The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the forests are dyed, and it is a late autumn scene.

Tokyo, Imperial City, Harem, Kunmyeongjeon.

The air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, the smell is strong, not greasy, pleasant, and relaxed. It was early in the morning, the sky had already brightened, and the emperor Liu Chengyou was still lying in the couch, embracing the beauty, the excitement of getting up in the morning had been alleviated, and the movements in his hands were very clean, just caressing the delicate waist of the queen under the brocade quilt.

"Official, it's not too early, it's time to get up!" Da Fu crouched beside Liu Chengyou, pushed it lightly, and said. The jade face is soft, the cheeks are crimson, and the dew is dewed, and it is moisturized.

Liu Chengyou still had his eyes closed, and his voice seemed lazy: "It's rare to hide and enjoy the gentle township, but you want to push me out!" ”

The increasingly plump delicate body was close to Liu Chengyou, and between the grinding of his ears and temples, Da Fu smiled lightly and said softly: "This is not like the usual official family." The king can't afford it, if the official family stays in the Kunming Palace for a long time, he is afraid that the officials of the foreign court will have a whisper. Although Dafu is in the back position, she is actually a woman, and she can't afford to be criticized, and I hope that the official family will understand......"

The queen is virtuous and reasonable, and she always gets along and talks with her on weekdays, and she always has a reward, between husband and wife, Qin Se and Ming, Liu Chengyou is also quite fond of it, but it is a secret spur from time to time, but it makes people feel disgusting.

"In my opinion! With a queen like you, how dare you criticize it if the subjects of the Han Dynasty love it? Opening his eyes, he took a sip on Queen Xiaolu's jade shoulder, and as he spoke, Liu Chengyou sat up.

Seeing this, Da Fu immediately commanded outward: "Come here, wait for the official to get up!" ”

The curtain slowly opened, the beautiful maid Jiao'e came with a cup and a basin, and in the midst of temptation, Liu Chengyou once again experienced the tenderness that was enough to soften the muscles and bones and consume the will.

A bowl of corn porridge with a few slices of osmanthus cake is Liu Chengyou's breakfast. The taste of the meal is very good, the only disadvantage is that there is a faint smell mixed with the fragrant fragrance of the hall, which is the smell of......

On the left side of the case, the culprit was held by Da Fu, and after changing the diaper, he was very comfortable after cleaning up the discomfort, and he no longer cried, but kept smiling at Liu Chengyou.

"And with a smile, this early in the morning, it's scrambling!" After taking two breaths vigorously and experiencing the fading smell, Liu Chengyou said to the infant prince.

As if he understood Liu Chengyou's words, the smile on the child's immature cheeks was somewhat restrained, and he coughed twice, but he was choked by saliva.

Seeing this scene, Da Fu couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengyou, and gently stroked the prince's back: "Young children are unscrupulous, do the official family still have to deal with Erlang?" ”

In the winter of last year, Liu Chengyou added two new sons, born by Queen Fu, named Yang, nicknamed Brother Mu; The noble concubine Gao's family, the name Xi, the nickname Brother Liang.

In addition, Concubine Xian's pregnancy is also full of October, when she is close to giving birth, if there is no accident, the heavenly family will add a new son.

When the child recovers his heartless laughter again, Liu Chengyou feels something, his wife is on his side, and he has a child, if he is an ordinary family, he can also be called happy and peaceful.

"I'll go back to the Chongzheng Hall first. It will be winter, and the weather will be very cold, so you mothers and sons should pay attention to it. The Queen Mother, it's inconvenient for me to go for the time being, you go and greet ...... for me" After eating, he wiped his mouth, and Liu Chengyou commanded Dafu.

The Queen Mother Li is still a Buddha, because of the destruction of the Buddha, she is very angry, and she has been for a while, and she doesn't pay much attention to Liu Chengyou. However, he was angry, and he never said anything about the imperial court's move to destroy Buddha, and interfered with the queen mother's dignity to cause trouble for Liu Chengyou.

In the harem, if you talk about the great righteousness, the queen mother is the first to deserve. The more time passes, the more respectful Liu Chengyou is for this mother, and from the heart.

"Yes! I understand! The queen understood very well, and got up to salute: "Send it to the official's house!" ”

Liu Chengyou, who returned to Chongzheng Palace, quickly recovered and entered his role. The gradual centralization of the monarch's power was accompanied by the centralization of government affairs, and too many affairs needed to be personally reviewed, resolved, and approved.

