Wei Zhongxian has been linked to Zhang Gui because of his own interests, so naturally in his position, he can only firmly support the rectification of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.

Therefore, he continued to refute these powerful bureaucrats in the name of not being able to bear the enslavement of the people by Buddhist temples, and also said cruel words, saying that if these powerful bureaucrats make trouble again, they will be killed on the grounds of trespassing on the palace ban.

Guo Zuoyong, Li Chengming, and other powerful bureaucrats had no choice but to leave, but their eyes revealed their resentment towards Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian didn't care, only smiled contemptuously, and then entered the West Garden.

After all, although these powerful bureaucrats have a respected status, they are actually more cowardly than one another, and they will not really dare to tear their faces with the court for the Buddhist monks and monks.

The powerful bureaucrats had no choice but to take the initiative to dismiss the monks and nuns in their own temples and take back the temple property of their own temples.

For a time, there was a large increase in the number of homeless monks and nuns in society.

"The reason for all this today is that the imperial court wants to rectify the Buddhist temple and Taoism, so that we now have no half of the tiles and half of the grain to eat! But didn't the court itself repeatedly say that the Han people should have compatriot feelings, and we are also Han people, so the court can't ignore our life or death! ”

"That's right, we won't join any cult rebellion, let alone resist the will of the imperial court, but the imperial court can't let us starve to death, let's just go to the Daming Gate and meditate until we starve to death!" It is necessary to see if the court solves it. ”

And because of this, many monks and nuns also complained about the imperial court's policy of rectifying Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and rushed to Beijing one after another, preparing to sit-in and demonstrate outside the Daming Gate in the name of turning the fate.

However, the Ming court naturally did not intend to ignore these monks and nuns who left the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple, but specially set up many official schools, ready to recruit them to the school to receive relevant vocational training.

It's just that these monks and nuns have never been used to production, where are they willing to learn skills and think about making a living by labor? also ignored these officials who were in charge of vocational training, and just wanted the court to continue to support them.

Therefore, many monks and nuns gradually sat down outside the Daming Gate, knocking on wooden fish and holding broken bowls.

To the back, the entire chessboard street outside the Daming Gate is almost full of monks and nuns sitting here, densely packed, and even impassable.

So much so that in the end, the monks and nuns sitting here spread out of the city, and seemed to be deliberately on hunger strike.

"What to do? The Shuntianfu reported that tens of thousands of monks and nuns had been meditating outside, and they refused to leave even if they were persuaded by the imperial history of the city. ”

Wei Zhongxian now directly asked Zhang Guilai.

Zhang Gui pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then glanced at Wei Zhongxian: "Perhaps, we can't be too polite." ”

"Do you mean to kill them, or really starve them to death?"

Wei Zhongxian asked.

Zhang Gui asked, "Do you think they will really be willing to starve themselves to death?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "That's not going to happen, few people can resist hunger." But there is no guarantee that there will be no such people, who would rather starve themselves to death than have the court take care of their life or death. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Gui said: "In this way, all those who go on hunger strike to protest and demonstrate will be sent to the newly opened territory in the west!" ”

"Don't they yearn to go to the West, and if the West has bliss, let them go to the West to enrich the new frontier."

"Even if they are going to starve themselves to death, they will starve to death on the frontier!"

"In addition, for those who do not obey, there is no need to put them to death, but they will be exiled to the Western Frontier as a punishment!"

"In short, we can't just let them lose the opportunity to work, and the more unwilling they are to work on their own, the more they must let them work on their own."

"Good!"

Wei Zhongxian also ordered the official schools of Dongchang and Jinyiwei to rush towards Damingmen, and asked Xu Xianchun to personally issue an order to these monks and nuns to be exiled if they went on hunger strike again.

Seeing this, many monks and nuns obediently left here, not daring to go on a hunger strike to protest again, after all, compared to being exiled to a bitter cold place such as Western Xinjiang, even if they had a much worse life in the Guan, it was still better than outside the Guan.

But there are still many monks and nuns who are not moved, they just don't want the imperial court to rectify the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, so that they can continue to live the landlord life in the temples and Taoist temples before.

Xu Xianchun simply ordered these monks and nuns to be forcibly arrested on a mule cart and then transported to Western Xinjiang.

"Why do you want to exile us, what crime have we committed?!"

"We're just here to make a relationship, and the court refuses to let us eat the rent of the small people, so don't we be allowed to make a relationship?!"

Therefore, some monks asked loudly at this time, expressing their dissatisfaction with the current policy of the imperial court to rectify Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.

"What do you factory guards want to do, can you gamble and eat and drink outside the Ming Gate, you can sell laughter and singing, you can shout and sell, but you can't turn your fate?!"

Jiao An, who had already shaved his hair and served as a little monk in the vegetable garden in the temple of Jingshiyi, also directly questioned these factory guards at this time.

Jiao An didn't expect him to be so unlucky, because he still wanted to get something for nothing, so he didn't choose to go to the government-run vocational school to learn any skills, but he still didn't choose to go to the palace from the palace, but left home first, preparing to become a monk, so that he could still be a slave in the Hou Mansion before, as long as he served the monk who was in charge of things, he could continue to be powerful in front of the tenants of the temple and the novices at the bottom.

But who knows, not long after the blink of an eye, the imperial court began to rectify the Buddhist temple, so that he now has to follow a group of brothers and sisters to the Daming Gate to protest in the name of fate.

But Xu Xianchun's factory guards naturally won't be kind enough to reason with these.

Xu Xianchun himself even kicked away a monk who refused to leave and questioned their factory guards, and said: "You ask you what crime you have committed, you have committed the crime of gathering a crowd to plot rebellion, and you are suspected of plotting rebellion, according to the above order, if you don't leave, you will all be exiled to the western frontier!" If you resist a lot, you will be punished by the palace as a punishment! ”

As he spoke, Xu Xianchun waved his hand and commanded the factory guards under his command: "Catch!" ”

"Yes!"

These factory guards agreed, and began to pick up shackles to catch these monks and nuns who still refused to leave.

As a result, many monks and nuns were arrested and put into a large prisoner's cart pulled by a large mule cart, and six or seven people were huddled together as if they were pulling a pile of clothes.

There was a monk who didn't control his emotions, and he also relied on some martial arts, so he took a Zen staff and hit these factory guards, shouting: "Fuck your mother, dare to arrest this monk, I want your factory guards to bleed here today!" ”

Bang!

But then, there was a bang.

As the saying goes, no matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of fire.

The warrior monk immediately went to the end, and then several factory guards surrounded him, took out a short knife, and slashed the warrior monk on the spot.

tomato

"Ahh

The warrior monk screamed, and was immediately carried down by several factory guards and thrown into the prisoner's car.

The other monks and nuns all changed their faces when they saw this, and they didn't dare to move anymore, so they were all arrested and put into the prison car.

"They said they were turning into a relationship?"

Zhang Gui learned the latest situation from Wei Zhongxian shortly after this.

Wei Zhongxian said: "That's right, Xu Xianchun told his son personally, they said that the imperial court did not allow them to eat small people's rents, aren't they still allowed to make a relationship?" ”

"It's just not allowed! Let them maliciously beg, wouldn't it seem that His Majesty is incapable of governing the country? ”
