"So they said that?"

The ancient temple was bathed in continuous rain, with the moss in the deep stone walls undulating and winding like wrinkles. The thick wooden sill in front of the hall was painted and faded, and they were still looking at the vermilion wooden doors in the other courtyard from afar.

Today, King Pingnan is wrapped in layers of blue satin embroidered dragon-patterned iron leaf armor, almost airtight, but the hands leaking outside are covered with dark spots. At first glance, he looks like an old man about to die. He is wearing a robe armor with a top and a bottom, with blue plain satin as the face, moon-white blue cloth as the inside, and thin silk cotton inside. He stares at the gloomy sky of Guangxiao Chan Temple with his hands behind his back, and slowly opens his mouth to break the silence.

Shang Kexi's adviser and the Minister of the Honglu Temple, Jin Guang, also dressed up with a helmet and armor when fighting today. It was not until Shang Kexi's voice completely dissipated that he spoke first among the cold-eyed generals.

"Reporting to the prince, this matter was heard by humble officials and there was no false statement. Those people in the world were originally suspicious of each other, but now they all agreed that it was the one who did it, and I am afraid there is another hidden truth..."

The counselor Jin Guang was originally named Hancai and his courtesy name was Gongxuan. He was appreciated by Shang Kexi in his early years because of his intelligence and talent. He has served in the tent for more than 20 years.

As Li Xinghe's most powerful competitor, he naturally knew that he could seize the opportunity to regain his position as the master. Therefore, he took the initiative to make suggestions and decided to follow the example of the Zhaiying Club, and lured those in the martial arts world who had been imprisoned in prison but were constrained for face to reveal the news and tell the real assassination mastermind.

"What a 'gent sword' Jiang Wen, who can actually be silent under my nose..."

Shang Kexi's expression was gloomy, and the wound under his ribs was still ached by the rain, and half of his body began to stiffen and stagnate. But he knew that he could not lie in bed, could not rest, or even told others that he had been in pain for three days. This Guangzhou Prefecture is a volcano, and the heavy rain could not extinguish the burning flames. The Pingnan Prefecture must transform into a central army. If he falls, the Pingnan Prefecture will soon fall into this dark Guixu.

"Send someone to catch him immediately. If there is any obstacle in this trip, you will be killed... Mr. Jin, I think I'll let the troops in the backyard take action."

Shang Kexi said in a low voice, turning to look at Jin Guang, "I support him like this, just killing him, just listening to his intentions. Now it's time to put some effort into it, right?"

Jin Guang quickly lowered his head and said yes. A personal guard general was immediately around him and walked towards a side hall in the Zen Temple villa, and soon disappeared into the rain.

Shang Kexi looked very scary like an octogenarian. At this time, he stopped talking, but his eyes were staring at the rain curtain. The branches and leaves withered in the wind for days were not as relaxed as those who had the advantage.

"Mr. Jin, Zen Master Tianran told me that when Yu of the Three Kingdoms lived in this temple, the garden had already planted the Hozi trees. In the first year of Emperor Wu of Liu Song, I asked Nabadra Tripitaka to stay in Xi of the temple, and I also saw them."

Shang Kexi talked with all the knowledge, but the light in his eyes became even darker. "Later, Master Bodhidharma had seen them, Master Huineng had seen them, famous Panyu scholars throughout the ages had seen them, and even the fake Emperor Shaowu had seen them. Until now, the trees are still like this, but the romantic figures are blown away by the rain and wind, and only these trees are still deeply planted here..."

Shang Kexi said something that looked like a sad and sad autumn, but he did not reveal a trace of human feelings, but his expression became more and more sharp.

"Everyone said that these are treasures from all ages, but who would have thought that they were actually produced in the South China Sea of ​​Tianzhu, which is thousands of miles away, and should not belong here at the very least?"

Jin Guang listened carefully word by word, and did not dare to miss a single trace. He knew this old prince very well and had been trying to speak for many years. If he treated his words regularly at this time, he would definitely miss the hidden true meaning.

Shang Kexi seemed to be talking about Hezishu, not about Hezishu. Just as Zen Master Tianran said about Prajna Paramita when he explained the Diamond Sutra, it was not Prajna Paramita, and all should have no dwelling on it and give birth to their minds.

It was in the sound of the Buddhist singing that Shang Kexi, who was originally only a rough understanding of literature, had learned a lot of Buddhist principles from Zen Master Tianran in the past ten years, and his words and actions were even more unfathomable. This made it more and more difficult for Jin Guang, a strategist in the military for many years, what Shang Kexi thought in his heart.

But in this matter, Jin Guang still knew what Zen Master Tianran meant.

