As expected by Zeng Yi and others, after today, the four countries really took action against the "peaceful people" in the country. The first to take action was, not surprisingly, Xixia, which Zeng Yi and others guessed. Xixia is a country that respects Confucianism and Buddhism.
Confucianism and Buddhism had a huge influence in Xixia.
The rulers of Xixia advocated belief in Buddhism and fully accepted the Buddhist ideological system. Therefore, the Buddhist ideological system occupies an extremely important position in the ideology of Xixia society. It goes hand in hand with the Confucianism strongly promoted by the Xixia government. In order to better
When he was governing the feudal country, he had long paid attention to absorbing Confucianism, and now Confucianism has achieved unprecedented development.
But also because of this, the influence of Buddhism and Confucianism among the people of Xixia is very huge. At some times, it even surpasses the Xixia royal family. Now, in Xixia, the people who are most opposed to taking action are some celebrities from these two families.
In fact, those people are not really opposed to launching a war. They just feel that it is not the right time. Compared with the Central Plains, Xixia's strength is still too poor. Some Buddhists and Confucians advocate that it is not too late to vigorously develop domestic strength and gather strength until they have the strength to take action.
.
It’s not that the rulers of Xixia didn’t know that doing so was actually the safest way. But at this point, many things could no longer be decided by the Xixia Emperor. The whole country was preparing for war. At this time, if the Xixia Emperor
, suddenly announced the abandonment of the plan, not to mention whether the Xixia families who had been preparing for a long time agreed or not, the Xixia military alone would not be able to survive.
Now that it was time to take action, the Emperor of Xixia naturally needed domestic consent. When war could no longer be fought, domestic opposition still came out, which made people's hearts unstable, especially those who spoke out were very famous.
The first news that came out was that the great eminent monk of Kasyapa Tathagata Temple in Western Xia suddenly passed away in the temple. The abbot of Kasyapa Tathagata Temple was a very famous eminent monk in Western Xia Buddhism. He was superb in Buddhism and was very respected by the people.
.
However, this eminent monk was very opposed to waging war, believing that war would waste people and money and would only make the situation in Xixia worse. A few days after this eminent monk passed away, Gao Zhiyao, a famous scholar in Xixia, suddenly fell seriously ill and died.
Gao Zhiyao, also known as Xianda. He was originally a Jinshi of the Western Xia Dynasty. He advocated hiring Confucian scholars and argued that Confucianism was beneficial to governing the country. He requested that Confucian scholars be exempted from corvee service and free the Huaishu Confucian scholars who were enslaved. He went to various places to free Confucian households who were enslaved, and established the Xixia
"Yushitai" specializes in handling this matter.
These actions gave Gao Zhiyao an excellent reputation among ordinary people. He was also one of the few people in the Xixia court who took a clear stand against launching a war at this time.
In less than a week, two celebrities in Xixia died in succession. These two people had one thing in common, they were opposed to launching a war now. Even a fool would have thought that Jin Yiwei was excluding dissidents.
What Zeng Yi and the others did not expect was that Xixia shamelessly attributed the deaths of the two people to the Central Plains. Xixia Yipintang issued an investigation application in a serious manner, saying that they suspected that the two people died unexpectedly. Although there was no evidence, it was inferred that
A certain big country wanted to disrupt Xixia's internal affairs and did something despicable.
"Xixia learns very quickly, and they will spit all the shit out of the Central Plains! What's even more unbelievable is that there are still people among the people who believe it!" After the fourth child heard the news, he couldn't help but say dirty words.
.
Zeng Yi smiled: "There are even more things that you can't believe. Not only some people believe it in Xixia, but also people in the Central Plains region. They even say that there is a conflict between the two countries. These eminent monks and Confucian scholars should not be involved!"
"...Have your brains been kicked by a donkey?"
The affairs of Xixia are not over yet. Tubo and Persia quickly followed suit, but Persia still did not interfere with the people of the Persian Ming Cult. However, the Persian Ming Cult has not been causing trouble recently. This can be regarded as silently supporting Persia's actions.
What worries Zeng Yi the most is the grassland. The one Meng Ge least trusts and is most wary of is Yelu Hongji. However, the two have obviously reached some kind of agreement, and Yelu Hongji has now participated in sending troops.
The conflict between the two people was temporarily put aside, and the person who worried them most became Xiao Feng. In order to force Yelu Hongji, Brother Meng deliberately sealed Xiao Feng's tribe, and Xiao Feng was in Yelu Hongji's Khitan tribe.
The prestige is very high, and it even threatened Yelu Hongji's position at one time, which is why Yelu Hongji eventually turned against Xiao Feng.
Although Xiao Feng is also a grassland person, his special experience makes him very embarrassed. People in the grassland will not trust him 100%, and it is impossible for the Central Plains to trust him completely. If the person in the grassland least wants to have a war with the Central Plains, it is probably Xiao Feng.
.
Although Xiao Feng's tribe is not big, Xiao Feng's strength is too strong. Meng Ge and Yelu Hongji guard Xiao Feng's tribe, but they only restrict it and do not dare to take action against Xiao Feng at this juncture.
In the end, Xiao Feng simply moved Xiao Feng's tribe to the depths of the grassland, far away from the Central Plains. Xiao Feng had no objection. He knew that war was unavoidable, so he simply stayed away from this dispute.
...
"Won't the Central Plains eliminate a wave of opposition?" Lao Si asked Zeng Yi curiously.
Zeng Yi shook his head, "How to clean it? The land is so big and there are so many people!"
"Then you're not afraid of traitors or anything like that?"
"Do you think that the two generations of Jinyiwei, the four great beasts, and the eight super masters are stationed in various parts of the empire just to guard against enemies? They are also stationed in the armies of various places to prevent traitors from appearing in the army bosses!"
Of course, the imperial court was not so confident about the powerful factions from various places. In addition to guarding against enemies, Qinglong's mission was also to intimidate various military bosses. In addition to these local bosses, the imperial court was actually very worried about the situation in Dali.
The situation in Dali is too special. Although the Duan family in Dali has always been loyal to the court, after all, it is not directly and completely controlled by the court. During the war, they were still very worried about Dali.
Because of this, the imperial court intentionally wanted Zeng Yi to officially go to Dali on behalf of the imperial court. In fact, Zeng Yi knew very well that according to Duan Yu's temperament, Dali didn't have to worry at all. But in order to reassure the court officials, Zeng Yi
I decided to go to Dali again before the war.
"You've got the identity of an imperial envoy again!" When the three bosses heard Zeng Yi's words, they all looked at him.
"The imperial court is also blind. Do you have that kind of temperament? Look at those diplomats in reality. They are not elegant and easy-going. To send a wretched guy like you is completely insulting to the national dignity!" The three of them took turns to mock!
