Monument Yangmen

Chapter 851

The afterglow of the setting sun filled the whole city of Yanjing.

Yanjing City seemed to be wearing a golden evening gown. Looking from a distance, it was not so dazzling, but a hint of magnificence.

In just one and a half years, Yanjing City has transformed from a dilapidated ruin to a prosperous capital.

Yang Qi took some spare time out of rare occasions, climbed to the top of the imperial city by himself, and looked at the city from a distance.

Seeing the bustling traffic and crowded scenes, I couldn't help feeling a little proud in my heart.

"Splendid Jiangshan, picturesque scenery, it's easy to fascinate people..."

Su Yijian didn't know when she appeared behind Yang Qi, and a teasing remark interrupted Yang Qi's thoughts.

Yang Qi put his hands behind his back, turned his head and glanced at Su Yijian, and said in a neutral tone: "In a year and a half, a rich city has risen from the ground, and there are a lot of people. Anyone who sees this city will be amazed. feel.

As the owner of this city, can't I be proud of my achievements. "

Su Yijian nodded slowly, walked to Yang Qi's side, stood side by side with Yang Qi, looked at the bustling Yanjing City, and said with emotion: "You are right, anyone who sees this bustling city will feel amazed.

But I don't think it's surprising that such a miraculously existing city can come from your hands.

The only thing that surprises me is the population in Yanjing City.

In just two years, the population of Yanjing City has grown from nothing to 50.

When the population of Bianjing City reached 50, it was completed after decades of accumulation by Guo Wei and Chai Rong.

For us, it took less than two years.

It can be seen that you are very popular. "

Yang Qi glanced at Su Yijian with a sideways glance in surprise, and said amusedly, "Suddenly, his mouth became so sweet that he knew how to flatter."

The corner of Su Yijian's mouth was raised, he smiled, and said with a flattering face: "Isn't it approaching the New Year, do you want to ask His Majesty for a decree..."

Yang Qi frowned, and said quietly: "Except for the prohibition of alcohol, everything else is easy to talk about."

Su Yijian changed his face instantly when he heard the words, and he stared at Yang Qi resentfully, "You can't let me drink a couple of sips and let people live after the Chinese New Year. I want to beg for bones!"

"No!"

Yang Qi refused, and Su Yijian was so angry that he almost didn't rush forward to fight him desperately.

"Whoo~"

Just when Su Yijian was mad with anger, Yang Qi breathed out a foul breath, looked at the splendid and prosperous Yanjing City, and said in a low voice: "We still have time to celebrate the New Year, Zhao Di and Luoye, I am afraid that even the New Year's time is too late." No.

They had only been out for less than half a month, and what they found was shocking.

Tens of thousands of people were involved.

There are thousands of cases involving human life. "

Yang Qi clenched his fist subconsciously, and said in a deep voice: "The Great Yan Kingdom has just been established, and I haven't ascended the throne yet, there are many people who can't help but want to sit on the merit book and wait to die, and even want to run wild in the village based on their merit. These people will surely become the beginning of the moths in the Great Yan Kingdom.

In addition, Buddhism and Taoism are not idle.

In order to please my mother and let me let them go, they actually boasted about the Holy Mother of Mercy at this time.

Threatened that my mother is the reincarnation of the Holy Mother of Mercy, and even held a grand pilgrimage on New Year's Eve.

Now this matter is spreading in Yanjing City.

Everyone is looking forward to the pilgrimage ceremony on New Year's Eve. "

Su Yijian raised her brows, and said hesitantly, "How will the queen mother choose this matter?"

Yang Qi let out a long sigh and said: "So far, she is still kept in the dark. She only knows that there will be a blessing ceremony on New Year's Eve, but she doesn't know that it has anything to do with her. She doesn't even know that Buddhism and Taoism have been trying to trick her from the beginning to the end. "

Su Yijian said suspiciously: "It shouldn't be, there are rumors in Yanjing City. How could the Queen Mother not know?"

Yang Qi said calmly: "I sent someone to issue a gag order."

Su Yijian raised her eyebrows, and said unexpectedly: "Your Majesty wants to see what's wrong with Buddhism and Taoism?"

Yang Qi nodded slowly, and said with a stern expression: "I have such a heart, and I really want to know what they are planning and how big their appetite is for making such a big scene, even blowing my mother into the reincarnation of a god and Buddha." ..."

Su Yijian nodded slightly. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, hesitantly said: "Your Majesty hasn't figured out a countermeasure to deal with Buddhism and Taoism, so you let them do what they do, so that they can see what they have to do?"

