Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 296 The Great Novice

Throughout the ages, one of the teachings of all religious denominations is to preach.Let more people bathe in the holy light, the light of Buddha, the light of Allah, and the light of gods.

The idea of ​​preaching in a country where the state and religion are integrated is even stronger.

It has nothing to do with religion, but the rulers use and oppress ignorant people for their own desires and ambitions.Most religions have been born with no other purpose than to enable hope in the hearts of the masses.

But people all live in reality.

Later, like culture, economy, and politics, religion also became a tool for rulers.

In order to occupy the highest point of morality, the royal family of Li and Tang strongly recognized Li Er as the ancestor and made him the founder of Taoism.In order to make the people have no objection, Wu Zetian took advantage of the opportunity of the prevalence of Buddhism to declare that Maitreya Buddha was reincarnated, and vigorously supported the rise of Buddhism and overwhelmed Taoism.

As a member of the new century education, Shen Sanwen is naturally familiar with everyone's ideas.

I just don't know whether the prince is a devout believer or an ambitious ruler.

Of course, he didn't relax his vigilance because of the enthusiasm shown by the prince. God knows whether he was feigning enthusiasm to obtain more information, or he was really close to religious believers from the bottom of his heart.

We must know that when Chinese people meet old acquaintances in other places, all kinds of wonderful psychological changes will occur.

The prince said excitedly, "Great pioneers, why don't we sit down and share what we have learned along the way."

Just as he wanted, Shen Sanwen immediately agreed, and at the same time threatened the receptionist who stopped him so that he would not dare to speak again.

Shen Sanwen did not choose to go back to the post house, Lun Qinling would definitely hear the news and come as soon as possible, before he arrived, he wanted to get the information he wanted from the Dashi Prince.

The prince was secretly happy. Although the missionary and his methods were different, they had the same goal, so it would not be too difficult to communicate.

It is much more difficult for a person to actively talk to you than to knock out information from his mouth.Especially for this kind of pious believer, if he sensed his thoughts, he might keep silent.

Look now, isn't he eager to tell himself about his missionary experience?

The two sat down in a relatively secluded place nearest to the market with their own plans, and the receptionist beside them was already dripping with cold sweat. If you want to be so exciting, Qinling will have to chop off my head when he comes.God, how could he agree to such a request from the envoy of the Tang Dynasty?

If there is regret medicine in the world, he must come with two big carts!

Prince Dashi can bring the prosperity of Tubo. Although the conditions have not been negotiated, Lun Qinling has long ordered to satisfy the prince. The people in the market are very enthusiastic about them, and there will be delicious food and drink in a short time send it up.

Shen Sanwen turned around and glared at the receptionist, I've been here for so long and no one knows me, it's too much.

The receptionist wiped the cold sweat off his brow again, these two gentlemen, don't say any explosive news, his little heart can't stand the toss.

Both of them had been busy for a long time, but they were both a little hungry, but Shen Sanwen didn't start eating right away, since details determine success or failure, and he also understands the etiquette of Dashi Cultists.

Shen Sanwen closed his eyes, made a sign of the cross on his chest, and then started to move his chopsticks.

but.

The Dashi Prince did not do this.

Isn't this pre-dinner ceremony born at this time?

The prince looked at him, "Forerunner, what does this mean?"

Shen Sanwen replied without blushing, "There may be meat in it. I pray that Allah will forgive their sins and make them happy in the next life."

The prince couldn't help being shocked, my God, this pioneer can actually do this in the small details of basic necessities of life, he really is a devout believer!
So, all the people followed suit and made the sign of the cross before starting to eat.

This move also makes people no longer doubt him, and it is really touching to eat with Allah in their hearts.

Prince Dashi said emotionally, "This pre-dinner etiquette can make people never forget compassion. I believe that when it is introduced into the country, everyone will abide by it. The forerunner is really great!"

Shen San asked: "."

I just took two bites quietly and didn't speak.

It's not time for dinner, so everyone just eats some snacks.They are not of low status, and they have never eaten anything, but the person who eats with them is important, and the job is over after filling their stomachs.

The Dashi Prince came here to open up Dashi's passage into the Western Regions, and at the same time gain the support of countries that have the strength to fight against Dazhou and can help.

The forerunner is likely to be familiar with the terrain and roads of the Western Regions, so he asked, "What is the name of the forerunner? You came across the vast territory of the Western Regions?"

