Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 91 First take the Longfu Temple for surgery, and let the monks and priests take care of you,
Chapter 91 First take the Longfu Temple for surgery, and let the monks and priests take care of you, and the killing is over!Hoarders, kill!
On the way back to Beijing, Ye Sheng received three imperial edicts.
His official position changed three times a day, and he was deeply speechless.
Entering Gyeonggi, he saw hungry people all over the place, and some even wore cotton-padded jackets and six-in-one hats, like outsiders, but with pale faces, huddled together with refugees.
After Ye Sheng asked, he found out that he was the master of Daxing Zhuangzi, because the rice store hadn't sold food for a few days, so he had to drag his family out to find something to eat.
I haven't eaten for two days, and I'm about to starve to death.
The first two days were better. I had to eat grass seed bark porridge. Although it didn't fill my stomach, at least I was still alive.
Today, there is no food at all. There is a barren land outside the city, and all edible and inedible things have been eaten up.
He wanted to go to the city to join his relatives, but the city gate was closed and guarded by soldiers, so he couldn't get in.
Panicked by hunger again, the whole family got together to scrape tree foam in the grove, mix it with snow, boil it and drink it.
Ye Sheng glanced at the woods outside the city, where countless refugees gathered around to boil water for drinking.
"Is there any disaster in Gyeonggi?" Ye Sheng was at a loss.
I asked a few people, and they said that there was no disaster, but that there was no food at home, so I went out to find something to eat.
In this green and yellow season, there is not even a root of green grass, where can I find food.
Ye Sheng looked at these people, they were all well dressed, they probably weren't disaster victims who had trekked from other places, they looked like locals, and their accent was also local, presumably it was somewhere in Gyeonggi that caused disasters, he had to write a memorial to His Majesty.
When he was questioning, another group came from Fangshan, all dressed well, but their eyes were green, especially when they saw Ye Sheng's carriage, they kept drooling.
"Fangshan also suffered a disaster?" Ye Sheng walked over to inquire.
"Master!"
At this time, a woman rushed over with a child, knelt on the ground, and grabbed the hem of Ye Sheng's official robe: "My lord, please take me in, I can do anything, as long as you give me a bite, what do you want?" Do anything!"
"You look down on me, my daughter, my daughter hasn't allowed anyone else, as long as you like her, you can let her be a fire maid. If you look at her high and reward her with a house, it's all the virtues of her ancestors." Alright, my lord, please do me a favor, please do me a favor!"
She tugged at the youngest son in her arms again: "He, he is smart, he can be your long-term follower! My lord, please do me a favor and take our mother and son in!"
Ye Sheng was stunned. Seeing that the sister-in-law was well dressed, she didn't look like a prostitute.
"My lord, my family is a clean family, and my man is a soldier, in the capital camp! If I was not so hungry, I wouldn't sell my son or daughter. In the past, my daughters came to ask for marriage endlessly. I didn't agree..."
Before the woman finished speaking, she burst into tears.
Seeing what she said, more than a dozen women ran over and knelt down, begging Ye Sheng to take them in.
"You all get up first, the old man has some money here, you take it to buy some food, and tide over the difficulties first." Ye Sheng smiled wryly, he was really at a loss.
"I don't want money, money is useless now, I want food!" a woman cried.
"If you have money, you can buy it." Ye Sheng persuaded earnestly.
But I didn't want the woman to take out a handful of silver and throw it on the ground: "What's the use of this thing! I can't eat or drink, and my family has it too! My family is Master Zhuang, and my man is the young master. He starved to death yesterday." , if you see how pretty I am, you can accept me! Woohoo!"
The other women also shouted, saying that they were innocent women, and they would do everything for a bite.
"Why is it so, why is it so!"
Ye Sheng sighed bitterly, what is the difficulty that forced these innocent women to give up their chastity?
He made another mistake of compassion.
"Sister-in-law, everyone, listen to me!"
"The old man is the official of the imperial court, so I will enter the palace and report to His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people, so there must be a way to help you."
"But please wait a little longer, the court must have a proper solution..."
Before Ye Sheng could finish speaking, a woman stood up and spat in a mouthful of "Yeah" and sprayed it on his face.
"It's that dog emperor who collects food at a high price, and that's why we have nothing to eat!" the woman roared angrily.
But it attracted voices of support from the refugees.
Ye Sheng was about to reprimand, but he saw that the crowd was excited, countless refugees scolded the emperor, scolded the court, and some even stared at him with red eyes.
My heart was frightened with compassion, and I didn't dare to answer.
Seeing that Ye Sheng was silent, he angered the refugees from Fangshan.
Pointing at Ye Sheng and cursing: "It's a dog official like you that made us starve!"
"Kill this dog officer!"
"Boil him and eat meat!"
The refugees who were shaking with hunger, when they heard the word "eat", their eyes turned blue, and they stared at Ye Sheng.
When Ye Sheng heard the sound of swallowing saliva, he secretly regretted it.
"I will give this horse to you all. I will enter the palace to report to His Majesty. You believe me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory..."
Before Ye Sheng finished speaking, he ran away.
Don't want anything, rush towards the city gate with all your might!
"Help! My official is Ye Sheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, open the city gate!" Ye Sheng shouted at the city gate while running.
"Don't let that dog officer go!" The first woman who knelt down leaped over vigorously.
Fortunately, Ye Sheng was caught by surprise and ran fast enough.
The woman wasted no time, and swallowed viciously: "He is the one who pushed the dog emperor, so that we can't get enough to eat! Eat him!"
Ye Sheng is thin, and usually attaches great importance to diet, and takes good care of it.
Although he was over forty years old, he ran extremely fast, and the refugees couldn't eat for a few days, so naturally they couldn't keep up with his footsteps.
But in a flash from the corner of his eye, he saw on the top of the city, the guards' bows were strung up, and the tips of the arrows flashed coldly.
He was so anxious that he took out the official quotation from his arms.
"I'm the minister! Don't shoot arrows, I'm the minister of the court, an official! This is the official robe, the official robe!"
In desperation, Ye Sheng pulled off his official robe and shook it in the wind, so that the soldiers on the city wall could see clearly.
"Don't do anything, the officials are under the city!" A small flag shouted.
Hurry up to report to the Shangguan, who came to have a look and saw Ye Sheng, like a monkey on a horse jumping, wearing obscene clothes and waving an official robe.
"It's an official, put down a hanging basket."
When Ye Sheng was hung up on the city gate, he vaguely saw the refugees chasing him before running under the city wall.
But the small flag on the city wall waved.
call out!call out!call out!
The arrow flew across the sky, and the sister-in-law who was about to sell her daughter to him got an arrow in her chest and fell to the ground.
There seemed to be some relief in her pupils.
Seeing the blood, the refugees dispersed.
However, Ye Sheng saw that someone was dragging the body of the sister-in-law. Her son and daughter tried their best to protect their mother, but they were kicked down by the outnumbered refugees.
"I can eat meat, I can eat meat..."
Ye Sheng seemed to hear the laughter of the refugees, and he shuddered.
Standing on the top of the wall, he suddenly laughed miserably, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Along the way, people's livelihood is very difficult.
He thought his heart was as hard as iron, but he still couldn't help crying.
"My lord, do you want to send your lord to the capital under the bid?" That Xiaoqi was quite ingratiating.
"No need, I can go."
The corners of Ye Sheng's mouth tugged, and he forced a smile: "What's your name?"
"Under Xing Han, I have met Master Shangshu!" Xiao Qi saluted respectfully.
"I will show your merits to His Majesty."
Xiaoqi named Xing Han was ecstatic and thanked him again and again.
But Ye Sheng didn't want to be hypocritical anymore, he wanted to enter the palace quickly and report the matter to His Majesty, so he said directly: "Prepare a carriage for me, and go to my house to pick it up at night."
"Under the bid!" Xing Han knew that he was going to fly into the sky if he flattered the Shangshu.
Looking at the prosperity in Beijing, Ye Sheng was full of sighs.
There is only a wall between them, but it is like heaven and hell.
However, he found a strange sight, there was a long queue at the entrance of the grain store.
The carriage was driving on the road, and he quickly wrote a memorial in the car, reporting what he saw and heard outside the city to the Holy Majesty, asking His Majesty to provide relief quickly so as not to cause disaster.
He entered the palace all the way and entered the Fengtian Hall.
Outside the palace gate, the emperor's roar was heard.
"What a gentleman!"
"Forcing farmers in Gyeonggi to sell their grain, and reselling it to me at a high price!"
"What a business! You are so shrewd!"
"it is good!"
"I don't need to ask you for money!"
"I don't dare to ask for it. I'm afraid that you will try to usurp the throne and kill me because of the money. What can I do!"
"Okay, I have a big heart, so I won't mention this article!"
"But what about the food? You come to me, what can I do!"
"Could it be possible that I can conjure food!"
Zhu Qiyu lost his temper in Fengtian Hall.
All the officials in Beijing knelt on the Fengtian Hall, and those who could not kneel in the hall knelt outside the hall, and the whole square was full of people kneeling.
Drenched in cold sweat, they all looked forward with treacherous eyebrows.
"You give me advice! I can't do anything!" After getting angry, Zhu Qiyu sat down on the dragon chair.
I wanted to kill, but an abyss appeared in front of me. Is it useful to kill?
"Your Majesty, I think it's better to be harsh!" said Dai Ang in the sixth division.
"kill?"
"Do you have a brain!"
"Is the problem the refugees outside the city?"
"Farmers in Gyeonggi have no food at home, how dare you say that the people in the city have surplus food?"
"Did they sell it too? They all made money from me?"
"Believe it or not, when I send out the soldiers from the nine sects, the city immediately collapses."
"I don't know if I can keep this Forbidden City, but your family must bear the brunt of it. I don't know what the hungry people will do if they rush in!"
Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood at first, and just enjoyed the feeling of being in power.
