Chapter Two Hundred and Three: The Golden Dragon's First Order
Prince's Mansion.
Suddenly, a dark guard broke into the hall, and Master Ran and Yu Qiuni were discussing the method of curing Yifeng, but they were startled by him, and the secret guard didn't have time to be polite, and said directly: "The two masters and disciples run away as soon as possible, your incident has happened, and Emperor Shengwu is about to arrest you!"
Master Ran was even more surprised, and said, "What happened, what happened to us?"
The secret guard said: "Massacre the victims, rob official funds, and help the food rebellion!"
Liao Yu sneered: "These things were not done by us in the first place!"
The secret guard was anxious, but he was very smart, and said hurriedly: "Don't you understand? Is it no longer important? Emperor Shengwu is looking for a knife to the Buddha from the beginning! However, the hundred officials are stupid, and they only know how to offer advice, but they don't know why they want to dedicate themselves, and only the voice of the Great Pillar Kingdom is full of tears, and they use this as an end to accuse you of building a beam and a bridge for Emperor Shengwu."
He said coldly: "What's more, even if these three things were not done by you, are you clearly not implicated in the slightest? You have long been caught in their calculations, but they were able to break out today, you can not escape the blame, it is important to flee for your life!"
Master Zhiran's brows tightened, and he shouted, "Who the hell are you, how do you know so much?!"
The secret guard sneered, and released a powerful momentum all over his body, which was on par with Ran, and said: "I am the prince's personal secret guard, and my identity is no better than others. Others are forbidden to fly in the air, but the Shenwei Legion is under our command, so there is no obstacle, far faster than the Yulin Army that captured you, but at this time they must have reached the halfway point, not far away! Flee for your life! Escape!"
Master Ran and Yu Chuni panicked, they knew that after being caught, Cui Ming would definitely try to frame them, and they would not be able to survive!
Ran said in a deep voice: "Yifeng is still uncertain about his life and death, how can I carry him to escape?"
The fire monkey, Shuli and Ben Yuan heard it well outside, rushed in, and hurriedly said: "The three of us will take turns to carry the wind, and it is the most important thing to leave the prince's mansion quickly, leave Junzhou City, and flee to Nanzong Temple!"
Master Ran made up his mind decisively: "This can only be the case!"
The dark guard said: "As soon as possible, quickly! Remember, don't fly in the air, the Shenwei Legion doesn't know you, and will definitely stop you, even if you explain the reason, it will definitely let the Yulin Legion and others find out, you can only quickly escape from the city, don't look back!"
So Master Ran and others quickly prepared, Shuli went to Yifeng's room to carry him on his back, Xiu Gu and Ben Qian learned the reason, they couldn't care about much, and the group secretly escaped from the back door of the prince's mansion and ran to the south.
The secret guard quietly came out of the prince's mansion and flew low along the ridge of the heavy towers, and went faster to inform the Suzaku City Gate guards so that they would not be blocked.
In the Baolong Palace, above the court, Emperor Dawu Wei Yu heard Cui Ming's heavy verbal accusations, and his heart was shocked.
While he was surprised by the fact that there were rebellions and rebellions in various parts of the Great Wu Kingdom, he also began to be afraid of the power of Confucianism, but at this time, it was far from the time to deal with this matter.
And all these emotions were churning in turns, and they didn't appear on Wei Yu's face at all, he just blushed his face, looked at Cui Ming who was in tears, and said in a deep voice: "Dazhuguo, since Buddhism is rebellious, destroying the foundation of my great martial arts, and inciting rebellion, what should I do?"
The chaotic court quickly calmed down when he heard this, Cui Ming hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and said solemnly: "Buddhism is so rebellious, it should be cleared, and the ministers dare to ask Emperor Wu to issue the Golden Dragon Order: the first one, limit the number of temples in the Dawu Kingdom, the number of temples in the Dawu Kingdom is more than 1,000, only 100 are allowed to be retained, and the rest will be demolished and the monks will be dismissed!"
Cui Ming said in a firm tone: "In this way, one can use the excess temple money and grain to relieve the victims of the Dawu Kingdom, and the other is to use this money and grain as military salaries, recruit and dismiss young monks, which can fill the needs of the Dawu Empire's army, so as to suppress the rebellion, it will have a miraculous effect, and the third is to vent the people's anger, Buddhism and Taoism have suffered the people for a long time, so happy, it shows that the court thinks about the people and establishes their lives for the people!"
As soon as these words came out, the crown prince Wei Huang had not yet spoken, and the fifth and sixth princes who had originally blocked him behind him jumped out first, and the five princes pointed at Cui Ming's nose and scolded: "Old bastard, such a forcible reduction of the temple has caused at least millions of monks to be homeless, and the scale of the monks' uprising will be far greater than the current rebellion of the victims, can you afford it?"
The Sixth Prince also shouted angrily: "Pedant old thief! Such disrespect for the way of Buddhism and wanton eradication, will not it chill the hearts of countless believers who believe in Buddhism of incense? The way of Buddhism has been developed in the Dawu Kingdom for thousands of years, and its merits and blessings have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The officials behind them, all of whom were implicated in the Buddha's way, shouted one after another, kneeling and kneeling, crying and scolding, the old were about to faint, the young and strong were jumping to their feet, the majestic shouted angrily, the cowardly echoed, and there was a lot of noise and chaos.
