The heavens started from the Sun Moon God Religion

Chapter 70 The Hengjiang Gang

"Master Lu, a few days ago, news came from the capital that your Majesty may have a problem with his health." After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Houcong said, with a gloomy look on his still immature face that did not match his age.

Lu Jiu nodded. This matter is no longer a secret under the deliberate inquiring of some interested people. As the leader of Xuanming Sect, Lu Jiu naturally has a channel to inquire about news in the capital.

Now is the 12th year of Zhengde, when Zhu Houzhao presided over the ceremony of the Spring Sacrifice, he suddenly vomited blood in front of all civil and military officials, and fell into a coma, which shocked everyone.

Although Zhu Houzhao returned to the court after more than ten days after being treated by the Tai Hospital, it is rumored that the Tai Hospital did not find the root of the emperor's illness.

After recovering from a serious illness, Emperor Zhengde fell headlong into the Leopard Room, where he played and had fun in the Leopard Room accompanied by a group of eunuchs all day long.

Since the serious illness, Emperor Zhengde seldom showed up, so there were rumors that Emperor Zhengde had a serious physical problem, and some people said that Emperor Zhengde's illness had not gone away, although it may recur from time to time.

Lu Jiu has some disbelief in his heart, and it is only the 12th year of Zhengde. If there is no accident, Zhu Houzhao still has a few years to live.

"Ok?"

Lu Jiu's heart moved. The future master of the Wudang faction, Chongxu Zhenren, accepted Zhu Houcong as his apprentice. Is he also planning for the future?

You must know that although Shaolin and Wudang are the top sects in the world, they belong to two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. Since Buddhism was spread to the East, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has never ceased, and even several times in history, such as Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty exterminated Buddhism. Behind the incidents of exterminating Buddhas such as Emperor Wu of Zhou and Emperor Wu of Zhou, there is a faint shadow of Taoism.

Controversy over orthodoxy has always been accompanied by the rise and fall of dynasties.

Nowadays, Wudang School and Shaolin Temple are the leaders of Taoism and Buddhism, so there is naturally competition.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Wudang School has received strong support from the court, and the heads of all dynasties have been granted the title of protector of the country.

It was also the support of the imperial court that made the power of the Wudang faction, which had been established for more than a hundred years, increase dramatically, and even overwhelmed Shaolin. Now that the Wudang faction asked Chongxu to accept Zhu Houcong as an apprentice, I am afraid it is also planning for the future.

After all, the emperor's preferences can completely determine the direction of the implementation of the government. If the people in power have malicious intentions towards Wudang, then the decline of the Wudang faction is completely predictable.

The top sects like Shaolin and Wudang have long since ceased to be limited to the Jianghu. For example, the Sun Moon God Sect and Wuyue Sword Sect, which have no roots in the imperial court, have dominated the Jianghu for a while. After that, it will decline like the previous sects such as Mingjiao and Emei.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Jiu said: "Now all forces are waiting and watching, it depends on who can bear it!

After all, Emperor Zhengde has sat on the throne for more than ten years. Even though he hangs around in the Leopard Room all day, he can completely control the court through the Hesi Lijian.

Anyone who dares to stand up at this time is courting death! "

Zhu Houcong nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu. During this time, my father is sick in bed, and Houcong needs to be taken care of every day. How can I have time to think about other things?"

Lu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Hengjiang's hand is too long!"

"I know that Lu Song, one of Jinyiwei's two envoys, is yours, but the Hengjiang Gang's unscrupulous expansion and accumulation of money can easily attract the attention of others.

At the beginning, I spent more than half a year helping you establish the Hengjiang Gang, in order to intervene in the boat running business, increase the income of the palace, and at the same time recruit some masters for your use.

But now the Hengjiang Gang has developed into a large gang spanning the Han River and the Yangtze River, with hundreds of members alone, almost comparable to the Xuanming Sect.

The appearance of such a big gang will definitely attract the attention of the imperial court and Jin Yiwei, and now Lu Song can help you cover it up.

But if this goes on like this, I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the commander and even Emperor Zhengde. If the Jin Yiwei finds you, it will be difficult. "

Zhu Houcong's face turned pale. Over the years, with the support of him and Prince Xing's mansion, the Hengjiang Gang has indeed expanded rapidly. It not only brought him a huge amount of money, but also recruited many experts, and even helped him get rid of some people who were in the way behind his back. Man, now it is the sharpest sword in Zhu Houcong's hand.

Moreover, the mother-in-law of Lu Song, the governor of Fusi Township in Jinyiwei South Town, is his wet nurse, and his son Lu Song grew up with him, Zhu Houcong. He is a hardcore supporter of Xingwangfu. It was not targeted by the imperial court and Jinyiwei, and was able to develop rapidly.

"Master Lu, Hou Cong understands."

"Ok!"

Lu Jiu nodded, and said again: "Doing nothing at this time is better than anything else!"

"Why is Master Lu here?" Zhu Houcong asked.

Lu Jiu said: "Go to Mount Hua, I'll come and see you when I pass by."

"Huashan?"

Zhu Houcong's eyes lit up: "Is it the Huashan School, one of the Five Sacred Sword Schools? That is a famous and decent school. Isn't Master Lu going to Huashan to destroy the Huashan School like the Hengshan School?"

Lu Jiu smiled and shook his head: "How can it be so easy? To be honest, the Huashan School is the most powerful of the Wuyue Sword School!"

"Isn't it the Songshan School?"

Although he is not a member of the Jianghu, Zhu Houcong likes to listen to others talking about the affairs of the Jianghu, and he often asks the guards in the palace who are born in the Jianghu for some news about the Jianghu.

"Hehe...you probably forgot that there is a sword master in the Huashan sect!"

"The wind is clear!" Zhu Houcong blurted out.

He had heard about the title of Huashan Sword Master for a long time, but he didn't know why Feng Qingyang hadn't been in Jianghu for ten years.

"Master Lu is going to Mount Hua?"

Lu Jiu smiled, and practiced hard for ten years in Shu, even he himself didn't know what state his cultivation had reached now.

Xuan Mingjiao's right envoy, Baiban Xixing, broke through to the extreme state two years ago, but he is still not the enemy of Lu Jiu's ten strokes. It can be seen that there are differences in the extreme state.

Lu Jiu boasted that he had traveled a long way in the extreme state, but he never saw the path to the innate state. Now he seems to be walking on a straight and endless road, without any light around him. No one can be seen on the left or right.

If he wants to go down this road, Lu Jiu can only ask the people who have walked this road.

In today's arena, there are not many people who have reached this stage. The top fighters of Shaolin and Wudang sects are likely, and Huashan sword sage Feng Qingyang and the old pavilion master in the palace are more likely.

"There is a contact point of Xuanming Sect in Anlu City. If you have something to do or want to contact me, you can go to them with the token I gave you!" Lu Jiu urged.

Zhu Houcong nodded: "Houcong understands."

"Has your father recovered from his illness yet?" Lu Jiu asked again.

Zhu Houcong shook his head: "Since the beginning of autumn, there has been no recovery. The day before yesterday, Wudang sent Taoist Master Baishi, who is very good at medicine and stones, to come to the palace in person, but he did not find a cure.

Right now, we can only let Daoist Baishi inject some true energy every day to renew his father's life, but Daoist Baishi also said that the day of his father's death may not be far away. "

After speaking, Zhu Houcong's tone became low.

After all, he is only ten years old now, not enough to support the huge Xingwang Mansion.

"Hey... Let's take a step and see."
