Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

"That's enough, you two! What we are discussing now is a major matter related to the future of the Holy Religion. If you two want to quarrel, get out of here!"

Zhou Tong and Zhao Mingde shrank their necks at the same time, not daring to speak anymore.

At this time, it was Old Man Kong who stood up to speak for the two of them: "Qi Guogong, please calm down. I can understand General Zhou's mood. I must be worried about the success or failure of the Holy Religion's uprising?"

As he spoke, Old Man Kong looked at Zhou Tong with a smile, even though the room was pitch dark and he could hardly see anything.

Zhou Tong clearly felt the kindness released by Old Man Kong.

He hurriedly stood up and hugged Old Man Kong with a fist in his arms: "Mr. Kong is right. When have I, Zhou Tong, been afraid in all these years of going through life and death for the Holy Religion?"

"I'm just worried that if we can't gather enough people, we won't be able to pose a real threat to the Dog Court."

"We will not hesitate to die for the Holy Religion."

"But if the important events of the Holy Religion are delayed because of this, wouldn't we become the eternal sinners of the Holy Religion?"

After hearing Zhou Tong's words, Pop-up nodded with satisfaction: "That's right. Our life and death are trivial matters, but the major matters of the Holy Religion cannot be delayed at all."

"The king of Han has worked hard for many years to achieve today's situation. We must not let it die in our hands, so we must be careful when doing things and make sure there are no mistakes."

The group leader had just finished speaking when a person in the corner said sadly: "I'm afraid we can't handle this kind of thing."

His voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The altar owner frowned: "General Xu, what do you mean?"

The person who had been standing in the corner without speaking before slowly took two steps forward.

It can be seen from the clothes on this man that he must also be a scholar.

Wearing a long robe and holding a folding fan in his hand: "Qi Guogong, as I said, we don't have much time."

"What this piece of shit like King Zhu Han of England is best at is winning people's hearts."

"Everyone has seen the situation in Datong Mansion. As long as those fleeing people come to Datong Mansion, they can have enough food and clothing."

"Zhu Han, that bitch, just used a little bit of petty profit to make those mud-legged people not care about anything."

"Fortunately now, there are many people who have escaped from other places in Datong and have not been deceived by that hypocrite Zhu Han."

"But haven't you ever thought about it? Several months have passed since the drought in Datong Prefecture."

"Many people in the entire Datong Prefecture who were able to flee have already fled to Datong Prefecture and surrounding places that were not affected by the disaster."

"It is almost foreseeable that fewer and fewer people will come to Datong Mansion in the future."

"Of course the number of followers our White Lotus Sect can absorb will become less and less."

"There are not many people joining the Holy Religion now. Can you still expect more people to join our Holy Religion in the future?"

"You can count how many people you have in total. With just a few of us, can we occupy Datong Mansion?"

"Not to mention, we also want to kill that bitch Zhu Han, weaken the power of Ming Dynasty, and prepare for the uprising of our holy religion."

After hearing this person's words, the faces of the altar master, Zhou Tong and Zhao Mingde all changed.

It's just that the room was too dark, so each other couldn't see each other's faces.

However, they all know that with the few people they have, even if they want to occupy the original vat, it will be extremely difficult.

Not to mention, after Zhu Han came to Datong Mansion, he also brought many accompanying guards and royal guards.

Although there are not many people, those who can be responsible for protecting Zhu Han are definitely the best among the best.

Their strength is almost comparable to that of Datong's original defenders.

After the initial panic, Zhao Mingde retorted unconvinced: "Xu Shiheng, what do you mean by always advocating for the Dog Court here? Could it be that you want to betray our Holy Religion?"

Xu Shiheng didn't care, he just shook his head slightly and said, "Zhao Mingde, you don't have to keep the word betrayal on your lips all day long."

"I, Xu Shiheng, joined the Holy Cult much earlier than you. I don't know how many times I have gone through life and death for the Holy Cult."

