The capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, belongs to the Li clan. Since claiming to be king, the Li family has become more and more powerful in the world. Two of the princes, the eldest, Li Jiancheng, and the second, Li Shimin, have made outstanding achievements and are known as the twins of the Li family, the sons of Qilin.
If you have one son, you can conquer the world, but the Li family has two. Isn't this just destiny? It is even said that people from the Buddhist sect have come to contact them repeatedly, as if they want to confirm the true destiny of the emperor. In addition, the Li family's legitimate daughter and the
The great master of the Song family has never been against each other, and with such support, who can say that the Li family is inferior?
Although the friendship between the Song family and the Li family has become somewhat weak over the years, the great master of the Song Dynasty killed the four bandits in the north in anger a few days ago. For whom, but for the Li family?
What makes people confused is how the news of rescuing people came out, since the four major bandits have already cooled down. Anyway, Li has always denied it.
Is there anything else strange? In the middle hall, Li Yuan sat at the head, stroking his beautiful beard and nodding from time to time.
This is a family meeting, and Li Shimin, who is sitting first on the left hand side, is reporting respectfully. He is respectful. One is that the greatest virtue in the world is filial piety, and the other is of course obliged to be respectful.
Everyone knows that Li Yuan was loyal to the Sui Dynasty and respected his benevolence and righteousness. It was Li Shimin who persuaded the Li clan to rebel, and even forced them to use a knife in the end. In addition, Yang Guang was killed by Yu Wenhuaji, so Li Yuan had no choice but to rise up and found the Tang Dynasty.
, named Tang Wang.
Originally, he was still complacent, thinking that his hard work and dedication for the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the fact that he had thousands of truly elite black-armored knights in his hands, the future of the Tang Dynasty was not his?
As a result, once the Tang Dynasty was established, he discovered that many unknown strong men suddenly appeared in the Li family, all of whom were not weak in martial arts, but were unpredictable and unable to figure out the way.
The key is that under the name of the Tang Dynasty, bandits from far and near are constantly coming to surrender. These bandits are not weak, they are well-trained, and they also bring their own food, grass and weapons.
Outrageous! From then on, Li Shimin learned from his father the secret of being a truly strong person in life: Gou!
"Report to my father, this time Xiuning returned from his mission to Luokou successfully. That Kou Zhong showed favor to me, Li, and as soon as he accepted it, he wanted to marry not my eldest brother's niece, but Xiuning, and even promised to marry her.
Liang Du is here to come as a betrothal gift!" Li Yuan fell into deep thought.
Liangdu is the place where Yu Wenji made his fortune. It is located at the key point between the north and the south. If Liangdu is captured, the Li family will face each other from the north to the south. It can be said that they can advance, attack, retreat and defend. The great cause has been accomplished.
"Xiu Ning has just broken off her engagement with the Chai family. Although it has not been announced to the world, isn't it not good to immediately marry Kou Zhong?" Li Yuan hesitated.
To be honest, he still wanted to show off. Li Shimin felt happy and immediately prepared to persuade him. Although his father was wily and calculating, he was also indecisive and often listened to the last person's words.
And the second sister has always been close to him. If he can win over Kou Zhong, who is an extremely powerful fighter, it will be even more powerful for him.
"Father!" Li Jiancheng suddenly stood up and interrupted Li Shimin's speech.
"Jian Jiancheng, what's wrong, what do you think?" Li Yuan asked curiously. Aristocratic families have always established long-term heirs, just to prevent the superiors from being ineffective. The younger generations put most of their thoughts on internal friction.
Therefore, the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty are now almost entirely managed by Li Jiancheng. Even when Li Shimin was fighting abroad, he was also responsible for mobilizing grain and grass. This shows Li Yuan's trust and arrangements for his eldest son.
Li Jiancheng stood up, looked around, and said slowly: "As far as I know, the third sister may have been tired from the journey when she came back, and forgot to tell the second brother two important things. First: Those who were captured by Kou Zhong and joined the Young Marshal's Army
Of the soldiers, only a few were loyal to my Li family and were redeemed by the third sister. Basically, all of them have harmonious families and live a happy life. And most of the soldiers have sincerely joined the Young Marshal's army. Even the three
The younger sister offered double the price, and none of them were willing to return to the Li family. Many of the sergeants even followed the third younger sister back and used the second younger brother's token to bring their own families to Luokou. In addition, there are rumors that
, if the third sister marries the young marshal, the young marshal is willing to raise his army to surrender. As for whether he will surrender to his father or the second brother, he does not know. Second: As for the legitimate daughter of the Song family and the sacred beast of the Song family, according to
Reliable news, the news that Kou Zhong has left the Young Marshal's Army and that Kou Zhong has the support of the Song family is pure nonsense. This is what my father and son have to say." After speaking, Li Jiancheng returned to his seat directly and sat upright, not
Say one more thing.
