Chapter 1,686 The storm is coming

.

Li Er launched a "Xuanwumen Incident" to set an example for his descendants, telling them that the fate of life is not destined. The so-called "destiny" can also be interpreted in many ways. As long as you "have great ambitions, you can succeed."

dare

"Put others first", nothing is impossible.

In this society where the ancestors inherited, even if he is not the eldest son, it is entirely possible for him to complete a counterattack with his own efforts... For an individual, Li Er is a role model for countless people. He used his own path to counterattack successfully.

It has set an example for everyone. But for the overall situation, this kind of "uneasy duty" and "go against the will of heaven" measures need to be vigorously promoted.

Damn it, the original intention of Zong Zuo's succession was to make society operate in an orderly manner. Once this order is broken and everyone "denies their fate", wouldn't it be a chaos in the world? The royal family is even more prepared for this. The instigator, His Majesty Li Er, passed the "Xuanwu"

However, he also knew that once this rule was passed down and everyone in the future generations followed suit, the Tang Dynasty would never have peace, so he did not

Duan taught his children to be respectful to brothers and be humble and orderly. Even though he was extremely dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, he still hesitated about Yi Chu and could never make a firm decision.

When Li Chengqian ascended the throne, the crown prince was not a direct descendant, and the crisis regarding the inheritance of the throne emerged again. How could the royal family not pay attention to this and take precautions before it happens?



A light rain has been falling continuously for many days. The water levels of various rivers have risen, and the drought in Guanzhong has been greatly alleviated. When the sun rises, the Ghost Festival has arrived. Countless monks and Taoists have rushed to Chang'an from all over the country. In the past few days,

Whenever you enter various passes in Guanzhong, there is an endless stream of monks and monks holding customs clearance documents on the road. In the temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an City, monks and monks gather together, rubbing shoulders, and even

There are dozens of times more monks and monks walking on the street than usual. The Da Ci'en Temple in the city and the Caolou Temple in the south of the city are the most important places where the population gathers. In the Da Ci'en Temple, there are incense candles and melodious bells. Every morning and evening

During the homework, there was no room in the main hall, so the monks gathered in the square and sat on the floor. The sound of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha came together, and the sound was loud, melodious, steady and thick.

The environment is indeed somewhat strict.

The Caolou Temple at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, where the Taoist "Zhongyuan Dharma Conference" was held, was also crowded with people and full of incense. Not only all the Taoist sects sent people to the scene, but also many wandering Taoist priests came here because of the news.

Taoism has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are only a handful of grand gatherings of this scale... The entire city of Chang'an was abuzz with the Buddhist and Taoist gatherings. As the floating population surged, more and more traders poured into Chang'an, without hesitation.

At the stall, I carried shelves and carried goods in various temples and Taoist temples.

With people wandering around and hawking, security issues naturally become a top priority.

Not only the Jingzhao Mansion and its subordinate Chang'an and Wannian counties have patrolled the Yamen, but the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have also sent officials to sit in these Yamen. In case of cases, they must be judged harshly and quickly to ensure the stability of public security in Chang'an City. Suwei Palace banned

The left and right leading army guards, and the left and right Jinwu guards guarding the capital, were all dispatched. Li Ji sat at Chengtian Gate to command the left and right leading army guards to ensure the safety of Taiji Palace, while Fang Jun set up the military tent under the circular hill outside Mingde Gate.

, control the entire situation in Chang'an, and eliminate all signs of danger in time. Fang Jun's handsome tent was set up under the big tree next to the official road. Since it was a temporary setup, it was just a shed, with banners standing on the left and right.

In Manjuan, groups of well-equipped soldiers stand around and kill majestically.

It was steaming. Groups of dandies came in and out from Mingde Gate to join in the fun. Sometimes they went to Daci'en Temple, and sometimes they rushed to Caolou Temple. After swaggering through the market with brightly dressed and angry horses, they saw the majestic Fang Jun sitting under the handsome tent in the distance.

, expressed one after another

The envy and jealousy in my heart. Speaking of which, some of the elders among these dudes are actually the same age as Fang Jun. However, now Fang Jun has made outstanding achievements and reached the highest level of officialdom. Every word and deed controls the direction of the empire, and they are still there.

Brothel Chu

Hanging out in the halls, living in a muddleheaded way relying on the shadow of their ancestors... Dou Dewei, who was riding on the horse, looked at Fang Jun, who was so majestic under the handsome tent. His lame leg felt a faint throbbing pain, and he gritted his teeth and said

: "It is the way of heaven that everything that flourishes must eventually decline. Since ancient times, which of the powerful officials has had a good end? Let this guy be so arrogant.

How many days will I wait to see the day when he dies without a burial place!" When it comes to his hatred for Fang Jun, Dou Dewei dares to say that he is second, but few dare to say that he is first. Not only was he beaten by Fang Jun at Fangjiawan Pier,

Broken leg, and Fang Jun broke through the Jinguang Gate he was guarding during the Guanlong Mutiny, causing the situation to completely deteriorate. Although Yu Ze, who relied on Empress Taimu, did not lose his life in the subsequent liquidation, he only had to

He retained his title and was dismissed from all official positions. To this day, he is still idle and wandering around with a group of dandy men and women.

Failed to receive reuse.

Every time when my legs hurt in rainy weather, I wish I could chew Fang Jun into pieces and swallow him. Seeing him showing off his power like this, I felt even more jealous and resentful.

The sky has no eyes, how can such a despicable and sinister person steal a high position? Li Chengqian, who blindly trusted him, is also a fool!

All deserve to die!

