Chapter 541: Monk Xuanzang
"This person is too arrogant, he can betray Xiao Mo today, and he will betray me when I fail." Li Xin said calmly and lightly.
"That's right, the last general is extremely uncomfortable to look at him." Wei Chigong said with a big grin: "What kind of person! 60,000 miscellaneous fish said that they could be the prince of the country, which really laughed off their big teeth. ”
"You're smart." Li Xin glared at his henchman Ai Jiang and said, "Can't a leg of mutton stop your mouth?" You came from Duvoy, how do you feel about Duvowe as a person? ”
"Hmmm! Pretty honest. Wei Chi Gong's black face flashed with a hint of ruddy, and finally said: "The last general sees that he is still more honest, if the last general seems to want to surrender, fight first." Where is like him, he surrendered without fighting a single battle. ”
"That's why his name is Duvoy." Ma Zhou said with a smile: "If it were General Wei Chi, I'm afraid Jianghuai would have been in chaos a long time ago, where is today's Jianghuai." ”
"Prime Minister, Master Xiao is here." At this time, Shen Qianqiu suddenly walked over and said cautiously.
"Xiao Yu? He is not in Bashu, why did he come to Jingxiang? Lone didn't recruit him to report on his work! Li Xin looked around curiously and said, "Could it be that the Wude Hall recruited him to report on his work, but he shouldn't come here!" ”
"I'm afraid it's for Xiao Liang's family." Liang Shuo touched his beard and smiled.
"Let him come!" Li Xin was stunned for a moment, nodded, looked around and said: "Speaking of which, this Xiao Yu has something to do with Xiao Miao, does Xiao Yu want to persuade Xiao Mi to submit to my Great Sui?" I'm afraid it's not that easy! "What kind of person is Xiao Miao? Among the information Li Xin obtained, he didn't have much ability. The ideal is very big, and he is jealous of other capable people, and he is narrow-minded. It may be difficult for such a person to surrender.
"Xiaguan Xiao Yu has seen the prime minister." Xiao Yu in the distance is still riding a little donkey, in the hard work of Bashu, a little gray of the sideburns can be faintly seen, Li Xin can see it clearly, and sigh in his heart, Xiao Yu is a talent, and Li Jing's conquest of Bashu has only been more than a year. However, since Xiao Yu took over Bashu, Bashu has been smooth and has quickly embarked on the road of healthy development. These are all the credits of Xiao Yu.
"Lord Xiao, please get up. Who is this master? Li Xin also found that Xiao Yu was followed by a young monk, with a benevolent appearance, and a faint sense of compassion in his eyes. It made him curious. I couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! Prime Minister, this is Master Xuanzang, I happened to meet on the way to Xiaguan, and we had a very happy conversation. Xiao Yu hurriedly introduced: "Master Xuanzang is a Buddhist monk and has a great reputation in Buddhism. ”
"Master Xuanzang, Li Xin is polite." Li Xin arched his hand and said. He looked carefully at the protagonist of "Journey to the West" and nodded again and again, although it was just a legend. But at this time, I went to India to study abroad. And very few of the Indian scriptures were brought back.
"His Royal Highness the King of Tang, the poor monk returned the courtesy." Xuanzang's face was calm and peaceful, he pronounced a Buddha name in his mouth, and respectfully returned the salute to Li Xin, in just a few words, he said this person's master demeanor, and the surrounding Ma Zhou, Liang Shuo and others also nodded, and the monk master saw a lot, but it was rare to think of Xuanzang like this. No wonder people like Xiao Yu invite him to go along, Xuanzang's temperament still makes people feel very comfortable.
"Master, please, haha, this king has been famous for the master for a long time, and seeing him today can be said to be enough to comfort his life!" Li Xin welcomed Xuanzang into the big tent.
"The name of the prince, the poor monk has long heard of the name of the prime minister, the prime minister loves the people like a son, and the people of Guanzhong call the prime minister the Buddha of ten thousand families." Xuanzang also followed Li Xin into the big tent.
"Haha, this king is just doing something that needs to be done, and he deserves such praise from the master. Please. Li Xin is still very enthusiastic about Xuanzang, on the one hand, Xuanzang is a real master, in this era, a monk alone to India to study Buddhist scriptures is very rare, although in history there are Fusang Buddhism to come to the Central Plains to study, but are a large number of people to come.
"The prime minister has millions of soldiers, looking at the world, and now he is conquest of the south of the Yangtze River, although it will promote the unification of the country, but God has the virtue of a good life, and the prime minister is better to kill less." After everyone came to the big tent, Xuanzang sat on the Mazha and saluted Li Xin and said: "After Emperor Wu conquered Goguryeo three times and dug the Grand Canal, the people were exhausted and the people were poor. ”
"The master is reasonable, but if you fight today, either you die or I die. Li Xin didn't dare to slack off, but he only killed to stop killing, not Li Xin made more killings, but he was helpless. Li Xin frowned, but still nodded and sighed: "There are disputes in the world, and there is nothing to be done." Does the master have a way? ”
"Didn't the prime minister do a good job in Guanzhong?" Xuanzang smiled and said: "The will of the people is the foundation, the prime minister treats the people of the world well, he will definitely be invincible, the heart of the army is the sword, the heart of the people is the armor, the world is so big, who else can defeat the prime minister?" ”
"What the master said is very true, although in the era of Emperor Wen, the world was rich, in fact, it was only the wealth of the imperial court, but the people were miserable, only the prime minister, the merchant circulation, the imperial court taxes increased year after year, the people either farmed, or raised mulberry, although the life was tight, but there were few starvation deaths in the territory, even if there were natural disasters, there was also a supply from the imperial court, these are the work of the prime minister." Ma Zhou also praised.
