March of the 14th year of Taihe

A new round of examinations was held as scheduled, and this time the gate lords from all over the Zhou Kingdom came, with more than 5,000 people. The extravagance in Chang'an City www.biquge.info was unprecedented.

So many people must not be able to take the exam in the imperial palace hall, and after agreeing with the ministers, a few vacant spaces were opened in Taichang's office mansion as an examination venue.

Wen Yong gave full authority to the already experienced Lan Yi to handle the exam, but the invigilator Wen Yong personally designated Wen Lan and Xu Chengzong, and the guards in the examination room were replaced by the Imperial Forest Supervisors.

This time, the questions were also changed with new tricks, Wen Yong ordered each of the officials in the court to give a question, and then finalized and sealed it himself, until before the exam, the sergeant of the Imperial Forest Supervisor sent it to the examination room, and the scribe board was written on the wooden board for the candidates to see.

The examination is a new thing that is being carried out in an orderly manner, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and there is a result of the admission of the list.

Those who are in the middle are happy, and those who fall are depressed. It is no different from the afterlife.

With a large number of new recruits hired, in order to limit the local military power, Wen Yong finally began the measures of separating the military from the government, and issued an edict to set up a staff office in each prefecture, which set up six Cao in charge of military registration, grain and grass requisition, war merit records and other civilian-related matters, and directly deprived the generals of various places of financial power.

Of course, the officials of the General Staff Office are still transferred in parallel from the officials who have been in charge of the local government for a long time, after all, only with experience will there be no chaos, and the newly promoted officials are mainly to fill the vacancies after the transfer.

Before the new official left to take up his post, Wen Yong summoned him and issued a special order to investigate the geometry of the temples in various places, the number of Buddha productions, and whether there were evil deeds, and submit them back to the imperial court in a twisted way.

Not long after the peaceful days, Fu'an entered the imperial study and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhu Xi, the county guard of Fuling County, left his post without permission, came to Chang'an to carry the coffin outside the palace gate, and made a lot of nonsense!" ”

Wen Yong frowned when he heard this, and asked, "What did he say?" ”

He said......"

Fu'an looked at Wen Yong's face cautiously, "He said that Your Majesty is a faint monarch, who believes in gods and Buddhas, and doesn't care about the people." ”

Wen Yong didn't get angry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's quite appropriate, let's go!" Let's see. ”

After Wen Yong left, the four people in charge of staying in the imperial study to sort out government affairs gathered together and chatted. They were all promoted in the first examination, and they were colleagues, so they were relatively close to each other.

Wen Cheng was puzzled: "You say that Your Majesty is quite tolerant of Buddhism, and reports from all over the country are constantly suppressed, but why do you send people to investigate these things?" ”

Xue Min said cautiously: "Your Majesty's mind is unpredictable, so let's not ask." ”

Wen Cheng is a clan, and he is not so taboo about discussing these things, so he asked Yang Shaoping instead: "Brother Yang, why do you say this?" ”

Yang Shaoping smiled and said nothing.

Looking at Li Qingyuan, he also looked unfathomable.

"I don't think you know!"

Wen Cheng couldn't think clearly, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching, so he had the courage to ask Wang Gui: "Wang Qing may solve the confusion for the younger brother." ”

Wang Gui put down the pen in his hand, did not refuse, and said: "Once upon a time, there was a huge tree full of peaches, and the monkeys wanted to eat it, but there was a lion sleeping underneath. At first, the monkeys were afraid to approach, until one day a monkey walked safely past the lion and climbed up the tree to eat his fill. The other monkeys were so apprehensive that they followed. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Gui's tone was paused, and he stopped speaking, looking at everyone with a lot of scrutiny.

"Wang Qing, say it quickly!"

"yes, go on."

Xue Min was also interested and urged with Wen Cheng.

Li Qingyuan interjected with a smug face: "Of course, when they slid down the tree after they were full, they found that the lion was staring hungrily at these monkeys who were fat and fat, and could no longer climb the tree!" ”

Wen Cheng came to his senses and said, "You mean that the Buddha Gate is that group of monkeys!" ”

Yang Shaoping interrupted him: "It's just a story, keep doing things." ”

Wang Gui glanced at Yang Shaoping, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

……

"Your Majesty listens to the demon monks and indulges the Buddhism to embezzle the people's land, how difficult it is for the people of my Great Zhou!"

Zhu Xi cried loudly in front of the onlookers, denouncing Wen Yong's faintness.

Wen Yong walked out of the palace gate with the guards and stood in front of Zhu Xi face to face.

Zhu Xi was bound to die, so he was no longer obsessed with etiquette, and pointed at Wen Yong's nose and scolded: "The hard work of the two generations of the Great Zhou Dynasty is all abolished because of your favor to the monks!" ”

Fu'an scolded: "Bold! ”

Wen Yong stopped Fu An, "Let him say. ”

Zhu Xi said in a loud voice: "Zhu Xi came here today to carry the coffin, just to spit out his loyalty, not afraid of life and death!" Under the protection of this faint king, the evil monk hid filth and dirt, took the people's land and property, built temples extensively, and forced the wives of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty to disperse. Seize the wealth of the Great Zhou Dynasty and cast a bronze statue of a golden man, like a maggot that eats away at the foundation of the Great Zhou, and it is ridiculous that the faint monarch never realizes it. Such evil deeds are notorious, named Buddhist temple, but it is actually an enemy country in the country! ”

Regarding Zhu Xi's insults and the pointing and pointing of the people around him, Wen Yong smiled indifferently and ordered: "Put him in prison." ”

"Faint King!"

"Faint King!"

……

Zhu Xi's scolding faded away, Wen Yong turned around and wanted to return, and at this moment, a beautiful shadow broke through the guards' obstruction and quickly rushed towards Wen Yong.

"There are assassins!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Wen Yong pushed away the guards who were protecting him, and stepped forward to face the rushing edge.

The cold light pressed against his throat, Wen Yong stopped the soldier who wanted to come forward, and said with a smile: "Have you thought about coming to take my life?" ”

Dugu Wanyan's voice pretended to be cold: "Do you know that such a connivance with monks has made bullies and ruffians everywhere pretend to be Buddhist subordinates to harm the people, and the people of Da Zhou are already quite resentful of you!" ”

Wen Yong looked into her eyes quietly and asked, "Are you concerned about me?" ”

Dugu Wanyan pointed at her eyes angrily, and said excitedly: "I am concerned about the Great Zhou Foundation that my father maintained with his life!" ”

"Oh, I don't care about me."

Wen Yong looked suddenly enlightened, and still looked at her lightly.

Seeing Wen Yong behaving like this, Dugu Wanyan gritted her teeth with hatred: "Faint Jun! ”

Wen Yong didn't answer, still staring at her directly.

Dugu Wanyan threatened: "Don't let Master Zhu go, punish the evil monks!" Don't you want to die? ”

Wen Yong glanced at her sword-wielding hand, the corners of her mouth rose, and she suddenly took a step forward, Dugu Wanyan was startled and immediately withdrew her sword, and scolded angrily: "You don't want to die!" ”

Wen Yong laughed and said, "You don't care about me, why do you care if you want this life." But it looks like you don't want my life anymore, so I'll go first. ”

"Wen Yong! You faint man! ”

Dugu Wanyan was angry and blamed, but seeing that he looked like he was accepting it and suddenly moved in his heart, shouldn't the Buddha be his bad intentions?
