The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 706: past future

Views:

The sky was high and the clouds were clear, and it was a rare good weather in winter. Li Ye took everyone to the north of Liangzhou.

Although the land of Hexi was initially determined, Li Ye was not worried about the issue of comforting the people and rebuilding order after the war. He has done too many of these things, and he will repeat them every time he lays down a piece of land. With Li Zhen and Cui Keli in charge of political affairs in Chang'an, the necessary civil servants and garrisons will be in place immediately.

Above the Immortal Territory, the Immortal Emperor's army, Yaozu, and Tongtian's trilogy have already begun to form relative to each other, and the battle will start soon.

At this time, Li Ye had been successfully promoted to the Golden Immortal Realm by taking advantage of the unity of the people caused by the recovery of the Twelve Prefectures of Hexi, so he was naturally not afraid of the Immortal Realm War.

Now, taking advantage of the little time before the battle started, Li Ye would not give up fighting if he could regain the whole of Hexi and "join forces" with the Guiyi Army.

King Qi did not return to Chang'an. On the one hand, it was the intelligence report from the Tsingyi Yamen, which showed that Wang Jian did not have the strength and signs to go east. He had just lost hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central Plains, so he did not have the strength; , to transfer the strength of his cultivation base to the Immortal Realm, so his safety will be guaranteed when King Qi is by his side.

Although it would be detrimental to a man's face to ask a woman to protect such a thing, but if this woman is the domineering King Qi, Li Ye will not have any psychological barriers. They're all brothers, it's too far-fetched to talk too much.

After King Qi learned of this, he was very happy, and patted his chest with muffled noises, saying that King An just rest assured that she would never let King An make any mistakes. Her posture showed that she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and she couldn't wait to prove to King An that she definitely had the strength to be relied on.

When King Qi slapped his chest, there was something particular about the muffled sound rather than the bang.

Only a woman without breasts can slap her breasts loudly. Because, they will shoot the breastbone. If you don't believe me, try shooting a balloon, can you make a loud noise

During this trip to the north, King Qi was the happiest and the one with the highest interest. From time to time, he glanced at the elder and younger commander, and uttered a few strange hums. go to heaven.

Regarding King Qi's arrogance, Si Ming naturally wouldn't protest. The other party is a king after all, and his strength is there, so there are some things to show off.

Only when King Qi didn't look at them, would they get together and grit their teeth against each other. Didn't you see that Da Si Ming and even Bai Lian were about to be crushed? If the one in his hand was not Bai Lian, but King Qi, he would probably look even more miserable.

In the past few days, seeing that King Qi and King An are getting closer, Shao Si Ming has a sense of crisis. When there is no one in private, he has urged Da Si Ming more than once to correct Wang An's orientation by asking her to go.

Shao Siming thinks that he has been with King An for too long. As a normal man, it is possible that King An is bored.

Da Si Ming is different, he hasn't recommended a pillow seat yet, and the temperament of the two is different, they eat a lot of light green vegetables, and they will definitely be interested in eating a plate of meat full of flavor, maybe it will make King An come back. Come up to the normal orientation.

For this, Da Si Ming naturally could only be ashamed, and the way she expressed her shame was to twist Shao Si Ming's little arm until it was black and blue. This made Shao Siming painful and disappointed. He often complained that Da Siming ignored the overall situation, and said that if King An's orientation changed completely, it would be a major national event, very serious!

Regarding the little fight between the young master Siming and King Qi, Li Ye thought that he was only suitable to be a spectator, and it would be nice to have a good time watching it. As for the self-proving of innocence, Li Ye disdains to do it. As a great monk, he must calm down, watch the ebb and flow of the tide, and the clouds rolling and clouds calming down, and discover the joy that others cannot discover.

Wukong followed beside Li Ye. Jiankong and Jianchen were ordered by him to go back to Liangzhou first, convey his and King An's will to Shimen, and rectify the family style, trying to present a new look to welcome King An's visit.

