Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, in the imperial study.

Wei Yong rushed over to report, holding the intelligence report in his hand.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince ordered the alarm bells at the imperial mausoleum to be rung and summoned away all the experts within the mausoleum!"

"At the same time, all personnel of the Zhenwu Division have returned to their posts, and even the soldiers of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace have all been transferred to the Zhenwu Division!"

"According to the city gate guards, His Highness the Crown Prince dispatched a thousand soldiers armed with broadswords from outside the city a few days ago, and they are now assembling inside the Zhenwu Division!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is about to rebel!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia, who was intently reviewing the mountain of memorials, slowly raised his head.

Those already imposing eyes now gleamed with an even colder light as they glared fiercely at Wei Yong standing below.

"Stop spouting nonsense here!"

Immediately afterward, the Xia Emperor swiftly put down his vermilion brush and sternly declared:

"Go immediately and summon the Crown Prince to the palace!"

"Yes!"

Overwhelmed by the Xia Emperor's imposing presence, Wei Yong quickly composed himself and bowed respectfully in response.

The Xia Emperor was filled with doubt and curiosity about this large-scale troop movement.

After all, as the ruler of a country, Emperor Xia knew perfectly well how many peerless masters were hidden in the imperial tombs.

The fact that Xia Taige, who is usually calm and reserved, could mobilize all these experts must mean that this matter is no small thing.

How could the Xia Emperor not personally intervene in such an important matter?

As for what Wei Yong just said about Xia Taige's intention to rebel, Emperor Xia had never even considered it.

Given the current relationship between father and son, if Xia Taige truly wanted the throne, he only needed to open his mouth, and Emperor Xia would probably hand it over without hesitation.

Just as Emperor Xia was pondering this in secret, Xia Taige, who had been summoned, arrived in the palace at lightning speed.

Xia Taige strode forward, approached the Xia Emperor, bowed respectfully, and called out loudly:

"Father!"

"What is the purpose of mobilizing the people from the Imperial Mausoleum and the Zhenwu Division?" Emperor Xia asked casually after gesturing for Xia Taige to stand up.

"Reporting to Father Emperor, destroy Buddhism!" Xia Taige said with a firm look in his eyes.

"Weren't we planning to wait until the Zhenwu Division branch was completed before taking action yesterday?"

"Why has the persecution of Buddhism suddenly begun today?" Emperor Xia asked, puzzled.

"Your Majesty, today the time is ripe, the place is right, and the people are united; it is the perfect opportunity to destroy Buddhism!"

"As the Crown Prince of Great Xia, I cannot stand idly by and watch Buddhism leech off Great Xia!"

Xia Taige solemnly explained to Emperor Xia.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia rolled his eyes at Xia Taige. He knew in his heart that another expert must have emerged, otherwise his thoughts would not have changed so drastically in a single day.

Seeing that Xia Taige was unwilling to explain, the Xia Emperor did not press the matter further.

"Are we manpower sufficient?" Emperor Xia asked with concern.

Qingyuan Temple alone houses tens of thousands of martial monks, not to mention who knows if the Great Thunder Temple outside the city might interfere.

When the plan was being formulated, the leader of the cult was able to sense the decline in Buddhism's fortunes. Now that the plan is being implemented, it is impossible that he was completely unaware of it.

Xia Taige's move to take action against Buddhism within the Great Xia territory is tantamount to shaking the foundation of the Great Thunderclap Temple, and he will certainly not remain indifferent.

"Father, there's no need to worry. Your son knows what's going on!" Since the matter of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was difficult to explain, Xia Taige didn't intend to say anything more.

After receiving Xia Taige's reply, Emperor Xia thought for a moment and then took out a military tally from his robes and handed it to Xia Taige!

"This is the military tally of the capital's main army, which protects the capital. If needed, you can use this tally to mobilize 30,000 troops in the capital!"

Xia Taige was surprised to hear this, wondering what the Xia Emperor was thinking.

The military tally protecting the capital was given away without hesitation, without any concern that Xia Taige might rebel.

Logically speaking, being a lonely and isolated person is not as simple as it sounds.

Throughout history, how many royal families have seen brothers kill each other, or even fathers and sons kill each other?

But when it came to Emperor Xia, he gave him whatever he wanted, and even the military tally that Xia Taige hadn't mentioned was taken out by Emperor Xia without hesitation.

Xia Taige looked at the military tally in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take it.

Tonight's events are of great importance and cannot be taken lightly.

Having the military tally in hand makes things easier.

"Thank you, Father Emperor!" Xia Taige bowed to Emperor Xia in gratitude.

Seeing this, Emperor Xia waved his hand and said:

"Tonight, if needed, Wei Yong is ready to assist the Inner Guard at any time!"

Xia Taige nodded, indicating that he understood.

"I know you're busy, so I won't take up any more of your time. Go and get on with it!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige nodded, bowed, and left.

As the hour of Shen approached, Xia Taige was not in the Eastern Palace, but was instead overseeing things at the Zhenwu Division.

Inside the main hall of the Zhenwu Division, Xia Taige looked at Zhao Gao beside him, thought for a moment, then took out the military tally given to him by the Xia Emperor, handed it to Zhao Gao, and instructed:

"Take the talisman to the military camp outside the city and bring in 20,000 city guards. Implement a curfew ahead of schedule. At 5:00 PM, no one or any force may move within the city."

"Except for the city guards and the Imperial Guards, no other troops are allowed to operate in the capital. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!"

"Also, send someone to inform Jiang Huan that at dusk, the Embroidered Uniform Guard should intensify surveillance, and no member of any aristocratic family should be allowed to leave their residence. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

"Yes!" Zhao Gao nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Not long after Zhao Gao left, Cang He suddenly appeared in the main hall.

As soon as he appeared, he bowed to Xia Taige with a smile on his face.

Xia Taige looked at Cang He, who always had a smile on his face, and was speechless for a moment.

"How's it going?" Xia Taige asked, seeing that he didn't get straight to the point.

"Your Highness, everything is ready and the tasks have been assigned to the various departments."

"Fearing any unforeseen circumstances, I specially dispatched several experts from the Great Zhou branch, which is near the Great Xia, to oversee the situation. There will be absolutely no accidents!"

"At the stroke of midnight tonight, each branch will launch an attack independently, and no one will escape!"

"Your subordinate will also take action tonight to conceal the secrets of heaven, ensuring that no one discovers a single trace!"

With a smile on his face, Canghe made a confident promise.

Xia Taige nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this. Although Cang He always had a smile on his face, he was quite reliable when it came to getting things done!

"Can the secrets of the Zhenwu Division's actions be concealed as well?" Xia Taige suddenly realized and asked with shining eyes.

The only unexpected event tonight is the chain reaction caused by the Great Thunder Temple overseas. If we could accomplish this without anyone noticing, we wouldn't be in this predicament.

Upon hearing Xia Taige's question, Cang He shook his head and said:

"Your Highness, it is possible, but there is no need."

"When the Zhenwu Division makes its move, the fortune of Buddhism will inevitably be halved. I can conceal the secrets of heaven, but I cannot conceal the increase or decrease of fortune!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige understood and immediately stopped insisting.

If you can cover it up, then do it that way; if you can't, then just go all out and kill everything in sight.

Xia Taige also wanted to see just how many demons and monsters would jump out tonight.

Xia Taige had a pretty good idea of ​​what the so-called upheavals were; they were nothing more than people from the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Divine Cult, and powerful aristocratic families.
