Chapter 1639 The Great Buddha Temple Incident!

? Chapter 1639

Wang Chong held the lark in his palm, and quickly took out the letter from it.

Looking at the familiar and beautiful words on the letter paper, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of Wang Chong's mouth. Thinking back carefully, there has been no contact between him and Bai Siling for a long time.

"It's rare that this girl thinks of me, I don't know what it is!"

Wang Chong thought about it in his heart, but he just glanced at it. Wang Chong frowned slightly, and his face suddenly changed slightly.

Bai Siling exchanged a few words in the letter, and then mentioned one thing, it is said that the eldest prince Li Ying recently built a big Buddhist temple outside the city, this project used thousands of craftsmen, and a large number of people were transferred from various states and governments Golden nanmu and various precious woods, and the progress of the project is extremely fast, and it is expected to be completely completed in six days.

At that time, the First Prince will personally go to the Great Buddha Temple to write an inscription and preside over the rites, and invite the Bai family to the Great Buddha Temple to observe the ceremony.

The Bai family is still not sure about paying attention, but if they go, they will send Bai Siling as a representative to attend. Because the current atmosphere between the government and the opposition is slightly sensitive, Bai Siling specifically asked Wang Chong's opinion on this matter.

Whether to go to the Bai family or not, Bai Siling wanted Wang Chong to give her some advice on this matter.

To build Buddhist temples or Taoist temples, when the temples are completed, invite some aristocratic families or local wealthy departments to watch the ceremony. It's called Guanli, but it's actually to donate sesame oil money. During the construction of the temple, a lot of money was spent. Most of the people who went to watch the ceremony were either rich or expensive. When donating sesame oil money, most of the amount was not small, which could also make up for part of the expenses.

Although this letter was written by Bai Siling, it was actually what the Bai family wanted to ask Wang Chong. After all, the relationship between Wang Chong and the First Prince was not on good terms. Many people knew that the First Prince was furious during the picket incident last time.

But Wang Chong didn't care about this.

"Did it start so soon?"

From the letter, Wang Chong slowly raised his head and looked up, his brows could not help but wrinkled tightly.

Big Buddha Temple!

How could Wang Chong not remember this matter? The First Prince invited almost all the aristocratic families in the capital to participate in the name of watching the ceremony. At that time, no one thought much about it. They thought it was similar to the previous Buddhist temple watching the ceremony, but this once,

It is the eldest prince who built the Buddhist temple.

The sesame oil money that everyone needs to donate must be more than before, but not many people know that this matter is not as simple as they think.

Not many people thought about how, as the eldest prince, he could build a Buddhist temple for no reason, and even personally inscribed the Buddhist temple, and presided over the opening ceremony of the temple. One must know that the eldest prince does not believe in Buddhism!

For the First Prince, watching the ceremony is fake, but in fact he wants to use this great Buddhist temple to win people's hearts, and at the same time to identify how many aristocratic families in the entire capital really support him.

Not many people would have thought that right after the viewing ceremony that day, all the aristocratic families who received invitations but did not participate in the temple opening ceremony were all on the first prince's blacklist.

Moreover, he was extremely retaliated and suppressed by the First Prince afterwards.

Many aristocratic families that lasted for hundreds of years were crushed to pieces by the eldest prince using the power of the court due to various excuses in the following time.

In Datang, these aristocratic families not only represent rich families, but also powerful forces. Hundreds of years of management have made them integrate with Datang itself.

The First Prince's efforts to destroy all the aristocratic families who did not submit to him were equivalent to destroying the power of the Great Tang itself.

This also paved the way for future disasters.

Thinking back carefully, in the entire Three Kings Rebellion, if there is a symbolic event that represents the Tang Dynasty officially entering the stage of internal fighting and suicide, then it must be the Great Buddha Temple incident.

Even Wang Chong didn't expect that this matter would come so quickly. In an instant, Wang Chong's expression became extremely dignified.

The Big Buddha Temple incident seems simple, but in the future, it is unknown how many people will be killed and their lives will be lost.

In any case, we must find a way to stop this matter.

As if responding to Wang Chong's heart, the next moment, the resounding voice of the Stone of Destiny sounded in Wang Chong's mind:

"Pay attention to the official start of the special event, the Rebellion of the Three Kings! The host has three months to stop this incident with all his strength. From now on, every family in the capital will be wiped out, and the host will be deducted 10,000 destiny energy points. Conversely, if The host can change this disaster, after the Three Kings Rebellion is over, the host will reward 20,000 Destiny Energy Points for every family he saves, and so on, there is no limit!"

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Chong's eyes were filled with blood, and a huge swastika suddenly appeared out of thin air, then quickly shrank, turned into a symbol, and was branded into the Stone of Destiny.

Feeling the changes in his mind, Wang Chong fell into deep thought.

"Report!"

Just a few moments later, a Jin Wuwei from a foreign palace hurried in:

"Your Highness, the Zhang, Li, Huang, and Lu families have sent a message saying that they have something important to report to His Highness, His Highness, please make a decision!"

The guard lowered his head, with a respectful expression, while speaking, he handed over the letter in his hand.