"A few years ago, the conflict between the Buddhism sect on the plateau and the Luna Sect led to civil strife in Tubo, a war between nobles and slaves, and the weakening of control over the land. The consequences were not only the rise of the Guiyi Army, but also the Uighur invasion of the Western Regions, seizing what was originally The territory occupied by Tubo."

Wukong did his best to explain the situation in Hexi and the Western Regions to Li Ye, "Now, the Guiyi Army has been attacked by the Uighurs, and they can only control Sha and Guazhou. The situation is actually very critical. But since King An has come, they will be liberated."

Li Ye sneered at the pointless explanation, and corrected lightly: "For the land of the Western Regions, Tubo has been fighting with the Uighurs for many years, and you Shimen, in fact, is that you are not up to date. If you are not busy fighting with the Moon God Sect, those places Will the Uighurs take over

"In the final analysis, the old places of the four Anxi towns are all the territory of my Tang Dynasty. Even if you occupy it temporarily, it is just a passer-by. Among other things, the kingdom of Khotan took the opportunity to become independent when the two of you were fighting. Isn't it Tang Feng now? Prevalent? There is a tendency to restore the Anxi Protectorate. Their lord claims to be Li."

Wu Kong was stunned, he didn't expect that Li Ye, who was far away in the Central Plains, had been busy sweeping down the feudal lords all these years, and knew so much about the situation in the Western Regions.

Shocked in his heart, he remembered that during the Hexi War, those lurking Yamen swordsmen in Tsing Yi sprung up like mushrooms and dealt a heavy blow to the Moon God Sect. He was filled with awe, and dared not say anything else.

Of course Li Ye would not tell Wukong, according to the original history, ten or twenty years later, Zhu Wen in the Central Plains succeeded in usurping the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and the Later Liang Dynasty was established, but the Khotan Kingdom in the Western Regions had a famous lord. Claiming to be a descendant of Li Tang, he also gave himself a Li name.

This is the famous Li Shengtian.

When Islam spread to the east, Li Shengtian led the army and civilians of the Khotan Kingdom and fought bloody battles with it for many years. Because Khotan believed in Shimen, it was also the last elegy of Shimen in the Western Regions. After the war, although the people of Khotan were defeated and moved eastward, it was also an epic history.

Speaking of it, it was the only battle where Shimen and Li Tang truly became one and fought against the alien army.

Now, the Lord of Khotan should actively contact the Guiyi Army to jointly fight against the Uighurs and the Ming religion that the Uighurs believe in, that is, Manichaeism.

Mingjiao originated in Persia, which is the group of people who believe in Islam now.

After being introduced to the East, Mingjiao prefers to rebel, and rebelling against the imperial court is their daily routine. Before Li Ye traveled, in the martial arts novels he read on Earth, there was a story about Mingjiao helping Zhu Yuanzhang establish the Ming Dynasty, and it also explained that the "Ming" of the dynasty meant commemorating Mingjiao.

This is of course a joke.

But Mingjiao is indeed this Mingjiao. The famous White Lotus Sect in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was the product of their fusion with the Maitreya Sect and the White Lotus Society.

Today, there are also Mingjiao forces in the Tang Dynasty, but they are all the lights of the fireflies. They can't be compared with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. It didn't matter to them when the heroes fought for hegemony before. Even if there is any feudal town, it is their sphere of influence, and it has little power now.

Datang is Li Ye's Datang, such small fish and shrimps, Li Ye is too lazy to look at them, it's not that Li Ye is careless and arrogant, it's really not worth it.

The current believers of Mingjiao are mainly Uighurs. The sectarian struggle has failed, and Persia has long since lost their living soil, just like Shimen will be driven out of Tianzhu.

The most prominent representative of civilization is undoubtedly religion.

Wherever religion goes, the people will eventually become religious people, living in this civilization as this civilization.

These sects in the west have been spreading to the east and have always existed in China.

The end point of the Tang Dynasty's spreading of Chinese civilization to the west is the four towns of Anxi and the dozens of Jimi prefectures. After the Battle of Constant Ross, the spread of Chinese civilization to the west came to an end. Not just in Datang, but all the time.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said that he would let the Chinese civilization cross the Great Wall and spread beyond the Great Wall.

