Xuanzang was quite flattered.

In fact, his original hope was just a document issued by the Tang Dynasty to him. If he could have a seal from the Tang Dynasty court, he would have the best response to the countries along the Western Regions.

But then, I never thought that Chen Zhengtai would give him such great care as soon as he spoke.

You know, he had touched the wall many times before.

So, even though he was very arrogant, he couldn't help but say gratefully: "Then, thank you Korean."

"Don't call me Korean. I have a common name, Chen Zhengtai. I will call me Brother Chen in the future."

Chen Zhengtai was extremely enthusiastic.

Xuanzang was speechless for a moment.

Brother Chen...

You are obviously much smaller than me, okay.

But... Chen Zhengtai looked so generous, Xuanzang didn't deliberately not give Chen Zhengtai face.

What he was thinking about was going to the West to seek the true scriptures. In order to achieve this goal, he no longer knew how much effort he had spent. Now... the opportunity was right in front of him, so he still said against his heart: "Thank you, Brother Chen."

Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "You are in Chang'an, do you have a place to live?"

"Just live in a nearby temple for the time being."

"That's it." Chen Zhengtai said: "Then after you go back, wait for my news. I will go to meet the saint tomorrow. There will be a reply before the next day. Don't worry, this matter will be included in me."

Chen Zhengtai was a person who kept his promises, so the next morning, he happily entered the palace to meet the saint.

When he saw Li Shimin, Li Shimin couldn't help but say, "If you don't practice troops well, why are you wandering around all day long? I have nothing to do here."

Chen Zhengtai was speechless. What did he mean? Do you have to stay in the camp every day when training soldiers? Even if I, Chen Zhengtai, lying at home every day, can train and send troops.

Of course, these words cannot be said randomly. Chen Zhengtai hurriedly accepted the criticism humbly and said with a deep understanding of his mistakes: "Yes, yes? I'm really dead, but I'm asking for a meeting today if I have something to do."

Li Shimin just cursed casually. There were only 5,000 people on the Xinjun side? This was something that Li Shimin was not satisfied with.

Li Shimin thought that at least 20,000 should be the scale of 20,000? But there are only so many children of a hundred workers? It is impossible for them to recruit all kinds of crooked people, so they can only give up.

As for how strong the new army can achieve, Li Shimin is not sure? Since he has the intention to completely suppress the aristocratic races, then... his mind will never be shaken, so he said: "What's the matter?"

Chen Zhengtai said, "There is a monk named Xuanzang? He wants to travel west? Seek Buddhist scriptures? I think this person is kind and kind? He is also loyal and honest? The court should not prohibit it."

Li Shimin couldn't help but frown: "Xuanzang..."

It is impossible for him to have any impression of a monk.

He was not interested in dealing with such trivial matters, so he said, "What does it have to do with his kind-hearted eyes and loyalty, to forbidding him from traveling west?"

"What the son-in-law means..."

Without waiting for Chen Zhengtai's explanation, Li Shimin waved his hand: "Then let him leave the customs. Why do you need to come to me personally to talk about such a small matter?"

"I'm afraid he is in danger." Chen Zhengtai said honestly: "So I'm going to draw some guards for him? And he is a monk? He has to travel thousands of miles. I'm feeling very distressed when I see him? So... I feel that... someone needs to take care of his daily life."

Li Shimin asked, "What is this common name?"

"I don't know this either, it seems that my surname is Chen."

"Your relative?"

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "My son is wronged, but my son is never favored..."

Li Shimin looked indifferent: "It's your relative who is right? It's not your relative. You came here and spent so much effort on an inexplicable monk. I have to hit you. You are now a general of the new army and have a great relationship. You are idle all day long. What's the point?"

Damn...

It actually makes sense.

So Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth and said dryly: "Actually... he is a relative, he called me elder brother."

Li Shimin said, "Since you are a relative, then it will be accurate. I will be sure of all the people who have to leave the custody."

Li Shimin felt that this was just a small matter, but Chen Zhengtai came here and still had to give this kind of honor. In this way, he seemed to have great kindness to Chen Zhengtai.

Li Shimin looked like you were good to you, and she was so grateful: "I will tell the Honglu Temple..."

Chen Zhengtai was very grateful and said with tears: "I really don't know what to say when I am so loving to you by Your Majesty."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Do your business well, you know in your heart that I... have great expectations for you."

Isn't that true? I just wait for the new army to achieve some results and expand the new army in the future. When the time is right, I will be ready to close the door and fight the dog.

Chen Zhengtai nodded quickly: "Here."

After receiving the imperial edict, Chen Zhengtai happily left the palace.

When he returned home, he soon invited Xuanzang to his side, but sighed.

