Xuanzang was a little flattered.

In fact, his original hope was just that the Tang Dynasty issued a document to him to leave the customs, and it would be best if he could have a letter from the Tang Dynasty to let the countries in the Western Regions along the way get some care.

But who would have thought that as soon as Chen Zhengtai opened his mouth, he would take such great care of him.

You know, he didn't know how many times he had touched the wall before.

So, even if he had an extraordinary bearing, he couldn't help but be grateful: "Then, thank you to Han Gong." ”

"Don't call Han Gong, I have a common name, my name is Chen Zhengtai, just call me Brother Chen in the future."

Chen Zhengtai was very enthusiastic.

Xuanzang ...... for a while Speechless.

Brother Chen......

Obviously, you're much younger than the poor monk, okay?

It's just that...... Chen Zhengtai looks so bold, Xuanzang deliberately didn't give Chen Zhengtai face.

His heart was on his mind to go to the West and seek the true scriptures, and in order to achieve this goal, he did not know how much effort he had expended, and now he ...... The opportunity was in front of him, so he still said against his will: "Thank you, Brother Chen." ”

Chen Zhengtai smiled: "You are in Chang'an, do you have a place to live?" ”

"I'm staying in a nearby temple for a while."

"That's right." Chen Zhengtai said: "Then after you go back, and wait for my news, I will go to face the saint tomorrow, and before the day after tomorrow, there will be a response, you can rest assured, this matter is on me." ”

Chen Zhengtai is a man who keeps his promises, so early the next morning, he rushed into the palace to face the saint.

Seeing Li Shimin, Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "You don't train well there, what are you wandering around all day long?" There's nothing going on here. ”

Chen Zhengtai was speechless, what are these words, do you have to stay in the camp every day for military training? I, Chen Zhengtai, can train even if I lie at home every day.

Of course, these words can't be said nonsense, Chen Zhengtai was busy accepting criticism with an open mind, and said with a painful look: "Yes, yes, Erchen is really dead, but today Erchen has something to see." ”

Li Shimin just scolded casually, and the new army ...... There are only 5,000 people, which Li Shimin is not satisfied with.

Li Shimin felt that there should be at least 20,000 people, but there were only so many children of 100 workers, and it was impossible to recruit all crooked melons and cracked dates, so he could only give up.

As for the extent to which the new army's combat power can be, Li Shimin is not sure, since he already has the intention of completely suppressing the world, then ...... The mind could never be shaken, so he said, "What? ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "There is a monk, named Xuanzang, who wants to go west and seek Buddhist scriptures, and his sons feel that this person is kind and loyal, and the court should not prohibit it." ”

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning: "Xuanzang ......"

He could not have had any impression of a monk.

He was not interested in such a trivial matter, so he said, "What does his kindness and loyalty have to do with forbidding him to go west?" ”

"Erchen means ......"

Without waiting for Chen Zhengtai's explanation, Li Shimin waved his hand: "Then let him go out of the customs, such a trivial matter, why do you have to come here to say it in person." ”

"Erchen is afraid that he is in danger." Chen Zhengtai said honestly: "So I plan to send some guards to him, and he is a monk, and he has to travel thousands of miles, and his sons are very distressed when they see him, so ...... So I think ...... Someone always needs to take care of his daily life. ”

Li Shimin asked: "What is the common name of this person?" ”

"This ...... I don't know, it seems that the surname is Chen. ”

"Your relatives?"

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "The sons are wronged, and the sons have no favoritism......"

Li Shimin looked very indifferent: "It's your relatives who are kind, not your relatives, you came here on purpose, and I have to beat you up for such a big effort for an inexplicable monk." You are now a general of the new army, and the stakes are very high, and you have nothing to do all day long, what does this mean? ”

Groove ......

It actually makes sense.

So Chen Zhengtai stiffened his head and said with a dry smile: "Actually...... It's also a relative, he calls me big brother. ”

Li Shimin said: "Since it is a relative, then it is accurate, how many people want to go out of the customs, I am allowed here." ”

Li Shimin felt that this was just a small matter, but Chen Zhengtai came here, and this bit of grace still had to be given, so it seemed that he had immeasurable kindness to Chen Zhengtai.