We are all smart people, so we stop when we click. Li Yuan pondered for a moment, looked at Li Xiuning with a blank expression.
"Xiuning, are everything your elder brother said true?" Li Xiuning hesitated for a while, glanced at his second brother who was looking blank, and nodded: "It's true." Li Yuanxian glanced at his two sons, and then fell silent.
If there was no threat from the Song family, to be honest, with the current strength of the young commander, it would be more than enough to be the son-in-law of the Li family.
But just now Li Jiancheng talked about an issue. Kou Zhong was born in a poor family. Not only did he become the leader of a party at a young age, the key was the morale of the army and the people.
If he really brought tens of thousands of troops to surrender, what kind of identity should Li give him? As Xiuning's husband, there is a high probability that he will support the second son and win the world in the future. It is very likely that the strength of the two parties will be imbalanced.
What are the consequences of an imbalance in strength? Don’t the people of the world want to sit on the supreme position in the world? Regardless of how the eldest son will be dealt with, maybe he, an old guy, will be forced to step down.
He is only in his fifties, and under normal circumstances has twenty years left to live. How could he just watch his rights leave him?
If all these are nothing, after all, the meat is still rotten in the pot, it is the Li family who will win the world after all. But then Kou Zhong can reach his current status from a beggar with nothing, and he can easily win the heart of the Li family sergeant. With this
His ability, spirit, and luck really frightened him.
As a wealthy family, he understood that going from nothing to becoming powerful was far more difficult than it was for the Li family to establish the Tang Dynasty.
Can the Li family grasp such talents? Will they be like Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, who directly took away the foundation of the Tang Dynasty in the future?
Even if it's Li Xiuning, doesn't she want to be the queen of the world? As a king, it is absolutely impossible to completely trust anyone.
No one will betray, it just depends on whether the price of betrayal is high enough. Moreover, the Li family already has two Qilin children, so they no longer need such awesome people!
"Xiuning, after all, you have an engagement with the Chai family, and you have announced it to the world. And my family, the Li family, has always been committed to keeping its promises, loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety. Therefore, you and Gao Zhong's marriage should be discussed later." Li Yuan said solemnly.
Some things must be nipped in the bud, even if it is only extremely possible. Li Xiuning's pretty face turned pale.
Li Shimin was a little anxious: "But, my father, Kou Zhong also promised to use Liang Du as a betrothal gift."
"Oh, he comes to propose marriage, do I have to accept it? What do you think of my precious daughter? Are those Song's clearly marked products? Liangdu? Without Kou Zhong, I, Li Yuan, can still win Liangdu."
"Father!"
"Okay, I've made my decision, no need to discuss it anymore!"... Luokou.
"Quick, quick, quick, strategist, when will the food and grass be ready? This time I attack Liangdu, I am sure to win, and I will never allow any mistakes!" Kou Zhong was anxious and eagerly awaited.
"Yes, Marshal! By the way, Yang Guang came to report a few days ago that he has an acquaintance in the Liangdu garrison. Do you want to summon him to discuss it?"
"Okay, if this siege can achieve great success, I will consider him a fifth-level meritorious officer and lead three thousand troops." Kou Zhong said without hesitation.
Any meritorious service will be rewarded. Anyway, by conquering Liangdu, he will be able to marry a beautiful woman. If he surrenders to the Li family, he won't have to worry about the rest.
Not a big problem.
"Yes!"......Luoyang, the southern suburbs, where the [Jing Nian Zen Temple], one of the leaders of the righteous path, is located.
There are more than hundreds of buildings in the temple, which looks like a small city. In the middle, there are seven main halls and a small copper hall that is three feet wide and one foot deep, and one and a half feet high.
Except for the Bronze Hall, all the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, which look like new. In front of the Bronze Hall, there is a platform square that is as wide as 100 feet, made of white stone and surrounded by white stone railings.
In the middle of the square is a bronze statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva riding a golden lion. Next to the niches are the Medicine Master, Sakyamuni and Amitabha Buddhas.
The colorful sculptures and gold ornaments are quite impressive. In addition to the four stone steps at the entrance and exit, there are five hundred Arhats evenly distributed around it, all made of gold and copper, and each one has a lifelike expression.
Fan Qinghui was standing at the door of the Bronze Hall, with Shi Feixuan and Xu Ziling standing on either side. No one knew that the Heshi Bi that the whole world was looking for happened to be found by Xu Ziling.
For some reason, as long as he meditates and works hard to sense, he can vaguely sense the direction of He's Bi.
With a target and the Buddhist forces all over the world, it is no longer surprising to find the Heshi Bi.
"Ziling, on behalf of the people of the world and the people of Li, I would like to thank you for your generous action this time regarding He's Bi." Fan Qinghui thanked you with a smile and a cold voice.
