Starting from the White Horse Temple, the imperial censor and Jin Yiwei immediately dispatched manpower to conduct an inventory of temples and Taoist temples all over the world.
For a moment, the monks suddenly felt that a disaster was coming.
Some people escaped overnight with money, and there were several unjust cases of monks dying in the wilderness.
Some people directly hid in the homes of local gentry, wealthy businessmen, and officials, intending to avoid the court's investigation and thus avoid responsibility.
What's more, that night, a fire broke out in the temple. A fire directly burned the century-old temple.
However, the court didn't care much about these.
The temple monks must be investigated, as well as local officials, gentry, and wealthy businessmen, and Denwen drums must be set up in the government offices.
If there are people who have grievances, they will find ways to beat drums to express their grievances.
Such a big action is really exciting to watch.
Di newspapers also report at any time. Every day, new data will appear. Many people clapped their hands and shouted, good check!
Xiao Yi moved into the palace that night.
Instead of someone raiding the palace at night as expected, someone came directly to solve the problem.
Perhaps, they all knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was surrounded by three thousand troops, and they also knew very well that His Highness the Crown Prince's own force value was very high.
Unless he can find 10,000 people, or 10,000 elites.
Even so, there may still be significant risks.
You must know that the Prince of the Supervisory State is among the thousands of troops who can take the heads of enemy generals and still escape intact.
How about the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry?
In the end, he retreated steadily, and he was no match for the prince of the country.
Where did they go to find the 10,000 elite men?
Moreover, there are also many people who are lucky, or in other words, Xiao Yi is not Zhu Yuanzhang, and he will be killed directly to a river of blood.
Daqian governs the country according to the law, and they also know their own culpability, and their crimes will not lead to death.
As for those who knew that they could not escape the death penalty, there were some who committed suicide that night to apologize, leaving behind a letter of regret.
There are also some who are naturally waiting for Jin Yiwei to come to their door.
What about a night raid on the prison palace of the prince?
joke.
How could they have imagined that they would be where they are today, how could they have raised so many dead soldiers in advance!
Corrupt officials with real strength and manpower have long been rectified.
When Xiao Zheng was in Jiangdong, he was killed like a river of blood. Today's officials were all promoted after that.
It can only be said that power nourishes people's hearts and money tempts people.
At the beginning, most officials knew the consequences of doing so and did not want to wade into troubled waters.
But who gives others the means to drag them into the water?
Seven days later.
Xiao Yi ordered to go to Kaifeng.
Kaifeng is considered the provincial capital of Henan Province. It is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. The palaces and so on are still there, and the army also has a place to stay.
When Xiao Yi, Xu Jingli and others arrived outside Kaifeng City, the Kaifeng Prefect led a group of officials to greet them.
At the same time, some officials, monks, and Taoist priests were tied up.
As a result, after the Kaifeng prefect saluted, he immediately announced the identities of the tied people and their culpability.
At the same time, I kindly request His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send the Supervising Censor and the Imperial Guards to conduct another inspection to see if there is any grievance.
In the end, he naturally expressed his determination to serve the country with fists.
have a look.
What is professionalism?
This is called professionalism!
Naturally, Xiao Yi would not stretch out his hand to hit the smiling man, so he quickly helped the Kaifeng prefect and praised him for his contribution and loyalty.
The monarch and his ministers entered the city talking and laughing as if they were close friends.
The supervisory censor and Jin Yiwei directly took over those who were tied up, so those who should be re-examined naturally had to be re-examined.
The stay in Kaifeng was relatively short.
Because what the Kaifeng Prefect did was really nothing to say, he was a man who knew how to get into trouble, and he also behaved upright.
Rewards for merit.
Naturally, the title, salary, etc. have also been raised one level.
On July 25, Xiao Yi and his party finally arrived at Jinling City in Jiangdong.
Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru, two scribes from Jiangyin, were in front of the city and asked Fu Que to speak.
The content is complex and detailed, including advice to His Highness the Crown Prince to be close to virtuous ministers and distant people, advice to attach importance to education, encourage farming and mulberry farming, emphasis on maritime trade, and to accept advice from others, as well as advice to His Highness the Crown Prince to change the official system.
In this regard, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accepted their documents, but did not meet these people. Instead, he made it clear that after his inspection, he would hold a political symposium on the southeast together with King Yan in Jinling City. At that time, all the people of the southeast could Talk in person.
The two scribes had no choice but to temporarily stay in Jinling City to wait for the symposium.
However, having said that, until the beginning of August, His Highness King Yan did not appear, let alone His Highness the Prince ordered a symposium. Instead, he traveled around the mountains and rivers every day, feeling very uncomfortable.
In this way, rumors slowly spread, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince has been sitting in Chang'an, the capital, and later he also went to the north. He had never been to the southeast, so this time he saw the land of plenty and plenty in the southeast. The prosperity of the southeast makes some people forget to leave.
And as these rumors spread, many people were worried at first, but now they are not anxious anymore.
