Daming Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The emperor listened to Zhang Banban's report with a gloomy expression.

"Zhang Banban, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect is really unscrupulous. I asked Wei Ziyun to warn Heimuya before and also told Lin Lang that they still destroyed Northern Shaolin."

"Is the next step to destroy Wudang Mountain and unify the world? What happens after that? Can the world still satisfy them?"

After all, Ming Dynasty is not Dali, and there are no martial arts masters in the Ming Dynasty royal family. Zhu Wuwu was once good, but there was only one Zhu Wuwu, and he was already dead.

Originally, there were many eunuchs around the little emperor, and all of them were quite capable, but they all died due to internal fighting.

Now except for Zhang Banban, the Ming Emperor found no one available.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty hoped to control the world, rather than let the world of Ming Dynasty disappear completely.

He knew very well that although a martial arts master could not say he could compete with thousands of troops, he could easily assassinate the commander-in-chief of thousands of troops.

The generals of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty all had mediocre martial arts skills, so the imperial court sent some eunuchs to serve as supervisors to protect the generals and ensure that they would not rebel.

He cannot let the world become more chaotic. These last two sects of the world must both exist and neither one can disappear. Only in this way can the balance be maintained and not threaten the Zhu family royal family.

The old eunuch lowered his head: "Your Majesty, the Wudang Sect has Zhang Sanfeng, so the Sun and Moon Demon Sect cannot be destroyed. But the Wudang Sect only has one Zhang Sanfeng, so it is impossible to destroy the Sun and Moon Demon Sect."

"Now the Sun and Moon Demon Sect is expanding towards the Song Dynasty. Isn't this what Your Majesty wants to see?"

Previously, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty hoped that the Sun Moon Demon Sect would expand to other countries, disrupt the other country's sight, create opportunities for the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time remove all the general soldiers from the ten towns.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty looked at the old eunuch: "Zhang Banban, the Wudang sect really doesn't want to serve the court? I can make Zhang Zhenren the real protector of the country!"

With the support of the court, the Wudang Sect can compete with the Sun and Moon Demon Sect. Will the Wudang Sect be unmoved?

Zhang Banban shook his head: "Zhang Sanfeng's ambition is not here. The late emperor once wanted to make him the real protector of the country, but he also refused."

"Your Majesty, in fact, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect can also find ways to divide it. The strongest member of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect is their right-hand envoy, but the leader is a woman."

"Although I heard that the teaching director Yingying is the woman of the right envoy, which man is willing to be behind a woman? Wouldn't he want three wives and four concubines?"

Emperor Ming's eyes lit up and he knew what to do.

…

Lin Mansion.

Lin Lang was behind Xiao He, charging hard.

As soon as he got home this morning, Xiao He was wearing a nun's robe and wandering in front of him.

He had just dealt with the monks in Northern Shaolin, and he met the female monk Xiao He. How could he bear this?

After teaching Xiao He that he couldn't get up, Lin Lang went to the living room. He heard the return of the Five Poison Boy.

"I've met your envoy. Your envoy, the letter has been sent to Wudang Master Zhang. He said he owes you a favor. When your martial arts reaches a bottleneck, you can go to him and he will help you sort out your martial arts."

Lin Lang looked in the direction of the roof mountain. Zhang Sanfeng should already know that he had broken through to the realm of heaven and man. And with the confidence to help him sort out his martial arts after he hit a bottleneck, Zhang Sanfeng was definitely not just in the early stage of the realm of heaven and man.

Could it be said that he has reached the peak of the Heavenly Realm?

"Okay, I understand, you go and have a rest."

The Five Poison Boy did not leave, but continued: "Right envoy, Master Zhang has taught his subordinates a martial art of nourishing qi, but they have only learned part of it."

It was only two or three days of practicing on the road, but Wudu Boy still felt a slight change in his body.

Although there is not much change, if he persists all year round, maybe in a few decades, he will have the opportunity to make further progress in martial arts.

Unlike now, they may not live in a few decades.

Lin Lang smiled: "Zhenzhen Zhang passed it on to you. Just practice it hard. It will definitely be good for you. You are lucky."

He waved his hand and asked the Five Poison Boys to leave.

Zhang Sanfeng is a real health master. He really benefited from letting Wudu Boy go there.

"Zhang Sanfeng is so polite. After I surpassed him, I was embarrassed to attack the Wu-Dang Clan."

The reason why he sent the news to the Wudang Sect was that he did not want to fight with the Wudang Sect for the time being. At present, the Sun and Moon God Sect did not have the ability to dominate the world as a single sect.

If the Wudang Sect is successfully instigated, Lin Lang wonders if he can escape, but Heimuya will suffer heavy losses.

Even if he could destroy Wudang Mountain, it would only be a lose-lose situation for both parties and allow other Jianghu sects to benefit.

In addition, he also knew that Zhao Min and others escaped very quickly, so he was too lazy to chase them. It would be easiest for the Wudang Clan to notify the Mingjiao to intercept them, and by the way, Tang Wenliang could also test out the reality of the Mingjiao.

And the Mingjiao can definitely intercept it. After all, Zhao Min has an undercover agent from the Mingjiao beside him.

Not only did it interfere with the affairs of the Ruyang Prince's Palace, but he also used the Wudang Sect and the Mingjiao to clarify that this incident had nothing to do with the Sun and Moon Sect, and even gained a favor from Zhang Sanfeng.

Earn blood!

Humming a little tune, Lin Lang left home.

