Li Er was furious when he heard this, and he yelled: "What a Qu Wentai, who is so small, who gave them the courage to detain a person from the Tang Dynasty going west? Put it in your eyes!"

All the ministers were also shocked when they heard the words.

Qu Wentai from Gaochang Kingdom, who doesn't want to live anymore.

How dare you touch Datang's tiger beard at this time, really think that Datang is made of mud?

"Your Majesty, Gao Chang's move has already violated the majesty of our Tang Dynasty. I think we should immediately dispatch troops to suppress Gao Chang." Changsun Wuji immediately took a step forward and said.

Fang Xuanling also stood up immediately, filled with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, Xuanzang's journey to the west represents the face of our Tang Dynasty, but at this time he was detained by Qu Wentai. This is because he treats me as nothing in the Tang Dynasty, so we must not let him off lightly. "

The words fall.

Cheng Yaojin was also angry, cursing and yelling: "Qu Wentai, this guy is really a daring dog, Your Majesty, why don't you send me, Old Cheng, I will cut off the head of this bastard."

Yu Chigong nodded, "That's right, I'm also willing to invite troops from His Majesty to attack Gaochang in one fell swoop, rescue our Tang troops, and show off our power in the Tang Dynasty!"

Su Dingfang was also anxious.

He had a very close relationship with Wang Xuance, who was detained in Gaochang when he was in Xuanzang's westbound team.

Fear is in danger.

A group of generals spoke out one after another.

This Gaochang dared to detain their troops when the Tang Dynasty was so prosperous.

It simply ignores them.

Listening to what the postman said, Qin Mu finally remembered this.

Historically, Qu Wentai actually detained Xuanzang.

He forgot about it.

Although the history of Datang has changed slightly because of his arrival.

But some things still seem to be happening.

Li Er listened to the indignant words of the crowd, nodded his head heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then I will repair a letter and send it to Gaochang, so that Qu Wentai can release him to make amends, otherwise the Tang cavalry will crush him Gaochang."

Now the Tang Dynasty is powerful and powerful, deterring all countries in the world.

How could it be possible for such a tiny country to overwhelm its prestige.

It would be fine if Qu Wentai knew the fun, but if he didn't know the fun, he wanted to fight Datang.

Just to try the fighting power of Datang's army after rectification.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All the courtiers spoke out one after another.

Li Er nodded slightly, "My dearest ministers, is there anyone who is willing to go to Gaochang as an envoy?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your majesty's worries. When I go to Gaochang, I will surely rescue everyone in the Tang Dynasty safely." Changsun Wuji said first.

Fang Xuanling was also not to be outdone, "Your Majesty, this minister is also willing to share His Majesty's concerns and go to Gaochang. This time, I will definitely praise my Tang Dynasty's majesty and teach Gaochang a lesson."

Afterwards, a few more people spoke up one after another, all willing to go to Gaochang as an envoy.

In their view, this trip to Gaochang has certain risks.

But now that the Tang Dynasty is powerful, Qu Wentai did not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, this mission must be an outstanding achievement.

can be recorded in history.

When everyone was arguing, Qin Mu stood up abruptly and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I request to go to Gaochang as an envoy."

He didn't care what happened to Xuanzang.

But his brother Wang Xuance is in Gaochang.

Qu Wentai was originally a lackey of the Western Turks, but this time, he wondered if there was any shadow of the Western Turks.

When Qin Mu finished speaking.

The debate in the court suddenly fell silent.

If Qin Mu wanted to fight, they would not be able to grab it no matter what.

not to mention.

As long as there is Qin Mu, no matter what Qu Wentai has in mind, he will not be able to stir up trouble.

It was rare for Qin Mu to take the initiative.

Li Er was overjoyed and readily agreed, "Okay, this time Qin Mu will go to Gaochang as an envoy."

"I will transfer you three thousand Xuanjia troops, and rush to Gaochang immediately. If Qu Wentai refuses to listen, then his head will be chopped off."

Chapter 4 and Seven: Qu Wentai Persuaded (2/5)

Gaochang country.

Royal Palace.

Qu Wentai set up a luxurious banquet for Wang Xuance and Xuanzang.

It has been five days since they were detained at No.30 in Gaochang.

Although the postmen moved quickly, it was much too late when they arrived in Chang'an.

Xuanzang was sitting at the table frowning at this moment, with a somewhat anxious expression on his face.

There are fragrant and delicious delicacies on the table, which are extremely rich.

however.

Xuanzang didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, he just chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, and lightly twisted the round beads in his hand.

They traveled westward all the way, with the support of Wang Xuance and others, plus the great kindness of Tang Dynasty.

This road is unimpeded.

Unexpectedly, they were detained in Gaochang Kingdom by this Qu Wentai, it is extremely shameful.

