Taoist Zhaoyang stood back and refused to attack. Yang Lin finally understood.
He turned to look at Monk Chengkong with a sad expression on his side, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
The scars on the great monk's body that had been cut by the sword light had already closed, and not even a few drops of blood had been shed. It was obvious that he was not unable to fight anymore.
But he had no idea of taking action again.
"If Master doesn't take action, isn't he worried about the lives of the monks in Mount Wutai?"
"The matter has come to this, and there is no point in worrying. Even if we desperately try to keep the benefactor, we can't bring the emperor back to life.
This calamity cannot be avoided or stopped, it will come when it comes. "
"Free and easy."
Yang Lin smiled.
He found this idea of one Buddha and two sects of masters very interesting.
It is understandable that one would obey orders and be willing to be a hawk or a dog...
Because the entire sect is in the hands of others. If they want to survive, live well, and let the sect flourish, they have no right to think about the hatred of family and country, or the differences between China and Yi.
To put it simply, if you have breasts, you are a mother.
Previous behavior undoubtedly confirms this.
While the emperor was still alive, they used all their strength to prevent the assassination, in order to achieve meritorious service.
When the hate was done and they could no longer protect their sect, they were able to adapt to the wind and become extremely fast.
Presumably, what these two people were thinking at this time was to retain their usefulness, dismiss their disciples, and hide in the mountains.
Because no matter what the fate of Yang Lin, the assassin.
After all, the emperor's death has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
Their fate has already been decided.
Failure to protect yourself will lead to death.
Others don't care what your reasons are. Letting the emperor die in front of your eyes is the biggest sin.
As long as the Manchus are still in power in this world, they will no longer have any chance of survival.
But it is very regrettable that the Manchus will really continue to make the decision in this world.
Even if a Han is invited to be the emperor, he will not be able to sit safely.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, war broke out and the Manchus entered the pass.
No matter whether it is fair or not, the world is obtained, but the people's minds are determined that this is a fait accompli.
There are such a large number of people who don't worry too much about who the emperor is. Is he a Han?
As long as you give them food and keep them alive, even if the emperor is a pig or a dog, he will live forever.
The needs of the people have always been that simple.
As for those people with lofty ideals and the underground forces who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, they actually had no place at all.
It’s okay to cause damage.
However, if they are really allowed to govern the world and win over the people, it is nonsense.
It doesn't matter if the emperor dies. Aren't the high officials still there?
Believe it or not, an emperor will be elected the next day.
Even if all the Aixinjueluo clan are dead, there are still Niuhulu clan, Wanyan clan, Tongjia Fucha clan, etc. who can still be emperors.
This is not to blame for their slavish surname.
But because.
These high-ranking officials had to ride horses, and their interests had been linked to the Manchu nobles.
It involves a century-old plan and family inheritance, and they absolutely do not want to see the Manchus fall.
This is true for everyone in the court, but what about the civilian scholars and wealthy businessmen?
In fact, this is also true.
Same thing.
If it were Han people who took over the world, how could they survive by selling their ancestors for glory and groveling.
In other words, how can we maintain our current wealth and splendor?
Are you stupid enough to let others settle the matter?
There really are such people, but they can't reach high-ranking positions. Those fools are staying among the anti-thief forces, and they can hardly survive.
Everything in the world is for profit.
All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit...
That's how ironic it is.
"I do have an idea."
Yang Lin turned his head and looked around, with a leisurely attitude.
It seems that he has not seen the strong bow and crossbow that is about to be triggered.
And Yinbu, the commander of the imperial army who was shouting sadly and attacking wildly with a sword...
Arrows whizzed past him one by one.
Nailed on the wooden walls and pillars, there is a sound.
"what idea?"
Taoist Zhaoyang's eyes lit up.
"Since the left and right cannot avoid disaster, why don't you two work with me to support a prince to ascend the throne...
