Chapter 304: Destroying the Dao
"Lou Guan Dao, let's go, go over and have a look." Li Xin's face was gloomy, his eyes showed a cold light, the light of the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand flickered, and the faces of Chu Suiliang, Liang Shuo and others around him showed anxious looks, and they even scolded Lou Guan Dao in his heart.
Zhongnan Eighteen Cavalry escorted Li Xin and the others towards Li Liang's mansion, and before the mansion, there were more than a dozen Taoist priests standing in that place, holding swords in their hands, their faces were peaceful, but there was still a trace of blood on the sword, and there were still a few soldiers lying on the ground.
"Qihui Daoist." Li Xin looked at the Taoist in front of him, his face was much gloomy, and he said: "Qihui Daoren, you are a monk, not in the red dust, why are you involved in this matter?" β
"Metropolitan Governor, General Li Rail is a good man, although the army was defeated, but he wants to join my Daomen, from now on, don't ask about Hongchen's affairs, and ask the general for the sake of Daomen, bypassing Li Rail this time, I will definitely have a good reward in the future." Qihui Daoren's face was peaceful, and he saluted Li Xin, but he was extremely shocked in his heart, when he saw Li Xin, he was just a small general, but now he is the king of the northwest, how much time has it been.
"You are just a monk, you don't cultivate your Tao well, but you come to manage the affairs of the world, and you killed the soldiers under the command of Benhou, what qualifications do you have to kill them, they fight for the country, you are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, you are just a group of moths, what are you, you still want to be the master for Benhou, who are you? Could it be the Son of Heaven? In other words, do you Lou Guandao also want to learn from Zhang Jiao of the previous dynasty? Li Xin's voice was violent, he snorted coldly at Qihui Daoren, and sneered: "It seems that the stammering and flattery of those nobles of the family have made you forget your original identity, and looking at your appearance, you actually dare to claim to be a master of the world, which really makes Ben Hou laugh to death." β
"Shouyang Hou, what do you want?" After listening to Li Xin's words, Qihui Daoren's originally proud expressions instantly became panicked, although they were a little complacent at first. Originally, I thought that Li Xin would let himself go for the sake of the reputation of these people, but now it seems that Li Xin is obviously not easy to talk to.
"Do you think you can still live if you kill my soldiers? Do you think you can still live if you harbor important criminals in the court? Li Xin looked at Qihui Daoist with a gloomy face, these Daoists are self-righteous, if it were on weekdays, Li Xin might not let go of these people, but not now, not to mention that these people killed their own soldiers and shielded Li Liang. What's more, these guys were sent by Li Yuan, and they have a lot to do with Li Yuan, and Li Xin will not let them go because of this.
"Li Xin, you dare to kill us? There will never be a place for you in the world. After hearing this, Qihui Daoren's face tightened, and he couldn't help but say loudly. Several other Taoists also shouted loudly, and their words could not hide their panic.
"Kill them. Kill our brother and try to live. The Fang Tian painting halberd in Li Xin's hand pointed at Qi Hui and the other Taoists and said loudly.
"Shoot the arrows." Li Xin gave an order, and Yan SΓΉ didn't want to order someone to draw a bow and arrow, only to see a loud roar. Sharp arrows flew out of the air, and in an instant, they shot Qihui Daoist into a hedgehog. Although these poor Taoists know some martial arts, they have no power to fight back in the face of such sharp arrows, and they have died under the bow and arrow.
"You. You" Qihui Daoren looked at Li Xin with wide eyes, looking dead.
"It's really self-defeating." Li Xin looked at the building in front of him with disdain. It's just a group of Taoists, but they try to challenge their authority. These Taoists were really spoiled by those nobles of the Guanlong family, but unfortunately, today I met Li Xin, a person who hates these Taoists the most. Qihui Daoist undoubtedly overestimated his influence in Li Xinxin, and in the end, he even lost his life here.
"Rush in." Li Xin looked at the mansion in front of him, his face was gloomy, and he commanded the army to kill into Li Rail's mansion, and there were bursts of screams and curses in the mansion in an instant, but it was a pity that Li Xin was standing outside, silent, since Li Rail was going to rebel, he had to be ready to be killed by himself, even with his family.
The sound of fighting did not stop until dawn, and the entire Liangzhou City instantly fell into peace, whether it was a strong family or an ordinary person, after all, these people were more or less related to these rebellions, all the people in Liangzhou City were afraid that Li Xin would settle accounts after the autumn, after Li Xin entered Liangzhou City, the first thing he did was to order Chu Suiliang to Zhang Bang to settle the people, and ordered Cao Zhen to temporarily guard Liangzhou County, Li Yun was the governor of Liangzhou, these two people are still very prestigious in Liangzhou City, sure enough, With Li Xin's order, the entire Liangzhou City settled down in an instant.
"Metropolitan Governor, this is from the Qihui Dao people." In the palace, Li Yun took a few letters and respectfully handed them to Li Xin.
Li Xin tore open the letter inside, and his face changed suddenly, because this letter was written by Li Yuan to Qihui Daoren, and the content in it was very simple, that is, to let Li Liang slow down the pace of Li Xin's development.
