Chapter 106: Knocking
"Daxiangguo Temple, how long has it been since the temple was established?" A cold expression appeared on Liu Chengyou's face.
Li Shaoyou was slightly stunned, but replied quickly: "Xiangguo Temple was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, nearly 400 years ago, it was burned down at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and then rebuilt ......."
There are several Buddhist temples in and around Tokyo, but in terms of fame, Sokokuji Temple is the largest, although it is far from being amazing in terms of scale and prosperity. However, the status is there, the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and every time she goes out of the palace to incense, she chooses Xiangguo Temple.
He was ordered to visit the Buddhist temple a few days ago, and Li Shaoyou had already understood these situations.
"That's not a short history!" Liu Chengyou sighed inexplicably and asked, "The monks entered the palace just to preach the scriptures and recite the Buddha?" ”
"Forgive the ministers for being stupid, in the Renming Palace, the ministers are really unsympathetic." Li Shaoyou replied cautiously.
Liu Chengyou glanced at him, if he dared to find out the situation on the Queen Mother's side, this taboo would be a big mistake.
"I said, how could the Empress Dowager suddenly talk to me about Buddhism......" Liu Chengyou muttered coldly.
"The situation of the Gyeonggi Buddha Temple has been investigated!" Taking a slight breath, Liu Chengyou asked.
"Back to the official home, Gyeonggi Zhuju County, the number of large and small Buddha temples and nunnery, monks, land, tenants, and Wu Desi have been recorded in detail. According to the ministers, there are 237 Buddhist temples and more than 40,000 monks in Gyeonggi Prefecture alone......"
Liu Chengyou said solemnly: "Present it later!" ”
"Yes!"
Liu Chengyou pondered about things, the hall was quiet for a moment, Li Shaoyou gave up his hand, cautiously bowed, and his words implied a reminder: "Official, the Queen Mother believes in the Buddha, if you want to do extraordinary things, the Renming Palace, I am afraid of twists and turns!" ”
Regarding what Liu Chengyou wants to do, Li Shaoyou is of course clear. Hearing this, he glanced at him: "I know!" ”
This cousin, in some ways, is really too clever. However, as he said, he wants to destroy the Buddha, if the Li family opposes, it will definitely be a big trouble for him, although even if the Li family opposes it, it will not stop Liu Chengyou, but it can avoid possible mother-son conflicts, and Liu Chengyou will try his best to avoid it.
Raising his hand and touching his short stubble, after thinking about it for a while, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked: "Chen Shu is old, are you still living in seclusion in Huashan!" ”
Hearing this question, Li Shaoyou pondered Liu Chengyou's thoughts in his mind, and replied in his mouth: "The minister immediately sent someone to investigate!" ”
Seeing that he couldn't be sure, Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "No need, I personally sent an edict to Huazhou, and invited Fuyaozi to come to Beijing to preach the scriptures for the Queen Mother and me!" ”
"Yes!"
Li Shaoyou suddenly, he heard Liu Chengyou indifferently chanting: "I have heard too much Buddha sound, and I should also feel the rhyme!" ”
"The official is wise!" Li Shaoyou opened his mouth and patted the horses.
Slowly stabilizing his mentality, ignoring the matter for the time being, Liu Chengyou's expression returned to his original solemnity, and asked Li Shaoyou: "I want to reorganize the forbidden army, you know!" ”
"The minister has heard of it!" Li Shaoyou nodded directly, arched his hands, and his eyes flashed slightly: "Does the official family have any orders?" ”
"Cousin, you're still so smart!" Liu Chengyou praised him lightly, and then his tone turned sharp: "This matter is related to the whole army, and it is closely related to the generals and soldiers, I am afraid that the army will be unstable, and then, Wu Desi will firmly keep an eye on the situation in the forbidden army, but if there is any abnormal move, report it at any time!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Chengyou commanded solemnly, and Li Shaoyou deserved it seriously. With his cleverness and wit, he certainly understood the importance of the matter, and of course, more importantly, the benefits that could be derived from it.
