Chapter 166 The army overcomes the clouds, all obstacles, kill! Kill! Kill!
Chapter 166 The army is overwhelming. All obstacles, kill! Kill! Kill!
"According to His Majesty's order, the army has gathered and prepared quickly to destroy the Buddha."
Along with the extremely passionate voices, countless military camps outside Daxia Kyoto began to boil.
These soldiers are all ready to go and their morale is high.
And inside the Duke's Mansion.
Gu Jinnian went straight to the old man's study. At this moment, the old man was also in the study, explaining some matters.
"grandfather."
Entering the study, Gu Jinnian shouted.
At that moment, Mr. Gu nodded, and the soldiers in the study left one by one.
After the people left, Gu Jinnian looked at Mr. Gu and said.
"Grandpa, why did His Majesty appoint you to destroy the Buddha this time?"
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked the old man.
Obviously he requested the order himself, but His Majesty chose the old man to conquer Buddhism. This was not what he wanted to see.
Destroy the Buddha.
Not only the influence of reputation, but also the influence of the will of heaven and earth. After all, Buddhism is blessed by destiny.
Directly destroying the Buddha would inevitably arouse the disgust of heaven and earth, but since he had the mark of destiny, he was not afraid of this.
His personal luck is indeed not comparable to that of the entire Buddhist sect, but Gu Jinnian believes that his own luck can still suppress a large Buddhist sect.
Listening to Gu Jinnian's doubts.
Mr. Gu looked calm.
"Grandpa and Your Majesty have already discussed it. The matter of destroying the Buddha is something that Your Majesty has always wanted to do. Grandpa is the Duke of the country. It is not your turn to bear the brunt of such a big thing."
"Jinnian, you are the future of Daxia. It's time for us old guys to take part in some matters."
"Don't be nagging about this matter. You cannot support the Great Xia Dynasty alone."
"Quickly gather 30,000 elite men and do what you want to do. His Majesty has ordered that it is up to you to decide to destroy the Buddha this time. This is the messenger talisman of the Immortal Way. It is worth ten thousand gold and is extremely precious. You only need to write it on it.
Grandpa will respond to the order as soon as possible."
Mr. Gu took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to Gu Jinnian.
This is a messenger talisman, which is extremely valuable. There are only two or three in the entire Daxia Dynasty. At first, they were reluctant to use it in the border battle, but now they are given to Gu Jinnian.
Mr. Gu will take control of Daxia Buddhism as soon as possible, and then he will wait for Gu Jinnian's order.
"Thirty thousand elite?"
"Grandpa, take these people with you?"
Gu Jinnian was slightly silent.
Thirty thousand elites seems a bit small.
"Thirty thousand is a lot."
"The main force is to control other Buddhist temples, and His Majesty has invited Mr. Dongfang to accompany you."
Mr. Gu looked at his grandson with some annoyance. Thirty thousand elites were indeed a lot. They were an extremely powerful force. It was nothing to destroy a few Buddhist temples.
Moreover, Emperor Yongsheng even invited a peerless master to Gu Jinnian.
Mr. Oriental.
"Mr. Dongfang? Is he one of the top three sword masters of the East?"
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the words Mr. Dongfang.
"kindness."
"A strong man at the sixth level of swordsmanship will only defeat one person in his life."
Mr. Gu said calmly.
"who?"
Gu Jinnian was curious. He had heard of Mr. Dongfang, a peerless genius in swordsmanship.
The kendo lineage is a separate system. People have cultivated swords with Qi since childhood and are separated from the immortal way. However, there are many people who follow the kendo lineage, but there are very few people who are truly successful.
There are many people taking this path entirely because of the Immortal Path, which is more handsome and powerful. However, very few people can take this path, fewer than other systems.
"Old Demonic Man."
Mr. Gu spoke slowly.
"ha?"
Gu Jinnian really didn't expect that it would be Old Man Tianmo, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Don't worry about these people. Their strength is unpredictable. When they step into the sixth realm, when destiny comes, these people will hopefully step into the seventh realm. Jinnian, you must also seize the time to improve your cultivation. Dynasty
It won’t hold you back for much time.”
"In the battle for destiny, personal force will subvert everything. If one day you can step into the eighth realm, everything in this world will be just a cloud in your eyes, whether it is Daxia or Dajin, even the so-called invincible Zhongzhou
The dynasty is nothing in your eyes."
