Datang: Li Shimin eavesdropped on my heart

Chapter 169
Three days after the Dharma Conference at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Li Kuan collected enough evidence to prove that some people in Wanfo Temple were guilty.

Jiangnan Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was closed down at his order.

You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check. ,

Among the evidence collected by Li Kuan.

It not only proves that some monks in Wanfo Temple are guilty.

It even pointed to the officialdom of the entire Jiangnan province.

90.00% of the officials in the entire Jiangnan Province have received money from Wanfo Temple.

It has become the umbrella of Wanfo Temple.

This is also the main reason why so many missing girls here in Jiangnan Province have been suppressed.

It was not until Li Kuan, king of Chu, went to the south of the Yangtze River that this fig leaf was lifted.

For a time, the entire officialdom of Jiangnan Province was in danger.

A letter from Li Kuan was sent back to Chang'an, the imperial capital, and the civil and military officials of the Tang court were shocked.

Especially the elixir of immortality that Li Kuan mentioned requires the blood of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine golden girls...

The four monks who released the lottery from Wanfo Temple in the south of the Yangtze River were arrested.

And the person who sealed off Wanfo Temple was not any official authority in Jiangnan Province.

It was the Tiger Guards sent directly by Li Jing.

90.00% of the Jiangnan officialdom has colluded with this Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

So what is the difference between this and the entire Jiangnan officialdom?
So Li Kuan couldn't trust anyone in the Jiangnan officialdom at all, so he directly told his father in a letter.

Then his father ordered that Li Jing personally lead the Tiger Guards to come to the south of the Yangtze River to listen to his orders.

for a while.

Not only the Wanfo Temple in the south of the Yangtze River was blocked, but also the criminal arrest department, patrol arrest department, city lord's mansion, and Wufu in every city in the Jiangnan province.

All were sealed.

Originally, Jiangnan Governor's Mansion would also be sealed up.

However, Li Kuan currently lives in the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, so the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion avoided the fate of being closed down.

In the Jiangnan officialdom, many officials wanted to save their lives.

They confessed all the crimes they committed.

To Li Kuan's surprise, this time, not only the confessions of Jiangnan officials, but also the case of the [-] female corpses in Chang'an were solved.

And it also cracked some headless corpse cases many years ago.

Because there are many criminal suspects in this case, as well as corrupt officials.

So there is still a little difficulty in implementing it.

This is the first case of such a large scale after the implementation of the Datang New Deal.

The number of officials involved is also the largest since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, also had a very headache.

He knew that they were guilty, but he couldn't follow Tang's laws and deal with them one by one.

Because once all these criminal officials are arrested.

Then the Jiangnan province will be in chaos.

Can a place without government management not be chaotic?
You must know that Jiangnan is.

One of the few places of wealth in the entire Tang Dynasty!

If there is chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, it will immediately lead to economic turmoil in other places in Datang.

By that time, Datang will have an economic crisis.

And this is not what Li Kuan wants to see, nor is it what Li Shimin wants to see, nor is it what the court wants to see.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji suggested that all officials in the Jiangnan Province who committed crimes should take their crimes and make meritorious deeds.

Changsun Wuji's suggestion was unanimously supported by many courtiers.

however.

Li Shimin did not follow Changsun Wuji's suggestion.

Instead, we have to wait for Li Kuan to return to Chang'an from Jiangnan before discussing it.

On the day Li Kuan left Jiangnan and returned to Chang'an.

Many Jiangnan people came to the door of the governor's seat and stood on the left and right sides.

See off His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

The people in Jiangnan didn't even think of it.

They go to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple every day to offer incense, but instead they harm their own daughters.

No one would have imagined that the murderer who killed their daughter was actually the abbot of Wanfo Temple.

Fortunately, this time the King of Chu went to the south of the Yangtze River and investigated the matter clearly.

Otherwise, more girls in Jiangnan will be killed.

It was precisely because of this that the news that Li Kuan planned to return to Chang'an this time spread.

Many Jiangnan people came here to thank him.

When Li Kuan walked out of the governor's mansion.

When he saw countless Jiangnan people kneeling down, he was moved to tears.

I got this kneeling and this thank you from the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Kuan’s trip was worth it.

The people in Jiangnan also gave Li Kuan a Wanmin umbrella.

Manmin Umbrella.

This is an umbrella given to celebrate the benevolent governance of local officials.

There are many small silk strips on the umbrella, and the name of the person who presented it is written.

In the previous life, Li Kuan was in middle school.

He has learned such a text once.

It is this Manmin Umbrella that we are talking about.

Li Kuan still remembers some of the contents of that text.

That text said.

The Wanmin Umbrella was in the Qing Dynasty, when the magistrate left office.

The gentry and businessmen in this place have to express a little bit of persuasion.

The more popular way is to send "Wanmin Umbrella".

It means that the parent official, like an umbrella, covers the common people of one side.

The more umbrellas given, the more respectable the official is.

If the official is dismissed or demoted, there will still be people in the local area offering umbrellas or even blocking sedan chairs.

It shows that this official is definitely a clean or good official.

And the locals are kind and righteous at the same time.

Li Kuan never thought that in his lifetime, he would still have this opportunity, and someone would even give him a Wanmin Umbrella.

……

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

And Li Kuan, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, had already returned to Chang'an.

The punishment for Jiangnan officialdom.

Li Shimin followed Li Kuan's advice.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a large number of talents were selected.

In order to break the control of the local officials of the Tang Dynasty by the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

This time the imperial examination.

All participants, regardless of their grades.

They can all go to Jiangnan as errands.

Of course.

If you can perform well in the imperial examination, then you will be appointed to a better position.

For example, the governor is the highest official position in the entire Jiangnan province.

Of course.

These official positions are not suitable for ordinary people.

As soon as this announcement comes out.

Scholars all over the world rushed to Chang'an City.

Once the economy in Chang'an City reached its peak.

All the inns and restaurants are full of people.

Even some private houses in Chang'an City were rented out by scholars.

All of a sudden, the income of the people in Chang'an City increased.

And because of the large number of people taking the exam this time, the exam time was stretched very long.

And those students who did not have their turn to take the exam.

All of them rushed into Chubei City to play.

Because here in Chubei City, a new operation project appeared.

This sub-branch project is much more fun and exciting than polo.

The name of this running project is "Datang Glory".

The game rules of Datang Glory are not complicated, but very simple.

The game can be divided into two teams.

Each team has five regular players and two alternate players.

The playing field is about the size of a polo field.

The difference is that there are some lines drawn on the venue of Datang Glory.

The one drawn in the middle of the field is called the center line, which is divided by the center line.

The two teams participating in the game stand on the left and right sides of the venue.

Then a circle is drawn at each end of the field, and this circle is called a castle.

Then there was a team's flag inside the circle.

If your flag is taken by the opposing team, anyone can take it.

Then it means that your team has lost to the opponent.

The game is played as follows:

The two teams stood on both sides of the center line.

Then under the "Start" command of the master of ceremonies.

Mount the war horse as quickly as possible.

Run to the opponent's castle, that is, the circle as fast as possible.

Whoever can get the flag in the opponent's castle will win.

You are not allowed to bring any weapons with you throughout the game.

Participating in such games, casualties are inevitable.

Therefore, everyone who participates in the game will sign a life and death agreement before participating in the game.

Outside the game field, there are also gambling games.

Bet on which team can win.

Once Datang Glory was launched.

It soon attracted people from the entire Tang Dynasty to play, and even people from other countries outside the Tang Dynasty traveled thousands of miles to Chubei City to play this game.
