Chapter 587 Forced Donation (4) [Debt Repayment 1/40]

In the next few days, the quality warehouses of the Bianjing temples were all in terrible condition.

As long as they dare to open the door, they will be beaten up!

The perpetrators are rampant and vicious.

The biased public opinion is extremely unfavorable to them.

Most of the passers-by who were watching were indifferent, and some even clapped their hands and applauded.

Occasionally, devout believers tried to protect the monks, but were beaten severely instead.

The local government pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't care at all.

Even if he complained to Kaifeng Mansion and Seng Lu Division, the other party would spread his hands and say: This is what a righteous man did in anger! So he sent these monks away.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, prison is judged, and original intention is condemned. This has been the constitution of Confucianism since ancient times.

Therefore, these people are very curled up.

A large-scale cleaning began inside and outside the temple.

Everyone knows that without support, the crows would never dare to attack the royal temple.

Then, the capital hall began to end, and Zhang Xun, the minister Zuocheng, was sent to the ancestral hall for the time being.

However, it is still impeccable for the government to use the Spring and Autumn Prison Judgment as an excuse.

Because this is called public order and good customs, and social justice.

Li Zhiqi, a member of the ancestral hall, immediately apologized and begged to go out.

A large number of subordinate officials in the temple department were found to have accepted bribes and had affairs with monks.

However, these are only secondary.

However, these royal temples have closed their doors one by one.

Because they can participate in the imperial examination, and according to the policy, as long as they can be promoted to rank officials, they can participate in the lock-in examination that only officials can participate in.

They may always take advantage of others, but when it comes to matters of right and wrong, they are all selfless.

The angry monks barely managed to faint.

These people finally couldn't sit still. They originally wanted to have royal connections.

Immediately, Daxiangguo Temple announced that the Qiku was temporarily closed and would be subject to review by Dahonglu, the Ministry of Rites, and the capital hall.

Although after Wang Anshi's political reform in the Song Dynasty, the criminal system began to favor legal regulations and advocated criminalization by law.

If you do something dirty, you should be prepared to be beaten!
Some officials even said something like: "The righteous man did not kill anyone, he was very restrained!"

The abbot and monk leaders of the temple suddenly fell into panic.

It's not something that a subordinate official can compare with.

Not only is he not guilty, but he is meritorious!
Who told you to do something shameful?

All were transferred to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and were severely punished in accordance with the provisions of the Cang Law.

As the date of the examination draws closer, the crusade against the Qiku by the government and the people becomes increasingly fierce.

At the same time, a large number of officials from the Senglu Division were transferred to the Temple Department.

Go to Qi Huang Jian Yuan, Hongfu Zen Monastery or even Chongzhen Zisheng Zen Monastery.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the year Guisi, Huangfu Qi, the Left Counselor, impeached the Ministry of Shrines for accepting bribes from monks.

At the same time, the political stance is extremely stable.

With no other choice, these monks had no choice but to come to Kaibao Temple one by one and ask to see the chief minister.

And Daxiangguo Temple is the number one temple in the world.

On the ninth day of Jiawu (Jiawu), Li Zhiqi went out to know Chenzhou on Jinghu South Road as Cheng Yilang.

This is very fragrant!

Not only does it have the largest quality warehouse in Bianjing, but it also has the Wan surname trading conference, one of the three major cities in Bianjing.

To ask means to practice in seclusion without seeing outsiders.

The storm began to intensify.

Now, the crows at Yushitai have begun to bite this royal temple.

This is demotion!

……

Therefore, Daxiangguo Temple is recognized as the richest temple in the world.

On Renchen of the eighth month (the seventh day of the lunar month), the censor Zhang Ruxian was impeached by the Grand Prime Minister Temple. As a member of the royal family, he served in the temple and competed with the people for profit. He was good at setting up treasuries and grabbing people's wealth.

Until this time, they finally knew they were afraid.

Suddenly, the entire Bianjing capital began to shake!
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, officials, queens, and queen mothers of all dynasties have offered incense and offered incense to Buddha, either at Kaibao Temple, Daxiangguo Temple, or Taiping Xingguo Temple.

These officials passed the examination rather than entering the officialdom hereditary.

"Amitabha!"

President Jin saw these things on the iron tower of Kaibao Temple, and the presiding officers and chief ministers were now in a state of embarrassment.

He couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"

These days, the city of Bianjing is turbulent.

A large number of rumors that are not conducive to these temples are spreading wildly in Wazi Goulan.

The participants are not just idlers and scoundrels from Bianjing.

There are also wild monks and wandering monks in the capital.

These monks without official status have been ostracized by major temples in the past. They can only set up temples privately to recruit believers and spread their faith quietly.

Now, when they got the opportunity, they raised their fists one by one and beat up the major temples.

