When Shang Liluo heard this, he felt as if he had been beaten with a stick, and he didn't say anything for a while! Since entering the area controlled by the Western Qin army, he has never seen military disasters and man-made disasters, and he has seen a lot of disasters caused by war, so he is accustomed to thinking that hundreds of people must have been slaughtered because of the invasion of the Western Qin army.

Shang Qianluo remembered that he had heard that the Western Qin army had slaughtered the city after breaking through it, and immediately asked, "What Your Majesty said is only afraid that what he said is exaggerated, right?" I heard that when His Majesty's soldiers and horses attacked the city, they slaughtered the city from time to time, and carried out the policy of burning, killing, and robbing the city. ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "The slaughter of the city mentioned by the master is indeed there, but it was not done by my Western Qin army, it was done by the Tianzhu servant army!" Whenever after breaking through the city, my Western Qin army generally does not enter the city, the soldiers of the Tianzhu servant army are violent, and many of them are as fierce as fire, if the king strictly restrains them, they will not die for the king! ”

Isn't this the result of your connivance? Shang Liluo couldn't help but slander in his heart, he couldn't say this, otherwise he would be suspected of questioning, and it was not a wise move for a monk to question a king, and it was even more likely to lose his life.

Shang Luo sighed: "I don't understand, the king's territory is already vast, and the accumulated deeds have covered the world, why do you have to conquer Tianzhu?" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed outside and said, "Isn't what those servants are doing to make the master understand?" Tianzhu is too chaotic, the people of Tianzhu will not be educated, there will be a lot of fierce people, and the situation of countries standing side by side and fighting for years will be formed, such a situation can only cause countless Tianzhu people to die in the war! The master is a person outside the party, and this king is a worldly person, the master's investigation is liberation, is to achieve the realm of 'I am Brahman', and is to let more people know the existence and true meaning of Brahma! And the king's pursuit is to make the whole world not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! The king believed that all the people of the world could only enjoy peace and well-being under the rule of the king, and that no other king had done as well as the king, and that the other kings were only concerned with enjoying the benefits of power, and they did not know that the king's duty was not to enslave his subjects, but to let his subjects live a good life without being bullied by foreign enemies, worry-free food and clothing, and happiness and health! ”

Shang Qianluo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and bowed to Zhao Ziliang in unison: "Your Majesty has the world's heart, lofty ambitions, and great compassion, and is the greatest king I have ever seen!" But does Your Majesty know if the people of Tianzhu are willing to be ruled by Your Majesty? After all, the culture and customs of Western Qin are completely different from those of Tianzhu, and as far as I can see, Your Majesty's southern expedition did not bring happiness to the people of Tianzhu, but brought disaster! ”

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Could it be that there was no disaster in Tianzhu before this king came?" Tianzhu has a vast area, many countries, large and small countries and tribes, and these kingdoms, city-states and tribes have been fighting for many years, making the people of Tianzhu miserable and miserable! What this king wants to do now is to end the chaotic situation of Tianzhu and unify Tianzhu, only a unified Tianzhu can end the war, and the people of Tianzhu can engage in production with peace of mind! And a unified Tianzhu is also good for the development of the master's sect, the people are rich and rich to have the heart to find faith, if they are not well fed and clothed, they will not listen to what you say! As the so-called long pain is better than short pain, pay some generations in a short period of time to end the long-term war, which is good for all people in Tianzhu, and the real loss is only some elite class, if these elite class are willing to surrender, this king can also let them be a rich nobleman forever, just lose their rights, if they must fight against my Western Qin army, then the end in exchange is nothing, and they will lose their lives! Master, this king thinks that you and I can cooperate, you support this king's unification of Tianzhu, and this king's support for the development of your sect! You see, in the past, Buddhism had the support of the Capricorn Kingdom, so Buddhism has long been the largest sect in Tianzhu, but after the fall of the Gupta Dynasty of the Capricorn Kingdom, Buddhism also began to weaken, and a sect that has lost the support of the government has little future! If you insist on going your own way and trying to dissuade this king from giving up the southern expedition, this king can tell you that this is absolutely impossible, even if you have great magical powers, it is impossible! ”

Shang Qiluo sighed: "It seems that my intellect is not enough to convince Your Majesty!" Well, since Your Majesty is bent on continuing the southern expedition, then I will not stop it, and I will not be able to stop it. But I hope that Your Majesty can minimize the killing, if there is anything I can help, Your Majesty can speak, as long as the people of Tianzhu suffer less, I am willing to let Your Majesty drive! ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "That's right!" The top priority is to reduce the resistance of the countries of Nantianzhu, the kingdom of Rashidra and the kingdom of Kalinga are seeking to form an alliance of Nantianzhu to fight against our army, if the master can persuade them to surrender on their own initiative, if not, please also try to persuade some kingdoms, as long as they do not go along with the kingdom of Rashidra and the kingdom of Karinga, this king can guarantee that they just lose power, their glory and wealth can still be retained, they can obtain hereditary titles and retain all the wealth they have now! And the master, you will also get what you need, and after the king sweeps the entire Tianzhu, he will order the master to build the largest and most spectacular temple in the four directions of Tianzhu, southeast, northwest, and north! ”

Shang Liluo folded his hands and said, "Your Majesty has a big heart, great compassion, and the courage to swallow the world, I admire it!" That's it, Your Majesty must know, the king has no jokes! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Of course! ”

When Shang Liluo left, Zhao Ziliang treated him very politely, giving him some horses and chariots, as well as a large number of blank books, for him to transcribe the sect's classics, as well as some coils.

