From NPC To Overlord

Chapter 293: The strategy of eradicating Buddha and Pinghu!

After cleaning up the Buddhist forces in Chang'an, Gu Chong drove back, surrounded by Shi Zhixuan and others, and returned to Luoyang.

Gu Chong came to the throne and expanded the palace once, but it was still unfinished when he left. Now that he came back, a group of tall and majestic buildings such as Chengtianmen, Taiji Hall, Liangyi Hall, Ganlu Hall, Yanjia Hall, and Xuanwumen were located in sequence. , very gorgeous, and with a strong royal style.

At this time, Yang Guang was no longer the emperor, and Gu Chong had no idea of ​​seeing the emperor every day, so he and his concubines and concubines were moved out and found another palace in Luoyang.

By this time, in the entire palace, even the guards had been replaced, as were the rest of the eunuchs, palace maids, except for very few.

This time back, it can be said that the weather is completely new.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Gu Chong raised the ninth weight high and sat on the dragon chair with a solemn expression, accepting the worship of the people below.

Not only ministers such as Su Wei and Han Chuhu, but also Shi Zhixuan, Song Que, Hou Junji and others were among them.

"Proposed decree! Seal Pei Ju as King Dingxing, with a bounty of 10,000 taels, and grant him residence in the mansion in Luoyang! Seal Song Que as Duke Anguo, with a bounty of 5,000 taels, and grant him residence in the mansion in Luoyang!"

Gu Chong issued the first imperial edict.

This time, Shi Zhixuan made a big contribution in the battle to destroy the Buddha. If Gu Chong fought alone, he might not be able to clean up the group of bald donkeys.

When Song Que was destroying the Buddha, he fought three battles and three victories with the Turks, forcing the Turks to retreat to the north, and made great contributions to the safety of the border, so he also received rewards, and they were still heavily rewarded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shi Zhixuan and Song Que immediately went out to express their thanks.

In fact, any emperor is quite taboo for the powerful people like Shi Zhixuan and Song Que. Even if they don't deliberately target them, they won't give them too high official positions, let alone the position of princes.

But looking at Gu Chong's attitude, he obviously did not suspect the two of them. Although he knew that he was more confident in his own strength, he still made Shi Zhixuan and Song Que feel much closer.

In addition to the two generals, other people who made contributions during this period were also rewarded, a total of 27 people, and everyone was smiling and happy for a while.

Even the other old officials who didn't get the reward were much calmer and more cheerful, and they didn't have the previous worries.

The battle of Chang'an shocked the world, and at the same time showed the prestige of the imperial court. Everyone knew that the rise of the Great Sui at this time was unstoppable.

"Su Wei, how did you handle the task of destroying the Buddha in the northern temple that was handed over to you earlier?"

The temple property of each Buddhist temple does not need to pay taxes, and the tenants are widely collected, they are recruited by people, they train monks, and they accumulate soldiers and armor, just like the local tyrants!

It is simply a fight for luck with the ruler! How can this be tolerated?

After all, the fertile land and population are limited, and the income is given to the temple, so where does the ruler's taxation come from?

Therefore, Gu Chong had already made up his mind to destroy the Buddha.

In essence, by now, it is basically the consensus of the whole world. It's just that the Great Sui has a lot of power in the north, so Gu Chong naturally has to start in the north first.

"Fifty-nine temples have been raided. The greed and wealth of Buddhist temples is simply shocking!"

Su Wei thought of the number of temples around Luoyang at this time, and the fertile fields that had been invaded, all without having to pay taxes, and he couldn't help but feel ruthless.

"but……"

Su Wei hesitated for a moment, then continued: "There are many tenants in the Buddhist temple, and this move has also aroused public resentment. In addition, the Buddhist sect incited the tenants to rebel, which caused a great obstacle to the court's destruction of the Buddha."

