Lu Yanchang couldn't be sure if Li Qiu had betrayed him, but he didn't dare to gamble.

He only knew one thing, and that was that Li Qiu was not his person in the first place; This person was already ambitious, which made him difficult to trust, and now he was even closer to the envoy of Wu, and for the sake of prudence, the best way was naturally to try to replace him.

However, what he didn't expect was that today's envoy of Wu State had close contacts with Li Qiu on the surface, and they were in the same car, and they were talking late at night, but in fact, these two people were just having their own ghosts, and the content of their conversation was not an important thing, it was just some customs and customs of Qianzhou.

However, just as Yan Keqiu judged at the beginning, for a person like Lu Yanchang who doesn't have many brains, there is no need for any complicated discord schemes, as long as you can easily achieve your goals with some simple methods, such as showing such enthusiasm to Li Qiu this time is one of the strategies.

Lu Yanchang was already suspicious of Li Qiu in his heart, and coupled with the provocation of the envoy of Wu State, he immediately made up his mind to take down Li Qiu, the commander of the pro-army.

And the next day, when the envoy of Wu met with Lu Yanchang, Li Qiu and others again, he "accidentally" called Li Qiu "Li Envoy", which made Lu Yanchang even more angry.

The envoy of Wu State represented Wu State no matter what, so Lu Yanchang naturally didn't dare to do anything to him, but it was naturally different for Li Qiu.

Of course, he also knew that Li Qiu had been in charge of the pro-army for many years, and his prestige in the army was deep, and there were many henchmen, and if he acted rashly, he was afraid that not only could he not get rid of him, but he might suffer from it.

"This matter must be considered in the long run, first try to get rid of his henchmen, and then try to deal with him!" That's the plan he finally came up with.

It's not that he didn't want to go over to discuss with Tan Quanbo, but to be honest, his fear of Tan Quanbo is even higher than that of Li Qiu.

After all, no matter how Li Qiu said it, he was only his father's subordinate at the beginning, but Tan Quanbo's prestige was not even comparable to his father, and even when the incident started, everyone unanimously recommended Tan Quanbo to be the main one, and the reason why Lu Guangchou was able to take the position was the result of Tan Quanbo's strong support.

Lu Guangchou has the heart to tolerate and accept Tan Quanbo, and rely on him as a confidant, but how can Lu Yanchang's heart be compared to his father?

If it weren't for the fact that Tan Quanbo is indeed old now, and his words are not as effective as before, I am afraid that the position of the assassin of Qianzhou will not fall on his head Lu Yanchang.

With such a prestigious veteran, it is strange that Lu Yanchang is not always on the defensive, how can he ask him for advice?

A few days later, the envoy of Wu State left after completing the mission of the envoy, leaving only the people in Qianzhou City to continue to intrigue and fear each other.

In Jinling City, for Yang Wu, the seeds of civil strife in Qianzhou have been planted, and there is no need for him to pay attention to it all the time, just sit back and wait for the unrest in Qianzhou to happen.

However, a recent case in Jiangxi has attracted his great attention.

The facts of this case are actually not complicated, but the people involved make Yang Wu extremely angry and secretly happy at the same time.

In troubled times, often those Buddhism and Taoism will be greatly developed, especially the people in Buddhism, who are even more aggressively expanded.

There is no way, in the troubled times, when other ordinary people find it difficult to survive, those monks can often live a more nourishing life; Second, the killing in the troubled times is too heavy, and those heroes who love to kill on weekdays instead want to eat fast and recite Buddha and seek peace of mind.

Therefore, whether it is Qian Biao, Zhong Chuan, or Wang Zhenzhi of Fujian, they all vigorously build temples, that is, Yang Xingmi did not believe in these at the beginning, but advocated more to reduce killing and recuperate.

Therefore, in the territory of Wu today, there were not many temples on the territory of Huainan, but there were many temples in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places.

Especially in Jiangxi, Zhong Chuan has been in charge of Jiangxi for nearly 30 years, greatly promoting Buddhism, and temples are everywhere in Jiangxi, and the traces of monks can be seen everywhere.

These temples not only occupy a large number of young laborers, but also take advantage of the troubled times to encroach on a large amount of land, coupled with the fact that Buddhism regards itself as a monk and has never paid taxes, which makes many ordinary people choose to hang their land under these temples, which invisibly encroaches on a large number of national taxes, and at the same time reduces the working population and the number of people who have served in the military.

This kind of parasite-like existence made Yang Wu and others grit their teeth a long time ago, and planned to carry out a large-scale cleanup of the Buddhist gate a long time ago.

Of course, Yang Wu also knew that it was not so easy to clean up the Buddhist gate, and he had to be fully prepared before he could start, otherwise it might cause turmoil.

So he has been forbearant all these years, and at the same time let Fan Yu investigate in secret, and the news he got was even more shocking.

