Nine hundred and fifty: monarchs and ministers send holy monks(1/2)
The next morning, Duan Wuji got up early. Duan Wuji ate a few bites casually and immediately rode his horse to go to the morning.
On this day, Duan Wuji brought a servant out for convenience.
Duan Wuji rode a horse, and the servant followed him trotted behind him. The master and servant rushed straight to the imperial city. The time was not too long, so the iron cow rode a horse and chased him.
"I said, brother, why are you in a hurry? I'll hurry up and catch up with you!"
"Brother Tieniu, let's hurry up! The emperor had already notified us yesterday, it would be not good to go too late!"
"Well! Well, then! Today the holy monk is going to leave the city, and the emperor is going to personally send them out of the city. This ceremony will definitely be small!
Let’s go! The three disciples of the Holy Monk were chosen by our brothers! Let’s go show your face too!”
When they arrived outside the imperial city, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu turned over and got off the horse. The two handed over the horse to the servant who was following them. The two entered the imperial city with the morning court team.
Everyone was queuing up in the Babao Golden Hall. When the time was not long, Li Shimin came to the court.
The civil and military officials had finished their worship, and Li Shimin said with a smile: "My dear friends, now my Tang Dynasty is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
The world is full of peace and harmony!
Let me tell you good news! Su Dingfang, my Su Aiqing has wiped out the tribes in the northern Mobei, and the vast northern Mobei has all belonged to my Tang Dynasty.
This time he led his troops to sweep the north and killed more than 300,000 enemies. Those hostile countries and tribes were frightened!
There is no longer a force that can fight against our Tang Kingdom.
It is said that all the kings under the world are the kings, and the kings and ministers are the kings. I think this unified dynasty will be realized in our Tang Dynasty.
Now the only forces that can compete with our dynasty are the Goguryeo and the Naxi Turkic Kingdom.
These two countries still have some strength, but compared with our Tang Dynasty, it is no longer trivial.
After a few more years of delay, I will definitely destroy the Goguryeo country first to achieve great national rejuvenation!”
After hearing this, everyone congratulated the emperor and congratulated the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!
"My lord is wise. The Tang Dynasty has been around for generations, and my lord is wise!"
Li Shimin laughed loudly after hearing this.
"I say, my dear ministers, there is nothing in the court these days. It can be said that the government is harmonious and the people are prosperous.
Today the holy monk is going west to obtain scriptures, and I promise to send them west!
My dear friends, let’s go! Follow me to see the Holy Monk!”
Li Shimin is wearing military uniform today and looks both majestic and energetic!
Li Shimin walked down from the Golden Palace and led all the officials straight to Naganlu Temple!
The emperor did not even ride a horse, so how dare all civil and military officials ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair!
Everyone followed the emperor and walked straight to the Ganlu Temple.
The team is vast and spectacular!
After arriving at Ganlu Temple, the monks in the temple came out in clean clothes.
These monks visited the emperor and then welcomed Li Shimin and officials at all levels into Ganlu Temple.
I saw that the holy monk was in his thirties and was a very smart young man.
Sun Tiansheng, Jubazi and the other three stood behind the Holy Monk, and they all showed great energy!
When Duan Wuji saw it, he saw that there were golden hoops at both ends of Sun Tiansheng's big stick.
Duan Wuji saw it and asked, "Oh! I said Sun Tiansheng, why did your big stick turn into a golden cudgel?
What's going on!"
Sun Tiansheng grinned and said, "The emperor was afraid that we would lose money on the way, so he specially put the gold on me on the weapon.
Once our lives are gone, we can make it a waste of money!
I said to Prince Duan, you see, this emperor is thinking too much!
I said idiot, and I didn’t even take your nine-toothed rake over and let Prince Duan take a look!"
Jubazi took the nine-toothed rake and shook it in front of Duan Wuji's eyes.
"I said to Prince Duan, take a closer look! The emperor said, the treasures on my old Zhu's weapons are the most valuable! The ones that burn the rake are nine gems, which are much more valuable than my senior brother's golden cudgel!
