Violators of the Doomsday Game.

Chapter 567 Don't even dare to paint a big picture for me
Wen Zhixing's defection to Xiliang caused a great shock in Beihan, but people who knew him were not too surprised and just thought it was natural.

The main reason is that the contrast between the past and the present is too great. Before, Wen Zhixing was an absolute hardliner, but now he has lowered the policy without hesitation.

Then, he actually led an army of 100,000 and turned around to threaten Beihan.

The opponent even used Beihan Wudao, forcing him to do so.

All this is for the people.

At the beginning, some people did curse.

But soon a trend of public opinion began to guide the trend.

When the people think about it, it seems that since they became citizens of Beihan Kingdom from the Yulong Dynasty, their lives have become worse day by day.

By now, he was almost unable to survive, and then he ignored Wen Zhixing, especially since Wen Zhixing came with food.

Even if it's not much, there is more or less.

Then, without any bloodshed, the Northern Handan Kingdom was incorporated into the territory of Xiliang.

The whole process is not slow, the main feature is to use both a big stick and a sweet date together.

If it were possible to use force directly, Wen Zhixing would be more efficient.

However, he did not completely incorporate the Northern Handan Kingdom, but was very cunning and kept the capital.

Today, the disciples of the Confucian orthodoxy are making various preparations for offering sacrifices to heaven in the capital.

If it is really completely occupied, it will belong to Xiliang Kingdom, and Xiliang Kingdom will then be responsible for it.

Even if it exists in name only, there is still a status. If it doesn't even have a status, Qi Suian will be the one who suffers.

The disciples of the Confucian orthodoxy were quite tough. Even in such a situation, they did not shamelessly choose to surrender. Instead, they held on to their last breath and continued to build the altar.

Unfortunately, because the huge Beihan Kingdom only had one capital left, both human and material resources were greatly reduced.

This forced them to rob Peter to pay Paul.

If you want to build an altar, you will definitely need various resources.

Now that everything outside the capital is blocked, where can they find any resources?
So the best way is to demolish the Beihan Palace.

He also forced the people in the capital not to leave and forced them to work for him.

After all, there are few people, and in order to fulfill the will of the master of the orthodox tradition, the disciples of the Confucian orthodox tradition can only do this.

Otherwise what else can be done.

Then, Wen Zhixing took advantage of the situation and headed for Dongyin Kingdom.

The old method is used, that is, coercion and inducement.

It is indeed much more difficult than conquering the Northern Handan Kingdom, after all, no military force can be used.

Wen Zhixing's reputation in Dongyin Country is not that great, so he can only rely on the general trend and public opinion tactics to push it forward little by little.

Although the efficiency is low, there is still progress.

These two events naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the Confucian and Taoist traditions, and they protested against Qi Sui'an.

Unfortunately, they were preoccupied with the matters concerning the Heavenly Sacrifice and had no time to discuss these matters with Qi Sui'an.

However, there are similar objections from the Buddhist orthodoxy. After all, Qi Suian said that he would not take action, but he ended up playing this kind of word game.

The three religious traditions offering sacrifices to heaven was a very important matter in their eyes, but Qi Sui'an treated it as a joke.

Therefore, even the Buddhist orthodoxy was vaguely dissatisfied, but because the Xiliang Kingdom's sacrificial ceremony still needed Qi Suian's support, even though they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say much.

"Your Majesty, this is quite inappropriate."

"Although Wen Zhixing did not kill anyone, he was still conquering cities. It's unclear why." When Pu Ji saw Qi Suian coming to inspect the altar, he took the opportunity to remind him.

Pu Ji didn't think Qi Sui'an was hypocritical, but he was worried that it would affect the sacrifice to heaven.

Matters concerning the orthodox doctrine are what he cares about.

Ever since Wen Zhi's actions, the followers of the Buddhist tradition have gradually been separated from Qi Suian's core circle.

Even the guards were replaced.

Under the pretext of making the Buddhist tradition more pure, they were then assigned to build the altar.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was Qi Suian who was redistributing power.

As a result, Pu Ji was unable to see Qi Sui'an several times. It was not until this time when Qi Sui'an came to inspect the altar that he had the opportunity to talk to Qi Sui'an.

In his opinion, he had a lot of friendship with them anyway, so they should be more receptive to his advice.

"Puji, I understand what you said." Qi Sui'an said earnestly, "But this is not something you should consider."

"The preparation for the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is your most important task right now."

"Don't worry about the rest, I'll take care of it."

Qi Sui'an comforted the other party in return, which made Pu Ji not know what to say for a moment.

"Besides, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is just around the corner. It is futile for you to think about these things now." Qi Sui'an's eyes fell on the altar not far away.

It was luxurious and extravagant, even better than the Xiliang Palace where Qi Suian lived.

The amount of resources invested is unimaginable.

After all, the Buddhist tradition is different from Confucianism and Taoism. They have the support of the Western Liang Kingdom, so naturally they can be as extravagant as possible.

