Chapter 159: King Gaochang forcibly left Xuanzang
"Not bad! I talked to the holy monk Xuanzang, and he wanted to preach the Dharma, but I didn't agree! After all, internal and external turmoil! But...... I have a good colt and settled the surroundings of Chang'an! Moreover...... I also wanted to collect information from the West, so I agreed! Merely...... He wants to go away to foreign tribes, passing through the Turks, the Western Regions and other places! Because at that time, the Turks had repeatedly made trouble on the border, and the Western Regions were chaotic! That's why I didn't agree to let the holy monk Xuanzang go west......" Li Shimin's face changed, but Princess Huarong didn't see it! Li Shimin walked a few steps and said, "Alas! However, this Xuanzang is also more tough! ”
Princess Huarong nodded and muttered, "Your Majesty is also doing this for the sake of the holy monk, but ...... The holy monk will inevitably go through many trials and tribulations in this trip! ”
"Hmm...... Traveling far away in Tianzhu will indeed suffer from many crises! But ......" Li Shimin said this, suddenly thought of something, and said suspiciously: "Xuanzang is going west, and he needs to travel south to reach Gaochang Kingdom...... Why did Xuanzang go south to Gaochang Kingdom? ”
"Your Majesty! The holy monk Xuanzang will inevitably only go west when he goes to Tianzhu, but he ...... I don't know what happened to the holy monk Xuanzang in the desert, and he actually wanted to go west! Then it will inevitably reach the territory of Igo Province first! ”
Princess Huarong was talking, and when she saw Li Shimin motioning for her to sit down and say, she replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Princess Huarong sat down, she began to talk about Xuanzang's journey from Yiwu to his departure from Gaochang Kingdom......
"After the holy monk Xuanzang arrived in Yiwu country, he first went to the local temple to live! The matter of Xuanzang Holy Monk coming to Yiwu country was spread by ten, ten by hundred, and soon spread in the country! The king of Yiwu and some monks went to pay their respects! And the king of Yiwu country specially invited Xuanzang to the palace, and even treated him as a guest! ”
Li Shimin was also a little relieved when he heard Princess Huarong say this! Although Princess Huarong said it very well, and the holy monk Xuanzang was fine, Li Shimin knew it...... From Chang'an to Liangzhou to Guazhou, there is also the desert! I'm afraid that only Xuanzang himself knows the hardships in his heart!
Princess Huarong continued: "It happened that there was a Gaochang envoy who was also there......" Speaking of this, Princess Huarong glanced at Li Shimin, and saw that Li Shimin's face was calm, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "After the envoy returned to China, he told my king about the meeting of Xuanzang Holy Monk in Yiwu country!" ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he could probably guess part of it! It must be the reason for Ju Wentai, otherwise, how could the holy monk Xuanzang go to Gaochang! It's not a good place to go......
Then, Princess Huarong said slowly and said, "My king was overjoyed to hear that the holy monks of the Tang Dynasty had arrived in Yiwu Kingdom! He immediately sent an envoy to the country of Igo to bring the holy monk over...... And dozens of good horses were selected to greet ......"
Sure enough, Li Shimin smiled! It seems that my guess is quite accurate! Princess Huarong continued: "After the envoy ushered in the holy monk Xuanzang, my king personally went out of the palace and took the holy monk Xuanzang to the backyard of the palace to plant!" Arrange for the holy monk Xuanzang to ...... in the treasure tent of the heavy pavilion"
Hearing Princess Huarong say this, Li Shimin nodded, and said in his heart: This Ju Wentai loves Buddhism very much, and it seems that this worship and love is not false! Then Li Shimin said: "It seems that King Gaochang is a big believer in Buddhism?!" Hahaha......"
Princess Huarong said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, but my king believes in Buddhism!" On the first night of the arrival of the holy monk Xuanzang, my king stayed up all night, reading the scriptures and waiting for the ......"
Li Shimin listened to it very seriously! Princess Huarong saw that Li Shimin listened very seriously, so she also spoke very seriously, only to hear Princess Huarong continue: "On the second day, the holy monk Xuanzang had not yet gotten up early, so my king hurriedly took all the nobles to visit and greet him......
After being woken up by the attendant, the holy monk Xuanzang opened the door and saw that the king of Gaochang came to greet the princess and his relatives, so he hurriedly called a Buddha name: "Amitabha!" Poor monk Xuanzang visits His Majesty......"
Ju Wentai hurriedly said: "Holy monk, hurry up and excuse ......" Then Ju Wentai hesitated and said: "Holy monk! I have something to ask for, and I ask the holy monk not to shirk it......"
Xuanzang said: "Amitabha! Your Majesty, please speak! If the poor monk knows what he can do, he will help His Majesty! The monks don't talk ......"
"I have heard that the holy monk is the reincarnation of the Buddha, and as a believer in Buddhism, I would like to invite the holy monk to discuss and promote the Dharma here ......" Ju Wentai said and looked at Xuanzang and saw that his face was happy! Then he asked himself and replied: "The holy monk Xuanzang will live in the Buddhist temple of the palace, so that he can discuss the Dharma with the monks in the temple......
