Chapter 166 The army overwhelms the clouds, all obstacles, kill!kill!kill!
Chapter 166 The Great Army Overwhelms the Clouds, All Obstacles, Kill!kill!kill!
"According to His Majesty's order, the army is assembled and prepared quickly to destroy the Buddha."
Accompanied by one after another of extremely passionate voices, outside the capital of Daxia, countless military camps erupted.
These soldiers are all ready to go, with high morale.
And in the Duke's mansion.
Gu Jinnian went straight to the old man's study. At this moment, the old man was also in the study, explaining some matters.
"grandfather."
Entering the study, Gu Jinnian called out.
At that moment, Mr. Gu nodded, and the soldiers in the study left one by one.
After waiting for the people to leave, Gu Jinnian looked at Mr. Gu and said.
"Grandpa, why did His Majesty appoint you to destroy Buddha this time?"
When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, he asked the old man.
Obviously he asked for his order, but His Majesty chose the old man to conquer Buddhism, which was not what he wanted to see.
Exterminate Buddha.
Not only the influence of reputation, but also the influence of the will of heaven and earth. After all, Buddhism has the blessing of destiny.
Destroying the Buddha directly will inevitably provoke the disgust of heaven and earth, but he has the mark of destiny, and he is not afraid of these.
His personal luck is indeed inferior to the entire Buddhist sect, but Gu Jinnian believes that his own luck can still suppress a Buddhist sect of Great Xia.
Hearing Gu Jinnian's doubts.
Mr. Gu looked calm.
"Grandpa and His Majesty have already discussed the matter. The matter of exterminating the Buddha is something His Majesty has always wanted to do. Grandpa is the Duke of the state. It is not for you, a junior, to bear the brunt of such a big matter."
"Jinnian, you are the future of Daxia. There are some things that we old guys should come forward."
"Stop rambling on this matter, the Great Xia Dynasty cannot be supported by one person."
"Quickly collect [-] elites, and do what you want to do. Your Majesty has an order. It is up to you to decide to destroy the Buddha this time. This is the Immortal Dao Messenger Talisman. It is worth ten thousand gold and is extremely precious. You only need to write on it Command, Grandpa will respond as soon as possible."
Mr. Gu took out a talisman paper and handed it to Gu Jinnian.
This is a messenger talisman, and its value is extremely precious. There are only two or three of them in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. They were reluctant to use them in the frontier battle, but now they are handed over to Gu Jinnian.
Mr. Gu will control Daxia Buddhist Gate immediately, and the next step is to wait for Gu Jinnian's order.
"Thirty thousand elite?"
"Grandpa, take these people?"
Gu Jinnian remained silent.
Thirty thousand elites seem to be a bit small.
"Thirty thousand is a lot."
"The main force is to control other Buddhist temples, and His Majesty invited Mr. Dongfang to accompany you."
Mr. Gu looked at his grandson angrily. There are indeed [-] elites, and they are an extremely powerful force. It is nothing to flatten a few Buddhist temples.
Moreover, Emperor Yongsheng even invited a peerless master to Gu Jinnian.
Mr. East.
"Mr. Dongfang? Is he the top three Eastern Sword Masters in the Dao of Swords?"
Hearing the words Mr. Dongfang, Gu Jinnian couldn't help being surprised.
"kindness."
"A strong man in the sixth realm of swordsmanship has only defeated one person in his life."
Old man Gu said lightly.
"Who?"
Gu Jinnian became curious. He had heard of this Mr. Dongfang, a peerless genius in swordsmanship.
The lineage of the way of the sword is a separate system. Since childhood, the sword has been cultivated with qi, and it has broken away from the immortal way. It's just that there are many people who follow the line of the way of the sword, but there are very few people who have truly achieved it.
There are many people walking, it is entirely because of the immortal way, they are more handsome and powerful, but there are very few people who can walk on this road, less than other systems.
"Old Man of Heavenly Demon."
Old man Gu opened his mouth slowly.
"what?"
Gu Jinnian really didn't expect that it would be the old man Tianmo, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Don't worry about these people. Their strength is unpredictable. They step into the sixth realm. When the destiny comes, these people have the hope of stepping into the seventh realm. In Jinnian, you should hurry up and improve your cultivation. Dynasty It won't hold you back much longer."
"Waiting for the battle of destiny, personal force will subvert everything. If one day, you can step into the eighth realm, everything in this world will be a cloud in your eyes, whether it is Daxia or Dajin, even the so-called invincible Central Continent Dynasty, in your eyes, is nothing more than mediocrity."
Old Master Gu spoke up and said this, telling Gu Jinnian to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and not to put all his thoughts on the dynasty.
"Grandson understands, but this eighth level, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
Gu Jinnian understands this truth. When one's personal strength reaches its peak, one can be proud of the world.
But the problem is, let alone the eighth realm, the seventh realm today is an invincible existence. In an era, there are only those two or three people. Even according to what the old man Tianmo said, there is no real seventh realm in this world.
Those few survivors of the seventh realm were hiding one by one, and had only one chance to make a move, which showed how difficult the seventh realm was.
So in the eighth state, you can't think about it, but if you think about it, you don't have it.
"That's true."
"Okay, let's get ready."
"Jinnian, this time, since you're going to do it, just do it. You don't need to worry about anything, you know?"
Mr. Gu continued, telling Gu Jinnian to do it with confidence and to do it boldly.
"Grandson understands."
"But grandpa, you don't have to kill monks who have written blood books and returned to lay life. If you are obsessed with obsession, you should be killed."
Gu Jinnian nodded, since he had reached this point, he didn't say much, it was just to tell his own thoughts.
"Don't worry, grandpa has a measure."
Mr. Gu nodded, and Gu Jinnian also left the study directly and walked towards the outside of Gu's house.
Just walking out of Gu's house, a figure appeared in Gu Jinnian's eyes, it was Su Huaiyu.
He was waiting for himself at the door of Gu's house.
"Master Hou."
Su Huaiyu shouted.
"Brother Su, do you want to go together?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"kindness."
"Let's go for a walk. It is a great event to witness the fall of Buddhism."
"The [-] elite of the Tianyu Army are already waiting outside the capital."
Su Huaiyu nodded.
"it is good."
Gu Jinnian was unambiguous, and after agreeing, he and Su Huaiyu went directly outside the capital.
outside the city.
Not only the Tianyu Army's 50 troops, but also other military battalions drew [-] troops each, waiting in the distance.
"Subordinate Zhao Yu has met Lord Hou."
"Subordinate Wang Peng, I have seen Lord Hou."
"Subordinate Xu Jin, I have seen Lord Hou."
At this moment, the commander of the Tianyu Army came quickly, bringing a few soldiers, Xu Jin and Wang Peng were also among them, the two of them were placed in the Tianyu Army by Gu Jinnian, and their positions were still generals.
It was the same as in the Shankui Army before, except that the soldiers of the Tianyu Army knew that Wang Peng and Xu Jin were both Gu Jinnian's cronies, so they naturally had a certain prestige in the army, which was much better than in the Shankui Army.
"Master Hou, the [-] elites are ready, please order from Lord Hou."
Zhao Yu spoke, wearing iron armor.
"Walk."
"Go straight to Guiyang County, Puhan Temple."
"Wang Peng, I will check out all the temples along the way, and kill them one by one."
"Xu Jin, you lead three thousand elites, gallop forward, inform all the temples along the way, tell them, write a blood letter to return to vulgarity, the Great Xia Dynasty will give them a way out, if they are obsessed with obsession, wait for the army to approach, and kill them."
Gu Jinnian's voice was cold, and he issued two notices.
He wants to push it all the way, and there is no ancient temple anywhere.
"Follow the order."
The two clapped their hands in response, and then Xu Jin led [-] elites and galloped towards Guiyang County.
Gu Jinnian also rode on the horse, instead of sitting on the jade chariot, he wanted to fight in person.
In this way, the [-] troops rushed towards Guiyang County mightily.
The main hall in the palace.
Civil and military officials gathered.
The voice of controversy is great.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Buddha."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the Buddha is destroyed, it will definitely bring disaster to Daxia. Please take it back, Your Majesty."
"The Great Xia Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and it is inclusive of all rivers. Even if there are tens of thousands of Buddhists who are wrong, they should not be completely wiped out. If this is spread, it will be a crime for the world. Moreover, Buddhism is very powerful. Xia Miefo, I'm afraid it will make a big mistake."
In the court hall, several voices sounded, and the officials were still very resistant to destroying the Buddha.
After all, the Buddhism has not violated their interests, and the extermination of the Buddha is not a trivial matter, so they naturally want to stop it.