Li Shimin looked like he was good to you, and he was grateful: "I will explain the ...... of Honglu Temple"

Chen Zhengtai was very grateful and said: "Erchen has been so loved by His Majesty, I really don't know what to say." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Do your business well, you know it in your heart, I ...... I expect a lot from you. ”

But isn't it, just waiting for the new army to have some achievements, expand the new army in the future, and when the time is ripe, we will be ready to close the door and fight the dogs.

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly nodded: "Huh." ”

After getting the holy decree, Chen Zhengtai left the palace happily.

When he returned home, he soon invited Xuanzang to him, but he sighed.

When Xuanzang saw him like this, his heart was fiery, and he was immediately extinguished: "Korean Gong...... Don't...... Your Majesty is not allowed? ”

"Yes, yes." Chen Zhengtai sighed: "It's just ...... Hey, that's a long story, but it's just ...... Your Majesty blamed me fiercely, saying that I was a dignified and honest man, and I went to meet him for the trivial matters of a district monk, and His Majesty was busy with government affairs every day, and I was heartbroken for the sake of the people of the world, but I disturbed him for such trivial matters, hey...... His Majesty's harsh reprimand made me, a subordinate, really worse than death, and I felt ashamed and uncomfortable. ”

Xuanzang: "......"

Chen Zhengtai cheered up and continued: "Seeing this scene, I have to say, in fact, the senior monk is a distant relative of our Chen family, according to the generation, you have to call me brother, Your Majesty's face is better, and I see...... is not only interceding for my relatives, but also showing that I am a person with a heart, so I don't scold too much. Now that I have spoken to this in front of His Majesty, you must remember that when you go to Honglu Temple to receive the documents, you must bite to death, saying that you are from the Mengjin Chen family, but my little brother, no matter who doubts it, you will bite to death. ”

Xuanzang: "......"

Although this Xuanzang is a person outside the square, he can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head, even if he and Chen Zhengtai are relatives, according to their generation, they can be his uncle or his nephew, but with the age of the two, they don't look like they are his distant brothers.

Can the people of Honglu Temple believe it?

But Chen Zhengtai said it to this point, could it be that the dignified Korean public would deliberately make a fool of himself in this matter?

At this time, it is important to think about seeking the true scriptures, or not to make extraneous branches.

So Xuanzang said: "Everything depends on the Korean public...... No, according to Brother Chen. ”

Chen Zhengtai nodded, and then asked, "I don't know how you plan to go to the Western Regions, and where is your destination?" ”

When Xuanzang heard this, he talked eloquently, he had been to the Western Regions before, of course, he did not continue to travel west, but he was familiar with the geography of the Western Regions.

This is his second trip, so he has a big heart, and he wants to pass directly from the Western Regions to Afghanistan and then south into the Indian subcontinent.

It's a scary journey.

Of course, Xuanzang in history did arrive in India, which is now Tianzhu.

Chen Zhengtai had to admire Xuanzang's courage, anyway, it was himself, let alone now, even if it was more than a thousand years later, he would not dare to go there alone, after all, with his handsome appearance, there is a possibility that the chrysanthemum will not be guaranteed.

Then Chen Zhengtai asked again: "When do you plan to make the trip?" ”

Xuanzang said: "The sooner the better." ”

Chen Zhengtai thought for a while, and then said: "Then the day after tomorrow, I will arrange it well tomorrow." ”

Xuanzang saluted again, looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "It's really too hard Brother Chen." ”

There is His Majesty's will, and Chen Zhengtai's care, so everything is going well, when Xuanzang went to Honglu Temple to receive the pass, Honglu Temple was very polite, two days later, he came to Chen's house to resign, but heard that Chen Zhengtai had gone to the army.

It's just that at this time, there are hundreds of big men surrounding him, and the carriages and horses are ready, and there are more than 100 cars.

However, this group of big men were all sad, and the leader came to greet Xuanzang: "Uncle ......"

Xuanzang was shocked for a while: "You are ......"

This man said: "I am Chen Aixiang, on the order of Uncle Zhengtai, to protect you on your journey west, in terms of seniority, I am your nephew." ”

Xuanzang looked at him carefully and said, "You...... Not a monk? ”

"Now yes, it is said that I will be a monk for a few years, and when I come back, I will return to the layman." This Chen Aixiang wanted to die at the thought of going to the Western Regions, but Chen Zhengtai gave him two choices, one was to go to the Western Regions, and then come back to take charge of the party's business. The other is that if you die in Juxian County to mine, don't come back in this life.