With the participation and endorsement of these people.

The current public opinion in Bianjing is extremely unfavorable to the temples.

Especially temples with quality libraries are almost in a situation where everyone is shouting and beating them.

And the source of all this is obviously because these monks did not give enough face to the emperor!

You must know that since the emperor issued the edict, all three religions and nine schools inside and outside Bianjing have actively donated money to help the Huainan disaster.

Today, it is said that the total donation, in copper coins alone, has exceeded 500,000 yuan!

Prime ministers, elders, relatives, and nobles donated generously.

No one donated less than Qian Guan.

The merchants in Bianjing were even more anxious for justice and helped Huainan one after another.

Not only donated money, but also donated a lot of cloth and clothing.

In the religious world, Taoist temples such as Youshen Temple, Chongzhen Temple, Yanzhen Temple, etc. donated money and materials one after another. Taoist priests even set up stalls in the streets of Beijing to tell fortunes for the people and donated all their proceeds to Huainan.

Niubi people from Taoist temples enshrined by the royal family such as Zhong Taiyi Palace, Xi Taiyi Palace, Jixi Temple, and Wuyue Temple have even formed a group to go to Huainan to open altars and pray for the unfortunate victims of the disaster.

What about Buddhism?
President Jin sadly discovered that as of today, he is the only one among the major temples who has taken the initiative to request to go to Huainan to do his best for the victims.

And the major temples have not even received the money they originally promised to donate.

A lot, but only 30% or 50% of what was originally promised was paid.

But other sects paid in full!

The five thousand strings that the Nestorian monk Tusha sent to Xuande's disciples were delivered to him with his own eyes.

I heard that the monks of the Dashi Cult also gave out some bits and pieces of money.

The most exaggerated thing is that a Hu temple that has almost never been heard of called "Yi Yi Le Ji" also delivered a cart full of copper coins to Kaifeng Mansion yesterday with the beating of gongs and drums.

Those ambitious wild monks also jumped out.

Try every means to gain a sense of presence.

Compared with these people, the Buddhist temples were not only slow to respond and lost a lot of points, but also had an extremely improper attitude.

Well now, the palace is angry.

I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to end.

However, looking at these respectful monks in front of him, they thought about the great cause of spreading and spreading the Dharma.

President Kim could only sigh helplessly: "You must realize your mistake!"

The host and monk leaders are all scared out of their wits now.

The main thing is, those scoundrels really fight! Several hosts had their butts swollen from beatings.

As for the government, they are sharpening their knives, which makes them even more frightened.

How have these abbots and monk leaders ever seen such a battle where the whole world is against them?

no way!
This is related to their origin.

Those who built the temple under the imperial edict were all members of the system.

Under the leadership and management of the temple, it has official recognition and support.

It has a long history and a high status.

Most of the abbots and monk heads are hereditary.

The succession from father to son may have passed, but it is normal for uncles, nephews, and uncles to have grandchildren.

Therefore, they have not experienced any storms, and their skills are focused on making money and doing business.

They never imagined, and could not possibly imagine, that one day, the government, which originally supported them and was their protective umbrella, would suddenly change its attitude and punch their faces.

Therefore, when word came out in the court that they were going to be tested on their Dharma, they only panicked for a moment and continued laughing and joking.

Even if the court issued an edict and called for donations.

Even if President Kim puts pressure on them to donate.

They still went their own way and didn't take it seriously.

They didn't panic until the iron fist touched their faces.

Especially after it happened yesterday that he wanted to become a monk and actually got into a prison car and was sent to Leizhou.

The fear in their hearts finally overwhelmed everything.

The purple-robed monks were all exiled.

What are they?

As a result, everyone in front of Mr. Jin lost their reserve and bowed their heads one after another: "We all follow Master's instructions!"

"We will donate as much as the master tells us to donate."

Now, they can't survive without bleeding.

Because the people and the government have already taken a stance.

Moreover, our quality warehouse has been afraid to open its doors for several days.

As a result, those who had deposited their money in the treasury began to withdraw funds one after another.

Especially the big players don't give them face at all.

No matter how much they begged, they took the documents from the pledge bank and forcibly withdrew the money.

The run has already begun.

At this time, rumors arose in the public that the officials of the current government, in order to benefit the people, split the four pawnshops in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Bianjing into more than ten different pawnshops, and then bought them to show the selflessness of the Heavenly Family. Do not compete with the people for profit.

When the news came out, people inside and outside were excited, and countless people shouted: Long live the Holy Emperor!
The luxurious families and dignitaries in Bianjing are already gearing up to resist.

The great monks woke up from a dream, and finally understood why the major guilds, main stores, and the thugs who extravagantly covered people's homes and raised them were so "righteously indignant", and why they only destroyed the quality warehouse!
Emotions, these guys have already gotten the news.

