At this time, Shi Qingyi was in Chang'an, so naturally she would not know about the heavy blow suffered by Li Shimin, after all, the distance between Hebei and Guanzhong was too far, and now, she was sitting quietly, listening to Li Yan talk about what happened in Chang'an City recently.

Li Yan's voice was full of schadenfreude: "A month ago, the rest of the Da Ming Zun Sect came to Chang'an, and after spending a lot of money to buy off some people in the court, they finally got the forgiveness of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and they were allowed to open a small temple in Chang'an to preach. Now they want to go ashore, but they think too well, not long ago, they were killed overnight, and none of them were killed! Hehe, you also know the leader of this group of Da Ming Zun Sect, it is the good mother Sha Fang, hehe, she is not honestly his princess in the desert, but she wants to come to the Central Plains, now it's okay, finally killed herself! Hey, hey, hey! Li Yan smiled, and then she looked at Shi Qingyi: "Godmother!" Anyway, she was once your acquaintance, aren't you going to say a few words? ”

"What do I have to say?" Shi Qingyi smiled faintly: "It's just a defeated subordinate!" And as for why she didn't stay outside the plug honestly instead of going to the Central Plains, isn't that a clear thing? The status of the woman outside the Saiwai is low, although Sha Fang is a princess, but in the eyes of the king who holds real power, it is just a plaything, if it is an ordinary woman, she will accept her fate, but Sha Fang, after all, is the most devout believer of the Ming Zun Sect, and has read the "Book of Light" to talk about the world harmony. The scriptures where all beings are equal, it would be strange if she could accept her fate. Therefore, whether it is to develop believers and strengthen their faith, or to die for religious martyrdom, of course she wants to come to the Central Plains. And only the Central Plains can give her such an opportunity! ”

"However, the person who interests me is the great Venerable Xu Kaishan of the Great Ming Venerable Sect, compared to Sha Fang, this Dazun is an extremely difficult master to deal with, but he did not come to Chang'an at this time, but he does not know what he is doing?"

"Hmph, Xu Kaishan?" Li Yan sneered when she heard this: "It's not that he doesn't want to come." It's that he can't come! Shi Qingyi smiled slightly, yes, back then, the Daming Zunjiao and the Li Tang royal family had such a big enmity, not only Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's father and son, but now they have heavy soldiers in their hands and various royal ministers, and who doesn't want to cut this Daming Zunjiao with thousands of knives, crush bones and scatter ashes, this Xu Kaishan is also clever, and after the Battle of Luoyang, he created a kind of split between the Daming Zunjiao to the outside world. Then let Safong take the splinter believers westward into the customs, while he hid behind the scenes. On the one hand, you can avoid the hatred of the Li Tang royal family, and on the other hand, you can continue to manipulate the Daming Zun Sect behind the scenes. He had a really good idea, and Li Yuan also considered the deep relationship between the Great Ming Zun Sect and the Persian Manichaeism in the Western Regions, so he would allow them to survive, so that his plan would succeed. However, Xu Kaishan naturally can't appear in Chang'an anymore, otherwise, once the people in the Li Tang royal family find out that the so-called split of the Great Ming Zun Sect is just an illusion directed by him, then there is no doubt about it. Not only will the idea of the Great Ming Zun Sect wanting to be quiet and missionary at this time will be immediately shattered, but these Ming Sect believers who have entered the Guanzhong will inevitably be arrested by the order of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and then all of them will be executed.

