After all, Emperor Wu of Liang did even more absurd things.

He was very talented and strategist in the first half of his life, and worked hard to govern the second half of his life...

Obsessed with Buddhism and devoted his entire life to promoting Buddhism.

It can be said that in the process of Buddhist sinicization, without Xiao Yan, there would be no later Buddhism.

...

Outside the White Horse Temple.

When Xu Mu and Fang Xuanling walked out of the White Horse Temple, they saw a tall veteran wearing black armor waiting for them.

That's right, this person is Zhang Xutuo.

In order to ensure the smooth and successful power seizure, Xu Mu dropped Zhang Xutuo in advance.

Prevent mutiny.

After all, 150,000 soldiers... Once a mutiny is in full swing, it will be enough to turn Luoyang upside down!

"Lord, the last general has surrounded the entire White Horse Temple. What should the ministers in Luoyang do?" Zhang Xutuo was wearing armor and bowed with his fists.

According to his idea, these people should be killed to eliminate future troubles!

But Xu Mu waved his hand and said, "Take the military and political power of Luoyang as soon as possible. As for these people... If you are willing to devote yourself to practicing Buddhism, you can spare your life. If you are not willing to practice Buddhism..."

Speaking of this, Xu Mu stopped talking.

But both Fang Xuanling and Zhang Xutuo understood what he meant.

They nodded and bowed their heads and praised, "Lord is kind."

Xu Mu gave them a blank look and added: "In the future, Wanmin City conquered India... Well, when India is the time, let them go to India and promote our Middle-earth Buddhism."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuanling and Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but tremble.

In Wanmin City, they have seen the world map drawn by Cui Ji.

They knew very well that they were thousands of miles away...

There is a country called Tianzhu.

Buddhism spread to the Central Plains from there.

Now, after hundreds of years and after the sinicization, the ideas of Confucianism and Taoism have been integrated, which is already very different from those of Indian Buddhism.

Even in Buddhism, there is a saying that the Dharma is divided into three treasures.

Countless Buddhist disciples yearn for going to India to practice Mahayana Buddhism...

"Three Tsangs seek the scriptures, Jianzhen travels to the east..."

Xu Mu murmured two major events in the history of Buddhism after the Tang Dynasty, and his lips raised.

He will be amazing. At that time, he will put out the signboard of White Horse Temple, and have a wave of cultural counter-export, and build White Horse Temple into a Buddhist holy land.

Cultural soft power is reflected through these things.

Wherever the cavalry of the people went, they carried out military conquest.

In terms of culture, it depends on the current Luoyang ministers.

Of course, there may be some Chang'an ministers in the future...

...

On this day, the world shook again.

The news spread very quickly.

After all, Luoyang is the Eastern Capital, and countless people are waiting and watching.

Wang Shichong was ordained, became a monk and led his ministers to gain power. He soon learned about Xu Mu's companions.

Chang'an.

Li Yuan specially held an additional court meeting for this matter.

"Wang Shichong escaped into Buddhism, his Dharma name was Yuanji, and all his ministers were ordained as monks of the Ku generation. What do you think about this?" Li Yuan looked at the many ministers under his command, his expression was a little strange.

Obviously, he has not recovered since he heard this incredible news.

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ji took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "I think... Wang Shichong's sudden moves are frequent, and Luoyang will be in chaos at the moment. The 150,000-strong army has no leader. It is the time when our army invades a large-scale invasion."

As soon as he finished analyzing, Wei Zheng stood up and retorted: "Wang Shichong and his ministers were ordained, but Sun Ying has not yet been ordained. With this person here, how can Luoyang be in chaos?"

His tone and words were unceremonious.

Pei Ji was speechless.

As long as you hear the word Sun Ying, the ministers in Chang'an instantly lost their temper.

Li Yuan frowned when he heard this.

After hearing the news, he was ecstatic at first, but later he heard... Sun Ying had not been slandered and became worried in an instant.

When Wang Shichong was in power, Sun Ying was constrained by Wang Shichong and could not exert her full strength.

Now the pig teammates... take the initiative to play themselves.

It is a foregone conclusion that Sun Ying took over the military and political power in Luoyang.

After all, in Luoyang, no one is Sun Ying's opponent in terms of reputation.

Moreover, Li Xiaogong is now leading an army of 200,000 and is preparing to retake Shangzhou, but is in a stalemate.

After several days of continuous attack, it seemed as if it had encountered a wall of iron and iron, without any progress...

The ministers of Chang'an suddenly fell into the haze again.

Only Li Shimin, whose eyes flashed, said nothing at the court discussion.

After getting off the court, he hurriedly followed Li Yuan into his bedroom and offered a plan: "Father, Sun Ying is a talented person, and if you want to go to Henan in a short time, you must kill Sun Ying!"

As he said that, he told him about sending assassins to Luoyang...

After hearing this, Li Yuan looked at his son deeply and couldn't help but frown and said, "How likely is this to succeed?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "My son has raised a group of dead soldiers and is proficient in assassination techniques. As long as you don't alarm the snake, you will most likely succeed!"

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has not been able to defeat it...

Sending assassins to assassinate is normal.

Therefore, Li Yuan also defaulted on this operation.

Don’t you hear that the Qin army is coming to Yan State, and Prince Dan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin...

Haven't you heard that Wu Zixu recommended Zhuan Zhu, and Gongzi Guang presented the Yuyan sword at the banquet and killed King Liao of Wu...

Moreover, it was the Sui and Tang dynasties, which emphasized both civil and military affairs, advocated martial arts, and a gentleman was paired with a sword.

In the folk, the trend of advocating martial arts and being a hero is prevalent, and there are not too many dead men.

...

Hebei.

Jincheng Palace.

Dou Jiande was also shocked when he heard that Wang Shichong had given up his power in Luoyang.

Even late at night, he hurriedly ordered the nearby servant: "Go and ask the military advisor to come and discuss!"

Ling Qian had no choice but to arrive at Dou Jiande's bedroom at any time, rubbing his sleepy eyes and was forced to open business.

Then after reading the latest Luoyang information that Dou Jiande gave him, he was shocked.

Of course, his surprise was different from Dou Jiande.

"Master...it's too..." He was shocked.

He actually conquered the ministers of Luoyang in this incredible way and achieved a smooth handover of military and political power.

"What do you think about this matter, military advisor?" Seeing that Ling Qian did not say anything, Dou Jiande couldn't help asking.

After hearing this, he immediately became concerned.

After all, he dominated Hebei and now defeated the Turks. If he could annex Henan again, the situation would be able to sweep the world!

Ling Qian pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and sighed: "This matter is a great blessing, but... Sun Ying has not yet been ordained. Henan not only has no chance for our army, but it is even more impossible to invade it."

According to the lord's instructions, Ling Qian was also promoting Sun Ying.

Guide Dou Jiande to give up his plans for Henan.

It’s better to fight against the Turks honestly.

Sure enough, Sun Ying was famous. After hearing this, Dou Jiande sighed and said, "Li Shimin is right. If Sun Ying doesn't die, Henan will be in peace!"

After some emotion, he temporarily extinguished his intention to invade Henan.

Start asking about the next strategy for the Turks.
