After leaving Luoyang, Zheng Kezhang suddenly wanted to go to see Zhongyue Songshan. As the supreme feudal emperor, his will was naturally implemented immediately, so the group turned a corner in Yanshi, and then entered the territory of Dengfeng.

Songshan is located in the Central Plains, lying horizontally in the east and west, it is the remaining vein of Funiu Mountain, it was called "foreign" by the ancestors in ancient times, and it was called "Songgao" and "Chongshan" in Xia Shang. Chinese?? Zhou Yu called Yu's father Kun "Zheng Bo Kun", and the name of "sublime" ended here. It is recorded in the "Historical Records": "The kings of the past three generations are all between Heluo, so Songgao is the middle mountain, and the four mountains are the same as their side." According to the Eastern Han Dynasty Ban Gu in "White Tiger Pass": "The central Yue, who is the one who adds Song Gaozong? Zhongyue lives in the middle of the four directions and is high, so it is said that Song is high. The Western Zhou Dynasty was called "Yue Mountain", after King Zhou Ping moved the capital to Luoyang, Song Mountain was set as "Zhongyue". When Tang Wu Zetian sealed Chansong Mountain, he once changed "Zhongyue" to "Shenyue". However, since the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been called Zhongyue Songshan so far.

Songshan overlooks the Yellow River and Luoshui in the north, Yingshui and Jishan in the south, Bianliang in Kyoto in the east, and Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties in the west. In the bizarre peaks, the palace is lined up, so it is the first mountain in the Central Plains. In history, there have been more than 30 emperors and more than 100 famous literati who visited Songshan in person, and there is a legend of the blessed land where the gods and goddesses gather and talk. There is also a famous sentence in the "Book of Songs" that "Song is high but the mountain, and the extreme is in the sky".

Songshan stretches for more than ten (new system), during which it is claimed that there are seventy-two peaks, however, Zheng Kezhang does not have much spare time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, so it is impossible to go to them one by one, and the only choice is to find a few key points in it.

The scenic spots circled by Zheng Kezhang are the most representative Zhongyue Temple, Songyang Academy and Shaolin Temple in Songshan.

But Dengfeng Zhixian was immediately dumbfounded when he saw this itinerary, this county from the Qing court anyway is also considered an old land, for fear that Zheng Kezhang would take advantage of the excitement and go to ruin the excitement, he immediately cried and reported to Zhengzhou (Zhengzhou) Governor Du Geng: "Fuzun, the main hall of Zhongyue Temple and the side halls on both sides were destroyed by fire as early as the fourteenth year of Chongzhen in the former Ming Dynasty, and they have not been repaired yet.

Du Geng, who had boiled from a small official in Dongning to Sipin Huangtang, immediately changed color: "Why didn't you say it earlier, how can you live now!" ”

Dengfeng Zhixian was speechless, Du Geng stabilized his mind: "Forget it, forget it, I can't complain about you, let's go down first." ”

The magistrate ran around like an amnesty, and Du Geng cursed angrily, but had to continue to hand over the contradictions.

In this way, the prefect sued the prefect, the prefect sued the governor, and finally the governor of Zhongzhou and other places reported to Zheng Kezang's ears, and Zheng Kezang just smiled tolerantly for the nervousness of the local parents and officials: "It's that I'm causing trouble to the place, so I will remove the Zhongyue Temple and Songyang Academy, and only go to the Shaolin Temple." ”

Gu Tongshan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to thank him, but he listened to Zheng Kezhang ask: "I flipped through the local chronicles of Dengfeng, Zhongyue Temple and Shaolin Temple are all temples with extremely strong incense, and they have thousands of hectares of fertile land, and they are actually big landlords. ”

Gu Tongshan thought for a while and responded: "What the Holy Lord said is extremely true, Zhongyue Temple and Shaolin Temple are not only the landlords of Dengfeng County, but the fields under their names are even more than the state and county, and I am afraid that it is still undercounted." ”

Zheng Kezhang stood up and walked around the room twice, and said meaningfully: "Over the past dynasties, Taoist temples have never paid taxes, and they occupy so much land, which is probably not a good thing for the country, the people, and the Buddhism itself." ”

Gu Tongshan's expression moved: "The Holy One is ready to levy taxes on the Temple Fields received by the Buddha, this, this is not very appropriate, after all, the exemption from taxes received by the Buddha is a thousand-year-old rule handed down from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Holy One has the intention to collect the Mongolian tribes, and at this time to restrict the Buddha's way, I am afraid that it will inevitably be used by the Qing Dynasty." ”

"I heard that the monks of Shaolin Temple threatened outside, saying that if there is a sister-in-law, there will be a field, if there is a good sister-in-law, there will be a good field, and if there is no sister-in-law, there will be no field, is this what the monks said?" Zheng Kezang's tone was full of murderous intent. "Of course, I won't learn the Three Martial Arts and One Sect to abolish the Buddha." Zheng Kezang originally didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but he was able to come to this life, obviously there is a great master in the underworld, so he has to believe in gods and Buddhas. "But I will never allow those hypocrites to flood the temples, and cults such as Maitreya, White Lotus, Sanyang, and Luo Sect are rampant in the world."

Gu Tongshan was frightened, and hurriedly admonished: "Holy Lord, the minister knows that the treasury is scarce, but this matter must be cautious. ”

Zheng Kezang glanced at Gu Tongshan coldly: "Gu Qing thinks that my move is intended to plot various temple properties?" ”

Gu Tongshan, who had always been upright, was also a little frightened at this moment, so he hurriedly knelt down: "The minister doesn't dare to speculate on the thoughts of the saints, the minister just thinks that this matter involves the whole world and even foreign countries, and he needs to act cautiously, so as not to be taken advantage of by the northern captives." ”

"I forgot, you did the protection of Jinlan Dadu." After Zheng Kezhang said something incomprehensible, he turned to ask. "Gu Qing, I intend to let the four countries of Annam, Vietnam, Chenla, and Siam marry each other, what do you think?"

