Of course, the country of Han Dynasty has not been stable for a long time. Although Liu Chengyou is determined, he is not willing to cause greater turmoil. After thinking for a while, he ordered to Feng Dao: "Instruct all Daozhou governors to conduct military training, observation, defense, regiment training, and governorship. Strengthen the management and control of the political environment to ensure that the Buddhist temples are in order and implemented in accordance with the regulations. The evil intentions of the monks and nuns are exposed, and the common people are unclear about right and wrong. , those who gather people to cause chaos will be immediately suppressed and strictly enforce the laws of the country!"
There was so much ferocity in Liu Chengyou's words that the few ministers in the palace could not help but feel chills in their bodies when they heard it. With this edict from the emperor, there will inevitably be more bloodshed among the people.
Liu Chengyou was also helpless. He was determined to destroy the Buddha and vowed to go all the way to the end and eliminate all its disadvantages. Although this edict appears to be cruel, it is the lesser of two evils. Only the toughest attitude and the most severe means can frighten the ignorant people everywhere.
Accidents may be unavoidable, but Liu Chengyou wanted to control them to the minimum intensity. In this way, he also wanted to avoid more bloodshed.
After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou said: "Over there in Hedong, the rectification work was done well. The emperor's uncle, Wang Jingchong and Yang Ye did not disappoint me after all. They issued an edict to commend and inform the world, so that other towns and generals can follow suit!"
"Yes!" Feng Dao responded, his eyebrows dancing with joy. After all, Yang Ye was his grandson-in-law.
Mentioning the incident in Hedong and thinking of his beloved general, Liu Chengyou's expression became calm and he said: "The chaos in Guoxian County can be decided by Yang Ye in one day. He acted decisively and handled it properly, which deeply impressed me. Feng Qing felt that I How should I reward you?"
"This..." Although he was happy for his grandson-in-law, Feng Dao, who had always been cautious, glanced at the emperor subconsciously: "Your Majesty, the relationship between Yang Ye and the old minister is really inconvenient for the old minister to speak about this matter. "
"Hey..." Liu Chengyou seemed to be very interested. He raised his hands and brushed his sleeves and said: "The ancients said that you should not avoid relatives when doing internal affairs. I am in charge of military affairs and have always made clear rewards and punishments. There is no way to avoid anyone who is right. , since Yang Ye has made great contributions, he should be rewarded. I will cut off the reward for Feng Qing, and he is upright and has no selfish principles!"
Even after hearing what the emperor said, Mr. Feng still shook his head, unwilling to follow the truth. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but smile: "In this case, I have to force my husband to do it. Well... with the achievements Yang Ye has accumulated in the past two years, Dai Prefecture will be restored to a defensive prefecture, and Yang Ye will be the defensive prefecture. Defense!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your life!" He wanted to be kind, but Feng Dao unexpectedly objected.
Facing the emperor's scrutinizing gaze, Feng Dao clasped his hands and explained: "Yang Ye is young after all, and his qualifications and abilities are insufficient. He is already a young man in a high position in a regiment training in a state, and he is defending a state. I know that your majesty loves Yang Ye and appreciates him. He expressed his gratitude and loyalty to His Majesty. However, the old minister believed that promoting him too quickly would be like pulling out the seedlings, which would not be a good thing for Yang Ye. It would be better to let him hone himself more in the border counties to encourage his abilities, which will be convenient for him in the future. I will better serve His Majesty and the imperial court with all my loyalty..."
Listening to Feng Dao's discussion, Liu Chengyou felt that it was rare. It was probably only when it came to matters involving people close to him that the old fox would work so hard.
Understand Feng Dao's caring heart, and consider that his thinking does make sense. In the Chinese and foreign military systems of the Han Dynasty, Yang Ye's age has indeed risen a bit quickly. Although Liu Chengyou likes to employ young people and promote young talents, he still needs to abide by the Basic Law and let Yang Ye lay more foundations.