Although the policy and regulations for the reorganization of the army have not yet been promulgated, according to Liu Chengyou's wishes, the current rectification of the forbidden army will definitely inevitably lead to a change in the position of senior generals. His father, Li Hongxin, has stayed up for so long, but he has been staring at the position of the forbidden commander. Before, there was only one "marshal", but now there is obviously one more "marshal", and the emperor should always find some cronies.
"Stand down! Be good eyes and ears and do good errands! Liu Chengyou gently raised his hand and instructed Li Shaoyou.
"Retire!" Li Shaoyou gave a solemn salute.
Before stepping back, I saw Liu Chengyou mention it casually: "By the way, I heard that you have a new concubine, and congratulations!" ”
Li Shaoyou, the cousin of the Son of Heaven, has an obvious problem, he is lustful, and his family can be described as a group of concubines.
Liu Chengyou mentioned such a matter thoughtlessly, which fell into Li Shaoyou's ears, but his face changed drastically, and he obviously bowed more and more respectfully: "Xie Guan's family." ”
After saying that, he bowed his waist and slowly withdrew from the temple. After just a short period of effort, when he left the hall, Li Shaoyou's expression was already very calm. When the emperor first returned, he even knew about the private matter of taking concubines in his inner house.
"It seems that our official family has more than one pair of eyes and ears!" On the way back to Wudesi, Li Shaoyou pondered with a calm face, and sighed silently in his heart, but he could only hold it in his heart.
Recalling Liu Chengyou's tone, vaguely, there were also some warnings. Thinking of this, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but introspect whether he had caused the dissatisfaction of the Son of Heaven in any way.
Liu Chengyou, on his side, is indeed dissatisfied with Li Shaoyou's actions. Because he found that Li Shaoyou, his cousin, was getting more and more selfish. Everyone has selfishness, this is commonplace, but there must be a limit, a bottom line, especially in the hands of minions such as Wu Desi.
Li Shaoyou just reported so many things in front of him, some light and some serious, some detailed and some slight. But from his mouth, what he said the most was Shang Hongqian's situation, and Liu Chengyou naturally felt the vague hints.
Shang Hongqian is inherently inappropriate, but under Li Shaoyou's avoidance of the trivial narrative, it seems that there are dissenting intentions ready to move. But Liu Chengyou, after all, has more than one pair of ears and eyes, and his brain is clear enough, and he believes it if he doesn't listen partially. And what Li Shaoyou has planned, Liu Chengyou probably knows it.
Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and Liu Chengyou still trusts this cousin, but in order to ensure the friendship between the brothers of the monarch and the minister, a certain beating is still necessary. What he is in charge of, after all, is a sensitive yamen like Wu Desi.
He believes that with Li Shaoyou's astuteness, he should be able to understand his meaning. If he is arrogant, doesn't understand his meaning, and still doesn't know how to restrain himself, then to the point where he has to do something, Liu Chengyou will not tolerate it.
However, for the other people and things reported by Li Shaoyou, Nie Wenjin, Guo Yunming, and even his brother-in-law Li Ye, Liu Chengyou also secretly made up his mind to dispose of and clean up one by one.
Speaking of which, since the succession to the throne, except for the Su Fengji case, Liu Chengyou has not done much to govern the officials. Although there have been repeated warnings, and the corrupt and law-breaking Han courtiers have also reined in a lot, the nature of the unclear governance of officials has not been fundamentally improved. In the final analysis, he was too "tolerant" of the courtiers and too soft. Don't look at the current law of the Han Kingdom is harsh, but it is aimed at ordinary people.
Now, he Liu Chengyou's throne is slowly sitting firmly, and his majesty is flourishing, and when the time comes, according to his wishes, the Han Dynasty will be transformed. The "Qianyou New Deal" will be on the right track and on the fast track.
"Your Majesty, the two officials Zhao and Tao, ask to see you outside the palace!" When Liu Chengyou was thinking about it, everyone came.
"Declare them into the temple!" Quickly came the spirit, Liu Chengyou commanded.
Although Liu Chengyou missed this move due to the rebellion in the river, it was because of this that he was more concerned about this matter.
