The thought that if the Chen Dynasty disappeared one day, the temples outside Jiankang Prefecture would look like this, which made Lechang feel a little uncomfortable. In her mind before, these temples were more symbols of the prosperity of the Southern Dynasties.
It is also a place of pilgrimage for the dignitaries of these southern dynasty families.
But at this moment, seeing the dilapidated scene of the temple, Lechang felt that perhaps in the minds of the nobles of the Southern Dynasty, these mythical theories of reincarnation were too seriously taken.
In the face of the raging war, Buddha couldn't even protect his temple, let alone all living beings. What's more, Lechang also knew in his heart that the foundation of Buddhism lies in reincarnation and salvation, which is to bring blessings to those who are suffering, but now he trusts him even more
The Buddha's are those who have great wealth.
In their minds, how many people really agree with the Buddhist statement that all living beings are equal?
More importantly, who knows how much money and material resources were wasted in the process of building these temples? If all these were transformed into settling refugees, rectifying the administration, and expanding the strength of the army, would Nanchen be the same as it is now?
Different? At least Lechang knew very well that Nanchen would become stronger.
It turns out that she is just a little girl who likes to indulge in poetry and books and her own world. However, when she was inadvertently involved in this trend and couldn't help but get deeper and deeper, Lechang just...
She was surprised to find that this dynasty that she had thought was a barrier for many years was actually so vulnerable.
And the figure of the father who should have the world firmly in his hands has also changed from the tall and burly figure when Lechang was young to the old man now. But behind this figure, whether it is the cowardly Chen Shubao or
, how can the surly Chen Shuling have the qualifications and ambition to take the position of overlord?
There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. These temples are like tarsal maggots, constantly sucking the essence and power of this huge dynasty; and this is only a small part of the countless maggots and tumors. Lechang does not have any now.
I naively thought that what I saw was everything.
In just twenty years, the entire Dachen has been in a state of decay, completely unlike a country that has just been established and is still striving to become stronger. The intrigues at the top will only make this country decline rapidly in just a few generations.
collapse.
When the soldiers and people below are fighting simply to live, will they still be loyal to Da Chen?
Seeing the disdain that Li Xingchen and even many Nanchen soldiers had for Chen Shubao, and seeing Chen Shuling who would not hesitate to use any means to kill Chen Shubao, Lechang only felt confused. At this time, she even wanted to hide in her study.
Among them, I would rather curl up in a corner and smell the fragrance of books that I am so familiar with, and be in a daze, than shiver in the wind and rain of this mortal world.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to push open the door that had been dusty for who knows how long, and looked curiously at Lechang, who was standing in a daze on the steps covered with grass.
Although half of one side of the wall has collapsed, and although the plaque with the four words "Mahatma Palace" has fallen into the grass next to it, and the four golden words on it have long lost their original grandeur, at least
As the core of the entire temple, this is also the strongest place to be built. It can also provide a shelter from the wind and rain for the two survivors walking through the mountains and forests.
"Although this place is a bit gray, it is much better than the previous cave." Li Xingchen reached out and waved away the dust flying in the sky. The branches of a big tree had already hung down along the hole in the roof, covering half of the Buddha's body.
It was blocked, and the vines hung down along the branches and fell onto the altar table, forming a strange scene.
Just as Li Xingchen was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly realized that Lechang behind him seemed to be a little depressed, and he couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong?"
Lechang was startled for a moment and shook his head hastily: "No...it's nothing."
Li Xingchen was silent for a moment and just nodded slightly. This girl is a rare smart woman among the Nanchen royal family. Otherwise, she would not be so respected and loved by Chen Xu. But logically speaking, Lechang should not be involved in this dispute in the court.
middle.
After all, it is not as free and open as the Tang Dynasty. It has given women a lot of rights and freedoms to fight for freedom. There have been women like Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, etc. who are familiar to future generations. They either succeeded or failed, but they all left their mark in history.
A female politician who has made a mark.
Therefore, as a wealthy person, what Lechang should do more is to read some poems and books every day, talk and play with his sisters, and wait for the day when he gets married, so that he can live a peaceful life and enjoy the glory and wealth of the royal family.
In fact, it was Li Xingchen who used brothers Chen Shujian and Chen Shucheng to do some tricks to make them misunderstand. Coupled with the cooperation of Donggong Fu Yi and others, he finally dragged Lechang into this rolling tide.
Lechang could personally feel the cruelty of the life-and-death struggle in the imperial court, and could also see with her own eyes the decay of the imperial court and the unwillingness of the soldiers below, but she could not really come up with any countermeasures to change it. Even Chen Xu did not listen to her persuasion.
, when it comes to this kind of pain and helplessness, the culprit is not Li Xingchen.
However, Li Xingchen did not want to explain the ins and outs of this matter to her in detail. He did not conceal his ambitions from Lechang at this time, nor did he conceal the intentions of Xiao Shilian, Xiao Mohe, Pei Zilie and others soon after. Moreover, Li Xingchen believed that this
It is certainly not just my own ambition.
Three hundred years of chaos were so long that it was suffocating.
There are too many people who want to end it all, and what Li Xingchen has to do is to lead the rolling tide in the direction it should go.
Li Xingchen never believed that Nanchen was a new dynasty full of fighting spirit and ambition. The fighting spirit and passion of the country's upper-class rulers had actually been exhausted in the chaos of Jingzhou nine years ago. Whether it was Wu Mingche
No matter Xu Ling, what they care more about is their own interests after all.
As for Xiao Mohe, perhaps Wu Mingche realized that the fighting spirit of Nanchen's army was getting less and less, so Xiao Mohe was needed to lead this army to achieve more victories.
However, Li Xingchen was never naive enough to believe that one or two victories could reverse all this, and just as he thought, the struggle for power between Chen Shuling and the East Palace was still in full swing. This time, even the prince's guard, who was the main guard of the East Palace, was
They all drew their swords and faced each other.
The attack on Chen Shubao naturally means that there will be more waves in the Southern Chen Dynasty and the public. Who will be the enemy of Nanchen's army at that time? Is it the Northern Zhou Dynasty or our own people?
Fundamentally speaking, Nanchen was just a continuation of the Southern Dynasties. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this was just a dynasty that had just been established for more than 20 years, but all the thinking and systems of this dynasty were still inherited from the Southern Dynasties for three hundred years.
