Chapter 499: Meeting Chen Xuanzang Again (4)

Chen Xuanzang wondered in his heart why Li Jiancheng wanted to introduce the Qilin Secret Guard to himself. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info you must know that the Qilin Secret Guard is not a good thing in public opinion, looking at Chen Xuanzang's face, Li Jiancheng seems to know Chen Xuanzang's thoughts. Li Jiancheng also knows that among the people, since the Qilin Secret Guard was changed from a secret guard to a bright guard by Li Jiancheng, public opinion has described the Qilin Secret Guard as a monster with red eyebrows and green eyes. The Dugu family, the Dou family and other representatives of Li Yuan's matrilineal wives and relatives have secretly written to Li Yuan, saying that the Qilin secret guard snooped on the privacy of hundreds of officials and secretly inserted secret stakes into the mansions of hundreds of officials. Li Yuan also inquired about Li Jiancheng for this. was perfunctory by Li Jiancheng and went back. And Zheng Yuancong and Yang Shidao also cried loudly in front of Zheng Wanzhen and Yang Yan, and the Qilin secret guard had the holy virtue of Li Jiancheng, and was pushed back by Li Jiancheng in the name of not being allowed to interfere in politics in the harem. The nobles in the Luoyang area of Chang'an did not dare to explicitly oppose the Qilin Secret Guard, so they secretly bribed the folk down-and-out literati, compiled articles, and smeared the Qilin Secret Guard, in a vain attempt to force Li Jiancheng to make concessions with the guidance of public opinion, but Li Jiancheng pretended to be deaf and dumb about this, because the lines in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, Li Jiancheng was deeply imprinted in his heart - during the Battle of Chibi, all the civil officials in Jiangdong hoped that Sun Quan would surrender, but Lu Su said to Sun Quan: "The minister can surrender, but the monarch cannot surrender." Because after the minister surrenders, he can still be a high-ranking official, and after the monarch surrenders, he is no more than a marquis, a car is no more than a ride, a horse is only a ride, and there are no more than a few people. It can also be killed by suspicion at any time. "How much philosophy is in this - the minister and the monarch are always opposites. The world is the home of the monarch, and the ministers are only to help the monarch govern the world. If the world is prosperous, the minister may not be able to get benefits, and if the world is defeated, this pot will naturally be carried by the faint king. Aren't the former emperor Yang Guang and the later Ming Dynasty Chongzhen good examples? wants Li Jiancheng to break his wings, delusional. Therefore, after the common people heard about the Qilin Secret Guard, they naturally changed their color when they heard about the Qilin Secret Guard. Li Jiancheng is also understandable.

"What? Master, are you feeling unwell? Chen Xuanzang didn't speak. Li Jiancheng asked Chen Xuanzang:

"Master! I have one thing I want to ask the Master! ”

"Holy Lord, please ask!"

"Master! Just yesterday, a big event told me that I was saving lives and hurting lives! So may I ask the master, what is the life-saving strategy now, and how to save lives! Chen Xuanzang said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty! The poor monk thought that since he wanted to save his life, he needed to calm the war and rest with the people! and to rest the souls of the dead in the world, and to calm the wars and chaos of the world. ”

"Ahh The master is really compassionate, but I don't know how the master wants to rest with the people in his heart! And that the souls of the dead of the world may rest in peace, and that the wars of the world may be pacified? Chen Xuanzang knelt down to Li Jiancheng and replied:

"Your Majesty, the poor monk asks His Majesty to develop a customs clearance disc, let the poor monk go out of the customs, go to Tianzhu, look for the true works of the Buddha, and then the sky will descend to the law, and the world will be peaceful!" In the Tang Dynasty, the population in the interior of the Central Plains was not allowed to move casually, if you want to go out of the city, you must go to the government to apply for road guidance, otherwise it is to migrate without permission, to be sentenced to a heavy sentence, if you want to go out of the customs, you must have a customs disc, if not, go out of the customs privately, the light ones will be cut off their hands and feet, and the heavy ones will be beheaded to show the public. Li Jiancheng said with a smile:

"Master Xuanzang, the master and I really want to go together. I'll give you the paperwork, but you'll have to do something for me. Li Jiancheng took Di Renjie and Chen Xuanzang to a palace wall, to be exact, a military map showing the distribution of the two eastern and western Turkic tribes, as well as the distribution maps of the Huifu tribes, Tuyuhun and the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.

