This Zoroastrian envoy wanted to develop Zoroastrianism in Shanshan!
The plowing plow was secretly surprised, with a smile on his face, but a little reluctant expression appeared in his eyebrows.
In recent years, Zoroastrianism has been widely spread among the countries in the Western Regions, with the increasing number of believers and expanding eastward very quickly.
The thrifter heard that there was a Yellow Turban riot in the Central Plains. It was a major riot that Taipingdao relied on missionary preaching and formed a congregation. It was this riot that swept the Central Plains that became the fuse for the annihilation of the Han Dynasty.
As the saying goes, as the king of Shanshan, the plowers were naturally afraid that if Zoroastrianism was widely spread in the country, once there were more believers, it would pose a threat to its rule.
However, the plowers were unwilling to offend Zoroastrianism, so for a moment, they didn't know how to refuse.
At this time, the left envoy of the Zoroastrian said lightly: "The king of the country does not need to refuse. I think the king of the country should be very interested in knowing how the envoy, as a Han Chinese, became the left envoy of the Persian Zoroastrianism.
.”
As soon as this statement came out, the person who was shivering in his body, and a great confusion indeed surged in his eyebrows.
He had seen Persians, whose race was completely different from that of Han people. Moreover, except for a few merchants, there were almost not many Han people in Persia, just like there were almost very few Persians in the Han area.
Zoroastrianism was originally a small Persian sect. It became the largest sect during the Persian civil strife several years ago and was named the state religion by the Persian emperor.
In such a state religion, the left envoy of the left envoy was a Han man, and the pope seemed to be Sima. It seemed to be a Han man.
Such a strange pattern, how can the plowers not be confused?
"To be honest, I am indeed very curious about the identity of the envoy." The plowing plow nodded quickly.
The left envoy of the Zoropause smiled and said, "In fact, the original envoy was named Sima Lang, who was originally the royal family of Jin State in the Central Plains. Now the Pope of Zoropause is the emperor of Jin State."
After hearing this, the plowing plow was shocked, as if he had heard something unprecedented. He was full of surprise and incredible.
"The Pope of Zoroastrian is Sima Yi, the Emperor of Jin!" In a horror, the plowing plow blurted out.
The extremely terrifying expression of Shuplier showed that he had never heard of such an incredible thing in his life.
Although the plowing plow was the king of the Western Regions, he had heard more or less about the drastic changes that occurred in the Central Plains through the mouths of those merchants.
Of course, Shulizhe also heard that Sima Yi from the Han Dynasty was called emperor according to Bingzhou, but was killed by Emperor Yan Liang of Chu and fled in panic. There were even rumors that a few years ago, Sima Yi led a team of troops to escape.
On the way, I also passed Xiyu North Road.
The ploughed person would never have thought that the exiled emperor of Jin State miraculously became the Pope of the Persian state religion and Zoroastrianism.
"I am sorry that my Majesty can not tell me about the Papacy of the Zoroastrian Pope. However, my Sima family is from the Central Plains and has been fighting with the Chu Jun Yan Liang for many years. I know the nature of Yan Liang best. Therefore, I came to Shanshan to come.
, It’s not just a missionary, but also a way to save you, the king.” Sima Lang said in a serious tone.
Save me?
The plowing plow trembled all over, a hint of chill flashed across his back, and looked at Sima Lang with a terrified and confused expression.
Sima Lang said in a solemn tone: "Yan Liang is different from the Han Dynasty emperor. This man is cruel and hates you, the Hu Yi, and over the years, this thief has dominated the Southern Barbarians, Qiang people, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and Goguryeo.
All of them became his slaves, killing them step by step. At present, this person has pacified the Japanese island again. Now, looking at the world, only you, the Western Regions, are still alive. The king thinks, Yan Liang will let you go
?”
Sima Lang's words were like ice, which made a plower scared and scared. The last question made him even more frightened.
"You mean, Yan Liang will conquer the Western Regions and kill all the people of our more than 30 countries in the Western Regions?" asked the plower in a cold air.
Sima Lang sneered without saying a word.
The plowing plow's heart beat faster, his expression turned pale as paper, and his fear was like a tide, and he was in a mess.
As Sima Lang said, the Chu king Yan Liang was not like the previous Han emperors. All they wanted was their nominal submission to the countries in the Western Regions.
Yan Liang is different. Not only do he actually rule the countries in the Western Regions, but he also wants to kill all the people in the Western Regions. This is simply extremely cruel.
"My Pope knows that Yan thief is cruel, so he ordered me to preach in the Western Regions. He wanted to worship Zoroastrianism as a link, unite the five major powers of the Western Regions, work together to resist Yan Liang's invasion, protect millions of creatures in the Western Regions, and avoid Yan thief's
Slaying with butcher knife." Sima Lang finally expressed his purpose.
This is a big strategy.
The countries in the Western Regions have been vying for many years, and now they have formed a situation where the five major countries are united. The Zoroastrian leader Sima Yi actually wanted to unite the countries and form a unified external situation. This is unprecedented.
As the lord of a small country, the shabby plower had such a grand achievement, which was something he dared not even dream of.
In an instant, the plowing plow was shocked, and his thoughts flew, weighing the interests.
