On February 1, the first year of Hongwu of the Dacheng Dynasty, Chen Henian dismounted at the gate of the imperial city early in the morning, walked into the imperial city, and sat in the deserted waiting room, waiting for the emperor to summon him.

After a while, a eunuch came inside, and it was rumored that Chen Henian went to the emperor's study in the Secret Literature Pavilion to meet him, and Chen Henian hurriedly walked through the small door and walked to the front of the Secret Literature Pavilion.

At this time, in the copper furnace in the hall, there was a fine smoke, the hall was full of strange incense, and there were two lines of shì guards standing outside the hall, Chen Henian walked into the hall, entered the study, and saluted again.

Chen Henian held the important position of the Thirteen Divisions, but this was the emperor's first will to the Thirteen Divisions after he ascended the throne, so he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say anything.

For a moment, Wang Hongyi didn't speak, and looked Chen Henian up and down.

The man was about thirty years old, fair-skinned, calm and resolute.

Wang Hongyi said: "The monks are plotting against each other, and they must not be ignorant of the canonical punishment.

Chen Henian's heart was hot. p Bai said, "This is the duty of the minister, how dare the emperor praise it." ”

Wang Hongyi said, "Those who have merit are praised, and those who have faults are degraded, Qing doesn't have to shirk this will, I have given it to you, don't have negative intentions." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi asked the friend eunuch to take out the holy decree and give it to Chen Henian.

Jing Henian kowtowed to thank him, took the will, raised his head, looked at the emperor with blazing eyes, and said, "The ministers will live up to the emperor's trust and kill all these chaotic ministers and thieves!"

Wang Hongyi nodded: "I believe it, stand down!"

Chen Henian responded, "Yes!"

With the decree in his hand, he withdrew, and when he came to the door, he strode out.

Chen Henian's thousand households, not far from the imperial city, are located in an official gate outside the imperial city, at this time the gate is tightly sealed, "the hundred households and the general flag are black and black standing neatly, each with a saber."

Baihu and Zongqi all had a premonition that there was going to be a big event, and in the silence in the hall, Chen Henian personally held the holy decree, and the two personal soldiers behind him followed him with a knife and entered the high hall.

Seeing that the holy decree was held, the originally quiet hall suddenly became solemn and solemn, and seeing that Chen Henian was decided, the hundred households and the general flag "knelt down together!"

Chen Henian put the holy decree on the case, glanced at the hall, and said: "The emperor has given a clear decree to exterminate the thief, and the official is ordered to act" involves the dispatch of the seven provinces, and has the right to cut first and then play. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, even if he worshipped, there was still a sāo movement in the hall, but in the blink of an eye, it was quiet.

"Everyone, get up, Lord Liu," you tell me about the deployment. ”

Everyone in the inner hall got up, still silent, only to see Liu Duqianhu come out of the ranks, glanced at it, and said with a cold expression: "On December 27, the eighteenth year of Chuizheng, after the Dharma meeting was held, there were evil monks who plotted great rebellion and cast spells to assassinate the emperor, which is a great rebellion and a great crime to exterminate the nine clans. ”

"After investigation and deployment, there are thirty-one temples in Fanyuan Sect, twenty-seven temples in Dajue Sect, and forty-one temples in Jifa Sect, these temples are distributed in various provinces, and it is difficult to uproot them at the same time. ”

After speaking, Liu Duan Qianhu gave Chen Henian a salute and took a step back.

Chen Henian sneered: "Brahma is cunning and abnormal, the best at forming nets, pervasive, and many times in the interior, according to investigations, the fall of the secluded, merged, and cool cities is all internal, and now he dares to plot against the emperor!"

Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face jumped: "These thieves, do you think that this dynasty will not dare to do it?

Chen Henian slowly looked around at everyone and raised his voice: "This official is now a Qincha, thirteen departments and thousands of households in various provinces, and those who dare to disobey will be killed." ”

"All provinces, counties, and counties must cooperate, and an army of 500 people can be adjusted to act, and those below the rank of five-rank officials, if there are those who dare to delay and disobey, they will be cut first and then played!"

, "Kill, don't kill, how to deter the world!"

Hearing this, everyone saluted and said loudly: "Kill, kill all the rebels and leave no one behind!"

Chen Henian was very satisfied, and drank, "Everyone listens to the order!"

Immediately everyone in the hall knelt down.

Chen Henian drank: "Immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book, the messenger ride quickly, and send the following notice, the temples on the list colluded with the Hu people, the crime is extremely evil, and immediately raise troops to encircle and suppress." ”

"The overseers sent in the provinces in advance will closely supervise the extermination situation, and if there are people who dare to leak the news, they will be killed immediately!"

"The provinces confirmed the news, and seven days later, that is, on the morning of February 8, all the provinces started together, sent troops to encircle and suppress, and according to the emperor's order, regardless of the old and young, all of them were killed, and all the fields and temples and forests were confiscated!"

"This official repeats again, there must be a law in action, and those who take advantage of the fire to rob and seize the people's property and the people will be killed, and at the same time, if there are people harboring rebellious people, they will also be killed, and no one will be allowed to slip through the net!"

Hundreds of households in the hall responded in unison: "Obey the orders of the adults!"

On this night, the name of the Agarwood Building on the second floor of the Agarwood Building is very elegant, in fact, it is an ordinary hotel, the so-called private room, the decoration is also very ordinary, the wall is pasted with a layer of wallpaper, which is changed once a month, and there are several lamps hanging on the walls around it, and there are candles on it.