In order to bring honor to their own Taoist school, they did not take the finances of Xiliang Kingdom into consideration at all. They just wanted quality, quantity and price.

The most important thing is the word "rich". If they don't spend money and effort, then it doesn't matter.

As for the possibility of causing dissatisfaction between Xiliang State and Qi Sui'an? We will talk about this after the sacrifice to heaven.

Now, they are completely focused on the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, thinking about how their own Buddha can surpass the saints and immortals.

I never thought about anything else.

"Okay, Your Majesty, please don't let Wen Zhi start a war." Comforted by Qi Sui'an, Pu Ji felt that there was no need for him to be the bad guy.

Even if something goes wrong afterwards, Qi Sui'an will be responsible.

For their Buddhist tradition, the impact is not that great.

Perhaps if they had a new King of Xiliang, their Buddhist tradition could return to the core circle.

Puji was fully focused on the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, but that didn't mean he couldn't see that he and others were now on the political margins.

Otherwise, they won’t be allowed to carry out the task of protecting Qi Sui’an next year?

He actually had some guesses that the reason for this situation was simply because they spent too much money on their sacrificial ceremony.

"I know, how many days will it take to complete this altar?" Qi Sui'an continued to ask.

He couldn't wait any longer.

When the ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven began, it was the time when he, the survivor, incarnated into the master of Taoism at the seventh level.

According to the scheduled time, it will be officially held in seven days, but the altar will still take some time.

"It's almost done. It will be done in three days at most." Puji was very satisfied with Qi Sui'an's attitude: "You will need to come and preside over it personally by then."

"I'll host it?" Qi Sui'an narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, I'll listen to you."

He understood the other party's intention very well. He just wanted to show off the reputation and power of Buddhism through this method.

But this was exactly what Qi Sui'an wanted.

When it comes to becoming an emperor, you can't rely on others to do it, you have to do it yourself.

A smile broke out on Pu Ji's face. He had been worrying about how to convince Qi Sui'an, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

For example, Dongyin and Beihan are both presided over by the king himself.

But the situation in Xiliang Kingdom is completely different. Qi Suian is not a puppet, and Pu Ji has no way to force him.

If Qi Suian was not allowed to preside over the sacrifice to heaven, even though they could suppress Confucianism and Taoism in terms of altars and ceremonies, it would still not be perfect.

"When this merit is complete, I will ask a Bodhisattva to send the king to my Buddhist sect."

"With the power of Taoism, I will definitely help the King attain the fruit of Arhat!" Puji said hurriedly.

This means that things have been done and you will be the emperor forever.

However, this will also come at a price, and that is, both the Xiliang Kingdom and you will become part of the Buddhist tradition.

In this way, their Confucianism and Taoism will never be able to rise again, and their Buddhism will be able to turn the world into a Buddhist land.

This is not just killing two birds with one stone, but rather an attempt to seize the fruits of victory by usurping the magpie's nest.

I definitely wouldn't have had these thoughts in the past.

This is different now, mainly because they have felt how great the convenience is when power and supernatural powers are combined.

Just say a word and someone will get what they need.

"Okay." Qi Sui'an looked at Pu Ji deeply. The disciples of the Buddhist tradition are degenerating, and the speed is much faster than that of the Confucian and Taoist traditions.

Qi Sui'an had discovered the mental problems of the disciples of the three traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism a long time ago.

This kind of split existed during the dispute over the orthodox doctrine, but after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began, the split disappeared because they simply became a different group of people.

All the rules and regulations have long been forgotten.

Although he was not extremely greedy, he was quite different from before.

Qi Sui'an suspected that something had happened to the leaders of the three traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, otherwise there would be no need for any inexplicable ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky.

The reason may be due to the incident in the Fulong Dao dispute, so they had to offer sacrifices to the sky to maintain themselves.

Faced with Qi Sui'an's slightly cold attitude, Pu Ji was unsure why and just thought that Qi Sui'an was surprised.

After all, he also knew that Qi Sui'an had not even become a novice monk before, but now their Buddhist tradition was willing to fully support him in becoming an arhat.

"In fact, it would be better to become a Bodhisattva." Qi Sui'an added.

After hearing this, Puji finally felt relieved. It turned out that he was not satisfied.

"Your Majesty, you have great ambitions!" Pu Ji couldn't do it, so he could only praise him.

The Arhat's final fruition was not decided by him, he was just a middleman who passed the message.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Finish the work as soon as possible. We will be offering sacrifices to the gods in seven days."

"Don't ruin things at a critical moment." Qi Sui'an said, and turned around and left with his men.

Upon seeing this, Pu Ji escorted Qi Sui'an out of the altar area and then returned.

Looking at the luxurious altar, the excitement on his face became more and more intense.

"If this succeeds, I will definitely become an Arhat!" He has been unable to make a breakthrough, and it has almost become a knot in his heart.

He didn't expect that now he only needed to leverage his power to do his job well and success would come naturally. How could he not be happy?
