In the following time, Zhao Kuo did not see King Ashoka.

Zhao Kuo was also very busy at this time, and he had no time to take care of Ashoka's personal feelings. It was not until a long time later that Zhao Kuo summoned Ashoka again.

"You look in a good mood."

Zhao Kuo said to Ashoka with a smile.

Today, King Ashoka is more like a monk than an emperor, but he has not completed the formal orphanage of becoming a monk.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, King Ayu smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "The light of the Buddha still shines on this world. As his devout believer, I believe that everything in front of me is just the hardship given to me by the Buddha. The Pure Land of the West is waving to me, so why should I be unhappy?"

After hearing Ashoka's words, Zhao Kuo moved for a moment and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

"If I hadn't known that you and I were the same type of people, I would have almost believed what you said."

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Ashoka smiled and said, "Actually, people will change. Can't I change?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Everyone will change, which is inevitable, but people like you and me cannot have a sudden major change in a short period of time, right?"

King Ashoka also laughed and said to Zhao Kuo very seriously: "Actually, your words are wrong, because I have experienced the destruction of the country. This is a major event that is unforgettable for me, so it is very normal to say that there are some earth-shaking changes."

When Zhao Kuo saw Ashoka like this, he did not continue to refute, but said to Ashoka: "Actually, today I'm just going to see you to see if you have been knocked down by our great Han Kingdom."

King Ashoka sighed and said to Zhao Kuo: "To be honest, it was indeed a devastating blow to me at the beginning.

I never thought that the gap between you and me was so huge.

But, after a day or two, when my willpower slowly calmed down, I could control it."

Zhao Kuo asked: "What are you talking about controlling?"

Ashoka spoke, "What I mean by control is actually to control the distracting thoughts in our hearts. Now that my country has perished and I have become a prisoner, what I do should be a prisoner. What major family and country affairs should be done? What does it have to do with a prisoner?"

After hearing Ashoka's words, Zhao Kuo also showed an expression of admiration on his face.

He could see that this Ashoka was not polite and hypocritical, but thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

This is a very rare thing, because many people can accept success, but they cannot accept failure, let alone failure that falls directly from the cloud and ends up with nothing.

Zhao Kuo said to King Ashoka: "Since you have let go, it is probably difficult for us to have a chance to meet again in the future. I want to ask if you have any wishes to come true?"

In itself, Zhao Kuo actually wanted to treat Ashoka as a tool to hone Zhao Qian's mind. Now it seems that this kind of training is time to end.

Since the training has ended, Ashoka, the tool man, has perfectly achieved his mission, and of course there is no need to meet the two of them next.

You should know that the kings Zhao Kuo captured over the years have exceeded double digits. If every king met Zhao Kuo from time to time, then Zhao Kuo would not do anything else.

King Ashoka was obviously confident and soon made a request: "I hope to meet my child Ma Xingde, and I know that he was also brought to the Imperial Capital by you."

Zhao Kuo slapped his thigh and said, "I almost forgot if you don't say this. Let's do this. From now on, you two father and son will live together. What do you think?"

Ashoka smiled and nodded and said, "If this is the case, it would be better."

Later that day, Ashoka met his son Ma Xingde in the mansion assigned to him shortly.

As soon as Ma Xingde saw King Ashoka, he knelt down with a plop: "Father."

King Ashoka looked at the son in front of him, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he sighed and said, "Thank you so hard for all these years."

Ma Xingde also had red eyes and said, "There is a Buddha protecting his son. Son is not hard, but you, Father..." Ashoka smiled slightly, touched Ma Xingde's bald head, and said, "This is the Buddha's test for us. I firmly believe that as long as you and my father and son will definitely have a place in the Pure Land in the future."

Ma Xingde nodded heavily.

The father and son sat opposite each other, and when they talked about their experiences these days, they were both quite emotional.

Ma Xingde told King Ashoka with some trepidation that he had summoned all living Buddhas to meet and assisted the Han Kingdom in revising various laws on believers, and then said: "I don't know if this is right or wrong."

Ashoka smiled gently and said, "You are right to do this."

The Buddha said that when faced with hardships, we must learn to be patient.

Now that the Han Kingdom has conquered our country, they will inevitably bring their rules over. This is a normal thing.

As ruled people, we naturally need to take the initiative to cater to them, otherwise, if they persecuted us believers, we would be very sad."

Ma Xingde sighed, "Of course my son knows this truth, but I don't know if the Buddha will blame him."

King Ashoka smiled and said, "If the Buddha wanted to blame him, then you would have received retribution long ago.

Don't worry, since you have arrived in this new city, you should leave everything there, concentrate on spreading the glory of Buddha here, and develop more believers.

In this way, even if you really make some mistakes and have other believers testify and guarantee you, you will definitely be forgiven by the Buddha and eventually enter the Pure Land."

After hearing Ashoka's words, Ma Xingde undoubtedly gained more confidence and said seriously: "What the father said is very true, the child will definitely do it well."

King Ashoka smiled and said, "I have seen the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he is a very wise person, so you must remember my words."

From now on, Buddhism can no longer be Buddhism of the Mauryan Dynasty, but Buddhism of the Han Dynasty.

When you can figure this out, then when will our Buddhism be truly safe?"
