Chapter 395 The prologue begins(2/2)
Therefore, in terms of the origin of martial arts, Cihang Jingzhai cannot be regarded as a Buddhist sect, but more like a branch of the Demonic Sect, and Cihang Sword Code is also a martial arts derived from Tian Mo Ce.
Cihang Jingzhai in this area is not considered to have the right roots and Miaohong. It is significantly different from Shaolin, Jing Nian Zen, and Western Tantric Buddhism.
But Qin Mengyao, Shi Feixuan's senior sister, was different. When Qin Mengyao was sixteen years old, Yan Jing'an asked her to go to the Jing Nian Zen Sect alone to learn Buddhist martial arts in order to better integrate into the inner circle of Buddhism.
Within three years from that day, Master Lingjin, the host of the Jing Nian Zen Sect, not only personally taught Qin Mengyao martial arts, but also let Qin Mengyao read the martial arts books in the Jing Nian Zen Sect and the notes of past ancestors. Although her name is Ci
He is a descendant of Hang Jing Zhai, but possesses the most transcendent martial arts strengths of the two sects of Ci Hang Jing Zhai and Jing Nian Zen.
From then on, Qin Mengyao became the core figure of the next generation in Buddhism. It was also from this time that Cihang Jingzhai entered the core circle of the authentic Buddhism.
Therefore, Shi Fei Xuan, who practiced Cihang Sword Code alone, was actually just the whetstone left by Cihang Jingzhai to Qin Mengyao, Cihang Jingzhai's abandoned son, and someone Yang Qingyuan could win over.
These secrets and plans could be explained for a long time. Yang Qingyuan didn't explain much, turned around and walked back to the study.
Tomorrow's court meeting is the most important thing at the moment. As for relying on the master's concubine to communicate and divide the Buddhist sect, that will happen later.
----
And the departing Master Fei Xuan was not without any disturbances in her heart.
Although I don’t know where Qin Mengyao went specifically, he did go to Jizhou. Is it true that as Yang Qingyuan said, the master also placed a bet on King Zhao?
Then what does this mean to me?!
But after a while, Shi Feixuan put aside the distracting thoughts in her heart.
After all, he is from a Buddhist background, and his specialty is to meditate and concentrate.
----------
The next day coincided with the imperial meeting.
Officials of all sizes in Beijing gathered again to discuss state affairs.
While the lower-ranking officials were meeting according to the rules, the country's top bosses were already planning the eight discussions after the court meeting.
Today's imperial meeting is the same as usual, and the real drama is about to begin.
Although Zhou Mingsheng's case is at the bottom and is not yet clear, due to the prince's previous efforts to win over ministers, there are almost no people at the top who are unaware of Zhou Mingsheng's case.
Everyone is waiting for the dispersion of the dynasty, and that will be the beginning of today's dynastic struggle.
At the same time, this battle also foreshadows His Majesty's attitude.
Emperor Zhou was already old, and his long years of dealing with government affairs had worn down his body.
The emperor's dragon body was not in good condition. This was the consensus of the Zhou Dynasty's senior officials. As time went by, everyone was waiting for the emperor to confirm his successor.
Only by confirming the heir as soon as possible can these people feel relieved.
Otherwise, if something suddenly happened to Emperor Zhou's body and his successor was undecided, the center of the imperial court would inevitably be in chaos, and King Zhao of Yancheng in the north would also take advantage of the situation.
Since ancient times, the establishment of heirs has generally been based on the establishment of elders and virtuous people.
There is a major premise here: this elder or virtuous person is the legitimate son!
In other words, in general dynasties, only legitimate sons are eligible to participate in the competition for the throne.
The same is true for the Great Zhou Dynasty. According to the ancestral teachings of Taizu, direct heirs are established.
That is to say, when the eldest son is still alive, inheritance by a concubine is legally untenable.
Emperor Zhou was the eldest son of Taizu, and Emperor Zhou himself was indeed outstanding. Therefore, Emperor Zhou was the only heir during Taizu's dynasty.
Although Zhao Wang and his ilk were excellent, they were not within the scope of Taizu's consideration at all.
Emperor Zhou was not only the legitimate son and eldest son of Taizu, but also the best among the princes. Therefore, no one could compete with him for the position of crown prince.
But in the generation of Emperor Zhou, the situation was different.
There were three choices before Emperor Zhou.
The Crown Prince, the King of Chu, and the King of Chu’s younger brother, the King of Wei.
The prince was born to the late queen, and the king of Chu and the king of Wei were born to the current queen. According to etiquette and law, all three of them are legitimate sons.
The prince was naturally virtuous and courteous, but the King of Chu was no less generous. Although he was inferior to the prince in political methods, he was good at military strategy and decisive.
As for King Wei, although he was still young, he also showed amazing talents.
As a result, there was suspense about the whereabouts of the throne.
This has always been a headache for Emperor Zhou, and it has also been something that all the ministers have been struggling with.
After so many years, this fog may be cleared today.
The power of the King of Chu has been greatly damaged and he can no longer compete. If the prince can win in today's matter, it means that Emperor Zhou already likes the prince!
