Chapter 637: Jinling Rebellion (II)

In Jiming Temple, from the Buddhist hall to the pavilion to the meditation room, there are hundreds of large and small buildings.

However, if you want to say which building is the most eye-catching, it is naturally the silent tower located behind the temple.

This is a full thirteen-storey building, standing at the highest place in the entire Jinling City, standing on the top of the tower on the thirteenth floor, there is really an unobstructed view, the hand can pick the stars and the feeling of the ground.

Even if it is only located on the eighth floor in the middle of the tower, you can still see everything in Jinling City.

And today, on the eighth floor of the silent tower, there are more than a dozen monks in robes, who are carefully looking at the chaos below, and they all have a little sigh and excitement in their expressions.

Under their overlook, they could clearly see that there were fires rising in the east, west, north and south directions, and many people as thin as ants ran out of their homes, but they were immediately intercepted and killed by another handful of "ants".

At the same time, on the north and south sides near the city gates, there were also armies rushing towards the city. However, by this time the whole city had been plunged into a great commotion, and the main streets were almost blocked by panicked crowds, so that a large number of officers and soldiers could not enter the center at all, and only a small number of troops broke through the crowd and rushed to the armory, which had been highlighted earlier.

However, they also encountered obstacles there, although the monks on the tower could not see what kind of battle was taking place because of the distance, but only by seeing that the team did not move any further, it was clear that they were in great trouble in front of the armory.

"Amitabha, what a sin...... a monk from Suzhou couldn't help but chant the Buddha, but there was more surprise in his eyes, "I really can't imagine that your temple has so many supporters in Jinling City, willing to help you do such a great thing."

"Hehe, Senior Brother Keats, this is too much to look down on my Jiming Temple, if it was a month ago, maybe my temple still has such an appeal, but now...... It is no longer possible for the ordinary people of the city to act at our orders." The host of Jiming Temple, Hongbei, sighed lowly, and resentment flashed in his eyes.

Yes, who would have thought that the imperial court would use such despicable means to constantly pour dirty water on the Jiming Temple and the entire Buddhist gate?

Until now, the reputation of Jiming Temple has been discredited, and its reputation has been greatly damaged, and even if it wants to act, it can only rely on external forces.

However, there is one thing that he is grief-loving and the other monks in the temple have already seen clearly, that is, it is now the last moment of life and death in Jiming Temple.

Once this lawsuit really ends in a big defeat for their own family, the entire Buddhism's right to speak in Jinling will shrink sharply, and then the imperial court only needs to find a few more reasons to press some charges on their heads, which is really ruined and a dead end.

After figuring out this layer, they finally decided to take a desperate gamble, directly strike first, and recapture Jinling back into their own hands, and even directly control the court and the whole court.

Since you don't want us to have a good time, it's a big deal!

That's why there is today's huge changes and turmoil that began inside and outside the Tuiguan Yamen, and this great chaos is bound to sweep the entire Jinling and drag everyone into the water.

Another monk was even more surprised: "And who are these people who are arsoning all over the place?"

"Naturally, he has long had a deep hatred with this so-called court and the deceased monarch!" Hongbei said slowly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"Senior Brother refers to those fish who have slipped through the net of the nine wealthy families?" Monk Keats reacted quickly and quickly had his own conjectures.

Hongbei glanced at him and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the imperial court thought that it had uprooted the nine wealthy clans, but in fact, they were wrong, how could the nine wealthy clans with deep roots be wiped out by him so easily, who had been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years?"

"Although he used despicable means to destroy several families, and put all the important people of Gu Lu, Wu Qian, and each family under house arrest, it was only a temporary victory, and once there was an opportunity, the hidden power of these families would definitely seize power again.

"Now, the poor monks are just giving them this opportunity. In order to save their own family, in order to save the entire family, they will definitely do their best to do this.

And the soldiers and horses of the court are blocked by chaos at this time, and even this part of the city cannot be suppressed, you say, what should our Emperor His Majesty do?"

The monks were silent for a while, and then they all became happy, and it could be seen that this Jiming Temple really took a lot of thought to make arrangements. They have taken into account all aspects, and they have borrowed all kinds of forces that can borrow power, and now they are just waiting for it to be done.

And the facts below also confirm this conjecture, at this time Jinling is really in chaos everywhere, everywhere is on fire, too many innocent people are in dire straits and great danger, if the imperial court does not have a proper way to appease, that is, these suffering people, will spontaneously go into chaos.

This made many people focus on the Gu family's mansion, which is only one street away from the major yamen in Jinling, which is now the emperor's palace.

Because now in the entire Jinling City, there is still the last force in the hands of the imperial court that can be put into suppressing the riots everywhere, and it is the 1,200 Yulinwei who have been guarding the palace.

Compared with the officers and soldiers who have been stationed in the north and south camps, this Yulin Guard is not only more elite, but also has complete armor and weapons, and can quickly go to quell the chaos without going to any armory first.

It's just that in this way, the work of guarding the palace is ......

Hongbei's gaze had also completely fallen on the palace, and his heart was full of anticipation, and he whispered: "Now, you have no choice. Sun Ning, if you continue to wait and see, the chaos in Jinling will become more and more serious, and there will be tens of thousands of casualties and even the entire city will be destroyed!

"This is not what you want to see, if Jinling is lost, you will also be in danger, and it will spread to the whole of Jiangnan. The wealth and land you have worked so hard to win will be completely subverted and leave you, are you willing?" new

Of course not reconciled!

As if responding to Hongbei, flags were suddenly waving in the otherwise quiet palace, and immediately a neat and tidy army rushed out from the west and went straight to the Tuiguan Yamen in front.

Obviously, they know that this is where the fire of the chaos comes from, and if they want to quell the chaos, they must naturally extinguish this key fire first.

And after seeing this scene, the corners of Hongbei's mouth turned up, and he let out a long breath.

Everything has finally happened according to their plan, and now is the time to give them the most fatal blow.

With a wave of his hand, the order was heard, and a melodious bell rang from the bell tower in the temple and spread far away.
