Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and factional struggle is a situation that is unavoidable for any force.

From family inheritance, to governance, and even to rebellious thieves, it is difficult to avoid complete consistency of interests internally.

It is precisely because of the inconsistency of interests that factions are derived, and finally a state of fighting without breaking the balance is formed.

Miaoyu's words to Yang Yan were both a warning to him and a love for him.

Needless to say, the so-called love lies in the fact that Miaoyu does not think that Yang Yan's assassination can be successful, and the final result can only be said to be the loss of the lives of the core disciples.

After staying in the capital for so long, Miaoyushen understands better than others how tightly guarded the prince's first-class travel guards are, and it is almost impossible to kill him.

However, on Yang Yan's side, he only saw Miaoyu's warning, and the battle of wills made it difficult for him to think calmly and considerately, so he would not understand Miaoyu's good intentions.

Of course, even if he understood the second point, he would not agree with Miaoyu's point of view, and would only think that she was greedy for life and afraid of death, and she was afraid of sacrifice so she was unwilling to carry out the assassination.

The butt determines the head, unless Yang Yan is asked to move his buttocks, otherwise this is an unsolvable contradiction.

After all, Miaoyu is a saint, and she is one of the people with the best status in the White Lotus Sect at the moment, and Yang Yan is a little incense master who doesn't dare to be too offended.

So after Miaoyu's warning, he still agreed in his mouth.

But he was still very unconvinced, and then went directly to his superiors and his superiors to discuss strategies.

Yang Yan's dissatisfaction Miaoyu could feel it, and she was actually helpless about it.

The White Lotus doctrine is a whole, but it is only brought together by doctrine, so it is difficult to coerce other factions with benefits.

Yang Yan and his gang wanted to kill Zhu Jinghong and fight for the right to speak in the sect for their side, but it was actually difficult for Miaoyu to interfere in a timely and effective manner.

"Send someone to keep an eye on them and see what they do next!"

"Yes!"

After instructing this, Miaoyu summoned another subordinate, and she wanted to gather her own people to discuss the matter.

is not only Zhu Jinghong's life and death, but also to re-clarify the next road, so that everyone can try to act according to the plan.

"Holy Maiden, do you want to ask the master?" The maid asked.

"I'll go and invite it myself!" Miaoyu replied.

"Yes!"

Miaoyu here is carefully arranging, and in the Beiping Mansion City at the other end, Zhu Jinghong is guarding the military parade of thousands of households.

The content of the parade, in addition to the initial procession, and then the change of military formation and the use of ordnance.

"Not bad...... Very good......" Zhu Jinghong couldn't hold back his smile.

Standing beside him was Xia Yang, who still tried his best to remain calm when he heard the praise at this moment, and introduced his daily training in a calm tone.

It was at this time that Ning Wanfu, a Jinyi guard, entered the school and came to Zhu Jinghong's side after many checkpoints.

"Lord Wang, the identity of the thief has been clarified, it is the rebel of the White Lotus Sect!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong smiled, and the display on the school field was nearing the end at this time.

"Xia Qianhu, you do have a set of soldiers to lead the troops, just follow me these days and accompany me to the guards below!"

Such an opportunity was unavoidable for Xia Yang, so he heard him say: "The minister is willing to obey the prince!" ”

In fact, he wanted to say "follow" directly, but it seemed too snobbish, so he replaced it with the word "Hu Cong".

"Let the ministries bring it back to the barracks!"

"Yes!"

Xia Yang took the order and left, Zhu Jinghong's eyes swept to the high-ranking officials of the capital on the side, and said: "Beiping guards the palace of thousands of households, the army is strict and the morale is high, you should be rewarded......

"What the prince said is very true, when he goes back, the ministers will arrange, give wine and silver, and then reward the army!" Cai Chuansheng replied.

"Hmm!"

The arsenal and combat readiness, the Beiping Guarding Imperial Thousand Households gave a high-scoring answer, and Zhu Jinghong's task was completed today.

After glancing at Ning Wanfu on the side, Zhu Jinghong got up and left the schoolyard, and the latter immediately followed.

The commander of the capital made Cai Chuansheng and the others very knowledgeable, and although they followed, they distanced themselves, so that Zhu Jinghong could chat with Ning Wanfu alone.

"I haven't seen you find a traitor on weekdays, but as soon as I came, there was a thief from the White Lotus Sect, which is really a coincidence......"

These words are not very good, and they make Ning Wanfu very embarrassed at this time.

Of course, this old fox understood that Zhu Jinghong suspected that he wanted to close the case, so he gave the basin to the White Lotus Sect.

"These traitors don't measure their own strength, they always want to turn things upside down, the prince is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, they will naturally find ......"

Seeing that Ning Wanfu still insisted on being a member of the White Lotus Sect, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Since you are a member of the White Lotus Sect, then tell me how you found the clues!" ”

"Back to the prince, the minister first ordered someone to interrogate the soldiers who cleared the field, and they found out about the cellar the night before yesterday, but it was empty at that time, who knew that there were more artillery in the night!"

