Qunv City was located in the center of the Jieri Dynasty. It was the center of northern Tianzhu. The center of the Gupta Dynasty used to be Hua City in the south. After the King of Jieri won the war, he moved the center of the dynasty to the north.
Qunv City was built in the end.
Inside the palace of Qunv City.
A man in his forties sat at the head of the palace. His clothes were luxurious and were made of the finest silk. He was also wearing jade bracelets, earrings, bracelets, neck pearls, and so on. His splendid attire was extremely dignified.
This was the King of Jieri.
He was the most powerful man in the Jieri Dynasty. The King of Jieri succeeded the throne at the age of seventeen and became the king of the Jieri Dynasty. He had been in power for nearly twenty-six years. Under his rule, the Jieri Dynasty was so powerful that it had taken over the entire northern region of Tianzhu.
The King of Jieri had been working hard and the lives of the people were relatively easy.
The King of Jieri had summoned Xuanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty. This monk from the Tang Dynasty was only in his early thirties. He had come from the north and was praised by the kings of every country he passed. Even the monks in the temples respected Xuanzang and thought that Xuanzang was a master of Buddhism.
The King of Jieri didn't plan to summon Xuanzang, but news came from the north that Du Qi, the Pacifying West Lord of the Tang Dynasty, had declared himself the Emperor of the Western Region. Even the Great Tang of the Celestial Empire had been defeated by Du Qi.
That was why the King of Jieri wanted to summon Xuanzang. He wanted to know more about Du Qi.
He wanted to know what to do.
"Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty has arrived!"
At this moment, the voice of a chamberlain came from outside the palace. After that, a middle aged man that was more than eight feet tall, had a cultured and refined appearance, and a firm and bright gaze walked in with large strides.
This person was none other than Xuanzang.
His clothes were very ordinary. They were the simplest of coarse hemp clothes. However, as soon as he appeared in the main hall, even though Xuanzang's appearance was not particularly handsome, it was as if everyone's focus was on him.
The King of Jieri had been in power for decades and had seen countless people. But when he saw Xuanzang, he did not have any bad feelings. There were only four words in his heart to describe Xuanzang — Genial spring breeze!
The man in front of her was as warm as the spring breeze.
It gave people a good impression of him.
According to history, when Xuanzang first arrived in the Jieri Dynasty, the King of Jieri did not receive him. Although Xuanzang had a certain amount of influence in Tianzhu, that was all there was to it.
Xuanzang became famous in Tianzhu after he arrived at the center of Tianzhu's Buddhism, Nalanda Temple. After five years of hard work, he began to travel around Tianzhu. He traveled all over Tianzhu, visited all the temples, and studied Buddhist scriptures. After four more years of hard work, Xuanzang finally had an unparalleled influence in Tianzhu.
Only then did the King of Jieri summon Xuanzang and hold a conference in Qunv City.
Xuanzang's influence was immense.
Countless people knew about Xuanzang.
That was why the King of Jieri summoned the kings of the Jieri Dynasty and the Choloch Dynasty to the south of Tianzhu, as well as more than three thousand Mahayana Buddhist scholars and two thousand people to participate.
It was an unprecedentedly grand occasion.
Xuanzang sat on the altar and preached, allowing everyone to ask for advice. In the end, no one could make Xuanzang speechless. On the contrary, everyone who went up to ask for advice was convinced by Xuanzang. After this, Xuanzang cemented his position in Tianzhu. He was revered by the Mahayana Buddhists in Tianzhu as "Mahayana Buddhists" and the Hinayana Buddhists as "Mahayana Buddhists". His influence was unprecedented.
In the end, Xuanzang returned to his country.
However, the current Xuanzang had only just arrived at the Jieri Dynasty. He had just arrived at Qunv City and had not even reached Nalanda Temple. He hadn't even taken action to tour the temples of the southern countries.
Although Xuanzang had a certain amount of influence, it was still far from the Xuanzang of the future. Even so, Xuanzang still had a certain amount of influence.
His attitude was very calm.
Xuanzang stood still and clasped his hands together, bowing, "Monk Xuanzang of the Tang dynasty greets the King of Jieri."
No matter where he went, Xuanzang would always refer to himself as Monk Xuanzang of the Tang dynasty. This was to show his identity and his position. He came from the Eastern Tang dynasty.
King of Jieri waved his hand and said, "Monk Xuanzang, please take a seat."
Xuanzang thanked him and sat down.
