Chapter 994: The Son of Heaven is Hard to Say Goodbye
The suggestion of the Fifth Qi coincided with the Tang Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty in history, and after more than 100 years of land annexation, the amount of land owned by the temple has reached an astonishing level, so much so that some people exclaimed, "Gyeonggi Mijeon is all returned to the monk's temple." ”
The monks in the temple were not enough to cultivate so much land, so they hired a large number of tenant farmers to cultivate it for them, so that more and more landless people became untouchables attached to the temple. Over time, the development of temples in places of influence has become more and more deformed, to the point that it can affect the national economy and people's livelihood.
Of course, although the temples in the Zhide period were not small, they were far from being as overflowing as when Tang Wuzong was in power, and the fact that Fifth Qi was able to keep his eyes on it also proved his vicious vision. However, although Qin Jin was in favor of clearing the temple's land, he didn't want to go too extreme.
"Buddhist temples are supposed to be good, but there are monks who are obsessed with ghosts, coaxing the people of the world to donate, and even taking advantage of the frequent wars to deceive people's hearts...... Recently, he has also made a moth in the era of the end of the law, and he has made a lot of money......"
Speaking of the bad deeds of temples in various places, Fifth Qi showed a consistent sneer on his face.
"It's not necessary to destroy the Buddha statue, the so-called monks have delusions, or because they have too much property in their hands, since they can't cut off the root of their troubles, it is better for the fifth minister to cut them on their behalf!"
When Qin Jin spoke, there seemed to be a smile on his face, although he said it implicitly, the fifth Qi had already understood it.
"The subordinate understands!"
Qin Jin nodded again and said:
"We must keep a sense of proportion, and we must not cause chaos in people's lives!" However, we must also severely bring to justice those lawbreakers who lie and mislead the public, so as to prevent people from competing to imitate them!"
Fifth Qi further said:
"The doctor may not believe it, if all the supermodel Guanzhong temple property is filled into the treasury, it is enough to be worth the income of three years in the Tianbao year!"
This statement made Qin Jin a little dumbfounded, when Tianbao was in its heyday, the annual income was more than 10 million yuan, and the property of the Guanzhong Temple alone reached this level, if the whole world was added up, I am afraid it would be enough to match the imperial court.
This had to make Qin Jin cautious, where the benefits are, there must be people who rush to it, and there may not be no powerful people around the temple's large amount of wealth.
"Is there anyone in the court who has a lot to do with the temple?"
Fifth Qi smiled:
"Doctor, rest assured, in the past, it was all the dragon sons and grandsons who supported those monks, but now the dragon sons and dragon grandsons have become things in the urn, and no one will support them anymore!"
At the same time that Qin Jin and Fifth Qi were discussing, in the Shenwu Army Prison, Huang Jing shouted desperately at the top of his voice, and the jailer guarding was really tortured and couldn't stand it, so he personally warned him:
"But whoever enters the Shenwu Army Prison will not be wronged, there may be a glimmer of life if you reflect on it and confess, if you resist like this, I am afraid that it will not be far from death!"
Huang Jing had already been frightened, and he looked even more crazy when he was so intimidated by the jailer.
"I reported the Fifth Qi, and the Fifth Qi was a traitor, everything is true, and I reported it meritorious, meritorious...... ...... who won't die, won't die"
The jailer's face was full of mockery, "If the report is meritorious, how can you end up on death row on this day's scale? Don't dream as soon as possible, wake up, if you have any last words to explain, think about it quickly, maybe I'll send you ......home on your behalf when I'm in a good mood."
"No, no, no...... Impossible, Doctor Qin agreed, if he agreed, he would spare my life, the fifth Qi was a traitor, colluded with Tubo, and framed Zhongliang, how could such a person stay in the political hall?"
After being stimulated, Huang Jing was even more crazy, tirelessly making trouble all night, and the prison officials had no choice, and they were subject to strict military law and were not allowed to abuse prisoners, so they could only endure with their ears blocked. When it was almost dawn, a military officer came to pick up the man, and the jailer took the man away as if he had been pardoned, and his ears were finally quiet.
At first, Huang Jing was still very excited and happy, thinking that he would get amnesty when he got out of death row, in addition to glaring at the jailer like a demonstration, he also asked the military officials who came to raise the person one after another:
"Is Doctor Qin going to see me? Fifth Qi, what's wrong with Fifth Qi? Did you go to raid the house and get people?"
Of course, the jailer knew that Huang Jing would never be released, because the person who came to mention him belonged to the Military Justice Department, and the Military Justice Department proposed that the person be either executed or handed over to other government offices, and it seemed that Doctor Qin did not have a military order to execute this person, so it was likely that he would be handed over to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple.
"Doctor Qin is no longer seen of you, you have left the death row and behaved well, and you are about to settle with the Criminal Department, which can be regarded as picking up a life!"
Hearing this, Huang Jing's face turned green, the Criminal Department is in the hands of Fifth Qi, and Yin Shiyi, the servant of the Criminal Department who holds real power, is one of Fifth Qi's henchmen, and if he falls into the hands of this person, can he still be courted? He has also served as an official in the Criminal Department, and of course he knows the methods used by the officials of the Criminal Department to rectify prisoners, and there are many people who cannot survive and cannot die, and there are many people who do not want to die but die.
