In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

Gu Li quickly realized that Zhang Ci'er saw that they would not dare to open the city to meet the enemy, so they gathered around to fight for reinforcements, and the reinforcements came to fight one, and two to fight one pair.

Gu Li could only quickly call a meeting with the courtiers to think of countermeasures.

When Gu Li passed by the government office before, there were only a dozen Beijing officials who went up to the city wall with him, and then some officials went up to the city wall to support him one after another.After the battle was over, the rest of the hiding people also came out, so Gu Li's small temporary office was crowded to the brim.

When there are too many people, it starts to make noise.

Someone accused Yang Hongjian of not listening to Gu Li's words before missing the opportunity - the Yanguan learned of Gu Li's prediction about the weather from the collection of Qingmao.

Some accused Yang Hongjian of not seizing the opportunity to attack the city and cooperate with the outside world.

There was also someone who helped Yang Hongjian accuse the other party of standing and talking without back pain.

Anyway, Gu Li could tell that the imperial court was roughly divided into two factions, one was headed by Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zuo Shijue, and there were not many people. Juepai scolded them to be a nest with the great eunuch Wang Zheng. It seemed that this group of people resembled the eunuchs who were attached to Wei Zhongxian in the late Ming Dynasty, so Gu Li simply called them eunuchs in his heart.

The two groups of people quarreled until their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they almost wanted to fight.

Gu Li was sitting watching the play, with a solemn expression on his face, and he was already shouting excitedly in his heart: Let's fight!fight!

After all, this is a fight between a group of old men with an average age of over fifty, which is rare!Hurry up!Master Xia!Pull his beard!Sir Left!Take out his crotch!

However, the play did not develop in the direction that Li Li expected. Prime Minister Mu is useless, and his level of harmony is first-rate, and he uses the all-powerful golden sentence at the right time: "Okay, okay, it's not easy to fight! This is a big New Year's... ..."

The new year has passed, but it is still the first month. According to the beautiful traditions of the Chinese people, it is still the New Year in the first month.

Two groups of people went down the steps, Gu Li was disappointed.

Gu Li had no fun, so he could only cheer up to deal with the government affairs.

According to Gu Li's deduction, there are two factions in the court, one is the Eunuch Party headed by the eunuch Wang Zheng, and there are quite a lot of people. It is the leader of the eunuch party, and the other group is represented by Zuo Shijue and others, who are against the eunuch party, and there are not many people.

Gu Li doesn't like eunuchs interfering in politics, and he doesn't want to see the ministers of the court forming cliques for personal gain, cliques fighting to disrupt the country. If you want the world to be peaceful, you have to tidy up these people first.As for how to clean up, he still has to think about it.

He smiled and asked the rowdy scholar-bureaucrats to leave, leaving Prime Minister Mu, the six ministers and nine ministers to discuss countermeasures together.

In the end, it was agreed that Li Xiewen, the servant of the Ministry of War, should be the commander-in-chief. If Zhang Ci'er wanted to encircle and fight for reinforcements, Li Xiewen would lead his troops out of the city and cooperate with the Xuanfu and Changping armies.

Li Xiewen asked Gu Li for another person. He said it was a student in the Imperial College named Xie Lian. The day before yesterday he brought more than 100 people from the Imperial College to help.

"The supervisor of the Imperial College?" Gu Li seemed to have heard someone raise his ear, but he didn't pay attention at the time.

"It's Yin Sheng. His father was Xie Chixing, the former governor of Liaodong. He died in the battle and sacrificed his life for the country. He went to the Imperial College to study."

Gu Li nodded, telling Li Xiewen to order whoever he wanted.

Li Xiewen ordered 1 people to lead the team to practice in the north of the city, and waited for the Xuanfu and Changping troops to gather to help, and then Li Xiewen could lead troops out of the city to meet outside cooperation.This move is a dangerous omen. As soon as Li Xiewen leaves the city, he will immediately close the city gate and cannot open it again. Whether he can cooperate with the inside and outside outside the city, or be dumped by the rebels, depends on his own fortune. .

Zhang Ci'er didn't sit still outside the city, and after inquiring about another local army coming to aid Beijing, he led the troops to take the initiative to attack, and fought several more rounds within a few days, each winning or losing.