Back in the palace, Dugu asked the vulgar to bow to Zhao Ziliang and said: "King, it is not difficult to conquer Tianzhu, the difficult thing is how to rule Tianzhu, how to make the people of Tianzhu accept our rule, and not reject us!" ”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and nodded: "Lord Dugu is right, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

Dugu asked: "Today, the king met with Shang Karma, a member of the Brahmanical Illusion Sect, and Shang Karma was willing to cooperate with our army to conquer Nantianzhu, which made Wei Chen think of a way. Does the king know what kind of sect the vast majority of people in Zhu believe in today? ”

Zhao Ziliang didn't think about it, and said: "Of course it's Buddhism!" Does this need to be asked? ”

"Yes, Weichen thinks that if the king can get along well with the Tianzhu monks, this will give a strong signal to the people of Tianzhu, and Weichen suggests that the king can meet the monks of Tianzhu!"

Zhao Ziliang thought about Dugu's suggestion for a while, and asked, "Who are the highly respected monks in Tianzhu now?" ”

Dugu asked: "King, as far as Wei Chen knows, the most famous monks in Tianzhu today are Master Padmasambhava and Master Wuyou!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, summon them to see this king!" ”

Dugu asked the vulgar and hurriedly said, "King, I heard that they are now in Nalanda Temple. My Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty has studied Buddhism in Nalanda Temple for five years, Nalanda Temple is the holy place and the highest institution of learning in Tianzhu Buddhism, if the king can come in person, he will be supported by the people of Tianzhu, even if the people who oppose the king's rule in Tianzhu will give up the heart of resistance! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a while, and thought that if he visited Nalanda Temple in person, the political significance was extraordinary, which had an immeasurable effect on stabilizing Tianzhu, and immediately said: "Okay, summon to prepare to go to Nalanda Temple!" ”

Dugu asked the vulgar and immediately said: "Obey the order!" ”

Nalanda Temple was built twenty miles north of the royal palace city of the original Magadha Kingdom, and now the North Tianzhu, East Tianzhu, West Tianzhu and Middle Tianzhu are all under the control of the Western Qin army, and the original Capricorn Kingdom is of course no exception.

More than 300 years ago, the Gupta Dynasty Emperor Ri ordered people to build the Nalanda Temple, the Nalanda Temple is large-scale, there were as many as 9 million volumes of books, the generations of scholars have come out, at the peak of the heyday there are tens of thousands of monks and scholars gathered here, Master Xuanzang has studied here from the apprenticeship Master Jiexian for many years.

On October 15, Zhao Ziliang arrived at Wangshe City, and stayed in Wangshe City that night. Although the monks are all empty and ignore external affairs, if they are still living in this world, they cannot be separated from the world, and people always have to eat grains and grains, and it is inevitable that people will not be able to stand in the world. The monks of Nalanda Temple were very nervous when they learned that Zhao Ziliang was coming, and they didn't know what the purpose of Zhao Ziliang's trip was, after all, there are now seven or eight thousand monks in Nalanda Temple to practice, and all the lives of these people are in the hands of Zhao Ziliang, especially the most famous monks such as Padmasambhava and Wujiyou, they are particularly worried in their hearts, because the honor and disgrace of Nalanda Temple are all borne on them.

On the 16th, Zhao Ziliang drove to Nalanda Temple.

More than ten miles apart, Zhao Ziliang and Wang Zhiyun, who were sitting on the royal car, could see the towering spires of Nalanda Temple that were full of Buddhist art characteristics. Wang Zhiyun couldn't help but say, "How can the temple building be built so beautifully? ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Is it beautiful? Why can't I see pretty? It's very Buddhist, do you think the shape of this stupa doesn't look like the hair on the top of the Buddha's head? ”

Wang Zhiyun looked at it and said, "It's really a bit similar, especially the braided hair that is layered layer by layer like the top of the Buddha's head!" Hey, there seems to be someone in front of you! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the distance of the road, and sure enough, he saw many people on both sides of the road, and Li Sheng, the leading general of the escort, ran over and hugged his fists and reported: "King Qiqi, there are many Tianzhu people on both sides of the road ahead, do you want to expel them?" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said, "No need, just strengthen your vigilance!" We are here to worship the Buddha, not to make trouble! ”

"Yes!"
