Chapter 1825 Xuanzang's Mission (1)
"The people of my Tang Dynasty are actually the most easily fooled group. Although primary education is popularizing now, they are still too ignorant and easily deceived." Li Chengqian stood at the door of the study and looked into the distance, his voice looking very empty.
"But what does this have to do with opening the palace?" Xiaobai continued to ask.
"The more you hide anything, the more curious you make people curious, and the more curious you are, the more you want to explore it." Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Bai Yuening and said, "Are you also curious about this time before entering the palace? Are you also guessing how many steamed buns the emperor would eat every day?"
Bai Yuening lowered her head awkwardly. In fact, she had indeed guessed this way, and she even thought about whether the emperor would not have to shit.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian did not ask her to answer this question. After a brief pause, he continued to say, "Opening the palace does not mean that the people can go anywhere. I just want the people to understand what the imperial city looks like and how major institutions work. I want them to know that in fact, there is no difference between the emperor and them."
"The Tang Dynasty is very big, and there are many people with ulterior motives. Instead of letting them talk about me outside, I will open my mind and let the whole world see what kind of person I am!"
"Your Majesty is wise! Long live my emperor." Ma Zhou's voice came from behind Li Chengqian. The guy just came in from outside and heard someone's voice and flattered him on the spot.
"Okay, get up, don't pretend to be timid. I know you are not that kind of person." Li Chengqian turned around again, looked at Ma Zhou who was standing outside the door and said, "I won't talk well one by one."
Ma Zhou smiled embarrassedly, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have done this too hasty and didn't say hello to everyone in advance."
"This palace is my own home. What's wrong with the opening of every ten days?" Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, turned around and walked into the room, and said angrily, "Don't tell me what the Tian family is selfless. If you dare to say that I will beat you up."
"Your Majesty, I am not talking about this." Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "I mean, at least you can say it in advance. Wei Weiqing and the others are also mentally prepared to arrange the guards in the palace in advance. Also, those old men are actually afraid that some people will go out to chew around after the palace ban is opened and deliberately exaggerate. If that is the case, wouldn't His Majesty's plan be ruined?"
"I have a big plan. You guys know how to think about it all day long... Forget it, I can't explain this to you!" Li Chengqian said ill words, turned around and wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
Li Chengqian actually didn't care that someone was talking bad about him outside. This kind of thing actually happened every day. After all, he was just an ordinary person, not a piece of gold that everyone would like. So he didn't expect everyone in the Tang Dynasty to say that he was good. As long as they could think about the Tang Dynasty, don't always think about taking advantage of the country, Li Chengqian was already very content.
The reason why he wanted to open the palace was just to tell the outside world a wide-opening and unself-enclosed attitude.
But what he is doing now is that it can be done but not said. If he understands it, he will inevitably get a review of seeking fame. So Li Chengqian was so angry that he had no place to make a comeback, so he had to vent his anger on Ma Zhou.
Ma Zhou was frightened by Li Chengqian's scolding and shrank his neck, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die."
You know, although Li Chengqian just said casually, his words meant to be falsely judging his intentions. He pulled Ma Zhou out and chopped him up and no one could find any problem.
Seeing Ma Zhou's fearful look, Li Chengqian sighed helplessly, raised his hand and pointed to the door of the study room, "Forget it if you die ten thousand times, I don't believe you can die ten thousand times. If you have the will, go and handle this matter. Remember, on New Year's Eve, I want to have fun with the people!"
Ma Zhou licked his lips and responded with a tough bullet, "Yes!"
"Yeah, go!" Li Chengqian waved his hand.
Looking at Ma Zhou's back as he left, Li Chengqian felt that this emperor was quite tired.
I didn’t know the importance of fame before, and I always felt that the old man was a little too nitpicky. Now that I became the emperor, I finally know that sometimes fame is actually quite important, and I can’t say I don’t want it.
...
Tianzhu Dao, the newly established Taoist in the Tang Dynasty, is also the largest one. Li Chengqian actually wanted to change it to the name Save, but a group of old guys disagreed and it ended up leaving nothing.
After taking the train for half a month, Xuanzang arrived at the destination of Qunun City, the destination of this trip.
As soon as he got off the train, the old monk was stunned by everything in front of him. They were countless wooden boxes, each of which was one meter square, with a seal on it, with the words "Buddhist scriptures" on it. A guy in a uniform was directing the Indians to carry it to the car, "Hurry up, you lazy guys, come and load the car quickly, and the car will be set off soon. If you delay the matter, you will be deducting your wages for half a year."
"This donor, please ask, is it all Buddhist scriptures?" Looking at the boxes piled up together, Xuanzang's scalp was faintly numb. He quickly stepped forward and sang the Buddha's name to the guy in the stationmaster's uniform and asked.
The webmaster who was directing the workers to carry the boxes looked at the old monk Xuanzang. Seeing that he was a Tang Dynasty man, his face looked a little better, he smiled and replied, "Isn't it just a Buddhist scripture? General Yuchi has almost emptied all the Buddhist scriptures in India. This should be the last batch."
"So many Buddhist scriptures have been sent back to the Tang Dynasty?" Xuanzang asked with one ten thousand hope.
"That's right? I heard that there was a great monk from the Tang Dynasty who walked tens of thousands of miles to India for these Buddhist scriptures. Unfortunately, if that monk waited for a few more years, why would he have to go so far? Just take the train for half a month and arrive, and there is no risk yet."
The webmaster was also a vernacular person. When he saw someone talking to him, he immediately started to nag endlessly. He didn't notice that Xuanzang's face was no longer much better than pork liver.
Looking back on the tens of thousands of miles of journeys that had gone through so much hardship, sleeping in the open and almost killed by robbers several times, Xuanzang also felt that it was a bit worth it.
But who can I blame this? The old monk insisted on leaving by himself, but no one forced him.
Fortunately, he finally saved his life in the end and did not fall on the road to the west. He could even freely travel between Chang'an and Qunnu City. This was already very good for Xuanzang. At least everything he needed was already obtained. Why bother to worry about what the process looked like?
