Kongpu and Wei Shifang were born to use rafts for people. Who made them greedy and swallowed elephants? They colluded with minor officials from the eunuchs and ministers to weave miracles and illusions, and covered them with the heads of the Palace of Eternal Life.

Yes, what they like is that the Empress Dowager is responsible for the whole world, and the cost required is not limited. In addition, people are easy to fool, so it is only a matter of money to be able to make.

Moreover, in the past two years, I have been doing well and I have paid a lot of money. But this year, the passing years are not good, and Wu Sansi's bastard actually attracted the Grand Marshal and made them so fool.

In a fit of anger, Empress Wu issued an imperial edict at that time, ordering the warriors guarding the Hall of Eternity to behead the two of them and the disciples they brought, and teleport to the temples and Taoist temples in Guanzhong, Hanoi.

Emperor Li Chongrun also took advantage of this trend and announced in the court that, with the Ministry of Revenue and the Honglu Temple as the main force, it would increase the control of temples, Taoist temples and other sects, and to send more officials, set up officials to divide the monks and Taoist temples in each state, and to take back all the land of temples and Taoist temples.

The emperor's actions were like a thunder sound in the dry weather, and the officials in the class whispered and discussed it. In the past, there were cases of religions such as banning Buddhism and Taoism, but in the end they all returned without success.

The fundamental reason for its failure is that the sects of monks and Taoists do not have to pay taxes, do not have to serve in military service, work hard, occupy a large number of fertile land, enjoy the worship of the people, and become a living immortal.

Taking Buddhism as an example, during the confrontation between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, not only did it have hundreds of temples, but its number of monks reached 100,000 and a million believers. For the country, this not only shook the foundation of ruling, but also stole a large amount of wealth.

The emperor's move directly cut off their involvement in the land, weakening their way of making money. It also restricted their way to expand the dojo, which was a trick to make a fortune.

More importantly, monks and Taoist sects never gave up infiltration of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong died suddenly because he took the elixir of the demon monk. Emperor Gaozong and Empress Dowager Taizong also suffered from the expiration of their period.

"Everyone, my dear, my meaning is very simple. It is not to exterminate religion, but to those who are obsessed with the interests of the court and the people who use religion as a guise."

"I am different from Emperor Taizong, Emperor Gaozong, and other monarchs who sit in court. I do not seek immortality, nor do I seek protection from gods and Buddhas. If I take medicine when I am sick, I will live for a hundred years, which is enough."

"The only thing they can do here is to honestly persuade people to be kind, point to incense and money, and live a peaceful life. Otherwise, the millions of troops under my command would not be vegetarians."

Li Chongrun said this very clearly. The king who sat in court gave away the throne and empire, so these demon monks were capable. But he didn't believe in this set of sayings, and the gods and ghosts would not let them practice any elixir of immortality.

If they are willing to accept supervision from the court, they will educate the people for the court. If they are not willing, then that's fine. He has some soldiers in his hands. If anyone is impatient to live, he can try it. Anyway, the spear is in his hands.

"The evil nun-Kongpu and Wei Shifang, a native of Songshan, were deceived by demons. They acted viciously, but their hearts were unfaithful."

"Such people, let themselves go, poison the people sooner or later, and harm the world. I will discuss with you, add officials, confiscate land,"

The Shangshu's right servant Du Shenyan looked solemn, holding the tablet and yelling to discuss the emperor's decision. Some officials who were dissatisfied with gods and ghosts also went out to discuss with Du Xiang's statement.

The taxes of the court were all earned by the people with one drop of sweat and smashed eight pieces on the ground. The wealth of the inner palace was also the product of the royal family and the private property of the royal family.

It is not used for national economy and people's livelihood, but instead it is cheaper for these people who pretend to be gods. Why? Just by their mouths, they can say fancy things? It's my uncle.

However, the Secretary Zuo Pushe-Tang Xiujing, Shizhong-Yao Tao, Minister of Personnel Li Jiao and others who should have expressed their opinions were silent and seemed quite taboo. This is not to say that they have two hearts with the emperor, nor do they have any private transactions with religion.

Instead, I am worried that religion has different ways of bewitching people's hearts. If it arouses civil war and causes shock to the world, it is like the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The gains are not worth the loss compared to paying the price, and it seems that the loss is too big.

There is no problem with restrictions, but there must be a moderation. They will suddenly eliminate the land they built temples and the regulations on restricting the rules. The emperor is still young and has a long life in the future. Don’t be rushing to argue with those charlatans, just do it little by little.

Li Chongrun also saw the silence of the ministers. He knew very well that these ministers had been officials or nobles and meritorious officials for many years. They had their own sets of officials and work.

Li Chongrun just took power and his prestige had not yet been established. In the eyes of his ministers, his risky behavior was just a child setting up a dragon gate formation. These guys who dared to be stubborn with the three assistant ministers of the Taiwei, naturally would not express their opinions easily.

No one handed over the steps, please find the steps yourself! Just as Li Chongrun was about to speak, a few coughs sounded in Hanyuan Palace, and Qin Rui walked out of the class with his sleeves in his arms.

"All the kings under the heavens are kings, and all the kings are kings and ministers in the shores; Your Majesty is the emperor, and he holds the destiny of heaven. As ministers, our duty is to check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps and share worries for the master."

"Is it enough if you don't speak?" After a heavy snorkeling, Qin Rui turned around and bowed to Li Chongrun.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, officials have forced the people to rebel, but have been too much coercion..."

The land of ploughers will be the only one who has the land. As long as the policy of ensuring the land is maintained and the problems between narrow and broad villages are alleviated, the people will naturally not risk being beheaded and oppose the court.

All religions in the world occupy countless lands, and the court has never received a single tax. Those are all high-quality fertile land, but their role is no different from wild land.

Instead of letting them rent them out and continue to exploit the people, and sucking bones and marrow, it is better to give them to the people and let them plant them.

"Dear colleagues, don't underestimate acre of three-point land, that's the hope of the family."

"Can farming for religion be the same as planting for one's own family? What the court has harvested is not only a new tax, but also a heart of the people."

"Emperor Taizong said that water can carry a boat and can also overturn it, and the people cannot offend it. However, the two powers will take the least harm, and the court can only choose to offend those people."

Qin Rui's attitude played a crucial role in today's court discussion. With his years of prestige in the court, he forced the emperor to make the decision.

Seeing that the ministers took the majesty of the Taiwei, they dared not say much. Li Chongrun smiled slightly, with the Minister of Revenue Cen Yi as the main secretary, and the Minister of the Honglu Temple Xue Tong as the deputy, and began to rectify the rectification.