Xuanzang said happily: "Amitabha! So...... The poor monk would be respectful and obey! Thank you, Your Majesty...... "Such a good opportunity to preach Buddhism, Xuanzang naturally will not refuse, and ...... I am very satisfied! If Ju Wentai didn't mention it, Xuanzang himself would probably go to the palace to ask for help......
Ju Wentai said happily: "This is very good! Hahaha...... Come! Let's get ready for vegetarian fasting! After ordering the next person to prepare for food, Ju Wentai said to Xuanzang again: "Holy monk! Please! ”
"Amitabha! Your Majesty! Please! "Xuanzang is also a top hat and let Ju Wentai go first, no matter how much Ju Wentai likes Buddhism, but at least the memory he can't forget! After all...... This is also the king of a nation!
Ju Wentai walked in front with a smile, holding Xuanzang's hand! But Xuanzang is like a little white face, let Ju Wentai pull it like this! may be the reason why the two hit it off at first sight......
After eating, Ju Wentai took Master Xuanzang to the Buddhist temple in the palace, ignoring even the country's political achievements! All morning, Xuanzang was discussing Buddhism with the monks in the Buddhist temple! Ju Wentai did not leave, but maintained a high concentration and listened carefully to the two eminent monks discussing Buddhism with each other......
In this way, Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, was in Xuanzang's palace during the time he lived! has always treated Xuanzang with courtesy, but ...... Xuanzang can't stay in Gaochang Kingdom forever, and he will always leave......
King Gaochangguo also realized this, and in addition to devout Buddhism every day, he was thinking about how to keep the holy monk Xuanzang and not let him leave......
On this day, the holy monk Xuanzang was led to meet the king of Gaochang Ju Wentai! Counting today, the holy monk Xuanzang has been in the Gaochang Kingdom for more than ten days! The holy monk Xuanzang thought that it was better to take this opportunity today, so he asked Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, to leave the west to ask for Buddhist scriptures......
As soon as Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, saw the holy monk Xuanzang, he happily greeted: "Holy monk! Hurry up, please take a seat! Hahaha......" Xuanzang saluted Ju Wentai and pronounced a Buddha name: "Amitabha!" Then he said, "Thank you, poor monk, Your Majesty......"
"Haha...... The holy monk doesn't have to pay so many respects, and the holy monk's insights and understanding of the Dharma really opened my eyes...... Hahaha...... "Ju Wentai really likes this Tang Dynasty monk, and he is also the best at the Buddhism he believes in, and he is a high monk!" Thinking of this, Ju Wentai suddenly had the idea of leaving Xuanzang behind, and ...... The idea is born and cannot be stopped......
"Amitabha! Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty's pious heart, the Buddha Lord will also be aware of it......" After Xuanzang finished speaking, he said: "Your Majesty! This time, the poor monk went to Tianzhu, the holy land of Buddhism, to seek the true scriptures of Buddhism to save the world! It's been more than ten days since I came here, and it's time for the poor monk to return! I hope Your Majesty ......"
When Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, heard this, he immediately secretly said that it was not good! Hurriedly said: "Hey! No hurry, no hurry! This time I went west to seek the true scriptures, and the road was far away! It's not too late for me to prepare for the holy monk and then go west......"
"This ...... Your Majesty ...... "Xuanzang still has something to say, Ju Wentai hurriedly said: "Presumably the holy monk hasn't eaten fasting yet, right?" After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xuanzang to answer, he ordered his subordinates to prepare a meal for Xuanzang, and took Xuanzang back to his residence......
Gaochang Wang Ju Wentai looked at the back of Xuanzang leaving and muttered, "I want to go...... I'm afraid you won't be able to leave! You can't go to Tianzhu, and you don't want to go back to Chang'an! Stay in Gaochang City for me...... I won't do you any wrong...... Xuanzang Holy Monk!! ”
Xuanzang also has some selfish motives, and he does have this idea to preach Buddhism in the Gaochang Kingdom! At that time, the Gaochang Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty did not conflict, on the contrary...... Relations between the two countries are not bad! Among them, there is the credit of Princess Huarong, but it is just ...... Princess Huarong is a princess and a princess, married for the great cause of the Sui Dynasty! But later, the Sui Dynasty was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Huarong not only did not provoke the relationship between Gaochang and the Tang Dynasty, but also often reported to the Tang Dynasty! Paying attention to Gao Changguo's every move......
After staying for another day, on the second day, Xuanzang thought that Ju Wentai should have prepared everything he needed! I packed up my clothes and other items again, and went to see Ju Wentai again in the morning!
After Xuanzang saw Ju Wentai, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Amitabha! Xuanzang greets His Majesty! Ju Wentai looked at Xuanzang holding a big bag and a small bag, looking like he was going to travel far away, how could he not know why Xuanzang came? He frowned and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Holy monk is exempt!" I don't know ...... holy monk."
"Your Majesty! Yesterday, the poor monk had already told His Majesty that the poor monk should hurry to Tianzhu to get the true scriptures......" Before Xuanzang finished speaking, Ju Wentai interrupted him, and pretended to forget, patted his forehead and said, "Oh...... What ...... this?"
