Yang Shuang didn't mention Yang Guang to the new emperor until he was dying, obviously worried that Yang Guang would be executed in the future, for Yang Shuang, whether it was Yang Yong or Yang Guang and others, they were his sons and nephews, and they never wanted them to kill each other, but the throne was too sensitive, and even Yang Shuang could only ask the new emperor to spare him from death.

"Uncle Huang, I promise you that as long as Amour can keep his discipline, I will never harm him, and even in a few years, I can release him from Beijing again."

"Really?" Yang Shuang looked at Yang Yong with blazing eyes, wanting to see from Yang Yong's expression whether there was any element of fraud, and what reassured Yang Shuang was that Yang Yong's eyes were clear and not like a lie.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry, Amor is my royal brother, and I will give him a chance to mend his ways." Yang Yong said patiently, for Yang Yong, it is Yang Jian's mountain that is pressed on his head, although Yang Guang is smart, but his vision is limited, and he has not experienced any setbacks, he is destined not to be his opponent, in this case, whether it is for his own reputation and feelings, he still has to set an example for the King of Shu and the King of Han, Yang Yong will not kill Yang Guang, and he can naturally agree to Yang Shuang's request calmly.

Yang Shuang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his face was half relaxed: "Thank you to the emperor, the second thing is about Daxing Temple, the minister is also very sad to hear that Daxing Temple is involved in the case of rebellion, but Daxing Temple is a royal temple, Buddhism guides people to be good, and it is beneficial to the country and the people, and I hope that the emperor can open up to Daxing Temple." ”

Although Jihyun left in time with the monks of Daxing Temple that day, direct evidence of Daxing Temple's involvement in the rebellion was avoided. It's just that many of the captives caught in the back point to Daxing Temple as the initiator of this rebellion, not to mention that there are no these. Yang Yong also knows the role of Daxing Temple in it, and the new emperor has a lot of dissatisfaction with Buddhism when he is the crown prince, and many ministers are speculating what kind of punishment the new emperor will take in Daxing Temple, whether to directly destroy the Buddha, or only to investigate the monks of Daxing Temple?

On the night of the blood stained in the capital, Daxing Temple was not affected, Yang Yong just ordered the Praetorian Guards to temporarily encircle Daxing Temple, and then the emperor died, and after a series of things the new emperor ascended the throne, Daxing Temple was still only temporarily taken over by the Praetorian Guard. How to deal with it, but the new emperor has not made a statement.

Unlike the Jin Dynasty's house arrest, where no one dared to ask, many officials pleaded with the emperor to pardon Daxing Temple, and even the empress and two imperial concubines were involved.

Of course, there are many people who plead, and there are many people who advocate severe punishment of Daxing Temple, and in recent years, due to Yang Jian's strong support for Buddhism, Buddhism has developed rapidly. A large number of interests have been embezzled, causing dissatisfaction among many magistrates, and some people have suggested to Yang Yong that they can learn from Emperor Wu of Zhou to destroy the Buddha again.

It's just that whether he advocates pardon or severe punishment, the emperor has always been vague. Let the outside world speculate, the new emperor is silent, the more panicked the monks of Daxing Temple become, now more than half of the 3,000 monks of Daxing Temple have dispersed, and the Buddhist disciples from all over the country have begun to panic, and many monks in the temple have begun to be restless, and have taken the temple property for themselves, and then slipped away. All of a sudden. There has been a significant increase in cases of theft of monasteries.

This effect is actually exactly what Yang Yong needs, religion can only be controlled, it is impossible to ban it, Yang Yong naturally will not do such a rebellious but useless thing like Emperor Wu of Zhou, and now he can take advantage of the opportunity to weaken Buddhism step by step. and then incorporated into the control of the imperial court.

These thoughts went through Yang Yong's mind like lightning. Xiang Yang Shuang replied: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, I won't be too strict with Daxing Temple. However, the state has national law, and the leaders of Daxing Temple who participated in the rebellion must be handed over and severely punished, and as for others, they should be innocent. ”

Although Yang Shuang was not very satisfied with Yang Yong's answer, it was already extremely tolerant that the new emperor could do this, and he was flawless for a while to think about whether there were any flaws in Yang Yong's words, and nodded: "In this way, even if the minister dies immediately, he can rest assured." ”

Yang Yong asked softly, "In addition to these two things, what else does Uncle Huang have to explain to me?" ”

Yang Shuang shook his head, he has never had children, there is no concern behind him, and he has always been relieved in his heart that it is nothing more than whether the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui can be stabilized, and now that Yang Yong has ascended the throne, it should not be a problem to govern the world with the means of a new emperor, and there is no need to worry about anything.

