Chapter 560: What the people of our holy religion want
"Which bastard came up with such a despicable and shameless idea?" Zhao Mingde couldn't help but cursed.
This method is not new. In the past, the imperial court would also offer rewards for criminals.
It's just that the imperial court's reward, although it's a lot of money, only targets a small number of people.
Most ordinary people, even if they see it, may not dare to actually claim the reward.
The most important thing is that the previous official uniforms did not have a high reputation among ordinary people.
God knows whether those corrupt officials will exchange the reward money.
Moreover, many ordinary people are not willing to take the risk of offending such a cruel person to receive any money?
But it really doesn't hurt now. The one who announced the reward this time was the famous King of England Zhu Han.
The entire Datong Mansion... no, look at the entire world.
Not only the Ming Dynasty, China itself, but also the barbarians outside.
Some people don't know how rich King Zhu Han of England is.
Just a random idea can make you a lot of money.
Moreover, everyone knows that Zhu Han is rich.
After the drought occurred in Datong Prefecture, these grain merchants who came to Datong Prefecture to do business and made a lot of money from the national crisis must have paid tribute to Zhu Han. I don't know how much.
In addition, the reward this time is really quite large.
Even if you report an ordinary member of the White Lotus Sect, the reward will be one or two silver coins.
Not to mention anything else, Guang Mingde has about three hundred people under his command.
Ordinary white people were called heavier, and coupled with those small bosses, Zhao Deming almost subconsciously calculated how much money he could be rewarded if he surrendered to the imperial court?
At least more than one thousand two hundred taels.
All of a sudden, Zhao Mingde's heart suddenly became alive.
After all, although he is a small boss, he was also made a general by Chen Xueying.
But everyone knows that these generals are just empty names and actually have nothing.
Although the White Lotus Sect has members offering incense and offerings, the people who can join the White Lotus Sect are those with little money.
In addition, a considerable part of the incense money has to be handed over.
In the end, not much was left in their hands.
It's not that the White Lotus Sect doesn't have other profitable businesses, but those businesses are not very popular and are risky to do.
Now as long as you join the Dog Court, you can get a lot of money directly into your hands. It's hard not to be tempted.
Chen Xueying also clearly realized the seriousness of the matter.
If it were him before, he might not have noticed anything.
You might even laugh at Zhu Han for his whimsical thinking, wanting people to work for him for just a tael of silver.
However, after living in anonymity and living as an ordinary person for a period of time, Chen Xueying finally understood the importance of money.
One tael of silver may not sound like much, but for ordinary people, it is definitely a lot of income.
The believers in the White Lotus Sect are originally the lowest common people.
No one can guarantee whether they will betray their own people under the temptation of such interests.
Moreover, ordinary members of the cult only have one tael of silver, but he, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, is rewarded with a full 50,000 taels of silver.
After hearing the news, Chen Xueying suddenly felt very insecure.
I just felt that everyone around me, even Chen Youliang's former subordinates.
The eyes looking at him seemed to have become evil.
It looked like he was not looking at a living person, but a golden mountain.
"Your Majesty, Xiao... no, it is precisely because of this that I feel that we cannot delay it any longer. It is best for us to cut through the mess quickly and deal with that bitch Zhu Han as soon as possible before things get out of hand. Only in this way can they
You can truly sit back and relax, Your Majesty."
The reason why the altar owner was so concerned was not because of how loyal he was to Chen Xueying.
If it weren't for the fact that the battle dramas of Chen Xueying's subordinates were so amazing, and even the masters around the leader were no match, he would not even bother with Chen Xueying.
Does a boy with no hair at all really think he is so great?
The reason for this special reminder was that in the past few days, all his subordinates were in a state of panic and almost couldn't bear it anymore.
If he hadn't made a sudden decision, he would have killed a few vacillating people in front of everyone, thus frightening those who harbored evil intentions.
