His Majesty Li Er leaned on the table and opened the letter, but saw that the letter was written not the name Li Yuanying said to him, but the word "Chengqian". He raised his eyebrows and knew that it was Li Yuanying who made a mistake.

His Majesty Li Er never cared about not being polite. He sent all the letters to him, of course he would read them first. He swept down and saw Li Yuanying holding Li Chengqian indiscriminately. After reading ten sentences, he picked out the key points. He snorted coldly, thinking that this kid was too out of tune and what he wrote!

After most of the time he read it, His Majesty Li Er learned from the letter that what they were communicating with Xuanzang was about to return to the east.

Xuanzang did not notify the court when he traveled west, but when he came back, he specifically asked the court for the approval of documents because he brought back more than 600 scriptures and more than 100 relics. If there were no one to help him, it would be difficult for Xuanzang to translate them all in his life!

Li Chengqian also asked someone to report this matter to His Majesty Li Er as soon as possible, saying that he had picked a group of Buddhist disciples to help Xuanzang translate scriptures and write "A Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty".

Whether it was His Majesty Li Er or Li Chengqian, they were more interested in "The Record of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty", and even wanted Xuanzang to return to secular life to the court to manage the Western Regions, but Xuanzang himself was obviously more interested in translating Buddhist scriptures.

Since the scriptures can allow monks to travel across mountains and rivers, Li Chengqian believes that as long as there are enough benefits, many merchants will definitely be willing to re-track the Silk Road. Therefore, Li Chengqian is planning to let Fengtailou write some stories about the Western Regions to spread it to the outside world, which does not have to be related to Buddhism, as long as it can attract people, it will be done.

The territory of the Tang Dynasty is so large at present, and only so much food can be grown, and the wealth they can accumulate will not become more out of thin air. Therefore, some knowledgeable people have to encourage them to go to various countries in the Western Regions to exchange, buy all the things they want, and learn all the useful things, and the Tang Dynasty can also send them what they lack!

Even if Li Yuanying cannot achieve the shameless "being close relatives and neighbors", he must turn all neighboring countries into fertile grounds for the development of the Tang Dynasty.

Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty truly bring vitality to life with both back and forth.

These views were discussed by Li Chengqian and Li Yuanying. Li Chengqian did not hide it and told His Majesty Li Er as it was true.

Because the serious content he picked out was known to His Majesty Li Er, His Majesty Li Er felt that the letter was useless and was all nonsense!

His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly in his heart when he saw Li Yuanying saying that he missed the days he played with his eldest nephew. His Majesty Li Er felt that this kid had not made any progress at all. He was so old that he still wanted to play.

His Majesty Li Er wrote a letter of reprimand on the spot, which made Li Yuanying feel bloody, saying that he could even pretend to be wrong and how good he could do other things. Halfway through the letter of reprimand, someone came to report that the prince was coming.

His Majesty Li Er was in a bad mood when he was halfway through cursing, so he asked someone to put Li Chengqian in.

Li Chengqian was responsible for staying in Chang'an. He shouldn't have left without leaving, but when he saw the letter he sent to him, Li Chengqian couldn't sit still. The letter Li Yuanying wrote to him should have nothing to say, but thinking about Li Yuanying's usual virtue of being unblocked, Li Chengqian still felt that he had to recover it himself!

In order to recover the wrong letter, Li Chengqian did not stop for a moment and went straight to Cuiwei Palace. Along the way, he even thought about several topics that needed to ask His Majesty Li Er to ask for advice, and was preparing to mention a letter inadvertently after getting the idea.

His Majesty Li Er should not read Li Yuanying’s letter as soon as possible!

Li Chengqian's plan was perfect, and His Majesty Li Er cooperated very well. He did not mention the matter that he had read the letter at all. He listened leisurely to Li Chengqian's serious matters that he had found temporarily.

When Li Chengqian felt that the matter was almost done, he tentatively told His Majesty Li Er that Li Yuanying had pretended to be a mistake.

Li Chengqian said: "I thought it was wrong at the beginning, so I didn't look down." Li Chengqian was telling the truth. He really had no reason to peek at Li Yuanying's letter. After all, His Majesty Li Er had the habit of giving letters to others in private, so he didn't have to peek at them at all!

His Majesty Li Er seemed to remember the letter, and said calmly: "I have read the letter your uncle wrote to you." He asked someone to take out the wrong letter Li Yuanying sent and return it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian: “…”

Li Chengqian silently took back the letter. If he had known that His Majesty Li Er had read the letter, he would not have had to hurry over and intercept it! He complained to Li Yuanying in his heart. Can't this kid check it before pretending to be a letter? Now, His Majesty Li Er has finished reading the letter openly!

Now that things have come to this point, Li Chengqian can only secretly pray that Li Yuanying has not written anything that shouldn't have written.

His sons were all over, and His Majesty Li Er did not drive him away, so he kept him for a meal, and by the way, he finished Li Yuanying's letter that was packaged incorrectly. Li Yuanying's letter was also very praising. First, he talked about how good Yan Lide he borrowed, and then how good Li Chunfeng he borrowed. With them, his plan to Oriental Pearl is really a big deal! What's left is to explain his plan to issue tickets, saying that as long as the people who have the extra money in Henan Road take out their usual money to support the construction of the harbor, the harbor will be built soon!

After reading the letter, His Majesty Li Er found that Li Yuanying had given another new idea.

This is said lightly, but it is not easy to do it! If you really want to calculate this, as long as each of the people of the Tang Dynasty pays a consistent amount of money, wouldn’t it be 10 or 20 million yuan? As for what Li Yuanying said about profit, those who want to build a harbor and practice a navy are all things that are out of money, so where can they make a profit?