Coming back from the Wei Wangfu, thinking that Yang Shuang was leaving, Yang Yong's heart was as uncomfortable as blocking something, if there was no help from Yang Shuang, even if he had been in obscurity, it would not be possible to sit on the position of the prince so easily, several critical moments, it was Yang Shuang who stood up and spoke for himself, so that he could show his strengths, and finally it was Yang Shuang who supported his illness to easily quell the rebellions of various families, but as an emperor, he still couldn't save a person's life.

That night, Yang Shuang left, and the next day, when he heard the funeral report from the Weiwang Mansion, although Yang Yong had prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel sad, so he could only order Yang Shuang to be buried with a princely ceremony.

After Yang Shuang's funeral, Yang Yong issued an order to ask Daxing Temple to hand over all the monks who participated in the rebellion, that is, to evacuate the Praetorian Guards who supervised the Daxing Temple, the new emperor's will made the monks of Daxing Temple breathe a sigh of relief, dozens of Daxing Temple warrior monks stood up with hellish courage, admitted to participating in the rebellion, and were immediately arrested by the Janissaries, these monks thought that they would definitely die, and the emperor still exiled these warrior monks to the south.

Just when all the disciples of Buddhism thought that this matter was over, the new emperor made another will, which made all the monks have suffering and could not speak, and the holy decree said: "Buddhism is vast, Buddhism is profound, but the disciples are mud and sand, so that the treacherous and slippery people are mixed into the Buddhism, it is necessary to screen the disciples, only those who sincerely enter the Buddhism, can become monks, and return to the quiet place of Buddhism." ”

There is no problem with this will, but the key is how to test whether the disciples of Buddhism are sincere, and the court has added that those who become monks must pass the court assessment, and the content of the assessment is naturally the familiarity with the Buddhist scriptures. Whoever passes, the court will give the ferry. The dish includes the name of the monk's layman's family, the name of the law, the date of the ordination, and those who have not obtained the dish within three years indicate that they are not sincere to the Buddha and must return to the world.

Of the millions of monks in the country, less than one-tenth are literate, that is to say, only one-tenth can read Buddhist scriptures, not to mention those who are familiar with and memorize Buddhist scriptures. Fortunately, the court did not require to be familiar with all the Buddhist scriptures, otherwise I am afraid that no monk would be able to pass, but selected more than a dozen of the most common Buddhist scriptures for assessment, so that even the simplest questions, I am afraid that at least more than ninety percent of the monks could not pass.

Not only that, but the monastery also lost an opportunity to train monks from an early age, except for some geniuses, who can read and recite Buddhist scriptures from an early age. Even if there is such a person, I am afraid that his parents will not let him become a monk.

It's just that in the face of this will, all the Buddhist disciples can't refute it loudly, and this will has even aroused the approval of many monks. How can you call yourself a disciple of Buddhism, and how can you reflect the sincerity of joining Buddhism?

A few years later, sure enough, there were less than ten monks who could really obtain the crossing saucer, and the power of Buddhism suddenly declined. Since then, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have been firmly in the hands of the court, and religion can no longer cause a flood, but the strict requirements of the court are not without benefits to them, and the quality of the monks of Buddhism and Taoism has been greatly improved. From now on. Buddhism and Taoism are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and with the increasing strength of the Great Sui. It began to develop overseas again.

The matter of Daxing Temple was successfully resolved, the situation gradually stabilized, and Dasui slowly moved forward along the established trajectory. Until November of the first year of the Great Cause, a border emergency report broke the peace of the court, and the Eastern Turks united with Goguryeo, under the guidance of the rebel Murong Sanzang of the Great Sui, and invaded the territory of the Great Sui.

With a "bang", Yang Yong slapped his palm on the table and scolded: "It's really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised." ”

Yang Yong scolded the land is no one else, it is at this time the Eastern Turkic Qimin Khan, Qimin Khan is the son of Sha Bolu, Sha Bolu was named the Turki Khan when he died, the seventeenth year of the emperor, the brother of the Tuli Khan, Dulan Khan and the Great Sui broke off relations, and the alliance of the Western Turkic Datou Khan attacked Tuli.

