Chapter 185 Li Luo's Dadu Plan

At dusk, Li Luo returned to the Goryeo Inn, and Cui Xiuning was waiting for him to come back.

"Look at this." Cui Xiuning handed over a stack of paper immediately.

It took Li Luo a long time to digest the information, and he couldn't help but look excited. This information was really an unexpected gain.

This is the confession of several lamas. Li Luo didn't know how the three lamas fell into Cui Xiuning's hands, but there must be enough reasons.

First of all, the most useful one is the palace scandal!

A concubine of Kublai Khan actually had an affair with a senior monk who studied "Great Joy". Not only that, the concubine also dragged several other noble women into the water and was doing a voluptuous life in a royal temple.

This is definitely a shocking scandal, but it is incredible that the "sweat of all the khans" and the "Eastern Emperor" Kublai Khan cuckolded.

However, it should be a sure thing. A lama was wearing the underwear of a noble lady in the palace. The spies broke through this point and finally interrogated the secret.

The lama who was secretly executed by Choi Soo-ning was just one of the matter involved in the royal temple. There were also several senior monks, all related to this matter. The highest-ranking one was Basiba's deputy, the deputy envoy of the Dayuan Xuanzhengyuan, who was a second-rank monk!

Because Basiba was seriously ill, he was bedridden and could not return to Dadu in his hometown of Tubo, so the deputy envoy temporarily took charge of Xuanzhengyuan.

However, unlike Basiba, who is solemn Buddhist Dharma, this second-rank monk official and deputy envoy was actually a great teacher of "Great Joy". He taught many Mongolian Hui nobles "human secret arts and joys" and was very accomplished in "this way". Of course, it also harmed many good women.

Why did he get along with Kublai Khan's concubines? Because Kublai Khan was over 60 years old and his vitality was declining. Although the palace concubine was favored, she was not pregnant for a long time, so she came up with a "scheming to borrow children" and took risks.

She didn't know where to hear that the monks had abundant kidney water and easily made women pregnant, so she went to the royal temple in the name of worshiping Buddha and took the initiative to mock the monks and do such shameful things.

The great emperor Kublai Khan was a Hu man, and he had less defense than the Han emperors. Now he believes in Tantric Buddhism. It is common for lamas to go to palaces or concubines to go to temples.

In addition, many lamas, especially monks who study "Great Joy", are extremely unpredictable and have no desires on the word "Seman" and it is not surprising that this happens.

Another major event related to this matter is that the imperial teacher Basiba was not sick, but was poisoned. The person who poisoned it turned out to be Yang Lianzhenjia, the disciple of Basiba!

Yang Lianzhenjia was also a second-rank monk and was the president of the Buddhist capital of Jiangnan. The most famous thing he did was to excavate the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty, take treasures and destroy corpses, and even make the skull of Song Lizong into wine vessels.

Impotence and damaging the palace and poisoning the imperial master. Once these two things are triggered, they will definitely be a major blow to Tantric Buddhism.

Tantric Buddhism is the mastermind who planned to crack down on Taoism this time. Taoism lost its position to confront Buddhism, and Tantric Buddhism is the one who benefits the most.

During the Temujin era, he believed in Taoism very much, especially Quanzhen Taoism. In the era of Ogedei and Mengge Khan, Buddhism surpassed Taoism.

With these two Tantric scandals, Li Luo was more confident in helping Taoism turn over. The key is: to cure the queen's disease.

Why help Taoism turn over?

Because the Yuan Dynasty had several independent power institutions: the Secretariat, the Privy Council, the Censorate, the Xuanzheng Yuan, the Jixian Yuan, and the Huihui Hadishi.

The "Jixian Academy" in charge of Taoism in the world is a second-rank yamen. It was originally very powerful, not only to manage Taoism, but also to search for talents, recommend officials, and in charge of schools.

The Zhenren of Jixian Academy (Zhi Yuanshi) not only participates in the major affairs of the court, but also becomes an imperial teacher and controls the political situation.

However, after the suppression of Mengge Khan and the failure of two debates, the power of Taoism had obviously declined, and the power of Jixian Academy was no longer as prominent as before.

This time, it is mainly to help Taoism turn over.

Zhang Sanfeng!

Zhang Sanfeng will definitely accept this transaction, even if he is not for himself, for Taoism. He will also accept it. He will promote Zhang Sanfeng to be the Taoist official of Jixian Academy and let him take advantage of the privilege of Jixian Academy to recommend talents to install some Luoning Society people in governments at all levels of the Yuan court.

In less than two years, with the financial support of Luoning Society, these people will be promoted and gradually gain the power of some key departments.

This is one of the purposes of the "Massive Plan" and it is a long-term plan.

The second purpose of the "Dadu Plan" is short-term. It is through the princess, who recommended Zhang Sanfeng to cure the queen in the name of Taoist offering elixirs, make friends with the prince, and seek an official position in Daluhuachi, Ninghai Prefecture!

The Han people could not renaiss Luhuachi (Secretary) in the Central Plains, but the Goryeo people could. This is also the reason why he temporarily pretended to be Goryeo.

During the Yuan Dynasty, many Koreans worked as Dalu Wachi in China. Although it is not easy for Koreans to be Dalu Wachi. If they become governors, then there is Dalu Wachi on them, and he still can't do anything. If they want to be, they will be the top leader: Dalu Wachi.

Moreover, Dalu Hachi, Ninghaizhou, was a fourth-rank official. He is now a fifth-rank official. Although he is a Korean official, he was promoted to the fourth-rank official position in the Yuan Dynasty, and his qualifications are enough.