At this moment, the guards outside the palace came to report that they were the envoy of the Great Chu State, who brought the imperial edict from the Lord of Chu to Loulan and wanted to announce the edict to the person who was sent to the plow.
When he heard the Chu envoy coming, the person who was shunted the plow was shocked and could only ask Sima Lang to avoid it first, so he calmed down and personally welcomed the Chu envoy into the palace with grand etiquette.
After all the various rituals and conducts, the Chu envoy read Yan Liang's will to the person who sent the plow, and the content of the will was naturally the person who sent the plow to the Great Chu court and personally accepted the entrustment of the Emperor of Great Chu.
Hearing this order, the plower was shocked again, but he did not say whether to go to the Great Chu to see him. He only received the imperial edict and sent the Chu envoy to the museum to rest.
After seeing off the Chu envoy, the plower held the will in his hand, with fear and embarrassment on his face.
At this time, Sima Lang turned into the hall and sneered: "Yan Zhe is so sinister. He wanted to lure the king to Luoyang, take the king as a hostage, and annex the countries in the Western Regions without any effort. The king will not
Just be fooled so easily.”
The person who was sparsely plowed and his eyebrows were deeply condensed into knots. His expression obviously resonated with what Sima Lang said.
"Lord, now you always believe what I said. Should you agree to what I mentioned just now? Please think twice." Sima Lang proposed the joint proposal again.
The piercer pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that Yan Liang had such a great ambitions. Now even the countries in the Western Regions want to get involved. Okay, I will agree to what the Lord Zuo asked for."
Those who are sparse plows are not stupid. If Yan Liang only asked him to surrender in name like the Han emperor, even if he had ten thousand courages, he would not dare to oppose Yan Liang.
But now, Yan Liang not only conquered them, but also destroyed the nations of the Western Regions. He wanted to force them to death. Those who were free from plows could not sit still and wait for death.
Zoroastrianism was backed by the Western Persian Empire and had united the two countries of Khotan and Shule. In this case, he, the Shanshan king, had no reason not to join this alliance.
"Okay, the king of the country is really a wise king." Sima Lang was overjoyed and praised.
The plougher said again: "Your Majesty the Left Envoy should not be too happy. I only promised to support Zoroastrianism in our country. As for joining the alliance, I have to see what Chu will do next and then do it.
Intend."
The ploughed person was unwilling to get on the "pirate ship" based on Sima Lang's words alone. Before Chu understood the true intention of destroying the Western Regions, the ploughed person did not want to turn against Chu.
Sima Lang wanted to wait for further advice, but when he saw that the plowing plow was firm, he was not too nervous to force him, so he had to agree.
After several polite remarks, Sima Lang said goodbye with the promise of the plower.
After leaving the palace, Sima Lang immediately summoned a confidant and whispered: "Go and report to the Pope, the Three Kingdoms on the South Road of the Western Regions have basically been integrated by me. Please send people to the North Road of the Western Regions and transfer the two major countries in the North Road as soon as possible.
, and was also included in the Zoroastrian alliance."
The confidant responded to the promise and immediately rode his horse out, left Loulan City, and looked west.
Sima Lang stood on the steps of the royal city, looking at the vast Pu Changhai in the east from afar, with a faint smile hooked on the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Yan Liang, you forced us to leave our hometown and escape to a foreign land, but I never expected it
, Our Sima family is protected by God, and there will be a great adventure. Humph, wait, our Sima family will make a comeback, hehe~~”
...
Chang'an City, the Imperial Palace.
In the imperial study room, Yan Liang was lying leisurely on the bed, listening to Ma Su's report.
"According to the secret report from the Jinyiwei, in recent years, a sect called Zoroastrianism has flowed into the Western Regions from Persia. In the name of missionary preaching, it recruited believers in the Western Regions. In less than a year,
With rapid expansion, even the kings of Khotan and Shule believed in this Zoroastrianism."
Zoroastrianism!
Hearing these three strange and familiar names, Yan Liang glanced at him slightly and remembered what happened in history.
He vaguely remembered that in history, the White Lotus Sect of the Song Dynasty seemed to originate from the Zoroastrianism that was introduced from Persia to the Central Plains.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the source of the Ming Cult, which the Red Turban Army believed in, seemed to be Zoroastrianism.
With the development of the Silk Road, Persia and Middle-earth exchanges became more and more common, and it was not unusual for this Persian sect to be introduced to Middle-earth.
However, the Zoroastrianism was only introduced to the Western Regions for a few years and it could expand so quickly. Such a powerful reproduction speed aroused Yan Liang's suspicion.
"What is unique about this Zoroastrianism?" Yan Liang asked.
Ma Su said: "The Zoroastrianism itself is nothing special. It just believes in the God of Fire. Just like the Taoist Tao, it often treats believers. However, there is one thing that I think is particularly suspicious."
"Say." Yan Liang waved his hand.
"According to the detailed report, although the Zoroastrianism came from Persia, the missionary priests were actually the Middle-earth people, not the Persians."
Middle-earth?
Yan Liang's expression moved slightly, and a great curiosity appeared in the eagle's eyes, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting, more and more interesting..." (To be continued...)
