For three or five days in a row, Xuanzang went into various monasteries to preach during the day, thousands of monks and nuns, and thousands of people, so that Xuanzang went to which temple and which temple was overcrowded, and every time thousands of people could not enter the temple and were reluctant to leave outside the temple for a long time.

In the evening, I went to the palace for a banquet, hundreds of officials gathered, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, because Xuanzang didn't even drink vegetarian wine, the emperor opened his mouth and removed the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the chairman where the emperor and Xuanzang were all replaced with vegetarian dishes, Xuanzang was greatly moved, and bowed his head again.

Wait until you finish eating and then go back to the post house to rest, every day is around the hour.

So repeatedly, seeing that the enthusiasm of the people of Gaochang is undiminished, although Xuanzang is happy that he is so respected, but the purpose of his coming here is to go to the west to learn scriptures, in order to deepen his Buddhism.

Late at night, Xuanzang thought hard for a long time and decided to enter the palace tomorrow to meet Emperor Gaochang, one to thank the emperor for his hospitality in person, and the other to resign to the emperor.

The next day, in the main hall of the Gaochang Imperial Palace.

Xuanzang said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk Xuanzang has been receiving the emperor's hospitality for several days, but the matter of learning the scriptures is the grand vision of the poor monks in the early years, if you don't go against Xuanzang's heart, then the Mahayana Buddhism of the West Heaven can purify all sentient beings, he will return to Xuanzang after taking the scriptures, and then return to Gaochang to chant and pray for His Majesty, the poor monk wants to go west today, and I hope that the emperor will approve it!"

"I'm not allowed!" Ju Wentai said angrily directly, finding that he was out of shape, and continued with kind words: "I hope that the heart of the monk can be learned, and I am overjoyed to hear that the master has come to my Gaochang, and I am ecstatic to climb the city every day to look at it, and it is only three or five days, the master is about to leave, and my heart is unbearable like a knife." If the government and the opposition are turbulent, how can I be worthy of the ancestors and martyrs, the master is my Gaochang Sheji, you might as well be a national teacher in my Gaochang, how about you and I are in charge of the country?"

Xuanzang was frightened and bowed: "Your Majesty must not, the poor monk is just a wandering monk, how can he occupy the important position of the national teacher, and Xuanzang's matter of learning the scriptures has been set a few years ago, and the poor monk has also twice asked to see my Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, all because of the power of the court is divided into two factions, it is difficult to predict, although the poor monk begged hard, Taizong finally did not allow the poor monk to go west, it was the poor monk who crossed the border privately to this, during which he almost died, but the poor monk's heart to learn the scriptures has never wavered in the slightest, this is really Xuanzang's wish, and I hope that His Majesty will allow the poor monk to go west. ”

"Master!" Ju Wentai persuaded: "You also know that you have almost died several times, the Tang Dynasty is only thousands of miles away, and the Lingshan Mountain is more than 100,000 miles away, the road is difficult and dangerous, and there are many demons, I know that the demons in the west have occupied the city and established themselves as kings, specializing in eating passers-by, such a difficult journey, how can the master go on the road alone to reach Deling Mountain?" It's better to be a national teacher in my Gaochang, not only can you keep you safe, but also can pass on the scriptures here and receive apprentices, a few years later, with the master's Buddhist attainments, it is easy to establish a sect, and it is also admired by people for all generations, isn't it wonderful?"

"Your Majesty! What the poor monks have learned is Hinayana Buddhism, and when the poor monks obtain the scriptures, the poor monks will verify each other with the Mahayana scriptures, and they will be able to deepen Xuanzang's Buddhist attainments, and it will not be too late to serve Your Majesty, and please allow the poor monks to go west. Xuanzang knelt down and pleaded.

Datang and Gaochang are also not allowed to go west, but in Datang he was expelled from the palace gate, here is good, not only earnestly retained, but also awarded the position of national teacher, this Gaochang country so believe in Buddhism, Xuanzang knows that he has already opened his mouth to resign, a little hesitation will be left for the other party, he will only be more difficult to leave in the future, so he will not let go.