Xu Ziling didn't take it seriously. Fei Xuan told him that the master seemed to be stimulated by something when he was young, and he spoke and acted directly.
"Master, this He's Jade is a rare treasure from heaven and earth. It is surrounded by supernatural powers. As long as ordinary people get a little closer, they can see the extraordinary features of He's Jade. And there are many people in this monastery. If the news spreads, it will not only be the magic sect."
, who among those various clans and factions will not come to rob them? Does Zhengdao want to be the enemy of the world?" Xu Ziling asked in confusion.
"Haha? Clan? Sect?" Fan Qinghui was a little disdainful. No one knew how powerful Buddhism was.
"Ziling, have you seen this Bronze Palace? Throughout the ages, whenever there was chaos in the Central Plains, this He's Bi was kept by me, Cihang Jingzhai, until I chose a true emperor and then handed it over to him to prove my destiny.
Cihang Jingzhai knows He's Bi better than any other force, even the royal family. With the suppression of this Copper Palace, no one, including you, a destined person, will be able to sense the location of He's Bi." Xu Ziling was startled.
, close your eyes, meditate, and sure enough, there is no connection at all.
But, destined person? What does this mean? The master Feixuan on the side frowned: "Master, when we got the He's Bi this time, we were discovered by Huan Huan. Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan will definitely bring people to snatch it later. Demon
With a large family, will they be snatched away?" Fan Qinghui shook his head confidently: "Impossible! There is a Bodhidharma stick array outside here where 108 monks practice in the Zen monastery. Even if they face the great master, they can still fight.
Under the care of me, Cihang Jingzhai, even if Shi Zhixuan comes in person, I can still resist one or two. The most important thing is that there is Master Yixin sitting in the copper palace. Master Yixin has been practicing closed-mouthed meditation for thirty years, and no one knows what his current strength is.
Shi Zhixuan is cautious by nature. If he doesn’t find out the strength of Master Yixin, he will never attack rashly. By the time he reacts, we have almost chosen the real emperor. By then the Taoist master Ning Daoqi will arrive in person, and the emperor will sweep the world.
Who can stop us from establishing a prosperous world?" Hearing this, Xu Ziling was secretly frightened by the power of Buddhism.
A grand master, a suspected grand master, isn't it just a little worse than the Song family who has traveled all over the world? No wonder the Song family has publicly announced that it will not get involved in the Central Plains.
Fortunately, Feixuan is Cihang Jingzhai who is walking around the world today. She has promised to follow her to the Young Marshal's Army soon to see if he is the right one.
When the time comes, I hope my brother will work harder and don't let him lose face in front of the fairy.
"Can Master Yixin sit in the [Zhentian Hall]?" Fan Qinghui stood in front of the Tongdian and asked respectfully. Soon.
"Squeak~" A small door opened automatically on the side of the copper palace, and three people entered one after another.
"Amitabha, Master!" Fan Qinghui clasped his hands together and bowed. Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan also bowed.
There is only a golden high platform in the copper hall. A monk with visible bones and vicissitudes of skin, wearing golden monk robes, sits cross-legged on the top of the high platform, closing his eyes and meditating.
After saying hello, they received no response. The three of them were not surprised. After all, they had been practicing silent meditation for thirty years.
The heart is like a clear mirror, motionless as a mountain. Everything basically cannot affect the state of mind of the divine monk. Xu Ziling looked around and did not find the existence of He's Bi, but it is normal to think about it. This He's Bi has been kept by Zhengdao several times. It must be
Is there any secret mechanism?
In this way, even if the devil uses some conspiracy to break into this place, he will not be able to find the Heshi Bi for a while.
He is worthy of being the leader of the righteous path, and he has considered all aspects thoroughly. If a boy like him who was born as a gangster wants to go against Buddhism, he may be plotted to ruin his reputation and his family in less than half a day.
Fan Qinghui was a little surprised: "Master Yixin, where is the Heshi Bi?" After a long while.
"Dang~" A series of bells suddenly rang in the ears of the three of them. Sanskrit sounds washed their bodies and minds, and they seemed to feel truly transcendent and at ease.
Master Yixin slowly opened his eyes. His shiny black eyes seemed to see through everything in the world. They were clean and clear, and they penetrated the soul.
Looking at each other, Shi Feixuan and Xu Ziling lowered their heads subconsciously.
"Master Yixin! Where is the Heshi Bi?" Fan Qinghui continued to ask. Yixin smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to touch behind his back, paused, and touched it again, but it was still empty.
I got up, groped around the whole body, and looked around the palace. It was as smooth as a mirror.
"What the hell, where's the He's Bi?" Concubine Xuan:...Xu Ziling:...Fan Qinghui:?
