Pei Min flipped through the monk's account books, and the smile on his face was even better. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The anonymous report letter he received today was useless, but it made him think of Hui Fan unexpectedly, and thought of several Buddha extermination incidents known as "Three Martial Arts and One Sect" in history. The Three Wu and One Sect are the Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao, the Northern Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong, and the later Tang Wuzong Li Yan and the Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong.

These four emperors, whether they are Tuoba Tao, Yu Wenyong, Li Yan, or Chai Rong, are very capable, they are not full of food and nothing to do, and they can't get along with religious beliefs, but a group of monks and nuns who should be in peace with themselves threaten their existence. Because of the rapid development of Buddhism, it has brought huge economic benefits to temples and monks, and Buddhist temples enjoy tax exemptions, fields, maidservants, slaves and other privileges, so that the national wealth is concentrated in Buddhist temples and falls into the pockets of monks, which seriously affects the development of the country's economy, so that a hundred years later, when the Buddha is destroyed, it is said that "ten of the world's wealth, and the Buddha has seven or eight". In addition, because the monks do not produce and do not perform labor, they also have a large number of servants, maids. In ancient times, when human resources were scarce, the impact of this phenomenon on the country's economy and military was even worse, and it was even more unbearable for the rulers, which is why there were repeated incidents of exterminating Buddha.

Pei Min still remembers one thing in his memory, in the later period of the Anshi Rebellion, the imperial court had no money to pay military salaries, so he asked the monk for perfume money, and then increased his income by one million in ten days. It can be seen that the richest people in the world are temple monks and nuns, and this is not false at all. A group of monks who do not produce and do not pay taxes enjoy land, maidservants, and slaves. This great good deed has been enjoyed by a group of monks who chant scriptures, how can there be such a reason.

Pei Min is not aimed at faith, but since Buddhism emphasizes the emptiness of the four major bodies, everything is something outside the body. Then you should recite the scriptures well, and in your spare time, enlighten and enlighten those who need soul comfort, what do you want so many privileges for?

was worried about the lack of opportunities to perform, Pei Min thought of this incident and decisively decided to take action against the monks and nuns in the temple to cure the big malpractice of religion. Do not allow monks and nuns to use the doctrine of faith to act recklessly.

Chongxuan has the accounts of all the monks and nuns in Beijing, so I came here to see how Buddhism is developing in this era and how harmful it is to the Tang Dynasty.

That's why there is a line of Honglu Temple today.

It has been more than ten days since Li Longji officially took power in the congenital coup, and in these ten days, there are eleven monks recorded.

You must know that monks are a disaster, which has long been valued by the rulers, and there have been two incidents of exterminating Buddhism before, in order to limit the development of Buddhism: for the selection of monks, all dynasties have clear regulations, and the Tang Dynasty also has ten regulations:

1. You can't be too old or too young, and you must be able to take care of yourself.

Second, we must be strong-willed, able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and be able to withstand the hardships of one food, one residence, one sleep, and less food.

3. Parental permission.

Fourth, there can be no criminal record for the four crimes, that is, the four precepts of adultery, murder, theft, and adultery.

Fifth, the motive of becoming a monk is pure, and it is not a thief's heart to enter the Tao.

Sixth, the will is firm, the belief is clear.

7. There is no debt, and it is not to escape from creditors and become a monk, change your name and surname.

8. Be in good health, have ringworm scabies, yellow rot, leprosy, carbuncles, hemorrhoids, forbidden, yellow disease, malaria, cough, madness, fever, rheumata, edema, abdominal swelling and other diseases and cannot leave home.

9. The limbs are complete and the facial features are upright. It is forbidden to be a monk if the hands and feet are unsound, deaf, dumb, blind, lame, bent-waisted, dwarf, and extremely ugly......

10. Officials serving in the DPRK and the Central Committee are also not allowed to leave their homes.

These ten regulations are indispensable, and it can be said that if you want to be a monk, it is not easier than taking the civil service examination in later generations, and eleven degrees will be issued in a short period of time, and there must be ghosts among them.

Nowadays, it is not only the situation of monks and nuns that is serious, but also the phenomenon of official arbitrary distribution of degrees. This kind of indiscriminate distribution was not uncommon in the early days when the Taiping Party was in power, especially Hui Fan, a thief monk, liked to do this thing. It is also because of this that he copied Hui Fan's house, and he copied 13 million yuan at once, which was enough to pay Datang's military salary for several years.

Before this, Pei Min was not in his position and did not seek his own government, and he was powerless to take care of it, but now that the new era is coming, the Taiping Party is almost subdued, and there is even Xiaoxiao who uses this to fill his own pockets!

Pei Min took the account book of the past few years in his hand, and kept knocking, making bursts of sounds.

Lu Li only felt that his heart was beating with the sound, and he was sweating thinking about the "prestige" of Yushitai.

"What do you want to say? There is a saying in my Yushitai that confession is lenient, resistance is strict, and only obedient people do not have to enjoy punishment. Pei Min stopped beating and said with a smile.

The voice stopped, and Lu Li only felt that his heart had stopped beating, and he knelt on the ground in fright, and said: "I was wronged, I was just a petty official below, I was powerless to interfere, and I didn't go along with them." ”

Pei Min asked, "Who are they?" ”

Lu Li didn't dare to deceive and said: "Ren Lin, the ancestral secretary, Ruan Song, the ancestral hall, Langzhong, ......"