"Buddhism is expanding wantonly, and it doesn't respect the law, why can't it be destroyed?"
The voice of Gu Leng, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, sounded. Facing the crowd, Gu Leng directly stood up to support the extermination of Buddha.
"The expansion of Buddhism has a vague meaning of becoming the master of the Great Xia. Just a fairy gate will cause a lot of disputes. If the Buddhism becomes the master of the Great Xia, will the people listen to your Majesty or the Buddhist monks in the future? Word?"
"The old minister believes that the extinction of Buddha is imminent."
Yang Kai's voice also followed, and both the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites agreed to destroy the Buddha.
"In fact, the old minister believes that it is not necessary to destroy Buddhism. As long as Buddhism is willing to pay taxes and cancel some systems, it can be regarded as a kind of suppression. There is no need to completely destroy Buddha. Please think again, Your Majesty."
Hubu Shangshu He Yan followed suit. He agreed to exterminate the Buddha before, but now he has changed his mind. It seems that someone has approached him and discussed it.
Facing the words of hundreds of officials.
Emperor Yongsheng seemed calm, and after all the officials had finished speaking, Emperor Yongsheng's voice slowly sounded.
"I have made up my mind to destroy the Buddha."
He made a faint sound, making the hall extremely quiet.
"His Majesty."
"I believe that this matter is still inappropriate. Once the Buddha is destroyed in the Great Xia, the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty must use this as an excuse to criticize our Great Xia Dynasty, and the Buddhist forces will affect the world. After the Buddha is destroyed, I am afraid It will hurt the fortune of my Great Xia Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
At this moment, Li Shan's voice sounded. At this juncture, the emperor had already made up his mind, but Li Shan still tried to dissuade him.
It seems that the power of Buddhism has a great influence.
"I said, I have decided on this matter."
Emperor Yongsheng didn't show any expression, he just spoke again coldly.
At this moment, the hall was completely quiet, and even Li Shan was silent, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Emperor Yongsheng's voice sounded again.
"The matter of exterminating the Buddha will be handled by Lord Zhen Guo, so don't continue to discuss anything."
"Right now, there is another matter that I need to ask all my loves."
The matter of exterminating the Buddha is already firmly established, there is no need to persuade them, and the civil and military officials have nothing to say.
He is the emperor, he can decide.
All the officials were silent, at this moment they felt the oppression of Emperor Yongsheng, and this oppression was new.
From Gu Jinnian.
Yes, from Gu Jinnian.
In the past year, the great fortune of the Great Xia Kingdom has been prosperous, and the domestic situation has been improving day by day. The biggest enemy, the Xiongnu, has also been severely beaten, the twelve cities have been returned, and the prestige of Emperor Yongsheng has also increased.
The higher the emperor's prestige, the greater the power. Naturally, no one dared to say anything to Emperor Yongsheng.
If it was put a year ago, all the officials would have quarreled for three days and three nights about the extermination of Buddha, and even if Emperor Yongsheng insisted on exterminating Buddha, I am afraid that some people would die against him.
It's not that Emperor Yongsheng is weak, but because of various reasons, he has to worry about the thoughts of the ministers and his own reputation.
But it's different now.
What he says is what he says.
"In the Jiangnan area, this year's tax revenue is less than [-]% of last year's. I specifically checked it out. Since the founding of the country by Taizu, we have spent unprecedented national power to support the Jiangnan area. Why have the tax revenue decreased every year since I became the throne?"
"Dare to ask you dear ministers, why is this?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke up and mentioned another matter.
Jiangnan taxes.
This matter is not a trivial matter, and of course it is not something that happened recently, but since he took the throne, the entire Jiangnan tax has had a big problem, and the tax revenue has dropped every year.
It is obviously the most prosperous place, but in recent years, the taxes collected have become less and less. There are neither natural disasters nor man-made disasters. The imperial court allocates funds every year to build bridges and roads, and there are two big rivers in the Jiangnan area. accompany.
Theoretically, it does not say how much it will increase every year, but it will definitely not decrease.
There must be something tricky about this.
Moreover, it is definitely not a single star or half of the power involved. It is estimated that half of the civil and military officials in the court are involved.
Emperor Yongsheng understood.
But he couldn't bear it, because he couldn't spare his hands to deal with this matter. Now that he has time, background and strength, he naturally has to deal with this matter.
For a moment, the hall seemed extremely quiet, and no one dared to speak.
"He Aiqing, what do you think?"
Emperor Yongsheng continued to ask.
"Returning to Your Majesty, there are indeed many good fields in the Jiangnan area, and there are rivers, and the trade is prosperous. It's just that the taxes in the Jiangnan area have been reduced or exempted since the Taizu. Besides, my business tax in Daxia is not heavy. one."
"Moreover, the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are scattered, and most of them are scattered merchants. Although they seem to be prosperous, they are difficult to manage, so the tax revenue decreases every year."
He Yan spoke up and gave an official answer.
There is a reason for the tax reduction and exemption in the Jiangnan area. The Jiangnan area was originally the Southern Kingdom, and the monarch of the Southern Kingdom was generous and broad-minded.
The monarch of the southern kingdom has only one request, that is, after the founding of Daxia, he hopes that Taizu will treat the people of the southern kingdom kindly and reduce the grain tax.
Therefore, Taizu made an oath that 20 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the south of the Yangtze River will inevitably prosper and the grain tax will be reduced.
Later, the power of the whole country did make Jiangnan rich, but Jiangnan was rich, but the treasury was empty.
Also a tricky question.
However, after hearing what He Yan said, Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but sneered.
"It's really ridiculous."
"A sentence of improper management is the reason?"
"He Yan, I am now ordering you to reorganize the taxation in the Jiangnan area, and let me investigate thoroughly. If the officials in the Jiangnan area dare to collect taxes like this, there must be someone secretly covering up and colluding with officials and businessmen."
"After three months, if there is no result, your Minister of the Household Department will come to an end."
"Retreat."
Emperor Yongsheng got up, he said this coldly, and then left directly.
But this sentence made the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty fall into an ice cellar.
Especially He Yan.
I feel unprecedented pressure.
Although I don't know if Emperor Yongsheng used the Jiangnan taxation as a shield to destroy Buddha, but no matter what, Emperor Yongsheng was angry.
And at the same time.
It has been two hours since Gu Jinnian left Beijing.
Kyoto is four hundred miles away.
The army rushed to attack, and at the same time, there were voices of military reports.
"Hou Ye, Wang Peng sent information that within six hundred miles along the road, all the monks in the temples have returned to the secular world, but there is only one temple, and they will not leave."
Xu Jin opened his mouth to inform the situation ahead.
Wang Peng led three thousand elites to do things ahead of time.
"kill."
Gu Jinnian spoke lightly, without any emotion in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xu Jin didn't think much of it. Gu Jinnian had said before that he wanted to destroy the Buddha. If someone dared to seek death, they would not be afraid.
"Follow the order."
Xu Jin didn't talk too much, and immediately asked people to spread the information.
So, about an hour later.
In a temple, hundreds of monks have firm eyes. They sit in the temple without fear of anything, and the host even recites scriptures.
At this moment, Wang Peng's voice was extremely cold.
"Pass on the order of Lord Marquis."
"Those who do not follow will be killed without mercy!"
Following the icy voice, three thousand cavalry stepped directly into the temple.
The sword is ruthless, and blood splatters everywhere.
The screams sounded at this moment, and some monks showed panic.
"Host, host, didn't you say they were just scaring people?"
"Host, save me, save me."
"Amitabha, I am willing to return to vulgarity, I am willing to return to vulgarity."
In an instant, countless voices rang out from the temple. Some monks were completely panicked and frightened.
But Daxia's saber doesn't have any sympathy to speak of.
Military orders are like mountains.
In less than a quarter of an hour, one after another sound sounded.
"Report, General, there are no survivors in the whole temple."
As the voice sounded, Wang Peng spit on the ground on the war horse, and then spoke.
"Burn it clean, leave 20 people to post notices, and the rest follow me."
Without further ado, Wang Peng grabbed the reins and continued walking forward.
And so.
In a blink of an eye, a day passed.
The story of the extermination of the Buddha in the Great Xia capital has also been thoroughly spread throughout the entire Eastern Barren Territory, including the Buddhist sects.
All of a sudden, like a boulder, it smashed into the calm pool, causing huge ripples.
"There is nothing wrong with Buddhism, why destroy Buddha?"
"Buddhist monks, saving the souls of the dead, this is the righteous way of heaven and earth, why destroy Buddha?"
"Why do you want to kill Buddha?"
In the beginning, there were only some voices of doubt. Many people did not understand why Daxia destroyed the Buddha. In the eyes of the world, Buddhism did not do anything wrong. On the contrary, Buddhist monks would go to save the souls of the dead and solve problems for the people.
