From eunuch to emperor

Shi Haoran is the crown prince, the eldest son of Daxia.

His biological mother was Queen Lu, who was supported by a group of generals including Lu Qichang, a privy envoy, and was also highly regarded by Shi Le.

Shi Yuncheng's biological mother was just an ordinary concubine. Relying on his familiarity with government affairs, he was able to join the court and participate in the government.

The two brothers have a competitive relationship, but Shi Haoran has the upper hand, and Shi Yuncheng is just competing.

The relationship between the two can't be said to be good, but they won't fight to the death.

Because Shi Yuncheng does not pose a fundamental threat to Shi Haoran, and will not shake his position as crown prince.

Shi Le just wanted to use Shi Yuncheng to spur Shi Haoran, making Shi Haoran feel a little bit in danger.

Everyone is well aware of this.

This time, Shi Le was besieged in Yangcheng, and the people in the country hated the imperial court. Shi Haoran was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Shi Yuncheng put forward the strategy of abandoning the car to protect the handsome, and killing the donkey after unloading the grind.

Shi Haoran thought it was feasible, so he went to report to Queen Lu.

This strategy seems to be for the country and the king, but in fact, Shi Yuncheng still has his own calculations.

After all, Zhaoti Temple is a national temple. After so many years of existence, the influence of Zhaoti Temple has penetrated into all walks of life in the military and government.

Although many people in the ruling and opposition parties hate it, its power should not be underestimated.

Especially when Kong Ji was still in Yangcheng, there were more than [-] monks and soldiers.

Shi Haoran came out to kill the people from Zhaoti Temple, if he backfired later, Shi Yuncheng could say that it was Shi Haoran's doing, and he took the opportunity to win over the monks to become powerful.

Of course, this is only one possibility.

What Shi Haoran wanted was to let Zhaoti Temple take the blame, then buy people's hearts and raise troops, so that the imperial court could survive the crisis and repel Long Chen's invasion.

When the time comes, he, Shi Haoran, will guard the Daxia Jiangshan Sheji. He is the number one hero of Weiguo, and he will be able to keep his future Jiangshan.

From Shi Yuncheng's point of view, if Shi Haoran succeeds, he will also be a hero for defending the country, and when Shi Haoran ascends the throne, he can gain a foothold in the court.

From Shi Yuncheng's point of view, this matter is beneficial and harmless.

Shi Haoran made up his mind, and Shi Yuncheng immediately sent someone to find Zhou Hao, the commander of the imperial army.

Not long after, Zhou Hao, the commander of the forbidden army, came in wearing armor and bringing a knife, and the guards at the door did not stop him.

The commanders of the imperial army are all armed with knives, which is different from others.

"Meet the crown prince, the second prince."

Zhou Hao came in and paid homage immediately.

Shi Yuncheng stood up and closed the door, Shi Haoran said: "Commander Zhou, please sit down."

Zhou Hao thanked him and sat down beside him.

Shi Haoran is the eldest son, and Zhou Hao is also an important minister of the court, so there is no need to be too restrained.

"To make a long story short, we are looking for Commander Zhou today because we want to eliminate rape."

Shi Haoran got straight to the point, Zhou Hao was puzzled when he heard the word "evil rape", which one would Shi Haoran get rid of?

Shi Yuncheng is the one who competes with Shi Haoran in the court, but Shi Yuncheng is here, so it is impossible to kill Shi Yuncheng face to face, right?

Seeing Zhou Hao's bewildered expression, Shi Yuncheng said, "Commander Zhou, you know everything about Zhaoti Temple."

"The common people pointed their finger at the imperial court and the father, saying that the father was conniving, and even ordered Zhaoti Temple to do so."

"These are all insults and slanders. My father did not instigate it. My father once asked Zhaoti Temple to stop, but they relied on their status as a national temple and ignored the king's order."

"Now the situation is critical, His Royal Highness is in charge and wants Commander Zhou to follow us and kill the prostitutes in Zhaoti Temple to thank the people of the world."

Zhou Hao understood now, what Shi Haoran wanted to kill was the obscene monk from Zhaoti Temple.

But...

"His Royal Highness, the monks at Zhaoti Temple are indeed guilty, but Master Kong Ji is important. Without the king's order, is it wrong for us to attack Zhaoti Temple without authorization?"

Zhou Hao is not an idiot, he knows that Zhaoti Temple's crimes are heinous, but to deal with the monks of Zhaoti Temple, Shi Le's king's orders must be ordered.

Otherwise, Zhou Hao would not be able to bear the burden of the Zhaoti Temple being moved, and the empty old bald donkey being questioned.

