40. Unexpected "harvest"

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"Lord, don't have such an expression, this is not a trouble, but a pretty good opportunity."

The battle for the throne of Wusun, which was supposed to be over, had to be changed from the original full stop to the current comma because of Jia Xu's appearance.

Of course, this is not to say that the former Wusun princess Xuanmi, as the new queen of Wusun, has received much resistance - even if there are people who have a considerable prejudice against this obviously supported queen, but under the announcement of the male relative closest to the old king Pimi's bloodline, Le Mi, who will renounce the inheritance of the throne and will follow the Han people to study in the Han Dynasty, and the former queen Wusun who has been promoted to the queen mother of Wusun and Li Shushi have joined forces to suppress it, those who can oppose it have disappeared for the time being.

Therefore, the problem that Jia Xu gave Li Shushi now actually came from the captives from Guishan who were captured in this battle for the throne, especially the mysterious person whose identity was unknown.

"Can you be sure of this person's identity? We must not be sloppy in this matter, otherwise we will fall into passivity. ”

Although Li Shushi knew that Jia Xu could discuss with him in such a positive tone to confirm the identity of the other party, but because the impact of this news on him was a little greater, he still couldn't help but confirm it to Jia Xu again.

"Yes, I am afraid that you will find it hard to believe that you know the lord, but it is true. But then again, compared to the lord, who often runs around in groups, it seems even more unbelievable. ”

"Wenhe, are you sure you're not complaining......"

"Sure, yes, yes...... I'm really complaining......"

"But it's really interesting, according to the intelligence, shouldn't he confront the Xianbei people in Kangju now?"

"Maybe the one over there is just a stand-in, or maybe the other party actually has something unspeakable."

"Alright, then let's meet this 'honorable' 'guest'."

Seeing Jia Xu, who was complaining more and more, Li Shushi ended the conversation very consciously.

Of course, although the conversation between Li Shushi and Jia Xu was over, both of them knew very well that what they needed to do now was just the beginning, and this qiē originated from the Guishan people they had detained during the turmoil for the throne, or more precisely, from the mysterious person from Guishan, who had a great deal of martial arts and governance, which the Empress Dowager Wusun attached great importance to.

Because after Jia Xu's investigation, it is basically possible to determine the identity of the other party - the eldest son of the former king of the Kushan Kingdom, Hubisega, and the current nominal king of the Kushan Kingdom, Vesudeva - the Wusun people actually captured the king of their sworn enemy?!

"Actually, I prefer to be called by people who call me Wave Tune rather than Vesudeva, although Vesuteva is the name given to me by my father, but Wave Tune is the first place I have been given to display my talents, and I am very impressed by the qiē there."

The titular king of the Kushan Kingdom, who prefers to call himself a wave of tune, did not have the slightest sense of decadence as a prisoner, but spoke calmly and eloquently when facing Li Shushi, as if the two were friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Isn't His Royal Highness the King of Guishan afraid that I will hand you over to the Wusun people, I think the Wusun people will thank me very much."

"You won't. First, my Guishan also had a very close relationship with the Han for a long time, and then he didn't make any dangerous moves, your approach will only make the Guishan people dissatisfied, not to mention whether they can satisfy the Wusun people, it's hard to say, what kind of temper the Wusun people are, after such a long time, you should know very well. Second, what's the point of handing me over to the Wusun people, it's not that I don't have a younger brother, or that many people in Guishan are looking forward to you doing this. ”

In the face of Li Shushi's temptation, Bo Tuo was neither angry nor anxious, but had a calm face, as if he had determined Li Shushi's choice. And by the way, the Chinese language of this Kushan king is even better than that of the Wusun people, who are closer to the Han Dynasty.

Sure enough, even though the communication between the two sides has almost stopped, after all, there was once a suzerain-vassal relationship, and the influence of the Great Han has not completely subsided, and looking at the attitude of the nominal king of the Guishan Kingdom in front of him, it seems that he still knows a lot about the Great Han.

Of course, even if Li Shushi didn't say anything about Bo Tuo's answer, he still agreed very much in his heart.

Although the identity of Bo Tuo is Li Shushi's side, but the successful arrest relies on the strength of the Wusun people, whether it is the dead Gui Mi or the later Wusun Queen Mother, they are the key people to arrest him, Li Shushi can not say that the role played in it is not the key but the duel is not the key, so the Wusun people may thank him, but it is really hard to say how much Cheng Dù can have.

At the same time, as long as you see the identity of the king who has been emphasizing the other party's "name" before, you can know that although this old man has the identity of the king of the Kushan Kingdom, in fact, life is not so easy.

