Chapter 293: Luoyangs election of emperor? Breaking the situation!
"Your Majesty, do we want to go to Luoyang? It is said that the descendant of Cihang Jingzhai, Shifei Xuanshi Fairy, will be there to elect the emperor on behalf of heaven and the new co-lord of the world!" Yun Yuzhen asked, observing the words and expressions.
Qin Ran pondered slightly, "This election of the emperor is a farce. No powerful person will agree with this result. It is just to build momentum for the person Cihang Jingzhai likes. When is the specific time?"
Fu Junzhuo said: "According to the time when Shi Feixuan is released, it will be seven days later!"
"Seven days!" Qin Ran looked thoughtful. At this moment, the streets in the distance suddenly became noisy. It seemed that a large-scale conflict was taking place.
"Who? How dare you make trouble in Xiangyang City!" Yun Yuzhen was furious. After occupying Xiangyang, she relied on her pillow skills to find Xiangyang as the new headquarters of the Jukun Gang. Of course, the Jukun Gang would also protect Xiangyang.
Public security in Xiangyang, if someone is causing trouble in Xiangyang, they are slapping her in the face!
Qin Ran looked at it from a distance and sneered, "Let's go and have a look!"
Walking closer, the two parties to the dispute were also revealed. One side was the guard of Xiangyang City, and the other side was actually hundreds of monks holding sticks.
"You great monks, there is an order from above that all unowned land outside Xiangyang City will be confiscated and distributed to people who have no land for planting. Why do you forcefully stop it!"
The leading monk, who had a fat head and big ears, and a red face, was full of anger, "What a land without one, these are the property of my Jing'an Temple, and they are tributes presented to the Buddha by my Buddhist followers. Why do you take them back?"
Qin Ran signaled to Yun Yuzhen, who understood and immediately called a guard and asked, "What happened here?"
The guard was originally a member of the Jukun Gang. He recognized Yun Yuzhen and immediately replied respectfully: "Back to the gang leader, the remnant of the Hanshui Gang, donated most of his family property to this Jing'an Temple, so he hid in Jing'an Temple to seek
To protect us, we wanted to confiscate the property left by the Hanshui Gang, so we were obstructed by the Jing’an Temple.”
Qin Ran's expression moved slightly, "Yuzhen, please collect for me the industrial scale of Jing'an Temple."
This is not difficult. All the properties in Xiangyang have been recorded. Not long after, someone sent the account books. Qin Ran casually looked through them and sneered, "More than 50,000 acres of fertile land and more than 50 shops. Okay.
A Buddhist pure place!”
"Half of this is provided by the remnants of the Hanshui Gang. With so many benefits, it's no wonder that these monks are greedy for profit and dare to go against us! Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?" Yun Yuzhen said coldly.
"What to do? These thieves and bald monks do not engage in production, and live a so-called peaceful life relying on people's wealth and anointing. Those thief balds who have no worries about food and clothing, and even fat heads and big ears, and the large number of displaced people who are hungry and cold are originally contradictory, but no one
Just de-intensify it." Qin Ran said in a deep voice; "They are just a bunch of maggots parasitic on the people. Kill them all and confiscate all their property!"
Fu Junzhuo reminded: "This Jing'an Temple is an orthodox Buddhist temple. If it is eradicated, I am afraid it will arouse the hostility of Buddhism!"
"Am I afraid of those monks and nuns? Besides, they and I are enemies to begin with!" Qin Ran looked indifferent. Buddhism supported the Northern Li Clan, Li Shimin. He wanted to dominate the world and it was natural for him to be hostile to Buddhism.
"However, you have reminded me that I know how to deal with Cihang Jingzhai's so-called Emperor of Luoyang!"
Although the election of emperor in Luoyang was a farce, it artificially gave Li Clan a destiny. With the influence of Buddhism, Buddhist believers would naturally support Li Clan, which Qin Ran did not want to see.
"What are you going to do?" Fu Junzhuo asked curiously.
Qin Ran said lightly: "There are three main elements in selecting the emperor for Shi Fei Xuan. One is Shi Fei Xuan who represents Cihang Jingzhai and the world's Baidao. The second is He Shibi who represents the fate of the world's emperors.