Goodbye!

So the army of the big man conquered as far as they could go. That's why Chen Tang, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, dared to say: "Anyone who commits crimes against a strong Han will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

But having said that, under the Chinese civilization, there is really no religion that can represent it. The Taoist school is not qualified, the Tang Shimen is even less qualified, and the Confucianism school seems to be slightly qualified, but in terms of Confucianism alone, it is actually the most unqualified, unless they stop clamoring for swordsmen to enter Kuma and release Nanshan.

Compared with other sects in the world who are aggressive and aggressive, the few sects under the Han civilization are too moderate and conservative. If things go on like this, sooner or later they will end up on a path of self-sufficiency, which cannot be changed by a few mighty kings at all.

When the mountains, deserts, seas and other geographical advantages cannot be conquered, the gradually softening Chinese civilization can entertain itself in the east. Once the power of other civilizations and sects is strong enough to conquer the mountains, deserts, and seas, they will not Reasonable aggression will bring a near-destructive disaster to the Han civilization.

Li Ye thought that he had to reverse this predicament.

Survival is the first essence of civilization. How to survive in the face of powerful enemies is the biggest issue that civilization needs to consider.

As a time traveler, Li Ye felt that he had the obligation to see the development of that kind of historical inevitability.

Otherwise, even if he restores the territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, future generations will lose it after all.

The only answer he can think of at the moment, and the only answer he got from the experience of other civilizations and sects, is to maintain the expansion and fighting nature of civilization. Only by constantly expanding, constantly fighting, and constantly merging, and learning from each other's strengths in this process, and constantly becoming stronger, can we avoid extinction.

The country perishes with the weak, but the Han alone perishes with the strong.

The dynasty will die because of fighting, and it will die because of being strong, but what does that matter, civilization will not die. The dynasties will eventually change, as long as the civilization does not perish, the glory will eventually be re-established.

After the death of the Han Dynasty, isn’t there still Tang

Rome is also dead, isn't there still so many glorious empires behind

The glory will really disappear when the civilization that seeks strength dies.

In the final analysis, the survival of civilization, like all survival issues, is like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat.

This is a relatively long-term problem, and Li Ye decided to think about it in the future.

Right now, regardless of Uyghur or Mingjiao, Li Ye is more concerned about Guiyi Army.

The current leader of the Guiyi Army, Zhang Huaishen, is Zhang Yichao's nephew. He has repeatedly defeated the Uighurs who invaded from the Western Regions and defended Shazhou. He is indeed a hero.

But this situation can't last for too long, he will die in a short time, and he died very wrongly, it is said that he was killed by his younger brother.

The reason, of course, is the internal struggle for power.

Now, if conditions permit, Li Ye certainly hopes to change the fate of Zhang Huaishen and the fate of the Guiyi Army.

If he doesn't change, after Zhang Huaishen's death, the leader of the Guiyi Army will break away from the Central Plains and establish the Jinshan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty. In that case, it would have to wait decades later for another hero, Cao Yijin, to take over the scepter of the Guiyi Army and re-designate the Central Plains Dynasty as Zhengshuo.

Cao Yijin is a very nice guy. This name, Li Ye inexplicably felt very familiar.

But that was of no use. After the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, Zhao Song was unable to recover Hexi, and the final fate of the Guiyi Army was to be wiped out by Xixia Li Yuanhao after hundreds of bloody battles alone.

Now, in Shazhou, the Guiyi army is fighting against the Uighurs on the front line, but there are Li Ye's brothers, and there are also Li Ye's relatives.

Li Ye said to Wukong: "I have always had a question, whether you can really represent the Shimen? Although the Plateau Shimen is not big, it also controls the Plateau, the Western Regions and the Hexi half. Judging from the current situation, in the Great Tang Shimen There is no sound in the door, and the Tianzhu Shimen is about to perish. Your plateau Shimen is the last hope of the entire Shimen, right? How did the Buddhist realm instruct you?"

Wukong clasped his hands together, lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said: "Master Feihong said that the cause planted earlier will eventually bear the fruit later. As long as King An is here, the future will eventually come."

