Chapter VIII The Evil Monk Makes Troubles

Li Yuanai has been in this era for many years and has met some big names. When he traveled through time, he saw the most famous Emperor Taizong of Tang and his son Emperor Gaozong at the first glance.

I have some resistance to historical celebrities.

When I heard Wang Xuance’s name, I was already very calm.

Isn’t it just one person who destroys a country?

Are there few generals who destroyed the country in the Tang Dynasty?

Many!

If you destroy a few countries, you will be embarrassed to talk in the temple if you capture a few kings.

Moreover, Wang Xuance fought against India, India, Asia, and was the country with the lowest combat effectiveness and no one could do it.

Looking back at the two thousand years of history in India, it is a history of humiliation lying on the ground, spreading its legs.

It is true that Wang Xuance is not awesome, but if you really want to say that he is too awesome, it may not be possible.

But there is no doubt that he is a capable person.

Li Yuanai still has the desire to get to know such a person, after all, he may be able to use it in the future.

Changsun Chong was so weird that he didn't refuse, but he didn't refuse, "Then please wait in the living room."

The two walked towards the living room together.

Changsun Chong asked, "The King of Shang has actually heard of Wang Chengyilang? Are you also interested in the matter of Tianzhu?"

Li Yuan Ai climbed upwards and said, "Yes, before going to Goguryeo, did your Majesty order me to receive the eminent monk Master Xuanzang? Master Xuanzang came from India and told me about the matter about India, and became interested in it."

Changsun Chong said, "The King of Shang is looking for the right person. Wang Chengyilang is one of the officials of this dynasty who knows the best in the dynasty. In the 17th year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance was ordered to be the deputy envoy, following the dynasty doctor, Weiwei Temple Chief, and the guardian Li Yibiao escorted the envoy of the Brahmin Kingdom back to China. He just turned to India and happened to learn that the monk Xuanzang was from the Tang Dynasty, and they were in contact with each other. Therefore, he learned that Master Xuanzang was smuggled to study Buddhism and seek the true scriptures. Master Xuanzang intends to return to China, but he is worried about being punished and dare not leave. Wang Chengyilang returns to the court with Master Xuanzang's memorial. The saint learned about this and issued an order to return to China. This is why Master Xuanzang returns to China after obtaining the scriptures."

"Tianzhu also had close contacts with our Tang Dynasty and sent envoys to the court to worship. Seeing that Master Xuanzang returned from seeking scriptures, the saint decided to send envoys to Tianzhu again, and the candidate had been decided. He was the former deputy envoy, the current envoy Wang Chengyilang."

There is someone in this temple? Sure enough, well-informed.

What Changsun Chong said? Li Yuanai was completely unaware of it and had never heard of it.

Li Yuanai felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. She said, "What's wrong? Is the emperor's brother seeing Buddhism prevalence? I want to promote it? It shouldn't be. With the emperor's personality, I can't do such a thing."

Changsun Chong laughed in silence and said, "The King of Shang and the Saint are indeed brothers, what they think? We cannot understand."

Li Yuanai was curious in an instant? asked, "Oh! How do you say this?"

Changsun Chong said: "Your Majesty sent an envoy to India this time, on the one hand, to consolidate each other's relationship and facilitate control over the Western Regions. On the other hand, to send the "Tao Te Ching" to the King of India."

pretty!

Li Yuanai slapped his hands and said, "Is this the emperor brother? I asked for Buddhist scriptures from them? I will give them to the Taoist classic "Tao Te Ching", which is the coming and going. But just those people in India can understand the "Tao Te Ching"?"

Changsun Chong could not understand the mentality of Li Yuanai and Li Shimin, and shook his head and said, "It's another matter to read it or not. Anyway, the saint ordered Master Xuanzang to translate the "Tao Te Ching"? If the translation is not completed, he will not be allowed to translate Buddhist scriptures."

"Puff!"

Li Yuanai laughed out loud? He said, "Let a Buddhist monk translate Taoist classics? This trick is enough to lose weight? Isn't it right? Do you dare to take a gamble? This idea is not what the emperor brother thinks? It should be the prince's intention."

Changsun Chong exclaimed and said, "The King of Shang Mingdu? The order was issued by the saint. But Chong got the exact news and it was the prince's order that His Majesty gave the order."

Li Yuanai smiled and said, "Sure enough, except for him, no one else can think of this trick."

Changsun Chong pretended not to hear it and continued walking: "When the court chose this outstanding candidate for the Indian people, Chong knew that Wang Chengyilang had experience in serving an envoy and was quite eloquent and clever, so he said something. Today, Wang Chengyilang came to the mansion because he thanked him. Chong recommended him because of his talent, but he did not come to him."

Li Yuanai could understand and said, "Your recommendation is selfless, but if he doesn't know how to cherish and seize this opportunity, it is not suitable for this officialdom."

Different origins and different fates.

It was also Li Yuanai who had a good life and had time traveled to become a prince, so he didn't have to worry about trivial matters.

Otherwise, how could it be so comfortable?

It’s not that he has experienced it. His carefully designed engineering drawings are treated like toilet paper by those who come to the door.

The two of them came to the living room together. There was a scholar from more than thirty rooms standing in the living room. However, unlike ordinary scholars, they were tall and had big hands and feet, and they were obviously also a trainee.

When he saw Changsun rushing in, he hurriedly said, "I have met the secretary!"

Changsun Chong introduced Li Yuanai beside him.

Wang Xuance hurriedly said, "I have seen the King of Shang, but I don't know that the King of Shang is also in the mansion. Xuance is frightened."

"It's okay!" Li Yuanai waved his hand casually.

Changsun Chong greeted Li Yuanai to take his seat.

Although Changsun Chong was the master, Li Yuanai was the prince of the current dynasty and was given the master position.

Changsun Chong and Wang Xuance were each in the seats.

Changsun Chong said, "The King of Shang is quite curious about the matter of India, so I will come to see you. If you go to India, you can give the King of Shang some Indian specialties, which is also your luck."

Wang Xuance naturally agreed.

With this episode, the topic of the three people naturally revolved around Tianzhu.

Li Yuanai was stunned at this moment. He had no interest in the country either being conquered or being beaten or being conquered. Only Wang Xuance himself was interested in it.

After finding an excuse, Li Yuanai shifted the topic to Xuanzang and asked, "I wonder how Master Xuanzang is now? Has the translation of the Tao Te Ching been done?"

Wang Xuance snorted and said, "Master Xuanzang is so terrifying now. He is a Buddha born in all families. He is admired by the saints and worshipped by the children of all Buddhists in the world. He is really powerful and has ascended to heaven. I really regret that he wrote to the court..."

Li Yuanai frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? But what happened?"

Wang Xuance said: "Because Xuanzang returned to Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished. In the capital, monks gathered, and conflicts occurred frequently between Buddhism and Taoism."

Li Yuanai smiled and said, "This is normal. People fight for one breath, Buddha fights for one stick of incense!"

Wang Xuance immediately responded, "Your Highness the King of Shang is not aware that some monks are the most arrogant when they come in. Especially Xuanzang's disciples gathered in public to fight. They even threatened their wife and daughter and forced them to rob them."

"This matter is serious?" Li Yuanai asked with a dark face.
