In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, in the brightest season of the year, Suning and Du Ruhui returned to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods who have been dormant for a winter continue to have a lot of strength and bad thoughts, ready to continue the unfinished business of the previous year in the new year and continue to develop the goals that should be completed in the next year, and carry out the cause of pit people and harm people to the end.

The merchants who went home to rest in winter restarted the transportation of goods for a year, and carts and bags of goods went in and out of Chang'an City, and the commercial attributes of Chang'an City increased greatly, and they could almost replace the political attributes in peacetime to occupy the first place, as for the military, there was no need to consider it when there was no war.

The matter of trade with Tubo has been decided, and as soon as Du Ruhui returns to Chang'an City, he will start to arrange these things, first of all, he will call the merchants who are blocking the gate of the Zongheng Division into the Zongheng Division, and painstakingly transfer what he has seen and heard in Tuyuhun to Tubo, and tell the customs and habits of eating living people in Tubo with oil and vinegar, which scared nine-tenths of the merchants stupidly at once, and retired with a pale face, for various reasons.

As for the remaining one-tenth of the merchants who were not deterred, Du Ruhui's target was Du Ruhui, although the main characters and forces in the merchant team sent to Tubo this time were all secret agents of the Zongheng Division, but there must always be some ordinary businessmen, with them in Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan, they would not be too suspicious, and the existence of these unaware folk businessmen could be a good cover for the work of the secret agents of the Zongheng Division.

Wealth is in danger, this is their only reason.

The capacity of the Tibetan merchant group is 200 merchants. There are thirty private merchants here who are more courageous, just right, do not occupy the main number, but it will not seem too few, and the composition of this business group is like this, and then Du Ruhui began to arrange for the secret agents of the Zongheng Division to start preparations, and selected one hundred and seventy excellent agents, he personally explained to them the importance and danger of this Rutubo, and directly compared Nalu Dongzan and Sima Yi, which shocked these agents.

Du Ruhui's reminders again and again made these agents feel deeply jealous. Firmly remembered Du Ruhui's qiē request. As well as the contact information, as well as the way to deal with it once it is discovered, in Tubo, Datang will set up an embassy, but because Tubo has not been weakened too hard by Datang. The strength is still strong. The number of troops stationed in the army is too large to attract the attention of the Tibetans. So there were only five hundred soldiers stationed.

Although these 500 soldiers were all strong warriors, and some of them were from His Majesty's personal soldiers, the Xuanjia Army, but if the number of the Tubo army was too large, it would be useless. Anyway, the advice that Du Ruhui gave them was that once it was exposed, they would immediately flee north and go north, as long as they entered the jurisdiction of Guzhou and Hunzhou, it would be safe, and Datang would station heavy troops in Guzhou and Hunzhou, and they could provide support at any time.

After understanding the particularity of the characters this time, Du Ruhui began to explain to them another particularity of this mission, that is, to respond to the five hundred Taoist priests and monks of the Tang Dynasty in the past, after they set off a religious controversy, they must seize the opportunity to secretly fan the flames, and they cannot come forward directly, but they can use money to buy some people to let them do it, fan the flames, and if there is a bloody conflict, it is the best.

The spies were shocked, Taoism and Buddhism are both religions of peace, where can bloodshed occur? Even in the Tang Dynasty, I have never heard of the bloodshed caused by the conflict between Taoism and Buddhism!

They didn't understand, so Du Ruhui explained it to them, and Li Erma didn't understand either, so Suning explained it to him, indeed, hearing Suning's idea of using religious means to deal with Tubo, Li Ermaxi didn't understand it, since there is a man-eating cult in Tubo, then just let it continue to develop, anyway, as long as you don't come to the Tang Dynasty, whatever he develops, it won't hurt the people of the Tang Dynasty, so I don't have to care about them.

But what is it to include Taoism and Buddhism? Taoism and Buddhism are both academic sects, what bloodshed can be caused by academic sects? It is very likely to trigger those cultists to attack the Daoist and senior monks of the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't that be a loss for the Tang Dynasty? Those veterans and monks are still quite famous, and they are very valuable, and their academic development is also very good.

"I don't understand this trick, Taoism and Buddhism no matter which faction advocates benevolence and righteousness, no faction shouts to kill each other all day long, if there is such a sect, I will not allow it first, in this case, the Tubo cult is so fierce, you put the monks and Taoist leaders in Tibet, wouldn't you want to kill those Taoist leaders and monks? They don't know how to fight and they don't kill!

However, your kid has always been bad, and he has always been fierce in dealing with foreign tribes, and he can't find a trace, but if you want to take 500 monks and old Taoists to die, I still can't agree, you tell me, what is the truth in this, and also, what do you use to ensure the safety of senior monks and Taoist leaders? If you can't, go the other way. Li Er's eyes narrowed, quite puzzled.

