Many of the people in the hall are high-ranking monks with profound Buddhism, and there is no expression on their faces when they hear Zhu Yunxi's words, but a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes, and they feel that this move is too simple.

However, there are still a lot of people who are sweating in their heads, and they are moving their butts restlessly, while looking left and right in a panic. However, Zhu Yunxi had already considered this, and directly asked Jinyiwei to carry a big knife on the side as an invigilator.

One for each person, whoever dares to look at it will be cut!

After Zhu Yunxi announced the start of the exam, everyone worked hard to write, just writing, some people's pen speed slowed down for a moment, and after a while, some people stopped writing directly, frowning and thinking about it.

Zhang Sloppy did not participate in this exam, but he sent Yu Lianzhou, a great disciple of Wudang Mountain, to fight for him.

Yu Lianzhou borrowed Zhang Sloppy's light, and he had already served as the official of the Imperial Court Daolu Division, and he didn't have to take this kind of exam. But he learned the scope of the exam in advance at the master's place, and when he thought of the few unsuccessful juniors in his family, he could only join the war by himself.

Zhang Yuchu also looked at the inside of his clothes from time to time, and successfully wrote three Taoist scriptures silently.

Jin Yiwei, who was standing next to Zhang Yuchu, watched Zhang Yuchu's non-stop small movements, but he didn't see it.

After all, the boss said that this person had spent money, so he couldn't embarrass him.

Relatively speaking, there is no such treatment on the monk's side, and he can only write silently from memory.

Many people come across a forgotten sentence and write a blank line first, and then write what they can remember.

Three hours later, Zhu Yunxi forcibly collected the scroll.

He was too lazy to do the work of grading papers, so he directly recruited a group of students from Jinling Royal University and asked them to judge the papers against Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures.

All the mistakes are marked, the blank areas are filled with red, and then the statistics are summarized and counted.

The work of grading the papers is much faster than asking them to write silently, and it will be done in less than an hour.

Zhu Yunxi flipped through the test papers handed over by the students, and found that in this random test, except for Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain, there were many errors and omissions in other Taoist and Buddhist gates.

Some of these lesser-known Buddhist temple directors could not even write a complete scripture silently, but only memorized a few familiar scriptures.

For example, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and all possible methods are like dream bubbles, such as dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such.

A monk of this level is obviously enough to deal with the daily work of fooling people, but in the face of an examiner like Zhu Yunxi, he must be in a hurry.

After this test, whether it is this kind of temple in the four famous mountains of Buddhism, or the abbot of some small temples and small households, it has stopped.

Because even the abbot of Xiantong Temple has been stuck several times, and there are a few words that are not accurate, and I feel that I should have written it wrong.

As for the abbots of other monasteries, there are even more mistakes, and it is the norm to drop one or two sentences, and the whole paragraph cannot be written.

"Tut-tut......

"Let Lone tell you what to order?"

"Are you also worthy of being enlightened monks?"

"The Buddha left you so many scriptures in total, and you couldn't even memorize them word for word, and you still have the face to say that you are one of the Three Jewels of Buddhism."

When the monks heard this, they all bowed their heads in shame.

"Your Highness forgives your sins..."

After Zhu Yunxi counted the monks, he set his eyes on the group of Taoist priests.

Because of Zhang's sloppiness, Daomen has been very arrogant in the past two years, and has always regarded himself as the emperor's grandson.

In their minds, the imperial grandson can recognize Zhang Sloppy as a teacher, and he must be close to them. However, as soon as Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, he shattered their illusions.

"You bulls, too......

"It's so unassuming, no wonder Yuan Shizu forced the Daomen to apologize to the Buddhism back then, and forced the Taoist priest to lose his hair and shave his head!"

"It's been a hundred years, and you haven't grown at all."

"The Tao Te Ching is only 5,000 words in total, how many mistakes have you made in writing!"

When the Taoist priests heard Zhu Yunxi say this, they were also ashamed

Bow your head.

"Your Highness forgives your sins, and you are ashamed of the Taoist patriarch and the three Qings......

Zhu Yunxi finished counting these scumbags, and then set his eyes on Zhang Yuchu and Yu Lianzhou.

"Finally, there are two more who satisfy Lonely, and I feel worthy of the status of a high-ranking person."

"Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhang Yuchu Heavenly Master is worthy of a thousand-year-old inheritance, Daomen Ancestral Court, there is not a single word wrong or missing in the three scriptures!"

"Although Yu Lianzhou, the head of Wudang, is a small sect, he is diligent in studying scriptures, and his mastery of scriptures is also very proficient, and he can be tied for first place with Zhang Tianshi!"

"As for the Buddha Gate......

Zhu Yunxi set his eyes on Yuan Jue and Hui Ming.

"Yuanjue, your Xiantong Temple is worthy of the title of the emperor's grandfather, although you have a few mistakes and omissions, but they are all minor problems, they belong to the lack of pen in the words, and you will not be punished by loneliness!"

