Advise Tang Xuanzang to return to secular life?

Li Yuanai suddenly felt dizzy, and this task was almost impossible to complete.

In the novel, the king of the Kingdom of Women cannot do it. Why can he be a handsome rough man?

Moreover, reality is more fantastic than novels. Xuanzang alone went to India to obtain the true scriptures without any support without any support. This sincerity is enough to make people move.

No matter how Li Yuanai didn't like Buddhism in his heart, he didn't feel any disgusted with Tang Seng, who was familiar with since childhood. Especially now that he knew that he was smuggling out of seclusion, he felt a good impression of him and secretly admired him.

"This matter is not easy to deal with. Xuanzang was a high-ranking monk in our dynasty. With his talent and status, even if he did not go to India, his Buddhist achievements were one of the best. But he was willing to give up all this and went to India to seek Buddha regardless of the difficulties. This belief cannot be touched by external objects."

Li Shimin nodded in approval and said, "The emperor's opinion is the same, but this matter is related to the future of our Tang Dynasty, so we have to deal with it carefully."

He was worried that Li Yuanai would not understand and said, "The reason why Xuancheng dissuaded from many ways was because he intended to focus our dynasty on the Western Regions. The Western Regions were the best way for our dynasty to grow. Xuanzang went to India, slept in the open air, and what he saw and heard along the way was an extremely precious wealth. If he returned to secular life, I could promise him high-ranking officials and generous salaries, as long as he could become my dynasty's guide. With his understanding of the Western Regions and his reputation in the Western Regions, he could gain great convenience for our dynasty to explore the Western Regions."

When Li Yuanai heard the front, she felt disapproving, but she could understand it after thinking about it carefully.

Putting the goal in the West is an inevitability of this era, not Li Shimin's own short-sightedness.

The sea in the east bound everyone's eyes to this era, and since Zhang Qian opened the Western Regions, the connection between the East and the West has become increasingly close. The Silk Road has also been relatively stable due to the numerous military achievements achieved by the Tang Dynasty on all sides, and has become a major source of economic resources.

The influence of the Tang Dynasty itself also spread to the west along the Silk Road.

When developing westward, no matter how you look at it, it is the general trend.

Li Yuanai knew in his heart that what was really going on was not the Silk Road on the Road, but the Maritime Silk Road.

The stars and sea are the future.

However, the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty is not yet developed enough because it does not pay attention to it and the speed of progress is extremely slow. But Li Yuanai believes that with the wisdom of the ancients, as long as the court implements it, it will take a long time to create a ship that resists the wind and waves of the sea.

Once the world understands the huge profits of the Maritime Silk Road, even if the court gives up the implementation, it will make profit-seekers push forward.

However, Li Yuanai did not speak. The current Tang Dynasty can be said to be moving forward with heavy burdens.

Now, it is not only not beneficial, but it may also add to the burden on the entire dynasty.

Of course, the development of the Western Regions was also beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

It was really impossible to complete the task that just persuaded Tang Xuanzang to return to the secular world and serve the court.

Li Yuanai thought to himself, and suddenly realized that there was also a incident in history where Tang Xuanzang prayed for scriptures and returned to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin thought that he would have the same idea, but it seemed that he did not succeed.

He did not know the true history of Xuanzang of Tang, but he also heard the romantic affairs of Master Xuanzang's beloved disciple Bian Ji and Prince Gaoyang, and knew that Bian Ji was the story of helping Xuanzang translate scriptures. It can be seen that Xuanzang did not do as Li Shimin wished, but he did not believe that Li Shimin would give up. There must be some reason for each other to reach a consensus. He slapped his hands and said, "For him to force Master Xuanzang to return to secular life, it would be better to let him write a book called "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty". He asked him to explain in detail the style of the Western Regions, the size of the countries he passed through on the westward journey and the size of the countries he passed along the way back, their size, the size of the capital, the size of the capital, the size of agriculture, commerce, customs, literature, language, text, currency, kings, religion, etc., and write in detail. It is okay if others do not serve as guides, but use books as guides."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and said, "This is a method of two-dimensionality, so it is not as effective as he himself, but it can achieve his goal."

Li Zhi suddenly said, "I'm afraid that Xuanzang would not even want to write "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty". Those bald donkeys pay attention to the empty four elements, advocate not killing, and say the compassionate spirit of equality of sentient beings. With his talent, how could he not see through the purpose of letting him write "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty"?"

Li Yuanai was angry and shouted, "Hey, it's outrageous. The emperor and the prince, let me leave this matter to my brother. He is a bald donkey, but he dares to make a fuss? He still has to write this "The Record of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

Li Shimin made a decision: "This is the case. It is best to persuade Xuanzang to return to the secular world and become an official. I promised to write "A Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty", and I will also be your contribution."

Li Yuanai said: "Then the emperor is waiting for my good news."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "No, no, no, Xuanzang just passed Yumen Pass not long ago and was still on the way to Chang'an. In order to deal with the war in Goguryeo, I and the prince stayed in Luoyang. You represent the prince to welcome Xuanzang, take him to Luoyang, and meet with the emperor."

He had a premonition that Xuanzang would be the number one high monk in Buddhism this time and had extremely high prestige in Buddhism.

Buddhism began to flourish and develop from the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It spread throughout the country, and the number of monks and lay Buddhists increased rapidly. The Northern Wei Dynasty's "Luoyang Galan Record" records that when the temples in Luoyang were at its peak, there were more than 1,300 temples, more than 1,300 monks and nuns, and hundreds of Buddhist temples in Jianye in the south, and hundreds of thousands of monks in the world were invincible. This was why Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism.

However, Yang Jian and Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty were both Buddhist believers. They vigorously developed Buddhism, which quickly restored Buddhism. Although the Tang Dynasty believed in Taoism, its own character and nature did not reject and suppress Buddhism, and also enabled Buddhism to develop smoothly and became the second largest belief after the state Taoism.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin wanted to meet Xuanzang in person, a leading figure in the dynasty's second largest belief.

In order to welcome Xuanzang, Li Yuanai did not stay in Luoyang for too long, but went to Chang'an to prepare first.

In fact, there was nothing to prepare. Li Yuanai left behind his ship when he dredged the canal from north to south, and waited for the arrival of Master Xuanzang. He still wondered whether he was with Xuanzang, was he a man, a monkey, a pig, a giant monster and a white horse?

However, Li Yuanai did not guess both.

Xuanzang did not come alone, nor did he come alone, a monkey, a pig, a giant monster and a white horse. He led thousands of Buddhist believers.

Compared with Taoism in the Central Plains, Buddhism developed better in the Western Regions and Liangzhou due to its geographical advantages.

Xuanzang studied Buddhism in India for more than ten years and was famous for his five seals. He was respected by the Mahayana as the "Mahayana Heaven" and by the Hinayana as the "Liberation Heaven". He also participated in the most famous unblocked conference in India and shined in great success.
