Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 726 Attacking Buddhism

When Tang Fu entered the palace, Lao Zhu saw his brother's son, and his mood improved a little.

Putting aside the collusion between Xungui and the landlord for the time being, he let Tang Fu chat with him for a long time. Seeing that Tang Fu's body felt a little unable to hold on, he was sent to send Tang Fu back.

Then I solemnly instruct the people at the People's Hospital to take good care of Tang Fu and not let Tang Fu's health deteriorate.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very concerned about Tang He's brother's son and his nephew. In addition, Tang He was very sensible and never caused trouble to him, so he was even more concerned.

After seeing off Tang Fu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to Jiming Temple to bring the monk Yuankong.

This was the first time Yuankong entered the palace. When he heard that His Majesty was looking for him, his legs suddenly became weak and he almost didn't have the strength to walk. After all, the incident in the Buddhist temple was in a heated discussion. Judging from His Majesty's thoughts, he must pursue it to the end. .

After this investigation, I am afraid that all the Buddhist temples in the Ming Dynasty will be investigated again.

Yuankong felt that the first thing His Majesty would do was his own Jiming Temple, but he had checked the Jiming Temple himself and found that under the emperor's feet, no one at the top or bottom would dare to do such illegal things.

Jiming Temple was okay for the time being, and Yuankong didn't feel guilty. He was just nervous and scared. He entered the palace tremblingly, not knowing why His Majesty summoned him.

"The poor monk Yuankong, pays homage to His Majesty, and pays homage to His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor!"

Yuankong came to Lao Zhu and knelt down after hesitating.

"Get up!"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew long ago that Jiming Temple did not dare to do that kind of thing, so he was a little polite to Yuankong.

Otherwise, instead of being invited into the palace, Jin Yiwei would be asked to come in with shackles and shackles, and then the entire Jiming Temple would be sealed off, and all the monks who should be captured would be captured.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yuankong said, then stood up and stood with a bow.

He kept turning the rosary beads in his hand and kept chanting "Amitabha" silently in his heart, praying that he would be fine. This was the first time he had such devout faith in Buddha.

"You must know about the Buddhist temple, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Yuankong nodded quickly and said: "The poor monk already knows this, but please rest assured, your majesty, the Jiming Temple of the poor monk will never break the law, let alone help officials evade taxes. Please give me a clear warning."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "We also know that you dare not do this. If it were you, what do you think we should do with your Buddhist temple?"

"Poor monk...poor monk..."

Yuan Kong was speechless.

He didn't know what to do with it either.

These are already related to state affairs. How can he, a great monk, dare to discuss state affairs.

Zhu Xuan said: "It seems that the master still doesn't know why Grandpa Huang asked you to come in."

Yuankong almost wanted to cry. Who knows the reason? You and your grandson are the Riddler. He hesitated and said: "The poor monk is stupid and doesn't understand anything."

At the same time, he can rest assured that the tone of His Majesty and His Highness is calm, and no anger can be heard. This means that they will not pursue too much. It should be that there is something that needs to be done by himself.

"We plan to cancel all the privileges of Buddhist temples, including the removal of monk officials."

Zhu Xuan said calmly: "I believe that Master has also seen it. In the Ming Dynasty, your Buddhist sect seems to be unable to make much contribution. When it comes to guiding people to do good, we don't see how to guide people. We only see Buddhist temples doing evil, right?" "

Yuankong felt uneasy in his heart and did not dare to speak.

"In two days, you take the initiative to propose a strict inspection of all Buddhist temples in the world, cancel the privileges of all Buddhist temples, collect taxes in accordance with the law, and severely punish all Buddhist temples that collude with noble officials."

"Catch those who deserve to be caught."

"Kill whatever needs to be killed."

"And strictly manage Buddhism and let the court control Buddhism."

"The master is in charge of Jiming Temple and should have a certain status in Buddhism."

"It would be best if you brought this matter up, what do you think?"

Zhu Xuan helped Zhu Yuanzhang and told him what to do.

Yuankong listened, feeling wailing in his heart.

What he's doing is putting himself out there to stand out.

If he dares to propose this, he will become a public enemy of Buddhism. In the future, all Buddhists will ostracize him and Jiming Temple. His identity will not be recognized and his reputation will be extremely bad.    But, if you don’t agree...

Yuankong raised his head slightly and took a peek at Lao Zhu, whose face was ashen at this moment. There was a tremor in his heart.

If he didn't agree, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to leave the palace.

"The poor monk understands."

Yuankong struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally chose the latter between fame and life.

As long as you can survive, it doesn't matter what reputation you have.

Survival takes priority over everything else.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction: "You are a smart man."

"The poor monk is really stupid and not smart at all."

Yuankong bowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not think he was stupid, and said: "In two days, we will send you to the palace to participate in the court meeting, and at the same time arrange people to cooperate with you, just follow our orders."

Yuankong said helplessly: "I understand, poor monk."

Once he got on this pirate ship, he couldn't get off.

If I had known earlier, I would have avoided showing off my presence in front of Lao Zhu. Now that I have done so too much, the consequences of being remembered by Lao Zhu are terrible.

"Okay, go back!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Yuankong was relieved and left in a hurry, not wanting to stay for a moment.

"My dear grandson, you are almost ready."

Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Zhu Xuan said softly: "If Grandpa Huang feels that this matter is too tiring, my grandson can take full responsibility for it, and he will not let Grandpa Huang down."

Zhu Yuanzhang affirmed: "No, let us do it! We have a hunch that if we continue to investigate thoroughly and hold all responsibilities accountable, it will be the same as the tax reform back then. Many people opposed it and a little blood needs to be shed."

This has destroyed the interests of many people, especially the interests of many landlords and wealthy families in the Jiangnan area.

Bleeding is normal.

"Let's do this. We're not afraid of anything."

Zhu Yuanzhang affirmed: "You take some memorials back to deal with them, and we will arrange the rest."

"Grandpa Huang, don't be impatient or angry. Put your health first."

Zhu Xuan warned.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Of course we know that our health is the most important thing, don't worry! If we punish those people severely, our health will not be damaged."

Zhu Xuan was relieved and went back to Zhan Shifu in the East Palace to read the memorial.

When Zhu Xuan left, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were cold and he said coldly: "Pass on Zhao Yunsheng and Jiang Wei!"

After a while, Zhao Yunsheng came, and so did Jiang Wei.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to assign tasks.

Those bastards should all be handed over to Zhao Yunsheng. They should be thoroughly investigated and no one should be missed. The results of the investigation should be reported back in full and severely punished.

The vassal king is too arrogant. If Lao Zhu continues to protect the calf, it will only destroy the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Wei was in charge of all nobles, officials and landlords, and the intensity of crackdowns and investigations was also extremely strong, mobilizing the royal guards from all over the country.

While the Jin Yiwei was moving, Zhu Yuanzhang began to mobilize troops again. This time, he did not go through the Ministry of War, but went directly through Zhu Xuan to mobilize the soldiers of the New Army and the Beijing Camp, and also obtained a lot of firearms and ammunition.

Be prepared for a powerful violent suppression.

Whoever dares to resist tenaciously will shed some blood to make the whole thing more bloody.