As a result, Chao Wenwu sent him a tiankeng!No, it's the abyss!
How chaotic the past dynasties are, isn't it just to have enough food!
If it can't be solved properly, wait until the end of Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid even Chongzhen is not as good.
Dion stepped back angrily.
"Li Xian, tell me, what can you do!" Zhu Qiyu called his name.
Li Xian looked bitter: "I have two methods, one is to urge the water transport Yamen to transport grain to Beijing as soon as possible; the other is to recover part of the grain to relieve the urgent need."
"Is this the way? Do I need you to say it? I don't have a brain, don't I know how to think?" Zhu Qiyu caught him and spit to death.
Li Xian knelt down, bowed his head, not daring to speak.
"Urgent, urgent, how to solve the meal tonight! Tell me!" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
"I think I can go to the temple to borrow some money." Li Xian said it bravely, not afraid of being scolded.
This is the countermeasure they discussed at Hu Mei's house.
"Go and borrow it, there's nothing I can do." Zhu Qiyu couldn't spare his face.
He simply lay on the dragon chair with his hands in his sleeves and closed his eyes.
Li Xian tried his best to wink at Hu Min.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that you can borrow it in the name of the court, and then return it to the temple after you have money and food. What do you think?" Hu Wei advised.
Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes and glanced at him: "Old Madam Fu, you won't participate too?"
Hu Yan was embarrassed to speak.
"Good guy, loyal minister of the court, I'm just a fool, what a fucking irony!"
"Whether it's loyalty or treachery, you know it well!"
Zhu Qiyu simply turned around and said, "Oh, you guys have thick skins, go borrow it yourself, I can't do anything, I'm just in Fengtian Temple, waiting for the hungry people to rush in, chop off my head and kick it as a ball, I admit it."
Seeing the emperor put down the pick, Hu Bi's face turned bitter: "Your Majesty, I still have to ask for your imperial decree..."
"roll!"
"You made a mistake, let me wipe your ass?"
"Please ask for my imperial decree, is it that I rob the farmers of their food? Or do I forcefully buy low and sell high to earn my own money?"
"Old Madam Fu, thank you for saying such words!"
Zhu Qiyu sat up angrily, with a compassionate expression: "Old master, how did you teach me? Have you forgotten? Teach me to be a wise king who loves the people like a son!"
"I did it. I sold Huangzhuang and Huangdian. I sold everything that can be sold in the palace!"
"For the sake of the war and the disaster victims, I ate porridge and pickles for more than half a month, and I couldn't even bear to eat an egg!"
"What about you?"
"Buy low and sell high, forced farmers into refugees, and sold the rations of millions of people in Gyeonggi!"
"Are you just greedy for the little money from selling food? Is your family really short of that little money? Old master!"
"What kind of money is that? Don't you know?"
"If you make a move, one person will die in Shandong!"
"This money, do you spend it with peace of mind? It's all blood-stained money!"
"I don't even have the face to talk about you!"
"I really don't know what the late emperor would think when he saw his important minister entrusted him to bury Daming with his own hands?"
"I thought you wanted to be Yu Wenhuaji!"
"As a result, you are not even as good as Yu Wenhuaji!"
Zhu Qiyu scolded Hu Min bloody.
Hu Mi burst into tears like rain.
He always thought that he was maintaining Daming's artifact, but he didn't know that the person who personally dug out the roots of Daming was actually himself!
"The old minister is guilty!"
"The veteran is ashamed of the late emperor, Taizong and Renzong!"
"The old minister is inferior to anyone, the old minister is the most stupid minister in the ages!"
"It was the old minister who harmed Daming!"
Hu Mi kowtowed continuously, crying: "The old minister is willing to apologize with death!"
It's over!Overacting again?
This old slick!
Originally wanted to take the opportunity to cut down on Hu Yu's power, but who would have thought that Hu Yu would not hold back his hands and invite him to death, which is cunning enough.
"Your Majesty, this is a serious crime committed by the ministers. It is the ministers who are greedy for petty gains. Please forgive me!" Li Xian knelt on the ground and excused Hu Wei.
"All right!"
Zhu Qiyu took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey: "I prepared the Tianzi sword at first, and planned to kill all the court, and then committed suicide to apologize."
"But think about it, I'm the emperor, I can't be a coward! Escape from reality."
"Old master, get up too, everyone get up."
"Think of a way, how to get through this period of time, just don't die!"
"Let's not talk about the stupid way of sending troops to kill all the refugees. The millions of people in the capital, even the whole of Hebei and half of Henan, can they be killed?"
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Zhu Qiyu didn't fight anymore, he just caught Wang Zha, and he was very happy, but he stopped playing, and his mood was like a dog.
"The veteran thought that borrowing food from monks and Taoists was the only way!"
"Your Majesty will urge water transportation again, and more grain will be transported to Beijing."
"I will urge grain from Henan and Liaodong, and transport some from the nearest one to solve the urgent need. I will return it to them afterwards, or buy it..."
Before Hu Min finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu glanced at him.
still buy?
Want Henan and Liaodong to repeat this scene?
"Old Madam Fu, go borrow it from the monk. I can't make this imperial decree, so let's pass it on orally." Zhu Qiyu didn't want to leave anything to say.
"The old minister thinks that every family comes to borrow, which is easy to cause misunderstanding."
"Or let the people in Beijing know that there is a shortage of food in the capital, so that people will be uneasy and cause panic."
"Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity of Spring Dragon Day to hold a grand Buddhist and Taoist event in the palace, and invite eminent monks, Taoist priests, and lamas from Beijing and China to enter the palace to participate in the grand event."
"It's just right for us, please ask the temple for a sum of food."
Hu Yan is bad enough, let's have a one-pot meal.
However, in this way, the emperor's reputation must be rotten among monks and Taoists.
Unless Zhu Qiyu is willing to reward the monks and give them what they want, the storm can be resolved.
Hu Wei just wanted to use political concessions in exchange for temple borrowing.
After all, it's all a disadvantage to me, and you are taking advantage of it.
"Old Madam Fu, this strategy is not impossible, but I just want to know how much food is lacking in the capital?" Zhu Qiyu nodded slowly.
Hu Yan was also confused, and turned to look at Li Xian and the others.
Everyone was confused.
But at this moment, Ye Sheng asked to see the king.
"Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Ye Sheng, may I ask for your peace!" Ye Sheng knelt on the ground after saluting.
"I'm safe!"
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up.
Ye Sheng submitted a memorial, describing what he saw and heard outside the city.
"How could it be so serious?" Hu Yan was taken aback.
"Hu Shangshu, I only see the tip of the iceberg. The real situation is probably ten times more serious!"
Ye Sheng didn't know that Hu Wei was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials and was named Taifu, so he was called so.
Li Xian looked at Lin Cong, Lin Cong looked at Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi looked at Wang Hong, and everyone looked at each other.
"Shouldn't be."
Wang Hong murmured: "We do collect grain, but officials have enough money. How much grain can the household department buy with 19 taels of silver? How can it be so serious?"
"Yes!"
These are mature guys who immediately realized what the problem was.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone is hoarding!"
Wang Wen knelt on the ground and said harshly: "Your Majesty, please send out the Jinyi Guards to search the Beijing Zhongliang Store, and the proceeds will surely be enough to feed the hungry people!"
That's right.
Someone must be hoarding, because the news of the flood in Shandong spread, and the palace raised money, so they must buy food for relief.
Such a good opportunity to make money, how could the shrewd businessman of Ming Dynasty miss it?
"Hmm." Zhu Qiyu pondered.
It's no problem to kill a few merchants.
However, what if the grain from the grain merchant is not in Beijing?Wouldn't you startle the snake?
"Who's running the food business?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
The courtiers are all pure husbands who read sage books, so how could they do things full of copper stink?
It can be said well in the sage books that the emperor does not compete with the people for profit, his official is not the emperor, his official is the people.
"I'm not looking for responsibility, but I want to know where is the warehouse of the grain merchants in Beijing?" Zhu Qiyu eased his tone.
Hu Wei, Lin Cong, and Li Xian looked at Mu Zhuang.
Mu Zhuang's face was pale, and he stammered, "There is a small grain shop in Weichen's house!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes sharpened, you probably have a part in hoarding!
"Say! Where is the grain merchant's warehouse?"
Mu Zhuang was shocked: "According to what I know, there are three major grain merchants in Beijing, all of whom are merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. They transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital for sale."
"The general warehouses are located near the water transport terminal."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, Zhang Wan!
"His Majesty!"
But Hu Wei stopped him: "Your Majesty, it is better to send someone to find out the facts first, and we can't do it immediately. Once the grain merchants are prepared, it will be difficult to handle."
This is the old saying of seeking the country.
However, Zhu Qiyu glanced at the officials in Beijing.
The backers behind these grain merchants are all standing in the hall.
You said, do they care about the life and death of the people, or their own pocketbooks?
It must be the money bag, otherwise how could it be so ruthless to buy back the rations of millions of people in Gyeonggi, is it just to sell it to the Ministry of Households for a high price?
What if they are not satisfied and want a higher price and sell it to the common people?
"I will give you a chance, stand up!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up from the dragon chair: "Now is the autumn of critical life and death, the country and the country are in your thoughts!"
"Once the refugees become rebels, it will not do you any good to cause chaos in the capital!"
"What's the use of hoarding so much food?"
"I'm not a king who takes money by chance. I buy it with money. It's the same as last time. The household department collects grain, and you set the price. How about it?"
"Come on, I'll pretend nothing happened, okay?"
Zhu Qiyu spoke dryly, but no one stood up.
The backstage of the grain merchants all pretended to be dead in court.
who can that be?
"Mu Zhuang!" Zhu Qiyu called his name.
"Weichen has nothing to do with merchants, please learn from your majesty!" Mu Zhuang kowtowed like garlic.
