Inside the prison, Wuming is remembering the glory of the past. That day, he went to Qiu Shiliang's mansion and talked about Buddhism, mainly talking about how the Buddha had boundless power and how to be compassionate, and he was talking about the sky, as if he had entered the Buddha and would immediately live forever. Qiu Shiliang just smiled and listened.

At that time, Wu Ming actually didn't know what to say, he used to take out this set, all to deal with some people who don't believe in Buddhism, or not pious enough, people are enemies of Shiliang, but they are very pious, there is a Buddhist hall at home, not to mention, there are statues of Guanyin in the Shence army.

At the time of the change of manna, the mastermind Li Xun was hidden by the monk Zongmi, and it was difficult to escape death, but he was also let go by Qiu Shiliang. It can be seen that he worships Buddha. Therefore, how can the enlightenment set be effective for Qiu Shiliang.

However, Qiu Shiliang did not refute him, because Wuming's statement was still a little listening, and he also instructed the slaves and maids in the family to invite a few wives to listen together.

"You may be able to divide my aunts, and which one of them is my wife." , the good power of the enemy is poured for a while, and the wives he marries are naturally all beauties, which makes people shout when they see it, you are a eunuch, there are no more below, why do you marry such a beautiful wife.

Qiu Shiliang was originally joking, but it was enough to make Wuming sweat profusely, thinking that this was a test, and he made a move, and said, "What's so difficult about this, Gonggong Qiu is dedicated to the Buddha, naturally blessed by the Buddha, and his wife is protected by a Buddha's light on her head."

In this way, Wuming immediately knew that it was Qiu Shiliang's wife... Because everyone in the hall, whether it was someone who could serve inside, or a few wives and concubines who had entered the hall, and even Qiu Shiliang himself, all looked at a woman's head. She is not Qiu Shiliang's wife, which is the wife?

In this way, he played a little clever to become enlightened, successfully won the favor of Qiu Shiliang, and became famous in Chang'an. If you really want to talk about it, Wuming's fortune is thanks to Qiu Shiliang, but unfortunately, within a few days of being imprisoned, he sold Qiu Shiliang.

But he didn't care at all, because he knew that one moment he was still on Qiu Shiliang's seat, and the next moment he became a prisoner, and if people dared to treat him like this, it showed that Qiu Shiliang was probably not good, and he was probably not good with the forest bird, and he was going to fly separately when the disaster came, not to mention that he and Qiu Shiliang were far from being the same forest bird.

Although it was not yet midnight, the emperor was in a hurry, Li Deyu quickly put on his court clothes, entered the palace, and soon saw the Son of Heaven in the Zichen Palace.

"Aiqing is exempt, sit." , Li Deyu hadn't saluted yet, he was very important to Li Deyu, so he waved his hand and asked her to sit down, and then began to speak.

"If Yan wants to abolish the Buddha, Aiqing has a suggestion." , the Son of Heaven didn't talk nonsense, and directly said his plan, "Emperor Wenzong once said to the prime minister, "In ancient times, three people ate one peasant together, and now there are soldiers and Buddhas, and one peasant is eaten by five people, among which our people are especially trapped in Buddha." This Buddhism should be forbidden.'" , Li Deyu thought for a moment and then spoke in favor, "Sage, now that the imperial court is running hard, the tax revenue in various places is serious, and the tax revenue this year is less than 11 million yuan, even the salt payment. The minister thinks that this Buddha should be forbidden.

It's not that the Tang Dynasty's taxes were so little, in fact, the local interception was serious, and many places loved to pay but not pay, and this situation is getting worse and worse. However, even if the local government does not withhold it, and the taxes that can be paid to the imperial court after deducting local expenses must be deducted, it is probably only doubled, more than 20 million yuan.

"It is the Buddha who impoverishes my people." Today, Li Yan said, "The edict is to abolish Buddhism." "Saint, this should be done step by step." , Li Yan nodded.

Li Deyu agrees with the abolition of Buddha, completely from an economic point of view, as for today's son..., it doesn't matter, just need the prime minister's approval.

In the second year of Huichang, when today's son issued an edict, "in the mountains of Kyushu, the two capitals, the monks are wide, and the Buddhist temple is worshipped." Labor is in the work of civil engineering, and it is beneficial to the ornament of Jinbao; When the widow is a teacher, he violates his spouse between the precepts. Bad laws harm people, and there is no way to go beyond this. and a husband has no land, and there are those who suffer from his hunger; A woman does not have silkworms, and there are those who suffer from its cold. Today, there are countless monks and nuns, all of whom are waiting for agriculture to eat, and silkworms to be clothed. The temple is recruited, Mo Zhi Ji Ji, all clouds are decorated with algae, and the palace is pretended. Jin, Song, Liang, Qi, material resources withered, customs and deceit, all of which could not help but be caused. … The abolition of the Buddha is the source of punishment for the ages, the law of a hundred kings, and the benefit of others."

In the first step, starting with some monks who had committed the precepts, Wuzong Li Yan ordered the offenders and violators among the monks and nuns to return to the laity, confiscate all their property, and "put them into two taxes and forced labor (Wuzong Benji, Old Tang Book, vol. 18).