"I'm not trying to boost other people's ambitions and destroy my own prestige. However, if we want to achieve our goals, we must face ourselves."

"In any case, our current strength must be much smaller than that of the imperial court."

"So we'd better plan ahead, at least we have to know how to deal with the current situation."

Old Man Kong suddenly laughed: "Generals, don't worry about this."

"I had known that this would happen, so I had already sent a letter to the King of Han before."

"The King of Han has already asked the members of our holy religion to disguise themselves as fleeing people and dare to come to Datong Mansion for reinforcements."

"I believe these people will arrive today or tomorrow at the latest. By then, the defenders of Datong Mansion will be nothing to our Holy Cult."

Mentioning this matter, Old Man Kong’s eyebrows danced.A proud look.

It seems that everything is under his control, and he just can't make a decision to defeat Zhuge Kongming who is thousands of miles away.

However, the proud old man Kong did not notice that the altar leader, known as Qi Guogong, looked at him with an increasingly expectant look.

Of course, Old Man Kong may not be able to see the light here at all.

"That's right!" It tickled you, and Old Man Kong seemed to suddenly remember something: "His Majesty the King of Han is also among them."

"As long as we can capture Datong Mansion, the King of Han will directly proclaim himself emperor."

"When the time comes, it won't be difficult for our White Lotus sect members all over the world to respond and overthrow the Dog Court in one fell swoop."

The more I looked at him, the more excited Old Man Kong became, and his beard stood up.

It was as if this great world was already in their possession.

As for the Duke of Qi, his face became more and more ugly, as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Damn it, the King of Han is here too."

I don't know how many times I have scolded this old man Kong.

On the surface, he looked very happy: "It's great that His Highness the King of Han is coming too."

"As long as His Highness the King of Han leads us, no bullshit Zhu Han or any bullshit Ming army can be our opponent of the Holy Religion."

The other people also had different expressions, some were happy, some were worried, and the expressions were complicated. Obviously everyone had their own little thoughts.

It's just that this room is too dark, so they don't even need to hide their emotions.

Not even until the next day, only four hours after their meeting.

A group of people who had just left had to return to this house under the cover of night.

As soon as Zhao Mingde entered the door, he complained dissatisfiedly: "Altar Master, I know you are so late and anxious. We must have important matters, but no matter how big the matter is, it is not so urgent."

"It's not easy for us to take the time to come here. If we do it too frequently, we may be discovered by the eagle dogs of the Dog Court."

"At that time, everyone in our Holy Cult in Datong Mansion will be in bad luck..."

Before he finished speaking, the rest of the words were swallowed hard.Although the room was lit with candles, it still seemed extremely dark.

But a person sitting at the top in the middle of the room made Zhao Deming tremble in his heart.

Not caring about anything else, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground: "The general has met the prince."

There was only one person sitting in the room at this time. Although this person was wearing ordinary people's clothes, he had an aura of majesty.

He has a straight face, but there is a coldness in his eyes. Although his figure is not particularly tall, it makes people feel like they dare not look directly at him.

This person is none other than Chen Xueying, the actual controller of the White Lotus Sect, who calls himself the King of Han.

The origin of Chen Xueying is not simple. He is the 27th son of Chen Youliang, the king of Han who once proclaimed himself king.

It turns out that Chen Xueying is the least transparent one among all the sons of Chen Youliang.

It's so pitiful that Chen Youliang might not remember his son at all.

Precisely because he is so transparent, many theater incidents rarely involve him.

When Chen Youliang was fighting a bloody battle with Wang Baobao, he was killed in a sneak attack by his son Chen Li.

The Han Dynasty, which had long been a lost cause, had also completely fallen apart.

On that night, Chen Xueying finally saw what the real Analects of Confucius was.

There was carnage and blood everywhere.

The misfortune in the first half of his life also allowed him to escape this massacre.

Chen Youliang's family members and almost all his sons died in the chaos.

He was the only one who escaped with his life.