His Majesty the Emperor made a look, and several ministers picked up Xuanzang and gathered in the middle to persuade Xuanzang to stay.

Xuanzang just shook his head and refused to stay, and fought for half an hour, Ju Wentai, who was sitting on the dragon throne, frowned, and sat down at the moment, brewing emotions, feeling that his expression was almost the same, and then he burst out and said: "Come on! This monk is so ignorant! ”

This frightened the ministers and Xuanzang, but the guards didn't care about this, seven or eight people came in response, holding a steel knife on Xuanzang's neck, and directly took him away.

The court was silent for a while, and when the ministers wondered if they were panting too loudly, the emperor laughed and said: "Hahaha..... all Aiqing are so nervous, but I am afraid that I will kill Master Xuanzang? ”

The solemn and solemn hall representing the power of the state was as chaotic as a vegetable market in an instant, and the ministers made suggestions and argued endlessly, all they did was how to leave Xuanzang and make him willing to be a national teacher here.

The monarch and the ministers studied together and finally finalized the various details of the lobbying, which was already an hour after Xuanzang was taken away by the guards.

Zai became the first lobbyist and stepped into the prison with his head held high to start the lobbying career of Gao Changguo.

And then there was the crown prince.......

And then there were the two princes........

Marshal.........

After noon, the guards of the heavenly prison found that Master Xuanzang was on a hunger strike, and hurriedly reported it, and Ju Wentai also panicked, and sent a huge lobbying group such as the crown prince and the five high-ranking monks of Gaochang who were urgently found from outside the palace.

The next day, Xuanzang still went on a hunger strike, sat firmly in the prison and meditated, and the ministers continued to lobby.

On the third day, Xuanzang went on a hunger strike, the ministers lobbied, and even ordinary people who petitioned entered the prison to kowtow to Xuanzang, begging the monks to go out and become national teachers.

On the fourth day, the ministers lobbied to no avail, Xuanzang continued to go on a hunger strike, when the guards came to report, Master Xuanzang was hungry and fainted in the prison, and he was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, where could the anxious Ju Wentai hold back, no matter what his lobbying plan, no matter whether Xuanzang was a national teacher or not, he couldn't starve such a monk to death in the prison, right?

In the palace, under a gazebo outside the prison, Ju Wentai looked at Xuanzang, who was waking up leisurely on the soft collapse, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master, why do you have to be like this! I asked you to be the national teacher, originally for the good of the master, and put the master in the prison, but I just wanted to persuade the master to stay, in order to let the master stay in my Gaochang forever, the picture is a long-term plan, why should the master use such an extreme method as a hunger strike!" It's too late for me to respect the master, I heard that the master is on a hunger strike, and I can't sleep and eat, and today I know that the master has fainted, and my heart is like a knife, and it is really difficult to forgive my sins. ”

"Xuanzang is a grass people, His Majesty He Lao is so concerned. Xuanzang continued: "I hope that Your Majesty will allow Xuanzang to go west." ”

"Okay! I'm done!" Xuanzang fainted from hunger strike, Ju Wentai was embarrassed to keep it anymore, and was in a gloomy loss, when suddenly an idea came to him, and blurted out: "I don't know if the master is willing to bow to me?

Xuanzang was overjoyed when he heard this: "The poor monk is willing! The imperial brother is above, please accept the worship of the younger brother." ”

Saying that Xuanzang was going to perform the Jinlan ceremony, Ju Wentai smiled and said: "You, the royal brother, have been on a hunger strike for four days, in case you faint during the bowing, wouldn't it be my sin, and it is not too late to wait for the royal brother to eat and drink enough before performing the Jinlan ceremony." ”

After the meal was full, the two bathed in incense, told heaven and earth, and performed the gift of righteousness and Jinlan.

After the ceremony, Emperor Ju Wentai of Gaochangguo announced to the world that he became a brother with Chen Xuanzang, a monk of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time granted amnesty to the world.
