Chapter 816 The Emperor Is a Bull

Fan Zhi felt a little regretful, His Majesty is fine with everything, but this strange disease really cannot be cured.As long as you see a bald head, you want to kill, so the places where your majesty passes must be prepared in advance, and there must be no monks or bald men.But in the past, it was only when you saw a bald head that you got sick. Now that the condition has worsened, you will get angry when you think of a bald head?
Fan Zhi shook his head helplessly, it is true that a companion is like a tiger, he does not know when the emperor will make a mistake, and if he is unhappy, he will take off his black hat.This is still relatively light, if it really makes him angry, it may not be possible to kill him directly.Of course, Fan Zhi is still very confident in his martial arts.

Since Chai Rong's condition is getting worse now, he can only follow Chai Rong's words.Who made him the emperor?The Emperor is absolutely right.

Fan Zhi said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I thought that making so many Buddha statues was a waste of copper ore, so I thought that the Buddha statues could be recycled and made into copper coins, so I brought my Majesty here to personally inspect."

Hearing this, Chai Rong felt a little better.For some reason, Chai Rong felt a little excited when he heard the words of recycling Buddha statues to make copper coins.Sure enough, I hated Zong Xin too much in my heart, as long as it was something that was not good for the monk, Chai Rong would feel happy.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "What's the use of this? We make Buddha statues into copper coins with our front feet, and the people make copper coins into Buddha statues with their back feet. This is a waste of time. Unless...the people are not allowed to turn copper coins into Buddha statues, but how to stop this kind of thing?"

Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand something. After His Majesty was in Luzhou, he never mentioned this matter, and now he said that Zong Xin almost killed His Majesty with that small note. What happened was originally like The note said, directly attacking the team outside the city will win the game, and we did what the note said, and the result was the same."

After Chai Rong heard this, he suddenly froze for a moment... Before that, Chai Rong had been thinking about another thing.He did as the note said, and directly attacked the Northern Han garrison outside the city, but fell into Liu Chong's trap and almost died.If he hadn't commanded well, and if Zhao Kuangyin hadn't been brave and good at fighting, he would have brought back the disadvantage, and the entire army would have been wiped out.But listening to what Wang Pu said, it seemed that the final result was the same as what was written in the treaty.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. I've been with Zong Xin for so many years. What's he thinking that I don't know?" Zhao Kuangyin said excitedly: "In fact, Zong Xin often uses this method to let others go to death, and Zong Xin told this person , will definitely survive. If this person dies, no one will know that Zong Xin's calculations are inaccurate. If this person really survives, it will prove that he is a god. I have seen this method a lot... "

When Zhao Kuangyin said this, Fan Zhi and Wang Pu were completely speechless, and only Zhao Kuangyin knew Zongxin's little secrets.If it wasn't for what Zhao Kuangyin said, Fan Zhi and Wang Pu would have almost believed it, and everything was within Zong Ren's calculations.But after Zhao Kuangyin's mouth, it seemed that this predictor suddenly gained a little water. Is Zong Xin really such a despicable person?
Fan Zhi and Wang Pu shook their heads at the same time, it was absolutely impossible, maybe Zong Xin used this method to deal with people he hated, so Zhao Kuangyin remembered this explanation.But Zong Xin would never use this method to deal with his own people. The kit that Zhang Yongde brought out that day was definitely within Zong Xin's expectation. If he hadn't expected this, how could he have written such a thing in the kit? ?If you can predict such a distant future, how difficult is it to predict a few more hours?

Chai Rong nodded and said: "Yes, that's the case. I almost believed it just now. Zong Xin is indeed such a despicable and shameless person. No wonder he hasn't missed a single thing for so many years. He knows that he miscalculated." Everyone was silenced, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "I helped him silence many people, and these people were all Zong Xin's miscalculations."

Chai Rong said: "Fan Zhi Wang Pu listened to the decree and restricted the people to pay copper Buddha statues within [-] days, and the government will pay equivalent silver taels to buy them. Anyone who keeps more than five catties of bronze Buddha privately at home and fails to pay will be sentenced to death. Hiding three catties If you don’t pay the above copper Buddha, you will be sentenced to death. If you hide more than one catty of bronze Buddha and don’t pay, you will be sentenced to exile. Copper coins. In the future, whoever dares to destroy copper coins privately will be sentenced according to the amount."

"His Majesty……"

"Do you want to disobey the order?"

"I dare not..." Fan Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "I will obey and thank you."

Chai Rong nodded in satisfaction, feeling much more comfortable now.It is a great thing to recover all the Buddha statues in the hands of the people in the world. Don't let these people always think about believing in Buddha.If there is anything to believe in Buddha, just believe in the emperor.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, this will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"how do I say this?"

