White Horse Temple in the east of Luoyang City!
The White Horse Temple is the first ancient temple in China. It was built in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 68). It is the first government-run temple built after Buddhism was introduced to China. It is regarded as the ancestral temple of the origin of Chinese Buddhism!
From the perspective that Buddhism began in Tianzhu and spread to the world from China, White Horse Temple can be said to be the master of world Buddhism. At the beginning of the 21st century, the governments of India, Myanmar, and Thailand successively funded the construction of Buddhist temples in White Horse Temple. Making it the most internationalized temple in the world, it can truly be called the ¡°No. 1 Temple in the World¡±.
But at this time, the White Horse Temple did not have the peace and solemnity that a Buddhist treasure place should have. Groups of Guards soldiers carrying muskets on their shoulders, carrying long knives on their waists, and wearing khaki double-breasted mandarin duck war coats patrolled back and forth!
Yang Lian was holding a stack of papers in his hand in a Buddhist hall, facing a Buddha statue with his brows furrowed. Behind him stood a middle-aged man in green clothes and a small cap. However, this man, who was dressed similar to a waiter in a shop, had a face. There is no trace of humility in his expression, but a kind of cold arrogance!
"Are these evidences false?" After a long time, Yang Lian asked with a hoarse voice!
"Don't worry, Master Yang. I have been keeping an eye on this matter for more than a year. The evidence collected is guaranteed to be all false. Moreover, I have sent people to capture several key witnesses. As long as your Excellency comes to the city tomorrow, we will Someone stops the sedan chair and complains about injustice. When the time comes, your Excellency will handle the trial step by step. The only difficult thing here is that the group of gangsters who attacked and killed the tenants are on Xiong'er Mountain. The official has too few people, so there is really no way to take them down!" The man said in a tone of voice. Sure, no hesitation at all!
Yang Lian knew in her heart that the man was not lying, but with such an easy and great achievement in front of her, Yang Lian couldn't feel the slightest joy in her heart!
In the end, Yang Lian just said lightly: "I know, you go back first!"
The man didn't say much nonsense, just gave a salute and turned around to leave. When the man walked out of the White Horse Temple, he was holding a food box in his hand, with a humble smile on his face, and nodded and bowed to everyone he saw. , but the cold arrogance just now is gone!
Yang Lian stayed alone in the Buddhist hall, looking at the pages, with names and crimes on them, which made Yang Lian really panic. After a long time, Yang Lian put away the pages and walked out. The Buddhist temple!
As a result, as soon as Yang Lian left the Buddhist hall, he saw the sky full of stars, but he had already been in the Buddhist hall for a whole day!
Yang Lian looked at the starry sky, his eyes gradually became colder, and he murmured: "The country has been raising scholars for more than two hundred years, and the result is such a bunch of man-eating wolves. Your Majesty is right, these people are useless no matter what. I can¡¯t let go of the greed in my heart, and only by dropping the steel knife can I end it all. Since Your Majesty wants to use my, Yang Lian¡¯s hand to bring peace to the world today, then I, Yang Lian, will wipe out the good things in this world!¡±
The next day, Yang Lian sat in an eight-carriage sedan, marched majestically toward Luoyang City under the guard of honor of patrolling the sky, and supported by 500 guardsmen!
Outside Luoyang City, the officials of Henan Prefecture who had received the news a long time ago, as well as the respectable gentry near Luoyang City all came out to greet the imperial envoy!
Lu Shengqiao, the governor of Henan, was only fifty years old. Even as a teenager, he had been messing around in the officialdom for more than twenty years. If Zhu Youxiao hadn't reformed the civil service system after he ascended the throne, he would have gone to Beijing to work in the Sixth Department by now. Become a waiter in a certain department!
But Lu Shengqiao didn¡¯t think anything of it if he wasn¡¯t promoted. He got a lot of benefits from staying in Henan Prefecture for one more year. Even if he retires and goes home to retire, he can become a wealthy man safely!
