Chapter 251: The Traitor

In the chapter "In the Silent Place", "Zoroastrianism is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty" should be changed to "Zoroastrianism is the state religion of Sasanian", the hand slips and typos, brothers, forgive me, and by the way, thank the brother who pointed out this bug.

……

Chen Xuanli said: "Chen Xilie's whole family was killed, and everyone in Chang'an City thought that the murderer was Yang Zhao, listening to His Majesty's intentions, Yang Zhao was wronged." ”

Li Longji snorted: "Killing the whole family under my nose, how can Yang Zhao have such courage!" But Chen Xilie really deserves to die, this is the kind of person he said about the traitor. If it weren't for the fact that I had set my sights on the treasures of the Persian Temple, I wouldn't know what Chen Xilie had done. There are some things that I can't do, he died and the whole family died, and I only felt happy in my heart, and I didn't pity him at all. ”

Chen Xuanli said: "In this way, Chen Xilie should have colluded with the Persian Temple, and the old minister only knows that Mu Kun asked to reopen the Persian Governor's Mansion by his way." ”

Li Longji said in a deep voice: "That's a matter on the surface, it's not a crime. But if he and the thieves in the Persian Temple do anything else, I can't tolerate him! Xuanli, the world has been peaceful all these years, and I haven't used Lijingmen for many years, and after a check, it's really shocking! ”

"If those thieves in the Persian Temple succeed, I'm afraid that now the Tang Dynasty is already rotten everywhere, and there is smoke everywhere! Fortunately, God bless the Tang Dynasty, An Lushan's dog thief died before he could launch it, otherwise how could I be sitting in Chang'an City now! ”

Chen Xuanli was suddenly startled when he heard this, looked at Li Longji and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you mean that there is still collusion between the Persian Temple and An Lushan?" Also, does An Lushan really intend to rebel? Could it be that Yang Zhao's words that day turned out to be true? ”

"Humph!" Li Longji slapped his palm on the pillar, and couldn't help but be angry when he remembered Lijingmen's report, "Yang Zhao and An Lushan have always been at odds, he said that An Lushan was not selfish when he wanted to rebel, but he turned out to be a prophecy!" This group of Persian slaves, my Tang Dynasty allowed them to live in Chang'an, and they were actually ungrateful and dared to spy on the artifact! ”

"I have trusted An Lushan all these years and entrusted him with the important task of Northeast China, he has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if something really happens, the Central Plains will immediately be eroded. I thought that Hu Ren was straight, who would have expected such a thing! Xuanli, I am fortunate to be in Chang'an City now. ”

Chen Xuanli's face showed a look of horror, at the beginning, An Lushan's hundreds of thousands of Heshuo elite soldiers, if they really raised the flag to rebel, what the situation would be really unimaginable.

This news is really shocking, he has followed Li Longji since he was still the prince, and he has seen many ups and downs with the Son of Heaven for decades, but after hearing these words, he still can't help but be shocked.

After stabilizing his mind, Chen Xuanli said: "Your Majesty, in this way, this group of Persian slaves and An Lushan actually colluded quite deeply. Lao Chen has something unclear, that An Lushan's father is from Kang Guohu, but his mother is a Turkic descendant of the Ashide clan, but a miscellaneous Hu, why would he collude with these dog thieves in the Persian Temple? Lao Chen said something arrogant, even if An Lushan succeeds, what good are these dog thieves in the Persian Temple? ”

Li Longji snorted heavily: "An Lushan is a descendant of the Kangguo Hu people, and he believes in Zoroastrianism. He regarded himself as the leader of Zoroastrianism in the northeast, and attracted a large number of Hu people with the surname Nine to serve him. The dog thieves in the Persian Temple also believe in the fire Zoroastrianism, and they have Zoroastrian holy relics in their hands, so they hit it off with An Lushan. ”

"According to the report of Lijingmen, these dog thieves helped An Lushan with a large amount of money, on the condition that after An Lushan became the lord of China, they would abandon the famous religion, ban Buddhism, and use fire as the state religion to force people in the world to believe in it."

"Hmph, it's really a good calculation, but I don't know that the hundreds of millions of people in the world believe in the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, where can it be changed with manpower?"

"I want to establish another state religion!" Chen Xuanli was even more shocked when he heard this, and said angrily: "The thief dares! Your Majesty, these Persian slaves are so wolf-like, it's really a pity to die! ”

Li Longji said: "In order to make An Lushan trouble, these dog thieves sent a lot of wealth to An Lushan, all of which were hidden in Xiongwu City. Later, An Lushan died in Chang'an, and the wealth was smuggled away by them. According to the news obtained by Lijingmen, the value of the wealth transported to Fanyang City exceeded five million yuan, and then An Lushan died in Chang'an, and that wealth disappeared. Now this wealth has really fallen into my hands, it can be described as providence, hehe! ”

Chen Xuanli nodded vigorously, the murderous intent loomed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are many Hu people in Chang'an City who believe in Huozhen, and there are also several Huozheng temples. As long as His Majesty gives an order, Lao Chen is willing to lead his troops to burn down these obscene shrines and kill all those who believe in Huozhen! ”

"No." Li Longji shook his head.

"Your Majesty, these guys are so hateful." Chen Xuanli said repeatedly.

