Tang Xiong has never been a person who is good at finding out news, and the reason why he let Tang Xiong go this morning is because Su Wuming has too few people to use, at least before he has made a move to those monasteries, he can only use Jiang Ying, Lin Yun and Tang Xiong.

The night of Zhongchun was quiet, and there was a faint haze, an hour after Jiang Ying and Lin Yun left, Tang Xiong came back, and when he came back, he saw that the light was still on in the living room, and his face suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment, so he hurriedly ran over: "Brother Su, you haven't slept yet?" ”

In fact, Su Wuming was already asleep in the living room, and when Tang Xiong shouted like this, he woke up immediately, rubbed his eyes, and saw that it was Tang Xiong, so he hurriedly asked Tang Xiong to sit down and said, "Why did you come back, hurry up and tell me the news you have found." ”

Tang Xiong nodded: "Brother Su, what I investigated is those Taoist temples, there are about thirty Taoist temples in Chang'an City, the scale of these Taoist temples is no worse than some monasteries, although they have no land in their hands, but there are a lot of other properties, and besides, the emperors of recent generations like to eat elixir, so there are several Taoist temples that have an extraordinary relationship with the royal family." ”

The power of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty has always been not weak, many royal families and princesses often go to Taoism as Taoist priests or Taoist aunts, the relationship between Taoism and the royal family has always been very good, Tang Xiong probed these, but also confirmed what Su Wuming thought before, and according to Su Wuming's knowledge, after Buddhism was suppressed, I was afraid that Taoism would rise again.

After bowing slightly, Su Wuming asked again: "Among these Taoist temples, which one is the largest Taoist temple?" ”

"It's Qingfeng Temple, this Taoist temple has been providing pills to the palace since the emperor likes alchemy, so the power development is very huge, the Taoist of this Qingfeng Temple is called Qingfeng Taoist, it is said that the art of alchemy has been perfected, and his pills make people feel refreshed and double their physical strength after eating."

All pills are harmful to health, Su Wuming saw Tang Xiong praising those pills like this, his brows condensed slightly, and then said: "Those pills are just some effects for the time being, they are all at the cost of overdrawing the body, in the future, don't say that again, okay, you go back and rest!" ”

After saying this, Su Wuming also got up and went back to the room to rest, so that there was nothing to say all night, and the next day, everyone continued to inquire so that they could know more clues.

And when Su Wuming continued to investigate these news, there was chaos in the early dynasty, there were those who supported the attack on the temples, and there were those who opposed it, so there were many discussions, and in the end they were escorted down by the emperor, and before Su Wuming did not launch a fatal blow to those temples, the situation in the entire court may last for several days.

It's just that after retiring from the court on this day, Emperor Li Yan suddenly felt that things were very strange, and the matter of their desire to demolish the temple had just been agreed for a few days, and there were only a few people who knew about it, but why after that night, almost everyone knew that they were going to demolish the temple, so that before they could start to do it, they were attacked by those opponents.

Li Yan's expression was slightly condensed, and after a long time, he sent someone to call Li Deyu, and Li Deyu also thought of the strangeness of this thing on the way into the palace, and when he thought of the strangeness of these things, he had two suspicious candidates, one was Su Wuming, and the other was Lu Yan.

After entering the palace, the two monarchs and ministers coincided, so they discussed who might be the one who revealed the news, at this time, Li Deyu surprisingly stood on Su Wuming's side, he thought that Su Wuming was unlikely to be the one who revealed the news, because after the news was revealed, the difficulties and troubles he faced were the greatest, as long as the emperor did not revoke his task, he had to do it hard.

Since it is impossible for Su Wuming to reveal the news, the only person who is likely to reveal the news is Lu Yan.

At the beginning, Li Yan was a little unconvinced that Lu Yan revealed the news, because in the past two days, Lu Yan did not act like he was opposed to attacking the temple, and he did not say anything about this matter at all.

And after Li Yan said these thoughts, Li Deyu hurriedly said: "Shengshang, it is precisely because Lu Yan did not express his position that this is suspicious, he wants to sit and watch the mountain tiger fight, and finally the fisherman will benefit!" ”

Li Yan's brows condensed slightly, and then he snorted coldly: "I don't see it, this Lu Yan is a very scheming person, hmph, but what he thinks is too beautiful, Li Aiqing, find a chance to let that Lu Yan out!" ”

Li Deyu received orders again and again, and then the two of them discussed again, and finally left.

And when Li Deyu and Li Yan were discussing these in the palace, Su Mansion suddenly had a visit, since learning that Su Wuming was ordered to crack down on Buddhism and demolish the temple, Su Wuming had guests in this mansion from time to time, but many times, Su Wuming refused to see guests.