Naturally, people don't understand, even the people of Daxia don't understand.
But then, some remarks appeared, which was a deliberate move.
"Buddhism should never have offended Gu Jinnian."
"It's Gu Jinnian's grievances with the Buddhist sect, and the Buddhist sect is merciful. They don't want too many killings in this world, but they didn't expect that Gu Jinnian did not hesitate to slaughter a temple in order to make meritorious deeds, just to secure the position of Lord Marquis. , to destroy the Buddha."
"Because of one's own selfish desires, launching an extermination of Buddhas, this is the style of the first prince of the Great Xia? If you really have the ability, why don't you go to exterminate the demons? Exterminate the demons?"
"Not to mention, it is rumored that Gu Jinnian, the first Marquis of Great Xia, is related to the peerless powerhouse of the Demon Sect."
"seriously?"
"More than that, it's rumored that Gu Jinnian didn't get enlightened by accident, but that a strong man from the Demon Sect teamed up with him to steal other people's talents and enlighten him. Therefore, Gu Jinnian is so talented. become so intelligent?"
"It's really possible. Just look at Gu Jinnian's current situation. It's full of killings."
Many voices sounded.
Most of these voices were intentional, someone came forward to confuse the public.
However, there is no shortage of wise men in this world.
Many people also spoke out, telling the truth about Buddhism, carefully analyzing the reasons for the extermination of Buddhism, and saying a lot of good things for Gu Jinnian.
But unfortunately, this voice was ignored by this group of people.
The reason is very simple, this group of people deliberately set the rhythm, and they benefited by pouring dirty water on Gu Jinnian.
However, the number of this group of people was not many after all, and the Great Xia Dynasty also issued an imperial edict when rumors spread.
List the top ten crimes of Buddhism, and then make it known to the world.
The most serious faults of Buddhism are three.
One, no taxation.
The Buddhist enclosure is approved by the dynasty, basically there will not be too much land, just enough for one's own food and drink.
But the Buddhist sect wantonly encloses land. This is the fish and meat people in disguise, greedy for the Daxia treasury.
Second, the labor force is reduced.
Young people become monks instead of plowing land or farming, which seems to be the right way in the world, but if everyone becomes a monk, who will farm the land?Where does food come from?Does the country still need to develop?
The third is to collect money.
The people's silver and silver were sent to the merit box one after another, but how many natural and man-made disasters happened in Daxia?How much has been donated by Buddhism in China?
These silver taels were not taken by these Buddhists to eat, drink and enjoy themselves?
These three are the most serious. After the imperial decree was announced, the situation reversed instantly, and many people recognized the imperial decree.
Support extermination of Buddha.
It's just that the situation of public opinion has been controlled, but other situations have occurred.
When the imperial decree was announced to the world, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, and the envoys of many small countries in the Eastern Barren Territory jointly put pressure on the Great Xia Dynasty.
It is believed that the Buddha must never be destroyed.
It's against the law.
In particular, the Fuluo Dynasty had the toughest attitude.
At this moment.
Inside the Daxia Palace.
The envoys of various countries stood in the middle of the hall, and the envoys of the Fuluo Dynasty took the lead and spoke to Emperor Yongsheng.
"Holy."
"Big Xia must never destroy Buddha. Buddhism is a practice recognized by heaven and earth. They have the blessing of destiny and luck. If Daxia destroys Buddha, it will definitely reduce the country's fortune."
"More than that, if Daxia really destroys the Buddha, this luck will affect the entire Eastern Barren Territory, and then natural disasters and man-made disasters will come to all countries. For such consequences, dare to ask the Great Xia, can you take responsibility?"
The envoys of Fuluo have a very tough attitude, giving people the feeling that they are not here to discuss, but to ask questions.
"Bold."
"You guys are really presumptuous. How dare you speak so loudly when you see my great Xia sage?"
Gu Leng's voice sounded from the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
He scolded Fuluo's envoy with cold eyes.
A mere envoy, meeting the Great Xia, actually made such a loud noise in the court?This is the crime of disrespect.
Facing Gu Leng's reprimand, Fu Luo's envoy frowned slightly, and he did so only out of desperation.
But at this moment, the Dajin envoy spoke up.
"My lord Daxia, Fuluo's envoys are in a hurry to do this. Please forgive me. With the spirit of your lord, you shouldn't care about me and these ministers."
"My lord Daxia, His Majesty Dajin hopes that this matter can be reconciled, and I hope Daxia will not destroy the Buddha."
The Dajin envoy immediately came out to smooth things over. He bowed to Emperor Yongsheng, and then expressed the thoughts of the Dajin Dynasty.
on the dragon chair.
Emperor Yongsheng was expressionless.
Indeed, he didn't care about the attitude of these envoys, and he wasn't so narrow-minded, but that didn't mean the other party could yell like that.
"reconcile?"
"Conciliation again?"
"Twelve cities on the border, you want to reconcile. Now that the Buddha is destroyed in Daxia, do you still want to reconcile?"
"This is the state affairs of Great Xia. When will it be your turn to intervene? The hand of the Great Jin Dynasty must have stretched too far, right?"
"Is it understandable that all the kingdoms come here today, you are here to threaten me? To threaten the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Emperor Yongsheng looked at these people with a cold face, and said so.
"Please calm down the anger of the Great Xia, we naturally don't have such intentions."
"It's just that the matter of destroying the Buddha involves too much. If the Buddha is really destroyed, it will only affect the Great Xia Dynasty. We will not say a word. This is the state affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty. We will not participate, but if the Great Xia Dynasty is destroyed Buddha, bring about natural disasters."
"It involves the Eastern Barren Territory, my Majesty, what should I do?"
"Does it mean that the Great Xia Dynasty will pay compensation? If the Holy Majesty means this, I will leave immediately and return to my country."
The other party opened his mouth, and he was extremely tricky and sharp, using this way to meddle in this matter.
"ridiculous."
"The Great Jin Dynasty has done a lot of things like this. In the second year of the Great Xia Kaiyuan, the Great Jin Dynasty released floods, which caused countless people to drown on both sides of the Great Xia Dynasty. Dare I ask if the Great Jin Dynasty compensated our Great Xia Dynasty? ?”
The voice of Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites sounded, and he stood up without hesitation and asked about this matter.
Hearing this, the Fuluo envoy couldn't help but speak out.
"How many years ago did this happen? Furthermore, this was not done intentionally by the Dajin Dynasty. After all, if there is no flood discharge, there will be more casualties, and my Fuluo Dynasty will also suffer a lot of casualties. These are two different things and cannot be confused."
The Fuluo envoy spoke.
The Dajin Dynasty was right when it did something wrong.
If the Daxia Dynasty did something wrong, it was wrong.
Moreover, this is still an internal matter of the Great Xia Dynasty. Who can decide whether it is right or wrong?
Hearing this, the complexions of all civil and military officials in the court changed, and they cursed Fuluo envoys one by one in their hearts.
"You Fuluo people, what does it matter to me whether you die or not? You are willing to be dogs, but my Daxia Dynasty is not willing."
Yang Kai's voice sounded, and he couldn't hold it back, angrily scolding the other party.
This statement came out.
Man Chao was surprised, he really didn't expect Yang Kai to say such a thing.
In the past, Yang Kai could be regarded as gentle and polite, especially in the diplomacy of big countries, he was polite, and his words had to be weighed repeatedly, and he would never talk nonsense.
But I didn't expect to see a transgender look now.
Indeed, after saying this, Yang Kai himself didn't realize it, and then he didn't wait for Fu Luo's envoy to criticize him, and took the initiative to speak out.
"Your Majesty, the old minister's words were inappropriate just now. It may be because he was too close to Jinnian. Please forgive me."
Yang Kai said, his words were not evasion, but the truth.
"It's really not good to say something like this in the court, okay, I'll punish you for copying my poetry collection twenty times."
Regarding Yang Kai's words, Emperor Yongsheng sounded very comfortable.
So a symbolic penalty was given casually.
All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but want to laugh. Isn't this an obvious bully?
However, right now.
A figure appeared outside.
"Report!"
"The scouts came to report that the army arrived at Yangnong Mansion. There are twelve temples in this mansion. The monks from the twelve temples gathered together. There are 290 monks in total. , the Marquis of Destiny has just arrived."
A figure appeared, and then reported the things ahead.
More than 3000 monks gathered in twelve monasteries and actively accumulated dry firewood. This is to fight Daxia.
And the Marquis of Tianming had just arrived, and he didn't know what the result would be.
For a while, there was some silence in the hall.