The Hozishu in Guangxiao Temple has been able to turn against the guests for thousands of years, so the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, which came to Guangdong, naturally had the opportunity to remain calm. What the old prince still thought about day and night was nothing more than imitating the same as King Mu of the Ming Dynasty, who could inherit the title of the prince, so that the Shang family would be prosperous and prosperous for generations and hold military power.

For this reason, Zen Master Tianran expressed his willingness to persuade the officials, gentlemen and gentry in the city to use Buddhism to relieve the blood debts of the two kings entering Guangdong, laying a solid foundation for Shang Kexi Yongzhen. This is why Shang Kexi condescends and descends nobles for many years and burns incense and worships Buddha.

Without further ado, Shangkexiu's worship of the Buddha expresses an attitude, while Tianran Zen Master represents a vision. The inside story between the two is far less than the outside world's saying that it is difficult to sleep day and night, and the nefarious souls seeking life - so what about the wronged souls in the city, so what about the corpse and sea of ​​blood? When Shangkexiu's shiny butcher's knife was raised, did he ever fear the retribution? When he put down the butcher's knife in his hand, he had never expected to become a Buddha on his own?

On the day when Guangzhou City was broken ten years ago, Jin Guang saw Shang Kexi, whom he had never known before. He chose people and devoured them to kill and cleanse along the city. He was still not satisfied. He ordered that the blood should be splashed on the sky street and ants gathered to eat, and hungry birds pecked at the intestines to fly to the north of the city. Even Jin Guang wanted to protect the inner responders in the city that he had bought and persuaded Shang Kexi to stay and conquer the defeated soldiers, but they were almost killed by Shang Kexi himself with a knife...

Fortunately, Shang Kexi is more tolerant now. Even if Zen Master Tianran intends to cover up Nan Shaolin and cover up real assassin, Shang Kexi will not pursue it. After all, as long as Zen Master Tianran's golden body is still shining brightly, and Shang Kexi is determined to become a Buddha of all families, he must borrow his Buddha light.

But the golden light has never guessed it. It is obvious that the Gengyin incident has been so long, but the King of Pingnan in the past ten years is still so good at walking on thin ice...

"Report to the prince, the prince is asking for a meeting outside the temple."

The guards rushed to the rain, and there was an extremely obvious shoe print on their body.

Shang Kexi heard his subordinates' gaze stern, as if his emotions instantly changed from the worry he had just now to another negative emotion, but Shang Kexi still suppressed it with years of cunning, turned around and agreed to let his subordinates open the door and let others go.

The footsteps came quickly, and they returned like a rebound when they hit the wall, and then broke into a young man in a gorgeous costume.

Jin Guang had previously advocated the matter of replacing the prince, but he had long been hated by Shang Zhixin. The two were in the same state. Now that they saw Shang Zhixin's tall figure appear, Jin Guang immediately wanted to retreat into the wing room, but was stopped by Shang Kexi with his eyes. After all, the two met in a narrow road in extreme embarrassment.

"Hmph, get out of here."

Shang Zhixin was a little higher than him. He looked at the counselor who had proposed to abolish his position as prince with a bad expression, and spit out a few booes with unknown meanings from his mouth, looking as if he was rushing to a roadblock.

"Father, I heard that you set up a net of heaven and earth in Guangxiao Temple, and were waiting for the thieves to reveal their strength, so I specially brought people to help. Today I will definitely capture the bandits and present them under the military tent!"

Shang Zhixin said with a gaze, but Jin Guang quietly found that Shang Kexi's expression was becoming more and more serious, and the previously suppressed and gloomy feeling gradually changed. Finally, after enduring for a long time, he said in a vicious expression that was unusual and straightforward to the bone.

"fool."

Shang Zhixin suddenly became stunned when he looked proud, his face turned red in an instant, and then he turned pale again, his hands clenched his fists more and more, and the creaking sound of the joints could be heard from a distance.

"The father... the child doesn't understand..."

Shang Zhixin raised his head and looked at Shang Kexi. The father and son with similar facial features were facing each other from afar. However, the old man in robe and armor seemed to be burned by the smoke of gunpowders, while the young man looked like a shiny sword and gun that had just been forged.

"I said, you are a fool."

Shang Kexi's sentence was clear and silenced, as if he was afraid that the young man opposite would not be able to hear his abuse clearly.

Shang Zhixin's angry expression reached the extreme, but suddenly turned his head to look at the timid golden light on the side. He turned his anger to this strategist who was not in the way of dealing with him. He decided that this person was framed and provoked, and immediately pulled out his sword from his waist.

"There are many complaints, angering the chief general, not obeying the constraints, and it is even more difficult to control the teachings. This is called building an army, and those who violate the army will kill them. They will fight in anger, fight and kill people, and use axes and halberds to behead the market."

Shang Kexi slowly recited the military order. Looking at Shang Zhixin's angry behavior, he was as cold and ruthless as if he was looking at a dead person. This made Shang Zhixin suddenly calm down and decided to put down the knife in his hand honestly.

