Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 133 The Palace of Walking and Walking

The solemn imperial guards, holding knives, axes, guns and bows, walked in neat steps to clear the way at the front.

Dragon flags flutter, banners and banners, yellow umbrellas and umbrellas come one after another.The majestic and majestic guard of honor marched slowly, surrounded by jade scorpions that symbolized the identity of the emperor.

After Yu Ren followed, there were various carriages either luxuriously decorated or simple and low-key.This is the frame of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, each with several personal followers, following Xiao Cheng's guard of honor.

This kind of behavior, to the whole country, it is only said that His Majesty has personally led all the officials to listen to the lectures of Great Master Huikai of Ganye Temple.

In fact, the successive emperors of Yunguo respected Buddhism on the surface and guarded against it on the inside.

Regardless of how much he respected Buddhism before he ascended the throne, after ascending the throne, he was as ruthless as if he had been cheated by a scumbag. He would never express a good attitude towards Buddhism above the court, and even secretly suppressed it.

The emperor has such an attitude, and all the officials are naturally sensible.

Previously, he was an official in Yunguo, and if he wanted to be reused, he must not be a Buddhist follower.Even if it is, it cannot be revealed.The same is true after Wang Xiao came to power.

The atmosphere in the court is like this. Like now, the emperor leads all the officials in the court to listen to the monk's lecture in person. It's not even a thought.

Such a big battle, and such a rare event, naturally attracted the people in Zhongqing City to gather and stand outside to watch the excitement.

A large number of honor guards came to the gate of Ganye Temple in a mighty way.

At this time, all the officials who followed stuck out their heads one after another, quietly looking at the forbidden troops stationed and blocked around the Ganye Temple.

At this time, they all thought of the speeches in the city today, saying that the Buddhist sect colluded with the rebellion against the party and intended to cause chaos.They thought it was nothing but rumors before, but seeing this battle now, they all feel a little chilly in their hearts.

Today, His Majesty suddenly summoned all the officials to come to Ganye Temple to listen to some scriptures, it really is not that simple!
Yu Ren stopped slowly, and Xiao Cheng, who was wearing a black imperial suit and a twelve-pronged crown on his head, walked out with his hands behind his back.

The commander of the forbidden army who stayed at Ganye Temple immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice:
"Xing Cailiang, Lieutenant of the Forbidden Military Academy, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng took a look at the general of the Forbidden Army, and asked:

"Where's Di Qing?"

"I report to Your Majesty that Captain Didu stayed in the temple to guard against accidents and was unable to come to see His Majesty. Please make an apology to Your Majesty on your behalf!" the general of the imperial guard said respectfully.

Think about it, in this Ganye Temple, the head monk Huixing is a ninth-level master, and the rest of the monks have about dozens of seventh- and eighth-level masters.If taking advantage of the arrival of all the emperor's officials, a sudden attack would surely cause riots.

In order to avoid accidents, it is natural that a master like Di Qing needs to be in charge to prevent these monks from causing trouble and taking the opportunity to escape.

Xiao Cheng nodded and said:

"understood!"

Standing in place, Xiao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the majestic gate of Ganye Temple in front of him and the white marble steps stretching across the mountain in front of him.

Counting it, this should be the fourth time he has come to this Ganye Temple.

But after today, there shouldn't be a fifth time!
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng's eyes turned cold, he raised his legs, stepped on the white marble steps, and walked quickly towards the Ganye Temple.

Seeing this, a group of servants in the palace, imperial guards and many officials in the court quickly followed behind Xiao Cheng and went up the mountain.

Compared with the previous solemn and solemn Ganye Temple, which had the posture of a Buddha in the world, the temple at this time is particularly deserted because most of the monks are absent.

After entering the gate of the temple, you can see that in the temple, the imperial guards are holding hands everywhere, guarding them extremely tightly.

Most of the Buddhist halls and temples in the distance have been burned by fire.

On the ruined wall, the half body of the gold-plated bronze Buddha statue has been blackened by the smoke.

On the other half of the intact face of the Buddha statue, the eyes are slightly lowered, showing compassion and pity, as if pitying the ignorance and fearlessness of the people in the world.

Xiao Cheng glanced at it, and the first reaction in his heart was that he was slightly grateful.

Fortunately, the fire was extinguished in time, otherwise the money that was already in his pocket would have been a lot of losses!
A group of hundreds of officials followed behind Xiao Cheng, lowered their heads and glanced around from the corner of their eyes, looking at the image of ruins in front of them, their hearts became more and more flustered.

Not long after, under the guidance of the forbidden army, Xiao Cheng led all the officials to the front of the Daxiong Hall in Ganye Temple.

The majestic and magnificent Daxiong Palace has stood here for hundreds of years, but it has never encountered such a posture as it is today.

Thousands of imperial guards stationed here, their bows and crossbows were strung up, their spears were pointed obliquely, and they pointed directly at the Daxiong Palace, completely encircling the place.

Seeing Xiao Cheng leading all the court officials coming in a mighty manner, a group of imperial guards quickly stepped aside and led them into the palace.

The last details of Ganye Temple, dozens of Buddhist masters, are guarded here.

In the treasure hall, all the monks sat cross-legged in the main hall, bowed their heads and closed their eyes, clasped their palms together in front of their chests, reciting scriptures in their mouths, with an appearance of concentration, even Xiao Cheng and others came, and they never let them Interrupt the chanting.

Seeing Xiao Cheng's arrival, Di Qing hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Xiao Cheng, and apologized:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for the crime of negligence for failing to go to greet you!"

Xiao Cheng lifted him up casually, and said softly:

"You've done a good job. If you weren't here to watch, these people wouldn't be so honest!"