Mr. Gu spoke up and said this, urging Gu Jinnian to improve his cultivation as soon as possible and not to put all his thoughts on the dynasty.
"My grandson understands, but this eighth realm is a bit difficult."
Gu Jinnian understands this truth. When one's personal strength reaches its peak, one can be proud of the world.
But the problem is, let alone the Eighth Realm, the Seventh Realm today are all invincible existences, and only two or three people in one era. Even according to what the old man Tianmo said, there is no real Seventh Realm in this world at all.
The few remaining strong men in the seventh realm are hiding one by one and only have one chance to take action. This shows how difficult the seventh realm is.
Therefore, in the eighth realm, you cannot think about it, because if you think about it, you don’t have it.
"That's true."
"Okay, let's get ready."
"Jinnian, this time, since you have to do it, do it absolutely. You don't need to worry about anything, you know?"
Mr. Gu continued, telling Gu Jinnian to do it with confidence and do it boldly.
"My grandson understands."
"But grandpa, you can't kill a monk who has written a blood letter and returned to secular life. If you insist on not realizing it, you will kill him if you should."
Gu Jinnian nodded. Since that was the point, he didn't say much more. He just told his thoughts.
"Don't worry, grandpa is sensible."
Mr. Gu nodded, and Gu Jinnian left the study directly and walked outside the Gu family.
Just as he walked out of Gu's house, a figure appeared in Gu Jinnian's eyes, it was Su Huaiyu.
He was waiting for him at the door of Gu's house.
"Master Hou."
Su Huaiyu shouted.
"Brother Su, do you want to go with us?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"kindness."
"Let's go take a trip. It's a big event to witness the fall of Buddhism with your own eyes."
"The Tianyu Army's 30,000 elite troops are waiting outside Kyoto."
Su Huaiyu nodded.
"good."
Gu Jinnian was unambiguous, and after agreeing, he and Su Huaiyu rushed directly outside Kyoto.
outside the city.
Not only the Tianyu Army's 30,000 troops, but also other military camps each drew out 500,000 troops, waiting in the distance.
"My subordinate Zhao Yu has met Mr. Hou."
"My subordinate Wang Peng has met the Marquis."
"My subordinate Xu Jin has met the Marquis."
At this moment, the commander of the Tianyu Army walked over quickly, bringing with him several soldiers, including Xu Jin and Wang Peng. The two of them were placed in the Tianyu Army by Gu Jinnian, and their positions were still generals.
It was the same as before in the Shankui Army, except that the officers and soldiers of the Tianyu Army knew that Wang Peng and Xu Jin were both close confidants of Gu Jinnian. Naturally, they had a certain prestige in the army, which was much better than that in the Shankui Army.
"Master Marquis, 30,000 elite troops are ready. Please give the order, Master Marquis."
Zhao Yu spoke, wearing iron armor.
"Walk."
"Go straight to Puhan Temple in Guiyang County."
"Wang Peng, check all the temples along the way for me and kill them one by one."
"Xu Jin, you lead three thousand elites and gallop forward. Notify all the temples along the way and tell them that if they sign a blood letter and return to secular life, the Great Xia Dynasty will give them a way to survive. If they persist in their stubbornness, they will be killed when the army comes."
Gu Jinnian's voice was cold and he issued two notices.
He wanted to push all the way across, but wherever he went, there was no ancient temple.
"Follow orders."
The two responded with their hands raised, and then Xu Jin led three thousand elite troops and galloped towards Guiyang County.
Gu Jinnian also mounted a war horse instead of a jade chariot because he wanted to conquer it himself.
In this way, the 30,000-strong army rushed towards Guiyang County in a mighty manner.
The main hall of the royal palace.
All civil and military officials gathered.
The controversy was huge.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the Buddha."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you destroy the Buddha, it will definitely bring disaster to our country. Please take back your Majesty's orders."
"The Great Xia Dynasty is a state of etiquette, embracing all rivers. Even if there are tens of thousands of Buddhists, Buddhism should not be completely destroyed. If this spreads, it will be a sin to the world. Moreover, Buddhism is extremely powerful. If it is
If Xia destroys Buddha, I'm afraid it will lead to a big mistake."
Several voices sounded in the court hall, and all the officials were still very resistant to destroying the Buddha.
After all, Buddhism has not infringed upon their interests, and the destruction of Buddhism is not a trivial matter, so they naturally want to stop it.
"Buddhism is expanding wantonly and does not respect the law. Why can't it be destroyed?"