The envoys of various countries were also a little silent.
They were curious about what Gu Jinnian would do.
More than 1 monks.
If this is really killing, it is not a trivial matter.
Because so far, in fact, the major forces are still not sure whether Da Xia really wants to destroy the Buddha, or use this opportunity to frighten the Buddhist sect.
If it is to frighten the Buddhist sect, then it is actually okay, not many monks can be killed, just to teach a lesson.
If it is true to destroy the Buddha, it will not only affect the Great Xia, but the entire Eastern Wilderness, and even more forces will be involved.
The hall is quiet.
About two quarters of an hour later, another figure appeared.
It seemed extremely hasty.
Everyone in the main hall held their breath, waiting for the following.
"Report."
"The Marquis of Destiny has left Yangnong Mansion."
As the voice sounded, all kinds of emotions arose in everyone's hearts all of a sudden.
Fuluo envoys and Dajin envoys were secretly relieved, after all, they did not kill.
If he really wants to kill, Donghuang will boil.
It also means that Daxia is really going to use a knife.
That's not negotiation.
Countries may have to step in.
As for Emperor Yongsheng, he couldn't help frowning slightly. What's the meaning of Gu Jinnian's leaving?
"Where are the monks?"
Gu Leng asked the latter.
"Returning to my lord, according to the estimated time, those monks have all been sent back to the west by Lord Hou."
The latter answered.
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
This super-return to the west is very spiritual.
"Over 3000 monks, all of them have been saved?"
Some officials couldn't help swallowing, looked at each other and asked.
"This subordinate doesn't know. The information I got is that Marquis Tianming came to the temple and ordered the soldiers to set fire to save these monks."
The latter said with his head down.
He wasn't sure.
But everyone in the hall is not a fool, since they dare to light a fire, they will not let anyone go.
hiss.
hiss.
In the main hall, the sound of breathing sounded one after another.
Whether it is civil and military officials, or envoys from various countries.
Everyone was stunned.
With more than 3000 monks, Gu Jinnian killed as soon as he said it, which is really bold.
"Major Great Xia, this must not be the case."
"Please ask the holy decree to suspend the extermination of the Buddha first, otherwise it will cause heaven's resentment."
At this moment, the Dajin envoys and the Fuluo envoys hurriedly said that these [-] monks were definitely just an appetizer, and if they continued to let them go like this, they might really be wiped out.
"To shut up!"
On the dragon chair, when he learned that Gu Jinnian had made a move, Emperor Yongsheng got up directly. He looked at the group of envoys from various countries under the hall, and said with a cold face.
"It is not the turn of other countries to intervene in the affairs of the Great Xia state. I have made up my mind, and you can go back and report to the kings of other countries."
"Whether it's Fuluo or Dajin, there will be a battle."
"Retreat."
Emperor Yongsheng's tone was cold.
This is his last announcement.
Also final remarks.
Take care of your own housework. Besides, if you stretch your hands too far, you will be easily beaten.
As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the envoys from various countries became a little unsightly.
"Long live, long live, my emperor."
Civil and military officials also gave the strongest response at this moment. Since the emperor has made a decision, these courtiers will not sing against it.
Especially in front of outsiders.
This is the spirit of a great country.
It's decided, it's decided.
in this way.
Another day passed.
The news of the burning of the temple spread instantly. None of the more than 3000 monks survived.
They disobeyed and disrespected.
This is what happens.
All of a sudden, when this news came out, discussions in the entire Eastern Barren Territory were triggered, and the three major Buddhist sects couldn't sit still.
"Big Xia's move is against the laws of heaven."
"What's the difference between such behaviors, such as demons? Destiny, if you want to kill too much, you will be punished by heaven."
"Looking at Emperor Daxia, think twice, put down the butcher knife, and become a Buddha immediately."
The three major temples expressed their position at the first time.
The meaning of these three sentences is also very direct.
Xiaoyuan Temple is emotional, but also angry.
Dayin Temple angrily reprimanded directly, and even pointed the signs at Gu Jinnian.
As for ascending Tantra, his attitude is also the most profound.
Let the Great Xia Dynasty stop now, and there are still discussions. If you persist in your obsession, Buddhism may have to do it.
The performance of Buddhism, in the eyes of many forces, is extremely abnormal. When this kind of thing happened, the three major Buddhist schools only shouted a few words, but did not actually intervene.
It is full of doubts.
The Dajin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty also expressed their attitudes at the first time.
The Fuluo Dynasty led 50 troops to the border, hoping that the Daxia Dynasty would calm down. If necessary, the Fuluo Dynasty would do its best to save the Buddhist monks of Daxia.
The Dajin Dynasty led 50 troops and rushed to the border, calling on the Daxia Dynasty to hold talks with Buddhism instead of killing.
Both the two dynasties have already sent troops, and things have reached this point, although they are still under control.
But no matter what everyone knows, if a war really starts accidentally, no one will be able to control the situation at that time, it will only become more and more intense, and it is very likely to trigger a war in the Eastern Wilderness.
The war between the three heyday dynasties.
For the Huns, this is a godsend opportunity. If the three dynasties fight together, the Huns will definitely benefit more from it.
It is even possible to take back the Twelve Cities once again, not even the Twelve Cities, but more cities.
As for the Great Xia Dynasty.
It seems to know what the Huns are thinking.
On the same day, the Ministry of Rites also issued Zhaowen.
Once again, all the crimes of Buddhism, and then reprimanded the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty for their actions. The two dynasties have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Daxia.
The Ministry of War of Daxia also responded immediately. If there is a war, the Ministry of War will definitely send troops directly to fight with the two countries.
If the two dynasties dare to step into the territory of Daxia, it will be deemed that the two dynasties have declared war with the Daxia Dynasty.
No opportunity for explanation was given.
There must be a battle.
At the same time, the Huns will be targeted immediately, and 80 troops will be raised to fight against the border, stepping on the royal court, at all costs.
When the news came out, the Huns couldn't laugh anymore.
I thought that I could get benefits from it, but I didn't expect that the Great Xia Dynasty had already seen everything.
As long as there is a war, the Huns will be destroyed.
Don't give any chance.
Want to make a profit?wishful thinking.
As for the Ministry of War, only two words were passed up and down.
【Preparation】
No superfluous explanations, no superfluous nonsense.
All soldiers prepare for battle.
Sprinkle the blood on the battlefield and play the great power of the country.
This war is no longer a choice between fighting or not, but a choice between the majesty of a great power.
When will the Great Xia Dynasty get other dynasties to dictate?
Internal matters are resolved internally.
It's someone else's turn to intervene?
This is the bottom line of the dynasty.
And on this day.
It is less than a hundred miles away from Guiyang County.
Another thing happened.
Maybe it's because Buddhism is smart.
Outside Guiyang County, there is a Tianyun Temple. This temple is not particularly big, but for some unknown reason, all the monks from all the surrounding temples gather here.
The number is even more than before, there are more than 2 monks, but this time they have learned to be smart, and they did not set up firewood to wait for death.
Instead, the believers were called together and gathered around the temple.
I want to use the common people to stop the Great Xia cavalry.
This trick is very insidious.
Terrible too.
If it's just a simple extermination of Buddha, it doesn't matter, but if innocent people are involved, then the matter is not simple.
At that time, all forces will condemn the Great Xia Dynasty. Not only that, but if it is pushed down like before, Buddhism must have other means to attract celestial punishment.
So this trick is unsolvable.
This matter has also attracted the attention of countless forces, including the Great Xia Dynasty, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Eastern Desolation Kingdoms, and even the forces of the Central Continent Dynasty.
Especially the Great Xia court was extremely controversial.
If it were said, he was one-sided in supporting Gu Jinnian before.
But when it comes to this matter, there are too many people who oppose it.
With civilians around, it is true that you can't mess around. In the end, Emperor Yongsheng also issued a secret order to make Gu Jinnian think twice.
Innocent people are involved and no jokes are allowed.
Outside Tianyun Temple.
At least [-] believers gathered, and they sat back to back to form a circle, giving people a feeling of death.
There is no fear of Daxia Iron Cavalry.
The three thousand cavalry led by Wang Peng gathered here, their eyes full of anxiety and hesitation.
Faced with such a situation, Wang Peng didn't dare to act recklessly and could only wait for Gu Jinnian.
in this way.
About half an hour later.
Finally, a mighty army appeared.
It's Gu Jinnian.
He led [-] cavalry and arrived at Tianyun Temple.
Among the army.
Gu Jinnian has already learned about the situation of Tianyun Temple.
Use the flesh and blood of the people to stop the army cavalry.
This trick.
It is indeed cruel.
But this trick.
It is also useful.
