This is the tacit understanding reached between the Third Prince and Pudu Temple—
To find an opportunity, the Third Prince enters the ga, using the royal bloodline to guide the Buddhist Qi Fortune into the National Fortune, thereby truly transforming the Da Lan Dynasty into a Buddha Country!
The Crown Prince's voice echoed in the Third Prince's consciousness through Qi Fortune resonance.
"Second brother, don't trouble yourself. This land, in my hands, will still bear the surna Qin."
The Third Prince's exceedingly satisfied voice also ca through.
This was the first ti he addressed the Crown Prince as second brother.
"Father, what do you think?"
The Emperor had not yet abdicated, so he could also hear their conversation through Qi Fortune resonance.
"Negotiating with a tiger for its skin, how unwise."
The Emperor's aged voice sounded, containing not much anger, but with deep fatigue.
Both he and Ye Ze'an had actually noticed so oddities about the Third Prince and had suspected that he might be secretly connected with Pudu Temple.
However, neither of them took action against the Third Prince because the focus was not on him, but on the Buddhists.
If this hidden threat of the Buddhists is bound to explode sooner or later, it's better to take the initiative in drawing it out.
Only, the Emperor did not expect the Third Prince to choose such an extre way to collaborate with the Buddhists.
"Just a struggle to survive!"
The Third Prince said with a resentful tone.
If today's events succeed, he will beco the king of the Buddha Country, personally taught by the Buddha.
He certainly knew that such an Emperor would only be a puppet.
But if he did nothing, once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he and his close relatives, friends, and subordinates would all turn to white bones!
Is it to choose to be the at on another's chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered one day?
Or choose to beco the Emperor, even if just a puppet?
No one would choose the forr!
Only by living can there be hope. By becoming Emperor, he would have the chance to turn the tables!
"That fool Qin Zihong was completely played by you, probably still unaware that he's been sold out."
The Crown Prince also spoke in a venomous tone.
Now that the Buddhists chose to bestow Qi Fortune onto the Third Prince, he could clearly see their setup:
First, have the Buddhists initiate contact with the Eldest Prince, making him think he has victory within his grasp, which imdiately draws everyone's attention.
Little did the Eldest Prince know that the Third Prince had long negotiated 'terms' with the Buddhists, and even with Qin Mingli.
Hearing the Crown Prince's words, the Third Prince smiled slightly.
With an agreed plan with the Buddhists, it was actually not difficult for him to gain Qin Mingli's support, but he deliberately let the Buddhists approach the Eldest Prince to both leverage his power and have him actively attract 'fire' for himself.
As for whether the Buddhists would ultimately decide to support the Eldest Prince directly, abandoning him,
The Third Prince was not worried.
The world now knows it's the Eldest Prince stepping forward to 'purify the court,' which in many eyes is actually rebellion!
The Buddhists want to conquer Da Lan Dynasty, not destroy it. Supporting the Eldest Prince would inevitably face very large resistance.
It would take much more ti, energy, and bloodshed to achieve the goal.
Whereas if they support him, the Third Prince.
Today's script is—
On Bai Feng Plain, the rebelling Eldest Prince is killed, Wenren Zheng dies in battle, and 'Prince Li' Qin Mingli surrenders.
The Buddha enters the Imperial Palace, but the State Preceptor severely injures him, forcing him to flee with grave injuries. But State Preceptor Yun Shu is exhausted and dies, while the Crown Prince, defending the state, is unfortunately killed.
In the end, before dying, the Emperor can only pass the throne to the Third Prince.
The Third Prince ascends the throne, everything is justifiable, unimpeded!
Afterwards, with the National Fortune integrated into the Buddhist Qi Fortune, in a situation like the cuckoo occupying the nest, all the people of the Da Lan Dynasty will be subtly influenced to be close to and believe in Buddhism.
Finally, the Third Prince will 'pacify' the Pudu Temple, change national policies, and the Buddhists will gradually control the whole Empire.
This is the plan formulated by the Third Prince and Pudu Temple.
Originally, the likelihood of this plan's implentation was small, but the rebellion of Qing Xu finally let the Third Prince and the Buddhists see an opportunity!
Now, they are just one step away from success!
At this mont, the strong individuals of the Righteous Law Pavilion, and that Twelve Layers of Heaven and Earth Defect Sword Tower, are being temporarily held back by Pudu Temple at the cost of sacrificing one forr Buddha and five Great Arhats.
The other top experts have been seriously injured by Jing Heng, and with Buddhist Qi Fortune protecting the Third Prince, he does not have to worry about his safety.
He just needs to wait for Jing Heng to take action.
Actually, the choice of which Prince to enter the ga and guide the Buddhist Qi Fortune invasion is not the key.
The real key is that Jing Heng needs to act in the Xuanqiong Supre True Dragon Array, subduing everything!
The Third Prince is just a 'catalyst,' whereas Jing Heng and the Buddhists' millennium Qi Fortune are the 'main force.'
In the Imperial Palace, the battle of wits between Jing Heng and Yun Shu is gradually gaining the upper hand.
Yun Shu is in too poor a state, unable to outmatch Jing Heng even with the support of the Emperor's Dragon Qi and the Big Array.
Moreover, with the millennium Buddhist Qi Fortune 'invading' now, the national fortune is turbulent, affecting the support Yun Shu receives, making it even more difficult for him.
In the Imperial Study Room, the Crown Prince's face was pallid as he trembled, blood seeping from his seven orifices!
The Buddhist Qi Fortune invasion caused the regent Crown Prince to be the first to suffer backlash and endure pressure.
Now he is equivalent to wrestling the National Fortune of the Da Lan Dynasty against the millennium Buddhist Qi Fortune.
Although the Buddhist heritage spans twice the ti of the Da Lan Dynasty, it eventually pales in scale compared to National Fortune.
But the National Fortune of the Da Lan Dynasty has successively suffered 'severe damage,' consuming a lot, which greatly narrows the gap between the Buddhist Qi Fortune and the National Fortune.
More crucially, there is also Jing Heng taking action outside at this mont.
