Everyone was very surprised by all the Mu clan behind Zongzheng Temple. They didn't expect that the world-famous Zongzheng Temple was just a camouflage tool of the Mu clan.

Originally, it was said that it was to mediate the contradictions between the vassal kings of the world and maintain the rule of the Dayu Dynasty, but it was just a joke.

Among the crowd, Mu Qingliang was the most shocked and disappointed.

"Now I finally understand why His Majesty has to get rid of Zongzheng Temple soon." Mu Qingliang then said with a wry smile.

"Yes, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, an institution like Zongzheng Temple was originally a serious restriction on imperial power, how could the emperor tolerate the existence of such an organization!" After Guo Li understood the essence of Zongzheng Temple, he suddenly felt that it was understandable that Emperor Shengheng was bent on getting rid of Zongzheng Temple.

"Since no emperor can tolerate the existence of an organization like Zongzheng Temple, why didn't the previous Emperor Dayu send troops to wipe out Zongzheng Temple?" As the former Xianbei Khan, Hai Yin didn't quite understand why Emperor Shengheng had to get rid of Zongzheng Temple.

Because in their steppe tribe, as the Xianbei Khan, there is still a wolf court above him. As the actual controller of the clan, Hai Yin, although he was more or less dissatisfied with the Wolf Court, he never thought of destroying the Wolf Court.

And the Zongzheng Temple of the Dayu Dynasty is actually similar to the wolf court of their grassland tribe.

"This question is very simple, the previous Dayu Emperor did not destroy the Zongzheng Temple because they did not pose much of a threat to the imperial power, because the previous Dayu Emperor has always been firmly in control of power." Keiko said with a sneer.

"But is Your Majesty not the same as the one who controls the power of the Dayu Dynasty today? Zongzheng Temple didn't do anything drastic! As the son of the vassal king, Mu Qingliang still couldn't understand.

In his opinion, Zongzheng Temple has always been located in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have never done anything rebellious.

Such a temple did not pose any threat to the royal family.

"You're right, although Zongzheng Temple has indeed not done anything rebellious, but they have actually invisibly challenged the majesty of the royal family." Keiko is slowly speaking.

"Soshoji Temple challenged the majesty of the imperial family? How is this possible? Mu Qingliang looked at Jing Zizheng in surprise.

"Jing Gongzi, you're not talking nonsense, right? Why haven't we heard of the fact that Zongzheng Temple has challenged the majesty of the royal family? "Although Huang Budo used to be a big gang leader in Shouzhou City.

He doesn't seem to be concerned about the world, but in fact, because of his relationship with the old King Huainan, he has been secretly paying attention to the major movements of the Dayu Dynasty.

For this reason, he has never stopped collecting information from the imperial court and the feudal domains. However, he had never heard of any conflict between Zongzheng Temple and the Dayu court.

"Who told you there weren't?" Keiko said with a cold snort.

"When?" Mu Qingliang immediately asked, thinking that this matter was a secret that he did not know.

"Actually, all of you should have heard about it." Keiko cleared her throat and continued.

"We've heard of it?" Everyone began to frown and began to ponder. But no matter how they recalled, they didn't remember that Zongzheng Temple had ever provoked the imperial court.

And only a few people in the crowd, Mr. Shangyang and Haiyin, looked as usual.

"I think you may not care, in fact, this matter is that Emperor Shengheng wanted to hunt down and kill my senior brother Mu Junhe, and Zongzheng Temple came forward to save him." Jingzi saw that everyone couldn't figure out what this matter was, so he stopped selling Guan Zi and told the matter directly.

"Stop Emperor Shengheng from chasing and killing Mu Junhe?" Everyone at the scene frowned when they heard this. It's not that they don't know about it, on the contrary, basically everyone in the scene knows about it.

After all, most of the people at the scene had contact with Mu Junhe. They had also heard others talk about Mu Junhe being hunted down and killed by Nansi.

And the reason why they frowned was entirely because they didn't expect that such a trivial matter as Zongzheng Temple preventing Emperor Shengheng from chasing and killing Mu Junhe could be said by Jing Zizheng to be Zongzheng Temple's provocation to the imperial power.

"Jing Gongzi, are you a little alarmist?" Mu Qingliang looked at Jing Zizheng with suspicion at this time and said.

In his mind, it couldn't have been smaller. After all, Mu Junhe is a descendant of their surname Mu no matter what, and it is understandable that Zongzheng Temple, as the Mu family, came forward to save the descendants of the Mu family.

But now Jing Zizheng said that Zongzheng Temple's rescue of Mu Junhe was a provocation to the imperial power, which made him incomprehensible.

