Chapter 1494 Infiltrating into Chang'an, the change of Xuanwu

Song Yuzhi only wanted to keep the Song Clan from being dragged into the quagmire of war by the White Lotus Sect, but he never thought of harming his father.

At this time, when I got such news, I suddenly collapsed.

She went to Cihang Jingzhai, but was told that it was Liu Xu who murdered Song Que.

But as a participant in this matter, Song Yuzhi knew how strong the Buddhist forces besieging Liu Xu were. How could he be able to kill his father under such circumstances?

Later, after Song Shidao took over the Song Clan, he issued an announcement to the world, pointing the killing of his father and enemies at the Li Clan and Buddhism. Song Yuzhi knew that he was being used by others.

But at this time, how could she have the face to see her elder brother Song Shidao?As for seeking revenge against Buddhism and the Li family, she is a woman and has no one to rely on, so she is simply dreaming.

She had nothing to love in her life, so she wanted to die to pay for her sins.

But after all, the Buddhist sect still wanted face, and couldn't do the thing of crossing the bridge and drawing boards, so they controlled her to prevent her from committing suicide, and handed Song Yuzhi to her sister Song Yuhua to take care of her after Xie Wenlong went north and surrendered.

At this time, Song Yuhua hugged her sister tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks, and said sadly: "Yuzhi, I don't blame you, I really don't blame you, don't be so stupid... sister, please..."

Liu Xu turned into Qin Chuan, and without anyone noticing, he had arrived at a small town not far from Chang'an.

At this time, he can be said to have completely changed his appearance. Under the influence of the demon seed, his originally thin body became majestic and mighty.

And his face looks like he is in his mid-twenties, not too handsome, but his face has deep lines, his eyes are like a bottomless deep pool, and he has a strange masculine charm that cannot be described.

It can be said that there is absolutely nothing about him now that reminds people of Liu Xu.

There is less than a day's journey to reach Chang'an, Liu Xu sorted out the information about Chang'an in his mind again.

Now that Li Jiancheng has been replaced by Jesus, it has nothing to do with Liu Xu.

Chang'an was the base of the Li Clan. Except for Li Shimin who led troops to attack Luoyang, the lords Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuanji all stayed in Chang'an.

The eldest son, Li Jiancheng, is now the prince, occupying the title of righteousness.

Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng formed a party to suppress Li Shimin's forces supported by Buddhism.

In Chang'an City, the Changlin Army of the princeling party and Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion competed with each other, and often had very unpleasant troubles.

As the lord, Li Yuan seems to be indifferent to this situation, but from the fact that he still supports Li Jiancheng's prince status, we can get a glimpse of the tendency of this Li lord to dominate.

I'm afraid, as far as Li Yuan is concerned, he doesn't have much affection for Buddhism now.

He appointed his eldest son to succeed him, but Buddhism supported his second son. This was a slap in the face. As an emperor, how could others dictate the issue of heirs?

It's just that Buddhism is powerful, and the Li Clan has always relied on Buddhism a lot, so Li Yuan is now pretending to be a snake, and seems to be neutral.

Moreover, in this world, the power of religion is much stronger than in real history, because the religious power has a large number of masters, especially the top masters.

Master-level masters like Fan Qinghui and Ning Daoqi can simply suppress the luck of a sect, and secular emperors have to pay attention to it.

All decisions should be made with deliberation.

But I'm afraid that when the world is set for the first time, when Li Yuan suppresses the Buddhist sect riding on his head, it is impossible for Li Shimin to grab the position of Li Jiancheng's heir.

In the real history, in the eighth year of Wude (AD 625), that is, one year before the change of Xuanwumen, Li Yuan promulgated the "First Aged and Later Released Edict", which established the status of Taoism and officially announced the order of the three religions as Tao, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Buddhism are the last of the three religions, and the status of Buddhism has begun to be officially suppressed.

As a result, a year later was the Xuanwumen Change that shocked the world.

Of course, Li Yuan never imagined that his son and Buddhist sect would kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji directly, and force him to abdicate.

Looking at the historical records on the day of the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Yuan, who didn't know it at the time, was waiting for his three sons in the palace. Suddenly, there was a commotion, and then Yuchi Gong, who was armed with a weapon and covered in blood, broke in with soldiers and told Li Yuan that Li Jiancheng And Li Yuanji's rebellion has been punished by the king of Qin.

