My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 215 Chenghua Suspicion 1
Listening to the words of Yuantong who was pushing the cart in front of him and taunting him at the same time, the expression of the White Lotus Witch behind Yuantong did not change.

But the smile in the pair of peach blossom eyes exposed outside the veil became thicker.

Indeed, this time she came to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple on the order of the saint, and it was not as simple as she said, just to help Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple deal with the tail end of the disaster decades ago.

The state of the sleeping true Buddha in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, which has been carefully supported by monks for thousands of years since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, is what they are most concerned about now.

Although the White Lotus Sect was originally a branch of Buddhism and believed in the theory that Maitreya came to the world to save all people——

But since Han Lin'er, who fanatically believed in the reincarnation of Maitreya at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people of King Xiao Ming's faction suffered heavy casualties under the joint attacks of the Ming court and various forces, and most of their remaining troops were wiped out one by one by each faction.

Today's White Lotus Sect is almost occupied by these newly emerged believers who believe in "empty hometown, no biological parents" and no biological old mother.

Now within the White Lotus Sect, it is hard to say whether the catastrophe at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple 40 years ago is happening again, whether they are sincerely helping, or whether they are secretly plotting to take grain from the fire.

Although Tang Cai'er is now the altar guardian of the White Lotus Sect, she is also a direct descendant of Tang Sai'er, the White Lotus Sect's saint during the Yongle period.

But in fact, she has always had an attitude towards the internal struggle within the White Lotus Sect, with the attitude of just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, and even taking sides from time to time, just to have fun.

It's just that she hid it well from the outside world, and due to her close connection with the bloodline of contemporary saints, although the higher-ups in the church vaguely realized that she was not interested in the doctrine, they still believed that she was doing her best for the mission of the church. Loyalty can still be guaranteed.

"If you traitors hadn't been so ambitious and planned to assassinate the emperor in the palace, how could our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple be involved? We made one mistake, one step after another... We actually had to kill the official sent by the imperial court to Nanjing to investigate, and we were reduced to this The land where I live with you and other traitors——"

Yuantong sneered and said angrily while pushing the cart with difficulty.

"Now you are here again pretending to care about the common people in the world. If you really pity the common people in the world, why would you join forces with those traitors to repeatedly murder the Holy Emperor and sabotage the imperial court's plan to eliminate the barbarians?"

Hearing this, the enchantress from the White Lotus Sect fell silent.

At this time, Zhu Houcong, who was squatting in the bamboo forest, was also deep in thought.

40 years ago, Emperor Xianzong was assassinated in the palace...

Could it be the assassination that Xianzong suffered in the palace in the 12th year of Chenghua?
When Xianzong went to the morning court, he was assassinated at Fengtianmen. Fortunately, the soldiers around him sacrificed their lives to protect him, and he was fine——

The Ming court was also quite playful about the records of this assassination.

There is only one description left: "There is something in the west city of the capital. It hurts people when it comes out at night, and its color is black." There is nothing else.

So much so that there were once rumors in the capital that a cat demon was causing trouble, causing panic in the capital.

As for the outcome of the serious crime of assassinating the king, except for the main culprit Li Zilong who was Lingchi, most of the others committed suicide directly after being exposed.

In other words, he committed suicide.

You must know that in the Jinyiwei Prison, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, those behind the scenes can still kill people so neatly and silence them.

It can be seen how powerful the forces trying to kill Ming Xianzong are.

Zhu Houcong remembered that when he first came to the throne, he couldn't wait to read the internal materials of the Ming court and the emperor's records, and he still had some vague memories of this.

The materials left by the Ming Dynasty's previous dynasties had obviously been deleted a lot, so that many things Zhu Houcong could only see in the fog, and he didn't understand why——

At this time, Zhu Houcong thought of Yang Tinghe who was thrown back to his hometown.

Since Yongle, the emperor's records have generally been compiled and revised by the chief minister, and there is a strict inheritance at the time of handover.The actual records of Wuzong were naturally written by Yang Tinghe. After defeating the sharks this time, we could summon Yang Tinghe and say that there was something wrong with the actual records of Wuzong and ask him how he compiled these materials at that time.

By the way, several members of the Liang Prince, Wang Qiong, and the cabinet should also come and study, and study how to write their own records, so that they can reflect their great achievements in turning the tide, civil administration and martial arts, instead of giving future generations an obscure image of being militaristic and indistinguishable between merit and demerit.

"We didn't do that—"

Listening to Yuantong's accusation, Tang Caier was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"It wasn't you who did it, who else could-"

Yuantong said with a sneer while pushing the cart with difficulty.

"No one in this world can be as powerful as your White Lotus Sect. There are gangs all over the world, and even the imperial palace is not immune -"

"I can swear on the name of my grandmother, Maitreya Tang Saier, that this matter has nothing to do with us -"

Tang Cai'er retorted, her expression was very serious when she spoke. Obviously, the rumor back then also made this gang take the blame, and the people of the White Lotus Sect who were desperately pursued by the Ming Court's hawks and dogs were very angry.

Hearing that the demon girl opposite swore in the name of Tang Sai'er, Yuantong's eyes became serious. He carefully looked at the senior White Lotus sect in front of him, also named Tang, and couldn't help but stop even the small cart he had been pushing. Put it down and put it on the roadside.

The thoughts in Yuantong's heart were rolling, creating a stormy sea, and faintly touching some abnormal nerves in his mind at the moment.

If what she said is true.

That means there has been a big problem with the layout of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple over the years.

In that incident, there was probably a third party hiding behind the scenes, stirring up the situation silently, and in the end, all the blame was placed on the White Lotus Sect.

Yuantong, he never thought that anything could destroy the thousand-year-old temple behind him.

But with the death of the Patriarch Fa Neng and the secret knowledge before him, he noticed a huge dark cloud hanging over the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

There are terrible monsters living there, hiding in the dark princes. They show their terrible fangs to the people of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, intending to devour everything.

"Why didn't you tell the truth then?"

Yuantong pushed the cart again.

The road was a bit bumpy and the vehicle was too heavy.

He gritted his teeth and pushed it up the hill.

The corpses in the cart inevitably collided and rolled, making a thumping sound.

"Why not? We immediately declared that the mastermind of the assassination, Li Zilong, was not one of ours...the doctors, eunuchs, and cooks in the palace were all with us...well, these people were indeed spies we planted in the palace. But we really didn’t order them to attack Ming Xianzong——"

"And he still did it with such a big fanfare, in front of everyone in the palace, for fear that people would not know that there was a spy in the palace, and someone assassinated the emperor. You know, there are many ways to kill the emperor, and some are very covert, such as during the draft. Send him a few more witches who practice the art of tonic to suck him to death, add some chronic poison to his food - things like that can also achieve the goal, and they can leave no trace..."

　I'm afraid some gentlemen don't know much about this history, so I'll explain it briefly.

　　Ming Xianzong is Ming Xiaozong’s father, Ming Wuzong is Ming Xiaozong’s son, Ming Xianzong is Ming Wuzong’s grandfather
　　The protagonist takes the class of Ming Wuzong