"The virtue of the prime minister is rare in the world." Liang Shuo also spoke. The rest of the generals also nodded, and although these guys didn't say anything to praise, they all had excitement on their faces.
"Alright, alright. This king said, these are all things that this king should do, and he should be in his position and should seek his government. Be kind to the people of the world, this is what the superior should do. Li Xin waved his hand and said.
"The prime minister is too modest." Xuanzang nodded.
"Chang'an is the center of the country, why didn't the master go to Chang'an, why did he come to Jiangnan?" Li Xin asked curiously, he remembered that Tang Xuanzang finally appeared in Chang'an, but he didn't expect to appear in Jiangnan now, and he met with himself, if it is about Buddhism, there are many temples in Chang'an, and Master Bao Xian is in Chang'an.
"Most of the virtuous monks appear in the famous mountains and rivers, and the poor monks have shallow knowledge, and they want to seek the great virtuous monks and preach the scriptures for the poor monks." Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk wants to go to the world first and visit a famous teacher." ”
Li Xinzhong sighed slightly, in the history of Chinese Buddhism, Xuanzang is an indispensable figure in the history of Buddhism, his merits, his virtues are praised by the world, now it seems that it is because of his sensitivity and studiousness, it is his pursuit of Buddhism that will make him achieve shocking results. Looking at the great monk in front of him, Li Xinzhong was also very admired.
"When Li Xin returns to Chang'an, he will definitely visit the master in person." Li Xin thought for a while and said to Monk Xuanzang: "If Master Xuanzang is in need, you can find the local government, I believe that the people under the rule of this king will definitely help the master." ”
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Xuanzang knew that Li Xin had other things, stood up, saluted Li Xin, and under the leadership of his own soldiers, he withdrew from the big tent, and the atmosphere in the big tent was suddenly not as relaxed as just now.
"Say it! Lord Xiao, you are not staying in Bashu, why did you come to Jiangnan, don't tell this king, Wude Hall asked you to go back to report on your work, you came to Jiangnan to see this king, I'm afraid the charm of this king is not so great! Li Xin looked at Xiao Yu with a smile and said. There were countless thoughts in his heart, just to guess the reason why Xiao Yu came to see him.
"Prime Minister, if there are wars all over the place today, and the people are not able to make a living, the Prime Minister will lead the army to the south, and look at the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River will not be able to hold on for a long time. It's just that although the prime minister will win, the people of Jiangnan will also be devastated, and the ministers have an old relationship with Xiao Mill, and they want to persuade Xiao Mill to surrender, so that the people of Jiangnan can also be exempted from a disaster. Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "If everyone can discuss this matter, it will not only be a blessing for the people of Jiangnan, but also a blessing for the prime minister." The people of Jiangnan will definitely praise the virtue of the prime minister. ”
"Will Xiao Mo surrender?" Li Xin said very calmly.
"How do you know if you don't try?" Xiao Yu's face was stunned, and he quickly said: "Xiao Mo looks very powerful, but in fact, the soldiers and horses under his command are not the opponents of our Guanzhong army at all. Xiao Milling is also a smart person, and if the minister goes to persuade him, he will definitely be able to persuade Xiao Mill to return. ”
"Okay, since Lord Xiao wants to go, then the king will promise you." Li Xin nodded and said, "This king can make him the prince of the country and ensure his wealth for life." ”
"Xiaguan heard that Xiao Mo has a daughter, named Yuexian, and Xiaguan heard that she is the first beauty in Jiangnan, and his subordinates ask the prime minister to accept her, so as to appease Xiao's heart." Xiao Yu suddenly said loudly.
There was silence in the big tent, Li Xin glanced at Xiao Yu, that Xiao Yu looked up at Li Xin, his eyes didn't blink, he couldn't see what Xiao Yu was thinking in his heart, Li Xin thought for a while, and said: "If that's the case, this king can agree to Lord Xiao's suggestion." It's just that if Xiao Mo doesn't surrender for a day, this king will not give up the attack, and this king will not press the treasure capital on the enemy. ”
"Xia Guan understands." Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Xiaguan is going to see Xiao Miao." ”
"Lord Xiao, if Xiao Mo doesn't agree, don't be reluctant, put safety first." Li Xin thought about it and said seriously.
Xiao Yu was stunned when he heard this, stood up, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you, thank you, no matter how bold Xiao Yu is, he won't dare to kill me if he wants to." ”
"Okay." Li Xin personally sent Xiao Yu out.
Looking at Xiao Yu's departing back, Li Xin said to Ma Zhou and Liang Shuo beside him: "What do you say, what is the so-called matter of Xiao Yu coming here at this time? Is it really to persuade Xiao Mill to surrender? Ben Wang always felt that something was wrong. ”
"Xia Guan heard that Princess Yuerong is pregnant?" Ma Zhou was silent for a while before he spoke. Liang Shuo didn't speak. (To be continued......)
