Another point is that the surrounding countries are actually very curious about Datang, what is the interior of Datang? What kind of person is His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? The most important thing is, does Datang welcome these crooked nuts?

After several countries decided to go to Datang to participate in the competition, they also began to consider whether to send some spies to Datang to have a look, and there are also some big nobles, they are also full of yearning for Datang, and it seems to be a good choice to take a look at this competition. Vertices are updated the fastest

Then there are those businessmen, Datang is going to hold a world polo tournament, what is more interesting to businessmen, so these businessmen have found their spokespeople and asked to participate in this grand event.

For this reason, the kings and lords of various countries have found the so-called Datang envoys and asked them if they can send a delegation to Datang with the team.

And the reply they got was surprisingly consistent, that is, you can send as many people as you want, as long as you don't go to Datang to do things, Datang welcomes them.

After such communication, businessmen from all over the world were overjoyed and began to pack up and prepare for departure.

After all, Datang is too far away, and it is impossible to reach Chang'an in less than a year and a half from the border to Datang, and polo always needs to be trained, and strive to select the best person in this way, otherwise it would be a joke if he was beaten out of the game in three or two hits in Datang.

Then there is a group of scholars from various countries, and the purpose of this group of people is very simple, that is, to admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past, they didn't have the opportunity to go to Datang, after all, the road is high and long, who knows if there will be any problems on the road, and people who are as persistent as the monks of the Tang Dynasty are in the minority after all.

Therefore, when they heard that there was an opportunity to go to Datang, and that it was a large group of people traveling together, scholars from various countries also made a fuss and wrote letters asking to join this trip to Datang.

The kings of various countries were also a little passive in response to such requests from scholars, and had to summon the envoys of the Tang Dynasty again to ask if the scholars could also participate, and the answer they received was the same as last time: as long as it is a person, and it is okay not to bring weapons, the number of people is not limited, and the Tang Dynasty is not short of that little food!

After this reply, all the kings of all countries were relieved, and the procession of traveling expanded again, and all merchants, scholars, nobles, and royal families were crammed into the procession.

As a result, when it was time to set off at the end, the lords of various countries found that their own capitals were half empty, and almost half of the ministers had joined the team to travel to Datang.

This made the original team of only a few hundred people suddenly grow to tens of thousands of nearly 10,000 people, and if you add the escort team, the number of people is close to the 20,000 mark, and people who don't know still think that they are going to war.

……

On the other side of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang, who was praised by everyone, was about to be driven crazy.

After the group of god-killing soldiers and ruffians learned that he had specially gone to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, their brains were pumped out of some way, and they transported those Tianzhu Buddhist scriptures back one by one.

The old monk Xuanzang is now not to mention translating scriptures, even building a house and loading scriptures can't keep up with the rhythm of those soldiers and ruffians transporting them back, and he is already about to fill the eighteenth warehouse.

Therefore, the daily task of the old monks is to lead people to identify whether there are duplicates of those scriptures, and if so, to identify which one is genuine and which one is a copy.

After all, the scriptures transported back from Tianzhu are all in Sanskrit, and you can't expect those big-headed soldiers who can't even recognize their own names to be able to distinguish whether there is duplication or not.

In addition to identifying the scriptures, and then the translation, the old monk is basically no longer engaged in translation work, and there are a large number of Tianzhu monks under him, these monks after learning Chinese, the most important thing every day is to translate Buddhist scriptures, and when the translation is complete, they will be shown to Xuanzang, and if they are not qualified, they will be re-translated.

But even so, Xuanzang is still very busy, after all, there are too many Buddhist scriptures, so many that they are too many to count, even if they are all read, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years, and the translation is even more time-consuming.

In the end, the old monk really had no choice, so he rushed into the palace to find Li Chengqian.

"Why is the master so free today? You don't translate the scriptures anymore? Li Chengqian showed strong curiosity about Xuanzang's arrival, and specially ordered someone to prepare a table of vegetarian dishes to entertain him.

It's just that Xuanzang was in the mood to eat something at this time, looked at the dishes on the table and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the old monk has something to ask for, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

"Well, you say, if it's not a big deal, I can agree to your request." Li Chengqian didn't know what Xuanzang wanted to do, but for the sake of the old monk's persistence, he still nodded.

When Xuanzang saw Li Chengqian nodding, he was immediately overjoyed, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, can you order General Wei Chi not to transport the scriptures back again?" ”

"What? Scriptures? What scriptures? Li Chengqian was confused by what Xuanzang said.

He is now the supreme ruler of the Tang Empire, and things like transporting some scriptures from Tianzhu back to China are not worth mentioning to him at all, if Xuanzang doesn't say it, he doesn't know anything at all.

Xuanzang saw that Li Chengqian's expression did not seem to be a fake, so he smiled bitterly and said what had happened recently, and emphasized at the end: "Your Majesty, the old monk went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures just to find some scriptures that I didn't have in the Tang Dynasty, but it was too ...... to sweep away indiscriminately like General Wei Chi It's too much, because of his blind behavior, the price of Tianzhu paper has tripled. ”

Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed by the old monk's words, and smiled: "Uh......, I really don't know much about this problem, you think otherwise, I will write a letter to Baoqi and ask the next group of people who will deliver supplies to him, how about it?" ”

Hearing that Li Chengqian promised to persuade Yu Chi Baoqi, Xuanzang let out a long breath, got up and saluted: "The old monk thanked Your Majesty!" ”

"The master has said it, this matter is also my failure to investigate." Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal that Xuanzang didn't have to be polite, and then as if he thought of something, Zhengse asked him: "By the way, master, if you don't have anything to do during this time, let's go to Tianzhu Dao." ”

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Xuanzang was a little confused about what Li Chengqian wanted to do, so he asked puzzled.

"Well, it's a long story, and you'll know when you get there." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Alright then, the old monk obeys His Majesty's arrangement." When Monk Xuanzang saw Li Chengqian's mysterious appearance, he also knew that he had asked Bai Qian, so he simply nodded and agreed to his request.

As the so-called boat to the bridge is naturally straight, anyway, it won't waste much time to go to Tianzhu Road now, I believe that the bottom of the mystery should be revealed when it arrives in Tianzhu!
