"It doesn't matter whether it's different arts, Taoism, or Buddhist esoteric methods. Both the country and the people are heretics. You can't govern the country at the top, and you can't calm the people at the bottom."
"His Royal Highness is already in this position, and he will be the king of a country in the future. Why do you want to pursue such illusory things?"
"The art of the king is not the art of governing the country? The art of the king is not the art of helping the people?"
"His Royal Highness, you are looking for far away!"
Li Zhi trembled all over, as if enlightened.
"Thank you sir for pointing out the maze! This time I really understand!" Li Zhi thanked Monkey King respectfully.
He is also a person with a smart mind, and only because he has seen Yuan Shoucheng's strange art with his own eyes, his mind is a little confused, so he set his sights on the miraculous strange art.
After Sun Wukong's instructions, Li Zhi's Lingtai was clear and bright, and he had no more distracting thoughts.

===Chapter 1195 Li Shimin's decision===
Chapter 1195 Li Shimin's Decision
It was dusk when Li Zhi left the inn where Monkey King was.
He stayed here for a day.
This was the longest time he spent outside the palace except with Wu Meiniang.
In the morning, Sun Wukong enlightened Li Zhi, and in the afternoon, Sun Wukong mainly chatted with Li Zhi about his experiences in the Western Regions.
The Great Tang is a kingdom of heaven, so it is no stranger to the countries of the Western Regions.
There are frequent trade and commerce exchanges, and there is also a lot of information about the countries of the Western Regions here in Tangtu.
Even Li Zhi knows more countries than Monkey King.
The countries in the Western Regions include not only Wuji and Chechi on the westbound road, but also Gaochang, Uighur, Tubo and other countries that Sun Wukong has never visited.
Nanfang Buzhou is vast, and Xiniu Hezhou is remote.
There are far more mortal kingdoms in this world than Monkey King's world.
As the prince, Li Zhi naturally knows more about the countries in the Western Regions.
Therefore, when Sun Wukong talked to him, Li Zhiduo could understand.
For example, the Xiliang women's country with a lot of women, such as the powerful Che Chi country.
Li Zhi can tell some stories and anecdotes about this famous country in the Western Regions.
At the same time, Li Zhi deepened his understanding of the countries in the Western Regions from Monkey King's narration.
For example, the reform of Xiliang women's country, such as the shrinking of Che Chi country.
At noon, I ordered some food and wine at the inn, and the two talked and laughed for another afternoon.
After a day of contact, Li Zhi already had a good impression of Monkey King.
When he left, he yelled at each other.
This is Li Zhi's expression of calling someone close to him.
After sending Li Zhi away, Monkey King was in a good mood.
The closer relationship with Li Zhi is conducive to the implementation of his plan later.
To break the Buddhist calculations, the most important thing is that Wu Meiniang cannot ascend the throne.
As long as she can't be the emperor, the Buddhist conspiracy will come to naught.
"Hmm... not bad, a good start!"
Satisfied, Monkey King sat cross-legged and began to practice.
He is indeed absorbing spiritual energy now, but at the same time he is operating the source of luck.
The spiritual energy absorbed will be directly converted into luck, and he is still an ordinary person to him.
At present, Sun Wukong has nothing to rush to improve, and his luck can at most return to the level of Jinxian, and this level of cultivation will not have any effect at all.
Sun Wukong intends to practice as a mortal, slowly accumulating luck, and gradually improving his strength.
……
"What! He went to meet a stranger!" Li Shimin's face was gloomy.
The two servants following Li Zhi stood in front of Li Shimin at this time.
Since what happened last time, Li Shimin secretly changed the people around Li Zhi.
"Your Majesty, the name of this Taoist is Perak. I went to Taichang Temple to check, and this person is indeed a Taoist who was ordered by Emperor Gaozu in the second year of Wood."
These two servants are actually elites drawn from bad people, and they are extremely efficient.
Knowing the identity of Monkey King, I went to check it, and it did confirm the identity of Monkey King.
"Gaozu ordered the Taoist priests of Endu? Do you know the reason?" Li Shimin asked.
He didn't remember this matter, Zhao Chi Endu logically said he should have heard about it.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty had just founded the country that year, and the war was quite tragic.
Liu Wuzhou pulled out Taiyuan, Xihe, Pingyao, Jiexiu, and Lishi all the way, and most of Hedong fell.
Li Shimin is leading Li Jing and Yin Kaishan to fight to the death with General Liu Wuzhou Yuchi Jingde at Longmenjin Ferry.
There is no time to care who the Taoist priest who ordered Endu is.
"I don't know. There is no record at Taichang Temple." The servant answered honestly.
They found nothing. The state affairs were chaotic that year, and many materials were not fully preserved.
"What did he say to the crown prince?" Li Shimin's expression turned ugly.
But as the two servants talked, Li Shimin's face gradually became weird.
"He really said that?" Li Shimin couldn't believe it.
"Every word is accurate, every sentence is true."
The two servants complemented each other, telling the complete words of Monkey King.
Even the expression of Monkey King's speech is vividly interpreted.
"This Perak Taoist is really interesting!" A smile appeared on Li Shimin's face.
As a stranger who can persuade the prince to put state affairs first, it seems that this Perak Taoist is also a Taoist with the country in mind.