Suning had no choice but to patiently explain: "Your Majesty, since the minister has such a Jian, he will definitely think about how to protect these monks and Taoist chiefs, and the Zongheng Division will also send people to protect them secretly, but the minister wants to say that once it is time for them to spread the doctrine and recruit believers, they will naturally be protected by the believers, and there will be no danger to their lives, and the Tibetan people will also think that they are fighting against the cult and giving a helping hand, and the senior monks and Taoist leaders are safe." ”

Li Erqi frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's the truth you say, but how can you let Buddhism and Taoism cause chaos in Tibet?" Buddhism talks about tolerance, first of all, we must abstain from killing, Taoism does not advocate the doctrine of killing, they are all academic sects that lead people to goodness, can they fight the Tibetan cult? ”

Suning said: "Buddhism is true, but, Taoism, has His Majesty forgotten the Yellow Turban Sect in the late Han Dynasty? Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang and others are actually Taoist believers, and they don't instigate a large number of people to rebel? Then there is no killing in it? As long as a person believes in something, he will spare no effort to protect it, and it is very likely that Buddhists will stick to the bottom line in their hearts and not do anything. But the Taoists are not going to sit still.

The minister's idea is that the Tibetan people are fierce and killing is rife, and Buddhism's entry into missionary work can ease the murderous spirit of the Tibetan people and guide them to goodness, and increasing the number of Buddhist believers can indirectly reduce the fighting power of the Tibetan people, while Taoist believers are tougher, and once they encounter the threat to the lives of the cult, they will definitely not sit idly by. Therefore, Taoism is the main force against evil cults. Buddhism softened the Tibetan folk customs and acted as a centrist, while Taoism and cults fought against each other.

Du Xiang will install a large number of secret agents in the Tubo merchant group. Secretly combined with us and the inner correspondence placed in the Buddhist monks and Taoist believers. Wait for a while. After both Taoism and Buddhism have a large number of followers in Tibet, the cult will definitely take action, and at that time. The secret agents of the Zongheng Division will fan the flames in it, and even take the lead in causing large-scale chaos, and when the time comes, it will not be something that the Tubo people can control. ”

The more Li Er listened to it, the more amazed he became, his eyes slowly opened, and he said without worry: "In this way, can it really cause civil strife in Tibet?" ”

Of course, Suning knew what Li Er was worried about: "Why should you worry about the civil strife in Tubo affecting the Tang Dynasty? The reason why the Tibetan people are superstitious about cults is that the people's wisdom has not been opened, the traffic is blocked, and the people do not understand etiquette and shame, so it is easy to be bewitched by cults, and it is easier to accept more moderate Taoist teachings and Buddhist teachings.

When all the people are literate, read books, and understand the truth of being a man, they will naturally understand that the so-called religion is just a beautiful yearning, and the so-called sectarian gods are just a kind of yearning sustenance.

But now, His Majesty is widely benevolent, all the people are respected, the burden of the people is reduced, and the welfare of the people is sought for the people, and now the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the best in the world. ”

Li Erma, who said this, suddenly realized, and then smiled, stood up quite narcissistically and looked into the distance, put on a tall and tall appearance, and said: "I treat the people of the world with sincerity, and the people of the world will live up to me, you are right, I am a little overly worried, since this is the case, you are so sure, then, how to say that the monks and Taoists will enter the Tibetan mission?" And in what way should we open up the situation and gain a firm foothold? ”

Su Ning said: "Your Majesty, you are also familiar with the "Three Kingdoms" written by the minister, do you still remember how the minister told how the Yellow Turban Sect developed? How did Zhang Jiao and others recruit believers? ”

Li Erma was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The great epidemic at the end of the Han Dynasty, thousands of miles of white bones, the court has no way, and the people are dead, Zhang Jiao and others pretend to help the world and help the poor, just give water and food to help the poor people, take the opportunity to preach, and then quickly gain a foothold, expand the believers, and the thirty-six parties will be completed, Suning, what do you mean?" ”

Suning nodded and said: "Imitation of Zhang Jiao's example, Tubo is bitter and cold, and the grain output is extremely low, but the cult often uses a large amount of food to kill the ghosts, and sits back and watches the people starve to death, this kind of status quo is not uncommon, Lu Dongzan will not deceive us, so after the senior monks and Taoist leaders enter Tubo, they can start from here, and first regard themselves as the poor people who help the world, and the Tubo people are also people, so they will naturally be grateful for the grace of saving lives, and they will preach at this time, and the effect is the best."

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism doctrine has the world to help the poor a saying, Buddhism is to advocate the rumors of cutting meat to feed the eagle, for these practices, naturally will not resist, Buddhist monks help the world to help the poor, Taoist Taoist more with medical skills, can be used to medical skills, for the Tibetan people to treat diseases, in order to gain fame, just do this, within a few months, there will be a considerable number of believers.

The cult has been in Tibet for a long time, its foundation is stable, and it is supported by a large number of high-level people in Tibet, and it is difficult to fight against it by relying only on the followers of Buddhism and Taoism, and the cult will certainly attack Buddhism and Taoism. ”

Li Erqi nodded, then looked at Suning, and said with a smile: "If you were born in the troubled times of the former Sui Dynasty, I am afraid that the world will not be like this." ”

Suning did not evade, looked at Li Ermaxi and said: "So the minister was not born in the troubled era of the former Sui Dynasty, but was born in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Erqi laughed out loud, and then picked up the pen and wrote down an edict, threw it to Suning and said: "You just do it, I want to see how you are better off than dead!" Hahahaha! (To be continued......)
