Tao Hua listened to Zheng Tong's question, but asked rhetorically: "Could it be that the prince hasn't discovered the difference in Prime Minister Liu Jianjian until now?" ”

"Oh, sir, where does this begin?" Zheng Tong listened, but he was surprised by the difference in his heart, and then asked.

Tao Hua listened to this question, but said with some hatred: "The prince looks at Liu Jian, he is neither from a family nor a nobleman, but only from a commoner, he was only a county guard in the third year of Jianqi, and he became the prime minister all of a sudden, and he was only in his thirties, how young is it?" He has been the prime minister for thirteen years now, and it can be said that the power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, but the first emperor is not afraid at all, he has been appointed prime minister since he was in his early thirties, and he is constantly entrusted with heavy power, how can he be? Could it be that the first emperor really trusted him so much? ”

"Of course it can't be, the first emperor ascended to the throne from the position of the crown prince, it is absolutely orthodox, and the emperor's learning is still understood, how can he really trust a person without reservation? But the first emperor did this, why? That shows that Liu Jian's identity is definitely wrong, and he has another layer of identity. Tao Hua said calmly.

Zheng Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he continued: "What Mr. means is that there is an organization like bad people in the entire Daqian royal family secretly, escorting the royal family, but it is hidden too deeply, and Liu Jian's other identity is definitely an important figure in this organization, and he may be the leader of this generation, but why hasn't this king heard of it, this is too incredible!" The more Zhou Tong's eyes widened, obviously he still didn't believe it.

Tao Hua looked at Zheng Tong like this, touched his chin and said: "What the prince said is generally right, but compared with bad people, it is a little taken for granted. Thinking about the more than 300 years of great cadres, no matter which generation of emperors established the organization, the royal family secretly and constantly supporting, is now a behemoth, and it is a behemoth rooted in all strata of the great cadres, I am excited to think about it. Tao Hua said this, his face was full of excitement.

Zheng Tong listened, but he was dumbfounded, he couldn't think of what such a big organization would be like anyway, but he knew in his heart that the thoughts he was hiding in his heart were really extravagant, and he was a little depressed for a while.

As for his good brother, the money he wants to get desperately is just a fantasy, and he can't go all the way to the dark.

Then he opened his mouth and asked, "Sir, how about this king invite himself to be a vassal in three years?" This king of Yanjing has stayed for so many years, but he is tired of it, and it is not bad to go to the place, this king is confident that he will be able to live a day, and he will save himself from suffering in Yanjing! Zheng Tong said with Zhan Wang.

Tao Hua sat on the big chair, listening to Zheng Tong's words, but he was extremely surprised in his heart, could it be that the prince wanted to give up and take a step back to open the sky, but how could it be?

He shook his head, and then said: "The prince's mind is not bad, but people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, how can they really take a step back?" Since ancient times, the royal family has fought for the crown prince, and the prince is the loser of the prince, looking at the thoughts of His Majesty today, I am afraid that you will never let the princes leave Beijing to become a vassal, after all, for Your Majesty today, it is better to watch under your nose than to stir up the wind and rain in the distance. The old man advised the prince to dispel this thought as soon as possible. Tao Hua said with some self-deprecation, with a hint of sarcasm.

Zheng Tong listened, but he was not angry, because what he said was the truth, what he just said was just extravagant hope, and he understood in his heart that it was just that so many things had happened in the past few months, it was too much trouble, and he was a little tired, and he was just talking nonsense.

When you reach your own position, it is no longer a person's business, such as sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

……

The next day, the sun rose high, and the "Daqian Royal Weekly" and the "Daqian Weekly" were published on the same day, and both newspapers made different reports on the Yanjing fire that night.

The "Daqian Royal Weekly" reported as follows: On the night of 15 November, a large number of rioters attacked 108 large and small Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Yanjing, killing people and setting fires, and all Buddhist temples and Taoist temples were burned down, and the monks and Taoists were killed and injured a lot...... Here, congratulations to the great Qian, congratulations to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, 10,000 years!

This was sent in accordance with Zheng Wen's instructions, and its naked insinuation of Tang King Zheng Jiao made many people in Yanjing dumbfounded!

However, the "Daqian Weekly" reported that on the night of 15 November, a large number of rioters attacked and burned down 108 Taoist temples and temples in Yanjing, and a lot of gold and silver were looted, and many monks and Taoists were killed and wounded...... Good will prevail, evil will fail!

Both newspapers focused on the loss of Buddhism in Yanjing City, the former was witty and intense, slapping His Majesty's ass, and the latter was dull and dry, and at first glance it was an official tone, which made people not interested in reading.

The people at the bottom should be a lively look, but the people at the top and people of insight saw it, but they understood that this was the attitude of His Majesty and the court towards Buddhism and Taoism, and this was a precursor to suppressing Buddhism!

