Chapter 150 Xu Jingzong knows everything
Yun Chu took his whole family, with the five thousand nests of soldiers he had collected, and a large group of monks such as Xuanzang set off to return to Chang'an.
The Taoist monk of the White Horse Temple was appointed by the emperor as the great monk of Juemiao Qingzheng Tibetan Esoteric Monk, and became the ninth great monk after Zhizang, Huiyin, Jizang, Baogong, Mingzhen, Fakan, Haizang, and Xuanzang.
If you count the Fawang Naha again, it will become the ten virtues of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that Naha is young, and Master Xuanzang tried his best to stop it, so Naha didn't become one of the ten virtues.
The ten virtuous monks are actually the central organization recognized by the Tang Dynasty to manage the monks of the state capitals and the monks.
Six in the south and three in the north.
It is very strange to say that the senior monks of the Tang Dynasty generally study in the south, and when they complete their studies, they will come to the northern temples to serve as hosts.
Therefore, after Master Daozheng, the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, became a new virtuous monk, he had to leave the White Horse Temple and go to Chang'an to take up the post of the host of the Great Xingshan Temple.
The imperial court will select a virtuous monk from the south to come to the White Horse Temple as the new presiding officer.
The crown prince Li Hong strongly recommended Naha to his mother to take up the position of the host of the White Horse Temple, but was reprimanded by Wu Mei three times before he got out of the Hanyuan Palace.
Naha is the queen of the Buddha country, in fact, she is the presiding master of the Buddha country, this point has been decided a long time ago, whether it is the emperor or the queen, it will not easily change this.
However, Naha cannot stay in the Buddha country permanently, instead, she needs to stay in Chang'an and continue to practice with Master Xuanzang in the Great Ci'en Temple.
Yun Chu was very satisfied with the emperor's arrangement, so Naha would live in the house and go to the Great Ci'en Temple for a while.
A monk, or a nun, mixed to the extent of Naha, as long as he does not rebel, basically has no worries about his life.
Although the emperor and the queen must have their considerations for arranging Buddhism like this, Yunchu doesn't care, this is Xuanzang, peeping into their business.
According to gentle speculation, the reason why the emperor and empress have such an arrangement is actually to provoke the confrontation between the north and the south of Buddhism, and because the monks in the north are relatively strong, they deliberately weaken their right to speak.
In the Tang Dynasty, there are a number of degrees issued every year for professional monks, and after the imperial court formulates a total number, these degrees are distributed to the hands of the top ten virtuous monks, and then the ten virtuous monks are distributed to the monks of each state capital.
In other words, the imperial court allowed people in the south to become monks more, and people in the north to become monks less.
This kind of thing doesn't matter to Naha, because her Buddha realm has always been indiscriminate, and she can post as much as she wants...... The imperial court longed for the men of the entire Western Regions to become monks, and women to become nuns.
In just one month, so many things have happened in Luoyang City, and when Yun Chu left, he basically couldn't see the impact of these things on Luoyang, after all, it was a giant city with its own special way of operating.
Di Renjie refused the opportunity to stay in Luoyang Dali Temple as a minister, but insisted on returning to Chang'an and taking up the post of Shaoqing of Chang'an Dali Temple.
Everyone knows that the emperor is there, the power is there, and the authority of the minister in Luoyang is greater than that of Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Chang'an.
….
Especially after the emperor and the empress left Chang'an, Chang'an really only left Chang'an, Wannian two counties, and the rest of the authority belonged to the Yongzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
The governor of the Yongzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is Li Shen, the king of Ji, but he is not a big governor......
Fortunately, Dali Temple Qing is in Luoyang, and Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Chang'an has become the highest judicial officer in Chang'an.
This is what people like Di Renjie expect.
Over the years, that is, Yun Chu, gentle, Di Renjie has been restrained and has not launched an attack on the high position, otherwise, in terms of the temperament of the three of them, they are three very expensive people.
After many deaths in Luoyang City, the emperor decided to pardon the sinners in Luoyang Prison in order to calm the situation.
Therefore, the people who were implicated and imprisoned by the eight wealthy families were all released, and this is the second time they have entered and been released
It's out.
The people are ignorant, they don't really know anything, even if there is a stampede, even if there is an explosion, and there is an accident in which the assassination of the official office and the East Palace are attacked, as long as they don't see it with their own eyes, they still don't care much.
For countless years, ordinary people have been like this, and without the pain of their skin, they cannot feel the pain of others.
Someone told them the whole story of everything that happened in Luoyang City, starting from the wealthy family, to the revenge of the secret agents, and then to the rebellion of the aliens, and explained everything clearly.
Even ignorant children clearly know that the tragedy that happened in Luoyang not long ago was made by these eight families.
Public opinion can be deceived again, it depends on how it is said, therefore, these rumors with clear ideas and high credibility have finally reached a consensus in the hearts of the people of Luoyang City.
That is, the sin is in the wealthy, in the family, in the aliens, as for the emperor...... They still don't dare to complain.
In this environment, it has become a luxury for the eight wealthy families to continue to settle in Luoyang, and no one can live in an environment that is generally hated for them.
