Chapter 660 Talking and running errands

The court wanted to search Buddhist temples, but there were basically no opposition in the court, because the Buddhists were relatively isolated and had no contact with the court. But if the Tao was to be destroyed, there would inevitably be a voice of opposition in the court.

Liu Yu knew that Shun Dynasty had been closely related to Taoism since its founding. Emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to Taoism. The official position of the national teacher has always been established since the founding of Shun Dynasty. After all, the national teacher Wu You is also a Taoist practitioner, but the Tao he practiced was not orthodox Taoism, but his newly opened alternative path.

When Liu Yu first mentioned that he wanted to thoroughly search the Taoist temple and capture the Taoist priests, Han Sheng immediately expressed that he should be cautious when he made this matter. Han Sheng knew very well about the influence of Taoism on the court, and he was afraid that Liu Yu would offend someone in the court because of this.

"This time I just searched the Taoist temple, but it was not really forbidden to Taoism. Brother Han, you are too worried."

Liu Yu asked Li Mi to arrange this matter quickly. Taking advantage of the chaos, the Three Puritans who disguise themselves in Buddhist temples may quickly transfer their bases, and this Taoist temple is a good place. Whether it is practicing Buddhism or practicing Taoism, in the eyes of secular people, they are all transcendental people, and from then on they have little to do with the world. Therefore, those who practice Buddhism and Taoism are "closed practice" and rarely come into contact with outsiders. Ordinary people naturally don't know what is in the backyard of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. Burning incense is burned against stone statues, not against people. People who truly practice Taoism and Buddhism do not care about the little money for incense. Most of them hide deep in temples and Taoist temples, which are difficult for outsiders to see.

The reason why Liu Yu didn't expect that the people of the Three Pure Sects would hide in Buddhist temples or Taoist temples before was because these two types of people were really inconspicuous and they were not in conflict with the world, so it was hard to think that these people would be involved in the struggle for power. This time, Liu Yu tried to cut off the blood of the Three Pure Sects. Even if he searched the Taoist temple, he also decided to do this.

As noon approached, the fire was basically under control in the place where Chang'an City was on fire. It was not until afternoon that the fire was extinguished. The entire Chang'an City also entered the post-fire cleaning fire scene and calming down the mood. At this time, martial law was still in the city, but martial law could no longer block the homeless and displaced victims. Fortunately, the court had prepared a place in advance to resettle these victims.

It was under such a background that Li Mi hurriedly took the people from the Six Defense Department’s Office to search the Taoist temples in the city. For the people in Chang'an City, this was a wave that had not yet been settled. The court had already made a chaos in Chang'an City after checking a Buddhist temple. If the Taoist temple was investigated again, wouldn’t it cause chaos in the world?

Liu Yuzheng discussed some details of the post-disaster reconstruction with Han Sheng, Sui Yu, the Ministry of Works and Ministry of Revenue. The captain of the guard Lian Husheng hurried to report to Liu Yutong that there were critics gathering outside the palace gate. It seemed that he was going to come over to cause trouble.

Liu Yu frowned. The city is not under martial law now. Who is causing trouble? Don’t you know the order to kill without any reckoning?

"It's a student of the Imperial College, and a student of the university..."

When Lian Husheng said this, Liu Yu thought that it was those guys again. It seemed that the lesson they had not been taught enough last time. This was because the scar was healed and he forgot the pain. Now he actually ran out to question the court's decision.

"How many people?" Liu Yu asked.

"More than 400 people, and some officials, they first criticized the court for banning the road, and then had the stance of attacking the palace. We have sent a group of guards to take down a few of them who took the lead in causing trouble, and... without the general's order, we temporarily closed the south gate of the palace."

"It's nothing big of a deal to close the palace gate." Liu Yu looked at Han Sheng. At this time, Han Sheng looked embarrassed. These Imperial College and university students were all "branches of the country", but they were the ones who came out to cause trouble this time, which made Han Sheng realize that these people may be retaliated by Liu Yu in the future.

"Dispel the crowd, no matter what method is used, don't cause casualties, and catch them one by one. Watch them and don't let them come out. I don't want to hear news about the deterioration of this matter again. You can do it." After Liu Yu gave instructions to Lian Husheng, he turned to look at Han Sheng and said, "Where did you say just now?"

Seeing that Liu Yu had left a difficult problem, he ignored him. He had to do what he expected to do. The restrictions given by Liu Yu were only to not cause casualties. In this case, he felt a little embarrassed. He saw the recklessness and excitement of the students of the Imperial College and the University. It would be difficult to intimidate them without force.

Lian Husheng originally wanted to raise these things, but when Liu Yu continued to discuss the reconstruction after the fire with the ministers, he was not easy to interrupt and left Yaqian Hall alone. When he was outside, he was a little worried. He hurriedly came over with a memorial. Lian Husheng recognized this person and Liao Mingsheng had some celebrations with him.

