For the first time, Xu Xian felt that Chai Rong was a good emperor who cared about his ministers. He would allocate the deposit and loan business of Xiangguo Temple to him. This was like a white wolf picking up a mature and good business with nothing.

Chai Rong should not be able to see the benefits but just disdain it. As he said, when you are an emperor, you should behave like an emperor.

While Xu Xian was silently praising Chai Rong in his heart, most people in Kaifeng City were scolding him, from the streets to the court.

The common people cursed people very literally, and just saying "dog emperor" was enough to vent all the resentment in their hearts. Officials not only cursed people, but also accused the emperor of crimes.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than alarmist remarks such as the emperor has lost the support of the people and the country will be ruined. There was a censor named Li at the censor's desk who directly criticized Chai Rong and compared him to the tyrant Jie and Zhou. He was thrown out of the court and still looked good.

He won praise from the whole court for saying "Swear to fight evil forever".

In the face of criticism, Chai Rong neither refuted nor corrected but went even further. The next day, he formally issued an edict to carry out a systematic campaign to exterminate Buddhism in the Zhou Dynasty.

During the Great Zhou Dynasty, only one temple could be left in each county, and the rest would be demolished, all temple finances confiscated, and all personnel dismissed. No one was allowed to build temples unless ordered by the emperor.

If you want to become a monk, you must be fifteen for men and thirteen for women. You must recite seventy to one hundred pages of Buddhist scriptures in public before you can apply. You must obtain the consent of your parents and the government.

In order to implement the policy of destroying Buddhism, Chai Rong sent many angels to lead the soldiers of the front department to go to various places to supervise the implementation, and by the way, they escorted the property looted from the temple back to Beijing.

Compared with the past when Shi Chonggui sent thirty-six troops to search for people's wealth, Emperor Chai Rong's campaign to exterminate Buddhism was actually just as brutal. There were many staunch martyrs among the monks and nuns, but the results were opposite in terms of the national economy and people's livelihood.

Xu Xian broke his toe because he kicked the Buddha statue, so he did not get any benefits from the business trip. He could not sit still at home because he had offended his wife, sister, mother-in-law and most of the women in Liuhewan.

Fortunately again, they believed in the Buddha and did not carry out cruel revenge or inhuman torture on Xu Xian, who had handicap on his legs and feet. They just ignored him or made fun of him with words.

Didn't he just come out of the house and bump into Aunt Liu? Seeing Xu Xian limping out of the yard, Aunt Liu said sadly: "Da Lang, Da Lang, why do you want to provoke the Buddha? Look at now

You must have received retribution for your broken leg."

"Aunt Liu! You are mistaken. My leg was not broken, but my big toe was broken. It was not retribution, it was just kicked on the Buddha statue that broke it."

"Did it break immediately after being kicked on the Buddha statue?"

Xu Xian nodded, "Yes, the Buddha statue broke immediately after being kicked!"

"It's so effective and you still say it's not retribution! If you teach Brother Huan a good life in the future, maybe the Buddha will forgive you."

Hearing Aunt Liu mention Brother Huan Xu Xian, she couldn't help but feel dizzy. She turned around and looked at the handsome young man next to her who was wearing a green suit and a little hat and said, "Brother Huan, let's go."

When the boy heard this, he immediately held Xu Xian's arm and said, "Okay, Alang!"

This boy didn't just come out of the ground for nothing. He was the little novice monk who was given to Xu Xian by the abbot of Xiangguo Temple that day. Xu Xian asked Da Kui to be sent to Changle Building to give it to Aunt Liu. Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu changed hands after raising her at home for a day.

Brought to Xu's house.

Zhao Ningxiu thought that Xu Xian was guilty of serious crimes, and the little novice monk was so handsome and cute that he actually planned to adopt him. Yes, Zhao Ningxiu, who had just turned nineteen, was planning to adopt the ten-year-old novice monk as his son. This was actually a very common thing in the fifth generation, but Xu Xian

But he couldn't accept the blow of Xi being a father, so he accepted him as a servant and named him Brother Huan.

I don’t know if she is trying to atone for Xu Xian’s sins, or if she truly loves Brother Huan. Zhao Ningxiu seems to really raise him as a son. She not only takes care of him with good food and clothes, but also allows him to go to school.

After leaving Liuhewan, Xu Xian ordered a plate of steamed buns and two bowls of rice porridge from a breakfast shop near Zhouqiao. At this time, steamed buns were not yet called steamed buns but called "sour noodles". They had just taken shape in the Five Dynasties and were very popular among diners.

Brother Huan was reluctant to take his mouth off when he looked at the fragrant minced meat. Xu Xian knew that he still abided by the temple's precepts and had been a vegetarian in the Xu family these days.

"Try it, you have to eat it morning and night. This bite will give you a feeling you have never had before."

Brother Huan was stunned for a long time. He seemed to have just made up his mind and took a big bite. Looking at his stunned look, Xu Xian joked: "What's wrong? Did he swallow his tongue?"

"vomit……"

Unexpectedly, Brother Huan turned around and vomited on the ground. He retched non-stop. Xu Xian patted his shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. You're used to vomiting. Guys, bring me two more sesame cakes. Don't put any meat in them."

oily."

A salesman next to him came over and said with a smile: "Lang Jun's boy just came out of the temple."

"That's right, this little guy of mine came from the temple. Didn't you notice that his hair hasn't grown yet? There's no meat in his food."

The salesman said with admiration: "Mr. Lang takes in Buddhist disciples and takes good care of them. He must be a man who is devoted to Buddhism. I have a good thing here to recommend to Mr. Lang. Use it to make you feel refreshed!"

As the salesman said this, he took out a piece of paper from the load, and saw that it was a little man cut out of yellow paper. There was nothing surprising about it.

Xu Xian asked strangely: "What is this?"

"It's reversed!" The salesman quickly turned the little paper man over and saw three small characters "Xu Mou" written on it.

Seeing Xu Xian's puzzled face, the salesman quickly explained softly: "The tyrant is cruel to Buddhism without justice, and it is said that Mr. Xu is the biggest accomplice of the executioner. Lang Jun only needs to take this paper man to his home, and he will do it every morning after getting up.

Every now and then, he would hit him three times with the sole of his shoe, just like hitting the executioner.

To be honest with you, I have sold more than a thousand of them, and I heard that they have been effective. Now Mr. Xu can’t get out of bed with both legs. Why don’t you buy one for only a penny and wait for Mr. Xu?

The man is dead, and Lang Jun has no place to exert his energy if he wants to vent his anger."

Seeing that Xu Xian looked unhappy, the salesman took out something from the pick. It was a stuffed doll sewn from rags. It had no eyebrows and ears, small eyes and a big mouth. It was a bit uglier than Zhang Buer.

"If you don't like the gentleman just now, you can take a look at this one. This one only costs ten cents. If you buy it now, you will get ten silver needles for free. Wherever the gentleman sticks it, Mr. Xu will feel pain!"

Brother Huan had already buried his face on the table, his shoulders kept shaking, and he chuckled from time to time.

The salesman ignored Xu Xian's dark face and continued to persuade: "Seeing that the little master is so happy, I can give it to him even if he doesn't need it, so just buy one..."
