Outside the council hall, Hou Junji knelt outside the door with the guilt of asking for guilt, and the people who came and went were surprised when they saw it, and they had the heart to watch but did not have the courage, because at this time the emperor was dealing with official business inside.

About an hour later, a majestic voice came from inside: "If you are tired of kneeling, come in, how dare I snub the heroes?" ”

"The last general sent troops without authorization, resulting in the loss of troops, although ten thousand deaths are not redeemed!" Hou Junji said loudly.

"Since it's a business matter, let's come in and make it clear, who is the guilt for?"

Soon the door of the palace opened, and the inner chamberlain Lao Gao walked out quickly to help Hou Junji up and bring him in, and Hou Junji found that there was only His Majesty inside, and there were no other courtiers.

"General Hou, the navy raised the prestige of our country in the first war, and slaughtered all the navy of the Ring Sun Dynasty, and I am thinking about how to reward you." Li Er said.

Hou Junji knelt down again: "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"Oh? What are your sins? Li Er said with a smile, and Hou Jun didn't dare to raise his head.

"It is a capital offense to use troops without a king's order."

Li Er laughed and stood up, then stepped forward and pulled up Hou Junji with his own hands, and opened his mouth to persuade: "The general will not be subject to foreign military orders, how can I be the kind of mediocre lord?" The fact that you can strengthen our navy through combat shows that I am not wrong, and I will not mention other trivial matters.

It's just that you should also learn a lesson, although you are a famous general in a hundred battles, but the first time you carelessly lost the army, we lost more than 10,000 people, my heart aches! In the future, when marching and arranging, you should learn to be humble. ”

Hou Junji said yes again and again, both the monarch and the minister knew that this was the emperor's mental trick, and Yan Yan no longer cared about the crime of private soldiers, in fact, the emperor had already punished, and the hour before he returned was not only for the ministers to look at, but also for the emperor to beat Hou Junji, so that he should not be too arrogant.

"After the decision of the imperial court, the naval officers and men will still be rewarded and compensated, but you, the great general, will not be held accountable for their merits and demerits, I am ashamed, I didn't expect that one day I would let my generals be rewarded without merit."

"Your Majesty is serious, the last general knows that the responsibility for this crime is not small, and it is already an extrajudicial favor to be able to offset the merits and demerits, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything else, as long as he still lets the last man continue to lead the navy out to fight." Hou Junji said respectfully.

Li Er smiled heartily: "You are a militant, tell me in detail about the beginning and end of this expedition to Tianzhu Kingdom, since I became this position, I feel more and more constrained, and I miss the pleasure of galloping on the battlefield back then." ”

The two of them had a long conversation in this council hall, Li Er was very interested in the Tianzhu Kingdom, and the Western Turks didn't want to move for the time being, and it was also a good thing to know that there was another big country adjacent to the Tang Dynasty in the world.

A month later, a person came to the gate of Chang'an City, no, it was a group of people, a group of cars and horses, and strange clothes, which was very eye-catching.

"Who's coming? What's on the horse? The guards stepped forward and asked.

"Amitabha, poor monk Xuanzang, Zhenguan left Chang'an West to worship the Buddha in the second year, and now more than ten years have passed, and finally returned to Chang'an, and I hope that this general will allow me to enter the city to meet Your Majesty."

The young general guarding the city came over to take a look, okay, it's really a bald monk, but what qualifications do you, a monk, have to go to see Your Majesty? What a big breath?

Obviously, this young general was born late, and he didn't know that Xuanzang was sent by the emperor back then.

"Monk? Since it is a returned monk, then you should go to your monk temple to settle down, there is no Buddhist temple in Chang'an City, and now there are only two monks in Wutai Mountain and Shaolin Temple in Datang.

As for seeing Your Majesty? Monk, I'm afraid you don't have this qualification yet, leave quickly, don't block others from entering the city. ”

When Xuanzang heard this, he sighed in his heart, Buddhism has declined to this point? Even the Wuchuan Temple, a famous gathering place for nobles in Chang'an City, does not exist?

"Amitabha, the general misunderstood, the poor monk knew His Majesty, and when the poor monk left Chang'an, His Majesty sent him out of the city."

What a big breath, you ......

Just wanted to say a few foul words, the young general suddenly thought to himself, if this is really an acquaintance of His Majesty, wouldn't he be a mistake? Then he could only say a word of waiting, and then sent someone to report to the general on duty.

"Report, Your Majesty, the general guarding the city came to report, saying that there is a monk named Xuanzang at the west gate who has asked to see Your Majesty." The chamberlain Lao Gao reported to Li Er.

"Who? Monk? Xuanzang? Which Xuanzang? Li Er didn't think about it for a while, it has been several years since Bai Fan fought Buddha to destroy the Buddha, and the Tang people no longer burn incense to worship the Buddha and even no longer mention Buddhism, so Li Er also diluted his impression of Buddhism.

Lao Gao explained: "Listening to the description of the general guarding the city, it should be that in the second year of Zhenguan, His Majesty personally sent out to worship the Buddha in the west to ask for scriptures, saying that he came back from learning scriptures. ”

"Oh? Master Xuanzang? That's a promising monk, when he was young he made a grand wish to get the sutra to bring back to Mahayana Buddhism, I was moved by his perseverance and perseverance, and once summoned him and gave him a ride, I didn't think that for more than ten years, he really succeeded in coming back.

Tell me if this old man has cultivated the legendary golden body. Li Er was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to pass it on.

As an emperor, it seems that the biggest hobby is to like to see strange things, after all, I can't go out and see it with my own eyes, and it's good to have someone to tell me.

Soon Xuanzang, who was in the dust, was taken to the palace council hall, "The poor monk Xuanzang visited Your Majesty, and I wish Your Majesty ten thousand years." ”

"Haha, don't come unharmed, it's been more than ten years since I didn't want to say goodbye, look at the master's bearing, sure enough, I have the demeanor of a monk, I am beginning to be interested in your westward journey."

Xuanzang took out a roll of brocade silk from his sleeve and handed it over, "The poor monk has nothing to gain all the way west, so he can only record the customs and customs along the way to make a diary, since His Majesty is interested, then give it to Your Majesty." ”

"Oh? Well, well, the master is really my confidant.

I heard from his subordinates that the master retrieved the true scriptures this time and achieved positive results? I don't know what difficulties I will have when I return to China this time? Say it, I can help. "After receiving a gift from others, Li Er naturally wants to reciprocate, which is exactly the effect that Xuanzang wants.

Xuanzang combined the eleventh ceremony: "Amitabha, the poor monk is a monk and does not care about those secular rites, only one wish, that is, this time to bring back the Mahayana Buddhism Sutra Sanzang, which needs to be translated as soon as possible and passed on to the people who worship the Buddha in the country, so as to guide the people to get rid of suffering and move towards the light as soon as possible."

When I entered the city, I heard that there was no Buddhist temple in Chang'an City, so I wondered if His Majesty could help the poor monks find a place to live? ”
