Mo Sun also put away his contempt: "I heard that the 40,000 people led by Wang Jin in the Western Regions Army came out of the Ganquan Army, and the kind of thing called musket equipped with it is extremely powerful, but unfortunately no one can get that kind of weapon, we just heard about it, and we haven't really seen that thing." ”

Qiqiu smiled: "It's finally worth the trip, not only did I find out the army of Daqin, the city defense of Xianyang, but also negotiated the matter of commerce, and the number of beasts that Daqin needs is also extremely considerable, these things will be said when I return to Guishan and ask the king." ”

"As for that Wang Jin, although he has a good relationship with me, he has never revealed any useful information, so he can only choose another opportunity......

Early the next morning, when Qiqiu left Xianyang with Wu and others, he learned that the bodies of the rebels had been hastily buried.

"Inspector, although these people are rebels, after all, they are my Guishan's people, can you bring their corpses back together?"

Xiao Wu smiled and said: "Prince Qiqiu, although it is winter now, the temperature is still very high, once the corpse decays on the road, I am afraid that there will be a plague, besides, I don't have many people with me, and I can't carry these corpses." ”

Seeing that Qiqiu was still a little hesitant, Wang Jin stepped forward and persuaded him: "Prince Qiqiu doesn't have to worry too much, Your Majesty has ordered them to be buried outside the city, if Prince Qiqiu can't rest assured, he can come to Xianyang to worship in the future." ”

Wang Jin was scolded by Zhang Han last night, although he was vigilant, he couldn't show it on his face.

Chiqiu immediately changed his smiling face: "It's just a group of traitors, I just want to bring them back to warn those young people that they can't talk about worship." In that case, I won't bother you, let's go. ”

If he showed too much concern for these rebels, he was also worried that he would become suspicious.

————

The apse of the chapter platform.

After Meng Yi came in to greet him: "Your Majesty, I have already checked the approximation." ”

"Say it."

"Yes. According to Chikuka, those men were the best soldiers of Kushan, sent to protect his safety, but according to our examination of the corpses, all of them showed signs of starvation and very heavy farming, and it was almost certain that they were slaves. ”

I smiled, this point was already very suspicious: "Kushan is a slave country, it is not surprising if the soldiers are slaves, is there anything else to discover?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise! The minister carefully inspected the rebels who besieged the post house, but found nothing unusual, but later Xianyang Ling reminded the minister that these people were all registered Guishan merchants! ”

"Hmph......" I said in a deep voice: "Gui Shuang played such a trick, and he really came to spy on Daqin." ”

I raised my head and ordered: "Order, strictly investigate the merchants of Guishan, and other merchants from the West must also be carefully investigated, there must be hidden details!" ”

"Yes!"

I thought for a moment: "Summoning Li Si and Feng Zheng." ”

Soon the two came together.

I told the two of them the results of Meng Yi's investigation, and finally said, "Did that ploy work?" ”

Feng Zai arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, Qiqiu gave the minister two hundred gold coins, and asked the minister to encourage His Majesty to buy more beasts, it seems to have worked." ”

He hurriedly added: "Two hundred gold coins have been charged into Taicang." ”

Li Si stroked his beard and said slowly: "Judging from Qiqiu's performance, this person is too shrewd, and the minister thinks that he should not be so easily fooled." ”

I agreed: "Yes, not only is he shrewd, but the key is that this person understands the culture of Daqin very thoroughly!" I guess he should know about buying deer to make Chu. ”

Feng Zai was a little puzzled: "Judging from his performance yesterday, it seems that he is quite interested in this matter. ”

Li Si smiled and reminded, "Feng Xiang, this matter can be beneficial to Great Qin, or it can be beneficial to one of their marquis. Don't forget, Guishan has five marquis, similar to the princes of the world during the Warring States period. ”

Feng Zheng suddenly realized: "Could it be that Qiqiu wants to use the hand of Great Qin to destroy the remaining four Xihou and unify Guishan?" ”

I nodded with a heavy face: "I'm afraid it is." ”

Feng Zai sighed: "The cicada has to be beautiful and forget about it." The praying mantis fights with its eyes, and forgets when it sees it. Different magpies benefit from it, see the benefits and forget the truth, Zhuangzi Cheng does not deceive me. ”

"Alright." I laughed and scolded: "You feel a lot." ”

Feng Zai smiled embarrassedly.

"Although there are praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, there are also sandpipers and mussels competing for fishermen's profits." I said lightly: "The ruler hill wants to use the Great Qin, and the great Qin may not be able to use the ruler hill." ”

I looked at Feng Zheng: "If Qiqiu has such a mind, then it is up to you, you must not let the Guishan Ministry be left alone, Qiqiu can bribe you, you can naturally bribe the officials of Guishan, there are always people who can't resist the temptation of interests." ”

Feng Zheng nodded and muttered, "Last night, Qiqiu said that his younger brother seemed to be competing with him for the throne, maybe he could start from here. ”

I was noncommittal and said, "He is a man of cunning, and his words cannot be trusted, so act with caution." ”

"The minister understands!"

After discussing this matter, I sighed lightly: "In addition to this matter, there is another matter that worries me a lot. ”

"Listen quietly!"

"Xiao Wu said that there are disciples in the Western Regions!"

Feng Zheng was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said, "Is that the religion that Your Majesty is talking about?" ”

I nodded, and said worriedly: "Yes, the leader is called Dhara Gua, who came to the Western Regions along the trade route from the Peacock Dynasty to the Western Regions, and now he is opening an altar to preach the Dharma in the Western Regions, which has attracted some believers. ”

Feng Zheng's focus is still peculiar: "Just one person? Relying on one person can make people follow themselves, this Dhara Gua has a talent for doing things! ”

I was speechless for a while, and I didn't bother to complain about him: "What? Zhuangzi, Mencius, Confucius, Mozi...... I still have fewer such 'talents' in Huaxia? But which one is really the phase? It's one thing to be knowledgeable, it's another thing to be physical. Besides, there is an essential difference between religion and school, as I have said before. ”

Feng Zai smiled awkwardly: "That's ......"

Li Si spoke: "What does Your Majesty want to do?" ”

I have a headache, the power of religion should not be underestimated, although it was said well before, the use of coercive means to prevent religion from entering Daqin, but now it seems that the effect is very small, in the future, if Daqin really unifies the mainland, it will not be able to wipe out all the existing religions.

"Now it seems like there's no better way." I thought for a while: "Send someone to the Western Regions secretly and invite this Dhara Gua to Xianyang, I want to have a good chat with him." ”

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, not as an atheist's narrow thinking, but I have always believed that even religion must have its own pursuit, and there is no such thing as the four major emptiness, and persuading people to believe in religion is not a profit-seeking behavior, and I can only see if I can persuade Dhara to preach according to my ideas.

"Chen understands, so I will arrange for someone to invite him......" Feng Zheng paused: "What if he doesn't want to come?" ”

I sneered: "There are still people in this world who I don't move?" ”

Feng Zheng was surprised, and smiled: "Chen understands!" ”

"Don't make too much noise, otherwise it will help him become famous."

"Yes!"
