"All the princes are the pillars of the court, what do you think should be done?" Chai Rong's voice was not high, but anyone could hear the murderous aura in it, and His Majesty the Emperor couldn't bear it anymore.

Just now, there was a strange news, and the three people used their burning fingers to try to force the imperial court to bow their heads and let go of the people of the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Ye Hua's approach was very surprising, he ordered three barrels of vegetable oil to be brought and poured directly on the three people. Will you not be able to give up a finger? What is this, to be able to give up a life, is true piety!

Ye Hua's actions were simply crazy, and everyone was frightened.

Master Hou, you are adding fuel to the fire of the standard, do you want everyone to turn around?

Tang Niu was so frightened that he pulled out his knife and protected him behind Ye Hua, ready to flee at any time, and the others were also on standby, but it was Ye Hua, who looked calm, staring at the three people.

One of the men and a woman saw the oil splashed over, and they were so frightened that they quickly got up and fled, but they still took the oil, and the fire was ignited, and they ran in despair, covered in fire, and the pain was unbearable, and they rushed into the crowd, and the crowd fled in a hurry.

During the run, someone fell, someone was burned by the fire and became a mess. In the end, the two people were burned to black coals and died on the spot, dozens of injured people, and the wails were continuous, as if they were going to hell.

The most surprising thing was the woman, who let the oil pour her head, and actually had a smile on her face, and shouted frantically: "Lotus blossoms, nirvana is reborn!" I'm done! That's it! ”

The woman sat upright on the ground and was burned alive.

Ye Hua's face was ugly, he didn't want to kill people, but at this juncture, if he didn't suppress people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The crowd of onlookers was scared away, but they would return at any time, and even cause even more chaos, and they had to do a thunderbolt!

Ye Hua gave the hussar guard a death order, when necessary, he could use force, even if he killed a river of blood, he was not allowed to bow his head!

This battle is more terrifying than any before, and the imperial court cannot take half a step back!

After the explanation, Ye Hua quickly returned to the palace, and Chai Rong immediately convened the princes of the political hall to discuss countermeasures.

His Majesty the Emperor, after asking questions, suddenly pointed to a guard and asked someone to bring a piece of oilcloth to wrap his arm, and someone else to bring a torch.

"I want you to set your arm on fire."

The guard was stunned for a moment, shook his hands, and picked up the torch.

"Hurry up!"

The guard did not dare to refute, but his sideburns were covered with cold sweat, and he trembled, and he was little closer to his arm, preferably only three inches, and he suddenly threw the torch on the ground, and fell to the ground crying.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Spare the ministers! ”

Chai Rong sighed, "What are you guilty of?" Get up! ”

As soon as he turned around, Chai Rong returned to the dragon chair, "Lords, you have also seen it, I still can't let my guards burn an arm, as a minister, are you willing to burn your fingers?" ”

Several ministers knew that it was a joke, but their faces were still flushed, and they swallowed and foamed.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others are saints with a life, so they are naturally loyal and have no ambitions. It's just, it's just ......" Fan Zhen couldn't go on.

As long as the brain is normal, he will not use self-harm to prove loyalty.

But at present, there are some people in the teachings who destroy their bodies by sacrificing their bodies, burning their arms, refining their fingers, nailing their hands and feet, wearing bells, hanging lamps, etc., teasing props, forbidding the left way, vainly claiming to realize the barbaric and ignorant acts of the Nagisa species, as well as absurd farces such as soul rejuvenation, holy water and holy lamps, and demonic illusions.

For example, the old monk, once broke his arm to offer to the Buddha, this move was also seen in the Tang Dynasty, in order to meet the Buddha's bone relics, it made all over the place, and the scene was appalling. There are also people who pierce their fingers and write scriptures in blood, all kinds of methods, which are absurd. Tang Wuzong chose to destroy the Buddha, but he was also forced to do so.

After the killing, in the Great Zhou, these old customs were revived again.

Chai Rong has no way out, he must let the people of the world understand who is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou!

Prime Minister Fan Qian, the first to stand up.

His face was gloomy, colder than cold iron.

"Your Majesty, the ministers didn't know much about the monks and nuns in the temple in the past, and they missed state affairs, so the ministers asked for the guilt first!"

After saying that, he took the lead and fell to his knees!

Several other ministers followed, they were indeed guilty, the imperial court implemented the Juntian order, only a few years later, there were people who donated a large number of fields to the name of the temple, as the prime minister, of course, there was negligence......

"Your sins later, but first tell us about the current matter, what will you do?"

Fan Zhi said: "The old minister thinks that he should immediately mobilize troops and horses, impose a curfew, and strictly prevent people from gathering to do wrong. Also, this case must be investigated as soon as possible, and the old minister is willing to ask for a decree and personally preside over the trial! ”

"Oh? Fan Xianggong is willing to interrogate the case? Chai Rong was a little stunned.