"What else did he say to the prince? Did he agree to enter the prince's shogunate?" Li Shimin asked curiously.
"The conversation was all about the knowledge of the Western Regions, the national conditions of various countries, and so on. In the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happily left, calling the Perak Taoist Mr. But the Taoist did not indicate that he would enter the Crown Prince's shogunate."
The two servants answered truthfully, and they did not say a single word.
"Interesting, what does he want to do?" Li Shimin had a strange look on his face.
After dismissing the two servants, Li Shimin said to the door: "Come in. Tell me your opinion."
As soon as the words fell, a Taoist priest walked in outside the door. This person was Li Chunfeng.
"Thunderbolt... Weichen vaguely remembers the name. I was still young in the second year of Wood, and I admired the Taoist Daoist Endu very much."
"I remember that year, Emperor Gaozu suddenly ordered a real person who ordered Endu to be named Perak. Unfortunately, I have never seen this real Perak."
As a Taoist priest, Li Chunfeng naturally respected Zhao Endu's predecessors.
He was just 17 years old that year, and it was also when he had just joined Li Shimin's command.
With Li Chunfeng's confirmation, Sun Wukong's identity is considered solid. As for why Li Yuan suddenly ordered a Taoist priest, no one can figure it out.
"Go and check. Find out what this thunderbolt is and why you want to approach the prince." Li Shimin leaned on the desk and rubbed his temples.
In recent years, his physical fitness has been weakening so quickly that he feels dizzy and dizzy.
Li Chunfeng stepped forward and pointed to several acupuncture points of Li Shimin, and he felt much better.
Only Li Chunfeng, a confidant who has fought with Li Shimin for more than 30 years, can get in touch with Li Shimin's vitals so closely.
Li Chunfeng massaged Li Shimin's acupuncture points and said:
"Your Majesty, the real Perak did meet the prince by chance. When the king of Shunyang disappeared that day, someone also saw him in Pingkangfang."
"Weichen investigated him at that time. He entered Chang'an City from the west gate that morning. When passing by the restaurant at the west gate, he was almost hit on the head by a vase knocked down by the crown prince."
"The crown prince apologized to him, and invited him to a table of wine and food. He should have been there when His Majesty went to the restaurant. It must have used some means to prevent His Majesty from noticing him."
"Could Qingque's disappearance have something to do with him? Could it be him who replaced Wu Meiniang that day?"
Li Shimin asked twice in a row, but he even knew that Wu Meiniang was there.
He spoke very normally and didn't seem to care about it.
In fact, this is indeed the case. What Li Shimin cares about is the impact on the royal family if this matter is exposed.
He didn't notice a little Wu Meiniang.
What's more, this woman is still the candidate for the empress in the prophecy, so Li Shimin will not have any good feelings for her.
Li Chunfeng shook his head and said:
"The person who replaced Wu Meiniang must be Yuan Shoucheng. He said that he had been cultivating in the Qin Tianjian that day. My eyeliner saw him leave with my own eyes. The direction he went was to the west of the city, and the time also coincided."
After a pause, Li Chunfeng said again:
"As for the disappearance of the King of Shunyang, it is still uncertain for the time being. It's just that he did appear in Pingkangfang, and when the King of Shunyang disappeared, he really disappeared."
"Have you found those two oirans?" Li Shimin asked with his eyes closed.
"I don't know whether to live or die." Li Chunfeng shook his head and said.
"Go and meet him and find out his way." Li Shimin opened his eyes and said.
His affection gradually became dignified, he stood up and said to Li Chunfeng:
"If you are not sure that he is beneficial to Datang, it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible! There must never be another stranger like Yuan's uncle and nephew who can't figure out the details!"

=== Chapter 1196?
Chapter 1196
When Li Shimin and Li Chunfeng were pondering about Sun Wukong secretly, the Perak veteran was busy meditating and practicing.
He is still slowly improving his basic fists and kicks. Before he finds a suitable weapon, he still has to rely on his hands to deal with emergencies.
As the sun went down, the curfew drums in Chang'an City sounded again.
Stepping on the last ray of sunshine, galloping into the city on a fast horse,
"boom!"
The city gate was closed, and this person happened to be the last person to enter the city today.
"My lord, go back quickly. The curfew drum is still thirty or fifty!"
The captain of Chengmen was very polite to the middle-aged knight, calling him your lord.
Look at this man again, around 50 years old, full of travel and dust.
It was Tang Seng's cheap father, Sun Guo's own father, the middle-aged man Sun Wukong met before.
Sun Guangrui, a scholar of Wenyuandian University.
A while ago, Lao Sun was sent to Longyou to appease the victims, and he had to deal with some matters in Gongzhou on the way back, so he delayed his return until now.
In fact, he would have been two days later.
But the morning before yesterday, he received a message that his son Sun Guo was implicated in the disappearance of the king of Shunyang County and was arrested by Dali Temple.
Lao Sun is a child of old age, although he looks only about 50 years old, in fact he is nearly 70 years old.
Usually he is very strict with this son, but he also knows what kind of material a son is.
It's just that he never thought that this kid would have anything to do with the disappearance of the King of Shunyang.
When he was worried, Lao Sun galloped back alone, and arrived at the outskirts of Chang'an in the afternoon.
In Fangshi outside, I heard that Li Tai, the king of Shunyang County, had returned to the city, and all the others were also released.
