"You bastards, you are all a bunch of bastards who deserve to be killed!"
In the imperial study room, I was so angry that I smashed everything on hand, but even so, I couldn't get rid of the hatred in my heart.
This time, Shuntian Mansion suddenly raided the Mantou Temple, and the turmoil caused caught him off guard.
The middle and lower-level civil servants in various ministries collapsed in one fell swoop.
Even the two third-grade civil servants who are favored today, one of whom is even the Minister of Household Affairs, ended up either resigning or going to jail under strong pressure.
This means that just now they were so complacent, but now they are suppressing the noble group and it is hard to breathe. It feels like they have been hit by a sap, and they are so depressed that they almost vomit blood.
In my heart, I was filled with hatred for the Xungui Group that had launched a counterattack, and I was extremely angry with the civil servants who were implicated in the Mantou An case.
There are quite a few brothels and brothels in the capital. If you have to do something new and exciting, you might end up hooking yourself into one.
At this time, the Emperor's body slowly recovered again. No matter how angry he was, he could only endure it, but he did not dare to fight against the Emperor at this time.
It’s not that he is filial, there is no family affection in the Tian family!
Rather, they were concerned about the military power in the hands of the emperor, so the noble group all sided with the emperor, which meant that most of the military power in Daqing was controlled by the emperor.
Under such circumstances, no one today would dare to make any mistakes, or even bear the reputation of being unfilial.
If it is not done well, some ambitious people can use it as an excuse to stir up trouble and even directly incite some local armies to launch rebellions.
This time, Lian Er, as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, is also firmly remembered today.
"Don't he like to investigate cases? Then let him investigate all the temples, Taoist temples and nunneries in the capital!"
Now he sneered and said angrily: "If there is any omission, I want him to look good!"
…
Lian Er felt a pain in his face as he sent away the eunuch who had come to deliver the current order.
There is no way I can live this day!
The previous inspection of Mantou Temple had caused a big commotion in the house, and the old lady was quite dissatisfied with him.
Fortunately, the problem at Mantou Temple lies with the old nun Jingxu who presides over it, but there is nothing dirty there, and there are also many old nuns who are dedicated to practicing Buddhism.
After Lian Er's lobbying efforts, it was closed for three days and reopened to accept pilgrims. However, almost all the young and beautiful sisters-in-law in the nunnery were dismissed.
In addition, an old lady who is dedicated to practicing Buddhism and is honest and responsible was chosen to be the host.
It was also because of this that Lian Er was not so embarrassed that he did not even dare to enter the mansion.
After all, Mantou Temple is a family temple. If such a big thing happened, it would have a huge impact on the reputation of Rongfu. It is understandable that the old lady cannot accept it.
Even so, Lian Er has no regrets...
With the "credit" of this raid on Mantou An, which involved dozens of civil servants, he finally successfully entered the core circle of the top honorary group, although he was still only on the periphery with little say in the matter.
That's it, he was already quite happy.
At this time, the leader of the top honorary group was Niu Jizong, the head of the Zhenguo Palace, a first-class minister of the Ministry of War, and a member of the cabinet. He privately promised Lian Er that he would be promoted to a third-rank official after the storm.
.
With such gains, as long as no accidents occur within a short period of time, the future will be good.
Things in the house, not only the old lady's dissatisfaction, but also Wang Xifeng's solicitation of lawsuits, also caused him a lot of headaches.
But when he took these things to warn Wang Xifeng, the person next to him still plausibly said that he had the right not to invalidate them after they expired.
He also said proudly that it was the right thing to do in exchange for real money for the favors that he didn't know if he could use in the house.
Lian Er was very angry, but had nothing to say. He took back the famous post that he had left with Wang Xifeng. He was too lazy to care about it.
The second master of the government also jumped out and accused him of acting like this, which not only humiliated the family, but also completely offended the civil servant group.
Lian Er really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He missed the time when Jia Cong was in the house and talked about things incessantly. For example, he was the easiest to deal with the second master Zheng.
In order to prevent Mr. Zheng from being confused, Lian Er had to explain clearly the whole story and the purpose to be achieved, and then he reluctantly convinced Mr. Zheng.
There are a lot of troubles in the mansion, but the situation outside, especially the situation at Shuntian Mansion Office, is quite good.
His authority, which had declined due to the impeachment by the censor, rose again after this action.
In addition, two tribesmen who were admitted as scholars early and entered the Shuntian government office to help, also followed Zhanguang and had further hope.
Although the official position of Zhengjiupin is not big, it can be regarded as a small improvement.
In the same situation, Liu Xianglian's Wucheng Military and Horse Division also cooperated with the Shuntian Fu Yamen operation this time and made some achievements.
It can be said that the situation is bright. Who would want to do something like this in a blink of an eye?
Now we are in big trouble...
The four princes and eight princes' families basically have their own temples. Do you want to check?
The Twelve Marquis Mansion also has good relations with some temples and nunneries outside the city or in the city. Do you want to check?
