Chapter 30: Raise volunteers to secretly contact and receive generous gifts again in the country (II)
In this luxurious palace hall, the king of the kingdom of Yulu Qinna led Wang Xuance down the royal steps of the main hall, and as the red silk covering this treasure was brushed away, four national treasures with deep meanings were displayed in front of them.
I saw that this first piece was a vivid and vivid rhinoceros agate cup. It is about six inches long and more than two inches high, which is not only crystal clear, but also exquisite.
And this second piece is a silver kettle. It is about one foot high, five inches wide in the abdomen, and a delicate elephant is carved on the belly of the silver pot, this silver pot is made of a whole piece of silver, and there is no connection at all, so it is quite elegant and rare......
The third thing is: a tin rod. It is about two meters long, and the whole body is lined with twigs and vines, and seven famous monks are engraved on it. I saw these seven monks, all holding the Dharma bell standing on the lotus platform, not only simple and cute, but also vivid. The lower end of the tin staff is decorated with vines, clouds and flowers, which is also a rare boutique.
And this fourth piece is: the supreme treasure of Buddhism, ten relics. Each one is the size of a grain of rice, and is mainly red, yellow and white......
In the face of such a supreme national gift, everyone was surprised and delighted. I am glad that this supreme treasure of Buddhism can flow into the Tang Dynasty through this, and I am surprised that I don't know whether these national gifts should be accepted or not......
I only listened to the king of this country of Lu Qinna to these national treasures, and explained to them in detail: "This first thing is from Persia, although I also like it a lot, but giving it to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can better reflect my sincerity."
This second piece, also by the hands of Persian craftsmen, has been collected in our palace for many years, so it was also presented to His Majesty the Emperor.
This third item is a remnant of the eminent monks of Emperor Ashoka, and because Buddhism is dying out in our country, it is not of much use to keep it. The Tang Dynasty is also a country that advocates Buddhism, and I would like to take this opportunity to present it to your country.
This fourth piece is also the Ashoka period, which is divided into the Buddha's true body relics in our country; With the dilapidated Buddhist temple, it is also in the palace, so it is also a gift to your country."
Although Wang Xuance excused himself, he looked at such a sincere treasure and the king's sincere words, so he said very gratefully: "For the prosperity of Buddhism, for the sake of the people of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance on behalf of my His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as well as thousands of believers in the Tang Dynasty, thank the king" said, and took a long ......
With the end of this national gift. But seeing the king of this country of Lu Qinna, he warmly invited Wang Xuance and others to go to the state banquet that had been prepared for a long time. The group still concluded a friendly covenant between the two countries in such a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.
With the harmony of the atmosphere, they talked about the trade, the trade routes; So a grand idea was reached between the banquets, that is, the southern extension of the Tang Fan Road, which extended to this country of Lu Qinna. Thus, a trade route full of peace, a messenger of peace on his shoulders, thus raised the trade between the two countries to a new level.
In this way, the trade between Datang and the five Indias flourished with the achievement of the intention......
Wang Xuance and others then built a bridge of friendship on the land of the five Indians!
In the face of this period of time, they were quite pleased with the results, and Wang Xuance and others were also very relieved. Therefore, in this country of Lu Qinna, I stayed and played for a little longer, which can be regarded as a little relaxation. After they learned about the customs and customs of this country, the group said goodbye to the king of the country, followed the footsteps of the horses, and walked towards the next destination---- the country of Modi Buluo.
Throughout Chinese history, before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, nobles and common people were naturally distinct, and most official positions were hereditary. The nobleman gives birth to a child, and the woman who beats the mother's womb is a nobleman; And the children born to the common people are basically still the common people.
However, since the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their arms, and the feat of the first peasant uprising in the land of China was born. The princely general Xiangning has a kind of famous sentence for the ages, which is even more resounding, arousing the unprecedented enthusiasm of the common people for equality.
Having said all this, I just want to explain one thing, there is such a feat in the five Indias, and there is also such a figure!
Wang Xuance and the others walked eastward for two days, and after crossing the Yanmu River, they arrived at the boundary of the Modi Buluo country. Chen Maocai still took out this "Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" from the pocket on horseback, carefully turned to the chapter of the Luo Kingdom at the bottom of the straw, cleared his throat and wanted to criticize everyone about the customs and customs of this country. At this time, Zhou Zeng was taken by surprise and snatched the Tang Western Regions in Chen Maocai's hands.
"What, don't criticize it today, I'll tell the big guy the story of this country!" Zhou Zeng, who was very arrogant, looked like an old pedant, and said to Chen Maocai seriously!
Chen Maocai looked at his empty hands, and then looked at Zhou Zeng, who was watching with great interest, and was about to snatch it back, but when Zhou Zeng flashed so smartly, he was thrown into the air......
Although he was very angry, he didn't bother to argue with him anymore, so he said a little generously: "Come on, come on, let it be given to you, tell the big guy about it, lest your kid be very lonely every day!" Watching this scene, Xiao Liu, who often watches jokes next to him, still giggles happily!
So Zhou Zeng looked at Chen Maocai quite proudly, and also learned from him, cleared his throat and said: "This Modi Buluo Country has a radius of more than 6,000 miles, which is the same size as the country of Lu Qin. The national capital is also quite similar, it is also a radius of more than 20 miles, suitable for growing wheat, and there are many flowers and fruits. Oh, what are you doing with this Master Xuanzang writing so much? What flowers, what fruits I haven't written, isn't this an appetite for me? In a word, everyone laughed!
"Eat so big and three coarse, you know how to eat every day, you, you can do it less, read it!" Chen Maocai said with contempt in a sarcastic tone. The humorous Xiaoliu is still giggling in the back.
"Can you manage it" After Zhou Zeng replied to Chen Maocai, he caught a glimpse of this smirking Xiaoliu, so he said again: "Okay, you Xiaoliu, you always eat inside and out, and your elbow is turned out, I really regret taking you out, alas, ......" said, patting his head with a book again and again, this beat, the Xiaoliu and everyone laughed even happier...... The sky above the Datang Mission was filled with this relaxed atmosphere......
Wang Xuance, who is quite cold-minded every time, only laughed when they were arguing. However, today he said to Zhou Zeng: "Quick, look, what else Master Xuanzang said"
What else was said? Please see the next ......
Quick Facts: The country of Modi Bura, one of the ancient kingdoms of ancient India, the king at this time was the Shudra caste, that is, the lowest caste in India. The records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty are clear and clear......