The corner of Gu Chong's mouth brought a smile: "I'm going to issue another decree, and now the tenants who are farming for the temple, as long as they come to the government to report, except for the temple's tax-free quota, all other fields and acres will be equally distributed to the tenants, and, Tax-free for the first two years, and only 20% less tax than the local temple for the next ten years, how about it?”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Su Wei sighed in his heart, this move is poisonous and spicy, and it hits the spot.

If the temple wants to rebel, how can it be enough to rely on dozens or hundreds of monks?

It is necessary to incite the tenants and mobilize the surrounding people to form an uprising army of tens of thousands.

But Gu Chong is now pulling his salary from the bottom of the pot, cutting off the temple's original support in one fell swoop.

The tenants are actually renting the property of the temple. If they can take the fertile land for themselves, and even collect less taxes than the temple, why would they not want to?

The common people are all motivated by profit, not to mention that they have the support of the government this time.

Even if there are a few die-hard loyalists who collude with the monks, they are very few. What kind of climate did they achieve?

"Your Majesty, the rebel king Shichong announced his surrender yesterday, and all the 150,000 thieves under his command have come under the jurisdiction of my Da Sui." At this time, Yu Guluo clasped his fists and reported.

"Unfortunately... if Wang Shichong resists for another month or two, I will be able to uproot them!"

Gu Chong seemed to have a gentle expression in his eyes, but he thought about it in his heart, but it was something else entirely.

He didn't want Wang Shichong to surrender too soon. Without him, this man was originally a general of the Great Sui Dynasty.

In the army under his command, there are also many people with the blood of the Hu people, and they are hostile to the Han people!

It is naturally the best to be able to annihilate it completely.

But Wang Shichong is also a smart man, he knows that whether he resists or surrenders, he must be resolute and quick!

Therefore, as soon as the Lord Harmony faction gained the upper hand, Wang Shichong immediately opened the door to offer the city.

After all, politics is an art of compromise. If even the people who seek refuge are killed, who will serve Gu Chong in the future?

"Since it's not enough to force it, we can only do it slowly, divide the attack, take the Han people as the main body, and digest it... After the third generation, all the familiar Hu and Han people must account for more than half of the blood. After the fifth generation, there will be no more Hu people. For the Han people!"

Gu Chong knew quite clearly in his heart that Wang Shichong and other famous surnames had their foundations on the land.

If it is transferred, or even directly transferred, they will be moved to the heart of the Han people and isolated.

In the absence of the support of the Hu people and the strong Han people themselves, they can only silently sinicize ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ willing to be the concubines of the Han people. In this way, after several generations, when the Han blood in the clan is more than half, You can even get naturalized directly, there is no difference between Han and Hu.

Perhaps, after a hundred years have passed, those whose ancestors have the blood of the Hu people will try their best to hide it and feel ashamed.

As for Wang Shichong, he is just a capricious villain. We should monitor him first and execute him at will in a few days. It would be a good idea to let him go to war and charge into battle.

"Reporting to the sage, in addition to Wang Shichong's surrender, Du Fuwei, together with Guo Zitong and other rebels, fought stubbornly, defeated Song Hao, Gongsun Shangzhe, Chen Ling and other famous Sui generals in a row, and has occupied the vast area of ​​Jianghuai. All the tyrants and high-ranking officials raided their families and exterminated their families, and the methods were extremely cruel, and I hope that the Holy Lord will send a large army to destroy them as soon as possible!"

A high-ranking official from Shandong Group stood up and spoke with plausibility.

Du Fuwei and other uprising troops were very purposeful, targeting only high-ranking officials, especially those from aristocratic families, causing heavy losses to the Shandong Group and even the Jiangnan Group.

The executives of the two major groups are naturally keenly aware of the tricks.

Now that the Guanlong Group has been hit hard, the rebel army has suddenly attacked the people of these two groups, plus Gu Chong's somewhat laissez-faire attitude, no matter how you look at it, they all came from these two groups.

It's a pity that the major groups in the imperial court have long been unable to call the wind and call the rain, other than a bitter smile, what's the use?
