Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 220 I actually agreed
"Later, Anlu Mountain in Huer really rebelled, and the Tang army was repeatedly defeated. They had no choice but to borrow troops from the Uyghurs. The Uyghurs agreed to send troops, but the conditions they agreed with Datang were 'recover the two capitals, return the land to Tang, and the lady Jinbo will serve as the Uyghurs. Take it arbitrarily for three days'. Such an absurd condition, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually agreed."

"Ah! After the Uighurs entered the Tang Dynasty, they robbed property and raped their sons everywhere, and their harm was even more severe than that of the Anlushan rebels. At that time, there was a local official who was a member of the seven clans and five surnames. In his anger, he killed a The culprit of the Uighur who set fire to many refugees fleeing the war in the Buddhist temple was put in prison. After hearing the news, the Uighur leader galloped from the Honglu Temple to the county prison, wounded the jailer, and robbed the prisoner. The so-called subject country is so arrogant, The Tang Dynasty was helpless. And this is not counting, after the Uighurs left, the Tang Dynasty continued to give them "rewards" to appease them, and at the same time was forced to buy many sick and old Uighur horses at high prices."

"Your Majesty can also imagine that the orthodox concept of China is the strongest among the noble families. Even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has Hu people's blood, which makes them feel contemptuous. What's more, let the foreign races be so rampant, and the own court has no regard for decency and dignity? At this point, those wealthy and powerful families all complained, but the imperial court was glamorous and weak, but they were helpless. Those far-sighted people among the seven clans and five surnames believed that the crisis was getting closer, so they persuaded the head of the family and sent most of the clan Power and resources are completely separated from the seven sects and five surnames who are in the open, from the light to the dark, and hide among the people. Surviving bloodline."

"Later, as expected by the seven sects and five surnames, the Tang Dynasty flourished for only three generations, and then there were frequent chaos, such as 'Yuyang frowns', 'Anshi Rebellion', 'Zhu Mi Rebellion', 'Liu Zhan Rebellion', 'Floral and Town Separation', 'Clique disputes', 'Nanlu incident', 'Li Xiyeol's rebellion', 'Wu Jiyuan rebellion', 'The capital fell three times, and the emperor moved four times', by the end of the Tang Dynasty, the people were in dire straits, and there was even a tragedy of people changing their sons to eat each other. At this time, a series of chaos caused the Great Tang to decline day by day, and Hu Feng became more and more violent."

"Speaking of which, the Tang Dynasty was taken from the Great Sui Dynasty, but from the founding of the country to the subjugation of the country, even when the country was at its most prosperous, it never recovered the territory and prosperity of the Sui Dynasty. The piece was gouged out."

"At that time, Eastern Liaodong was occupied by Sumo Mohe people. Western Liaoning was occupied by Khitan people. Anxi and Beiting Dufu were divided up by Tubo, Uighurs, and big cannibals. Hexi and western Sichuan were occupied by Tubo. North of Chang'an, Xiazhou, Qingzhou was handed over to the party members by the Tang court. Tubo and Uighurs even captured Chang'an several times. Even the small Nanzhao Kingdom once wiped out more than [-] Tang troops and occupied Chengdu twice."

"Ah! Up to now, most of these places are still in the hands of foreigners, and almost all the lands raising horses since the Qin and Han Dynasties have been lost to foreigners. As a result, my country of China is always short of horses and cavalry."

"When Huang Chao rebelled, the Tang Dynasty was powerless to put down the rebellion, so he borrowed troops from the Shatuo people. This way, they lured wolves into the house. The Shatuo people wreaked havoc on the Central Plains. They established a country in ten years, and a king in three years. At that time, there were many countries. The wars are endless, everything is broken, everything is wiped out, the powerful clans are disintegrated, and they are no longer the glory of the day."

"At this time, the hidden forces of the seven sects and five surnames have not been greatly impacted because they are surrounded by the three religions and nine streams, and the five surnames and relatives are at the core. At that time, the seven clans and five surnames had developed and grown among the people to have great influence and enormous power. They had huge wealth, a perfect intelligence network, criss-cross connections and even powerful force. All these seven clans and five surnames Strength, if concentrated, is enough to establish a country and destroy a country."

"Hey! People's hearts always want to change. At this time, the descendants of the seven clans and five surnames gradually lost their original intention of just preserving their blood and developing silently in the process of development. Many patriarchs of the seven clans and five surnames thought that they no longer had Is it necessary to continue to endure in order to restore the prestige and surname of nearly 200 years ago, wasting the efforts created by several generations of my father and grandparents? In this troubled world, if we concentrate the hidden power of the entire seven clans and five surnames, can't they fight a big one by themselves? Is there a better way to preserve a bloodline than to become the emperor of a country?"