This is the order of the head of the house, and there will be no third choice in the future.

After thinking about it, Chen Aixiang finally felt that the first choice was more fragrant.

Xuanzang: "......"

He looked at these big men, all of them had horizontal faces, strong bodies, and his heart was suddenly a little unsteady, and he asked another person: "You...... What do you do? ”

The man was covered in muscles, holding the general's belly, and said, "What do you think I look like?" ”

"The poor monk doesn't want to guess."

"You see me like this, and you know that I am a monk, of course, before I became a monk, I was a miner."

Xuanzang: "......"

He glanced at another person: "You are ......"

The man said politely, "The one who made the hole." ”

Xuanzang: "......"

The man patiently explained: "It's not the kind of digging people's ancestral graves, it's specifically for mineral exploration." ”

"You all go west with me?"

"Of course." Previously, Chen Aixiang said: "It's not too early, on the way, we are all on the order of the Han Gong, and we will go with you to seek the true scriptures, you see, we are also monks, monks who are serious about the eight classics, don't doubt ......"

Xuanzang couldn't help but want to complain about something.

But then he became cautious again, saying that no matter what he said, the monks should not speak ill of him.

Besides, these are all the people arranged for him by the Korean government, so it is even more difficult for him to say anything.

So he had no choice but to get into the car silently, and the coachman who drove him also shaved his head, and kept scolding the mother who pulled the carriage and horses...... It seems to be repairing railroad tracks.

Xuanzang was here, the car had just begun to move, and suddenly the whole carriage was ping-pong, and the sonorous sound was endless.

Xuanzang was frightened and hurriedly said, "Stop, stop." ”

The coachman turned around and grinned, "What's wrong?" ”

"What's going on in the car?"

"What's going on?"

It's hard to communicate with this person.

Fortunately, Chen Aixiang came from the other side with a look of apology: "I'm really sorry, these dog things, things are wrong, Li Si, Zhao Er, you two bastards, didn't you say don't put the guy in the monk's car?" If you want to load other cars, this is a monk, what does it mean that there are so many guys hidden in the mezzanine of his car? ”

So the people on the other side, busy with a hard head, looked silent, first asked Xuanzang to get off the car, and then uncovered the compartment cover of the carriage, took out a sword and musket with a bright handle, and muttered: "The mezzanine of other cars is also full, and Master Xuanzang's place is empty......"

"Dare to talk back." Chen Aixiang sat on the horse and scolded: "Straight to your mother!" ”

A few people didn't dare to make a sound anymore, and they hid in the back car with two bundles of swords in their hands.

Chen Aixiang put on her smile again, and when she saw Xuanzang's frightened appearance, she said: "Oh, these people just don't know the rules, uncle, don't be angry, next time they dare, I will beat them to death." ”

Xuanzang smiled: "Amitabha." ”

In the crowd, I don't know who whispered: "Tuo bird." ”

Xuanzang pretended not to hear.

Then I got in the car again.

A person like Xuanzang, who can travel thousands of miles several times, cross the desert, have no companions, endure countless pain and suffering, and still complete his goal, is a person of great wisdom and courage.

He has great endurance and an unparalleled will, and he only has his goal in mind, and as for the other subsections, he does not pay attention to them.

Get on the car, pull out, the mighty team, go farther and farther.

At this time, at the other end, Chen Zhengtai was in the army, watching the infantry battalion drill, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.

In fact, he really wanted to send one to Xuanzang.

This is a legendary figure, this farewell, may not be seen in a lifetime, the road to the west is extremely dangerous, can be described as nine deaths. Even if one day, they return safely, it will be a few years later, and I am afraid that it will be a long time ago.

It's just that...... Chen Zhengtai felt that such a farewell might be a little embarrassing, but it was still ...... It's okay not to see it, there is no farewell, there is no sadness to say goodbye!

In fact, he doesn't like monks, because monks like to create a paradise, but that heaven is floating in the sky, in Chen Zhengtai's opinion, this is unrealistic!

He hopes to build a better world, of course, this earthly world is no match for the fantasy paradise created by the illusion, but it is very real, it is rooted in the earth, and more people can enjoy it in this life.