The voice of Gu Leng, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, rang out. Facing the crowd, Gu Leng directly stood up to support the destruction of the Buddha.
"The expansion of Buddhism has a vague intention of taking over Daxia. Just a fairy sect will cause a lot of troubles. If Buddhism takes over Daxia, will the people listen to your majesty or the Buddhist monks in the future?
Word?"
"The old minister believes that the destruction of Buddha is imminent."
Yang Kai's voice also sounded, and both the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites agreed to destroy the Buddha.
"Actually, I believe that Buddhism does not necessarily need to be destroyed. As long as Buddhism is willing to pay taxes and cancel some systems, it can be considered a form of suppression. There is no need to completely destroy Buddhism. Please think twice."
He Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, spoke next. He had previously agreed to destroy the Buddha, but now he had changed his mind. It seemed that someone had approached him and had some discussions.
Facing the words of hundreds of officials.
Emperor Yongsheng seemed calm. After the officials finished speaking, Emperor Yongsheng's voice slowly sounded.
"I have made up my mind to destroy the Buddha."
He spoke softly, making the hall extremely quiet.
"His Majesty."
"I believe that this matter is still inappropriate. Once Buddhism is destroyed in Daxia, the Fuluo Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty will definitely use this as an excuse to criticize our Daxia Dynasty, and the influence of Buddhism will affect the world. Furthermore, after the destruction of Buddhism, I am afraid that
It will harm the national destiny of our Great Xia Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, please think again."
At this moment, Li Shan's voice sounded. At this juncture, the emperor had already made up his mind, but Li Shan still dissuaded him.
It seems that the influence of Buddhism is indeed great.
"I said, I have decided on this matter."
Emperor Yongsheng showed no expression and just spoke coldly again.
At this moment, the hall was completely quiet, and even Li Shan was silent, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Emperor Yongsheng's voice sounded again.
"The matter of destroying the Buddha will be handled by the Duke of Zhenguo. You should not continue to discuss anything."
"Right now, there is another thing that I need to ask all of you, dear ones."
The matter of destroying the Buddha is already settled, there is no need to persuade, and the civil and military officials have nothing to say.
He is the emperor, he just decides.
The officials were silent. At this moment, they felt the oppression of Emperor Yongsheng. This oppression was new.
From Gu Jinnian.
Yes, from Gu Jinnian.
In the past year, Daxia's national fortunes have been prosperous, the domestic situation has been getting better day by day, the Xiongnu Kingdom, the biggest enemy, has also been severely beaten, the twelve cities have been returned, and the prestige of Emperor Yongsheng has become higher and higher.
The higher the emperor's prestige, the greater his power. Naturally, no one dared to say anything to Emperor Yongsheng.
A year ago, officials would have been quarreling for three days and three nights over the matter of destroying the Buddha. Moreover, even if Emperor Yongsheng was determined to destroy the Buddha, someone would probably die to protest against it.
It's not that Emperor Yongsheng is weak, but because of various reasons, he has to worry about his ministers' thoughts and his own reputation.
But it's different now.
Whatever he says is what he says.
"In the Jiangnan area, this year's tax revenue is less than 70% of last year's. I checked it carefully. Since the founding of the country by Taizu, unprecedented national power has been expended to support the Jiangnan area. But why has the tax revenue dropped every year since I ascended the throne?"
"I dare to ask you dear friends, why is this?"
Emperor Yongsheng spoke up and mentioned another thing.
Jiangnan taxation.
This matter is not a trivial matter, and of course it is not something that happened recently, but since he came to the throne, there has been a big tax problem in the entire Jiangnan, and tax revenue has dropped every year.
It is obviously the most prosperous place, but in recent years the taxes collected have become less and less. There have been no natural disasters or human disasters. The imperial court has allocated funds every year to build bridges and roads, and there are about two large rivers in the Jiangnan area.
Accompany.
Theoretically, we don’t say how much it will increase year by year, but it will definitely not decrease.
There must be something fishy about this.
Moreover, the forces involved are definitely not limited. It is estimated that half of the civil and military officials in the court are involved.
Emperor Yongsheng understood.
But he held back because he couldn't take any action to deal with this matter. Now that he had time, foundation and strength, he naturally had to deal with this matter.
For a moment, the hall seemed extremely quiet, and no one dared to speak.
"He Aiqing, what do you think?"
Emperor Yongsheng continued to ask.
