Emperor Zongwu: Choose the fetters of treacherous ministers at the beginning

A ragged monk walked slowly into the city.

He was alone, leading a white dragon horse, and walked all the way to Honglu Temple.

At this time, Zhao Kai was still in Huayue Palace, playing the piano with Li Shishi.

Wei Yuan came over.

"Your Majesty, a monk from the Tang Dynasty has come to Honglu Temple."

"A monk from Tang Dynasty?"

"It is said that he was an eminent monk who attained Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, his dharma name is Xuanzang, and he is also the younger brother of the Tang king Li Shimin!"

"He's the only one? Is there anything strange looking around him?"

Zhao Kai asked curiously.

"No, just himself, leading a group of white BMWs. His Majesty asked if there was anything strange around him, what should it be?"

Wei Yuan asked curiously.

"It's nothing, as long as there is nothing strange around you."

Zhao Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty should only be Master Xuanzang in history.

It's not the "Tang Sanzang" in Journey to the West.

If there were monkeys, pigs and other monsters around Master Xuanzang, then this Kyushu world would be too dangerous.

"He wants to go to Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom?"

Zhao Kai asked.

"Yes, go to the Buddhist kingdom of Tianzhu to find the true meaning of Buddhism!"

Wei Yuan nodded.

"The true meaning of Buddhism?"

Zhao Kai instantly understood what he meant.

"Does he have martial arts?"

Zhao Kai asked again.

"I have never practiced martial arts, but he does understand some special Buddhist teachings. Even a top martial artist may not be able to get close to him."

Wei Yuan replied again.

Now, Zhao Kai understood.

Master Xuanzang is walking the pure path of Buddha.

Nowadays, there are many eminent monks in the world in Kyushu.

There are also many strong people who have stepped into the Buddha realm on land.

For example, Basiba of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, the sweeping monk of Shaolin in the Song Dynasty, and the Patriarch Bodhidharma in the northern and southern chaotic regions.

It's just that these three people are all practicing martial arts, and they entered the land Buddha realm through martial arts.

For example, Li Bai, Qinglian sword fairy, uses martial arts as a fairyland on land.

Su Shi, on the other hand, became a Confucian and Taoist immortal with pure Confucianism and Taoism.

Since you can enter the realm of immortals purely by Confucianism and Taoism.

Then, purely relying on Buddhism, there is also a chance to achieve the realm of Buddha!

However, no one has done it yet.

According to Xuanzang, in the Buddhist kingdom of Tianzhu, there may be a way to achieve the Buddha's realm purely through Buddhism.

This is why he is going to Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom.

"He went to Honglu Temple because he wanted to pass the customs document."

"Let him come to see me, I want to see this eminent monk in person."

Zhao Kai said.

"Yes!"

Soon after, Master Xuanzang, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, was invited to the Shenwu Pavilion.

Seeing Zhao Kai, Xuanzang looked calm and bowed to perform Buddhist rituals.

"The poor monk Xuanzang has met His Majesty Song."

"The holy monk came from Tang Dynasty?"

"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east, and went to India in the west to worship Buddha and ask for sutras."

"It's really dangerous to travel across the sea and desert by yourself for hundreds of thousands of miles."

Zhao Kai said.

At this moment, he is using his sage pupils to carefully observe Tang Seng in front of him.

Sure enough, this eminent monk has amazing luck.

Moreover, he really has an extremely high level of Buddhism and Taoism.

Purely following the path of Buddhism, he definitely has the hope of stepping into the land Buddha realm.

Become a true Buddha!

Bodhidharma, Basiba, and 620 sweeping monks, compared with Xuanzang, are all warriors.

"It's a bit dangerous, but it's only sincere."

Xuanzang replied in this way.

"In the territory of the Song Dynasty, I can send someone to escort you to Xueliang City in the Tianshan area of ​​the Song Dynasty."

"When you get there, I will also arrange two monks in the palace to follow and escort you to Tianzhu. I don't know what the eminent monks think? The two eminent monks in my palace also have a great influence on the Buddhist Dharma inheritance of Tianzhu Buddhist kingdom. interest of."

"A few days ago, I heard from them that they also want to visit the Buddha Kingdoms in the sky. You can go together together!"

Hearing Zhao Kai's words, Master Xuanzang was a little surprised.

"Unexpectedly, His Majesty Song also attaches so much importance to Buddhism and Taoism, the poor monk is here to thank His Majesty!"

Master Xuanzang also seemed happy.

After all, when he left Datang, no monk was willing to travel with him.

