Li Xuan walked into the cabin.

Under the window, Monk Huiri was intently looking at a book.

It doesn't look like a Buddhist scripture.

"Master!" Li Xuan stood a little farther away and stopped politely.

Didn't go to the random visits.

"This is the "Chronicle of the Buddha's Kingdom" written by Master Fa Xian back then." Monk Huiri calmly pushed the "Buddha's Chronicles" forward, looked at Li Xuan and said: "The prince should know that Master Xuanzang is not the first monk from Middle Earth who successfully went to Tianzhu and then successfully returned. ”

"I've heard of it, but it's not detailed, please explain it to the master." Li Xuan folded slightly.

"In the first year of the Song Yongchu of the Southern Dynasty, that is, more than 260 years ago, the senior monk Fa Xian Master convened 25 people, including Master Wuji, Master Tan Lang, and Master Seng Meng, starting from Chang'an, crossing the Liusha River in the west, crossing the Green Mountains, crossing the snow-capped mountains, crossing the vast Gobi, arriving at the country of Shewei, encountering evil elephants, making lions to rescue, encountering rhinos, big eagles, to the Ganges, seeking classics, and finally taking a boat in South India through the seaway, returning to Guangzhou."

Monk Huiri finally raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said seriously: "Twenty-five people set out, and in the end, only five people survived, and the others, either died or stayed in Tianzhu, and in the end, only Master Faxian took the sea route and returned to Middle-earth alone." ”

Li Xuan nodded seriously, and said solemnly: "The master's merits are immeasurable. ”

Monk Huiri smiled faintly, and then said: "The prince can know that although Master Faxian and Shizu have the same westward journey, there is a section that is clearly divided between north and south. ”

"Master, please speak." Li Xuan's expression became solemn, and the highlight of the day came.

Monk Huiri pushed the "Buddha's Record" in his hand forward again, and then said: "After the ancestor arrived in Lanzhou, he took a short rest, and then went to Liangzhou, took the northern route of the Silk Road, and went to Zhangye, but Master Faxian was along the Huangshui, into Shanzhou, and then across Qinghai Lake, north to northwest into Qilian Mountain, over the big shaking valley, into Zhangye, this is the road we are walking now." ”

Big Shake Pulls Valley, this name Li Xuan is not unfamiliar.

Now the army of the Tang Ganliang Road has been blocked by the Tubo people in the northwest of the Great Shaking Valley, and it is not allowed to enter at all.

"Thank you master, Xiao Wang will definitely read it sincerely." Li Xuan bowed his hand seriously and sincerely, with a solemn expression.

Monk Huiri smiled lightly, then lowered his head and took another Buddhist scripture and read it in a low voice.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, and the whole person was extremely happy.

Fortunately, when he was in Chang'an, he went to the Great Ci'en Temple, otherwise he would have really missed this opportunity.

Although the terrain has changed dramatically more than 200 years later, he can still get a lot of useful things out of it.

After all, the terrain in that area, the spies in the army don't know how many times they have explored, but the army is still blocked in the valley on the north side of the Great Shake Valley.

Now that there are new clues, you may be able to find a new path.

Only those who have been in the mountains know how desperate it is to have no way forward.

Leaving from Monk Huiri's room, Li Xuan turned around and walked into Deng Ziyang's cabin.

The difference is that Deng Ziyang is standing in front of one bulkhead, and a map hangs in front of him.

The map is not too new, very rough map of the Qingxi Basin.

In recent years, even ordinary business travelers have gone to the Qingxi area, after all, the Golmud area is still very prosperous.

There, it happens to be at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Deng Ziyang's eyes were fixed on Kunlun Mountain.

