Of course, the country of the Han Dynasty has not been stable for a long time. Although Liu Chengyou is determined, he is not willing to cause greater turmoil. After thinking about it, he ordered Feng Dao: "Pass the imperial edict to all the Daozhou festivals and observe. Defense, regiment training, governorship, strengthen the management and control of the administrative environment, ensure that the Buddhist temples are in order and are implemented according to regulations. If the monks and nuns have evil intentions exposed, the people do not understand right and wrong, and gather all living beings to cause chaos, we will immediately suppress them and strictly enforce the national laws!"
There was so much cruelty in Liu Chengyou's words that the few ministers in the palace could not help but feel chills in their bodies when they heard it. With this edict from the emperor, there will inevitably be more bleeding among the people.
Liu Chengyou was also helpless. He was resolute and vowed to go all the way to destroy the Buddha and eliminate all its disadvantages. Although this edict seems cruel, it is the lesser of two evils. Only the toughest attitude and the most severe means can be used. , only then can we frighten the foolish people from all over the world.
Accidents may be unavoidable. Liu Chengyou's intention was to control them to the minimum intensity. In this way, he also wanted to avoid more bloodshed.
After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou said: "Over there in Hedong, the rectification work has been done well. The emperor's uncle, Wang Jingchong and Yang Ye did not disappoint me after all. They issued an edict to commend and inform the world, so that the other towns and officials will follow suit!"
"Yes!" Feng Dao responded, his eyebrows dancing with joy. After all, Yang Ye was his grandson-in-law.
Mentioning the incident in Hedong and thinking of his beloved general, Liu Chengyou's expression became calm and he said: "The chaos in Guoxian County was decided by Yang Ye in one day. He acted decisively and handled it appropriately, which deeply impressed me. Feng Qing felt that I How should I reward you?"
"This..." Although he was happy for his grandson-in-law, Feng Dao, who had always been cautious, glanced at the emperor subconsciously: "Your Majesty, the relationship between Yang Ye and the old minister is really inconvenient for the old minister to talk about this matter. "

"Hey..." Liu Chengyou seemed to be very interested. He raised his hands and said with sleeves: "The ancients said that you should not avoid relatives when doing internal affairs. I am in charge of military affairs and have always made clear rewards and punishments. There is no way to avoid anyone who is right. , since Yang Ye has made meritorious service, he deserves to be rewarded. I will not reward Feng Qing, he is upright and has no sense of favoritism!"
Even after hearing what the emperor said, Mr. Feng still shook his head, unwilling to follow the truth. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but smile: "In this case, I have to force Mr. Feng. Well... with the two words of Yang Ye With the achievements accumulated over the years, we will restore Dai Prefecture as a defensive prefecture and use Yang Ye as the defensive envoy!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!" He wanted to show his kindness, but Feng Dao unexpectedly expressed his objection.
Facing the emperor's scrutinizing gaze, Feng Dao clasped his hands and explained: "Yang Ye is young after all, and his qualifications and abilities are insufficient. He is already a young man in a regiment training in a state, and he is defending a state. I know that your majesty loves Yang Ye and appreciates him. He expressed his gratitude and loyalty to His Majesty. However, the old minister believed that promoting him too quickly would be like pulling out the seedlings, which would not be a good thing for Yang Ye. It would be better to let him hone himself more in the border county to encourage his ability, which will be convenient for him in the future. I will better serve His Majesty and the imperial court with all my loyalty..."
Listening to Feng Dao's discussion, Liu Chengyou felt that it was rare. It was probably only when it came to matters involving people close to him that the old fox would work so hard.
I appreciate Feng Dao's caring heart and consider that his thinking does make sense. In the Chinese and foreign military systems of the Han Dynasty, Yang Ye's age has indeed risen a bit too quickly. Although Liu Chengyou likes to use young people to promote young talents, he also needs To abide by the Basic Law, Yang Ye must lay more foundations.