Nowadays, monks in the Tang Dynasty can only rely on practicing martial arts if they want to achieve success.

Dharma is only auxiliary.

But Xuanzang is determined to embark on a brand new path!

We must rely purely on the Dharma to achieve the Dao.

Leaving Datang all the way, across the sea of ​​Kyushu, came to Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, I met like-minded people.

He was looking forward to it, and went to Xueliang City to meet the two monks.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what are the dharma names of the two holy monks?"

Xuanzang asked.

"One is the Heavenly Sea Divine Monk in my palace, and the other is his disciple, whose Dharma name is Xu Zhu!"

Zhao Kai replied.

"Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Tianhai Divine Monk. I heard that Great Song Tianhai Divine Monk has a very high level of martial arts. I never thought that he would be willing to comprehend the purest and most profound Buddhist teachings. Poor monk, I really admire it."

At this moment, Xuanzang also developed a feeling of admiration for Monk Tianhai.

Chapter 170 The Eastern Han Dynasty is about to overthrow, and the Valkyrie develops a gift package

Regarding the matter of going to Tianzhu Buddhist Kingdom to seek the true meaning of Buddhism.

Zhao Kai also used the pieces on the Shanhe chessboard to inform Monk Tianhai.

Monk Tianhai and Xu Zhu decided to wait in Xueliang City.

After Master Xuanzang arrived, they went to the Western Heaven Buddhist Kingdom to find the true meaning of Buddhism.

These three people can be regarded as like-minded people in Buddhism.

And their choice of route was to go all the way south from Xueliang City, cross the southern desert, and enter Tubo Kingdom.

First visit the Buddhist esoteric sect in the Tubo Kingdom.

After that, cross the plateau and snow-capped mountains, and enter the West Xiongnu Grassland in the south.

Kyushu has two continents, east and west.

The Eastern Continent, north of the Great Qin Dynasty, is the Eastern Xiongnu Grassland.

The Eastern Xiongnu was the most powerful opponent among the adjacent dynasties of the Great Qin Dynasty.

And in the Western Continent, south of the Great Song Dynasty, crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang or the snow-capped mountains in the southern plateau of Tubo Kingdom.

It is the Western Huns Grassland.

To the south of the Western Huns Grassland is the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, the Eastern Han Dynasty was in the west of the Western Han Dynasty.

The reason why the Western Han Dynasty is called the Western Han Dynasty is because it is located in the Western Continent, which means that it is the most powerful dynasty established by the most powerful Han nationality in Kyushu.

Self-proclaimed the head of the Han Dynasty in the Western Continent!

So it is called the Western Han Dynasty.

In the Western Continent, the Ming and Song Dynasties, which were both Han dynasties, also recognized that the Western Han Dynasty belonged to a big brother dynasty of the same origin.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was the royal branch of the Han Dynasty and was founded by Liu Xiu of the Liu family.

At that time, Liu Xiu led his troops all the way to the west to open up territories.

Killed many dynasties and foreign countries such as the Xin Dynasty, and established a powerful dynasty.

In order to distinguish the Western Han Dynasty, he named it the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It's just that the Eastern Han Dynasty has become weaker and weaker now.

Foreign relatives and eunuchs intervene in politics, the Yellow Turban Army revolts, and local tyrants recruit troops.

There is decay and darkness above the court.

It is no longer a powerful dynasty.

The chaotic situation is about to begin.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was the first stop of the Great Master Xuanzang, Monk Tianhai, and Xu Zhu after they left the Tubo Kingdom and crossed the Xiongnu grassland.

Crossing the Eastern Han Dynasty to the west, it is the chaos of the north and the south, and only further west can you reach the Buddhist kingdom of Tianzhu.

Inside the Shenwu Pavilion.

Zhao Kai looked at the map of Kyushu.

"The intelligence personnel we sent to the Eastern Han Dynasty, is there any latest news? "?"

Zhao Kai asked.

"The Eastern Han dynasty is extremely decayed. Inside the court, the great general He Jin and the ten permanent attendants are fighting for power. This dynasty may soon be overthrown!"

Wei Yuan replied.

"Your Majesty wants to plan the Eastern Han Dynasty? It's just that the Eastern Han Dynasty is too far away. It is difficult for us to overwhelm the country with troops from the Great Song Dynasty."

"I know, so, I think I can support a force that is loyal to us within the Eastern Han Dynasty! Help them compete for the Eastern Han Dynasty!"

Zhao Kai pondered for a while.

If you want to control the Eastern Han Dynasty, supporting a puppet is the best way.
