"Your Majesty, the Northwest Urgent Report, Prince Yelu and the order to arrive in Guazhou to meet the deputy prime minister." When Cen Tianshi arrived at Changqing Palace, Li Xuanqing was planning and sorting out the layout of the industrial group with Qiaoxi, and was interrupted by this voice. Qiao Xi smiled when he heard this: "It seems that everything has been laid out in the northwest of the big brother, and it's time to start." ”

"The internal affairs of the northwest are related to the handling of religion, so I can't help but be cautious." Cen Tianshi walked over and picked up a cup of tea, and said with a solemn expression: "I don't know if the fire over there can be burned." ”

"Sir, rest assured, the deputy prime minister has already received the big brother's best plan, and Guazhou is on the front line, and there will be no problem with the strong suppression of the Western Expedition Group Army." Qiaoxi didn't have much interest in what happened in the northwest, anyway, although the Tianfang Sect over there was powerful, but in the northwest, after all, this side is the home of the Tang Dynasty and the concept of a thousand years later that he brought from the afterlife, there will be no repetition in the northwest.

"Forget it, everything that should be arranged in the northwest has already been arranged, no matter what, Guazhou is just a corner of the place, even if everyone is a Tianfang Sect, it will be difficult to become a big thing." Li Xuanqing looked in the northwest direction and smiled.

In fact, it was at this time that Tuoba Sijian also pushed this reform against Guazhou to the climax after meeting Yeluqi, and Yeluqi immediately took over the specific matters of business reform after his arrival. The reason why the Yelu family was allowed to lead the reform of Guazhou was because the fame that the Yelu family had worked hard in the northwest over the years was enough to influence the local wealthy merchant families in Guazhou, so that they could let go of their worries and go to the front end of the Datang commercial reform, so that they would not be overwhelmed in this change.

"Okay, Yelu Company, the commercial reform will be handed over to you, and how much of Guazhou's commercial fire can be retained depends on your ability." Tuoba Sizhi took the urgent document sent by Sima Daoxin and shook his head and said: "But you still guide the main, you must know that this place does not have much output except for industry and commerce, I have carefully checked the state records of Guazhou in the past few days, unless the Ministry of Industry and Commerce vigorously develops industry and commerce here, otherwise the gap with the Central Plains will be very obvious." ”

"Please rest assured that the Deputy Prime Minister actually has several business dealings with our Yelu family here in Guazhou, and I believe that we can rely on them to quickly take down most of the business elements, so as to quickly pacify the business community. Once the business community in Guazhou is taken down, Datang will be able to block Guazhou's economic exchanges between the handovers, bringing enough time and space for the implementation of other measures by the deputy prime minister. Before Yeluqi finished speaking, Tuoba Si Zhi directly said: "You be careful, we only have three days, this is the latest information sent by Sima Tingshi, Tianfang Sect, if you can't handle it, I can't do it, Guazhou is imperative to exchange blood." ”

Yeluqi was shocked but didn't say anything, nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then I'll go and prepare, regardless of the effect, if you ask the deputy prime minister to let it go after three days." After saying that, he bowed to Tuoba Si and withdrew.

After Yeluqi came out of Tuoba Siji, he returned to his residence and began to ask his subordinates to immediately send letters to several wealthy businessmen who had contacts before Yelu's family, and now it may be more obvious to directly pick it out, not to mention that the news that he came to Guazhou at this time believes that the wealthy merchants in the whole city should know everything, so Yeluqi does not plan to beat around the bush, after all, this is not a life-and-death battle in the shopping mall, he represents the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Tang Empire this time, and the wealthy merchants in Guazhou are also part of the Tang Dynasty merchants in the final analysis. His mission is to keep these people as much as possible, so that they can keep up with the chariots of the empire's industry and commerce.

"Childe, didn't the Dou family here just be suppressed by the deputy prime minister? Why did Childe still invite people from their family? And these families seem to be all religious believers? Childe, can't you do this? This Abdullah or something is not a local yet, so you can't invite him, this looks like a spy of the Heavenly Sect. Yelu Qi took out the roster of wealthy merchants in Guazhou that he got from Tuoba Siji, and asked the steward around him, Yelu Mingning, to send someone to invite, but Yelu Mingning was startled when he saw his son's posture, and he was almost ready to invite all the heads and faces on this list. Forget about the Dou family, although it was suppressed by Tuoba Siji, but unlike the other two families, this Dou family chose to surrender at the last moment, and the head of the family, Dou Wei, was invited by Tuoba Si to talk overnight, and then the Dou family fell silent, as if the Dou family sank to the bottom overnight. But what kind of Abdullah's family must have migrated from Ansi, right? And this name is too closely related to the Heavenly Sect.