"Even if the patrol soldiers are in charge of thirty zhang alone, the interval between inspections is not more than one moment, the artillery is heavy and difficult to carry, and if you want to hide it, it must be done by nearby villagers!"

The soldiers who cleared the scene were the outermost security personnel, and there was no one along the official road, and it was not outrageous to be exploited.

Of course, as Zhu Jinghong approached, more sergeants would patrol back and forth to rule out any possible danger.

It is precisely because of the tighter security system that the Jinyi Guard discovered the crisis during his inspection, and then took down all the assassins.

Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was listening carefully, Ning Wanfu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he continued: "So the minister sent people to strictly investigate the nearby villages, and really let the minister search for clues to the traitor!" ”

"In Nahuaishu Village, there are a total of eighteen families who believe in the White Lotus Sect, and after interrogating these people...... And they were called. ”

"It turned out that five days ago, their incense master asked them to help and sent the artillery to their house, and each person gave ten taels of silver first......

Ning Wanfu continued to explain the details, but Zhu Jinghong was no longer in the mood to listen carefully.

He was basically convinced that this matter was done by the White Lotus Sect, which also made him feel a little more at ease.

It's good that the White Lotus Sect did it, if someone in Yanshan Dusi is stupid, then the next thing will be a big deal.

"Zhang Lin!" Zhu Jinghong raised his voice and shouted.

"The minister is here!"

Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "You go to Yanshan Qianhu to see if there is anything missing from what Ning Qianhu said!" ”

Zhang Lin can definitely be called Zhu Jinghong's hardcore, so the latter has great trust in him, and let him go to Jinyiwei at this time, naturally to ask him to find out the truth of what Ning Wanfu said.

Whether all the human witnesses, physical evidence, and testimony can refer to each other without disconnection can show whether Ning Wanfu is falsifying.

Zhang Lin knew this very well, so after receiving the task, he began to think about what to do next.

The so-called alone is difficult to support, his strength alone is limited, and after retreating, he found a few capable subordinates to go to Jinyiwei with him.

"Ning Qianhu, if you have nothing else to do, stay in Yanwang's Mansion tonight, stay in Yanwang's Mansion in the afternoon, and wait for Zhang Lin to come back!"

Zhu Jinghong's arrangement is to prevent Ning Wanfu from going back in tandem, and the latter is not panicking at all when he is open-minded at the moment.

"Command!"

Here Zhu Jinghong drove back to the Yanwang Mansion, and in the White Lotus Sect Incense Hall at the other end, Miaoyu had already summoned the left and right Dharma protectors and the three Heavenly Kings, as well as the five divine envoys.

This time, she was the Holy Maiden, and although the high-ranking officials of the White Lotus Sect wanted to come as much as possible, there was still a Heavenly King and three divine envoys who had not arrived.

This is normal in the history of the White Lotus Sect, and it is precisely because they are not united most of the time that they are not afraid of encirclement and suppression.

"Lord Yang Xiang wanted to assassinate him, but the Xiangwang honor guard was twenty or thirty miles away, and their party was taken ......"

"Not counting the loss of more than a dozen good hands in vain, with the help of artillery clues, how many of our people will be detected? How many good hands will be lost? ”

"Even if the loss of manpower is not counted, if they rashly make a move and affect our plans in the capital, who can be held responsible?"

Regarding the matter of supporting Zhu Jingyuan's ascension, very few people in the high-level of the White Lotus Sect knew about it, and only Miaoyu knew about the specific plan.

So when she said that it might affect the plan, everyone didn't know how to question it.

"So, seniors, no matter what the past grievances were, please be patient and restrain your subordinates not to act rashly!"

"The great cause of the Divine Religion has now been implemented layer by layer, and when the crown prince succeeds to the throne, as long as the Divine Religion is properly managed, it is not impossible for the Divine Religion to be established as the state religion!"

If there is no interest to consolidate the alliance, then create interests to consolidate, so Miaoyu drew the pie of "state religion".

Although it was a bit blunt, it was also a little useful, at least everyone present had some kind of idea.

It's a pity that the sect leader was not invited today, which made Miaoyu very disappointed.

The sect leader is a banner, as long as he does not fully support Miaoyu, those who oppose Miaoyu will naturally gather over, but it can enhance the sect leader's own right to speak.

Everyone made a guarantee, and then today's deliberations were over, and Miaoyu specially left the North King behind and explained the stakes to him again.

This king of the north is in charge of the teaching affairs of several provinces in the north, and Yang Yan is his subordinate.

"What the Holy Maiden said is very true, and her subordinates will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

The statement made by the king of the north made Miaoyu's heart more and more stable.

Back at her lodgings, Miaoyu took off her veil and lay down on the bed after taking a long breath.

Although she is the holy daughter of the White Lotus Sect, although she controls the fate of hundreds of people, Miaoyu is still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl after all, and she will be tired and tired.