The influence of Buddhism has penetrated into the homes of the rich and powerful in the capital, and this is no joke.
There are also Taoist temples...
The first one who didn't agree was probably Lord Jing who was 'cultivating immortality' at Xuanzhen Temple outside the city. Lian Er didn't want to get in trouble with him.
In short, today gave him a hot potato...
"If there is anything to worry about, explain the matter clearly to Niu Jizong and ask him to come forward first and ask the Founding Eight Gong family to inspect their family temple!"
Facing the frowning Lian Er, Jia Cong sneered and said: "The Twelve Hou family can also deal with it this way. As long as there is no trouble with the Xungui family, we can check other Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and nunneries, and there will be less trouble."
!”
Lian Er's eyes lit up, then dimmed quickly, and he said with a wry smile: "If this is really the case, it will offend Buddhism quite a lot, and it may not be easy in the future!"
"Then just reject it and say you can't do it!"
Jia Cong didn't take it seriously and said: "There are so many things like this, so there is no need to get too entangled. What if one day we ask you to permanently solve the flood problem in Huanghuai?"
"But if you don't accept it, I'm afraid you will be dismissed from office in a few days!"
Lian Er said unhappily: "I finally climbed to my current position with great difficulty and barely managed to gain a foothold. I don't want to lose it easily!"
"If you want to do something, don't be afraid of offending others!"
Jia Cong sneered: "In your current situation, you are going to fall into trouble!"
"What should we do?"
Lian Er said unhappily: "I said, you want to discuss a solution, not listen to your kid's cynicism!"
Speaking of which, he didn't have any close friends, let alone a trusted advisor to advise him, so he could only fight on his own when encountering problems.
Fortunately, Jia Cong is also very clever and clever. The last incident at Mantou Temple was so smooth, and it was all due to this guy's advance investigation.
Now that you are in trouble again, just leave the two masters alone and continue to seek help from Jia Cong. He won't feel ashamed either.
"Then let's make a big fuss!"
Glancing at Lian Er lightly, Jia Cong said angrily: "As long as things get serious, you, the mere Prime Minister of Shuntian, won't be able to handle it at all. Now you can only hold your nose and take over!"
"What's the fuss about?"
Lian Er was still confused and said: "Now I am just sent to find out if there is any evil in temples, Taoist temples and nunneries!"
"With the precedent of Mantou An, there are problems in other places. I think I will temporarily avoid the limelight. It is easier said than done to find out clearly?"
As he spoke, he looked eagerly at Jia Cong, his eyes full of expectation.
"Stop dreaming!"
Jia Congzhen was a little angry and said angrily: "I won't go out in person anymore. I will investigate each house one by one. Do you think I am a god?"
"What should we do?"
Lian Er looked depressed and lamented: "I'm afraid it's going to be bad this time!"
"Didn't I tell you to make things bigger, such as the hidden house of the temple property? Do you, the Prime Minister of Shuntian, have the qualifications to intervene in such a matter?"
Jia Cong was a little impatient and said angrily: "As long as you can light the fire, the rest of the matter will have nothing to do with you!"
"Are you crazy?"
Lian Er was startled, his face turned violent and he said angrily: "Can something like this be set on fire at will? If one mistake is made, not only will I be destroyed, but the entire Ning Rong Second Mansion and the Jia family will be destroyed!"
After saying that, he stood up angrily and said dissatisfiedly: "Forget it if you don't help, there is no need to be so perfunctory, right?"
"Brother Lian, why are you so angry?"
Jia Cong didn't pay attention to the guy's pretentiousness, and said with a smile: "Since I said it, I will naturally find a way to light the fire. It has nothing to do with you!"
"How to say?"
Lian Er looked overjoyed and hurriedly sat down again and said impatiently: "Let's talk about it, maybe I can come up with some ideas to improve the idea!"
"Have you forgotten that I have another identity?"
Jia Cong grinned, revealing two rows of strong white teeth, and said with a smile: "Many readers are very dissatisfied because of the delay in publishing a new book!"
"You mean, write?"
Lian Er came to his senses, shook his head and said, "Are you crazy? If you write something too explicit, you may get burned!"
"Hey, Brother Lian doesn't need to worry about this!"
Jia Cong smiled maliciously and said leisurely: "Anyway, people will never notice anything strange, they will only think it is a normal plot!"
"Then what story are you planning to write?"
Lian Er curled his lips and said: "It won't be like the best farm, where it will write about how a Buddhist temple came from scratch and then developed into one of the holy places of Buddhism!"
"There really are such traces!"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Lian is already very familiar with my routines!"
"nonsense!"
Lian Er curled his lips and said: "I have read everything you wrote, and naturally I have some experience. However, what you wrote is a bit too obvious, and there are still some risks!"
"Then I don't care, it doesn't matter whether I write it or not!"
"No, no, no, no, brother, I'm just reminding you to be careful. By the way, what's your name?"