.The third is to have a selected candidate. If one of these three elements is not met, it will not be completed!"
Yun Yuzhen and Fu Junzhuo nodded in agreement.
Qin Ran continued: "According to normal logical thinking, there are three ways to destroy Shi Feixuan's election of emperor. The first is to kill Shi Feixuan. The second is to kill the candidate chosen by Shi Feixuan. The third is to steal the Heshi Bi.
.Any one of these three methods can make Cihang Jingzhai’s hope come to nothing.”
"Then what are your plans?" Fu Junzhuo approached Qin Ran and asked curiously.
Qin Ran smiled coldly: "The first way is to kill Shi Fei Xuan, but this is very difficult. As far as I know, not only does she have a master cultivation level, but she is also accompanied by the number one person in the Central Plains, San Zhenren Ning Daoqi.
The Grand Master protects the Dharma. It is unwise to use force."
Yun Yuzhen said harshly: "Then destroy her emperor candidates chosen by Cihang Jingzhai, and let them hold the Heshi Bi without anyone to give them to them!"
Qin Ran shook his head: "It's also very difficult. Li Shimin is a hero of his generation, and the people in Tiance Mansion are even better among everyone. Although we have an advantage in personal force, with Cihang Jingzhai's care, I'm afraid we are even stronger."
If you act harshly, it will be difficult to succeed."
"Then we have no chance of winning?" Yun Yuzhen frowned.
Qin Ran laughed loudly and said: "Who am I? Why can't I do anything? Just watch! Tomorrow night we will take action to completely destroy Cihang Jingzhai's dream!"
There was a strange light in Fu Junzhuo's eyes, "This He's Bi is the most heavily defended treasure. It was escorted by Shi Fei Xuan and Ning Daoqi all the way, and was finally sent to Jing Nian, one of the four Buddhist holy places in Luoyang.
In the Zen monastery, Liao Kong and other four great Dharma monks are closely protecting you, and there are also thousands of martial monks with high martial arts to protect you. What are you going to do?"
"Since I have decided to be hostile to Buddhism, I will simply destroy the Jing Nian Temple and steal the Heshi Bi! This so-called farce of choosing an emperor will be broken!" Qin Ran said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, both women were shocked.
…
Hearing that Qin Ran was planning to take action against Jing Nian Chan Monastery, Queen Zhu Yuyan was surprised and happy, and decided to fully cooperate with Qin Ran.
Interestingly, Wang Shichong, the landlord of Luoyang, was also a member of the Demon Sect. Although he was not close to the Yinkui sect, he was also wary of the Jingnian Chanyuan next to him. After receiving the letter from Zhu Yuyan, although he did not directly intervene in this
However, he secretly opened a convenient door and allowed Qin Ran to mobilize more than 5,000 elite soldiers to enter his sphere of influence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On a moonlit night, on the outskirts of Luoyang, in Jing Nian Zen Temple.
Jingnian Zen Monastery is a Buddhist holy place as famous as Cihang Jingzhai, so it is naturally grand in scale and full of atmosphere.
There are no less than a hundred buildings in the temple, making it a small town.
All buildings are arranged along the central axis opposite the temple gate. In the center is a copper hall that is three feet long, wide and about one foot and a half tall.
Just by looking at this copper palace built to isolate the special energy of the Heshi Bi, you can tell how rich this Buddhist holy land is. A hall made entirely of copper with precious metals added, and carefully built by skilled craftsmen, even the four gates
Nobles of this level may not be able to build it.
Because, if the wall thickness of this copper palace is calculated as about 400mm (the wall thickness of modern storage cold storage is generally 370mm), even if the material is tin bronze that was popular in the Sui Dynasty instead of pure copper, then the weight of this copper palace will be
will exceed 300 tons.
What was the concept of collecting more than 300 tons of copper to build a building in ancient times? In the Sui Dynasty, the currency was five baht coins, and each copper coin weighed only about 3 grams. So this copper temple alone contains one billion copper coins.
Ignoring the shortage of gold and silver supply during the Sui Dynasty, and converting 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10 copper coins = Wen copper coins according to the currency value after the Song Dynasty, then the value of this copper palace is one million taels of silver or one hundred thousand taels of gold.