With this almost desireless mentality, Lu Shengqiao didn't feel too much when facing Yang Lian who was about to come, so his expression was a little more contented!
Soon a distant group of people appeared on the horizon. Everyone knew that this was the imperial envoy who had arrived. They all quickly straightened their clothes and waited to greet the imperial envoy!
Lu Shengqiao looked around, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and said to himself: "It's becoming more and more difficult to get along in official circles these days. Do you still think that you can rise to power by pleasing an imperial envoy?"
soon!
Yang Lian¡¯s imperial envoy¡¯s guard of honor was brought in front of everyone. No matter how disdainful Lu Shengqiao was, he still took the lead and bowed deeply, saying: ¡°Lu Shengqiao, the magistrate of Henan Province, greets the imperial envoy!¡±
Yang Lian was sitting in an eight-carriage sedan. He didn¡¯t even open the curtain of the sedan. He just said: "Master Lao Lu, let¡¯s go to the government office to talk first!"
Lu Shengqiao and the officials from the Henan Prefecture were both stunned, and thought to themselves: "This imperial envoy is too arrogant. Officials from the first government greeted him, but he didn't even meet him. Is it possible that he plans to offend the officials from the first government in Henan?"
How do these people know? In Yang Lian's eyes, they are no different from dead people, so there is no need to be polite to them!
In fact, this is also due to Yang Lian's character. In the original history, Wei Zhongxian was extremely powerful, but Yang Lian was not afraid at all. He wrote letters to impeach Wei Zhongxian one after another, and was eventually killed in prison by Wei Zhongxian!
In this time branch, Wei Zhongxian became Li Jinzhong, and Yang Lian also became Zhu Youxiao's lone minister. Although his destiny has undergone earth-shaking changes, Yang Lian's character has not changed. He is still upright and will never compromise. !
In a strange atmosphere, Yang Lian's imperial envoy's guard of honor entered Luoyang City, surrounded by officials from Henan Prefecture. Along the way, people lined the streets to watch the imperial envoy enter the city. Although there were no loud gongs and drums and colorful flags flying, it was still a sea of ??people. !
Seeing such a scene, Lu Shengqiao couldn't help but frown slightly. He had clearly ordered the people along the way to close their doors and not disturb the imperial envoy's passage. But now the scene was like this, which completely went against his wishes!
"Hmph! After the imperial envoy leaves, I must investigate this matter thoroughly to find out who is causing trouble for me!" Although Lu Shengqiao remained calm on the surface, he had already remembered this matter in his heart!
Just when Lu Shengqiao was furious to find the person who caused trouble for him, he saw a figure rushing out from the crowd on the street and rushing directly towards Yang Lian's sedan!
Before Lu Shengqiao could react, two of Yang Lian's guards rushed out, held the man down, and shouted at the same time: "Who is so bold as to dare to collide with the imperial envoy's honor guard?"
It was only then that everyone saw clearly that the figure was a beggar in rags, dirty and smelly clothes, because the man's face was covered with a layer of mud, and his appearance and age could no longer be seen, except for the left half of his face. There seems to be a scar, and even the left ear is gone!
"I'm wronged! I'm not here to challenge the imperial envoy, I'm here to cry out for my grievances. Please ask the imperial envoy to redress my grievances!" The man was pushed to the ground and yelled at the top of his lungs, but their shouts made everyone unanimous. shock!
Stopping a sedan chair to complain about injustice, this is something that only happens in dramas, but it actually happened in front of your eyes. This made the people who were inexplicably rushed to the street to greet the imperial envoy feel refreshed!
On the contrary, officials like Lu Shengqiao were all frightened. Even before the imperial envoys entered the city, someone stopped the sedan chair and complained about injustice. If there was any case, wouldn't someone be killed?
Even if no case can be found, the imperial envoy will have a bad impression on Henan officials if he encounters this kind of thing. By then, it will be difficult for everyone to get promoted!
As the saying goes, cutting off someone¡¯s financial path is like killing their parents. Cutting off someone¡¯s official career is like robbing someone¡¯s ancestral grave! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