Xuanzang was cautious, he only hoped that Datang would receive the news sooner and send people to rescue them.

Otherwise, all previous efforts in this westward journey will be in vain.

But compared to Xuanzang, Wang Xuance is quite different.

at this time.

On the table in front of Wang Xuance, there were not only Gaochang delicacies, but also fine wines.

If it wasn't for Wang Xuance's stern refusal, there might still be beauties accompanying her.

Because Wang Xuance knew that if Qu Wentai dared to detain them, he was simply seeking his own death, so there was no need to worry about anything else.

Since Qu Wentai wanted to make a contribution to the expansion of Datang's territory, he couldn't stop him.

Why not give him this chance.

Although Qu Wentai didn't know that Wang Xuance missed him so much.

But he didn't treat Wang Xuance badly, and kept offering him delicious food and drink.

Because Qu Wentai didn't dare to offend the current Tang Dynasty.

Even if Datang knew what he did, he knew that he didn't hurt these people.

Li Er wouldn't do anything to Gao Chang, at most he would just pay some courtesy.

but.

Qu Wentai looked at Xuanzang who was silently chanting at this time, but his eyes were cold.

It was no longer the humble look of ten days ago.

Qu Wentai felt more and more that Xuanzang didn't know how to flatter them. He treated them so favorably, yet he still didn't give him a good face.

Gaochang Kingdom was originally the country with the highest degree of Sinicization among the countries in the Western Regions.

King Qu Wentai even regarded Buddhism as his own belief.

And Xuanzang traveled westward all the way, with profound Buddhist teachings, he is a rare Buddhist master.

Naturally, he was favored by King Qu Wentai of Gaochang.

The reason why Qu Wentai detained Xuanzang and others was that he wanted Xuanzang to stay in Gaochang.

Teach him the profound Dharma.

In order to be able to retain Xuanzang, make him stay in Gaochang for a long time.

Qu Wentai really put in a lot of hard work.

Through various methods, he wanted Xuanzang to act as Gaochang, the great mage in a Buddhist country with a very important status in the Western Regions.

Qu Wentai successively arranged for Venerable Master Zhuan, who was highly educated in Buddhism, and Master Guotong Wang, who was over [-] years old, to eat and live with Xuanzang, get along day and night, and asked them to try their best to persuade Xuanzang.

Persuade him to give up the idea of ​​going west to seek the Dharma, and stay in Gaochang with peace of mind.

Qu Wentai originally thought that where Jin Cheng went, gold and stone could be opened, and Xuanzang was finally feeling his sincerity.

Then he stayed in Gaochang sincerely.

however.

Xuanzang behaved politely and respectfully to Gaochang King Qu Wentai's actions, neither humble nor overbearing, and never made any concessions.

He clearly expressed that he would not change his firm attitude of going west to seek the Dharma.

Xuanzang has never been easy to handle.

He decided on one thing and would not look back.

Even though Qu Wentai tried his best, Xuanzang remained indifferent.

If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?

not to mention.

By detaining them here, Qu Wentai imprisoned their freedom, and it did not conform to the predestined relationship of Buddhism.

Thus, as time goes on.

As Qu Wentai was rejected more and more.

His patience has been worn down gradually, and he may be on the verge of breaking out.

Naturally, Wang Xuance knew what Qu Wentai was thinking, but this was not his business.

This kind of trivial matter is left to Xuanzang alone.

If one day Xuanzang decides to stay in Gaochang.

Then he is not the great master Xuanzang he once was.

Even if Wang Xuance wanted to control it, he couldn't.

At this time.

Qu Wentai suddenly raised his wine glass, and said to Xuanzang with a smile: "Master Xuanzang, don't think that I'm just a local king of a small border country. This king is also a person who has seen the big world."

"I have been to many developed areas of Shang Kingdom with the late king, and I have met many famous monks and great masters, but I have not liked them very much."

This made sense, as if telling Xuanzang, it's not like I haven't seen any great Buddhist masters.

It's just that I don't even like it. Now that I like you, that's your blessing.

You don't know what's good or bad.

.Listen to Qu Wentai's words.

Xuanzang didn't move at all, he continued to recite the scriptures, turning a deaf ear and indifferent.

Qu Wentai also knew that he would not get a response from Xuanzang, so he just raised his glass, drank it down, smiled, and continued: "My king has heard of Master Xuanzang's name for a long time, and I have been looking forward to Master Xuanzang's name for a long time. When you come to Gaochang, let me support you for the rest of your life."

"Not only that, I can not only make offerings to the Master, but I can also make the people of the entire Gaochang Kingdom be your disciples and believe in Buddhism."

"Don't look down on Gao Chang. No matter how few monks there are, there are thousands of them. I will let them all hold scriptures in their hands and be your audience."
