Chapter 85 Close the Temple

Yue Fei had just arrived in Lin'an, and without even sleeping, he was sent to Shanghai Pu by the emperor.

Of course, everyone's focus is not on him now, and many people even don't know what happened.

The war was very close to the Song Dynasty, but far away from Lin'an.

Led by the Prime Minister of Qin, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu, and officials from the Taichang Temple and the Second Temple are cooperating to make final preparations for the arrival of the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin.

Originally, at Zhong Yu's strong suggestion, Liu Bang wanted to meet Zhong's family today.

But unfortunately, something happened in the city...

It is said that it is an incident, but in fact, it is not small, but how big it is... it may be very big.

Lin'an City was built as a capital only more than ten years ago. Like Taixue, many things were imperfect and needed to be renovated.

The royal facilities are almost complete, and most of the buildings in the city are new.

What happened today happened in the temple of the righteous and brave King Wu'an that was being built.

Su Fu was about to shed tears: "The brave man of Guan Wang Han was born as a sage and died as a god. Now he wants to demolish his temple just to cater to the Jin people... How can people do this betrayal of their ancestors?"

!”

"Guan family! You can't do this, and you can't do it! If we really demolish that temple, our backbone will be broken from now on, Guan family! Go and tell Qin Hui to stop!"

Logically speaking, it's just a temple. Liu Bang didn't really believe in their idea of ​​gods from later generations. Now he's also waiting for peace talks. This kind of trivial matter can make way.

But this one happened to be the general of his Han Dynasty... In Lu Zai's stories about the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bang often heard this name.

Speaking of which, in addition to thinking that this person is very powerful, Liu Bang can even say that he likes him a little.

Regardless of whether he is a god or not, it is true that he sacrificed his life for our old Liu family.

Now I have to demolish his temple... This is indeed what Su Fu said, and it cannot be done.

Gently holding the little lady's hand, Liu Bang looked at her and said:

"Who cares about the temple! I have promised to do something for you today, how can I, a great man, break my word!"

Zhong Yu didn't notice the emperor's frivolous movements, but just lowered his head and thought:

"Officials should put important matters first. Qin Hui's move is indeed excessive."

Don't tell me, these hands look like they have been on the battlefield, there is no rough skin at all, and they feel much smoother than Daoji's bald head.

"Official!"

The young lady let out a coquettish cry, which made the emperor's bones go numb. If the old man Su Fu hadn't been in the way, Liu Bang would have let this man know how powerful he was.

After coughing twice, he glared at Su Fu and said:

"Cry, cry, cry, just cry! You're so old, you don't even have any abilities!"

The old man didn't know where he offended the emperor. He opened his mouth and didn't speak, and it didn't matter if he didn't speak.

"People want to demolish the temple, don't you know how to stop it?"

"He has people in Qin Hui, but he doesn't have people in the Ministry of Rites?"

While cursing, he called someone over to change his clothes. After he was fully dressed, he said angrily:

"Lead the way! Don't waste time!"

Although he didn't know what important matter the emperor had, he was willing to come forward. Su Fu was very happy, and he got on the carriage and took them left and right, and finally stopped in front of Ruishi Mountain.

This place is said to be a blessed place in Lin'an City. I don't know how many temples want to be built here, but they are not qualified.

That's Guan Yu. Other gods probably don't have that much face.

When he arrived at the mountain, Liu Bang was startled by the lively scene.

Only a hundred steps away, there was indeed a house under construction. Judging from its appearance, it was almost completed.

And the entire area between the house and the carriage was full of people.

There are bald monks, female monks wearing sea blue, Taoist priests, some wearing white clothes, and... imperial students?

"Why are there so many people? Are they all here to stop Qin Hui?"

Su Fu said before, 'Demolishing this temple will break the backbone of the people of Song Dynasty.' Liu Bang just thought that the old man was afraid that he would not come, so he said big words.

But now it seems that what the old man said is probably true.

Lu Zai looked at his son in the crowd, feeling satisfied that he could stand here, but also afraid that he would suffer a loss.

