Xuanzang 'lived' at the gate of the Qin Palace, and Su Meng was afraid that he would freeze to death in winter, so he built a glass house, but the location was not at the door, but at the main entrance a little bit away, only separated from his porter by a wall.

Xuanzang is a person with great perseverance, which Li Chengqian admires very much, but admiration does not mean that he will definitely do what he says.

After all, Buddhism is about not fighting with the world, which may be a good thing for an individual, but a nightmare for a country.

How dangerous is it when a country is not enterprising, and everyone in the whole country is thinking about having nothing to do with the world? In this world surrounded by wolves, if Datang becomes indisputable, there is no need to consider the consequences.

Therefore, from a personal point of view, Li Chengqian admires the old monk very much, but from the perspective of the concept of life, he and the monk did not take the same road, this is the so-called Tao difference.

Under such circumstances, Li Chengqian refused Xuanzang's persuasion, but he didn't really treat him well, but instead created a convenient condition for him.

Xuanzang also seemed to understand this, and since he talked with Li Chengqian that time, he never came to disturb him, but only asked for a lot of paper and pen from Su Meng, and began to translate the scriptures.

After all, this time he brought back a large number of classics in Tianzhu, which are all in Sanskrit and must be translated into Chinese before they can be read by the public.

Li Chengqian didn't say anything after knowing about this, but instead sent a large number of necessities to the old monk.

In this way, the time unconsciously entered February.

……

"I heard that there is an extra monk on your doorstep?" One day, Li Chengqian was called into the imperial city by the old man, and as soon as he entered the study, he was ridiculed.

"Father, the monk is actually not good, although the sons do not agree with their philosophy of doing things, but there is no prejudice against the monk himself." Li Chengqian did not shy away from Xuanzang's affairs, and said bluntly.

The old man hummed noncommittally when he heard this, and waited for Li Chengqian to find a place to sit down before he said slowly: "Call that old monk into the palace one day, I have something to discuss with him." ”

"Yes, Erchen wrote it down." Li Chengqian replied.

"Xiao Wu will be leaving in a few days, right?" As soon as the topic changed, the old man pulled the matter on Li You again.

"Yes, the date of departure is set for the third day of the third month of March." Li Chengqian couldn't grasp what the old man wanted to do, so he had to answer all questions.

"Are you sure you don't want to use those people as cannon fodder on this expedition?" The old man was silent again for a moment before continuing to ask

"Naturally not, why did my father say this?" Li Chengqian was a little puzzled.

Lao Li stared at his son for a while, and then said: "A group of stragglers, and they don't have a few good equipment, do you dare to say that you don't plan to use them as cannon fodder when you send them to the Japanese country?" ”

"Father, it's not that the sons and daughters don't give them equipment, but that those equipment can't be brought over at all." Li Chengqian said with a wry smile: "Our current firearms are all gunpowder, and gunpowder is afraid of water, if Erchen really let them bring firearms, it will harm them." ”

"Oh?" The old man took a sip of tea, looked at Li Chengqian, and motioned for him to continue.

"Father, Xiao Wu, they will sail at sea for more than 20 days when they go to the Wa Kingdom, in case those gunpowder are damp, they will be completely useless when they arrive in the Wa Kingdom." Li Chengqian explained.

"Well, there's some truth to that."

Li Chengqian listened to his father's words, and was embarrassed and didn't know whether to cry or laugh, the old man should have known this a long time ago, but why should he ask again.

As a result, just when Li Chengqian didn't know what to say, the old man abruptly changed the topic again: "How are you going to solve the matter of Tianzhu?" Are you really planning to destroy Tianzhu too? ”

"Huh? Tianzhu? What happened to Tianzhu? It is Li Chengqian's habit to pretend to be confused, and he is about to get used to it, and as soon as the old man finished speaking, he began to pretend reflexively.

The old man put the tea cup in his hand on the table: "Pretend to believe it or not, Lao Tzu will whip you!" ”

"Oh my God, Tianzhu, I know, I know!" Looking at the old man's hand knife, Li Chengqian smiled: "Isn't this Tianzhu's dishonest king who is not honest, when the Western Turks invaded our Western Regions last year, the ministers heard that he secretly funded those people, so he must be taught a lesson." ”

"The King of the Ring of the Sun finances the Western Turks? Can you be sure? A hint of banter flashed in Lao Li's eyes.

"Don't have to!" Li Chengqian rubbed his chin: "When the time comes, you will know if you catch him and investigate." ”

Very good, this reason is very powerful, the old man looked at his son wordlessly, and he was a little stupid for a while.

I knew that this kid was shameless, but I never thought that he would be so shameless, and he would dare to do such a big thing just because he didn't have it. And listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that he really has a plan to destroy Tianzhu.

At this time, I heard Li Chengqian speak again: "Father, although the place of Tianzhu is not very good, we occupy it better than the big cannibals, the left and right are dead, and it is different in whose hands it is, right?" ”

"And if we subdue Tianzhu, we will have a springboard to go out, and there is still a large continent in the southwest of Tianzhu......"

Li Chengqian once briefly drew the geographical location of the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa for the old man, and now he is not afraid that Lao Li has no concept when he talks about it.

However, His Majesty Li Er frowned when he heard this.

Li Chengqian can toss unscrupulously, but as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er has to consider the consequences of occupying Tianzhu.

Datang is already big enough, it will take several months to walk from the Western Regions to Chang'an alone, and if Tianzhu is occupied again, I am afraid that it will not be enough to walk from west to east once without two years.

This may sound like a good thing, but when you think about it, this is already an incomparably vast territory in terms of the scope of ancient people's activities, and it is difficult for people to control it completely.

Such a large piece of territory, assigned to his subordinates to garrison, made Lao Li a little uneasy, and if he sent royal children to garrison...... It seems even more reassuring.

Therefore, although His Majesty Li Er also longed for more land, reason was telling him that now he had enough land, and he no longer needed a territory like Tianzhu, which was almost equal to an enclave.

The fat that was about to reach his mouth, but he could only look at it and didn't dare to take it, which made Li Er feel painful and happy.

This is the first time he has a kind of look at good things and dare not start, after all, although Tianzhu is good, if he eats it, it is really likely that Datang will be blown up directly
