[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

Chapter 149 Buddhism is originally a pure place, and there is nothing to do to attract dust

Except for Ziyun Nunnery and Puji Temple, which were deliberately pulled out, similar supernatural events began to appear in various temples and nunneries all over Daqi.Some temples are not rotten at all, but there are some monks and nuns who violated the precepts in the temple. These people's faces are also marked with labels such as "Lust Caution", "Greedy Precept" and "Killing Precept". Start internal investigation and rectification, send serious ones to the government, or be expelled from the temple gate, and those who are less serious or just go astray will be handed over to the Discipline Academy for punishment. Daily stick punishment and dirty work are waiting for them.

Outsiders have also figured out a way to distinguish loyalty and adultery. As long as there is no change in Taiping, it means that he is truly an eminent monk who has no desires, no desires, one heart for Buddha, and a compassionate heart;And with the passage of time, everyone has also summed up a set of classification standards for the degree of evil. Generally, those who commit the crime of killing have red marks on their heads, the ring of lust is purple, and the ring of greed is yellow... And this mark will According to the number of killings and the degree of brutality, there are different shades of color. For example, the color of black and red is black and red for the murderous people who have committed countless lives. red.

Once this level is divided, even if you are eloquent and eloquent, you will never be able to explain clearly.If you repent earlier and confess the evil things you have done clearly, you can still give it a good time; if you stubbornly resist and do not repent, you will naturally have no good ending except for various punishments.

The most common color among them is light yellow. This kind of people basically enter the temple gate for the purpose of having a refuge, coveting comfort and enjoyment, and not liking to work. They don’t really want to practice Buddhism and Zen, so naturally they can’t escape the desires of the world. .But he is not a person who is greedy and commits crimes, so he is labeled as a desire.

With typical examples, the emperor naturally had sufficient and reasonable reasons to carry out a major cleansing of Buddhism for the sake of civilian anger.Ignoring all kinds of seemingly reasonable reasons for obstruction by certain interest-related groups, the emperor made a final decision and ordered King Yong to personally lead people to conduct a thorough investigation of the two famous temples, Ziyun Temple and Puji Temple. Evil Ni.

If these two most notorious temples are managed well, the other Buddhist temples in the future will naturally not need to be checked one by one by King Yong himself, otherwise he may not be able to check all the old and dead by himself.At that time, it is only necessary to let the prefects of various places be responsible for the inventory of the temples within their jurisdiction. The temples should be closed, the temple fields should be taken back, the monks should be reduced, the rice warehouses and granaries should be confiscated... and then Send a few powerful imperial envoys to inspect and inspect all over the country to see if there is any place that is falsifying for personal gain and taking advantage of the opportunity. This matter is almost over, and the treasury should be much richer.

The fourth girl's technique of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot is used well and wonderfully, and people can't help but applaud in admiration.In this way, no one in charge of the officials dares to show favoritism or cheat. You can't just pretend that you are blind when you put on that bright label. You have to give everyone an explanation before you can understand it.What a scourge, awesome, too awesome, the emperor had a majestic and furious look on his face, his heart was already happy, his face almost twitched because he was too relieved, but the courtiers mistakenly thought that the emperor was trying hard Suppressing their anger, each of them dared not say another word like a quail, for fear that the unknown fire would burn on themselves.

After accepting such an errand, everyone expressed sympathy to King Yong. As for the sympathy, most of them were gloating. Anyway, except for the Thirteenth Lord who showed a little worried look, the rest of the princes mostly watched the excitement. This is not easy to handle. .It's a matter of doing well and doing badly, but if you only punish the Buddhist disciples in front of the scene, and don't pursue the behind-the-scenes funders or make a superficial effort, the emperor may not be satisfied.And it is likely to attract the resentment of the stakeholders behind the scenes. After all, such a large piece of fat was wiped out by the fourth child.Maybe the fourth brother will lose a large number of supporters overtly and secretly. Before the fight, he will be unpopular first. Do you think it is a big loss?

If it is done ruthlessly, and a lot of things are involved, some interest groups will fall apart, and it will offend people even more, then the fourth brother's reputation for being cold-faced and ruthless will be confirmed even more.If you do this deeply and shallowly, you will lose a large number of supporters in the court, and you will be farther away from the big position. This job is not cost-effective, not cost-effective.

Is there no benefit to say?Of course, if you get angry with the common people, you will always win some popular support and a good reputation.But this is all false. Now that the great Qi and the world are peaceful, it is not a time when wars are raging everywhere. People's hearts are just icing on the cake. What really plays a key role is the full support of the ministers in the court.The common people don't care which prince in your royal family inherits the throne, as long as it is not a tyrant or a fool, it doesn't matter who they live under.

No matter how you look at it, this is a loss-making business, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, so you, the fourth child, can only count on your own blessings.On the surface, everyone congratulated King Yong for accepting such an errand for doing justice for the heavens and conforming to the will of the people, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts.