"Your Majesty, most of the Buddha statues are in temples, and only the copper Buddha statues in the hands of the common people are recycled. I'm afraid they won't collect much. If you really want to do it, Your Majesty should also take back the bronze Buddha statues in the temple." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Speaking of it Also, recently there are more and more temples. Those monks recite scriptures and meditate all day long. They don’t have any serious business. Going to become a monk, because of Zongxin, more and more people believe in Buddhism, and even if they can’t eat at home, they still want to go to the temple to give alms, which makes the quality of life of the people decline. Most of these are fake monks, who can’t even chant scriptures , It’s just taking advantage of places like temples to mix food and drink.”

Chai Rong nodded and said: "That's very reasonable, then let these monks go back to vulgarity, see the temple demolished, and see the Buddha melt into the Buddha, so we also have enough copper to make copper coins. Fan Zhi Wang Pu listened to the order and took a closer look at the According to the news from the state, private monks and nuns are becoming more and more promiscuous, and more and more temples are being built. It is advisable to refer to the old chapters to change the previous disadvantages. There should be monasteries with imperial temples, and everything will remain the same. Only the key Buddhist temples that had been given plaques by the former emperors were left behind, and the rest of the temples were all destroyed. You must be able to recite more than a certain number of Buddhist scriptures and obtain the consent of your elders before you can become a monk, otherwise it will be a crime. And all Buddhist disciples are prohibited from expressing their ambitions. "

Both Fan Zhi and Wang Pu were dumbfounded. They brought Chai Rong here just to let him know that the casting of copper coins by the imperial court is a major event, which is the most basic unit of currency in circulation.Unexpectedly, Chai Rong is getting more and more energetic, and now he wants to demolish the temple and force monks and nuns to return to lay life...

In fact, Fan Zhi and Wang Pu also know that there are many Hua monks like Zong Xin, but there are very few eminent monks like Zong Xin.Some monks just shave their heads and do the same thing as Zong Xin.If you don't practice enough, Xue Zongxin simply treats monks as a profession to eat.

Today, the world is full of swords and soldiers, and the smoke is billowing.Many people can't get enough to eat. Because of the existence of Zongxin, these monks have many devout believers. Those people support some fake monks, so that these monks can idle around and eat and drink.

But to be honest, one person lives one way.What other people love is none of your business, Chai Rong?Even the emperor can't force others to work hard.You can choose to be a wise king or a foolish king yourself, but you don't choose to be a good person or a bad person for others, right?

Fan Zhi and Wang Pu gritted their teeth in frustration. If Chai Rong makes such a fuss... How many monks and temples can survive today?This is really hard to say.But he is the emperor after all. Although he can't force everyone in the world, there is no problem in forcing himself.

Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty, is this too much?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? I'm the emperor." Chai Rong said shamelessly: "You don't accept? You don't accept and hit me. Come on~ hit me if you have the ability. I just hate monks, what's wrong? Just think of monks. I'm so angry that sooner or later I will kill all the monks. But as long as these people don't become monks and grow their hair, I can let them live."

Zhao Kuangyin said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, I think it's better not to talk like this. We can be shameless, but we must add a great aura to this shamelessness. In fact, destroying the bronze Buddha and making copper coins will be of great help to our country's financial resources. Letting those monks become civilians can also get part of the labor force. This matter is very helpful, both public and private, but...we need a very good reason, so that everyone and even monks must nod."

"What reason?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Buddhas teach the world with kindness. If you have Zen in your heart, you will worship stones as Buddhas. Therefore, Buddhas are in your hearts and not in temples. For the benefit of others, even the head and eyes of the Buddha can be donated to others. , how would you care about a bronze statue? This is for the benefit of the world, and the Buddha will definitely not blame it."

Chai Rong, Wang Pu, and Fan Zhi looked at Zhao Kuangyin with contempt.It never occurred to him that he was this kind of person. After doing a shameless thing, he would add a reasonable aura to it.But Zhao Kuangyin really did it... As long as he gives this explanation, even if the Buddha is in front of him, he will nod in agreement and destroy these bronze statues.

Zhao Kuangyin's determined move is really poisonous. His move is to elevate the things to be destroyed to another spiritual level.The benefits and necessity of destroying the bronze Buddha are not mentioned at all.Zhao Kuangyin just kept raising the spiritual level of the Buddha to the point of sacrificing himself to save the world, even his body, let alone such an inconspicuous thing as a bronze statue?So even if these bronze statues are destroyed, the Buddha will not be blamed.If even the Buddha didn't blame him, how could the common people blame him?

"Okay~ Well said." Chai Rong admired: "Then this matter... I will go back to the palace immediately and make an order, I will make all the monks in the world disappear. And the reason is very good, those fake monks have nowhere to hide. I see what Zong Xin can do with me? If he dares to go to Bianliang City to make an argument, I will lock him up and torture him every day."
