Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 483 Extreme means
Under Jia Rui's arrangement, Jiangnan's actions once again amplified.

These Taoists set out from the capital and entered the south of the Yangtze River through the canal. After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, they began to clean up the Buddhist temples in the south of the Yangtze River.

To say that these temples in Jiangnan are really rich, each of them has decorated the Buddha statues with gold bodies.

In the secret letter from the Jinyi Army that Jia Rui received, there was even a special mention of a Buddha statue made of pure gold that was as tall as a person.

This Buddha statue is made entirely of gold and decorated with various gemstones and colored glazes. It is truly priceless.

In addition to these, there are also large fields dedicated to temples. Of course, the monks in these temples do not farm, but are rented to ordinary people for farming.

Moreover, there are no taxes in these places, and ordinary people can even take shelter in temples to avoid other taxes from the court.

There are even one or two temples that contain filth and unspeakable things. How many things are there?
After reading these secret messages, Jia Rui sighed.

During the heyday of the feudal dynasty, Buddhism was developing rapidly, and this dynasty was at this time.

It seems that he used administrative means to forcefully suppress the development of Buddhism.

The next day, Jarrett held a special morning meeting.

Since the death of the former emperor, Jia Rui has not yet held a dynasty. Almost all decisions were promulgated and implemented after consultation with several cabinet ministers.

Because of this, officials at all levels are very enthusiastic about today's morning court. Jia Rui's side has not yet arrived, and they have already occupied the main hall.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps behind the Qianqing Gate Hall, and then Jia Rui carried the little emperor up the imperial steps, and then sat on the dragon chair.

The little emperor now lives in the Yangxin Hall with Jia Rui, so Jia Rui can carry the little emperor here very conveniently.

The little emperor had been born for some time, but because he was still young, he was tightly packed even when he went to the main hall.

For the safety of the little emperor, Jia Rui specially injected some Nine Yang Qi into him so that the little emperor could be healthy.

Now, this ignorant little emperor is sleeping soundly in Jia Rui's arms.

Next to Jia Rui, Lao Li stood on the imperial steps and shouted to the ministers below:

"Long live the Lord's purpose. If you have a plan, you will send it out early, but if you don't have a plan, you will leave the court."

That university was headed by Shen Wence, and he immediately came out to report, "I, Shen Wence, have a good track record."

"Play it."

"During this period of cleaning up Jiangnan, we found that the temples were filled with filth and evil. The monks did not know how to practice religiously, but instead delayed in worldly pleasures. I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to rectify this."

After finishing speaking, Shen Wence raised his memorial high, and naturally the young eunuch took it and delivered it to Jia Rui.

In fact, Jia Rui had already discussed this chapter with Shen Wence, and today was just a formality.

Jia Rui picked up this chapter and read it carefully, then nodded and said, "Monks should concentrate on cultivation instead of being good at worldly things. I think Master Shen's suggestion is very good."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he asked Lao Li to pick it up and read it to everyone in the hall.

Shen Wence's chapter generally has several points, the most important of which is that monks only need to practice piously and cannot accumulate land without authorization.

The second point is that Buddha does not need gold, copper or other materials to build a golden body.

The third point is the stipulation that the number of monks in each temple cannot allow the temple to expand without limit.

The ministers below were talking a lot after hearing this, but most of them agreed with these items.

The most important thing is that these temples occupy a large amount of land, and they are competing for land with these dignitaries.

"Everyone, let's talk about it. Do you have any objections? If not, we'll make the decision." Jia Rui waited for a moment before saying. All the ministers below knelt down together, "I second my opinion."

Jia Rui was satisfied. As long as this was completed, the forces in Jiangnan would be almost completely cleaned up, and he would be able to almost completely control the country.

Just as Jia Rui and the ministers had just reached an agreement, his dragon energy also changed in the sky.

It turns out that Jia Rui's dragon energy has turned into a four-clawed golden dragon, and is about to turn into a lucky golden dragon that controls the entire empire.

And the golden dragon of luck in this dynasty was curled up in a corner of the palace, dying.

Originally, this stalemate would continue for a while, and eventually the golden dragon of luck in this dynasty would be completely swallowed up by Jia Rui's dragon energy.

At this time, a golden lotus fortune appeared in the southwest, and then turned into a seven-color rainbow and merged into the fortune of this dynasty.

With the blessing of this rainbow, the dragon energy of this dynasty, which was already dying, actually opened its eyes, braced itself, and began to compete with Jia Rui's dragon energy.

This moment angered Jia Rui's luck, and he only saw his roar, and the desolate dragon roar shook the sky.

Then it came down from top to bottom, turned into a huge dragon shadow, and rushed straight towards the dragon's energy.

The dragon energy of the herbal medicine gave off a golden light on his forehead, followed by a lotus flower.

After the two sides met, the golden lotus only dimmed slightly, but it quickly recovered.

After Jia Rui's dragon energy missed a hit, he flew into the sky again and jumped down.

However, after several confrontations, Jia Rui's dragon energy still failed to overwhelm this dynasty's luck.

Later, Jia Rui's dragon spirit became really angry, and it flew into the sky again, roaring in the sky.

As he roared, countless golden fortunes converged on his body throughout the territory.

And its four-clawed dragon claw also began to change, and an illusory claw stretched out.

This time, the almost formed golden dragon of luck jumped down again.

This time, the lotus that was born could not be stopped, and it shattered with just one blow.

At the moment when the lotus shattered, in an ordinary temple in the southwest, an old monk violently vomited blood.

Several monks with white beards and hair nearby were shocked when they saw this scene and hurriedly went up to help him.

"Uncle Master's Group, Uncle Master's Group."

Following the gentle shouts of several people, the old monk finally opened his eyes again.

He looked at the juniors who were guarding him, and then said helplessly, "The secret has appeared and there is no way to save it."

This old monk is the only remaining great figure in Buddhism.

Now the entire Buddhist force in Jiangnan is under great pressure. If no action is taken, decades or hundreds of years of accumulation will be burned down.

Because of this, these big figures in Buddhism had to ask their ancestors who were hiding here to practice hard to stand up for them.

This old monk is also capable. He knows that Jia Rui is now in dire straits and Buddhism is no longer able to contend alone, so he simply suppresses Buddhism's luck into Ben's luck. He originally thought of two qi A combination of luck and luck can counter Jia Rui.

If this casting is successful, war will surely break out all over the south of the Yangtze River, and finally a new dynasty led by the descendants of the royal family will form in the south of the Yangtze River to compete with Jia Rui.