"...Let's spare your life!"

Shang Zhixin laughed in anger. He knew that Shang Kexi was not joking. The military orders of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion were strict and there were many rules. Only in this way could they kill and be invincible. He even knew that if he really killed someone today, Shang Kexi would not mind taking a ruthless move to correct the military discipline.

"Thank you... Thank you, Prince..."

Jin Guang, who had walked in front of the gate of hell, was sweating profusely, and he still felt cold and his hands and feet were numb. However, in the face of the great horror between life and death, he suddenly figured out why Shang Kexi had to stay today.

And this thought once again made him dizzy and almost fell!

The so-called grudges of abolishing the position of prince are just success, kings and defeats in fighting for power and profit. Shang Kexi had no need to stop Shang Zhixin from doing what he did. Anyway, people will die after all, and what is the need to stop him from doing anything wrong a hundred years later?

But there is only one situation, that is, Shang Kexi's decision to attack Shang Zhixin was decided!

At this time, I represent not only a strategist, but also a mountain that supports the prince in the Pingnan Palace! If you kill yourself, the mountain will always exist. Only by not killing yourself can this mountain be flattened!

"Crown Prince, Jin, a common man, will you kill and cut off in the future, but you must not let down the old prince's efforts..."

Jin Guang finally stopped retreating, but instead raised his head in Shang Zhixin's eyes. He had no time to wipe his forehead, so he hurriedly said. Since ancient times, there is no greater skill than Qiandi Conglong, but there is also a precedent for offering merit and reliance on it in the book. He only hopes that the prince of Pingnan, who is not stingy in front of him, will have a bright mind and not let this drama be ruined.

Shang Zhixin really wanted to scold him with an unkind look, but Shang Kexi glared back, and then he gradually became honest.

"I know you want to be the King of Pingnan, but do you really have this ability?"

Shang Kexi finally restrained his emotions. As his body sat down, the generals in the Buddhist temple were also shut away. At this time, only the portrait of a monk with shaved hair and black clothes was left on the altar. However, because no one worshiped him all year round, the curtain shrine had already become desolate and faded.

"Do you know who this person is?"

Shang Kexi pointed to the portrait behind him and said.

Shang Zhixin, who was full of anger, said disapprovingly: "It's just an old monk, what's there to guess?"

Shang Kexi's expression was not turbulent: "You are qualified to be complacent today, but you are just benefiting from the identity of the prince of Pingnan. And Zhu Youqi, the former King of Zhao of the Ming Dynasty, in the portrait, can you ask what is worse than you?"

Seeing Shang Zhixin's expression shocked, the adviser Jin Guang quickly explained that when Li Chengdong captured Guangzhou ten years ago, he immediately captured and killed Emperor Shaowu Zhu Yuyou who had just ascended the throne for 41 days in the city. There were also more than 20 vassal kings left in the Ming Dynasty who were unable to escape. All the few vassal kings left in the Ming Dynasty were killed, leaving only the King Zhao leading his troops outside.

In February of the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), Tong Yangjia, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Li Chengdong, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, sent people to recruit Zhu Youqi, the king of Zhao of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who was surrendered to Xingning. Zhu Youqi knew that he had no way to escape, so he had to shave his hair and put on a black hair to become a monk. In June, he entered Guangzhou to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and was imprisoned in the western Zen room of Guangxiao Temple.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! However, due to the special identity of King Zhu Youqi of Zhao, the former Ming ministers still fought to the death for the sake of justice, and bleeding countless times around Guangxiao Temple, such as Chen Zizhuang, a native of Panyu, Chen Shangyong, and his younger brother Chen Zisheng, donated all his wealth and recruited villagers to raise troops in Jiujiang, and worked with Chen Bangyan, Shunde and Zhang Jiayu from Dongguan.

They contacted Yang Keguan, the former commander of the Guangzhou Guard in Nanming in the city. Yang Jingye, in order to respond to the internal response, another thief of Huashan Mountain deceiving to surrender to the Qing army. He agreed to initiate internal and external affairs on July 7th and recapture Guangzhou.

However, unexpectedly, Tong Yangjia took down all Yang Keguan and Yang Jingye, and killed them all. He then took King Zhu Youqi to Yuan Miaoguan and ordered him to hang himself. Therefore, all the right and wrong were left. In the end, this portrait hidden deep in the western Zen room of Guangxiao Temple was hidden by Zen Master Tianran for secretly admiring by the old man Siming.

"I set up the tent in Guangxiao Temple to remind these people who are ulterior motives and do not test the sharpness of my sword. If you want to take the word "king", I will also remind you, so as not to think that you will become the King of Pingnan in the future, and that your life and wealth will be decided by you!"

