At the beginning, the villain was defeated

Chapter 81: The Rich Is Not Kind
At the beginning, the cabinet ministers who wanted to persuade him didn't dare to say anything more after hearing Liu Hao's unquestionable voice.

They are not like Guan Zhong, they can break into the Qianqing Palace without being punished, and they can give advice to the Holy One and be tolerated!

As long as they really offend Liu Hao, even if they are cabinet ministers, they cannot escape the fate of being imprisoned!
Therefore, with Liu Hao's displeased face, no one dared to say anything more.

"Your Majesty! Are you visiting Ningcheng County this time in private? Or is it a formal tour?"

"If it's a private visit, then according to the original rules, let Admiral Yu and General Huo accompany you to Ningcheng County together!"

"If it's a formal tour, the ministers should prepare in advance and let Ningcheng County prepare in advance to pick them up!"

Seeing that there was no room for the matter, no one else dared to speak up, so they could only rely on Guan Zhong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to raise the matter.

"I'm not visiting in private this time! It's an official tour!"

After hearing Guan Zhong's inquiry, Liu Hao replied directly.

"Chen, I understand!"

"Chen, I understand!"

After receiving Liu Hao's exact answer, under the leadership of Guan Zhong, several cabinet ministers in the hall replied one after another.

"Hmm! This is why I asked you to come here this time!"

"Except for the pipe, the rest of you can leave first!"

Liu Hao nodded when he heard the words, and after signaling to Guan Zhong, he said to the other cabinet ministers.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Minister, please leave first!"

These cabinet ministers are all veterans of the officialdom who have been officials for many years. Seeing that the emperor Liu Hao said so, it is not clear that Liu Hao wants to talk to the chief assistant Guan Zhong!
So after Liu Hao spoke, they all bowed and said goodbye one by one.

After hearing the words of these cabinet ministers, Liu Hao just nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, there were no more movements, and he picked up a memorial on the side and continued to read it.

"Guanzi! Do you know why I suddenly decided to go to the Tianma Temple in Ningcheng County to worship Buddha?"

After hearing the voices of several cabinet ministers walking away outside the hall, Liu Hao asked Guan Zhong a question while reviewing the memorial.

"Chen, don't dare to fathom the holy will! Please show me the holy majesty!"

After hearing Liu Hao's words, Guan Zhong didn't guess what Liu Hao was thinking, so he had to answer with the above-mentioned panacea.

"Guanzi! It's just you and me here, don't be so cautious!"

"Then guess again, what is the reason why I left you alone?"

Seeing that he didn't get the answer he wanted, Liu Hao asked Guan Zhong another question again.

"The minister dared to guess, is it related to the Holy Majesty's going to the Tianma Temple in Ningcheng County to worship the Buddha?"

After hearing Liu Hao's words, Guan Zhong blurted out without thinking.

"That's right! I kept you here because of this!"

"According to my information, Tianma Temple intends to collude with the entire Dagan Buddhist sect and do some treasonous things!"

I saw Liu Hao began to tell the reason slowly.

"What! Since Tianma Temple already has a heart of disloyalty, why does the Holy One go to Tianma Temple in person?"

Hearing this, Guan Zhong was also a little surprised, and by the way, he didn't understand Liu Hao's behavior of putting himself in danger.

"I personally went to Ningcheng County to see if Tianma Temple really wants to lead the entire Buddhist sect, dare to stand in the wrong team and fight against me and Dagan!"

"If it's true, it's not just Tianma Temple and other Buddhist temples!"

"I don't mind launching a campaign, it's about destroying Buddha!"

I saw that Liu Hao said in a firm tone, and the cold killing intent could still be heard in the words.

What Liu Hao said was murderous!
"The Holy Majesty's plan is to let the ministers lead the cabinet to appease the people of Daqian after launching the campaign to destroy Buddha?"

"In this way, we can avoid panic among the people!"

As clever as Guan Zhong, he quickly guessed Liu Hao's purpose.

"Yeah! That's exactly what I mean!"

"However, if this Buddhist sect really has the intention of treason, it would be a good thing for me to slaughter the entire Dagan Buddhist sect!"

"Since ancient times, monks have been lazy and unproductive!"

"That's it, there are still many rich merchants who want to donate money to the temple for peace of mind!"

"As a result, the monks are not only lazy, but even possess huge wealth!"

After Liu Hao paused, he continued:

"As the saying goes, being rich and not benevolent is an exaggeration!"

"They have a huge amount of wealth, and they don't know how to benefit and give back to Dagan. Instead, they lie on Dagan and suck blood from the common people!"

Liu Hao has always been an emperor who loves the people like his own son, but these monks take what they receive from the people, and don't use it for the people, it's fine, they still oppress those common people!
And those people who are still coaxing are willing to be oppressed by the other party!

This made Liu Hao a little angry!

Of course, these are not the reasons Liu Hao deliberately made up to attack Tianma Temple.

But in this world, such a thing has indeed happened!

According to the memory left by Liu Hao's predecessor, that incident should have happened in the period of the first emperor!
Jinshan Temple, once a sacred place of Buddhism, possessed a lot of wealth, and actually started the operation of begging for food from poor people!
The people were already so poor that they couldn't help it, so they asked Jinshan Temple so rich, why didn't they help the poor people like them, instead they turned to beg for food from them?
The answer from the monk of Jinshan Temple made the current Liu Hao feel like chopping down those bald donkeys with a knife!

The original answer of these bald donkeys is: "I have helped you today, but tomorrow you will still be poor!"

"But if you provide me with a little thing around you, you can use this merit to be reincarnated as a heavenly man, and go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss without suffering any suffering!"

They even think that it is something they should be able to enjoy when the people give alms to their monks!

This directly lowered Liu Hao's opinion of Buddha Sect by a large amount!

Of course, after that incident happened, Liu Hao's father and emperor only punished Jinshan Temple slightly because of the great power of the Buddhist sect and the fact that he had once been a master!

And for those monks and bald donkeys, that little punishment is like scratching the surface of their boots and has little effect!

Therefore, this is also the reason why Liu Hao now has the idea of ​​mobilizing to destroy the Buddha!
Of course, Tianma Temple colluded with the holy places of the Dagan Buddhist Sect to rebel, it was just an excuse for Liu Hao to use the knife!

Even if Lin Feng hadn't reminded him about it, Liu Hao would remember it one day, and he had to get rid of these blood-sucking tumors clinging to the people and Dagan!

And now that Tianma Temple may intend to rebel, it just gave Liu Hao the righteousness to use the knife!

As for the dissatisfaction of Buddhist sects in other dynasties after the slaughter of Dagan Buddhist sects, it is no longer within the scope of Liu Hao's consideration!