"But at this time, that is, about a hundred years ago, the hidden forces of the Cui family in Qinghe called a son-in-law. This person was surnamed Yu. He believed that the seven clans and five surnames conquered the world, and becoming emperor was the way to kill the clan. Just the fact that the seven clans and five surnames are fighting each other for the throne of the emperor is enough to make them embark on the road of extermination, not to mention that they have turned from the dark to the bright and exposed to the powerful eyes of all parties in the world. This son-in-law of the Cui family can be described as He is a genius from the sky, possessing peerless supernatural powers, and his methods are superb. It took five years to kill the head of the family who wanted to be the emperor, and then united the forces of the seven clans and five surnames from a loose alliance into one. He established a strict, mysterious and extremely strict organization called Jishitang, and they also called themselves the Holy Church. And he became the head of the first generation of the Holy Church. The heads of the seven clans are elders. But listen to my master say that now There are two more elders, and there are nine elders in the Inheritance Hall, and the two more elders are disciples of the Holy Hall Master."

"According to the idea of ​​the head of the temple, the Jisi Hall should never be exposed to the light, but should hide behind the scenes, support an emperor, and control the general situation of the world. In fact, in the past 50 years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, many countries have established their own countries, The destruction of the country is all controlled by them behind the scenes."

Speaking of this, Xing Xiyang looked at Zhao Kuangyin whose expression was fluctuating, and felt more complacent, and continued: "So, Ji Si Tang is not a quack gang, nor is it a religious force, but a combination of literati, quack masters, and mysterious inheritance. A special force. Because the various systems established by the mysterious person have been continued, they act extremely cautiously, and every core member has an absolutely safe and unexpected identity on the surface."

Looking at the Emperor Song who was lost in thought, Xing Xiyang stopped talking. All the information he said just now came from his master Zhang Wumeng. When he heard it, he was also shocked, because such a huge thing was hidden in the world. Surprised by the strength of the stock.He knew that there were still some secrets about Jishitang that his master hadn't told him, or that his master only knew one of them but not the other.

Just when Zhao Kuangyin's heart was shaken, his heart was heavy, and he was thinking hard about the way to deal with the successor hall.In Kaifeng City, in a small courtyard of Chunfeng Tower, a similar conversation was going on.

Li Mingxuan, the transshipment envoy of Qinfeng Road in the Song Dynasty.The day before yesterday, he just came to the capital to report on his work. Today, his colleagues and friends in the capital invited him to go to the Spring Breeze Tower to pick up the wind and wash away the dust.

There is a secret room in the courtyard of the Chunfeng Building used for banquets.At this time, Li Mingxuan was sitting on the main seat, and Li Siyan stood in front of him with a respectful expression.

In fact, Li Siyan was forced by Li Mingxuan to return to Kaifeng from Guanzhong Qinling.However, there was no need for Li Siyan to lead people to continue searching in Qinling.

Yu Daoxiang and her father disappeared. Many people were looking for them but none of them were found.However, there is one thing Li Mingxuan said to Li Siyan, the ancestor of the holy hall was seriously injured and was poisoned by a strange poison. No one knows whether he can survive.

"Uncle! Did you come to Kaifeng this time for the star jade pendant?" Li Siyan asked in a low voice as he poured tea for Li Mingxuan.Before Li Siyan had time to meet Ye Chen, Li Mingxuan came to her on his own initiative.

Li Mingxuan took a sip of tea, shook his head, and said with a smile: "That day, heroes from all walks of life in the star jade pendant can be tempted and dare to be tempted. Only our church can't be tempted except the Great Elder. Just because together with this Yupei and Ye Chen belonged to our ancestors. Although we don't know if our ancestors will survive this time, no one dares to take the risk. Although our ancestors were poisoned, they can be treated with Maitreya to teach Daming King During the fight, Lou Yanming insisted on killing two disciples who betrayed him, wounded Lou Yanming and escaped. He is indeed the ancestor of our church."

"What's more, among the nine elders of the holy hall, besides the great elder, the ancestor also has a disciple. Although the ninth elder doesn't take much care of things, in fact, the potential power in the holy hall is very important, and he is not afraid of the great elder. And the ninth elder The elders are different from the great elders and they will never betray their ancestors. Therefore, regardless of whether the ancestors’ ultimate goal is the same as that day’s Chen Jingyuan or not, it can be seen from our saint that at least the ancestors have the same attitude towards this star. The attitude of Yupei and Ye Chen is different from that of Chen Jingyuan. So, not only can we not make plans for Ye Chen and Tianxing Yupei, but you still have to follow the order given to you by the saint and do your best to help Ye Chen. This is also Gambling that the ancestor will still appear, it is also showing favor to the Ninth Elder."

"The uncle came to Kaifeng this time, is he really just here to report on his work?" Li Siyan obviously had expected what Li Mingxuan said, and was not surprised. What she was curious about was that this man could rank among the top three among the nine elders of the holy hall. My uncle, the real purpose of coming to Kaifeng on this special occasion of the turmoil.

Li Mingxuan pampered Li Siyan's head. Their Li family has been inferior to Li Siyan's generation. Sometimes he thought, if it wasn't for a niece like Li Siyan, when he died, the Li family might be destroyed by the other five. home annexation.

"It's a pity! As a daughter, I can't be the head of the family, nor can I become the elder of the church. The decline of my Li family is probably a foregone conclusion. Unless Siyan can find a man with sufficient ability to be my Li family's son-in-law. With the help of Siyan, I became the head of the family, so after my death, my Li family should be able to keep the position of elder in the holy hall." Li Mingxuan looked at Li Siyan, with a deep regret on his face, and murmured in his heart road.