Seeing that he was like this, Xuanzang's heart was extinguished immediately: "Duke Han...is... Your Majesty is not allowed?"

"It's accurate." Chen Zhengtai sighed, "It's just...ah, it's a long way to say it, but... Your Majesty blamed me severely, saying that I was a dignified Duke who went to see me for the trivial matters of monks. His Majesty was busy with government affairs every day, and was worried about the people of the world. But I disturbed him for such trivial matters. Oh... Your Majesty's harsh criticism made me, a minister, really worse than death, and I felt ashamed and uncomfortable."

Xuanzang: "..."

Chen Zhengtai cheered up and continued, "Seeing this scene, I had to say that the monk is actually a distant relative of our Chen family. According to seniority, you have to call me brother. Your Majesty looks better now, saying that it turns out that... It's not only pleading for his relatives, but also shows that I am a kind-hearted person, so I didn't scold him too much. Now I have put this in front of His Majesty. You have to remember that when you go to Honglu Temple to receive the document, you must bite to death. Say you are from the Chen family in Mengjin and are my younger brother. No matter who questions you, you will bite to death."

Xuanzang: "..."

Although Xuanzang was a foreigner, he couldn't even understand that even if he and Chen Zhengtai were relatives, according to his seniority, he could be his uncle or his nephew, but with the age of the two, he was not as good as his distant younger brother.

Can the people from Honglu Temple believe it?

But Chen Zhengtai said this to this point. Could it be that a dignified Korean man would deliberately lie about this matter?

At this time, it is important to seek the true scriptures, but it is better not to create extraneous things.

So Xuanzang said: "Everything depends on the Han Gong... no, according to what Brother Chen said."

Chen Zhengtai nodded and asked, "I wonder how you plan to go to the Western Regions and where is your destination?"

When Xuanzang heard this, he talked freely. He had been to the Western Regions before, but of course he did not continue to travel west, but he was familiar with the geography of the Western Regions.

This was his second trip, so he was very determined. He hoped to directly pass through later Afghanistan from the Western Regions, and then head south into the Indian subcontinent.

This journey is very scary.

Of course, Xuanzang in history did arrive in India, which is now India.

Chen Zhengtai had to admire Xuanzang's courage. Anyway, if it were him, he wouldn't dare to go there alone even more than a thousand years later. After all, with his handsome appearance, there is a possibility that the chrysanthemums would be in danger.

Then Chen Zhengtai asked again: "When do you plan to make a trip?"

Xuanzang said: "The faster the better."

Chen Zhengtai thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the next day, I will make some arrangements tomorrow."

Xuanzang bowed again and looked at Chen Zhengtai sincerely and said, "It's so hard for Brother Chen."

With His Majesty's order and Chen Zhengtai's care, everything went smoothly. When Xuanzang went to Honglu Temple to receive the pass, Honglu Temple was very polite. After two days, he came to Chen's house to say goodbye, but he heard that Chen Zhengtai had already gone to the army.

However, at this time, hundreds of burly men surrounded him, and the carriages and horses were ready, with more than a hundred cars.

However, the group of burly men were all frowning and led the way to greet Xuanzang: "Uncle..."

Xuanzang was shocked: "You are..."

The man said, "I am Chen Aixiang, who is ordered by Uncle Zhengtai to protect you from traveling west. In terms of seniority, I am your nephew."

Xuanzang looked at him carefully and said, "You... aren't a monk?"

"Now, I'm going to be a monk for a few years and I'll be reborn when I come back." Chen Aixiang thought of going to the Western Regions, so she wanted to die, but Chen Zhengtai gave him two choices, one was to go to the Western Regions and then come back to take charge of one's business. The other was to die in the county and never come back in this life.

This is the order of the head of the family, and I think there will be no third choice.

After thinking about it, Chen Aixiang finally felt that the first choice was more fragrant.

Xuanzang: "..."

He looked at the burly men, all with a strong face, strong body, and a little uneasy. He asked the other person: "What are you...doing?"

The man was covered in muscles, thrusting the general's belly, and said, "What do you think I look like?"

"I don't want to guess."

"Looking at how I am, I know I am a monk. Of course, before I became a monk, I was a mining student."

Xuanzang: "..."

He glanced at another person again: "You are..."

The man said politely: "The hole was dug."

Xuanzang: "..."

This man patiently explained: "It's not the kind of digging people's ancestral graves, it's specializing in mineral exploration."

"You all follow me to the west?"

"Of course." Chen Aixiang said before: "It's getting late. On the way, he said that we are all on the order of Han Gong to seek the true scriptures with you. Look, we also have monks, serious monks, don't be skeptical..."

Xuanzang couldn't help but want to complain about something.
To be continued...