It's just that this time the guest is a little special, he is a eunuch, and he came to see Su Wuming on behalf of his master, so Su Wuming had to see him.

After the man entered the living room, his expression was very arrogant, he just spoke with one mouth, and a male duck voice set off this arrogance a little funny, Su Wuming couldn't help but smile, looked at him and asked, "I don't know why Your Excellency came to see this official?" ”

"Lord Su should be a smart person, when you see me, you will naturally know who my master is, to tell the truth, my master wants to see you, Lord Su can appreciate his face?"

At this time, the eunuch was not easy to offend, Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Lead the way ahead!" ”

Seeing that Su Wuming was going to contact the eunuch, Nangong Yan was a little worried and shouted that she was going too, but in the end Su Wuming refused.

But said that after Su Wuming went out, there was already a carriage waiting outside, the eunuch made a gesture of please, and after Su Wuming got into the carriage, the eunuch immediately drove away, and after the carriage bypassed a few streets on the road, it finally came to a slightly quieter street than other places.

After Su Wuming got off the carriage, he immediately understood what kind of place this was, Neishou Street, where the eunuchs lived, on this street, all the eunuchs who lived were eunuchs, and these eunuchs brushed down from the palace, there were eunuchs who entered the palace after castration and were not selected, of course, there were also powerful eunuchs in the court at this time, this place is usually demonic, and others dare not come in at all, because the eunuchs are missing something, so when they see some complete people, they are angry.

When Su Wuming got off the carriage, he quickly felt the strange eyes of the others, and just when Su Wuming was surprised, the eunuch had already led Su Wuming into a mansion, Su Wuming looked up and saw that it said Qiu Mansion.

This is the mansion of Qiu Shiliang, who was in charge of the Praetorian Guard and was named the Duke of Chu, Su Wuming's heart sank slightly, thinking that this time he came here, he was afraid that it would be more than lucky.

Qiu Shiliang has a huge power in the court, and he also controls the forbidden army, and the current emperor only ascended the throne with his support, so his mansion is naturally not comparable to others, Su Wuming followed the eunuch and walked for a full half incense stick, and then came to the Qiufu living room, and waited in the living room for about half a pillar of incense, then Qiu Shiliang came slowly.

In fact, it's not that Qiu Shiliang doesn't respect Su Wuming, but he can really only walk slowly, he looks very old, he is old, and there is a hint of shrewdness and strength in his eyes.

After he came to the living room, he first looked at Su Wuming, and then said with a smile: "Master Su, do you know what the Duke of China meant by calling you?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Naturally I know." ”

"And what do you think?"

"The emperor's order is hard to disobey!"

Qiu Shiliang frowned slightly, and then smiled indifferently: "So, as long as the emperor changes his mind, you will stop?" ”

"All this is just the emperor's meaning, and the lower officials are not interested in any beliefs in anyone."

In fact, Su Wuming also hates those sanctimonious monks, but now in front of Qiu Shiliang, he can't say that it is a good thing for a person to be upright, but sometimes, he also has to understand and be flexible.

After hearing Su Wuming's words, Qiu Shiliang nodded with satisfaction: "You can go!" ”

Su Wuming did not hesitate, let alone show any other expression, and after bowing his hand slightly, he left the same way.

After Su Wuming left, a eunuch asked Qiu Shiliang, "Ancestor, let him go like this?" ”

Qiu Shiliang smiled: "He is a smart man and knows what he should do." ”

But said that after Su Wuming left from the inner street, there were still palpitations all over his body, and the eyes of those eunuchs looking at him were really terrifying, after he left in such a hurry, it was almost noon, and at this time, a person suddenly called out to him, Su Wuming turned his head and saw that it was Xu Maocai, who Xu Maocai came over with a smile on his face, and said: "Master Su, the things you explained have been done." ”

Su Wuming was overjoyed, so he hurriedly waited for him to return to the mansion, and it was not until he returned to the mansion that Xu Mao did not speak.

"Several large temples in Chang'an City are almost in contact with people in the court, among which Huguo Temple has many contacts with members of the royal family, and those royal family members can be said to have great respect for Huguo Temple, usually but if there is any major matter that needs to be decided, they will go to Huguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha; The Qingguang Temple is the closest to the eunuchs in the court, and the Pudu Temple is the closest to the relatives, and they take what they need from each other, and it is okay to describe it as an embarrassment. ”

Su Wuming nodded slightly and said, "Other than that, is there any other news?" ”

"Yes, outside of the big temples such as Huguo Temple, there is a relatively large temple that has nothing to do with the people in the court, he is Wuxiang Temple, and although this Wuxiang Temple does not collude with the officials of the DPRK and China, it can produce a lot of fields."

Regarding this news, Su Wuming nodded slightly to show understanding, and then asked, "Then among these temples, which temple has done dirty and dirty things?" ”