No matter who comes to power, they can’t help but reuse those who have made meritorious deeds, right? "
Yang Lin said a word lightly, not caring whether the two agreed or not. He floated, put the long knife in Yinbu's hand, grabbed the knife in his hand, dragged the knife and slashed back, and a head rose into the sky.
The arrows then stabilized and became sparse.
Obviously, these elite soldiers also understood.
At this moment, even if they continue to fight desperately, no matter whether they can kill the assassin or not, they are already going to die.
Moreover, it is the most disgraceful way to die, bringing disaster to the whole family.
Therefore, there is no thought of attacking anymore.
Instead, he was thinking about how to escape and save his life.
"The donor's words are very kind."
The old monk Chengkong heard this and agreed.
Taoist priest Zhaoyang also showed a hint of joy on his face and thanked him: "Taoist friends are kind and thoughtful."
It's not that they didn't think of this.
It’s because of the people of this era, whether they are monks or members of the world.
They have all engraved the idea of loyalty to the emperor into their bones, and the saying of divine right of kings has even been integrated into the scriptures of various schools and sects.
Gods and Buddhas are of course supreme.
However, the king cannot be disobeyed.
When faith enters the heart, the true self is lost.
They have never thought about trampling everything on the ground, beating it to pieces, and changing it to heaven and earth.
This shows how powerful the cultivation of servility has been for thousands of years.
Even though these two people are in a famous mountain and are not under the jurisdiction of the government, deep down, they still don't put themselves in a high position. In fact, they are used to being under others.
On the contrary, those scholars and businessmen did this very well.
If it is for your own use, support it.
If it cannot be used for oneself, it is overthrown.
Everything is so easy.
The reason is also very simple.
They have no real faith, and most of them only believe in interests.
With interests at the forefront, there's nothing else we can't do.
…
After killing the emperor, Yang Lin did not escape in a hurry.
Just waiting for the incident to ferment.
Of course, there are still a few assassination missions waiting to be completed.
This is all he can do.
Facts have proved that the princes' defense strength is still far inferior to that of the emperor.
After the eldest elder brother Yinzhen, the second elder brother Yinzhen, the third elder brother Yinzhi, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen were assassinated in order, the Aixinjueluo family became full of turmoil overnight.
No one dares to show his face and spread rumors about competing for the position.
As a result, Yinxiang, the thirteenth son of the emperor, who was eight years old at the time, ascended to the throne with the support of the ministers.
At this time, he was still ill.
The first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to grant amnesty to the world.
Dai Yunsong's family, as well as the Zheng and Huang families were also released... and even their property was returned to them.
The world is still the same world.
Not based on anyone's will.
Except for the death of an emperor who claimed to be wise and powerful, and some princes who shouted for revenge, so that an eight-year-old baby ascended the throne, basically there was not much turmoil.
The dignitaries celebrated with each other, and their rights were greater.
Of course, the old plum blossom boxing master Zhou Hongyi did not continue to live in seclusion in Tangyin.
But on the day after Dai Yunsong and Zhou Yumei were released from prison, they left a letter and left without a trace.
The rumor to the outside world is that the old man has ascended to the immortal world and will never be seen again in the human world.
There are also rumors that the Qing court was liquidating afterwards and sent a large number of troops and experts to besiege...
The old master of Plum Blossom Boxing was outnumbered and died on the spot, his bones shattered and ashes scattered;
An even more bizarre theory is that the old man was struck by thunder because he had committed the great evil deed of regicide and was punished by heaven.
There is no doubt that these statements all come from the mouths of ordinary people, and what they love to hear most is these weird things.
It doesn't matter who is the good guy or the bad guy.
On that day, when Cai, Wang, Meng, the children of the Zhou family, and their son-in-law arrived at Zhoujiazhuang in Tangyin, they did not see any familiar figure sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.
All I saw was a piece of rice paper left on the table in the study, with the ink marks still fresh, and no one was there.
It's written on the paper.
"Even if a hero dies, his bones will remain fragrant, and he will not be ashamed to be a hero in the world.
Who can write your Excellency, Baishou Taixuan Sutra...