And this is also an important reason why Jia Xujian yì Li Shushi seized the opportunity.

In fact, the previous king of the Kushan, Hu Bi Sega, died even earlier than Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, but because Hu Bi Sejia succeeded to the throne very early, he was not very old when he died even if he was in power for more than 20 years. Perhaps thinking that he had long enough time to continue ruling his country, the king, who died suddenly and violently in his prime, did not crown prince during his lifetime.

As a result, the question arises, and who should be named as the next successor of Guishan has become a question that puzzles everyone.

Of course, as the eldest son of Khobisega, the wave tone has a natural advantage, but the problem is obviously not so simple.

Although Li Shushi did not know much about the official position of the Kushan, he could basically know that there was a relatively obvious confrontation in the Kushan country at that time - the old minister in charge of internal affairs, Kakati, was the staunchest supporter of the Bo Tune, and at the same time, the second person in the military, Bakakati, was also an important supporter of the Bo Tune, but the number one person in the Kushan military, Pola, and the most powerful local nobleman in the northern part of the Kushan, Abu Shek, were the supporters of the Bo Tune's younger brother Washserga.

The supporters of both sides can be said to be strong, powerful, and connected, and almost equal, so that for a year after the burial of the old king Hubiseja, there was not actually a king even in name.

However, these are only the surface of this struggle for the throne.

And the essence of this battle for the throne that broke out in Kushan was a general explosion of religious contradictions accumulated in the Kushan Empire.

As mentioned earlier, in order to lure the people of the eastern frontier region of the Sabbatical Empire, which was at war with Rome in the west, to the Kushan Empire, the Hubisega introduced Zoroastrianism, which was widely believed by the people in this region, into the Kushan Empire, and even invited the Zoroastrian high priest Papek, who had great influence in the region, to hold important religious positions in the country, and used the state to help the spread of Zoroastrianism in exchange for the infiltration of the Kushan Empire into the Sabbatical Fars region.

Papek, as the high priest of Zoroastrianism in the Fars region, has enough influence, especially in his base city of Stahel, and Papek has also thought of using this influence, but although the attention of rest has been firmly locked in the west, even the little remaining strength can easily extinguish Papek's rebellion in Stahel, and this defeat obviously let Papek know his powerlessness in the face of the state machine.

It can be said that the cooperation between Papek and Hubisega is an instant hit, and if Hubisega is allowed to live for a longer time, perhaps the vast land of Fars has become an important area in the territory of the Kushan Empire.

But it's a pity that history has no ifs.

The Zoroastrian faith spread very successfully in Kushan with the help of the state, and many people chose to believe in this new religion, and for a time the prestige of Zoroastrianism quickly rose to a fairly strong point.

However, the success of Zoroastrianism has aroused the dissatisfaction of certain vested interest groups, the largest of which is Buddhism, which had been the largest religious force in Kushan before the arrival of Zoroastrianism, and it can even be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the state religion.

Buddhism, which has become the most important religious group in Kushan since the founding king of the Kushan Empire, has helped the Yueshi people, who were originally nomads, to gradually integrate with the local complex tribes and aborigines and gradually transform into a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic empire, and has also been responsible for helping the Kushan Empire pacify the people in the newly occupied areas.

Although the Kushan Empire, once a nomadic people, had a relatively tolerant mentality towards various civilizations and cultures, as the competition between Zoroastrianism and Buddhism gradually rose to the political level, the relationship between the two sides also changed from the original healthy competition to the vicious competition today.

After all, religious wars are basically the most brutal wars in the world.

With the rapid spread of Zoroastrianism, and even began to peep into the status of Buddhism in Kushan, the Buddhist school spent a lot of resources to cultivate and support the wave tune.

Zoroastrianism was able to spread in Kushan because of the support of the Kushan state, and although it can continue to survive even without the original support, it is conceivable that Buddhism, which has regained support, wants to overpower it again.

Papek was naturally not willing to fail, which is why Vashsega, the most important object of Zoroastrianism, appeared.

If it weren't for the large-scale unrest in Khorezm and other regions in the northern part of the Kushan country, the Kushan would have had to have a leader and backbone, and perhaps the battle for the throne would have continued.

Of course, although Vashsega temporarily retreated in a very high manner, it is conceivable that his ambition will never be extinguished so easily, and it is even conceivable that he must be preparing more ferocious means.

However, it is precisely for this reason that Li Shushi is also very clear that the current wave tune is in a state where he can get enough benefits, as long as he grasps Cheng Dù well, he may be able to gain more from this trip, more than he once wanted.

ps: Tomorrow will be the day of the start of the college entrance examination for another year, and I wish all the students who are about to enter the examination room can achieve a good result.