Li Yuan was shocked at first, but then accepted all this calmly, and not long after, he abdicated the throne to Li Shimin.

Can you not accept it?What does it mean for someone to break into his emperor's residence with a weapon in his hand?It means that the entire imperial palace has been controlled by others. If the emperor resists a little, there will be a scene of killing his father and seizing the throne immediately.

Then the external propaganda will become that the prince Li Jiancheng seeks to codify the dynasty and kills his father, while Li Shimin avenges his father, punishes the conspirators Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and takes over the emperor's position under the plea of ​​all officials.

Thinking of this, Liu Xu suddenly felt chills. Bo Lang's attack, which was unexpectedly put to death by everyone like the Xuanwumen Incident, was somewhat different from the way Hu Jiao acted when he besieged himself and Song Que. similarities.

Could it be that you, Fan Qinghui, were behind the fight to turn Li Shimin into power?

Think about it again, in this world of Tang Dynasty, why does Buddhism have to support Li Shimin?It was inevitable for Buddhism to choose the Li Clan. Originally, Li Yuan's bases were relatively close to Taiyuan and Chang'an, while Cihang Jingzhai's location was in the outskirts of Chang'an Mountain Dita Peak. The geographical location is close, and the communication between the two is naturally convenient.

When the Li Clan rises to occupy Chang'an, can Cihang Jingzhai go far away and choose other people instead of the Li Clan at his feet?What's more, the quality of the Li family itself is also the best among the princes.

In terms of geographical location alone, the alliance between the Li Clan and Cihang Jingzhai was already doomed.

Later, the imperial concubine Xuan Luoyang used the Chuanguo Yuxi to choose the Allah, etc., was just a play, and of course it is not ruled out that this play was specially made to praise Li Shimin.

As for Fan Qinghui's choice of Li Shimin instead of Prince Li Jiancheng, it's very simple. Regardless of whether your Buddhist school supports Li Jiancheng, as the orthodox heir, Prince Li Jiancheng will inevitably take over the entire new dynasty. Buddhism is just icing on the cake.

But Li Shimin is different. If Buddhism can really support him, it will be a timely help for Li Shimin, and the impact it will have is not the same.

Naturally, Li Shimin's superior talent over Li Jiancheng is also an important consideration for Buddhism to make this choice.

Chapter 1495

Of course, as an emperor through the ages, Li Shimin will not always be at the mercy of others. After the real regime was consolidated, he also supported Taoism and suppressed Buddhism. Only then began to decline.

But in any case, Buddhism chose Li Shimin now, but it got the reward it deserved later and continued to prosper for a long time.

However, the choice of Buddhism runs counter to Li Yuan.

Although he couldn't turn his back on him, according to the information he received recently, Li Yuan was also expressing his dissatisfaction.

First of all, Daming Zunjiao, who participated in the sneak attack on Zhu Yuyan and the Shanmei fairy daughters, has been allowed to preach in the area controlled by the Li Clan in the north. Although it is impossible to shake the status of Buddhism, it is definitely a must for these bereaved dogs to gain a firm foothold in the north. Get the strong support of the Li family.

According to information, the masters of Daming Zunjiao and Zhao Deyan have become supporters of the princelings, and the Changlin Army, which has received strong reinforcements, has recently gained momentum and overwhelmed the Tiance Mansion.

Secondly, near Chang'an City, ten new Taoist temples have been added in recent years.

Zhongnan Mountain was originally a holy place for Buddhism. There are estimated to be nearly a hundred temples, large and small, led by Cihang Jingzhai, while there are less than ten Taoist temples.

But now, the power of Taoism has risen in the base of the Li Clan.

At present, Taoism is the sect second only to Buddhism, and Ning Daoqi is not the only one.

Although it was not mentioned in the original work of the Tang Dynasty, the Taoist sect was very prominent in the history of the early Tang Dynasty, and Taoists such as Qihui and Wang Yuanzhi also left their names in history.

It is certain that in this Great Tang world, there will never be fewer Taoist masters, but they are just hidden.

Their high-end combat power headed by Ning Daoqi may not be as good as the Buddhist Fan Qinghui, the Four Great Sages, Liao Kong, Shi Feixuan and others, but it is estimated that the difference will not be too far.

It's just that Ning Daoqi has always been alone in the Daomen holding up the signboard, and the rest of the people have disappeared, which is worth pondering.

