Xuan Shijing's words fell, which was tantamount to throwing a huge explosive bag in the Taiji Palace, and in an instant, the courtiers in the hall blew up the pot, and the discussion became louder and louder.

They all felt that Xuan Shijing was definitely a madman, and yesterday was just a dispute with Fahua Temple, which was not a big deal, but when Xuanzang returned to Chang'an, he was pushed to the forefront, but Xuan Shijing was an official of the imperial court, and the marquis of the Tang Dynasty did not harm him except for being criticized a little.

As a result, until now, Dongshan Hou actually wants to target the entire Buddhist sect!

When the people of Yushitai heard Xuan Shijing speak like this, they also stood on the spot.

"Xuanhou, what do you mean by that?" The imperial history asked.

As soon as Yu Shi spoke, the court also quieted down, waiting for Xuan Shijing to speak and see what this Hou Ye wanted to do.

"Isn't it because Ben Hou had a dispute with the monk of Fahua Temple on Ben Hou's Zhuangzi yesterday, and today the imperial history master has involved so many crimes in Ben Hou, since this is the case, then it will be solved from yesterday's matter." Xuan Shijing smiled, and then clapped his hands.

Immediately, a small yellow door outside the store walked into the hall holding the things handed over to him by Xuan Shijing, bowed down, and stood beside Xuan Shijing.

"Now Benhou's reputation in Chang'an City is also notorious, and the monks who want to come to Fahua Temple have not arranged Benhou after returning to Chang'an City. Hyun Shijing smiled.

Then, Xuan Shijing arched his hand to His Majesty Li Er, who was at the top: "Your Majesty, there are a few account books here, which are the account books of Jinyiwei's investigation of the income, fields, number of people in the temple, and the number of properties under the name of the temple in Chang'an City. ”

"Bring it in." His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice.

The little yellow door beside Xuan Shijing walked to the side of His Majesty Li Er, handed over everything to Deyi, and Deyi took a cursory glance, and then put it on the bookcase in front of His Majesty Li Er.

Xuan Shijing took out the account book, which shocked many ministers in the court, and the actions of the Shenhou Mansion were even faster and more ruthless than that of Fahua Temple.

It's just that they don't know that the matter of the Buddhist temple was already noticed by Xuan Shijing when Xuanzang came back to make a fuss in Chang'an City, but between Xuan Shijing and them, the well water has always been not the river water, Jinyang has this curiosity, and Xuan Shijing also went to her, and it took a lot of effort to find out these things, not what the courtiers imagined, and found out within a day.

His Majesty Li Er casually opened an account book and took a cursory look at the things recorded in it, but his originally breezy expression became more and more serious, and the speed of flipping through it became slower and slower.

"What is recorded in this, but the facts?" His Majesty Li Er asked.

"Exactly." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said: "This is the data reported back after Jinyiwei's personal visit, Your Majesty can see the strangeness?" ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded, and then asked the courtiers, "Is there anything important to report today?" ”

The sudden change of topic made the courtiers look at each other, or the officials of the Ministry of Rites stood up.

"Your Majesty, as the New Year approaches, letters from all over the world have been delivered to Chang'an, and the envoys are already on the way......"

"When people arrive, they will directly arrange to enter Honglu Temple, and wait until the envoys arrive in Chang'an to bring it to the court." His Majesty Li Er interrupted the words of the Ministry of Rites: "If there is nothing else, this morning dynasty will end here, the eldest grandson Wuji, Ma Zhou, Chu Suiliang, Fang Xuanling, and Xuan Shijing will go to the Ganlu Hall with me to discuss matters and retire from the court." ”

"No." The ministers in the Taiji Hall responded with their hands.

The morning dynasty ended in a hurry, and it has a great relationship with what Xuan Shijing handed over, which can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

And in the court, Xuan Shijing also said that it was an account book about the temple's property, could it be that the property in the temple, what else could it be like?

Most of the officials and nobles will not care about these, how many temple sesame oil money will be charged?

It's just that they don't know that although the people who worship the Buddha statues in the temple are not rich and noble families, but under the accumulation of a small amount, the accumulated wealth is amazing, plus the rich and noble families in Chang'an City, they will mold the Buddha statue with gold at every turn.

Rich people pay, and those who don't have money want to pay, but if they don't have money, they can only give land......

This is what kind of height you have to reach in your belief in Buddhism to be able to do such a thing.

The land is the source of the people's survival, and if they give the land they live on to the temple, what will they do to support their families in the future?

And for these, the temple has always refused to ask those who come, just like someone wants to become a monk, those who come do not refuse, ignoring the documents of the government.

Xuan Shijing's twists and turns analyzed these things in an orderly manner, so after His Majesty Li Er saw it, the shock and complexity in his heart were unclear.

I knew that there was no shortage of money in Buddhist temples, but I didn't know that Buddhist temples would not lack money to this point.

Today, the officials of the early court went back very early, and when they left the Taiji Palace, Xuan Shijing and the courtiers whose names His Majesty Li Er had named walked towards the Ganlu Palace.

"Xuanhou, what are the things recorded in the account book you submitted to, why did Your Majesty not even go to the early court and retreat directly after reading it?" On the way to the Ganlu Temple, Ma Zhou asked.

Ma Zhou asked, and several bigwigs in the same company looked at Xuan Shijing at the same time.

"I said it in the Taiji Palace, it is the account books of some Buddhist temples in Chang'an City, including the property of the treasury in this Buddhist temple, the fields and shops under the name, and the number of monks in the temple, but this amount is unexpected." Xuan Shijing explained: "Didn't a few adults notice it? Chang'an City has not had more monks in recent years, it is usually better to say something, after all, no one will be idle to count how many monks there are in the temple, but these two months are different. ”

"Different? Also, after all, after Master Xuanzang came back, he caused quite a stir in Chang'an City. Fang Xuanling said.

"That's right, the return of Master Xuanzang has brought Buddhism to another level, and all of a sudden, in the states and counties around Chang'an City, the Dharma meetings held in Buddhist temples have sprung up like spring shoots, and the big eyes in Chang'an City are looking at it, and the monks on the street are more than usual I don't know how many times, the problem is, so many monks, and the identity document issued by the government to the temple, how much is it every year?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"This ......"
