People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 292 You are such a bald ass, you deceived me so miserably! !
Seeing the raging fire engulfing the temple, Emperor Wanli was not in a good mood.

Whether he can burn down all such temples now, but who can tell clearly how many people those temples ruined before?

He still doesn't quite understand.

Buddhists have always said that Pudu Cihang should be compassionate to the world.

But what are these monks doing now?
They seemed to have done nothing but oppress the people.

These monks have always said that they are pure cultivators in the temple.

But what exactly did they fix?
What you are cultivating is how to get more money from the people?

The purpose of cultivation is to let the common people prostrate themselves in front of the Buddha?

Is this what these people do?

Emperor Wanli also thought about keeping this temple as an ancient courtyard, but Cuiwei Mountain was too remote and was not suitable, so he gave up. It would be a good thing to burn it directly to wake everyone up.

After the temple was burned down, the main seal, the deputy seal, and the officials present were all dumbfounded.

The emperor personally killed people!
Is this still the emperor who was only ten years old?

It is estimated that everyone misjudged this emperor.

Not only did this emperor show no mercy, he was even more cruel than ordinary people.

Only then did they understand that not only the person who used him, such as Chen Han, was a vicious person, but he himself was also such a person.

It is estimated that except for the military emperors of the North and South and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, no emperor can personally kill people like this one.

After all, every emperor feels that he is extremely noble. Whatever he does, there will be someone to help him complete it without having to do it himself.

But this emperor was different. He killed people himself.

And they still kill people at close range with muskets.

Emperor Wanli walked up to the first and second seals and looked at them.

They knelt on the ground.

Creeping!

Trembling!

He was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

Even the smell of blood on the ground is still strong.

But they seemed to have no other emotions except fear.

"How is it? Do you think I did a good job?" Emperor Wanli asked with a smile.

Neither the main seal nor the secondary seal dared to raise their heads.

too frightening.

Where is a ten-year-old child here?

Isn't there a thousand-year-old monster living in his body?

Otherwise, how could he act so decisively?

"Your Majesty! We were wrong!"

"Your Majesty, the poor monk, will return to secular life immediately and will never do such things again."

Four officials from the Ministry of Rites also knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, we will never go to the temple again."

"That's right! I'll never go to the temple again!"

"Your Majesty, I want to report that Lin Buque, the Minister of Rites, really likes visiting temples. He said that being close to the Buddha can rejuvenate the body and mind. Now we know that he came to the temple to enjoy himself. We have all been deceived by him!"

"That's right, that's right. I want to report that many officials of Guanglu Temple made large purchases during the ceremony to build a Buddhist gate. In fact, many things are not needed at all. We can all testify!"

In order to get pardon, these people began to bite randomly.

Probably after seeing Emperor Wanli's cruel methods, they were all frightened, so now.

Seeing them like this, Li Rubai and the others only felt contempt in their hearts.

What were you guys doing in the first place?
Don’t you really like to bite around and say that our governor is misbehaving outside?
Are you slapped in the face now?

Our governor did not act recklessly at all, but actually did something for the common people.

On the contrary, it's you guys who are full of male thieves and female prostitutes.

Emperor Wanli stood in front of them, overlooking them condescendingly, "If I let you die now, others will think that I can't afford it, so I really won't kill you now. I want you to know that I am a very trustworthy person." ." Emperor Wanli ordered: "Call the local officials immediately and distribute all the land of Faji Temple to the surrounding people, especially those who have had their land occupied by the temple, and there must be more compensation. The Jade Buddha is now returned to the suffering owner.”

After Emperor Wanli finished his instructions, he took the main seal, the deputy seal and the officials from the Ministry of Rites and went to the next temple.

The main seal and the deputy seal, as well as the officials of the Ministry of Rites, understood what Emperor Wanli meant.

If he won the bet, it would probably be more than just chopping off his head.

Emperor Wanli was obviously holding back his ultimate move.

……

At the foot of Cuiwei Mountain.

The fact that the huge temple was burned down quickly spread around Cuiwei Mountain.

Everyone was surprised when they heard that even Faji Temple was burned down.

After all, this temple has been standing in the mountain for nearly a hundred years.

Although their reputation is not particularly good, for many people in the surrounding area, it is a good place to worship Buddha.

Devout believers really don't have much feelings for the monks in the temple, but they believe in Buddhism devoutly.

Many people may not know that those monks do nothing, but they can distinguish the monks from the Buddha.

"Have you heard? Faji Temple was burned down!"

"Ah! Such a big temple should be burned down at any time!"

"Isn't it? It's so clean!"

"Someone from the Yamen has also come, and the land occupied by Faji Temple will be distributed to the surrounding people."

"Is this such a good thing? Doesn't that mean that the people in the branch temple may be members of the official family?"

The two people who spoke immediately entered a state of tension. After all, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, and ordinary people like them would not dare to mention it.

"I think it is. I have always said that this Faji Temple is not a good thing, especially the monks inside. If nothing else is good, they are the best at lending! Now it was burned down. If it weren't for the official , that’s God’s fault.”

When the people heard about this, some were happy and some were unhappy.

Of course the unhappy ones are the landowners.

The property attached to the temple cannot be retrieved.

They were relatively well-informed, and as soon as they inquired, they found out that the people who burned the temples were official people.

It is the same thing to go all the way north to burn temples with Chen Han, the imperial envoy from the south.

Therefore, they did not dare to ask for land and could only say that they were unlucky.

Of course, this incident had a chain reaction. In the future, no landowner would dare to put the land in the name of the temple.

Because I don’t know which day the monks in the temple will be killed and the temple will be burned down.

A certain rich man's house.

Jin Yiwei returned the jade Buddha to their home.

The old rich man was very happy.

This is a family heirloom.

It's been generations.

It made him feel bad to give it up to the temple.

Now I don't think I can return it.

"Excuse me, what is going on?"

Jin Yiwei replied: "As long as you know that it was those monks who deceived me, don't ask too much about the rest."

"No! My family is a believer in Buddhism, and we all pay attention to karma. You said that we offered this thing to the Buddha and then took it back again. It's outrageous! My grandson looks exactly like that Arhat. We are scared. !”

Jin Yiwei smiled and said: "Master, the reason why your grandson looks like an Arhat is because the monks found clay figurines to make clay statues in the shape of your grandson. They are not just the same, they are just to defraud your family of their money and the Jade Buddha." , From now on, please be more careful, as long as you firmly believe that the Buddha is in your heart, it is your heart that is cultivated and not the mud in the temple. "

After that, Jin Yiwei left.

The old rich man stood at the door, holding the Jade Buddha, thoughtfully, and then cursed: You are such a bald donkey, you deceived me so miserably! !
