Chapter 243: Before the Shot

When I left the palace, it was getting late, and the night in mid-spring was so soft, as if she was a lazy woman.

Su Wuming walked on the empty street, but there was suffering in his heart, he was a person who crossed over, and naturally knew that Tang Wuzong Li Yan attacked Buddhism in the second year of his accession to the throne, and demolished many monasteries, and these monasteries should indeed be demolished, because the things that these monks did were really flattering, enclosing land, and making friends with the powerful, this heavy behavior was no different from some officials who were power-grabbing, their behavior not only made the treasury collect a lot, but also made some people have no land to cultivate, Su Wuming knew these situations very well, so he supported Li Yan's attack on Buddhism, but he felt that this matter should not be done by him.

This is a thankless thing, Buddhism was introduced into China at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, after hundreds of years of development, whether in the court or the people, there are a large number of believers, attacking Buddhism, is undoubtedly self-defeating, but if you don't do it, the emperor Li Yan will definitely not let him go.

The night was silent, only Su Wuming's footsteps sounded slowly, and then returned to calm, Su Wuming walked all the way like this, and finally had to sigh, he couldn't hide!

When they got home, everyone hadn't gone to sleep yet, because they wanted to know what the emperor was doing when Xuansu entered the palace without a name.

After talking about the emperor's appointment, Nangong Yan nodded slightly in approval, and said, "These monks are dignified, it's time to rectify them." ”

Nangong Yan said this, and only Tang Xiong was followed, but Wen Wan'er, Jiang Ying, and Lin Yun were embarrassed, and soon, Nangong Yan noticed the expressions of several of them, so she asked very puzzled: "What, did I say something wrong?" ”

Wen Wan'er smiled indifferently: "My sister is naturally not wrong, those monks are indeed dignified, but this errand of the Xianggong is difficult to do, not to mention that Buddhism has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years, even if they are now powerful, they don't have to be poor in the court!" ”

Hearing this, Nangong Yan was taken aback, and it was only at this time that she realized that she was thinking about things too simply, she thought that this was the emperor's order, did anyone dare to disobey the emperor's order?

No one dares to disobey the emperor's order, but there are people who dare to disobey Su Wuming, if they provoke the anger of the public, I am afraid that they will have to be careful when walking on the road in the future, not to mention being assassinated, the saliva of the people who believe in Buddhism is enough for them.

Everyone talked about it like this, as if it was too difficult to complete this thing that hit Buddhism, and after such a discussion, Nangong Yan's face turned very bad, and finally glanced at Su Wuming, and said: "Su Lang, this matter is too difficult to do, I think it's better to push it off!" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "The emperor's golden mouth has been opened, but I'm afraid we can't retreat, unless we don't want to live." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Su Wuming smiled bitterly, the so-called imperial favor is sometimes simply weak and vulnerable, so no matter how much Li Yan likes the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by himself, he still won't do anything that damages the majesty of the royal family for himself, and Su Wuming also knows that someone must be making trouble behind this matter, and that person must be Li Deyu.

It was late at night, but everyone had no intention of sleeping, I don't know how long it was, Su Wuming got up and said to everyone: "It's late, everyone go back and rest!" ”

"Adult ......"

"Brother Su......"

Jiang Ying, Lin Yun, Tang Xiong and the others wanted to speak and stopped, and at this time, Su Wuming smiled: "Don't worry, although this matter is difficult to do, it is still difficult for me Su Wuming, I already have a way to deal with it, I am afraid that a few people will be busy tomorrow, so let's go and rest." ”

As soon as everyone heard that Su Wuming had a way to deal with it, their faces suddenly showed joy, and they said, "My lord, but I have orders, I will not give up until I die!" ”

Su Wuming nodded, and then asked a few of them to go back to rest, and then he also went back to the house with his two wives to rest, and on the way, Nangong Yan asked, "Su Lang, do you really have a way to deal with it?" ”

"Naturally!"

There was a light rain in the middle of the night, and this light rain only made the sky clearer and more comfortable the next day, Su Wuming got up and just opened the door, and found Jiang Ying, Lin Yun and Tang Xiong They were all standing outside his door, he was a little surprised, but he soon understood, he said yesterday that he would work hard for them, so they came.