"Your Majesty, the area south of the Yangtze River is indeed rich in fertile fields, accompanied by rivers, and trade is prosperous. However, the taxation in the south of the Yangtze River has been tax reduction and exemption policies since Taizu. Moreover, our business tax in Daxia is not a heavy tax, twenty taxes
one."
"Moreover, the merchants in the Jiangnan area are scattered, and most of them are retail traders. Although it seems prosperous, it is difficult to manage, and the tax revenue drops year by year."
He Yan spoke up and gave an official answer.
There is a reason for the tax reduction and exemption in the Jiangnan area. The area south of the Yangtze River was originally the Southern Kingdom, and the monarchs of the Southern Kingdom were generous and broad-minded. Taizu regained the Southern Kingdom and captured it without using any weapons.
The monarch of the Southern Kingdom had only one request, that is, after the founding of the Xia Dynasty, he hoped that Taizu would treat the people of the Southern Kingdom well and reduce grain taxes.
Therefore, Taizu made an oath that twenty years after the founding of the country, the Jiangnan area would be prosperous and grain taxes would be reduced.
Later, the whole country did make Jiangnan rich, but Jiangnan was rich, but the national treasury was empty.
It is also a thorny issue.
However, listening to what He Yan said, Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but sneered.
"It's really ridiculous."
"Is improper management the reason?"
"He Yan, I now order you to reorganize the taxation in the Jiangnan area and investigate thoroughly for me. If the officials in the Jiangnan area dare to collect taxes like this, there must be someone secretly covering it up, and there must be collusion between officials and businessmen."
"After three months, if there are no results, you, the Minister of Household Affairs, will be finished."
"Retreat from the court."
Emperor Yongsheng stood up, said this coldly, and then left directly.
But this sentence made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Especially He Yan.
I feel unprecedented pressure.
Although I don’t know whether Emperor Yongsheng used the Jiangnan tax issue as a shield to destroy the Buddha, but no matter what, Emperor Yongsheng was angry.
And at the same time.
It has been two hours since Gu Jinnian left the capital.
Kyoto is four hundred miles away.
The army rushed towards them, and at the same time, there were also sounds of military reports.
"Master Marquis, Wang Peng has sent information that all the monks in the temples within six hundred miles along the road have returned to secular life, but there is only one temple that is refusing to leave."
Xu Jin opened his mouth to inform him of the situation ahead.
Wang Peng led three thousand elites to work in advance at the front.
"kill."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly, with no emotion in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xu Jin didn't think anything. Gu Jinnian had said before that he would destroy the Buddha. If someone dared to seek death, they were not afraid.
"Follow orders."
Xu Jin didn't hesitate and immediately asked someone to pass on the information.
So, about an hour later.
In a temple, hundreds of monks have firm eyes. They are sitting in the temple without fear of anything, and the host is even reciting scriptures.
At this moment, Wang Peng's voice was extremely cold.
"Pass the Marquis's order."
"Those who don't obey will be killed without mercy!"
As a cold voice sounded, three thousand cavalry stepped directly into the temple.
The sword is ruthless and blood is everywhere.
Screams rang out at this moment, and some monks even looked horrified.
"Host, host, didn't you say they were just trying to scare people?"
"Host, save me, save me."
"Amitabha, I am willing to return to secular life, I am willing to return to secular life."
In an instant, countless voices rang out in the temple. Some monks were completely panicked and scared to death. Some monks even fled in all directions, complaining incessantly.
But Daxia's sword has no human feelings at all.
Military orders are like mountains.
In less than a moment, voices sounded one after another.
"Report, General, there are no survivors in the entire temple."
As this voice sounded, Wang Peng, on his horse, spit on the ground and then spoke.
"Burn it clean and leave twenty people to post notices. The rest will follow me."
Wang Peng didn't hesitate, grabbed the reins, and continued walking forward.
And so.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
The extermination of Buddhism in Daxia Kyoto has been completely spread throughout the Eastern Wasteland, including the Buddhist sect.
Suddenly, it was like a huge boulder hitting the calm pool, causing huge ripples.
"There is nothing wrong with Buddhism, so why destroy the Buddha?"
"Buddhist monks save the souls of the dead. This is the righteous way of heaven and earth. Why destroy the Buddha?"
"Why did Hao Duanduan destroy the Buddha?"
In the beginning, there were just some voices of doubt. Many people did not understand why Daxia destroyed Buddhism. In the eyes of the world, Buddhism did not do anything wrong. On the contrary, Buddhist monks would go to save the souls of the dead and solve the problems of the people.