Having made up his mind, Liu Chengyou followed his advice and said directly: "Feng Qing's consideration is very reasonable. However, meritorious service must be rewarded. If Yang Ye is in trouble in Guo County, let him be promoted to the title of Marquis of Guo. He will live in a town of 500 households and be granted a real title." One hundred households will be rewarded with twenty pieces of silk and one hundred thousand dollars. Well...give his wife a fifth-grade imperial edict!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Feng Dao directly thanked his descendants.
"I heard that Yang Yexin has a new son, so congratulations!" The atmosphere in the palace became a little strange, and Liu Chengyou actually started a family affair with Feng Dao.
Feng Dao could only follow the rules randomly and replied: "Exactly! The former Fan Daizhou sent a letter to announce the good news, and the old minister named him Yanzhao..."
"Yang Yanzhao?" Liu Chengyou couldn't help laughing: "Very good!"
He was thinking to himself, is Yang Liulang turning into Yang Dalang? With a flash of eyes, he looked at Feng Dao and Liu Chengyou said: "Your granddaughter has been with Yang Ye for nearly two years. My grandson and grandpa cannot see each other thousands of miles apart. I don't expect that." I miss you very much. In this way, I will give your family another grace. When the situation in the Xindai area stabilizes, Yang Ye and his wife can return to Tokyo to visit the family!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Dao thanked him immediately, looking moved.
Xue Ju was watching the monarch and his ministers questioning each other, and silently recorded in his mind that he had outstanding literary talent, and was also responsible for compiling the "History of the Country". He also collected anecdotes about the affairs of the current dynasty. What happened in the palace today will be published in the future. Yang Ye may be briefly described as a supplement. The emperor loved Yang Ye especially!
At the same time, he also admired the emperor's ability to win over people's hearts. From Xue Juzheng's point of view, the main purpose was to summon Yang Ye back to Beijing and listen to his report on his duties. But from Liu Chengyou's mouth, it became the emperor's sympathizing favor for his ministers... ..And Feng Dao and Yang Ye really have to express their gratitude.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will resign now!" After briefly asking about some government affairs, Feng Dao and Feng Dao took the initiative to resign.
He didn't stay long and allowed him to retreat. He once again crouched alone at the imperial desk and ordered someone to spread out a piece of white paper. Liu Chengyou picked up a pen and wrote the word "Buddha". He stared at it and saw where he came from. His expression returned to seriousness and he thought seriously for a long time. , holding a red pen, he drew a line, which penetrated the back of the paper.
"Come here, please send a message to Fan Zhi, the Minister of Public Affairs, to King Pu!" After pondering for a long time, Liu Chengyou ordered someone to pass on the order.
Soon, Fan and Wang met in front of the palace.
Liu Chengyou was very straightforward and expressed his true feelings: "There is no one else in the palace. You two are my loyal ministers. I will say it bluntly. This time I destroyed the Buddha, not to destroy the Buddhism sect, but because I hid the population, occupied the land, and accumulated wealth." , has long since become a malady, which is actually detrimental to the imperial rule and the restoration of the national strength of the Han Dynasty."
"Nowadays, the extermination of Buddhism at home and abroad has reached a certain level. However, the influence of Buddhism on the people is really not small. The common people everywhere have been deceived and caused chaos, which has happened repeatedly recently. At this point, it is time to consider the ending!"
Fan Zhi and Wang Pu looked at each other, and Fan Zhi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise! Please give me your instructions!"
The two of them had already had this intention, but they had not been able to figure out the emperor's thoughts before and did not dare to give advice casually.
"Buddhism helps the world and encourages good deeds, and its benefits are very great. Previously, it was corrupt and there was no legal prohibition. It was necessary to distinguish whether the teachings were going to be long. After this incident, the banner of 'update the old rules and reform the previous evils' still cannot be put down. For
Temples all over the world must still not let things go unchecked. They must be restrained by regulations to prevent them from reverting to their old ways over time. You go back, gather your staff, and brainstorm a system to standardize it and make it a permanent system!"
Both of them were talented people. They easily discerned the holy will and responded in unison: "Yes!"
