"Daxiangguo Temple, how long has it been since the establishment of the temple?" A cold expression appeared on Liu Chengyou's face.
Li Shaoyou was slightly stunned, but he responded quickly: "Xiangguo Temple was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, nearly four hundred years ago. It was burned down in the late Tang Dynasty and later rebuilt..."
There are several Buddhist temples inside and outside Tokyo, but in terms of reputation, Shokokuji Temple is still the largest, although now it is far from amazing in terms of scale and prosperity. However, the status is there, the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and whenever she goes out of the palace to offer incense, she always chooses Xiangguo Temple.
Li Shaoyou had already known about these situations when he was ordered to visit the Buddhist temple last time.
"Then the history is not short!" Liu Chengyou sighed inexplicably and asked: "Do monks enter the palace just to preach sutras and chant Buddha?"
"I'm sorry for my stupidity. In the Renming Palace, I really don't understand my feelings." Li Shaoyou replied carefully.
Liu Chengyou glanced at him sideways. If he even dared to inquire about the Queen Mother's situation, this taboo would be too serious.
"Let me tell you, why did the Queen Mother suddenly talk to me about Buddhism just now..." Liu Chengyou muttered coldly.
"The situation of the Buddhist temples in Gyeonggi has been investigated clearly!" Liu Chengyou asked after taking a slight breath.
"Back at the official residence, the number of large and small Buddhist temples and nunneries in the prefectures and counties of Gyeonggi Province, the number of monks, land, and tenants, and the Wude Secretary have been recorded in detail. According to the inspection of the officials, there are 230 Buddhist temples in the prefectures and counties of Gyeonggi Province alone. Seven seats, more than 40,000 monks..."
Liu Chengyou said seriously: "Send it to me later!"
"yes!"
Liu Chengyou was thinking about things, and the palace was quiet for a moment. Li Shaoyou handed over his hands and said cautiously, with a hint of reminder in his words: "Guan family, the Queen Mother believes in the Buddha. If you want to do something extraordinary, there may be troubles in the Renming Palace. !”
Li Shaoyou certainly knew what Liu Chengyou wanted to do. Hearing this, he glanced at him: "I know!"
This cousin is really too smart in some aspects. However, as he said, he wanted to destroy the Buddha. If Li objected, it would definitely be a big trouble for him. Although Li could not stop Liu Chengyou, Liu Chengyou would try his best to avoid possible conflicts between mother and son.
He raised his hand and touched his short beard. After thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked: "Master Chen Tuan, why don't you still live in seclusion in Huashan?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Shaoyou pondered Liu Chengyou's thoughts in his mind and replied: "I will send someone to investigate immediately!"
Seeing that he was not sure, Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "No, I personally issued an edict to Huazhou and invited Fuyaozi to come to Beijing to preach to me for the Queen Mother!"
"yes!"
Suddenly, Li Shaoyou heard Liu Chengyou chanting indifferently: "You have heard too much Buddhist music, you should also feel the charm of Taoism!"
"The officials are wise!" Li Shaoyou spoke and patted the horse.
Slowly calming down and ignoring the matter for the time being, Liu Chengyou's expression returned to its original solemnity and asked Li Shaoyou: "I want to rectify the Forbidden Army, do you know it?"
"I heard something!" Li Shaoyou nodded directly, cupped his hands, and his eyes flashed slightly: "Does the official have any instructions?"
"Cousin, you are still so smart!" Liu Chengyou praised him lightly, and then his tone became serious: "This matter concerns the entire army and is closely related to the officers and men. I am afraid that the army's mentality is unstable. Next, Wu Desi will give I keep a close eye on the situation in the Forbidden Army, but if there is any unusual behavior, I will report it at any time!"
"Yes!" Liu Chengyou ordered solemnly, and Li Shaoyou deserved to be serious. With his intelligence and wit, he certainly understands the importance of this matter, and more importantly, the benefits that can be derived from it.