Maybe someone has already gone to the Dog Court to report them.
That damn old man Kong actually suggested that they wait for the opportunity at this time.
This is not a fucking modern opportunity. This is a fucking opportunity where I stretched my neck to clean it and waited for others to come and chop me.
He felt strange, why he felt that his brain was twitching before, and thought that this old man Kong was some kind of great master.
The results of it?
That's it?
As an old saying goes, it takes three years for a scholar to rebel, right?
She didn't quite understand it before. It was a rebellion, so how could it last three years?
Now it looks like it's pretty much the same. It's obvious that the situation has reached this point, but this old man Kong still wants to wait for the other party to make some bullshit.
Old Man Kong had already taken a dislike to Old Man Kong when he took the decision without permission and notified Chen Xueying to come to Datong Mansion.
Now I feel more and more that this old man is disgusting and definitely not a good person.
Before he could finish this thought, he suddenly heard a loud roar: "Shut up!"
"You, a traitor, are you trying to murder the prince by making such a suggestion?"
"What?" Master Tan was completely confused. He clearly proposed the idea of taking action as soon as possible to Chen Xueying out of good intentions, but why did it suddenly turn into murder.
"Old Man Kong, don't be slanderous. I am loyal to the prince and have never thought of murdering the prince!" the altar owner immediately defended anxiously.
Old Man Kong indeed sneered twice: "If you don't have this intention, why are you so anxious to argue?"
"Did I expose your idea, so you jumped over the wall in a hurry?"
The Altar Master's lungs were about to burst with anger. This old man Kong was a master at confusing right and wrong.
He wanted to refute, but his eloquence was no match for Old Man Kong?
Often just when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Old Man Kong.
"I'm not……"
"Not what? No, Datong Mansion is currently suffering from a once-in-a-century drought, and the people are extremely resentful of the imperial court. It is a good time for us to expand our manpower."
"You are proposing that we act as soon as possible at this time. Do you want us to use our current strength to fight against the Dog Court?"
"I'm not..." The altar owner still wanted to speak.
"I think you are!" Old Man Kong's beard curled up.
"Although the Dog Court is extremely tyrannical, the army they control is not comparable to ours."
"Besides, our Holy Cult's army has just arrived at Datong Mansion, and it is the time when we are exhausted."
"The personnel are not as good as the Dog Court, the equipment is not as good as the Dog Court, and we are still a tired army. Now that we are raising troops, do you think we can't die fast enough?"
"I never thought about it that way, it's just the current situation..."
The altar owner had just begun to speak, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Old Man Kong again: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Ignorance is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that you are ignorant and think you know everything."
.”
"Our holy religion is now following the heavens and fighting against the rebels."
"That bitch, King Zhu Han of England, gave those people a little benefit, making them think that this guy was really good to them."
"But this guy is just pretending. As time goes by, more and more people will see clearly the true face of the Dog Court."
"When the time comes, as long as our Holy Cult ascends to the top and makes a call, it will surely be answered by hundreds of responses. At that time, we can even take down Datong Mansion without a single blow."
I'm afraid Old Man Kong himself didn't even realize how outrageous his words were.
But the problem is that this guy speaks with extreme confidence, as if whatever comes out of his own mouth is irrefutable truth.
Perhaps because he was too confident, Chen Xueying, who was originally a little nervous, gradually calmed down and felt less panicked than before.
At the beginning, the forum leader kept wanting to refute.
But those who knew about it were so stunned by Old Man Kong that they no longer knew what to say.
In the end, he simply gave up the struggle and let Old Man Kong talk endlessly.
In the end, even Chen Xueying couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Old Man Kong: "Kong Shaobao, please calm down."
"The Duke of Qi is a rough man and doesn't understand things related to strategy. His suggestion is actually for the good of our holy religion."
"Hmph, Old Man Kong curled his lips in disdain."
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. If you delay the important events of our holy religion, you will be our great man's eternal sinner."