Yang Qi was stunned, and pondered: "Buddhism and Taoism, with thousands of years of experience, have already been deeply rooted. It is really difficult to eradicate them. I have thought about it for a long time, but I just thought of a dirty method, and I am still considering it. among.

Therefore, before I decide how to deal with Buddhism and Taoism, I can only let them go and see what happens. "

Su Yijian rolled her eyes slightly when she heard the words, and said tentatively, "Can your majesty tell me about your insidious method, maybe I can help your majesty find out what's missing and fill in the gaps."

Yang Qi pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "One person counts the disadvantages, and two people count the longs. I am working behind closed doors, and it really takes a lot of effort. It is indeed a way to ask you for details."

Yang Qi turned sideways, facing Su Yijian, and said seriously: "Buddhism and Taoism can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition to some methods of pretending to be gods and ghosts, there are more sages of Buddhism and Taoism. With compassion, A seed of kindness was planted in the hearts of the people.

It is precisely because of the existence of this seed of kindness that when people approach them, they will subconsciously regard them as compassionate people.

If you want to destroy Buddhism and Taoism, you must destroy the seeds of good thoughts of Buddhism and Taoism in the hearts of the people.

Only in this way, after they are destroyed, they will not revive.

Everyone in the world regards the temples of Buddhism and Taoism as the pure land. What if we try to turn the pure land into an evil land? "

Su Yijian looked stunned, stared at her eyes, and said in astonishment: "Turn the pure land into a bad land? How?"

Yang Qi put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Zhao Di and Luo Ye, within half a month, they have cleared up tens of thousands of people. It may take nearly half a year to sort out the entire Great Yan Kingdom. The number of people out may reach a terrifying number.

From Gubeikou to Shangjing in the Liao Kingdom, thousands of miles away, there is abject poverty and desolation. If so many people are sent there at once, I am afraid that that piece of land will become the source of evil in an instant.

Once evils are allowed to take root and sprout, we may have to expend a lot of energy to deal with them.

Rather than leaving this issue for later, it is better to deal with it now.

Among the people who were traced out, there were many kind people who were bewitched or implicated.

At that time, organize these people and move them outside Gubeikou.

As for the remaining criminals..."

Yang Qi paused, and said leisurely: "Buddhism and Taoism are good at converting people, and they are also good at guiding people to be good. After this pilgrimage meeting, in order to save my mother's face, I will definitely reward them.

All they ask for is land and people.

That being the case, it is better to give these sinners to them and let them teach them well.

Maybe a few years later, with the efforts of Buddhism and Taoism, our country of Yan will become a pure land.

What do you think? "

Su Yijian was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.

After a long while, he swallowed secretly, and said with a wry smile: "This method is not only a shame, it is simply digging graves for Buddhism and Taoism..."

As the former Prime Minister of the Southern Kingdom, he is now the Prime Minister of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Su Yijian's eyes are farther than ordinary people's.

According to Yang Qi, he can easily deduce that once the criminals are dispatched to Buddhist and Taoist temples and Taoist temples.

The temples and Taoist temples of Buddhism and Taoism will suddenly turn from the previous pure land into a land of sin and a place where filth and evil people are hidden.

And these evil people are not kind, how could they obediently become monks and Taoist priests in temples and Taoist temples.

They will definitely make a lot of angry things.

In the end, I am afraid that the people of the entire Yan Kingdom will change their faces when they talk about Buddhism.

And Buddhism and Taoism will become notorious from then on.

By that time, the Buddhist and Taoist families may no longer be able to make any big waves.

Yang Qi looked at Su Yijian sincerely and said: "You can't say that. How could I dig a grave for Buddhism and Taoism? Isn't Buddhism particular about putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately? To save a wicked person, can accumulate A lot of merit.

This method is giving them merit, and maybe many holy Buddhas will appear because of it.

They should thank me. "

Su Yijian said with a wry smile: "There is another saying in the Buddhist family, which is called Buddha crossing a predestined person."

Unspoken.

Buddhism saves evil people, that's what people eat.

Those who can be transformed will uphold the heart of a Bodhisattva.

If it cannot be cured, it is natural to use the wrath of the Vajra.

Yang Qi curled his lips and said: "So I just said that this is just an immature idea, and I need to think about it a little bit more. Didn't you just say that you want to give me a detailed look? Quickly look into it!"

With a bitter face, Su Yijian hesitated and said: "The method is too dark, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of rebounding power, and it will even be used by people with intentions. Therefore, I feel that the court should send someone to supervise this matter, so as to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

In addition, prisoners assigned to the Buddhist and Taoist families must not die for their crimes.