"Humph! Do you want to be a soldier now? It's a pity that you are not left behind in Taiyuan now. Li Xin remembered that Li Yuan's strength developed rapidly because he stayed in this position in Taiyuan. Although Li Yuan is now the ambassador of Hedong and can exterminate the bandits in the territory, he is actually mostly biased towards civil affairs, and when he becomes a general and stays behind in Taiyuan, he can truly grasp the military power and have the ability to compete with Li Xin.
"Dadu Governor, my subordinates have heard that after the Qihui Daoist came to Liangzhou, he has a great relationship with many families in Liangzhou City, and his subordinates also know that there are many gold, silver and jewelry hidden in his Taoist temple." Li Yun looked up at Li Xin.
Li Xin's face moved, he glanced at the letter in his hand, clapped his hands, and saw a man in black walk in, Li Xin handed the letter to the other party, and said: "Pass the order, according to the address above, seal all the Taoist temples above, the Taoist priest inside carefully interrogated, people who have nothing to do with Louguan Dao can be let go, where it is in the northwest territory, Louguan Dao must not appear, and if any Taoist temple is found to be related to Louguan Dao, the mountain gate will be closed, and Shen Qianqiu will personally investigate." β
Li Yun was terrified when he listened to it, Li Xin wanted to close all the Taoist temples in the territory, and it was rumored that there was an organization of Jinyiwei under Li Xin's command, and the black-clothed man in front of him could not get it as the rumored Jinyiwei. After some actions of Jin Yiwei, if it is not done well, the entire Taoist temple on Ganliang Road will be fatally hit.
Li Xin stayed in Liangzhou for ten days, not only to deal with the remaining affairs in Liangzhou, but also to guide the affairs of Liangzhou Tuntian. Liangzhou's Tuntian has not progressed, before Li Xin thought that the prestige of the imperial court was still shrouded in the Great Sui River, Li Xin blatantly had any action in the northwest, but it was impossible, Yang Guang would do it to himself at any time, now Yang Guang's prestige is lost, the northwest is far away from the Central Plains, what is the action, I don't know how much time it will take to reach the Central Plains, when Yang Guang takes action against himself, I am afraid it will be a few months or half a year, according to Li Xin's speculation, Yang Guang returned to Beijing from Yanmen Pass this time, I won't stay in Jingshi for a long time, the next step is to go to Jiangnan, and I will die in Jiangnan in the future. Li Xin was relieved to boldly display his ambitions in Liangzhou.
Chu Suiliang was also by Li Xin's side, which was of great help to the implementation of Li Xin's policies. As for Liang Shuo, Cao Zhen, Li Yun and others also joined Li Xin's shogunate at this time, either for the affairs of Liangzhou, or for the affairs of Ganliang Dao, these people are rare talents in Xiliang, knowing that after Li Xin returned to Lanzhou this time, he was to sit and watch the success or failure of the world, and he would not be called king in calculation, but the opening of the mansion was expected, and the entire Northwest Ganliang Dao was officially included in Li Xin's rule.
In fact, what they don't know is that Li Xin stayed in Liangzhou not only to prepare for his future opening of the mansion, but more importantly, he didn't know how to face Princess Nanyang, what was the main purpose of Princess Nanyang's stay in Lanzhou, Li Xin didn't know, Du Ruhui also wrote to think that Princess Nanyang was not only to see Li Xin, but also wanted Li Xin to help Yang Guang through the current difficulties.
"Dengshan, Master Pei wrote to say that I have gone a little too far in dealing with Louguandao, what do you think?" Li Xin was lying in the gazebo of Li Liang's mansion, although it was only May, it was still a little hot during the day in Liangzhou. Of course, Pei Shiju would not accuse Li Xin of his actions, but he persuaded him very tactfully.
"The boss is well-informed, so he naturally has his reasons, but his subordinates think that whether it is Buddhism has its advantageous side, it also has his disadvantageous side, if Louguan Dao is an ordinary Taoist temple, presumably the metropolitan governor will not do anything about it, but since he dares to intervene in the affairs of my Western Regions, he will have to bear the consequences after the matter is leaked." Chu Suiliang pondered for a moment and said: "However, Louguandao has some strength in Guanzhong and Northwest, as long as it is Daomen, almost all of them have some relationship with them, and it is inevitable that there will be secret news, the general killed several people in Louguandao today, and other Taoists in Louguandao will inevitably have the feeling of being sad and even more hostile to our Northwest Army." β
"And what do you mean?" Li Xin did not underestimate the religion of this era, in feudal society, many peasant uprisings started from religion, if it weren't for the fact that Lou Guandao's people were too excessive, and it was Li Yuan who supported them, Li Xin would not have killed those people. But it has happened, and Li Xin will not regret it.
"General, since there is a Taoist gate, there is a Buddhist gate." Chu Suiliang said: "Although the strength of the Daomen is very large, but the Buddhism is not bad, there are many doors in the land of Guanzhong, and there are many Buddha doors in the land of Kanto. The strength of Buddhism is not small, and if you use Buddhism to deal with Taoism, it must be able to play a lot of benefits. (To be continued......)
