Chapter 446: Who is not a caged bird
At the end of July of the twenty-fourth year of Chengping, when the war between the two Xiangs on the border of the south of the Yangtze River was in full swing, the people of the Sword Sect were very busy, the ice dust stared at the dust leaves, and they did not die, Zhang Xueyao sat in Jiangdu, presided over the overall situation, Qin Mumian went to Yanzhou, and began to arrange and operate several states in the north, and Xu Beiyou, who was the suzerain, was stranded in the ancestral court of Buddhism, as if he had really become an ascetic monk who had escaped from the world, and studied the Diamond Sutra written by the Buddha himself every day.
At the same time, Buddhism, which has always seemed to be an outsider, finally made a move, but this action was not aimed at the Sword Sect or the imperial court, nor was it aimed at the Daomen who had always overpowered the Buddhism, but directly aimed at the Northeast Mu Clan, who had been dependent on Buddhism for nearly a hundred years.
Of course, this matter was carried out in absolute secrecy, and there were only a few people in the know, including the abbot of the Buddhist sect, Qiuyue, the two heads, and the eight heavenly emperors, Shakti, the Great Brahma, and the Asura asuras.
It is said that there are three major private institutions in the world, which make people frightened, namely the secret guard mansion of the imperial court, the demon suppression hall of the Daomen, and the eight tribes of the Buddhist gate. As for the Sword Sect's Sword Qi Void Hall, after it was destroyed by Xiao Shen's hands, it was difficult to compare with these three.
In today's situation, after the Battle of the South of the Yangtze River, the elite masters of the Demon Suppression Hall were completely damaged, and the first master Bingchen was transferred to the Sword Sect, leaving only the Lord of the Demon Suppression Palace, Chenye, and the second great deacon, Emperor Xudu, which can be said to exist in name only. The Imperial Court's Secret Guard Mansion is not much better, the original three major officials, Duanmu Ruisheng, was beheaded by Xu Beiyou under the sword because of his involvement in rebellion, Fu Zhongtian was defeated and fled, leaving only one Wei Wuji, and he was also transferred to the forbidden army.
Only the eight tribes of Buddhism, although the Dragon King was imprisoned, the overall combat power remained intact.
According to Buddhism, there must be both the Bodhisattva who lowers his eyebrows and compassion to spread the Dharma, and the Vajra Protector who is angry and fearful.
At this time, this kind of thing is naturally taken care of by the Eight Ministries.
The so-called Eight Divisions are referred to by the eight heavenly dragons in the Buddhist scriptures, and the two divisions of heaven and dragon are respected, and now the dragon king, who is both the lord of the dragon and the lord of the eight divisions, is not there, so the lord of the heavenly department is replaced by the emperor Shakti, who gives orders on his behalf.
In fact, it has always been like this, by the Emperor Shakti of the Heavenly Department as the lord of the Eight Divisions, in charge of the overall situation, by the Great Brahma as the Lord of the Heavenly Division, each performing its own duties, but the dragon king of this generation is too dazzling, which forcibly overpowered the Emperor Shakti and became the Lord of the Eight Divisions.
In addition, in other aspects, Qiu Yue or the two first seats came forward, for example, to negotiate with the Great Qi Imperial Court, it was Qiu Yue who came forward in person, as for Cha Qing's side, it was the first seat of the Great Sun Courtyard to come forward, and the Hou Jian side, it was the first Luohan Hall to go to Daliang City in person and meet with the founder of the Later Empire, Wanyan Beiyue. The action of the Buddha Gate is not slow or slow, it is like weaving a big net, and then slowly shrinking, so that the people in the net are like birds in a cage, unable to escape or break free.
When there is no objection from all parties, the big net of Buddhism is weaved, and the next thing is to close the net.
As the so-called wind rises at the end of Qingping, although the movement of Buddhism has been very hidden, but still reveals some clues, many people with a keen sense of smell have left early, for fear of being affected by the pond fish.
For these "little insects", Buddhism doesn't care, whether they fly out of the net, it is irrelevant, let alone the overall situation, only the bird in the net is the key.
As long as this bird is caught, the overall situation of the three northeastern states has been decided.
......
Because Xu Beiyou stayed in the ancestral court of Buddhism, Xiao Zhinan could not return to the imperial capital for a while, so the shadow from Tiance Mansion ran back and forth between the ancestral court of Buddhism and the imperial capital, responsible for delivering news.
At this time, Xiao Zhinan was sitting in a side hall, carefully reading the letterhead in his hand by the candlelight in the hall, and behind him was a three-faced statue of Venerable.
After a long time, she withdrew her gaze from the letterhead, looked at the shadow in front of her and asked, "Have you found out what the palace wants you to investigate?"
The woman with a delicate figure but a face that couldn't see clearly hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, my subordinates have traveled to many places in the past few days, and with the assistance of the Buddhist Asuras, many people have been sent to investigate, and this matter has been found out. β
Xiao Zhinan asked, "What eyebrows?"
The shadow replied: "After Chenye and his party went down the mountain, they boarded the boat and left through the arrangement of the Liao Wangfu, but the only people who accompanied them were Li Qingyu, Shangguan Yun and Qingye, but the second deacon of the Demon Suppression Palace, Emperor Xudu, did not board the ship. β
Xiao Zhinan asked, "Where did Emperor Xudu go?"
The shadow hesitated a little and replied, "Although the subordinates have not found his exact traces, according to the speculation of the subordinates, he should have gone to the palace of the King of Liao." β
"Liao Wangfu?" Xiao Zhinan, who was sitting on the futon, was slightly shocked.
The shadow bowed his head and said, "Exactly." After Mu Tangzhi was separated from Buddhism, he seemed to be somewhat implicated with Taoism. β
"Okay!" Xiao Zhinan patted his palms lightly, "The abbot master of the Buddha Gate wants to borrow the sword of the Sword Sect to cut the Daomen, so that he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but how can there be such a good thing in the world, this time, it is the people of the Daomen who take the initiative to send it to the door, but the Buddha Gate will not do it if he does not make a move, only two people have blood on their hands, and that is all the way." β
The shadow didn't speak, wisely remaining silent.
Xiao Zhinan continued: "As for whether the King of Liao took the initiative to collude with the Daomen, or the Daomen to hook up with Mu Tangzhi, it remains to be considered, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and then you go to see Zhao Wouji, pass on the will of the palace, and tell him that the three states in the northeast are ready to counterattack, and the three states in the northeast must be held in our own hands to be at ease, as long as he can successfully take the three states in the northeast, the position of a king with a different surname will be indispensable to him afterwards." β
The shadow solemnly promised.
Xiao Zhinan turned the letterhead in his hand into flying ashes and scattered, patted the residual ashes on his hand, and said: "You go, but be careful, although the three states in the northeast are the territory of Buddhism, but the situation is uncertain at this time, once you leave the ancestral court of Buddhism, it is difficult to say." β
The shadow saluted respectfully and said, "My subordinates understand. β
After speaking, the whole person exploded into a cloud of shadows and dissipated without a trace.
Xiao Zhinan got up from the futon and wanted to walk out, but suddenly stopped, subconsciously turned around to look at the statue of Venerable behind him, and whispered to himself: "Mu Tangzhi, what do you want to do?"
She was silent for a moment, then exhaled and said, "The birds in the cage, the trapped beasts are still fighting." β
Xiao Zhinan suddenly remembered something, and laughed at himself, "Who is not in the cage?"