Naturally, people don't understand it, even the people of Daxia don't understand it very well.
But then, some remarks appeared, which were intentional.
"Buddhists should never, never offend Gu Jinnian."
"It is Gu Jinnian who has a grudge against Buddhism. Buddhism is compassionate and does not want too many killings in this world. However, he did not expect that Gu Jinnian would not hesitate to massacre a temple in order to make a contribution in order to secure his position as a marquis. Now the Dongchuang Incident has occurred
, to destroy the Buddha."
"Because of selfish desires, he started to exterminate the Buddha. Is this the style of the first prince of Daxia? If he really has the ability, why not exterminate the demon? Exterminate the demon?"
"Not to mention, according to rumors, Gu Jinnian, the first prince of Daxia, is related to the most powerful person in the Demon Sect."
"seriously?"
"More than that, it is rumored that Gu Jinnian did not have the acupoint by accident, but a strong man from the Demon Sect joined forces with him to seize the talents of others and open the acupoint for him. Therefore, Gu Jinnian is talented. Otherwise, why would he have been a playboy ten years ago and suddenly suddenly ten years later?
Become so smart?"
"It's really possible. Just look at Gu Jinnian's current situation. It's full of killing."
Many voices sounded.
Most of these noises are intentional. Someone comes forward to confuse the audience.
However, there is no shortage of wise men in this world.
Many people also spoke up to criticize Buddhism, carefully analyzed the reasons for the extermination of Buddhism this time, and also said many good things for Gu Jinnian.
But unfortunately, this voice was ignored by this group of people.
The reason is very simple. This group of people deliberately set the pace. They benefited from it and poured dirty water on Gu Jinnian.
However, the number of this group of people was not large after all, and the Great Xia Dynasty also issued an imperial edict when rumors were spreading.
List the top ten sins of Buddhism and then tell the world.
Among Buddhist mistakes, the most serious ones are three.
One, no taxes.
Buddhist enclosures are subject to approval by the dynasty. Basically, there won’t be too much land, just enough for one’s own food and drink.
But Buddhism is encircling the land wantonly. This is a disguised form of common people, greedy for the treasury of Daxia.
Second, the labor force has decreased.
For young people to become monks instead of tilling the land or farming, it seems to be the right path in the world. But if everyone becomes a monk, who will farm the land? Where does the food come from? Does the country still want to develop?
Third, make money.
People sent their money to merit boxes one after another, but how many natural and man-made disasters occurred in Daxia? How much did the Buddhist sects in the country donate?
Wasn't all this silver used by these Buddhists to eat, drink and have fun?
These three items are the most serious. After the imperial decree was announced, the situation reversed instantly, and many people recognized this imperial decree.
Support the destruction of Buddha.
However, after the public opinion situation was under control, other situations occurred again.
When the imperial edict was announced to the world, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, and the envoys of many small countries in the Eastern Wasteland jointly put pressure on the Daxia Dynasty.
He believes that Buddha can never be destroyed.
It's against nature.
Especially the Fuluo Dynasty had the toughest attitude.
At this moment.
Inside the Imperial Palace of Daxia.
The envoys from various countries stood in the main hall, and the envoys from the Fuluo Dynasty took the lead and spoke to Emperor Yongsheng.
"Your Majesty."
"Daxia must not destroy the Buddha. Buddhism is a practice recognized by heaven and earth. They are blessed by destiny and destiny. If Daxia destroys the Buddha, the national fortune will be reduced."
"More than that, if Daxia really destroys the Buddha, this fate will affect the entire Eastern Barren Territory. At that time, natural and man-made disasters will befall all countries. For such consequences, I dare to ask, can the Holy Lord Daxia be held responsible?"
The Fuluo envoy had a very tough attitude, giving the impression that he was not here to negotiate, but to raise an army to prosecute.
"Bold."
"You are really impudent. How dare you speak so loudly in front of me, the Great Xia Sage?"
The voice of Gu Leng, the left minister of the Criminal Department, sounded.
He rebuked the Fuluo envoy with cold eyes.
A mere envoy, when meeting His Majesty the Great Xia, raised his voice so loudly in the court hall? This is a crime of great disrespect.
Facing Gu Leng's rebuke, Envoy Fuluo frowned slightly, he did so out of desperation.
