Chapter 45: The Ruling and the Opposition Shake
The government and the opposition were shaken.
What General Hyeonjong did was simply to hang a plaque with "shame" written on it above Lao Li's head.
The life-saving benefactor did such a unconscionable thing, which made Lao Li angry.
At the court meeting, Cheng Huailiang came very early, wrote a recital for a night, and without sleeping all night, Cheng Huailiang came to the imperial city in a hurry.
Fei Jun and Zhou Huacong are also red-eyed, they haven't slept all night, Zhenguan has been killing since the beginning of the year, and the only time he has killed is from the hands of the two of them, and he is a little nervous about sleeplessness.
The two of them are ready, determined to fight to the end against that group of imperial historians. can see Cheng Huailiang holding a thick notebook, and the hanging hearts of the two of them are somewhat put down.
"Huailiang, let's come to our two hometowns. The imperial historians have an enmity with you, don't have a basin on your head when the time comes. Fei Jun was right to be worried.
"Uncle Fei, it's okay. The group of scumbag nephews haven't taken it to heart yet. It was the little nephew who started the killing ring, which affected the two uncles. Cheng Huailiang saluted the two, and Zhou Huacong hurriedly helped Cheng Huailiang up.
"Huailiang, if you change to someone else, you will also open a killing ring, it's nothing more than that we made a start in the Zhenguan year, it doesn't matter, we are all a lot old, and we don't care about these." Zhou Huacong let out a long breath, "However, if you can rescue those children, you can give an explanation to the people of the world, and that's enough." β
As he was talking, hundreds of civil and military officials walked in one after another.
The generals gave Cheng Huailiang a thumbs up, and Wei Chigong's voice was very loud, "Well done, you're not happy to see those bald donkeys earlier." β
After Lao Cheng came in, he glared at Cheng Huailiang, and then glanced at Fei Jun and Zhou Huacong with his eyes, although he had just finished drinking with Fei Jun for a day, he still said, "I've been looking at you dog officials who are not happy, but this time the matter is handled ...... Pretty! If it weren't for His Majesty's promise, I Lao Cheng would have killed Xianzong's beast a few years ago. β
The generals looked at Fei Jun and Zhou Huacong with some admiration in their eyes, but they also had a little regret, it would be better if they did this kind of thing only after they were old killers.
Fei Xingjian and Fang Yiai also walked in at this time, and Fang Yiai's recital book was also thick, recording in detail what happened, seeing Cheng Huailiang, he nodded heavily at Cheng Huailiang, and then occupied Wenchen's team.
Lao Li's face was extremely ugly, and he sat on the dragon chair panting heavily.
The most important thing is an old man in his seventies, standing beside Guo Huairen, and the notebook in his hand is also very thick. Beside the old man was a man in a Taoist robe, which was incompatible with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
"That's Fu Yi." Hou Junji, who was beside Cheng Huailiang, told Cheng Huailiang very timely.
"Uncle Xie Hou instructs."
"White-eyed wolf!" Hou Junji once again hated iron but not steel.
Cheng Huailiang was curious, he and Hou Junji really didn't intersect, why did Hou Junji say that he was a white-eyed wolf twice?
Just as he was about to ask, Lao Li spoke, "Harvesting and cutting?" I didn't expect such a heinous thing to happen in my Datang. Since the early years of Zhenguan, I have never opened such a big killing ring, and I also believe in Buddhism and worship Buddha. Now tell me whether I should believe in this Buddha or not. β
"Your Majesty." Fu Yi walked out of Wenchen's team and bowed to Lao Li, "The minister was born in Xiangzhou and served as a county magistrate. There were 6,000 people in a county, and there was an innumerable amount of land. But there are six temples in this county, and there are 1,400 monks. These monks do not work, do not farm, do not engage in business, eat fasting and recite Buddha every day, and their annual income is indeed more than ten times the tax revenue of the county government, and their land accounts for one-third of the land of a county. Don't you understand that you can evade taxes after shaving? Can you exploit the people? Can they use their demon books to trick the people into stealing money? β
"Your Majesty, the life and death of a person is determined by nature, and the punishment is determined by the monarch. Buddhism, on the other hand, says that the rich and the poor are ruled by the Buddha. This is the power of stealing the power of the master, and the power of doing it without permission. There was no Buddha when the Three Emperors and Five Emperors were the emperors, and the monarchs and ministers were loyal for a long time. Before the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a strict law prohibiting people from shaving their hair and becoming monks. Because of the worship of the Buddha, the monarch is mediocre, the ministers are treacherous, and the court is turbid, and Emperor Wu of Liang is especially a precept. In the past, King Zhou You's wind and fire played the princes and was able to lose the country. Today, 100,000 monks and nuns carved clay Buddhas to confuse the world. In the long run, the country will not be a country, and the king will not be a king......"
Li Shimin didn't speak, Fu Yi's goal in life was to kill Buddhism and expel Buddhism from the Central Plains, and he looked at Buddhism with pure resentment. So, Lao Li looked at the others and wanted to ask them if they had anything to say.
The officials of the imperial historian stood up and saluted Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the minister has always felt that Lord Fu and Buddhism have a common enmity, so they hate Buddhism so much. If it is really like what Master Fu said, then the minister wants to ask Lord Fu, do you want to destroy the Buddha directly or keep the Buddha? β
"Expelled from the Central Plains and exterminated." Fu Yi was very excited, "General Xianzong is the best example. Now only General Hyeonjong has been found, and there are other monks who are doing things that have lost their conscience behind their backs. I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. β
"Buddha, it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if you kill all the monks? The ignorant people will still believe in it secretly. Seeing that he had the upper hand, the man who stood up hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Religion becomes faith, just as you believe in the monarch." It has long been ingrained. Fu Yi, who is about to enter the earth, don't think about destroying the Buddha anymore, it is impossible to achieve it in this life. β
Fu Yi was so angry with a few words that he trembled, his brain circuit was a little slow when he was older, and he didn't find a way to refute it for a while.
"Uncle Hou, who is this bastard? At this time, he actually stood up and provoked? Cheng Huailiang gloated a little, "Uncle Hou, you see that the faces of the three giants of Wenchen are all green with anger; Looking at Uncle Fei and Uncle Zhou, both of them were shaking their hands......"
"This is the nephew of the great writer Cai Yungong, the young scholar of the imperial history and the young scholar Cai Wenhao. He is a good friend of Ouyang Tong. Hou Junji sighed, "Cai Yungong's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and Fu Yi's manuscript today is estimated to be rejected again." I am over 70 years old, and I have worked hard all my life for a long-cherished wish, but I can't finish it. β
"It's not that it's not impossible, it's a very simple thing, it's too complicated for Mr. Fu Yi to think."
As soon as Cheng Huailiang finished speaking, he felt that he was being kicked on his buttocks, and his body was affected by inertia, and he leaned out a few steps and stood in the middle of the civil and military teams.
"Cheng Aiqing is so excited, but has something to say?" Lao Li saw that Fu Yi was speechless, and when he was embarrassed, the Cheng family's dog calf took the initiative to stand up, and Lao Li was overjoyed.
Cheng Huailiang did the right thing, Lao Li had long wanted to kill the monk Xianzong, but when he said it, Lao Li really couldn't find a suitable reason, and then used legitimate means to kill Xianzong.