"Lin Cong!" Zhu Qiyu called his name again.
Lin Cong lay on the ground: "I really don't know."
"Old Madam Fu! Tell me, who is the backer of the grain merchant in the court!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were like a knife.
"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know." Hu Wei prevaricated.
Li Xian was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, since it is buying, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble. The Ministry of Households will list and buy grain from grain merchants. As you said, they will set the price and they will definitely sell grain to the Ministry of Households." .”
"Are you Li Xian paying?" Zhu Qiyu's tone was dark.
"Ah?" Li Xian was taken aback. Didn't you just say that you came out?
"What are you talking about if you don't pay! Your family is taking advantage of Wanguan, so go buy it!" Zhu Qiyu was furious, it was a joke, okay?
I am crazy, spending money to buy grain from grain merchants?
They have ruined my country and society, and I will punish their nine clans!Still spending money?Burn it, let them go underground to spend it!
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Li Xian was naive.
"Okay! No one stands up!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't pretend anymore: "I sent people from Dongchang to raid the warehouses of the grain merchants! You just wait in the palace, even the slightest rumor is not allowed to come out of the palace!"
It is said that the grain merchant has no backer, even if Zhu Qiyu was killed, he would not believe it.
In order to get the food smoothly, there is no choice but to shut down the center.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark: "I will give you one last chance, take the initiative to stand up, and I will spare your family's life!"
"Otherwise, when I throw these profiteers into the prison and recruit you, then I will make it difficult for you to seek death!"
The courtiers knelt down to apologize, but no one came out.
"Okay, you guys are ruthless!"
"Let all civil and military officials accompany you, and let the world stop, just for a few bullshit merchants, good!"
"Decree Jin Zhong, do it!"
"Send another order to Song Jie, Li Jin, guards, horse breeders, and listen to Jin Zhong's transfer!"
"Pass the decree again to transport the yamen, and cooperate with Jin Yiwei! Those who disobey the order will be executed!"
"As long as I want food, anyone can die! The court only needs food!"
"Pass me my lunch, I'll eat it here!"
Zhu Qiyu looked hopefully, hoping to get some food.
These hoarding grain merchants must be killed!
Dare to smash the jobs of millions of people in the capital, smash the world, these damn merchants, all the ten clans!No pardon!
……
Since last night, Cao Jixiang has been hunting people in various prisons.
Especially those who were severely tortured and whose family members were in the city, all were fished out.
He spent money again, and recruited a group of market thugs to come in.
The grass-roots team of the patrol camp has been set up.
Cao Jixiang and Fang Xing didn't sleep all night.
"Admiral!"
A wounded man knelt in front of Cao Jixiang.
"You are a killer, you are really lucky, you are still alive."
Cao Jixiang looked at him and grinned grimly: "The emperor has reused us again, so we have to put on a show!"
"My maidservant respectfully obeys the order of the admiral!" Jiang Mian gritted his teeth, his toes were all cut off, not to mention the number of injuries on his body.
"Our family doesn't care what you think in your heart, our family only wants the result!"
Cao Jixiang looked at everyone suddenly: "You are all sinners! The emperor gave us a chance to live, don't you cherish it?"
"cherish!"
Looking around, in the patrol camp, the kindest person is actually the thief.
The thief's name was Zhang Qian, and he looked at these patrolling soldiers covered in the whole world with a little horror. He thought he was bad enough, but who would have thought that he would be the kindest one after entering the patrolling camp.
His boss, Xiaoqi Laisan, had seven or eight lives in his hands, and was rescued by Cao Jixiang from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
The general banner is even worse and has participated in the rebellion.
Baihu is the eunuch Jiang Mian, who is said to have participated in the theft of the Liku.
Who are these people, what are they doing?
Zhang Qian was scared.
"With a team of a hundred households, go to the city to destroy all the shops that make and sell incense! Don't let any one go!"
Cao Jixiang sternly said: "This governor personally led a team to temples and Taoist temples to destroy incense sticks!"
"I'm afraid, stand up, our family will finish him with a knife, so as not to go back to prison and suffer."
"Our family will only give you half a day's work. If there is another incense stick in the city, our family will find a hundred households in charge of the area. If we find one, our family will take a part from your body! You choose it yourself, and our family Chop directly!"
The entire patrol camp was trembling.
Cao Jixiang turned to look at the document: "Is it finished?"
"Respond to the admiral's words, and it's finished." The clerk was missing a hand, and was still wearing a prison uniform, which was full of blood and sour smell.
"You guys, every time you destroy a place, post one!"
"It's going to be posted all over the city!"
"Again, Master Xiucai, please read in front of the notice, so that the neighbors in the neighborhood can hear it clearly!"
"Spend some more money and make it into a song for the children to read in the street!"
"Remember it all for our family!"
"In the city, those who burn incense privately will be beaten ten times! All incense in the city must be purchased in the patrol camp!"
"You are not allowed to increase the price, and sell according to the price on the notice; private sales are not allowed, and greed for money is not allowed. If our family finds out, whoever dares to lie, our family will chop off your family's dog's head!"
Cao Jixiang's voice became harsher: "The emperor asked our family to sell 50 taels a day, and we will start counting today."
"If you can't sell the quota, you will pick the parts from our family."
"Our family also tells you that before the emperor picks our family, our family will pick yours first!"
"Calculate yourself, how many parts are there on your body, enough for our family to pick!"
"set off!"
Cao Jixiang was too lazy to talk nonsense and led the team directly to the temple.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, he plans to challenge the most difficult one first, Longfu Temple (Five Pagoda Temple).
Longfu Temple was built by the emperor. It was built in the third year of Jingtai, and it was built with Nangong trees.
At that time, in order to better monitor the Supreme Emperor, the emperor cut down the trees in the Nangong Palace in the name of building Longfu Temple, and built Longfu Temple with this tree.
Longfu Temple is not simple. It is a temple where Fan and Zen live together.
The Lama Basuo Fazhuan is the mage who empowered the emperor. The master of Basuo Fazhuan is Ke Zhujie, the disciple of Fatai Tsongkhapa, and has a very high status.
Although he is not in Beijing now, his apprentice Lama Qiangyal is permanently stationed in Beijing, and often enters the palace to explain Buddhism to the emperor.
Zen Master Huijing, an eminent Zen monk, was also the emperor's guest.
It can be said that Longfu Temple is the most favored temple by the emperor, so Cao Jixiang decided to start with Longfu Temple first, from difficult to easy.
Looking at the crowded Longfu Temple, Cao Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief.
For the sake of my life, go!
He first saluted and then entered the temple, and first discussed with the abbot.
Lama Xiangqianjia and Zen Master Huijing will not see him, and Zen Master Piran is in charge of the daily affairs of the monastery.
"Eunuch, there is no need to be more polite. This matter still needs to be reported to the host by the poor monk. Please wait a little bit, Eunuch."
Zen Master Pi Zang was also speculating on what identity Cao Jixiang had come to Longfu Temple to make trouble, and did the emperor know about it?
"Also please hurry up, Zen Master Piran."
Cao Jixiang was secretly annoyed, if before seizing the door, how could Pi Zang dare to talk to him like this?
Hmph, the temples in Beijing are not supported by our family and others. If there is no support from our family and others, what are you guys!
"Grandpa Cao, please wait a moment." Zen Master Pi Zang decided to delay.
After drinking two cups of tea, Cao Jixiang couldn't sit still.
Looking at the sky outside, there are as many as a thousand temples in Beijing, large and small, and each family has notified them, who knows when they will be able to collect money.
If all the time is wasted in Longfu Temple, I am afraid that the parts on his body will not be enough for the emperor to cut!
"Come on! Block the door first!" Cao Jixiang shouted.
Chan Master Pican opened his eyelids and laughed at Cao Jixiang for not being able to hold his breath.
"Eunuch Cao, wait a moment, Zen Master Huijing is entering meditation, please wait quietly, and I will answer you at that time." Bi Zang said.
"How long will it take?" Cao Jixiang really didn't want to tear himself apart with Longfu Temple.
Whether it is Zen Master Huijing or Lama Qianjia, he can't afford to offend.
"It's coming soon." Pi Zang was grinding Cao Jixiang's temper.
Cao Jixiang paced back and forth, his eyebrows tangled.
Seeing Pi Zang's appearance of loving and unreasonable, Cao Jixiang knew very well that this was Huluo Pingyang being bullied by dogs, and seeing that he had lost his power now, he didn't like him.
"Zhan Master Viran, you and I are old acquaintances."
"Our family believes in Buddhism, so we have spent a lot of incense money these years."
"Just take it as a convenience for our family, okay?"
"This is the emperor's mission from the emperor. Our family really has no time to wait."
Cao Jixiang said so earnestly, he really didn't want to tear his face.
"If Eunuch Cao is impatient, you can go to other temples to inform first. After Zen Master Huijing has a reply, the poor monk will send a little novice to inform Eunuch Cao. What do you think?"
Pi Zang is still a bureaucratic accent, so the hand dragging formula is well used.
Cao Jixiang figured it out, the incense money for these years has not formed any incense love.
"Where is Zen Master Huijing? Let's find him personally!"
Pi Zang waved his hand, and the little novice blocked Cao Jixiang's body.
"Chan Master Huijing settled down and communicated with my Buddha."
"If you have the idea of becoming a Buddha immediately, how can you allow ordinary people to disturb you?"
"To put it bluntly, even if His Majesty is here, you have to wait for the Zen master to recover before you can enter to discuss Buddhism."
According to the implication of the words, what kind of thing are you, Cao Jixiang!
Cao Jixiang gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice, "Please give me a certain time, Master Zen!"
Piran closed his eyes, not bothering to talk to him.
"Zen Master, how about giving our family face and the emperor's face, and let our family talk to Zen Master Huijing in person?" Cao Jixiang begged.
