Chapter 214: The Awkward Elector

Wang Shichong was cold, all the chess pieces he originally planted in the Luoyang garrison were pulled out by Yang Guang, and Yang Guang also came to change the defense of an army, and Zhang Xutuo fell.

This veteran is a famous general of the Great Sui and a hardcore supporter of the Yang family. In the years when Yang Guang was set aside by Yuwen Valve, I don't know how many forces tried to win over this veteran, but this one was indifferent at all.

As soon as Yang Guang came back, he easily transferred a military order.

Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Great Sui, and Yang Guang supervised the construction as soon as he took the throne, and this city has left a profound imprint of the Yang family. Yang Guang dared to enter Luoyang lightly, and it was for this reason.

That's right, now in Luoyang, Yang Guang doesn't have many resources to control.

In the past few years since Wang Shichong became the Luoyang Order, with the help of the power of the Daming Zun Sect, he excluded other forces and stepped up his control of Luoyang City.

But he has never held high the anti-banner like Li Valve, and directly occupied Luoyang City, leaving aside the imprint of Sui Dynasty officials.

It's not that he doesn't want to do this, but he can't do anything for the time being, the situation in Luoyang City is too complicated, and it is so complicated that Yang Guang had to retreat to Jiangdu back then.

Yang Guang's retreat into Jiangdu can be regarded as calming the political storm in Luoyang and providing Wang Shichong with the best environment.

Wang Shichong's ability is not small, but he can't put aside the identity of the Great Sui official to adjust the situation in Luoyang.

Wang Shichong spent several years cleaning up and balancing the forces of all parties in Luoyang, and he planned very thoroughly, and he was also waiting for Yang Guang to die. Otherwise, the deep-rooted Great Sui imprint on his body will become a stain on his struggle for world domination.

If you want to dominate the world and attract talents, you must not have moral and political stains on you.

You must know that in the original work, Yang Guang died, and when all the former Sui officials and title owners competed for dominance in the world, they all brought out the descendants of the Yang family as a shield, and then sent troops to dominate the world.

Only a person like Kou Zhong, who is so innocent that he can no longer be innocent, can carry out his own banner.

Kou Zhong was born as a commoner, and he didn't eat official meals, and Yang Guang's death had nothing to do with him.

With such an innocent background, there is no moral and political stain to speak of under his own banner.

―――――――――――－

Now the problem Wang Shichong is facing is a choice, his ambition has not yet been exposed, Yang Guang has returned to his original eloquence, and it is even more terrifying than before.

He now has two choices, one is the direct opposite, after all, after three years of operation, he still has some power and strength in Luoyang City. The other is secretly dormant and waiting for the right moment.

There are pros and cons to every option, and it's hard to say. But if you make the wrong choice, the consequences are really unpredictable.

The former choice seems to have the greatest opportunity, but the person who is most anxious now is not him Wang Shichong. And if he wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled a long time ago, so why wait until now?

Therefore, Wang Shichong finally chose the latter, and now the time is not right, let's lie dormant for the time being.

If Yang Guangzhen reveals any flaws, then it is a good opportunity for him to take advantage of.

How could it be possible, even if the original Yang Guang didn't know, the current Yang Guang definitely knew that Wang Shichong's background was not a secret in Yang Guang's eyes.

But so what?

As an emperor, you must have an extraordinary mind and means, Yang Guang consciously can suppress Wang Shichong, as long as Wang Shichong does not clearly raise the anti-flag, then he has always been a Great Sui official, and he must listen to the holy decree of the emperor. Wang Shichong is also a rare talent, so he naturally has to make the best use of his talents and make the best use of his talents.

As for the Great Ming Zun Sect or something, compared to the Buddhism Demon Sect, they really belong to the second-rate level forces, will Yang Guang care about them? As long as they don't jump out, Yang Guangli doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

If they dared to jump out, Yang Guang wouldn't mind slapping the fly to death.

Although the current Yang Guang cannot perfectly control Luoyang, he is also an existence that other forces cannot ignore.

Now all forces are waiting to see a good show.

―――――――――――――

Cihang Jingzhai has been preparing for several years of drama, the election of the emperor of Luoyang.

Such a drama will undoubtedly expand the influence of Cihang Jingzhai and Buddhism, improve its own compulsion, and raise itself to a position above the imperial power.

This is the highest pursuit of this sect.

Ecclesiastical power is above imperial power.

Don't the other forces know what Cihang Jingzhai is up to?

