Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 182 Deer Gate Academy
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Bao looked at the list in his hand and said to Xiao Cheng:

"Abbot Hui Bin of Hantan Temple, Abbot Hui Mian of Wanfo Temple, Abbot Huihua of Baofu Temple, Abbot Zhiru of Anyun Temple..."

The list that Feng Bao was thinking about was the group of monks who gathered together without telling Hui Qi and the other four, intending to hinder the peace talks between the two countries.

It's funny to say that these people made up their minds to assassinate Xia's mission in order to delay the peace talks between the two countries.As soon as the discussion was completed, Dongchang already knew about the plot and the list of participants through the spies placed in the Buddhist gate, and it was placed on Xiao Cheng's imperial table.

Xiao Cheng was busy reviewing the memorials at this moment, but he listened impatiently to Feng Bao reciting names one by one, without stopping his hands, without raising his head, he interrupted Feng Bao, saying:

"I don't need to report one by one, I just need to know how many Buddhist temples in various places are involved in the conspiracy!"

Hearing this, Feng Bao quickly closed the list in his hand, bowed and said:

"57 monks were involved in this matter, from various temples, a total of 41. Among them, there are [-] major temples supported by the royal family and the court. The rest of the participating temples are also the most popular temples in various states and counties. .”

Now Huiqi and Liuhuai are retreating step by step, and the monks who are anxious to watch the influence of Buddhism being weakened are all the vested interests of Buddhism today.

The vested interests in Buddhism are not these big temples supported by the imperial court, as well as the local temples with great incense and great influence.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng raised his head and said:

"No more? There are hundreds of temples in Yunguo, are you sure these are the only ones?"

When Feng Bao heard the words, he pondered for a while, and immediately understood what Xiao Cheng meant.

This is, let's make use of it!
Feng Bao immediately bowed his head and said:

"This servant is impatient, and I should have missed which ones. Please forgive me, servant, let someone check the list again."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded and said:
"You can't overcorrect. If you want to arrest the monks for questioning, you must have conclusive evidence."

Feng Bao laughed lightly when he heard this, and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there are not many clean people in Buddhism. There are plenty of evidence of their crimes in the hands of servants!"

After the change in Ganye Temple, those monks in Ganye Temple who seemed to have escaped by chance were actually almost all spies recruited by Feng Bao's Dongchang, who deliberately went out to inquire about news from the Buddhist sect.In addition, most of the monks in the Buddhist sect are not honest, so Feng Bao really does not lack evidence of guilt.

Having said that, Feng Bao paused slightly, and then said:

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to take care of Princess Xia?"

Xiao Cheng heard the words, his expression was flat, and he said casually:
"Let Nan Jiyun Qingqi rush to guard, so there is no need to send people there. What if there is too much movement, and these people from the Buddhist sect are frightened, what should I do if I shrink back from now on? People are playing around, this time it must be done once and for all!"

In Yunguo, Buddhism has too much influence. For 600 years, one family has been dominant, and there are no checks and balances such as Taoism. Most of the people believe in Buddhism.If he makes a big move to destroy the Buddha rashly, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the country, that's why Xiao Cheng is so cautious.

However, the layout during this time, pushing Monk Liuhuai to the top position, setting up a Sangha Department, recruiting wisdom and fans, and recruiting Monk Huiqi, has already grasped the highest discourse power of Buddhism in his hands.

Dealing with these fake monks who are full of greed and secular thoughts now can greatly weaken the strength of the secular sect in Buddhism.

Next, you only need to support Taoism casually to make them check and balance each other, and you can do it once and for all, so that religion can no longer become a threat to imperial power!

When Feng Bao heard the words, he immediately bowed and said yes.
-
Outside Zhongqing City, the old man in plain robes had his hands behind his back, and his eyes emitted a star-like deep brilliance, which would make those who stared at his eyes fall into it and lose their minds slightly.

In the line of sight of the plain robed old man, in front of Zhongqing City, the aura of Yunguo Sheji turned into dragons and tigers, circling above it.The fortune of the country has achieved auspicious clouds and visions, stretching for several miles.

Above the auspicious clouds, the whole body is purple, which is full of dignity. It hovers in the sky continuously, and the huge divine bird with magical light glows on its body, flying in mid-air.From time to time, the divine bird raised its head to the sky and cried, and its sound was as crisp as gold and jade colliding. Even the old man in plain robes was in such a state of mind that he couldn't help being shaken by it for a while.

And under the shroud of the miles of auspicious clouds manifested by the national destiny, there are several extremely conspicuous visions that gather together, blooming with their own brilliance, and are closely connected with the luck of the cloud country.Such a scene should be manifested by the visions of the outstanding people who served in the court of Yunguo.