At this time, Liu Jian, who was in Jinling, also received news about the Yanjing fire.

He was shocked in his heart, and after wandering and thinking for a few days, he finally made up his mind.

So, he summoned Li Shi and Li Yaozu, the county guards of Jinling, to meet in the Jinling County Ya.

After greeting each other, Liu Jian said straight to the point: "Li Dai County Shou, the prime minister summoned you today to order you to lead people to thoroughly investigate the two gates of Buddhism and Taoism in Jinling County, and to check its acres of land. He commanded with a serious face.

"Xiangye has made up his mind!" Li Yaozu said with some surprise.

Liu Jian listened, nodded, and then said: "There is news from Yanjing, on November 15, one hundred and eight Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Yanjing City were maliciously burned, and the monks and Taoists were killed and injured countless times, and most of the Temple of Heaven was also burned, so it is time to make up your mind to do it." He said calmly.

Li Yaozu gasped when he heard this, although Liu Xiang said it simply, but in his heart, the entanglement in his heart was very complicated.

But he was still a little worried and said: "Xiangye, it stands to reason that the second gate of Buddhism and Taoism has suffered heavy losses this time, and we are still doing this, I'm afraid it's not good, in case we do half of it, but Your Majesty and the court suddenly stopped, what should we do?" ”

"You, think about it a lot, you have to look at this thing the other way, this one hundred and eight Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Yanjing were maliciously burned down overnight, why? It's not that the power of Buddhism and Taoism is too big, otherwise how can anyone deliberately target it, in this case, the power of the second sect of Buddhism and Taoism has entered the eyes of the upper echelons of Yanjing, and the suppression of the second sect of Buddhism and Taoism has become an inevitable trend. Because of Daqian, it is His Majesty, the court, the officials, the nobles, and the family who rule the people, and they are constantly pointing fingers at Daqian! Liu Jian said domineeringly.

Li Yaozu listened, but he understood, the fire in Yanjing, although the second gate of Buddhism and Taoism suffered heavy losses, but the situation of the rapid growth of the power of the second gate of Buddhism and Taoism will inevitably be shown in the eyes of the superstructure of Yanjing, this situation is unbearable for His Majesty and the court, the influence of the second gate of Buddhism and Taoism in the people is too great, this is the foundation of the rule of the great cadres, maybe it will endanger the rule of the great cadres, even if it is a one-in-10,000 possibility, it is also unbearable for any person in power, so the suppression has become inevitable.

And this is also the reason why Liu Jian heard the news of Yanjing and decided to do it without hesitation.

Thinking about it, Li Yaozu was ecstatic in his heart, saluted Liu Jian, and said, "Don't worry, Xiangye, the next official will go and arrange it." He said goodbye in a hurry.

On this day, Li Yaozu took the officials of Jinling and borrowed 3,000 soldiers from the Jinling camp to start his visit to the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple in Jinling.

Li Yaozu arrested more than 100 people just to escape punishment and became a monk, and under the pretext of the mutiny in Jinling, many land deeds were lost and burned, and all land in Jinling had to be reissued, forcibly confiscated the land deeds of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and told them to re-evaluate their purposes.

For a while, Li Yaozu was infinitely beautiful, but the monks and Taoist priests in Jinling were so angry that they gritted their teeth and kept cursing Li Yaozu behind their backs, hoping that this offending family fire would die early.

At this time, it was already evening in Jinling, the sun was setting, and the golden glow was sprinkled on Jinling City, showing a strange appearance!

Master Xuanku, the host of Jinguang Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Jinling, and Wei Yanzi, the master of Qingguang Temple, the largest Taoist temple, sat together for the first time.

The Degao Inn, which is not open today, is an industry under the Jinguang Temple.

At this time, Xuan Ku and Wei Yanzi sat opposite each other quietly, and they were speechless for a while, today they are both difficult brothers, and they are each working hard in their hearts.

After all, Xuan Ku was the Lord, so he took the lead in saying: "Amitabha, Wei Yanzi is a real person, don't come to harm!" ”

"Master Xuanku, but I have won the award, and the real person is not comfortable today, master, tell me, Li Yaozu's petty official is so abrupt to trouble us, and he has to make an inch, it's really amazing, why is this?" Dao Yanzi listened to it, and immediately continued to complain.

"Yes, this Li Yaozu is so crazy, there must be a reliance on it, and the poor monk thinks that this reliance must be Liu Jian, the prime minister who has just arrived in Jinling!" Xuan Ku, just said.

"It's just, why did Liu Jian do this? Now look at the first is to suppress our Buddhism, it's really incredible. Or is this Liu Jian's idea, Li Yaozu's guy has become the executor, otherwise, he would lend Li Yaozu ten guts, and he wouldn't dare to do it in Jinling! ”