Bi Ran closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Zen Master, we are begging you, will it work?"
"After paying the emperor's errand, our family will come back and kowtow to the Zen master to make amends."
"The Heavenly King Hall in the temple hasn't been repaired yet, right? Our family paid the money, okay?" Cao Jixiang was angry in his heart, but he still forced himself to say something nice.
But Bi Zang just didn't speak, and didn't let him go to see him.
Just as he was about to move, the little monk stopped in front of him.
"Vibran!"
Cao Jixiang yelled: "Our time is limited, please Zen Master Huijing come out!"
"Silence!"
Pizhuan slowly opened his eyes: "Eunuch Cao's anger is overwhelming, and he is very angry. Disciple, go make a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Eunuch Cao, let him calm the fire, and the peace of mind will naturally be empty."
"Quiet your head!"
Clang!
Cao Jixiang drew out his knife and slashed at Pi Zang's body!
"what!"
The little novice just tried to stop him, and bumped into the blade, screamed, and fell to the ground.
But Cao Jixiang drew back the knife and put it on Pi Zang's neck, with a ferocious and ferocious face, he shouted, "We ask you, where is Huijing?"
Pi Zang was taken aback, he could no longer pretend to be an eminent monk, and tremblingly said: "You, how can you kill, kill in the pure place of Buddhism?"
呲!
The knife was pressed down, the blade was embedded in the skin, and blood came out like urine.
Pi Zang was stunned, it was his blood, and it gave him a slap in the face.
"My family asks you, where is Huijing?" Cao Jixiang doesn't care whether he will retaliate or not, let's save his own life first!
This bullshit monk is really annoying, mocking our family, looking down on our family, okay, let our family die, and take you on the same journey!
Pi Zang pointed to the hall above, he kept trembling: "It hurts, it hurts..."
"You know it hurts too? Huh? Give our family a little bit of affection! Huluopingyang was bullied by dogs! Go to hell!"
Cao Jixiang's face was ferocious, and he slashed down with the knife, directly slicing open Pi Zang's throat.
"Come on!"
"Seal the temple gate to our house, leaving only one gate!"
"All the incense in the temple was burned!"
"No one is allowed to touch, kill those who block it! Kill those who touch it!"
Cao Jixiang yelled, you forced our family to kill!
"Follow the admiral's order!" A carefree voice came from outside the hall.
These are all hooligans, they like to cause damage, they like to smash and rob.
Cao Jixiang didn't even bother to find any Zen master, so he just sat in the main hall and watched Pi Zang die little by little, feeling inexplicably happy.
"Be quick with your hands and feet, and go to the next one right away!"
Cao Jixiang's thoughts became clear and he felt better.
That's how it should be.
The emperor let our family out to kill the Quartet, not to come out to be angry!
Anyway, our family's life is counting down, so I'm afraid of a bird!People are dead and birds are upside down, our family has no birds, so what are you afraid of!
At this time, Zen Master Huijing came in in a panic, who was in meditation: "Eunuch Cao, how can you kill someone!"
"Zen Master Huijing? Are you in meditation?"
Cao Jixiang looked at him sarcastically: "Aren't you wandering in the sky? Are you looking for the traces of the Buddha? Do you want to become a Buddha immediately? What? Not a Buddha? Come to see our picky man? Don't you think it's dirty? Zen master?"
"You, you dare to be rude in Longfu Temple, I will go to Fengtian Hall to sue you! This old monk will ask His Majesty to preside..."
Huijing stopped talking halfway.
Because Cao Jixiang slapped his face with the bloody knife.
Snapped!Snapped!
With the hot blade, it slapped him on the face.
Huijing stopped talking abruptly, her face full of horror: "Cao, Eunuch Cao, what are you going to do?"
"It's Admiral." Cao Jixiang sat upright.
Huijing was a little scared, and called out "Admiral Cao".
Cao Jixiang grinned, full of sarcasm.
Then stood up respectfully, picked up the notice from another chair, and unfolded it for him to read: "Here comes the emperor's word of mouth! From now on, the incense burned by the believers in the city must be purchased at the patrolling camp, and private production and private sales are not allowed!"
He gave the notice to Zen Master Huijing.
When Zen Master Huijing saw it, he almost had a cerebral thrombosis: "This, this is a robbery!"
Snapped!
Cao Jixiang slapped him hard on the face with the blade of the knife, leaving a bloodstain on Zen Master Huijing's fleshy face.
Zen Master Huijing gritted her teeth and refused to cry out.
"What did you say?"
Cao Jixiang asked him: "Your words are enough to chop off your head!"
Zen Master Huijing was furious, it must be traitors like Cao Jixiang who bewitched Sheng Ting, and His Majesty made such a foolish trick!
No, I will enter the palace right now, please give me an explanation from Your Majesty!
However, facing Cao Jixiang's burning eyes, he softened all over: "My old man made a slip of the tongue."
"Kneel down!" Cao Jixiang snorted coldly.
Zen Master Huijing gritted her teeth, knelt down facing the Forbidden City, and kowtowed.
"On all the walls, notices must be pasted. No one is allowed to damage it. If a corner is damaged, our house will stop the incense burning in Longfu Temple for one day."
"Send a monk in the temple to preach before the announcement and tell all pilgrims to go to the patrol camp to buy incense."
"Of course, the patrol camp will set up a small flag at the gate of the temple, and you can buy it at the gate."
"Also, head incense is burned every day in the temple, and the head incense costs 100 taels of silver per stick."
"Whether our family burns it yourself in your temple, or the pilgrims are willing to pay for it, our family will see the money."
"If the pilgrims in the temple are willing to pay, they can be auctioned. There is no upper limit on the price, and the one with the highest price will get it."
"There are also tail incenses. You can buy them in the temple. One stick is ten taels of silver. The price is not high. You burn three sticks in front of each Buddha statue. Our family has counted how many Buddha statues there are in the temple, and we will charge as much. Don't worry, it's not much." Take you."
"As for the others, our family hasn't thought of them yet. When we think about them, they will be posted on the wall together, and the temples and temples in the whole city will be the same, without exception! No exceptions are allowed in our family!"
After listening to Cao Jixiang's words, Zen Master Huijing felt incredible: "How can the pure place of the Buddhist family be contaminated with the smell of copper?"
"Zen Master Huijing, if you insist on saying this, please donate the silver that the pilgrims donated to the temple and give it to our family. Our family is not afraid of the smell of copper!"
Cao Jixiang sneered: "Don't say no, our family has donated to you a lot these years, Zen Master Huijing."
Huijing bowed her head and remained silent.
The prevalence of Buddhism and Taoism in Beijing is directly related to the eunuch's belief in Buddhism.
Let’s just say that Wang Zhen’s family temple is comparable in size to Longfu Temple.
Cao Jixiang spends tens of thousands of taels of silver in every year, and Cao Jixiang knows how much money there is in the temple.
"Eunuch Cao...Admiral Cao, let's take a moment to talk." Zen Master Huijing understands, doesn't the eunuch just want that, here it is.
"What are you doing? You want to bribe our family? Hmph, this is Huangchai, Huangchai, do you understand? Does our family dare to think wrongly? Huh?"
Cao Jixiang pushed him away: "Zhan Master Huijing, you can collect the body of Chan Master Pi Zang, our family doesn't have that skill!"
"Remember, don't play tricks with our family. If you find a piece of incense that shouldn't be in Longfu Temple, our family will open your head!"
As he spoke, Cao Jixiang patted his bare head.
Zen Master Huijing was so angry that he wanted to cry. He is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. How many times he went to the palace to explain Buddhism to His Majesty, and His Majesty treated him as a teacher.
But Cao Jixiang patted him on the head like this.
Like slapping a watermelon, crackling.
"Lama Qianjia, you go and explain it to him and let him do it!"
Cao Jixiang walked out of the hall and yelled: "Are you done? Why are you so slow to build a door?"
"You? Why don't you fucking collect the incense, what are you doing touching that little girl? Hurry up and be careful who you eat!"
"Limit your time to wait for a cup of tea. If you can't do it well, our family will kill you!"
Zen Master Huijing couldn't help shivering.
Looking at Cao Jixiang again, he seems to be a lunatic, not only killing monks, but also killing his own people?
Look at the people he brought, those with wounds, dirty hands and feet, and hooligans, the only one who seems to be normal is actually stealing a pilgrim's purse...
Who are these people!
No, this old monk must enter the palace and report to His Majesty, and we must not let scoundrels like Cao Jixiang ruin His Majesty's reputation!
Absolutely not!
If you threaten with your life, you will work fast.
Cao Jixiang left a small flag, five people with a small flag: "You wait at the gate and start collecting money, according to our family's regulations, don't collect too much, don't collect less, don't take too much, remember our family's words, Watch out for the parts on your body!"
"Sign up and obey!"
The five people in this small flag knelt on the ground, trembling.
In front of Cao Jixiang, they were sheep, but when Cao Jixiang left, they showed their vicious nature, and they were all wolves, tigers and leopards.
"Listen to the motherfuckers!"
"One stick of incense and one tael of silver, if you enter the temple, you have to buy it, and if you don't buy it, you have to buy it!"
A burly man, holding a knife, slapped the blade on the table: "As long as you pass this street, you have to enter the temple! To enter the temple, you have to buy incense!"
A pilgrim dressed as a scholar cowardly said: "Didn't the notice say a copper coin?"
"Do you have the final say or I have the final say? I say one tael, and it's one tael! You give me a tael first!"
The little flag directly put the knife on the scholar's neck.
"This is a robbery, this is a robber!" Xiucai was so angry that he cried bitterly.
"If you don't believe it, you will pay for it!"
"Let you meet the Buddha, and it will be cheap for you to spend one tael of silver!"
"Hmph, if you buy incense from the uncle, you can see the Buddha, so this is the price!"
