Wait a minute, does this patrol officer have anything to do with me?
It seems...it doesn't matter.
He frowned, with a strange look on his face, "Your Majesty, I'm a poor monk..."
"Brother Yu, you are wrong."
Li Erdao: "You are my sworn brother. Although you are a monk, you are also considered the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Jiang Aiqing is the inspector whom I personally pardoned. From now on, you will be like an imperial envoy, inspecting for me, so you should meet me as soon as I see you.
.”
"yes."
Li Er had spoken to this extent, so Tang Sanzang naturally couldn't ignore it.
He hurriedly bowed to Jiang Que and said, "The poor monk has met Inspector Jiang. If your Majesty can be assisted by someone like Inspector Jiang, he will definitely be able to manage the Tang Dynasty better."
In this case, he must be quite comfortable.
Ahem.
Although it was a bit against his will, Tang Sanzang felt that this was his true expression and there was absolutely no exaggeration.
Tang Sanzang was accurate in his judgment of thieves.
Absolutely right.
He saw that Jiang Que was elegant and scholarly, and that he was a person and should be a talented person.
At least.
Li Er could not be mistaken.
He Ruchu thought to himself.
only.
Jiang Chi smiled slightly, "Sanzang is overly praised, and I only have some meager skills."
It's really not a compliment.
At this time, Li Er also smiled and said: "Jiang Aiqing is a talented person, so he is naturally worthy of the post of inspector."
but.
Then Li Er changed his voice and said: "Ahem, my dear brother, there is something I hope you will understand. Although we are sworn brothers with different surnames, no one has witnessed it yet.
How about letting Jiang Aiqing be a witness?"
Tang Sanzang instinctively wanted to refuse.
I don't know how long it will take to get this done.
It's already a long way to go to the Buddha's residence in Xiling Mountain. If we delay for a while, there will be no chance.
I'm afraid it will be very long.
Thousands of miles away.
It's scary to think about it.
This distance is really too far.
therefore.
Tang Sanzang was very anxious.
He really wanted to tell Li Er that he wanted to resign from school now
But every time the words came to his lips, Li Er would pull him away and either engage in a sworn sworn ceremony or take Tang Sanzang to meet various ministers.
at the same time.
He also wanted to let countless people know that Li Er and Tang Sanzang were sworn sworn friends.
This incident caused quite a stir.
A sense of ritual is also created, which is very meaningful for people to know.
Jiang Chi, the inspection envoy, accompanied him. During this period, the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China also became aware of Jiang Chi's existence.
Everyone was a little curious about this patrolman who suddenly appeared.
He was actually able to fool Li Er.
This is rare.
Ordinary people, don't try to fool him.
You know, inspection creates positions that did not exist before.
In other words, it’s only now that Sakura
It is a new position, it can be regarded as a position specially set up for Jiang Qian, which is enough to show the great love Li Er has for Jiang Qian.
Presumably, there should be some agreement between the two people that cannot be forgiven.
Of course.
Tang Sanzang didn't know about these things.
He only knew that Jiang Chi was very strong.
All I know is that this person is highly valued by his imperial brother Li Er, otherwise he would not be pardoned and appointed as the inspector of the Tang Dynasty.
previous tense.
Li Er had already introduced it to him.
Inspection envoy was the only official position in the Tang Dynasty. As long as Jiang Qian was alive, he would not disappear.
Such a commitment.
It's not just a deep love for Jiang Chi, but also an attitude that shows Li Er's attitude.
From now on.
For several consecutive days, he held celebrations, with Jiang Que accompanying him.
Of course.
There is also Tang Sanzang, the mage of Jinshan Temple.
However, Tang Sanzang was always absent-minded, and his mind was not on this in the first place.
But I want to go west immediately to learn scriptures.
But Li Er couldn't come.
They always used various excuses to get past it. No matter how anxious Tang Sanzang was, there was nothing he could do.
Li Er can always stand from a righteous perspective, always making him lose the opportunity to refute and have no reason to refute.
Everything seemed extraordinarily peaceful.
He doesn't understand.
Also a little overwhelmed.
Half a month later.
Tang Sanzang finally couldn't help it, and said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for more than ten days now. The ceremony is over, and I have met the people I should know. I don't know when your Majesty will release me.
Go west to learn scriptures."
After all, learning from experience is a big deal.
He is very anxious.
Want to leave as soon as possible.
The purpose is just to retrieve the true scripture as soon as possible.
But the problem is.
He has no way to get it now.
Li Er would not let him go.
At this moment.
He then said to Tang Sanzang: "Sanzang, don't be anxious, it's still early.
And you are still young and have plenty of opportunities, so you don’t have to worry about time.
today.
This is a banquet specially prepared for you by the patrolling envoy Jiang Aiqing to celebrate your upcoming trip to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures. This time, not only me, but also the civil and military officials of the entire court were invited.
Do you want those civil and military ministers not to be able to see you?
You are my imperial younger brother, and I have promised you that you will go, but if you do this, it will be very difficult for me to do so."
Tang Sanzang: "..."
He wanted to ask, Your Majesty, are you serious?
Although.
A delay of one or two is nothing.
But if things continue like this, how can they bear it?
Very annoyed.
Tang Sanzang wanted to cry in his heart, but he knew that since Li Er only talked about this, there would be nothing more.
There is nothing I can do.
"Your Majesty, since you are like this, the poor monk has no choice but to go there."
It's okay if he doesn't go.
The look on Li Er's face made it clear that he wanted to go, and if he didn't go, he wouldn't go to school.
"That's good. As my imperial disciple, Sanzang, you are my brother. If you don't go, it will be too disrespectful to me."