How can it be?

They absolutely knew that they just took a fancy to the heirloom jade seal in Cihang Jingzhai's hand and had to cooperate.

The idea of Buddhism is a ding-dong sound.

But the problem is that since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the Celestial Empire to override the imperial power.

Since the establishment of Yanhuang orthodoxy by the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the unification of the Central Plains, and the expansion of the four wildernesses, countless alien barbarians have either been eliminated or assimilated. At the time of the Han Dynasty, a large and great Han nation was formed.

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After the Wuhu Chaos and China, the newly rising Han nation, this concept of unity is even more difficult to erase.

Imperial supremacy!

Even the powerful Zhuzi Baijia are supporters and adherents of this concept.

Buddhism, a foreign sect, wants to put the clergy above the imperial power.

I have to say, they really think too much.

Even in the original book, the final result has not changed much, and the imperial power is still supreme. Buddhism was suppressed in turns, after the emperor suppressed, followed by the Daomen suppression, and finally the Empress of the Demon Gate ascended the throne, and it was suppressed and suppressed. Cihang Jingzhai and the major Buddhist sects were all seriously injured, and it was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty that they recovered their vitality and came out to make trouble with the wind and rain.

At that time, Cihang Jingzhai was still in the rivers and lakes, but in the whole world, it had no influence in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

In this world, the arrival of a visitor from another world in Yang Pan completely interrupted the process of the original time and space.

Cihang Jingzhai was now forced to the edge of the cliff, completely embarrassed.

――――――――――――――

In the Central Plains, the deterrence of imperial power, ordinary people can feel that those family lords who have been inherited for thousands of years all have extraordinary heritage and influence, but they also have to maintain the fear of imperial power.

The Great Sui is already stormy, and the world is against it.

But as long as Yang Guang did not die, the imperial power of the Great Sui still existed, and the name of righteousness was in his body. Powerful as the four major valves, in addition to the Li valve who had already rebelled before this, Dugu Valve admitted, obediently followed Yang Guang behind the flag and shouted, becoming Yang Guang's lackey help, this is not surprising, because Dugu Valve itself is a descendant, and supporting the Yang family is beneficial to them, and the old lady who is the master of Dugu is very clear that there is no top talent who can call the shots in the next generation of Dugu and even the next generation？

Among the four major gate valves, the Yuwen valve was eradicated by Yang Guang, which can be described as vigorous and resolute, highlighting Yang Guang's means and once again reiterating the strength of the imperial power.

The name of righteousness is in the body.

Although the Song Valve was dissatisfied with the Yang family's world, they were also unable to compete for the world. Whether the world changes the owner or not, for Song Valve, it is actually the same.

Therefore, Song Valve can sit still and become a hardcore neutral wall-riding faction, no matter how Cihang Jingzhai tries to win him over, Song Que is as stable as Mount Tai.

In the original work, why did Song Que support Kou Zhong?

In the final analysis, I can't get used to Li Valve's face and bloodline.

Compared to Li Valve, when he was fighting for hegemony in the world, he knelt and licked the Turk's face.

Song Que, who had always adhered to the unification of the Han Dynasty, couldn't stand it no matter what, so he had to support Kou Zhong as the last struggle.

Can't Song Que see Kou Zhong's temperament? No, he can see it, but at that time, he had no other choice but to take risks.

Compared with Li Valve, although the Yang family is not perfect in blood, even Song Que has to admit that Yang Jian has made great contributions to the entire Han nation. Without Yang Jian, he ended the Wuhu Rebellion, unified the world, and re-established the dominance of the Han people. Then the whole world, I'm afraid it's still a mess. The Hu people are first-class citizens, and the Han people are second-class citizens.

Song Que was not convinced, but in fact, he still agreed with the Yang family's dominance in his heart.

On top of the major rights and wrongs, Song Que has never been ambiguous.

Take a look, after Yang Guang was set aside and after he returned to power, Song Valve has been silent.

For Song Valve, Yang's control of the world does not hinder the interests and status of Song Valve. No matter how long Yang Guang's hand is, it can't reach Lingnan.

And Song Que and Yang Guang have a mysterious tacit understanding, Song Valve does not support any anti-thief forces, and Yang Guang will not reach out to Song Valve.

―――――――――――――－

Now the situation in the world can be said to be very clear.

The four major gate valves, except for Li Valve, who had to hold on and compete with Yang Guang, the other two gate valves were neutral and fell to Yang Guang.

