It’s not like Liu Changge has never burned corpses before. The unpleasant smell is something you will never forget.
But the eminent monk in front of him was swallowed up by the fire, but there was no stench.
When the people were gone and the fire was extinguished, Liu Changge fiddled with the knife handle and looked at the relics in the ashes, his face became extremely ugly.
"Relic, every bad thing turns into good luck. Buddhist misfortune can be solved."
Yang Shiqi looked at the golden body of Buddha and sighed lightly.
Xie Jin knew that Yang Shiqi was not a Buddhist, but his mother was. Perhaps his actions were just to fulfill his filial piety and prevent his mother from being sad.
In any case, it is an indisputable reality that Daoyuan ended up with twelve relics after his death.
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the relics lying in the wooden box with deep eyes.
Yang Shiqi advised: "Your Majesty, Tianjie Temple provides a shelter for the Yin soldiers, which is all done by monk Haiming. Now that the four eminent monks of Tianjie Temple have taken Haiming to the land of Sanskrit, they also ask the emperor to be accommodating. No, Leifumen.”
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was silent, Jie Jin quickly added: "Tianjie Temple is willing to donate 3,000 acres of land and 800,000 yuan in currency to atone for sins and win the emperor???????????????" ?forgive."
Zhu Yunwen heard this, picked up a relic, looked at it and threw it back. He said sternly: "Arrest the monks who have relations with the Yin soldiers, and order the Senglu Division to select senior monks to preside over the Tianjie Temple. Let this matter be over. If there is another Buddhist sect that interferes with the imperial court and connects with the Yin soldiers, even if the Tathagata comes in person, I will destroy him in the Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Buddhism is preserved, that is the best outcome.
Xie Jin didn't like the monk, but once the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, it would be a huge disaster. We must know how much manpower, material and financial resources Zhu Yuanzhang and the vassal kings from various places spent in the thirty-one years of Hongwu to build many temples, and each vassal king even assigned monks.
From advocating and promoting Buddhism, it took a sharp turn and went straight to destroying Buddhism. The huge group of monks couldn't accept it, the feudal kings couldn't accept it, and even the people of the world couldn't accept it.
The Ming Dynasty needs stability and does not need major changes and turmoil.
Zhu Yunwen knew that Tianjie Temple was just a pawn of Liu Bowan, so he did not pursue it in depth.
As the interrogation by the Security Bureau deepens, clues begin to emerge.
Yang Wushan, the king of the White Lotus Sect, the mysteriously missing chess player, Yu Shishe, the leader of the Yunnan Caravan, Fu Tianxi who faked his death and escaped, and Peng Yuming, the right prime minister of Dali, were included in the top investigation list of the Security Bureau...
The investigation lasted until mid-July, and Fu Tianxi's identity was confirmed. He was the fourth son of Duke Fu Youde of Yingguo. He had faked his death in Yunnan and escaped the bloody storm.
As for Yu Shishe, this person's identity is not simple. His wife's name is Shen Xianyang. Shen Xianyang is not famous in history, but her father's name is Shen Wansan.
In other words, Shen Xianyang is Shen Wansan's eldest son-in-law.
In the tenth year of Hongwu's reign, Shen Wansan was sent to Yunnan. In Guizhou, he received the help of two wives, Aicui and Shexiang, to carry out trade in Shunyuan City and help build the Nine Posts of Longchang.
In the fourteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Shen Wansan went to Kunming to join Mu Ying. With Mu Ying's support, he restored the Ancient Tea Horse Road and formed a horse team, forming a caravan merchant force.
In the 19th year of Hongwu's reign, Shen Wansan's caravan expanded from Yunnan to Guizhou. Shortly afterwards, two of Shen Wansan's grandsons were arrested and imprisoned.
In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu's reign, the Lan Yu Case broke out, and almost all the Shen family members were wiped out. Yu Shishe survived, took over the caravan, and secretly ran the caravan.
Zhu Yunwen did not expect that the famous Shen Wansan, who had been dead for many years, would actually fight against him in another way. With the wealth that the Shen family has managed for many years, it is no wonder that ancient and modern forces can revive, and can even persuade the government to cooperate.
"It is said here that Muchun's wife is Yu Huigang, the daughter of Yu Shishe. So, the relationship between Mu Sheng and Yu Shishe must be quite deep, right?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Changge.
Liu Changge did not dare to speculate and discussed the matter: "Yu Huigang is indeed the daughter of Yu Shishe and the granddaughter of Shen Wansan. However, this daughter died early and left no children. After Mu Chun died of illness in the 31st year of Hongwu, Mu Sheng ascended the throne and married Yu. Shishe’s relationship mostly involves the Tea Horse Road. As for whether there are other connections, further investigation is needed.”
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "No need, just send the paperwork to Mu Sheng and let him handle the matter."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..."
Liu Changge quickly persuaded.
Zhu Yunwen insisted that Yu Shishe's son-in-law was Mu Chun, not Mu Sheng. The relationship between the two was not good enough for Mu Sheng to bet on the Mu family. degree.
Leave it to Mu Sheng, firstly for testing and secondly for trust.
"Is there any news about Yang Wushan?"
Zhu Yunwen tapped an almost blank page of paperwork.
Liu Changge shook his head: "The information Liu Ming has is limited. He only knows that Yang Wushan took over the White Lotus Sect after the death of the Buddha Mother. He controlled the Little Buddha Mother Tang Sai'er. He had a group of saints who were also Yin soldiers. The name of the leader was Bai Yiyi once came to the capital to meet with Liu Bowan, but then disappeared."
Zhu Yunwen stared: "Is Tang Sai'er in his hands?"