Everything they do is aimed at destroying the temple's warehouse and then doing the business themselves!
Blocking someone's way of making money is like killing your parents.

Now that Qiku is preventing these people from getting rich, how can these people not punish Qiku to death?
President Jin looked at these people, sighed, and said, "You all go back, count the money, and then each report the amount."

"Repay as much as you can and don't be stingy."

"In addition, I will spend an extra amount of money... as poor monks, as well as monks such as Tian Jixiang (this person is a disciple of Richi and also from Tianzhu), Xianchao and others, go south to Huainan next month to pray for blessings, salvation, and liberation for all living beings. Used for comfort and comfort."

That was all he could say.

The rest depends on the luck and sincerity of these people.

Anyway, President Jin felt that this time, the abbots and monk leaders in Bianjing would probably not be able to survive the storm.

It would be nice to keep some dignity.

……

Funing Hall.

Zhao Xu took the pen and copied the original "Mid-Autumn Tie" written by Mi Fu that Feng Jing recently bought for him in the market in Bianjing and returned to the palace.

This is a copy of Wang Xianzhi's original work copied by Mi Fu.

There is also the signature of Baojinzhai on it.

It can be regarded as the work of Mi Fu when he was young, although it has not yet reached the level of superb calligraphy in his later years.

But it is also a rare masterpiece.

Such book stickers would be worth at least tens of millions in modern times.

But now, because of Mi Fu's reputation, it is not loud enough.

So it was very cheap - Feng Jing bought a dozen of Mi Fu's original calligraphy stickers, and the total cost was less than 500 guan.

Speaking of Mi Fu, this good friend of Su Shi took the initiative to request to be an official in Dengzhou at the end of last year.

Then it got its wish.

Now, Yi Chengyi Lang is serving as the general judge of Dengzhou, and he finally joins the team with Su Shi.

Speaking of which, Dengzhou now is full of stars.

The person in charge was Su Shi, the judge was Mi Fu, and the official was Zhang Shunmin. Yes, it was Zhang Shunmin whose works were often confused with Su Shi's.

This person's mouth is as bad as Su Shi's.

He is always carefree and likes to express his opinions directly.

Therefore, his official career was bumpy and he was often demoted.

Fortunately, he has a good benefactor - Gao Zunyu recommended him to Zhao Xu in his last note last year.

Zhao Xu casually arranged for him to go to Dengzhou to work with Su Shi.

Not only that, the officials below Dengzhou are also people with bright articles.

The magistrate of Wendeng County is Qin Guan, and the magistrate of Penglai County is Li Gefei...

Zhao Xu feels that a few hundred years later, Dengzhou will not only compete with Changzhou and Meizhou for the former residence of Su Dongpo.

There will also be numerous memorials.

Just these few people now can support Dengzhou tourism for several years.

The key is that there are still people who are ready to follow Su Shi.

Typical examples are Su Shi's fans such as Huang Tingjian and Chao Buzhi.

In addition, Yan Jidao heard that he also planned to visit Dengzhou.

In addition, Su Che, Su Song, Sun Gu, and Zhang Fangping may go to Dengzhou to visit Su Shi during their vacation.

In short, as long as Su Shi is in Dengzhou, Zhao Xu feels that he will soon be able to gather half of the cultural context of Yuanyou's era.

This is the terrifying influence of the literary giant and the huge effectiveness of his IP.

No need for Zhao Xu to mobilize.

Those officials and literati who admired Su Shi, as well as wealthy businessmen who wanted to be the top brother, ran over automatically and consciously, bringing with them a huge amount of resources, wealth and manpower.

Placing one Su Shi in Dengzhou is equivalent to saving Zhao Xu more than one million yuan in publicity, mobilization and construction costs.

so! We still have to find a way to let him go to Yazhou and Leizhou.

Otherwise, what will the people of Hainan do?
Otherwise, find a way to get him to scold me?

Or, find fault with his article, play a game of literary inquisition, and then pretend to forgive or pardon him afterwards?
After thinking about it, Zhao Xu felt that this was a bit silly, so he had better discuss it with Su Shi when his term in Dengzhou was over and he returned to the court.

The worst thing is, give him a senior official!
After copying a copybook, Zhao Xu put down his brush, turned around, and saw Shi Deyi appearing beside him.

"Is something wrong?" Zhao Xu asked.

"To report back to everyone, today's briefing from the Detective Department has been released."

"Oh!" Zhao Xu stretched out his hand, and Shi Deyi handed a thin booklet to his hand.

Briefing, this is what Zhao Xu learned in modern times.

Let the Detective Department summarize the daily intelligence and then briefly summarize the key points of the intelligence into one sentence.

If you meet someone you are interested in, just ask Shi Deyi, and for others, just take a look.