But at this moment, the envoy of Daijin spoke.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Fuluo Envoy did this out of desperation. Please forgive me. I think with your Majesty's courage, I won't argue with ministers like us."
"Your Majesty Daxia, I, His Majesty Dajin, hope to mediate this matter and hope that Daxia will not destroy the Buddha."
The envoy of Dajin immediately came out to smooth things over. He bowed to Emperor Yongsheng and then expressed the thoughts of the Dajin Dynasty.
On the Dragon Throne.
Emperor Yongsheng had no expression on his face.
It is true that he does not care about the attitude of these envoys and is not so petty, but this does not mean that the other party can yell like this.
"reconcile?"
"Reconciliation again?"
"You want to reconcile the twelve cities on the border. Now that Daxia has destroyed Buddhism, do you still want to reconcile?"
"This is Daxia's state affairs. When will it be your turn to intervene? The hand of the Jin Dynasty has stretched too far, right?"
"Today, when all the countries come here, can I understand that you are here to threaten me? To threaten the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Emperor Yongsheng looked at these people with a cold face and said so.
"Please, Your Majesty Daxia, please calm down. Of course we have no such intention."
"It's just that the matter of destroying Buddha involves too much. If the Buddha is really destroyed, it will only affect the Daxia Dynasty. We will not say a word. This is the state affairs of the Daxia Dynasty. We will indeed not participate. But if the Daxia Dynasty is destroyed,
Buddha, causes natural disasters."
"It involves the Eastern Wasteland. May I ask, Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Does it mean that the Great Xia Dynasty will provide compensation? If this is what the Holy One means, we will leave immediately and return to our country to resume our duties."
The other party opened his mouth, and was extremely cunning and sharp, using this method to interfere with the matter.
"ridiculous."
"The Great Jin Dynasty has done this kind of thing many times. In the second year of Kaiyuan of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty released floods, causing countless people to drown on both sides of the Great Xia Dynasty. I dare to ask if the Great Jin Dynasty has compensated my Great Xia Dynasty.
?”
The voice of Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, stood up and asked about this matter.
Hearing this, Envoy Fuluo couldn't help but speak out.
"How many years ago did this happen? Furthermore, this was not done intentionally by the Jin Dynasty. After all, if the flood is not released, there will be more casualties by then, and our Fuluo Dynasty will also have many casualties. These are two different things and cannot be confused."
Envoy Fuluo spoke.
When the Jin Dynasty did something wrong, it was right.
What the Xia Dynasty did was wrong.
Moreover, this is still an internal matter within the Daxia Dynasty. Who can decide whether it is right or wrong?
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court changed, and they all cursed Envoy Fuluo in their hearts.
"What does it matter to me, the Great Xia, whether you Fuluo people die or not? You are willing to be dogs, but I, the Great Xia Dynasty, are not willing to do so."
Yang Kai's voice rang out, he couldn't hold it in anymore and scolded the other party angrily.
As soon as this statement came out.
Manchao was surprised, he really didn't expect Yang Kai to say such a thing.
In the past, Yang Kai was considered polite, especially in major-country diplomacy. He was polite and measured his words repeatedly, and would never speak nonsense.
I didn’t expect that I would be transsexual now.
Indeed, after saying this, Yang Kai himself was a little unaware, and then he took the initiative to speak out without waiting for Envoy Fuluo to criticize.
"Your Majesty, what I said just now was inappropriate. I may have gotten too close to Jinnian. Please forgive me."
Yang Kai spoke out, his words were not shirk, but the truth.
"It is really not good to make such remarks in the court. OK, I will punish you by excerpting from my collection of poems twenty times."
Emperor Yongsheng sounded very comfortable with Yang Kai's words.
So I just gave him a symbolic penalty.
All civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but want to laugh. Isn't this an obvious way to bully others?
But, right now.
A figure appeared outside.
"Report!"
"The scouts came to report that the army had arrived at Yangnong Mansion. There are twelve temples in this mansion. The monks from the twelve temples gathered together, with a total of 13,294 monks. They gathered firewood to surround the temple.
I swear not to return, the Marquis Tianming has just arrived."
A figure appeared and then reported what happened ahead.
More than 13,000 monks gathered in twelve temples and took the initiative to accumulate firewood. This was to confront Daxia.
And Marquis Tianming had just arrived, and he didn't know what the outcome would be.
For a moment, there was some silence in the hall.
The envoys from various countries were also somewhat silent.
They were curious about what Gu Jinnian would do.