Li Erdao: "You have to know that this is the first time Jiang Aiqing has hosted a banquet for officials. The protagonist is not him, nor me, nor the civil and military officials of the dynasty, but you."
Tang Sanzang: "..."
He always felt that Li Er was deceiving him.
But no evidence could be found.
In his opinion, Li Er and Jiang Que definitely had a purpose in taking turns to entertain him.
Tang Sanzang still had this level of understanding.
However, he can't come out directly now.
That won't work.
He felt extremely sad.
I thought to myself: "That's it, just this time. I will leave after their banquet is over."
Tang Sanzang knew it very well.
Although the banners Jiang Chi and the others used were all to curry favor with him, Tang Sanzang, they were all to please him.
After all, he is close to the Bodhisattva and also close to Li Er. It can be said that he has become the most popular person in the world in one day.
If someone wants to curry favor with someone, it seems that they have to get over it.
but.
Tang Sanzang always felt that this matter was strange.
It's a bit incredible.
In the afternoon.
Enter Jiang Chi's inspection envoy's residence.
The guests came and went like a door passing through the market, and it was very lively. It was true that there were many scholars talking and laughing, and there were no idle people coming and going.
All kinds of people are coming in and out.
As for why the banquet was arranged in the afternoon, this was also the result of Jiang Qian's careful consideration.
In the afternoon.
After eating and drinking, it was almost evening.
At this point, it was impossible for Tang Sanzang not to lose face, nor to leave arbitrarily and unreasonably.
Even if he wanted to, Li Er and the others had enough reasons to stop him, and Tang Sanzang was tempted to leave.
"Sanzang, don't look so sad."
Jiang Que said: "It's rare for us to get together, so it's right to be happy. Don't think about those unpleasant things."
"..."
Tang Sanzang's heart suddenly felt cold.
What else are you happy about?
Going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures is my highest priority.
It's a pity that in this case he can't come out directly, and it won't be easy for him to come out.
Otherwise, the impact will be huge.
He knew that Li Er and Jiang Que were doing this for his own good in some respects.
Knowing more nobles will help him promote Buddhism. Even if he gets the Buddhist scriptures back, he still needs to promote them.
Translations of works are also needed, and these things cannot be done without the support of all the nobles present.
Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to correct even one step at a time.
So Tang Sanzang fell silent.
Sometimes, as a human being, you have to face this kind of thing, because people are so sophisticated.
This is quite normal.
He had to pay attention to it, and Li Er would also ask him to pay attention to it. "I just hope that after this time, I can escape from such a sophistication, so that I can go to the West to learn scriptures."
At this time.
Just when Tang Sanzang was thinking wildly, Jiang Chi suddenly said: "Sanzang, let me ask you, what will you do after you get the scripture back?"
"Of course it is to promote Buddhism, save all sentient beings, and save people from the sea of suffering."
Tang Sanzang said without hesitation that he had really thought about this issue.
This is also the purpose and significance of his going to seek scriptures. This is why he goes to seek scriptures.
As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
"..."
Jiang Chi rolled his eyes at Tang Sanzang angrily, "Sanzang, I think your thinking is too simple and too grand."
"how?"
Tang Sanzang was puzzled. Is there something wrong with his own ideas?
He thought about it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
"There's a big problem here."
Jiang Que said: "Let me continue to ask you, if you get back the true scripture, how will you promote Buddhism?
Are you going to be a walking monk on your own and go around?
It's a thousand miles to go west to get scriptures. How much time do you need to spend on it?
When you come back, you may be very old and still need to translate those Buddhist scriptures. How can you have extra time to promote Buddhism?
Even if you can preach, how many people are there in the Tang Dynasty, can you guarantee that half of them can hear your lecture?
I'm afraid not.
Because most people can't even solve their own food and clothing problems. How can they have the opportunity to listen to your lectures?
Therefore, if you want to save the world from suffering, you are afraid that it will become a dream and come to nothing."
"..."
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he immediately panicked and said, "How could this happen? You can save all sentient beings and save them from the sea of suffering. There is nothing wrong with this."
In fact.
He already knew that what Jiang Que thought was true, and he also knew that what he said was correct.
This is a fact, a fact that Tang Sanzang has to admit.
"This is caused by low productivity."
Jiang Que explained: "If you want to solve this problem, you must teach the Dharma to those who have enough to eat and warm clothes.
Because they are nobles, wealthy people, and the ruling class, and they control most of the people in the world.
That is to say, the people of the Manchu Dynasty, if they treat their servants well, then it will be a peaceful and prosperous age; if they are not good, then it will be a chaotic age full of bones.
His Majesty's wisdom alone is obviously not enough to completely solve the problem, so he will take you to so many banquets.
We all thought that with Sanzang's intelligence and understanding, you should know the cause and effect.
Now it seems that the situation is not what we imagined.
Only if you use Buddhism to save these upper-class nobles can you give ordinary people a way to survive.
What they long for is just enough to eat, that's all."
certainly.
This is also Jiang Chi's idea.
So he synthesized it and planned to instill relevant theories into Tang Sanzang.
In fact.
In this era.
It is still under the control of the so-called scholar-bureaucrats, and it is still those high-ranking family groups.
They rule ordinary people and have certain connections with the gods and Buddhas.
Seeing Tang Sanzang deep in thought, Jiang Chian didn't feel embarrassed, "Also, these nobles are only part of the entire noble family, including the five surnames, Qi Wang, etc., they are the real controllers now.
Moreover, they have certain connections with gods and Buddhas, and they may not be saved by you, so Tripitaka, you should be very cautious about this matter."
Tang Sanzang: "..."
He suddenly felt that he was under great pressure.