Even now he thinks that Keiko is making a big fuss at all.

"yes, that's a big deal!" Huang Budo was also very disdainful. However, Guo Li, who was beside him, frowned after listening to Jing Zizheng's words.

"Do you think that only sending troops to rebel can be regarded as a provocation to the imperial power?" Mr. Shangyang took over the conversation at this time and said.

"If it was just because of such a trivial matter, Emperor Shengheng decided that Zongzheng Temple was rebellious and provoked the imperial power, then his mind was too narrow-minded!" An Su said disdainfully.

And everyone else feels that way, too.

"Although Emperor Shengheng seems to be a little narrow-minded when he has such a view, as the saying goes, although the matter of saving Mu Junhe from Zongzheng Temple in Autumn is very small, it can be completely seen that Zongzheng Temple does not have much fear of imperial power." Mr. Shangyang shook his head and said.

"The reason why the previous emperors did not do anything to Zongzheng Temple, on the one hand, is because Zongzheng Temple was very honest in the past, and there was no transgressive action, and on the other hand, because the strength of the previous emperors was much greater than the strength of Zongzheng Temple. Therefore, even if Zongshoji Temple was ambitious, the previous emperors were confident that they could suppress them. ”

"Mr. Shangyang is right, the biggest reason why the current Emperor Shengheng is so anxious to eradicate Zongzheng Temple is that he has realized that the Dayu Dynasty is crumbling, and now the Dayu Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and there are grassland tribes eyeing the southeast, and there are grass armies ravaging the southeast, but these can only be regarded as scabies for Emperor Shengheng, and for him, the real confidant is the world's feudal clans and Zongzheng Temple." Keiko added.

"I understand, this Zongzheng Temple was originally formed by the clans of the world plus the Mu clan, and now if Emperor Shengheng gets rid of the Zongzheng Temple, it will definitely be able to deter the clans of the world." After Mu Qingliang's explanation by Mr. Shangyang and Jing Zizheng, he finally understood the mystery.

"Not only that, the reason why Emperor Shengheng ostensibly wants to borrow the hands of the grassland tribe to get rid of Zongzheng Temple this time is also to tie the world's vassals to his chariot against the grassland army." Mr. Shangyang said with a long sigh.

For a long time, the world has believed that Emperor Shengheng is a debaucherous and unscrupulous emperor. But few people know that the depth of Emperor Shengheng's mind is far from being comparable to ordinary people.

If the current Dayu Dynasty was in its heyday, perhaps Emperor Shengheng would become a heroic and strategic hero.

Because in the long run, it is actually a good thing for Emperor Shengheng to get rid of Zongzheng Temple and concentrate power. After all, in this way, the decrees of the imperial court can be thoroughly implemented, and the Dayu Dynasty will move firmly in one direction.

It's a pity that the current Dayu Dynasty is already dying after four consecutive generations of Emperor Shengcheng, Emperor Shengyin, Emperor Shengjing, and Emperor Shengshu.

Although there was a talented Emperor Shengwu in the back, he tried his best to govern the north and reject the grassland tribe to punish the traitors and eunuchs, and the Dayu Dynasty got a little respite under his governance.

But it's a pity that he died young, and he died after only five years in power. In this way, the original road to the prosperity of the Dayu Dynasty was completely strangled to death.

And when the throne passed to Emperor Shengheng, the Dayu Dynasty was already in decline. This had to make Mr. Shangyang sigh: Time is also fate! ”

"According to what you said, there is nothing wrong with what this Holy Heng Emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty has done?" Hai Yin, who had been listening carefully, said with a puzzled look on his face at this time.

"Haijun, if the Dayu Dynasty is at the peak of its national strength at this time, Emperor Shengheng makes such a decision, which will be beneficial to the country and harmless, but now the Dayu Dynasty is already crumbling, and he is still raising sword soldiers against Zongzheng Temple, which is self-defeating." Keiko saw that Hae-in couldn't understand it, so he explained to him.

"It's like if a person has a tumor on his body, he can cut it off with a knife when he is in good health, which is good for the body, but if the person is already terminally ill and you still have a knife on the tumor, then the patient must have died in advance." After hearing Jing Zizheng's analogy, Hai Yin immediately understood the truth.

"Just now Mr. Shangyang said that Emperor Shengheng wanted to use the hands of the grassland tribe to tie all the vassals in the world to his chariot against the grassland army, didn't all the vassals in the world know that Emperor Shengheng was behind this matter?" Qi Ning couldn't figure this out at this time.

In her opinion, there are no fools in the world's vassals, and it is impossible for them not to know that the destruction of Zongzheng Temple was planned by Emperor Shengheng behind him.

