Regarding Qiu Shiliang's high-profile visit, Chu He was not surprised.

This great eunuch, whose IQ is not very fully developed, thought that in this way, he would be able to completely tie Chu He to his chariot.

After all, he's had a hard time lately.

As everyone knows, when the relationship between him and Chu He is in the bright light, then as long as Li Yan is not a fool, he must know how to guard against the possibility of his alliance with Chu He.

Even if the so-called poison pill plan is true, it is now bankrupt.

Chu He didn't particularly care about Li Yan's vigilance caused by this.

His purpose is only to have a fulcrum to leverage power in order to achieve his own ends.

Whether or not he can gain Li Yan's trust is not important to Chu He.

On the top of the main hall, the Sanqing patriarch is high on the top, and the golden body of Buddhism is different, the statue of the Sanqing patriarch is just a simple stone carving, and there is no excessive decoration, which is extraordinarily light and simple.

And under the annotation of the statue of the Sanqing Patriarch, Qiu Shiliang was not in awe at all, and directly slapped the table and roared at Chu He: "Li Yan'er, you deceive people too much! Not only did you take away my military power, but you also openly embarrassed me in front of those little eunuchs, it's damned." ”

"Dao Chief, when exactly will your Divine Pill be refined? If it really can't be done, we might as well advance our plans and forge signs of refining into a Divine Pill. ”

Qiu Shiliang is really messed up.

In the Uighur war, all sides withdrew their troops, and Qiu Shiliang's military power was naturally weakened a little.

Originally, Qiu Shiliang didn't care, but with the transfer of generals and personnel changes, a large number of low-level officers were appointed, and the original pattern was quickly broken.

Qiu Shiliang, like many local jiedu envoys, was quickly seized by Li Yan for part of the military power that was originally held in his hands.

As long as the army defeated the Uighurs, and when it was time to turn back, this army, which was originally drawn from all sides, would become an army directly under Li Yan.

The emperor who has strong military power is no longer a soft persimmon who can be bullied and perfunctory before, and the slightest discomfort is faced by the roaring army.

Unless the world is against for a while, all the knots will be connected together to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

Otherwise, it can only be gradually eaten up by Li Yan and his army.

Qiu Shiliang's power stemmed partly from the military power in his hands, partly from the control of the inner court, and partly from the collusion with the external jiedu envoys.

Now that the three parties have lost two of their dependence, it is natural for the conscience of the enemy to be afraid.

"Chu Guogong calmed down first, and now even if he pretends to refine into a divine pill, I am afraid that he will not be able to hide it from the Son of Heaven, but he will tear his face with him in advance, which will be of no benefit to Chu Guogong. Chu He said comfortingly.

Then he said: "The top priority of the Duke of Chu should be to show weakness to the enemy and first express his submission to the Son of Heaven." Cooperate with some of his actions, continue to have imperial power, and act in his name. ”

Qiu Shiliang said viciously: "Daoist, aren't you deceiving me that I don't understand the affairs of the court? With the current status of this duke, if I am soft, the group of people who will gather under my lord's command will immediately disperse and defect to Yu Hongzhi's hands. lost their guards, once Bengong became a loner, he would be divided by Li Yan's five horses. ”

Chu Dao said: "Don't be in a hurry, and listen to the poor way." ”

"Today, I have the heart to collect the world's soldiers first, and then take the power of the world, and clear the obstacles with the surging momentum. And whether it is a soldier or a power, it needs to be supported by silver money, grain and grass. ”

"Since the beginning of Emperor Wu, the world's Buddhist temples have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, prevailing in the rivers and mountains, encroaching on a large amount of land and fertile land. If the Duke of Chu can lead the Shence army in his hand, he will take the lead in destroying the temple and recovering a large area of land for the Son of Heaven. Then the Son of Heaven will definitely be paralyzed, and at the same time, he will be able to find a way to continue to maintain the power in his hands from being reduced. ”

Chu He's plan is vicious.

is simply to let Qiu Shiliang be the first bird to fire the first shot against Buddhism.

Usually those who do this kind of thing end well.

Qiu Shiliang was attracted by Chu He's plan.

If the power in his hands can be maintained, then Qiu Shiliang will have an inexplicable sense of security, as for the offense of Buddhism... He clearly didn't care.

Compared with Chu He's vision, his vision is still too small, and he thinks that he can hold the power of Nuoda, so he can ignore Buddhism and regard it as a fish under a knife.

"Okay! That's a good plan! This is too cheap Li Yan'er!" Qiu Shiliang had already moved, but he continued to provoke, pretending to be dissatisfied.

Chu Daodao: "Of course not, although this land has been recovered, but the right to distribute it again, the Duke of Chu can hold it in his own hands." If you have a lot of land in your hands, you have a lot of interests. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and with interests, we can stabilize people's hearts and rights. ”

Qiu Shiliang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he kept nodding his head and said, "Not bad! That's right." Ben Gong understood!"

"Thank you for the reminder!"

Then Qiu Shiliang hesitated, and then said: "Dao Chief, another Taoist has entered the palace to see that Li Yan recently, and Li Yan Xiao'er left that Taoist person in the palace to talk all night, thinking that he attaches great importance to that person. The peer is an enemy, and even if the Taoist chief is unintentional, he is afraid that the other party will be interested. ”

After Chu He heard this, he was not surprised at all.

If Li Yan wants to use the Dao Gate to suppress the Buddha Gate, it is impossible not to find a few Dao people around him, and at the same time release goodwill to the Dao Gate.

Compared with him, who traveled to the wild road, those Taoists who were born in famous mountains and grandiosities and had red roots were more popular with Li Yan.

"Thank you Chu Guogong for reminding me, Poor Dao will naturally be careful, but I don't know where that Dao person came from?" Chu He asked.

Qiu Shiliang said: "Listening to the little one under his hand, it seems to be called 'Zhao Guizhen', but the origin is not clear." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chu He's eyeholes shrank.

I secretly said in my heart: "It's started!"

It has always seemed that the Taoist gate of Buddhism is forbearance and retreat, and the counterattack is coming.

What is the origin of this Zhao Guizhen, it has always been very mysterious, he once taught doctors in the two streets of Jingzong Chaochong, but he was not taken seriously, and then disappeared.

Now that Li Yan has succeeded to the throne, but he has returned, maybe he once had something to do with Li Yan.

After that, whether it was Liu Xuanjing or Deng Yuanqi, who Zhao Guizhen introduced to Li Yan, they were all from famous families, one was a Taoist priest in Hengshan, and the other was a Taoist priest in Luofu.

In other words, this Zhao Guizhen is really a former soldier sent by the Daomen. Chu He thought to himself.

was talking with Qiu Shiliang, when suddenly a soldier of the Shence Army was wearing a wide Taoist robe outside, and hurriedly walked in to report: "Tell the Guanzhu that a Taoist priest surnamed Zhao is coming to visit, saying that the Guanzhu will have a great disaster, and he needs to be invited in with the gift of Zhaijiao in order to resolve it for the Guanzhu." ”

"Sure enough, the kicker came. Chu He sighed.

Qiu Shiliang's eyes were raised, and his face was full of fierceness: "Dao Chief, do you need this father to help you send this Taoist priest?"