Li Yan smiled slightly: "This Xu Kaishan was originally regarded as the number one person, which can be seen from the fact that he came to the East alone in the past, and then created a foundation like the Great Ming Zun Sect, but it is a pity that he is really a little eager for quick success, and he actually wants to participate in the coup d'état through guò, and the extreme way of war quickly expands his faith, but the result is the opposite." In the Central Plains, they were unfavorable as soon as they launched, but they were recognized by Li Yuan's father and son, so they suffered defeat and had to withdraw from the Central Plains, not to mention, and became mortal enemies with the Li clan; In Mobei, they angered Wuzun because of their participation in the power struggle at the top, so they were expelled by the Tuli Khan, who was supported by Wuzun; vainly attempted to control the tribes of the Guanwai tribes in the area of Baishan and Heishui, and as a result, almost all the believers among the tribes were lost; In Bohai Longquan, not only has he been suppressed by a demon monk from Tianzhu, but also because of his two hearts, as a result, he has completely lost his faith in this land...... In these events, although the Great Ming Zun Sect successfully preserved a large amount of wealth, but the loss of a large number of believers made their foundation extremely fragile, if they do not look for a way out, then the once popular Great Ming Zun Sect, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be forgotten, disappearing in the long river of history! And this, of course, is not tolerated by all devout Manichaeans! ”

"That's why they will go south with money and people to form an alliance with Wang Shichong!" Shi Qingyi also opened his mouth and said: "Yes, although Wang Shichong grew up in the Central Plains, however, he is a Hu man after all, in this way, he has a natural alliance foundation with the Da Ming Zun Sect from the Western Regions, and Wang Shichong at that time had just defeated Li Mi, and his military strength was also extremely strong, and he was regarded as a powerful force almost on par with Li Tang, and the Da Ming Zun Sect chose to cooperate with him, which was indeed an extremely correct choice." ”

"It's not all!" Li Yan said: "In fact, the collusion between Wang Shichong and the Daming Zunjiao has started from a very early age, Wang Shichong is actually a prince of the Persian State in the Western Regions, with a noble status, but in their place, most of the kings have many sons and grandchildren, not to mention that Wang Shichong is a concubine, so he, the prince, is actually not very treated, so he was brought to the Central Plains since he was a child, and was even adopted as an adopted son by a family surnamed Wang!"

However, Wang Shichong is indeed an extremely extraordinary person, so when he gradually grew up, he was gradually valued by all those forces from the Western Regions, and among them, there was not only one of the Great Ming Zun Sect. Even the Manichaean orthodoxy of Persia will give this fallen prince a lot of special care in many cases! Therefore, when Wang Shichong's career reached its peak, and he might even become the supreme emperor in the vast land of the East, the people of the Great Ming Sect threw all their chips on him. It's a natural thing! But it's a pity that in the end, it was the Great Ming Zun Sect who looked away. As a result, it was a complete defeat. ”

After listening to what Li Yan said, Shi Qingyi sighed faintly: "Originally, in our opinion, Wang Shichong's strength should be on a higher level after obtaining the manpower and material resources of the Great Ming Zun Sect, however, it was beyond everyone's expectations. When the Tang army went out of the pass to attack, Zheng Guo, who was originally on a par with the Tang Dynasty, couldn't resist the attack of the Tang army, and was beaten by the Tang army and lost the city and lost the land, and even there were many brave generals who were originally in the hands of Wang Shichong, but they surrendered one after another after contacting the Tang army. Everyone thought that Wang Shichong had his appearance, but in fact, he was vulnerable internally, but now it seems that after getting the power of the Great Ming Zun Sect, Wang Shichong's strength did not rise but fell, and was greatly weakened, if not, Tang Jun was actually unable to help him! ”

Li Yan replied, "Yes! There is no such thing as a free lunch. Since Wang Shichong has the full support of the Great Ming Sect, it is natural. will have to pay the corresponding price, and Wang Shichong is originally a person who believes in gods very much, so he will naturally engage in worship and faith in Luoyang, however, for his practices, except for a small number of villains who want to flatter. Most of the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang didn't buy it, so in order to sell his faith as much as possible, Wang Shichong naturally forced the soldiers and civilians in the city, and he got carried away after defeating Li Mi. Therefore, in the treatment of those virtuous ministers and brave generals who are not keen on believing in ghosts and gods, Wang Shichong's heart will naturally produce disgust, so as to gradually alienate them, no wonder in the end the hearts of the army and the people are lost, if it is not for the fact that he still has an extremely elite army in his hands, I am afraid that even the ordinary people of Luoyang will rise up to rebel against him! ”

