Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Hood looked at the Persian saintess and Osgudin, who still had Western thoughts, and said: "The openness and power of the Dayu court are far beyond your imagination. If you want to gain a foothold here, you have to put away your arrogance. Learn to integrate into this place." , instead of adapting this place to you. When you come to Dayu, you have to abide by Dayu's rules and see clearly the situation you are facing..."

He secretly glanced left and right, and saw that most people on the boat were watching Baixi, and said in a low voice, "If it wasn't for the fact that our Manicheism has a certain foundation in the Western Regions, Your Majesty would not talk to you at all. With His Majesty's ambition , sooner or later there will be a war with the Western countries. If you can become His Majesty's assistant in this matter, even if the Central Plains is not easy to develop, the West will still have a lot to do."

That's all, Hood didn't say much more.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Persian saint and Austin, Hood has been classified as a traitor.

But he knew in his heart that his belief in Mingzun remained unchanged, but during these years in the Central Plains, influenced by Chinese culture, his thinking gradually became orientalized.I am far less fanatical about religion than before, and have become more rational and sensible.He still hopes to see the development of Manichaeism in Dayu in his lifetime.

Facing the hardened Persian saint and Austin and the others, Hood can be the villain himself.

If you want Manichaeism to succeed, the Buddhist way is the best example.

Crossing the river by touching others is far more convenient than crossing the river by feeling the stones yourself.

Hood has already set the tone for Manichaeism, and it depends on whether the Persian saint and Augustine can compromise.

The Persian saint and Osgudin lost their mood for watching a hundred operas. After watching for a while, they retreated into the cabin to discuss.

It's just that they really couldn't accept that Hood asked them to integrate Chinese culture into the teachings of Manichaeism, and they also had to change their divine residence, and involve their Mingzun and Vulcan Zhu Rong together.

Half-aged children gathered together, how could they watch the performance so honestly, they didn't know where to go to play.

"Manichae Mu Ning and Osgoodin have met His Majesty!" The Persian saint and Osgoodin saluted and greeted with Chinese etiquette.

Mu Ning and Osgooding escaped to Dayu with the help of Wu Desi on the grounds that they were persecuted by Li Shengtian.

Zhou Ehuang didn't like excitement, so he didn't come with him.

The Persian saint said: "Understood."

The Persian saint said: "Let's go, let the Apostle Qinxiu lead us to see His Majesty."

Hood was busy translating for the two.

With him by his side, Luo Youdu felt at ease.

Luo Youdu said calmly: "You have tried your best to escape from Khotan and use holy war as a bargaining chip. But according to my investigation these days, this matter has not been spread, and it is in the stage of secrecy. Where did you get the news? What I want to know is this..."

Li Shengtian's current national policy is to win over the Gaochang Uighurs to deal with the Karakhan Kingdom.As long as his brain was not kicked by a donkey, there would be no reason to persecute the Manichaeism. At most, he would put them under house arrest and prevent them from fleeing to Dayu or the Gaochang Uighurs and Ganzhou Uighurs who were more friendly to the Manichaeism.

In such a good situation, the Manichaeans Mu Ning, Osgudin and his party would rather retreat to Dayu than to cut off their wrists. This is obviously related to the Karahan Kingdom’s plan to abandon Talas in order to curry favor with the Samanid Dynasty and launch a jihad. .

After learning that the Manichaeism had compromised, before he could speak, Fu Qing'er said helplessly: "Let Xiang'er be handed over to my concubine!"

Luo Youdu did not go to the palace to meet the Persian saint and Osgoodin, but found a quiet office in the nearby household department to meet Hood, the Persian saint and Osgoodin.

The left and right are in the imperial city, and Luo Youdu doesn't care.

And Manichaeism has a good foundation in both countries.

They are like lambs surrounded by lions, waiting to be slaughtered.

Luo Youdu smiled secretly, on the surface he disagreed, but he was very honest in his heart, he even chose the name.

Wu Desi's espionage is also mainly attacking these two countries, but even now they still haven't received any news about the jihad, they just noticed that the Karahan Kingdom has indeed made some strange moves.

In addition to their family, there are many officials and each other's family members at this end gate.

Luo Youdu's eyes fell on the face of the Persian saint. This Persian saint is in her twenties. She has sculpted eyebrows and nose, and a small cherry mouth. There is a clear difference between the high nose and the Han people, especially the eyes, faintly shining in the sky. Azure, deep and divine.

Austin was silent for a while, and the girl in front of him who had watched him grow up was more alert than he imagined, and said: "At least I can still hold the Manichaeism in my hands, and there is still hope. If I really want to give up, the world in this world There will be no one to teach me."

Li Shengtian is a very ambitious politician. He respects the Central Plains superficially. He respected the Central Plains as the suzerain early on and vigorously supported the Silk Road, but in fact he has always hindered the invasion of the Central Plains culture.Beware of Dayu taking control of the Western Regions again, and regarding the Western Regions as his own taboo.

The Eastern court needed a Manichaeism to promote oriental culture in the West, and they didn't care who owned the Manichaeism.