As soon as Yuanjue heard this, how could he still be arrogant just now, and hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

"Poor monk Xie Huang's grandson praises!"

"The poor monk should return to the mountain this time to practice penance behind closed doors and study the scriptures, so as to live up to His Royal Highness......

Zhu Yunxi nodded towards Yuanjue, and then looked at Huiming on the side.

"Huiming, you can be regarded as winning glory for your Puji Temple, but you only got a few words wrong......

When Huiming heard this, he also bowed down and bowed down like Senior Brother Yuanjue.

"Poor monk Xie His Royal Highness praises!"

In fact, these two people are a little wronged, the Buddhist scriptures have been spread for a long time, and the versions of each dynasty are different, and the standard version that Zhu Yunxi gave to the students was only published in recent years, and the version they learned in the early years was not the same version at all.

Therefore, some of the words in it are indeed different, and some of them belong to the category of fake words.

But Zhu Yunxi didn't want them to have a good time, if there are loopholes, they will catch loopholes, and if there are no loopholes, they will also catch them. After Zhu Yunxi pinched the two Buddhist bosses, he was not so polite to others.

"As for you, you are also worthy of being called Buddhist disciples?"

"Yuanjue, Huiming, you two send down the rolls that belong to your Buddha Sect, and let them see for themselves how long they have been wrong!

"Zhang Yuchu, Yu Lianzhou, the Daomen belongs to the two of you......

After the four bigwigs of Buddhism and Taoism stepped forward to take the scroll and sent it down, all the monks and Taoists below were silent.

Some of the whole paragraphs could not be written silently, and they were sweating on their foreheads, and they stood in place with a weak face.

Because just now, the emperor's grandson said first, and everything that could not be written silently was banned on the spot, and the property was confiscated! Zhu Yunxi saw that everyone had got their own papers, so he spoke leisurely.

"Everyone, Lone is not a person who destroys Buddhas and destroys the Tao."

"In fact, Lone also highly respects and respects Buddhism and Taoism."

"However, your performance has disappointed Lonely."

"Lone had said before, if he couldn't even write the three scriptures silently, Lone would get rid of these scum who were swaggering and deceiving in the name of Buddhism and Taoism for the Buddha and Sanqing."

"Do you still have any objections?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi said this, there was a silence below.

Silent?

This is not what Zhu Yunxi wants, since they don't want to offend people, then he can only name them.

"Yuanjue, Huiming, you two talk about it, you two are doing the right thing to assess the Buddha, supervise the world's Buddhism, and eliminate the black sheep among them?"

Yuan Jue and Hui Ming's hearts sank when they heard this, this is to roast them on the fire.

However, what made the two even more depressed was that this was the emperor's grandson standing righteously!

Even if the emperor's grandson gets rid of their degree and bans their sect, the people of the world will only blame them for not being knowledgeable and stealing their fame.

Therefore, as soon as the two were slightly entangled, they hurriedly stepped forward and sang praises.

"Your Highness Shengming!"

"It is only fitting that His Highness supervises the temples of the world for the Buddha, and those who do not study the Dharma should be eliminated!"

"Since the two masters have said so, come here, and will be assessed this time

Those who do not meet the requirements will be dragged down, their ordination will be cancelled, their sects will be banned, all the monks under their names will be forcibly returned to the laity, and all the temple property will be confiscated!"

"No!"

The list of unqualified people has long been sorted out, Zhu Yunqiang's definition of qualification is not strict, and he has let go of the mistakes and omissions in the words, and only a large number of blank unlearned and unskilled people have been judged unqualified by him.

As the Jinyi guard took people out, the monk phalanx in the main hall suddenly decreased by more than half, and the old faces of the two masters, Yuan Jue and Huiming, twitched.

When the Daomen side was gloating, Zhu Yunxi spoke again.

"Lone from the Sanqing Sect, I had no intention of going against my fellow disciples, but you are so angry!"

"Dao Ancestor, his old man, left a 5,000-word Tao Te Ching, and you can't even memorize it, do you still have the face to wear this Taoist robe?"

"Come on, rip off the robes of those who are unqualified this time, and then remove them from the Daolu Division, ban their sects, and confiscate all the property of their sects!"

"No!"

After the brocade guards brought half of the people down the door, the hall suddenly became empty.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the group of monks and Taoists standing down again, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about how much tax we pay to the court each year, shall we?"

Zhu Yunxi thought that after the beating just now, the monks and Taoists present would wake up and take the initiative to pay taxes to the imperial court.

Na Cheng thought that he had talked about this, but this group of people still pretended to be dead with him.

Only Zhang Yuchu of Longhu Mountain said that he was willing to offer half of the land, and the remaining mountains and forests and tea plantations were also willing to pay taxes in accordance with the policy of the imperial court.

In addition, both Buddhism and Taoism are pretending to be dead with Zhu Yunxi.

"Everyone, silence is not the way to go."

"Yuanjue, do you think it's okay to pay in two?"

"Your Highness, the poor monk agreed to pay taxes, but twenty percent is too much...... The two Narita taxes are unprecedented in previous dynasties......

