Chapter 1388 Two major events

"My minister, Dou Huaizhen pays homage to Your Majesty."

Dou Huaizhen, who was bearded, was obviously a little excited, 'Your Majesty finally remembers me.'

Because of fame and because of Shark's wife jumped into the boat, Dou Huaizhen has always been synonymous with infamousity.

After Wang Xiao took office, he never thought about how to arrange him. After all, whether he was arranging to go to a place or arranging him in the court, it would cause a fierce reaction.

Now I finally found the right thing for him to do.

"You are not eating yet, come and come together."

Wang Xiao warmly entertained Dou Huaizhen and asked Gao Lishi to add two dishes.

Drinking wine and eating vegetables, plus Wang Xiao's smile.

All of this made Dou Huaizhen feel excited because this was a sign that the emperor was about to reuse himself. It seemed that his dream of becoming the prime minister was about to come true.

For Dou Huaizhen, who was from a prominent family and had a wealthy family, he really lacked nothing, but only lacked the dream of realizing his dream of becoming a prime minister.

A meal brought into the relationship between the king and the minister. Dou Huaizhen, who was obviously drunk, even patted his chest and said, "Whenever your Majesty gives instructions, I will devote my whole life to the death."

"very good."

Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said to him, "Your beloved is really my loyal minister. I happen to have a very difficult thing here, which requires a capable and loyal minister to do. I wonder if you are willing to take on this burden?"

Dou Huaizhen was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and saluted Wang Xiao, patted his chest and said, "I will never refuse!"

"good."

Wang Xiao slapped the case on the table, "Since that's the case, I will appoint my beloved as the censor to investigate illegal matters such as the royal family's invasion of civilian fields! I hope my beloved will not fear power and arrest all these borers."

Dou Huaizhen’(っ°Д°;)っ’

‘Sorry, Your Majesty, I didn’t understand. Can you say it again?’

He sobered up, but his head became even more dizzy.

Looking at Wang Xiao's smile, Dou Huaizhen finally realized that she was being tricked by Wang Xiao.

I said so much before, but it was too late to regret it at this time.

Not to mention offending the emperor, I will just be deceiving the emperor's reputation. With his current reputation as a scattered street, countless people will definitely come up and step on him.

But this kind of thing offends all the royal family and nobles.

Who dares to offend so many big shots at once?

Wang Xiao looked at his changing expression and said leisurely, "It seems that my dear is not as loyal as he said. But a mere trivial matter makes you dare not do it. Then what more important thing can I expect you to do?"

Dou Huaizhen smiled bitterly.

What a trivial matter here, this is an amazing big thing!

The royal family and nobles occupied the land, which has existed since ancient times. Very few people were truly punished because their identities were extraordinary.

As soon as the news spread, Dou Huaizhen immediately became a thorn in the eyes of the royal nobles.

But Wang Xiao’s explicit hints made him really moved.

You should know that under normal circumstances, Dou Huaizhen's reputation has long been over, and it is almost impossible to have a chance to make a comeback.

Now the opportunity given by Wang Xiao is almost the only possibility for him to make a comeback.

After careful consideration, Dou Huaizhen's expression changed, and he bowed to Wang Xiao with a solemn face and said, "I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!"

His idea was to bring two typical examples out and do it, and he could explain the past in all aspects.

This little thought can naturally be hidden from Wang Xiao, but Wang Xiao did not expose him immediately.

It was not until the grand dynasty meeting that Wang Xiao could see the truth.

After the dynasty appointed Dou Huaizhen as the censor, Wang Xiao said in front of many officials and nobles.

"The people of the Tang Dynasty have no land to separate. The root cause is land annexation. The nobles and royal families, the landlords and temples ignore the court's laws and do evil deeds. This time, Dou Aiqing will be the subject of the investigation. No matter who is involved, no matter what the status and title are, as long as there is something illegal, they will never tolerate it!"

"I would like to advise you here, if there is any illegal matter in any family, go to Dou Aiqing as soon as possible to explain the matter clearly, and return all those who should be returned. In this way, you will have the qualifications to continue standing on this hall in the future."

"Dou Aiqing has already issued a military order to me, and even if it is broken, it will be necessary to implement all these things to the end. I hereby give you a Shangfang sword to me. No matter who dares to block this matter, I can use this sword to kill me first and then report it!"

Wang Xiao looked at Dou Huaizhen with a friendly look on his face, "My dear, I admire your determination. I also believe that you will definitely investigate the land occupation of the royal family. Whoever dares to secretly silence you, I will use his entire clan to bury you! You can go with confidence."

Gao Lishi walked to Dou Huaizhen with a sword, and then handed it to him respectfully.

Dou Huaizhen took Shangfang's sword with trembling hands, and his voice was choked, "Thank you, my minister, thank you Your Majesty."

