The capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an, Li Clan. Since proclaiming themselves 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 her many times, and they seem to want to confirm the true destiny. In addition, the Li family's legitimate daughter and the Song family's great master have a close relationship. With such support, who can say that the Li family is inferior?
Although the relationship 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 is puzzling is that the four major bandits have already cooled down. How did the news of this rescue spread? Anyway, Li has always denied it.
Is there anything else weird? Central hall. Li Yuan sat at the front seat, stroking his beautiful beard and nodding from time to time.
This is a family meeting, and Li Shimin, sitting first on the left, is reporting respectfully. He is respectful. One is that the greatest virtue in the world is filial piety, and the other is of course that he has to be respectful.
Everyone knows that Li Yuan was loyal and respectful to the Sui Dynasty. It was Li Shimin who persuaded the Li clan to rebel, and even forced him with 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, known as the Tang Dynasty King.
He was still complacent at first, thinking that his hard work had made great achievements and he had devoted himself to the Tang Dynasty. In addition, 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 and were unpredictable and unpredictable.
The key is that under the name of Datang, 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 real strong man 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. Liangdu 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 wants to show off his face. Li Shimin felt happy and immediately prepared to persuade him. Although his father was scheming, he was also indecisive and often listened to the last person to say.
And the second sister has always been close to him. If he can win over Koo 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, what do you think?" Li Yuan asked curiously. Aristocratic families have always established eldest sons and direct descendants, just to prevent the descendants from succeeding, and 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 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 mythical beast of the Song family, according to Reliable news, the news that Kou Zhong has left the Young Marshal's Army, and that he has the support of the Song family, is pure nonsense. Father, this is what I have to say." After speaking, Li Jiancheng returned to his seat directly, sitting upright, not Say one more thing.
We are all smart people and will stop at the click. Li Yuan pondered for a moment and looked at Li Xiuning with an expressionless face.
"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 Shao Shuaijun's current strength, it would be more than enough to be Li's son-in-law.
But just now Li Jiancheng talked about an issue. This Kou Zhong was born into 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 his 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 power imbalance? Don’t the people of the world want to sit on that supreme position in the world? Regardless of how the eldest son will be dealt with by then, the old guy might even be forced to step down.
He is only in his fifties and normally has twenty years left to live. How could he just watch his rights leave him?
If these are nothing, after all, the meat is still rotten in the pot, after all, the Li family will win the world. But that Kou Zhong could reach his current status from a beggar with nothing, and could easily win the heart of a sergeant of the Li family, this 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 Li be able to grasp such a talent? Will he be like Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, 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 empress 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 tradition of the Li family has always been to keep promises, be loyal, righteous, benevolent and filial. So you and Gao Zhong's marriage should be discussed later." Li Yuan said solemnly.
Some things have to be nipped in the bud, even if it's only a remote possibility. Li Xiuning's face turned pale.
Li Shimin was a little anxious: "But, father, Kou Zhong also promised to use Liangdu 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 clearly marked products of the Song family? Liangdu? Without Koo 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 bound to win. No mistakes will be allowed!" Kou Zhong was anxious and waiting eagerly.
"Yes, Marshal! By the way, Yang Guang came to report a few days ago. 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.
Merits will be rewarded. Anyway, after taking Liangdu, he can 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 Monastery], 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 with a width of three feet and a depth of three feet, and a height of half a foot.
Except for the Bronze Hall, all 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 Buddha.
Colored sculptures and gold ornaments are quite impressive. In addition to the four stone staircase entrances and exits, there are five hundred Arhats evenly distributed around it, all made of gold and bronze, and each one has a lifelike expression.
Fan Qinghui was standing at the door of the Tongdian, with Shifei Xuan and Xu Ziling standing on both sides. No one knew that the Heshi Bi that everyone in the 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 righteousness 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 straightforwardly.
"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 with mixed eyes. If the news spreads, it will not only be the magic sect." , who among those various clans and clans will not come to snatch it? 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. Regarding He's Bi, Cihang Jingzhai knows better than any other force, even the royal family. With the suppression of this Copper Palace, no one, including you, a person of destiny, 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, the man of destiny? What does it mean? The concubine on the side frowned: "Master, when we got the He's Bi this time, Huanwen discovered it. Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan will definitely bring people to snatch it later. The Demon Sect is so powerful, will it 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 it faces the great master, it can still fight. Inside, I, Cihang Jingzhai, will take care of me. Even if Shi Zhixuan's relatives It can even 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-mouth 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 about Yixin With the strength of the master, he will never attack rashly. By the time he reacts, we have almost chosen the true emperor. When the time comes, the Taoist master Ning Daoqi arrives in person, and the emperor will sweep across the world and establish a prosperous world. Who can stop him? "Listen! At this point, Xu Ziling was secretly frightened by the strength 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 publicly announced that they would 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 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 Hall 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 down. Xu Ziling and Shi Fei Xuan also bowed.
There is only a golden high platform in the copper hall. A monk who is skinny and skinny, 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 mind is like a clear mirror, motionless as a mountain, and basically nothing can affect the state of mind of the holy monk. Xu Ziling looked around, but did not find the existence of He's Bi. However, it was normal to think about it. This He's Bi had been kept by Zhengdao several times, so there must be some mechanism behind it.
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 considers every aspect thoroughly. If a boy like him who was born as a gangster wanted to go against Buddhism, he would probably be tricked into ruining his reputation and ruining 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 He's Bi?" Fan Qinghui continued to ask. Isshin smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to touch behind him, paused, and touched 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.
"Damn it, where is the Heshi Bi?" Shi Fei Xuan:...Xu Ziling:...Fan Qinghui:?