His Majesty Li Er said: "Your uncle is too optimistic."

Li Chengqian said: "Maybe Uncle Yao can do it?"

His Majesty Li Er made the decision: "Then let him do it."

Since he allowed Li Yuanying to take Li Dejian and Du He over, he allowed Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian to form a navy commander.

This time, Goryeo surrendered, not only returned most of Silla's cities, but also gave him sincere tributes and tribute coins. His Majesty Li Er could not say that the civil officials in the court would be beaten. However, in His Majesty Li Er's heart, Goryeo would still fight sooner or later. Na Yuan Gaisuwen did not take the Tang Dynasty seriously at all. This time, it was just because they were both internal and external troubles and did not want to attract the Tang Dynasty's King's Army again!

Since we want to fight, the navy must be trained well, so that we can achieve joint encirclement between land and water, and take down Goryeo at one time.

His Majesty Li Er was very relieved of Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian, and he was willing to let them try it out. Of course, if they failed his trust, he would never be merciful.

Li Chengqian understood what His Majesty Li Er meant, so he naturally made another statement: "Uncle Yao and the others will definitely not disappoint his father."

His Majesty Li Er said nothing. After the father and son used it together, they sent Li Chengqian back.

It was still early, and His Majesty Li Er continued to write a reply to Li Yuanying. In the second half of the letter, His Majesty Li Er still scolded Li Yuanying to the point of being so bitter, saying that he was boasting and unrealistic. Just let it go to Chang'an, but did he think someone would support him?

After a slander, His Majesty Li Er said: If you can do it, you can do it. Anyway, the court will not pay. If you are scolded by Wei Zheng and the others, you can bear it yourself!

After scolding Li Yuanying like this, he felt a little relieved. However, when he thought of Li Yuanying's praise for Li Chengqian, His Majesty Li Er still felt unhappy. This kid actually praised everyone. He was so unprincipled and flattering villain!

After all, he is a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty. Why is he so embarrassed to praise the prince so shamelessly? If someone who doesn’t know sees it, he might have to say what he wants to say!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. He added another paragraph to the letter on the spot, seriously warning Li Yuanying not to write such a letter to Li Chengqian again. He would forget that he would not care about his reputation, and don’t drag Li Chengqian down and be stabbed by others!

As for what I wrote for him, it was my younger brother’s respect for my brother. When I heard it, I would only feel that they were friendly and respectful, and would not gossip!

In short, it is not allowed to write to the prince, but it is necessary to continue writing to him. After His Majesty Li Er wrote the letter, he read it again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. That's the reason!

His Majesty Li Er asked someone to send this thick reply to Tengzhou, and especially reminded the sender to ask Li Yuanying to take a good look and reflect on it!

After being fussed by Li Yuanying like this, His Majesty Li Er wanted to meet Xuanzang. He asked someone to go to Hongfu Temple to pass on the orders to let Xuanzang come tomorrow.

Although His Majesty Li Er did not believe in Buddhism, he was still very interested in what Xuanzang brought back from the Western Regions. He also wanted to personally persuade Xuanzang to return to secular life and become an official.

Without the support of the court, Xuanzang was able to travel to more than a hundred countries in the Western Regions. His ability was really great. Such a capable person could not be used by the court. His Majesty Li Er felt very sorry!

The next morning, when His Majesty Li Er and Wei Zheng and others discussed government affairs, Xuanzang came.

Compared to the last time he met Li Chengqian, Xuanzang now has a clear understanding of the current situation in Chang'an and has a further understanding of Li Yuanying. He was able to judge that Li Yuanying, like His Majesty Li Er, is not a person who believes in the principles of Buddhism. They are only planning to treat Buddhism as a tool.

Xuanzang felt very sad about this.

It is not for the purpose of translating the scriptures or spreading the scriptures. He would rather not have the honor of paying homage to the emperor. He has no restrictions on becoming an official in the court, nor is he interested in being admired by thousands of people. He just wants to pass on his sincerity to more Buddhist disciples. Unfortunately, even Buddhist disciples are unwilling to study the scriptures sincerely!

Among all living beings, few people are honest and devoted to the Buddha, and many people seek personal gain in the name of the Buddha, and even the Buddhist silence is not quiet.

Xuanzang sighed in his heart and went in to see His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er really reiterated the old sayings, expressing his hope that Xuanzang would return to secular life.

Xuanzang refused again.

His Majesty Li Er was not surprised and invited Xuanzang to have tea while talking about his trip to the Western Regions.

Perhaps influenced by Li Yuanying, His Majesty Li Er loves to listen to people tell stories now. As for the authenticity of the story, His Majesty Li Er doesn’t care. As long as he sends more people to the Western Regions in the future, he will naturally be able to find out the truth!

The two had a good chat. His Majesty Li Er generously assigned Xuanzang to criticize people. They both had just returned from Tubo and had the experience of helping his youngest brother write "Travels in Tubo", which was very suitable for participating in the translation of the scriptures and compiling "Travels in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

Xuanzang responded gratefully.

His Majesty Li Er praised Xuanzang for another watermelon and asked Xuanzang to take it back to taste it, saying that it was found by his youngest brother from Tubo to the west, and it was really a good choice to relieve heat and thirst.

His Majesty Li Er said one word from the left and the first brother from the right. Xuanzang quickly understood and praised Li Yuanying with kindness.

His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied and happily let him go.

Xuanzang came out of Cuiwei Palace with a big and round watermelon and said in his heart: Twenty years ago, who could have imagined that His Majesty Li Er would raise his younger brother as his son? He raised him, and he had to express his hinting that others praised him for his good care! What a bad habit!