"If you are asked to go, you will go, and there are also Uighur merchants. Besides, Ben Gongzi is a Uighur, and since he wants to invite these people, he should invite them all, and don't be petty. I know where they came from, that distant Samarkand, and I don't know if there are any relics there. When Yelu Qi saw that Yelu Mingning couldn't understand it, he simply didn't explain, but just told Yelu Mingning to let these people be there at noon tomorrow.

Yeluqi's move to invite almost all the representatives of the business community in Guazhou with great fanfare here suddenly set off a huge wave in this stormy Guazhou, Yeluqi doesn't care about anything, and the move of gathering these merchants with different minds seems to be conveying a different meaning, the status of the Yelu family in the Central Plains These people basically know that one of the five wealthy businessmen started from Fengzhou with the Tang Emperor Li Xuanqing, and can be described as a real minister from the dragon, What is his idea at this time in the business world, regardless of the camp, to invite everyone like this?

While the business world was in turmoil and speculation about Yeluqi's intentions, Tuoba Sijian stared at the direction of the White Tiger Pass outside Guazhou City, where the headquarters of the Heavenly Fang Sect in Guazhou was located. In fact, the Tianfang Sect originally did not have many followers in Guazhou, because Abdullah. Abbas. After Barcelona came to the two places in Jiaosha, he focused on the sandbank, because the main base of the Guiyi army was on the sandbank. Abbas. After Barcelona and Zhang Chaofeng got online, they had no time to think about Guazhou. But Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona still kept an eye on it, although there were not many sectarians in Guazhou, but after Zhang Chaofeng sent troops, he had the foresight to send some of the sectarians in Shazhou to Guazhou, and also used the power given to him by Zhang Chaofeng to persuade and win over the leaders of other religions in Shazhou and Guazhou.

"Abdullah. Abbas. Elder Barcelona, you Tianfang Sect are not planning to withdraw from Guazhou? "The Wohuo Sect was originally a religion that came to the Western Regions from Persia, and the situation in the northwest was not good in the early days, but the Wohuo Sect had an indescribable advantage in terms of doctrine for the suffering people, so the Wohuo Sect took the lower route in Guazhou and Shazhou, and the members under it were basically ordinary people, and many of them were even those who had no food and clothing. Some of the sects and elders believe that the policy of the Tang Dynasty is very consistent with the teachings of the Wohuo Sect, although the subsequent restrictions on religion are very harsh, but there is still a lot of room for reconciliation in the case of the same basic proposition. It's just that this voice didn't unify the upper echelons of the Wohuo, so Abdullah. Abbas. When Barcelona convened the high-level leaders of the sects to discuss how to deal with the Hanging Prefecture Assassin Mansion, the Wohuo Sect still appeared here, and even pointed the finger at the Heavenly Sect from the beginning.

As soon as the elders of the Wohuo Sect exited, the other surrounding Buddhist representatives, such as Buddhist representatives, were silent one by one, and everyone knew that the discord between the two sects was known, and the reason for it even involved the issue of origin, and the question of the elders of the Wohuo Sect was indeed what these people thought now. There are not many followers of the Heavenly Fang Sect, so when the time comes, just withdraw directly with the backbone, and there is nothing to bring anyway. But other people are different, especially these bishops and elders already have strong local power and financial resources, and once they withdraw, they will inevitably put their own families into it.

Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona knows why the Wohuo Sect is looking for trouble for itself, just because the current missionary method of the Tianfang Sect is very different from before, and it takes the upper-class route, so it is developing rapidly, and this kind of local wealthy clan joining the religion in turn uses religious power to run rampant in the village, and the Wohuo Sect, which takes the route of the lower class of the people, is naturally incompatible, not to mention that the two religions have a grudge.

"Fang Protector, is my Heavenly Fang Sect retreating, it doesn't seem like it's up to you, right? My true God, Allah, has not yet delivered the truth, so why do you bother with me? Besides, Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona summoned everyone here today to discuss how to fight against the Tang Dynasty and win a space for the various religions in the Western Regions to survive and develop. Allah, the true God, is not the time for us to fight on the side of Persia, but we need to face a dynasty that is not inferior to our caliphate. "Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona said a lot, although it was a little out of tune, but everyone present still understood what he meant.