Xiaoqi has a fierce expression on his face.

(End of this chapter)
On the way back to Beijing, Ye Sheng received three imperial edicts.
His official position changed three times a day, and he was deeply speechless.
Entering Gyeonggi, he saw hungry people all over the place, and some even wore cotton-padded jackets and six-in-one hats, like outsiders, but with pale faces, huddled together with refugees.
After Ye Sheng asked, he found out that he was the master of Daxing Zhuangzi, because the rice store hadn't sold food for a few days, so he had to drag his family out to find something to eat.
I haven't eaten for two days, and I'm about to starve to death.
The first two days were better. I had to eat grass seed bark porridge. Although it didn't fill my stomach, at least I was still alive.
Today, there is no food at all. There is a barren land outside the city, and all edible and inedible things have been eaten up.
He wanted to go to the city to join his relatives, but the city gate was closed and guarded by soldiers, so he couldn't get in.
Panicked by hunger again, the whole family got together to scrape tree foam in the grove, mix it with snow, boil it and drink it.
Ye Sheng glanced at the woods outside the city, where countless refugees gathered around to boil water for drinking.
"Is there any disaster in Gyeonggi?" Ye Sheng was at a loss.
I asked a few people, and they said that there was no disaster, but that there was no food at home, so I went out to find something to eat.
In this green and yellow season, there is not even a root of green grass, where can I find food.
Ye Sheng looked at these people, they were all well dressed, they probably weren't disaster victims who had trekked from other places, they looked like locals, and their accent was also local, presumably it was somewhere in Gyeonggi that caused disasters, he had to write a memorial to His Majesty.
When he was questioning, another group came from Fangshan, all dressed well, but their eyes were green, especially when they saw Ye Sheng's carriage, they kept drooling.
"Fangshan also suffered a disaster?" Ye Sheng walked over to inquire.
"Master!"
At this time, a woman rushed over with a child, knelt on the ground, and grabbed the hem of Ye Sheng's official robe: "My lord, please take me in, I can do anything, as long as you give me a bite, what do you want?" Do anything!"
"You look down on me, my daughter, my daughter hasn't allowed anyone else, as long as you like her, you can let her be a fire maid. If you look at her high and reward her with a house, it's all the virtues of her ancestors." Alright, my lord, please do me a favor, please do me a favor!"
She tugged at the youngest son in her arms again: "He, he is smart, he can be your long-term follower! My lord, please do me a favor and take our mother and son in!"
Ye Sheng was stunned. Seeing that the sister-in-law was well dressed, she didn't look like a prostitute.
"My lord, my family is a clean family, and my man is a soldier, in the capital camp! If I was not so hungry, I wouldn't sell my son or daughter. In the past, my daughters came to ask for marriage endlessly. I didn't agree..."
Before the woman finished speaking, she burst into tears.
Seeing what she said, more than a dozen women ran over and knelt down, begging Ye Sheng to take them in.
"You all get up first, the old man has some money here, you take it to buy some food, and tide over the difficulties first." Ye Sheng smiled wryly, he was really at a loss.
"I don't want money, money is useless now, I want food!" a woman cried.
"If you have money, you can buy it." Ye Sheng persuaded earnestly.
But I didn't want the woman to take out a handful of silver and throw it on the ground: "What's the use of this thing! I can't eat or drink, and my family has it too! My family is Master Zhuang, and my man is the young master. He starved to death yesterday." , if you see how pretty I am, you can accept me! Woohoo!"
The other women also shouted, saying that they were innocent women, and they would do everything for a bite.
"Why is it so, why is it so!"
Ye Sheng sighed bitterly, what is the difficulty that forced these innocent women to give up their chastity?
He made another mistake of compassion.
"Sister-in-law, everyone, listen to me!"
"The old man is the official of the imperial court, so I will enter the palace and report to His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is concerned about the country and the people, so there must be a way to help you."
"But please wait a little longer, the court must have a proper solution..."
Before Ye Sheng could finish speaking, a woman stood up and spat in a mouthful of "Yeah" and sprayed it on his face.
"It's that dog emperor who collects food at a high price, and that's why we have nothing to eat!" the woman roared angrily.
But it attracted voices of support from the refugees.
Ye Sheng was about to reprimand, but he saw that the crowd was excited, countless refugees scolded the emperor, scolded the court, and some even stared at him with red eyes.
My heart was frightened with compassion, and I didn't dare to answer.
Seeing that Ye Sheng was silent, he angered the refugees from Fangshan.
Pointing at Ye Sheng and cursing: "It's a dog official like you that made us starve!"
"Kill this dog officer!"
"Boil him and eat meat!"
The refugees who were shaking with hunger, when they heard the word "eat", their eyes turned blue, and they stared at Ye Sheng.
When Ye Sheng heard the sound of swallowing saliva, he secretly regretted it.
"I will give this horse to you all. I will enter the palace to report to His Majesty. You believe me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory..."
Before Ye Sheng finished speaking, he ran away.
Don't want anything, rush towards the city gate with all your might!
"Help! My official is Ye Sheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, open the city gate!" Ye Sheng shouted at the city gate while running.
"Don't let that dog officer go!" The first woman who knelt down leaped over vigorously.
Fortunately, Ye Sheng was caught by surprise and ran fast enough.
The woman wasted no time, and swallowed viciously: "He is the one who pushed the dog emperor, so that we can't get enough to eat! Eat him!"
Ye Sheng is thin, and usually attaches great importance to diet, and takes good care of it.
Although he was over forty years old, he ran extremely fast, and the refugees couldn't eat for a few days, so naturally they couldn't keep up with his footsteps.
But in a flash from the corner of his eye, he saw on the top of the city, the guards' bows were strung up, and the tips of the arrows flashed coldly.
He was so anxious that he took out the official quotation from his arms.
"I'm the minister! Don't shoot arrows, I'm the minister of the court, an official! This is the official robe, the official robe!"
In desperation, Ye Sheng pulled off his official robe and shook it in the wind, so that the soldiers on the city wall could see clearly.
"Don't do anything, the officials are under the city!" A small flag shouted.
Hurry up to report to the Shangguan, who came to have a look and saw Ye Sheng, like a monkey on a horse jumping, wearing obscene clothes and waving an official robe.
"It's an official, put down a hanging basket."
When Ye Sheng was hung up on the city gate, he vaguely saw the refugees chasing him before running under the city wall.
But the small flag on the city wall waved.
call out!call out!call out!
The arrow flew across the sky, and the sister-in-law who was about to sell her daughter to him got an arrow in her chest and fell to the ground.
There seemed to be some relief in her pupils.
Seeing the blood, the refugees dispersed.
However, Ye Sheng saw that someone was dragging the body of the sister-in-law. Her son and daughter tried their best to protect their mother, but they were kicked down by the outnumbered refugees.
"I can eat meat, I can eat meat..."
Ye Sheng seemed to hear the laughter of the refugees, and he shuddered.
Standing on the top of the wall, he suddenly laughed miserably, with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
Along the way, people's livelihood is very difficult.
He thought his heart was as hard as iron, but he still couldn't help crying.
"My lord, do you want to send your lord to the capital under the bid?" That Xiaoqi was quite ingratiating.
"No need, I can go."
The corners of Ye Sheng's mouth tugged, and he forced a smile: "What's your name?"
"Under Xing Han, I have met Master Shangshu!" Xiao Qi saluted respectfully.
"I will show your merits to His Majesty."
Xiaoqi named Xing Han was ecstatic and thanked him again and again.
But Ye Sheng didn't want to be hypocritical anymore, he wanted to enter the palace quickly and report the matter to His Majesty, so he said directly: "Prepare a carriage for me, and go to my house to pick it up at night."
"Under the bid!" Xing Han knew that he was going to fly into the sky if he flattered the Shangshu.
Looking at the prosperity in Beijing, Ye Sheng was full of sighs.
There is only a wall between them, but it is like heaven and hell.
However, he found a strange sight, there was a long queue at the entrance of the grain store.
The carriage was driving on the road, and he quickly wrote a memorial in the car, reporting what he saw and heard outside the city to the Holy Majesty, asking His Majesty to provide relief quickly so as not to cause disaster.
He entered the palace all the way and entered the Fengtian Hall.
Outside the palace gate, the emperor's roar was heard.
"What a gentleman!"
"Forcing farmers in Gyeonggi to sell their grain, and reselling it to me at a high price!"
"What a business! You are so shrewd!"
"it is good!"
"I don't need to ask you for money!"
"I don't dare to ask for it. I'm afraid that you will try to usurp the throne and kill me because of the money. What can I do!"
"Okay, I have a big heart, so I won't mention this article!"
"But what about the food? You come to me, what can I do!"
"Could it be possible that I can conjure food!"
Zhu Qiyu lost his temper in Fengtian Hall.
All the officials in Beijing knelt on the Fengtian Hall, and those who could not kneel in the hall knelt outside the hall, and the whole square was full of people kneeling.
Drenched in cold sweat, they all looked forward with treacherous eyebrows.
"You give me advice! I can't do anything!" After getting angry, Zhu Qiyu sat down on the dragon chair.
I wanted to kill, but an abyss appeared in front of me. Is it useful to kill?
"Your Majesty, I think it's better to be harsh!" said Dai Ang in the sixth division.
"kill?"
"Do you have a brain!"
"Is the problem the refugees outside the city?"
"Farmers in Gyeonggi have no food at home, how dare you say that the people in the city have surplus food?"
"Did they sell it too? They all made money from me?"
"Believe it or not, when I send out the soldiers from the nine sects, the city immediately collapses."
"I don't know if I can keep this Forbidden City, but your family must bear the brunt of it. I don't know what the hungry people will do if they rush in!"
Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood at first, and just enjoyed the feeling of being in power.
As a result, Chao Wenwu sent him a tiankeng!No, it's the abyss!
