Chapter 205: Who Demolished the Courtyard Wall?
Early the next morning, as if they had been connected in private, hundreds of people gathered in Jingshanfang.
Jingshanfang is in the east of Zhuque Street, enter from the Mingde Gate in the south of the city, and after four squares is Jingshanfang, it is in the middle of the Zhuque Gate and the Mingde Gate, and belongs to the rule of Wannian County in the east of the city. And the Daxingshan Temple family occupies all the territory of Jingshanfang, you can imagine how big this temple is.
In the whole Chang'an City, only the southwest corner of the city has a fight with him, and the big temple occupies the Yongyang Fang in the southwest corner of the city.
Even if it occupies a square of land, it is far from enough for the people who have gathered around today, so the entire Suzaku Street is blocked and impassable.
The people who came to watch, in addition to actively waiting for the money, there were also believers in Buddhism who came to protect the temple, but there were relatively few people in this part of the people, and they seemed to be alone.
Most of the dignitaries and nobles, the court, the civil servants and the military generals came in civilian clothes and took the car, and all of them had domestic servants to open the way, and the others could not do it, so they could only squeeze hard. Even Yongchongfang, which is adjacent to the northeast of Jingshanfang, was crowded with people, and even many people stood on the courtyard wall.
The two county magistrates of Chang'an County and Wannian County were sitting in a car together, and the officials opened the road and squeezed in. The two of them are in the government, and they are very conspicuous among the people, and everyone is urging them to give orders.
Wannian County Commander smiled, "Folks, the government is here to protect the people from being injured this time, but it is not here to target anyone." As for the rumored grievances, Daxingshan Temple said that it was a personal grudge between them and the champion Hou Xiao Horse, or wait for Xiao Horse to take the lead. Sorry, sorry. ”
After speaking, he worriedly said to the Chang'an County Order next to him: "There are so many people, order is not easy to maintain." Everyone is crowded outside the wall, and it's easy to get into trouble. This Daxingshan Temple is also really, so why not open the door and let everyone go in and talk? ”
The Chang'an County Commander glanced at the anxious people present, smiled slightly, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "Yes, yes, they don't want to think about it, the people's aspirations, can this broken wall alone stop the people?" The people were angry and tore down the wall at any time, so that it would be much more spacious. ”
Forehead......
When the surrounding people heard this, they suddenly realized, and they didn't know who shouted: "Everyone, this monk's temple has been demolished, and this broken wall has blocked everyone's foothold." ”
"Yes, it's dismantled, it's ......"
……
As if a spark ignited a gasoline barrel, just do it, the people immediately changed from watching the lively people to participants, and the wall of Jingshanfang, which is also the courtyard wall of Daxingshan Temple, was visible to the naked eye and was demolished by the people layer by layer.
Wannian County Commander pointed at Chang'an County Commander and scolded with a smile: "It's still you who are bad." The people surrounded the Daxingshan Temple for several days and did not dare to break the wall, you demolished it with a word, and then you couldn't stop it, what should the people do if they directly demolished the entire temple? ”
Chang'an County Ling spread his hands: "What can I do about the people's wishes?" I hope that Hou Ye will come over quickly. ”
In Daxingshan Temple, Xiao Yue accompanied Xiao Yu, as well as Xiao Qi, who had a broken leg, and a group of Xiao family members behind him were respectfully welcomed in by Daxingshan Temple. The abbot personally asked Xiao Yu to help settle the grievances. Xiao Yu also promised that he would definitely stand on the side of Buddhism.
"Erlang, why hasn't the rebel come yet?" Xiao Yu asked dissatisfiedly.
Xiao Yue replied in a low voice: "The eldest brother sent a message saying that it would be a little later, it seems that something happened to the little princess of Changle." The eldest brother said to go into the palace and take a look. ”
"Oh? Something happened to the little princess? What's the matter? ”
"I don't know, it shouldn't have anything to do with today's events. I guess I'm sick. ”
They don't know, where is the little princess of Changle sick? That's a meritorious service.
Xiao Rui entered the palace to see that Changle was a pretense, and the real situation was summoned by the emperor, and it took two days for the court to finally find out the clues, and Buddhism was really plotting to make money.
"Let's go, I've already changed my clothes, I'll go with you to have a look." Li Er was dressed in civilian clothes, dressed like a wealthy businessman.
Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, you summoned your ministers over, just waiting for you to go with you?" Isn't it inconvenient for you to come forward? ”
Li Er smiled, "Looking for you to come over, didn't Fang Xiang already convey it to you?" Then there's the private matter. If I don't call you over, I'm afraid that you will start long ago on the side of Daxingshan Temple. I am also very curious about what kind of means you will use to deal with Buddhism. ”
Fang Xiang played a round next to him: "The story of the thirteen stick monks saving the King of Qin has spread all over the world. If someone from Shaolin Temple comes, it is indeed inconvenient for His Majesty to show up. But now that there is no such concern, it is okay for His Majesty to watch the excitement in civilian clothes. ”
Xiao Rui suddenly realized, "I see." Or are you more kind, come forward in an official robe, and you will support you......"
"No, no, no, the horse master misunderstood, so I put it in the carriage and waited for it to change on the road."
Burst......
Xiao Rui rode a horse and walked in front of the road, and then a carriage slowly followed, since he left the imperial city and stepped on Suzaku Street, he was surrounded by the cheers of the people, and it was not lively all the way.
Finally came to Jingshanfang, Xiao Rui was dumbfounded, "This is Jingshanfang?" Is this Daheungseonji Temple? Who demolished the courtyard wall? Chang'an County? Wannian County! ”
The two county magistrates who were chatting in the cool were squeezing out a crowd to greet them, "Master Hou, the lower officials are derelict in their duties, and the people are excited, we can't stop it." ”
Seeing the two of them holding back their smiles, Xiao Rui didn't understand, these two goods are also wilted, can't you stop them? Nine times out of ten, you instigated it behind your backs.
"Forget it, it's okay to demolish it, sooner or later, it's going to be demolished. After dismantling, everyone can still stand. Go, come with me. ”
Turning over and dismounting, Xiao Rui strode in front, the gate of Daxingshan Temple had fallen to the ground, and there were monks of the whole temple sitting cross-legged on the square, old and young, all of them looked like I didn't argue, closing my eyes and chanting the scriptures.
Seeing Xiao Rui walking up with two county orders, the old abbot slowly got up and greeted him with firm steps.
"Yuan Hui, the abbot of Daxingshan Temple, has seen the champion Hou."
Xiao Rui returned the salute, "The abbot is polite." After so many days, it's time for an end. Do you still need to go through the process? ”
Abbot Yuanhui hadn't spoken yet, and the host behind him said angrily: "Xiao Rui, what is your intention in inciting the people to destroy my Buddhist holy land?" ”
After the host finished shouting, several gorgeously dressed people came out of the onlookers, some were officials, some were knighted, and some had a powerful aura, "Champion Hou, with us here today, it is impossible for you to destroy Daxingshan Temple." ”
"Your Excellency?" Seeing that the old man at the head had a tough attitude, and everyone took him as the leader, Xiao Rui asked.
"The old man represents the Li family in Longxi, and the Tianshui in the northwest is in the vein."
Xiao Rui pulled a long tone, "Oh...... It is said that another Buddhist holy place, the Zhuangyan Temple, is in Lanzhou, listening to this tone, you are invited by the Zhuangyan Temple to help the fist? ”
"Hmph, what a fist. We are all followers of the Buddha, and if you want to destroy the Buddha, you have to pass our pass. The crowd jumped out.
Xiao Rui spread his hands, "Destroy the Buddha?" Who said that the Buddha was going to be destroyed? I didn't say that. Chang'an County, what did you say? ”
The magistrate of Chang'an County hurriedly bowed his head, "The lower official doesn't dare, the lower official has never said it, and he has always been dealing with the people's disputes." ”
"Wannian County, what did you say?"
Wannian County Commander also shook his head, "The lower officials don't dare, they never said that they came here to deal with the disputes of the people." ”
Xiao Rui smacked his lips and said, "Listen, listen." We are all here to deal with the disputes of the people. Some people reported to the official, saying that the Daxingshan Temple defrauded the people of their property, and the amount was huge, affecting the people's livelihood, and the crime was monstrous. The people were furious and wanted to smash the Daxingshan Temple and regain the defrauded property. Because he was worried that people would be in danger and disability when they got together, Ben Hou deliberately brought Chang'an and Wannian counties to maintain order and uphold justice. ”
"What? You don't let this tone go? That's okay, Chang'an County, Wannian County, let's go. Wait for the people to vent their anger and send someone to collect their bodies. By the way, remember to ask their families for the funeral expenses afterwards, and the government has no money. ”
I'm ...... A group of people who came to help Daxingshan Temple were all choked and looked at Xiao Rui stupidly.
The surrounding atmosphere was a little wrong, and many people were agitated, as if they might rush up at any time, trample on this group of monks, and demolish this huge temple at the same time.
The emperor couldn't help but laugh, and smiled at Fang Xuanling next to him: "Xuanling, what kind of chess player is the most terrifying?" ”
Fang Xuanling shook his head, and the emperor quipped: "The chess player who spoils the game is the most terrifying." ”
