Li Shimin was weak in his heart for the matter of Tiangu swallowing the sun, always thinking that he had killed his brother and sister-in-law, and the usurpation of his father had angered the heavens.

According to the proverbs, everyone deduced that there was only one temple of good fortune nearby, which was more in line with what was said. Li Shimin immediately instructed Wan Nian and Chang'an County to jointly send people to secretly investigate, resist arrest, and confiscate the demons of Shanyuan Temple.

How dare these two be lazy, after receiving the order, they were about to arrange manpower, and someone sent them over with the information that Li Chengqian had prepared a long time ago. The two county magistrates looked at the records on the intelligence as if they were there.

At this time, even a fool understands what the imperial court means, not to mention, the Wannian County Order also directly took over the report of the disappearance of the Tianyou family's woman Jinxiang. How to deal with it is naturally a familiar road, not a problem.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the news did not leak for half a minute, and all the criminals were quickly arrested, and dozens of women victims were rescued at the moment. And all the evidence of the evil crimes was seized. After interrogation, a huge underground criminal gang was dug up.

The temple including gold and silver treasures, temple properties and manors were all confiscated. At the same time, "Tiantang Daily" and "Tiantang Weekly" began to continuously publish the evil deeds of monks and lay disciples of Shanyuan Temple.

In those restaurants and tea shops, storytellers also began to tell how fake monks took advantage of the worship of the Buddha to kidnap women, gather people for fornication, and trafficked people. and colluded with lay disciples to bully men and women, abducted and deceived people, defrauded money, seized people's land and property, and disregarded human life. All of a sudden, the common people gritted their teeth with hatred for the monks and lay disciples of the temple. How do ordinary people know if you are a real monk or a fake monk?

At the same time, the two major newspapers carried out a series of reports on such things as the monks of the monasteries not engaged in production, did not engage in farming, occupied land to collect rent, set up usury to trap people, lent out their families to practice, evaded punishment, and continued to do evil. Under Li Chengqian's covert operation and propaganda, all of a sudden, the whole country was shaken, and many people cursed one after another.

The entire Chang'an city inside and outside, even in the eastern capital Luoyang, the northern capital Jinyang, Yangzhou, Yizhou all spread. The reputation of Buddhism was immediately reversed, and the number of followers decreased dramatically. The temple was transformed from a place of pure recitation and Buddha practice to an existence that hid filth and dirt, and was even compared to bandits, occupying mountains everywhere as kings, not paying taxes, like a country within a country, exploiting the people everywhere.

At the same time, the sufferers and victimized people in various places continued to report to the government, and a large number of fake monks and lay disciples who committed adultery and criminals were arrested one after another, and the newspapers reported one after another, and the matter became more and more serious.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, public opinion spreads very fast, things come violently and suddenly, Buddhism immediately can't resist, and immediately take measures to rectify the interior, immediately return some illegally occupied land, and begin to clean up some lawbreakers and murderers who have entered Buddhism to avoid trouble.

As a result, not long after the rectification began, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng arranged Taoist manpower to take advantage of the wind to spread the ground, and rumors spread everywhere. Doesn't Buddhism regard money as something outside the body? Why are there so many gold and silver treasures, so many land, land and houses? Doesn't Buddhism preach the salvation of sentient beings? Doesn't it mean to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot? Why don't you just temper them? Why do you want to go back on your word and drive these people out now! You Buddhists are hypocrites who deceive people!

Even these people who were kicked out of the temple were provoked by everyone, and they were also indignant, and then began to curse and propagandize, saying that Buddhism is not a pure place at all, how dark the interior is, it is simply a place to eat people without spitting out bones! Some radicals even went to the government to report to expose the sins of their temples.

This means of counterattacking the ghosts in the hall made the Buddhism anxious, and many Buddhist monks stretched their faces, reciting the Buddhist scriptures, for a while, where to think of any way! I can't wait to catch and tear up the few guys who spread rumors and ungrateful reports that were driven out of Buddhism.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was sitting in front of him, and bowed slightly: "Gao Ming, at your young age, it is really good to think of this hand!" First, it can borrow the hand of the Daomen; Second, grasp the evidence of Buddhism's hidden dirt in advance; Third, newspaper propaganda was used. Grandpa was very pleased. But what happened to the celestial change? ”

Li Chengqian said in his heart, seeing that you are so weak-hearted, you must have done something wrong. Now pretending to be a good person, but asking me? But he couldn't say that, so he had to get up and hurriedly explain: "Actually, Yuan Tiangang Tianshi is already proficient in the astronomical calendar, and these are all based on his observations and calculations, using the information he had some time ago, to set up a bureau, and start with this.

As for celestial phenomena and the like, they are the rules of the operation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and they have nothing to do with good fortune and evil, so Grandpa doesn't need to be nervous, worried and worried about this. Even if there is an omen, according to the calculations of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, it is also a good omen. Otherwise, they are also wise people who protect themselves, and they will not stand out regardless of the danger.

In addition, since the child participated in the court meeting and observed the statements and practices of Grandpa and Zhugong, he has learned a lot of methods and experience, so he can cooperate with Grandpa to deal with this matter. This is actually Grandpa's teaching, Grandpa's wisdom and martial arts, and his strategizing, but it is not as good as what happens. Besides, Buddhism itself is not disciplined and gives others a handle. Now taking advantage of this opportunity, it is a favorable time for the imperial court to recover the land and land. ”

"Gao Ming, when will you also learn to flatter Grandpa!" Li Shimin listened to this explanation, laughed heartily, and thought about it, the two heavenly masters were not afraid, which means that it is a good thing, what are you afraid of? Immediately relieved his heart, and said angrily: "You said a few days ago that you wanted Grandpa to make a law for the management of religious affairs, this idea is very good, and I will let the princes formulate it immediately." ”

"Grandpa is wise, it's wrong, in fact, a hero like Grandpa doesn't need to be flattered by others at all." Li Chengqian scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Gao Ming has a heart, that's right. But this is just the beginning, it depends on how the Buddha chooses. Li Shimin was relieved.

In fact, Li Shimin knows very well that Buddhism played a big role in the Tang Dynasty when it pacified the world. But Li Shimin also understands that now that the country has just been established, the population has dropped a lot due to the impact of war. Buddhism has taken in a large number of laborers who are not engaged in production, and these people practice martial arts in addition to chanting sutras and worshipping the Buddha. How can it not be worrying? What will happen to these people when they have a different heart in the future?

Now that the sky has changed, no matter what the solar eclipse represents, it actually doesn't matter in his heart, his heart is empty, if he is really afraid of this, he will not compete for the throne with Li Jiancheng. Even if someone says irresponsible things, he is not afraid. He wants to show the world, and he is more suitable to be the emperor than Li Jiancheng.