When Pei Min heard these two names, his eyes lit up, he really caught a big fish for him. The ancestral hall is fully responsible for the distribution of monks and monks, so it is also called the ancestral hall. It is reasonable that the ancestral hall cannot escape the relationship in this matter. It's just that he never thought of the new era and new atmosphere, as the supreme official of the ancestral hall, he hasn't reined in yet, and he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Pei Min smiled at Lu Li and said with a gentle smile: "Let's believe your words, remember, don't leak today's events to anyone, otherwise you will have a seat in the prison of Yushitai." After today's events, he found that the prison of Yushitai is not an ordinary horror in the eyes of the world, but definitely the most terrifying way to threaten. There are a lot of people staring at him now, and it won't be long before the news of his entry into Honglu Temple will spread to all the official offices and institutions in the outer city of the Imperial City, and the same must be true of the ancestral hall. If he brought Lu Li back, there would be a risk of startling the snake.

The ancestral hall is one of the sub-departments of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites has little real power, but it has the widest network of the six departments. It will be a lot more trouble for them to be well prepared, which is also the reason why it is difficult for Jingguan to do.

Pei Min wants to kill with one hit, not extraneous branches, Lu Li is just a small person in charge of the information, and it doesn't make much sense to arrest him.

"Understood, understood!" Lu Li's head was like a chicken eating rice, and he didn't dare to question it at all.

Walking out of Honglu Temple, Pei Min couldn't help but ask: "Is this Imperial Observatory's prison really so terrifying?" ”

Wang Xiaobai nodded very seriously, and said cautiously: "People like Di Guolao admit to rebellion after arresting all the prisons, let alone others?" ”

Pei Min lifted his forehead and sighed, it seemed that there was really something like that in his memory.

Returning to the Yushitai, Pei Min immediately gave an order.

Eleven monks who have recently registered on the record, whether they are real monks or fake monks, are "invited" to come to the Yushitai.

Wang Xiaobai and the others responded with high interest and dispersed.

The archives of Honglu Temple are very detailed, and the ordained monks are clearly recorded in which temple they were ordained, what their name was before they were ordained, and where they lived. If the time is long, the record may not be accurate, but in the past ten days, the file record is still accurate.

However, in two hours, the eleven monks who had been recorded had been invited to the Yushitai.

Pei Min looked at the monk in front of him with a smile, among them there were eight oily heads and powdered faces, not to mention that he hadn't even done the most basic work of shaving, his hair was well born on the top, and he knew that he was full of oil and water at a glance.

"What kind of place is this, you know?" Pei Min said terrible things with a kind smile: "Lai Junchen has a copy of "Luo Weaving Sutra", which records the criminal law he invented, and I have not been in power for a long time, and I have not tried it yet. Any of you who would like to try ......"

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Before Pei Min's words were finished, the monks knelt down crying one by one, and some were even so frightened that they were incontinent.

Yu Shitai, Lai Junchen, torture!

Every word is as terrible as a demon.

There is no need for interrogation at all, and the murderous name of the Yushitai has already made them all confess.

None of the eleven ordained monks were monks, and their ancestral halls were all bought with money to avoid taxes. Among them, the richest fake monk's ancestral hall was actually bought for 40,000 yuan.

The value of 40,000 guan is equivalent to more than several million yuan.

The fake monk is willing to spend such a large amount of money to buy the ancestral temple, because with the identity of the monk, he can be exempted from more taxes. After interrogation, their ancestral hall was purchased from Ren Lin and Ruan Song through intermediaries, and combined with Lu Li's testimony, the charges of the two could not escape.

"Xiaobai! You lead a team of people to arrest the middleman who resells the ancestral hall to Yushitai, and the rest of the people follow me to the Ministry of Rites to capture Ren Lin and Ruan ......Song."

With the privilege of the Imperial Historical Observatory, Pei Min almost didn't spend much effort to capture Ren Lin and Ruan Song to the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Wang Xiaobai also arrested the relatives of Ren Lin and Ruan Song.

In the face of all this incriminating evidence, Ren Lin and Ruan Song knew that there was no room for maneuver and confessed.

Pei Min dismissed Li Longji from the results of the interrogation and asked him to make a verdict against Ren Lin and Ruan Song. Yushitai was directly responsible to the emperor in the procedure of dealing with criminals, so he directly uploaded the interrogation results of Ren Lin and Ruan Song to Li Longji. At the same time, he wrote a letter to show the harm of the temple, and passed it to Shangshu Province for approval.

After writing these two official documents, Pei Min stretched his waist with satisfaction, looking forward to tomorrow's court meeting.

At the same time, Honglu Temple Qing learned that Pei Min was doing power in Honglu Temple just to find an original enemy, and he was even more angry and blew his beard and glared, originally just casually talking, but now he was so angry that he walked directly into the inner hall, thinking about the wording, and grinding to prepare for the impeachment of Pei Min.

The news of Pei Min's capture of Ren Lin and Ruan Song reached Honglu Temple After Shaoqing of Honglu Temple heard about it, he contacted Pei Min to find Chongxuanling's move, and he thought about it in his heart, suddenly smiled, and said: "Cui Chengcheng is angry, and he ordered to go down, don't mention Pei Min's matter, so as not to make him angry." ”