Therefore, Buddhist and Taoist temples and Taoist temples should guarantee their safety.

Finally, among these prisoners, there will inevitably be some stubborn ones.

In order to prevent them from harming the common people, Buddhism and Taoism have to be responsible for supervision. "

Yang Qi raised his brows and said in astonishment: "Just now you said that I dug the graves of the Buddhist and Taoist families. How do I feel that your graves are deeper than mine? You must not let them hurt people, but also let them supervise those crimes. In addition to supervising criminals, the Buddhist and Taoist families probably won’t have the power to do anything else, right?”

Su Yijian said with an innocent face: "The minister is just helping His Majesty to improve His Majesty's ideas, and has no other meaning. As for this policy, after the introduction of this policy, please don't mention the name of the minister.

I still want to live two more years..."

"coward!"

Yang Qi curled his lips, and said disdainfully: "I promise you, when you really want to introduce this policy, your name will never be mentioned."

Su Yijian was overjoyed, bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness."

"For the sake of helping me with my plan today, I will allow you to drink a jug of wine. I will send someone to deliver the wine later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You go down."

"promise!"

Watching Su Yijian leave happily and briskly, Yang Qi ordered Peng Pai beside him: "Send someone to organize the conversation I just had with Su Yijian into an imperial decree. Tell the people in Zhongshushe that you must not write Su Yijian in your signature." The name of Su Yijian, wherever there is Su Yijian's name, it will be replaced by Prime Minister Dayan."

"Puff~"

Su Yijian, who hadn't gone far, fell to the ground when she heard the words, and never got up again.

That is, from this day on.

Su Yijian was ill, a very serious illness, and had been absent from court for many days.

Even on New Year's Eve, the monarch and ministers had fun together, but they didn't show up.

According to the news from the Su residence.

Su Yijian was frightened, and she still hasn't gotten rid of the nightmare.

……

New Year's Eve.

Yang Qi set up a grand banquet in the palace.

As the first grand banquet after the founding of Dayan, all civil and military officials were present.

Lao Yang and She Saihua changed into dragon robes and phoenix costumes, and accompanied by Gong'e, sat at the head.

Yang Qi was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on the lower left side with a golden crown on his head. On his dragon chair, there were two small figures carved in pink and jade.

The ten-year-old Xiao Guiying already knew a little bit, she knew the solemnity of the occasion today, so she didn't dare to make unnecessary movements, and sat obediently beside Yang Qi.It's just that her clever eyes kept flashing across all kinds of novelty things, betraying her latent childlike heart.

On the contrary, it was Yang Qi's only daughter, with a heartless face, crawling around on the wide dragon chair where Yang Qi sat.

Cao Lin sat on the lower right, watching Yang Qi fondly teasing her daughter, she gave him a resentful look, and then helped her son who was sitting next to her tidy up his clothes, making the little guy look more energetic.

Chuxing, Du Jin'e, and Huyan Chijin, who had just returned from Song Dynasty, sat behind Cao Lin respectively.

Further down, there are Yang Da, Yang Er, Yang San, Yang Wu, Yang Liu, the five brothers and their families, sitting at the bottom.

Beside them, Yang Yanqi and Yang Paifeng's two daughters were also sitting.

Further down, they are Du Shi, the mistress of the Du family, and Hu Yanzan, the head of the Huyan family who has just returned to Yan.

Then came Lu Mengzheng, Xiang Minzhong, Wang Dan, Shang Qingzi, Meng Liang, Jiao Zan and others.

What attracted the most attention was a group of people sitting in a remote corner.

They are envoys of Liao Kingdom, Beiliang Kingdom, Dali Kingdom and other foreign envoys.

If they were placed in other countries, they would definitely become guests admired by thousands of people.

But in Dayan, they can only be at the bottom.

Compared with Goryeo, Wa, and other small foreign countries that came to observe the ceremony and surrender, it is already considered good.

Because these foreign countries are not even qualified to sit in the hall.

One by one sat outside the hall blowing the cold wind.

When it was time for the banquet, Lao Yang sat at the head with a stern face, a face that no strangers should enter.

On the contrary, She Saihua eagerly said to everyone: "New Year's Eve tonight, tomorrow is the New Year, and the whole country should celebrate. On this festive day, everyone should not be restrained, and should drink to their heart's content. What's missing, what's missing, is for the palace maids behind you." they said."

"Thank you Empress Dowager..."

　Thanks to 'Justin' for the reward of [-] book coins!