The increase in the burden made Liu Chengyou occasionally feel unbearable, but this is the necessary price of the monarch's centralized power. With authority in hand, you still want to be relaxed and calm, how can there be such a good thing.

There are two people in the palace, Prime Minister Feng Dao, and Xue Juzheng, deputy envoy of the Third Division. Compared with the Han Xing, the ministers in the court have basically changed, although Wang Zhang still has the name of the prime minister, but he has basically retreated behind the scenes, recuperating at home, and the current head of the three divisions is Xue Juzheng.

Xue Ju is in the prime of life, good at reading and sensitive to articles, generous and simple, with a gentleman's style, and can't help but admire him. Compared with Wang Zhang, for Liu Chengyou, the son of heaven, Xue Juzheng seems to be more respectful.

"Your Majesty, this is the three divisions and ministers, calculating and verifying, drawing up the state and county orders to record the officials and households, please Your Majesty to see the imperial review!" In a meticulous gesture, present the movement in his hand.

Measuring the number of county officials and households is a task given by Liu Chengyou a few days ago, and the efficiency of the three divisions is still a little slow in Liu Chengyou's opinion. After a little browsing, it is basically determined according to the number of household registrations, more than 3,000 households in the county, 10,000 per month, and 8,000 in the main book; More than 2,000 households, 8,000 per month, 5,000 in the main book; Less than 2,000 households, 6,000 per month, and 4,000 in the main book......

After the discussion and agreement of the ministers, there was basically no loophole, and it was successfully passed from Liu Chengyou's side: "But! I have no objection, so I will do it! ”

Before Xue Juzheng could respond, he heard Liu Chengyou add another sentence: "However, the number of registered Dingkou in Tianxia County still needs to be re-investigated and verified." This time, the rectification of Buddhism and the compilation of lay monks can take the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive investigation! ”

The "census" has already been carried out one after another during Liu Chengyou's reign, but due to the limited energy of the imperial court and the lack of control over the local area, it has been intermittent and there has been no major breakthrough. The will of the emperor to do this is to be thoroughly implemented.

Thinking about how to complete the political task assigned by the Son of Heaven, Xue Juzheng didn't say anything, but was ordered: "Yes!" ”

"Can there be new progress in the rectification of Buddhist temples?" Liu Chengyou turned to Feng Dao.

The growth of age does not seem to have left obvious changes on Feng Laofox's face, and he maintains a good attitude, Feng Dao is still like that, with a pale beard and a strong spirit. Today's Feng Dao has become the nominal head of the political hall.

"I am about to report to Your Majesty!" Get up first, when the number of salutes arrives, then sit down, and say to Liu Chengyou: "According to the reports of various prefectures, as of September 20, 22,620 monasteries have been abolished in the territory of the Great Han Kingdom, 109,300 monks and nuns are registered, 3,763 criminals who have violated the law have been taken to shelter criminals, and about 5.2 million mu of land has been confiscated......

A string of data, the results are remarkable, but it also represents the difficulty of the interpretation of Buddhism, and the sky is falling apart.

"It's been a great harvest!" Liu Chengyou spoke in a relaxed tone and nodded in response.

Seeing this, Feng Dao couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, the scale of this rectification of the Buddha has been so large and the drastic means that it has climbed to the extreme. There are quite criticisms among the people, and the head of the Qianqian does not understand His Majesty's grand strategy, and does not know the righteousness of the imperial court. In the opinion of the old ministers, the rectification of Buddhist temples should be stopped at the right time to ease the people's feelings and vent the people's anger. Otherwise, I am afraid of causing even greater turmoil! ”

"Feng Qing's words for the country!" Seeing Feng Dao's worried expression on his face, Liu Chengyou said directly: "Buddhism boasts of teaching and persuading goodness, and people who are outside the Qing Dynasty are cultivating outside, but now they are coercing the people with demagoguery to resist the imperial court. The matter has come to this point, don't give up halfway, otherwise there will be more troubles left behind! ”

Liu Chengyou's words are really unreasonable. Since ancient times, taking people's money, such as killing parents, the court to destroy the Buddha, for the Buddhist temple, it is not just as simple as taking money, there is a worry of destroying the Tao, can you still ask the other generation to not move like a mountain, accept it safely?

When Feng Dao heard this, he was also helpless, but he didn't dare, and there was no need to disobey the emperor's wishes.

There has been a local rebound, and it is still within the acceptable range of Liu Chengyou. According to the previous investigation, there are about 35,000 temples in the Daozhou of the Han Dynasty, and now they are abandoned, and there are still nearly 10,000 temples left from the original goal.