When the emperor asked about it, he told the story of Prince Guan:

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, Buddhism has seen King Guan help Zhiyi build a temple, so Buddhism has enshrined him as Jialan; and in the second year of Chongning during Huizong's reign, Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain asked King Guan to eliminate demons;

In addition, he loved reading the Spring and Autumn Period. A few years ago, when Confucianism and Buddhism were fighting, Confucianism adopted Guan Yu as one of its own...

He also has the reputation of being unparalleled in loyalty and being a model for others, which has led to a large number of believers in this god, whether in the court or in the rivers and lakes.

In Huizong's reign, Guan Yu was granted four titles, from Zhonghui Gong to Chongning Zhenjun, from Wu'an King to Yiyong Wuan King, from Marquis to Duke to King, which indeed spanned several levels.

Take the group of people in white as an example. They are the people who do hard work in Lin'an Mansion. The one they trust most is Prince Guan. Today, Qin Hui wants to destroy the temple, but he gathers people who usually have nothing to do with him.

Together.

After listening to what Lu Zai said, Liu Bang instantly understood what Su Fu said.

If Qin Hui really wants to demolish this temple, I'm afraid more than just his spine will be broken... This guy is really vicious. This move is the same as asking people to sing Chu songs around Xiang Yu:

They are all aimed at disintegrating people's will.

At this time, the ones rushing in front were Lu You and more than a hundred Tai students. They stood between the policemen of the two temples and refused to let the other side take a step forward.

"Don't you even want your ancestors?! Don't you even want your ancestors?!"

Lu You shouted at the top of his lungs, and seeing that they were Taipei students on the opposite side, he finally couldn't go too far.

For a moment, he was also stopped.

And if you do something like demolishing Guan Yu's temple... you will indeed be peed in front of the door.

However, Prime Minister Qin had made up his mind and would not give in. He said in a deep voice:

"Students don't know state affairs! Don't block the official business of the imperial court!"

"If you don't get out of the way, you may miss your own future!"

Say whatever you say to someone, everyone can get into the Imperial Academy, and most of the family members are petty officials who look up to others, so they just point themselves out.

Anyway, the obstruction is blocking, the situation is stronger than the person, there is no need to fight here.

In an instant, most of the hundreds of Tai students dispersed silently, leaving only a dozen or twenty people, still stubbornly standing in front of the police.

Liu Bang looked at these students, nodded, and whispered to Lu Zai:

"Find out their names and submit a copy to the palace... Don't forget them, I will be able to count them by then!"

Lu Zai was so excited that he quickly agreed.

He knew that with the emperor's words, Lu You had already embarked on the high road!

And if the number of people is small, the remaining people are no longer within the scope of "the law does not punish everyone".

Prime Minister Qin waved his hand gently, and officers from Honglu and Taichang temples came forward and put shackles on the students.

They struggled hard, but to no avail. Lu You could only yell and curse:

"Qin Huizhi! You are a sycophantic minister who has wronged the country! Future generations will have their own explanation for today's events!"

"If you really dare to take action against Prince Guan, how can your Qin family face the world?"

"Qin Hui! You..."

Before Lu You could finish speaking, he was punched in the face by a kid... Lu Zai was heartbroken, but extremely proud.

And that person, Liu Bang knew him, Qin Hui's biological son Lin Yifei... The position of Minister of Rites was still vacant, and Qin Hui brought him out of the Privy Council this time just to gild.

Once the students are dealt with, the remaining people will be easier to deal with. As for the group of people from outside the country...

They were all sitting in meditation, like stones embedded in Ruishi Mountain, motionless.

There were so many words in his mouth that Liu Bang couldn't help but curse.

What are you here for?

If chanting sutras is useful, what is the use of a knife?

Just when he saw Qin Hui's group of people rushing towards the temple in a swaggering manner, he wanted to step out and stop them.

A familiar voice rang in my ears:

"Qin Hui! You are so brave!"

Liu Bang turned around and looked around, only to see an old man who was extremely dirty, with red and yellow stains all over his robe, rushing over from behind.

Watching him put his hands on the shoulders of the two forbidden soldiers, his right foot was wrapped in thick cloth, and he only relied on one foot... to jump and hold up, his movements were so funny,

But his eyes were extremely determined.

Xin Ciying...

Liu Bang couldn't believe it, and didn't dare to connect this sloppy old man with the very fastidious Confucian scholar a few days ago.
