Yang Kang left Xiping Mansion and went to Zhongxing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom.

His Majesty did not want to get too involved in the internal affairs of the Ming Sect, and this purge was defined as a partisan strife within the Ming Sect, which had nothing to do with outside forces, and the Ming Sect was a relatively closed and xenophobic religious organization, and if the people in the Ming Sect found that other forces were interfering, I am afraid it would have the opposite effect.

His only request is not to hurt Qu Feiyan, Qu Feiyan is the heir of Peach Blossom Island, presumably the people in the Ming Sect don't want to cause this trouble, as long as Huang Rong takes Qu Feiyan back to Peach Blossom Island afterwards, Yang Kang believes that Lou Shidao can properly handle this matter.

Relying on Murong Yan's relationship, he entered Zhongxing Mansion smoothly, and joined Li Mochou, who had already come here, the elder sister of the Tomb Sect still had a grudge against His Majesty the Emperor, and her eyes were quite unkind when she looked at Yang Kang, especially Yang Kang was wearing Lu Zhanyuan's mask at the moment.

"What about Lu Zhanyuan?" Li Mochou asked coldly.

"I'm being tortured in prison. His Majesty the Emperor replied happily, "As a spy, not only did he fail to fulfill his duty, but also made a mess of things, should he be punished? ”

"You ......" Li Mochou pointed at Yang Kang with an indignant expression.

Seeing that the two sides were about to get into trouble as soon as they met, Murong Yan hurriedly stopped the two and asked about Li Mochou's progress these days, and the senior sister of the Tomb Sect rushed all the way to the Western Xia Kingdom according to Murong Yan's explanation, contacted people who were loyal to Li Chengzhen, and learned about the latest situation of her brother.

Since the compromise with the Mongols, Li Chengzhen has become the puppet emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, as well as a group of ministers of the former Western Xia Kingdom, who maintain the appearance of an imperial dynasty on the surface, but in fact these people are just messing around, and all the decrees of the Western Xia Kingdom are from the hands of the Mongols. With the strengthening of Mongol rule over the Tangut, there were already plans to abolish the Tangut royal family and incorporate the Tangut kingdom into the territory of the Mongol state.

Li Chengzhen, the emperor of Western Xia, has lived a life of dogs and horses for the past three years, which is to confuse the Mongols, who do not want to see a puppet emperor who works hard and strives for self-improvement. At the same time, he is also indulging himself, in that depressing environment, if he can't vent, I'm afraid he will die of anxiety and panic like his predecessor.

That's how habits are slowly formed.

In the past three years, Li Chengzhen has changed from an aspiring prince who is bent on restoring the country to a lustful and brutal Western Xia emperor, he is indeed confusing the Mongols at first, and will secretly make some small moves in an attempt to contact the ministers who hold military power in various places, but the repeated failures have made him fall into despair, and he began to give up on himself. Be content with pleasure until you see Li Mochou and hear the news that Li Mochou brought.

Just as when he met His Royal Highness Wan Yan Kang for the first time in Chang'an City, that time Li Chengzhen felt that God gave him a chance, and this time it was still that person, the Western Xia Emperor thought that this was the real opportunity, he thought that he was not relying on Wan Yan Kang's power to restore the country, but to directly replace him and become the emperor of the Song State.

Now that Wan Yankang can usurp the throne successfully. Then he can too.

Of course, he didn't tell his sister about this thought, and he still needed to escape from this cage with the help of Wan Yankang's power. Get free, and then as long as he gets rid of Yan Kang, he will return to the Central Plains with a mask, control the power of the Song State and the Jin State, and then return to recover the Western Xia, he will achieve great things.

Yang Kang listened to Li Mochou's introduction. In his heart, he didn't really want to rescue Li Chengzhen, but wanted to kill Li Chengzhen, Li Chengzhen already knew his secret, and if he sued the Mongols, the consequences would be unimaginable. Then it is necessary to rescue Li Chengzhen from the Western Xia Palace first, and then get rid of all those who know the inside story.

It is not difficult to rescue Li Chengzhen from the palace, it is rare to escape from Zhongxing Mansion, the last time was because of Yang Tiexin's relationship to escape by luck, as an escape expert, Yang Kang is unwilling to pin his hopes on this kind of accidental event, so he must make a complete escape plan, he doesn't want to be chased and killed by the Mongolian iron cavalry again, that taste is not pleasant.

Murong Yan went to contact his old subordinates, hoping to get support, and Yang Kang went to a temple in Zhongxing Mansion, that is, the temple of the Yuanjiao, since the Tang Dynasty Huichang five years Tang Wuzong Li Yan destroyed the Buddha, the Yuanjiao in the Central Plains has gradually declined, but flourished in the Western Regions.

Manichaeism and Yuanjiao are similar in beliefs and rituals, both advocate light and fire, believers are not clear, collectively known as Zoroastrianism, comparatively speaking, Yuanjiao has a strong influence in the Western Regions, Lou Shidao took advantage of this to let Mingjiao followers infiltrate Yuanjiao, and gradually master the Yuanjiao shrines in various places, preparing for his great strategy in the Western Regions.

Yang Kang came to the ancestral hall and contacted the person in charge of the Mingjiao here, who was a man in the ancestral hall, these people were the objects of Lou Shidao's key training, once the internal purge of the Mingjiao was completed, and after unifying the thoughts, they would embark on the road of expansion, and these Mingjiao believers would be the internal response at that time.

What the emperor wanted to know was whether he could hide in the ancestral hall after rescuing Li Chengzhen, the person in charge looked at the token in his hand and nodded solemnly, this token shows that the person in front of him is the most trusted person of Lou Zuo's envoy, so even if he sacrifices himself, he must protect the safety of this person.

The followers of Mingjiao really have the spirit of sacrifice!

This spirit is commendable, but it is also a little terrifying, the power of religion must not be underestimated, Yang Kang reminded himself in his heart, the agreement was reached, the person in charge sent Yang Kang out of the ancestral hall, just as His Majesty the emperor walked out of the ancestral hall, a carriage stopped in front of the ancestral hall, and two women got down from the carriage, one of whom was obviously a maid.

At present, the woman saw that Ah Kui of the Jacket Temple was sending off guests, so she bowed slightly, and then walked into the Jacket Shrine with the maid, her eyes swept over Yang Kang's face, and she did not stop, but Yang Kang was stunned, because this woman was none other than the princess Hua Zheng of Mongolia.

"This is ......," Yang Kang wondered.

"A devout believer. The person in charge responded.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't say anything more, he heard from the tone of this Ah Lu that this person didn't know the true identity of Hua Zheng, so forget it, if the people in the Ming Sect knew about it, they would definitely use Hua Zheng's identity to make a fuss, but Zhongxing Mansion would soon become a place of war, and I hope Hua Zheng can leave soon.

The Mongolian princess Hua Zheng walked into the ancestral hall and knelt in front of the statue of the god of light and prayed sincerely.

In order to avoid the increasingly fierce conflict between the two factions of Ogedai and Tulei in Mongolia, she left the city of Qudiao Alan and came to Zhongxing Mansion in the Western Xia Kingdom, living an unknown and secluded life, not knowing that she had just met the man who had influenced her life.