Zhou Hao said so, Shi Haoran was not surprised.

"Commander Zhou, I understand your worries, but the situation is critical now, and the father is besieged in Yangcheng. If we don't quell the anger of the people, we will not be able to recruit troops at all, and we even have to guard against the rebellion of the people."

"As long as we kill the obscene monks in Zhaoti Temple and use their lives to apologize to the people all over the world, the public anger will be appeased."

"We can recruit troops again, the people's rebellion can be stopped, and even the morale of the army in Yangcheng can be stabilized."

"Commander Zhou, there is also a problem with the morale of the Forbidden Army. Can you keep them steady?"

What Shi Haoran said made sense, there were indeed some people in Zhou Hao's imperial army who wanted to rebel.

Even Zhou Hao's younger brother, Zhou Heng, talked about rebellion, and his wife was raped.

"What His Royal Highness said is true, but... if something goes wrong, I will be the one to do it."

Zhou Hao was afraid that after the fall, he would settle accounts, and he would not be able to tell when the time came.

Shi Yuncheng immediately said: "This matter is simple. I have written a document with the son to prove that this matter was decided through our discussion, and Commander Zhou is just following orders."

Shi Haoran said: "Yes, this son is now the supervisor of the country, and this matter is up to me. Commander Zhou doesn't have to worry about it."

Shi Yuncheng immediately brought his pen and ink, and Shi Haoran made written evidence on the spot, proving that Shi Haoran was in charge of this matter, and Zhou Hao was just following orders.

After writing the evidence, Shi Haoran pressed his fingerprints, and Shi Yuncheng followed suit.

"Commander Zhou, do you have no doubts now?"

Shi Haoran handed the paper to Zhou Hao.

After receiving the paperwork, Zhou Hao nodded and said, "The prince and the second prince said so, how dare the last general refuse!"

"The last general will summon the forbidden army, and ask the prince to lead the army."

The written evidence has already been established, but Shi Haoran still has to take the lead in arresting and killing people publicly, Zhou Hao is unwilling to be the leader.

Shi Haoran didn't care about these things, and immediately agreed: "No problem, you go and gather troops, we will meet at the gate of Zhaoti Temple."

Zhou Hao immediately went out to assemble the imperial army, Shi Haoran and Shi Yuncheng immediately put on their armor, and the soldiers and horses in the mansion immediately assembled and went to Zhaoti Temple together.

When the two arrived at the gate of Zhaoti Temple, the five thousand forbidden troops had already arrived.

All the guards are wearing armor and holding weapons. They know what they are doing today, and everyone is very happy.

Regardless of whether one's own wife has been raped or not, everyone is willing to kill such an obscene monk that everyone hates.

"His Royal Highness."

Zhou Hao went forward to worship and see you.

Shi Haoran took the lead slightly and said, "Follow me!"

Shi Haoran was the first to ride in, followed by Zhou Hao and Shi Yuncheng.

The gate of Zhaoti Temple was closed tightly, with roadblocks set up at the gate, and an archery tower was built inside, which was sealed off like a military stronghold.

Shi Haoran led his troops over, and the monks in the temple didn't know what was going on, so they immediately opened the gate to welcome them.

Shi Haoran entered Zhaoti Temple smoothly.

"Where is Master Jing Yan?"

Shi Haoran asked coldly.

There are many deaths and injuries in Zhaoti Temple, and now Jing Yan is in charge of the monk affairs in the temple.

The monk immediately replied: "Brother Jingyan is in the backyard, your son is waiting."

The monk hurried to find Jing Yan.

Shi Haoran raised his head and glanced at the damaged Refuge Buddha, feeling a little afraid in his heart.

Shi Haoran said silently in his heart: I did this for Da Xia, Buddha is not to blame.

Not long after, Jing Yan arrived with several senior monks, and bowed to Shi Haoran: "Poor monk Jing Yan, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness."

Shi Haoran glanced at Jing Yan, and said coldly: "Immediately call the monks in the temple, everyone must come, this prince has something to say."

Monk Jingyan asked, "I don't know what your son is going to say?"

Shi Yuncheng said angrily: "Jing Yan, the son is now in charge of the country, and he has to report to you for his work!"

Jing Yan was taken aback, and immediately said: "Second prince, calm down, the poor monk didn't mean that, the prince wait a moment, the poor monk immediately summoned the monks in the temple."

Monk Jingyan didn't dare to ask any more questions, and immediately summoned the monks in the monastery to gather in front of the refuge hall.
