- This fire-worshipping envoy wants to develop Zoroastrianism in Shanshan Kingdom!
The plowman was secretly surprised. The smile on his face remained, but there was a hint of reluctance in his eyebrows.
In recent years, Zoroastrianism has spread widely among the countries in the Western Regions. The number of believers is increasing day by day, and it is also expanding eastward very quickly.
??The plowers had heard of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Central Plains, which was a major riot caused by Taiping Dao's followers in the name of preaching. It was this riot that swept the Central Plains and became the trigger for the fall of the Han Dynasty.
As the saying goes, as a lesson from the past, as the king of Shanshan, Shuli is naturally afraid that if Zoroastrianism spreads widely in the country, once there are too many believers, it will pose a threat to his rule.
But the Shuli people didn¡¯t want to offend Zoroastrianism, and for a while, they didn¡¯t know how to refuse.
At this time, the fire-worshiping envoy said calmly: "The king does not have to rush to refuse. I think the king should really want to know how, as a Han, I became the fire-worshiping envoy of the Persian Zoroastrian Cult." ¡±
As soon as these words came out, the plowman's figure was shaken, and there was indeed great confusion in his brows.
He has seen Persians. Their race is completely different from that of the Han people. Moreover, except for a few businessmen, there are very few Han people in Persia, just like there are very few Persians in the Han area.
Zoroastrianism was originally a small sect in Persia. It was only during the civil strife in Persia a few years ago that it became the largest religion and was made the state religion by the Persian emperor.
For such a state religion, its fire worshipper is a Han Chinese, and its pope seems to be surnamed Sima. He also seems to be a Han Chinese.
With such a strange pattern, how could the plow-sweepers not be confused?
"To be honest, this king is indeed very curious about the identity of the envoy." The plowman nodded quickly.
The left envoy of Fire Worship then smiled and said: "Actually, my name is Sima Lang, and he was originally a member of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom in the Central Plains. The current Pope of the Zoroastrian Cult is the original emperor of the Jin Kingdom."
Hearing this, the plowman was shocked, as if he had heard something unprecedented. His face was full of surprise and disbelief.
"The Pope of Fire Worship is actually Sima Yi, the Emperor of Jin!" He was shocked. The plowman exclaimed.
The horrified expression on the plowman's face showed that he had never heard anything so unbelievable in his life.
Although Shu Li was the king of the Western Regions, he was responsible for the drastic changes that took place in the Central Plains. Through the mouths of those businessmen. More or less I have heard of it.
Of course, those who work on the plow have also heard that Sima Yi of the Han Dynasty took over Bingzhou and proclaimed himself emperor, but was killed by the Emperor of Chu Yan Liang and fled. There were even rumors that a few years ago, this Sima Yi led a group of soldiers to flee. On the way, we also passed Xiyu North Road.
The plowman would never think of it. The exiled emperor of the Jin Kingdom miraculously became the Persian state religion. The Pope of Zoroastrianism.
"How can my Majesty serve the Pope of Zoroastrianism? I cannot tell this envoy. However, our Sima family comes from the Central Plains. We have fought with the Chu Lord Yan Liang for many years and know Yan Liang's temperament best. Therefore, my envoy came to Shanshan. , not just to preach, but also to save you, the king," Sima Lang said with a solemn tone.
save me?
The plowman shivered all over, a chill ran across his back, and looked at Sima Lang with a horrified and confused expression.
Sima Lang said in a solemn tone: "That Yan Liang is different from the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He is cruel by nature and hates you and other barbarians. Over the years, this traitor has brought down the Southern Barbarians, Qiang people, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and Goguryeo." All the people have become his slaves, killing them step by step. Now, this person has pacified the Japanese island. Now looking around, you are the only countries in the Western Regions that still exist. Does the king think that Yan Liang will let you go? ?¡±
Sima Lang's words were like ice, which made the plowman tremble with fear. The last question made him tremble all over.
"Are you saying that Yan Liang will conquer the Western Regions and kill all the Western Regions people from more than thirty countries?" asked the plowman with a cold breath.
Sima Lang sneered and said nothing.
The plowman's heartbeat quickened, his expression became as pale as paper, panic surged like a tide, and he lost his sense of proportion.
As Sima Lang said, this Chu Jun Yan Liang is not like the previous Han emperors. What he wants is the nominal surrender of the countries in the Western Regions.
This Yan Liang is different. Not only does he want to actually rule the countries in the Western Regions, but he also wants to kill all the people in the Western Regions. This is simply cruel to the extreme.
"My Pope knows very well that Yan is cruel, so he ordered me to preach in the Western Regions. He wants to use Zoroastrianism as a link to unite the five major countries in the Western Regions and work together to resist Yan Liang's attack.Invade and protect millions of living beings in the Western Region from being killed by the butcher's knife of the Yan thieves. "Sima Lang finally revealed his purpose.
This is a grand strategy.
The countries in the Western Regions have been at war with each other for many years, and now they have formed a situation where the five major countries stand side by side. The leader of the Fire Worship Sect, Sima Yi, actually wants to unite the countries to form a unified external situation. This is unprecedented.
As the leader of a small country, the plowman could not even dream of such a grand undertaking.