Although the weapon named Sun is gold, it is not as valuable as my gem!
My old Zhu carried it on his body, not to mention how beautiful it is!
Among the three of us, I, the nine-toothed rake, have the most treasures inlaid!
Although there are some treasures on Monk Sha’s weapon, if his Zen Staff is compared with my nine-toothed rake, it is not a little worse!
The emperor has told us that when we come back, we can calculate the wages for us, and each of us can get five taels of silver a month. After all the years, that's really a lot of money!
When the three of us come back, we will become little rich men!
I said to Prince Duan, thank you for your kindness. When I come back from obtaining the scriptures, I will definitely invite you well!"
After hearing this, Sun Tiansheng quickly said, "I'm talking about it! What I said just now should be told by me. I am the eldest brother, why did you snatch all my words?"
Zhu Bazi grinned when he heard this.
"I said my surname is Sun, who has blocked your mouth! If you don't say human words, aren't you allowed to say it?"
Sun Tiansheng bared his teeth when he heard this!
"I said you are a stupid pig who deserves to be beaten. Now you still learn to talk back to me. If it weren't for this grand occasion, let's see how I deal with you!"
"Bah! Don't think you will be amazing in two situations. If we really turn a frown, I, Lao Zhu, may not be afraid of you!"
The holy monk's face sank as he heard this.
"I said Sun Tiansheng, Jubazi, can't you two say less?
What's going on like this noisy! You two said to protect me from the West to get the scriptures! If you quarrel like this along the way, you wouldn't be annoyed to me!
Now that my Lord is going to hold a farewell ceremony for us, you two are still like this, what do you think!"
After the holy monk said this, the two of them dared not argue.
The time is not long, so the band comes over. The band plays and plays, and the straight building sends the holy monk out of the city!
The people on Chang'an Street are crowded with people! Many people are coming out to watch the fun!
These people include both princes and nobles, ordinary people, the ladies and maids, and the young masters and slaves. They really have all kinds of people!
Zhu Bazi carried a load, Sha Dahe led a horse, Sun Tiansheng carried a luggage, and the holy monk Xuanzang followed behind and came straight towards the west gate of Chang'an.
After leaving the city, Li Shimin sent them to the Ten Mile Changting before stopping!
Chen Xuanzang gave Li Shimin a deep gift!
"My Lord, I will go west now. When I obtain the scriptures, I will immediately return to the heavenly kingdom."
Li Shimin smiled slightly after hearing this.
"I said to Brother Tang Yu, how long will it take for you to return to our country this time?"
"Your Majesty, the little monk thinks that the shortest one is three years, and the longest one is five years, and the three of us masters and disciples will be back!
Of course, the west is thousands of mountains and rivers apart. I just estimate that there are more or less differences in the sky, and that is inevitable!"
Li Shimin smiled when he heard this.
"As long as Brother Tang comes back in time, that's fine!
I hope you will obtain the true scriptures and make no contributions to this Buddhist world, so as to shine on the Tang Dynasty!
Brother Tang Yu, then please get on the horse! I wish you go early and come back soon!"
Chen Xuanzang turned over and led his three apprentices to the west, slowly disappearing from the distance of the road.
Li Shimin watched them walk away before leading everyone back to the court.
When we returned to the Eight Treasures Golden Palace, we talked for a while and then we left the court!
Duan Wuji returned to the mansion and the sun was already westward. Princess Mingzhu walked in from outside with her child in her arms!
"I said to be the head of the family, today's scene is really lively!"
Duan Wuji smiled and said, "What? Could it be that you are going out to watch the fun too!"
"Oh! I said it's the head, I'll go out and see what's wrong!
Could it be that if you go there, I can’t go there! Why can’t I go there in such a lively occasion?”
"Okay! You can go, isn't it just a fun time!
Okay, let’s go to have a meal! It’s not eaten since the morning."
After lunch, Duan Wuji had nothing to do, climbed onto the table in the study and fell asleep.
Even Princess Mingzhu came in, he didn't know!
Princess Mingzhu shook her head when she saw this.