"Your Majesty, don't you want the poor monks to have some special mission?!" Li Jiancheng said with a smile:

"Hahaha! The master is really smart! Chen Xuanzang looked embarrassed:

"Your Majesty, the poor monk is a monk, for the monks, anyone in the world is a living being, and the monks have never been in contact with the world's mundane affairs, please forgive your Majesty."

"Humph! Is it? The master is truly merciful, but I have a question in my heart? Since Buddhism pays attention to compassion, why does Buddhism still have the Dharma Protector Vajra? And the ability to subdue demons? Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Xuanzang. Chen Xuanzang didn't speak, and Li Jiancheng signaled to Di Renjie:

"Huaiying! Go and fold the stack to Master Xuanzang and read it. Di Renjie obeyed Li Jiancheng's will, picked up the stack of folds, and read it to Chen Xuanzang:

"Since the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was besieged by the Turkic Shibi Khan in Yanmen Pass, invaded every year, only eight years of the Great Cause, the Turks invaded Longxi, killed a captain of Longxi, thousands of soldiers, plundered countless cattle and sheep, and thousands of people. In the ninth year of the Great Cause, the Turks invaded Mayi, killed the Taishou of Mayi, thousands of soldiers, and slaughtered the city. Plundered the people by no less than 10,000 people. In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, the Turkic Shibi Khan invaded Yan'an and robbed 20,000 stone of grain. Since I have been in Dingdingguan, the Turks have invaded every year, attacked our Hedong and Longxi territories, killed more than 10,000 soldiers, plundered tens of thousands of young and strong men and women, and killed 13 captains and 1 border general. Bian Ling Taishou and the two ...... "Before Di Renjie finished speaking, Chen Xuanzang had already collapsed:

"Don't say it, please don't say it."

"Master? Through these twists and turns, do you still think that those Turkic steppe people are still people? They are just a bunch of devils on the steppe. Therefore, I decided to follow the example of the two Han Dynasty to deal with the Huns, and contact the 36 countries of the Western Regions and the tribes of Tuyuhun and Hui, you must know that the 36 countries of the Western Regions and the tribes of Tuyuhun and Huifu have been enslaved by the Turks for many years, and when the time comes, I will work with them to deal with the Turks, and I will also rescue them from the clutches of the Turks! Chen Xuanzang said in his heart - the Turks are brutal and unkind, but will you Li Jiancheng stop when the time comes, and after eliminating the Turks, will you not be the king and hegemon. Chen Xuanzang suddenly remembered that when he had just been ordained before, once, when he was studying the scriptures, Chen Xuanzang asked his master:

"Master, the disciple has a question that I don't know? I want to ask the master to solve my doubts! ”

"Oh! Xuanzang, say it! ”

"Is the Buddha Shakyamuni in the world the great or the Son of Heaven in the world?"

"Xuanzang, what do you say?"

"The disciple thinks that since we are monks, then we should be the Buddha Shakyamuni!" Chen Xuanzang's master said:

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Xuanzang, this is the biggest obstacle in the world, and it is the biggest obstacle in the world! Do you still remember the story of Emperor Wu of Liang who became a monk and then forbade Buddhist disciples to eat meat? Chen Xuanzang nodded.

"Since the emperor is the son of heaven, and everything on earth is nourished by heaven, then we naturally cannot offend the son of heaven, although the Buddhism is vast, but it is difficult to defeat the king's law!" Chen Xuanzang continued to ask:

"Master, if the Son of Heaven's decree conflicts with the Buddha's decree, will the disciple listen to the Divine decree or the Buddha's decree?" Chen Xuanzang's master did not answer. Now, Chen Xuanzang himself is facing this problem, and Chen Xuanzang himself is a little at a loss. At this time, Li Jiancheng's voice sounded again:

"Master Xuanzang, do you remember your words? Saving lives is also hurting, Master Xuanzang, do you want to save lives or hurt lives? The choice is yours, masters! Li Jiancheng said, pointing to a document on the dragon case with his finger. Chen Xuanzang understands that that is what he wants - customs clearance documents.