The altar owner nodded roundly: "Master, what you are teaching me is that I will never dare to speak casually in the future."
Of course, his heart once again scolded the eighteenth generation of Old Man Kong's ancestors.
This heartless bitch, if I hadn't dealt with him, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
Now he hugged her on his lap, not only did he not care about the friendship of rescuing him before, but he even took advantage of his authority.
Don't think that because he is a rough man, he really doesn't understand anything. That's why Old Man Kong targets him everywhere.
Not just to consolidate his position in front of Chen Xueying.
At the same time, I drew a clear line with him and stated that I had no close relationship with him.
Therefore, there is really nothing good about scholars.
Chen Xuying didn't listen to a word of what the altar leader said.
After Old Man Kong tried to dissuade her, she still asked worriedly: "Master, what Duke Qi said is not completely unreasonable."
"Zhu Han, a traitor, will surely attract some money-hungry people by letting out such a loud voice to reward him with silver."
"What if these people's reports attract the attention of the imperial court and cause problems in our holy religion's uprising?"
Old Man Kong patted his chest confidently: "My lord, please feel free to worry."
"What the traitor Zhu Han did was nothing more than despicable tricks."
"Since we want to overthrow Baoming, we must use upright teachers to face it."
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that what you can buy with money is only a small number of greedy people."
"I believe that most people can still see the treacherous intentions of the traitor."
"It's just because no one has dared to stand up and resist Baoming's rule."
"So those ordinary people can only accept it, so as long as we can stand up, we will definitely be supported by the people."
"Is that so? Mr. Kong is a great talent, and Xiao Wang has learned a lesson." Although Chen Xueying also felt that there seemed to be something wrong.
But seeing Old Man Kong's extremely confident expression, he couldn't help but feel that it was his own problem.
The old man Kong in front of him is the leader of the contemporary Kong Sheng lineage.
Such a person will definitely be like Zhuge Kongming, with strategies and talents that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
It is because they are stupid and cannot understand the profound meaning of Master Confucius.
You know, you can’t blame them. Confucianism has been a tool of the feudal ruling class for thousands of years.
He has already packaged himself as an omnipotent, saint-like existence.
It can be said that the Kong family of this era is like those stars of later generations.
No matter how outrageous their behavior is, their fans will also use their own filters to rationalize their behavior.
As for Chen Xueying, as one of Chen Youliang's least valued sons, she really didn't have contact with many people of this level in the past.
Now suddenly the biggest boss of the Kong family came to surrender to the city. I was so excited for a while that I almost lost my ability to judge.
If it were another leader, even the original leader of the White Lotus Sect, he wouldn't have been deceived so completely.
There will more or less be some of their own people around them to remind them.
It's a pity that Chen Xueying's situation is indeed different. The people around him are all ruffian generals, basically rough people who only know how to fight.
There is no problem in letting them go into battle to kill the enemy, but when it comes to words, these people together are probably not as good as Old Man Chen.
All kinds of coincidences came together, but no one questioned Old Man Kong's words.
Seeing everyone staring at him dumbfounded, Old Man Kong stroked his beard proudly.
"Your Highness the King of Han, Baoming seems to be strong, but in fact it is full of crises."
"It's just that the two evil thieves Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han are still there, so they managed to suppress it and didn't break out."
"Once we can kill one of these two people, it will prove that they are not as invincible as the legend says."
"There will definitely be more righteous people who are willing to join our team and work with us to overthrow this brutal Ming Dynasty."
"So before an incident occurs, we must plan thoroughly and absolutely cannot make any mistakes."
The more he talked about it, the murderous look on Old Man Kong's face became heavier: "We must kill with one blow and severely damage the army of the Dog Court."
"Only in this way can everyone in the world know that some people have begun to be dissatisfied with the Dog Court."
After another half an hour of talking, everyone, including Chen Xueying, listened honestly.