He already had a record in his heart. The Persian saint and Osgudin were stubborn and adhered to the canon. He didn't intend to sit back and watch the holy flame go out. At worst, he would start a new stove and light the Mingzun holy flame with his own ideas.

Luo Youdu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Kou family kid is here, I can't turn the sky around."

As one of Chou Chou's childhood playmates, Kou Zhun now has the demeanor of Xiao Wei Zheng.

He looked at the Persian beauty in front of him with burning eyes, and said: "You guys have come to see me today, which means that you have agreed to Dr. Hood's proposal. However, as fish on the chopping board, I still think you have to prove the value of your own existence. There is a need to discuss it.”

The Persian saint was a little bit moved by the youth of the Eastern Emperor in front of her. She spoke broken Chinese and introduced herself generously: "Ibn Ahmad Amunin, Ibn Ahmad Amunin, went to the country to do as the Romans did, and took the Chinese name of Mu Ning for himself. .”

Now the Kingdom of Khotan has always been on the dominant side in the battle with the Karahan Kingdom. It even surrounded the city of Kashgar and captured a large number of jewels, good horses and a dancing elephant.

The neglect of these days has made them realize the facts, and they came to Hood with the intention of compromise.

The hostility between the Karahan Kingdom, which is dominated by ethnic groups such as the Uighurs and the Ge Luolu, and Khotan, an old power in the Western Regions, has affected the stability of the Western Regions.

The whole country of Khotan believed in Buddhism, and Li Shengtian accepted the Manichaeism out of political considerations. His two biggest opponents in order to control the Western Regions were the old enemy Karahan Kingdom, and the Gaochang Uighurs.

In fact, the Persian Saintess and Osgudin had no other choice. In addition to Catholicism, the West is the world of the great law of eclipse, and the Western Regions still have a certain influence.But in order to seek a way out, they fled Khotan and had already turned against Li Shengtian. Now they are like dogs who lost their homes, and they have nowhere to go except in the east.

Luo Huixiang danced and pointed at the dense crowd of people on Luoshui, her little hands were flushed red.

"Munning?"

Fu Qing'er didn't see Luo Kangrui at the side, and couldn't help but said: "I don't even look at the children, it's so messy, what if I get into trouble?"

When Luo Youdu got the news from Hood, he was watching Baixi with his little padded jacket on the tower.

Osgoode said: "The apostles of Diligence originally preached the teachings in the East and translated my Manichean law codes. They have made great contributions and can be honored as the great saint apostles."

After the Khitan was destroyed, Wu Desi's elite spies entered the Western Regions in large numbers and began to form a Western intelligence network.

From the beginning, Luo Youdu did not believe this statement.

These transfers can prove the reliability of the "jihad" news from the side, but if it is not known in advance that there is a jihad, it is impossible to know all of this based on the current clues.

As for Luo Kangrui and his party, the little fellows have already disappeared.

Hood didn't keep up, and still watched Baixi with relish.

The Kou family boy refers to Kou Zhun, a famous future figure in history, who is not yet ten years old, but already as old-fashioned as a young adult.

Hearing this, Mu Ning looked at the young emperor above in surprise, wondering how he could prove his worth after making such a big concession?
Austin said respectfully: "Our biggest bargaining chip is Jihad. His Majesty has already found out about it. I really don't know what value I have."

As far as Hood wrote the article, "Burn my remnant body, the blazing holy fire. What joy is life, and why is death? For the sake of good and evil, only the light. Joy and sorrow, all return to dust. Pity me, the world, there are so many sorrows When the general doctrine of "have mercy on me, the world, and many sorrows" appeared in front of them, the nearly ninety-year-old wise king had already understood everything.

Blessed by the holy fire, Emperor Dayu almost completely changed their Manichaeism teachings, which is Sinology under the guise of Manichaeism.

The decision of the two is not that important to him.

From time to time, the palace would invite entertainers from a hundred folk operas to perform in the palace. Luo Huixiang had seen many of them and was not interested in their performances, but this was the first time she had seen such a lively scene. Watching people was better than performing.

It is "well known" that Luo Youdu's ancestors have been traced back to the fire god Zhurong, and Dayu also advocated the virtue of fire, and made a definite connection between the holy fire of the Manichaeism Mingzun and the Dayu court.

What he said was a bit complicated, and Austin probably understood it, but Mu Ning could only look at Hood.

There was a hint of helplessness in the pearl-like eyes of the Persian saint, and she said, "Apostle of Wisdom, we have no way out."

Luo Youdu smiled at the understanding Fu Qing'er, and quietly walked down the Duanmen.

Among the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings of Manichaeism, the Great Sage is the most respected, followed by the King of Wisdom.

The problem is that this highest-level national policy has not been disclosed so far, and even Li Shengtian doesn't know about it.

How did Manichaeism know?

They retreated so resolutely, obviously they are fully sure of the source of the news.

Manichaeism was once brilliant in the West. Although it has been suppressed by the Dafa and the Catholic Church, it has no place to stand, but the centipedes are dead but not stiff. Luo Youdu is sure that they must have some unknown in the West. the power of.

He didn't care about the news of the jihad itself, where did the news come from, but Luo Youdu was most concerned about it.