Look, His Royal Highness the Prince likes Qinhuai Zhuque Bridge and Wuyi Lane.
I even like to listen to Backyard Tweed.
By the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching soon, and dignitaries, scholars, and gentry from all over the country are also following the news and arriving in Jinling City.
Everyone also thought that the symposium should be held on the Mid-Autumn Festival in August.
They are also secretly preparing poems for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that they can become famous by reciting poems in public at that symposium.
The more people there are, the more lively it becomes.
Taking advantage of the early autumn, which can be regarded as a refreshing autumn, we met to climb high and look far away, and discuss how to reach the sky on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Of course, they also wanted to test each other.
Jiming Temple in Jinling City, also known as Ancient Jiming Temple, is located on the foothills of Jilong Mountain. It is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Jinling City.
Chicken Coop Shandong is connected to Jiuhua Mountain in the east, Xuanwu Lake in the north, and Gulou Gang in the west. It is named because the mountain is round like a chicken coop.
Jilong Mountain is backed by a lake and faces the city. The mountains are covered with dense green trees, green floating in the air, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and beautiful scenery. In the eighth year of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty built Tongtai Temple in Jimingdai, which truly made this place a Buddhist resort.
Since then, the incense has continued and has been passed down to this day.
Before Xiao Yi arrived in Jinling, Jiangdong Supervisory Censor and Jinyiwei, two local chief executives, had already led their people to conduct an inventory of Jiming Temple.
Except for the temples, all other properties were confiscated and then began to be leased out in the name of the government. The rent collected was very small.
The people who are leasing are those who have no land, even the land that originally belonged to him, or some poor people.
In short, the imperial court intended to prevent land annexation, and the wealthy families and gentry did not dare to extend their hands.
The aristocratic families reported in the Di newspaper also took the initiative to admit their mistakes and returned a lot of their land.
At this time, stamp duty also plays a role.
The government testified that after the aristocratic family paid the stamp duty, the land deed was changed.
There are also some who cling to the land deed, thinking that they bought it with their own money. Those people who borrowed money cannot afford to repay it, so they can only repay the money with the land deed. This is natural and right, why should they pay it back?
However, it didn't take long for the supervisory censor and the royal guards to come to the door.
These people more or less have lives and lawsuits in their hands, or their family wealth has dirty sources, and they cannot withstand investigation.
As for some others who have only made a little fortune and are not responsible for their crimes, if they did not pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, they will naturally be fine.
After all, the world has always been between black and white, not black and white.
Back in front of me, many officials, gentry, scholars, etc. from the southeast came to climb up, but the treatment was completely different.
When those high-ranking officials from nearby, who are famous all over the world and return to their hometown after retiring from old age, come up, they must be in charge of welcoming them personally and cleaning the private courtyard.
When some wealthy people who had donated large sums of money for sesame oil arrived, they would be received carefully by knowledgeable monks, allowing them to comfortably enjoy the services brought by their money.
As for the ordinary good men and women who come, they can't go in and have a cup of tea without donating some money or silk.
You must know that the tea in Jiming Temple is made from the famous Southeastern West Lake Longjing tea. You have to wait for a lot of gold to exchange for a piece of tea cake.
Of course, there are some exceptions.
For example, some scholars, talented people, students and Confucian scholars who are quite famous in the southeast, although they don't give any money for sesame oil, if they don't prepare tea and clean the house for others, they will arrange for you to be watched by Jiming Temple even if you can't go out. People are low.
When word spreads, it will definitely affect the reputation of Jiming Temple. Not to mention the money for tea, the money for incense will probably be very little.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always acted vigorously and resolutely. The fasting banquet at White Horse Temple in Luoyang ended up being the Hongmen Banquet. Is this Jinling Symposium also a turbulent meeting?" Qian Qianyi sat down in the pavilion and watched. Looking in the direction of Jinling City Palace, he was thoughtful.
Zhou Yanru was also a little worried and said: "His Royal Highness intends to prevent the annexation of land and cause dissatisfaction among the big families in the southeast. Now that blood has been seen, I feel that the matter will not be understood so easily."
Qian Qianyi responded with a sigh and said: "There is no way! Your Highness the Crown Prince is at the peak of the sun, but he does not act according to common sense. Of course we ordinary people are worried..."
Zhou Yanru also sighed and said with emotion: "Actually, His Highness the Crown Prince's move was not unexpected. He has been so resolute and unexpected in doing things in recent years... It's just that we were far away in the past, but now we rarely get close, so that's why I’ll be so confused.”
to be honest.
In the past, it was called the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
Now.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited the south and personally took charge of the southeast.
Many people are naturally a little panicked.
After all, blood had been seen before this.
Several eminent monks from Jiming Temple were beheaded in public display.
There are also several children of aristocratic families, and even people from side houses, who have been arrested and brought to justice.
Years of old cases were dug out and re-examined.
With this kind of action, none of the scholars in Southeast, who are in the paradise, will not panic or worry.