Since Liao Mingsheng was planning under Liu Yu's hands, he has been promoted quickly. Now he is the chief envoy of the Censorate and is responsible for pursuing the investigation of who was in the court in the Three Pure Land. This time, Liao Mingsheng came here and gave a list of verified tests. When he saw Lian Husheng coming towards him, he sneered. He was worried about the "rude" of Lian Husheng in Dongning Mansion.

Even Husheng looked down on Liao Mingsheng, who was flattering to the top. The two passed by each other and did not say hello to each other. However, after walking a few steps forward, he suddenly heard Liao Mingsheng shouting behind his back: "General Lian, please stay."

Although Lian Husheng was not just a captain of the Imperial Guard in the Imperial Guard before, after many battles, he had become a general. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to lead troops to kill enemies and make achievements on the battlefield. Even so, Liu Yu did not treat him unfairly. Lian Husheng felt unfamiliar with the title of "General Lian", because few people call him that, and almost everyone calls him "Lien Guard".

"Censor Liao Du, is there anything wrong?" Lian Husheng turned around, glanced at Lian Husheng, and asked.

Liao Mingsheng heard Lian Husheng's attitude and smiled and said, "It seems that General Lian doesn't feel that he is in trouble, ha!"

Lian Husheng was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"

Liao Mingsheng said: "When I came into the palace before, I saw a group of students at the gate of the palace. I was afraid that they were already hitting the door. If these people broke into the palace, even the general thought that the prince would let you go?"

Lian Husheng sneered disdainfully. Liao Mingsheng said as if he had left his post without permission. In fact, he went to Yaqian Palace to report the matter to Liu Yu. Lian Husheng was about to ignore Liao Mingsheng and quickly returned to the south gate of the palace to deal with the matter. Liao Mingsheng suddenly said intentionally or unintentionally: "If I were you, I would definitely kill a few people, kill a chicken to warn the monkey, and the rest would not dare to act rashly. Alas! It seems that there are too many things today, and it will be even more lively by the evening."

The speaker may not be intentional, but the listener has the intention.

Lian Husheng felt that Liao Mingsheng's words were said to him, "I have to kill a few people to establish my authority to suppress those students who are causing trouble." In fact, even Husheng agreed with this point, but... he thought of many "buttons". Finally, he thought about it. He also felt that if these students rushed into the palace, even if Liu Yu wanted to protect him, he would never spare him afterwards.

Liao Mingsheng's seemingly unintentional reminder made Lian Husheng suddenly realize that his thinking was integrated. Only in this way could he beautifully complete Liu Yu's explanation. For a moment, Lian Husheng, who was eager to make contributions to prove his ability, fell into the "condom" set by Liao Mingsheng and plunged in.

Even when he was born in front of the palace, the students were in a state of rushing to attack the gate of the palace. Last time, this group of students came to cause trouble, Liu Yu transferred a lot of people to surround them, which made the students feel guilty. In addition, the university was just established at that time, and the students of the Imperial College were all children of officials. They were constrained by the family behind them, so they could not cause any trouble. Instead, they were "caught" by Liu Yu.

But the situation is different now. Since the imperial court opened a university, it has accepted poor children and also accepted "donations" from merchants. In this way, the students in colleges and middle schools have not participated in all the generations, including ordinary people, and rich and powerful second-generation officials. These people gathered together and did not cause trouble for a day or two, but it has been almost a year. Today, I finally got a chance. I heard that the court was going to ban the way. As they planned, this was the best time to "make a name for thousands", so they flocked to the court to argue.

In this matter, these students had no malice and no one instigated them, but the way they used was a bit too extreme. Even the students arrived at the gate of the palace and realized that these students were too difficult to control, so they became ruthless and ordered the students who were forcibly dispersed.

For a time, the entrance of the palace was very lively. These students were obstructed by officers and soldiers, and they were swords and swords, but they were not cowardly. This time, the leaders of these students were not children of the official family, but a group of ordinary poor children who were "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water". This time, the fire in Chang'an City also had a certain impact on their families. They also hoped to make themselves famous while petitioning for the people and the "righteous way".

Subsequently, a small-scale riot occurred at the palace gate. Then, Lian Husheng was angry and remembered Liao Mingsheng's remarks and taught the students a lesson by "killing chickens to warn monkeys". So he ordered the two student representatives who led the trouble on the spot, and tied up the leaders who had been arrested before and hung them on the gate of the palace to show public.

Lian Husheng thought very simply. If you want to get things done, you must have some means. He and Liu Yu have been with him for a long time. He knew that Liu Yu was known for his ruthlessness. This time he took ruthlessness. When he thought about it, although Liu Yu would blame him, he would generally appreciate his actions that dared to take responsibility.

But he ignored one thing: Liu Yu's cruel and ruthless targets were politicians or enemies on the battlefield, while his targets were students who came to petition with sympathy for the entire Dashun Dynasty.

Although Lian Husheng scared the students a little, many students were still fighting with the officers and soldiers. Lian Husheng felt that these students were fighting with him, so he ordered the city gate to be closed. No matter how trouble the students caused, he would not come out to pay attention.

Soon, the news reached Yaqian Hall and also spread throughout Chang'an City. Liu Yu's first reaction when he heard the news was that he was seeking death even if he lived.