In an instant, the plowman was shocked, his thoughts were racing, and he was weighing the stakes.
At this time, the guards outside the palace came to report that they were envoys from the Chu Kingdom, bringing the imperial edict from the King of Chu, and came to Loulan to announce the edict to the plowers.
When he heard that the Chu envoy was coming, the plowman was shocked. He could only ask Sima Lang to avoid it first, so that he could calm down and personally welcome the Chu envoy into the palace with grand etiquette.
After all the rituals were completed, the Chu envoy read out Yan Liang's decree to Shuli. Naturally, the content of the decree was that Yan Liang went to the court of Da Chu and personally accepted the grant from the emperor of Chu.
Hearing this decree, Shu Li was surprised again, but he did not say whether he would go to Da Chu to see him. He only accepted the imperial decree and sent the Chu envoy to the embassy to rest.
After seeing off the Chu envoy, the plowman held the decree in his hands, with fear and embarrassment on his face.
At this time, Sima Lang came in from outside the palace and sneered: "The thief Yan is very insidious. He wants to lure the king to Luoyang, use the king as a hostage, and annex the countries in the Western Regions without any effort. The king will not It¡¯s so easy to be fooled.¡±
The plowman was shaken, and his brows were deeply knotted. That expression obviously resonated with what Sima Lang said.
"My lord, now you finally believe what I say. Please think twice whether you agree to what I just mentioned." Sima Lang raised the idea of ??alliance again.
The plowman pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that Yan Liang would be so ambitious. Now even the countries in the Western Regions want to get involved. Okay, I will agree to the request of Master Zuo."
Those who cut plows are not stupid. If Yan Liang only asked him to submit in name only like the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he would not dare to go against Yan Liang even if he had 10,000 courage.
But now, Yan Liang has not only conquered them, but also wants to destroy all the nations in the Western Regions. This is to force them to death, and the plowers can no longer sit still and wait for death.
Zoroastrianism has the backing of the Western Persian Empire, and has united the two countries of Khotan and Shule. In this case, he, the leader of Shanshan, has no reason not to join this alliance.
"Well, the Lord is really a wise king." Sima Lang was overjoyed and praised him.
The plowman then said: "Master Zuo, don't be too happy. I just promised to support Zoroastrianism in preaching in our country. As for joining the alliance, I have to see what Chu will do next before making any decision." Intend."
The Shuli people were not willing to just rely on Sima Lang's words and boarded the "thief ship". Before the Chu State clearly understood its true intention to destroy the countries in the Western Regions, the Shuli people did not want to fall out with the Chu State.
Sima Lang wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw that the plow man was resolute, he couldn't push too hard, so he had no choice but to agree.
After several polite greetings, Sima Lang took his leave with the plowman's promise.
After leaving the palace, Sima Lang immediately summoned a confidant and whispered: "Go and report to the Pope quickly. The three countries in the southern route of the Western Region have been basically integrated by me. Please send people to the northern route of the Western Region as soon as possible to conquer the two major countries in the northern route as soon as possible." , also included in the Zoroastrian alliance."
The confidant agreed and immediately rode out, leaving Loulan City and looking west.
Sima Lang stood on the steps of the royal city, looking at the vast Puchang Sea in the east, with a sinister smile on his lips, and murmured: "Yan Liang, you forced us to leave our hometown and flee to a foreign land, but you never expected that , Our Sima family is protected by God, and we will have great adventures, hum, just wait, the day when our Sima family will make a comeback is not far away, hehe~~"
¡¡
Chang'an City, Imperial Palace.
In the imperial study room, Yan Liang was lying on the couch leisurely, listening to Ma Su's report.
"According to the secret report sent back by Jin Yiwei, in recent years, a sect called Zoroastrianism has flowed into the Western Regions from Persia. This sect has been recruiting believers in the Western Regions in the name of preaching. In less than a year, it has It expanded rapidly, and even the rulers of Khotan and Shule believed in Zoroastrianism."
Zoroastrianism!
Hearing these three strange yet familiar names, Yan Liang glanced slightly and remembered things in history.
He vaguely remembered that in the past history, the White Lotus Sect of the Song Dynasty seemed to have originated from this fire worship that was introduced to the Central Plains from Persia.teach.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming religion that the Red Scarf Army believed in seemed to have its origins in Zoroastrianism.
With the development of the Silk Road, there have been more and more exchanges between Persia and China. It is not unusual for the Persian sect to be introduced into China.
" However, this Zoroastrian Cult has only been introduced to the Western Region for a few years, and it has been able to expand so rapidly. Such a powerful reproduction rate has aroused Yan Liang's suspicion.
¡°What¡¯s so unique about this Zoroastrian religion?¡± Yan Liang asked.
Ma Su said: "The Zoroastrianism itself is nothing special. It just believes in some kind of fire god, just like the Taiping Dao, and often treats believers. However, there is something that I feel is particularly suspicious."
"Say." Yan Liang waved his hand.
"According to detailed reports from the authors, although Zoroastrianism was introduced from Persia, the priests who preached it all looked like Chinese people, not Persians."
??Chinese people?
Yan Liang¡¯s expression moved slightly, with great curiosity appearing in his eagle eyes, and even a hint of smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
