The army was on the side, and the attempted extermination of Buddha in the river went very smoothly, and it turned out that in this troubled era, Buddhism had a great impact on the people, especially those foolish people who had sustenance. Only the official army surrounded and controlled the two temples of Qiyan and Pufu, which caused a burst of criticism among the people, and in this regard, Liu Chengyou was even more determined to take action.

Regarding the disposal of the two monasteries, Liu Chengyou, in the name of pursuing the "traitorous party", wanted to kill all the monks of the two monasteries in line with the idea of "rather killing mistakes than letting go", so as to eliminate the remaining evils. Fortunately, Feng Dao, Fan Zhen and other ministers tried their best to dissuade them, and after careful consideration, Liu Chengyou decided to accept the advice.

However, the death penalty could be avoided, but the living crime could not be escaped, and the two monasteries were severely punished to warn those who had different intentions.

Most of the thousands of monks in the two monasteries were dismissed and ordered to be naturalized, leaving less than 30 monks who were proficient in Buddhism. The money and food in the temple were exhausted, and all kinds of bronze statues and all the magic weapons stained with gold and silver were basically confiscated and sent back to the barracks to be transported back to Tokyo to smelt and mint money.

All the land contracts owned by the Buddhist monasteries were nullified, and all the land was distributed to the households who worked for them, as well as those monks who had returned to the laity, and the people's morale suddenly improved a lot. Only according to the number of monks left in the temple, a certain amount of land was left for the two temples, and in the future, the monks would not only chant sutras and chant Buddha, but also cultivate land and grow vegetables.

Originally, according to Liu Chengyou's idea, there was still a heavy tax on the Buddhist temple, but considering that after such a wave of mattress wool, there would be no oil and water for a long time to come, so it was temporarily stopped. In addition, the government also conducts regular inspections of Buddhist temples......

The above is only for the two big temples of Qiyan and Pufu, which are still quite profound, and under the Hezhong Mansion, the rest of the temples or any small mountains and small temples are all deposed, and all the monks are driven out of the Buddhist temple. In the future, most of the people in the river will have to travel long distances if they want to worship the Buddha and incense, and whether they are devout and faithful depends on whether they can endure the long distance.

This series of disposal measures is really extremely harsh and cruel for Buddhism. And according to the affairs in the river, it has almost set the tone for the next Buddha destruction, and there are examples to follow when it should be dealt with. A winter for Buddhism is coming, and according to the rise and fall of Buddhism, the catastrophe is coming, and it is time to prepare for the catastrophe.

In the camp, the cleared open space is piled up with large and small bronze statues, utensils, bowls, gold and silver, coins and other things, and the harvest of destroying the Buddha is most intuitively displayed in front of Liu Chengyou.

"Just two Buddhist temples have amassed so much wealth." The indifferent exclamation is chilling.

The probe touched the smiling face of a Maitreya, and a trace of coolness passed through his fingertips, Liu Chengyou said: "For this bronze statue, I don't know how much new money can be minted?" ”

"Transported back to Tokyo, Wang Xianggong must be overjoyed." Fan Zhen was beside him, looking at the Son of Heaven who couldn't take his eyes off, and echoed.

"Tell Yan Jinqing to send these gold, silver and bronze artifacts back to Kaifeng as the first batch of materials to return to Beijing!" With a wave of his hand, Liu Chengyou said directly.

At the same time as the "rectification" of the Buddhist temple in the river, the withdrawal of troops has been gradually launched. More than 100,000 people gather together, and people eat and chew horses, and the consumption of each day is not a small number. And, seeing that the autumn harvest has arrived, the farming is busy, and it is the time when there is a shortage of labor, the conscripted laborers and state and town soldiers have been thinking about the acres of land at home.

First of all, Liu Chengyou returned the more than 30,000 people collected from Hezhong, Jinjiang, and Shaanxi to the townships and towns, and gave money and grain to each of them. At the same time, in the event of war, the state was ordered to reduce the autumn tax of this year, and the dead and wounded, as well as those who had made hard contributions, were exempted from hard labor......

In fact, these states did not provide much finance and taxes to the imperial court, and even if they did, they were mostly intercepted by the enemy.

