Surrounded by mountains and rivers, embraced by Wutai, it is called Taihuai. Wutai Mountain is the holy land of Buddhism, Taihuai Town is the center of Wutai, a small town, no more than a thousand, surrounded by mountains and rivers, row upon row, offering dozens of temples, can be said to be the essence of Wutai Buddhist Temple.

Of course, the advantage of centralization and concentration is to facilitate the disposal of the imperial court, and the army is surrounded on all sides and the roads are blocked, and then it is logical to carry out an inventory and rectification in an orderly manner.

In the face of the heavy suppression and ruthless plundering of the imperial court, Buddhism in the world as a whole maintained the "Buddhist system", and there was little fierce resistance, but it was not completely mermaid meat, waiting to be slaughtered. At least, when bad things were coming, monks from all over the country fled, but these people didn't know that one of the emperor's purposes was to let them have no Buddhist temples to shelter and return to the monks for the people.

Before Wang Jingchong went north to Hedong, Taihuai Town was already surrounded by officers and soldiers. Interestingly, Taihuai belongs to Xinzhou, and the soldiers of Gushan Wai Temple belong to Daizhou, which is the regimental training of Yang Ye, but there are more than 1,000 soldiers, and the surrounding area will be completely controlled.

"Your Majesty really knows people, General Yang is worthy of being a rising star in the army, training the army in a good way, and commanding the army in a good way, just looking at the morale of this army, it shows its ability!" Under the guidance of the officer in charge, Wang Jingchong sighed with emotion and showed favor to the Daizhou soldiers, or Yang Ye behind the Daizhou soldiers.

Yang Ye did not come in person, and sent his right-hand man to the commander of the Daizhou Ma Army, Wang Xianqi, to bring people over.

Wang Xianqi is very young, he looks like a thick and steady person, hearing Wang Jingchong's praise and admiration, although he can't help but be proud in his heart, but there is no arrogance on his face, he arches his hand and chuckles: "General Yang's ability to command the army, the last general is also very admired." The envoy's praise will be conveyed truthfully, and General Yang will be very happy to hear it. ”

Wang Jingchong was a little surprised by Wang Xianqi's reaction, and couldn't help but glance at him more, never thinking that this young general surnamed Wang was so good that he seemed to see through his intentions. couldn't help but secretly say, the Son of Heaven loves young people and promotes handsome people, as far as he knows, the people who should be promoted have their own merits. Even so, the remote border envoys, who are not known for their pennilessness, also have this merit.

Wang Xianqi was twenty-five years old, pure and cautious, strategic, brave, good at riding and shooting, home Luoyang, at the end of the Jin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, he took refuge in the wilderness. In the first year of Qianyou, Li Shouzhen was based in the river, colluded with China and made rebellion, the imperial court quelled the rebellion, Wang Xianqi joined the army, and was supplemented to the account of Yang Ye, who was the military envoy of Tong'an at the time, and fought with him to fight the rebellion. The river is chaotic, and the merit is long, and the forbidden army in front of the palace is returned.

When Yang Ye was ordered to fight the Dynasty, he went north with him, and in Daizhou, Yang Ye showed his edge, rectified the obscenity, cracked down on lawlessness, and resisted the criminals. Outside the Yanmen Pass, there were no less than ten skirmishes with the Liao soldiers, and several times they even took the initiative to attack.

In less than two years, Wang Xianqi also showed his function, fought bravely, advanced and retreated, and won many victories in the war against Liao, and was deeply valued by Yang Ye, and specially recommended to the Privy Council for his credit. entered the ears of the Son of Heaven, and then Wang Xianqi was very "lucky" to be promoted by Liu Chengyou to the commander of the Daizhou Horse Army, in charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses, which can be described as a relocation.

He is not very old, and he is promoted quickly, but this is the characteristic of this era, and it is not uncommon for martial artists to rise suddenly. There was no dissenting voice, and it didn't even attract too much attention from others, after all, Dahan already had a lot of younger state regiment training envoys, and the young generals and colonels in the army in front of the palace also sprung up.

When his mind turned, Wang Jingchong had a little smile on his face, not a smiling tiger, but more like a smiling wolf.

"How is the situation of the reorganization of the Buddhist temple here? Show me! "Looking at Wutai from afar, overlooking the Buddhist temples in the distance, the pagodas are like forests, Wang Jingchong said.

"Taihuai town large and small Buddhist temples a total of 32, monks and nuns are thousands of thousands, according to the imperial court order, the state and the town of the text, only keep Xiantong, Shouning, Qixian, Puen four, monks fifty. The last general and the officials of the state and county have begun to gradually clean up the rest of the monasteries, and the lack of manpower has sent lay monks to the departies, and now they are left as coolies......"