Why did you digress all at once?

Gu Tongshan, who was a little confused, had no choice but to respond: "The Holy Lord's move is wonderful, although the four countries of them either believe in Hinayana or Mahayana, they always believe in the Liberation Gate, if they can marry each other, it is a good way to eliminate the war." ”

"In this way, it is still feasible to let the kings of Central and South China take the queen daughter of a foreign country?"

The corners of Zheng Kezang's mouth showed a hint of an unpredictable smile, extinguishing the fire? That's weird! The more relatives are with each other, the more likely they are to fight each other. When the time comes, countries will intervene in each other's succession to the throne, and a series of turmoil will inevitably arise. At that time, Huaxia could use the status of the suzerainty to pull one faction and fight another, so as to ensure that Huaxia's interests were not challenged while playing with the applause of the countries, this time it was the fundamental purpose of Zheng Kezang's bothered marriage plan.

"What do you think if I intend to let Korea, the Ryukyus, and even Japan join this circle of mutual marriage?"

"The minister has never been to Korea, Ryukyu, and Japan, so he dare not speak presumptuously. Moreover, the minister is not the minister of the governor, and he does not dare to trespass. ”

Zheng Kezhang nodded, waved his hand and let Gu Tongshan get up and reply: "There is some truth in what Qing said, but I just want to hear your personal thoughts, and I can't count as overstepping my authority." As for the fact that you haven't been to the Three Kingdoms and don't know the local public opinion, let's just talk nonsense, I've only heard about it. ”

Zheng Kezhang had to let Gu Tongshan say, Gu Tongshan had to say casually: "The minister thinks that Japan, Ryukyu, and Korea are not suitable for marriage with the four countries of Central and South China." First of all, the three kingdoms are located in the north, which is different from the climate of the four central and southern countries, and the kings and daughters of each country may not be able to adapt to the climate. ”

This is also true, marriage is a good thing, but it is not beautiful to die because of the water and soil.

"Secondly, the minister thinks that although North Korea is one of the vassals of this dynasty, its status is higher than that of other countries, and it is not appropriate to marry with the central and southern countries, so it is better to marry with the prince and son of our dynasty."

The subtext of the remark clearly implies that North Korea is something that China must firmly grasp, and that allowing a third party to intervene will obviously do more harm than good.

"Again, although Japan was defeated in the war, its lord was not willing to be subordinate, and he was a big country, if he arranged for him to marry his daughters, would this be considered a harmony? If he marries a different king's daughter, can the lord of the kingdom be crowned queen? ”

Zheng Kezhang furrowed his brows and thought about it, what he said was also true. I want to use this to destroy the inheritance of Japan's so-called eternal lineage, but with Japan's unique political environment, even if a different prince and daughter can become the emperor and empress and the middle palace, her son may not be able to become the heir to the emperor, so wouldn't it be a bamboo basket for nothing: "It makes sense, and I will continue to talk." ”

"A small country in the Ryukyus, even if you marry into another country, may not be taken seriously." Gu Tongshan said that this came to an abrupt end. "The above is a simple opinion of the minister, and I ask the Holy Lord to forgive the minister's sin of false words."

"Qing Zhicai is enough to be the governor and minister," Zheng Kezhang praised and appeased. "And work in Zhongzhou for another two years, and when a few old men are ready, I will definitely transfer you back to the court."

Gu Tongshan smiled bitterly, he is already in his sixties, how can he return to the dynasty after waiting for two years, Zheng Kezang's words are mostly appeased, and he can just pass it, but in front of Zheng Kezang, he still has to express his position: "The minister bows and thanks the saint for his wrong love, and the minister must do a good job in Zhongzhou and turn Zhongzhou into a happy land again." ”

"That's very good." Zheng Kezhang seemed to laugh heartily, and after laughing, Zheng Kezhang ordered the waiter. "The inner court allocated 50,000 yuan to repair Songyang Academy, as for the Luo Xue taught in the academy, don't change it, it can be regarded as a Mongolian and private study."

Gu Tongshan's heart sank, it seems that Zheng Kezhang is injecting funds to repair the college building and retain the tradition of the college, but degrading it to Mengxue as a private school is clearly a suppression of the line of science, once science loses its legal status, then its demise is just around the corner. It can be seen that Zheng Kezang's intentions are so bad.

However, since he understood Zheng Kezang's thoughts, Gu Tongshan didn't dare to fight with Zheng Kezang for anything, so he had to smile and compliment: "The saint is re-educated, and he is the master of immortal sainthood."

"Don't say these sour words." Zheng Kezhang waved his hand. "Let's go and arrange the itinerary of tomorrow's Shaolin Temple"

On November 17, the ninth year of Wucheng, Zheng Kezhang returned to Wuchang, and immediately issued a holy edict, announcing the confiscation of the Tianxia temple and view of the land on the grounds that the current temple view is arrogant and extravagant and far away from the purpose of monasticism, and the Ministry of Rites will re-determine the temple level, size, and the number of monks holding Taoist dishes, which is still only 500 acres of grain and vegetable fields, and further stipulates the standard for the temple to collect sesame oil money, and requires all levels of local authorities to continue to crack down on underground Taoist doors and cults such as White Lotus and Maitreya, and as for the confiscated land, it will be redeemed at a low price by the tenants who originally cultivated it.

As soon as the edict came out, the temples and temples everywhere mourned all over the wilderness, and the history was called "Wucheng Limiting Law"