Hazhong Province is a good year this year, but it has suffered the most serious wounds from the war, and the young and strong people have suffered the most casualties. And from the rule of Li Shouzhen, the abundant treasury in the river can also be seen that even if it is ripe, the life of the Li people is also very hard. Liu Chengyou's edict to benefit the people can be described as a rainstorm, at least with some hard work, this winter may not be so difficult.

After the labor was disposed of, the local state and town troops who had been requisitioned were also released in batches. Although the loyalty of the Fangzhen army is debatable, in the early stage of this counterinsurgency campaign, it basically relied on these soldiers and horses to withstand it.

......

In the mansion, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, more than a dozen officers gathered together in twos and threes, talking quietly, all kinds of things, there may be differences in military ranks, but they all have a common characteristic, young.

These people are all officers who have made meritorious contributions in this counterinsurgency war. In fact, for most of the officers and soldiers of the forbidden army, it was just a round of conscription qualifications. The victory of the army is more about group merit, personal play, among tens of thousands of troops, if you want to be brilliant, it is really not so easy, unless you enter the protagonist mode. And these officers are all outstanding people.

Zhao Kuangyin is among them, regardless of seniority, status, and military position, they are all the inferior, in fact, until now, he still has some doubts in his heart, how could the Son of Heaven summon him by name. Up to now, he is still an unknown person, and if he thinks about it carefully, it is a credit to behead Li Chongxun, but Zhao Kuangyin thinks that it is not a great achievement......

While thinking, his eyes swept around the magnificent yatang, paying attention to those generals and observing silently. Aiming at a handsome officer who was lone behind, a smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and greeted him with his hand: "In Xia Zhao Kuangyin, I have seen this benevolent brother." ”

Zhang Yongde was not in a good mood in front of a quiet beautiful man, the contradiction between him and Li Chongjin was getting more and more serious, they were all relatives, and they were a little helpless. Perhaps Guo Wei's exhortation has had the opposite effect, and his jealousy of Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin has become more and more serious. This time with the army, the two didn't have much communication, so they met and choked each other.

Zhao Kuangyin came up, although he didn't have much interest in his heart, but seeing his kind smile, out of good demeanor and self-cultivation, he returned a salute: "Zhang Yongde!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly showed a touch of surprise, and said in an admiring tone: "The foot is Commander Zhang, who broke into the city with the command of Liu Du, and followed Liu Du to command the envoy to break through the mansion and rescue the treasury, and was personally rewarded by His Majesty Brother Yongde?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin's flattering reaction made Zhang Yongde a little surprised, a little embarrassed, and said reservedly: "Meager merit is not enough." ”

As he spoke, he glanced up and down at Zhao Kuangyin a few times, and said thoughtfully: "Zhao Kuangyin? The one who captured and killed Li Chongxun was Brother Zhao. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's face didn't change much, let alone the arrogant look, and it was like saying a trivial thing: "Brother Zhang is actually famous?" But it's the honor of the younger brother......"

“......”

"Brother Zhang, do you know, what is the Son of Heaven calling me for?"

“......”

When Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde were talking about each other and quickly calling themselves brothers, they sang with the chamberlain Zhang Dejun: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

Immediately interrupted the two who were talking happily, and everyone was suddenly lined up neatly, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Liu Chengyou's footsteps were windy, stepped into the hall from outside, and sat in front of the seat, lifting his robe.

"Your Majesty!" A cadre of generals bowed neatly.

"No rudeness!" Liu Chengyou's voice was short and powerful.

Scanning the more than ten generals in the hall, Liu Chengyou had some love in his eyes. Ma Quanyi, Yang Ye, Fu Zhaoxin, Gao Huaide, Li Chongju, Zhao Yanjin, Wang Hanlun, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin......

is either the second generation of officials or the second generation of the army, even if it is Yang Ye, his family is also a strong party in Linzhou. The only grassroots is Ma Quanyi's, but he is the earliest confidant general who followed Liu Chengyou, and he is also the highest military rank among the people present.

After a little deliberation, Liu Chengyou opened his mouth to speak: "You are all young heroes in the forbidden army, rising stars, and the cornerstone backbone of the Han army in the future......"