After a while, the old man in plain robe breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say:
"When I watched the stars at night, the Ziwei Emperor's star was westward and southward, and it was dark and bright, and it was the image of the rejuvenation of the main country. Now I come to Yunguo and observe the atmosphere. I know that the fortune of this Yunguo is like the rising sun, and its momentum is getting bigger and brighter. , is full of vitality, and it doesn’t look like a dynasty that has lasted for 600 years and has begun to decline!”

Beside the old man, there are several young men in Taoist robes of the Yin Yang family, who are carefully waiting on the side.Hearing what the old man in the plain robe said, they were all shocked, and couldn't help but say:

"The suzerain's intention is to be optimistic about Yunguo?"

"From this point of view, I'm afraid that in the past hundred years, Yun Kingdom will be the dominant force in the world!"

"In that case, how can my Yin-Yang family miss it? We must take the lead in the ruling and opposition parties of Yun Kingdom as soon as possible, and we can't let Confucianism and Legalism take the lead!"

The plain robed old man in front of him is naturally the Patriarch of the Yin-Yang Family, the head of the Yin-Yang Family's sect, Xu Su.

Xu Su looked at the excited group of disciples, couldn't help chuckling, and said:
"Your Majesty the current emperor of the Yun Kingdom, although he has never actually seen it. But just looking at the means after he ascended the throne, the resourcefulness and martial arts he displayed is not at all like a weak-crowned boy. The Xia Kingdom Emperor also ascended the throne with a weak crown, but what he showed at that time Smart and resourceful, far worse than the emperor of Yun Kingdom..."

When all the disciples heard what Xu Su said, they were all stunned, not understanding why their suzerain suddenly compared Yun Huang and Xia Huang at this moment.

Seeing that the doormen didn't react, Xu Su shook his head slightly and said:
"What I want to say is that Emperor Xia knows how to secretly instigate a hundred families to fight after he ascended the throne, and he acts as a check and balance in the middle to prevent the court from being controlled by a certain family. You want the Yinyang family to dominate the Chaotang family in Yunguo , is nothing but a delusion!"

When everyone heard the words, their heads were suddenly smashed as if they were hit by a sledgehammer.

These disciples are all young disciples.Young people generally don't think things deeply.For various reasons, the elders who are close to the teacher will not teach them these things.

They were in Xia State before, and they only wanted to confront the various schools of thought, so as to increase the influence of the lay schools in the court.But they have never thought about why all these schools of thought have never come to a conclusion over the years.

Which theory is really popular in the court, and all the officials come from this family, then at that time, will it be useful for the emperor of a country to speak, or the head of the school?

Xu Su saw a group of disciples lost in thought, shook his head slightly, raised his hand to stroke his long white beard, and said with a smile:

"Let's go!"

At this time, all the disciples came back to their senses.

Seeing Xu Su stepping towards the east, everyone quickly pointed to the west and shouted:
"Sovereign, isn't the capital of Yunguo here?"

"Who said I'm going to Zhongqing City now?" Xu Su replied without turning his head when he heard the words.

I saw that his feet landed lightly, without picking up a speck of dust, his figure was extremely elegant and unrestrained, as if suspended in the air, and he went straight to the direction of the mountains in the east.

Seeing this, all the disciples of the Yinyang family could only step fast and chase in the direction where Xu Su left.

Xu Su's figure was floating, like Feng Xu Yufeng, and in a trance, he had already come to a mountain gate.

The mountain gate in front of me is quite brand new, as if it has just been erected.

On the top of the mountain gate, there are four large characters of "Lumen Academy". The font is fresh and elegant, beautiful and long, which is quite impressive.

"Deer Gate Academy?"

Xu Su looked at the mountain, and the mysterious and profound brilliance appeared in his eyes again.

In the line of sight that ordinary people can't see, two streams of morality rise slowly.

One of them has evolved into a vision of a bright mirror, in which all kinds of worlds are manifested, which is quite miraculous.And the other breath of fresh air turned into a fairy ganoderma growing on the cliff, giving people a sense of indifference that does not touch the mundane world.

Any disciple of the Yin-Yang family who practiced the secret arts in the sect and could observe the fate of the qi must have seen all kinds of visions manifested by the mutual interaction between the qi between the world and the heaven and the earth.

But the visions that Xu Su saw after he entered Yun Country gave him a different feeling.If he had to describe it, these visions should be more real than the visions he had seen before.

Xusu stretched out his palm slightly, feeling the breeze blowing across his body, and muttered to himself:

"There must be changes in this world that I don't know about!"