Even Gu Jinnian had great hesitation and entanglement in his heart.
is to kill.
Still don't kill?
(End of this chapter)
"According to His Majesty's order, the army is assembled and prepared quickly to destroy the Buddha."
Accompanied by one after another of extremely passionate voices, outside the capital of Daxia, countless military camps erupted.
These soldiers are all ready to go, with high morale.
And in the Duke's mansion.
Gu Jinnian went straight to the old man's study. At this moment, the old man was also in the study, explaining some matters.
"grandfather."
Entering the study, Gu Jinnian called out.
At that moment, Mr. Gu nodded, and the soldiers in the study left one by one.
After waiting for the people to leave, Gu Jinnian looked at Mr. Gu and said.
"Grandpa, why did His Majesty appoint you to destroy Buddha this time?"
When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, he asked the old man.
Obviously he asked for his order, but His Majesty chose the old man to conquer Buddhism, which was not what he wanted to see.
Exterminate Buddha.
Not only the influence of reputation, but also the influence of the will of heaven and earth. After all, Buddhism has the blessing of destiny.
Destroying the Buddha directly will inevitably provoke the disgust of heaven and earth, but he has the mark of destiny, and he is not afraid of these.
His personal luck is indeed inferior to the entire Buddhist sect, but Gu Jinnian believes that his own luck can still suppress a Buddhist sect of Great Xia.
Hearing Gu Jinnian's doubts.
Mr. Gu looked calm.
"Grandpa and His Majesty have already discussed the matter. The matter of exterminating the Buddha is something His Majesty has always wanted to do. Grandpa is the Duke of the state. It is not for you, a junior, to bear the brunt of such a big matter."
"Jinnian, you are the future of Daxia. There are some things that we old guys should come forward."
"Stop rambling on this matter, the Great Xia Dynasty cannot be supported by one person."
"Quickly collect [-] elites, and do what you want to do. Your Majesty has an order. It is up to you to decide to destroy the Buddha this time. This is the Immortal Dao Messenger Talisman. It is worth ten thousand gold and is extremely precious. You only need to write on it Command, Grandpa will respond as soon as possible."
Mr. Gu took out a talisman paper and handed it to Gu Jinnian.
This is a messenger talisman, and its value is extremely precious. There are only two or three of them in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. They were reluctant to use them in the frontier battle, but now they are handed over to Gu Jinnian.
Mr. Gu will control Daxia Buddhist Gate immediately, and the next step is to wait for Gu Jinnian's order.
"Thirty thousand elite?"
"Grandpa, take these people?"
Gu Jinnian remained silent.
Thirty thousand elites seem to be a bit small.
"Thirty thousand is a lot."
"The main force is to control other Buddhist temples, and His Majesty invited Mr. Dongfang to accompany you."
Mr. Gu looked at his grandson angrily. There are indeed [-] elites, and they are an extremely powerful force. It is nothing to flatten a few Buddhist temples.
Moreover, Emperor Yongsheng even invited a peerless master to Gu Jinnian.
Mr. East.
"Mr. Dongfang? Is he the top three Eastern Sword Masters in the Dao of Swords?"
Hearing the words Mr. Dongfang, Gu Jinnian couldn't help being surprised.
"kindness."
"A strong man in the sixth realm of swordsmanship has only defeated one person in his life."
Old man Gu said lightly.
"Who?"
Gu Jinnian became curious. He had heard of this Mr. Dongfang, a peerless genius in swordsmanship.
The lineage of the way of the sword is a separate system. Since childhood, the sword has been cultivated with qi, and it has broken away from the immortal way. It's just that there are many people who follow the line of the way of the sword, but there are very few people who have truly achieved it.
There are many people walking, it is entirely because of the immortal way, they are more handsome and powerful, but there are very few people who can walk on this road, less than other systems.
"Old Man of Heavenly Demon."
Old man Gu opened his mouth slowly.
"what?"
Gu Jinnian really didn't expect that it would be the old man Tianmo, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Don't worry about these people. Their strength is unpredictable. They step into the sixth realm. When the destiny comes, these people have the hope of stepping into the seventh realm. In Jinnian, you should hurry up and improve your cultivation. Dynasty It won't hold you back much longer."
"Waiting for the battle of destiny, personal force will subvert everything. If one day, you can step into the eighth realm, everything in this world will be a cloud in your eyes, whether it is Daxia or Dajin, even the so-called invincible Central Continent Dynasty, in your eyes, is nothing more than mediocrity."
Old Master Gu spoke up and said this, telling Gu Jinnian to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, and not to put all his thoughts on the dynasty.
"Grandson understands, but this eighth level, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
Gu Jinnian understands this truth. When one's personal strength reaches its peak, one can be proud of the world.
But the problem is, let alone the eighth realm, the seventh realm today is an invincible existence. In an era, there are only those two or three people. Even according to what the old man Tianmo said, there is no real seventh realm in this world.
Those few survivors of the seventh realm were hiding one by one, and had only one chance to make a move, which showed how difficult the seventh realm was.
So in the eighth state, you can't think about it, but if you think about it, you don't have it.
"That's true."
"Okay, let's get ready."
"Jinnian, this time, since you're going to do it, just do it. You don't need to worry about anything, you know?"
Mr. Gu continued, telling Gu Jinnian to do it with confidence and to do it boldly.
"Grandson understands."
"But grandpa, you don't have to kill monks who have written blood books and returned to lay life. If you are obsessed with obsession, you should be killed."
Gu Jinnian nodded, since he had reached this point, he didn't say much, it was just to tell his own thoughts.
"Don't worry, grandpa has a measure."
Mr. Gu nodded, and Gu Jinnian also left the study directly and walked towards the outside of Gu's house.
Just walking out of Gu's house, a figure appeared in Gu Jinnian's eyes, it was Su Huaiyu.
He was waiting for himself at the door of Gu's house.
"Master Hou."
Su Huaiyu shouted.
"Brother Su, do you want to go together?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"kindness."
"Let's go for a walk. It is a great event to witness the fall of Buddhism."
"The [-] elite of the Tianyu Army are already waiting outside the capital."
Su Huaiyu nodded.
"it is good."
Gu Jinnian was unambiguous, and after agreeing, he and Su Huaiyu went directly outside the capital.
outside the city.
Not only the Tianyu Army's 50 troops, but also other military battalions drew [-] troops each, waiting in the distance.
"Subordinate Zhao Yu has met Lord Hou."
"Subordinate Wang Peng, I have seen Lord Hou."
"Subordinate Xu Jin, I have seen Lord Hou."
At this moment, the commander of the Tianyu Army came quickly, bringing a few soldiers, Xu Jin and Wang Peng were also among them, the two of them were placed in the Tianyu Army by Gu Jinnian, and their positions were still generals.
It was the same as in the Shankui Army before, except that the soldiers of the Tianyu Army knew that Wang Peng and Xu Jin were both Gu Jinnian's cronies, so they naturally had a certain prestige in the army, which was much better than in the Shankui Army.
"Master Hou, the [-] elites are ready, please order from Lord Hou."
Zhao Yu spoke, wearing iron armor.
"Walk."
"Go straight to Guiyang County, Puhan Temple."
"Wang Peng, I will check out all the temples along the way, and kill them one by one."
"Xu Jin, you lead three thousand elites, gallop forward, inform all the temples along the way, tell them, write a blood letter to return to vulgarity, the Great Xia Dynasty will give them a way out, if they are obsessed with obsession, wait for the army to approach, and kill them."
Gu Jinnian's voice was cold, and he issued two notices.
He wants to push it all the way, and there is no ancient temple anywhere.
"Follow the order."
The two clapped their hands in response, and then Xu Jin led [-] elites and galloped towards Guiyang County.
Gu Jinnian also rode on the horse, instead of sitting on the jade chariot, he wanted to fight in person.
In this way, the [-] troops rushed towards Guiyang County mightily.
The main hall in the palace.
Civil and military officials gathered.
The voice of controversy is great.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Buddha."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the Buddha is destroyed, it will definitely bring disaster to Daxia. Please take it back, Your Majesty."
"The Great Xia Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and it is inclusive of all rivers. Even if there are tens of thousands of Buddhists who are wrong, they should not be completely wiped out. If this is spread, it will be a crime for the world. Moreover, Buddhism is very powerful. Xia Miefo, I'm afraid it will make a big mistake."
In the court hall, several voices sounded, and the officials were still very resistant to destroying the Buddha.
After all, the Buddhism has not violated their interests, and the extermination of the Buddha is not a trivial matter, so they naturally want to stop it.
"Buddhism is expanding wantonly, and it doesn't respect the law, why can't it be destroyed?"