In the eyes of others, this is a beautiful scene of the loyalty of the king, relatives and ministers.

But in Dou Huaizhen's heart, he wanted to throw Shangfang sword on the ground and shout, "You cheat me~"

However, he couldn't shout it out because he had been roasted on the fire.

At this time, I can't get off even if I want to get off, so I can only fall directly into the fire if I force it down.

That was the entire Tang Dynasty royal family and nobles, and there were also those noble families.

Although they have suffered continuous blows over the years, these people are still powerful. Dou Huaizhen will feel numb when he snatches meat from their mouths.

Wang Xiao didn't care what Dou Huaizhen thought. After he arranged the matter, he began to pay attention to Yao Chong.

Yao Chong summoned the hosts of large temples all over the world through the great monks to come to Chang'an City to discuss the future of Buddhism.

This topic is very big, and these hosts have to come.

The reason why not all the temple hosts came is because at this time there were tens of thousands of temples everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not have the ability to mobilize all the presiders to come.

These temples are basically local high-interested masters, with hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of land.

If you don’t attack them, the people of the Tang Dynasty will really not be able to survive.

So many great monks entered the palace, even in the Wuzhou period, when they worshipped Buddhism the most.

Linde Hall was filled with bald heads, and at first glance, there were shiny tiles everywhere.

With Gao Lishi's voice, "Your Majesty arrives~"

Many hosts wearing luxurious robes with golden threads saluted to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao, wearing a formal dragon robe, sat on the chair without saying a word.

Then, Gao Lishi announced in the unique voice of the eunuchs that "all matters this time are subject to the responsibility of the Secretary of the Central Committee. You should obey Yao Chong. If you do not follow the orders of Yao Qing, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

After Gao Lishi finished speaking, Wang Xiao got up and left, handing over the place to Yao Chong.

When Wang Xiao left, the hall was in an uproar. Many bald men rushed to Yao Chong, croaking in his ears like hundreds of ducks.

When Wang Xiao arrived at the side hall, he held a teacup and listened to the movement there.

He is not good at doing this kind of thing himself, because monks can write stories to splash dirty water, so the main work of the swordsman is handed over to Yao Chong.

The quarrels there were very fierce, and Buddha's chants with various accents continued.

Sometimes there are shouts of shouting, "Aren't you afraid of going to Avici Hell?"

Yao Chong didn't feel angry. Even though he was photographed by hundreds of bald heads, even if he was swallowed by countless saliva, he was still talking slowly.

However, although he spoke softly, his attitude was very firm.

The first thing is to require them to repair their high-interest business. They can get loans, but the interest must not exceed the scope of the court's regulations. Otherwise, they will be dealt with by the Tang Dynasty's laws.

This is naturally unacceptable to the great monks.

They can not only make a lot of profits through high interest rates, but also need collateral when lending money to the people.

Usually it is the land of the people, and there are houses and even wives and daughters as collateral.

Among them, land is especially important. The more land you have, the more you produce, the more you earn.

When the people lost their fields, they appeared with compassionate faces and took in the people as serfs and tenants. This is the most profitable industry in this era.

Moreover, many monks in the Tang Dynasty had a look of turbidity, which was so turbid.

If this gives the people the opportunity to afford profits, how can they annex the land and teach the female believers in person?

Facing the many great monks who spoke fragrant and fiercely, Yao Chong was unmoved, so he slowly talked about the second thing.

"Check the temple property!"

The Tang Dynasty actually had very strict supervision of temples. There were strict regulations on how much land the temple could have to support monks. Basically, it was formulated according to the number of certificates that the temple had.

Anything that is extra will definitely not be recognized and will be confiscated.

Once strictly investigated, even the certificates issued will be taken back.

Without the certificate of vassal, he would not be a monk recognized by the Tang Dynasty.

Taxes immediately caught up, and they were not allowed to beg for alms, and they were not allowed to accept the incense money given by believers.

Once the Dharma is preached, you will be arrested.

Therefore, the certificate of sacrificial decree is the life gate of the monks in the Tang Dynasty.

Compared to the previous restrictions on high interest rates, checking the land would cost Buddhism even more.

After so many years of peace in the Tang Dynasty, temples everywhere have been through various means, mainly high-interest persecution and the land donated by believers, which is simply uncountable.

In this era of low productivity and low technology, land is the foundation of everything.

Which temple does not have a large amount of land that exceeds the imperial court’s regulations? If it is really investigated, it will all be taken away.

If the previous restrictions on high interest rates were to dig their bones, then now the land inventory is to dig out your heart and soul!

"Why not?"

Yao Chongwei frowned and said, "It is natural for the court to investigate the land in the world. You have obstructed it in every way. Is there something that cannot be told?"