After a short walk along the road and listening to his narration, Wang Jingchong said easily: "Let the monks destroy their temples with their own hands, and punish their hearts, but it can be regarded as making the best use of people!" ”

"Envoy, commander, there is a major discovery!" Walking through the inspection room, a sturdy officer had the wind under his feet, and he was greeted with a brisk pace, and his mood was uplifted.

Wang Jingchong became interested, and Wang Xianqi asked, "What did you find?" ”

Surrounded by two peaks, the narrow road falls straight down to the river valley, leads to the secluded place, and after a rather hidden mountain road, it suddenly opens up. The destination is a small workshop, surrounded by dense traces of excavation, the furnace does not exist, and the fire is condensed.

Pointing to a monk who had been taken, the officer said: "This gold mine is not small in scale, and the Buddhist temple here is actually mining and refining gold in the deep mountains. The imperial court rectified it, and boldly closed the mountain and covered the road, and destroyed the furnace to cover it. If it weren't for the small subordinates, they would have accidentally discovered it, and they might have really let this group of Buddhists hide. There are still more than 10,000 gold in the cave, and countless jade bronze artifacts and statues are ......"

After listening to the narration, Wang Jingchong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was gloomy: "Hiding in Baoshan and accumulating wealth, these monks are only afraid of having different aspirations!" ”

Probably because of the "occupational disease", Wang Jingchong had already considered it, and arrested the surrounding monks for interrogation, if he could find anything, it would not hurt. Moreover, there is still a Luo texture trap, there is this inducement, there is always a saying item.

Merit can be created! In this regard, Wang Jingchong has always been proactive!

Entering the warehouse, looking at the piles of gold and bronze vessels, Wang Jingchong was in high spirits, and his eyes were red at this large piece of wealth on the one hand, and it was another thing to add a sum to the credit book.

"You've done a great job!" Said to the officer who found him.

Immediately sent people, counted and inspected, and led the officers and soldiers to start moving.

Taihuai Town soon fell into a state of heat. Taking time out of his busy schedule, Wang Jingchong also ordered someone to secretly investigate Wang Xianqi's family background, he valued his potential, moved his mind, and wanted to adopt him as an adopted son.

A piece of news came and quickly interrupted some of Wang Jingchong's uncontrollable thoughts.

"There are chaotic people gathering in Lao County, claiming to be Buddhist soldiers, resisting the tyranny of the imperial court, attacking the county seat, being rejected by the county soldiers, retreating to the mountains and forests, and setting up a village to resist the imperial court!" Wu Desi's detective came to report in a panic.

Hearing this, Wang Jingchong was shocked, and his old eyebrows were raised, this is a big deal. However, under the serious and calm face, there was a slight convulsion of excitement: "How many thieves are there?" ”

"No less than a thousand!"

After pacing a few steps nervously, Wang Jingchong immediately ordered: "Send someone to contact General Yang immediately and ask him to send troops to quell the chaos!" ”

"Uncle, it seems that this is the turmoil caused by the 'destruction of the Buddha', and if it is not handled properly, if the Son of Heaven is angry, I am afraid that it will lead to a great sin!" Wang Jingchong's nephew was a little flustered and said nervously.

calmed down, but Wang Jingchong looked relaxed and eager: "No! This is our chance to make a difference! After all, the destruction of the Buddha is hard work, how can there be a rebellion and chaos, and the merit is high! ”

In his nephew's stunned gaze, Wang Jingchong couldn't help laughing, pondered for a moment, and said: "If you are a fool of the people, you can't do it, and you can't make a big deal!" However, the most important thing is to find a way to quell the rebellion nowadays, not only to destroy them, but also to find out the anti-Buddha and thief monks behind the turmoil. In this way, it can justify the act of 'destroying the Buddha' of His Majesty and the imperial court, which will be a great achievement in His Majesty's place! ”

"What is Uncle going to do?"

"Immediately report the news to Tokyo! Call Wang Xianqi to me! ”

After that, he ordered someone to present a map, study the location of Lao County, and consider action. Wang Jingchong, who was still a little expected, did not hesitate much, discussed with Wang Xianqi a little, left a part of the officers and soldiers to guard Huaizhen, and led the remaining soldiers to the north, so as to reach Cuixian.

Before it arrived, there was bad news again, there was also chaos in Wutai County, the thieves were more numerous, the momentum was greater than that of Lao County, the county seat was broken, the officials were killed, and the property of the Wutai Buddhist Temple accumulated in the city was all taken by it.

Hearing the news, Wang Jingchong felt nervous and secretly complained that he was not thoughtful. Knowing that Yang Ye had led the army south, the rebellion in Pinglao County, he immediately led people back, gathering the officers and soldiers of the mountain temple on the one hand, and contacting the Xinzhou garrison on the other hand, to defeat the rebellion.
