Sheng Lingren was imprisoned because of his failed conspiracy to rebel.
The temple was also taken advantage of by the court to suppress it, and its strength was greatly reduced.
However, after all, Sheng Lingren had been working for the imperial court and had close contacts with Dongchang, so he was not immediately punished.
However, all this was because of one person who was interceding for Sheng Lingren. This person is not Dongchangchang Gong Shizhong, but his adopted son Sheng Moming.
Of course, Shi Zhong also indirectly put in a good word for Sheng Lingren. After all, if Sheng Lingren told all about his collusion with Dongchang, Shi Zhong would also be in big trouble. However, Sheng Lingren was not executed mainly because of Sheng Inexplicable.
It is said that Sheng is an inexplicable person, but in the entire temple, he is actually very different. He likes fancy clothes, but is cautious and low-key in his behavior. He had a deep love for Sheng Lingren and his son, but at a critical moment he betrayed his father and took refuge with Prince Xiao. It was precisely because of his temporary betrayal that King Xiao agreed to protect his father from death.
Otherwise, if someone from Sheng Ling commits the serious crime of rebellion, he will definitely be punished with death.
Sheng Lingren never thought that his adopted son, whom he loved and trusted the most, would betray him temporarily. But he actually didn't know that if it weren't for Sheng Moming, he might have been killed long ago. Sheng Lingren originally hated Sheng for his inexplicable rebellion, but in times of crisis, his own son Sheng Zhiqiang actually acted behind his back. In this comparison, there is actually not much difference between parent and adopted son.
In comparison, Sheng Moming was more upright and upright. After all, Sheng Moming had always been opposed to the matter of confronting the court, and had argued with his father several times over this. Sheng Zhiqiang was not the case. He had always supported his father's decision at first and actively planned and participated in it. He had always obeyed his father's orders and praised his virtues. However, when his father was already in danger, he suddenly attacked him without any warning. Sheng's inexplicable attitude has never changed. Even if he informed Prince Xiao, Sheng Lingren thought about it and it was actually reasonable.
Not going with the same trend is the same as adding insult to injury, and obviously the latter is more hated.
What is even more unexpected is that Sheng Zhiqiang not only secretly learned his Holy Qigong, but also inherited the position of Lord of the Temple as the eldest son after Sheng Lingren was arrested. Originally, Sheng Lingren's ideal candidate was the more stable and mature Sheng Moming, but because Sheng Moming was not his biological son, the matter never came to fruition.
Moreover, Sheng Zhiqiang is still in the prime of life, and it has not yet been his son's turn to succeed. In short, by coincidence, Sheng Zhiqiang suddenly rose from an unknown person to the head of one of the four major families in the world. Young and frivolous, unknown, but possessing huge power in his hands that can shake the foundation of the world. How could Sheng Zhiqiang not become ambitious in such a situation. Although he secretly practiced his father's Holy Qigong, he was still far behind the top masters from the other three families due to the lack of heat. Even compared with other major sects in the world, such as Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan, etc., he is still very young. Although the current strength of the temple is not too weak, it has been greatly reduced after the martial arts conference. If Sheng Zhiqiang wants to achieve something in a short period of time, he must rely on external forces. Dongchang is now also closely watched by the emperor and King Xiao, and will not have much contact with the temple in the short term. Japanese pirates at sea have become the only choice for the temple.
Sheng Zhiqiang believes that if he joins forces with the Huoxie Sect and defeats Xiaoxyaox Pavilion in one fell swoop, then the strength of their temple can be expanded to the south coast of the Yangtze River. By then, it will stand side by side with Tangmen and Dushouxia, and he will naturally become a member of the martial arts world. One tyrant. Over time, after he achieved great success in Holy Qigong, several old men from Tangmen and Dushouxia died, and he became the number one figure in the martial arts world.
When people have power, they have ambition.
Where there is ambition, there is killing.
However, in all Sheng Zhiqiang's plans, Sheng inexplicably always expressed support, but never took any obvious action.
In fact, Sheng's inexplicable situation was very embarrassing. On the one hand, he was already a thorn in his eldest brother's side, but after Sheng Zhiqiang's strength in the temple was greatly damaged, he did not want to touch him for the time being and did not trust him.
On the other side, he originally took refuge with Prince Xiao, but after all, he was still a member of the Temple. After the Temple rebelled, even if Rusheng was inexplicable, it was absolutely impossible to gain the trust of the court again.
The reason why Prince Xiao uses him is simply that he can understand the trends of many temples through him. Just like Sheng Zhiqiang, Prince Xiao also treated him with disbelief. It's not so much King Xiao, but the entire royal family.
The Sheng Ling people rebelled. If Sheng had not made an agreement with Prince Xiao in advance, the Sheng family would have been wiped out long ago. How could the royal family trust a rebellious adopted son?
However, after Sheng Zhiqiang took over the temple, he did not do nothing. He first joined forces with the jade-faced lady Shen Lingyu to gather together all the forces in the temple and integrate the temple together again. Then with the help of Jade Faced Lady Shen Lingyu, she further improved the Holy Qigong. Holy Qigong was originally an internal Qigong, and Shen Lingyu was good at using poison. So Shen Lingyu had a whim and asked Sheng Zhiqiang to add poison to her energy. Unexpectedly, this whimsical method actually allowed Sheng Zhiqiang to practice a unique skill - the Holy Qi Poison Skill.
On that day, Xiao Yurong was first injected with the Holy Qi Poison by Sheng Zhiqiang, and then Li Yu and others were unaware of the deceit when they performed exercises and breath adjustments for her, so she was eroded by the Holy Qi Poison Technique, resulting in serious injuries that were difficult to recover from.
Sheng Zhiqiang's first victory in the Holy Qi Poison Skill made him full of trust in this magical skill.
During the time when Sheng Zhiqiang left the capital, Sheng Zhiqiang handed over all the affairs of the temple to his younger brother Sheng Moming. Sheng Zhiqiang's inexplicable existence made Sheng Zhiqiang feel like a thorn in his back, but Sheng Zhiqiang had to use him. Because in the entire temple, no one is as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as Sheng Mo Mi.
However, one thing Sheng Zhiqiang is sure of is that at least he will not betray himself now. If Sheng inexplicably didn't want to be with him, he wouldn't have succumbed in the first place. Now that he has agreed to do things for himself, he will definitely fulfill his duties.
Good people are always so simple. It's a pity that most people don't believe that there are good people in this world.
The thoughts of good people are actually very simple, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are stupid. The "goodness" of good people is often taken advantage of by bad people.
In Sheng Zhiqiang's view, his sworn brother is a person who is available but not trustworthy.
Because, after all, they are not on the same road.
In the temple, Sheng was inexplicably a strange person and a strange existence.
Sometimes, Sheng Zhiqiang often thinks about why his father, Sheng Lingren, has always allowed such a different and different existence like Sheng Inexplicable.
