Emperor Chongzhen kicked the table. This was the news spread from the palace.
All the eunuchs and maids were given instructions to be careful not to wander around or make mistakes. Even so, one young eunuch was still too nervous and threw the inkstone in the imperial study room and was killed with a cane.
The entire palace was shrouded in a white atmosphere of terror. Everyone was cautious, fearing that they would make some mistake and cause the emperor to become furious and be beaten to death!
"Your Majesty, this living Buddha must be released! The Ming Dynasty can no longer be in chaos." A man with a neat beard and thick eyebrows said respectfully.
Chongzhen rubbed the corners of his eyes vigorously, and when he opened his eyes, he could see a pair of scarlet pupils that seemed to choose people for food.
No emperor can tolerate an entire village being slaughtered under his own eyes. The so-called emperor's feet should at least be the most peaceful place in the world.
Although Zhuangzi around the capital had been slaughtered by Huang Taiji before, being slaughtered again and again made Chongzhen furious. The other party even nailed the villagers to death in the most humiliating way.
Pillar, poke it there!
This was more uncomfortable than slapping Chongzhen in the face. It was like squatting on his head and shitting. The most shameful thing was that he had to let the living Buddha go. This was tantamount to being threatened successfully.
.
At this time, Chongzhen really wanted to order the Living Buddha to be chopped into pieces and executed in Lingchi! Others could not do anything to kill the Living Buddha, but with the talented masters around him, there was no difficulty in killing the Living Buddha.
But this death by a thousand cuts was right next to his mouth, and he just couldn't spit it out. Because of the Immortal Master's words in the morning, the world was not chaotic enough, and the evildoers had not yet appeared. This made him have to think of killing the living Buddha of Lamaism.
So is this chaos enough? You must know that Lamaism is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If you kill their living Buddha, you will be a relentless enemy!
This is a difficult problem, a difficult problem that may or may not be enough, but it is definitely a problem that cannot be chosen, because he can only choose not to kill. Chongzhen cannot make this bet. If he kills the living Buddha, the world will be in chaos and evildoers will appear.
, then maybe only half of the Ming Dynasty is left as in his dream, or even the Ming Dynasty is dead as Chang Xiao said.
Chongzhen finally made a rumble in his throat and swallowed a breath. Immediately afterwards, Chongzhen's whole body seemed to have aged a lot, and the few strands of green hair on his temples even turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Let it go!" Chongzhen said this word almost through gritted teeth.
As this word came out of his mouth, Chongzhen felt as if his soul had been taken away, and he became slumped and powerless.
Hearing this, several ministers nearby spoke together and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. This is a threat from those group of lamas. You must not let this living Buddha go. Once this trend breaks out, no matter who will come to the capital in the future."
To show off one's power, if anyone wants to get someone from the emperor, they will massacre the people around the capital, then..."
Chongzhen waved his hands feebly, with a difficult expression on his face, and finally said nothing.
Seeing the emperor's move, the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who spoke first couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty!"
"Sheng Ming, what the hell!" Chongzhen said softly, his voice was so low that no one could hear it. Maybe these four words just rippled around in his heart and were not spit out by him.
Immediately, Chongzhen stood up, shook slightly, and slowly left the Wenyuan Pavilion where important military matters were handled.
Seeing Chongzhen's tired figure disappear, a wealthy minister next to the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes casually smiled at him and whispered: "Master Zhang, these lamas are really not easy to mess with!"
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed slightly. The other person's words were a pun. He could naturally hear the meaning. He needed help from these lamas for some things, but he didn't expect that these lamas were so ruthless that they killed him.
More than 500 personal stakes were erected throughout the village.
Master Zhang moved the corners of his mouth, but finally sighed, shook his head slightly, sat in his seat, closed his eyes, and rested his mind. The rich minister next to him sneered slightly, and then went to do other things.
Chongzhen returned directly to the imperial study and immediately summoned Tianya.
After Tianya reported the news of the massacre of the people to Chongzhen, he had actually been waiting in the palace, waiting for Chongzhen's call. At this time, he frowned. Those lamas had done an incredible job. The entire village had 530 people.
All fourteen of them were killed and no one was left alive!
In fact, Tianzhuo's reaction was not slow. He stopped the lamas almost as soon as they started to attack. Unfortunately, Tianzhuo's manpower was most prosperous when Zhu Di was in power, and then slowly shrunk, especially in the few years.
The war between immortals and demons ten years ago caused the entire Tianzhu personnel to drop sharply, and their vitality was severely damaged, making it impossible for them to recover. After all, people with cultivation are not just easy to catch, and even if they are caught, they may not be willing to surrender to the court.
Efficacy. Those who have cultivated Zhenqi cannot be too forced, because behind them there are often teachers and even immortal sects of one kind or another.
The palace also specially recruited several batches of children to train them from an early age. Unfortunately, the final results were not ideal. Many of those trained were often unable to cultivate Qi and could only carry an iron ruler with them throughout their lives.
It is true that not everyone can cultivate Qi, it requires some opportunities and some own conditions.
For example, Chen Zhuo, if he hadn't suffered the death of Uncle Wu and suffered a heavy mental injury, and had to work hard before cultivating his true qi, he doesn't know how long it would take him to cultivate his true qi, and he wouldn't even be able to cultivate his true qi in an eternity. True qi is not something that
You can get it by accumulating!