Although the policies and regulations for reorganizing the army have not yet been released, according to Liu Chengyou's wishes, this reorganization of the Forbidden Army will definitely inevitably involve changes in the positions of senior generals. His father, Li Hongxin, has been eyeing the position of coach for so long. Before, there was only one "Commander-in-Chief", but now it is obvious that there is one more "Commander-in-Chief". The emperor should find some trusted people.
"Stay back! Be your eyes and ears and do your job well!" Liu Chengyou gently raised his hand and ordered Li Shaoyou.
"I excuse myself!" Li Shaoyou bowed solemnly.
Before leaving, Liu Chengyou said casually: "By the way, I heard that you have a new concubine, and congratulations!"
Li Shaoyou, the emperor's cousin, had an obvious problem: he was lustful and had many concubines in his family.
Liu Chengyou mentioned such a thing without thinking, and it fell into Li Shaoyou's ears, but his expression changed drastically, and he bowed obviously more respectfully: "Thank you, official."
After saying that, he lowered his waist and slowly exited the hall. In just a short time, when he left the palace, Li Shaoyou's expression was already very serious. The emperor returned home for the first time, but he even knew about private matters such as taking concubines in his house.
"It seems that our official family has more than one pair of ears and eyes!" On the way back to Wudesi, Li Shaoyou pondered with a sullen face, sighing silently in his heart, but he could only keep it in his heart.
Recalling Liu Chengyou's tone just now, there was a vague hint of warning. Thinking of this, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but reflect on himself, whether he had made the emperor dissatisfied in some way.
Liu Chengyou was indeed dissatisfied with Li Shaoyou's actions. Because he found that Li Shaoyou, his cousin, was becoming more and more selfish. Everyone is selfish, this is normal, but there must be a limit and a bottom line, especially if you control minions like Wude Division.
Li Shaoyou had just reported so many things in front of him, some were light and some were serious, some were detailed and some were brief. But what he talked about the most was Shang Hongqian's situation. Liu Chengyou could naturally feel the vague hints.
There are inherent flaws in Shang Hongqian, but under Li Shaoyou's narration of avoiding the easy and taking the serious, it seems that someone else is ready to move. But Liu Chengyou, after all, has more than one pair of ears and eyes, and his mind is clear enough to believe without partiality. Liu Chengyou probably also knows what Li Shaoyou has planned.
Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and Liu Chengyou still trusts his cousin. However, in order to ensure the friendship between the monarch and his brothers, a certain amount of beating is still necessary. After all, he is in charge of a sensitive yamen like Wude Si.
He believed that with Li Shaoyou's agility, he should be able to understand his meaning. If he is arrogant and does not understand his meaning, and still does not know how to restrain himself, then when he has to do something, Liu Chengyou will not show mercy.
On the contrary, for other people and things reported by Li Shaoyou, Nie Wenjin, Guo Yunming, and even his uncle Li Ye, Liu Chengyou also secretly made up his mind to deal with and clean up one by one.
Speaking of which, since he succeeded to the throne, except for the Su Fengji case, Liu Chengyou has not done much in the administration of officials. Despite repeated warnings, the corrupt and law-breaking Han courtiers also restrained themselves a lot, but the nature of unclear governance has not been fundamentally improved. In the final analysis, he was too "tolerant" to the courtiers and dealt with them too softly before. Although the laws of the Han Dynasty are strict and harsh now, they are aimed at ordinary people.
Now, Liu Chengyou's throne is slowly becoming more secure, and his majesty is growing day by day. It's time to transform the Han Dynasty according to his wishes. The "Qianyu New Deal" will be on the right track and on the fast track.
"Your Majesty, two officials, Zhao and Tao, are asking for an audience outside the palace!" When Liu Chengyou was thinking undecided, someone came to report.
"Announce them to enter the palace!" Liu Chengyou quickly regained his energy and ordered.
Although Liu Chengyou missed this event due to the rebellion in Hezhong, he was even more concerned about it because of this.
