Datang Live Room

Because he told Journey to the West in the past, but all the background about the Tang Dynasty was erased by him.

It is probably a story about a monk who went to Tianzhu to seek Mahayana Buddhism and encountered spirits along the way.

But a young monk from Daci'en Temple took it seriously.

Xuanzang, who was born in 602 and was only in his twenties, was also very passionate. He felt that there were too many Buddhist sects in the Tang Dynasty at this time.

So I really plan to go to Tianzhu to study Mahayana Buddhism.

Li Shimin's family believed in Taoism. How could he be given any customs clearance document to bring Buddhism back and spread it?

Therefore, Xuanzang did not have any customs clearance documents signed by Li Shimin in his hand, so the journey to the west was smooth.

But when they arrived in Gaochang, they were detained.

Speaking of Gaochang Ju Wentai, in fact, the king who actually sworn sworn sworn relationship with Tang Monk in history was him, not Li Shimin.

At that time, Xuanzang passed through Gaochang on his westward journey. Witnessed by his mother, Princess Zhang, Qu Wentai and Xuanzang married Jinlan, and soon they ceremoniously sent him off to continue his journey to the west.

Before leaving, Qu Wentai made a suggestion, asking Xuanzang to stay in Gaochang for three years when he successfully obtained Buddhist scriptures and returned to the east, and accepted donations from the people of Gaochang.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Ju Wentai took his wife to Chang'an to pay homage to Li Shimin. Li Shimin also gave his wife the surname Li and the title of Princess Changle.

But after he returned, he turned to the Western Turks and began to plunder the caravans of the Tang Dynasty heading west, and joined forces with the Western Turks to invade Yiwu.

In the end, Li Shimin sent Hou Junji to kill him.

Yan Kai felt that he was kind to Xuanzang because he still wanted to have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty at that time.

But now history has changed, because the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty earlier, so the Western Turks also moved westward earlier, strengthening their control over the northwest of the Tang Dynasty.

As a result, Gaochang State was hostile to Datang at this time.

That's why Xuanzang was detained.

Not only was Xuanzang detained, but according to Daozheng, a large number of westbound caravans were also detained there.

As for Monk Daozheng, it was because the Da Ci'en Temple was basically empty and he was really desperate that he remembered Yan Kai. I heard that he was still serving as the magistrate of Kuoding County and was doing very well.

I came here because I was in urgent need of medical treatment. I hope Yan Kai can find a way to rescue or redeem Xuanzang.

"Ju Wentai is going to cause trouble!" Yan Kai muttered. You must know that in the "sheep-eating people" plan that Zheng Zhixun plans to implement in Chang'an, one of the dumping grounds for wool products is in Persia.

The location of Gaochang is the throat of the westbound passage.

At that time, Li Shimin sent Hou Junji to destroy him because he had blocked the Tang Dynasty's westward passage after turning to the Western Turks.

So this brother is looking for death in a hurry?

In fact, Yan Kai didn't care whether Tang Seng was detained or not.

All Yan Kai cares about is this westbound passage.

He did not think that Tang Monk's return from Tianzhu and the establishment of Faxiang Sect would be of much benefit to the people of Tang Dynasty.

Of course, he is not opposed to the spread of Buddhism. As long as these monks can be honest and don't do other bad things, he doesn't bother to care.

"Hey, this is the place, it's a little too far!" Yan Kai sighed, the current traffic is really inconvenient.

Not to mention there are planes, even if there is a highway, he can send people to Gaochang now to bring disaster.

After shouting that it was time to rest, Yan Kai called Li Chengqian aside and first analyzed the importance of Gaochang's position to him.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian said with a serious face: "In that case, then destroy Gaochang!"

Yan Kai was stunned after hearing this. He just mentioned the importance of Gaochang's position. How could the seemingly humble Li Chengqian be so decisive? He is worthy of being Li Shimin’s son!

It seems that as long as he keeps his legs and his sexual orientation is normal, there will be no problem in being his successor.

"I will write to my father right now, explaining the importance of Gaochang and asking him to send troops!"

Yan Kai nodded and said: "Okay, please tell Your Majesty when Cheng Qian submits the letter, just say that the people in Kuoding County like to eat raisins from the Western Regions. If possible, Kuoding County is willing to send an expeditionary force there."

Li Chengqian was overjoyed after hearing this. Although Kuoding's army was small in number, its combat power could be said to be the highest in the Tang Dynasty. Especially their siege methods were invincible.

I heard that there is a locust plague this year. I wonder if the logistics are tight and whether they can support the army to go. But if they are willing to go, it will be much easier.

"Your Highness, Mr. Yan, the Tang Dynasty is thousands of miles away from Gaochang, and it costs a lot of money to send an army there. Why not send a letter to warn them first!" Kong Yingda said at the side.

This old man's thinking is quite traditional. If he thinks he can make peace, he can make peace.

Although Yan Kai felt that for such a small and capricious country, just making peace would not have much effect.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give Kong Yingda some face.

"That's fine, lest we send troops out of nowhere, I'll write a letter. Don't say it was unforeseen!"

After speaking, he asked someone to bring a pen and paper, wrote a few big characters on the paper, and handed it to Li Chengqian proudly: "His Royal Highness, you can send someone to give this to the King of Gaochang first."

Li Chengqian looked at it for a while and said with some embarrassment: "Chengqian has little talent and knowledge. I don't know what Mr. Yan wrote..."

Yan Kai looked at the sky at 45 degrees: "Xuan Zang is my beloved relative and friend, either let him go or I will bring someone over!"

At this moment, Yan Kai felt that he was terrifyingly strong!

Li Chengqian looked at Yan Kai with some admiration. Although the word was ugly, his words were quite domineering and had the demeanor of a great nation.

"Mr. Yan...Hey!" Kong Yingda also wanted to say that if Yan Kai was so provocative, how could he let him go?

But when I thought about it, I still gave up on Li Shimin's advice.

After Li Chengqian waited for the ink to dry, he put the words in an envelope and sealed it, and then asked his followers: "The officials from the East Palace who followed me this time have a county magistrate who came up from Huangshui in Rongzhou. What is his name? I remember him. His specialty is his familiarity with the languages ​​of the Western Regions.”

"Returning to the crown prince, Prince Zhongshe Wang Xuance once served as the magistrate of Huangshui County in Rongzhou. He is indeed proficient in the languages ​​​​of various countries in the Western Regions."

"Okay, then let him go!" Li Chengqian waved.

Yan Kai was slightly startled when he saw the attendant carrying his own name out. Why did he feel that he heard a somewhat familiar name?

Wang Xuance?

Wang Xuance!

That's right, the only person with this name who once served as the magistrate of Huangshui County in Rongzhou is Wang Xuance!

Historically, he served as deputy envoy to Tianzhu in the 17th year of Zhenguan, but there are not many records of his earlier experiences.

It turned out to be in the prince's residence?
