, with a sense of superiority.
After all, not everyone can look down on the emperor on earth. Eric Suen Yiu Wai has become a celestial immortal and a horse-riding Buddha. There is also a nouveau riche mentality, which is natural and full of vanity. For him, looking down on an emperor on earth is a kind of enjoyment.
Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said with a smile, "Actually, I have also considered these things. There must be three things to do to enrich the country and strengthen the people. The first point is to ensure a bumper harvest of grain, which will trouble the Dragon King of Weishui and all of you in heaven. The second point is the prosperity of culture. I am determined to send Tang Sanzang to Lei Yin in the West to seek the true scriptures, and then carry forward the Buddhism in Datang. The third point is Qiang Bing, especially there must be enough cavalry troops to resist Turkic fighters.

Chapter seventy-six Abuse of power for personal gain, Daxing Temple
Li Shimin’s words have basically got all of you here, but it seems that he has neglected those earthly immortals. Thinking of this, Li Shimin quickly added: "Now, there is a rampant evil spirit, and a country can’t live without monks and strong men. We must also bother you earthly immortals to help train a group of monks and defend the glory of our Tang Dynasty."
Hearing these words, the faces of several fairies are better. People have a good face. Fairies have a better face than people. Sometimes they are not afraid, but they will be angry if they lose face.
When Li Shimin finished speaking, Eric Suen Yiu Wai added: "We are also very interested in Ren Huang’s future plans, but should we solve the problem of continuous drought and lack of rain recently?"
He knows very well that it is very unwise to stop Li Shimin from sending Tang Sanzang to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, which can only annoy the Ren Huang. In fact, he doesn’t have to stop it. After all, the Monkey King, Friar Sand and Pig Bajie have all been bought by him. The so-called Buddhist scriptures are actually just propaganda for his celestial ranch. Why did he stop it?
So what Eric Suen Yiu Wai is concerned about now is whether his temples in Datang can be increased or not, and whether the incense is strong enough.
Anyway, it’s all right to abuse power for s: and, as long as it can increase the incense, he won’t care what others say. After all, being in charge of good weather is the power given to him by Emperor Yu.
What Eric Suen Yiu Wai said immediately caused the sorrow of Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty: "Alas, you may not know that in recent years, it has been raining continuously, perhaps because God punished me for the Tang Dynasty. Except for the fertile land by the Weishui River, the rest places are almost closed, which is also a headache for me. I wonder if you have any good methods to solve this problem?"
On hearing this, the Dragon King of Weishui hastened to offer his hospitality, saying, "I can report to the superior. Although the Dragon Palace can’t be in charge of good weather, it can rain, which may help Ren Huang solve the current crisis."
"I appreciate the kindness of the Dragon King of Weishui, but the Dragon King of the Four Seas seems to have some misunderstanding with me. Many times I went to the ancestral temple to beg for rain, but in return, it was raining cats and dogs, which not only failed to help, but also caused the remaining food crops to be drowned." Tang Huang said sadly.
"Well, then the king can’t help it." The dragon king of Weishui smiled awkwardly and felt helpless.
Actually, Eric Suen Yiu Wai knew about why the Dragon King of the Four Seas sent down heavy rain. It is said that Li Shimin had been to the East China Sea once before Taiyuan started fighting. Originally, he asked the Dragon King of the East China Sea to help him to start fighting successfully and destroy the violent Sui Dynasty. However, the Dragon King of the East China Sea suffered from the worship and incense of Emperor Yangdi on weekdays and was unwilling to help. Instead, he knocked Li Shimin and several guards around him into the water and staged a drama.
At that time, Li Shimin was youthful, so he stabbed a sword on the Dragon King of the East China Sea. He was the future son of heaven and was sheltered by the dragon breath. Therefore, this sword seemed ordinary, but it left the dragon in the East China Sea at the root of the disease. From then on, he hated Li Shimin’s guts.