But those courtiers who were involved with Buddhism felt faintly uneasy.Even though they were just standing behind their backs quietly, they wouldn't hurt their bones if they found out.But King Yong is notoriously ruthless, iron-blooded, and the household department is a bloody lesson. If he is afraid of being cruel on the spur of the moment, they will have to peel off the skin to some extent.They all want to go back and quickly destroy the evidence of the correspondence, and then beat and beat in advance, so that the people below know what to say and what not to say, and don't bite like a mad dog.It doesn't matter if they are dead, don't they still have their parents, wives and children?Don't be afraid of obstacles.So the behind-the-scenes forces at the top of the capital are not too worried, but it's a pity that there are a lot of sacrifices.

In the end, the Thirteenth Master couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and asked Ying to assist King Yong in the investigation. At worst, he would direct all the firepower to himself, and the pressure on the fourth brother would be less.

King Yong was moved, and before he could say no, the emperor smiled first: "You have other errands, and I have already found a good helper for King Yong. Since it is such an extraordinary matter, it is natural to have an expert." Sit down." The emperor stroked his beard and said the plan he had made early in the morning, and everyone knew who this expert was present.At this time, some people regretted not taking the initiative to stand up just now. This is a good opportunity to get closer to that person, so let the fourth child be in vain.I don't know who was thinking that this is a hard job and it's not easy to please, but now they hear it and immediately turn their faces and regret it.

Ever since Jiang Yingrong rescued Chengwang and proposed the method of preventing smallpox, her reputation has been completely spread. Nowadays, no one in the capital would want to get close to her.And the price of the daily trigrams has been skyrocketing, but not everyone can afford it, it depends on Jiang Yingrong's mood, if something happens today, and the mood is not good tomorrow, everyone will have to postpone it later.

Going to do a thorough investigation, because Yangcheng is to the north of Yicheng, the first stop is Yangcheng. It happens that Puji Temple has more and more crimes, and the public's reaction is even worse, to the point of being too numerous to write down.However, because the investigation would take a long time, King Yong first sent five hundred elite soldiers to Yicheng to guard Ziyun Nunnery to prevent key people from escaping, and then began to prepare for the departure.

Matters should be prioritized, King Yong requested that everything should be kept simple, so he had to hurry to Yangcheng, lest things might change if he was too late.Concubine Yong helped pack the luggage overnight, even if it was too simple, she still packed three or four carriages, which were fully packed. After all, it was the prince who was traveling, and he was a noble person, so he couldn't be careless.

In the early morning of the second day, King Yong took five hundred elite soldiers and stood guard at the gate of the Supreme Palace, waiting for Jiang Yingrong to leave.After one stick of incense, the outer gate of the Supreme Palace opened, and Jiang Yingrong came out alone, without even a small bag in her hand. Behind the gate stood a group of attendants to see him off. King Yong rode on a tall horse and looked behind Jiang Yingrong. On the lookout, no one came out to send luggage.It is possible to go to two places on this trip, at least one month, and at most two or three months. I am afraid it will be inconvenient to bring nothing.However, King Yong didn't say much, if he couldn't do it, he could buy it now when he got to the place, he had enough bank notes.

Considering Jiang Yingrong, King Yong specially prepared a light carriage. After Jiang Yingrong got into the carriage, the group of people rushed out of the city in the morning light.Running like this for an hour, Jiang Yingrong lifted the curtain and saw that she was walking on a relatively empty official road, so she said, "Stop."

King Yong was not far from the carriage, so he ordered people to stop the horse when he heard the sound. Jiang Yingrong jumped out of the carriage at the right time, seeing that King Yong was puzzled, he must not be tired after driving for an hour.

Jiang Yingrong didn't say much, walked to an open space next to her, waved her small hand, and a thing that looked like a modern airplane landed on the open space. It grew bigger and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye. They all raised their necks and opened their mouths wide, almost exclaiming.Obediently boom, what is this big silver bird, how can it grow bigger on its own, today is really insightful.

This is Jiang Yingrong's means of transportation made by referring to modern airplanes. It's just that she had just learned how to make crafts, and her hands were a little raw. It is asymmetrical, and the fuselage is also round and fat. At first glance, it looks like a fat bird that only eats. It looks like a clumsy one, and it does not have the lightness and smoothness that an airplane should have.However, King Yong and the others had never seen an airplane before, so they only thought that this thing looked like this.

Because it was the first practical thing refined, Jiang Yingrong was reluctant to throw it away, and kept it in the space as a souvenir. She felt a little ashamed, and hadn't taken it out to use since it was refined. She never imagined that it would still be useful today. .The method of use is quite simple, just fill it with spirit stones and you can fly in the air.

Jiang Yingrong coughed dryly, trying to hide the fact that this object was a bit ugly: "It takes only half a day to get to Yangcheng after sitting on this object." This is because Jiang Yingrong deliberately slowed down the speed considering that these people must not be used to flying in the sky for the first time. As a result, otherwise it would have arrived in less than an hour.

Although the big bird looks big, there are more than 500 people in the group alone, and the horses and vehicles take up more space, so I'm afraid they won't be able to sit down. "Little real man, I'm afraid it won't fit in the luggage with people and horses." King Yong didn't know how this thing moved. If he knew that it was flying in the sky for a while, he might panic a little. , wouldn't be so straightforward to get on the thief's boat.

"It doesn't matter, it can accommodate twice as many people." There is something special inside the plane she built.

Since it could save three or four days of travel and not have to endure day and night running around, although King Yong had no idea, he was the first to step up the ladder by adhering to the principle of trusting Jiang Yingrong.