And the officials behind Cui Ming and Yan Guizhen fought back, pointing at the Buddhist and Taoist ministers who were not pleasing to the eye in the past, attacking each other, exposing each other's old backgrounds, wantonly insulting, ugly and chaotic.
Father-in-law De kept waving a small short golden whip, and the sound of snapping was endless, with a sharp voice of "silence" and scolding, but unfortunately no one heard it.
Wei Yu looked at the chaotic court with cold eyes, and slapped the golden dragon chair fiercely, and a dragon roar resounded through the heaven and earth from the golden dragon chair, shaking the court.
Wei Yu angrily rebuked: "Look at you! What have become of you! A group of rural hyenas, arrogantly spewing feces, extremely ugly, what are you talking about high cultivation, Hongru, and Magi! You are ugly, you are a group of hyenas who don't care about biting for the sake of the flesh and blood in your mouth! You dare to be so arrogant in front of me, do you still have the royal law in your eyes? Is there still me? Is there still the Dawu royal family?!"
The crown prince Wei Huang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Please forgive your father!"
Cui Ming and Yan Guizhen, two extra people who did not kneel in the court, also knelt down one after another, asking Emperor Wu for forgiveness, and when the officials saw this, they knelt down and kowtowed, begging Emperor Wu for forgiveness.
Wei Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Cui Ming in a condensed voice: "Dazhuguo, Erzhi's play, although it has its effect, it has exceeded it. Da Zhu Guo Cui Ming got up and listened to the Golden Dragon Order!"
Cui Ming hurriedly got up and bowed, Wei Yu also stood up from the golden dragon chair, looked down at the ministers, and said solemnly: "The ministers obey the order, the first golden dragon order of the Martial Emperor of the current generation of the Dawu Kingdom: I hereby order Cui Ming of the Great Pillar Kingdom, the commander-in-chief to suppress the rebellion, and the matter of Buddhist Taoism change, first, to measure all the Buddhist temples in the Great Wu Kingdom with the household department, and reduce them to five hundred!"
"Second, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry demolished the redundant temples, and the Ministry of Industry made the best use of its materials, repaired the government palace damaged by the chaos, and built other buildings that benefited the people!
"Third, the Ministry of Household Affairs will confiscate the acres of land that have been demolished and demolish the temple, confiscate it to the local government, and give part of the money and grain to the local disaster victims, so as to achieve the effect of disaster relief! The rest of the surplus money will be filled into the state treasury, and the military department will raise the military salary and recruit monks for the temple!
He finally ordered: "Prime Minister Cui Ming's golden dragon order, quickly dispatch and command, within one month, to quell all rebellions!"
Cui Ming knelt on the ground again and shouted, "Holy Martial Wisdom!"
Yan Guizhen knelt on the ground and shouted: "Saint Wu Yingming!"
Then the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War shouted: "Shengwu is wise!"
Wei Yu looked at Wei Huang who was kneeling below, although Wei Huang kowtowed and didn't see his father's gaze, he still felt like a man's back, he gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice: "Father is wise!"
Then hundreds of officials shouted a tsunami: "Shengwu is wise!"
Wei Yu raised his head and looked at the wide but unusually empty palace gate, beyond the palace gate, there was the triple gate of the Dawu Emperor's Palace, and above the sky, there was a dark wind and clouds that were as heavy as lead.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the prince's face was extremely ugly, and he left in a hurry with people.
The three Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War followed behind Cui Ming, and Lord Shangshu Tao of the Ministry of Household twisted his white beard with his hands, bowed his head and said: "Dare to invite the Great Pillar Kingdom, there are only five hundred temples left in the entire Dawu Kingdom, and there are thousands of temples in the Great Martial Kingdom, and this time the Buddhist temples will be cut by two-thirds in one fell swoop."
He smiled flatteringly: "However, the court, the ministers and officials who are intertwined with the interests of Buddhism and Taoism will not stand idly by, and will obstruct it, the Buddhist temple has not been successfully demolished, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War cannot do anything, and quelling the rebellion may be empty talk, and then Emperor Wu will be furious, and dare to ask Dazhu Guo, how to ······ it"
Cui Ming walked in the broken Xuanming Square, the soles of his feet were gray ground, the beautiful Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism scrolls disappeared, he stared at the ground, and asked: "Tao Shangshu, you said that you want to rush to the endless hot sea in the south of the Dawu Empire, which is the nearest road?"
Shen Yuan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, had a very close relationship with the Daomen and was good at arithmetic, so he saw the opportunity to interject and said: "Dazhu Kingdom, there are countless routes from Junzhou City to Endless Atami, and the lower officials estimate it according to the geographical map of Dawu Kingdom·····
"Idiot!" shouted Sima Jian, the secretary of the military department, angrily, "It's at your feet!"
Master Tao realized: "Dazhu Kingdom, you mean, the first one we want to demolish is ······"
Cui Ming Huoran raised his head, looked back at the north, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, it is the Baoxiang Temple of the Prince!"
