Fu Youyi thinks that now that Li Xian is dead, he just seized this opportunity to support Li Jing on the throne, as long as the title has been decided, even if some people are dissatisfied, they will not be able to make any waves.

What's more, the regent is still the grandson of Emperor Gaozong, and Emperor Daxing has no heirs, so it is reasonable for the regent to inherit the imperial business, and he really can't think of any reason to refuse!

"I am shallow in virtue, I am really not suitable to ascend to the throne, you Aiqing should be among the saint's close relatives and kings, and choose the virtuous person to be the son of heaven!"

Li Jing didn't agree when he heard this, and now not long after Li Xiangang was poisoned, he immediately ascended the throne and became the emperor, is there a suspicion of not recruiting himself.

If you let someone with a heart guide you, so it causes chaos in the world, it will be more than worth the loss, it is better to find a puppet first, let him be the emperor first, and then pass on the throne to himself, so that he can be justified.

Doing so can also reduce his suspicions, and then guide the direction of public opinion, which can quickly clear all the suspicions on him.

He Li Jing is not afraid of troublesome people, but he will never make trouble, and try to avoid the trouble that can be avoided!

"Regent, you are the emperor, this is the meaning of God and all the people in the world, and please don't shirk the regent, now only you can be the throne, even if someone else agrees, all the people in the world and God will not agree!"

Fu Youyi paid a big salute and asked Li Jing to become the emperor immediately and change the title of emperor!

"Aiqing's kindness, I understand it! But I am really shallow in virtue, I am really not suitable to inherit the imperial industry, my father is old and frail, and it is difficult to inherit the imperial industry, it is better to choose one of my uncles and brothers who has both ability and political integrity, and inherit the unification!"

Li Jing refused again and gave a hint that one of his uncles and cousins would come out to inherit the throne.

Forget about his father and his own brothers, if you don't want them to get involved, the others don't care!

"The regent, the minister has no virtue and no talent, and no one has the blessing of the king, and the minister recommends the eighth brother Li Dan to inherit the unification!"

Li Shangjin hurriedly came out of the queue and recommended Li Dan to Li Jing, he understood that the throne of the Tang Dynasty was not so easy to do, and not only was it not beneficial to be this emperor, but he also had to be at the mercy, anyway, Li Dan had been a puppet emperor at the beginning, and now it is just for him to return to his old business, and no one is more suitable than Li Dan.

"Why does my uncle have to be arrogant and say that he is so unbearable?"

Li Jing said with a smile.

"What the minister said is true, there is absolutely no half a lie, I am not as good as your brothers in terms of virtue and talent, and I am not as good as my eighth brother Li Dan in terms of ability, and the minister sincerely recommends the king to inherit the emperor's business!"

Li Shangjin saluted.

"What do you think?"

Li Jing looked at everyone and asked.

"Weichen seconded!"

Fan Lubing saluted with his hands and agreed with Li Shangjin's suggestion.

"The ministers seconded it!"

Everyone else has any opinions, and whoever comes to power now is the same, anyway, the regent is in charge of the government.

"Since you Aiqing have no objections, then immediately send someone to welcome Prime Minister Wang into Beijing to take the throne!"

Li Jing sent someone to Xiangzhou to pick up Li Dan back, and everyone saw that the dust had settled and left.

In order to better guide the trend of public opinion, it was decided to set up a new department to be responsible for propaganda work and guide the direction of discussion among the people.

As a newly established organization, at the beginning of its establishment, everything was simple, there was no independent office location of its own, and all personnel worked in the Chongwen Museum.

The Propaganda Bureau set up an order, from the seventh grade, by the Chongwen Pavilion straight bachelor Zhou Jie for the propaganda order, two people, from the eighth grade, there are two scribes, four scribes, eight people each.

Although everything is simple, and there is not even a place to work independently, the power of this new institution is amazing!

With Li Jing's permission, it can use all its strength, and most importantly, it directly obeys Li Jing's orders, is directly responsible to Li Jing, and can directly meet Li Jing, and no one can stop it.

Just by virtue of this, many people are jealous.

Everyone knows what it means to be able to meet Li Jing directly and get closer to Li Jing?

As a result, many people who thought they were talented began to actively have a good relationship with Zhou Jie, hoping to say a few good words for them in front of Li Jing in the future!

The first task of the establishment of the Propaganda Bureau is to guide the trend of public opinion in Chang'an, and to discuss whether Li Jing killed the king, and after changing Cheng Wei, he was unwilling to be deposed, held a grudge, and united with outsiders to poison his husband.

With the efforts of the Propaganda Bureau, the gossip and discussion in Chang'an City gradually changed the direction of the wind under the intervention of man.

The discussion was no longer about Li Jing's murder of the king, but instead turned to condemning Webster's disobedience to women's morals after the abolition.

Everyone went from unbelief to scolding Merriam-Webster.

Because, under the artificial guidance, coupled with the announcement of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, most of the people who eat melons have to believe in Webster's viciousness, and they dare to poison their husbands.

Even if some people raise doubts, in the tide of public opinion, this little splash can't set off any waves at all, and there is no proof of death, and no one will believe the voice of doubt.