King of Jieri said, "I heard that Monk Xuanzang came from the Tang dynasty. He searched for scriptures and studied Buddhism extensively. It is admirable. Especially in Jieri Country, Monk Xuanzang, who relied on Buddhism to convince countless monks. You are very famous! "
Xuanzang said humbly, "King of Jieri, you flatter me. I was just discussing with the eminent monks. There is no such thing as being convinced. As for my reputation, it is not worth mentioning. It is just a worldly possession. "
King of Jieri could feel that Xuanzang's words were true. They came from the bottom of his heart.
This was a very pure person.
King of Jieri immediately came to a conclusion. King of Jieri did not beat around the bush. He went straight to the point and said, "I summoned Monk Xuanzang today because I have something to ask of Monk Xuanzang."
Xuanzang said, "King of Jieri, please speak. I will tell you everything I know."
King of Jieri said in a deep voice, "I want to know more about Du Qi from Monk Xuanzang."
Du Qi?
Xuanzang was surprised when he heard this.
King of Jieri asked, "Monk Xuanzang, do you not know about Du Qi?"
Xuanzang looked at King of Jieri and said with a puzzled expression, "I know a little about Du Qi. However, Du Qi is only a person from the Tang dynasty's Longyou province. Even if he took over Yizhou, which is bordering the Tang dynasty's Longyou province, and took over Yiwu city. But how did he catch King of Jieri's attention? "
King of Jieri chuckled and explained, "Monk Xuanzang, you are wrong. Du Qi not only has Yizhou, but all the countries in the Western Region have been destroyed by Du Qi. Even the Western Turkic Khagan, Yehu Khan, died at the hands of Du Qi. "
"In the Western Region today, there is only Du Qi's Xia of Yizhou. There are no other countries."
"In addition, Du Qi has already proclaimed himself as the Emperor and is standing side by side with the Tang dynasty. Du Qi has even defeated the invading Tang dynasty. He is a legend. However, there is still a lot of information about Du Qi that is not clear enough. "
King of Jieri said, "Monk Xuanzang came from the Tang dynasty. I want to know more from you."
Xuanzang was also shocked. He said, "How is this possible? When I was passing by the Western Regions, I saw you. When I was passing through the Qiuci Country, I only heard that Du Qi was in Yizhou. In just a few years, Du Qi has already swept through the entire Western Region and established himself as the Emperor. He is too fast. "
Xuanzang left the Western Region from the Tang dynasty and experienced thousands of tribulations. He had already developed a mentality that would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. But now, he could not help but be shocked.
Du Qi was too powerful.
The countries in the Western Region had always been in a state of division. In addition, the Western Turkic Khagan, Yehu Khan, was also entrenched in the Western Region. Du Qi had built such a foundation in the Western Region in just a few years. It was shocking.
It was simply a great achievement.
King of Jieri smiled and said, "Nothing is impossible. Du Qi is that powerful. So, I want to ask you about Du Qi's situation in the past. "
Xuanzang took a deep breath and calmed down. He said, "Since King of Jieri wants to know about the situation, I will tell you. However, what I know is only the information that I heard from the mouths of the common people. It's just some information that has been spread. After all, I have never met Du Qi and have never interacted with Du Qi. "
King of Jieri said, "This is enough. Compared to the news I found, it is more than enough. After all, Master Xuanzang once lived in the Tang dynasty and knows the situation in the Tang dynasty. "
Xuanzang thought for a while and said, "Speaking of Du Qi, he started to become famous in the fourth year of Wude, which is about ten years ago. At that time, Du Qi was only twelve or thirteen years old. He suddenly rose to fame. He opened a shop, a restaurant, and then a bookstore. In a short period of time, he seized a lot of wealth and became a rich merchant in the Tang dynasty … "
At this time, Xuanzang tirelessly told him some of the information he knew. From Du Qi's sudden rise to Du Qi's deeds in the Tang dynasty, especially the destruction of the Turks, Du Qi's help to Li Shimin, and finally Du Qi being conferred the title of Pacifying Xi Wang.
The information Xuanzang received was only a part of the information he knew. It was all known by the people.
Xuanzang did not know many inside stories.
Even so, there were still many things.
Xuanzang told him all the information he knew and finally said, "After I left the Tang dynasty, I did not know anything about Du Qi. Just like now, Du Qi has swept the Western Region and established a country in the Western Region. I also do not know. "
After hearing the news, King of Jieri frowned. Because according to Xuanzang, Du Qi was simply a genius, especially in business.
He could be said to be good at both pen and sword.
He was even a monster.
King of Jieri was a man of great talent and bold vision. But when it came to military achievements and governance, he carefully thought about it and found that there was a gap between him and Du Qi. However, King of Jieri was over 40 years old and mentally stable. So even if Du Qi was powerful, he was not afraid.
Because King of Jieri's troops were strong enough.
