The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 153 Contract 1.
Just when Daoji thought the matter was over, ten days later, Wang Yi came to Tianji Temple with the contract and asked the temple to give him the money.

"Wang Yi agreed at the beginning. How can you do this?" At this moment, no matter how stupid Daoji was, he knew that Wang Yi had tricked him.

She knew that what Wang Yi wanted now was the monastery.Rather than the money, in other words, Wang Yi is probably just a pawn.

"Come here, protect the monastery." Daoji knew that Wang Yi must not let Wang Yi take the monastery away, otherwise, they would have no chance to turn back.Maybe I can't even meet the previous host below.

After listening to Daoji's words, many young monks came out all of a sudden. The current Tianji Temple is different from before. In the past, Tianji Temple had thousands of monks, big and small.But now they only have dozens of people.

Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when a catastrophe is imminent. Even if the husband and wife are like this, let alone a monastery?

When I learned that the temple had financial problems and there were other places to go, the first thing I did was to run away and go to other places.

Later, when the situation became more and more urgent, they also knew that the monastery had no chance to stay. They packed up their things and left. People were also sold to monasteries.

So they didn't leave, but now there are dozens of people, and some are already five or sixty years old. They also think that they can't live long, so they finally decided to die here, even if they die.

The people led by Wang Yi confronted the monk, but Wang Yi didn't dare to do anything. After all, if a few people were killed, the matter would not end well.

"Wang Yi, you are also a human being, why are you doing this?" Daoji cursed angrily, but when he said this, he also forgot that they forced people to death because of loan sharking.

"Hahaha, do you still remember that Wangjiacun borrowed 620 yuan from you, and the interest rate was rolled to [-] yuan, and in the end, because you couldn't pay it back, you forced him to death? ?” Wang Yi said coldly.

He will never forget that those monks, all those monks who claim to be empty of the four, they asked their father to pay back the money with all the land, and the result.My father was unwilling, and those monks took all the things they could take away from their homes.He also said to come back in fourteen days.

Wang Yi's father and mother had no choice but to hang themselves. This incident made Wang Yi hate religion extremely.Hate Tianji Temple.

Later, he went into exile in Jizhou, ended up in Liu's family, and became Liu Hong's confidant. After Liu Hong became the emperor, he was the first group of people who followed Liu Hong into Luoyang. It can be seen that Liu Hong trusted him.

Liu Hong was going to attack Buddhism, knowing that Wang Yi had a grudge against them, so he specially called Wang Yi over and asked Wang Yi to participate in this matter.In the past few years, perhaps Wang Yi has been waiting for this opportunity.

"What, you were that child back then?" Daoji suddenly knew who Wang Yi was. He really did that thing at the time. He was also in his 60s. Money, he did it himself.

"So you are taking revenge?" Daoji asked. If this is really revenge, then the entire Tianji Temple may be doomed.

"Yes, you go to report to the official, just say that this monk won't pay back the money, and even called people asking for money. And he yelled loudly when he went?" Wang Yi said, and at the same time arranged for one of his subordinates to go Report to the officer, at this time, he is going to make a big fuss.

"Wang Yi! You." Daoji knew that this matter of Wang Yi would completely destroy the reputation of Tianji Temple.Even if Tianji Temple can keep the temple, no one will come in the end. At that time, Tianji Temple will have no chance at all.

"Withdraw. Wait for the government to talk to you." Wang Yi said.There is Liu Hong behind him, he is not afraid, not to mention that the monk has no reason for this matter.

"Oh, wait," Daoji wanted to say something, but it was too late. This time, it was Wang Yi's revenge against Tianji Temple alone.

Even if this matter came to the government, the government did not have any objection. Could it be that the revenge of killing the father should not be avenged?At this time, filial piety is still the priority.

Your father was killed, hidden for several years, and finally revenged. At that time, everyone will admire Wang Yi, and the religious temple will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.Be cast aside.

What's more, the money was borrowed by the monastery, and the IOU was written by himself. No one forced him with a knife. The current money must be repaid.

So Daoji was a little nervous, but Wang Yi left without saying anything.

Because the whole Han Dynasty began to struggle because of Buddhism, the number of officials reported increased, and disputes continued. Chen Fan asked the court to call all the people involved in this matter to start discussions and find a suitable solution.

However, basically everyone knows that the money circulating here belongs to Liu Hong. The money is still in Liu Hong's hands now, and there is even a lot more money. It's just that the things obtained from the temple are worthless.

Liu Hong's talk now is to restrict Buddhism and deal a final blow to Buddhism.

......... dividing line
The imperial court suddenly issued an order. In order to stabilize the situation, it ordered the Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Rites, temples, and businessmen to hold talks with five parties.This was a talk arranged by the court. Liu Hong looked at the time, and when the opportunity was almost there, he began to prepare for the end.

Those who knew about this matter were silently thinking about their own conditions.Of course Buddhism hopes that they can return things and everything will be the same as before, but this is impossible.

The merchants are mainly Wang Yi and others. They are all close friends of Liu Hong, and their conditions are also Liu Hong's conditions.

As for Buddhism, monasteries and the like, they are presided over by some relatively famous monasteries.It's just that the atmosphere is not ideal for the monastery.

Although they have great conflicts, now is the life and death of Buddhism. At this time, they can only work together. This time, the reputation of Buddhism is stigmatized.But this time, it also means that Buddhism will not have too many benefits.

Because they signed the contract themselves, and everyone else is from the imperial court, the temple has no chance to take advantage of it.Therefore, it is impossible to restore everything the monastery said before.

In the end, in desperation, the contract could only be basically made according to the wishes of the court.
