Li Tang capital Chang'an, Taiji Palace, Xuanzheng Palace. Li Jiancheng was reading a newspaper sent from Liaodong.

"Zhao Deyi, the former lieutenant of the minister, saw His Majesty, the minister was fortunate not to disgrace his life, and with the assistance of Daoist Xie Hong, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, and Liaoyang Taishou Sun Yuce, and others, he finally laid a foundation in the Bohai Kingdom! Now that Taoism has penetrated deep into the Bohai Sea, the last flame of shamanism that was originally popular in the entire grassland desert has been extinguished, and in addition, the beggar Zhongxiang, the lord of the Bohai Kingdom, has set off to come to Chang'an to meet His Majesty! Chen Zhao proudly respectfully invites St. Ann! "Li Jiancheng will report the same. It was hard to hide the joyful smile on his face - when the Bohai Kingdom was just about to be established, Li Jiancheng knew the ambition of the beggar Zhongxiang. It's just that at that time, the land of Sanhan was not yet fully controlled by the Tang Dynasty. In addition, the threat of the Japanese state has not been completely eliminated. Today, Taoism has taken root throughout the Bohai Kingdom. When the time comes, the Central Plains culture will continue to spread to the Bohai Kingdom through Taoism. You must know that in the Han and Tang dynasties, the identification rate of the surrounding ethnic minorities with the Central Plains culture was very high. Unlike the later Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Either it's just talking about poetry, or it's destroying culture. In the end, it caused a disaster for the Chinese nation. As long as the Bohai State is completely assimilated through cultural invasion, and through the territory of the Bohai State, it will continue to penetrate into the vast Siberia, although the climate of Siberia makes people feel bitter cold, but the treasure underground, the fertile black soil, the oil extracted in later generations, and the gold that has not been exhausted. It's all coveted by Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng issued an order, in order to shorten the distance of the beggar Zhongxiang and the prince of the county of Bohai State, Li Jiancheng ordered to tour Luoyang in the east, and let the local officials from Liaoyang to Luoyang greet the county king and prince of Bohai Kingdom along the way. When the king of Bohai County, the beggar Zhongxiang, and his son came to Luoyang, he was very respectful to Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng also warmly entertained the beggar Zhongxiang and the son of the Bohai Kingdom. At the banquet, the beggar Zhongxiang even said that he hoped to leave his son in Chang'an, and asked Li Jiancheng to arrange a famous teacher to teach.

"Oh! The king of Bohai wants Ling Gongzi to stay in Chang'an and learn from his teacher!? "For the beggar Zhongxiang suddenly put forward the request that he want to leave his son in Chang'an and learn the culture of the Central Plains. Li Jiancheng felt a hint of suddenness. However, Li Jiancheng readily agreed.

"Shangshu's left servant shoots Fang Xuanling!"

"The minister is here!"

"Immediately choose the well-educated Hongru as the teacher of the prince of the Bohai Kingdom. He also ordered the Ministry of Works to build the annex of the lord of the Bohai Sea near the palaces of Chang'an and Luoyang. It must be solemn and grandiose. ”

"Yes! Obey the order! Looking at Li Jiancheng's smiling face, the beggar Zhongxiang's heart had to sigh helplessly. The first is that it was the beggar Zhongxiang who observed along the road and thoroughly felt the strength of the Li Tang Empire; The second is that after the chaos of the beggar Zhonghu in the Bohai Sea, the strength of the Bohai Kingdom was greatly damaged - the beggar Zhongxiang was very angry since he knew that the deaths of his six sons were related to the beggar Zhonghu. In order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and also to remove the obstacles to his son's accession to the throne, the beggar Zhongxiang ordered that the two sons of the beggar Zhonghu be killed together. And the old subordinates of the beggars were also purged. And the old department of the beggar elephant will naturally not be captured without his hands. In particular, there were many soldiers composed of the Wa Kingdom and the original Goguryeo people. Originally, it was incompatible with the people of the Eagle. After hearing about the beggar Zhonghu, many people rumored that after the beggar Zhongxiang killed the beggar Zhonghu, he would attack the non-indigo people. Many people turned into bandits, and the entire Bohai country was full of vendettas, killing each other everywhere. Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang's Tang army also took advantage of the situation to encroach on the border passes of the Bohai State. Even the harem of the beggar elephant is also full of dangers. Just last month, there were three assassinations and poisoning incidents around the son of the beggar Zhongxiang - whether it was the old department of the beggar Zhonghu or the daughter of Bari Tiger in the harem of the beggar Zhongxiang, which is uncertain, of course, several daughters of the beggar tiger do have a motive for committing the crime, although the beggar Zhongxiang is very fond of the daughters of the beggar Zhongxiang, but after not being conceived for a long time, some people can hardly guarantee that they will not have any thoughts. In this crisis-ridden Bohai country, the beggar Zhongxiang had no choice but to make such a choice. As long as his son is alive. The beggar felt that there was still hope. Leave his son in the Central Plains, and after he returns to Bohai, he will be able to show his skills immediately. When the time comes, integrate all the forces in the Bohai Kingdom, imitate the centralized power model of the Central Plains, and leave itself a completely self-determined country. It turns out that the wish of the beggar can only be a good wish. (After the death of the beggar Zhongxiang, after the prince of Bohai in Chang'an returned to the Bohai Kingdom, he immediately purged all opposition forces within the Bohai Kingdom with the support of Li Tang, and then the whole country was attached to Li Tang's rule.) That's an afterword. ）

That night, Li Jiancheng secretly summoned Zhao Deyi again.