'Injury, life-saving, life-saving, life-saving, life Chen Xuanzang's heart was tormented. At this time, Chen Xuanzang recalled in his heart the scene when he consulted with Polo Po Ka Luo Mi Dora about the Buddhist legal code, but consulting with Po Po Jia Luo Mi Doro about the Buddhist law code did not allow Chen Xuanzang to solve the doubts about whether sentient beings have Buddha nature. The thought of wanting to go to Tianzhu immediately filled my heart. Chen Xuanzang stretched out his trembling hand and picked up the customs clearance book. Li Jiancheng was very happy:

"Master Xuanzang, I am very happy today, and I have another reluctant invitation! I hope the master will be perfect! "Chen Xuanzang doesn't know what Li Jiancheng wants to fulfill himself? Li Jiancheng replied with an ignorant face:

"Your Majesty, the poor monk has nothing to do, I don't know what the Holy Lord wants the poor monk to accomplish?" Li Jiancheng suddenly knelt in front of Chen Xuanzang, and suddenly scared Chen Xuanzang and Di Renjie half to death, and Chen Xuanzang and Di Renjie immediately knelt down:

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here? The poor monk can't afford it! Li Jiancheng grabbed Chen Xuanzang and Di Renjie's hands and said:

"Master Xuanzang, a conversation with Master Xuanzang is better than reading a book for ten years! I want to be a brother to you, Master! Huaiying, you come to be a witness! As soon as Li Jiancheng's words fell, Chen Xuanzang and Di Renjie were already in a daze, and Di Renjie said in his heart - what, His Majesty the Emperor wants to worship a monk as a brother, this is simply incredible! And Chen Xuanzang's heart is even more inexplicably excited, but there is also a trace of inexplicable worry - it is His Majesty the Emperor who wants to worship him, although this sentence does not sound like true, but after all, it is a kind of grace, thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun's grace! In addition, at the beginning, his own preacher also told himself that the Son of Heaven was the master of the world. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is going to tie himself completely to his boat.

"Master Xuanzang, please give me this opportunity. Please! Chen Xuanzang was entangled by Li Jiancheng and had no choice, so he had to promise Li Jiancheng and bow to Li Jiancheng:

"The yellow sky is above, the earth is below, and I am the Tang Emperor Li Jiancheng. Today, I would like to be brothers with Master Xuanzang. I swear to this here and never fail each other. ”

"The yellow sky is above, the earth is below, the poor monk Xuanzang, a monk of the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, is willing to be a brother with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty today, and now he swears that he will never lose each other." When Li Jiancheng and Chen Xuanzang finished their vows, Li Jiancheng and Chen Xuanzang wrote their birthdays on the red paper and threw them into the brazier.

"Brother Xian, please get up!" Chen Xuanzang was so frightened that he almost knelt down again:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, don't be like this, don't ......be like this," Li Jiancheng said to Chen Xuanzang:

"Brother Xian, now that you have become the royal brother of my Tang Dynasty, you must remember that you would rather be nostalgic for a grain of soil in your homeland than for ten thousand taels of gold in another country!" Chen Xuanzang nodded. After Chen Xuanzang got Li Jiancheng's permission, he began to travel west. On the way, pass through Lanzhou to Liangzhou (Guzang), follow the day and night, to Guazhou, and then pass through Yumen Pass, cross Wufeng, cross the quicksand, prepare for hardships, and arrive at Yiwu (Hami), to Gaochang (now Turpan County, Xinjiang). Received the courtesy of Gaochang King Ko Wentai. Later, it passed through Quzhi (now Kuqa, Xinjiang), Lingshan (Yemsul Ridge), Broken Leaf City, Kabi Trial State, Chi Jianguo (Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan), Sa Mo Jianguo (now east of Samarkand City), Green Ridge, and Tiemen. Arrive at the hometown of the country of Luoluo (now the west of the green ridge and the south of the Wuhu River). It traveled more than 13,800 miles to the country of Kashmir (present-day Kashmir) through the country of Bondage (present-day Balkh in northern Afghanistan), the country of Jiezhi (present-day Ghaz in Afghanistan), the Great Snow Mountain, the country of Brahmana (present-day Bamiyan in Afghanistan), the country of Gandhara (present-day Peshawar in Pakistan and its adjacent eastern part of Afghanistan), and the country of Uvana (the Swat region of Pakistan), and arrived at the country of Kashmir (present-day Kashmir). After returning to China, Xuanzang and his disciples translated a total of 75 Buddhist scriptures and 1,335 volumes. Xuanzang's translations include "The Great Prajna Sutra", "Heart Sutra", "Interpretation of the Profound Secret Sutra", "The Theory of the Yogi Master", "The Theory of Enlightenment" and so on. He also compiled 12 volumes of "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", describing the mountains, rivers, places, products, and customs of 110 countries and 28 countries that Chen Xuanzang personally experienced during his journey to the west. Later, it was included in the national library by Li Jiancheng.