Compared with Luoyang, Chang'an is much more friendly to them, especially before leaving Luoyang, Chang'an County Commander and Wannian County Commander also specially visited some families and clans with gifts, and also took the initiative to extend a friendly hand, hoping that they can go to Chang'an to live, so as to improve the overall quality of Chang'an people.
Yun Chu and Wen Wen also assured these people that they would be given a peaceful living environment and a new environment where they could quietly study, do business, and take exams.
These people still trust Yun Chu and Wen Rou very much, after all, these two people are both from the Tang Jinshi, Yun Chu Jinshi is the ninth, and Wen Rou is the third.
There is no doubt that these two people are both scholars, and the most important thing is that the character of these two people is well-known in Chang'an.
Dealing with them, no matter who they are, is a great pleasure.
There are also smart people who feel that it is inappropriate, Yun Chu and Wen Rou are building in Chang'an, and even the city walls are being demolished.
I also heard that the two of them, one is ready to continue to build Daming Palace, and the other is ready to take out the entire Xingqing Fang to build Xingqing Palace.
Judging from these conditions, the reason why the two of them are courteous to others is only for two purposes, one is the money in the pockets of the wealthy families in Luoyang, and the other is to hope that the emperor will move the court to Chang'an after seeing Daming Palace and Xingqing Palace.
….
"Taifu, those wealthy families are not good people, why did the master invite them to Chang'an?"
Since Xu Jingzong became Li Hong's full-time teacher, as long as he encountered a problem that he did not understand, Li Hong would take the initiative to ask Taifu.
Xu Jingzong did not feel that he had been marginalized by the imperial court for the position of Taifu left, on the contrary, he now enjoyed being a pure Taifu.
The overthrow in the court is a bit cruel for an eighty-year-old man, he himself is a generation of Confucianism, if he just calms down and teaches the prince, it is not difficult for him.
"Because those people have money."
"However, there are a lot of rich people in Datang, why invite these inappropriate people?"
"That's because the two of them dare not move because of the pure and flawless rich people, so they have to invite a lot of flawed people to Chang'an, so that the two of them can find an opportunity to start."
"Are you going to kill them?"
"The old man thinks no, Yun Chu will only sell them many, many good-looking houses and mansions."
"Isn't that cheaper for them?"
"I don't know if it's cheap old man, but after those wealthy families buy houses, it is estimated that there will not be much money to harvest the people."

It takes a hundred dollars.
Oh, when your great-grandfather was still Tang Guogong, he melted down all the bronze statues in your ancestral temple and used them all to buy rice, and finally, when your great-grandfather rebelled, a bucket of rice was worth 500 yuan."
"Why did my great-grandfather do this?"
"Oh, that's because your great-grandfather didn't want Yang Guangdong's expedition to succeed, after the price of rice rose nearly a hundred times, the price of the rest of the materials would also rise, at this time, Yang Guang originally estimated that the grain and grass materials that were enough, but after his expedition to the east, there was a shortage of more than ninety percent.
Therefore, during Yang Guang's last crusade to the east, many soldiers who conquered Goguryeo had to flee all the way because of lack of food and clothing, and were killed by the Goguryeo people miserably.
In the end, Wang Bo began to sing the song "Song of Death in Liaodong Waves" in Liaodong, and then, the world was in chaos, and there were thirty-six anti-kings and seventy-two puffs of smoke and dust, and your great-grandfather was one of them anti-king."
"How do you know?"
"Does the old man know what's strange? At that time, the old man was a grain and grass master under your great-grandfather's command, and a lot of copper coins were circulated to the market from the old man's hands, and a lot of military rations were bought, and they were all hidden, and they became the military rations of your great-grandfather's rebellion."
"Since everyone has thrown copper coins out, how will they be recovered when the time comes?"
"This is very simple, when the wealthy people transfer all the copper coins to the people, we will not accept copper coins, at least when we sell things, we will not collect copper coins when we pay taxes, and we will only trade in barter.
During the period when your great-grandfather was the emperor, everyone's recognized coins changed from copper coins to silk, linen, and grain, from the thirteenth year of the Great Cause to the ninth year of Wude, for a full nine years, my Datang series never stored copper coins.
And those people with copper coins in their hands, in order to get a bite to eat, took out the only copper coins and handed them to the wealthy people to melt into bronze utensils and change them for a bite to eat......
Many temples, family temples, Taoist temples, and nunnery were built at that time, and everyone had a lot of copper, but there were few copper coins on the market.
It wasn't until your grandfather ascended the throne that he felt that bartering was too costly, and it was inconvenient to trade and collect taxes, that he began to slowly open the copper mountain and increase the amount of Kaiyuan Tongbao minted."
Li Hong pondered for a long time before he said, "How much impact does this have on the people?"
Xu Jingzong laughed and said, "In the ninth year of the Great Cause, there were 7.8 million households in the former Sui Dynasty, with a total of more than 50 million people, and by the seventh year of Wude, there were 2 million households in the Tang Dynasty, and the total number did not exceed 16 million.
You have learned martial arts with Yun Chu for so long, you should know how many people can die directly under the sword soldiers.
Most of them died of starvation, disease, and freezing......