"Lord Zhao proud!" Zhao Deyi said modestly to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, Poor Dao Spiritual Officer." On the one hand, Zhao Deyi is modest, and on the other hand, he emphasizes his identity as a Taoist priest. Li Jiancheng heard Zhao proudly call himself.

"It seems that the Taoist chief has seen through the red dust. Forget it, since the Taoist insists on this, I will make a decree, after a hundred years of Xie Hong's Dao Chief, you will be the master of Changchun Temple, and the position of this immortal master will be inherited in the line of Lingguan Dao Chang in the future. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jiancheng nodded:

"Lingguan Daoist, now, tell me how you infiltrated the Bohai Kingdom at that time?" In the description of the Lingguan Daoist, Li Jiancheng understood what the whole thing had happened. When the Grand Witch of Satsuma left the city of Longzhou, the Lingguan Dao Chief stopped the Grand Wizard of Satsuma.

"Archwizard, please wait a minute!"

"Ahh What does the Taoist command? "The Great Wizard has now become a loyal dog beside the Lingguan Daoist, nodding at the Lingguan Daoist.

"Great Wizard, now that you are out of the city, how do you think you can tell those believers?" The Great Wizard of Satsuma doesn't know how urgent it is in his heart - Lingguan Daoist, I have your poison in me. If there is no antidote after three days, then I will not turn into a puddle of pus and blood. At this time, the Lingguan Daoist whistled:

"Shh Dozens of strong men dressed in nocturnal black immediately surrounded them.

"Lingguan Daoist, you ...... You don't want to end me up now!? I still have value for you. Lingguan Daoist smiled:

"Great wizard, don't be nervous, I just wanted to tell you, what are you going to do when the time comes?" In the border city of the Bohai Kingdom bordering Li Tang, the Grand Witch of Satsuma stood on a high platform and shouted to the believers below:

"Fellow believers, I have gathered you here today to tell you something! Since our Bohai country, there has been an irreversible epidemic immediately, do you know why? ”

"Yes, it's because of that son of the devil."

"It's the scourge!" …… The Grand Wizard of Satsuma looked at the crowd below and motioned for the people below to be a little quieter.

"Dear congregation, devotees! Please be quiet. Listen to me! In fact, the real woe is not the king's prince, but someone else! That man is the king's own brother! Beggar Zhonghu! ……”

"Nonsense! The beggar Zhonghu is the bravest warrior of our Bohai Kingdom and our best commander. How could it be a calamity? ”

"Yes! At the beginning, the Great Wizard said that the Disaster Star was the son of the King, but now you say that it is the younger brother of the King, could it be that the Disaster Star is you! "Some people were originally the slaves of the beggar Zhonghu, and after the beggar Zhonghu ascended to the throne, they would naturally benefit. And still some people don't know what's going on? I don't know who to listen to. The situation is slowly becoming a little difficult to control. Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the Grand Wizard of Satsuma. Suddenly, several cold arrows were fired at the crowd, and those who were in the crowd were all shot.

"Ahh There are people on the walls! ”

"Look! We're surrounded! It's the Tang Army! ”

"There are spies!"

"Don't move, be obedient, as long as you don't move, you can live! You can also get your own family back safely! "It turned out that the Lingguan Daoist deliberately let the Grand Satsuma Wizard attract attention in the city, and then eliminated the guards at the city gate, allowing the few Tang troops who had been ambushed outside the city in advance to infiltrate the city. Took control of the four gates of the entire border city. And with bows and arrows he shot those who were in a commotion.

"Everyone, trust me." The Grand Wizard of Satsuma also shouted.

"You make us believe you, you show the evidence!" The Grand Wizard of Satsuma glanced at the Spirit Officer Dao Master beside him. The Lingguan Daoist took out his gourd.

"Who in your family is seriously ill? Trust me, I can help you. "Someone came to them with a couple of sick people. Lingguan Dao Chief took out a few pills from the gourd and put them into the mouths of those people, and their faces slowly turned bloody.

"Ahh He's a god! Please help the gods! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Great Wizard is right! If you don't eradicate the calamity, there will be no peace in your Bohai country! ”

"Eradicate the disaster star, return me to peace!"

"Eradicate the disaster star, return me to peace!"

"Eradicate the disaster star, return me to peace!" A large crowd shouted slogans and left with the Satsuma Wizard. In this way, Li Tang's army controlled several border cities of the Bohai Kingdom along the road, causing the border of the Bohai Kingdom to retreat for dozens of miles. Moreover, with the help of the opportunity of the beggar Zhongxiang to eradicate the beggar Zhonghu, he provoked the vendetta of the Goguryeo and the Japanese people under the command of the beggar Zhonghu and the original Jin people, which further weakened the strength of the Bohai State. If it weren't for Li Tang's insufficient deployment of troops in Liaodong, Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang were afraid that expanding too quickly would trigger a backlash from the Bohai Kingdom, and Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang really wanted to eat the entire Bohai Kingdom into their stomachs. After listening to the Lingguan Daoist's narration, Li Jiancheng patted the Lingguan Daoist on the shoulder.

"Well, that's great!" Mingyu's father-in-law suddenly reported outside the palace gate:

"Your Majesty, Shangshu's right servant shoots Lord Du Ruhui and asks to see you!"