How chaotic the past dynasties are, isn't it just to have enough food!
If it can't be solved properly, wait until the end of Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid even Chongzhen is not as good.
Dion stepped back angrily.
"Li Xian, tell me, what can you do!" Zhu Qiyu called his name.
Li Xian looked bitter: "I have two methods, one is to urge the water transport Yamen to transport grain to Beijing as soon as possible; the other is to recover part of the grain to relieve the urgent need."
"Is this the way? Do I need you to say it? I don't have a brain, don't I know how to think?" Zhu Qiyu caught him and spit to death.
Li Xian knelt down, bowed his head, not daring to speak.
"Urgent, urgent, how to solve the meal tonight! Tell me!" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
"I think I can go to the temple to borrow some money." Li Xian said it bravely, not afraid of being scolded.
This is the countermeasure they discussed at Hu Mei's house.
"Go and borrow it, there's nothing I can do." Zhu Qiyu couldn't spare his face.
He simply lay on the dragon chair with his hands in his sleeves and closed his eyes.
Li Xian tried his best to wink at Hu Min.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that you can borrow it in the name of the court, and then return it to the temple after you have money and food. What do you think?" Hu Wei advised.
Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes and glanced at him: "Old Madam Fu, you won't participate too?"
Hu Yan was embarrassed to speak.
"Good guy, loyal minister of the court, I'm just a fool, what a fucking irony!"
"Whether it's loyalty or treachery, you know it well!"
Zhu Qiyu simply turned around and said, "Oh, you guys have thick skins, go borrow it yourself, I can't do anything, I'm just in Fengtian Temple, waiting for the hungry people to rush in, chop off my head and kick it as a ball, I admit it."
Seeing the emperor put down the pick, Hu Bi's face turned bitter: "Your Majesty, I still have to ask for your imperial decree..."
"roll!"
"You made a mistake, let me wipe your ass?"
"Please ask for my imperial decree, is it that I rob the farmers of their food? Or do I forcefully buy low and sell high to earn my own money?"
"Old Madam Fu, thank you for saying such words!"
Zhu Qiyu sat up angrily, with a compassionate expression: "Old master, how did you teach me? Have you forgotten? Teach me to be a wise king who loves the people like a son!"
"I did it. I sold Huangzhuang and Huangdian. I sold everything that can be sold in the palace!"
"For the sake of the war and the disaster victims, I ate porridge and pickles for more than half a month, and I couldn't even bear to eat an egg!"
"What about you?"
"Buy low and sell high, forced farmers into refugees, and sold the rations of millions of people in Gyeonggi!"
"Are you just greedy for the little money from selling food? Is your family really short of that little money? Old master!"
"What kind of money is that? Don't you know?"
"If you make a move, one person will die in Shandong!"
"This money, do you spend it with peace of mind? It's all blood-stained money!"
"I don't even have the face to talk about you!"
"I really don't know what the late emperor would think when he saw his important minister entrusted him to bury Daming with his own hands?"
"I thought you wanted to be Yu Wenhuaji!"
"As a result, you are not even as good as Yu Wenhuaji!"
Zhu Qiyu scolded Hu Min bloody.
Hu Mi burst into tears like rain.
He always thought that he was maintaining Daming's artifact, but he didn't know that the person who personally dug out the roots of Daming was actually himself!
"The old minister is guilty!"
"The veteran is ashamed of the late emperor, Taizong and Renzong!"
"The old minister is inferior to anyone, the old minister is the most stupid minister in the ages!"
"It was the old minister who harmed Daming!"
Hu Mi kowtowed continuously, crying: "The old minister is willing to apologize with death!"
It's over!Overacting again?
This old slick!
Originally wanted to take the opportunity to cut down on Hu Yu's power, but who would have thought that Hu Yu would not hold back his hands and invite him to death, which is cunning enough.
"Your Majesty, this is a serious crime committed by the ministers. It is the ministers who are greedy for petty gains. Please forgive me!" Li Xian knelt on the ground and excused Hu Wei.
"All right!"
Zhu Qiyu took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey: "I prepared the Tianzi sword at first, and planned to kill all the court, and then committed suicide to apologize."
"But think about it, I'm the emperor, I can't be a coward! Escape from reality."
"Old master, get up too, everyone get up."
"Think of a way, how to get through this period of time, just don't die!"
"Let's not talk about the stupid way of sending troops to kill all the refugees. The millions of people in the capital, even the whole of Hebei and half of Henan, can they be killed?"
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Zhu Qiyu didn't fight anymore, he just caught Wang Zha, and he was very happy, but he stopped playing, and his mood was like a dog.
"The veteran thought that borrowing food from monks and Taoists was the only way!"
"Your Majesty will urge water transportation again, and more grain will be transported to Beijing."
"I will urge grain from Henan and Liaodong, and transport some from the nearest one to solve the urgent need. I will return it to them afterwards, or buy it..."
Before Hu Min finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu glanced at him.
still buy?
Want Henan and Liaodong to repeat this scene?
"Old Madam Fu, go borrow it from the monk. I can't make this imperial decree, so let's pass it on orally." Zhu Qiyu didn't want to leave anything to say.
"The old minister thinks that every family comes to borrow, which is easy to cause misunderstanding."
"Or let the people in Beijing know that there is a shortage of food in the capital, so that people will be uneasy and cause panic."
"Why don't you take advantage of the opportunity of Spring Dragon Day to hold a grand Buddhist and Taoist event in the palace, and invite eminent monks, Taoist priests, and lamas from Beijing and China to enter the palace to participate in the grand event."
"It's just right for us, please ask the temple for a sum of food."
Hu Yan is bad enough, let's have a one-pot meal.
However, in this way, the emperor's reputation must be rotten among monks and Taoists.
Unless Zhu Qiyu is willing to reward the monks and give them what they want, the storm can be resolved.
Hu Wei just wanted to use political concessions in exchange for temple borrowing.
After all, it's all a disadvantage to me, and you are taking advantage of it.
"Old Madam Fu, this strategy is not impossible, but I just want to know how much food is lacking in the capital?" Zhu Qiyu nodded slowly.
Hu Yan was also confused, and turned to look at Li Xian and the others.
Everyone was confused.
But at this moment, Ye Sheng asked to see the king.
"Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Ye Sheng, may I ask for your peace!" Ye Sheng knelt on the ground after saluting.
"I'm safe!"
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up.
Ye Sheng submitted a memorial, describing what he saw and heard outside the city.
"How could it be so serious?" Hu Yan was taken aback.
"Hu Shangshu, I only see the tip of the iceberg. The real situation is probably ten times more serious!"
Ye Sheng didn't know that Hu Wei was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials and was named Taifu, so he was called so.
Li Xian looked at Lin Cong, Lin Cong looked at Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi looked at Wang Hong, and everyone looked at each other.
"Shouldn't be."
Wang Hong murmured: "We do collect grain, but officials have enough money. How much grain can the household department buy with 19 taels of silver? How can it be so serious?"
"Yes!"
These are mature guys who immediately realized what the problem was.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone is hoarding!"
Wang Wen knelt on the ground and said harshly: "Your Majesty, please send out the Jinyi Guards to search the Beijing Zhongliang Store, and the proceeds will surely be enough to feed the hungry people!"
That's right.
Someone must be hoarding, because the news of the flood in Shandong spread, and the palace raised money, so they must buy food for relief.
Such a good opportunity to make money, how could the shrewd businessman of Ming Dynasty miss it?
"Hmm." Zhu Qiyu pondered.
It's no problem to kill a few merchants.
However, what if the grain from the grain merchant is not in Beijing?Wouldn't you startle the snake?
"Who's running the food business?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
The courtiers are all pure husbands who read sage books, so how could they do things full of copper stink?
It can be said well in the sage books that the emperor does not compete with the people for profit, his official is not the emperor, his official is the people.
"I'm not looking for responsibility, but I want to know where is the warehouse of the grain merchants in Beijing?" Zhu Qiyu eased his tone.
Hu Wei, Lin Cong, and Li Xian looked at Mu Zhuang.
Mu Zhuang's face was pale, and he stammered, "There is a small grain shop in Weichen's house!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes sharpened, you probably have a part in hoarding!
"Say! Where is the grain merchant's warehouse?"
Mu Zhuang was shocked: "According to what I know, there are three major grain merchants in Beijing, all of whom are merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. They transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital for sale."
"The general warehouses are located near the water transport terminal."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up, Zhang Wan!
"His Majesty!"
But Hu Wei stopped him: "Your Majesty, it is better to send someone to find out the facts first, and we can't do it immediately. Once the grain merchants are prepared, it will be difficult to handle."
This is the old saying of seeking the country.
However, Zhu Qiyu glanced at the officials in Beijing.
The backers behind these grain merchants are all standing in the hall.
You said, do they care about the life and death of the people, or their own pocketbooks?
It must be the money bag, otherwise how could it be so ruthless to buy back the rations of millions of people in Gyeonggi, is it just to sell it to the Ministry of Households for a high price?
What if they are not satisfied and want a higher price and sell it to the common people?
"I will give you a chance, stand up!"
Zhu Qiyu stood up from the dragon chair: "Now is the autumn of critical life and death, the country and the country are in your thoughts!"
"Once the refugees become rebels, it will not do you any good to cause chaos in the capital!"
"What's the use of hoarding so much food?"
"I'm not a king who takes money by chance. I buy it with money. It's the same as last time. The household department collects grain, and you set the price. How about it?"
"Come on, I'll pretend nothing happened, okay?"
Zhu Qiyu spoke dryly, but no one stood up.
The backstage of the grain merchants all pretended to be dead in court.
who can that be?
"Mu Zhuang!" Zhu Qiyu called his name.
"Weichen has nothing to do with merchants, please learn from your majesty!" Mu Zhuang kowtowed like garlic.
"Lin Cong!" Zhu Qiyu called his name again.