The situation in the capital is becoming more and more tense.

The governor of Shuntian Prefecture reported to him that the people in the town and the city passed on word of mouth, saying that the country will not be ruled now, there is a severe drought in the northwest, and there are uprisings everywhere, all because the emperor is stupid and absurd. Be the emperor personally.

"Destroy Buddha?" Is there such a thing?Gu Li had just put it on, and the dragon robe was not warm yet, he really didn't know about it.

But as long as you think about it a little bit, you will understand that this is a financial matter.

The nomads in the north have been harassed for years, and it cost a lot to raise soldiers. However, in the south, because of the rebellion of Zhang Cier and others, the people abandoned their homes and businesses and went into exile. In addition, the monks are all laborers in the prime of life, and most of the Buddha statues in the temple are made of copper, which are placed on the table and worshiped by people. It is better to cast them into copper coins. The court naturally put its idea on the temple.

In the first year of the extermination of Buddhism, the financial revenue did increase. However, after returning to secular life, many monks would rather go into exile and become beggars and wandering monks than farm land, because the tax is too heavy and they cannot afford it.These exiles are another factor of social instability.Furthermore, temples often take care of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. When the temples are closed, the land is taken back, and the monks return to lay life, these old and weak people have no one to rely on.

Gu Li sighed deeply.He felt that with the IQ of the original owner, he would definitely not be able to think of destroying the Buddha. He didn't know who gave him the idea to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

Yin Kangqizong of Shuntian Mansion said: "It is obvious that someone is instigating this matter behind the scenes. I have ordered people to search and arrest. It is necessary to find out who is behind the scenes."

Gu Lidao: "Find the person behind this scene and kill him, will the rumors be quelled and the situation stabilized?"

Fu Yin's face flushed, and he remained silent.

Now that rumors are spreading in the capital, if the people's hearts are shaken, the external aggression has not gone, and the internal troubles arise again, the capital does not need to guard, Gu Li quickly finds a tree and hangs himself.

Gu Lidao: "The most important thing right now is to stabilize the hearts of the people. We must unswervingly follow the mass line, come from the masses, and go to the masses."

Shuntian Governor:? ?

Gu Li asked Shuntian Mansion Yin to go back first, and sat alone thinking about countermeasures.It didn't take long for Gu Youzhen to walk in, holding a shiny object in his small hand, which glistened in the sun, and showed it to his father as if offering a treasure.

When Gu Li saw that it was actually a piece of ice, he couldn't help but wonder: "It's already early spring, why is there still ice?"

You Zhen Nuonuo said: "Yu Banban is for my son to play with."

You held the ice cube in front of your eyes with a small red hand, and said with a smile: "Father, you have grown bigger!"

Gu Li stepped forward and took Youzhen's ice cubes to watch and play with. The charcoal stove was lit in the house, but it didn't feel like it. I didn't expect the temperature to drop so much that it was freezing outside.

For a moment, he suddenly thought of something.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials Zuo Shijue walked quickly through the Daming Gate, entered the official office, saw a familiar figure in front of him, quickly chased after him and said, "Prime Minister Mu! Why are you here?"

When Prime Minister Mu saw Zuo Shijue, he nodded slightly without haste.

Zuo Shijue smiled and said, "What is the prime minister doing here?"

"Come to find Yang Sheren."

The Yang Sheren Mu Hualing mentioned was Yang Wei from Zhongshushe.

Zhongshu Sheren is the clerk, who usually manages documents and draws up edicts for the emperor.

Zuo Shijue asked: "Your Majesty wants to make an order?"

Mu Hualing nodded, unwilling to say more.

Prime Minister Mu is sixty-one years old, has experienced three dynasties, and looks like a good gentleman all day long. No matter how fierce the party disputes are, he always has a kind and vague attitude. He is even kind to Wang Zheng, the eunuch. Zhong Qingliu gritted his teeth and secretly nicknamed him Mud Bodhisattva, but Zuo Shijue understood that Prime Minister Mu was not that simple.

When Wang Zheng gained power, he was majestic, holding great power, and ruled out dissidents. Most of the officials in the court were promoted by Wang Zheng'an, but there were also a few Qingliu who were preserved. The young people couldn't understand it, but Zuo Shijue knew it. Prime Minister Mu contributed a lot.