After a moment of silence, Xu Su narrowed his eyes, raised his legs and walked up the mountain.

This Lumen Academy should not have been established for a long time.Even the bluestone steps leading to the mountain have just been built.On both sides of the road, there are still some building materials scattered.

Walking up the stone steps, it didn't take long for Xu Su to see Lumen Academy, which had just been half built, appearing in front of him.

In the slightly messy academy, there are still craftsmen walking through it carrying wooden planks and stones, and there are even more sounds of craftsmen starting work in their ears.

And in such an environment, two old men in long robes with a calm demeanor found a large bluestone and sat cross-legged on it, talking about classics in their mouths.

The two quoted scriptures and classics, you said what I said, and explained all kinds of truths in a simple and simple way, which is fascinating.

Beside the two, more than a dozen young disciples of different backgrounds, some wearing brocade and fine clothes, some in commoner and straw sandals, were surrounding the two of them, listening attentively to their lectures.

Logically speaking, in such a complicated environment, how could anyone be able to calm down and listen to the class?
But at this time, more than a dozen disciples were fully absorbed in it, and they were not affected by the messy and dusty environment around them at all.

In the sight of Xu Su, the two old men on the bluestone slab, the vision above their heads was shining brightly, scattered with milky white light, covering the body of a dozen disciples around them.

Under the influence of the power of the vision, the students can concentrate on their studies without being affected by the chaotic and noisy movements of the outside world.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Su couldn't help being surprised.

Even though he had guessed before, Xu Su was surprised and shocked to see that the power of vision could affect the reality.

Sensing someone's attention, Sima Hui and Mr. Pang De froze for a moment, looked up and saw Xu Su standing in front, constantly looking at the two of them.

Sima Hui and Mr. Pound looked at each other, then laughed loudly and said:
"There are distinguished guests coming, if you are interested in elegance, you might as well come up and talk about it!"

Hearing the words, Xu Su came back to his senses slightly, his heart moved, he gave a slight salute to the two, and then walked forward slowly...
-
On the official road, the three thousand imperial guards were fully armed, with a solemn appearance, holding the extremely honorable queen's guard of honor, and headed towards Shicheng County.

The [-] forbidden troops in front of him were naturally the forbidden troops sent by Xiao Cheng to meet Xia Guo's mission.

At this moment, several fast horses came galloping.

At this moment, several knights came galloping up, holding up the red gold waist badge in their hands from a distance, with the words "Eastern Police Factory" on it, so that the imperial guards did not dare to stop them.

Several knights came straight to Nan Jiyun who was at the front, and then reined in the horses under his crotch, held up the middle east factory waist plate, bowed their heads slightly as a salute, and said in a deep voice:
"Huang De, head of the Yin Squad of Dongji Incident Factory, escorted His Majesty's secret decree, please General Long Xiang, Nan Jiyun, to receive the decree!"

Nan Jiyun heard the words, immediately got off the horse and knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice:
"The minister accepts the order!"

The head of the East Factory also turned over, took out the sealed secret decree from his arms, and solemnly handed it to Nan Jiyun.

Nan Jiyun got up slowly, opened the secret letter, glanced at it, and immediately put a serious face on his face and clasped his hands together.When he let go again, the seal had already been shattered by Nan Jiyun, turning into fly ash and falling to the ground.

After he finished handling the secret order, he cupped his hands at the Dongchang slaves in front of him and said:

"Please report back to Your Majesty, minister Nan Jiyun will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Several people from Dongchang, after bowing their heads in return, got on their horses and galloped away.

Nan Jiyun took a deep breath, his face returned to normal, he pointed to the faintly visible city ahead, and said to the lieutenant beside him:
"It's getting late, the brothers have been traveling hard recently, and we will be stationed in the city ahead tonight!"

Hearing the words, the lieutenant general looked at the still early sky, slightly astonished, and said cautiously:
"General, it's still early, isn't it..."

Nan Jiyun looked at the sun that was still overhead, but still insisted:
"Camp ahead tonight!"

Seeing Nan Jiyun's insistence, the deputy general suddenly remembered the secret decree that was sent just now, and suddenly had a guess in his heart.But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he immediately bowed his head and quickly arranged for someone to go down to deliver the order.

It was night, and the gate of the local garrison camp suddenly opened.

Under the leadership of Nan Jiyun, more than a hundred elite cavalrymen, dressed in common people's clothes, quietly left the large troop and took a small road towards the Xia Kingdom Mission.

　I didn't get lazy today, I spent the whole day sorting out my thoughts and sorting out the detailed outline of [-] words.This is to improve the efficiency in the future, and before the new year, all the chapters owed will be repaid...