Wang Chong didn't speak. He seemed to feel something in his heart. He took the letter and just glanced at it. Wang Chong frowned. Unsurprisingly, Zhang, Li, Huang, and Lu also received the invitation from the First Prince.

These aristocratic families have close contacts with Wang Chong, and everyone in the world knows that a considerable part of Wang Chong's Iron City and the steel modules that made great contributions in the Battle of Talas were forged by these aristocratic families.

It is impossible for the eldest prince not to know this, but he still sent invitations to the great families of Zhang, Li, Huang, and Lu. Obviously he did it deliberately, and the intention may not be so simple.

Wang Chong had a feeling in his heart that if this matter was not handled properly, the impact might be much more serious than he had imagined.

"Come here! Pass my order to ask the aristocratic families who have a cooperative relationship with us, and ask how many of them have received the invitation from the First Prince?"

Wang Chong said suddenly, with an extremely serious expression.

And just a few hours later, Wang Chong received feedback, and the number was much greater than he had imagined.

A big Buddhist temple, so that all the aristocratic families in the capital have to make a choice, follow the eldest prince, or be against him.

...

At the same time, in the East Palace, everyone from the first prince's lineage gathered together.

"Have all the invitations been sent?"

The ghost king in the hall suddenly spoke, but his eyes were on a staff member under the command of the First Prince.

"All have been sent. In the capital, as long as the assets exceed 10,000 guan, we have received our invitations. However, although the invitations have been sent out, the Great Buddha Temple has not yet been completed, so it is not known yet. They will How many people will be attending, and will they be attending?"

"That's enough."

The ghost king said lightly:

"Then it's not your business to worry about."

The King of Ghosts lowered his head as he spoke, and continued to look at the scroll in his hand. His whole body was full of gods, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing the ghost king's attitude, everyone around fell silent. Although the person in front of him was the last one to arrive, beside the eldest prince, he has faintly become the leader of the crowd, possessing a status that no one else can match.

"Senior, I have a question!"

At this moment, the First Prince suddenly spoke.

After summoning the ghost king, he handed over almost everything to the ghost king, but that didn't mean he didn't ask anything or intervene.

"Will we build a Buddhist temple this time, can it really play the role you said? And... other aristocratic families are nothing, but I have seen that your list seems to include Zhang, Li, Huang, Lu, etc. An aristocratic family that has a close relationship with the foreign king. With their relationship with the foreign king, can they really rely on this king?"

No matter how resplendent a big Buddhist temple is, if all the Buddha statues are painted with golden bodies, the money it consumes is just a small amount of money to the eldest prince, which is insignificant at all. On the contrary, it was the ghost king who said that through a big Buddhist temple, all the big families in the capital could be drawn over, which made the eldest prince feel unreal.

Or a little too illusory. You must know that their opponent is not an ordinary person. If they can defeat him so easily, they won't be so embarrassed by him before.

"Oh, Your Highness is already the regent, do you still have such immature thoughts? What does it matter if you are not sincere? Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land? Don't they dare to fight with you?" Your Highness is wrong."

"And your Highness, don't overestimate the relationship between them and the foreign king. After all, they are just a business cooperation relationship. Your highness will not tell me that the relationship between these aristocratic families and the foreign king is already good, and they are willing to transfer the entire family. Is it to the point of risking your wealth and life?"

The ghost king said indifferently, he didn't even lift his head when he was speaking, and never took his eyes off the lines of small words on the scroll in his hand, it seemed that the eldest prince asked him a question that was really meaningless and not worth answering.

"One side is the king of a foreign land, and the other side is the future heir of the entire Tang Dynasty. Your Highness, it's you. How would you choose?"

After the Ghost King finished his last sentence, the entire East Palace was suddenly silent, and for a split second, everyone's eyes lit up.

good! There are too many things that everyone is worried about, and Wang Chong's sharpness is too strong. Instead, he ignored a simple fact for a while.

How many people in the world are willing to risk their wealth and life to fight against the future emperor of the empire for one person?

"Your Highness, prepare to wait for the good news!"

The ghost king said calmly without raising his head.

In the main hall, a smile slowly appeared on the face of the eldest prince.

"Jin Youshi! Did you hear what the ghost king said before? From now on, I want you to monitor the movements of the foreign king and all the great families in the entire capital at any time, and report as soon as there is any news!"

The First Prince suddenly turned his head and looked at another figure not far away.

There were two long knives stuck in the back of the man, and a ferocious sea dongqing was parked on his shoulder. His face was dark and prey, and his temperament seemed to be very different from that of the Central Plains people. He was clearly a Goguryeo.

"Your Highness, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will report to His Highness the first time for any troubles in the foreign palace, including any changes in the capital, in every detail. If there is any mistake, Your Highness will punish me!"

Kim Woo-seok bowed and said with a accent unique to Goguryeo. When he was speaking, his whole body, gestures and gestures revealed a strong confidence. It seems that there is nothing in this world that he cannot do.

"Okay! Don't worry, as long as you give all your allegiance to Bengong, I will definitely do what I promised you! You will not only gain huge wealth, but also a huge power that you can never imagine in Goguryeo!"

The First Prince said.

"Thank you Your Highness!"

Jin Youshi looked startled and immediately bowed and knelt down.