This is chance, and it is also called the supreme marriage among monks.
Only those who have the ultimate marriage can learn about the Tao. After all, so many people in the world have no chance to learn about the Tao, but you can learn about the Tao. This is a chance, and not everyone who can hear about the Tao is lucky.
Many people regard the Dao as the Dao. Many people laugh at the Dao and regard it as a foolish technique. They do not believe in the Dao at all. Those who believe deeply in the Dao and practice hard are very few who can cultivate true energy. This is
Supreme cause and condition.
Therefore, the number of people in Tianzhuo has been shrinking. In the end, there are only one hundred and nine green rulers, thirty-three silver rulers, ten gold rulers, and even Tianya doesn't know how many crystal rulers there are, but the number should be
Can't fit beyond the palm of one's hand.
Such a small amount of manpower has to be spread out. The entire Ming Dynasty is so big, it is barely enough to say that it is a drop in the bucket.
This is what happened to Tianzhuo. This time, Tianzhuo suffered heavy losses. Ten people were killed and stabbed by the lama, and two people were seriously injured, including two silver rulers. This kind of loss was the first since the war between immortals and demons decades ago.
Never before.
After hearing Chongzhen's summons, Tianya entered the imperial study.
Chongzhen was sitting loosely on a large chair. In the morning, he was still high-spirited. He felt that the chaos was not big, the monster had not appeared, and everything was under control, but now he felt that he was completely out of control.
, under the great joy and sorrow, the whole person was defeated!
He wanted to suppress the chaos, but the chaos came one after another. Isn't this a sign of the country's subjugation? Especially that dream, written on the palm of his hand, once again made Chongzhen anxious and uneasy. The most important thing was Chang Xiao.
The Ming Dynasty I was talking about will perish!
This was the first time that Chongzhen heard such words. Perhaps he was the first emperor to hear such words in the entire Ming Dynasty's two hundred years of history. This sentence was like a curse, tightly wrapping around Chongzhen.
His chest felt tight and he couldn't breathe.
Chongzhen sat quietly without speaking, and Tianya naturally could not speak either and waited quietly.
After a while, Chongzhen said: "Let the living Buddha go! Send him away from the Ming Dynasty! Leave him alive."
Hearing this, Tianya raised his head fiercely, and the tiger above his head roared, roaring several times in size, but then it calmed down.
"Your Majesty, after these lamas have committed such crimes, how can we allow them to leave peacefully like this?" Tianya said calmly. Although he is a figure in Tianzhuang and is under the control of the emperor, he has cultivated elixir energy.
With his cultivation, he doesn't care about the emperor's authority. Even in the palace, with his cultivation, as long as those crystal rulers don't take action, no one can keep him. Their existence in Tianshang is not for the sake of success.
Glory, splendor and wealth may be somewhat tempting to people who have cultivated Zhenqi, but for people like them who have cultivated golden elixir seeds, it has no value at all. Therefore, although he obeys the emperor's order
, but there is no need to be groveling in front of the emperor. He may show a little respect in front of others, but in private, he and the emperor are face-to-face and equal.
Emperor Chongzhen also knew the other party's cultivation status, so he did not take his words of criticism as a hindrance. He said feebly: "This morning, Immortal Master Mingxing once said to me that there is not enough chaos in the world, and the evildoers have not yet appeared, and the Ming Dynasty will not be able to survive."
It’s safe to say that this happened at noon. I don’t know what the chaos will be like after killing the Living Buddha, and what will happen to the evildoers!”
When Tianya heard this, he was slightly startled, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The reason why these people stayed in the royal family was not just to protect their family. If Chongzhen was immoral, then they would not bother to pay attention to him.
But now that Chongzhen has made it clear that he is a monarch who strives to rule, then it is safest for him to take the throne in this world. Mingxing's cultivation is much higher than him. Since Mingxing said so, there will be no difference. Kill the Living Buddha.
It is indeed adding chaos to chaos, and may actually attract evildoers!
Tianya's eyes flashed slightly, and then he said: "Your Majesty, we don't kill Living Buddhas, but people in the world may not kill Living Buddhas. What the lamas did in the Yuan Dynasty was extremely jealous, and now they have done something like this again
, has angered the immortal sects in the Middle-earth, and even the demon sects will take action. The Jurchen Tatars came to burn, kill and loot near the capital. These sects were too lazy to take care of it, because after all, this was a confrontation among the secular world, and the immortal figures would not easily intervene, but this Lamaism
It is also one of the immortal sects. If you do such a thing in the Ming Dynasty, it will naturally arouse the anger of the public. At that time, I am afraid that it is not the emperor who wants to ask the living Buddha to leave safely, but the living Buddha will be able to leave!"
When Chongzhen heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he showed a wry smile. So what if the emperor, after all, there are still many things that he couldn't do. For example, in order to suppress the chaos, he suppressed his anger and wanted to send the Living Buddha out of the Ming Dynasty alive, but the Immortal Sect was exhausted.
Everyone wants to kill him. He, the emperor, cannot protect the living Buddha at all. He wants to calm down the chaos, but now the living Buddha is like a stone thrown into the lake. The ripples are rippling in circles, getting bigger and bigger.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to contain.
He tried desperately to cover it, but wisps of flames still emerged from between his fingers.
