I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Arhan arrived outside Pingxi Palace and knocked on the door. He came by himself, neither Xu Yang nor Banda took them. After all, it was useless to bring these people to Du Qi’s house.

The name Alham reported this time is a Manichae, and nothing else.

Du Qi was a little surprised when he got the news.

The Manichaeans came on their own initiative.

In Persia, Manichaeism is the state religion. If Du Qi wants to attack Persia, Manichaeism is a hurdle that must be overcome. Now that a Manichaean man has arrived, Du Qi can take the opportunity to inquire about the news.

Du Qi arranged for someone to bring people in. Not long after, Alhan entered the study and saw Du Qi sitting in the main seat. Without the slightest arrogance, he bowed and said: “Alhan, see His Royal Highness King Pingxi.” Alhan has found out about Du Qi’s situation.

Leave aside, let’s just talk about what Du Qi has done recently, surrendering Luo Yansheng into the lord of Yiwu City, blackmailing Tibet to obtain benefits, especially the Western Regions of Yizhou, which is now managed by Du Qi as a monolith. .

The common people treat Du Qi as if they were gods.

To preach in Yizhou, it is impossible to bypass Du Qi. Facing such a person, Alhan did not dare to be disdainful or lax. Even though Du Qi was young, Alhan still did not dare to underestimate him.

Du Qi waved his hand and said: “Sit down.”

“Many thanks King Pingxi.”

Alhan respectfully thanked him.

Du Qi didn’t wait for Alhan to speak, and directly asked: “Your Excellency, what can you do?”

Alhan said: “Reporting back to Your Highness, I I hope to get permission from His Highness to preach in Yizhou. Let the people of Yizhou bathe in the glory of Mingzun.”

Du Qi’s eyes narrowed.

Preaching!

Alham’s Manichaeism, although it is the state religion of Persia, was actually banned repeatedly in the Central Plains, and it died out directly in later generations. Compared with other Buddhism, Taoism, etc., and even the West Bishop, Christianity, etc., the life force of Manichaeism is not strong.

Du Qi is not opposed to the so-called preaching, but the premise is to use it for him.

If you are not obedient, there is no need for existence.

This is fundamental.

Du Qi didn’t answer Alhan’s words, but changed the topic directly, saying: “Your Excellency Alhan is not a Chinese, nor is it the appearance of a Western Regions person. It is from Persia.”

“Yes!”

Alhan nodded and answered.

At this moment, he is quite anxious in his heart. He has already made a request, but Du Qi considers him and changed the subject, making Alhan a little anxious.

Fortunately, Alham was able to bear his mind and did not immediately ask.

Du Qi continued: “Your Excellency Alham is a Manichaean in Persia, this king would like to ask. What position does Your Excellency Alham hold in the Archbishop of Persian Mani?”

p>

Alhan heard Du Qi’s question and obviously wanted to inquire about him, but there was nothing to conceal about Alhan’s affairs, so after thinking about it for a moment, he opened the mouth and said: “Reporting back To King Pingxi, I was the bishop in the Persian Archbishop of Western Regions before.”

Du Qi smiled and said: “Persian bishop, this position is not low, second only to the Pope.”

“Yes!”

Alhan nodded and answered.

The Archbishop of Persia, the pope is at the top, the bishop is at the bottom, and the first class is Elder from Mani temples, and the believers at the bottom. Alhan can hold the position of bishop. capable.

If it wasn’t that Alham won fewer people, he was betrayed by his confidant, and the impossible competition would fail.

Du Qi leaned forward slightly, and a sharp expression flashed across his eyes, saying: “The bishop of the Persian Archbishop of Manichaeism is extremely powerful. Such an identity has gone to Western Regions, especially Western Regions Manichaeism is not well-known. Good point, why bother to come to Western Regions?”

Speaking of which, Du Qi suddenly scolded: “Alham, could it be you Wang Hao can’t deceive.”

With a stern sound, the majesty is full.

Even though Alhan was once a powerful person, facing Du Qi’s aura, especially Du Qi’s face and imposing manner, made Alhan’s heart tight.

In the next instant, Du Qi is about to kill him.

Alhan came to Pingxi Palace, it was a lamb in a tiger’s den. If Du Qi were to kill him, Alhan had no room to resist. Alham breathes deeply, suppressing the panic in his heart, but standing up.

Although he is very old and in good spirits, he stood still and said: “His Royal Highness Pingxi, I will never deceive you. Regarding my matter, please Pingxi Wang Rong.”

He decided to tell the truth about his situation.

Only in this way can we have a chance.

Du Qi is not a simple character. Through his identity, it can be determined that his purpose of coming to Western Regions is not simple. So Alham didn’t intend to deceive, he could only tell the truth, hoping to get Du Qi’s approval and support.

Du Qi indifferently said: “Let’s talk.”

Alhan relaxed a little and continued: “His Royal Highness, two years ago, the Pope of the Persian Archbishop of Western Regions passed away. The new pope needs to be re-selected. At that time, there were two candidates, one was me and the other was Natus in the bishop at the time.”

“I originally had a very high voice among the bishop. didn’t expect that Natus bought my people, and even instigated my confidant, so that in the pope’s competition, I finally lost.”

“Because of my being in the archbishop, it is also It is quite prestigious. If Natus killed me, it would definitely have an impact. So Natus used the widespread promotion of Manichaeism as an excuse to let me preach in Western Regions, spread the teachings of Manichaeism, and promote the deeds of Mingzun. “

“In fact, it was the exile that made me get out of the center of the Archbishop.”

“Since then, the Archbishop has been controlled by Natus.”

Speaking of this, Alhan said: “King Pingxi, what I said is true. If King Pingxi doesn’t believe it, he can arrange for someone to go to Persia to find out the news. Many people know this.”

After Du Qi listened, his heart became alive.

Alhan is a loser.

This is available.

After Du Qi had an idea in his mind, he opened the mouth and said: “Alhan, you are preaching in the Western Regions, what are you doing? Anyway, you have been expelled from the prefect. is it possible that, You want to preach in the Western Regions, make a career, and eventually return to the prefect.”

Alham smiled sadly and said: “Where is it possible to return to the prefect, Natus, this person, means Very powerful. I’ve been away for two years, and I’m afraid that today’s chief teacher is from Natus. Since I can’t go back, I want to do something by myself, at least let the chief teacher know, My Alham is not incompetent.”

Du Qi said: “You have been in Western Regions for two years. Could it be that in two years, you still did nothing.”

Alham said: “This is not true. I am in Gaochang and serve as the Imperial Teacher of Gaochang State. And I am Manichaeism, the state religion of Gaochang State, and I still have some influence.”

paused, Alhan continued: “I’m getting older. When I come to Western Regions, I just want to make a career. Let countless people believe in Manichaeism and let Natus know that even if I am exiled, I will do A career.”

“hahaha……”

When Du Qi heard this, he laughed.

Alhan said: “What is His Royal Highness King Pingxi laughing at? Is there anything funny in what I said?”