Lin Cong lay on the ground: "I really don't know."
"Old Madam Fu! Tell me, who is the backer of the grain merchant in the court!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were like a knife.
"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know." Hu Wei prevaricated.
Li Xian was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, since it is buying, there is no need to go through a lot of trouble. The Ministry of Households will list and buy grain from grain merchants. As you said, they will set the price and they will definitely sell grain to the Ministry of Households." .”
"Are you Li Xian paying?" Zhu Qiyu's tone was dark.
"Ah?" Li Xian was taken aback. Didn't you just say that you came out?
"What are you talking about if you don't pay! Your family is taking advantage of Wanguan, so go buy it!" Zhu Qiyu was furious, it was a joke, okay?
I am crazy, spending money to buy grain from grain merchants?
They have ruined my country and society, and I will punish their nine clans!Still spending money?Burn it, let them go underground to spend it!
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Li Xian was naive.
"Okay! No one stands up!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't pretend anymore: "I sent people from Dongchang to raid the warehouses of the grain merchants! You just wait in the palace, even the slightest rumor is not allowed to come out of the palace!"
It is said that the grain merchant has no backer, even if Zhu Qiyu was killed, he would not believe it.
In order to get the food smoothly, there is no choice but to shut down the center.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark: "I will give you one last chance, take the initiative to stand up, and I will spare your family's life!"
"Otherwise, when I throw these profiteers into the prison and recruit you, then I will make it difficult for you to seek death!"
The courtiers knelt down to apologize, but no one came out.
"Okay, you guys are ruthless!"
"Let all civil and military officials accompany you, and let the world stop, just for a few bullshit merchants, good!"
"Decree Jin Zhong, do it!"
"Send another order to Song Jie, Li Jin, guards, horse breeders, and listen to Jin Zhong's transfer!"
"Pass the decree again to transport the yamen, and cooperate with Jin Yiwei! Those who disobey the order will be executed!"
"As long as I want food, anyone can die! The court only needs food!"
"Pass me my lunch, I'll eat it here!"
Zhu Qiyu looked hopefully, hoping to get some food.
These hoarding grain merchants must be killed!
Dare to smash the jobs of millions of people in the capital, smash the world, these damn merchants, all the ten clans!No pardon!
……
Since last night, Cao Jixiang has been hunting people in various prisons.
Especially those who were severely tortured and whose family members were in the city, all were fished out.
He spent money again, and recruited a group of market thugs to come in.
The grass-roots team of the patrol camp has been set up.
Cao Jixiang and Fang Xing didn't sleep all night.
"Admiral!"
A wounded man knelt in front of Cao Jixiang.
"You are a killer, you are really lucky, you are still alive."
Cao Jixiang looked at him and grinned grimly: "The emperor has reused us again, so we have to put on a show!"
"My maidservant respectfully obeys the order of the admiral!" Jiang Mian gritted his teeth, his toes were all cut off, not to mention the number of injuries on his body.
"Our family doesn't care what you think in your heart, our family only wants the result!"
Cao Jixiang looked at everyone suddenly: "You are all sinners! The emperor gave us a chance to live, don't you cherish it?"
"cherish!"
Looking around, in the patrol camp, the kindest person is actually the thief.
The thief's name was Zhang Qian, and he looked at these patrolling soldiers covered in the whole world with a little horror. He thought he was bad enough, but who would have thought that he would be the kindest one after entering the patrolling camp.
His boss, Xiaoqi Laisan, had seven or eight lives in his hands, and was rescued by Cao Jixiang from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
The general banner is even worse and has participated in the rebellion.
Baihu is the eunuch Jiang Mian, who is said to have participated in the theft of the Liku.
Who are these people, what are they doing?
Zhang Qian was scared.
"With a team of a hundred households, go to the city to destroy all the shops that make and sell incense! Don't let any one go!"
Cao Jixiang sternly said: "This governor personally led a team to temples and Taoist temples to destroy incense sticks!"
"I'm afraid, stand up, our family will finish him with a knife, so as not to go back to prison and suffer."
"Our family will only give you half a day's work. If there is another incense stick in the city, our family will find a hundred households in charge of the area. If we find one, our family will take a part from your body! You choose it yourself, and our family Chop directly!"
The entire patrol camp was trembling.
Cao Jixiang turned to look at the document: "Is it finished?"
"Respond to the admiral's words, and it's finished." The clerk was missing a hand, and was still wearing a prison uniform, which was full of blood and sour smell.
"You guys, every time you destroy a place, post one!"
"It's going to be posted all over the city!"
"Again, Master Xiucai, please read in front of the notice, so that the neighbors in the neighborhood can hear it clearly!"
"Spend some more money and make it into a song for the children to read in the street!"
"Remember it all for our family!"
"In the city, those who burn incense privately will be beaten ten times! All incense in the city must be purchased in the patrol camp!"
"You are not allowed to increase the price, and sell according to the price on the notice; private sales are not allowed, and greed for money is not allowed. If our family finds out, whoever dares to lie, our family will chop off your family's dog's head!"
Cao Jixiang's voice became harsher: "The emperor asked our family to sell 50 taels a day, and we will start counting today."
"If you can't sell the quota, you will pick the parts from our family."
"Our family also tells you that before the emperor picks our family, our family will pick yours first!"
"Calculate yourself, how many parts are there on your body, enough for our family to pick!"
"set off!"
Cao Jixiang was too lazy to talk nonsense and led the team directly to the temple.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, he plans to challenge the most difficult one first, Longfu Temple (Five Pagoda Temple).
Longfu Temple was built by the emperor. It was built in the third year of Jingtai, and it was built with Nangong trees.
At that time, in order to better monitor the Supreme Emperor, the emperor cut down the trees in the Nangong Palace in the name of building Longfu Temple, and built Longfu Temple with this tree.
Longfu Temple is not simple. It is a temple where Fan and Zen live together.
The Lama Basuo Fazhuan is the mage who empowered the emperor. The master of Basuo Fazhuan is Ke Zhujie, the disciple of Fatai Tsongkhapa, and has a very high status.
Although he is not in Beijing now, his apprentice Lama Qiangyal is permanently stationed in Beijing, and often enters the palace to explain Buddhism to the emperor.
Zen Master Huijing, an eminent Zen monk, was also the emperor's guest.
It can be said that Longfu Temple is the most favored temple by the emperor, so Cao Jixiang decided to start with Longfu Temple first, from difficult to easy.
Looking at the crowded Longfu Temple, Cao Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief.
For the sake of my life, go!
He first saluted and then entered the temple, and first discussed with the abbot.
Lama Xiangqianjia and Zen Master Huijing will not see him, and Zen Master Piran is in charge of the daily affairs of the monastery.
"Eunuch, there is no need to be more polite. This matter still needs to be reported to the host by the poor monk. Please wait a little bit, Eunuch."
Zen Master Pi Zang was also speculating on what identity Cao Jixiang had come to Longfu Temple to make trouble, and did the emperor know about it?
"Also please hurry up, Zen Master Piran."
Cao Jixiang was secretly annoyed, if before seizing the door, how could Pi Zang dare to talk to him like this?
Hmph, the temples in Beijing are not supported by our family and others. If there is no support from our family and others, what are you guys!
"Grandpa Cao, please wait a moment." Zen Master Pi Zang decided to delay.
After drinking two cups of tea, Cao Jixiang couldn't sit still.
Looking at the sky outside, there are as many as a thousand temples in Beijing, large and small, and each family has notified them, who knows when they will be able to collect money.
If all the time is wasted in Longfu Temple, I am afraid that the parts on his body will not be enough for the emperor to cut!
"Come on! Block the door first!" Cao Jixiang shouted.
Chan Master Pican opened his eyelids and laughed at Cao Jixiang for not being able to hold his breath.
"Eunuch Cao, wait a moment, Zen Master Huijing is entering meditation, please wait quietly, and I will answer you at that time." Bi Zang said.
"How long will it take?" Cao Jixiang really didn't want to tear himself apart with Longfu Temple.
Whether it is Zen Master Huijing or Lama Qianjia, he can't afford to offend.
"It's coming soon." Pi Zang was grinding Cao Jixiang's temper.
Cao Jixiang paced back and forth, his eyebrows tangled.
Seeing Pi Zang's appearance of loving and unreasonable, Cao Jixiang knew very well that this was Huluo Pingyang being bullied by dogs, and seeing that he had lost his power now, he didn't like him.
"Zhan Master Viran, you and I are old acquaintances."
"Our family believes in Buddhism, so we have spent a lot of incense money these years."
"Just take it as a convenience for our family, okay?"
"This is the emperor's mission from the emperor. Our family really has no time to wait."
Cao Jixiang said so earnestly, he really didn't want to tear his face.
"If Eunuch Cao is impatient, you can go to other temples to inform first. After Zen Master Huijing has a reply, the poor monk will send a little novice to inform Eunuch Cao. What do you think?"
Pi Zang is still a bureaucratic accent, so the hand dragging formula is well used.
Cao Jixiang figured it out, the incense money for these years has not formed any incense love.
"Where is Zen Master Huijing? Let's find him personally!"
Pi Zang waved his hand, and the little novice blocked Cao Jixiang's body.
"Chan Master Huijing settled down and communicated with my Buddha."
"If you have the idea of becoming a Buddha immediately, how can you allow ordinary people to disturb you?"
"To put it bluntly, even if His Majesty is here, you have to wait for the Zen master to recover before you can enter to discuss Buddhism."
According to the implication of the words, what kind of thing are you, Cao Jixiang!
Cao Jixiang gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice, "Please give me a certain time, Master Zen!"
Piran closed his eyes, not bothering to talk to him.
"Zen Master, how about giving our family face and the emperor's face, and let our family talk to Zen Master Huijing in person?" Cao Jixiang begged.