"It was ascertained that there were about 36,000 temples in the territory of Wu, of which about 2,000 were larger, and only 1,301 temples were ordered by the imperial court; There are about 100,000 monks in many temples, and only one-tenth of them are registered......"

The results obtained from Fan Yu really shocked Yang Wu and others after seeing it, that is, Chen Yanqian and other people who originally advocated that they should act cautiously also quickly changed their attitudes.

100,000 monks, most of them are young monks, that is, equivalent to 100,000 young laborers, plus the large amount of wealth and land they occupy, how can Yang Wu and the others tolerate it anymore?

This time, Hongzhou, Jiangxi Province, reported that the government had recently tracked down a group of bandits, and unexpectedly found that those bandits were actually related to a famous temple "Cichan Temple" outside Hongzhou.

This Cichan Temple was not established for a long time, it developed rapidly in the Zhongchuan era, there are more than 300 monks in the temple, which is also one of the largest temples in Hongzhou.

The presiding officer of Cichan Temple, "Master Yunyin", often discussed Buddhism with Zhong Chuan, and had a great reputation in Jiangxi, and was widely followed in the hearts of ordinary people; The other monks in the temple also have a very good reputation among the people.

Therefore, after the Hongzhou government found out that those bandits were related to Cichan Temple, they did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately spread the news to Li Yu, the governor of Jiangxi.

After all, Li Yu is a person who has been a general and fought in a war, and his courage is naturally not comparable to those officials below.

After learning the news, Li Yu personally inquired into the matter, and finally determined that the relationship between those bandits and Cichan Temple was not false.

After confirming the news, Li Yu quickly sent someone to summon Master Na Yunyin, and at the same time sent thousands of officers and soldiers to surround the temple and ask to search it.

Who knows that this search will make a big fuss, that Cichan Temple in the Zhong Chuan era but received all kinds of courtesy, that is, now that Wu has captured Jiangxi, they also have a high attitude towards the Wu government, relying on the support of the people, not taking the government in their eyes.

Now surrounded by thousands of Xiang troops, the old monks in the temple did not open the temple to let the Xiang army search, but let those monks hold strong bows and crossbows, and climbed the courtyard wall to block the entry of the Xiang army.

The commanders of the Xiang army originally thought that the people of Cichan Temple were just putting on a show, so they immediately ignored them and prepared to forcibly enter the temple; Unexpectedly, those armed monks really dared to shoot arrows, and in the end, three soldiers of the Xiang Army were killed, and more than ten others were injured.

What is the monk of Cichan Temple doing? Do you want to rebel? Even the officers and soldiers dared to shoot and kill, and if they were not severely punished, wouldn't they be going to ascend to the sky?

After a brief discussion between Li Yu and Liu Xin, who was stationed in Tunjiangxi, they unanimously decided to use a large army to break through Cichan Temple.

Wu Jun has been fighting in the east and west all these years, how rich is the actual combat experience? Those monks of Cichan Temple just relied on the sudden attack, which took advantage of a little advantage; But when the Wu officers and soldiers became serious, even if the Xiang army was not an elite army, it could be regarded as an invincible army for these monks who protected the temple.

In just half an hour, Cichan Monastery was breached, and more than thirty monks armed with strong bows were killed, and the rest were taken prisoner.

If these monks dared to confront the government, this in itself is shocking, but what is even more shocking is that after attacking the temple, the officers and soldiers actually excavated a large number of corpses in the mountain behind the temple, and the number of them was as high as hundreds.

Some of these bodies had been dead for years, leaving only a single skeleton, but some had only recently died, and none of them had completely decomposed.

After identification, these bodies that had just died turned out to be the people who disappeared nearby some time ago!

In the backyard of the temple, the officers and soldiers also found a large amount of property, and after identification, many of them were looted from those corpses.

Kill people and sell more!

This temple, which is supposed to accumulate good deeds and virtues, has a high reputation among the people, but secretly does the act of killing people and stealing goods!

In addition, the temple even found nearly a thousand pairs of armor, hundreds of fine bows and crossbows, and a larger number of swords, and privately stockpiled so many armors prohibited by the imperial court's order, is this an intention to rebel?

When the news reached Li Yu, he was immediately taken aback.

Such a temple is just outside Hongzhou City, if they have the heart, wouldn't it be possible to start a riot at any time?

What makes people even more shocking is that after these deeds done in Cichan Temple were exposed, those ignorant people did not believe in the government at all, but believed in Master Yunyin, who had a high reputation in their eyes, and believed that Cichan Temple was wronged; Even many people also targeted Li Yu, the governor of Jiangxi, thinking that he was greedy for wealth and merit, so he deliberately planted the blame!

With such a result, how can Li Yu not be shocked?

The people are ignorant and ignorant, and this is understandable to all; But to such a point of ignorance is that it is frightening.

A massive clean-up of the Buddhist gates!

This point, after the case of Cichan Temple was reported, immediately became the most important thing in the entire Wu State court.