There are more than 10,000 monks.
If this was really a killing, it would be no small matter.
Because so far, the major forces are still not sure whether Daxia really wants to destroy Buddhism, or whether it is using this opportunity to shock Buddhism.
If it is to shock Buddhism, then it is actually not bad. Not many monks can be killed, it is just a lesson.
If the Buddha is really destroyed, it will not affect Daxia, but the entire Eastern Wasteland, and even more forces will be involved.
The main hall is quiet.
About two quarters of an hour later, another figure appeared.
It seemed extremely hasty.
At this moment, everyone in the hall held their breath, waiting for the next step.
"Report."
"The Marquis of Tianming has left Yangnong Mansion."
As this voice sounded, all kinds of emotions arose in everyone's hearts.
Envoy Fuluo and Daijin were secretly relieved that they were not killed after all.
If he really wants to be killed, Donghuang will boil.
It also means that Daxia is really going to take the knife.
Then it's not a negotiation.
Maybe countries have to intervene.
As for Emperor Yongsheng, he couldn't help but frown slightly. What did Gu Jinnian mean by leaving?
"Where are the monks?"
Gu Leng spoke up and asked the latter.
"Sir, I estimate that all those monks have been saved by the Marquis and returned to the west."
The latter responded.
Suddenly, the hall fell silent.
This kind of salvation is very spiritual.
"More than 13,000 monks, all have been saved?"
Some officials couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and looked at the other party and asked.
"This subordinate doesn't know. The information I got is that Marquis Tianming came to the temple and ordered the soldiers to light a fire to save these monks."
The latter lowered his head and said this.
He wasn't sure.
But everyone in the hall is not a fool. If they dare to light a fire, they will not let anyone go.
hiss.
hiss.
In the main hall, the sound of breathing could be heard one after another.
Be it civil or military officials or envoys from various countries.
Everyone was shocked.
Gu Jinnian killed more than 13,000 monks whenever he asked. He was really brave.
"Your Majesty, Great Xia, you must never do this."
"Please ask the Holy One to issue an order to stop destroying the Buddha first, otherwise it will attract the resentment of heaven."
At this moment, the envoys of Daijin and Fuluo hurriedly spoke out. These thirteen thousand monks were definitely just an appetizer. If they continued to let them go like this, they would really be wiped out.
"Shut up!"
On the dragon throne, after learning that Gu Jinnian had taken action, Emperor Yongsheng stood up directly. He looked at the group of envoys from various countries under the main hall and said with a cold face.
"It is not the turn of other countries to intervene in the state affairs of Daxia. I have made up my mind. You can go back and report to the kings of various countries."
"Whether it is Fu Luo or Da Jin, we will always respond to any battle."
"Retreat from the court."
Emperor Yongsheng's tone was cold.
This is his final announcement.
Also the last words.
Mind your own business first, if you stretch your hand too far, you may get beaten easily.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the envoys from various countries became a little unsightly.
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
The civil and military officials also gave the strongest response at this moment. Since the emperor has decided, they and their ministers will not sing the opposite.
Especially in front of outsiders.
This is the spirit of a great country.
It's decided, it's decided.
in this way.
Another day has passed.
The news of the burning of the temple also spread instantly, and no one of the more than 13,000 monks survived.
They resisted the decree and disrespected it.
This is the end.
Suddenly, when the news came out, it triggered discussions throughout the Eastern Wasteland, and the three major Buddhist sects were completely unable to sit still.
"Da Xia's actions are against the laws of nature."
"What's the difference between these behaviors and those of demons? Marquis Tianming, if you are too murderous, you will be punished by God."
"I hope the Emperor of Daxia will think twice before acting, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha immediately."
The three major temples made their stance immediately.
The meaning of these three sentences is also very direct.
Xiaoyuan Temple was emotional, but also angry.
Dayinsi directly rebuked and pointed the finger at Gu Jinnian.
As for ascending Tantra, his attitude is also the most profound.
Let the Great Xia Dynasty stop now. There are still discussions. If you persist, Buddhism may take action.
The performance of Buddhism, in the eyes of many forces, is extremely abnormal. When something like this happened, the three major Buddhist sects only shouted a few words, but did not actually intervene.
It makes people full of doubts.
The Dajin Dynasty and Fuluo Dynasty also expressed their attitude immediately.
The Fuluo Dynasty led 500,000 troops to the border, hoping that the Daxia Dynasty could calm down. If necessary, the Fuluo Dynasty would do its best to save the Buddhist monks of Daxia.
