Hearing the confused voices from everyone, Zhu Youde didn't intend to give in. He glanced at Zhou Heng and then said, "You can tell me."
Zhou Heng nodded, looked around and said: "When we raided the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, some monks also knew about it. After those monks found out, they immediately picked up weapons and fought back against us, and the counterattack methods were extremely vicious. We should
It’s a wasteland of rivers and lakes.”
"After they were all defeated by our Imperial Guards, we found these women in a kiln on the back hill of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."
Zhou Heng's words clearly reached the ears of those ministers.
King Yan, who was still very angry just now, also remained silent after hearing these words.
"Holy monk, you should be familiar with these women in front of you, right?"
Zhu Youde glanced at him and said slowly.
After hearing these words and seeing these things, the holy monk was obviously a little uneasy. After all, he also knew what this meant.
Before he could explain anything, Zhu Youde gave an order and asked the surrounding soldiers to catch him.
The people were unable to react to this sudden change.
"Today, most of the monks in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple were transformed by thieves."
"And these women were also taken captive by them. Today I will make the decision for the people."
Zhu Youde made the previous situation clear with just one sentence.
"Your Majesty, now the millions of grain and grass have also been found and placed in the back mountain."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youde waved his hand and immediately asked his officials to investigate these matters.
At this time, the people also understood what happened.
After knowing these things, they immediately rushed towards the holy monk in front of them, with their teeth and claws in their hands.
When the so-called holy monk saw this scene, he immediately backed away.
The monks around him looked harmless, but each one had a short sword exposed from his sleeve.
Everyone looked at each other and rushed towards Zhu Youde.
But before they could reach Zhu Youde, they were shot dead one by one.
There was blood flowing in front of the imperial city, but Zhu Youde turned around and left.
The subsequent investigation matters will naturally be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.
And this matter itself is extremely wide-ranging, so the officials from the Ministry of Punishments naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.
The final result was pretty much what Zhu Youde had imagined.
Most of these monks were transformed into thieves.
Zhang Fu'an originally hired them because he wanted to hijack the grain and fodder transported by water.
And after the water transport case was completed, Zhang Fuan placed them all in the temple.
That temple was actually a place where they hid their wealth.
Generally, Buddha statues need to be plated with gold, but after investigation, they found that the gold was not plated at all.
The Buddha statues in Wanfo Temple are all made of pure gold.
After adding up all those Buddha statues, there are probably several million.
This made Zhu Youde suddenly think that Zhang Yuanhai's millions of gold were actually hidden here.
Now that the holy monk came here, he actually wanted to take away all the gold hidden here.
It turns out that Zhang Yuanhai and the people from the Western Regions have long been colluding.
He just wanted to use this gold to form an alliance between the Western Regions and the Xiongnu, so that they could attack Daliang together.
After all, compared with Daliang, the Western Region can only be regarded as a poor place.
Moreover, in terms of military strength, they are far from adequate.
But once they form an alliance with the Xiongnu, the combined strength of the two is enough to rival Daliang.
Not to mention that there are still so many internal and external troubles in front of Zhu Youde.
This holy monk can be considered a noble in the Western Region, and his status is quite high.
If he were killed directly, it would definitely cause some conflicts, so Zhu Youde is just imprisoning him in the sky prison.
As for how long he will be detained, it depends on when the Western Region will send people over.
Public opinion has undergone a 180-degree turn in a short period of time.
Originally, many people came to support this holy monk, but overnight, those people seemed to have completely disappeared.
For these people, the most unbearable thing is that they kidnapped those women.
In fact, there are basically two reasons for kidnapping those women.
One is the thoughts of those bandits in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. After staying in the Buddhist temple for a long time, they naturally feel lonely.
But if you really go out with such a bald head, you will definitely run into trouble.
If someone recognized him, the entire Buddhist temple would be subject to strict investigation.
So after thinking about it, they finally decided to use such a hijacking method to satisfy their animal desires.
They put all the abducted girls in such a dark situation.
And those girls were also drugged, so they had no idea what was happening to them.
In addition, they still have another idea.
Then he wanted to use the holy monk's "method" to find those girls, so that the influence of the holy monk could spread wider throughout the whole beam.
When the influence of the holy monk reaches a certain level, he will encourage the people to rebel...
Now that this incident has spread, even the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple has been destroyed by the angry people.
Taking advantage of such an opportunity, Zhu Youde also issued an order to strictly inspect temples across the country.
All monks who were not truly familiar with Buddhism were expelled from the monastery.
The current temple itself is a mixed bag, and many people enter the temple just to avoid military service.
These are also a strong labor force for the entire dynasty.
Whether they are ordinary farmers or soldiers, they will be a relatively large complement to the entire dynasty.
If it is uprooted, it will definitely have a relatively large impact.
For some participating religious forces, he could only gradually eradicate them.
If he had taken action against Buddhism immediately before what happened yesterday, he might have received greater resistance.
But today, their reputation has dropped to a low point.
After this incident, Zhu Youde's reputation in the capital suddenly began to boil.
Many storytellers in the city even told the story of the emperor exposing the demon monk's tricks as a legendary story.
However, according to the storyteller, Zhu Youde relied on his own Taoism to fight the demon monk's Buddhism for hundreds of rounds.
After hearing this kind of thing, Zhu Youde was a little bit dumbfounded, but he did not stop the spread of this rumor.
After all, the spread of such rumors will also help increase his prestige among the people.
As for the two monks who were captured before, they can be regarded as meritorious service.
Zhu Youde did not make it difficult for them, and with their consent, he was assigned to work somewhere.
After this incident, Zhu Youde also fully realized the importance of religion...
