Liu Xun, the king of Yu, was the grandson of Taizu, and his father was the younger brother of Emperor Taizong.

In the second year of the Taiping rejuvenation of the country, Emperor Taizong divided his younger brother to Kaifeng, Henan, enshrined the king of Yu, and gave a total of 50,000 guards to protect the army to guard Henan.

In the last years of Taizong, the first king advocated Liu Ji to inherit the throne, and the emperor Taishang in order to show his merits, in the eighth year, eleventh year, and thirteenth year of Zhaowu, he issued a decree to bestow it three times, which was the family and the Wu Wangfu that guarded Jinling and the two major families of the royal family.

In the twenty-second year of Zhaowu, the king of Xianyu died, and the palace passed the decree to open the seal, so that the eldest son Liu Hun attacked the lord, and the remaining sons all had an edict, or were the princes of the clan.

And give his descendants not to be demoted to the third emperor, it can be said that the palace's kindness to the Yuwang Mansion is definitely the top existence in the clan.

And the Yuwang Mansion has not disappointed the palace over the years, whether it is taking the initiative to ask for the surrender of the soldiers and horses under his command, or what he has done in the fiefdom, he can be called a model of the clan.

But this time the matter of Buddhism surprised the emperor greatly.

Yuwangfu is not only unclear with the Shaolin Temple, the head of Buddhism, but also involved with the Wusi Tibetan National Teacher when he first arrived in the capital, is it true that the performance over the years is fake?

Originally, the crown prince Liu Hong and Jia Cong came to inquire about the situation, but they didn't want Liu Xun to be enthusiastic and calm, so they pulled the two of them to the wine table and confessed everything thoroughly.

"Eldest nephew, uncle, I am so difficult, I was almost killed in the Kaifeng fiefdom by the people of Buddhism!"

This is also an interesting person, he is a lot older, and he doesn't feel embarrassed at all to sell miserably in front of his nephews and grandchildren.

In Jia Cong's stunned gaze, he grabbed the sauce pig's trotters with one hand and gnawed on them, and pulled Liu Hong's arm with the other, and howled miserably when he took a bite of meat.

Liu Hong also had a similar expression to Jia Cong, and he wanted to break free from King Yu's hand, but unfortunately he tried several times and failed.

In the end, he could only reluctantly accept his fate and guide the topic to Kaifeng.

"Uncle Yu, tell me, what's going on? Do the people of Buddhism still dare to embarrass you? ”

Hearing the prince's inquiry, Liu Xun finally got serious.

He skillfully wiped the oil stains on his hands with the royal robe, and said very solemnly: "Uncle Zu, I have always been a good Buddha, the prince should know about this, right?" ”

Hmm, mmmm~

Whether it is Liu Hong or Jia Cong, this point is still clear.

Liu Xun was frail and sickly in his early years, and the most pediatric imperial doctor in the palace was helpless, and even asserted that it was impossible for the successor of the Yu Wangfu to live past the age of eight.

It wasn't until Kaifeng City came to a Buddhist power that he used the method of praying for the Buddha as a substitute, supplemented by miracle medicine, so that Liu Xun could grow up smoothly.

This incident not only made the Yu Wangfu very grateful to the great power of the Buddha, but also made Liu Xun, who had been closed by the ghost gate for a while, to the Buddha, reciting Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, and as a lay disciple, he entered Shaolin to practice Buddhism and became the most Buddha-worshipping prince of the clan.

As the clan guarding Kaifeng, the prince of Yuwangfu, Yaoshi, was helpless but was pulled back from the death line by Buddhism, and this matter soon spread throughout Henan.

The influence of Buddhism in Henan can be said to have increased exponentially, and for a time, the temple incense in the capitals of Henan was vigorous, which was rare.

Later, Liu Xun carved inscriptions for Shaolin, Baima and other famous temples and ancient temples many times, donated food money, and knew the heart of the Buddha.

If it has been like this, it can be regarded as a good story, but Liu Xun gradually noticed that something was wrong.

In the eighth year of Yuan You, the imperial court began to deliberately check the ownership of the world's land and property and reorganize taxes.

As a province with a large output, Henan is naturally one of the places that the imperial court pays the most attention to.

Although the Yuwang Mansion handed over the military power early, as the guard of Henan, Liu Xun had the responsibility of supervising the local area on behalf of the emperor, so he temporarily put down the mind of worshiping the Buddha and focused on the serious matter of checking the local land and taxes.

This check almost didn't scare him to death, only Dengfeng County at the foot of Song Mountain, nearly twenty percent of the fertile land was hung under the name of Shaolin Temple, the head of Buddhism.

This is not counting the temples of other large and small state capitals in Henan, and the White Horse Temple in Luoyang also has no less than Shaolin fields.

You must know that according to the rules of the dynasty, the temples and Taoist temples of Buddhism and Taoism do not need to pay field tax, and they do not need to serve forced labor.

If we add the tax-free share of the officials and gentry, the current tax silver in Henan is less than half of the tax silver paid to the capital at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Liu Xun can understand Buddhist scriptures and Sanskrit, so he is naturally not a person who does not learn and does not know how to do it.

On the contrary, this person is extremely smart, he went to the Dragon Guard Kaifeng Thousand Households, and from there he found the data on the changes in Henan Tianfu from the first year of Zhaowu to the present, and saw the mystery at a glance.

"I didn't expect that I would become an accomplice of Buddhism, since I was cured of my illness, Buddhism spread Buddhism throughout Henan to cure my incurable disease......"