"Yuanjue, there is no precedent for all dynasties to collect the poll tax and all kinds of harsh taxes into the fields together."

"Combining the land tax with other miscellaneous taxes, and only collecting 20%, it's not too much, right?"

Yuan Jue lowered his head when he heard this, and muttered.

"Your Highness, the monks of the monasteries of all dynasties did not have the head tax and miscellaneous taxes, and most of the field taxes were exempted......

"Uh......"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi heard this, he directly greeted the emperors of all dynasties. Even for the superstitious grandfather of the emperor, he has a lot of complaints.

The reason why Yuanjue dared to scare himself like this was because the emperor's grandfather gave them the name of the temple.

As for the temple where the emperor's grandfather was a monk in his early years, Zhu Yunxi didn't even dare to provoke him, and directly ignored the other party.

"Master Yuanjue, the times are developing, and the times are progressing. Now it's not the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, it's my Ming world, and it should follow the rules of my Ming Dynasty!"

Yuan Jue is also a hard bone, and when he saw Zhu Yunxi say this, he directly put it in a bad position.

"Since His Highness said so, the poor monk has nothing to say, only a death Mingzhi!"

"From this day onwards, the poor monks will go on a hunger strike!"

Zhu Yunxi was immediately shocked when he heard this.

"You threaten Lone?"

However, as soon as Zhu Yunxi's words fell, the other abbots in the hall stood up in unison.

"Poor monks and others are also willing to die!"

"From this day forward, we will not eat until His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun takes back his order..."

"You...... You ......."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the bald donkeys angrily, and the word "kill" came to his lips several times, but he swallowed them back alive.

When Zhu Yunxi was forced into the palace by a group of monks, Lao Zhu, who was in the Forbidden City, was not idle, and kept sending people to observe the movements here.

"What, those monks are on hunger strike?"

"Is the Zhiqing Zen Master of Huangjue Temple also among them?"

"Back to Your Majesty,

Zen Master Zhiqing is naturally in the ranks, and he is standing quite far ahead!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he anxiously circled on the ground.

"This rebel grandson, everything is urgent, this kind of thing should be done slowly, how can it be harvested as soon as it comes up!"

In fact, Lao Zhu has been staring at the movements of the eldest grandson, and he is clear about what the eldest grandson wants to do to the monk.

The reason why he has not shown up is actually to protect his eldest grandson. Once things get out of trouble, he, the old emperor, still has room to turn around, and he can appease the hearts of the eldest grandson.

At this time, Lao Zhu was hesitating whether to settle the matter for his eldest grandson.

As long as he sets a tax rate of 10%, he believes that this group of monks will sell him this face!

After all, a lot of the land in these monasteries was given by him, the emperor, if not by him, but by the emperor of him.

Lao Zhu hesitated again and again, and then he said to Qin De on the side.

"Prepare for the ...... No, no, just prepare the car, you don't have to make too much noise!"

"No!"

Not long after, Lao Zhu came to the North Palace in an inconspicuous carriage. Since the completion of the North Palace, Lao Zhu came over for the first time.

He had only heard from his subordinates that Beigong was desolate and shabby, and he always had some suspicions in his heart. However, when he saw it today, he was suddenly shocked by the simplicity of the North Palace.

The huge North Palace didn't even have a palace wall, but just dug a ditch in the ground. The buildings are all gray, not to mention the carved beams and paintings, and you can't even see a single colored paint!

"Why is our eldest grandson so himself!"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he hurriedly gave a sycophant, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve cooperatively.

"Emperor, His Royal Highness said that Da Ming is still very poor, and he, who is the emperor's grandson, must lead by example, and save a little if he can. He saved a tael of silver, and the people of the Ming Dynasty could eat an extra bite of meat and an extra piece of clothing......

Lao Zhu is the most distressed person for his children and grandchildren, for fear that his children and grandchildren will not have enough to eat. Now when he heard Qin Deshun's words, he was moved to tears on the spot.

"It's hard for our eldest grandson, woo woo woo ......"

Lao Zhu was sad for a while, and just as he was about to enter the North Palace, he saw a brocade guard riding a fast horse running over.

Since Lao Zhu was riding in an ordinary carriage and there were not many guards with him, Jinyiwei not only didn't recognize him, but also yelled at him.

"Brothers, hurry up and inform His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, and say that we are back, and we can use the knife against those bald donkeys and Taoist priests......

Lao Zhu was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and secretly said that the rebel grandson actually has a backhand?

It's just that what is this back hand, why doesn't he, the emperor, know?

"Qin Deshun, do you know what the rebel grandson has?"

Qin Deshun just heard Jinyiwei's words, and secretly said that it was not good, and when he heard Lao Zhu ask this, he stumbled on the spot.

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid has heard a little, but I don't know if it's true or not......

"Say!"

"It is said that His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince has already sent people to various temples to investigate, and the Jinyi guard who rode a horse just now should be the person who was ordered to investigate......