Without a master of the same level as Di Qing sitting in the town, it may not be possible to keep these monks with only thousands of forbidden troops outside.

Hearing this, Di Qing quickly thanked her and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng waved his hand, and was not in a hurry to interrupt these monks, he looked around the hall with great interest.

After all, it is the main hall of Ganye Temple. In the hall, there are decorated prayer flags and Huanmen, all of which are embellished with pearls, jade and gold threads.All kinds of magical instruments placed on the side, and even many of them are inlaid with gems.

The more Xiao Cheng looked at it, the happier he became.Looking at it, it looked a little bit up, and even ran directly in front of the Buddha statue, raised his hand and tapped it lightly twice.

Hearing the dull sound from the Buddha statue, the smile on Xiao Cheng's face became more and more rippling.

Hey, it's no wonder that this Buddha statue looks less than two feet away, and it always looks extraordinarily small when placed in this majestic and tall Daxiong Palace.This Buddha statue is made of pure gold!
Damn, this wave really made a lot of money!
Xiao Cheng himself was more and more happy, but the monks in the hall, listening to the muffled sound of him knocking on the Buddha statue, gradually became irritable in their hearts, and the originally calm and orderly voice of Sanskrit singing began to become chaotic.

Headed by the monk Huixing, listening to the chaotic sound of sutra chanting, he knew that the hearts of the monks were already confused, so he couldn't help but sighed softly, stopped chanting sutras, and opened his eyes to look at Xiao Cheng.

Hearing the sound of sutra chanting pause, Xiao Cheng also turned his head to look, just in time to meet Hui Xing's eyes.

Xiao Cheng coughed lightly, restrained the smile on his face, then shook his robe, and said:

"Master Huixing, I heard that the great master is leaving the customs today, and I personally led the officials of the court to come to listen to the great master's lecture."

Huixing looked at Xiao Cheng who was pretending to be serious, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't know how to speak.

Up to now, Huikai has not shown up yet, so there is no need to talk about his fate!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not because of Ganye Temple's negligence, but because the mage has not yet left the customs, and it is really impossible to lecture for His Majesty and all the officials." Hui Xing suppressed the anger in his heart, and gritted his teeth.

Today Xiao Cheng is not as arrogant as before, opening his mouth and shutting his mouth is to get mad, his attitude is surprisingly good.

Hearing that Huikai hadn't left the customs yet, Xiao Chengxian showed regret, shook his head and said:
"So that's the case, alas, I was in a hurry to say it! If I knew it earlier, I should have waited for the mage to leave the customs and notify me before I came here."

Xiao Cheng's sudden behavior stunned Hui Xing.

No, you didn't have such an attitude when you came here before!This is, what kind of tricks do you want to play?
On Xiao Cheng's side, he was still thinking about himself:

"However, all the officials in the court are involved in political affairs, and it is rare to find time to come here. It is not easy to let them go in vain. If this is the case, please ask Master Huixing to give us a lecture!"

By now, Huixing actually knew that people like himself would not escape disaster today.The only thing he cared about in his heart was that he didn't want Xiao Cheng to find an excuse to continue attacking Buddhism.

Xiao Cheng's attitude at this time made him immediately vigilant, wondering if Xiao Cheng had any other intentions.

As for Xiao Cheng, Hui Xing watched him with his own eyes, from pretending to be a fool to overthrowing Wang Xiao and regaining control of the government.Even Master Huikai, the leader of Buddhism, has been crushed by him before.

In Huixing's eyes, Xiao Chengna is a man with a deep scheming and sinister nature.Every move he makes, even a casual word, may hide some sinister means.

Now that everyone knows that Xiao Cheng wants to find an excuse to attack Buddhist disciples.Huixing thought he was not as thoughtful as Xiao Cheng, so in order to prevent falling into his tricks, he had no choice but to say nothing!

Huixing rolled his eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Di Qing standing beside Xiao Cheng, his face immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid today will not be able to fulfill His Majesty's wishes!"

Xiao Cheng frowned, and asked and answered:

"Why?"

Huixing pointed at Di Qing, with a solemn face, raised his head and said in a clear voice:
"Ganye Temple is a royal temple. It is supported by the royal family and has an extraordinary status. This Daxiong Hall is a pure and solemn place for Buddhism. But this general, he visited the hall many times last night, and his attitude was not good! This is not only for the Buddha. Being disrespectful means contemptuous of the royal family! The poor monk does not practice enough, this matter is stuck in his throat, and his heart is already filled with anger, how can he preach scriptures for His Majesty and all the officials."

Di Qing on the side was slightly dazed.

He was standing quietly at first, but he didn't want Huixing to suddenly turn the contradiction on himself.He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to defend himself, so he could only look at Xiao Cheng in a daze.

Hearing Huixing's words, the corner of Xiao Cheng's mouth twitched, he looked at Di Qing dumbfounded, and said:

"Your Majesty the Hall of Deeds and Deeds, human feelings are quite suspicious! If you commit such a crime, the dog in your family is probably going to grow horns soon!"

This Di Qing didn't know the ending in his original history book, his face flushed a little with anxiety, and he said in a low voice:

"The last general doesn't have a dog at home..."

Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing, waved his hands, and said:
"just kidding."

　This is written by Moyu at work today, I will get off work soon, I will post a chapter first...

　　As for the debts, I did the math, and I owed [-] words during this period, plus the monthly ticket reward.

　　I'm not saying that it will be returned in a day or two, it's too easy to be slapped in the face immediately.

　　Under the premise of [-] words a day, I paid back slowly.

　　The more anxious I was, the worse the quality of writing was. I dawdled past one point last night, and the writing was a mess, and most of it was deleted.