Therefore, according to his thoughts, when Zongzheng Temple is destroyed, the feudal domains of the world are likely to directly rebel.

"Yes! If Zongzheng Temple was really destroyed this time, shouldn't the feudal domains of the world overthrow Emperor Shengheng in the name of avenging Zongzheng Temple? Qi Chao also asked.

"It's impossible!" Mr. Shangyang said with a wry smile.

"Why is that?" The Qi family sister and brother asked puzzled.

"It's very simple, because even if Zongzheng Temple is destroyed, all the feudal clans in the world know that this matter is behind Emperor Shengheng's ghost, and it is impossible for them to directly raise an army to rebel." Mr. Shangyang said categorically.

"Actually, the reason is very simple, because there is no evidence from the vassals of the world, and there can be no evidence."

"No evidence? It's not simple, don't you have evidence to catch one or two of the shadows planted by Emperor Shengheng in Jinling City? An Su said with a disdainful expression.

In his opinion, Jinling City at this time was full of shadows planted by Emperor Shengheng. As long as you catch one or two high-level people in the shadows, this can be used as evidence.

"Humph! Do you really think it's that simple? Guo Li pinched a long beard on his chin and said disdainfully.

"How can it be considered evidence if the stolen goods are obtained?" An Su stared at Guo Li dissatisfiedly and said.

"Mr. An Jun Shangyang is right, there can be no evidence in this matter, and there can be no evidence." Keiko was holding An Su, who was dissatisfied, and said.

"Jing Gongzi, why is this?" Mu Qingliang also asked with a puzzled expression.

"The reason is very simple, because the vassals of the world do not allow such evidence to exist." Keiko is saying an answer that everyone can't understand even more.

"What's the point?" Qi Chao felt that his brain was completely in chaos at this time.

"That's right! Why didn't the vassal clans, who were the victims, admit it themselves, when they already had evidence? Huang Budo also felt like Qi Chao at this time, feeling that his brain was a little messy.

"This is the genius of Emperor Shengheng." Although Jing Zizheng didn't like Emperor Shengheng from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that Emperor Shengheng's control of people's hearts and analysis of the situation had reached the pinnacle.

"Think about it, all of you, if you didn't know in advance that Emperor Shengheng was planning to do this, how would you think of this war?" Keiko saw that everyone was still puzzled, so he threw out a question.

"If you don't know that this matter was planned by Emperor Shengheng, this battle in Jinling City is an invasion of the grassland army against Jinling City." After everyone thought for a moment, Yang Ping suddenly spoke.

As a businessman, he is always able to analyze problems from a relatively rational point of view.

"That's right, if you put aside Emperor Shengheng, this battle in Jinling City is an invasion of Jinling City by the grassland army." Keiko nodded and continued.

"Then let me ask you another question, how many people in this world, except for Zongzheng Temple and the feudal domains in the world, know that there is Emperor Shengheng behind this matter?"

"This ······" As soon as Jing Zizheng's question came out, everyone at the scene was stunned.

"Zizheng is right, maybe in our opinion, the war in Jinling City was caused by Emperor Shengheng borrowing the hand of the grassland army to get rid of the henchman Zongzheng Temple, but in the eyes of the people of the world, this war in Jinling City is clearly a shameful invasion war of the grassland army." Mr. Shangyang took a long breath and said slowly.

"Therefore, even if all the feudal clans in the world know that this matter is manipulated by Emperor Shengheng behind their backs, they do not dare to rebel directly, because they know that once they openly rebel against the literati of the world, the princes of the world will inevitably criticize them, and the people will inevitably be excited, and when the time comes, as long as the imperial court raises its arms, these rebellious vassal kings will inevitably be defeated." Mr. Shangyang's words made goosebumps all over everyone's bodies stand up in an instant.

They hadn't thought about it before, but now after Mr. Shangyang said this, everyone realized why he said that the feudal lords did not dare to admit that there was evidence.

Because the will of the people of the world is the evidence, and everything else is false. In the eyes of the people of Dayu, this time it was the grassland army attacking Jinling City.

If the vassals rebelled against the court afterwards, they would inevitably lose the hearts of the people. After all, in the eyes of the people, the vassals did not want to seek revenge on the real enemies, the grassland tribes, but wanted to rebel against the imperial court, which was simply disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust.

And once the vassal is found to be disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, the people and soldiers under his rule will definitely no longer work for him.

When the time comes, they will probably not even be able to get out of their own vassal kingdom, and they will be tied up by the angry people and sent to the imperial court.

"Is this the popular heart written in the book of your great sages?" Hae-yin sighed.