Using one hundred thousand taels of gold to build a copper palace would be nothing but a pain in the ass... while the other buildings are all tall and majestic, uniformly covered with three-color glazed tiles, bright in color and magnificent.
Qin Ran's cold and stern voice sounded: "There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, so many towers in the mist and rain, huh, how many people's fat and money have to be robbed to build a Zen temple of this size? Are you talking about meditation? Bah! Every corner is filled.
stink of money."
Behind Qin Ran, five thousand elite soldiers dispersed silently, surrounding the Jing Nian Zen Monastery from all directions. The commotion caused by so many people was not small, and it quickly attracted the attention of the monks in the Zen Monastery.
At this time, the lights in the Zen temple kept lighting up, and then the sound of footsteps sounded. One by one, the bald monks, led by the leader, poured out from every corner and walked quickly towards the large square with white jade railings at the entrance to the temple.
Come.
These monks were strong and agile, and it was obvious at first glance that they were practicing strong martial arts. What was even more astonishing was that their steps were uniform, their movements were silent, and they appeared to be extremely organized.
There are almost three hundred such monks, which is really a powerful force.
On the battlefield, hundreds of well-trained and well-coordinated masters form an arrow formation, and even tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers may not be able to withstand it and will be rushed away.
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly. If he really had a decisive battle with the Li clan in the future and was charged by such a group of monk soldiers in conjunction with Li Shimin's black armor cavalry, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to resist on the battlefield. He would take advantage of today to kill all these Buddhist backbones.
!
In front of these monk soldiers, there are four older monks standing, all of whom have restrained divine light and powerful aura. They are the four great protectors of Jing Nian Monastery, Vajra, who are not angry, not afraid, not greedy, and not delusional.
They were looking nervously and looking at Qin Ran and others with wary expressions.
At this time, the ten-foot-tall heavy bronze door of the Central Bronze Hall opened without any wind, and a tall, thin and handsome monk slowly walked out. It was Master Liao Kong, the master of the Jing Nian Zen Monastery.
Looking at the dense army behind Qin Ran, he couldn't help frowning and winked at Bu'ai, the leader of the Four Vajras.
Buhu put his hands together and asked: "In the pure land of Buddhism, who is the unknown donor? What is the purpose of leading the army here?"
Qin Ran secretly thought, these monks should have known it was hard to give up when they saw this. Could it be that they wanted to delay time? So he didn't waste any time, raised his right hand, and then waved it down.
The soldiers in the front row of the five hundred elite regiment behind them immediately dispersed, revealing the crossbows that had been set up behind them.
To be honest, Qin Ran was very shocked when he saw these crossbows in the Dongming Sect for the first time. This kind of crossbow was designed by Lu Miaozi and the drawings were sent to the Dongming Sect by Qin Ran and was named the Dongming Divine Bow.
It far exceeds the single-man military crossbows such as the horn-shaped crossbow and the arm-shaped crossbow that appeared in history. It is also superior to the divine arm bow that only appeared in the Song Dynasty.
The bow is relatively compact and can be carried by a single soldier. It is launched using a cleverly arranged machine spring. Its range exceeds 250 steps and is powerful enough to penetrate heavy armor.
Under such cover shooting with bows and arrows, it would be extremely difficult for even average masters to escape.
Qin Ran was too lazy to talk nonsense with the monks and immediately shouted coldly: "Launch!"
The elite regiment behind them, which had been divided into several rows, immediately followed the order of special training these days. The first row knelt down, the second row half-kneeled, and the third row stood upright. They fired arrows under the command of the leading sergeant.
A large number of arrows were fired directly at the monks in Jing Nian Monastery in the dark night, which was no different from modern heavy machine gun fire.
Although those monks had practiced martial arts, they didn't expect that the visitors would suddenly attack even though they were talking to each other. Secondly, the distance was too close, and it was impossible for those who were weak in Qinggong to avoid them.
Only the sound of sharp arrows being shot into flesh and blood was heard, followed by the screams of a large number of monks.
(Three thousand four hundred words, today there are seven thousand words)