Speaking of this, Shen San asked if he had never been to the Western Regions in his life, let alone understand it, the ghost knows what it looks like, if he admits it, after a few questions, it will be revealed, he has to make up a route.

Shen Sanwen made up his mind and replied, "Prince, just call me a walker. I drifted over from the ocean. In the hot summer, I went down the river. After three to five months, I stopped along the coast for supplies, and finally Arrived in the distant Eastern Land Zhou."

"My God, the ferocious ocean can actually come across."

Shen Sanwen sneered at this, it’s not that the navigation technology is underdeveloped, but I have checked countless Qieryou guides, studied the pictures of the blue sea and blue sky on the Internet, mentioned the scenery on the ocean, and fabricated all kinds of thrilling biographies , that's not easy.

But now is not the time to brag, Shen San asked hastily replied, "I don't know why the prince came here, the sea is extremely dangerous, and it's not always possible to get through it safely."

The prince looked at Shen Sanwen piously, his eyes were full of yearning for heroes, "We also came here to preach, there are already many believers in Allah in the Western Regions, and Dashi hopes to establish a good covenant with the Zhou Dynasty and spread it in the Western Regions." Voice of Allah."

Shen Sanwen said in his heart, others believe in Buddhism and the local gods believe in it well, your behavior of forcing preaching will make Allah despise.

Carefully pondering his intentions, Shen Sanwen probed again, "I will go to the Great Zhou in the Eastern Land to convey the will of the Lord to Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Zhou, hoping to develop her into a believer of Allah and let the Lord's Light shines on this abandoned land."

The prince was shocked. He had a certain understanding of Da Zhou during his journey. Her Majesty the Queen claimed to be the reincarnation of a Buddhist god. If others allowed the spread of the true bishop, would his head be caught by the door? The loyal believers are indeed a bit pedantic.

"Does Master Xingzhe know the way to go here? There is still a long distance from Luoyang, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Can the master arrive safely?"

Shen San asked with a smile, "I have been preaching in this continent for almost ten years. I have traveled all over the continent, and I have made many friends and pagans. Naturally, His Royal Highness does not need to worry."

The prince was overjoyed, so he was really familiar with this continent.They came from afar, and what they need most is someone who is familiar with the local environment. Although there are many businessmen along the way, they have their own concerns, and they are not really thinking about the Dashi Kingdom. They are far less credible than the words of this master.

"Master, why don't you go to the camp of the Dashi army with me. My father has decided to use blood to wash away the sins of this continent, and to liberate these people's beliefs step by step starting from the Western Regions. Master has lived here for a long time, and he will definitely be able to point out the most suitable for the army. path of."

Shen Sanwen frowned slightly, "But, the Lord doesn't want to commit murder, will he blame us?"

The prince retorted excitedly, "For the glory of the Lord, I am willing to go to hell. I believe in the merciful Almighty Lord, who can see my achievements and sacrifices, and protect this land. All of this is worth it, for a while. The pain is for the long-term future."

you win.

Shen Sanwen was silent for a while, it seems that this is just a ruling class in the name of the Lord.

"You are right. The Lord never said that he would protect the heretics and those who should be punished. They are only looking for a better future, and the blood will wash away their sins."

The prince thought of the arrogant general in the barracks. If he persuaded a noble and great newcomer, and the news of the believers who had experience in this local life spread, which general would dare to underestimate him?
I did not expect such a surprise during my trip to Tubo.

Shen Sanwen hurriedly inquired, "I don't know why the prince appeared in Tubo, this cold and changeable plateau."

The prince approached him and said in a low voice, "Father and the head of the Holy See have already decided on the strategy of the Eastern Expedition to preach the mission. On the one hand, we must raise the weapons in our hands to cleanse them of their sins. The position of the Lord, leaving a piece of land for the Lord. This time, the prince came to Tubo for the purpose."

"Lun Qinling has arrived!"

The Tubo host shouted loudly, interrupting their whispering.

Shen Sanwen felt uncomfortable for a while, this is the key point, how did Qinling come so fast!Once the identity of his envoy is exposed, he will no longer be able to fool the prince.

Lun Qinling walked in and saw that the two were affectionate like two brothers. The Dashi Prince who had always kept a distance from the Tubo people and claimed that the Tubo people had a strange smell stood side by side with Shen Sanwen. How did the envoy do it!

You must know that they are the opponents in this competition for the Western Regions.