"Back then, King Zhou Mu set up eight horses and drove westward to Kunlun Mountain to meet the Queen Mother of the West." Li Xuan walked to Deng Ziyang's side and said in a low voice: "But the mythical Kunlun Mountain seems to be talking about Qilian Mountain. ”

"The Queen Mother of the West lives in Yaochi, north of Kunlun Mountain, and Yuan Shi Tianzun lives in Yujing, south of Kunlun Mountain." Deng Ziyang smiled slightly and said, "Poor Dao is looking for Yujing, not Yaochi. ”

"It is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that Kunlun Mountain, the highest mountain in the sea, is in the northwest and is the capital of the Emperor of Heaven on earth. The radius is 800 miles, as high as 7 or 8,000 zhang...... Standing as the crown, it is the capital of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven sent the god Lu Wu to manage Kunlun Mountain. ”

Li Xuan looked at Deng Ziyang seriously and said: "But in the Qingxi area, whether in ancient times or now, compared to the Central Plains, it is a sparsely populated place, and there may be Kunlun Mountain Yuxu Palace in the world, but it is definitely not in the northwest." ”

Deng Ziyang smiled calmly and said, "So where does the prince think that in the primeval times, the Central Plains?" ”

In the primeval period, before the great flood, even Shuzhong Shandong was where the sea was.

Therefore, before the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was uplifted, before the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and before the civilization was recorded, the Central Plains was really likely to be in Qinghai and Gansu.

"It's a faux pas." Li Xuan bowed slightly, he was persuaded, but immediately, he opened his mouth and asked, "Does the real person plan to practice in Kunlun Mountain?" ”

"No, of course not." Deng Ziyang hurriedly waved his hand, and then said sideways: "Where the prince needs the poor road to practice, the poor road will be cultivated." ”

Li Xuan smiled and said softly: "To cultivate the Heavenly Dao, you need to be in Kunlun Mountain, but to cultivate the Humane, you still need to be in Nanshan Mountain, Qinghai. ”

Qugou New Town, Li Xuan's choice is Qugou New Town.

In comparison, Fuqi City is too remote, and Xinghai City is too close to the front line, only Qugou is a necessary place for business travelers from all over the world, and it is the most prosperous place.

"Respect the order of the prince." Deng Ziyang made a serious salute.

He went to Qinghai-Tibet, not to find the myth of Kunlun Mountain.

After all, from ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people went to Kunlun Mountain, and in the end there was no news.

So on this trip, he can take the time to go to Kunlun Mountain to have a fun, but the main thing is to establish a Taoist temple in Qinghai and spread Taoism.

Li Xuan walked out of the room where Deng Ziyang was led, and couldn't help but feel a little tired for a while.

These two, one is eyeing the ancient road of Faxian, and the other is eyeing Kunlun Mountain.

It's really interesting.

……

As the sun set, Li Xuan had already disappeared into the northwest along Weishui.

At this time, Liu Yizhi and Fan Lubing slowly rode into Chang'an City.

On the street, there were dense crowds, but invisibly, there was a flow of people, separating Liu Yizhi and Fan Lubing from the rest of the people.

Looking at this incomparably prosperous Chang'an City, Liu Yizhi couldn't help but sigh softly: "The king of Nanchang is finally gone, I don't know why, every time he goes back to Chang'an, Chang'an is always inevitably turbulent." ”

"If it weren't for these turmoil, His Majesty wouldn't have let him come back." Fan Lubing nodded lightly, and then said in a low voice: "Although our king of Nanchang is not proficient in officialdom, he has a very good grasp of people's hearts. ”

"Anyway, it's over, and it's not as good as expected, but it's getting the best." Liu Yizhi's expression was calm.

This time, he is the person behind everything.

Because of a small negligence in the Tianyin Sect incident, Liu Yizhi was caught by Li Xuan, and then he was severely reprimanded by Empress Wu, and then he was very estranged for a while.

Fortunately, now that Ming Chongyan has gone to Dunhuang, there is a vacancy in their manpower, and Liu Yizhi has been activated by Empress Wu again.

"Shangshu Zuo Cheng's attitude has indeed changed, but the position of Zuo Shilang, His Majesty gave Dou Sitai, the examiner of the Ministry of Officials." Fan Lubing followed up, and Liu Yizhi's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Although Zuo Shilang Zhong seems to be only from the five grades, just looking at the fact that he can supervise the household department, the official department and the ritual department, it is enough to prove his importance.

If you talk about it in detail, the importance of this position is definitely not inferior to any of the six squires.

This should have been something that they, the North Gate Bachelors, should get, but because of their mistakes, this position finally fell into the hands of Dou Sitai, the examiner of the Ministry of Officials.

