Chapter 157: Wind and Rain
"Amitabha. The Great Zen Master Wuxin said lightly, "All vassal states and immortal sects have regulations, and any treasure that anyone who enters the Lishan Palace will belong to the individual. Whoever violates this rule is an enemy of the entire cultivation realm. The Buddha is still angry, let alone a Buddhist person. I am a Buddhist, and I am willing to escort Prince Li Leng. ”
"And my Confucianism, whoever dares to attack Emperor Li Leng will be the enemy of my Confucianism, and I will never be polite to treat the enemy. Zong Xi said coldly.
"And my Daomen. "Kenshin's murderous aura is more fierce than anyone else's, and his attitude is even more determined. His meaning is expressed very clearly, Li Leng is a little kind to him, if it weren't for Li Leng, he would have to go around in this realm for the rest of his life, maybe he would go crazy and fall into the devil's path. This kindness is no less than preaching and solving doubts, so why shouldn't he stand on Li Leng's side?
"And my Han Empire. Liu Yi, the new son of the Han Empire, also looked firm, and said, "If it weren't for Prince Li Leng, my Han Empire would be in danger of destroying the country." Today, he is besieged, and if our Han Empire does not help, it will be ungrateful. Here, I swear on behalf of the Han Empire that whoever dares to attack Prince Li Leng will be the enemy of our Han Empire, and my Han Empire will be destroyed, and they will not be happy. "Such a heavy oath and such a fierce murderous aura, let everyone see the determination and will of the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Li Daoyuan's face became very ugly, he never expected that there would be so many vassal states and sects to support Li Leng, which made his heart extremely uncomfortable and uneasy, and he deeply felt the threat brought by Li Leng, but the "Annihilation Sutra" was in Li Leng's hands, he had to protect Li Leng, otherwise, Li Leng had something to do, and the "Annihilation Sutra" fell into the hands of others, which was a huge impact and threat to the Tang Empire.
"I, the Tang Empire, will never allow others to bully. Li Daoyuan had to express his position, and said coldly, "What's more, Li Leng is my emperor, the most dazzling young genius of the Tang Empire, and the future of my Tang Empire." Who dares to challenge my Tang Empire?"
For a while, the venue of thousands of people became silent, and no one dared to do anything, they all saw so many people standing by Li Leng's side, giving Li Leng full support and assistance, if they were desperate to kill Li Leng, it would be the enemy of the entire cultivation realm. Who has such a great power to be the enemy of the Cultivation Realm? Unless these people don't want to live.
Li Leng didn't say anything, took the identity jade plate of the "Annihilation Sutra", flew with the sword, and left calmly.
No one dared to stop Li Leng, and that killing completely shocked all the monks.
They knew in their hearts that at this moment, whoever dared to stop Li Leng was asking for their own death.
Li Shijie and Li Daoyuan hurriedly took people to leave with Li Leng, the Dao Conference is really over here, Lishan Palace is also closed, and it will only appear after a hundred years, and it doesn't make much sense for them to stay at the top of Kunlun Mountain.
Back in Chang'an City, Li Daoyuan asked Li Leng for the "Annihilation Sutra" many times, and even promised Li Leng that he was willing to give him enough power and benefits, but Li Leng was always indifferent.
On the Taoist Conference, he saw Li Daoyuan's selfish side clearly, and saw Li Daoyuan's ruthless mind, at this time, he had no father-son affection for Li Daoyuan. But the Jade Concubine is still in the palace, and with his cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm, he can't leave the Tang Empire with the Jade Concubine.
There is no problem for him to protect himself, but it is very difficult to protect the Jade Concubine. Therefore, he also wants to use the national strength of the Tang Empire to protect the Jade Concubine. The best way is to seize power in the Tang Empire.
But Li Daoyuan's precautions against people are too strict, especially in the sharing of power, and it is even more impossible for him to do it. Even if Li Daoyuan is willing to give up part of his power in order to "annihilate the scriptures", it is not the core and supreme power after all, and it does not have much impact on the overall situation. Li Leng wants military power, real military power. Only with military power in hand can he truly decide the future of the Tang Empire and truly affect the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty.
The opportunity has finally arrived.
On the fourth day of Li Leng's return to Chang'an City, a news that shook the government and the opposition came from the border pass: His Royal Highness the Prince's 200,000 troops were annihilated, the crown prince Li Chengqian was captured, the vanguard general Shangguan Yun was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown, life and death are unknown, 40 cities have been lost in northern Xinjiang, and the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong clan is about to hit Dengfeng City. Once the iron cavalry of the Yuanrong tribe took Dengfeng City, then the Tang Dynasty must move the capital from Chang'an City to the southern city, and from then on, the Tang Empire lost its northern territory.
This news shocked the entire government and the opposition, especially the Empress Shangguan Wan'er, who lost her favorite brother and son, and the whole person went crazy all of a sudden, and went to the Qiankun Palace every day to beg His Majesty Li Daoyuan to send troops to rescue Li Chengqian and Shangguan Yun.
But Li Daoyuan chose to remain silent at this time.
The Son of Heaven was silent, and all the courtiers didn't know what the Son of Heaven was thinking, and they didn't know what the Son of Heaven was going to do next, so they all remained silent.
In fact, all the courtiers knew very well in their hearts that the situation in northern Xinjiang had evolved into what it is today, and the decision-making mistakes of Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven, occupied a large factor. The crown prince Li Chengqian was not good at military affairs, but he sent him to be the commander. King Yu harbored evil intentions, and the general of Northern Xinjiang was his man, in order to contain the power of the crown prince Li Chengqian, the Son of Heaven actually sent him to be the supervisor of the army.
From the very beginning, there was already discord within them, and there were serious open and covert struggles, so how could it be possible to unify military orders and unify with the outside world? Therefore, defeat was doomed.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Li Chengqian would lose so badly, and almost lost all his family resources in northern Xinjiang.
According to the news from the scouts, when Li Chengqian fell into a place of boundless danger, the superintendent of the army Yu Wang strictly ordered the general of Northern Xinjiang to stand still, and it was not until Li Chengqian was captured and Shangguan Yun's whereabouts were unknown that he ordered the Northern Xinjiang army to rescue him in a false appearance.
But the overall situation has been decided, and his cozy attitude cannot change the final overall situation in northern Xinjiang at all, but will make the situation in northern Xinjiang even more unfavorable, and Datang may lose half of the country.
In order to recover the northern Xinjiang, Li Daoyuan, the son of heaven, sent all the troops that could be sent to Li Chengqian in Chang'an City, thinking that Li Chengqian had the support of the Shangguan family and a strong network in the Xiuxian sect, even if he could not completely recover the thirty cities in the northern Xinjiang, the situation would not be so bad. Who would have thought that in just four months, Li Chengqian almost gave up the northern Xinjiang to the Yuanrong tribe.
At this moment, the Tang Empire is really stormy, and it will be wiped out by the Yuanrong clan at any time.
The situation is really developing in an uncontrollable direction.