"The old man of Barcelona is wrong, the old man has heard that Suzhou I Jietai Temple has sent a representative headed by my senior brother Jiekong to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Emperor, persuade the emperor to open up to the northwest religious networks, and remove violent courtiers like Tuoba Siji, but the effect is not obvious in the short term, according to the regulations of the Jiaozhou Assassin Mansion, we only have three days left, even if the emperor of Chang'an agrees to us, we have no time." Abdullah. Abbas. As soon as Barcelona finished speaking, a great monk followed: "So the Barcelona Elder must have an idea when he summoned me to come, right?" I don't know how to cooperate? ”

"Haha, it's still Master Kong's insight, as the master has seen, at this time, even if the emperor agrees, we don't have time. The next way is to find a way to extend this time. "Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona looked as usual, nodded and said: "The key to the current situation lies in Tuoba Sizhi alone. The commander of the Tang army was at the road construction site at this time, and the main force of the Assassin Mansion was also busy with commercial reform, so at this time, Guazhou actually formed an empty area around Tuoba Siji. Abbas. Barcelona made a neck gesture and said, "Maybe we will have a new opportunity." ”

"Opportunity? Could it be that you are planning to kill Tuoba Siji? "The Elder of the Wohuo Sect was defeated by Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona's words were taken aback, but then he thought of the other party's tradition, and immediately understood what this guy meant, and for a moment the Vorhuo Sect elder felt that there was a faint aura of indescribable conspiracy in this, but he was not sure whether this conspiracy was from the guy in front of him or from the side of the Tiance Army.

"What? Could it be that you Vorpyrophy are planning to do the same? A glimmer of life for us? "Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona looked at the old opponent in front of him and smiled coldly, he and the great elder of the Wohuo Sect were both outsiders, and they both knew each other's details, so when the other party asked him like this, he naturally understood his plan The other party already knew, so he sneered without hesitation: "My Heavenly Fang Sect plans to assassinate Tuoba Siji, as long as he dies, the local reform in Guazhou will inevitably come to a standstill, and then I will give Master Kong enough time for you to operate, and none of the sects in the Central Plains and the mainland have a long history of Buddhism, Therefore, I hope that the master will not live up to the hard work of my Heavenly Fang Sect when the time comes. ”

Master Likong heard the other party say so directly at this time, and immediately understood what was going on, to be honest, Buddhism was not willing to kill and violence, and even if it weren't for the policy implemented by the Guazhou Thorn Mansion at this time, it was for the sects to draw money from the bottom of the kettle, and I am afraid that he would not sit here, so he showed a trace of compassion when he heard this, "Amitabha, good, good." Although he didn't say anything, this Buddha name at this time undoubtedly represented an empty attitude. This Buddhist sect has already expressed its position, and the other large and small sects around it have also begun to agree, and even the few Taoist priests sitting next to him are silent. But in one corner there were a few Uighurs dressed as shamans, shamans from the steppes, who were silent. Shamanism has been passed down in the grasslands for a long time, so long that even they don't remember it, and the spread is also very wide, from the white mountains and black waters in the northeast to all parts of the Western Regions, spanning tens of thousands of miles, along with the continuous migration of those nomads, it also continues to spread to various places. So it's not surprising that they were able to appear here, and in fact the herders in the Guazhou area are basically shamanic believers.

"Since everyone agrees on this plan, then I need everyone's help, I have already arranged the killer, but my Heavenly Fang Sect members don't have many strongholds in Guazhou City, and I am afraid that I will be discovered soon if I appear in the city, so I need everyone's cover to help me get close to Tuoba Siji." Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona saw everyone like this and immediately knew what the situation was, and immediately began to describe his plan, I have to say that in the early days and even in the process of its rise, this method should have been used a lot, so Abdullah. Abbas. The plan that Barcelona said is leaky, and if it is according to his plan, as long as it cooperates well, Tuoba Si Advice can be described as almost unlucky. Then they saw Abdullah. Abbas. Barcelona said the detailed plan, and immediately understood that many parties must have been planning for a long time, so he didn't say much, and the various sects that had this idea spoke out one after another to help him improve this plan, and even the elders of the Wohuo Sect said a few words.

What they probably didn't know, however, was that the conspiracy had been targeted almost from the start, and that the methods had taken them by surprise, and no one had expected the bad news to come just as they had planned it well and were preparing to disperse.
