Chapter 746 Tang Xuanzang Returns to Chang'an
Tang Xuanzang straightened his monk robe and said, "Jingyang? Li is just a man without faith. I know him."

Lu Dongzan took a look, "Sometimes I don't quite understand what you said, but Zanpu values ​​you very much."

Tang Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name and said, "Thank you, Tubo Zanpu, for your care all the time."

Behind the two is a team of Tubo troops.

Among a group of Tubo people, suddenly there was a monk, very conspicuous.

When they arrived near Chang'an, Tang Xuanzang and Lu Dongzan parted ways and went all the way to Daci'en Temple on the outskirts of Chang'an.

He has been a monk for several years, and now he is over 40 years old. Looking at the temple back then, Tang Xuanzang can still think of the time when he and his presiding brothers chanted scriptures together under this simple temple. Whenever it rained, the rain would still leak .

Unexpectedly, the dilapidated temple that has not been returned for several years is already a jade masonry and carving.

From a distance, the temple is much bigger than before.

There is a feeling of being in another world, and the place is almost unrecognizable.

Walking to the gate of the temple, Tang Xuanzang looked at the desolation in front of the temple, frowning, why is it so deserted.

Even when the Daci'en Temple was in decline, there were still many pilgrims.

Now there is no one.

Walking into this temple, Tang Xuanzang explained a few words to the young monk in the temple, and only then did he meet the abbot of Daci'en Temple.

The old host was very excited when he saw Tang Xuanzang's expression. Listening to the old host's narration, Tang Xuanzang also understood what happened in Buddhism in the past six years of Zhenguan.

One of the most inescapable is the conflict between Li Zheng and Buddhism.

Tang Xuanzang couldn't hide the anger in his eyes when he heard about the collapse of several temples around Chang'an and Li Zheng asked Cheng Chumo to beat the monks.

"He Li Zheng! How dare you insult my Buddhism."

The host said: "Li Zheng has a lot of demons in his heart."

After reciting the Buddha's name, Tang Xuanzang's mood calmed down a lot.

The news that Tang Xuanzang had arrived in Chang'an after returning to Guanzhong immediately spread throughout Buddhism.

It also reached Li Shimin's ears.

Listening to Wang Ding's report, Li Shimin asked: "I thought this Tang Xuanzang would not come back."

Wang Ding said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is said that this Ci'en Temple has invited monks from all walks of life to let Tang Xuanzang preach Buddhism."

Li Shimin still stared at the memorial and asked Wang Ding in a low voice, "Do you think Tang Xuanzang will return to vulgarity if I let him return to vulgarity?"

Wang Ding was silent for a while and said: "If it is His Majesty's will, Tang Xuanzang must dare not disobey."

"Don't you dare to disobey?"

Li Shimin laughed at himself, "So I have become an arbitrary tyrant?"

Wang Ding hurriedly bowed and said, "This old slave made a mistake."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "There are some things that I think Li Zheng did not do well, but there are some things that Li Zheng is right about."

Wang Ding stood bowed and did not dare to raise his head.

Buddhism is of no benefit to the world. What that boy Li Zheng said at the beginning is not too wrong now that he thinks about it.

Buddhism can also exist, but it cannot grow.

There have long been rumors of Tang Xuanzang's deeds.

Now Tang Xuanzang has become a holy monk in the Buddhist reputation.

In addition, Tang Xuanzang traveled far away, and even made friends with Songtsan Gampo of Tubo.

So it seems that Tang Xuanzang must shoulder the heavy responsibility of Buddhism when he returns this time.

Wang Ding said again: "Lu Dongzan has arrived at the post house, and this old slave is going to arrange the affairs of Tubo."

After speaking, Wang Ding bowed and left the Ganlu Hall with small steps.

Lu Dongzan came to the post house and took a good rest for a long time, sitting outside the post house, eating mutton soup cakes, and listening to the people around him.

This is the fourth time I have come to Chang'an.

Every time I come to Chang'an, I feel that Chang'an is much more prosperous than before.

People around are talking about Tang Xuanzang.

This Tang Xuanzang really has a great reputation in Guanzhong, and it is a wise move to make friends with Tang Xuanzang.

Lu Dongzan was convinced that this time Zanpu's friendship with Tang Xuanzang was really brilliant.

In the distance, a familiar eunuch is walking over.

Wang Ding walked up to Lu Dongzan and said with a smile: "This old slave has met the Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan."

Lu Dongzan put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, is there an arrangement?"

Wang Ding said with a smile: "Your Majesty has made arrangements, and please move to Jingyang first."

Hearing that he arrived in Jingyang first, Lu Dongzan raised his trouser belt and said: "I haven't asked your Majesty of the Central Plains why he said to rush to help Tubo. A year has passed, because of the delay in sending reinforcements."

Wang Ding still smiled, "Your Majesty is very busy now, if Prime Minister wants to see His Majesty, please choose a date."

Lu Dongzan slapped the table and said, "Among you, you don't believe what you say."

Wang Ding still said: "Some people say that it is fair, please invite the Prime Minister of Tubo."

Although he was a little unconvinced, Lu Dongzan followed Wang Ding and left the post house.

Jingyang is a sad place for Lu Dongzan.

Pedestrians, vehicles and horses come and go on the newly built official road, from here you can go all the way to Jingyang.

Walking on this road, you can feel the richness, prosperity and tranquility of Guanzhong.

It would be great if Tubo could be so prosperous and peaceful.

Can't hide the loneliness in my heart.

At the end of this official road, Fangshi in Jingyang is as lively as Zhuque Street in Chang'an.

Entering Jingyang from the mountain road behind Fangshi, Wang Ding and the guards guarding the back mountain explained and entered the back mountain.

Looking at the members of the guards, Lu Dongzan still has some psychological shadows.

When he came to the stables, Lu Dongzan did not see Li Zheng, but King Wei.

Li Tai looked at Lu Dongzan and said, "Lu Dongzan, long time no see."

Lu Dongzan glanced around and saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Wei."

Li Tai also said politely: "Please sit down."

Sitting down in front of Li Tai, Lu Dongzan looked around again.

Looking at the other party's expression, Li Tai said, "Don't look, Li Zheng is not here."

Lu Dongzan looked at Wang Ding curiously.

Li Tai explained: "Li Zheng has been unwell for the past two days, and I will be the king to negotiate with your Tubo."

Lu Dongzan withdrew his gaze and said, "His Royal Highness, the 500 million contract signed and pledged by Zanpu and Li Zheng was said to be used to send troops to help Tubo. One soldier?"

Li Tai smiled awkwardly, "Master Tubo, you are new here, why don't you have something to eat first?"

"I ate it next."

"What to eat?"

"Mutton pie soup."

"Is it tasty?"

"..."

Lu Dongzan stood up and said, "His Royal Highness, do we have to talk about these irrelevant topics?"

Li Taixin said, I can't help it, Li Zheng asked me to negotiate, I have never had any experience in this field.

Lu Dongzan was about to say something more when he saw Li Tai stand up and leave.

Seeing Li Tai leave, Lu Dongzan was a little confused for a while, looked at Wang Ding and asked, "His Royal Highness, what are you going to do?"