Li Ye was startled.

He hadn't heard from Master Feihong for a long time.

After the Battle of Hedong, Master Feihong returned to the Buddhist realm. Of course, Li Ye can speculate that her situation will not be very good after she returns.

But she didn't expect that she could still command Shimen disciples.

Li Ye asked: "The Holy Buddha has no other instructions?"

Wukong became more devout, and said: "The holy Buddha said that the cause planted earlier will eventually bear fruit later. As long as King An is here, the future will eventually come."

This time Li Ye was stunned.

Obviously, the Holy Buddha would not speak the same words as Master Feihong, at least not verbatim.

Therefore, what Wukong means is that Master Feihong will become a holy Buddha!

Master Feihong wants to rebel!

If the word "rebel" applied to her.

In an instant, Li Ye realized that this trip to Liangzhou was not as easy as he thought.

Master Feihong is fighting against Shengfo in two courts, in fact, it is a war!

Li Ye is already on the battlefield in this war between the Shimen and the Buddhist realm.

Master Feihong's actions undoubtedly showed that the Holy Buddha did not agree to coexist harmoniously with Li Ye.

Whether to coexist and prosper with Li Ye, or to fight to the end with Li Ye, are the two banners of the war between Master Feihong and Saint Buddha.

As a person participating in this war, Li Ye is very clear about the role he plays. He and Master Feihong are undoubtedly grasshoppers on the same rope. It can be said that Master Feihong is helping Li Ye, and it can also be said that Li Ye is helping Master Feihong.

At this moment, Li Ye instantly understood why Master Feihong had to release water for him during the Battle of Hedong!

For an existence at the level of Master Feihong, she helped Li Ye in a disguised form in Hedong, and it was definitely not because she was lonely and bored, so she fell in love with the extraordinary Li Ye.

In other words, she fell in love with Li Ye's extraordinary, but what aroused was not the love for her children, but her judgment and firm belief in the future! I saw the future of Shimen!

At that time, Master Feihong foresaw the current situation! From then on, Master Feihong believed that Li Ye would eventually pacify the heroes in the Tang Dynasty, and go to Hexi, to the plateau, to Hexi, to the Shimen who needed the future!

The Buddha said that he can see the past, the present, and the future.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Master Feihong can see this.

But Li Ye knew that it wasn't that Master Feihong had the ability to break through the future, but that his analysis of the situation was penetrating and just right. All the ability to break through the future comes from a precise understanding of the present. When Master Feihong was in Hedong, he thought that Li Ye would become the future of Shimen!

This is not aimless. When Li Ye attacked Hedong, he had the Quanzhen Temple under his command. He could allow Taoist sects to survive under him. As long as Shimen was willing to change, they could naturally exist under his wings.

When Li Ye attacked Hedong, his subordinates were like rain of counselors and clouds of fierce generals. It could be seen that he had carefully managed for many years, so it was not so unimaginable that he could pacify Datang.

At that time, Master Feihong saw Li Ye's present, and he was able to gain insight into Li Ye's past and predict Li Ye's future.

Therefore, Master Feihong saw that Datang is the future of Shimen!

The future of Shimen can only exist in Datang!

This also means that Master Feihong has long believed that the Holy Buddha cannot defeat the true God Allah, and the Shimen cannot guard Tianzhu, or even the Western Regions.

So when he was in Hedong, Master Feihong released water for Li Ye, which was considered a good relationship.

So when Li Ye arrived in Hexi, Master Feihong asked Wukong to come to meet him and join him. This is the second good relationship.

The purpose is to let Li Ye be able to give Shimen a living soil in Datang in the future.

If Li Ye knew what Master Feihong said to Manjusri, he would understand that the "big trend" that Master Feihong said was actually referring to him!

He is the trend of the world.

Only those who obey will have a chance of survival.

Thinking of this in a flash, Li Ye didn't know what kind of expression he should have. He could only show a helpless smile, and said to himself: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, but it's very uncomfortable to let me... Excuse me."

Before I knew it, I felt a little proud, haha.