"It's just a pity that one of his elite soldiers!" Shi Qingyi sighed: "King Qin once said that among the many strong enemies he has seen, Xue Rengao's army attacks are the most rapid, and Song Jingang's army is the most mobile, but Wang Shichong's army has unparalleled cohesion, in the battle outside Luoyang City, the Wang army was scattered four times by the Tang army in superior strength, but it was regrouped four times, so tenacious, even the people of the world not only sighed, he regarded it as a first-class strong army in the world!" But it's a pity that such an army, in the Tang Army, can definitely not be copied! Shi Qingyi said.

Li Yan naturally knew why the Tang army could not replicate such an army: because the backbone of that army was the most devout believers of the Ming Zun Sect, because of the fanaticism for faith, so that they could ignore a qiē, however, it was precisely because of this belief that such an army would never be used by those in power, so instead of leaving such an army to become a hidden danger in the future, it was better to completely eliminate it at this time, and this is the most correct approach!

And it is precisely because the Da Ming Zun Sect invested all in Wang Shichong's body, so that when Wang Shichong was defeated and surrendered, the Da Ming Zun Sect also lost all its money, at this time, the Da Ming Zun Sect high-level, only to be stunned to find that they had almost nothing at this time, the foundation of the religion believers were few left, and the wealth that could make a comeback was also lost, until this time, they repented, however, where can they still have time! Over the years, because of the deliberate planning of the conspiracy, the Great Ming Zun Sect has long been unaware of how many powerful enemies it has set up for itself, even if Li Yuan has been deliberately coaxed, there will be other enemies who will find an opportunity to come to the door and sweep away these forces that the Great Ming Zun Sect has placed on the surface.

Li Yan suddenly laughed: "You know what? Those who were killed were all broken, but there were smiles on their faces! And such a strange and terrifying method, I think that in addition to someone who has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha here and has never gone out, there is only one person who will use such a method, hehe, now, even he has arrived in Chang'an, he will have more actions in the future, of course, how are you going to face him?! ”

Shi Qingyi knew that what Li Yan said was his father, the evil king Shi Zhixuan, because judging from the death of those disciples of the Great Ming Zun Sect that Li Yan said in his mouth, it was also the result of only casting the immortal seal created by the evil king, and in the world, there are only two people who can use such methods, that is, their father and daughter.

In fact, Shi Qingyi was prepared for the arrival of the evil king, because she clearly knew that her father's other identity was the minister who Emperor Yang of Sui trusted very much during his lifetime, Pei Ju, who had been following him during the lifetime of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yang Guang was killed in the Jiangdu mutiny, and Pei Ju was also coerced by Yu Wenhua with all the ministers, and returned to the Central Plains in the north, and later, Yu Wenhua and the army were defeated and killed, and these ministers all became prisoners of Dou Jiande, and then, Dou Jiande was defeated, and these ministers of the previous dynasty, can finally return to Chang'an, and accept the courtesy of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and continue to be an official in the court.

Even if the evil king had to come to Chang'an in person because of Pei Ju's identity, Shi Qingyi at this time could also conclude that his father must be lurking near Chang'an City, and the reason is simple, because at this time, the Li Tang Dynasty has almost completely unified the north, and if you don't go on a business trip, this dynasty is not far from unifying the whole world. Therefore, if you want to do something at this time, then the best choice is undoubtedly Chang'an.

That's what the evil king should think, but it's not just the evil king who thinks like this! Shi Qingyi and Li Yan both knew that after Li Tang's powerful external enemies were eliminated one by one, the fierce struggle between the Tang Dynasty had gradually begun. (To be continued......)