"Your Majesty, the old minister presided over the revision of the criminal law, and such a thing happened in the Great Zhou, if the old minister can't be punished according to law, he is really a saint's grace, and he is willing to take off the black gauze hat and hand over this head to His Majesty!"

"Hmm!" Chai Rong let out a heavy sigh.

"Fan Xianggong, you are willing to take on a heavy responsibility, I am very relieved, I hope you can handle it fairly."

"The old minister obeys!"

……

As soon as Fan Zhen finished speaking, Li Gu also stood up, "Your Majesty, the third division believes that a decree should be issued immediately to abolish the temple's right to exempt from taxation, and at the same time clear the acres of land and return the land they annexed to the people. The minister thought that when the people saw the land, they would be able to feel at ease and would not cause a big mess. ”

Chai Rong nodded, "This is very true, but what about those who send their fields under the temple in order to avoid paying taxes?" ”

"Kill!"

Li Gu's expression was hideous, and this one was also ruthless, "Your Majesty, since they are unwilling to pay taxes to Da Zhou, they are not worthy of being Da Zhou's people, the main culprit will be killed, and the family members will be reduced to slaves, and they will never be forgiven!" ”

"Good!"

Chai Rong felt a little comforted, and looked at it again, "If there are any other suggestions, say them together." ”

This time it was Wei Renpu's turn, "Your Majesty, according to the old minister, instead of waiting for the people to make trouble, it is better to take the initiative." Check the register, all those who often burn incense and make offerings to the Buddha will be checked, persuaded, and those who are obsessed will be sent to the frontier and sent to the prison camp as coolies. As for those who do not repent and oppose the imperial court, they will be killed immediately! This matter is going to trouble the champion Hou! ”

This old thing, he didn't forget to find a job for Ye Hua.

"Please rest assured that Wei Xianggong, the embroidered messenger will not care about killing!"

The entire Great Zhou Dynasty showed unprecedented unity, and even Wang Pu put forward advice.

"Your Majesty, among the monks and nuns, there are also three, six, nine and so on, for those ordinary monks and nuns, they should be ordered to return to the laity, give them land, and let them support themselves with labor."

Wang Pu thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is to rectify the chaos in the temple and eliminate the scum of Shamen, not to exterminate the Taoist system. Therefore, the old minister proposed that in the future, there should be strict rules for monks and nuns: from now on, anyone who wants to become a monk must first obtain the support of his parents and grandparents; If it is an only child, it must also be allowed by the uncle, uncle or brother who lives together. The same man must be at least fifteen years of age and be able to memorize 100 pages of scripture or read 500 pages of scripture by heart. A woman must be at least thirteen years old and be able to memorize 70 pages of scripture or read 300 pages of scripture by heart. After passing the test by the relevant officials, those who are allowed to shave. Moreover, it can only be set up in five places, including Liangjing, Daimyofu, Jingzhaofu, and Qingzhou, and it must be tested by the imperial court and prefecture officials. ”

Even so, men and women who wish to become monks are not allowed to leave the house if their parents or grandparents are alive and there are no other children to support them. As for those who have been criminally punished for committing crimes, or those who have abandoned their parents, fugitive slaves and maids, rebels, and outlaws, they are not allowed to leave their homes. If there is a person who violates the edict and takes the ordination without authorization, the person, the master, the three outlines of the altar, the governor, the monk and the nun will all be punished and severely punished. ”

Wang Pu said a lot of restrictions on ordination, and Chai Rong nodded frequently when he heard it, "One more, the number of monks who can become ordained every year must not exceed twenty!" ”

Ye Hua listened silently and watched beside him.

As a person who witnessed history, Ye Hua was very emotional.

The so-called Chai Rong destroyed the Buddha, in fact, the statement is not accurate, this time it is the rectification of Buddhism, Chai Rong did not ban Buddhism, nor did he destroy the classics, but only regulated the monks.

According to the conditions listed by Wang Pu, if you meet the standards, you will stand out from the examination and become a monk...... The degree of intelligence and talent is no worse than that of ordinary Jinshi.

As we all know, the talented Su Shi likes to get together with the Buddha Seal monk, and he often suffers in the hands of the Buddha Seal...... This can only show that after Chai Rong's rectification, the level of Buddhism has improved too much, and even the world's best talent can't take advantage.

Working together, the work efficiency is simply off the charts.

Several ministers are much more proficient than Ye Hua in terms of their ability to deal with the affairs of the government.

They took everything over, and Ye Hua had nothing to do, but Chai Rong didn't want to let Ye Hua go, "Ye Qing, you accompany me to Daxiangguo Temple." ”

"Yes."

Junchen came to the empty Daxiong Treasure Hall, Chai Rong turned around, and suddenly came to the front of the Buddha statue.

What a big Buddha!

One foot and two feet high, made of copper, and brushed with a thick layer of gold dust on the outside, solemn and solemn, people can't help but bow and worship...... Chai Rong looked in his eyes, but he was confused for a while, and asked with red eyes, "How much is this?" ”