Looking at Liangzhou from a distance, Li Ye gradually recovered his calm state, and began to think about the situation he would face next.

Undoubtedly, there will be a big battle in Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, and even Shazhou and Guazhou. A great battle broke out from within the Shimen, with Dashi Feihong and Shengfo as the commanders of the two armies, sweeping all the creatures that existed on this land.

As Master Feihong's greatest support in the mortal world, the burden on Li Ye's shoulders is not light.

It's really interesting, the civil war is fierce in the Daomen Immortal Court, and it seems that the Shimen Buddhist Realm is not immune.

Li Ye shook his sleeves, leaned on his belt and looked towards the western sky, and said meaningfully: "Master, sir, don't be slapped to death by the holy Buddha. You want me to help you calm down and unify the world Shimen, with the help of mortal Shimen believers, to confront the holy Buddha, at least until I accomplish this. It would be absurd if you fell early."

...

Buddha domain.

Manjusri went back and forth, and came to the shrine again, staring at the misty figure in the crystal ball.

This time, she didn't lean forward to observe the people inside carefully, and there was no sympathy or pity in her eyes, only the sharpness of killing and resoluteness.

Manjusri's voice was as cold as a stone, "Feihong, the holy Buddha already knew what you did, he asked me to knock you down to hell and deprive you of your cultivation. In this crystal ball, you have no No room for resistance."

Speaking of this, Manjusri sighed after all, put his hands together, nodded and said: "The sea of suffering is boundless, if you repent now, I can make my own decision to suspend the execution of the holy Buddha's order and give you a chance to intercede with the holy Buddha."

In the crystal ball, Master Feihong's voice came out. Gu Bo was not surprised, the wind was calm, but she was determined and powerful. She said: "With these words, it is enough for you to share the future with Shimen."

Manjusri was stunned, almost thinking that Master Feihong was talking nonsense, so he frowned and said, "This crystal ball is maintained by the power of the Holy Buddha. You entered it voluntarily to be punished. It is impossible to escape from it. You will die soon." Dao is dead, so what about the future..."

Before she finished speaking, she stopped abruptly, as if someone had strangled her throat.

The crystal ball in front of him was cracked inch by inch.

In the short time, the crystal ball shattered and turned into a pile of waste in front of Manjusri.

Master Feihong, who was dressed in white without cassock, stood in front of her again, with peaceful brows, neither sad nor happy.

Manjusri couldn't help taking two steps back, and lost his voice: "Feihong, you, you..."

Master Feihong smiled lightly. He was clearly holy and pure, but he had the charm to overturn all living beings. "If I go in voluntarily, I can come out by myself."

This faint smile, like a flowing cloud, contained a hint of joking.

Manjusri still shook his head: "Impossible, this is impossible! Even if you hold back, this is a small world maintained by the power of the Holy Buddha after all. You cannot have the power to defeat the Holy Buddha!"

Master Feihong sighed lightly, clasped his hands together, and when he nodded, there was a trace of compassion between his brows. The originally teasing face now had no other meaning except for the color of a Bodhisattva. She said, "Manjusri, don't you understand?" , the battle between the Holy Buddha and Allah is not a draw, but a defeat."

Manjusri immediately understood that only when the holy Buddha was seriously injured by Allah, and his own strength was weak, would he be unable to maintain the volume of the crystal ball and continue to suppress Master Feihong.

"Defeated...defeated? The holy Buddha...is really defeated?" After finishing this sentence, Manjusri had no other words, only bowed his head and recited the Buddha's name, as if this sentence There is a great sin.

Holy Buddha, never defeated.

All the monks in Shimen and Foyu never thought that the Holy Buddha would be defeated.

The reason why the Holy Buddha is a Holy Buddha should be invincible.

But now, the facts have shown that he has indeed lost.

Master Feihong didn't pay much attention to Manjusri, and walked towards the gate of the temple, "Manjusri, the holy Buddha made a mistake, and he made mistakes again and again. The life and death of Shimen is in the autumn, and you should make your choice."

Manjusri looked up at Feihong's back, "Choose to stand with you?"

"Choose...to stand with the future."
