"Don't mess around. We can discuss this. I can support you and get the entire temple to support you..."
Master Jinghong suddenly thought of his own usefulness. In the past, he was unwilling to talk to Prince Zhennan because of his identity as the national teacher and the abbot of Tianlong Temple. Therefore, even if he despised a prince of a country, Prince Zhennan could only swallow the bitter fruit and could not do anything about it. But at this moment, Master Jinghong was begging him, and Prince Zhennan's laughter was heard immediately.
"A high-ranking monk from the Tianlong Temple could actually say such a thing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it at all. It seems that the boy and girl in this room are truly your bloodline. Your junior brother's actions have caused many people to lose faith in you. I didn't expect you to do the same."
To be honest, the Prince of Zhennan also felt that his psychological construction had collapsed at this moment. Although he was not very devout to Buddhism, being in such an environment still had some influence on him. At this moment, the monk of Tianlong Temple became like this, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The guards around him could not bear it anymore. Many of them had their eyes as big as cows. They originally thought it was a misunderstanding, but now it seems that this is not a misunderstanding at all, but we thought too well of the monk of Tianlong Temple.
"Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? Your Highness, it's useless for you to say this now. I also want to save myself. Please give me a chance. I will naturally return the world to you in the future."
Master Jinghong couldn't care less now. He even regretted running away. If he hadn't left Tianlong Temple, what would have happened even if he had captured this family? Was he really going to force himself to be linked to this family? As long as he didn't admit it, this matter would not be accomplished.
Now look what happened. The abbot of Tianlong Temple ran to a private residence in the middle of the night, and so many people saw it. In addition to the people from the Zhennan Palace, many people from the surrounding area also came, some of them were even well-known people. The Zhennan Prince would definitely not leave him any chance to do this.
Master Jinghong had already seen that the King of Zhennan was not going to reconcile tonight, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. Could it be that the King of Zhennan looked down on the power in his hands? The power of religion could sometimes change a lot.
"Master, there's no need to worry so much. I don't need your support. You're well aware of my strength. As long as you don't support my brother, victory will be mine sooner or later. I should clear the name of the people of the world. They've lived in this turbid world for too long. I, myself included, was almost deceived by you."
What the King of Zhennan said was true. If we only talk about the strength of the two brothers, he is much more powerful than his brother who is the king. But it is precisely because of the support of the monks in Tianlong Temple that he cannot act casually. Because the influence of the sect in this country is too great, even if he wants to take action, he has to take these things into consideration.
Now there is no need to consider these things. More and more people are gathering around, including some high-ranking officials of the court. When they saw this scene, they instantly understood what was going on. There was basically no need for Prince Zhennan to explain. This was similar to Master Jingren. The monks in Tianlong Temple all had families and a son and a daughter. What else is there to say about such people?
If you had given birth to children before becoming a monk, no one would say anything. You could only say that you had cut off worldly ties and were willing to serve the Buddha. But looking at the ages of these children, it is obvious that they happened a few years ago. At that time, you were already the abbot of Tianlong Temple. It is clear that you had broken your vow of chastity.
"The evil monk Jinghong violated Buddhist precepts..."
This eminent monk had already become a demon, and the Prince of Zhennan's voice was incredibly loud. Everything before him was proof enough, so there was no need to say anything more. If this family had no connection to Jinghong, why would they come here so late at night? Could the Prince of Zhennan have coerced him into coming? That was unlikely, considering the numerous checkpoints along the way. If this was true coercion, Master Jinghong only needed to say a word, and the Prince of Zhennan would have been in trouble.
Several palace guards also rushed over after hearing the news. When they heard what Prince Zhennan said, their faces changed drastically. They no longer had time to listen to everything he said, because listening or not listening would have the same result. They had to return to the palace as quickly as possible and report everything here to His Majesty the King so that His Majesty the King could prepare in advance.
For the subjects of Nanzhao Kingdom, tonight was indeed an unacceptable night. Many people had already fallen asleep, but when they heard the neighbors bustling around like they were going to a big market, they put on their clothes again and ran out. They heard the most shocking news in their lives: Master Jinghong actually had a child, and the child was born after he became the abbot of Tianlong Temple.
Many people were crying loudly towards the sky. This was the result after the idol in their hearts collapsed. They had believed in Master Jinghong for such a long time, but they didn't expect that the result would be like this in the end. They could still imagine the scene of Master Jinghong preaching Buddhism to them, but they didn't expect that he was such a person, saying one thing in front of them and another behind their backs.
That night, some radical people came to Tianlong Temple and threw stones at it. Some people even threw torches into it. If the government officials had not arrived quickly, Tianlong Temple would probably have been reduced to ashes by dawn the next day, just like Shangqing Temple.
The common people from all over the country could not bear it any longer, and many of them were now preparing to attack the Tianlong Temple. Therefore, His Majesty the King had already issued an order that all traffic and main roads leading into the royal city were blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or exit without special circumstances. All people had to return to their villages.
The Prince of Zhennan and his ministers were invited to the palace hall. Looking at his proud younger brother, His Majesty the King wanted to strike him with a sword. Is this what you want? Is this how you want to deal with me? If Master Jinghong's faith were to collapse, do you know the magnitude of the impact on the entire country? It's already apparent now; many people are out of control. If this continues, I'm afraid the country will be destroyed...
