"The temple is a good place." Xuan Shijing smiled: "It's comparable to the treasury......"

Several monks standing beside Xuan Shijing looked at each other, and the wealth in the temple was beyond their imagination.......

"All the property in the Fahua Temple should be sealed, including the treasury and the land deed, as for these monks, all of them reside in the Fahua Temple, and no one is allowed to go out without the order of the imperial court!" Xuan Shijing said loudly: "Gao Jun is always happy! ”

"The subordinates are here!" The two stepped forward and bowed their hands in response.

"The two of you stay in the Fahua Temple with the brocade guards and guard here, before Your Majesty makes an order, the Fahua Temple is temporarily closed to the public, and no one outside is allowed to come in, and no one inside is allowed to go out." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes!" The two of them replied.

"Second Brother Fang, there is labor for you here, I will take the account book and enter the palace immediately." Xuan Shijing said.

Fang Yiai nodded.

The results of the raid of Fahua Temple are shocking, just one temple has encroached on so much land, thinking about so many temples around Chang'an City, it makes people shudder.

Xuan Shijing hurried to the palace, and the Fahua Temple was raided by the Shenhou Mansion and quickly penetrated through the mouths of many pilgrims in Chang'an City, as far as it is concerned, Xuan Shijing's reputation in the mouths of the people of Chang'an City is even more embarrassing, and the main person in charge of the Shenhou Mansion is not Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing?

The common people have a gossip heart, think about yesterday the monks of Fahua Temple had a dispute with Dongshan Hou in Dongshan County, and now Dongshan Hou led people to raid Fahua Temple, this is not revenge?

Many people specially ran to the Fahua Temple, looking inside outside, to see if it was really as rumored, Fahua Temple was seized by the people of the Shenhou Mansion, when they saw the Jinyi guard standing at the door in a flying fish suit, it was accurate to the news, for a while, Chang'an City was also panicked.

In fact, only the people in the temple are uneasy, plus some believers in Chang'an City......

Fahua Temple was tightly sealed by the Jinyi Guard, isolating everything outside, so there was nowhere to go for other temples or believers in Chang'an City who wanted to inquire about some news.

Just need to know why Fahua Temple was sealed? If it was just because of a little friction with the Marquis of Dongshan, there would be no need for such a big battle, the Marquis of Dongshan is just a marquis, and there is the Emperor of the Son of Heaven above, and now there is such a big movement in Chang'an City, Your Majesty will not know?

So far, there has been no movement in the imperial court, and the people of the Yushitai have not lined up to go to the palace to participate in the Dongshan Marquis, what does this mean? It shows that the behavior of the Marquis of Dongshan was acquiesced by the imperial court and approved by His Majesty.

What is the fault of this Fahua Temple?

The news of the seizure of Fahua Temple spread, and at this time, Xuan Shijing was in the Ganlu Hall and told His Majesty Li Er about the process of raiding Fahua Temple.

His Majesty Li Er listened to Xuan Shijing's narration while looking at the account book recorded by Marshal Zhao of Fahua Temple, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that the matter of the raid of Fahua Temple has now spread all over Chang'an, and the Jinyi Guard is still guarding Fahua Temple, and even the people and property are closely guarded, and I ask Your Majesty to decide." Xuan Shijing arched his hand.

"Virtue." His Majesty Li Er called.

"Yes."

"Let the three provinces strictly inspect the temples around Chang'an one by one, the monks who have no identity documents are all vulgar, and the land collected by the temple is reported by the Chang'an Mansion one by one, and the temple has illegally recruited monks in recent years, and the taxes owed to the court are all made up, otherwise, it will not blame the court for being polite." His Majesty Li Er said: "In the future, every year when monks are recruited in the temple, they must go to the government to report, and the government will review and pass the examination, and they will be allowed to issue identity documents and allow them to become monks. ”

"No." Virtue and righteousness responded.

"Your Majesty, that Fahua Temple is ...... now" Xuan Shijing looked at His Majesty Li Er.

"Those who do not have identity documents are all dismissed from Fahua Temple, and those who have identity documents continue to stay, and all the property in the temple is confiscated, and the three provinces strictly inspect other temples, and the same is true." His Majesty Li Er said with a cold face.

It's no wonder that the tax revenue of Chang'an Mansion is not as good as a year after year, and the land is occupied by these monk temples, where to collect taxes!

For example, where did the nearly 700 illegal monks of Fahua Temple go? Fahua Temple adds up to 23,000 acres of land, including Chang'an City's noble merchants who gave it to the temple, and the 700 monks, Yongye Tian plus Koufentian, 35,000 acres of land, full of calculations, just one temple, the land that was annexed out was at least 12,000 acres.

How big is that? So much land, and it was taken over by a few noble and wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City?

In the temple, it is said that tenants are hired to farm the land, but how much land is actually planted? How many are deserted? How many were sold by the temple?

There is no way to know any of this.

"Yes." Xuan Shijing responded.

In this way, the Jinyi guard on the side of Fahua Temple only needs to wait for the three provinces to send someone to take over, and then he can withdraw from the temple, and then return to Zhuangzi for the New Year in peace, regardless of his ups and downs in Chang'an City, it has nothing to do with him.

As for fame? Oh, once the property details of the temple are announced, who will have a bad reputation? It's not him Xuan Shijing, but those monks who are sanctimonious.

They are all dressed plainly, but there is such a big wealth hidden in the temple, and the golden body of the Buddha statue has not been seen to shape how golden it is, and the people donate sesame oil money, isn't it just to mold the golden body of the Buddha statue? I knew that the temple was so rich, so I hid it and donated it......

Xuan Shijing left the palace, returned to Fahua Temple, briefly explained the will of His Majesty Li Er to Jinyiwei, and then took Qin Bingyue back to Zhuangzi.

After all, Jinyang is also worried about the affairs of Buddhism, so it is better to go back and tell her the results earlier, so as to worry about it at home, and besides, there is nothing to do with him here in Chang'an.

The carriage left Fahua Temple and went out of the city gate, but he saw Yuan Tiangang on the side of the road, and looked at his style, saying that it was a chance encounter, which was unconvincing.

Xuan Shijing lifted the curtain of the carriage window and poked his head out.

"Daoist Yuan is waiting here for Ben Hou?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded: "That's right, Hou Ye made such a big move in Chang'an City, even if you don't want to know, I'm afraid it's difficult." ”

"I don't know what Yuan Daochang saw Ben Hou for?" Xuan Shijing asked: "This Daoist Sun is there, Benhou has also told you about it, and Daoist Sun also intends to help Daomen, so Benhou feels that there is nothing to say between Benhou and Daoist Yuan." ”