To put it simply, it is the Buddhism that Liu Xun was cured of by the monk and the imperial doctors were helpless, so that the people of Henan reached a peak of awe and belief in Buddhism.

This was followed by the supreme power of Buddhism in the states and counties, and the Buddha's great wish to purify all sentient beings, making the people more loyal to Buddhism.

In addition, in the past few years, the Yellow River often flooded like a dragon's tail and flooded frequently, and the temple took this opportunity to wantonly annex the people's land.

If it were just that, during the disaster, the purchase of land in the hands of the people at the price of cabbage was basically done by officials, merchants and gentry.

But what Buddhism did in Henan is more like a demon than it.

They took away the people's land at an extremely low price, and then put on the appearance of a bodhisattva, gave up a bowl of gruel, gathered the people, and asked them to continue cultivating the land that originally belonged to the people as tenants of Buddhism.

And the tenant rent is so heavy that the local tyrants and inferior gentry have to kneel and shout their fathers.

For example, the leader of Buddhism like Shaolin has also raised a large number of warrior monks. These warrior monks have been cultivated and instilled since childhood, so that their loyalty to Buddhism is comparable to that of dead soldiers.

What sent chills down Liu Xun's spine was that most of these warrior monks came from the Shaolin tenants whom they often suppressed with sticks.

That's right, these warrior monks are basically the children of these tenants, and every time there is a natural or man-made disaster, Shaolin will exchange a bag of millet and a bag of chaff for a young child.

When Liu Xun recognized the true face of Buddhism, there was an extra letter in the study room of King Yu's mansion.

The signature of the letter made Liu Xun's hairs stand up, the White Lotus Sect.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that it would be true. But Liu Xun's sixth sense told him that this so-called White Lotus Sect was probably worshiped by Sakyamuni.

The content of the letter made Liu Xun in a dilemma......

"Believe I brought it, you can see it first."

The old eunuch who was waiting by the side took a wooden box and took out a letter from it.

Liu Hong and Jia Cong squeezed their heads and read it quickly, and the content was simple, it was a list of land properties all over Henan.

And almost all the people in these fields are the stewards of the Yuwang Mansion in the state capitals.

"Eldest nephew, you have to believe me, I really don't know about these things, and I have never had contact with the people of the White Lotus Sect."

At this time, Liu Xun was both apprehensive and bitter, he was the prince of the clan, his identity was already sensitive and abnormal, and he was unclear with the White Lotus Sect, and whoever sat on the throne had to be suspicious.

But he really doesn't know these things, the stewards on the list are all picked up by him.

Now I found out that these stewards are all members of the White Lotus Sect, and I said I don't know, who believes it?

Originally, he didn't want to take out this letter, but if he didn't take it out, he would have to act at the behest of the White Lotus Sect......

Liu Xun, as the prince of the clan and the seed of the old Liu family, was threatened to ask him to dig the corners of his own house, to be honest, he was really holding back a fire that was difficult to suppress.

Although it is likely to arouse the suspicion of the palace, he no longer has to worry about being threatened.

And whether it is Buddhism or the White Lotus Sect, engaging in this kind of selfish behavior, Liu Xun firmly believes that when facing the imperial army, he will definitely not be able to survive a round.

After thinking about it, Liu Xun decided to take a risk, and this was the case when King Yu entered Beijing to meet him.

As for the encounter with the Wusi Tibetan teacher Tali Mabala in the Asoka Temple, it was really purely accidental.

When Ali Ma Bara said the word dragon qi, Liu Xun immediately understood that this was another pit.

Instead of getting mad on the spot, Liu Xun quietly observed the expression of this Uszang Lama, wanting to find out a thing or two from it, so that he could show loyalty to the emperor in the imperial court.

It's a pity that he was very strict, and he endured nausea and chatted for a whole day, and even said a lot of disrespectful words, but he couldn't get anything useful from Alima Baba's mouth.

In the end, the two dragon guards who suddenly appeared interrupted the conversation between the two, revealing a flaw in the answer.

"Let's not talk about Henan, the two wrestlers of the Dragon Guards seem to be looking for something, and they strayed into the guest house where Alima Bara lived, and met two mysterious people, and these two people must be very important to Uszang......"

Liu Hong asked curiously, "Why did Uncle Yu say that?" ”

"Ignoring my presence, he ordered the guards to kill the two wrestlers of the dragon guards...... Eldest nephew, tell me, does it seem normal for him to shout and kill in front of me, the prince of the country? ”

I saw Liu Xun pat his thigh, his face full of regret: "It's a pity that I don't have enough manpower, and my means are not clever enough, so I haven't figured out who the people in the guest house are......"

Jia Cong looked at Cao Jiugong, who was sitting on the side and had been pouring himself a drink, and grinned and said, "I'll leave this to me...... Leave it to Cao Dudu. As long as you are in Gyeonggi, there is no one who the Dragon Guards can't find out. ”

If the Dragon Guards want to check someone in Gyeonggi, that is, he can make a detailed list of them several times a day, and it depends on whether he is willing to pay attention to it.

Cao Jiugong still didn't say much, just hugged his fists and said hello.

The three of them skipped this topic and continued to talk about Henan.

Jia Cong looked at the letter in his hand and thought about the local official documents he had seen in the cabinet before.

He suddenly had a very bold and ridiculous idea......

"Fourth brother, His Royal Highness King Yu, do you think there is such a possibility, this Henan will make trouble with the White Lotus Sect every few years, and every time there is a bandit, Buddhism will receive a large area of fertile land. Shouldn't those White Lotus Sects be pretended to be by their Buddhist people? ”