Bi Ran closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Zen Master, we are begging you, will it work?"
"After paying the emperor's errand, our family will come back and kowtow to the Zen master to make amends."
"The Heavenly King Hall in the temple hasn't been repaired yet, right? Our family paid the money, okay?" Cao Jixiang was angry in his heart, but he still forced himself to say something nice.
But Bi Zang just didn't speak, and didn't let him go to see him.
Just as he was about to move, the little monk stopped in front of him.
"Vibran!"
Cao Jixiang yelled: "Our time is limited, please Zen Master Huijing come out!"
"Silence!"
Pizhuan slowly opened his eyes: "Eunuch Cao's anger is overwhelming, and he is very angry. Disciple, go make a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Eunuch Cao, let him calm the fire, and the peace of mind will naturally be empty."
"Quiet your head!"
Clang!
Cao Jixiang drew out his knife and slashed at Pi Zang's body!
"what!"
The little novice just tried to stop him, and bumped into the blade, screamed, and fell to the ground.
But Cao Jixiang drew back the knife and put it on Pi Zang's neck, with a ferocious and ferocious face, he shouted, "We ask you, where is Huijing?"
Pi Zang was taken aback, he could no longer pretend to be an eminent monk, and tremblingly said: "You, how can you kill, kill in the pure place of Buddhism?"
呲!
The knife was pressed down, the blade was embedded in the skin, and blood came out like urine.
Pi Zang was stunned, it was his blood, and it gave him a slap in the face.
"My family asks you, where is Huijing?" Cao Jixiang doesn't care whether he will retaliate or not, let's save his own life first!
This bullshit monk is really annoying, mocking our family, looking down on our family, okay, let our family die, and take you on the same journey!
Pi Zang pointed to the hall above, he kept trembling: "It hurts, it hurts..."
"You know it hurts too? Huh? Give our family a little bit of affection! Huluopingyang was bullied by dogs! Go to hell!"
Cao Jixiang's face was ferocious, and he slashed down with the knife, directly slicing open Pi Zang's throat.
"Come on!"
"Seal the temple gate to our house, leaving only one gate!"
"All the incense in the temple was burned!"
"No one is allowed to touch, kill those who block it! Kill those who touch it!"
Cao Jixiang yelled, you forced our family to kill!
"Follow the admiral's order!" A carefree voice came from outside the hall.
These are all hooligans, they like to cause damage, they like to smash and rob.
Cao Jixiang didn't even bother to find any Zen master, so he just sat in the main hall and watched Pi Zang die little by little, feeling inexplicably happy.
"Be quick with your hands and feet, and go to the next one right away!"
Cao Jixiang's thoughts became clear and he felt better.
That's how it should be.
The emperor let our family out to kill the Quartet, not to come out to be angry!
Anyway, our family's life is counting down, so I'm afraid of a bird!People are dead and birds are upside down, our family has no birds, so what are you afraid of!
At this time, Zen Master Huijing came in in a panic, who was in meditation: "Eunuch Cao, how can you kill someone!"
"Zen Master Huijing? Are you in meditation?"
Cao Jixiang looked at him sarcastically: "Aren't you wandering in the sky? Are you looking for the traces of the Buddha? Do you want to become a Buddha immediately? What? Not a Buddha? Come to see our picky man? Don't you think it's dirty? Zen master?"
"You, you dare to be rude in Longfu Temple, I will go to Fengtian Hall to sue you! This old monk will ask His Majesty to preside..."
Huijing stopped talking halfway.
Because Cao Jixiang slapped his face with the bloody knife.
Snapped!Snapped!
With the hot blade, it slapped him on the face.
Huijing stopped talking abruptly, her face full of horror: "Cao, Eunuch Cao, what are you going to do?"
"It's Admiral." Cao Jixiang sat upright.
Huijing was a little scared, and called out "Admiral Cao".
Cao Jixiang grinned, full of sarcasm.
Then stood up respectfully, picked up the notice from another chair, and unfolded it for him to read: "Here comes the emperor's word of mouth! From now on, the incense burned by the believers in the city must be purchased at the patrolling camp, and private production and private sales are not allowed!"
He gave the notice to Zen Master Huijing.
When Zen Master Huijing saw it, he almost had a cerebral thrombosis: "This, this is a robbery!"
Snapped!
Cao Jixiang slapped him hard on the face with the blade of the knife, leaving a bloodstain on Zen Master Huijing's fleshy face.
Zen Master Huijing gritted her teeth and refused to cry out.
"What did you say?"
Cao Jixiang asked him: "Your words are enough to chop off your head!"
Zen Master Huijing was furious, it must be traitors like Cao Jixiang who bewitched Sheng Ting, and His Majesty made such a foolish trick!
No, I will enter the palace right now, please give me an explanation from Your Majesty!
However, facing Cao Jixiang's burning eyes, he softened all over: "My old man made a slip of the tongue."
"Kneel down!" Cao Jixiang snorted coldly.
Zen Master Huijing gritted her teeth, knelt down facing the Forbidden City, and kowtowed.
"On all the walls, notices must be pasted. No one is allowed to damage it. If a corner is damaged, our house will stop the incense burning in Longfu Temple for one day."
"Send a monk in the temple to preach before the announcement and tell all pilgrims to go to the patrol camp to buy incense."
"Of course, the patrol camp will set up a small flag at the gate of the temple, and you can buy it at the gate."
"Also, head incense is burned every day in the temple, and the head incense costs 100 taels of silver per stick."
"Whether our family burns it yourself in your temple, or the pilgrims are willing to pay for it, our family will see the money."
"If the pilgrims in the temple are willing to pay, they can be auctioned. There is no upper limit on the price, and the one with the highest price will get it."
"There are also tail incenses. You can buy them in the temple. One stick is ten taels of silver. The price is not high. You burn three sticks in front of each Buddha statue. Our family has counted how many Buddha statues there are in the temple, and we will charge as much. Don't worry, it's not much." Take you."
"As for the others, our family hasn't thought of them yet. When we think about them, they will be posted on the wall together, and the temples and temples in the whole city will be the same, without exception! No exceptions are allowed in our family!"
After listening to Cao Jixiang's words, Zen Master Huijing felt incredible: "How can the pure place of the Buddhist family be contaminated with the smell of copper?"
"Zen Master Huijing, if you insist on saying this, please donate the silver that the pilgrims donated to the temple and give it to our family. Our family is not afraid of the smell of copper!"
Cao Jixiang sneered: "Don't say no, our family has donated to you a lot these years, Zen Master Huijing."
Huijing bowed her head and remained silent.
The prevalence of Buddhism and Taoism in Beijing is directly related to the eunuch's belief in Buddhism.
Let’s just say that Wang Zhen’s family temple is comparable in size to Longfu Temple.
Cao Jixiang spends tens of thousands of taels of silver in every year, and Cao Jixiang knows how much money there is in the temple.
"Eunuch Cao...Admiral Cao, let's take a moment to talk." Zen Master Huijing understands, doesn't the eunuch just want that, here it is.
"What are you doing? You want to bribe our family? Hmph, this is Huangchai, Huangchai, do you understand? Does our family dare to think wrongly? Huh?"
Cao Jixiang pushed him away: "Zhan Master Huijing, you can collect the body of Chan Master Pi Zang, our family doesn't have that skill!"
"Remember, don't play tricks with our family. If you find a piece of incense that shouldn't be in Longfu Temple, our family will open your head!"
As he spoke, Cao Jixiang patted his bare head.
Zen Master Huijing was so angry that he wanted to cry. He is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. How many times he went to the palace to explain Buddhism to His Majesty, and His Majesty treated him as a teacher.
But Cao Jixiang patted him on the head like this.
Like slapping a watermelon, crackling.
"Lama Qianjia, you go and explain it to him and let him do it!"
Cao Jixiang walked out of the hall and yelled: "Are you done? Why are you so slow to build a door?"
"You? Why don't you fucking collect the incense, what are you doing touching that little girl? Hurry up and be careful who you eat!"
"Limit your time to wait for a cup of tea. If you can't do it well, our family will kill you!"
Zen Master Huijing couldn't help shivering.
Looking at Cao Jixiang again, he seems to be a lunatic, not only killing monks, but also killing his own people?
Look at the people he brought, those with wounds, dirty hands and feet, and hooligans, the only one who seems to be normal is actually stealing a pilgrim's purse...
Who are these people!
No, this old monk must enter the palace and report to His Majesty, and we must not let scoundrels like Cao Jixiang ruin His Majesty's reputation!
Absolutely not!
If you threaten with your life, you will work fast.
Cao Jixiang left a small flag, five people with a small flag: "You wait at the gate and start collecting money, according to our family's regulations, don't collect too much, don't collect less, don't take too much, remember our family's words, Watch out for the parts on your body!"
"Sign up and obey!"
The five people in this small flag knelt on the ground, trembling.
In front of Cao Jixiang, they were sheep, but when Cao Jixiang left, they showed their vicious nature, and they were all wolves, tigers and leopards.
"Listen to the motherfuckers!"
"One stick of incense and one tael of silver, if you enter the temple, you have to buy it, and if you don't buy it, you have to buy it!"
A burly man, holding a knife, slapped the blade on the table: "As long as you pass this street, you have to enter the temple! To enter the temple, you have to buy incense!"
A pilgrim dressed as a scholar cowardly said: "Didn't the notice say a copper coin?"
"Do you have the final say or I have the final say? I say one tael, and it's one tael! You give me a tael first!"
The little flag directly put the knife on the scholar's neck.
"This is a robbery, this is a robber!" Xiucai was so angry that he cried bitterly.
"If you don't believe it, you will pay for it!"
"Let you meet the Buddha, and it will be cheap for you to spend one tael of silver!"
"Hmph, if you buy incense from the uncle, you can see the Buddha, so this is the price!"
Xiaoqi has a fierce expression on his face.