This mid-grade restaurant, in Jinling is not 3,000 but also 800, but there are many guests, fresh materials, relatively low prices, many well-off people and scholars, all like to come here.

Ping Zhen and Tong Xuan came first, the charcoal stove in the pot was boiling the water in the pot, and a smell of tea overflowed, filling the whole room.

Ping Zhen took a sip and asked, "Are you really going to do it?"

"Yes!" Tong Xuan simply responded.

, "I don't want the emperor to do it, and I have no scruples about killing." Pingzhen knew that Tongxuan had many methods, and he didn't ask in detail, but just said with emotion.

"It's already considered a bit of a scruple, the previous dynasties destroyed the Brahman, killing more, and the blood was continuous. ”

"But the emperor's methods are more ruthless, in the past, although there were many killings, but often within a few decades, it was revived again, even more powerful than before, and now the strategy of the Han people is broken. ”

Pingzhen said with emotion: "It's chilling to watch, why is the gap between this person and people so big?"

The two of them sat on a table near the window, Tong Xuan looked at it from a distance, but said with a smile: "That's not much to say, you see, the guests are here." ”

It didn't look fake at all, and a group of people came from afar.

Ma Yuan, congratulatory letters, and Zhang Huan are among them.

"Senior brother, this Ma Yuan and the congratulatory letter are now officially issued and appointed as court lecturers, so it's just that, but the other people are all fatal?"

"Well, Zhang Huan said before, that is, there are people who have the possibility of being beautiful, and the others are all people I have seen closely, junior brother, although I don't say that I have a hundred shots and a hundred hits, but among this group of people, seven or eight out of ten can have official works, this is good fate." Seeing that Pingzhen had something to say, Tong Xuan waved his hand: "Don't say it, I know the measure, I just formed a good relationship with them when I was poor, and I won't give people the suspicion of forming a party." ”

Hearing this, Ping Zhen smiled: "I'm relieved." ”

In other words, this time I invited someone, although it was secretly influenced by Tongxuan, but it was not them who came forward, it was Zhang Ren'an, a middle-aged scholar with a small name in the local area, who was scheduled to have a banquet in Sī

After a while, a group of people came up, and a large group of people gathered on the second floor.

just came up, Zhang Ren'an handed over his hand, and everyone is a famous person, 1 Bu is a showman, the big one is a lifter, or has an official body, and they all salute each other.

, "These two are the Dao Leaders of the Curse and Forbidden Division, and they are the seventh grade. "Speaking of which, the two officials are the biggest, everyone has seen each other, but others are still it, the congratulatory letter is concentrated on Confucianism, I don't believe in this, I look at each other coldly, and see these two Taoist chiefs, about thirty or so, star-crowned feather clothes, there is a bit of fairy wind and bones, and the evil feeling is slightly reduced, but I still keep my face tight, only arch my hand, and refuse to say more.

Pingzhen Tongxuan smiled: "Poor Dao only came over to see everyone's talents." ”

Zhang Ren'an smiled: "Since this is the case, please sit down."

Saying that, he ordered the banquet, 1 Bu Er came and went, put a plate neatly, the dishes were exquisite, after taking a seat, began to serve wine and dishes, at this time, the congratulatory letter saw that the two Taoist dishes were no different from ordinary people, so he asked coldly: "The immortal chief is not taboo, why is it?"

This inexplicable hostility, Ping Zhen felt it early, and when he heard this, he "sprayed" a smile and said, "This adult, you are not good at reading!"

The congratulatory letter originally only had a bad feeling, but when he heard this, he was immediately furious and said coldly: "You say that I am not good at reading, and I really want to ask for advice." ”

Immediately, the atmosphere cooled down.

Pingzhen sandwiched a chicken tuǐ, and said with a smile: "Everyone, if you want to say this, you have to talk about history, my Daozun has established scriptures and edification, and it has been hanging for 1,200 years, and Daozun has set up sixty-eight precepts, and none of them have ever forbidden meat, which Lord He may not have read, right?"

Tong Xuan also smiled: "Actually, the Brahma Gate does not have this, the Brahma Ancestor made a precept, only said that he was not allowed to kill it personally, but he couldn't help purifying the flesh, and this precept came from the monarch of Yan State." ”

"Although the monarch of Yan is called the emperor, but the division is only one-fifth of the world, naturally not a real dragon, shallow knowledge, worship the Brahmana as the state religion, build tens of thousands of temples, raise 300,000 monks, just eat meat, it will deplete the treasury, this person has no choice, so he has to come up with a vegetarian theory. ”

"Hey, in ancient times, there was a vegetarian devil's way, so he used vegetarianism to compete with Brahman, according to the Sanskrit scriptures, and went to hell.

"As the founding king, he starved to death on the pavilion, and a generation has not been passed down. ”

"Not only that, pray for a big country of Taizu, called the Peacock King, although the area is not as good as this dynasty, but there are more than half, the population is almost the same as the Celestial Empire, it is a strong country, but the whole country believes in Brahman, and it is also the collapse of the country. ”

"Lord He was originally a Confucian student, and it is also right not to read books of foreign Taoism, but he should not be treated by the Brahman, let alone by the Sanskrit vegetarian demon path. ”

After the two finished speaking, they looked up to the sky and laughed, and everyone present listened to it, and they all looked at each other in horror. @。
