Chapter 56 Sword Master Liu Bai sets out, and the world is turbulent.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty, after hearing the news of the death of Monk Nagarjuna.

Thoughts abounded in his heart. In his land of the Ming Dynasty, although the incense of Buddhism was not as strong as that of the Tang Dynasty.

But Buddhism is the most deceptive religion in this era.

The ability of his religious theories to make money is there.

Therefore, even within the Ming Dynasty, Taoism flourished.

It has strong roots in Taoist sects such as Wudang.

It still cannot stop temples from blooming in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the two Zen temples of Monk Nagarjuna are not within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But Monk Nagarjuna, as the number one Buddhist in the world, had great influence on the temples in the Ming Dynasty!

After receiving the news, Zhu Houzhao immediately summoned the iron-hearted God Hou Zhuwu and Cao Zhengchun, who commanded Dongchang, into the palace.

Of these two people, one of them supervises the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty on behalf of Zhu Houzhao.

One person inspects all officials for Zhu Houzhao!

With the two parties fighting each other, Zhu Houzhao firmly controlled all the forces in the Ming Dynasty's territory.

The brave god Hou Zhuwu and Cao Zhengchun entered the palace, and the two took a secret look.

Everyone knows that if the emperor summons the two of them into the palace in such a hurry, there must be something big going on!

Coupled with the various situations that have happened in the world now.

Both of them knew very well that after the death of Monk Nagarjuna, the butcher knife in the emperor's heart must have been pulled away!

"Shenhou! You, Dragon Guard Villa, have the duty of supervising the world's martial arts world, ever since the death of Monk Nagarjuna."

"What are the actions of all parties?"

Zhu Houzhao's young face showed no emotion at all.

A pair of eyes, sometimes slightly narrowed, hiding all the expressions inside.

Although Zhu Houzhao was still young, he inherited the blessings of his bloodline and sat on the throne.

But he was taught strictly by the late emperor since he was a child.

The emperor's mental skills have been used to the point of perfection!

Even the ambitious and courageous Hou Zhuwu, and the dissatisfied Cao Zhengchun, were wary of the young emperor, who was playing tricks on him!

As a result, the two of them fought with each other and had to work hard for the emperor.

In order to get more rights!

Upon hearing the emperor's question, the Tietan Shenhou quickly replied:

"Due to the death of Monk Nagarjuna, all the Buddha statues in major temples under the sky were beheaded and destroyed overnight!"

"Nowadays, people in Buddhism are all panic-stricken and trapped in chaos."

"Li Yang and Datang seem to have made some moves."

"Yesterday, a stone tablet was even dug out on the bank of the Wei River in the Tang Dynasty."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.

He said with great interest:

"Oh? What exactly is engraved on that stone tablet?"

After hearing this, the God of Iron Dan recounted:

"It says that Buddhism is not benevolent and treats all things as stupid dogs! Heaven weeps blood, and all living beings in the world will fight against it!"

Hou Zhu, the Iron Courage God, ignored this and finished speaking.

Even Cao Zhengchun on the side became interested. It was not that he suspected that Tietan Shenhou had falsely reported the news.

The intelligence department of the Ming Emperor included more than just Hulong Villa and Dongchang.

In the darkness of His Majesty, there must be the one in control, an unknowable force between the two of them.

If the Lord Shen lies about the news, I'm afraid it won't be long before His Majesty exposes him.

Cao Zhengchun was interested in the meaning of this stone tablet.

At this time, such a stone tablet appeared. It is really worthy of careful consideration.

After listening to the report, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty showed a smile.

He said slowly:

"Li Shimin, the man who killed his brother, murdered his brother, and imprisoned his father, now resorts to such methods!"

"He will definitely slaughter all the Buddhist sects in the Tang Dynasty!"

"With all the vast amounts of fertile land being collected into the national treasury, the strength of the Tang Dynasty will probably become much more stable."

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao tapped his index finger on the desk easily.

That rhythm follows the ups and downs of his mind.

After a while, Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Zhengchun who bowed his head respectfully and said majestically:

"Since the Tang Dynasty has decided to destroy Buddha! Then there is no reason for me, the Ming Dynasty, to be left behind!"

"Cao Zhengchun, you go to the people and spread the news that Buddhism is causing harm to the public!"

"When the time is right, I will directly copy the roots of all the Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Those fat monks must have eaten a lot over the years!"

"If this oil and water were scraped off, it would be enough to start a national war!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes showed a sharp light.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun quickly said respectfully:

"Slave understands!"

So far, all the great empires in the world.

After the death of Monk Nagarjuna, they all unanimously decided to eradicate the Buddhist temples in the territory as a national policy!

An invisible butcher knife.

It has been placed above the heads of all the monks in the world!

Those monks who truly practice asceticism in the mountains are naturally not in any serious trouble.

The days that should be lived in poverty are still miserable.

In those difficult days, I tasted the true meaning of Zen!

And those big Buddhist temples with golden statues of Buddhas, many fertile fields, and all the incense in the world.

Then it was a complete disaster!

Everyone in the world thought that Monk Nagarjuna had died.

Buddhism will not completely decline even if it lasts for a while!

But next, the actions of several major empires.

It directly shocked their minds!

Is this more than just decline?

It is simply to destroy the Buddha in the world! We want the Buddhist lineage to completely disappear from the world!

This is not good news for the forces in the martial arts world.

After all, like Buddhism, they all live under the soil of the empire.

Temples are temples, rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes.

Except for a few sects that serve the empire.

Most of the Jianghu forces still had little contact with the imperial court.

Therefore, this is the court's action against Buddhism.

It also aroused their vigilance!

For Jianghu, this might not mean that the imperial court is killing chickens to scare monkeys!

However, in this world, some martial arts sects are so powerful that even the empire dare not provoke them easily.

For example, Emperor Wu’s City in the East China Sea!