It can be seen that on the one hand, Li Yuan has to rely on Buddhism, but on the other hand, he is also looking for other forces to check and balance Buddhism.

Chang'an is currently at the center where all forces gather, which is very interesting.

Liu Xu was staying in an inn on the outskirts of Chang'an. At this time, he was eating alone in the private room on the first floor, sorting out various thoughts.

This trip to Chang'an has three goals.

The first one is to see the situation of the Li family with one's own eyes and collect all kinds of information.

The second is to look for opportunities to see if Kou Zhong, who was imprisoned by the Hu Sect, can be rescued.

The third is to find a way to drive a wedge between Buddhism and the Li clan, and stir up internal conflicts within the Li clan to intensify their struggle.

While thinking, suddenly, Liu Xuruo felt something, and looked up to the store door.

I saw the curtain of the store door was lifted by a white jade-like hand, and then, an impossibly handsome young man dressed as a scholar walked in.

Liu Xu's heart was shocked. Although this person was dressed as a man, he was the concubine Shi Xuan whom he had seen before!

Why is she here?

Immediately afterwards, Shi Feixuan followed behind, a petite young man in a black suit.

Dugufeng! ?

Liu Xu saw through this person's disguise at a glance, it turned out to be Dugufeng, the number one master of the younger generation of the Dugu Clan, why did she mix with Shi Feixuan when she was supposed to be in Luoyang?

Liu Xu's thoughts changed suddenly. Could it be that the Dugu Clan in Luoyang had been instigated by Hu Jiao to join the Li Clan?Then Luoyang is in danger!

Um, no, not right!Even if the Dugu clan wanted to betray, there was no need for Dugufeng to come to Chang'an in secret.

Because even if she is disguised, there will never be few people who can recognize her.

If the news of Dugufeng's appearance in Chang'an spreads, there is no guarantee that Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in Luoyang, will know. It will be of no benefit to them, will it?What is the inside story of this?

At this time, Concubine Shixuan and Dugufeng also found Liu Xu, and their eyes lit up.

I saw a young man about twenty-five or six years old eating alone with a peaceful expression. Although his face was not delicate, he had a strong figure and a vigorous attitude, exuding a strange masculine charm all over his body.

As for Shi Feixuan, her heart throbbed for a while, she just felt that there was a strange power hidden in this man, which was constantly attracting her, this feeling was really unprecedented.

After Shi Feixuan appeared, Liu Xu also felt that the demonic energy in his body was very strong. Obviously, he was drawn by Shi Feixuan's Taoist fetus, which made the demons active and made him even more evil. charm.

Liu Xu laughed loudly and said: "The two brothers are so handsome, it makes people feel heartbroken. I don't know if I will be lucky enough to invite you to sit at the same table and have a chat, talking about the past and the present, so as to relieve the loneliness of the journey?"

The two women were slightly taken aback, but Shi Feixuan smiled faintly, walked over, and said: "Brother, you are welcome, I don't know your honorable name?"

Dugufeng looked at Shi Feixuan a little puzzled, this cold and composed fairy also provokes men?But also followed the past.

As she got closer, Shi Feixuan felt that feeling became more obvious, thinking of the description in the classics handed down by the old man in her heart, she was somewhat sure.

Sitting opposite Liu Xu, she was determined to investigate this strange man who appeared suddenly.

Liu Xu laughed and said, "My name is Qin Chuan, but I'm just a man from the mountains. It's presumptuous of me to invite you this time."

At this time Dugu Feng also sat down, observed carefully, and then asked: "Brother Qin's internal energy is so high that he is probably among the best in the world, but why have I never heard of Xiongtai's name? "

Dugufeng has a straightforward personality, doesn't talk nonsense, and asks questions straightforwardly.

Concubine Shixuan was slightly taken aback when she heard that Liu Xu called herself Qin Chuan. When she was walking in the rivers and lakes, she used the pseudonym Qin Chuan.

Is it a coincidence to meet the real Qin Chuan now?

Liu Xu said: "I have been practicing one of the master's sect's skills, and I have never walked in the rivers and lakes. I barely practiced it until recently. And it happened that there were some changes in the master's sect, so I had to come out."

After a pause, he said again: "Just now Li Yuan didn't look carefully, and now I realize that the two are women. I'm really rude, and now I apologize to the two girls."

After all, he made a bow.