So, why is it Ninghaizhou?

Because Ninghaizhou is the easternmost end of Weihai, Shandong in later generations, facing the sea from Jianghua Island in Goryeo. The sea route is only more than 200 miles, and the sailing boat arrives in one day. He was an official in Ninghaizhou in the Central Plains, and it was very convenient to go back to Jianghua Island Fort.

Second, Ninghaizhou is also the closest Central Plains prefecture to Kyushu Island in Japan, and it is convenient to travel to and from Japan at that time.

Third, Ninghaizhou is not too far from Jiangnanhai Road, and you can reach Songjiang (Shanghai) in three days.

Fourth, the most important short-term interest is that he can use his power to send all tens of thousands of refugees from the Shandong Peninsula to Haidong.

This Dalu Wachi in Ninghai Prefecture is the most suitable position for him at present.

After obtaining this official position, he can take care of both Jiang Hua and Ninghai, Ninghai's civil affairs power and Jiang Hua's military power.

There are princes and princesses in the palace, Goryeo has “uncle” Li Qian, Jixianyuan has Zhang Sanfeng, Xuanzhengyuan has Basiba... gradually weaving a three-country network that intertwined the Yuan Dynasty, Goryeo and Japan. Once an uprising is launched, it will be a thunder strike.

Whether it is long-term planning, short-term benefits, real benefits or connections, you must get it. By the way, you will crack down on Tantric Buddhism, help Taoism, and kill Yang Lianzhenjia, and avenge the Song Dynasty.

Once the "Dadu Plan" is successful, Li Luo will not only gain a lot of benefits, but also stir up the situation in the Metropolitan area, and will countless officials and nobles play with them.

Cui Xiuning executed three lamas to silence him. Did he destroy the witness? No.

Because such a thing does not require any evidence and cannot withstand investigation at all. As long as one arrests, one investigation and one trial, it will be guaranteed to be revealed.

"Mrs. One man takes the lead." Li Luo happily grabbed Cui Xiuning. "Originally, most people planned to have a success rate of only 60% at most, but now... at least 90%!"

Cui Xiuning said: "Zhang Sanfeng, I have sent someone to look for him, it is not difficult to find him. He should not let go of such a good opportunity. But... it is impossible to push him to a very high position."

Li Luo smiled and said, "That's because you don't understand the officialdom of the Yuan Dynasty. The ecology of the officialdom of the Yuan Dynasty is very extensive, far less detailed and standardized than Song and Ming and Qing Dynasties. What does it mean? It's just a scoundrel. As long as you are appreciated by noble people, you can become a great official immediately."

"Also, you underestimated the power and energy of monks and Taoists of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhang Sanfeng was originally anti-Yuan, but why did he call himself "the old man of the Yuan Dynasty Zhang Sanfeng" in the Ming Dynasty? Because he missed the power of Taoists during the Yuan Dynasty."

"As long as Zhang Sanfeng cured the queen's illness, not only will the Taoist church turn over, but he can do a lot of work, he can at least be a third-rank Taoist official. It is also possible to operate it. Don't forget that Zhang Sanfeng has been fame and fortune, and he has been a county magistrate.

Choi Soo-ning smiled and said, "It's really a cheap guy."

Li Luo shook his head: "A person like Zhang Sanfeng cannot like to be an official. But for the sake of this Taoist crisis, he must not refuse to accept it."

Cui Xiuning said: "Yang Lianzhenjia... He excavated the imperial tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty and plundered it in Jiangnan, and was so rich that he was rich."

Li Luo smiled and said, "Mrs. I'm going to go with me. Yang Lianzhenjia must die this time. But he has to find a way to get his money."

"There are two people who are very rich and bad. One is the great lama Yang Lianzhenjia.ww. The other is Pu Shougen, a Hui man known as the King of Quanzhou, who is even rich enough to rival a country. We also have to get his money."

Cui Xiuning asked: "How can Pu Shougeng break the law?"

Li Luo explained: "Three years ago, he killed 5,000 Song Dynasty royal families, more than 10,000 Song Dynasty officials and family members, and surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. Then he led the Yuan army south to destroy the Song Dynasty. The battle of Yashan and the Yuan army was his ship."

"This person is now named General Zhaoyong and the left prime minister of Fujian Province, but he is very proud. The entire Quanzhou is his world. Everyone is forced to convert to the Crescent Sect, and those who do not convert will be killed, killing tens of thousands of Han people."

Cui Xiuning could not have imagined that Pu Shougeng was so bad.

"When the matter in Dadu is over, I will arrange for people to go to Quanzhou. At that time, will I be going to attack Quanzhou by pretending to be pirates?"

Li Luo smiled: "Not only are they fake pirates, but they also have to join forces with pirates. Even Japanese pirates can also be brought in and join the gang."

Cui Xiuning frowned, "Catch the Japanese pirates into the gang?" She was not very satisfied.

Li Luo said: "Lao Pu is very powerful and has no less force. Quanzhou is a big city again. With fewer people, it can't be defeated at all. So, the more pirates, the better. Then..."

Cui Xiuning shook her head: "Then you will get rid of the bad guys, right?"

Li Luo smiled, "Madam, you are just too smart."

The two discussed for another half an hour and planned every step of the "Mainland Plan" to meticulously understand the time nodes, lines and alternatives.

At around seven o'clock, Han Shao suddenly brought the sword guard in and said, "Social master, King Goryeo just passed the order, all the envoys will go to his place to discuss matters."

Li Luo took off his grandson uniform, put on his Korean official uniform, and came to the luxurious courtyard where King Goryeo stayed.