With the intensification of the Propaganda Bureau, Chang'an City no longer questioned Li Jing's voice, but praised Li Jing for his high style!

……

"Don't you have an answer from the Prison Division?"

Li Jing felt that the efficiency of the Criminal Prison Department was too low, and it took six hours for the poisoner to be sent to the Criminal Prison Division, and there was no news so far.

According to his understanding, Zhou Xing's cool officials are the most capable of torturing people, and the methods of torture are endless, and if anyone goes in, they will have to peel off the skin at the least.

"Not yet! Or the old slave will urge it himself!"

Ximen Yang Road.

"Then you go and see, what the hell is the Prison Department doing? Let them pry open the prisoner's mouth as soon as possible, and I want to know the answer, who is behind it. ”

Li Jing said.

"Whoa!"

Ximen Yang received the order, and as soon as he walked out of the regent palace, he bumped into Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, who were running in a hurry.

"I said, two, why are you only here now, the regent is already impatient to wait, and sent me to look for you, did the prisoner speak, who instructed him to do this?"

Ximen Yang stopped them and asked.

Seeing that it was the chief eunuch beside Li Jing who stopped them, the two of them suddenly lost their temper and could only accompany their smiling faces.

"Steward, whoever enters my prison department has no mouth that cannot be pried, and as soon as the two of us ask the truth, they immediately come to meet the regent, and ask the chief steward to inform me."

Zhou Xing accompanied the smiling face and quietly stuffed some broken silver into Ximenyang.

Ximen Yang suddenly smiled, and secretly said sensible in his heart.

"What are you doing in a daze? Come with me to see the Regent, but don't keep the Regent waiting!"

Ximen Yang greeted him with a smile, turned around and entered, and Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen followed Ximen Yang into the Regent's Mansion.

"Regent, Zhou Xing, the director of the Criminal Prison Division, and the deputy director Lai Junchen have come to meet you!"

After Ximen Yang finished speaking, Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen immediately stepped forward and saluted with their hands crossed: "See the regent!"

"No rudeness! How's the case going? Can you make it clear who instigated it? ”

Li Jing said.

"Back to the regent, it was Hu Seng Huifan who sent him to kill the emperor, just to blame the regent."

Zhou Xing said that as long as he enters the Criminal Prison Department and tortures the prisoner, even if it is a pig, he teaches it to speak human words, and no one can stand the torture tools of the Criminal Prison Division.

Not to mention the mastermind behind the confession, even if the eighteenth generation of ancestors will give you a clear and clear trial!

"What? Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”

Li Jing was surprised, he didn't have any grudges against Hu Seng Huifan, he was a monk outsider, why did he poison Li Xian, why did he blame him?

A monk who secretly instructed others to poison the emperor is not afraid that he will go to hell and suffer in the future?

Most importantly, why did Hui Fan frame him?

"It's true, judging from the minister's years of experience in judging cases, whether the prisoner is lying or not, the minister can see at a glance, and there will be absolutely no mistake, it is the instigation of Hu Seng Huifan."

"The reason why Hui Fan did this is because of the ban on Buddhism issued by the Prince Regent, Hui Fan has a grudge, so he made this decision, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to unite Princess Taiping and Prime Minister Li Dan to raise troops together against the Regent!"

Lai Junchen said, originally monks could be exempted from taxes and forced labor, but later continued to grow and develop, harming the interests of the people of the world, and did not abide by the rules and precepts, and did some things that hurt morals and customs.

Not only did they occupy the land, but they also raised and adopted slaves and maids for their pleasure, not only did they not have to pay taxes or serve servants, but they also had a lot of land, a lot of slaves and maids to serve, and their lives were very nourishing, not much worse than the emperor.

Li Jing's campaign to exterminate Buddha has affected the interests of these bald heads, can people not be anxious with you?

Li Jing was furious when he heard this, because of the signing and issuance of the ban on Buddhism, this Hu monk Huifan dared to commit the act of killing the king!

Even he didn't dare to kill the king, but what kind of thing are you, Hu Seng, who dare to do such a rebellious thing?

It's not a thing!

originally thought that these bald heads would be greedy for yellow and white things, and they would not pay taxes, but they didn't expect to dare to kill the king?

It seems that it is time to speed up the operation to destroy the Buddha, otherwise, who knows what else these demons in human skin can do!

Originally, Li Jing planned to solve this matter slowly, first forbidding others to become monks at will, and those who privately attracted people were sentenced to death, requiring the monastery to pay taxes.

It is planned to release the beloved people who are serving as envoys of the monasteries next year, confiscate the property little by little, and demolish the temples built beyond the standard.

The Shamen monasteries are extremely luxurious, they can be compared to the imperial palace, these must be demolished, and no monastery is forbidden, exceeding the standard!

Hui Fan's behavior completely angered Li Jing, and in the matter of destroying the Buddha, Li Jing did not plan to continue to boil frogs in warm water, but instead solved it by forceful means.

The entire economic system of the monasteries was destroyed, and the monasteries were forbidden to engage in business, loans, etc., and a large amount of money obtained from this campaign was transferred to the national treasury.

In particular, foreign monks have made strict regulations to manage Hu monks.