Tuli had no choice but to surrender to the Sui, and was afraid that the Great Sui would not pay attention to him, and was hesitating, Changsun Sheng personally went to Tuli's camp, half of the intimidation, half of the lure to coax Tuli to the capital, Yang Jian named him Qimin Khan, let him settle in Shuozhou, and later due to the invasion of Dulan Khan, Tuli moved to the south of the Yellow River, between Xia and Sheng.

In the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign, Dulan Khan was assassinated by his subordinates. The Western Turkic Datou set himself up as the Bujia Khan, led the army to attack the Great Sui, was defeated by the Sui army, the Datou fled to Tuyuhun, and then disappeared, and the Turki took the opportunity to subdue many of the Bujia Khan's people, and his power increased greatly.

In the first year of Renshou, Yang Jian sent Shi Wansui to assist Tuli to go north, at that time it was the opportunity of the Mobei rebellion, the Sui army and the Qiming Khan combined forces swept thousands of miles, capturing the people and countless cattle and sheep, this campaign, although the main force was the Sui army, however, the spoils of war were finally given to Tuli, after this battle, Tuli really stood firm and became a veritable Eastern Turkic Great Khan.

In the past few years, Tuli has been respectful to the Great Sui, and pays tribute to thousands of cattle and horses on time every year, however, the value of the return gift given to him by the Great Sui is greater, it can be said that this Qiming Khan is completely supported by the Great Sui, without the Great Sui, Qiming's bones have long been gone, but I didn't expect that Emperor Wen had just died, and Tuli and Goguryeo jointly invaded the Great Sui.

In fact, the Turks turned their faces not once or twice, and the Dulan Khan was not supported by the Great Sui, the Great Sui needed the Turks to protect the civil strife, so it was often to help the weak and eliminate the strong, but the strong Turkic Khan always wanted to tear off a piece of meat from the Great Sui, and the Great Sui could only continue to choose a weak force among the Turks to help up, which was equivalent to a dead cycle, but, in general, as long as the Eastern and Western Turks were not unified, the Great Sui could always cope with it, after the collapse of the Great Sui, Although the Turks had a lot of advantages, they could not enter the Central Plains, and the division of the Turks was the main reason.

This time, the Qiming Khan and Goryeo were united, obviously also wanting to see if they could get cheap after the new emperor was replaced in the Central Plains, originally Yang Yong didn't plan to start an army soon after he ascended the throne, but since others hit the door, he had to fight, Yang Yong sneered, my cheap is not so easy to get in, this time I came in, I can't let you come and go.

"Someone is coming, Xuanshangshu is shooting left and right, six Shangshu, and the generals of each guard are coming in."

"The slave obeys." An attendant responded.

Soon after the emperor's will was handed down, after a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and the first to come in was the left and right servants of Shangshu Province, they were still Su Wei and Yuan Yan, Shangshu Zuocheng was Li Gang, Shangshu Right Cheng was Liu Shu, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was replaced by Wei Yi, the Wei family has always been a supporter of the prince's subway pole, Wei Shikang has also served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and now this position has fallen back to the Wei family.

The secretary of the military department became He Ruobi, while the secretary of the Ministry of Industry became Yun Dingxing, and the secretary of the criminal department became Fang Yanqian; Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, and Yang Shangxi, the secretary of the household department, did not change. In addition to the three people who have been killed, He Ruobi was promoted to the secretary of the military department, and Yang Shuang died of illness, the rest of the people have not changed, and the five people who lack land are made up by Yuan Wei, Qu Tutong, Shi Wansui, Zhang Xingzhi, and Daxihong.

It can be said that after the replacement of the old and new emperors, the court maintained the stability of some important ministers, and at the same time, the new emperor put forward a lot of his confidants to the throne and firmly grasped the power, which of course benefited from the vacant seats of those people on the night of the blood beam capital, and Yang Yong made a small part of the adjustment, Liu Shu changed from the military department Shangshu to Shangshu Youcheng is a little embarrassed, purely because Yang Yong thinks that Liu Shu is not qualified for the post of military department Shangshu, and he is paid for his merits, so he replaced Liu Shu, and Xue Daoheng, the secretary of the criminal department, In addition, the two of them were taken down, but it was entirely because the two of them were too close to King Jin.