In King of Jieri's view, although Du Qi was a monster, and even King of Jieri was not as smart as Du Qi, the battle between two armies was not a simple battle between two people. Once the two countries went to war, King of Jieri was confident that he could defeat Du Qi's army.
After understanding the situation, King of Jieri was not in the mood to chat with Xuanzang. King of Jieri was a Shiva, not a Buddhist. Although King of Jieri did not reject people from other sects, he was not in the mood.
King of Jieri took the initiative to say, "Today's conversation ends here. I hope that Master Xuanzang can fulfill his wish in Jieri and learn more about Buddhism. "
Xuanzang stood up and said, "Thank you for your kind words. Farewell!"
He left without hesitation.
King of Jieri looked at Xuanzang's back and said with emotion, "The Tang dynasty of the East is really a place full of treasures and talents. Buddhism has a pure monk like Xuanzang, who is proficient in Buddhism. And the Emperor has people like Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang dynasty. And there is also a young talent like Du Qi. Our Jie Ri Nation lacks such talents! "
He was very emotional.
King of Jieri wanted to unify Tianzhu, but in order to unify Tianzhu, he needed more talents and people to work for him. Although King of Jieri had a lot of talents under his command, compared to the treasures of the Tang dynasty, the territory he controlled was not comparable to the territory controlled by the emperor of the Tang dynasty.
"Thud! Thud! "
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps.
It was a chamberlain who came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Abdo requests an audience."
King of Jieri said, "Please!"
The chamberlain immediately went to pass on the order. Not long after, a scholar in his thirties came in. He was dressed very simply, and his figure was slightly thin. He was King of Jieri's advisor, Abdo.
Abdo bowed and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, the scouts in the north have sent back news. Du Qi has dispatched troops from Gaochang in the Western Regions, leading 80,000 troops to the west. After passing Shu-lik, they have already begun to move south. Looking at Du Qi's posture, they are heading towards Jieri. In addition, the monarch of Kenpo Province also sent a message saying that once Du Qi attacks, Jiantuo and Luo Guo's forces will not be able to resist. They request Your Majesty to send troops north to resist the Great Xia's army that is about to move south. "
Kenpo Province was located to the north of Tianzhu. It was the northernmost state of the Jieri Dynasty and served the King of Jieri. Kenpo Province had its own beliefs, its own military forces, and its own government system, but it also belonged to the Jieri Dynasty.
This was the system of the Jieri Dynasty.
There were many kingdoms under the Jieri Dynasty. Because the King of Jieri had a powerful army, all the kingdoms were loyal to him. However, in reality, each kingdom had their own plans and military forces.
This was similar to the collapsed Eastern Zhou, where all the kingdoms respected the royal family, but in reality, each kingdom had their own plans. The only difference was that the King of Jieri was powerful and could command all the kingdoms.
After hearing Abdo's words, the King of Jieri thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Abdo, this time, do you think we should immediately send troops north to meet Du Qi?"
Abdo said, "Your Majesty, I think that even if Du Qi were to move south, he should at least attack Kenpo Province first. Moreover, the monarch of Kenpo Province, Vadhara, is a person who works hard to govern. He has always been in charge of Kenpo Province and hopes to revive Kenpo Province. The military forces under his rule are not weak. Therefore, we can take our time to send troops. Or perhaps, we should wait and see what happens in the north before we make any plans. "
After a pause, Abdo said, "Although Kenpo Province works for Your Majesty and listens to Your Majesty, its finances are independent. If Your Majesty wants to send troops to help, we naturally need to make Vadhara pay a certain price. This is your humble servant's plan. "
The King of Jieri said, "So Mr. Abdo means to stall for time and not give an answer for now. In any case, when Vadhara becomes anxious, he will naturally arrange for people to rush us again. "
Abdo said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
The King of Jieri then ordered, "Mr. Abdo, you are in charge of the arrangements."
"Yes!"
Abdo received the order and turned to leave.
A glint flashed in the King of Jieri's eyes as he muttered, "Du Qi, you chose the wrong direction to invade Tianzhu. If you didn't go south, then forget it. This King can't be bothered to compete with you. Since you chose to go south, then in this battle, this King will weigh you. However, you first have to go through Vadhara. He is an old fox and not easy to deal with. "
"This King looks forward to your results."
The King of Jieri sat alone as he muttered to himself. The current King of Jieri was extremely powerful. He wanted to continue expanding south, but Gao Da was not easy to deal with. The frontlines against Gao Da's army had not broken through, and the Zhloki dynasty in the south was not easy to deal with either.
Therefore, when Du Qi came, he arranged for people to inform the eastern front to temporarily stop attacking Gao Da and deal with Du Qi in the south first.