It's a bit of a scoundrel to say that it forced the monks to return to the laity and confiscate their property. Then should you go out of the court to sell fakes? Isn't it equivalent to the fact that the imperial court collected the taxes of those monks in advance, and now it is forcing people to return to the laity, and they have to confiscate their property.

But judging from the actual situation in the Tang Dynasty. The tax is 11 million yuan, and if it is converted into RMB, if rice is used as the pricing standard, the consistent money is equivalent to 100 RMB. In this way, the total tax revenue of the Tang Empire is about 1.1 billion RMB. This is really..., until now, the income of a province is far greater than the income of a country in the Tang Dynasty.

It's tragic enough, you must know that the court tax revenue during the heyday of the Xuanzong Dynasty could reach 50 million. Even after the Anshi Rebellion, under the rectification of some financial reputations, the imperial court also had an income of 20 million. Although it is far from the current standard, it is not as good as now, cut in half.

And for the imperial court, although the imperial court sells it every year, it does not allow each monk to keep a large amount of property and does not pay taxes.

The second point: the circulation of national coins is seriously insufficient, a large number of copper coins have been melted down, and they have been used to cast Buddha statues, can the Son of Heaven not be hated? The implementation of the two tax laws has made the copper coins tightened, and you still use them to cast Buddha statues, which is simply a great crime, destroying the stability and unity of the country, and it is strange if you don't clean it up.

"One more thing..." , Li Yan said, "That old dog slave is getting more and more arrogant now, are you ready?" , Qiu Shiliang is really majestic, even if there is no Li Chen, Wu Zong does not intend to let him go.

"According to the orders of the saints, they gathered their henchmen and divided them with gold and silver, and now they have also made a contribution." , Li Deyu smiled and said, "Great." Hearing this, Wu Zong couldn't help but stand up and turned around twice, "Saint, if the Saint wants to take back the Divine Ce Army, he probably can't do it." , Seeing that Wu Zong was so happy, Li Deyu poured cold water on Wu Zong.

"The saint must not think that by dividing those henchmen, he can take back the military power. It's hard.' Ignoring Wu Zong's angry gaze, Li Deyu shook his head and said, "Those eunuchs understand a truth very well, once the military power is no longer in their hands, it will be their end. No matter how fierce the fight is, as long as the imperial court wants to take back the military power, I am afraid that the change of nectar will be repeated."

"At that time, even the saints may not be able to save their lives." After Li Deyu finished speaking, Wu Zong also sat down, he knew in his heart that Li Deyu was not wrong at all. He tried so hard, but it was just a suppressive effect.

At this point, they have all arranged how to deal with Qiu Shiliang, on the one hand, they will befriend his henchmen with gold and silver and divide them. On the other hand, Li Deyu and Wu Zong teamed up to frame Qiu Shiliang once, which made his prestige in the Shence army plummet, it's time to do it, as long as Qiu Shiliang is cleaned up, even if he can't suppress the eunuch forces at one time, it will play a deterrent role to some extent, and the rest can only depend on whether the Tang Dynasty will produce a Ming monarch in the future to revive the dynasty. Now let's see, our protagonist Li Chen, where is he now?

"It's miserable, it's dead." , stepping into the air, Li Chen said in his heart that he was playing, the cliff behind him is not too high, he knows this, the problem is that it is not high, it is also called a cliff, and it is enough for him to fall to death.

In mid-air, Li Chen tried his best to adjust his posture, he had seen many movies and comics before, and the protagonist had the experience of falling from a height, sometimes he would want to say that if he fell from a height one day, how to resolve it.

The first thing is, of course, to try to pull something in mid-air to minimize the speed of the fall, which he really can't do at the moment.

Secondly, pray that the cliff is not too high, if it is not too high, he can try to land on the ground with the tip first, and then use the strength of his body elasticity and rolling to defuse the impact, which is also not possible, so he must react very well.

Then Li Chen thought, he is eighty percent dead, people say that he will return to the light before he dies, he actually has time to think about so much, either this cliff is too high, or he is dying, life is like a marquee in front of him for a short time, he used it to think about it. Oh, no, there's another way.

"Poof. cough cough, Li Chen finally succeeded and did not fall to death, but only fell half to death. In his busy schedule, he dressed him in a nightgown and tried to be as impulsive as possible, that is, to open it as much as possible, and to use the wide nightgown to increase the wind resistance and reduce the speed of descent.

"Slav~." He was halfway successful, and the robe that was stretched up did play a parachute deceleration effect, but unfortunately, it only played a short role, and the robe was torn, and Li Chen continued to accelerate and fall.

However, after all, he did not fall to death, but only half to death, because he fell on his own cement pile. The cement waste was originally sand, and Li Chen slowed down again, and finally avoided falling to his death. fell dizzy and went to half life.

"Damn, those are the monks of the Longevity Temple, or those thieves." , Li Chen originally wanted to rest here for a while, and when he recovered, he went back to the temple, but after waiting for a while, he saw a few people who didn't seem to be monks.

"Dead, dead. What should I do now, this is too arrogant, how can the Longevity Temple also be built by order, come to the temple to kill people and set fires, but no one cares about him." , Li Chen is too late to regret it now, he is still falling badly, it is either impossible to get up and run, or the speed is too slow.

Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he thought of a good idea.