The voice of Gu Leng, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, sounded. Facing the crowd, Gu Leng directly stood up to support the extermination of Buddha.
"The expansion of Buddhism has a vague meaning of becoming the master of the Great Xia. Just a fairy gate will cause a lot of disputes. If the Buddhism becomes the master of the Great Xia, will the people listen to your Majesty or the Buddhist monks in the future? Word?"
"The old minister believes that the extinction of Buddha is imminent."
Yang Kai's voice also followed, and both the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites agreed to destroy the Buddha.
"In fact, the old minister believes that it is not necessary to destroy Buddhism. As long as Buddhism is willing to pay taxes and cancel some systems, it can be regarded as a kind of suppression. There is no need to completely destroy Buddha. Please think again, Your Majesty."
Hubu Shangshu He Yan followed suit. He agreed to exterminate the Buddha before, but now he has changed his mind. It seems that someone has approached him and discussed it.
Facing the words of hundreds of officials.
Emperor Yongsheng seemed calm, and after all the officials had finished speaking, Emperor Yongsheng's voice slowly sounded.
"I have made up my mind to destroy the Buddha."
He made a faint sound, making the hall extremely quiet.
"His Majesty."
"I believe that this matter is still inappropriate. Once the Buddha is destroyed in the Great Xia, the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty must use this as an excuse to criticize our Great Xia Dynasty, and the Buddhist forces will affect the world. After the Buddha is destroyed, I am afraid It will hurt the fortune of my Great Xia Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
At this moment, Li Shan's voice sounded. At this juncture, the emperor had already made up his mind, but Li Shan still tried to dissuade him.
It seems that the power of Buddhism has a great influence.
"I said, I have decided on this matter."
Emperor Yongsheng didn't show any expression, he just spoke again coldly.
At this moment, the hall was completely quiet, and even Li Shan was silent, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Emperor Yongsheng's voice sounded again.
"The matter of exterminating the Buddha will be handled by Lord Zhen Guo, so don't continue to discuss anything."
"Right now, there is another matter that I need to ask all my loves."
The matter of exterminating the Buddha is already firmly established, there is no need to persuade them, and the civil and military officials have nothing to say.
He is the emperor, he can decide.
All the officials were silent, at this moment they felt the oppression of Emperor Yongsheng, and this oppression was new.
From Gu Jinnian.
Yes, from Gu Jinnian.
In the past year, the great fortune of the Great Xia Kingdom has been prosperous, and the domestic situation has been improving day by day. The biggest enemy, the Xiongnu, has also been severely beaten, the twelve cities have been returned, and the prestige of Emperor Yongsheng has also increased.
The higher the emperor's prestige, the greater the power. Naturally, no one dared to say anything to Emperor Yongsheng.
If it was put a year ago, all the officials would have quarreled for three days and three nights about the extermination of Buddha, and even if Emperor Yongsheng insisted on exterminating Buddha, I am afraid that some people would die against him.
It's not that Emperor Yongsheng is weak, but because of various reasons, he has to worry about the thoughts of the ministers and his own reputation.
But it's different now.
What he says is what he says.
"In the Jiangnan area, this year's tax revenue is less than [-]% of last year's. I specifically checked it out. Since the founding of the country by Taizu, we have spent unprecedented national power to support the Jiangnan area. Why have the tax revenue decreased every year since I became the throne?"
"Dare to ask you dear ministers, why is this?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke up and mentioned another matter.
Jiangnan taxes.
This matter is not a trivial matter, and of course it is not something that happened recently, but since he took the throne, the entire Jiangnan tax has had a big problem, and the tax revenue has dropped every year.
It is obviously the most prosperous place, but in recent years, the taxes collected have become less and less. There are neither natural disasters nor man-made disasters. The imperial court allocates funds every year to build bridges and roads, and there are two big rivers in the Jiangnan area. accompany.
Theoretically, it does not say how much it will increase every year, but it will definitely not decrease.
There must be something tricky about this.
Moreover, it is definitely not a single star or half of the power involved. It is estimated that half of the civil and military officials in the court are involved.
Emperor Yongsheng understood.
But he couldn't bear it, because he couldn't spare his hands to deal with this matter. Now that he has time, background and strength, he naturally has to deal with this matter.
For a moment, the hall seemed extremely quiet, and no one dared to speak.
"He Aiqing, what do you think?"
Emperor Yongsheng continued to ask.
"Returning to Your Majesty, there are indeed many good fields in the Jiangnan area, and there are rivers, and the trade is prosperous. It's just that the taxes in the Jiangnan area have been reduced or exempted since the Taizu. Besides, my business tax in Daxia is not heavy. one."
"Moreover, the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are scattered, and most of them are scattered merchants. Although they seem to be prosperous, they are difficult to manage, so the tax revenue decreases every year."
He Yan spoke up and gave an official answer.
There is a reason for the tax reduction and exemption in the Jiangnan area. The Jiangnan area was originally the Southern Kingdom, and the monarch of the Southern Kingdom was generous and broad-minded.
The monarch of the southern kingdom has only one request, that is, after the founding of Daxia, he hopes that Taizu will treat the people of the southern kingdom kindly and reduce the grain tax.
Therefore, Taizu made an oath that 20 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the south of the Yangtze River will inevitably prosper and the grain tax will be reduced.
Later, the power of the whole country did make Jiangnan rich, but Jiangnan was rich, but the treasury was empty.
Also a tricky question.
However, after hearing what He Yan said, Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but sneered.
"It's really ridiculous."
"A sentence of improper management is the reason?"
"He Yan, I am now ordering you to reorganize the taxation in the Jiangnan area, and let me investigate thoroughly. If the officials in the Jiangnan area dare to collect taxes like this, there must be someone secretly covering up and colluding with officials and businessmen."
"After three months, if there is no result, your Minister of the Household Department will come to an end."
"Retreat."
Emperor Yongsheng got up, he said this coldly, and then left directly.
But this sentence made the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty fall into an ice cellar.
Especially He Yan.
I feel unprecedented pressure.
Although I don't know if Emperor Yongsheng used the Jiangnan taxation as a shield to destroy Buddha, but no matter what, Emperor Yongsheng was angry.
And at the same time.
It has been two hours since Gu Jinnian left Beijing.
Kyoto is four hundred miles away.
The army rushed to attack, and at the same time, there were voices of military reports.
"Hou Ye, Wang Peng sent information that within six hundred miles along the road, all the monks in the temples have returned to the secular world, but there is only one temple, and they will not leave."
Xu Jin opened his mouth to inform the situation ahead.
Wang Peng led three thousand elites to do things ahead of time.
"kill."
Gu Jinnian spoke lightly, without any emotion in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xu Jin didn't think much of it. Gu Jinnian had said before that he wanted to destroy the Buddha. If someone dared to seek death, they would not be afraid.
"Follow the order."
Xu Jin didn't talk too much, and immediately asked people to spread the information.
So, about an hour later.
In a temple, hundreds of monks have firm eyes. They sit in the temple without fear of anything, and the host even recites scriptures.
At this moment, Wang Peng's voice was extremely cold.
"Pass on the order of Lord Marquis."
"Those who do not follow will be killed without mercy!"
Following the icy voice, three thousand cavalry stepped directly into the temple.
The sword is ruthless, and blood splatters everywhere.
The screams sounded at this moment, and some monks showed panic.
"Host, host, didn't you say they were just scaring people?"
"Host, save me, save me."
"Amitabha, I am willing to return to vulgarity, I am willing to return to vulgarity."
In an instant, countless voices rang out from the temple. Some monks were completely panicked and frightened.
But Daxia's saber doesn't have any sympathy to speak of.
Military orders are like mountains.
In less than a quarter of an hour, one after another sound sounded.
"Report, General, there are no survivors in the whole temple."
As the voice sounded, Wang Peng spit on the ground on the war horse, and then spoke.
"Burn it clean, leave 20 people to post notices, and the rest follow me."
Without further ado, Wang Peng grabbed the reins and continued walking forward.
And so.
In a blink of an eye, a day passed.
The story of the extermination of the Buddha in the Great Xia capital has also been thoroughly spread throughout the entire Eastern Barren Territory, including the Buddhist sects.
All of a sudden, like a boulder, it smashed into the calm pool, causing huge ripples.
"There is nothing wrong with Buddhism, why destroy Buddha?"
"Buddhist monks, saving the souls of the dead, this is the righteous way of heaven and earth, why destroy Buddha?"
"Why do you want to kill Buddha?"
In the beginning, there were only some voices of doubt. Many people did not understand why Daxia destroyed the Buddha. In the eyes of the world, Buddhism did not do anything wrong. On the contrary, Buddhist monks would go to save the souls of the dead and solve problems for the people.