Zuo Shijue is the head of Qingliu, and he has a good relationship with Mu Hualing.It's just that last year because of the death of Xie Chixing, the Liaodong economic strategist, Mu Hualing had a prejudice against Zuo Shijue and other Qingliu parties. When seeing Zuo Shijue, he was still amiable, but he didn't want to say anything more.

Zuo Shijue wanted to show his favor, and asked enthusiastically: "But because of the fact that you have been spreading folk songs in the streets and alleys for several days?"

But as far as he knew, Prime Minister Mu had instructed Shuntian Fu Yin to report this matter to the emperor.

Prime Minister Mu nodded: "It seems that Mr. Zuo has heard about it."

Zuo Shijue asked directly: "I don't know how Your Majesty will respond?"

"Your Majesty wants to issue an edict to punish oneself and withdraw the order to exterminate the Buddha." Prime Minister Mu sighed slightly and let out a breath of white air: "I still have to go to Xuanpo Terrace to copy scriptures."

Zuo Shijue frowned: "It's such a time..."

Prime Minister Mu looked at him with complicated eyes.It may be useful to issue an imperial edict, but what does His Majesty think about going to the Xuanpo Terrace to copy scriptures when the war is raging?

Originally, His Majesty personally climbed the city wall to supervise the battle, said a lot of cheering words, and then took down Wang Zheng. It was really exciting, but it didn't take long for His Majesty to show his true colors again.

Prime Minister Mu still has to look for Zhongshu Sheren, so let's go first.

Zuo Shijue looked at his slightly bent back and sighed pessimistically.

Is it true that there will be no more sunny days in this day and night?

Gu Li summoned Zhongshu Sheren, issued an edict of guilt, scolded himself, withdrew the edict to exterminate the Buddha, and issued another order to restore order in the temple, and all monks living outside can return to the temple by themselves. People posted cuneiwen in the city, and punished themselves to copy scriptures on Xuanpotai.

Xuanpotai is a ghostly place on the west side of the palace, facing the water, and it's terribly cold, with a layer of ice on the surface of the water. Gu Li ordered people to break the ice, sprinkle salt into the water, and then draw water from the hot spring palace. The entire Xuanpotai was steaming with steam and mist.

Gu Li was trembling, ordered someone to light a charcoal brazier, and copied the scriptures with shaking hands.At night, the palace was deserted, and the little eunuch serving him poured soup for him. When he gave it to him, Gu Li's palms itched, as if someone had touched it lightly. It felt weird. He glanced at the little eunuch, Also strange and delicate.

Gu Li didn't know why, so he sat in front of the desk and wrote something.The little eunuch was so bold that he leaned forward and saw that what he wrote was not from right to left, but from top to bottom. The scriptures are really strange, although Ah Qin is illiterate, he has never seen such writing."

Gu Li smiled and said, "Hey, what kind of scriptures are these for Bodhisattvas? Wouldn't it be a waste of good time to copy Laoshizi scriptures?"

The little eunuch called Ah Qin was stunned, his delicate face flushed, and he said coyly: "Your Majesty, this is not good, doing such things in this place..."

Gu Li wondered: "What's wrong with doing this kind of thing? Practice makes perfect, more practice is always right!"

Ah Qin blushed even more, silently stretched out his hand to untie his robe, and fell on Gu Li's body.Gu Li was stunned, his scalp exploded, he hurriedly pushed him away, and asked, "What are you doing?!"

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that the relationship between the young eunuch Ah Qin and the original owner must be unusual!

Well, you original owner, you don’t care about government affairs, indulge in pleasure, and get close to courtiers, that’s all you need, but you still play with children!

A-Qin was also stunned by Gu Li's push and questioning. He was ashamed and angry: "Didn't His Majesty say that it is always right to practice more? Why did Your Majesty go back on his word and tease A-Qin?!"

Gu Li was furious, and said sternly, "I'm practicing official document writing! You... what are you thinking about in your mind?!"

He showed a line on the case: "Notice on the Eradication of Mountainism in the Imperial Court", which is a very standard official document format.