Closing her eyes, Miaoyu was already thinking about her return.

The inheritance of the Holy Maiden has ended, and in the past two days, the Heavenly King Divine Envoys have left Beiping one after another and returned to their own positions.

Miaoyu decided to go south and return to Beijing in three days, so she had to plan carefully for the next two days.

Just as she was thinking about these things, she only heard the maid outside come to pray: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, that Yang Yan kneels outside to plead guilty!" ”

"Please?"

"Yang Yan said that he acted recklessly and offended the saint, so he came to ask for sin!"

Miaoyu was quite happy to learn that Yang Yan was pleading, but as soon as she heard the other party's words, she knew that this guy was unconvinced.

"Then you go out and tell him, just say that everything is based on the great plan of the Divine Sect, and I have long abandoned my personal joys and angers, honor and disgrace, Yang Xiangzhu is a hero, and he has to give me a weak woman more belly!"

After listening to Miaoyu's words, the maid savored the true meaning and replied, "I'll go now!" ”

After a while, the maid who delivered the message returned to the house and said, "Your Highness, the Lord of Yang Xiang said that he has thanked him for his teaching......

"And then?" Miaoyu turned around, and she was chanting about it.

"And then he was gone!"

Miaoyu's face was difficult to look at again, and she secretly scolded that this guy was indeed not a thing, and she didn't even want to do face-saving work.

If they are not punished, they will really be easy to bully and be soft persimmons...... Miaoyu thought secretly.

"Go to the king of the north at once, and speak my word...... Yang Yan was disrespectful and acted wildly, removed him from the position of the master of incense, and was grounded for three months! ”

According to her original intention, it was actually more convenient to execute Yang Yan, but she also had to take into account the face of the Northern King, so in the end, she still left some leeway.

After smacking her tongue secretly, the maid replied, "Yes! ”

"Tell the North King, I'm waiting for his reply!"

"Yes!"

After the maid left, Miaoyu really sat in front of the mirror, closed her eyes and chanted and waited.

Half an hour passed, and when the sun was about to set, the messenger finally came back.

"Why did you go for so long?"

"The North King went home, so the time was delayed!"

This Northern King's surname is Chen, and his normal identity is a squire in Wanping County, and his external image is that he is greedy for money, and no one will associate him with the big leader of the White Lotus Sect.

Of course, only the sect leader and the holy woman knew about these news, and the four heavenly kings and the eight great divine envoys did not know the bottom of each other.

"What did he say?"

"The king of the north said that he agreed with the opinion of the holy maiden, and he would abolish Yang Yan's incense master, and then grounded him for half a year!"

Beiwang's attitude was in place, which made Miaoyu's mood feel a lot more relaxed.

"That's good!"

Then she continued to chant the sutras, and when night fell, she put away her schoolwork, and rested after dinner.

She rested peacefully, but in a house in a certain village in the east of Wanping County, Chen Fuli, the king of the north, was drinking in the room, and there was only a small servant beside him.

If Miaoyu was present, she would be very surprised to find that this little guy was the unruly Yang Yan.

But just this was not surprising enough, because the next moment Yang Yan spoke: "Dad...... I'm not convinced! ”

That's right, Yang Yan called Chen Fuli "Dad".

Putting down the wine glass, Chen Fuli looked left and right, and then scolded in a low voice: "How many times have I told you?" Don't call Daddy even if there's no one! ”

"Yes, sir!" Yang Yan replied helplessly.

The two of them are really father and son, and Chen Fuli is extremely ambitious, more than ten years ago, he was still a divine envoy and was planning the throne of the sect leader, and sent his seven-year-old son to the White Lotus Sect under the pseudonym Yang Yan.

Chen Fuli now knew that the throne of the sect leader was hopeless, so he carefully cultivated Yang Yan and tilted his resources, so that he quickly made a name for himself in the sect, and became the master of incense before he was twenty years old.

In Chen Fuli's recent plan, he wanted to push Yang Yan to the sect leader as a closed disciple, and the latter was also very powerful, so he always wanted to make meritorious contributions, so he planned to attack and kill Zhu Jinghong.

In other words, Zhu Jinghong's life is the step for him Yang Yan to become the heir of the sect leader.

But because of this, Yang Yan offended Miaoyu to death, and now he has lost the position of the master of incense.

"Let you settle down, you just don't listen, now it's okay, the position of the incense lord has been removed, now you are happy!" Chen Fuli's face turned pale.

Even if it was his own son, under the instructions of the holy woman, Chen Fuli did not dare to cover it openly, so at this moment he could only reprimand Yang Yan.

"Master, that woman can't cover the sky with one hand, and now the sect leader is the sky!"

Yang Yan sneered: "As long as the son has done something and is accepted as a disciple by the sect leader, he will not be afraid of her in the future!" ”

"You still want to kill Zhu Jinghong?" Chen Fuli was quite surprised.