After escaping, Chen Xueying kept her name anonymous and wanted to live an ordinary life like this.

But he didn't expect that only half a year after his peaceful days, someone would find him.

This person was none other than the then leader of the White Lotus Sect.

The reason why he found Chen Xueying was simple. He just wanted to use Chen Youliang's remaining prestige to gather those remnants who did not want to restore the Ming Dynasty and strengthen the power of the White Lotus Sect.

Chen Xueying naturally did not want to agree to this request before.

Following Chen Youliang's escape, he knew very well how powerful Daming was now.

It's a pity that there are many things that he cannot make the decision on his own.

He was alone at that time, so he was naturally unable to resist the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

It's just that the leader of the White Lotus Sect is also seeking death.

Originally he just wanted to support a puppet, but he didn't expect that the power Chen Youliang left behind was much greater than he imagined.

Only a few months later, Chen Xueying's strength had already caught up.

With the help of the power left by Chen Youliang, he succeeded in taking over the original leader of the White Lotus Sect after he was killed.

And once you get to his position, it's impossible not to do some things.

In order to maintain his rule, Chen Xueying could only think of one way.

He kept giving officials and titles to Chen Youliang's former subordinates.

Anyway, he doesn't have these things now, it's just a matter of lip service.

Empty promises are of course too generous.

It is precisely because of this that the current White Lotus Sect has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the past.

Although he killed the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Chen Xueying was unable to control the entire White Lotus Sect immediately.

Chen Xueying's method of controlling them was also quite simple. He directly granted officials and titles in the name of the King of Han.

The leader of the altar in each region started as a prince.

The hall leaders below are basically generals.

All of a sudden, it was a mess to teach a white man who was clean and ready to rebel.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to mediate and gradually control the entire White Lotus Sect.

However, after all, he has only been in charge of the Baigan Cult for a short time, and the local altar leaders are respectful on the surface, but in fact they still work on their own.

Many people also violated Chen Xueying's orders.

Regarding this situation, Chen Xueying was not too anxious. She just took Chen Youliang's old subordinates and slowly sorted out the White Lotus Sect's forces one place at a time.

It is precisely because of this that the altar master of the White Lotus Sect's Datong Mansion was so resistant to Chen Xueying's arrival.

In this process, Chen Xueying is also constantly learning and improving.

Just like now, he is just sitting there with an expressionless face, which can make people like Zhao Mingde feel terrified and kneel down to worship.

"Get up!" Chen Xueying waved lightly.

Zhao Mingde stood up nervously, not even daring to look at Chen Xueying.

He walked carefully to the altar master and stood behind him.

"Is everyone here?" Chen Xueying said calmly.

The altar master took a step forward and replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness, Mr. Kong and Master Xu Shiheng have not arrived yet."

Before Chen Xueying could speak, a man wearing eunuch clothes beside him had already said sharply in a non-yinful tone: "How brave! How dare you let the prince wait for them? These two people are simply lawless."

Chen Xueying smiled and shook her head: "It doesn't matter. These are the martyrs who helped me restore the country. They haven't learned so many rules. It doesn't matter if it's a little late."

"I'm anxious to see them tonight. It's understandable that it's not convenient for them to come over at the moment. I'll just wait here."

Hearing what Chen Xueying said, even the altar owner couldn't help but be slightly startled.

I really didn’t expect that His Highness the King of Han would be so courteous and virtuous.

It seemed a little different from what they had in mind.

Even the altar leader thinks so, let alone Zhou Tong and Zhao Mingde.

The two of them looked like Chen Xueying, and their eyes suddenly became extremely hot.

It is estimated that even if someone asked the two of them to die for Chen Xueying, they would not even frown.

Kong Fuzi and Xu Shiheng arrived relatively late. After half an hour, they were belatedly arriving.

After the Confucius saw Chen Xueying, he immediately knelt down tremblingly and bowed to the ground: "Student Kong Huairen has met His Highness the King of Han." (End of this chapter)