Naturally, people don't understand, even the people of Daxia don't understand.
But then, some remarks appeared, which was a deliberate move.
"Buddhism should never have offended Gu Jinnian."
"It's Gu Jinnian's grievances with the Buddhist sect, and the Buddhist sect is merciful. They don't want too many killings in this world, but they didn't expect that Gu Jinnian did not hesitate to slaughter a temple in order to make meritorious deeds, just to secure the position of Lord Marquis. , to destroy the Buddha."
"Because of one's own selfish desires, launching an extermination of Buddhas, this is the style of the first prince of the Great Xia? If you really have the ability, why don't you go to exterminate the demons? Exterminate the demons?"
"Not to mention, it is rumored that Gu Jinnian, the first Marquis of Great Xia, is related to the peerless powerhouse of the Demon Sect."
"seriously?"
"More than that, it's rumored that Gu Jinnian didn't get enlightened by accident, but that a strong man from the Demon Sect teamed up with him to steal other people's talents and enlighten him. Therefore, Gu Jinnian is so talented. become so intelligent?"
"It's really possible. Just look at Gu Jinnian's current situation. It's full of killings."
Many voices sounded.
Most of these voices were intentional, someone came forward to confuse the public.
However, there is no shortage of wise men in this world.
Many people also spoke out, telling the truth about Buddhism, carefully analyzing the reasons for the extermination of Buddhism, and saying a lot of good things for Gu Jinnian.
But unfortunately, this voice was ignored by this group of people.
The reason is very simple, this group of people deliberately set the rhythm, and they benefited by pouring dirty water on Gu Jinnian.
However, the number of this group of people was not many after all, and the Great Xia Dynasty also issued an imperial edict when rumors spread.
List the top ten crimes of Buddhism, and then make it known to the world.
The most serious faults of Buddhism are three.
One, no taxation.
The Buddhist enclosure is approved by the dynasty, basically there will not be too much land, just enough for one's own food and drink.
But the Buddhist sect wantonly encloses land. This is the fish and meat people in disguise, greedy for the Daxia treasury.
Second, the labor force is reduced.
Young people become monks instead of plowing land or farming, which seems to be the right way in the world, but if everyone becomes a monk, who will farm the land?Where does food come from?Does the country still need to develop?
The third is to collect money.
The people's silver and silver were sent to the merit box one after another, but how many natural and man-made disasters happened in Daxia?How much has been donated by Buddhism in China?
These silver taels were not taken by these Buddhists to eat, drink and enjoy themselves?
These three are the most serious. After the imperial decree was announced, the situation reversed instantly, and many people recognized the imperial decree.
Support extermination of Buddha.
It's just that the situation of public opinion has been controlled, but other situations have occurred.
When the imperial decree was announced to the world, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, and the envoys of many small countries in the Eastern Barren Territory jointly put pressure on the Great Xia Dynasty.
It is believed that the Buddha must never be destroyed.
It's against the law.
In particular, the Fuluo Dynasty had the toughest attitude.
At this moment.
Inside the Daxia Palace.
The envoys of various countries stood in the middle of the hall, and the envoys of the Fuluo Dynasty took the lead and spoke to Emperor Yongsheng.
"Holy."
"Big Xia must never destroy Buddha. Buddhism is a practice recognized by heaven and earth. They have the blessing of destiny and luck. If Daxia destroys Buddha, it will definitely reduce the country's fortune."
"More than that, if Daxia really destroys the Buddha, this luck will affect the entire Eastern Barren Territory, and then natural disasters and man-made disasters will come to all countries. For such consequences, dare to ask the Great Xia, can you take responsibility?"
The envoys of Fuluo have a very tough attitude, giving people the feeling that they are not here to discuss, but to ask questions.
"Bold."
"You guys are really presumptuous. How dare you speak so loudly when you see my great Xia sage?"
Gu Leng's voice sounded from the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
He scolded Fuluo's envoy with cold eyes.
A mere envoy, meeting the Great Xia, actually made such a loud noise in the court?This is the crime of disrespect.
Facing Gu Leng's reprimand, Fu Luo's envoy frowned slightly, and he did so only out of desperation.
But at this moment, the Dajin envoy spoke up.
"My lord Daxia, Fuluo's envoys are in a hurry to do this. Please forgive me. With the spirit of your lord, you shouldn't care about me and these ministers."
"My lord Daxia, His Majesty Dajin hopes that this matter can be reconciled, and I hope Daxia will not destroy the Buddha."
The Dajin envoy immediately came out to smooth things over. He bowed to Emperor Yongsheng, and then expressed the thoughts of the Dajin Dynasty.
on the dragon chair.
Emperor Yongsheng was expressionless.
Indeed, he didn't care about the attitude of these envoys, and he wasn't so narrow-minded, but that didn't mean the other party could yell like that.
"reconcile?"
"Conciliation again?"
"Twelve cities on the border, you want to reconcile. Now that the Buddha is destroyed in Daxia, do you still want to reconcile?"
"This is the state affairs of Great Xia. When will it be your turn to intervene? The hand of the Great Jin Dynasty must have stretched too far, right?"
"Is it understandable that all the kingdoms come here today, you are here to threaten me? To threaten the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Emperor Yongsheng looked at these people with a cold face, and said so.
"Please calm down the anger of the Great Xia, we naturally don't have such intentions."
"It's just that the matter of destroying the Buddha involves too much. If the Buddha is really destroyed, it will only affect the Great Xia Dynasty. We will not say a word. This is the state affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty. We will not participate, but if the Great Xia Dynasty is destroyed Buddha, bring about natural disasters."
"It involves the Eastern Barren Territory, my Majesty, what should I do?"
"Does it mean that the Great Xia Dynasty will pay compensation? If the Holy Majesty means this, I will leave immediately and return to my country."
The other party opened his mouth, and he was extremely tricky and sharp, using this way to meddle in this matter.
"ridiculous."
"The Great Jin Dynasty has done a lot of things like this. In the second year of the Great Xia Kaiyuan, the Great Jin Dynasty released floods, which caused countless people to drown on both sides of the Great Xia Dynasty. Dare I ask if the Great Jin Dynasty compensated our Great Xia Dynasty? ?”
The voice of Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites sounded, and he stood up without hesitation and asked about this matter.
Hearing this, the Fuluo envoy couldn't help but speak out.
"How many years ago did this happen? Furthermore, this was not done intentionally by the Dajin Dynasty. After all, if there is no flood discharge, there will be more casualties, and my Fuluo Dynasty will also suffer a lot of casualties. These are two different things and cannot be confused."
The Fuluo envoy spoke.
The Dajin Dynasty was right when it did something wrong.
If the Daxia Dynasty did something wrong, it was wrong.
Moreover, this is still an internal matter of the Great Xia Dynasty. Who can decide whether it is right or wrong?
Hearing this, the complexions of all civil and military officials in the court changed, and they cursed Fuluo envoys one by one in their hearts.
"You Fuluo people, what does it matter to me whether you die or not? You are willing to be dogs, but my Daxia Dynasty is not willing."
Yang Kai's voice sounded, and he couldn't hold it back, angrily scolding the other party.
This statement came out.
Man Chao was surprised, he really didn't expect Yang Kai to say such a thing.
In the past, Yang Kai could be regarded as gentle and polite, especially in the diplomacy of big countries, he was polite, and his words had to be weighed repeatedly, and he would never talk nonsense.
But I didn't expect to see a transgender look now.
Indeed, after saying this, Yang Kai himself didn't realize it, and then he didn't wait for Fu Luo's envoy to criticize him, and took the initiative to speak out.
"Your Majesty, the old minister's words were inappropriate just now. It may be because he was too close to Jinnian. Please forgive me."
Yang Kai said, his words were not evasion, but the truth.
"It's really not good to say something like this in the court, okay, I'll punish you for copying my poetry collection twenty times."
Regarding Yang Kai's words, Emperor Yongsheng sounded very comfortable.
So a symbolic penalty was given casually.
All the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but want to laugh. Isn't this an obvious bully?
However, right now.
A figure appeared outside.
"Report!"
"The scouts came to report that the army arrived at Yangnong Mansion. There are twelve temples in this mansion. The monks from the twelve temples gathered together. There are 290 monks in total. , the Marquis of Destiny has just arrived."
A figure appeared, and then reported the things ahead.
More than 3000 monks gathered in twelve monasteries and actively accumulated dry firewood. This is to fight Daxia.
And the Marquis of Tianming had just arrived, and he didn't know what the result would be.
For a while, there was some silence in the hall.
The envoys of various countries were also a little silent.
They were curious about what Gu Jinnian would do.
More than 1 monks.