As soon as I arrived at the Jinyiwei Commander's Office, before I even entered, I saw a young eunuch trotting over: "Master Lin, Master Lin, Your Majesty has summoned you to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters."

Lin Lang knew that he should be asking about the destruction of Northern Shaolin by the Sun and Moon God Sect.

Soon after arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Ming asked directly: "Lin Qing's family, the Sun and Moon Sect destroyed Northern Shaolin. Why didn't you report this to me?"

Lin Lang spread his hands: "The incident happened suddenly. After receiving the news, I went to Songshan. Unfortunately, I went late. They had already decided the winner."

"Northern Shaolin tried to contact foreign martial arts forces, join forces to destroy the Sun Moon God Sect, and continue to dominate the world of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, it is not strong enough."

"But this thing is actually a good thing."

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty stared at Lin Lang: "Tell me, it is a good thing that Northern Shaolin was destroyed? That is Northern Shaolin. Do you know how many lay disciples of Northern Shaolin there are in Ming Dynasty?"

Even on the court side, there are many masters who are lay disciples of Northern Shaolin.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are also many small Jianghu aristocratic families, local wealthy gentry, etc., all from Northern Shaolin.

Now that Northern Shaolin has been destroyed, the followers of the Sun Moon Sect are hunting down the monks of Northern Shaolin. Is this a good thing?

Lin Lang said seriously: "Of course it's a good thing."

"There are thousands of monks in Northern Shaolin. This is just one temple in Northern Shaolin. They also control hundreds of temples in the world."

"Now that those monks are gone, these temples can be returned to the imperial court."

"The temple also controls some fields. Many of those fields are hidden fields, at least tens of thousands of acres. Without paying land taxes, they can now be taken back to the court."

"In the future, people will not give money for sesame oil to those temples. They can be used to buy other daily necessities to improve their lives."

"Furthermore, Northern Shaolin actually hid many imperial prisoners. They changed their legal names and said they were no longer the same people. But how can the victims who were murdered in the past be redressed? How can we embody the laws of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, the existence of these monks is nothing more than blood-sucking leechworms lying on the people and the court. Without them, there will be no harm to the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Ming was stunned: "There are so many hidden fields in Northern Shaolin?"

Hidden fields are unregistered properties. They are not using loopholes in court rules to avoid taxes. They are completely tax evasion!

He once thought that those civil servants or the families behind them had a lot of hidden land, so the Ministry of Revenue did not receive much tax revenue every year.

He had to spend all the royal family's inner treasury. Even if the local government had to do something, it often needed to ask local gentry for donations.

If there are more hidden fields, whether it is handed over to the Imperial Mansion for management or simply sold, it can greatly alleviate the court's financial dilemma.

For example, he could spend more money to replace the ordnance of the soldiers in the border towns, making the Ming Dynasty's military stronger, so that it can defend the territory and even expand the territory!

He also knew that those temples never paid taxes, but he never knew that there were tens of thousands of acres of hidden farmland.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that these monks did not do anything for the Ming Dynasty. They did not join the army to protect their homes and the country, they did not pay taxes, and they may not even work. Instead, they deceived the people into making offerings to them, and yet they were so rich.

Many prisoners of the imperial court have hid in temples. If they can be caught now, they will definitely win the hearts of the people.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the destruction of Northern Shaolin is really not a bad thing.

"Lin Qing's family, but what about the Northern Shaolin lay disciples who are in the imperial court? Now they are all shouting that the Sun and Moon God Sect is a demonic sect and they want the imperial court to destroy them."

Lin Lang spread his hands: "Whoever shouted to let go, they are not doing it for the court, but for their own selfish interests. Let the court be their tool, and it is not a bad thing for such an official to die."

Those lay disciples of Northern Shaolin are all still alive. If you still want to dance, then go and be buried with Northern Shaolin.

The reason they were clamoring now was simply because they were worried that the Sun Moon God Sect would destroy them all, but Lin Lang really didn't take those people seriously.

But if someone really wants to die, he can send someone to bury him.

"Your Majesty, the Sun Moon God Sect will not touch the Wudang Sect again. Now the two sects check and balance each other, which is just right to maintain the stability of the world."

"Furthermore, the Sun and Moon God Sect is definitely not a demonic sect as those people said. They are now engaged in many legitimate businesses such as security guards, money and food, etc. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they have touched the interests of the Northern Shaolin disciples who originally did these things, and they are being banned.

Fraudulent slander.”

"If the Sun and Moon God Sect disappears, then Jianghu sects from other countries will inevitably expand, and then big riots will occur."

"Jinyiwei is going to take over those small temples. Even if they are used as warehouses or to house some refugees during disaster years, it is better than giving them to monks, or they can be sold directly for cash."

Although the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty still felt that something was not right, why would the destruction of Northern Shaolin not bring any harm to the Ming Dynasty?

But it is also clear that the Sun and Moon God Sect cannot disappear, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will not have the power to deter the martial arts sects in other countries.

"Is the Sun Moon Divine Sect unwilling to accept the imperial edict? Have you asked their right envoy for his opinion?"

Lin Lang looked at the Ming Emperor: "Shouldn't we ask the leader? Their envoys don't seem to care much about the religious affairs."

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty looked at Lin Lang: "I know that you can contact the right envoy of the Sun and Moon Sect. If he is willing to help the Sun and Moon Sect join the imperial court, I can give him the position of leader of the martial arts alliance, and I can also let him directly form a bodyguard.
