Chapter 1301: The Great Purge

Wu Nian rarely summons ministers at night.

The court officials, no matter what they were doing, even if they were holding their wives and concubines, did not dare to slack off, and immediately asked people to bring court clothes to wear, or take a sedan chair, or take a carriage, to the palace.

The palace gate was open, and there were eunuchs waiting for a long time.

After the officials entered the palace, they first went to the Wenhua Hall to gather, and when everyone arrived, they were led by the eunuchs and escorted by the inner guards to the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty."

After entering the Qianqing Palace, Liu Zhixing led the ministers to salute Wu Nian together.

Wu Nian waved his hand to get them up, and then told the ministers in a deep voice about the things they had encountered in the past few days and the information that the Imperial City Division had heard.

Most of the ministers of the original Han Dynasty who entered the customs with Wu Nian were not surprised. When he was in Liaodong, the problem of Buddhism and Taoism was knocked by Wu Nian.

Now the temples and Taoist temples in Liaodong can be kept to themselves.

During this time, a small number of high-ranking officials in the customs who were promoted showed surprise.

In fact, many people in Chu also know the problem of Xiangguo Temple. But to know is to know, no one knows that it is so serious.

There are so many monks who do not produce and serve the Buddha, and the daily food and clothing are amazing.

The annual loss to the state of such a large amount of land that does not have to pay taxes is huge.

Not to mention some grey business.

Gray business breeds dark elements.

ruffians, usurers, and prostitutes.

Liu Zhixing dealt with the problems of merchants from all over the world during this time, and it was the time when he was murderous, so he stood up without saying a word, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how to deal with Xiangguo Temple?" ”

Wu Nian said: "Cut the fields. The temples and Taoist temples of the entire Han Dynasty are divided into grades according to their size. Leave part of the land for monks and Taoist priests to eat. ”

"Aren't they all practitioners? It is enough to meet the needs of the individual, what do you want so many fields to do. If you are greedy and want more land, then you are not a practitioner. ”

"Those temples and Taoist temples dare to exceed the quota of acres given by the imperial court. All the higher-ups were executed. ”

"It's the same as Tian Mu. Monks and Taoist priests who are naturalized according to temples and Taoist temples are required to be numbered according to their ranks. Those who exceed it will be returned to the customs, and they will be sent to the Sanhan region to reclaim the frontier. ”

"Confiscated acres of land, dispose of them as appropriate."

"The confiscated property is directly incorporated into the state treasury."

"Crack down on those monks and Taoist priests who do filthy business. Killed for felony crimes, exiled for misdemeanors. ”

"Strictly control the monks. Whoever marries a monk, or raises an outer chamber. All were put to death. ”

"For those women who are forced to become prostitutes, they should be properly settled."

"That's what the widow thinks of at the moment. You go down and discuss it and refine your plan. ”

"Yes." Liu Zhixing wrote them down one by one and led the ministers to bend down in response. Immediately, they left the Qianqing Palace together and went to the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Wenhua Hall to discuss.

"Whew." Wu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the throne, and was in a much better mood.

It's disgusting.

After a while, Wu Nian's stomach screamed, and the little pastries and dried meat he ate were not enough at all. He asked the eunuch to go to the imperial dining room and brought in the dishes.

The same old way.

Meat, eggs, and rice are enough.

Don't seek refinement.

..........

Next. The imperial court went all out.

The turmoil of profiteers has not stopped, and the imperial court has used Taoist temples and temples to open the knife, which has really caused a lot of turmoil.

But it didn't cause a big mess.

The Han soldiers were strong.

The Han Emperor is heroic.

Do monks and Taoists still dare to rebel?

Things are also going well. Mainly this place in China, it does not raise idle gods.

Many European kings were controlled by religion.

But this place in China.

If the child is disobedient, he will have to be spanked.

In history, the destruction of the Buddha has happened four times.

Three martial arts and one sect.

It was the expansion of the temples that led to the embezzlement of state finances. Then kill the monks and destroy the Buddha statues.

It has been around since ancient times.

The experience of the previous dynasty has been handed down, and Liu Zhixing and others have done things very smoothly and resolutely.

Some monks and Taoists were killed, and some monks and Taoists were assigned to the three Hans.

Countless acres of land were either incorporated into the imperial village or handed over to the imperial court for sale.

Countless gold, silver, and copper coins flowed into the treasury. To prevent theft. A lot of gold and silver are cast into spherical shapes, which are large and heavy, and are not easy to carry.

When these big gold balls and big silver balls were transported into the capital, the scene was very spectacular.

For profiteers.

Most of the government and the opposition are supportive.

But on the matter of the temple, the government and the opposition have two voices. One thinks it's due, and the other thinks it's too much.

The emperor is managing reality.

Call the king of men.

Religion governs faith.

It's called the Dharma King.

At all times, there will be people who support His Holiness. Wu Nian was very contemptuous of the opposition of the government and the opposition, and went his own way.

Morning.

In an alley in the west of the capital, there are a large number of catchers and servants who drain the water around the alley. Soon after, many men and women were arrested.

Some of these people are engaged in half-open business, and some are controlling young girls to sing.

In the background are some of the monks of the Great Xiangguo Temple.

Little Pink and the old man lived here.

Day. met Wang Jiadong, a big businessman in Tianjin, Wang Million was also very tough, and the old man who made Wang Jiadong retreat in spite of difficulties.

Now it was like a dog, shackled, and walked forward with a blank and frightened face amid the shouts of the catcher.

As for the little peach, these singers or prostitutes.

The arresters were polite to them, got a carriage for them to get on, and drove them to the yamen of the criminal department.

Little Pink was the top of the bunch, and now she was full of embarrassment, huddled in the carriage with the women, frightened and dazed.

What happened.

came to the back of the yamen of the criminal department.

The man was taken away for interrogation. The woman was taken to a house. An official from the Criminal Department walked in and said to the women, "Many of you should know who controls you. ”

"The Son of Heaven is aware and suppresses the Buddha's way in the world."

"Whether you are willing to sell yourself or forced into prostitution. Now there are two paths. ”

"One. Willing to be good. The government will rearrange your household registration and find a suitable man to marry. ”

"II. You can fend for yourselves. ”

They are different from palace maids, whether they are forced to become prostitutes or not, they can't be sent to their families. When they go back, the fingers of the neighbors can also tell them to die.

In this era, once a woman is left in the dust, the end is extremely miserable.

Under the strong force of the officials of the Criminal Department, soon these women all made decisions, and most of them were willing to be good. A small number of them are self-employed.

Among the temples and Taoist temples in Hebei, Xiangguo Temple was the first to be knocked down.

When other places were still in full swing to attack temples and Taoist temples, the various properties of Xiangguo Temple were sorted out by the imperial court in a short time.

Some of the great monks were killed, some were shackled, and they went to the Three Hans in the bitter cold land.

And the property and acres of land counted by Xiangguo Temple really shocked many people in the imperial court.