This matter is very important, so they are all very diligent, which makes Su Wuming can't help but feel a warm current hit his heart, and at this time, Jiang Ying has already spoken: "What do you command?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "How many of you have had breakfast?" ”

The three of them nodded again and again, and when Su Wuming saw this, he had no choice but to say: "Because the stakes are so high that we must not act rashly, so I must know how many monasteries there are in the entire Chang'an City, and how many of these temples are preaching goodwill Buddhism, and how many are looting among the people in the name of Buddhism, in addition, I also need to know what kind of connection these Buddhism has behind the court officials, and who their followers are." ”

After saying this, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun immediately took the order, and after listening to Su Wuming's words, they faintly felt that this matter could be successful.

And just after a few of them received the order, Su Wuming seemed to think of something again, so he said: "Besides, investigate the famous Taoist temples in Chang'an City, Buddhism and Taoism have been a bit incompatible since ancient times, maybe we can take advantage of it; Be careful when you go to investigate, and don't let people know about what we're going to do with Buddhism until we do it. ”

After Jiang Ying Lin Yun and the others received the order, they immediately went down to investigate, but after a few of them went down, Su Wuming's face suddenly showed a solemn expression, because he felt that it would take at least five or six days for the three of them to investigate the things they had confessed.

It's not that Su Wuming thinks that their ability is poor, but these things are too onerous, not easy to investigate, and their manpower is too small, at this time, Su Wuming feels that if he has an intelligence network, these things may be done in a day, but unfortunately now that his official position is low, and his financial resources are a little weak, it is not easy to get an intelligence network.

When he thought about it in his heart, Su Wuming couldn't help but smile bitterly, he solved the case himself, why didn't the emperor reward him, if his official position was promoted, many things would be handled very easily.

After having breakfast in a hurry, Su Wuming went to Dali Temple alone, although Cao Ying was murdered and found the murderer, but a lot of follow-up work still requires him to go to Dali Temple to record, without these, the criminal department is not easy to decide.

It's just that when Su Wuming walked on the street, he found that some people on the street looked at him a little strangely, that kind of look was not a look of worship, but a kind of disgust, but this disgust was not very strong, this kind of look made Su Wuming feel uncomfortable, he didn't understand, what happened to make him look at so many people with this disgust?

Su Wuming's mind turned very fast, so after he walked for a while, he finally figured out that these people already knew that they were ordered to fight Buddhism.

But how did this matter come out so quickly?

This matter can't be hidden, but Su Wuming doesn't think that last night's decision can be passed on this morning, and he hasn't done it yet, how can these ordinary people know?

There must be something wrong behind this matter, maybe someone is framing him, and soon, Su Wuming already has a general understanding of the ins and outs of this matter, thinking of his relationship in the DPRK and China, and the people who know about it, the only one who is likely to spread this matter is Li Deyu, who wants to borrow the power of these people to make trouble for himself.

Su Wuming frowned slightly, for these people, he did not get to the point of being very afraid, he is an official, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, these people have complained a few words at most, and then caused a momentum among the people, but these voices can't help themselves, because he is acting on the orders of the emperor, as long as the emperor does not revoke his right to investigate this matter, those voices can't help him.

It's just that Su Wuming is very afraid that after these news are known by those court officials, how will they deal with him, some officials believe in Buddhism very seriously, not only often go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, but even build a Buddhist hall in their own house, people like them are absolutely not allowed to attack Buddhism, they are powerful, and their words are much more effective than the eyes of the people.

Su Wuming sighed, these things can only be taken one step at a time.

After entering Dali Temple, Su Wuming found that his colleagues were also looking at him with a strange look, but the eyes of these colleagues were very complicated, with hatred, doubt, and even sympathy.

When Su Wuming walked through Dali Temple and came to Ling Hugu, he found a trace of calmness in Ling Hugu's eyes, but in this calmness, there was three points of joy.

Su Wuming understood that he posed a threat to Ling Hu Gu, and Ling Hu Gu was only afraid that he was hoping for something that would make him recover.

Ling Hugu glanced at Su Wuming and smiled lightly: "Congratulations to Master Su for solving the murder case of Huizhen Temple, can the rest of the filing work be done?" ”

"It's done!"

"Okay, you come in, this official has something to say to you!"

After the two entered Ling Hugu's office room, Ling Hugu looked very enthusiastic, and after letting Su Wuming sit down, he immediately asked: "I heard that because of the murder of Huizhen Temple, the emperor feels that Buddhism hides dirt and dirt, so he wants to send you to rectify these Buddhist monasteries?" ”

Su Wuming didn't expect Ling Hu Gu to ask so directly, so he had to nod and say, "Exactly!" ”