As for the following five surnamed Qiwang and other noble families, they are all typical wall-riding factions, they bet on both sides, and at most they secretly support other rebel forces.

It's almost impossible to get them to jump out and make it clear which side to support.

Then there are the forces of the rivers and lakes and several major resistance forces under the control of foreign forces.

In the meditation monastery, Buddhist leaders such as Shi Fei Xuan, Fan Qinghui, and Likong gathered together to discuss important matters.

In the meditation room, the atmosphere is heavy.

"What should we do now?"

"The disappearance of the four holy monks may be more auspicious than lucky, and we miscalculated Yang Guang's strength. ”

"There must be a great grandmaster level around Yang Guang, but I don't know who it is. ”

"Will this election continue?"

Countless questions are entangled in the hearts of many people, and it is difficult to make the right decision.

In particular, the loss of the four holy monks and two hundred elite monks and soldiers greatly damaged the vitality of Buddhism.

Buddhism also had to come up with hidden backgrounds, and four more well-known grandmasters in the later stage stood up and supported the façade of Buddhism.

The Central Plains Buddhism even had to sacrifice the interests of the Central Plains and invited the Bahai Living Buddha of Tantra, a strong man of the true great master level.

Tibetan Buddhism has always been different from Buddhism in the Central Plains, with completely different sect concepts and habits, and Esoteric Buddhism is more chaotic and primitive.

It has always been rejected by the Central Plains etiquette.

Under such circumstances, the Central Plains Buddhism did not hesitate to invite the Tantric Living Buddha to come out, which further exposed the countryless and non-ethnic face of the Buddhism.

aroused the hostility and dissatisfaction of the Central Plains Daomen and the hundred schools of thought.

Cihang Jingzhai has no choice, the election of the emperor of Luoyang is like an arrow on the string, and he has to send it. However, Yang Guang appeared in Luoyang, rectifying the situation in Luoyang step by step, deepening his control over Luoyang and suppressing and co-opting the forces of all parties.

As a hardcore leader of the anti-Sui forces, Buddhism. I really had to let it go.

――――――――――――

"First of all, the election of the emperor cannot be canceled or interrupted, otherwise we will become the public enemy of the world. Fan Qinghui's political mind is still there, and she clearly understands that if the election of the emperor is canceled, it will not only be a matter of flesh and blood, but also reduce her own influence, and at the same time offend all the anti-Sui forces under a set.

Lao Tzu worked hard to run, but was released by your Buddhism. This is even more hateful than the inner determination, and it is too shameless.

Moreover, this also exposes the weakness of Buddhism, and once this point is revealed, Buddhism will completely lose its current transcendent status.

The world's heroes will also turn their attention to the wealth of Buddhism.

In order to dominate the world, money and food are the two indispensable determinants, and the wealth of Buddhism is seen by all parties, although it is not as dazzling as Yang Pan, the richest businessman in the world.

But people Yang Pan didn't eat alone to make money, it was to bring everyone to make a fortune together. But the wealth of Buddhism is really exclusive to Buddhism, and it is not shared with everyone at all.

Eating alone is the most jealous, your Buddhism used to be influential, strong, everyone can only swallow saliva secretly, but if your Buddhism is weak, it is simply a fragrant bun in front of the world.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one wants to talk about fasting.

Who doesn't know that Buddhism has huge wealth, and just getting the copper and gold and platinum on the Buddha statue is enough to eat for a year or two, not to mention a large amount of land and population.

There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain.

The wealth of Buddhism can be imagined.

After dividing up the Buddhism Gate, the whole world can eat a full meal, and you don't have to worry about financial problems for a few years.

For this reason, Buddhism cannot admit it.

If you don't finish it, you have to finish it with gritted teeth.

All forces in the world are waiting to see how Cihang Jingzhai will step down.

Everyone craned their necks and prepared to watch the show.

Like Cihang Jingzhai, there is also Li Valve.

Li Valve is definitely the most depressed anti-Sui force.

Li Yuan is cunning and cunning, and he has endured it for more than three generations.

But the problem is that his son is too cheating and gave Yang Guang the evidence of his rebellion, and then was forced to rebel by Yuwen Valve.

In the name of the Qing monarch's side, he raised troops, but occupied Chang'an. And has been cleaning up Guanzhong and monopolizing the Guanzhong area.

Okay, now that Yang Guang has cut off the Yuwen valve, and Li Valve's excuse is gone, what should they do?
