Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 607
Huang Dayu was impeached, resulting in the loss of adults in Chang'an City.

And when Huang Dayu was ashamed, no one in the entire imperial palace dared to plead for the Great Buddha Temple anymore.

They all knew that Li Shimin's treatment of Huang Dayu was nothing more than trying to make an example of others.

These people are not clean, whoever jumps out, Li Shimin will deal with them. If they don't jump, they can save face. Li Shimin pretended not to know about this matter, and let them go.

There was no objection in the court anymore, Qin Tian and Wei Zheng did not hesitate, and immediately started to attack the Great Buddha Temple.

That afternoon, Qin Tian and Wei Zheng directly surrounded the Great Buddha Temple with soldiers and horses.

When entering the Great Buddha Temple, three thousand monks were all sitting in front of the Buddhist hall, and all of them clasped their hands together, chanting scriptures incessantly.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian and Wei Zheng were taken aback for a moment.

"There is an order from the Holy Spirit that all monks under the age of 50 and over 14 must return to vulgarity. All the land and property of the Great Buddha Temple will be confiscated. After that, the Great Buddha Temple can continue to exist, but it can only have enough food for all the monks. Other properties, in this way, can be regarded as true Buddhists."

Qin Tian said in front of the Buddhist hall, since he wanted to live the life of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, he had to be able to endure poverty, so the monks didn't need any property, and all of them would be confiscated.

When Qin Tian said this, the monks were still chanting scriptures non-stop, but at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the Buddhist hall: "Almsgiver, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, turn back to the shore, please put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately ah!"

The voice came from the Buddhist hall, melodious, Qin Tian laughed after hearing it: "The Buddha said, I will not go to hell, whoever will go to hell, since you choose to save all living beings, then go to hell and go to hell."

After saying this, Qin Tian immediately waved his hand: "All the land of the Great Buddha Temple will be confiscated, and someone will come and search for all the money in the Great Buddha Temple."

With an order, a group of guards started immediately, and it was only at this time that the monks in front of the Buddhist hall suddenly stopped chanting. At the same time, Qingxin also came out of the Buddhist hall, or ran out.

After Qingxin came out, she still clasped her hands together and said: "Sins, sins, the benefactor is on the road of eternal doom, the benefactor should turn back quickly."

Facing Qingxin, Qin Tian didn't pay attention to him at all, but still ordered people to collect property. After burning incense, some guards had found a lot of money and food from the Great Buddha Temple.

There is a lot of money, all of which are copper coins or something, maybe donated by some pilgrims, probably tens of thousands of coins, which is still a lot.

However, apart from copper coins, no other money was found.

For example, gold cakes, silver cakes and so on.

Qin Tian glanced at Qing Xin and said, "Your monastery doesn't only have copper coins, does it?"

Qing Xin was heartbroken, her lips were bleeding from biting, and she said coldly, "That's all, nothing else."

Qin Tian snorted, "Come here, let's go to Qingxin's meditation room to have a look."

"You... you are simply robbers."

Saying that, Qing Xin stopped Qin Tian directly. At the same time, several monks who looked very burly also got up and stood with Qing Xin.

Qin Tian curled his lips: "Want to do it?"

Keep silent.

"Benhou didn't want to kill people, and he didn't want to see blood when he did this, but if someone doesn't know how to flatter him and insists on hindering him from doing this, then don't blame him for being rude."

As he said that, the guard behind him immediately drew out his knife, and the big knife shook, as if he could cut off the heads of those monks at any time.

Thinking that Kong Ming was beheaded like this, the monks suddenly felt fear and took a step back.

"Search!"

Qin Tian gave an order, and the guards immediately walked towards Qingxin's room. Qingxin, who had always been very calm, finally became anxious at this moment, and hurriedly chased after her.

After entering the Qingxin Meditation Room, Qin Tian saw a very dilapidated bed, very dilapidated tables, chairs and benches, everything here was dilapidated.

It seems that Qingxin has been cultivating hard.

Everyone was stunned, looking at each other, not knowing what to do, at this moment, Qingxin clasped his hands together, and said: "Amitabha, poor monk, there are no such things you are looking for here."

At this time, money is actually a thing to Qing Xin, Qin Tian wanted to laugh when he heard it, and said: "Search it, digging three feet of ground will also be searched by me."

Wei Zheng stood beside him, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, what is there to search for in such a poor place?

But just when Wei Zheng was disdainful of Qin Tian's behavior, there was a sudden sound, and immediately after that, a wardrobe in the meditation room moved a bit.

"Master Hou, there is a secret room here."

"Open."

The guard moved the closet away, and immediately after, he saw that the back of the closet was full of gold, and when he entered the secret room, it was also full of gold and silver.

The amount of gold and silver is simply beyond everyone's imagination.

After not paying taxes for so many years, the Great Buddha Temple has really hidden a lot of good things.

Gold, silver and jewelry came into view, and Wei Zheng's eyes widened immediately: "This... this... actually hid so much gold and silver here, these monks are really hypocritical, if you don't kill them, you really think highly of them .”

At this time, Wei Zheng became angry again, Qin Tian smiled, and said: "Come here, pull all these things out, and drag them to the street, so that the common people can see them."

After saying that, Qingxin was already in a hurry, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The property he had accumulated for so many years was confiscated by Qin Tian. Moreover, Qin Tian even dragged it to the street for an exhibition. Isn't this ruining his reputation?

After that, who will give him the incense money?

After the Great Buddha Temple was plundered, some people began to conduct competitions according to the age of those monks. Those who were over 15 years old and under 50 years old had to be forcibly repatriated and let them return to vulgarity. to the street.

Qin Tian wants to use people's jealousy to make these people feel less condemned for what they did.

If the common people see that the Great Buddha Temple is so rich and richer than them, then they will definitely feel very happy based on their hatred of the rich, instead of condemning the ruthlessness of the court because of their sympathy for the Great Buddha Temple.

Things were indeed as Qin Tian expected.

When all the money was dragged to the street for exhibition, the common people were shocked.

"No way, the Great Buddha Temple is so rich, it's almost as rich as a country."

"Haha, in today's Tang Dynasty, there really isn't as much money as the Great Buddha Temple. Not to mention, these monks are really rich. No wonder they can go to jewels and jewels to spend, tsk tsk..."

"Oh, it's really a bad world, but it's okay to copy them, who made them so rich..."