Lun Qinling walked in and bowed to Prince Dashi, and asked, "Is the prince's purchase finished? Who is next to Prince Dashi?"

Shen Sanwen wanted to give a thumbs up to Lun Qinling's wit, he was able to get the prince's words out easily.

The prince introduced him excitedly, as if this was the new continent he had just discovered, "This is a great forerunner, who came from the holy city of the church. In order to preach and fight against the ferocious ocean, the missionaries who came from far away are missionaries. Glory to the Holy See."

After this series of words, Lun Qinling didn't know what to say, silly boy, you have been deceived.

This even made him regret having talked with this fool for so many days. Can a prince with such an honest temperament beat the cunning Da Zhou like a fox?Looking at this IQ, he was a little worried. The prince was obviously able to accept his conditions, but he had dragged on for so long, and he didn't know if he could keep his promise.

Sad people.

Shen Sanwen smiled at him politely, "Lunqinling from Tubo, hello."

Lun Qinling felt that there was no need to reveal his identity.After being exposed, although the prince will take precautions against Shen Sanwen, the envoys of Da Zhou will hate him because of this, and Da Zhou will also hate Tubo because of it.

This prince is unlikely to be able to tell a person who has never met before the expansion plan of Dashi without reservation.

The receptionist nervously took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.Although the weather was not hot, he always felt his forehead was always cold.

Lun Qinling's acting skills are not ordinary, he stepped forward enthusiastically and bowed to Shen Sanwen, "I never thought that there would be a missionary from the great Dashi Kingdom in the territory of Tubo, who can cross the ocean, which shows that you are really a person favored by the Lord ah."

Shen Sanwen warmly returned the gift, "It is not easy for Qinling to manage Tubo in an orderly manner. If one can believe in Allah, it will surely make Tubo more prosperous."

When the Dashi Prince heard it, my God!This missionary is really a pure missionary, the spokesperson of the Lord in the world, and he always thinks about carrying forward the teachings of the Lord.

Although he believed in the glory of the Lord since he was a child, most of the time, when facing reality, he would unconsciously interpret the teachings of the Lord in his favor.And this missionary was the most loyal person to the Lord he had ever seen in his life.

When facing Tubo's Lunqin Mausoleum, he didn't panic, neither humble nor overbearing. When they only wanted to spread the glory of the Lord to the Western Regions, he thought about preaching in Tubo.

Great pioneer!
A role model for big cannibals!

However, the stupid Lun Qinling didn't care about the teachings of the great forerunner, just smiled.Prince Dashi felt that the Tubo people were really hopeless, and what an honor it was to communicate with such a noble missionary!

How stupid.

Lun Qinling first asked the person who received Shen Sanwen a question or two.

Unexpectedly, this Zhou envoy actually understood the state religion of the cannibal. Does Da Zhou understand this far away country?

However, this Dashi Prince's understanding of Dazhou was limited to listening to the nonsense of those merchants on the road, and it was not even as credible as the descriptions of the Tubo people.

There is a saying in military strategists, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.If Dazhou understands Dashi, and Dashi doesn't understand Dazhou, then half of the battle will be lost before it starts.

Does he have to reconsider the powerful relationship among them?

It was the first time that Lun Qinling paid attention to the envoy Zhou. This was an existence that princes from all over the world could admire.The person who can play the sacred music of Dashi only with the local musical instruments of Tubo attracted this group of people.

A person who understands the enemy, and can even make the enemy take the bait without realizing it.

The people sent by the Great Zhou Emperor were indeed extraordinary.

How many secrets does this envoy still have?

Seeing the annoyed expression of the prince looking at him, Lun Qinling unknowingly felt a trace of disdain in his heart. Why did he feel that this man was just a little long-winded a few days ago, but now he feels a little stupid.

But continuing to let the two communicate is obviously not good for Tubo, Lun Qinling smiled and apologized to Prince Dashi, "Because there are some troubles in the market, the market may be closed, why don't you ask the prince to go back to the post?"

Prince Dashi smiled and invited the forerunners to go together, but Shen Sanwen said that he already had a residence, and this time he only sent the prince to the residence, and he will come to visit again in the future.

The prince smiled and took him back together, Lun Qinling followed anxiously.

The residence of Dashi people was on the other side of the post house, and there was no road connecting with Zhoushi's residence on both sides. The Tubo people had a clever idea to prevent them from meeting, and even arranged for people to watch.

Shen Sanwen admired Lun Qinling.