Yu Sheng on the side could not hide his envy and said a famous saying: "This is what a real man should do!"

To rule the world and live in eight seats is an extremely lofty ambition in the minds of all men. How can we not yearn for it?

Liu Renjing smiled and said: "I thought you would say 'I can take my place', hehe."

He doesn't have a good relationship with Dou Dewei, but he and Yu Sheng have a close friendship. When they went out to play today, they happened to run into Yu Sheng and Dou Dewei, so they had no choice but to go together...

Yu Sheng was startled: "Don't hurt me. If the second roommate hears this, why don't you punish me?"

It’s okay to be envious when you see Fang Jun being a high-ranking official and holding great power, but if you have the intention to replace him, then the nature is completely different. Do you really think that today’s high-ranking and powerful Fang Jun will not fight like in the past?

The original arrogant image of this stick was too cruel, and it still leaves a deep mark on the dandies of the same era to this day, and its residual power still remains...

"Hey! What are those people on the side of the road doing, gathering together and muttering? Come here, let's identify ourselves first and see if they are bandits who are being hunted by the sea."

When a school captain saw a group of dudes gathered together, muttering and pointing at the commander from time to time, he suddenly became suspicious. He scolded and walked over to try to ask. Several people took a bad look at it, especially Dou Dewei and Fang Jun.

Hateful and afraid, fearing that Fang Jun would see him and take advantage of him, he immediately ran away without saying a word. Yu Sheng and Liu Renjing did not want to cause trouble, and followed Dou Dewei towards him.

Riding on horseback towards Zhongnan Mountain.

The other dozen dandies hurriedly followed, and the group of people fled in panic with the sound of hoofbeats. The captain chased for a few steps and saw that he could not catch up. He wanted to turn around and call his companions to ride on horseback to catch up, but after thinking about it, he decided to catch up.

I went back to stand guard and did my duty honestly without causing any trouble. Look at that group of people, all wearing bright clothes and angry horses, with extraordinary momentum.

After all, they are all husbands of powerful families, so it is better not to cause trouble...

...... The Buddhist "Obon Festival" and the Taoist "Zhongyuan Dharma Assembly" collided together, which can be said to be a universal celebration and lively. The entire city of Chang'an was permeated with the joyful atmosphere of the festival. The government offices at all levels were shut down almost at the same time, but

Jingzhaofu

The back hall is still crowded with people, the sound of abacus beads is crackling together, the various temples are being liquidated, and the work of Taoist temple industry is going on in full swing as usual. Ma Zhou is a pragmatic person and has no intention of paying attention to the struggle for power among monks and Taoists.

I just want to sort out the assets of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism as soon as possible. As the autumn harvest is approaching, I will determine the amount of taxes that the two sects should pay and implement it immediately.

Collection.

A scribe came over holding the account book and reported: "Prefect Yin, there is something wrong with this account book."

Ma Zhou took a sip of tea: "What's the problem?"

"This is the account book of Wannian County. It records the fields of Ximing Temple, but many of them are inconsistent with the actual measurements..."

"I don't care about these minutiae and just come to the conclusion." "..." the clerk said cautiously: "Although the land deed is in Ximing Temple, the account book does not record the ins and outs of the land, and there is no delivery document for the land sale, so it should be

I don’t know who dedicated the land to Ximing Temple.

To evade taxes by taking advantage of the temple’s tax-free status.”

Ma Zhou took over the account book and flipped through it: "Are you sure? Oh, thirteen thousand acres? That's a lot of money!" At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the policy of "dividing farmland to each household" was implemented, and every eighteen-year-old male could receive it.

One piece of land is one hundred acres, of which twenty acres are permanent fields, which are permanently owned by individuals and can be passed on to descendants after death.

However, only elm trees, mulberry trees, jujube trees, etc. can be planted. The remaining 80 acres are divided fields. The people who own them belong to the state and continue to plant them while they are alive. After the person dies, the state must take them back and redistribute them.

Thirteen thousand acres is almost the land that one hundred families can allocate. It can be seen that when these lands were dedicated to the temple to evade taxes, more than a hundred families had no land and were actually bankrupt...

The scribe hurriedly said: "There is no doubt that it is true, but it is still unclear who donated the land to Ximing Temple to evade taxes."

"Who cares?" Ma Zhou disagreed, and returned the account book to the scribe, and ordered: "Immediately take people to Wannian County Office, seal up all the documents and contracts of this land, return it to the state, and write a separate document for Ximing Temple

Because of the fact that he hid the land to evade taxes, he will be fined fifty times the tax evaded in these years. In addition, all temples and Taoist temples in Xingwen will not be held responsible if they voluntarily hand over the hidden land and make up for the evaded taxes. Otherwise, they will not be punished.

All will be punished

If you want to borrow money, you will be severely punished and will not lend it!"

"This..." The clerk hesitated for a moment and reminded in a low voice: "It is definitely not an ordinary family that can donate land to Ximing Temple, and it is definitely not an isolated case. There should be many people. If they are punished severely, they will not be punished.

Is it an influence?

Too big?"

Who can annex so much land and dedicate it to a world-famous temple like Ximing Temple? It’s either a noble or a clan, and ordinary officials simply can’t do it.

Once severe punishment is imposed, it will inevitably trigger a large number of people and lead to an uproar. Ma Zhou was displeased: "How to deal with the troubles that come one after another is my duty, and your duty is only to complete the things assigned by me.

, make sure that there are no omissions in every link, so that we can work together as one and enforce the law impartially so that we can live up to His Majesty's trust and live up to the trust of the people. Manage your own affairs well, and you don't need to worry too much about the rest."