Shang Kexi stood with a knife, and the light in the Zen room was dim. At this time, there was a little noise around the Zen room. Many generals of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion, who were eager to walk in and out, were shaking their helmets and tassels.

These figures are projected on the closed doors of the Zen room, creating an atmosphere of chaos, as if a war is imminent, so that even Shang Zhixin, who was in the room, could not help but sweat slightly and his breathing became rapid.

"Father, what happened outside?"

Shang Zhixin frowned because of the atmosphere, but the elderly King Pingnan sat firmly on Diaoyutai with a calm expression. The strategist Jin Guang also lowered his eyes and said nothing. He only felt that the scene in front of him was not different from the years of wars that had lasted for more than 20 years.

"I can't hold back this little thing."

Shang Kexi turned Cui Yu's ring on his hand, "It's just that some rats think that I don't know the war and want to come from a dead end. But they don't understand that the chaotic world today has been chaotic for decades, and it should be the world of our warriors."

Shang Kexi, who stood alone in the Zen Hall, pointed to the portrait of a monk with black clothes and shaved hair on the wall, "The nobles of heaven and nobles and the nobles of the family do not understand this to the end. They thought that by their slightest drive and just shouting the people's hearts, they could reverse the general trend of the world. In the end, they were just seeking death."

After saying that, Shang Kexi waved his sleeves, and the sound of the armor leaves breaking through the air was like an arrow shooting, lifting up the rolling dust in the house and was unclear in the darkness, but it was more like a giant beast lingering in the dome. The cracks in the claws and scales were covered with smoke and blood, leaving only a mess behind him.

Shang Zhixin narrowed his eyes to Chen Tu, and had to cover his mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice, "What the father said is... the child has been taught..."

The excited Shang Kexi looked painful and scolded in a hoarse voice: "Do you understand?! The Qin King, Chu King, Shu King, and Fu King of the Ming Dynasty did not understand, so they were killed by corpses in the wilderness without complete corpses. Later, the Zhou King, Tang King, Gui King, and Lu King understood, but weren't they still teased by a group of martial artists?"

"You said today that you understand, then I can wait to collect your body tomorrow!"

Jin Guang's heart skipped a beat, for fear that Shang Kexi would be angry, so he said the words such as "the emperor's soldiers and strong horses do it."

The King of Qin, Chu, Shu, and Fu, who were mentioned by King Pingnan, were all particularly foolish among the vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty. They were already in danger of life and were unwilling to pay money to defend the country. They died more than the other one. The King of Fu, who was more than 300 pounds, was thrown into the pot by Li Zicheng and cooked it into a "Fu Lu Banquet" with the sika deer, and was eaten by others.

The other Kings of Zhou, King Tang, King Gui, and King Lu, except for spending all their money to defend Kaifeng, they were still unlucky King of Zhou, who failed to achieve success. The rest of them have established small courts under the support of military generals, and have been given the titles of "Longwu", "Shaowu", "Yongli", and "King of Lu to supervise the country".

But what Shang Kexi said is quite naked is that these so-called emperors are just tools of military generals. No matter how wise and wise the warlords are, they cannot escape the control of Zuo Liangyu, Zheng Zhilong, Sun Kewang and other warlords. Even though there are a few civil officials like Huang Daozhou and Zhang Huangyan who try to defend the emperor, they still cannot avoid the fate of being doomed.

In this world, there is no chance of winning between civil and military affairs. Therefore, with the wisdom of Huang Daozhou, he could only take the shoulder pole army out of Xianxia Pass to fight against the Qing Dynasty. With Zhang Huangyan's talent, he could only run around alone to call, and he had no choice but to sit and watch the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty erode the last inch of the world.

There may be a warrior like Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo in the world, but these people are also full of factions, and they do not give in to each other, and they are not ruthless in attacking each other, and they will eventually be destined to be difficult to become a climate.

Jin Guang looked at the still ignorant prince Shang Zhixin and suddenly felt a sigh of regret. If he was placed in Shang Zhixin's position, he would undoubtedly listen to the lesson sincerely and cry out in his heart! Because this is not only the gossip that Shang Kexi himself said, but also what the head of the Shang family must know about the Pingnan King of the Qing Dynasty!

In desperation, Jin Guang looked at Shang Zhixin and hurriedly tried to persuade Shang Zhixin to kneel down and listen to the lecture, but he didn't know how to explain it when he was close to him.

Tell him that Shang Kexi is teaching the motto of establishing one's life? Shang Zhixin would say that he could open a hard bow with eight stones, dance a long spear and a big spear, and fame and wealth can be obtained immediately. Tell him that Shang Kexi was intending to pass it on to him as a vassal king? Shang Zhixin would only say that this King of Pingnan was originally his own thing, and it was not your turn as a slave to speak!