However, even if you don't die, I'm afraid you don't want to get out of the prison of the Criminal Department with all your tails. Previously, there were officials who were tortured in the prison of the Criminal Department with broken tendons and broken bones, and their skin and flesh were rotten, and their condition was unbearable, and now I shudder to think about it.
"I'm not going, I'm not going to the prison of the Criminal Department, I'm not ...... Ah......h
The military officer in charge of lifting people obviously did not have as many estimates as the prison guards, and when he greeted him with two punches, Huang Jing's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he muttered for a long time, opening his mouth and spitting out a mouthful of blood, which was also mixed with two front teeth.
With just two punches, Huang Jingden was honest.
"If you talk nonsense again, you'll be looking for teeth all over the ground!"
The military officials of the Military Judge Advocate General are the most unscrupulous people in the Shenwu Army, but all the soldiers in the Shenwu Army, even if they are at the level of Lang General, they have to be polite when they see the low-level military officials of the Military Justice Department, not to mention this annoying Huang Jing?
The jailer looked at the heart darkly, he couldn't sleep after being tortured by Huang Jing this night, and he couldn't leave his post without permission, and now someone finally came to clean him up, and it was also regarded as revenge for this night's torture.
Half an hour later, Huang Jing was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. When he arrived at the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, his spirit was tense from beginning to end, but when a jailer or jailer walked by, he trembled with fear like a frightened bird. However, the expected revenge did not appear immediately, and the prison officials and jailers did not take any "special care" for him, the only thing that made him unbearable was that the food in the prison of the Criminal Department was not even as good as the staple food, and a large spoonful of paste and vegetable leaves were placed in the large clay bowl that was dark and dark, and on the side of the clay bowl was a commode that exuded a strong smell of urine. In this situation, let alone eating, if you don't vomit, you already have super endurance.
However, Huang Jing couldn't survive the suffering of hunger after all, resisted the urge to vomit, picked up the pottery bowl and drank two sips in a row, because he was in a hurry to drink, he didn't care about the taste of the food, but the third sip said that he couldn't drink anything, and sprayed all over the ground from his mouth.
A jailer came over and saw that Huang Jing had made a mess in the cell, so he scolded:
"Thief prisoner, still haven't you licked the grain off the ground?"
After all, Huang Jing is a person who has been an official for a long time, how can he stand such a rude and rude reprimand from the jailer, and he forcibly holds back his anger and keeps silent. However, the jailer of the prison of the Criminal Department was obviously much more majestic than the jailer of the Shenwu Army Prison, and when he saw that Huang Jing refused, he was annoyed, so he opened the door of the cell, walked in and pressed his head and threw it to the ground.
Caught off guard, Huang Jing fell heavily to the ground, falling so much that Venus appeared in front of him, and he almost lost consciousness, until his consciousness gradually became conscious, and the jailer had already walked away, only to feel that his body was wet, and it was actually a commode in the cell that was scattered all over the ground......
Yin Shiyi, the servant of the Criminal Department, was greeted by Fifth Qi, except that he could not kill and injure Huang Jing, he could do whatever he wanted. Yin Shiyi really couldn't imagine that the fifth Qi not only saved the day, but also seemed to be more reused by Doctor Qin, and when he returned to the political hall, he planned to clean up the land of the temple. Officials from both the government and the opposition know that the amount of land in the temple is staggering, and if these fat sheep are slaughtered, the urgent need for the government treasury to lack money should be solved at the same time.
Xingqing Palace, the gate is strict, a carriage drove into the door in a low-key manner, the people in the car were very low-key, until they entered the second palace wall and walked out, the eunuchs saw this person and bowed down in fear. Qin Jin is not used to the humble attitude of the eunuchs, but he is also dissatisfied with understanding, even the Son of Heaven has become his "prisoner".
Eunuchs are the most immoral burden, they can easily see the wind and steer the rudder, and never feel ashamed, thinking that it is a matter of course to be attached to the strong.
To be honest, Qin Jin didn't want to see Li Heng, the Son of Heaven, but this matter had to be nodded by Li Heng, that is, the specific time when Li Xi was canonized as the crown prince.
Xia Yuanji of the political hall has already chosen an auspicious day, and the first day of the fourth year of Zhide is the best choice.
To be crowned as a prince, naturally the Son of Heaven cannot be missing, even if the Son of Heaven is a waste person who can't take care of himself, he has to be a showman and let the world know his attitude.
"How is the Son of Heaven doing today, and is his mood still stable?"
Responsible for taking care of Li Heng was Li Ming'er, a eunuch of a low rank in Xingqing Palace, and Qin Jin used him for his clever and loyal temperament.
Li Ming'er kowtowed first, then got up and said:
"The saint's body is okay, but he weeps silently all day long, and the slaves and maids don't cooperate, and it makes people ......sad to watch."
As she spoke, Li Ming'er raised her arm and wiped her tears with her sleeve, which didn't look like a coy gesture.
"Let's get through, Qin has an important matter and needs to face Chen Tianzi!"
Li Ming'er hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"I'm afraid the saint won't meet ......"
Qin Jin smiled indifferently, he knew that this eunuch was afraid that there were still some ugly things that he hadn't said, and the only few times Li Heng spoke all day was cursing one person, and that was him Qin Jin himself!