The corners of Liu Yizhi's mouth smiled reluctantly, and finally said: "It's okay, Dou Langzhong is also our own people." ”

Fan Lubing calmly asked: "Is he really our own person?" ”

Dou Sitai is Li Dan's brother-in-law, nominally speaking, most of these Beimen scholars are gathered under Li Dan's command, and they are Li Dan's most powerful staff.

and Li Dan's father-in-law's family, they are naturally a common interest group.

But the problem is that all the Beimen scholars are all children of the Han family, but the Dou clan is the top wealthy clan among them.

If these North Gate Scholars really pushed Li Dan to the position, then the Dou clan ...... The Dou clan will be completely on the opposite side of them in the future.

There is no doubt about it.

"In addition, there is another thing, Luo Governor Shi Cui Zhiyi came to visit the king of Nanchang the day before yesterday," Fan Lubing's last sentence completely turned Liu Yizhi's attention away.

"Governor Luo Shi Cui Zhiyi, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Cui Zhiwen brother." Liu Yizhi's breathing became completely heavy,

"Today's Luozhou Mu is His Royal Highness the King of England." Fan Lubing followed up with another knife, and Liu Yizhi's fist clenched instantly.

In the Tang Dynasty, the state is the history of the assassin, the governor of the military and political affairs, and the royal family is the pastor of the assassin history.

Li Xianren was the assassin of Luozhou, and he was the pastor of Luozhou.

Of course, Li Xian, the pastor of Luozhou, is not in office, but this does not mean that Li Xian cannot recruit talents through the Luozhou Prefecture Government.

In the middle of this, the position of the governor of Los Angeles is very important.

In the absence of Li Xian, the history of the governor of Los Angeles is the actual history of the assassination of Luozhou.

Now Cui Zhiyi suddenly visited Li Xuan, and Li Xuan has always been close to the King of England.

This means that Governor Luo began to get close to King Li Xian of England, which means that Li Xian began to actually take over the right of the pastor of Luozhou.

Not only that, Luo Governor Shi Cui Zhiyi is the brother of Shangshu Zuocheng Cui Zhiwen, Cui Zhiyi is close to Li Xian, who knows if Shangshu Zuocheng Cui Zhiwen is also close to Li Xian, so what about the entire Qinghe Cui family?

King Xiang has just won over the Longxi Dou clan here, and King Ying has wooed the Qinghe Cui clan over there.

The power that King Xiang had just formed was immediately completely balanced by the King of England.

Liu Yizhi's face was slightly embarrassed and said, "At least, the Cui family is staying away from the prince, isn't it?" ”

Fan Lubing also breathed a sigh of relief, this is the best news today.

Not only is the Cui clan of the Dou clan staying away from the prince, but other major clans are also staying away from the prince.

"However, the crown princess will give birth at the end of the year, what if it is the emperor's grandson and the emperor's eldest grandson?" Fan Lubing couldn't help but shake his head.

Once the emperor's eldest grandson is born, then these people, the power that has just emerged, will be suppressed immediately.

Everything is back to the state where nothing happened, and it's frustrating to think about.

"Your Majesty, this method is truly amazing." Liu Yizhi couldn't help but sigh, in the final analysis, they were all under the control of the emperor.

"There's one more thing to remind you of." Fan Lubing turned to look at Liu Yizhi, and said with a serious face: "According to the news of Yushitai, Di Renjie is still secretly investigating the case of the fire in Zhaoling. ”

The corners of Liu Yizhi's mouth twitched slightly, but then he said: "Just check, just check, anyway, I didn't do that thing." ”

Fan Lubing nodded slightly, and then said indifferently: "As long as you are sure that those two people have really disappeared without a trace, then naturally you don't have to worry." ”

Liu Yizhi bowed his head lightly and said, "It's a pity that the queen of heaven won't let Di Renjie move." ”

"Your Majesty won't let you either." Fan Lubing stared at Liu Yizhi coldly.

……

Under the cover of night, a war horse came quickly from the northwest and soon ran under the city of Chang'an.

After crossing Suzaku Street, straight into the palace, and finally the military newspaper was placed in front of the emperor and the military queen: Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, and the Western Turks.
