As soon as the Han Buddha came out, it was unexpectedly strongly resisted by Buddhist temples everywhere...
But this time, Yang Guang seemed to have made up his mind. He also took the same measures for these rebellious voices.
Suppress... Suppress again!
Luoyang City.
Since the Jingnian Temple was burned, the temples that were originally located around Luoyang City were full of incense.
The most famous of these is the White Horse Temple, located ten miles east of Luoyang City.
This temple was founded in the eleventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was the first government-run temple built after Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains. It is known as the "ancestral court" and "source of Buddhism" of Chinese Buddhism.
Many protests also appeared in the White Horse Temple when the Han Buddha's orders were issued.
"Naughty... this is simply an insult to the Buddha!"
"Yes, even if I wait until I die... I will never erect a Han Buddha!"
"Jun Yang Guang has insulted me several times in Buddhism. A few days ago, I had a few seniors who were preaching in the north, who also passed on the flying pigeons. They said that they invited me to go to the north to find a way out. Now Yang Guang is forcing me to wait. , Better than..."
"North, isn't that Turkic..."
"hiss--"
Some monks also showed resistance when they said something.
After all, even though they are monks, they are also native Han people who went to Turks, which is tantamount to letting them be traitors...
For many people, this is a difficult thing to accept.
But as Yang Guang continued to issue edicts, the situation of these monks in the White Horse Temple was also very difficult.
Not only the land in the temples, but also taxes, even some private properties were exposed by the wicked tenants and confiscated one after another, leading to monks with big waists and big ears.
Now I am so yellow and skinny, skinny...
"boom--"
A magnificent voice lit up, and immediately there was the sound of horseshoes, which seemed to surround the entire temple.
"Come here, surround this White Horse Temple for me!"
"Yes!"
Hearing such a movement, the temple host could not sit still, and rushed out of the Daxiong Hall in a panic. He happened to see the leader, and quickly squeezed out a smile, and said with a smile: "Master Yuwen, why are you free today? Come to my White Horse Temple as a guest?"
The coming person is Yu Wenhua and.
The latter had a stern look, ignored the host's compliments, and waved.
"Come on, search for me!"
With an order, a group of imperial soldiers with dark iron armor surged in and began to search for something in the temple with great fanfare.
Seeing this scene, many monks also showed a dazed look.
On the other hand, a small group of people changed their complexion and looked desperate. Seeing that the Forbidden Army was about to come in front of them and others, they turned around and even planned to slip away through the back door...
"Stop for me—"
Unfortunately……
For all of this, Yu Wenji had already expected it.
In other words, following Yang Guang these days, he was also ordered to clean up these Buddhist temples, and he was already familiar with it.
"General, I found—"
Soon, some of the forbidden troops also found letters from this group of people and handed them to Yu Wenhua and in front of them.
When the latter saw this, the bronze-colored face showed a sneer. After reading the contents of the letter calmly, he said loudly: "Sure enough, as your Majesty and the National Normal University expected, you colluded. Turk, the evidence is solid, what else can I say, come here... I will thoroughly investigate the White Horse Temple, and the monks in the temple will investigate one by one. Anyone who colludes with the Turk will die--"
"The rest of the people are all pressed into the sky prison, waiting for your majesty to dispose of, after the property in the temple is counted one by one, all confiscated!"
"Yes--"
Under this order, the Forbidden Army also seemed to have obtained some kind of permission, and they rushed into the halls with grinning smiles.
Although they did not dare to embezzle some important property, during the search process, some small objects that were not too precious naturally became their own pockets.
Regarding this, both Yang Guang and Yu Wenhua know this well.
But there is no meaning to care.
There is no fish when the water is clear...
If you want to work for your subordinates, in addition to the necessary training, some small favors are also a necessary process to buy people's hearts.
This same scene is happening all over the world.
Regarding Yang Guang’s move, some Buddhist temples naturally chose to accept it, whether it is a Han Buddha or a monk’s land registered. After losing the backbone of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Temple, these monks can only choose Resignation...
But there is still a group of restless people who are trying to start colluding with the Turks.
For these people, the Nets naturally have a way to strictly monitor them. Once enough evidence is found, the Forbidden Army is ordered to conduct a thorough investigation, and then all suspicious monks who have colluded with the Turks will be executed. The rest are not suspected. Will be taken back to the prison for strict scrutiny.
Under such circumstances, these monks who have changed are all in danger, and they dare not be as blatant as before...

grassland.
The sky is vast, the wild is boundless, the wind blows the grass and the cows and sheep are low. This was originally the most common sight on the grassland.
On the other hand, the tribes in the grassland kill each other and plunder, the powerful nobles, and the enslavement of ordinary herders are becoming more and more serious. Although there are many livestock on the grassland, there are very few free grazing areas, and the population distribution is very uneven.
For many reasons, poverty can be seen everywhere in the vast grasslands.
The tribal aristocrats on the grassland, one by one, are sitting on luxurious tents, with fine wine and edible meat, which are extremely luxurious, while ordinary tribal people can barely survive by grazing.
The hierarchy here is more serious than Zhongyuan, and it is currently in a slave society.
At the end of the grassland adjacent to the plain, the situation is slightly better.
Although there are fewer fertile pastures, because it is close to the Central Plains, there are some towns in the border.
These towns were originally outposts to prevent the invasion of the steppe tribes south, but in peacetime, they also acted as places for mutual trade between the two sides.
In the case that the grassland tribes have not invaded the Central Plains for many years, there has been a short-term peace in the trade exchange between the two sides.
Some not very valuable animal skins, cows, sheep and other objects on the grasslands can be obtained in the Central Plains, but they can be exchanged for a lot of cloth, iron, and tea, and the Central Plains all kinds of silk, porcelain, and many Luxury goods are also cherished by the prairie nobles.
The nomadic tribes in the border areas are therefore very wealthy.
Moreover, before the war between the two sides, these small tribes on the grasslands were still safe and guarded, guarding their own one-acre three-point living. Although they coveted the prosperity and stability of the Central Plains, no one dared to take a share at this time.