The Dajin Dynasty also rushed to the border with 500,000 troops, calling on the Daxia Dynasty to hold talks with Buddhism instead of just killing.
Both dynasties have already sent troops, and even though things have reached this point, they are still under control.
But everyone knows that if a war breaks out accidentally, no one will be able to control the situation at that time, and it will only become more and more intense, and it is very likely to trigger the Eastern Wasteland War.
The war between the three most prosperous dynasties.
For the Huns, this was a God-given opportunity. If the three dynasties fought together, the Huns would definitely be able to gain more benefits from it.
He could even avenge his past humiliation and take back the twelve cities again, not even the twelve cities, but more cities.
As for the Daxia Dynasty.
As if he knew what the Huns were thinking.
On the same day, the Ministry of Rites also issued a notice.
Once again, he listed all the sins of Buddhism, and then denounced the actions of the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty. The two dynasties had no right to interfere in the internal affairs of Daxia.
The Ministry of War of Daxia also responded immediately. If a war breaks out, the Ministry of War will definitely send troops directly to fight with the two countries.
If the two dynasties dare to step into the territory of Daxia, the two dynasties will be deemed to have declared war with the Daxia Dynasty.
No opportunity for explanation is given.
If there is a battle, we will respond.
At the same time, they will immediately target the Huns, raise 800,000 troops, fight on the border, and ride on the royal court at all costs.
When this news came out, the Huns could no longer laugh.
I thought I could benefit from it, but I didn't expect that the Great Xia Dynasty had already understood everything.
As long as there is a war, the Huns will be destroyed.
Don't give any chance.
Want to make a profit? That’s wishful thinking.
As for the Ministry of War, only two words were passed down from top to bottom.
【Preparation】
There is no unnecessary explanation and no unnecessary nonsense.
All soldiers prepare for battle.
Sprinkle your blood on the battlefield and bring out the prestige of Daxia.
This war is no longer a choice between fighting or not fighting, but a choice between the majesty of a great power.
When did the Great Xia Dynasty take turns getting the thumbs-up from other dynasties?
Internal matters should be resolved internally.
Is it someone else's turn to intervene?
This is the bottom line of the dynasty.
And on this day.
It is less than a hundred miles away from Guiyang County.
Another thing happened.
Maybe it’s because Buddhism is smart.
Outside Guiyang County, there is a Tianyun Temple. This temple is not particularly big, but for some unknown reason, all the monks from the surrounding temples gathered here.
There were more monks than before, more than 20,000 monks, but this time they were smarter and did not wait to die by themselves.
Instead, he called believers and gathered around the temple.
I want to use the common people to stop the Daxia cavalry.
This move is very insidious.
Also very scary.
If it is just to simply destroy the Buddha, it doesn't matter, but if innocent people are involved, then the matter will not be simple.
At that time, all forces will condemn the Daxia Dynasty. Not only that, but if it is pushed down horizontally like before, Buddhism will definitely have other means to attract celestial punishment.
Therefore, this move can be called unsolvable.
This matter has also attracted the attention of countless forces, including the Great Xia Dynasty, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Eastern Barren Kingdoms, and even the forces of the Central Continent Dynasty.
Especially the Daxia court was extremely controversial.
If anything, I had supported Gu Jinnian one-sidedly before.
But when it comes to this matter, there are too many people who oppose it.
When civilians were around, they really couldn't mess around. In the end, Emperor Yongsheng also issued a secret order to make Gu Jinnian think twice.
When it comes to innocent people, we can't make fun of it.
Outside Tianyun Temple.
At least 100,000 believers gathered. They sat back to back, forming a circle, giving people a feeling of death.
There is no need to fear the Daxia cavalry at all.
Three thousand cavalry led by Wang Peng gathered here, their eyes full of anxiety and hesitation.
Faced with such a situation, Wang Peng did not dare to act recklessly and could only wait for Gu Jinnian.
in this way.
About half an hour later.
Finally, a mighty army appeared.
It's Gu Jinnian.
Led 27,000 cavalry and arrived at Tianyun Temple.
Among the army.
Gu Jinnian has already learned about the situation at Tianyun Temple.
Use the flesh and blood of the people to stop the cavalry of the army.
This move.
It's indeed cruel enough.
But this move.
It is indeed useful.
Even Gu Jinnian felt huge hesitation and entanglement in his heart.
