The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 139 Compromise
"Your Majesty." After Guo Xi came in, he saluted. He was afraid now. He didn't know whether Liu Hong already knew about this matter, and whether the letter was in Liu Hong's hands.

"Let's take a look." Liu Hong threw the letter on the table directly to Guo Xi. Because it was written in bamboo slips, he hit Guo Xi directly and there was a little blood on his head, but Guo Xi didn't dare to wipe it. .

"Explain." Liu Hong said. When he saw this, he was already prepared in his heart, but he still didn't expect that it was really a high-ranking official who betrayed the entire imperial court.

"I know I'm wrong." Guo Xi didn't explain anything, and it's useless to explain now. At this time, his letter is something he simply can't be lazy about.

"You are the elder of the Three Dynasties, right?" Liu Hong asked.

"Yes. I have been highly valued by the late emperor. I have been sorry for your majesty and the late emperor since I was a small official." Guo Xi said.

"You are more than sorry for us, are you worthy of the people? Are you worthy of your official uniform? Ah? If it weren't for you, there would be a war in Yanzhou. What did you do for the so-called official position and status? Ah." Liu Hong said angrily.This is the first time he's technically angry.

Guo Xi just knelt.Has not spoken. "Do you know? If I announce this, do you know what will happen?" Liu Hong continued.

"I know that I don't ask Your Majesty to let me go, but the rest of the Guo family are innocent. I beg Your Majesty to let them go." Guo Xi said. Well, the Guo family has a century-old foundation.It will all be over.

"Get up and talk." Liu Hong said.

"I dare not." Guo Xi did not dare to stand up after hearing Liu Hong's words.Who knows what this Majesty means.

"I see that you still have some merits, and this time the rebellion ended fairly well. I will give you two ways. The first one is to publish this letter and act according to the law." Liu Hong said.

"I choose the second item." After Guo Xi heard this, he knew that Liu Hong might let him go, but he might have to pay some price, but if he really acted according to the law, the entire Guo family would be ruined.

"Okay, I will give you a chance to redeem your crimes. I need you to do something. Wei Zhongxian will bring something in." Liu Hong said.

"Promise." Wei Zhongxian brought in more than a dozen boxes, each of which was so big that it took four elite soldiers to move it.

"Open it, get up and talk." Liu Hong said to Wei Zhongxian in front and Guo Xi in the back.

"I know." Guo Xi stood up, she knew this was her last chance, and it depended on whether he was willing to do it.

"There are Buddhist beads, Buddhist scriptures, and many pictures of Buddha, as well as Taoist things. How about you, sell these things for me, but the price will be very high. Sell them to those monasteries and allow them to make IOUs." Liu Hong said.

After Guo Xi saw those things, he already had an idea in his mind. Now the temple occupies a large amount of land, which has become a serious problem for the court, but every temple claims that it is the orthodox Buddha.Who doesn't obey anyone?

These things may not seem important on the surface, but in reality?The lost Buddhist scriptures also have this kind of beads that can emit colorful colors in the sun, this kind of pictures.These are what Buddhism needs most now.

So once Liu Hong takes out those things, it will inevitably lead to the purchase of the entire Buddhism, no matter how high the money is, they will definitely buy it, so what will happen if the money is not enough?

Guo Xi suddenly knew what Liu Hong wanted to do. At this time, Liu Hong wanted to crack down on the entire Buddhism and reclaim the land. Now the land in the temple is conservatively estimated to be 300 million mu of land, and they don’t need to hand over food. It is a huge loss for the court.

And Liu Hong was about to attack them.But where did Liu Hong come from?

"After you finish this matter, I will let you return to your hometown. There is a child named Guo Jia in your clan. Let him study in the palace." Liu Hong said.

Retiring from her old age and returning to her hometown is to give Guo Xi a chance to go back with dignity. She knows that it is Liu Hong's favor to be able to resign from her old age and return to her hometown at this time.Moreover, when Guo Jia entered the palace to study, Liu Hong seemed to have cultivated Guo Jia as a talent.

"Do it or not." Liu Hong said.What he said is nonsense. Although this kind of thing may offend Buddhism, after all, he wants to protect his family now. As for Buddhism, it is nothing.

"Do it." After thinking about the possible consequences, Guo Xi still agreed. Now that the family has abandoned him, if he is giving up this opportunity, the Guo family will be finished.So he finally chose to do this.

"Su Bin, come in. The two of you are in charge of this matter, and mainly listen to Mr. Guo." Liu Hong said to Su Bin outside

Guo Xi knew Su Bin, the person in charge of the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, and controlled the entire Dahan Chamber of Commerce. The money flowing through his hands was about two-thirds of the entire Dahan Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that the position is low, but the power is great.

Su Bin is also the mainstay of Liu Hong's faction. From the very beginning, Liu Hong brought him into Luoyang. This time, Liu Hong arranged him as an assistant, which also meant to monitor Guo Xi.

Guo Xi can also understand this matter, if it is arranged by him, he must also arrange for his cronies, otherwise, don't worry, who knows if the person he arranged will be greedy for something."

"Do you know what I told you?" Liu Hong said to Guo Xi and Su Bin.Guo Xi's family background is the best candidate, and he wants to avenge the family's betrayal.This time, the aristocratic family may also be dragged into this struggle with Buddhism.

"Got it." The two said. Liu Hong had said enough. They were not fools and basically understood it.

"Okay, you guys go down and do this." Liu Hong said. "Take things with you, too."

After watching them leave, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. If he chooses Guo Xi at this time, he will also drag down the aristocratic family. After all, the Guo family is a family.

He also wanted to get some Guo family directly, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. After all, they are more useful than killing them directly. Since they are valuable, they must be used.Liu Hong thought to himself.

"Those who tell us, spread the news." Liu Hong said to Liu Lu, he wanted to spread the news, the news that some Buddhist classics were going to be sold, to the whole big man.

These things were bought from the system for [-] experience points.
