The era of all the princes

Chapter 182 The Prince of Buddhism!

In the wind of seizing the heirloom, Guangming Temple was suddenly hit hard.
Jiang Sheng's heart was so hot that he would be sorry for the energy of this trip if he didn't intervene!

"I haven't been here for a long time, so I only know something about it." Liu Yan said in a low voice, "The main forces for seizing the throne are the three forces I mentioned just now. But the power is the weakest, no strong relatives, no powerful foreign aid, smart since childhood, respects the Zhou etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, has read poetry and books, and is more supported by the ministers, but here, the civil servants actually don’t have a lot of voice.”

Jiang Sheng: "Well, what about the other two?"

"The third prince is a capable contender, backed by his powerful relatives, the Sinan family. The Sinan family is the No. [-] nobleman in the Anan kingdom. Not only do they hold more than half of the military power in the Anan kingdom, they are also wealthy. Many bounty hunters' bounties are The Sinan family paid in advance, and the Sinan family secretly supported a lot of foreign powerhouses, their power is tyrannical, and the third prince has the support of the Sinan family, which is much better than the crown prince's chance of ascending to the throne."

"Such a powerful family? Why didn't they just take the throne?" Jiang Sheng was a little curious: "What kind of relatives are you?"

"Seizing the throne is not acceptable to the world." Liu Yan shook her head: "I have inquired about this question before. The western countries were influenced by the strong men of the East many years ago. There is a rule that everyone abides by, that is: the person who is not the king of the domestic royal family, All the countries are attacking it together, so until now no nobleman has dared to take the throne, not even such a powerful nobleman as the Sinan family."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Sheng's heart shuddered secretly. In the wilderness, there is not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the Han Dynasty?
What is the difference between that and history?
Even the theory that Liu Bang used to protect the royal family has been used to this day?

"The last one is quite special." Liu Yan frowned and said, "The sixth prince was sent to Guangming Temple since he was a child. In theory, he has already become a monk. This is the agreement between Guangming Temple and Ananguo. Every member of the royal family must The Buddha of Guangming Temple chooses a child with a root of wisdom to enter the Buddhist gate, so that the closeness between the Buddhist gate and Anan Kingdom can be guaranteed."

"It is said that this policy was originally very supported by the country's lord, because it largely balanced the influence of foreign relatives until..."

"Until what?" Jiang Sheng asked curiously.

"Until the last time I established a reserve." Liu Yan narrowed her eyes and said, "Some accidents happened."

"Last time?" Jiang Sheng was taken aback, isn't that the current monarch?
"Last time, all the princes had accidents for no reason. In the end, the only prince who had become a monk in Guangming Temple had to be invited out to succeed the king."

Jiang Sheng: "."

In other words, this monarch once entered Guangming Temple?

Seeing Jiang Sheng's expression, Liu Yan continued: "The strange thing is that this monarch and Guangming Temple seem to be at odds, and it can even be said that the monarch is quite vigilant on the side of Guangming Temple, and this time the sixth prince openly joined the competition for the crown prince. It all seems to be messed up."

"This is really true." Jiang Sheng also felt complicated: "You go to the banquet first, and I will accompany you to have a look."

"My lord, you want to go there in person?" Liu Yan was taken aback.

Jiang Sheng smiled: "It is necessary to go and see what kind of people are those complex forces that you are talking about."
-
During the banquet, the atmosphere was weird at this time. The hall of the Lord's Mansion is not very luxurious, but it is very spacious, at least more than 400 square meters. Banquets are held on weekdays, which can accommodate hundreds of people.

There were so many people at this time, and there were at least a hundred people who sat down in order on the left and right sides, but it could not be called a noisy banquet. The atmosphere in the whole hall was terrifyingly quiet at this time, and the sound of each other's chopsticks could even be heard .
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a tall and tough middle-aged man ranked third on the left sneered: "Our General Zhu Guo is really arrogant, and Gui Qing from Yiguo has been waiting for her for half an hour and still hasn't disappeared!"

The person who spoke was Sinan Lingkong, the representative of the Sinan family's generation of the military, and the left general of Anan Kingdom.

"General Zuo is getting more and more irritable." The frail, tall and thin young man sitting on the first seat on the left said with a smile: "General Zhu Guo has just returned from fighting against the ghost epidemic, so he must be exhausted, and it's okay to take a little rest. Yuan, where can we talk about airs?"

It was the prince of Anan Kingdom, Ananyu, who spoke!
"Heh" the other party sneered, but when he was about to speak, he was blocked by a gloomy man next to him. Sinan frowned, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Although the person surnamed Liu was invited to live in the Lord's Mansion, judging from the information, he hadn't fully joined the prince's camp, so there was no need to offend him and push him away completely.

After all, this kind of human being who can be compared to an Arhat is rare in the whole of the West. In the critical period of integrity, if it is not necessary, there is really no need to offend too much!

"Brother is right." The gloomy man looked at the crown prince on the left, and said with a smile, "General Liu has only been in Anan for ten days, but he has participated in five ghost plague eradication incidents in a row. He should really take a good rest."

The prince frowned upon hearing this, and was about to say something when he heard someone report from a distance: "General Zhu Guo is here!"

Everyone was stunned, and then looked outside the door. The report sounded, but Liu Yan, who was dressed in white, had almost reached the door, which made the prince's party look a little uneasy.

Obviously, what the third prince said just now was not to them, but to Liu Yan.

It took only ten days to become a general, but it was a desperate use. There were five ghost epidemics in ten days. I am afraid that many professional bounty hunters are not so desperate. It's true that people come to the banquet.
Liu Yan strode into the living room, and respectfully saluted the head of the kingdom: "Liu Yan has seen the king!"

The king who had been silent for a long time, as if he was asleep, opened his eyes, his stomach like a hill trembled, and his fat face was full of happy expressions: "The general is here? Come on, let's take a seat."

Liu Yan looked at the seat, and the empty seat left for her was actually the first one on the right!
Anan Kingdom is respected on the left, the prince occupies the head on the left, and himself occupies the head on the right. The implication of the king's arrangement is obvious.

If you wish to assist the prince, you are under one person!
Liu Yan saluted, and then without any procrastination, she walked directly to her seat and sat down calmly.

This scene caused the expressions of several forces to change instantly!
The prince seemed a little excited, his face was flushed, his hands under the table tightly grasped his clothes, no matter how he suppressed it, he couldn't conceal his excited expression.

And the third prince's face became more and more gloomy, everyone could see that this was a temptation from the king, if he didn't accept it, he should humbly refuse and not sit on the right.

But she just sat on it so generously!
In an instant, many generals of the Third Prince's forces all had solemn expressions.

But at this moment, Jiang Sheng who came in with Liu Yan and hid in the dark by using refraction of light looked at a young man in the middle. The man sitting behind the young man was not a civil servant in silk, nor was he behind the third prince. Those generals dressed in military uniforms are a group of monks.
That guy should be the Buddhist prince that Liu Yan said was the first time he broke the rules and participated in the seizure of the heir apparent, right?