Liu Changge nodded heavily: "According to the confession of Liu Ming and others, this is indeed the case. There is also news that Yang Wushan should be in Jiangbei. The attack on the Gaoyou Crown Prince was the result of a conspiracy between Yang Wushan and Ji Gang. It is speculated that this person should be in Huai'an Prefecture or Yangzhou Prefecture. , Fengyang Mansion and other places.”
Jiangbei, not Hebei, indicates that Yang Wushan should be north of the Yangtze River and south of the Yellow River. The choice of Gaoyou to assassinate the prince at least proves that Yang Wushan has power in Huai'an, Yangzhou and other places.
But this area is not small. Looking for a person or a child is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
Zhu Yunwen took out a map, stared at the Huai River Basin and said: "These people are hiding in the dark, and the information is not blocked. News can be obtained faster on the river. Investigate along the river to see if there are any clues."
Liu Changge agreed, but he didn't have any hope. The area between the north and south of the Huaihe River and the east and west of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is not small. Blind investigation without clues can only depend on luck.
Zhu Yunwen pointed to the last page and asked with a serious expression: "Why is there no news about this chess player?"
Liu Changge was helpless: "Your Majesty, Liu Ming and others only know the existence of the chess player, but do not know his true identity. They only know that this person has unparalleled strategy and superior intelligence. The reason why Liu Bowan has been able to hide in the capital for many years, planning and planning, is that he is a chess player." But Liu Bowan still refused to explain, and the identity of the chess player was not found out. In addition, Liu Ming and others heard from Liu Bowan that the chess player had disappeared for some time."
Zhu Yunwen did not expect that there was an unpredictable and extremely threatening chess player standing behind Liu Bowan.
This group of people were making trouble on the surface, so it was easy to catch them, but if they had changed their identities and were dormant, it would be difficult to dig them out. "What else?"
Seeing Liu Changge's hesitation, Zhu Yunwen frowned and asked.
Liu Changge said worriedly: "I have searched Liu Bowan's residence and everywhere, but no ancient and modern order was found. However, according to Liu Ming's account, Liu Bowan did have an ancient and modern Wen order in his hand, and said that the person who holds the ancient and modern order can mobilize it. A line of power. Young Master Li Qi’s good-character order can mobilize the Yin soldiers of the capital, and Liu Bowan’s warm-character order can mobilize the fine work inside and outside the capital."
Zhu Yunwen took out the Good Character Order and looked through it: "The document once said that the Buddha Mother was the first owner of the ancient and modern Lotus Order. Later, the Buddha Mother was killed, and the Lotus Order fell into the hands of Yang Wushan and became Yang Wushan's control. Is this the important token of the Yin Soldiers and the White Lotus Sect?"
Liu Changge nodded.
Zhu Yunwen turned over the token and said in a deep voice: "This ancient and modern order is like a flag for mobilizing troops. It only recognizes the flag and not the people. Whoever holds the ancient and modern order can mobilize a force. That Bai Bai I'm afraid Yiyi's daughter came to the capital not for Liu Bowan, but for this ancient and modern order."
"this……"
Liu Changge was a little shocked. If Zhu Yunwen's speculation was true, it meant that the original division of labor within the ancient and modern forces was disintegrating, and someone wanted to gather all the forces into one!
Zhu Yunwen calmly threw the ancient and modern orders on the table and said: "The Wen-character order in Liu Bowan's hand cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. In addition, there should also be ancient and modern orders at Fu Tianxi and Yu Shishe's place. Be sure to find them. Pang It’s not like Huan hasn’t rested all this time, so I asked him to take Cong Pei’er to the southwest and take a look at the scenery there.”
landscape?
Your Majesty, are you kidding me? It is a wild land with many wild animals and difficult roads. There is no scenery to speak of...
Pang Huan, brother can't help you.
After Liu Changge and others left, Zhu Yunwen temporarily put aside the Yin soldiers and began to deal with government affairs.
Fujian began to regain its vitality under the rectification of Zhao Feng, Zhou Zhixin and others. Jianyang, Jianning and other places that were originally prone to depression became increasingly prosperous. Printing, paper making, and ink making have become local pillar industries.
Summarizing his experience, Zhao Wei creatively proposed the development of "local workshops" to drive local tax revenue. The logic of this kind of industry driving the economy was finally taken seriously.
After discussing with Zhu Yunwen, the Ministry of Household Affairs released Zhao Wen's experience to the provincial chief ministers, requiring each province to combine regional energy and conditions and highlight the development of three to five types of "local workshops." For example, Shanxi Province can develop around coal and iron. , Xijiang Province develops around oil and cotton, Northeastern Guanwai develops around livestock and horse farms, Northern Zhili develops around engineering construction and basic industries, Guangdong, Fujian and other places focus on foreign trade, Jiangxi focuses on education, academies, etc. Nanjing focuses on textiles, shipbuilding, and newspaper printing...
At the same time, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Guozijian Agricultural College sent personnel to local areas to teach new farming techniques. The court contributed five, the prefectures and counties contributed three, and the people contributed two to promote seed protection technology and replace agricultural tools, so that Deep farming has become more convenient. For places where droughts and floods often occur, the Imperial College of Agriculture will apply, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will review and allocate funds to dig various deep wells and ponds to ensure agriculture.
Benefiting from the increase in the number of talents who have graduated from the Imperial College, the gap in teaching and training in prefectures and counties has been basically solved. Although there are still a large number of places that cannot implement multi-subject miscellaneous studies, there is no problem with basic academic literacy.
The fire of culture and education began to ignite. From the bottom, from among the people, the temperature began to rise...