Having made up his mind, Liu Chengyou followed his advice and said directly: "Feng Qing's consideration is very reasonable. However, merit will be rewarded. If Yang Ye is in trouble in Nao County, let him be promoted to the title of Marquis of Nao. He will live in a town of 500 households and be granted a real title. One hundred households will be rewarded with twenty pieces of silk and one hundred thousand dollars, um...give his wife a fifth-grade imperial edict!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Feng Dao directly thanked his descendants.
"I heard that Yang Yexin has a new son, so congratulations!" The atmosphere in the palace became a little strange, and Liu Chengyou actually started a family affair with Feng Dao.
Feng Dao could only follow the rules at random and replied: "Exactly! A letter from the former state came to announce the good news, and the old minister named him Yanzhao..."
"Yang Yanzhao?" Liu Chengyou couldn't help but smile: "Very good!"
I thought to myself, is Yang Liulang turning into Yang Dalang? With a flash of eyes, he looked at Feng Dao and Liu Chengyou said: "Your granddaughter has been guarding with Yang Ye for nearly two years. My grandfather and grandson are separated from each other by thousands of miles, and I guess they miss each other very much. In this way, I will give your family another gift. Grace, until the situation in the Xindai Land stabilizes, let Yang Ye and his wife return to Tokyo to visit the family!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Dao thanked him immediately, looking moved.
Xue Ju was watching the monarch and his ministers questioning each other, and silently recorded in his mind that he had outstanding literary talent, was also responsible for compiling the "History of the Country", and also collected anecdotes about the affairs of the current dynasty. Today's events in the palace, if we pass on Yang Ye in the future, we may briefly describe it as a supplement. The emperor loves Yang Ye especially!
At the same time, I also admire the emperor's ability to win people's hearts. From Xue Juzheng's point of view, the main purpose was to summon Yang Ye back to the capital and listen to his report on his work. From Liu Chengyou's mouth, it became the emperor's favor to show sympathy for his ministers... And Feng Dao and Yang Ye really showed their kindness. gratitude.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will resign now!" After briefly asking about some government affairs, Feng Dao and Feng Dao took the initiative to resign.
Don't stay long, let it retreat. Once again, he was alone at the imperial desk and ordered someone to spread out a piece of white paper. Liu Chengyou took up his pen and wrote the word "Buddha". He stared at it and saw where he came from. His expression returned to seriousness. After thinking seriously for a long time, he drew a line with a red pen. , which penetrates the back of the paper.
"Come here, please send a message to Fan Zhi, the Minister of Public Affairs, to King Pu!" After pondering for a long time, Liu Chengyou ordered someone to pass on the order.
Soon, Fan and Wang met in front of the palace.
Liu Chengyou was very straightforward and expressed his true feelings: "There is no one else in the palace. You two are my ministers. I will say it bluntly. This time I destroyed the Buddha, not to destroy the Buddhist lineage, but because I hid the population, occupied the land, and accumulated wealth." , has long since become a malady, which is actually detrimental to the imperial rule and the restoration of the national strength of the Han Dynasty."
"Nowadays, the extermination of Buddhism at home and abroad has reached a certain level. However, the influence of Buddhism on the people is really not small. The common people everywhere have been deceived and caused chaos, which has happened repeatedly recently. At this point, it is time to consider the ending!"
Fan Zhi and Wang Pu looked at each other, and Fan Zhi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise! Please give me your instructions!"
The two of them had already had this intention, but they had not been able to figure out the emperor's thoughts before and did not dare to give advice casually.
"Buddhism helps the world and encourages good deeds, and its benefits are very great. Previously, it was corrupt and unforbidden, and it was necessary to distinguish whether the teachings were going to be long. After this incident, the banner of 'uphold the old rules and reform the previous evils' still cannot be put down. For Temples all over the world must still not let things go unchecked. They must be restrained by regulations to prevent the old state from reverting over time. You go back, gather your staff, and brainstorm a system to standardize it and make it a permanent system!"
Both of them were talented people. They easily discerned the holy meaning and responded in unison: "Yes!"