Li Longji let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "As the Khan of the Heavens, I must be inclusive. Ma Renjie and Li Jing are border generals, I don't care how to kill people, but I can't do such things. Besides, the people of the Persian temple have already been served by people, and those are just ordinary believers, where can they stir up any storms. ”

"As for the remnants of the Persian temples in various places, there are Lijingmen watching. For this matter, even Lux has left Chang'an City several times. At the moment, everything is under control, and when it is time to close the net, Lux will catch them all. ”

Chen Xuanli nodded.

Li Longji sighed: "The most regrettable thing is that Yan Zhenqing and Gao Wenyuan are still the two Qing families, if it weren't for their decisive launch, I still trust An Lushan, and today's situation is unimaginable." ”

"They are a meritorious servant of the Society, and they are my loyal servants. The sons of the Jingsai Army are also good, and now that I know the truth, I can still only regard them as rebels. An Lushan is a chaotic minister and thief, but he is still worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, and his descendants are rich and noble in Chang'an City. As the Son of Heaven, there are some things that I can't do about it. ”

Chen Xuanli was silent, if An Lushan wanted to rebel, he naturally couldn't say it and would hide it forever. When a person is dead, the matter is sealed and cannot be changed.

"Xuanli, there's one more thing I can tell you. Regardless of life or death, the sons and daughters of the Jingsai Army secretly received a pension of 150 yuan. Now those living sons should have arrived in Anxi, on Ma Renjie's territory, and there is no need to continue to hide in Tibet. ”

Chen Xuanli nodded: "It should be Ma Renjie who cares for them." ”

Li Longji nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "After all, he is the son of Ma Shaobao, and after being a loyal minister, although Ma Renjie's move does not change the habit of a ranger, it makes the minister see his loyalty." ”

Chen Xuanli hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, people's hearts have been unpredictable since ancient times, and An Lushan is a precedent. Lao Chen said something that shouldn't be said, you gave Ma Renjie too much power, and it already made him unable to deal with himself. If His Majesty regards Ma Renjie as a loyal servant, he should reduce his power a little, so that it is best for him. ”

Li Longji smiled: "He is expanding his territory in the west, and I will cut his power at this time, and I will immediately cause discussion, and this matter is definitely not feasible." However, with the matter of An Lushan, I will naturally pay more attention. Lijingmen has been scattered everywhere, and Liaodong, Anxi, Hezhong, and Qiangtang all have their men. ”

"I trust these little ones, but I still have to do what I have to do. However, in my opinion, these little guys are all Han people, so naturally they will not go out of An Lushan and such a thing. An Lushan was not born with a backbone, and he has been favored by me for many years, if he was not seduced by those Persian slaves, he may not have a heart of disobedience. ”

Chen Xuanli nodded: "No matter what, there are lessons from the past, and such things must not be careless." ”

Li Longji nodded with a smile, looked at the sky and said, "Let's go, at today's court meeting, we will still discuss Chen Xilie's posthumous mourning, and we will continue to track down the murderer." I'm so old, and I have to continue acting in front of the ministers, it's really tiring. ”

Chen Xuanli said: "Your Majesty already knows who the murderer is, so Jingzhao Mansion will naturally not be able to find the murderer. It seems that Yang Zhao's black cauldron still has to continue to be memorized. ”

Li Longji nodded and said with a smile: "Chen Xilie is dead, he is naturally going to become the left minister." He is my prime minister, who does he not carry the black cauldron? ”

……

Deep in the depths of Liquanfang, the home of an ordinary Persian merchant.

The door was closed, and between the rockeries in the backyard, a figure walked out and quickly entered the room. Before long, the room was filled with dozens of people.

"The foundation of nearly a hundred years has been ruined like this." An old Persian dressed as a Zoroastrian shaman sighed with a sad face.

"It's just a temple, what's the big deal." A fat shaman at the head sneered, "As long as we are here, our inheritance will still be there." ”

"Five million yuan was given to the Dog Emperor, and the price was too great." Another tall and thin shaman had a painful face.

"In the future, when the flame burns throughout the Tang Kingdom, you will know that these five million yuan is nothing." The fat shaman snorted coldly, "The Lijingmen has resurfaced and has been tracking us for a long time. The people in Fan Yang's area couldn't be contacted, and I thought that the Dog Emperor already knew something. It's hard for us to move on the bright side anymore. This time it happened to be an opportunity, and the five million dollars of wealth were thrown to the Dog Emperor, making him think that we were all dead. In a few years, we will make a comeback, and at that time, you can let the Dog Emperor kneel in front of you and kowtow to you. ”

"Is it that fast?" A saint frowned and said, "An Lushan is dead, where can we find such an agent?" ”

The fat shaman sneered and said, "We originally had two choices, we were originally inclined to An Lushan, so we chose to kill the other one, but we didn't succeed. Now that An Lushan is dead, he is our only choice! ”

"Great Shaman, who are you talking about?" The saint frowned.

"Maybe one day, you'll be caught by Lijingmen. There are some things I can't tell you yet. Rest assured, the era of the fire of the god of light burning everywhere will soon come! The fat shaman sneered and said proudly.

"The powerful people in Datang are just a few people. Of the few, I don't think anyone would be willing to be at the mercy of us. What's more, if you say that person has been abandoned by us, may he not be jealous and choose to cooperate with us? The tall and thin shaman furrowed his brows.

The fat shaman sneered and said: "This seat has enough hole cards in his hand, and he can't help but obey." The matter is a foregone conclusion, and in another three or two years, when the flame burns all over the Tang Kingdom, you will know that what this seat says is true! (To be continued.) )