If this is really killing, it is not a trivial matter.
Because so far, in fact, the major forces are still not sure whether Da Xia really wants to destroy the Buddha, or use this opportunity to frighten the Buddhist sect.
If it is to frighten the Buddhist sect, then it is actually okay, not many monks can be killed, just to teach a lesson.
If it is true to destroy the Buddha, it will not only affect the Great Xia, but the entire Eastern Wilderness, and even more forces will be involved.
The hall is quiet.
About two quarters of an hour later, another figure appeared.
It seemed extremely hasty.
Everyone in the main hall held their breath, waiting for the following.
"Report."
"The Marquis of Destiny has left Yangnong Mansion."
As the voice sounded, all kinds of emotions arose in everyone's hearts all of a sudden.
Fuluo envoys and Dajin envoys were secretly relieved, after all, they did not kill.
If he really wants to kill, Donghuang will boil.
It also means that Daxia is really going to use a knife.
That's not negotiation.
Countries may have to step in.
As for Emperor Yongsheng, he couldn't help frowning slightly. What's the meaning of Gu Jinnian's leaving?
"Where are the monks?"
Gu Leng asked the latter.
"Returning to my lord, according to the estimated time, those monks have all been sent back to the west by Lord Hou."
The latter answered.
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
This super-return to the west is very spiritual.
"Over 3000 monks, all of them have been saved?"
Some officials couldn't help swallowing, looked at each other and asked.
"This subordinate doesn't know. The information I got is that Marquis Tianming came to the temple and ordered the soldiers to set fire to save these monks."
The latter said with his head down.
He wasn't sure.
But everyone in the hall is not a fool, since they dare to light a fire, they will not let anyone go.
hiss.
hiss.
In the main hall, the sound of breathing sounded one after another.
Whether it is civil and military officials, or envoys from various countries.
Everyone was stunned.
With more than 3000 monks, Gu Jinnian killed as soon as he said it, which is really bold.
"Major Great Xia, this must not be the case."
"Please ask the holy decree to suspend the extermination of the Buddha first, otherwise it will cause heaven's resentment."
At this moment, the Dajin envoys and the Fuluo envoys hurriedly said that these [-] monks were definitely just an appetizer, and if they continued to let them go like this, they might really be wiped out.
"To shut up!"
On the dragon chair, when he learned that Gu Jinnian had made a move, Emperor Yongsheng got up directly. He looked at the group of envoys from various countries under the hall, and said with a cold face.
"It is not the turn of other countries to intervene in the affairs of the Great Xia state. I have made up my mind, and you can go back and report to the kings of other countries."
"Whether it's Fuluo or Dajin, there will be a battle."
"Retreat."
Emperor Yongsheng's tone was cold.
This is his last announcement.
Also final remarks.
Take care of your own housework. Besides, if you stretch your hands too far, you will be easily beaten.
As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the envoys from various countries became a little unsightly.
"Long live, long live, my emperor."
Civil and military officials also gave the strongest response at this moment. Since the emperor has made a decision, these courtiers will not sing against it.
Especially in front of outsiders.
This is the spirit of a great country.
It's decided, it's decided.
in this way.
Another day passed.
The news of the burning of the temple spread instantly. None of the more than 3000 monks survived.
They disobeyed and disrespected.
This is what happens.
All of a sudden, when this news came out, discussions in the entire Eastern Barren Territory were triggered, and the three major Buddhist sects couldn't sit still.
"Big Xia's move is against the laws of heaven."
"What's the difference between such behaviors, such as demons? Destiny, if you want to kill too much, you will be punished by heaven."
"Looking at Emperor Daxia, think twice, put down the butcher knife, and become a Buddha immediately."
The three major temples expressed their position at the first time.
The meaning of these three sentences is also very direct.
Xiaoyuan Temple is emotional, but also angry.
Dayin Temple angrily reprimanded directly, and even pointed the signs at Gu Jinnian.
As for ascending Tantra, his attitude is also the most profound.
Let the Great Xia Dynasty stop now, and there are still discussions. If you persist in your obsession, Buddhism may have to do it.
The performance of Buddhism, in the eyes of many forces, is extremely abnormal. When this kind of thing happened, the three major Buddhist schools only shouted a few words, but did not actually intervene.
It is full of doubts.
The Dajin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty also expressed their attitudes at the first time.
The Fuluo Dynasty led 50 troops to the border, hoping that the Daxia Dynasty would calm down. If necessary, the Fuluo Dynasty would do its best to save the Buddhist monks of Daxia.
The Dajin Dynasty led 50 troops and rushed to the border, calling on the Daxia Dynasty to hold talks with Buddhism instead of killing.
Both the two dynasties have already sent troops, and things have reached this point, although they are still under control.
But no matter what everyone knows, if a war really starts accidentally, no one will be able to control the situation at that time, it will only become more and more intense, and it is very likely to trigger a war in the Eastern Wilderness.
The war between the three heyday dynasties.
For the Huns, this is a godsend opportunity. If the three dynasties fight together, the Huns will definitely benefit more from it.
It is even possible to take back the Twelve Cities once again, not even the Twelve Cities, but more cities.
As for the Great Xia Dynasty.
It seems to know what the Huns are thinking.
On the same day, the Ministry of Rites also issued Zhaowen.
Once again, all the crimes of Buddhism, and then reprimanded the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty for their actions. The two dynasties have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Daxia.
The Ministry of War of Daxia also responded immediately. If there is a war, the Ministry of War will definitely send troops directly to fight with the two countries.
If the two dynasties dare to step into the territory of Daxia, it will be deemed that the two dynasties have declared war with the Daxia Dynasty.
No opportunity for explanation was given.
There must be a battle.
At the same time, the Huns will be targeted immediately, and 80 troops will be raised to fight against the border, stepping on the royal court, at all costs.
When the news came out, the Huns couldn't laugh anymore.
I thought that I could get benefits from it, but I didn't expect that the Great Xia Dynasty had already seen everything.
As long as there is a war, the Huns will be destroyed.
Don't give any chance.
Want to make a profit?wishful thinking.
As for the Ministry of War, only two words were passed up and down.
【Preparation】
No superfluous explanations, no superfluous nonsense.
All soldiers prepare for battle.
Sprinkle the blood on the battlefield and play the great power of the country.
This war is no longer a choice between fighting or not, but a choice between the majesty of a great power.
When will the Great Xia Dynasty get other dynasties to dictate?
Internal matters are resolved internally.
It's someone else's turn to intervene?
This is the bottom line of the dynasty.
And on this day.
It is less than a hundred miles away from Guiyang County.
Another thing happened.
Maybe it's because Buddhism is smart.
Outside Guiyang County, there is a Tianyun Temple. This temple is not particularly big, but for some unknown reason, all the monks from all the surrounding temples gather here.
The number is even more than before, there are more than 2 monks, but this time they have learned to be smart, and they did not set up firewood to wait for death.
Instead, the believers were called together and gathered around the temple.
I want to use the common people to stop the Great Xia cavalry.
This trick is very insidious.
Terrible too.
If it's just a simple extermination of Buddha, it doesn't matter, but if innocent people are involved, then the matter is not simple.
At that time, all forces will condemn the Great Xia Dynasty. Not only that, but if it is pushed down like before, Buddhism must have other means to attract celestial punishment.
So this trick is unsolvable.
This matter has also attracted the attention of countless forces, including the Great Xia Dynasty, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Eastern Desolation Kingdoms, and even the forces of the Central Continent Dynasty.
Especially the Great Xia court was extremely controversial.
If it were said, he was one-sided in supporting Gu Jinnian before.
But when it comes to this matter, there are too many people who oppose it.
With civilians around, it is true that you can't mess around. In the end, Emperor Yongsheng also issued a secret order to make Gu Jinnian think twice.
Innocent people are involved and no jokes are allowed.
Outside Tianyun Temple.
At least [-] believers gathered, and they sat back to back to form a circle, giving people a feeling of death.
There is no fear of Daxia Iron Cavalry.
The three thousand cavalry led by Wang Peng gathered here, their eyes full of anxiety and hesitation.
Faced with such a situation, Wang Peng didn't dare to act recklessly and could only wait for Gu Jinnian.
in this way.
About half an hour later.
Finally, a mighty army appeared.
It's Gu Jinnian.
He led [-] cavalry and arrived at Tianyun Temple.
Among the army.
Gu Jinnian has already learned about the situation of Tianyun Temple.
Use the flesh and blood of the people to stop the army cavalry.
This trick.
It is indeed cruel.
But this trick.
It is also useful.
Even Gu Jinnian had great hesitation and entanglement in his heart.
is to kill.
Still don't kill?
