Chapter 1362: Your Majesty, I Want to Try It
Xuanzang looked at Master Jiexian, a little silent, and did not say anything.
"It's a rare thing to be able to find another career at this age that makes you feel like it's worth fighting for the rest of your life. If I had your determination and perseverance, I wouldn't be here. Master Jiexian said with a smile.
"Mage, your contribution is equally indelible." Xuanzang said.
"Haha, when you were able to come here from thousands of miles away after a few years, I felt that you were a person with great perseverance and would definitely be able to achieve great things, and my contribution was more of a last resort."
"We all pay attention to detachment from ourselves, and we all pay attention to Buddhahood, but actually, am I Buddha? Actually, I'm just a miserable person who can't survive, and I stay here because I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive outside after I leave. ”
"You don't live on this land, so you don't know how hard it is to live on this land, but I know it." The gray-haired, wrinkled Master Jiexian said it very bluntly.
"In front of them, I will always be an enlightened monk, and even say that I may have many relics after I die, but whether my heart is really at peace is only known to me."
"People who used to say this kept praising me, and they praised me so much that even I believed it."
"But I see more in you."
"I'm really glad that you've really found your own way. As for this sutra...... Not even bullshit. Venerable Jiexian chuckled and said, "The Buddha is in your heart, and when you feel that you are a Buddha, you are a Buddha, and it has nothing to do with how you do it or what means you use to do it. ”
"As for the Buddhist scriptures, they are just a law used to deceive the world, and it may have some truth, but it has never solved the fundamental problem of human existence."
"Reciting Buddhist scriptures is not enough to fill your stomach."
"But you Datang can fill the stomachs of the people. Let's go, do what you want to do, because even if you bring back those Buddhist scriptures here, the people who recite them with you 10,000 times can't solve their own food and clothing, but you can come up with a reasonable policy for Datang, but you can. ”
"I would love to have a dynasty similar to the Tang Dynasty in this land, but unfortunately, there isn't."
"A lot of things here have been fixed, the gods promoted here, the sects promoted here are always in the service of the ruler's rule."
Xuanzang looked at the smiling Venerable Jiexian, he didn't expect the other party to say such a remark that if it was spread, he would be completely driven out by Buddhism.
But there is no one else here.
"I see, mage, please take care. Chen Xuanzang said goodbye. Xuanzang, or Chen Xuanzang, stood up and said with a serious face.
"Goodbye, Mr. Chen." Master Jiexian smiled and said, "What I said just now, I won't admit it when I leave here, the next time we meet, if I'm still alive, then I'll still be that master." ”
Chen Xuanzang smiled and saluted, "Thank you Master for taking care of me for a few years." ”
Saying goodbye to Master Jiexian, Chen Xuanzang took his own things, and then left here, holding his own customs clearance papers, Chen Xuanzang was not troubled by the Tubo people, but went directly to Yuzhang Port by boat.
After arriving at Yuzhang Port, Chen Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, and then chose to visit the supreme governor of Yuzhang Port, Xu Zheng, who was the one who sent him the customs clearance document at the beginning.
"I've seen Master Xuanzang." After Xu Zheng saw Chen Xuanzang, although he was a little surprised by his current appearance, he still saluted as soon as possible.
"General Xu is polite, I am still vulgar, and now my name is Chen Xuanzang." Chen Xuanzang said with a smile that he did not use his common name, but kept his surname, and his name was Xuanzang, which should be regarded as a commemoration of his nearly twenty-year career.
"I see, then I don't know if Chen Langjun came to return to Datang? If so, a fleet will return to Datang in about three days, and it will arrive at the port of Guangzhou in about a month, and then take a special passenger ship, and it will be almost possible to return to Chang'an City in another twenty days. Xu Zheng said.
"No, I have an idea, I wonder if General Xu can tell His Majesty?" Chen Xuanzang asked.
"Huh?" Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Chen Langjun, please speak." ”
"I have read through the book that His Majesty handed me back then, and I have read it many times, and I have a new understanding of many places, and I also have a new understanding of today's Datang."
"So I look at the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has been leveled in all seas, and Goguryeo in the hinterland has been wiped out, and the next step is naturally to pacify Tianzhu if you have the ability."
"But Tibet is a country that has to deal with it between the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu."
"So, if Your Majesty allows it, I want to send an envoy to Tubo to see if I can talk to Songtsen Gampo and let Tubo also submit to the Tang Dynasty." Chen Xuanzang said.
Xu Zheng: "?? ”
To be honest, Xu Zheng was a little confused when he listened, this ...... Do you want to persuade a country to surrender? Although it is true that there is a precedent for the entire country to join Datang before.
But those are just the vassal countries before the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty has an absolute advantage over them, but now in Tibet, the Tang Dynasty also has an advantage over them, but it is not too big.
Is Chen Xuanzang so confident now?
But the Xu Zheng in front of him really knew who he was, after all, His Majesty had deliberately communicated with the other party and gave the other party a set of books, which shows that His Majesty values him very much.
After thinking about it, Xu Zheng nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then it is okay, I will help Chen Langjun deliver the news to His Majesty, but whether His Majesty will allow it, then it is not for me to know." ”
"In this way, I asked people to arrange a residence for Chen Langjun, and there will be news in about two days."
"Two days?" Chen Xuanzang thought he had misheard.
"Yes, it's two days." Xu Zheng smiled and spoke, but did not explain.
"This ...... All right. Chen Xuanzang's face was stunned, but he didn't ask in the end, if the other party can say something, it must be said, since he didn't say it, it was obviously not announced to the public.
Xu Zheng arranged for Chen Xuanzang to sit down, and then immediately transmitted Chen Xuanzang's words back to Chang'an by radio.
When Li Ke received the news, he was also a little stunned.
Xuanzang ...... To be honest, Xuanzang is nothing to the Tang Dynasty, and the reason why Li Ke communicated with him at the beginning was actually more because of Xuanzang's own popularity in later generations and his relationship with "Journey to the West".
After all, most people know Xuanzang because of "Journey to the West", because of these four famous books.
And the monkey has made many people know Xuanzang.
Li Ke is naturally no exception, Xuanzang in the history books, if there is no "Journey to the West", he may be like many ordinary celebrities in history, when he reads, he knows that he will soon forget it when he goes to society, and he will not be so well-known.
At first, he was just having fun, but he didn't expect Xuanzang to really change another path.
"In this way, Chen Xuanzang was named the Shaoqing of the Tang Honglu Temple, and he was ordered to send an envoy to Tibet." Li Ke thought about it and decisively agreed, let him try if he wanted to.
