Chapter 14: The Atmosphere of the Second Envoy is Harmonious and the Friendship is Strong (Part I)

After more than a month of packing up and preparation, Wang Xuance and Zhou Chen have already packed up everything. And he also deliberately selected thirty strong brothers from Zuo Xiaowei's mansion, led a hundred sturdy Qinghai horses, carried the Buddha and the national gifts, and set off again from this Chang'an City......

Although it is only early autumn, there is already a mottled sense of gloom on this majestic Wuling Plain. This is not only a long way, but also an endless hardship. But seeing the parting pavilion of Wuling Yuan in the autumn wind, Master Xuanzang still came to see them off in person as last time.

Over the years, looking at this Chang'an City, only this Master Xuanzang is his bosom friend, not only can talk, but also can communicate with each other. Although he also summoned Empress Wu to him alone, he explained to Master Xuanzang in detail. But after seeing Master Xuanzang, after thinking about it worriedly, only one sentence was left: Adhering to good thoughts, the Buddha will return to him; With malice, the Buddha destroys himself.

Wang Xuance also knew the weight of the mage's words; Therefore, even if you can't get it, you won't kill, let alone careless of human life. A plain and indifferent mission, even if he didn't get anything on this journey, that's fine, even if he returns and breaks his bones, he is worthy of this heart and this thought.

The farewell is still simple and simple, with a little novice, a jar of vegetarian wine, Master Xuanzang himself, stained with these four black glazed wine bowls, with Wang Xuance, and Zhou Chen and the two drank it all.

There are no superfluous words, no affectionate goodbyes, just a feeling of sympathy.

But after seeing this Wang Xuance, leading everyone to step onto this fat and healthy Qinghai Cheng, he immediately turned his head and waved his hand to Master Xuanzang, saying goodbye......

Every time, the collision of Eastern and Western cultures has not only led to greater exchanges, but also brought about changes in people's lives; With the introduction of sugar technology, Datang's sugar industry has become increasingly prosperous.

With the introduction of onions, loofahs, mustard and spinach, the dietary structure of the Tang people has gradually changed, and all this credit should be attributed to Wang Xuance's many envoys.

With the introduction of papermaking technology to India for the first time, the Indians gradually changed the history of using this Bayeux Sutra as a writing carrier. These are the benefits and results of cultural exchange......

Of course, this back is still so majestic and upright this time; At the same time, this back will not disappoint the Datang people, let alone upset the later generations. This background is not only the beginning and testimony of the 1,300-year history of official exchanges between China and India, but also the beginning and care of the friendship between the two peoples.

Along the Xiongguan Ancient Road with camel bells, wandering in the busy Hexi Corridor, crossing the snowy plateau where Tuyuhun still adheres to it, and walking on the endless Tangbo Ancient Road, everything is so prosperous and rich, and everything is so orderly and orderly.

More than a month has passed......

"Big brother, this Tangfan Ancient Road, I didn't expect it to be so prosperous, I still remember when we sent Princess Wencheng to marry Tubo, this path was still a sheep's intestine path, and now it has become so wide and flat." Chen Maocai said while eating brown sugar cubes. Since this second envoy to Wuyin brought this sugar-making technology back to Datang, he has been like this. I often have a few brown sugar cubes in my pocket, and I stuff one when I'm fine, which looks beautiful and proud. No, this time the envoy specially prepared a little more.

"You kid, don't you eat candy again, give me one." Zhou Zeng didn't say a word, he stretched out his hand, ready to grab one.

"Don't give it, who let you kid, don't prepare more when you leave" Chen Maocai flashed immediately, and didn't let him grab it.

Seeing that the two of them started to quarrel again, but seeing that this little six was behind him and said, "Senior brother, give" As he spoke, he casually handed Zhou Zeng a candy cube.

By now, this little six has grown into a guy in his twenties. Originally, Wang Xuance specially asked Zhou Zeng to find this little six in the mission this time. However, in view of the fact that his seventy-year-old mother was already old, and the mission of this mission could not come back in a year and a half, he refused. But this old lady, when she heard that it was the envoy to these five Indias. Then he said such words to Xiao Liu: "Wang Changshi has always been good to our family, and this time he has been on the mission of His Majesty and Niangniang, who went to these five India to worship the Buddha, you already have the experience of this envoy, and you should help them more this time; On the one hand, it is also to help my mother come to the hometown of the Buddha and pay respects; On the other hand, it can be regarded as repaying the grace of this encounter. ”

So, this little six, unable to resist the repeated persuasion of this old lady, can only entrust the old lady to the master Li Jin, and Zhou Zeng's daughter-in-law Xiao Cui'er, with their good care......

"Okay, you're a little six, this is always helping you, a senior brother," Chen Maocai still glanced at them with relaxed contempt.

"Who made the two of us brothers" Zhou Zeng replied to his words while laughing, and stuffed the brown sugar cube into his mouth......

Wang Xuance, looking at the laughter along the way, was also quite relaxed. I heard that this Chen Maocai just mentioned this Princess Wencheng. Suddenly, her figure involuntarily appeared in my mind.

After all, I haven't seen the princess for ten years. Are you okay in Tubo all these years?

Seven years ago, the untimely death of Songtsen Gampo not only made the princess very sad, but also made the entire Tibetan people heartbroken. The news spread to Chang'an, and the inside and outside of the capital were also shocked, but fortunately, the princess turned the tide, and under the suggestion of Lu Dongzan, she supported the grandson of Songtsan Gampo, the son of Gongsong Gongzan, Mangsong Mangzan, as the thirty-fourth generation of Zanpo of the Tubo State.

The reason why he wants to support this Mangtsen Mangtsen as the Zanpo of the Tubo State is that this Songtsen Gampo has no children under the knees of Princess Wencheng, and his only son Gongsong Gongtsen has died earlier than Songtsen Gampo, so he can only support the only bloodline left by this Songtsen Gampo, that is, the only son of Gongsong Gongtsen, Mangsong Mangzan, as Zanpo.

State affairs, there are Princess Wencheng and Lu Dongzan regents.

"Big brother, what do you want?" Zhou Zeng looked at the thoughtful Wang Xuance and asked casually.

"What can the eldest brother think, I guess I'm thinking about the princess, it's been more than ten years, can you not think about it?" Chen Maocai also secretly added such a sentence. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the Datang Mission was intertwined to the top.

Wang Xuance also smiled slightly, yes: "Although the princess has controlled the situation in Tibet over the years, I don't know how she is doing?" ”

Editor's note: Many people ask why they didn't write the two together, but that's the history of the time. A couple of marriages destined to be together, with the dilution of time, can only silently bless each other. This is also the understanding of people's own concept of love in ancient times, after all, the social status of women at that time was not high, even if it was a princess. It's a far cry from the current basis of equality between men and women! So,The hero can only be like this!
